The Paladin Owns the Relic

249 – Field trip (2)

I drink black tea. What you feel on the tip of your tongue is the cheap taste.

It is lowness itself. Armoni, the professor who came as the representative of the faculty council, frowned.

“…Things that are lowly as expected.”

Because he was born in a humble state, even if he earns money, he doesn’t know how to use it properly.

Formality and proof.

Of course it is good to be frugal. However, the food that fits the seat is fixed.

Professor Frederick.

He should at least have adequate food prepared for the arrival of high-ranking guests.

How to find out the true value of a person from the way he treats him.

There is no such thing as etiquette. From the moment you force others to be frugal, that person’s value has already fallen to the floor.

How can a person who can’t keep one basic thing be highly evaluated? What do you expect from someone who doesn’t even know how to meet eye level?

Armoni organized his thoughts on Frederick.

A person who is so preoccupied with what is right in front of him that he cannot see the distant future.

“……”

Time passes. Armoni quietly put the tea down. He paid no attention to cheap sweets.

He closed his eyes and thought.

Teacher Vincent.

What should I say first when he comes?

The thought eventually came to an end. Armoni decided what to say. He sat back and waited quietly, waiting for the door to open.

The sound of footsteps coming from far away. In the midst of two regular sounds, Armoni calmed down.

The door is open. A man who had already been identified by a photograph entered the room. Frederick immediately shut the closed door outside.

In a room where only the two of them are left. The first to break the silence was the man in front of him.

“Professor Armoni.”

“Teacher Vincent.”

Armoni crossed his legs proudly.

“Are you still lacking?”

Of course. Sitting down

Flicking lightly through her red hair.

I sat with his chin up and looked down at him.

“It means that you haven’t been hurt yet. Assistant Vincent.”

“… Ha.”

Vincent’s eyebrows twitched at the declaration of war.

. . .

“You hardly drink black tea.”

“It didn’t suit my taste.”

“Still, isn’t the person who came here sincere?”

“I couldn’t reach out because I wasn’t sincere.”

Professor Armoni.

Eight lectures alone. She is a woman capable enough to handle that many numbers.

However, just because she has abilities doesn’t have anything to do with personality. Armoni raised the tip of her chin, which was already high.

If you do that, you won’t be able to see what you see.

“Let me ask you again. Assistant Vincent. Are you still not satisfied?”

“Yes. Sure.”

From noble mtl dot com

I sat down. He threw a cookie into his mouth.

“The things you do are childish. Instead of being satisfied, you just throw away your appetite.”

“…That’s right?”

Armoni put her hair in her hand and twirled it.

“Are the preparations for the 1st exam going well?”

“Of course. They are all growing rapidly.”

“What are you teaching with no major?”

“How to fight, how to protect one’s life.”

“A person who seems like he can’t even save his own life… is kind of funny.”

The way he speaks is impertinent. The snarky words are full of rudeness.

But I tried to laugh. Anyway, even that high nose will be destroyed after the first test.

I am patient. Your pride, I’ll protect you just this once. It’ll break in a little bit anyway.

“So what? What are you talking about, but you moved your busy steps all the way here?”

“I’m here to see if your heart is broken.”

“Then you went in vain. I have no intention of giving up my lectures.”

“I don’t know why you are so obsessed with a lecture that barely fills the minimum number of participants…”

Armoni put his hand on his cheek.

“You can’t pass the standard of the first test anyway. The inspectors sent by the Faculty Council will supervise your examination very strictly. I hope you know that the lecture will be forcibly closed if the students do not show their skills that match the ‘average’ level of the academy, as well as the test level. Of course, you will have to take responsibility for that.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“Of course there are still more.”

Armoni looked around the lab.

“What is your relationship with the guest lecturer outside of Tsubaki?”

Tsubaki?

Explosive Maniac Tsubaki…Are you referring to my apostle?

“Why does that name appear here?”

“Do we look stupid?”

Armoni stood up. She moved slowly around the room.

“She met her often?”

“Was she even looking at that sullenly?”

“It just comes into her ears. We have a lot of eyes. There is nothing unknown inside the academy.”

“I don’t think a person who takes the lead in bullying or bullying through his children is not going to say anything grandiose.”

“If you want to argue, I will accept it anytime. But not now. The story we were sharing remains, right? Assistant Vincent. What is your relationship with the guest lecturer outside Tsubaki?”

“What kind of relationship? Just friends…”

“Just friends?”

Armoni cut her off. Her eyes shone sharply.

“With all of her career, how could you, who is the only martial arts instructor in her country, be friends with her?”

“…….”

Alas.

“…We only met by chance?”

“Tsubaki. Her thing about her has been researched before. She is a shrine maiden who suddenly appeared on the continent two years ago. But the previous story is cut off. It seemed that someone had intentionally deleted the records.”

“……”

“Identity laundering is impossible unless you are a high-ranking aristocrat. Well, good She didn’t dig deep. After all, he is not an official academy professor, but an outside guest lecturer. Because I am just a sidekick who will pass by, with few rights.”

Armoni hit the desk with a bang. She raised her purple eyes and glared at me.

“The important thing is you. A person who came in as a teaching assistant and obtained the right to open a lecture without difficulty without having to get the signatures of the three professors. I don’t know how you got the title of teaching assistant, but now you’re teaching assistant Vincent, who even challenges the authority of a professor.”

“You can just skip it.”

“I am suspicious of you. Who the hell is hiding behind you? Why was he able to establish a relationship with Professor Frederick, who lived only inside the Magic Tower, and obtain a valuable assistant position? How did you connect with Instructor Tsubaki?”

Armoni took a break.

“Maybe…”

Smiles.

“Are you close with the person behind Instructor Tsubaki?”

Uh.

I think I misunderstood something in the middle.

“That’s…”

“Good. If you don’t want to answer, you can keep your mouth shut.”

“No…”

“I am not an idiot. The moment I had doubts, I dug deeper into all the information. Intentional concealment of information. A person I don’t know. An assistant to Professor Frederick, who is famous for being a loner even within the Magic Tower. Acquaintance with an outside guest lecturer without foundation. Even the signatures obtained were taken into account that there were two high-ranking knights shouting neutrality at the faculty council. And your reaction now makes everything clear.”

Professor Armoni pointed at me as if the whole truth had been revealed.

“A person who falls in love with the professors who raised their hands on the side of the Crown Prince. A person related to Count Ashwal Haltz, whom Instructor Tsubaki once contacted. In other words…!”

You can’t believe I’m the Twilight Master…?!

“He must be an aide to the 3rd princess!”

“…Yes?”

What are you talking about?

“Isn’t it…?”

“Yes. Would deny it. But i know The reason why you came inside is to create support for the 3 princesses inside the academy, right?”

“Uh…”

“Duke Valentina must be behind you. A duchess, the only one among the four dukes who sided with the 3 princesses… A great aristocrat who is also called Marquis.”

“No…”

“Looking at the reaction, it is correct. That grumpy face. Are you surprised that I saw through all the truth? That’s right. I am Armoni. One of the nine colors called the best wizards in the empire.”

Armoni smiled in repentance. I scratched his head not knowing what to say.

How do you refute this…?

“Well, you probably want to deny it. But I won’t let it happen.”

“Hey…”

“Your plan is all over. There is no support base you can build here. The person who will become the emperor has already been decided, and there will be no chance to change that in the future.”

Armoni glared at me.

“And even if you don’t interfere with me in the first place, it’s next to impossible to gather support here. We’re not stupid. Assistant Vincent. 3 The princess has no justification, power, or power…Nothing exists. Anyone with a sane mind will not take the side of the third princess.”

No, so…

What I tried to turn to the third princess was not the faculty, but the parents of the students.

If you look closely, she’s not even the third princess. Doesn’t he even know where I am?

“Please tell me…”

“You make excuses to the end. Well, do whatever you like. Now that I see through all of your plans, you will be nowhere to be found here.”

Armoni turned around.

“Try your best. 3 The princess’s aide. Neither your disciples nor you will be able to break through our test. All you have left is to leave this place.”

The door is open. She looked back at me one last time.

“You are a failure. As an educator and as an aide to the 3rd princess.”

Like a storm, Armoni poured out her own words until the end and disappeared.

Professor Frederick hurriedly jumped behind Armoni, who had left without permission.

“All, you…! 3 Were you an aide to the princess?!”

Can’t that be?

. . .

I glanced at the students. After staring silently for a while, Raven Fear opened his mouth.

“Teacher. Can we start basic physical training as always?”

“No. Wait.”

“Yes.”

The situation was sorted out.

Currently, the two bloodlines of the emperor are fighting over the imperial authority.

The Crown Prince and the 3 Princesses.

The rest are all dead. Only two remained, and the remaining two tried to kill each other.

We don’t fight openly in front, but behind the scenes we’re enemies enough to constantly send assassins to each other…

No.

To put it nicely, it’s an enemy. It’s more accurate to say that the three princesses are being beaten one-sidedly.

Three of the four dukes were on the side of the crown prince, and the crown prince was overwhelmingly ahead of the cause and power. 3 The only power the princess had was a few nobles and a duke.

The outcome was obvious to anyone. However, the reason why the crown prince was still unable to inherit the throne was because the emperor, albeit feebly, was maintaining his life.

The current emperor who lives longer than expected. Because of that, the right of succession to the throne was stagnant.

Of course, I didn’t care which side took the throne. However…

The problem was that the crown prince was currently dating Mercedes.

“……”

It’s a f*cking empire. However, what would happen if a person who had a relationship with destruction itself ascended to the throne?

Everything will be messed up. It’s obvious if you don’t look. Maybe something unexpected happened and things got out of control.

That doesn’t work. It should be blocked. So, using the excuse of coming to the academy as an excuse, I tried to give some strength to the third princess…

Things took a strange turn. Professor Armoni went back with a misunderstanding. Perhaps rumors will spread strangely, and I will be packaged as if I am from the side of the 3 princesses.

Things got a little complicated – beyond.

“…It’s dizzy.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It means that the upcoming exam will be tougher.”

Once I misunderstood, it was clear that the test would be more difficult than I expected. The condition of ‘average’ that the examiner says will also require something ridiculous.

If you are a one-sided student, you will have to take an exam with a level of difficulty that you will never be able to break. They will ask for test contents that presuppose the impossibility.

It was a natural thing for her to be a perfect partner with her crown prince. 3 Since I was misunderstood as an aide to the princess, it was clear that he would try to get me out of here somehow.

But I had to be here. 3 Aside from strengthening the power of the princess, there were other things to do inside the academy.

My job is to persevere with evil and evil in order to get closer to the real goal, ‘that’.

And then…

I didn’t like the way he looked down at me all the time.

Who makes fun of who?

“I have decided.”

I broke off a twig.

“From today…”

I looked down at the students.

“Don’t even think about everything. Got it?”

If the premise is an unpassable test…

I just need to modify it to be able to pass through these guys.

“Let’s get a ticket to go out and go on a field trip.”

“Yes?”

“You have to risk your life to improve your skills quickly.”

I glanced back at the hardened students.

“Let’s start the real class.”
