Academy Slave Instructor

99 – There’s Something There

There’s Something There

Agnes widens her eyes at Rai’s strange proposal, which had been like a monster until now.

Her face was covered by a black helmet, but even through her heavy armor, it was clear that she was embarrassed.

“Why…?”

“Why? Why hire you? Or why save you?”

“Both…”

Agnes seems awkward dealing with Rai, perhaps still weighed down by the force of the fight.

Rai laughs at her cautious question.

“Isn’t it obvious? You’re so good at horseback riding. I’ve never seen a kid who rides horses well like you. It’s a waste to just waste it, so I’ll hire you as an instructor. Free labor at the academy in exchange for saving lives. It’s a surplus business. “

“It’s not free labor. You have to talk to the head of the academy, but he’ll be as considerate as possible. It’s not like he belongs to the academy at all.”

Layla quickly cuts in and adds to Rai’s explanation, which seems to run away just by hearing it.

It is her position against her opinion that Death Knight hires her being as her instructor, but regardless of her own opinion, Layla strives to follow through with her once decided decision.

Leyla still wonders if this is right, but since she came this far, she tried to conciliate Agnes as much as possible.

Agnes looks at Rai and Layla in silence.

I can’t read the exact emotion because my face is covered by the helmet, but it’s not a positive feeling.

“If you don’t like it, you should die.”

“Mister! Don’t bully your sister!”

“Hey, it’s not an old man. And he’s not an older sister either. She’s the same age as my great-grandmother, so what kind of an older sister is she?”

Whether it’s a famous knight or a death knight, age is a sensitive issue for women. At Rai’s words, Agnes flinched at her body.

It seems that the longer the conversation only builds up bad feelings, Leila quickly opens her mouth.

“It’s not a threat. He doesn’t intend to actually kill him, even if he speaks harshly.”

“Huh? No…”

As she tries to retort, Layla stabs her in the side with her elbow and shuts her mouth.

“However, the academy holds you in high esteem. The academy has no choice but to shoulder a lot of burden if it carries you because the work has already become too big.”

It’s easy to understand without Layla explaining.

Agnes was constantly attacked just for being undead.

In the meantime, because he had Tora, a unicorn, he was able to escape without having to deal with him, but this time he stood out a lot to enter the academy.

Although he was a bad guy, he killed the alchemist, and although he only fought those who attacked him, on the surface it was as if he had attacked the city.

Since he even came out as a paladin, he was also an enemy of the church, but it was obvious what kind of public opinion would be formed if the academy took Agnes.

Both the church and the city will have strong criticism towards the academy.

The best is to give one’s head, and the second best is to run away.

Knowing that her existence as a death knight would be better off, Agnes noticed that the academy was patronizing her.

“For now, I will provide you and Senna with a place to stay within the academy. And in the academy’s name, I will protect you from those who oppose you.”

“Can you really be with your sister!?”

“Yes, I’ll find you a safe and nice home.”

When Senna asks with her bright face, Layla pats her hair and answers.

As Agnes felt troubled, Layla immediately mentioned Senna.

The relationship between the two was only about saving them, and the time they met was short, but through the conversation with Senna, Leila was able to notice that Agnes has a lot of affection.

As Senna hangs her arm around her neck in delight, Agnes looks at her face for a moment and then removes her helmet.

As she puts on her helm, her hair, which has been put on her crown, is untied and her gray hair, which has lost her color, flows down.

Her records described her as having brilliant golden hair.

Leila, she remembered that she was originally blonde, said nothing to her long gray hair that came down to her waist.

Maybe it’s the effect of becoming a Death Knight.

It was gray hair that had lost its color, but it matched strangely with pure white skin, giving off a mysterious atmosphere.

The impression of a girl who has yet to shed her youthful tact is to the point of questioning whether she is a knight who has been making a rough mounted charge.

The shyly lowered gaze looked innocent, and her face was small, as if only her head was placed separately in heavy armor, giving it a strange feeling.

“Thank you for the suggestion from Legandia Academy. I hope you take good care of me even though I am a pitiful body.”

Putting her helmet on the floor, Agnes gets up to get on his one knee as if taking knightly oaths, then falls down again.

The wounds inflicted by Rai are not so easy, and Agnes, who was unable to properly control her body, leans on Tora again with Layla supporting her.

“I’m sorry… I’m not feeling well… Ah…!”

Unmatched by the quiet voice, Agnes widens her eyes in surprise.

Turning her head to follow her gaze, Leyla could see Rai licking her helm.

Agnes blushes as if her face is being licked by Rai herself.

I was able to discover a new fact that even the bloodless undead blushed when embarrassed, but that’s not the point now.

“Hey, you…”

Even Layla, who usually speaks abruptly, can’t connect her words properly, as if she’s lost for words at the perverted behavior of her Rai.

Receiving the gaze of three women, including Sena, who stared at her with her mouth open, Lai hurriedly bit her tongue.

“Don’t get me wrong. I was analyzing mana.”

“……”

No one believes me.

“Gee, for real! I’m not a pervert! I prefer her soft breasts to her hard helmet armor!”

“There’s nothing this bastard can’t say in front of a child!”

“Hawaa-“

While Rai is beaten by Leyla, Agnes grabs her red cheek and lets out an indistinct sound.

“Really! It’s real! I saw you at the alchemist’s house! They say tasting is the fastest way to analyze mana!”

Rai says it as if it’s unfair, but Leyla threatens to kill her if she doesn’t tell her why she needs it right now.

Catching her gaze with her hatchet eye, Lay puts down her helmet and holds out her hand to Agnes.

“Hey!”

Agnes, as if surprised by the previous perverted act, is frightened when she sees a hand approaching her.

She looked more fearful now than when she was the author, having lost the battle.

“I won’t eat you, so stay still.”

As Rai makes more of her perverted lines, her Senna tries to stop her, but Layla takes her and backs away from her.

When Sena asks if she should stop her knight sister from being scared, Leila comforts her and keeps her quiet so Lai can concentrate.

From the moment he stretched out his hand, evil energy flowed out.

I’m not talking about a person’s mood. Wasn’t it a lie to say that he licked his helmet and analyzed his mana? The same contaminated mana as the Death Knight was flowing out of his body.

In the records related to the devil of the world, there was no information that he could use necromancy.

According to social norms, it is difficult to use it openly, but it is very useful to steal information by manipulating prisoners or corpses with necromancy.

However, rai was never used during the war.

Since Joshua was always by his side during his time as the Demon of the World, if he secretly used necromancy, it would have been recorded.

If it was Rai who always emphasized efficiency, he would have used it randomly, but he didn’t.

Not using necromancy is respect for the opponent.

Leila discovers a new side of him and silently watches his actions.

Caring for her tight Agnes, Rai placed her hand on her shoulder and channeled her tainted mana to heal her wounds.

If it was used on an ordinary person, it would corrupt her wounds and remove her vitality, but for the undead, on the contrary, it serves as a means of recovery.

Agnes, who had been pierced, looked at her body curiously as she felt the pain quickly disappear.

“It’s over. It’s not completely, but it should be enough to move your body. You’ll recover in a day anyway.”

Tora, who was in contact with Agnes, regained her energy and lifted her head.

“Ah…”

Rai stood up from her seat and looked at Agnes’ voice.

“Hey… Thank you…”

“I did the wound myself. Typical bottle and medicine.”

Seeing her mischievous smile, Agnes covers her mouth and laughs shyly.

Leila, watching the strange atmosphere of the two, silently shoots a flare into the sky as if she doesn’t want to get involved.

It was a signal that the problem was solved, so it was okay to remove the barrier.

The translucent membrane disappears and the people who see Rai throwing a flimsy joke at Agnes stare at her with bewildered expressions.

Bright looks at Layla with a complex expression as if she already knew.

“Did you finally accept the offer?”

“Yes.”

Layla gives a short answer and nods her head.

Bright, who was her opponent, sees Rai and Agnes without hiding her insecurities.

Recruiting Agnes to the academy was a secret known only to four people, including the head of the academy.

This is how the incident started.

“It’s the best academy in the empire, but doesn’t it look mysterious with at least one ghost instructor?”

Bright said what kind of ghost she was talking about, and she thought it was a ridiculous proposal even to the head of the academy, Selena.

The Black Knight has no intention of fighting. Even during the battle, they did not harm the citizens. I’m staying sane. Rai, who told many other facts, recommended Agnes’ recruitment.

Although she is an opponent, Leyla, who spoke calmly about the pros and cons of recruiting neutrally, immediately voted against it.

Rai nodded her head at her persuasive words, and as soon as she finished her explanation, she objected and looked at Leila with betrayed eyes, but she didn’t even care.

It would be nice if the academy students could learn the mysterious horsemanship, but since the academy students could be dangerous, Bright was against it.

Selena, who was thinking hard about it, agreed, and Lai was divided into half and half for and against.

After a long conversation, we finally decided to pursue recruitment if several conditions were met.

1. You must be sane and not in an unstable state where you may later lose your temper.

2. There should be no hostility towards the Empire.

3. Reputation and honor must be high at the time of life.

4. You must not be guilty of anything you did while you were alive.

5. Is there any reason to be excused from the crimes that caused damage to the city (murder of the alchemist, missing persons).

If the five conditions were met, the academy could receive Agnes without any burden.

Although Agnes, famous as the Twilight Knight, was executed, he barely passed all the conditions because of the greedy tyranny of the king.

Her reputation could have prevented criticism from the church, and if there were no major problems, the reputation of the academy would have been even higher.

It was only natural that hagwon students could receive higher quality education.

Bright, who only had the existence of the Death Knight, made a promise through her interview that if Asnes was in danger, she would personally stop it.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with the personality of Agnes, a shy girl beyond goodness.

* * *

It’s midnight, but it’s as bright as daytime.

The flames that hate the darkness dance with ephemeral gestures as if to expel the night sky.

It may not be able to defeat the night sky, but it is enough fire to drive away weak humans.

The fire started from a distant hill and reached the camp, causing screams from soldiers and shouts from adjutants.

It’s fun.

“Damn it! You damn devil!”

The adjutant sees the endless field of fire and gets angry.

War is fun because something unimaginable happens, but the lieutenant doesn’t know what to do.

We are busy trying to put out the fire, but a fire that is clearly artificially created cannot be extinguished with just one spray of water.

“Ethel- Ryan!!! Where are you?!!!! Let’s play!!”

I hear the voices of a hateful and loving bastard.

My jaw dropped as I approached the Devil of the World, who made me tremble with anger and joy at the same time.

“Come!! Here it is!!”

I was excited and tried to run away, but my lieutenants stopped me.

“No! We must back down! Fighting here is double suicide!”

“If the soldiers and knights of the empire die meaninglessly like this, they will not even close their eyes because of the unfairness!”

Looking down at the begging lieutenants holding on to their waists.

I’m angry, but I can’t help it. Because what they say is not wrong.

At times like this, I really hate the title of Commander-in-Chief.

I can’t eat such delicious food even though it is grilled to medium rare.

That’s it. Because we can meet again anyway.

“Take responsibility for Dales, Kun, and Semera’s rear. Everyone retreat. Paras, escaping with the knights and soldiers first, then ambush them at the corner of the road. That bastard will definitely come after you.”

At my command, the adjutants disperse quickly.

The guy’s excited voice flows through the flames.

Unfortunately, that’s it for this time.

I’ll entertain you next time. Look forward to it.

Edel Lian, who was sleeping on the soft bed, opened his eyes.

I dreamed about the past again.

I don’t know if he misses the era of war or the demons of the world, but Edelian feels good after a long time.

It has been almost 10 years since I was entrusted with the tedious task of stabilizing the situation in the Kingdom of Kaylan.

I think it’s rewarding to see people dyed in peace and smile happily, but he personally wanted to taste the excitement of that time again.

After blaming himself for wasting time with useless thoughts, Adelian enters the office after getting ready.

A mountain of paperwork and countless letters.

I may have had such a dream because I wanted to burn them all up.

Adelian, who started a boring job, checks the documents sent by the Ministry of Information.

All important or unusual events that have occurred in the Empire are reported to commanders and above.

Adelian laughs when he hears that the academy has recruited Death Knight as an instructor, saying that it is a very interesting place.

There were a lot of interesting things when he was also an academy student.

Edelian, whose memories of him have come to mind, loses his smile the more he reads his documents.

“Look at this. There’s something.”

Adelian pays close attention to the information about an instructor who subdued Agnes, the Knight of Twilight.

I don’t know the Redford family at all, but this lecturer, Rai, somehow feels very familiar.
