Chapter 20 – 20. Everything happens for a reason.
It was a violent murder.
Hostility that sticks persistently to the soles of your feet and strangles your neck.
The life felt from the warrior on the first floor could easily be called fear.
This was the case even though I was not sending my life directly to the faculty. He was chopping up the necromancer, who was so distorted that he could not even recognize his original form, as if his anger had not gone away.
This went on for a while, but the professor seemed frozen and could not move.
It was because of some kind of instinct that I didn’t want to be seen by that warrior, like I encountered a bear while walking on a mountain path.
at last.
The completely crumbled corpse of a necromancer. Everyone felt sick to their stomachs at the cruelly horrendous sight, but they forced themselves to endure it.
It was an end that made Karen Joja, who had seen numerous disasters while serving as a mercenary, frown.
But it didn’t end there.
The swordsman placed his sword on the floor and slowly stretched out his hand.
Crunch.
He started tearing it apart and eating it.
“Ouch!”
Finally, the dean can’t stand it anymore, turns his head and spits out vomit. Karen and Erica also bit their lips and held back.
“… … “Crazy guy.”
Gideon, unable to contain his disgust, uttered a word, but Musa paid no attention.
Keep eating.
I ate it with such haste that it felt like someone was chasing me.
[…] … .]
I stand up slowly and pick up my sword.
He turned around and went down the stairs again without even looking at the professor at the top of the stairs.
thud.
thud.
thud.
“Haaa!”
When he completely disappeared from sight, Keren let out the breath he had been holding. Erica hurriedly headed to the necromancer’s remnants.
“You chewed everything, even the bones.”
He mixed the minced meat with the bones, ate it all, and walked away.
What remains on the floor are shed flesh and a pool of blood.
Otherwise, there was nothing left that would have been enough to dismiss the situation I just saw as an illusion.
“Geh! Geez!”
The dean, who had vomited in a corner of the hallway, wiped his mouth and spoke with a pale expression.
“D, Deius. Let’s call Professor Deius. “Maybe he knows something.”
Karen immediately agrees with those words.
“great. Please contact me right away.”
I thought there was no reason to refuse anymore and no way to solve the case, but Erica intervened right away.
“Ah, didn’t the necromancer say that earlier? Deius simply has better senses than others, but when it comes to the commands of evil spirits… … !”
“stop!”
The dean shakes his head, saying he is sick of it. The dean, who stood up and pointed at Erica with his finger, fiercely argued with her.
“If you think about it, isn’t it ultimately because of you, Professor Erica! I wanted to break my engagement with Professor Deius, so I fired him! So this Satan didn’t arise!”
“… … !”
Professor Erica clenched her fists for a moment, but could not say anything.
That was correct.
Even though there was an intention behind it to save Professor Deius, to the outside world, she was a bad bitch who got rid of her fiancé.
It was Gideon who spoke in that atmosphere.
“Professor Erica did not fire Deius for personal reasons. “How many times has he been caught behaving strangely?”
“… … .”
“Rather, I think we should pay attention to this. “Why did the evil spirits of the Academy suddenly appear?”
It was indeed correct.
Karen, who was quietly listening to the story, and Erica, who was investigating the situation, were actually the most worried about it.
“Until now, there have been ghost stories made up by students at the academy. But it was just a ghost story and a kid’s prank.”
“This has changed since Deius came?”
When the dean muttered as if possessed by something, Gideon shook his head and corrected himself.
“To be exact, this is what happened after Deius left. “I believe Deius’ handiwork was part of the series of events.”
He acted out of malice in being dismissed and created a situation in which he was inevitably needed.
The dean felt like a puzzle was falling into place in his head, and it soon turned into extreme anger and he screamed.
“dare! How dare you use Lovern Academy, the place of learning, for your own personal gain!? Are you threatening the lives of students and professors with something like that? “Isn’t this a threat?”
Erica tried to say something, but Gideon frowned and shook his head. What she meant was not to step forward carelessly.
However, Erica ignored even Gideon’s warning and shouted.
“for a moment! There is no evidence yet! “Didn’t Professor Deius leave a note for us?”
“Shut up!”
In the end, the dean, unable to control his anger, balled up the handkerchief he had used to wipe his mouth and threw it away.
It didn’t hurt at all, but it meant that my emotions were heightened.
“Professor Erica Bright! What on earth do you want! You are the one who was most active in getting Professor Deius fired! But now you’re protecting him again?! “Well, were you pushed around out of guilt?”
“… … .”
Is there no choice but to reveal it?

Even if it meant making herself a selfish bitch, she couldn’t place a greater burden on Professor Deius.
‘I just wanted to save you.’
Exhaling, Erica clenched her fists.
After Deius was possessed by an evil spirit and hanged himself.
Every day was like hell. At dawn, I secretly follow him as he deals with evil spirits.
Then, when he was possessed by an evil spirit and was about to commit suicide, I chased him down and saved him.
Strangulation 7 times.
Split 6 times.
Humor number 3.
Killed 9 times.
This is the number of times the damn demon tried to kill Deius.
Therefore, in order to save Deius, he dismissed him and made him lose affection for him.
I told Deius to stop several times, but… … .
done.
I didn’t want to remember that conversation.
“actually.”
Anyway, Erica was going to tell everything she knew. She says that Professor Deius was actually suppressing the evil spirits, and that she was the bad one.
It was like abandoning the academy to save Deius, who was suppressing evil spirits.
But at that moment.
[Shh.]
There is a ding and my vision goes dark. Professor Erica felt a strange floating sensation in her body, and she realized the moment she hit the ground that she was falling.
thud.
Professor Erica fainted.
“Erica!”
Due to the sudden situation, Gideon quickly tried to pick up Erica.
“Get out of my way.”
Karen stepped in and looked at Erica.
“It’s just a faint. “It seems like you haven’t been sleeping well lately, so please go to the nurse’s office and get some sleep.”
“… … .”
The conversation was interrupted by the sudden situation, but the dean shouted that it was confirmed anyway.
“I will write to Professor Deius once again! Sigh, time is running out to get from North Sweden to Lovern. “If you’re not careful, you may arrive after the semester starts.”
And then he adds, gritting his teeth.
“After solving all cases, Professor Deius will be held accountable. “First of all, bow down and go in, but once the situation is over, he won’t be able to easily return to his hometown.”
Now it’s a race against time.
Evaluation of students who are more fearful than evil spirits.
The dean held his pounding head and asked him to sort it out himself, then returned to the dean’s office.
I’m already pounding my chest in frustration as I think about writing a letter to him.
*
“Reject.”
“… … I’m serious?”
The usual 5 minutes.
Deia asks, fluttering the letter she holds with her index finger.
I don’t know why he read my letter on his own, but anyway.
Deia says with a subtle expression in response to my letter requesting reinstatement from the Academy.
“I’m not saying this out of selfish interest, am I? So, it’s not like I want you to get out of this mansion right away, or I don’t want to see you, or 5 minutes isn’t a waste, or anything like that.”
“You talk a lot, Deia.”
“Hmm, that’s not it. It’s because I really don’t have an opportunity like this. It’s now the start of the summer season. “Now is your last chance.”
Know.
If you miss this period, it will be difficult to return to your position as a professor at Lovern Academy.
The original plan was to drag it out as long as possible and return at exactly this time.
“There is still work to be done.”
There was no way to leave the Verdi mansion now.
‘The reinstatement and offer to the Academy is regrettable, but there is nothing we can do.’
Promises of research mechanisms, materials, and financial support were also written. A proposal so unconventional that Deia was instantly intrigued.
In addition, the main character and many other major characters in the game can form a direct relationship with the Golden Generation, which is enrolling in large numbers.
I decided to give up.
“Is it because of Emily?”
“okay.”
Despite Deia’s downcast expression, I answered calmly.
The little girl’s resentment has not yet been fully resolved. Not only that, he was planning to rescue as many evil spirits surrounding the mansion at this time.
For my future necromancy, I needed that.
“… … .”
When the story about Emily came up, Deia opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but closed it again.
click.
Five minutes are up.
Deia turned around and left my room without hesitation.
The sound of Findenai’s footsteps echoing back.
I reopened the map I had folded when Deia came in and lifted my pen.
‘If you can’t help from the inside, just help from the outside is enough.’
Ultimately, the goal is to prevent the destruction of the continent.
There were many ways to help the protagonist other than being a professor by his side, so the pen busily continued to mark checkmarks on the map.
These were all places where major episodes of the game or major items to obtain were located.
So what about the remaining evil spirits in the academy? Someone may ask.
I decided to let go of that part.
‘If you think about it, it was strange.’
Because although there were ghost story episodes in the game, they weren’t this excessive.
‘Maybe I disturbed the beehive, or maybe the evil spirits went into a dormant period when the main character came in.’
As long as you don’t touch them too much, they will fall asleep on their own.
… … .
… … … … .
… … … … … … .
“Is that really true?”
widely.
I put down the pen, frowned, closed my eyes, and leaned back against the backrest.
really.
Did the peacefully sleeping evil spirits wake up just because I was there?
I thought about it a few times.
How many times have you come up with a hypothesis?
I thought about it over and over again.
My answer from the academy was ultimately one.
“That can’t be possible.”
There is a reason for everything.
Like Deia hates me to the point of disgust.
Just like Erica Bright lost her affection for me for being stubborn and fired me.
As if the human bone bug had reawakened with the appearance of Maalx.
Even now, it’s like a faint scream that can be heard from the basement of the mansion.
Like a deep stab wound on my wrist.
The evil spirits of the academy also have a reason why they act like that.
Exhale.
Lift the pen again and check the location of Lovern Academy.
