Academy Slave Instructor

96 – I kidnapped the child

I kidnapped the child

Rai, who was sleeping soundly, opens his eyes.

After a few hours of sleep, he recovers his energy, gets up and leaves the room.

“You make the old man work and sleep comfortably.”

“Oh, sir, are you awake?”

“No, it’s not my mom’s teacher, it’s the instructor…”

“Oh, are you awake? Would you like something to eat?”

The house where only Asran should normally be was full of people.

There are academy students receiving instruction, including Aslan, who casually gives out the bowl he used to eat, and Zeroa asked him to put his family to sleep here at the threat of the Death Knight the day before.

There are also the big Clay and Selma, and Layla is sitting still, sipping her tea and giving Rai her gaze.

Originally, I was on the polite side, but seeing Philia sitting calmly in front of Selma, I think Rai treats me that way too.

“Rye! My hair is messy!”

Zeroa’s sister Kara clings to her Rai’s back and combs her hair.

It was a spacious house for a single person to live in, but it is complicated when people gather at once.

Rai looks at Selma as she makes her way through the cramped space and sits on her sofa with Kara on her lap.

“When I returned from inspecting the alchemist’s house again, I found that you were sleeping peacefully.”

“Did you wait long? You should have woken me up.”

“I didn’t wait too long. I’m glad you didn’t notice the time passing while talking to Philly.”

As Selma looks at her with her warm eyes, Philia bows her head in congratulations.

I don’t know if it’s been a while since I’ve known her by her nickname, but for some reason I feel sorry for Rai when she’s so different from how she treats her.

“So did something happen?”

“Yes, as expected, your intuition is correct. Yesterday, I toured a laboratory that had not been investigated, and the alchemist conducted human experiments.”

No one was surprised by Selma’s plain explanation, as if they had already heard it.

“That guy died well. Human experimentation is not human.”

Athran added while babbling.

“The guards would have missed it because there were chunks of livestock carcasses, but there were at least four human blood on the floor. The latest trace is the day the alchemist was murdered.”

“You probably didn’t have time to dispose of the body. Did you run away?”

“You’ll have to figure that out now.”

“I’m not a detective.”

Rai grumbles at Selma leaving her job behind.

On the day the alchemist was murdered, there was a person in the laboratory.

The black knight killed the alchemist and left the body intact, so if he had killed the person in the lab, he would have left the same thing.

“Either he took him or he ran away and hid.”

“Okay. Then leave the rest to you and I’ll go in. I’ve worked too hard with my old body. I’ll have to rest for a few days. I’ve put the things you asked me to prepare in a box over there, so make good use of them.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to recuperate for months instead of days?”

“Not that old.”

Selma smiles at her and strokes Philia’s shoulder as she politely bows down, then gets up from her seat.

“Oh, take this. Think of it as a commission fee.”

“It’s commissioned and cheap, but eat well.”

Selma confirms the elixir Rai threw her, expresses her gratitude and leaves the house.

After throwing the elixir to help her vitality, Rai sees her Layla this time.

“Did you have a separate group of people waiting to go looking for horses? Or are you and me alone?”

“It’s you and me.”

“It’s unexpected. I thought you’d bring the guards.”

“Because he had an ulterior motive, he must have talked to me separately instead of talking about it at the meeting. I’m not such a careless person.”

So, after hearing Layla’s words, which imply that she should tell her true feelings, Rai accepts and drinks the tea that Zeroa’s mother gives her while laughing lightly.

After a carefree talk with her mother, Rai sees Layla waiting patiently for her.

“I don’t think he’s that bad.”

“Why?”

“Isn’t that kind of guy running amok in the city, and the damage is less than expected?”

Ray’s question was something that Leyla had also confirmed.

No matter how much you set up a barrier, you fought in the middle of the city with a black knight who threw a huge wave, but the damage was minimal.

When Rai and Selma were swept away by the first wave, the guards and adventurers battled to deal with the black knight, but all suffered minor or life-threatening serious injuries, but no one died.

There is only one person who is known to have been killed by the Black Knight, the Alchemist.

There is little damage to the city. Those who manage the roads will shed bloody tears, but apart from the roads, only a few buildings have been destroyed.

“It was easy to predict thanks to the fact that the wave was sent in a straight line with the road, but I ended up putting a barrier on the city for no reason.”

I set up a barrier thinking about the city, but the black knight had no intention of destroying the city from the beginning.

She did something stupid, but Rai, who fought against her, clicks her tongue, saying that she did something stupid.

“Isn’t he a good guy? He found the damn guy experimenting on the human body himself and punished him.”

Leyla slowly turns her head and glares at him as Aslan cuts in from the side.

At the gaze telling him not to intervene, Asran shuts his mouth and looks away quietly.

“Even so, the Death Knight is a threat. We have to deal with it for safety.”

“So I tried to have a conversation. At first, I was going to go alone, but I thought I would get scolded later if I did so, so I said it. Good job, right?”

At her request to praise her like a child, Leila frowns and then nods.

“What happened to the person who was in the alchemist’s laboratory?”

Leila answers Philia’s question.

“It hasn’t been confirmed. It’s difficult to confirm. If human experiments were conducted illegally, people from slums where census were not counted would have been used or they would have been smuggled in. May be.”

Philia nodded her head in understanding at Layla’s kind explanation.

Aslan is lonely in the corner at a temperature different from his own, Zeroa comforts him.

“Is there anything else we can do?”

“I’m grateful, but you guys are academy students. It’s not a wartime situation, so there’s no reason to participate. Leave this to the academy and the guards.”

“In other words, you are useless.”

At Rai’s words, Filia and Layla look at him while frowning at the same time.

“Why? It’s true. Hagwon students should study like a hagwon student.”

“Kkondae.”

“Oh, not you. Abigail, you’re on the stand-by to deal with him today.”

From noble mtl dot com

Abigail, who had muttered that she was an old woman, looked at her in surprise when Rai pointed at her.

Looking at Rai with an expression as if he didn’t know not only her, but Aslan or even Layla.

“Keep this one in. It’s a hard counter to Death Knight.”

“……Has divine power?”

Rai nods at Leila’s question.

The rest of the people look at Abigail because they didn’t know.

“This is a priest? Ah!”

After talking for nothing, Asran kicks Abigail in the calf.

Undead are weak against divine power.

However, the reason why I did not accompany the priests when dealing with the black knight was that he might be sane.

If you have the mind to judge the situation, you will be attacked first by clerics who are weak but have threatening divine power.

Since Layla had a lie, she excluded the cleric, who would cause serious casualties if she put it in, from the patrol personnel and placed her in the treatment center.

“The waiting list for this time includes one paladin of the Ketel Church.”

“The more holy power, the better. I can’t use it because I’m afraid I’ll get hit. This guy doesn’t get hit easily.”

Abigail lifts her chin and looks at Philia as if she is in a good mood at Rai’s praise.

A tendon rises on Philia’s forehead at the cheeky eyes that look like you’re below me, but she holds back and ignores it.

“It will definitely be a good fight, but with one exception, I have nothing to say to the other academy students.”

When she refuses like her naive woman, Rai smiles brightly and tells her Abigail.

“Have you heard of Abigail? Don’t you feel like looking for a unicorn tonight for some reason? I’ll tell you where I am.”

“Ha… Yes, unicorns are nice.”

“As expected, a virgin… Ah!”

Aslan intervenes again and kicks her in the calf.

She says she can’t do it because she’s an academy student, so I’m thinking of making her participate by pretending to be a coincidence.

Leila frowns at Rai, but she doesn’t object.

“You can use my room, so get a good night’s sleep. I heard there are four or five people per room right now? Oh, that’s terrible.”

The academy, which had difficulty in forcibly bringing in the academy students and preparing accommodation, is cramming the academy students into the dormitories.

There are opinions that it is good to spend the night with her close friends, but there are also many complaints.

Naturally, Abigail readily accepts Rai’s opinion as she is full of dissatisfaction.

“And don’t be fooled by the other guys. They’re the ones who didn’t die even though they were given a big magic yesterday.”

“You mean the hook of light?”

“A hook of light? I’ve heard it’s a crescent thrust.”

Take the mass of magic bullets that Rai threw and give each one a name they heard.

It was indeed an empire that liked to give useless names.

It’s the name of the magic. Anyway, after cleaning up, Lay and Layla go to find the Black Horse.

Rai rolls a small diamond-shaped top on the floor.

The spinning top gradually loses its power and stops pointing in one direction.

“This way.”

Rai, who picks up her top, steps her first, followed by Layla.

As she repeats this task and tries to orient herself, Layla asks Rai about her magic theory.

“Are you spinning the top to pull the mana around her?”

“Huh? No, I just run it because I’m bored. Why do I put such a useless function? What should I do when I’m in a hurry?”

I reasoned it out and brought it up, but Leyla kicks him in the butt as he is pissed at Lay for treating him like an idiot.

Rai, who grumbled that he was grumpy, didn’t turn it from then on, just put it on her palm and orient her.

“It’s in the sewers.”

Seeing that the top is facing her down, Rai goes down.

Last year, Rai cleaned everything, but some rats ran away when they saw Rai and Leila.

Leila, with her sword slightly pulled out with her thumb so that she can draw her weapon at any time, follows Rai through the sewers.

And then we arrive at our destination.

A light source at the end of a dark sewer.

There were simple items such as blankets and food bottles, as well as a little girl and a black horse.

The black horse, who was distracted by the sound of the whistle yesterday, but now sees Rai with clear eyes as if he is sane, stays by the child’s side and runs excitedly.

As Layla approaches, wary of her surroundings, her girl stares at her with her round eyes.

“Are you the knight sister? You look white today. You look so pretty after taking off your helmet.”

The girl smiles brightly while looking at Layla’s white armor.

Recognizing that her whiteness meant her black knight, Leyla got down on one knee and met her girl’s eyes.

“Death… Were you with the black knight?”

“Uh… Aren’t you the knight’s sister?”

“I’m a knight, but I’m not a black knight. I belong to the emperor.”

“Wow- the emperor’s knight? That’s cool.”

She is only one of a thousand knights, but the girl mistakes her for a knight guarding the emperor’s side, and her eyes twinkle.

After stroking her girl’s head, Layla asks if she is from the alchemist’s house.

“I… Didn’t do anything wrong… I didn’t do anything wrong, but her grandfather said he should be punished…”

At the mention of her alchemist, the girl stutters her words as she visibly shudders.

Reassuring her girl, Leila tells her the whole story.

A girl from the slums was trafficked and sold to an alchemist. She says the girl was raised by her grandfather, as she doesn’t seem to realize it, but Leila is convinced she’s trafficked.

The alchemist experimented with her drug by wounding her girl in the name of punishment.

Human experimentation is clearly illegal. No country permits human experimentation.

The girl was forced to become a test subject in her cellar where no light came in and no helping hand from her.

Upon discovering the gruesome scene, the black knight killed the alchemist and saved her child.

Checking her child’s clumsy bandages on her body, Layla caresses her body gently.

“The driver’s sister said that she shouldn’t be with her. She said it hurts to be with her.”

Being a Death Knight, contaminated mana flows out of her body uncontrollably.

If you think of a child, it’s obvious that you shouldn’t be together, but Leila couldn’t understand why the black knight cared so much about the child.

As Rai said, it was impossible to know unless you had a conversation.

Leila asks to go to her academy with her child in her arms.

Her eyes light up at her academy, but she refuses to wait for her knight sister. After taking care of her child, Layla convinces her knight sister with a little lie that she will see her soon. Do.

Worried about the child being hurt in this environment, even if it buys her resentment later, Layla gets up from her seat holding her girl.

The girl’s name was Sena.

“Why is that oppa fighting with black? Black is nice.”

She sees Rai kicking Black Horse’s ass, saying that she suffered because of you, and Sena asks.

Leila smiled reassuringly at the woman who gave her black horse her name, her black, and spoke in her clear voice.

“It’s because you’re an idiot. And it’s not your brother. It’s a man.”

After she kindly corrects her words, Leila strokes her Senna’s head.

She is about to leave after kicking Rai, who is still fighting Black Horse, but Rai reminds her of something and asks for her pen.

Leyla, who always carries her pen because she always writes something down, hands it over, and Rai goes to her child’s place and writes something on her blanket.

You couldn’t see Senna because she was far away, but Layla’s trained eyes could read every word of her handwriting.

I kidnapped Senna.

If you want to find it, come to the entrance of the academy in the evening.

If you don’t come, the hostage will not be safe.

– Kaido Rai

Lai, who wrote a sentence that doesn’t know which one is good, returns with a single smile.

She let out a small sigh, but Layla, who was effective in summoning the Black Knight, left the sewer together without saying anything.

* * *

The white moon illuminates the whole view of the city.

Rai, sitting comfortably at the entrance of the academy where darkness and blue moonlight coexist, looks at the other side.

“Look, I’m sure he’s riding a horse.”

All the horses in the city are quarantined in the academy, but where did you get them?

“Let’s start the second leg.”

Rai slowly stands up and smiles.
