I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 81

“… … That’s how it goes.”

“Is the operation all known?”

“yes. Coltman revealed everything.”

“The imperial family will be arguing later, so you should take care of it.”

I heard about the situation from Neil.

It is said that the operation using the magic core was revealed on the same day the air raid began.

The commander, Kanin, also disappeared, and Coltman, rather than taking care of the prestige of the empire, chose to encourage the students to fight by telling them that Baeller and I had crossed the barrier.

Anyway, that’s what I felt overall.

‘I’m doing really well.’

The situation going back is weird.

The front line is an ideal structure that repeats one step at a time, and all six outposts have never been breached. Naturally, the conditions of the wizards and students are all good.

It is still piled up in front of the front line, but unlike the early days, the pushing force is weak.

The frequency of casting magic by the wizards in the front was rare. This is because the outpost is not particularly threatened.

‘At least 40,000.’

The troops who carried out the operation survived.

Kanin’s magic is, of course, superior to Baeller’s. They buried a lot more monsters alive than expected.

I also saw the results of the training led by class A students. The students’ magic is regular and constant.

It’s not that the soldiers didn’t die, but as the situation at the outpost was good, the students felt less pressure.

A virtuous cycle follows.

“Rox… … ?”

“Woke up?”

At that moment, Hira, who had passed out while leaning against the wall, opened her eyes. I tried to force myself up, so I lowered my stance.

“Don’t overdo it.”

Even if the level of magic reached 4 stars, I remember that Hira’s magic level was only 4.

If the child had passed out, it was clear that Hira’s condition would be much worse.

“That’s the Rocks.”

“I am always like this.”

“It’s not something to brag about.”

Fugh, Hira burst into a small smile and held out the notebook she was holding tight.

“Sorry for stealing.”

“I’m not angry. You can steal that a hundred times.”

“yes. Was it helpful this time?”

“It’s been great.”

Squeak.

While talking, his head tilted to the side. I threw the notebook on the floor and hugged Hira who was about to fall.

“Huh, strangely, your body is leaning this way.”

“I could have fallen on Your Highness’ side.”

“This is because I am greedy.”

He gently pressed Hira’s head in his arms. We didn’t speak to each other for a while.

“… … Well done.”

what will happen in the future

It’s a 4-star in Imagination Theory right now, and if only I could keep up with the growth rate.

Hira is also comparable to the main characters. There should be plenty of room to play an active role in the episode. I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily a good thing.

“I worked hard.”

It is changing.

are changing

Get out of the set options and in a completely different form. Knowing and not knowing are mixed, so I don’t know what will happen. Unstable.

still.

“know.”

Find hope in such anxiety.

As Aini’s Imagination Theory did.

Just as Frid’s bluntness disappeared.

Just like Hira became a 4-star.

“I came back safely… … .”

“Rox!”

“100 million.”

Puck, something hit his side.

Hira was light, but this hurts a little. Immediately, the child wrapped around my neck started to cry, and Hira, who had moved away a little, smiled shyly.

“Ahmua guzuhajuh… … .”

“I can’t understand a thing, Your Highness.”

In fact, I found out surprisingly. I know how worried you are.

“Poeeh!”

“Yes Yes.”

… … I didn’t understand this.

Even after removing the tears and runny nose, I was able to drop the child who finally came to his senses after calming down for a long time. Ai-nim pinched my cheek a few times.

“Hehe.”

laugh out loud He’s a really fun guy to watch.

“Anyway, that’s the conclusion. Everything is fine, but that one big monster is the problem?”

“Mage Derek and the Marquis, the two of you take turns blocking it.”

Hira replied.

The name of the megalithic soldier hadn’t been attached to him yet.

If Derek and Coltman got tired and came closer than they are now, they would have noticed their true identity, but since no one was watching them closely, they had no choice but to know.

The solution is simple once you know that the body of that monstrously large monster is an ordinary ‘stone’.

“Does Rox have any thoughts?”

“Yes, look at these.”

I took some gray stones from my pocket and spread them on the floor. Some were quite large, the size of a fist.

Coltman has already shown this.

“Can you stop it with this?”

“no. It’s just a stone. They were far apart.”

“then?”

As they say, it is nothing special.

But since everyone assumed that I wasn’t saying this for nothing, no one doubted it.

How can I sell drugs?

“I picked it up in the neighborhood on the way home. Any soldier who has been to the outpost often will know.”

How many earth attribute magics have been cast on that land for decades?

It must have been cast tens of thousands of times. The same is true of the Confederate Front, and anywhere but the Empire.

“There can never be a stone as big as this on a wire.”

There are no stones on the wire.

I don’t know if it’s about the size of a fingernail, but there shouldn’t be any large stones with such a bumpy surface.

In other words, all the stones I picked up came from the body of the stone soldier.

“So he’s just a big boulder.”

“If it’s a stone… … .”

“Simple, right?”

They don’t even know it’s a lump of stone and they’re shooting magic.

It wouldn’t be bad to make Derek go through hardships, who had been dying for me, but it’s better to save power.

“It’s as if it’s already been resolved.”

Tuck, Tuck, Tuck.

Just then, a commotion erupted from the stairway below.

It was the first thing I asked Coltman for when I went to command.

“Wait, isn’t that dangerous?”

“If you see us calling… … .”

“They said it wasn’t very useful on the barrier, right?”

“Let’s move forward quickly.”

Although they participated in the mobilization order, not all students climbed the barrier.

About 100 people specializing in water attributes were ordered to wait in the barracks. Since most of them were excluded during training, he must have thought that he would never climb the barrier.

But if it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have brought it from the beginning.

“Is this enough for a day?”

“yes. Now all you have to do is place them properly spaced. You worked hard.”

“no.”

It wasn’t just the students who climbed the stairs. He ordered soldiers to bring dozens of carts full of something.

He patted him on the back because he must have had a hard time climbing the barrier.

“Is it water?”

“right.”

slap.

Hira opened the cart lid. It was filled with water.

Water attribute magic draws water from the air, so it is better to prepare water separately when the scale grows.

“Then let’s rest for a while.”

“really?”

“My father told me to go back to the barracks and rest, but I can’t do that.”

I sat down on a spot in the corner. I couldn’t sleep for a long time, so I was exhausted all at once. half now.

The raid is not over yet.

If there is ever a time to catch your breath, it is now.

“Wake me up later at night.”

Since I didn’t hear the answer, I think I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

* * *

“Lord Rockstryn… … .”

“Shh. I fell asleep.”

When Rockstrin was revived as a barrier, Freed was the precursor to barrier #1.

After an hour or so, I went to find Roxtrin after changing with him, and I found Roxtrin sleeping with his head on Nael’s lap.

“Did you block the other side?”

“I just followed what Lord Rockstryn said.”

“still. great job. You can sit there and get some rest.”

“Yes.”

It was the first time that Frid had a direct conversation with Ainim. There is a considerable difference in status between a commoner and a princess.

“Should I take a look at that?”

Everyone was asleep with their heads next to the lockscreen, so Frid laughed lightly and took a step back to sit down.

Suddenly, I looked at the floor and there were several stones strewn about.

“This was Lord Rockstrin, too.”

“then. Because Rocks is great.”

[Ready to cast.]

Following Coltman’s order, the water-attribute students who climbed the barrier raised the water all at once.

[10 seconds.]

thud! cooong! cooong!

The moment Derek stopped casting his magic, the furious monster sped up and started running.

It may seem dull at first glance, but considering the 25m tall body, it was like shortening the distance with tremendous speed.

I’ve already pulled back the lines of outposts 3 and 4.

[Cast.]

“[Io Mea Tas]!”

“[Io Mea Tas]!”

“[Io Mea Tas]!”

Unlike magic of other attributes that have consistently matched the sum, the size and speed of the [water bullets] were different. Rather, I liked the irregularity.

Chow!

There is no way you can’t hit a huge target. The monster was covered in water evenly from head to shoulder, arms and legs, with nowhere to cover.

[Cooling.]

Water-attribute magicians, although there are individual differences, can lower the temperature of the water they control to some extent.

If you are skilled, it is possible to make it freeze even below freezing.

“Ah, did it happen?”

“I guess so… … .”

Great!

The soaked water freezes. The closer the distance is, the clearer it becomes.

A crack suddenly appeared on the right arm of the monster that was rushing at it with the momentum to throw its large body against the barrier at any moment.

“It breaks!”

coo kung!

Boom, the broken arm fell off so easily that it was absurd, and crushed the monsters below. The cracks didn’t stop there.

[Cast.]

[Cooling.]

Once again the water is sprayed, and it freezes. At the same time as the knee parted, the large body tilted.

Kwaaang!

A cloud of dust rose.

Outpost No. 3 was completely destroyed, but the monsters there were also crushed to death by stones.

It was also spectacular to see the detached head rolling around and crushing the monsters.

“Have you done it?”

“Don’t be silly!”

“No, I think it’s really over? Are you completely crushed?”

A brief tension ensued over the barrier.

However, even after a long time, the monster could not get up. Coltman’s voice resounded only after the haze of dust had settled.

[Loss of magic response.]

[Eliminated.]

Wow!

Both the students and the soldiers of the Magic Corps. I screamed without you Loss of magical response. There was no clearer evidence than that of the monster’s treatment.

Coltman quickly replenished his forces, restored outposts 3 and 4, and put the front on track.

The dismembered body of the monster was completely shattered just in case.

“I am worried about the future.”

There are monsters like that in the North too.

Ainim felt cramped again at the scenery seen over the barrier. What lurks beyond me?

“At that time, you should be able to block it just as well as you do now.”

“I’m glad there were Rocks.”

Dig a hole in advance with earth magic, or knock it over with wind magic. Only such things were going up and down as countermeasures. There was no way to fundamentally defeat him.

Even after seeing thousands of monsters piled up in front of her eyes, she picked up stones that had fallen on the ground. measures were devised.

It’s easy if you just listen to it from the side.

If I had waited for the road to open down there, I would have been looking up at the top of the barrier.

‘It’s better to exclude children with water attributes.’

‘no. Let’s take it for now. Just in case.’

‘Wouldn’t that be very helpful at the barrier? Deterrence won’t mean much to a large-scale air raid.’

‘It’s not a big loss to increase the supply by 100 people. First of all, it’s good to have a lot of things that can be used.’

‘Mmm, okay.’

What would have happened if he hadn’t listened to Rockstrin?

What would have happened if I hadn’t known that his body was made of stone.

The moment Derek and Coltman run out of magic, everything will be over.

“Sometimes I imagine that.”

“What is your imagination?”

“If it hadn’t been for Rocks, I would.”

“Oh, I do sometimes too.”

“Is not it?”

It’s not very pleasant to have bad imaginations. Ainim turned his head slightly and looked at the face of Lockstrin, who was soundly asleep.

here you are Feel relieved.

“It usually doesn’t last long. It’s because I don’t think I’ll be able to come back alive from Areas.”

“right.”

“I’ll just go back.”

“Cheer up a little more.”

“Yes.”

Now that the front line was restored, Frid had to slowly return to his seat.

Just like that, I got up and glanced in the direction of the lock screen. Found something strange.

“But what’s Lord Rockstryn mouthing?”

“Rox? Oh, yes.”

There was something white protruding from the tip of her lips. What other fun things are you doing?

Ainim carefully reached out and pulled it.

“handkerchief?”

“Why are you biting on the handkerchief?”

“I know.”

Opening it up and looking at it, there was nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary white handkerchief. It’s just covered in saliva.

Ainim tried to put the handkerchief back on Rockstrin’s lap.

“… … um?”

“Ah, say.”

“Are you talking in your sleep?”

“I guess so!”

Come to think of it, Rocktrin couldn’t sleep when someone was around.

‘Did I say anything strange?’

After returning from Credia, he said the same thing when Rockstrin woke up after passing out.

Even if everything looks great, there are some loose screws here and there. Maybe I’m talking too much in my sleep.

Both Aini and Frid. I held my breath and listened.

“… … I want to.”

“I can’t hear you well.”

“What do you want to eat? Even if it’s a gift later—”

“I want to die.”

“If you do… … .”

The child’s mouth hardened instantly.

The sleeping Rockstrin didn’t pay attention to this and kept muttering.

“I want to die.”

“Yes, it is all my fault.”

“Sorry. child. I’m sorry, Baeller. I’m sorry, Auril. I’m sorry, Frid. I’m sorry, Hira. I’m sorry, Aldin. I’m sorry, Cromwell… … .”

name followed.

Frid too, his body stiffened in a huddled posture and did not move.

There were many names, familiar names, and unfamiliar names. But there was another name that bothered me the most.

Aldin, Cromwell, Zigsen… … .

These are the names of six male students who were killed by advanced monsters that invaded the campus at the beginning of the semester.

“I am you… … .”

Tup.

Ainim covered Rockstrin’s mouth with a handkerchief. I didn’t want to let him speak any further.

“Let’s pretend we didn’t hear.”

“… … Yes.”

Even while forcibly opening his mouth and inserting the handkerchief back in. Rockstrin did not wake up.
