A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

057. Threats for Little Kids

Instructor Eloy shouted while holding Trine in his arms.

“Trine! Trine! Don’t die before my eyes!”

“…….”

“Damn it! Quick medic!”

Instructor Elroy stood up suddenly.

Then, for a moment, the vision in front of my eyes flipped over and the scenery changed.

… Trine was standing clean and unscathed.

And something black fell between the two.

Only then did Instructor Eloy, who understood the situation, ask with a forced smile.

“T-Trine? Was it a hallucination?”

Then Trine spoke in an exaggerated, tearful voice.

“I was touched, instructor! You cried so much for me!”

“Raise your sword, Sasha, I’ll kill you properly this time and cry as much as you want.”

“No, wait a minute! What should I do first?”

Trine pointed to the devil on the floor.

Then he thrust his sword at the devil’s neck and threatened him.

“I’ll give you 10 seconds, so tell me everything about what you’re up to. I’ll listen to everything and decide whether to kill you or not.”

“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous! Who would say that!”

Then Trine intervened from the side.

“They say they will steal the treasure called Heavenly Sphere on the festival day.”

Instructor Eloi pushed his sword closer and fired coldly.

“How many demons have infiltrated the academy in total?”

“Kill me.”

“About 10 people?”

“Heh, it’s a lot more than that. So it’s better to be scared.”

Instructor Elroy looked into the devil’s eyes and said with a slight smile.

“Less than 10 people.”

“What?! How can you-”

“About 5 people?”

“Should I tell you!”

“Three people? Four people? …There are three people.”

“What kind of guy are you-”

Instructor Eloi thrust the sword completely into the devil’s throat.

After the demon’s body exploded and disappeared, Trine asked Eloi.

“What was that just now? Did you use a thought-reading spell or something?”

“It’s a technique to guess based on the other person’s pupils and breathing. I’ll teach you later.”

“Incredible.”

“There’s something more important to do right now, right?”

“Meeting against demons?”

“no.”

Instructor Elroy took a stance holding his sword.

“Hold your posture.”

“Huh? No, really-”

“I need to relieve the stress I got from my little children, at least on you!”

Senior Myungyoon spoke in front of the three kneeling children.

“The temporary pass can only be used to enter the main building! Didn’t you hear that it’s prohibited in the engineering department building?”

Sia responded cautiously.

“I’m sorry, I just wanted to meet my cousin for a moment.”

“Cousin? Who are you talking about!”

“Oppa Trine.”

“…Hoo.”

At that time, Trine entered the building and ran as fast as he could as if he was in a hurry.

As he tried to pass by senior Myeong-yoon,

Senior Myeong-yoon punched him in the side and knocked him down.

“Ugh!”

“Do not run inside the building!”

“S-sorry-”

“And you can’t take care of your cousins properly!”

Let’s shoot the three musketeers with Trine down.

All three smiled with a calm expression.

“Hello, Brother Trine?”

“Oppa, it’s been a while.”

“Hello brother.”

“You guys really…”

At that time, Instructor Eloy ran into the building chasing Trine.

“Trine, you b*stard, can’t you stand there!”

Myeong-yoon also punched Instructor Elroy’s side, knocking him down.

“Tsk! You b*stard!”

“You said you were that teacher’s student, how on earth did you give him training?”

Then Instructor Eloy and Trine lost their temper.

“I have never had a disciple like this!”

“I have only one teacher, Master Elford!”

“You both are loud!”

Myeong-yoon’s voice echoed throughout the Knights Department building.

“All five people here will run ten laps around the playground! Do it!”

***

Yuril muttered as he checked the checklist of items in front of the booth.

“Okay, this is all set.”

Next to me, Cat said, wiping sweat with her sleeve.

“Phew, finally.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Now you don’t have to come until the day of the festival.”

At that time, Trine was seen running towards the two.

“What’s going on?”

“Sorry, later.”

Trine ignored Yuril and ran past with a somewhat contemplative look on his face.

And three other students and instructor Eloy ran behind him.

And behind them, a female student with a loudspeaker was chasing them.

“Run a little faster!”

After they passed completely in front of the booth, Yuril frowned.

“What accident did he get into again?”

Cat responded angrily.

“Isn’t it normal for the owner to have an accident?”

“That girl is Princess Sia, and the girl next to her is called Pyrrol.”

“Ah, the girl you said was the owner’s new girlfriend?”

At that time, a strange thought occurred in Yuril’s head.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to kill a lecher like that now?’

… Yuril was surprised that he had thought of such a thing himself.

“Maybe I’m nervous because I’m overworked…”

‘Even though I’m having such a hard time, Trine doesn’t help me and just has fun with the other kids, right?’

Cat asked in surprise as Yuril slapped himself in the face.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“No, I’m a little tired.”

“Well, there’s nothing we can do. Let’s go back now.”

“huh…”

‘Okay, let’s take a good rest now and then kill Trine on the day of the festival.’

Yuril slapped himself once again and headed out of the academy with Cat.

***

That evening in the student council room.

Trine briefly explained the current situation to Maria, Instructor Elroy, and Student Council President Myeong-yoon.

“That means there is only one demon left.”

At those words, Instructor Elroy rested his chin and muttered with a serious expression.

“The instructor and the student council president, who were the others planning to target?”

“It would not be instructors or student council officers. If the goal is theft, it is advantageous to spread the number of people as widely as possible.”

“You cannot make hasty predictions. Besides, you never know when the enemy will reinforce.”

In fact, the only people gathered here were those who were judged safe from possession.

Inquisitor Maria is reluctant to even be approached by demons.

Instructor Elroy can sense that he has been possessed.

Trine who is (mistakenly) protected by Yumano’s stigmata.

And although the exact reason was not explained,

Myeong-yoon, the student council president, has absolute resistance to possession by demons.

That is why only these members shared information to hunt demons.

… Myeong-yoon paused for a moment and then spoke.

“As the instructor said, we must keep in mind the possibility of reinforcements, but first, we will move with the goal of finding the one remaining possessed demon.”

It is said that it takes quite a while for a devil to fully possess one.

In other words, even if reinforcements are added, it will be difficult to use the method of possession in a situation where the festival day is just around the corner.

Then, if we first find the one remaining demon,

At least that means you don’t have to worry about being possessed anymore.

“Currently, the most suspicious are not school officials but external festival collaborators.”

“Collaborators?”

“Invited guests. Equipment managers, assistant chefs, medical staff, etc.”

After thinking for a moment, Instructor Elroy opened his mouth.

“Okay. Let’s gather them all together and examine them. How many people are there in total?”

“There are 47 people who have officially registered, and if you include those who have not, there are probably around 100.”

“But that’s a lot.”

“At least if you say it’s a pre-test for infectious diseases, you can avoid unnecessary suspicion.”

“…Okay! I will form a secret devil countermeasures committee with just these members!”

Instructor Elroy stood up from his seat and shouted.

“Let’s keep in touch with each other and maintain strict confidentiality!”

***

At that time, the Plush Trio was huddled together outside the student council room, pressing their ears to the door.

I tried to eavesdrop on the conversation in a somewhat serious-looking atmosphere, but ultimately failed.

Sia grumbled.

“Why did they put such a strong soundproof barrier around the student council room?”

Pyrrol and Locke murmured at those words.

“Well, I guess there’s no one worth eavesdropping on.”

“Then what on earth are we doing now?”

From noble mtl dot come

At that time, the door to the student council room burst open.

The three of them fell out of the door and started acting the other way.

Trine looked at the three people and sighed.

“You guys really do it in moderation.”

Sia asked Trine with a bright smile.

“Sir, what meeting did you have?”

“you do not have to know.”

“Does this have something to do with the strange burdock you fed us earlier?”

Trine glared at the three for a moment without answering, then opened his mouth.

“You three are prohibited from entering the academy until the festival day. Tomorrow’s magic swordsmanship class is also cancelled.”

Then three people shouted at the same time.

“Huh? Where is something like that all of a sudden!”

“Now what?”

“behave shamefully!”

Trine summoned a magic sword and pointed it at the three people.

“I’m warning you. If you catch my eye at the academy, I’ll consider you an enemy and really cut you down.”

The three people fell silent in the atmosphere of Trine, which was completely different from usual.

Then, Sia took a step closer to Trine and asked.

“Sir, has something serious happened?”

“That’s right. But I can’t tell you.”

“We will help you, so please explain the situation to us-”

Trine swung his sword.

Sia was startled and dodged back at the force that felt like she was really going to be cut.

“It is the last warning.”

… Sia reacted a little angrily at that overly cold voice.

“You don’t trust me?”

“Wear it when you need it. It’s not your place to step out.”

“no, I do not want.”

Sia pulled out her sword.

“I decided to pick up a sword because I wanted to be helpful to my senior.”

“Rather than helping you now, you are only hindering me.”

“Shall we decide on a duel? If I win-”

When Trine suddenly struck away Sia’s sword with all his might,

Sia couldn’t react and lost the sword.

He said, holding the sword to Sia’s neck.

“Princess, please, please. Could you please not disturb me just this once?”

“…It’s as if I’m always in the way of my senior.”

“Get out now.”

Sia glared hard at Trine for a while.

But he soon turned around and spoke to Pyrrhol and Locke.

“let’s go.”

“Oh, yes.”

“…….”

Only after the three children left, Trine released the magic sword and sighed heavily.

Then, Instructor Eloy patted Trine’s shoulder from behind.

“Good job. You have to do that to get them to listen.”

“Yes.”

“Even though you say it’s annoying, you really care about Princess Xia, right?”

“…I think I know how Yuril feels.”

“Anyway, just hold on until the festival ends.”

“yes.”

Trine looked at the spot where Sia left for a moment, then

He soon turned around and left with Instructor Elroy.
