Episode 76. Departure.
I spoke with Veratir before returning to Ruines Academy.
‘No one knows why the academy director, Dyrgov, and the alchemy instructor, Philip, have gone missing.’
However, since he found a clue to find them, Veratis tells him to follow it to find them.
“If we explain it this way, no one will doubt us.”
Not only are there few people who accurately understand what happened last night, but it is said that none of the instructors have reported this incident. If you just embellish what the three idiot brothers experienced, it won’t be difficult to cover up the incident.
Veratis nodded after hearing all the explanations.
“Then can I follow you to the Legion?”
“No, you will have to stay here and take over as the academy director temporarily.”
“The head of the academy? I?”
“yes.”
“why?”
I answered him while looking at the lake where Dirgov fell into.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to fight with my father?”
“… that’s right.”
“And he tried to use Ruines Academy to justify his war.”
Veratis scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“That’s also true.”
“Then you can think of it as going as originally planned. “What you tried to do by using Dyrgov to hit Strange, you are doing it yourself.”
This way, if something goes wrong in the future, you can pass the blame on to him.
As he has been preparing for a long time, the probability of success in the operation will be much higher.
‘furthermore.’
Even if something goes wrong and the fact that he joined hands with me becomes known to others, no one will believe him, so no matter what happens, isn’t this a good opportunity for me?
“I get it.”
“Only if you want to obtain the authority of temporary academy director. As I said a moment ago, you must personally go to all the instructors and explain the incident.”
“That’s it, why don’t we just call a meeting and tell everyone!”
“It’s not difficult, right?”
“If this is difficult, I should die.”
Veratis chuckled and gave me an arm around his shoulder.
“Anyway, aren’t you curious about whether Philip is dead or alive?”
How can you not be curious?
Not only did I know Philip’s whereabouts, but what was the giant monkey I saw? And who did he join hands with to do something like this? If Katarina is involved in what happened here, then what is it for?
There were more than one or two questions.
“Why aren’t you saying anything like a dumb person? “Don’t you want to know where Philip went?”
Judging by the fact that it says where it went, it appears to be alive.
“Are you going to tell me?”
“If you think of it as the price of your life, there’s nothing you can’t do. Where should I start talking about this? . ah! “I guess you can tell me after you deal with that monkey.”
“Didn’t we meet before?”
“Philip? of course! “Why would I ever meet a bastard who only studies all the time?”
In the first place, they didn’t hold hands and move.
“Do you remember what I said to Philip in the lab? “I told you to go back to your room and rest because I would take care of things.”
“I remember.”
“At that time, not long after you passed away. “Phillip suddenly came out from behind his closet?”
“In the lab closet?”
“Oh, right.”
So, since Johnny was the only one in the room, why didn’t I feel his energy this time?
It is definitely not my ability that is lacking. If that’s the case, it means that this guy’s skill at hiding his skills is as good as that of an assassin.
“Please keep talking. “What did you do when you met Philip?”
“How did you do it? That’s simple. I hit her on the head with this fist. “What on earth is this instructor doing?”
“… … .”
“You know that monkey I saw in his lab. He said that was an experiment he was researching. I didn’t know much about that so I just said I knew. I killed him anyway, so… .”
“No, Veratis. What I want to know is his whereabouts. Is he alive now? “If he’s alive, where is he?”
Veratis frowned and answered.
“Don’t interrupt and listen until the end! “Then you will know. Why are you so impatient?”
I motioned to him, pretending to place a lock over my lips.
“Ha- Indeed! Now, tell me again. that… . How much did you say? ah! After the monkey disappeared, Philip came out from behind the closet. “He said he would give me a nice drink if I kept this a secret, so I told him I knew.”
I sighed without realizing it.
Why is everyone who comes in contact with me so stupid? Although it seems smart, there is one place that is empty. Of course, no one is perfect except God, but isn’t this really too much to do?
“So.”
“So I said I knew! “After that, he brought me a drink from his lab and left, saying goodbye because he was leaving the academy and not coming back.”
“Then what is that arm you showed me?”
“Oh, that. That’s the arm of the elf that Philip used as an experiment. I kept it because I was bored and wrote it at the right time. I didn’t mean to deceive you from the beginning, but somehow things just came together. I also took care of other parts besides my arms. Shall I show you? “I also have a lower body.”
Siegfried answered instead.
-Yes, I miss you!
I looked arrogant and waved my hands.
“no.”
“okay? “It’s a shame.”
First of all, I had a rough understanding of what happened within the academy.

This incident occurred under Philip’s supervision, and the person behind him is targeting someone with the name ‘Strange’. The target included not only me but my three brothers.
‘Katarina is not the one behind it.’
I concluded that.
‘and.’
Philip’s statement that the monkey was an experiment is clearly a lie meant to cover up.
It’s probably an ability created by the person behind him, so if we investigate it, we can easily figure out why they were targeting us.
‘done.’
This is all I can do at the academy.
Now let’s return to the Legion.
Because today is the day I have to go there.
I raised my head and looked at the sky.
Between the sun high above our heads, the darkness was slowly creeping up, bringing with it darkness.
“Veratis, it’s a week.”
* * *
Ssaaaaaa-
An island where endless thunder and storms pour down.
Qarring!
A huge ship appeared through the darkness and anchored on the beach.
bang.
“… “We must get Lois’ head before dawn.”
The black-haired old man raised his brush above his head.
Hundreds of animals jumped off the ship.
Doo doo doo doo.
Rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig.
These people were not simple animals, but walked on two feet like beastmen. The form of the weapon was also no different from that of a human.
“Did you give me some strength today?”
Freddie, his body covered in bandages, stood next to the black-haired old man.
“If you fail, you die. “You only get one chance, and you have to fight with all your might, not just your strength.”
“Is Lois that strong? No, I asked the wrong question. “It’s natural that you’re strong, but are you strong enough to take on all of us by yourself?”
“It is strong enough to kill everyone with a single blow. “Of course, if he can demonstrate his original power.”
“haha… Well, I understand why you’re so scared. Still, wouldn’t it make sense to kill all three of us in one blow? “Don’t overestimate your enemy before you fight.”
The black-haired old man snorted.
“Overrated? haha… You will soon find out whether what I say is true or not. “No matter how sick he is, he has a level of power that is different from ours.”
“Another level of power?”
“You’ll probably be surprised when you see it in person. “When I first met him, he couldn’t close his mouth.”
“… “What on earth are you talking about?”
Bonnie, who was quiet between the two, performed ventriloquism with a doll held in both hands.
“I am a cowardly old man! “Lois is shaking his leg because he’s scared!”
“I am a fearless half-asshole! “You’re underestimating your partner even though you’ve never met them!”
The black-haired old man and Freddie glared at her at the same time.
What I meant was conveyed without me having to say anything.
If I wasn’t on a mission, bad words I’ve never heard in my life would have been poured out.
Bonnie once again ventriloquized the two dolls.
“I’m ready, so let’s get started.”
“Why are you taking your time when you say you have to hurry?”
The black-haired old man nodded his head in approval, pointed to a tall castle beyond the forest, and shouted to the animal soldiers.
“Advance!”
The animal soldiers repeated their names.
“Advance!”
“Get sick of it!!”
Then, loud cheers echoed across the island.
-Uuuuuu!
Hundreds of soldiers sprinted towards the castle at the same time.
Doo doo doo doo!!!
Tonight, Strange’s matriarch, Lois, is decapitated.
With the sole intention of making this happen, four Omangsung risked their lives and gathered at the tower.
An unnamed black-haired old man, Freddy, the frontier count with bandages wrapped around his body, and Bonnie, who holds a girl-shaped doll in both hands.
And finally, a blonde woman wearing a black nun’s uniform.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“… Are you starting?”
Saint Joanna Arc.
She escaped from the Pope’s dungeon by the apostle Baphomet and joined the pentagram as the last person.
“Meet Saint Joanna Arc!”
“Meet Saint Joanna Arc!”
The knights on deck repeated their names.
Not only that, the black-haired old man, Freddie, and Bonnie simultaneously turned in her direction and got down on one knee.
thud.
This is an action that shows that even if it is the same pentagram, there is an up and down.
“Everyone, please stand up. “I am also a person who has escaped the flow of cause and effect, just like you.”
* * *
Sometimes people who deviate from the flow of cause and effect appear in the world.
It is not known where they were born and raised.
However, it always appeared in history in the same cycle.
Today is the birthday of someone who is recorded in the charts of history.
Of course, there is only one person on the continent who knows this fact.
Because every single one of those who saw the record died.
Easy profit-
The sun turned black.
Darkness fell over the entire continent.
It is so dark that it is difficult to see even an inch ahead.
I can’t feel anything, as if my five senses are paralyzed.
As if time had stopped, everyone stopped moving and waited for the light.
Eventually, the darkness that covered the continent passed and bright light came down.
“… Is this what Verdin said?”
Rox found an egg as big as his body in front of the tower.
