59 – Attack

As soon as I arrived at the academy the next day, what I saw was a rather noisy classroom.

At the moment I was puzzled by the classroom being more noisy than usual.

Delia, who was usually sitting where I sit, quickly got up from her seat and approached me.

“Did you hear that?”

I am energetic from the morning.

I looked at Delia like that and shook her head, and Delia told me the reason for her fuss.

“I heard the central government announced a major reorganization.”

“Organizational reorganization?”

When I heard those words, I couldn’t hide my surprise.

There was no major personnel change, let alone organizational reorganization, within the work.

It was somewhat incomprehensible that such an incident occurred so suddenly.

‘… It seems like the Celestial God Church did something.’

Just when I was thinking, why should I reorganize the organization?

Delia looked at her surroundings and whispered to me in a low voice.

“I heard that many of the parents of students attending the academy were demoted. “That’s why everyone is in tears.”

“Really?”

“Yes, yes. Oh, and this is just a rumor, but Espin senior’s father is also… “

As Delia continued her words, someone forcefully pushed open the classroom door and called out to me.

“Dear, Dern!”

When someone checks with a familiar voice, Espin’s face, whose usual confident expression has disappeared, comes into view.

I slowly stood up while looking at that face.

Espin approaches me quickly and she shouts urgently.

“Now, talk for a moment.”

If I turn off the meaningless fuss and disappear, pointless curiosity builds up, so if possible, I wanted to take some time to meet.

Espin’s expression seemed overly urgent, so I had no choice but to nod her head countless times.

“Let’s do it.”

I answered calmly towards Espin, whose expression was down in despair, and slowly walked out of the classroom.

After leaving the classroom, we headed to the mirror in the corner of the art room where we always met, as if we had made a promise.

There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that the security there is the most thorough.

After coming inside, I slowly cried out to Espin, who still seemed to be in an unstable state of mind.

“So what’s going on?”

Espin would have maintained a cool attitude and answered normally.

He speaks urgently to me with an expression full of anxiety and nervousness.

“Because of me, my father… “Dad.”

He must have been screaming for a long time, but the lubricant had dried and he barely managed to continue speaking, making a hoarse, creaking sound.

“Lord… I might die. I, I fearlessly touched the Heavenly God Church… “

I couldn’t hide my surprise at those words.

No matter how powerful the Heavenly God Church is, it would not be possible to kill her father, a high-ranking administrator, so easily.

I couldn’t understand why it collapsed like that.

‘If Rumi had said something like that, I would have understood it to some extent.’

Her personality and position allow her to make cool-headed judgments and have access to ‘a lot of information.’

I thought it was a bit strange to make such a judgment, so I looked at him silently as if to ask him to tell me more information.

She continued her words, suppressing her shaking body as best as she could.

“Mother… After kidnapping him, she threatened to kill him if he didn’t sign the contract… “Her father had no choice but to sign the contract.”

It was an unrealistic story.

No matter how intuitively violent it may be, it is a world where power has greater power.

I didn’t understand why they threatened and brought down a high-ranking administrator who had built up power over a long period of time.

So, I first talked about some of the parts that were puzzling.

“Kidnapping? “Weren’t there any escorts?”

“There was this. Everyone was in the same boat… Except for a few knights, everyone betrayed us… “Woof.”

Just thinking about it makes him feel nauseous, and he vomits and groans in pain.

I fell into trouble as I looked down at Espin.

‘This is bolder than I imagined.’

I have no idea why they did this to clean up the mess.

I looked at Espin and spoke briefly.

“So what are the contents of the contract?”

“Now, I don’t know, but… “I only know that it was a contract that put my father’s life as collateral.”

I guess I couldn’t hear it in detail.

Well, if he told me about the details of the contract, even his daughter could get caught up in it… It seems like he’s moved in a direction where only he can endure it.

I just clicked my tongue at the current situation, which made me laugh, then looked away and spoke.

“Calm down.”

“Really… ? How to calm down in this situation… !”

“I am here, so you can calm down.”

To others, his tone seemed extremely arrogant.

For Espin, it seems like it has become a sign of trust, and it is visible that things are calming down little by little.

I spoke while looking at Espin.

“And there is no need to worry too much. “I know a suitable solution for this situation.”

“Solution… ?”

Hearing those words, I took out my mace and spoke as if it were natural.

“Just kill them all. “Every single one of you.”

In response to that answer, Espin looked at me with a blank expression.

* * *

Espin must have been diligently collecting information even while he was out of his mind, and he told me as much as he could about the information he had gathered.

I slowly organized my mind while listening to Espin’s story.

‘The fact that no action was taken even though a high-ranking administrator was attacked is likely due to the actions of those above him.’

Considering that when the human testing site was previously raided, ‘a significant number of members of the security management department’ were involved.

In addition to the roughly ordered orders from above, there was a high probability that traitors from the Public Security Management Department had resorted to something.

‘In addition, there was a sudden large-scale organizational reorganization.’

It would be correct to say that there is a high probability that the situation has continued for four months due to the confusion added to the confusion.

Even so, I spoke to Espin, thinking that I was not sure why the Espin family would sit still and not respond in any way.

“When work starts, take your parents and take refuge in Lercie Street. “If you talk to Rumi, he will guide you, so you can follow him.”

Hearing those words, Espin paused for a moment and grabbed the hem of his clothes and spoke as if squeezing them.

“… “It feels strange to say this now.”

“What is it?”

“Why are you helping me like this? … Honestly, there’s no problem if you pretend not to notice my request.”

The reason is simple.

This is because there were not many people as trustworthy as Espin.

‘In the original novel, he was one of the few who helped Rumi without any compensation. Her personality and trustworthiness are trustworthy.’

Because he has outstanding abilities, I decided that protecting him would benefit me in many ways.

However, it is too long to talk about these things.

I answered this in Dern’s way.

“There is no need to know.”

“…… “

At those words, Espin smiled awkwardly and spoke in a hushed voice.

“… Okay. “You are the answer.”

Then Espin looked at me for a moment, then she slapped her cheek and spoke to me.

“I think it would be better for me to follow along as well. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem right to put you in a dangerous place and be alone in a safe place… “

“There is no need as it will be a distraction.”

“Oh, no, I belong to the Inspection Department. “The battle rating is quite high, so it will be quite helpful, so I’ll follow along.”

“Get out.”

“…… “

Espin looked quite aggrieved by my words, but I had no intention of changing my opinion.

If you take him for no reason and there is a problem, it will be a pain in the ass.

‘Anyway, it would be better to leave now.’

Go to the location Espin told you about, and take out all the Celestial Church members.

She took her steps, determined to figure out what the raid was for.

*

The location Espin told me about was an abandoned mine near the Espin family’s mansion.

A few years ago, all the magic gemstones lying dormant in the mine were dug up, and it is now said to be a place no one visits.

I looked around the abandoned mineshaft, where all kinds of facilities were left unattended, and slowly lowered my gaze to look at the entrance to the cave.

‘It’s an abandoned mine… ‘It looks like it’s ready to be attacked.’

When I saw the entrance that clearly said ‘I’m a trap’ written on it, I let out a small smile and slowly stopped.

There was no need to crawl into the trap dug by the enemies.

‘So rather than going in.’

I decided that it would be better to smash it.

After stopping at an appropriate distance, I was about to raise my right hand when I heard a voice nearby.

“I heard a rumor that the master of the Lercier family is fearless, but I never thought he would be this fearless. Maybe it’s because I’m still young… Or maybe it’s because I’m stupid, I don’t know. “He’s a pretty interesting guy.”

A golden-haired man with a very disturbing expression can be seen snickering and coming down with his men.

It looks like they sent troops to block the abandoned mines before I invade them.

When I slightly turn my gaze toward them, a mocking provocation is thrown at me.

“So what should we do because we feel sorry for you, Master? “The contract you are looking for is on the bottom floor of the abandoned mine, but you couldn’t even enter the mine, let alone go to the bottom floor, so you ended up dying on us?”

It’s at the bottom.

You can’t take the enemy’s word for granted.

I am shaking my head because I think it would be better to take this into account to some extent as there is no information at the moment.

He continued his speech with a still mocking expression on his face.

“Are you mad that this little bastard keeps bopping his head? Let’s see if he can keep his head up even after his hands are cut off. Hey, get ready.”

Unlike the believers I’ve seen so far, I see him using an overly crude and harsh tone of voice.

It seems that they did not send proper priests within the church, but rather brought in other forces and sent them to me.

I slowly raised my mana, thinking I was doing something fun.

‘It would be a good idea to use this opportunity to properly use magic penetration.’

Thinking about how far my attack would reach in the abandoned mineshaft, I chanted the magic I had become accustomed to.

“Original explosion.”

The moment I said the name of the magic, a huge amount of mana swirled around.

In an instant, everything in all directions was pushed aside, and at the same time, an innocent yet powerful lightning strike struck the place I pointed to.

Quaaa!

Originally, the origin explosion that I used ended with the area in question being deeply dug up and the surrounding things turning into ashes.

Perhaps because I gave it magic penetration, the magic I put down passed through the dirt and went down.

Soon, everything around began to shake and collapse as if an earthquake had occurred.

“Mi, crazy!”

The man who was watching this looked at me with a shocked expression and quickly tried to run away.

Before that, I reached out and made magic happen.

He was pulled strongly toward me and his entire body fell to the ground nearby.

“Turn it off!”

I can’t hear my voice well because my head is stuck in the dirt.

I looked at him like that and smiled, thinking that he had finally become the person he deserved.
