chapter 26
Episode 26 Being Misunderstood
The next day, the day of the preliminaries for the martial arts competition.
Krache wiped his face with an expression more tired than ever.
“You’re just getting into trouble.”
Krashu couldn’t even answer the voice of Crimson Garden who laughed and giggled next to him.
From yesterday’s day to this morning.
It was because Krasch had been harassed by Sizli.
‘This is why I hate geniuses.’
Especially when it comes to the brain.
As I took away the information about her family and her family, who only talked about her, my spirits were quickened as I was arguing with her.
So, I wanted to quickly finish the dance competition and go back.
I didn’t know if it was Valheim if it went any further.
“Now!”
At that moment, along with a voice, a boy with a club attacked him from behind.
You are too young to raise your voice on the subject of a surprise attack.
Krashu raised his arm without even pulling out his sword and struck the chin of the leaping candidate.
“Keah!?”
Then the guy fell to the floor with a scream.
Krache stomped on the boy’s abdomen without mercy, and the boy’s eyes were turned upside down.
“Wow, how many? Why.”
“That narrow-eyed monster.”
“Besides, what is that crow? It moves like that, but it doesn’t come off your shoulder.”
Hearing Krashu’s voice, he turned his head, and those who made eye contact with him backed away with a grim expression.
“It’s scary. It must be from the underworld.”
“Look at the confirmation kill. It just sparks.”
The place where Krashu is now is none other than the preliminary test site.
The feature of this qualifier is the fierce competition.
It was a preliminary match where 100 people were divided into teams and only the top 4 among them could compete.
In such a preliminaries, Krashu was full of leisure to the point of being distracted.
As if to prove that Krashu’s efforts were not in vain, he reigned as a strong man here.
‘Let’s pretend that we are strong among 15-year-olds. How strong he must be.’
At his age level, there weren’t many people who could compete with Krashu.
How much more, all those who will enter Rachellen Academy are missing.
‘Where there are no tigers, foxes rule.’
Having no pride in himself, Krashu commented that.
Because he saw real geniuses, he was the best at self-objectification.
“Ha ha ha! Why are you standing there Fools! Everyone dies!”
“Aagh! Run away!”
“It’s a monster!”
Of course, there were those with skills among them.
Right now, for example, a muscle pig running like crazy like a buffalo right now.
It was impossible to stop a guy with such a huge size that anyone under the age of 15 couldn’t stop him just by charging.
And that wasn’t all.
It was because the movement of the aura around his body was moving in detail.
‘That guy is probably.’
I remember that he was one of the guys who entered Rachelleen Academy through a martial arts competition.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name.
No matter how half a penny Krashu is treated, he is Balheim.
Because there were few things to do with commoners.
“Ha ha ha!”
But that laugh is a little loud.
Perhaps even the sound contains an aura. When Krashu, who had a prickling ear, looked at him, his eyes met.
At that moment, his eyes widened.
“What are you looking at!”
And the words that followed made Krashu’s eyebrows twitch.
“I looked at you. It’s a pig.”
Krashu did not tolerate the provocation.
Then, the muscle pig’s forehead wrinkled.
“Pig? Pig! Who is the pig!”
And immediately, it started a physical charge towards Krashu.
It was certainly intimidating to see him running with confidence in his huge body.
However, that is only at the human level.
In the erosion of the world, people are just small animals no matter how big they are.
As evidence of that, Krashu was just staring at him even though he was right in front of him.
“Search!”
A moment when the muscle pig thrusts his shoulder and tries to blow away Crash as it is.
Wow!
He was forced to a halt with the dust rising under his feet.
With just the hand that Krache stretched out and pressed his head.
The bastard’s eyes went numb once.
Looking closer, Krashu smiled slowly as he stared at the pretty naive guy.
“Is strength fighting chess?”
And the moment Krashu’s fist was clenched,
f*ck!
The bastard’s face was crumpled into Krashu’s fists.
Kudangtang! Quaang!
He floated up in the sky and tumbled across the floor.
His face was shattered, his front teeth were missing, and his eyes were being turned inside out.
Since the village policeman was also put in, his consciousness was completely blown away.
Sahah-
Seeing that scene, the stadium was enveloped in silence for a moment.
The children looked at Krashu and the muscle pig alternately with wide eyes.
It was because he couldn’t believe that Krashu, who was much smaller than a muscle pig, had blown him up with one shot.
And Krashu crumpled his face at the children’s gaze.
“Have you seen it?”
At that moment, the children started fighting among themselves again.
Among the children, no one thought to touch Krashu any more.
Because the moment I touched him, I thought the tournament was eliminated.
“Puhahahaha, this is a masterpiece.”
In the meantime, a voice bursting into laughter came from behind Krashu.
There stood a man with a black bandage wrapped around his face.
He is quite tall, as if he had come of age, and he smiled through the bandages when he saw Krache.
“Why are you laughing?”
He didn’t want to ask the prickly Krashu if it wasn’t a person he favored.
But even though he had just seen Krashu’s dance, he wasn’t intimidated in the slightest.
“Well, since a funny friend appeared, I have no choice but to laugh. Is it you The friend I spent this time in Night Crow, which is famous for assassination.”
And Krashu said what kind of nonsense he was talking about.
‘Night crows are the most dangerous group behind the empire.’
Did they send people to this martial arts contest?
No matter how hard Krashu was, he couldn’t know every single thing within the empire.
‘But I’ve never heard of night crows at Rachelleen Academy?’
Will the empire admit the night crow just because he was crazy in the first place?
However, Krashu knows that there is one variable in the Empire.
‘Sigrin Efania.’
She is the damn third princess who must have inherited the memories of the same episode as herself.
I felt cheap.
She has a feeling that she might be doing something on the back of Empire.
Because the fall of the empire had no influence behind it.
“I don’t know what the misunderstanding is… ….”
“Do not pretend. That hoodie on her shoulder is proof.”
Crows are evidence.
Krashu glanced at Crimson Garden.
Thanks to this guy, she seemed to have misunderstood.
“Besides, the dubious aura emanating from you is clearly from the back world.”
Thanks to Darling’s transformation medicine, it seems that even the appearance added to the misunderstanding.
“Don’t worry. Because I have no intention of holding you back. Just by looking at your back belly, there are probably no more guys to touch.”
He grinned as he said that.
“Let’s do well together from the same back world.”
After saying his own thing, he shook his hand and walked away.
After looking at that for a while, Krashu was deep in thought alone.
‘A talent born from night crows.’
I don’t know whose series it is.
‘I definitely get the feeling that the variables are going to get dirty.’
That’s also in a very unpleasant direction.
‘I’ll have to check it out.’
* * *
After the preliminaries, Krashu proudly remained among the four members of the group.
It was thanks to no one attacking Krashu after he smashed the muscle pig.
So, Krashu didn’t consume much of his stamina.
That kind of Krashu was chasing someone right now.
Who is that someone?
It was none other than the bandaged man I talked to earlier.
‘It must be the guy behind the scenes.’
Krashu has never been to the back side of the Empire.
I’ve only heard about it a few times, but I don’t know exactly how they move.
Because Krashu, who is not even a member of the Empire, cannot know everything about the Empire.
So Krashu decided to go behind his back to find out the back side of the empire.
“Do you really need to bother me like this?”
Just like that, Krashu clung to his back alley while moving.
Crimson Garden immediately spoke to me.
“Are you bothering me?”
“Something like trampling.”
Krashu blinked.
Then his expression asked what else could be done.
“Tsk tsk, you only know how to learn from me, but you don’t know how to use it. Like an ugly disciple.”
At that moment, Crimson Garden spread its wings and flew up.
She flew through the air in an instant and landed in front of a bandage.
“What, a crow?”
The bandaged man walking down the alley stopped in surprise when he saw Crimson Garden.
At that moment, the bandaged man reacted roughly to his shoulder once.
As Krache belatedly approached, the bandaged man stood there blankly.
“What did you do?”
“It is light brainwashing magic. In this state, I will answer all your questions.”
I knew Crimson Garden was versatile, but was such a thing possible?
Certainly, if this was the case, he wouldn’t have bothered to follow.
“Hey, the bandaged man.”
When Krashu called out to him, the bandaged man stared at him blankly.
Seeing him like that, Krashu immediately threw a question.
“What happened to the night crow?”
“The Night Crow was on the brink of destruction not too long ago.”
At that moment, news of the annihilation of the night crows came from his mouth.
“It was destroyed? I heard that the night crow participated in a dance competition.”
“Because it was the order of the new master to destroy them and put them under his feet.”
Hearing that he was the owner of the night crow, Krashu asked to confirm while showing his doubts.
“Is that Sigryn Efania?”
Sigryn was the only one capable of such a thing.
“No.”
But the answer that came back was different.
“No?”
“Yes, it was the 2nd prince who destroyed the night crow and obtained it.”
Krashu’s eyes furrowed.
‘The second prince has a night crow?’
Krashu’s eyes became even more suspicious.
The 2nd prince was already eaten by the 1st prince, and his power was called.
I couldn’t understand why he swallowed a night crow.
‘And in the first place.’
Krashu knows the secret of the night crow.
‘And the real back ship was the imperial family.’
A night crow that is even called an assassin’s house with a joke.
They are from the back side of the empire, but they are a group specializing in assassination enough to be called a family.
What does it mean that they are exceptional at assassination?
‘A place that does all the dirty work for the empire.’
Their specialty is assassination.
So, they were a group that carried out assassinations with missions for a large amount in various places.
They have only one characteristic, that they have something related to crows.
The rumor spreads so much that it’s even said that wearing a crow print is safe when walking around the back alleys.
‘And the imperial family took advantage of that.’
The imperial family was looking through the crows to see which nobles were using the crows and keeping each other in check.
The imperial family cleverly used the crow to naturally control the power among the nobles.
This is a fact unknown until the fall of the empire.
In the empire, no one knew except the imperial family.
So, to say that he was changed to the 2nd prince in the first place was a nonsense story.
Because the original owner of the night crow is none other than the imperial family.
Besides, there was a story that didn’t make much sense before that.
‘Apart from the news of the destruction of the night crows, how does a back alley janitor know that the imperial family is involved?’
There was not one or two strange things.
‘Wait a minute.’
Then, something flashed through Krashu’s mind.
‘Sigrin, it’s two years old.’
Krashu’s eyes furrowed.
‘The woman intends to destroy the second prince in advance to reduce the power of the first prince. This is a rumor deliberately spread.’
Krache’s head rolled quickly.
From Krashu’s point of view, this rumor was intentionally created.
It’s like the 2nd prince swallowed a night crow and plotted something with her.
‘The 2nd Prince was caught in Sigryn’s trap.’
Sigreen deliberately set a trap so that the 2nd Prince could swallow the crow, and the 2nd Prince, who was still aiming for the position of emperor, quickly swallowed the poison called the crow.
The 2nd prince must have thought that she would be able to increase her own power if her circumstances that she held her night crow were known to the outside world.
And Siegrin must have instigated more rumors behind her.
As far as the bandaged man here knows.
Krashu, who had come to a conclusion up to that point, quietly thought.
‘I know it’s a trap to catch the second prince.’
What are you going to do by making a raven swallow you?
The night crow’s specialty is assassination.
Then she said that the second prince would use her night crow to assassinate someone…….
‘Sigrin must have known the first prince well, right?’
He is not a meek person.
It would be impossible to assassinate the 1st prince with a night crow, no matter how the 2nd prince was controlled from behind.
‘Then he’s manipulating the second prince to assassinate someone else.’
Who is the target?
Krashu, who was lost in thought for a while, slowly began to raise his head.
“Gee, f*ck.”
Krashu’s eyes crumpled.
It was because Sigreen found out who he was trying to assassinate through the second prince.
‘Sizli Efania.’
She is the 4th princess.
