19. Mess

Emily, who became a blue flame to judge the dead, calmly walked towards Marx.

It was a calm that was the exact opposite of the seething anger and resentment I felt, but she recognized it through experience.

Fear is more fearful than something that comes suddenly.

Because I was a girl who always trembled in fear that I might not become me today at the sound of the footsteps of the researchers who were always locked behind bars.

Even the momentary time to reach Marx was being used as a revenge.

With that, Maalx trembled and had no choice but to fall flat on his face.

[My, I was wrong! I too had no choice but to listen to Detroth Verdi’s orders!]

[…] … .]

[I mean the victim! I am a victim too! He said that if we don’t do that, he will kill us all!]

Emily looked down blankly at Maalx, who was shedding tears as she hit the ground.

He shouts as he runs his hands through his chest as if tearing it apart.

[request! Please, please! have mercy on me… … A handful of mercy!]

If you lick your feet, you will lick them.

Emily, who was standing still, had stopped moving before she knew it.

“Where did Detros Verdi find out about the existence of the anthroposophic monster?”

[…] … !]

That’s why when I intervene, Maalx’s eyes flash at me.

If I had been able to laugh well, I would have sent you a sneer at a time like this.

The only emotion he could show towards him was a cold, expressionless expression.

“Why did you have to be a human skeleton? There must have been a lot of other yokai, but why did he choose a yokai that was not well known to people and needed human bones so badly?”

[Day, Woo!]

Marx vomits out my name like a sigh. I ignore it and recite a page from Verdi’s diary in my memory like a Bible verse.

“On November 25, a man named Marx came to me. He explained to me that the ferocious spirit of the strangers recently crossing the Northweden Mountains was a sign of war.”

“His words are so bizarre that at one point I fell in love with his words. I didn’t realize it right away during the conversation, but I think about it while writing this journal. He who said he was for the cause of the kingdom might actually be using me to satisfy his own desires.”

“But, what does that matter? If I succeed, there is nothing but gain for me, and even if I fail, it is no different from killing the aliens crossing the mountain range.”

“He the knowledge, I the material.”

I didn’t have to tell you more than this. After saying that, I glanced at Maalx and he shouted while grinding his teeth.

[Verdi’s idiots like idiots! Even though I told you not to leave a record like that! Even after looking back, you’re making known your own ignorance!]

Marx, who was discovered to be the real instigator and the originator of the plan, looks up at Emily.

Despite hearing the whole truth, Emily stood still.

Seeing that, I let out a sigh and an unreasonable sneer.

“under.”

She was truly a delightful girl.

At one point, my thinking was narrowed down to her bubbly, which even made me think of myself as an 8-year-old.

“What, what? Did you just laugh at that?”

“… … .”

Finden Ai, who was surprised at my sudden smile, and Deia, who made a complicated expression.

The two of them could only see the flames in the shape of Emily, but Maalx was invisible, so they couldn’t understand what was going on, but they had no intention of explaining it.

[excuse me.]

Finally, Emily opened her mouth. Marx made a fuss and slammed his forehead on the floor.

[I am reflecting! I know I’ve been insanely stupid! so that… … !]

[Did you expect it?]

[…] … What?]

Maalx’s pupils slowly, wiggling upwards like an insect crawling.

When it touched Emily’s face, Marx’s eyes widened and his mouth opened.

[Ahh… … Ahhh!]

That Emily never had any intention of forgiving herself.

Notice her smile.

[Why, you’ve already done that to us a few times. Making them expect to be saved, then taking them and killing them.]

[Ahh.]

[This is funny, I think I know why you guys laughed so many times.]

Took.

Emily’s hand grabbed Marx’s wrist.

[Quaaa!]

Marx’s wrists begin to burn and he struggles, screaming at his throat.

It was the palm of a tender girl, but she couldn’t escape from her who became a flame.

[Turn it off! Turn off! Ride, Ride! age! Years old!]

[I really like the expression.]

Pak!

Emily grabbed the struggling Marx’s face with her other hand.

[Goeok! oh oh oh oh! aaagh! Buy, be considerate! Please consider it!]

I feel the pain of burning my face and wrists, but there is no trauma whatsoever.

because.

[You are already dead.]

yes, because he died

No matter how much pain you feel, there’s no way you can escape anymore.

[We are dead, you know. Actually, there is no such thing as an afterlife. So, even if I reach Buddhahood, I will not be able to meet my mother and father.]

[Turn it off! oh oh oh! aaa!]

[I. Even a single grain of this resentment. I will pour it out on you.]

The desperate scream continues to ring out. Slowly turning her body, she beckoned to Finden Eye and Deia.

“For a thousand things, there are aspects of a lady that she does not want others to see.”

“What?”

“… … .”

Not understanding the situation, the two headed outside following my lead.

Before leaving the door for the last time, I glance at Emily. She bowed her head as I walked away.

“It’s not over yet. I will prepare a ceremony for you, so please wait a moment.”

[…] … thank you.]

After making the last promise.

bang.

Closed the door.

The screams keep ringing.

Robern Academy.

“dare!”

The dean hit the desk with his fist. The letters underneath are miserably crumpled.

It was the Verdi family’s reply to the letter sent by the dean.

A blank sheet of paper with nothing written on it.

As he reads the letter meaning he has nothing to say, veins protrude from the forehead of the dean, who has a warm impression like a bear.

But what really annoyed him was the current situation.

Deus Verdi is needed, despite the occasional rudeness.

It’s opening soon.

The vacation is over and the current students will return, and the new students will also come in droves.

Especially.

‘There are too many big stars among these freshmen.’

aww

Beginning with the princess of the Griffin Kingdom, boys and girls with surprisingly outstanding talents come from many prestigious families.

The students are luxurious enough that professors are already excited about the golden riders after seeing the preliminary list.

I don’t know ‘why’ there are so many newcomers who are abnormally big players this year.

In any case, the current situation needed to be addressed.

“Is there no way?”

The dean, who wraps his head and thinks. Then Professor Gideon came in with a knock.

Behind him stood a woman whose word bleak is most apt. He wears a black robe, covers his face with a black cloth, and holds a staff with grotesque decorations in his hand.

“Dean, I’ve been looking for someone to solve this case.”

“Oh oh!”

The news that I couldn’t help but expect.

The dean, who jumped up and slammed the desk, asked with eyes mixed with anticipation.

“Who’s behind you?”

“Yes, that’s right. He is the necromancer I found with great difficulty.”

“Yes, yes… … Necromancer?”

The dean immediately frowned. Necromancer meant one of those who walked the path of black magic.

that’s soon

“Aren’t you a criminal?”

An existence that violated the laws of the Griffin Kingdom. A kind of germ that shouldn’t dare set foot in the academy.

“Yes, that’s right. But, dean. Would that matter now? The opening season is right around the corner. We need to clean up the academy before the students return.”

“I’d rather have a priest… … .”

The dean wondered if it would be right to bring in the priest he had been thinking about since the other day, but the necromancer behind him gave a terrifying laugh while giggling.

“Are those idiots who say they pray to God but actually get down on their knees? stop it We will be holding services even after class begins.”

“Kuhm.”

Indeed it is.

In addition, in fact, the exorcism of priests costs a lot of money, but it is impossible to properly confirm whether it is successful.

“I am sure. It frightens the spirit, and if you inflict pain, it will quickly run away.”

A strange belief begins to go to the necromancer who speaks with a cluck.

Yes, what can you do to save the academy?

The dean nodded and asked for a handshake with the necromancer.

“Please.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll proceed right away. I will finish it within today.”

The necromancer, who refused to shake hands, headed outside. Just in time, he bumps into Erica Bright and health professor Keren, who are on their way to the dean’s office.

The dean didn’t want to know, but Gideon smiled and drew the two in.

“The two of you will follow. Everything is settled now.”

“Yes?”

Erica frowned at what she meant, but Karen understood the moment she saw it.

“You brought the necromancer. They are quite rare to see.”

“As expected, you know him well because he did a lot of mercenary work.”

That’s how Karen and Erica also joined. Avoiding Gideon standing next to her, Erica braced herself and stood next to the necromancer.

“Can I ask you one question?”

“Anything.”

The necromancer giggled and gave a relaxed smile. Unpleasant feelings surged up, but Erica tried to hold it in and asked.

“There is a professor who was aware of the demons in the academy beforehand.”

“… … .”

The necromancer as well as others listened to her words.

It was the story of Deus.

“How did the professor know about demons?”

“Whoops.”

Everyone in the room could tell that that little laugh was a mockery.

“Sometimes there are people like that. People who have a sensitive sense of feeling the dead. But that’s all. If you look at it closely, you can say that it is a third-class with only wet feet. You can’t control and suppress demons like me. Isn’t that why the academy is overflowing with evil spirits?”

“… … Is that so?”

Erica felt a little relieved inside. To be honest, the more I dug into the situation, the more I felt that Professor Deius was involved in black magic.

“Ha, it seems that I sent that letter with my insignificant ability.”

“Professor Deius missed his genius opportunity to be reinstated.”

Gideon laughs and sympathizes with the dean, who snorts, saying, “It’s okay.”

Erica pretended not to hear and continued to ask the necromancer.

“Actually, there is an evil spirit I am looking for… … .”

“stop.”

Then the necromancer stopped walking.

It was right in the middle of the fourth floor hallway.

“We start here. It is a place that can be seen as the center of this building.”

Starting with those words, the necromancer immediately slams the floor with his staff.

A large amount of mana starts exploding explosively around her. Mana gurgled like clay and soon changed into the shape of a human palm.

The fingers stretch out and their tips become the palm again. The magic of the necromancer split into hundreds of palms like that.

Inside, the faces of the dead screaming in agony came into my eyes.

“You are a necromancer with considerable skill. Professor Gideon, where did you find that man? At this level, if that person set their mind to it, no one would be able to find it.”

“hahahaha, it’s a secret.”

At Keren’s question, who has seen the necromancer a few times, Gideon smiles and evades.

It was really great skill.

Even considering that it was a necromantic technique, the moment when Erica thought that her skills were superior to herself as a professor.

Wood Deuk.

The cane lands on the floor and rolls to Professor Erica’s feet.

The palm-shaped mana naturally burns into the air and disappears.

The necromancer was watching the professors.

The body is still in front, but the neck is completely turned.

“uh?”

dump.

That was it.

With his neck turned, the necromancer lets out a scream that he doesn’t know what the situation is, then collapses and rolls down the stairs.

No one could say anything.

just.

[Knock-knock!]

The only thing that could be heard was the girl’s terribly eerie ridicule.

thud!

thud!

thud!

thud!

The sound of heavy footsteps on the stairs.

“Why is he here… … .”

The one-armed skeleton warrior, known only to appear in the central hallway on the first floor, strides up the stairs with great leg strength.

Kwajik!

He immediately trampled the corpse of the necromancer who was rolling down the stairs and turned it into a lump of meat.

Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk!

He pulled out his sword and began to hack, slash, and stomp the necromancer’s corpse over and over again.
