Chapter 045. trust (2)

“Sorry for sleeping. I think I just heard something.”

“Oh, no.”

The paladins bowed their heads and looked around the room for the last time before leaving.

Amy let out a sigh of relief only after confirming that they were completely gone.

“… Are you gone?”

“went.”

Right after that, Roan poked his head out of the closet.

* * *

I was about to be caught

It was a thought I had while taking out the body I had packed inside the closet.

Even a slight delay in judgment could have led to a catastrophe as soon as the intrusion occurred.

“I’m sorry for overpowering you once. I was afraid you would scream.”

“… It needs a bit more explanation than that. What kind of situation is this?”

Amy looked at me with confused eyes.

It came in the middle of the night, so it was confusing enough.

But I also need an explanation.

I don’t know what happened to have so many Paladins attached to one low-level priest.

‘Did I really receive an oracle?’

If Amy had received an oracle, this level of security would be understandable.

But if it’s not that, it only seems to be grabbing and harassing an innocent person.

“yes?”

“uh?”

“what. I heard that security is important to me, but is it already known outside?”

But Amy frowned and muttered, “Are you acting like an escort?”

“Huh?”

A reaction far from what was expected.

But soon I understood the meaning behind the words.

I hoped, but the oracle really came down.

I was shocked and slowly opened my mouth.

But Amy gave a detailed explanation as if she had misunderstood my appearance.

“that’s right. trust. He told me not to be afraid of the night.”

“!!”

“But really, why, no, how did the young master come in? It would be a big deal if I got caught… .”

Perhaps thinking I already knew everything, Amy sighed without hesitation. There was no bird to dry.

‘It was a real oracle… ?’

Its contents and timing are also significant.

Night is a word that has a great connection with me, and the day the oracle came down was the day I met Hwaran and awakened my long-lost abilities.

From the above information, I was able to infer one thing.

‘I think I’m talking about this?’

That the person the oracle pointed to was me, not Cale.

* * *

By the time dawn deepened.

“therefore.”

Amy, who rubbed her forehead with a troubled expression, sorted out the situation.

“You mean the oracle is referring to the young master?”

“yes.”

“The evidence?”

“I came here like this. At night.”

And I think there’s a good reason why the oracle went down to a low-ranking priest.

“… Iknow, right?”

Amy puts on a look of great realization at my explanation.

I explained everything to her except about possessing and being able to control blood.

The night became familiar at some point, and from then on, the body began to recover.

I’ve never heard of my father and older brother being like this, so it’s not like a family ability, it’s like a special ability that only I have.

“It was truly a miraculous manifestation that my body recovered.”

“I think so.”

At first, I wondered if I could tell her this, but now that I think about it, there was no reason to hide it from her.

After receiving an oracle anyway, subsequent oracles will also go down to her, and in the end, there will be no choice but to be involved later.

There’s only about half a year left before Cale shows up, so it’s better to reveal the secret early and get help then.

“Then what shall we do now?”

“… … .”

Whether most of the questions were resolved in God’s will, Amy solved the confusion faster than expected.

“I inform the church first… .”

“no.”

That’s a hasty judgment. Because the church is not perfectly clean.

If you think about it, it seems that the reason why Yuriel was targeted by monsters at an unexpected timing and received attention from elves was related to this.

The World Tree and some high-ranking monsters must have been able to fully sense these changes.

However, it was unclear who the cause of the change was, so he stabbed Yuriel, who was the easiest to target.

“I think it would be better to keep it a secret. for now.”

If the information is leaked, the aim will be on a different level than the one directed at Uriel.

To the monsters, trust is like a reverse.

If you hastily reveal your identity, you cannot be assured of safety even in the kingdom.

When I played, Cale also died more often in assassinations within the borders than on the battlefield.

‘I still lack strength.’

So, I’m sorry for her almost confined life, but she needed more time now.

“I’m really sorry. Could you wait half a year?”

* * *

I returned to the dormitory only late in the morning.

As I stepped inside with rather heavy steps, I saw two red eyelights on the roof.

“Why are you with me?”

“… … .”

“Are you awake?”

Noah nods.

I went out to go out as quietly as possible, but I don’t think it was a very meaningful effort.

Noah, lightly coming down from the roof, sniffs and sniffs.

Then, as if he noticed something, he narrowed his brows.

– Amy.

“… how did you know? that’s right.”

– Perfume smell.

I was surprised.

That you still remember the scent of someone you’ve only been with for a few days.

I was looking at it with a new look, but my eyes met with Noah, who was staring up this way.

“why. curious?”

As a result, the little head moves up and down. Noah was also waiting for a letter, so it is curious.

If I knew how to wait without sleep, I would just think of going together for a while.

I had an idea that came to my mind.

“Can you go alone?”

“?”

“I’ll tell you how to get there later, so would you like to go alone?”

Noah’s stealth ability is different from mine, so if you know the secret passage, you can easily hide.

And although the period they spent together was only a few days, considering that Amy felt sorry for her before she left, the level of intimacy seems sufficient.

‘Even Amy would be bored if she lived locked up for six months.’

I think it would be nice to send it to be used as a messenger and companion from time to time.

“how is it?”

* * *

From the beginning, I went to class with the intention of missing a day, so the next day I woke up late in the afternoon and rested.

Instead, Rick came by at the end of the afternoon class.

“What.”

“Didn’t I want to come too?”

Since he is such an unexpected person, when I asked him, he held out a piece of paper with an expressionless expression.

“It’s a delivery matter.”

“huh?”

“Final evaluation tomorrow.”

I just threw that away and left.

When I opened it, the opponent and the order of tomorrow’s fight were written on it.

‘Has it already passed like this?’

With this, all tests are over.

My opponent tomorrow was an upper-middle class cadet.

The level is high, but not enough to be my opponent.

so the next day.

I didn’t prepare much, but as expected, I won Dalian.

“Uh, huh!?”

The sparring was also so one-sided that the opponent’s sword couldn’t even grazed my collar.

It is no different from showing that the difference in basic skills is overwhelming.

“… Lose, lost.”

When I was resting after such a leisurely sparring.

The instructor, who had been watching this side for a long time, approached and said.

“Roan. Follow me for a while.”

“yes.”

Not just one, but all the instructors (even the other class instructors) were watching.

Therefore, I fully expected that he would be called after the sparring, so I immediately followed.

“Is it bad?”

I walked over and asked.

The instructor stopped walking for a moment, thought, and answered.

“It could be that for some people.”

“… ??”

It was an incomprehensible word.

And the meaning could be understood from the instructor’s words after arriving at the office.

“Roan. If given the chance, would you consider taking the advanced class exam?”

“… !!”

From noble mtl dot com

The instructor’s explanation continued.

2-dan promotion straight to the advanced class without going through the intermediate class.

If you are an overly brilliant cadet, there are cases where you take the promotion test even in the middle of the semester, but there is no precedent for going over two levels at once.

However, in my case, I grew up exceptionally fast, and it is said that this opinion came out because the expectation that this growth rate will continue in the future is dominant.

I wondered how he could be sure of that, but it soon became clear why.

‘Because it’s Karziel.’

Rather, the instructors who graduated Ian might think that I look more natural now.

“After seeing the Dalian a while ago, all the instructors agreed to the promotion to heresy.”

The situation where only my decision is left whether to take the test or not.

I accepted without hesitation.

“I’ll do it.”

“There may be a backlash.”

Just as suspicions arose after the survival evaluation that he took with Uriel last time, it could be noisy this time too.

Because the cadets in the intermediate class might feel unfair.

“Would you still do it?”

“… … .”

After thinking for a moment, he replied.

Why did the instructors not know that fact in the first place, but if you think about why they brought up this proposal, it was a simple problem.

“Then, like last time, I will put my skills to sleep.”

That I’m good enough to be in the senior class.

No, it’s a matter of proving that you need to listen.

“Please hold me. I will take care of it.”

If necessary, I would prove it against all the cadets in the intermediate class.

A soft line was drawn at the corner of the instructor’s mouth at that calm reply.

He said.

“Good. I just have an empty schedule for next week.”

* * *

After an interview with the instructor.

News of my unprecedented elevation to heresy spread quickly.

Even cadets from other departments were aware of how devastating it was.

“Is there a problem?”

“… … .”

After thinking about it for a while, I answered the question of a student from the Department of Theology who I met by chance when I participated in the last academic conference.

“It’s more of a complaint than a problem.”

“dissatisfaction?”

The cadets in the lower and upper classes did not react much, but as expected, the resistance from the cadets in the intermediate class was enormous.

There were 17 Dalian requests that came in front of me in one day.

Besides, there is still time left until the promotion test, so it will increase even more.

‘It doesn’t matter if I ignore it, though.’

It was already decided by the instructors, so there is no problem ignoring it.

But I accepted all these requests.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

“does not matter.”

Rather good.

In order not to get upset later, you have to make sure you do it right at the beginning.

When three days passed like that.

A detailed outline of the promotion test has been announced.

‘I think Fay will go up with Dante for now.’

Originally, Fay was dangerous.

However, they said it was possible because one seat was vacant because I had to move on to the advanced class promotion test.

‘My opponent is… .’

The moment I checked my opponents, I burst into laughter without knowing it.

Seeing that, Dante shook his head, saying, “Isn’t this funny?”

“Are you laughing? It’s this psycho.”

“Then why don’t you laugh?”

45 out of 70 cadets in the intermediate class, and one cadet from the upper class.

A total of 46 people were assigned to my opponent.

I expected it to be a lot, but I never imagined it would be this many.

Then Dante smiled and said.

“But I do understand.”

“huh?”

“They lie. I’ll know roughly.”

It’s true that I showed a good figure in the sparring with Ian, but some time has passed since then, and decisively.

“Because they haven’t met yet.”

Seeing it and experiencing it in person is a completely different matter.
