Episode 577
“Oh, you came?”
The long-awaited news came from the inspector general.
The melons have arrived.
As soon as he heard that, Jason smiled brightly.
Melon.
To be honest, I shouldn’t have had any contact with Melon during my time at the academy.
But it happened.
Melon is in the 19th class. Jason is in the 13th class.
By the time Melon enrolls, Jason should have already graduated.
That connection arose because Jason had been on leave for nearly three years due to personal reasons.
Jason was in the 13th class of the Academy, but he graduated with the 16th class and was second in his class at the time.
Especially Jason, who had been having a lot of accidents at the academy, cannot forget the day he first met Melon.
‘Why are you here?’
Melon, who was cleaning the sewers with his bare hands and scooping out the excrement with his bare body without any mana, asked this.
‘Why did you come here, senior?’
‘Me? I don’t want to talk.’
‘Then I won’t say anything either.’
This guy is funny.
Jason muttered as he said, chuckling.
‘We fought. That unlucky guy X was relying only on his family’s power and was acting up, so I beat him up.’
‘Isn’t the Leopold family a great family? Wasn’t that a punishment for school service?’
It was only natural that something like this would come out.
In the academy, community service is considered the second most heinous punishment the academy can impose, next to expulsion.
It’s worse than suspension.
Because the on-campus volunteer work required tasks that were difficult to do with normal mental strength, such as clearing shit with bare hands.
It wasn’t the end. It was tough not only mentally but also physically. Cleaning is something you have to do.
Even the classes must be attended. Even in such a difficult situation, you must not raise your mana even by a single point.
If you are found to be recovering your body with mana or something like that, your on-campus service period will be extended immediately, and if you are caught doing this more than three times, you will be expelled without warning.
It made me wonder why they created such a punishment.
Like Melon, Jason, who had been scooping up poop with his bare hands, naturally did not want to do this school service. But what could he do?
My father told me to do it.
Marquis Leopold said that he was out of his mind and that he had simply thrown him into school service when he should have just given him a warning. He asked his father if he had overstepped his authority at the Academy’s events, but he got the same answer.
‘If you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished. You are a noble. After all, you will sit in my place and become a marquis in the distant future. Don’t think that the punishment that will be given to such a person will be the same as that of ordinary people. With great power comes responsibility. So shut up and go and take your shit.’
If I said I wasn’t upset, that would be funny in its own way. I was upset. But what can I do?

It wasn’t a wrong statement, so there was nothing I could do other than diligently scooping up shit.
Hearing that, Melon spoke in a small voice.
‘You have a good father.’
‘That’s not good at all.’
It was true that he was a good father even though he said things like this. After the conversation had progressed to this point, Jason asked Melon again.
‘Why did you come?’
The answer I heard was quite amazing.
‘I killed a person.’
‘……what?’
‘I killed the man-eating monster at Paldangsan Mountain.’
It took a moment to understand. After saying that he killed a person, he killed a man-eating beast?
Melon was describing the person he killed as a human face. Describing a person as a spider wearing human skin also meant that he had no guilt at all about his actions.
At least that’s what it seemed to Jason.
That was it.
He must have killed only one or two people. From the Academy’s perspective, if Melon had killed a truly heinous criminal, it would have been difficult to order him to be expelled, so the story naturally progressed in the direction of having him do school service and then expelling him if he couldn’t hold out.
I thought so.
Suddenly I wonder.
‘How many have you killed?’
‘I don’t know. I didn’t count.’
I burst out laughing.
‘Hey kid, this guy’s more interesting than he looks. Did he kill dozens of them?’
‘It seems like more.’
I was speechless for a moment. I thought you were joking, but why are you so serious?
‘Oh, don’t lie, Inma.’
‘Why would you lie about something like this?’
‘… … Did you really kill dozens?’
‘As I said before, I don’t know. I didn’t count. But it’s probably more than a few dozen.’
‘… … You killed hundreds of people?’
Melon, who seemed to be thinking for a moment, spoke with a serious expression.
‘It seems like more.’
I swallowed hard.
‘… … thousands?’

‘I think it’s about that much.’
The serious expression and the reason why Melon was in this sewer, and the story that I heard a while ago about a massacre that occurred during a field study period and the annihilation of all the bandits living in the mountains, flashed through my mind.
Instinct and intuition told me it was true.

‘But what are you doing instead of working? Do I have to deal with all this crap all by myself?’
‘Ah… … No, I was just about to do that… … right.’
I found out more details later.
Melon really did kill thousands of people, including men, women, children and the elderly.
It was creepy, but he wasn’t that bad.
He was bold and confident in his actions, and he was even smart.
In this way, the two people started a relationship through volunteer work on campus and stayed together almost until graduation.
The two men surprisingly got along well. Ah.
Sometimes I would hang out with Harvey Valantier too.
Speaking of Harvey, to be honest, Jason found Harvey a bit awkward.
Should I say it was annoying?
If you keep nagging me and I try to beat you up, you’ll get yelled at like this by my father, the prime minister.
Then I got hit a few times.
Harvey gnashed his teeth to tell his father, but as soon as he said those words, Melon beat Harvey to the point of almost killing him.
Come to your senses.
Don’t act like a brat.
Harvey was still young, and Melon was too mature. Jason thought as he watched Harvey finally come to his senses.
Ah, Melon, this kid is a real one.
How dare you do that to the son of the Prime Minister of Aveiro, who is the most powerful man in the world.
If you mess with a child from a normal family like that, you’ll be persecuted from all sides. There were some classmates who wanted to make Harvey’s background friendly, and they bullied Melon, but Melon beat them all up equally.
It must have been so hard for Melon to do volunteer work on campus for almost a year.
It was brave to endure and brave to not give in.
Melon was that kind of man.
Melon asks to do one thing together.
It made me laugh.
Because I thought it would be fun.
And now here comes the melon.
Jason smiled brightly as soon as he saw Melon open the door and reveal himself. He hasn’t changed. He’s still handsome and trustworthy.
I was waiting for you to contact me.
Melon is a commoner.
There are many things that are inconvenient when living as a commoner. At least Jason thought that Melon was sent to a dangerous place like the Eastern Continent because he was a commoner.
I wanted to protect you. I wanted to help you.
You can’t ignore fate.
“Hyung, do you know that I care for you a lot?”
“I have a rough idea.”

“You little brat… … Alright. I’ll cover for whatever trouble you cause on the Eastern Continent. Just call it my order.”
“I don’t want to go that far.”
Looking at the rough melon, it felt like I was back in my academy days. Memories of school days are meaningful to everyone.
Anyway, the person next to Melon was clearly Nam Jeon, the princess of the Namman Jincheon Palace.
But wait a minute.
Something is strange.
“Hey, why is there only one? Shouldn’t you have brought two?”
Melon said confidently.
“I just killed him because he wouldn’t listen to me.”
I’m speechless.
He’s still the same.
Nothing has changed.
“This crazy guy.”
* * *
The Earls of Craycastle were a fairly prominent family in the North East.
First of all, the Counts of Craycastle owned as many as six mines, and the large amount of copper, gold, and silver produced there were exported to various parts of the Milos Empire.
Even several blacksmith shops were in operation, and it was safe to say that the Crycastle-brand axe, made from black ore, had taken root throughout the northeastern region.
just.
It was a wealthy family.
It may have been natural for a child born and raised in such a family to become an avoider.
Five years is a long time. So long that I just wanted to throw it away. He said he would make it possible.
The eldest son, Ryan Crycastle, had no choice but to accept the sweet offer made by Raymond Beck, the head of the Western Continent Inspectorate’s Tian Ha Seong branch.
Of course, Raymond Beck wasn’t stupid.
I didn’t make such a suggestion to just anyone like an idiot. I made the suggestion only to those who had an environment where they could somehow deceive their ‘identity’.
In the case of Botachungung, there was a second son who had died a long time ago, and in the case of Nammanjincheonggungung, just like in the case of Botachungungung, the third son had died a long time ago, but Namjeon did not inherit it.
He simply did not want to be fully revealed to the world of martial arts, so he wore a mask, pretended to be part of the bodyguard unit, and hid in the shadows.
In Ryan Crycastle’s case, it was similar to the case of Botachungung.
There were several children in the line of the Earls of Craycastle who had passed away in accidents. They could have taken the name of one of them, but Ryan and the Earls of Craycastle thought.
Somehow I feel like that would be a bit risky.
Just in case, that’s why I hid my identity in a slightly different way.
Among the cadets of the Earl of Craycastle, there was a child named Jamie Craycastle. This child looked almost like Ryan and also had abilities.
Although he was not admitted to the Academy because he was a collateral branch, Jamie’s reputation among the collateral branches of the Earldom of Craycastle was so good that they idolized him.
The only problem for the Earl of Craycastle and Ryan was that Jamie was still alive right before Ryan accepted Beck’s offer. That was the problem.
so.
Ryan killed Jamie.

Anyway, no one knows. That’s how Ryan played Jamie. The Earl of Crycastle made Jamie, a collateral, a cattle lord, and naturally, Jamie became a hero to the collateral branches of the Earl of Crycastle.
The direct descendants were not a problem at all.
They were the ones who had to listen to their parents anyway, and Ryan didn’t have any direct siblings.
As Ryan walked through the vast garden of the Earl of Craycastle, he began to think that everything was going smoothly.
Up until this moment, things have been going really well.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
There was a loud noise and the front gate of the Earl of Craycastle was blown away. A man walked out of the dust with a grin.
The elite knights of the Earl of Crycastle and the wizards quickly began to surround the main gate.
since.
They were all left in a state of confusion.
“Oh my, these people are up to some serious trouble.”
The man who broke the door took out an identification card from his bosom. It was written clearly on it.
[Central Inspectorate, Violent Crimes Division] [Inspector General, Jason Leopold]
Jason looked around.
“I’m looking for someone… … .”
Then I made eye contact with Jamie.
“Found it.”
Jamie’s heart sank and Jason laughed.
