Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

242 – Clash of Myths

After the Count’s explanation, I didn’t say anything for a while.

The sudden influx of information was so shocking that I was in a hurry to even accept it.

Two girls who look like twins, God’s Apostle, Magic Engineering, Dr. Franken…

These are all clues I got a long time ago, but who could have predicted that they would come together like this here.

At first I suspected that the Count was lying on purpose to agitate me.

But looking at it calmly, the opponent didn’t even have to go through that effort. This is because the difference in power is overwhelming enough to kill me with a single gesture.

In addition, it’s hard to believe, but it also explains why he kidnapped Sharon, who seemed unrelated. All circumstances were pointing to the fact that the Count had said the truth.

There was only one question left.

Who the hell is Franken? He is an enigmatic figure who may have been involved in all of these plates and possibly even designed the plates themselves.

While I could only guess about the rest, I still couldn’t even guess about Franken. It was also unclear what purpose he moved away from his identity.

Does the man in front of you know anything about him?

At least it was clear that he knew more than me. Seeing the shocking fact that Sharon and Juliet are beings created by magical engineering casually mentioned.

“You seem to have a lot on your mind. It’s good to be cautious, but won’t you soon tell me the answer to my suggestion? Will you bring back the glory of the past with me?”

Before I could answer, Gina, a third party who was present with me, suddenly intervened, frowning.

“What the hell are you talking about? What are you two talking about besides me?”

Considering that the conversation was interrupted, Count Guernsey did not hide his displeasure on his face.

“Come to think of it, there was no reason to let you live. It’s a pity that you cut off one of the best talents in history, but in the end, even you are just a human being who did not receive God’s blessing.”

“··· Ha. I don’t know who you are to evaluate me that way, but you talk about God and what you don’t know.”

Magic energy swayed around the girl. While even the count was genuinely admiring its rich depth and strength. The giant snake’s shape twisted wildly, and all momentum, including its skeleton, began to change.

Toduk-. Kwajijik!

It was close to evolution.

The snake’s teeth became sharper and its scales much stronger. Legs and horns sprouted, and wings protruded from the back.

The real-time transformation was bizarre at first glance, but I felt a sense of awe welling up in a corner of my heart.

Although it is imperfect, it must be because he is watching the new birth of a transcendent being through the power of magic right in front of his eyes.

After the transformation was finally over, when the dragon opened its closed eyes, the same red eyes as the girl glared at the count.

“··· Ha. hahahaha! Great! Really great!! I can’t imagine summoning a Guardian! Of course, compared to the real body, it’s just an imperfect replica, but even taking that into account, it’s an amazing talent.”

Guardian of Middle-earth and master of all magic. The supreme being that disappeared as the age of mythology ended and the age of humans began. Dragon.

It was the second time Jina summoned a dragon after the last academy test, but an incomparable overwhelming power filled the space.

At that time, the manifested dragon was only a translucent figure composed of magic without properly maintaining its substance, but the current dragon was real with material blood and flesh.

Of course, even he was only half compared to the true Guardian of Middle-earth, but the being summoned by the girl had transcendent divinity.

The Count was also busy watching the dragon with a stiff face, erasing his relaxed attitude until now.

“Keuugh…!”

The problem was Gina. No matter how much she was a genius of her generation, it was impossible to summon a being equal to her. Because of that, she seemed to be losing the initiative, getting eaten up by the dragon’s overwhelming presence, similar to last time.

The opponent did not miss such an opening.

“It is not a matter of recklessly wielding power that you cannot handle!!”

As expected, the count standing under the sunlight was by no means an easy opponent. As soon as he stretched out his hand, an even more overwhelming number of lights flew towards the defenseless girl.

aaah-!!

Immediately, the dragon let out a loud roar, and the beams of light that had been shot were tearing powerlessly and disappearing.

“As expected, this is too much. Rather good. At this moment, the opportunity to properly test the power bestowed by the sun god has come, so I will do my best.”

As a brilliant light shone on the Count from the wall of the collapsed building, wings made of light sprouted from behind his back.

The figure floating up into the sky is like an angel without fail, and I laughed out loud.

Are all the apostles of God really that strong?

I’m too shabby for that. I’ll have to seriously check this with Goddess later. For now, surviving safely is the priority.

The confrontation between the dragon and the angel that began like that was a bigger clash than any battle I had ever seen. A scene that seemed to appear only in mythology was unfolding before my eyes.

A fierce battle came and went, but the count had the slightest advantage. This is because the mansion was destroyed in the aftermath of the violent collision, and sunlight gradually shone on the two.

Unlike me, Gina didn’t immediately burn from being exposed to sunlight, but it was clear that it was adversely affected.

But I didn’t dare to step in and help them.

It was because it seemed that if Gina’s concentration was broken after simply leaving her fright and rushing in, she would soon be eaten by the dragon’s ego and go berserk like the last time.

At first, I didn’t think I could be of much help. No matter how you look at it, it would only be like a shrimp getting involved in a fight between whales without knowing anything about it.

As she was contemplating what to do, Gina shouted in a sharp voice.

“…Don’t stand there stupidly, take him and run away!”

I don’t like it, but it was the most reasonable option at this point. All I could do here was run away with all my might.

Even if I were here, it would only be a hindrance to Gina as she fights while protecting me. If that’s the case, it would be more helpful to take Sharon and leave her mansion as she said.

As soon as I finished my judgment, I picked up Sharon, who was still down, as quickly as possible and prepared to run away.

“Where! Do you want me to let you go smoothly!?”

“You’d better focus on this side.”

The Count, who sensed his senses, tried to attack us, but we passed one step ahead of him and blocked the Count’s way.

Boom! Quaang!!

The moment you leave the door leaving the bloody battle behind your back.

I ran into a group of people approaching from the other side of the hallway.

Even though everyone was wearing a mask to hide their faces, I was immediately able to figure out what their true identities were. The flag hanging on the burning Eiffel Tower that I saw in my fantasy appeared in front of my eyes as a reality.

It’s resistance. For some reason, they flocked to the count’s mansion as a group. Of course, just in time for me to run away.

As soon as they saw me coming out of the room, they immediately drew their weapons and took a hostile attitude.

However, the person who appeared to be the leader of the group at the front stretched out his arm to stop them.

“Wait a minute.”

“Branch manager…! Enemies are clear. They are the ones who stormed the Count’s mansion on the day they carried out their cause! You have to kill me right now!!”

I got quite a bit of information from the words of my subordinates.

The day to carry out the cause must mean the scenery you saw in your fantasy. Of course, I don’t know if they know the details of what the count said about reviving the age of God.

From that point of view, we are the obvious enemy who razed the mansion, which served as the stronghold of the Resistance, on the day of the operation.

But why is the captain keeping us alive?

The reason soon became apparent. The captain’s gaze was fixed on Sharon, who was carrying me.

“When I only heard about it, I couldn’t believe it. They really do look alike.”

A familiar voice. A familiar face revealed while taking off the mask.

A look so similar to Sharon that it’s hard to tell them apart at first glance. However, her slightly dark dark green eyes.

At some point, Juliet shifted her gaze from Sharon to me.

“I didn’t expect to meet again like this. Director.”

“·······.”

She already knew who I was.
