chapter 19
19 – Hold your teeth tight if you don’t want to lose them all
“Raiden Resit!! I heard rumors that you made a contract with the devil!!!”
Alan screams loudly.
“What…?”
As I put on a dumbfounded expression, the saintess standing next to Alan opened her mouth.
A saintess who speaks in a gentle voice.
“Mr. Raiden, I’m going to do a simple investigation. Would you like a moment?”
“Yes…?”
I looked at the two with a blank expression on my face at the sudden situation.
“No… Doing an investigation because of a rumor, what is that…?”
The saintess answered my question with a benevolent smile.
“Yes, even if it’s a rumor, it’s something you don’t know. The devil is always something to be wary of…”
“No… what bullsh*t…”
“Quietly follow me, Raiden Lisit. If you do not obey me, I will take you by force.”
no sh*t, who are you
Why is the academy using force at will?
Can you be a leader?
The knife he is holding is also a wooden sword, but he holds the form quite a bit.
No, in the first place… Does it make sense to come to you just to hear rumors and investigate…?
I looked at Alan, feeling a sense of absurdity.
His golden eyes were shining like the sun.
Seeing those glowing eyes, I felt my head throb and clenched my brow.
“ha……”
A deep sigh.
‘Yeah… This was Alan at the beginning…’
This is Alan at the beginning of the original story.
A guy who jumps in and sees when something happens.
A child who is righteous and strong, but lacks mental growth yet.
Because of this inconsiderate personality, in the beginning of the original work, he was involved in unnecessary trouble several times.
‘Even so, I didn’t expect it to be this much…’
I squeezed my brow and shook my head.
Heard of rumors and came looking for someone…?
Hearing the rumors going around the academy full of instigation, fabrication, and fluff…?
If you really think about it, you’ll see that it’s nonsense…
What does the devil make a contract with?
In the first place, I made a contract with Raiden, who has this pitiful talent, and the devil uses it.
“Mr. Raiden? Please come with me.”
In addition, it is shocking that there is a saint next to Alan.
No f*ck… I didn’t stop this…?
As I recall, the saintess in [The Hero Beloved by Everyone] was quite intelligent.
I must have known it was bullsh*t…
‘It’s obvious…’
When Alan said let’s go, he would have followed while saying helllele.
Even at that point, the saintess was deeply in love with Alan.
obviously inside…
‘To be alone with Mr. Alan…! Is this… is this a date…!!’
It’s obvious that I came here while screaming.
Obviously, when I saw it in the book, that side seemed attractive and cute, but when I faced it, it didn’t seem like this.
Annoyance creeps up inside.
I was already in a bad mood because I saw something terrible in my dream, but what? Do you do your research?
I distorted my expression.
Then Alan’s eyes, which were looking at me, became even sharper.
“Looks like… It seems that you don’t intend to respond to the investigation lightly…”
I felt my insides burn as I watched Alan speak in full form.
hold on… hold on…
Alan is still immature…
Alan, who will become the hero of salvation that I remember when he grows up a little…
I said that to myself and told my feelings.
It’s not good to fall out with Alan already.
Since the main story of the original work will begin soon, you must maintain a friendly relationship with Alan as much as possible.
As I quietly let go of my anger, Ariel, who was next to me, stepped out.
“Wait! Raiden, saintess!! What are you talking about all of a sudden!!”
“Second seat…? Why are you here?”
“Ariel-san…? Why are you with Raiden-san…?”
I said with a deep sigh.
“I’m with my brother, I don’t know what’s so surprising.”
“But… I’m sure Ariel-san and Raiden-san don’t get along…”
“no!!”
At the saintess’ questioning words, Ariel screamed and hid me behind her back.
“Me and oppa are good! So don’t bully my oppa!!”
“Ariel…”
I looked down at Ariel with moved eyes.
She was almost 20 cm taller than me, so I found it very cute how she tried to hide me behind my small size.
cute…
Really cute…
……
…Leiden you.
Admit it this time…
Ariel is so f*cking cute, she’s the best.

Just as I was appreciating my little brother’s cuteness, Alan opened his mouth.
“Get out of the way, second seat.”
“I hate it! Don’t make a fuss over the rumors!!”
Ariel gave an angry answer.
“You’ll know if it’s a rumor or not. Get out of the way.”
“I can’t get out of the way!”
“……Just let me get out of the way.”
Saying that, Alan boiled the mana in his body.
-Koo-gu-gu-gu!!
“Whew..!?”
As if reacting to Alan’s mana, the mana around him fluctuated.
A tingling feeling spreads throughout the body.
Alan raises his eyes.
At the same time, a mechanical sound rang in my ears.
-Titling!
[Alan Reinhardt uses the skill ‘A+’!]
-Koo Goong!!
A different body floats in Alan’s eyes.
His golden eyes pour towards me and Ariel.
A hideous glare of eyes, as if trying to devour us.
Overwhelmed by that, my body stopped moving.
At the same time, my head goes blank.
-Titling!
[Due to the effect of the skill ‘A+’, you get a status abnormality (stunned)!]
What…? Fainting…?
At the same time as the message was moxibusted, I felt my head pounding.
No, f*ck it… I pass out just because I sprayed it once…
It’s a real cheating skill…
Right before I lost my mind and grumbled like that.
-Titling! Tring!
The machine beeped again.
[Skill ‘Spirit of Iron’ resists ‘Survival (A+)!]
[Skill ‘Living (A+) has been nullified!]
That’s right, he had an iron mind.
A head that instantly clears up.
The distant vision returns, and the deafened ears are pierced again.
When the blurry focus returned, Alan’s embarrassed face was visible.
“Oh, oh…! I accidentally emitted too much intensity of life…!!”
“Hey, Alan? Are you okay…?”
“Ah, no, I’m fine. The problem is those two people who were beaten to death. I would have almost fainted at this level…”
I didn’t pass out.
The spirit of iron is too strong to be defeated by only A+ rank skills.
It’s an SSS-level mental barrier.
Don’t get caught up in such a crappy life…
Hold on, even if I’m fine with my ‘iron mind’…
Ariel…?
“Ariel…?”
I lowered my head and looked down at the woman standing in front of me.
“……”
She was unconscious with her back leaning against me.
And the moment I checked her condition, I heard the sound of something breaking inside me.
– Took
The line that calmed her emotions from earlier had been severed.
I gently took Ariel’s body and laid it on the bench next to me.
Seeing me like that, Alan’s eyes widened.
“You, you…! How the hell are you…?!”
Oh, I have to be patient.
An incident that will explode in 3 days, Alan must stop it.
“You…! That power that allows you to live casually…!! As expected, you were a contract with the devil…!!!”
I can’t stand it.
“It’s a f*ck.”
A voice came out that I was afraid to hear.
Alan and the saintess trembled.
Are you excited about Ariel falling?
I don’t know, for now…
“You’re behind, you.”
I think I’m going to have to pull out all of that bastard’s teeth.
“Status window.”
-Titling!
Bluespear responds to my call.
“Buy ‘Temporary Explosive Power’ from the shop.”
-Titling!
[Purchase complete!]
[With the effect of ‘Temporary Explosive Power’, the strength stat becomes A rank for about 10 minutes.]
Looking at the message, I memorized a small incantation.
“Blink×4”
At the same time, my body blinked,
Appeared right in front of Eren.
“Eww?!”
Alan’s embarrassed expression in front of his eyes.
I clenched my fist at him and said.
“Bite your teeth tight, if you don’t want to lose everything.”
I extracted the highest level of power that could be produced at an A rank and put it into my fist.
Then, before Alan could raise his guard, he landed a neat punch in his bare face.
-bang!!
It was an eerie sound that could hardly be thought of as just a punch.
Through my fist, I feel my nose bone being crushed.
“Keuheuk!??!!”
Alan backs away, grabbing his face.
where to run away
“Blink×2”
The body flickers once again.
This time, it moves behind Alan’s back.
Once again, I put my strength into my fist and punched it towards my waist.
– Wow!!
“Cheukhak!!”
Alan moans in pain.
I kick Alan’s calf and turn Wasabari.
“Heuk!?”
-thud!
Alan falls to the floor.
As he fell, he picked up the missing wooden sword and aimed it at his throat.
“Ugh…”
Alan wriggles and tries to get himself up.
However, it doesn’t seem easy because of the broken back.
There’s no way you can get a clean hit with an A-rank strength punch and still be fine.
A rank is not the name of someone’s dog.
‘As much as it’s good, the points are filthy expensive, but…’
Damn, how do you get 400 points while raising stats for 10 minutes?
In 10 minutes, 80% of the points I had accumulated over the past month were gone.
Should’ve just been patient… It’s a shame…
While I was sobbing, the saintess came screaming.
“Hey, Alan!!”
I said stepping on Alan’s back.
“It’ll be fine. This bastard, his body is unnecessarily strong, so there won’t be any problems.”
“You…!! What the hell did you…!”
“What are you doing…?”
I looked at her with puzzled eyes.
“Then, does what you did make sense? Coming in on a Sunday morning, threatening people, and knocking them out?”
“That’s for investigation…!!”
“Don’t be mean.”
I scratched my voice and cut her off.
“You know, it’s a rumor.”
“yes…?”
The pupils of the saintess looking at me shake.
I knew it.
“In the first place, the devil’s contractor appeared, but there’s no way the saintess wouldn’t notice it. Unless it’s the ultimate devil’s contractor.”
“That, that’s…”
“Did you vaguely know that it was a rumor?”
The saintess’ mouth was tightly shut.
there’s nothing to say It’s a situation where it’s clear to anyone that it’s right or wrong.
“It’s disappointing. Are you really a saint? To be possessed by a single man and to accuse him of being the devil’s contractor?”
“Mo, driving away…! I didn’t mean to do that, just a simple investigation…!”
“Don’t play with words.”
“yes…?”
“If we investigate that the saintess is the devil’s contractor, what will other people think? Even if the results come out, will people believe it? The saintess herself, not just a priest, did the investigation herself? They must be whispering among themselves behind the scenes. “
“Everything, of course, if it’s not, you’ll believe it’s not…”
“ha…”
I grabbed my messy head and sighed.
Well, the saintess at that time was still an immature child.
There is no choice but to be a little different from the light of salvation I know, the saint of the future.
“Saintess, the world doesn’t work that simple. It’s a world where you can be sentenced to death even if you are suspected of being a devil. Since I’m the eldest son of a duke, nothing happened. If I were a commoner, I would have run away long ago.”
“That, that’s…”
It was only then that the saintess seemed to realize her mistake.
She wiggled her fingers for a moment, then lowered her head.
Whoa… How can all the kids look like puberty kids under the age of 20…
Oh, he’s 17 years old.
They were real teenagers.
I said scratching my confused head.
“I know, saintess. You don’t know what it is because you were suddenly appointed as a saintess after living in the countryside.”
At my words, the saintess’ eyes widened.
“How did you…?”
A tomboyish country girl who has been appointed a saint for only three years.
Even though she didn’t want to, she was just a saint chosen by God and forced to sit down.
That was the true identity of the saintess, Lorraine Marlena.
“But even so, I want you to think about the consequences of your actions before taking action.”
“……”
She lowered her head without speaking.
“Ehh…”
I sighed and turned my head to look at Alan this time.
Alan was exhaling as he lay on the floor.
I said, patting him with my foot.
“Don’t pretend to be dead. Your nose must have been attached by now, right?”
“Ugh… what are you…”
Alan seemed to realize that I was not a pact with the devil, perhaps because he had heard the conversation between me and the saintess.
The eyes, which had been full of vigilance and murder until just now, had returned to normal.
“ha…”
It’s good to have passion, but it’s not enough to think soberly…
I sighed and stomped on his back.
“You too, do it in moderation. Ariel just passed out because she passed out. If she was hurt, she would have gone all the way.”
Of course, if I had gone all the way, I would have lost.
As soon as the duration of the ‘temporary explosive power’ is over, he must have been hit like a dog and knocked out.
Even at the beginning of the original work, the main character is the main character.
I lifted the fallen Alan up.
Then he whispered in a low voice that only he could hear.
“If you’ve been chosen as a hero, act like a hero. Don’t act like a mindless berserker.”
Alan’s eyes widened at those words.
That’s right, at this point, no one knows that Alan is a hero except Alan himself.
“You… how…?”
I pushed him toward the saint before he could ask anything more.
“I’m sorry…!”
A saintess who accepts Alan with a small moan.
“That guy, if you treat his back a little, he’ll fly again. Don’t worry.”
After saying that, I turned to the bench where Ariel was lying.
“Now, wait…!”
Alan’s voice that catches me like that.
I turned my head slightly and looked at him.
A trembling pupil.
I said looking into those eyes.
“If you have any questions, come back later. The saintess will come with you.”
“Me… Me…?”
“Yes, we should talk about reparations.”
“Compensation…?”
“Of course, this is compensation for threatening and stunning an innocent person.
As I squinted my eyes, the saintess shook her head.
“Cha, I’ll come find you! Definitely!”
“That’s enough. Come see me tomorrow with Alan.”
I said that and turned around again.
.
.

After taking the fainted Ariel to the dormitory, I walked the streets of the academy.
Who is not the best academy on the continent, the streets of Reynolds Academy, which boasts a monstrous size.
I walked over it and organized the thoughts that came into my head.
Most of them are thinking about ‘the incident’ that will happen in 3 days.
“Whoa… what should I do…”
I sighed and muttered.
Events that occur after 3 days.
‘The Empire’s 1st Princess Assassination Case’
An incident in which several of the heroines of the main character are injured.
At the same time, one of the villain groups of [The Hero Loved by Everyone],
An incident in which the ‘explorers’ begin to appear in earnest.
and…
The case of the death of the first princess of the Empire, Lucy von Lietro.
“……”
Inside, Raiden’s feelings ripple in a complex way.
Lucy von Rietro, former master of Raiden.
After 3 days she…
