Episode 169. Fog that removes light (3)
Mental Breakdown is a terrifying magic that infiltrates a vast amount of magical energy into the opponent’s mind and completely subjugates it.
However, on the other hand, if the opponent counters with a force corresponding to the magic power, it is not that difficult to defeat it.
Although it went far beyond what was expected, Regens was able to use this magic to infiltrate Lunav’s mind and obtain a full confession about Xian.
I certainly thought there were no problems in the process, but
The bitter pain that was currently constricting Regens’ head was denying this.
“Are you having a harder time than you think? I guess age can’t be helped. If it had been my grandfather in the past, he would have dismissed this right away, saying it was no big deal… … .”
When I heard a familiar voice and turned my head, Regens’ face, struggling with pain, crumpled even more.
“Lu, Lunav. How are you… … ?”
Her granddaughter Lunav appeared.
“It doesn’t matter how you got there. What matters is why you came. “Isn’t this a situation that my grandfather, who always valued results over process, would fully understand?”
Despite Regens’ angry question, she continued speaking in her usual indifferent tone.
Behind her, Lamela and other members of the academy were deeply troubled about how to take responsibility for this situation.
“What have you done to me?”
“While my grandfather was infiltrating my mind with magic, I also placed a mental breakdown spell on his head. “It’s not a magic that induces a confession to Senior Xian like I did, but a magic that causes strong side effects when something comes to mind.”
The magic she just described was something that even Regens had never heard of, and could not be found anywhere on this continent.
“The principle is simple. It adds a little bit of covenant magic to the existing mental breakdown magic. “This is the magic I prepared in case your grandfather came to visit me. Did you like it?”
I liked it and it wasn’t something to discuss about myself.
After all, doesn’t that mean she knew from the beginning to the end that things would go on like this?
Regens’s teeth ground apart as he finally encountered the true face of his granddaughter.
“You asked if I could use my strength for the academy, right? Rejoice! Because from today onwards, I have decided to put all my energy into the academy. So, for the sake of our Garam Society… … .”
Lunav’s gaze secretly turned to Sian.
“Please send the senior away.”
Sian was looking at her with ambiguous eyes that were neither very nice nor particularly unpleasant.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Lunav! That boy is a talent who will lead the future of our society together with you! If you really want to help the society, help me save that boy… … .”
“I thought you would say that. “Still, I did ask once out of moral order, and that was it.”
Without any delay, Lunav immediately manifested mana from her hands.
“… … !”
Then, a bright light appeared at Regens’ feet, and soon a blue magic circle was created around it.
It was another blockade created by her alone, not by several members of the academy.
“Do you really think you can trap me with something like this?”
“Of course not. I’m just delaying time. “You’re probably going to have to think a lot to figure it out.”
In fact, if you hold on for a long time, it will only last for a few minutes,
That was enough for Lunav.
By the time I had my last conversation with Sian.
“Why did you come?”
Sian asked her first.
“Do I really need to explain? I think I’ve said this several times already. I am a person whose life was saved by a senior. It is natural for me to come to the aid of a senior who is in danger. Not just now, but also in the future… … .”
A consistent answer that has not changed since our first meeting.
At this, Sian made a strange expression, neither smiling nor angry.
“I guess you don’t just hate it? “It’s a lot different from when I first felt like it was annoying.”
“… … .”
“My feelings haven’t changed. It doesn’t matter who the senior is or what he did. My senior was just a savior who brought me out of the abyss of despair. “That one is enough for me.”
With a firm heart that would never change, Runab gently held Xian’s hand.
“When you first hugged me, you were just cold, but now I feel some warmth.”
He seemed to gently caress Xian’s hand, then suddenly hugged her.
Sian, who seemed to have gotten used to her bold skinship by now, didn’t really react.
“I don’t know when the next time will be, but then it won’t end like this.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“If I accept it in a cheerful manner, will it be worth it?”
Couldn’t time just stop like this?
It would be nice if the two of us could just be together, no matter if there was a lightning strike or a blizzard or it was freezing.
However, for Xian’s sake and for her own sake, she had to let go of the hands she was embracing.
“Bye. senior.”
With those words, Runab let go of Xian’s body.
As if she didn’t want to have any regrets, she turned around first, and Xian also passed by her with no regrets.
“thanks.”
“… … !”
He didn’t turn his head away because he was embarrassed by what he said, but that alone was already enough for Lunav.
Trying to suppress her frantically beating heart, her eyes turned to Regens again.
“How foolish. Lunav.”
If you endured it for a long time, you would have endured it.
Still, it lasted much longer than expected.
“Do you really think that your current actions are for the good of the Garam Society? “You are now doing something you will greatly regret!”
Despite Regens’ yelling, she didn’t even flinch an eyebrow.
“I don’t think it’s wrong. Actually, I’m still thinking about it quite a bit. Should I go catch my senior again or not… … .”
However, Xian had already left the place with his attendants.
Since she had no intention of letting Regens go just because the blockade was broken, Lunav once again drew out all the mana in her body.

“I guess I know what’s going on in the world, but I don’t know. “I never dreamed that this day would come to me.”
“What are you saying?”
“Please keep your eyes peeled from now on and take a close look at how far the future of the society that my grandfather so desperately wanted has grown.”
Behind her, elements of five different colors were emitting a brilliant light.
* * *
“Are you going to report that now and say it in front of me?”
Ruinel, who could not control his anger, finally grabbed the knight by the collar and shouted.
“It’s not like we’re dealing with a million-strong army, it’s just one little kid! But what? All of the imperial army’s knights were defeated? “It looks like you’re trying to make a joke in front of me, but will you really come to your senses if your stupid head is split in two and hung in front of the castle gate?”
He had already lost his senses and had no dignity left as a prince.
It is said that the advance team sent to catch one thirteen-year-old boy was all destroyed without even trying, but who would believe that to be true?
Perhaps maintaining one’s senses itself might be impossible.
“Fix it, Prince! First, you need to calm down and see the reality! Now not only us, but even Regens Rainriver, the head of the Garam Society, has come here and is targeting that boy!”
“Garam Society?”
It was the first time the prince had heard this story.
“Why are those obnoxious bastards here? No. Maybe it could be a good opportunity. Not only did he come to the empire on his own, but he also abused magic without permission? “If we use it well, we can really capture the pods from the Garam Kingdom.”
Ruinel’s expression quickly changed 180 degrees.
“Right now, mobilize all the troops in this area and send them to where he is! I take full responsibility! Not only Sian Berth, but all the wizards of the Garam Society… … !”
“Do it in moderation, Ruinel!”
Everyone, including Ruinel, turned their heads at the loud shout that sounded like a thunderbolt.
Kundel Küsel, the academy’s president, is glaring at him with sharply forged eyes.
Behind them, there were a large number of guardian knights from the Academy.
“Even if you can’t understand the situation, there are degrees! Are you planning to destroy the imperial army that you brought with you?”
Even though it was a public position to carry out an operation, Kundel continued to verbally abuse the prince.
However, as if overwhelmed by such storm-like momentum, no one came forward to stop it.
Ruinel was also sweating in embarrassment.
“As the prince of the empire, what is the problem with catching criminals who have corrupted the country? This much is necessary to catch the Garam Society gangsters who suddenly appeared… … .”
While he was talking back and forth, his eyes suddenly turned to Kundel’s back.
When I saw a familiar face, I immediately frowned.
“Why did you bring that bitch here?”
It was Arin, his younger sister and Xian’s former fiancée.
“You’re my ex-fiancé, so are you planning on asking me to be your emotional partner? “I’m so disappointed that it’s a plan that came from my grandfather’s head, isn’t it?”
“It’s better than your bowl, which can’t even catch a mouse with a cow’s feet.”
Without showing the slightest sign of wavering, Kundel took out a letter from his pocket and showed it.
“… … !”
It was another order with the emperor’s seal.
“As of this moment, our academy is also participating in catching Sian Wert. Just like you, I have come here on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, so if you have any intention of rebelling against my work, you should do so. Ruinel.”
Faced with something unexpected, Ruinel was unable to say anything.
“If you are truly a prince who cares about the imperial family and the empire, then throw away all the irrelevant thoughts you have in your head. That’s probably the best thing you can do in this situation… … .”
With a warning rather than a last piece of advice, Kundel passed by him without any regrets.
Arin and other academy members followed, and Ruinel, who was left alone, laughed into the air with blank eyes.
“under! haha! ha ha ha!”
Eshel, who was secretly watching this from afar,
“… … .”
He showed a meaningful smile and left the place.
* * *
“Why are you doing this?”
Arin, who had been following silently one step behind, suddenly opened her mouth and asked.
“What do you mean?”
“The order I showed to Brother Ruinel… . “It wasn’t sent by Abama, right?”
“You have a good eye for attention.”
Tampering with the emperor’s orders is a serious crime, no different from impersonating the emperor.
Even though he was a former father-in-law who was respected by the emperor, punishment was inevitable if the truth became known.
However, Kundel continued speaking with a faint smile as if it was no big deal.
“People are words. As we get older, we often feel the futility of life and anxiety at the same time. “Everything around you seems impermanent, but when something happens, it becomes very urgent.”
As Arin, who was just at the beginning of her life, it was a feeling that would be difficult to understand.
“I have met many people throughout my life, but there is probably no one who has gotten on my nerves as much as he has. So he wants to check it out as quickly as possible. Before he faces the moment of death that may come… … .”
Looking at his solemn yet solemn eyes, Arin felt an uneasy feeling for some reason.
Now we have reached a point where there is no turning back.
What did you come here for?
Arin quickly shook her head as her complicated feelings began to well up.
In the end, all of this is your choice.
Then you just have to stand tall and face the consequences.
So that you can be confident in yourself, not in others.
-Hwiiing
At the end of the road where the miserable wind blows.
The owner of the commotion they had been waiting for so long began to appear.
