chapter 34
34. Society (9)
“Let me use the largest bedroom.”
“Huh! Yeah? Would you?”
Lit had a bizarre reaction to each and every word Lucas said.
“…don’t go out if you can.”
– Otherwise, I don’t know what to do with you.
A futile delusion followed.
I felt like I was drunk.
To be together in the same space, in this insolent space called a hotel.
“Are you listening?”
“yes? yes! of course!”
“······okay. Then rest.”
Lucas, with a somewhat shaky expression on his face, closed the door and disappeared.
However, Lucas’s unique scent lingered around and made her heart flutter.
“Whoa!”
The strange thoughts that kept coming to me were pushed away with a sigh.
I closed my eyes and looked around.
But it seldom calms down.
throat burns
Even after emptying a bottle of water, I was still thirsty.
I found another way to just dampen my throat. There was something caught in Ritt’s eyes like that-
alcohol.
It’s the kind of thing she’d never even put in her mouth.
It burns my throat, and that shiny golden color is particularly tempting.
To relieve this tension, she decided to take just one sip.

. . . stayed up all night with open eyes.
This is because the panic is coming from the thought of what would happen if the Holy Empire took a raid.
coo-coo-
But it sleeps ironically. while snoring. Sure enough, he kindly gave me a warning about the Holy Empire.
I don’t really want to say anything, but why in my bed?
Last night he got drunk and knocked on the door of my bedroom, then took over my bed and fell asleep like that.
I wanted to move it to another room, but this was the best place to be vigilant, and if I let anyone out of this room even a little bit, Ritt cried bitterly.
If it had been a male body, I would have just thrown it away, but it’s also true that it’s a little weaker when the shell is gone.
I had no intention of falling asleep anyway.
This body doesn’t feel tired just because it doesn’t sleep, and there’s Super Recovery, a daily training reward.
I just stared out the window.

My eyes became stiff from looking at <Strengthening my eyesight> all day, but it also made the scenery look beautiful by adding light to the scenery outside the window.
However, in that beautiful landscape, it was also ‘seen’ that the Holy Empire gnomes were watching closely.
Can I face them?
too much
The demons also have the ‘perm’ characteristic of Aurors, and it would be a purely physical fight with them, but if there are only two, they will try to take advantage of their carelessness, but I can’t handle that many people.
It’s just like jumping in to be killed.
I thought about raising the stats, but when I raised my physical strength, strength, and agility to F grade 100, it didn’t go up anymore.
It is self-evident that something must be done to activate the next rank.
The problem is that I don’t have enough time to experiment with that.
To me, a point is like the magic that activates the aura.
It cannot be written randomly.
Unfortunately or fortunately, they were just watching this from a certain distance, and they didn’t see any action.
Now the dawn began to brighten in earnest.
The street began to come alive, and the crowds began to grow.
Yesterday too, the heat of the people was great until late at night, but today the heat seems to have increased.
It was nice for me.
Large crowds mean the same thing that Holy Empire bastards can’t easily get their hands on.
Now I have to prepare for check-out.
“Lit, I know you’re awake.”
Shake!
The blanket vibrates loudly.
However, it seems that he still hasn’t been caught, so he continues acting.
I don’t want to start a pointless fight.
spelled the order.
“If you don’t wake up now, I’ll put the mini-bar you ate on your paycheck.”
“Huh!”
She got up like she was bouncing.
The price of alcohol consumed in one day alone was 30 million gold.
Confused eyes intertwined with mine.
“Wash it. It’s three hours before the lecture starts.”
“Yes, four!”

Today is the last day of the ‘World Combat Science Forum’, the main event, and Professor Lucas’ lecture.
If it were long, it was the day that attracted the most people’s attention during the long conference schedule, and a large number of people flocked to the <Themakan Hall> where the lecture was held.
‘After all lectures, we secure a new recruit for Professor Lucas.’
‘yes.’
Those from the Holy Empire also secured tickets in advance and entered.
Except for the virtual space implemented with the <ARF system>, the <Themakan Hall>, the building that can accommodate the largest number of people on the continent, was packed with people without even the slightest movement, regardless of its reputation.
Compared to the wizards, the displeasure index was increasing in the state where the knights, who could be said to be a little more warlike, were gathered, but surprisingly, order was maintained well.
The reason was that if there was even a slight disturbance, the lecture would be canceled due to President Alan’s insistence that it be cancelled.

Most of the people who came here only to see Lucas’ lecture from afar, so the accusation was effective.
Of course, the lecture will not be canceled just because there is a commotion.
Obviously, it was a threat, not a threat due to Alan’s personal feelings, which he did not like to mix with any noise in Lucas’ lecture.
As much as that, Lucas’ lecture was raising expectations for people.
‘coming.’
‘finally······.’
Lucas finally arrived beyond that door.
The Knights of the Holy Empire were keenly aware of Lucas’s presence.
‘Yeah, what a brilliant lecture you prepared, how many great lectures you prepared with this great thesis, I’ll keep an eye on it, Professor Lucas.’
‘Ah, Principal Lucas! Give us the gift of knowledge!’
‘Really, even if you were born 30 years late, you would still be admitted to Grasco! Then you would have been able to learn directly from Professor Lucas!’
His factions, including Alan, also raised their anticipation to the peak of Lucas’ presence felt outside the door.

Most people were the first to see Lucas in real life.
The video of <Kylan Coffin>, the only way to know the appearance, was not filmed enough to check the face in detail, so there were a lot of questions about its appearance.
There were rumors, but most of them were distorted and transformed during the intermediate process.
‘There were rumors that he was a very handsome man?’
‘Actually, there are parts that are overrated because of that face.’
‘My classmate works in the Royal Knights of Aerok, and he says he’s very handsome.’
‘And those kinds of rumors can’t be trusted, I mean. Isn’t that what’s important anyway?’
That was something that most people who heard the rumors were also aware of.
No matter how exaggerated the rumors were, no matter what Professor Lucas looked like, it wasn’t meant to be disappointing.
‘But does it matter to us?’
‘We don’t care.’
‘But why are you explaining Professor Lucas’ beauty in such detail?’
‘I know? Why did I do that?’
‘Anyway, the key is the lecture itself, which will be demonstrated in this thesis.’
‘then! Sure.’
Each one raised expectations for the lecture and waited for Lucas to open that door.
And finally.
Bump-
The door opened, and a man appeared through the pouring light.
Again – Again –
A very regular gait, neatly trimmed hair, and uncluttered attire.
People saw the existence and thought the same thing.
Rumors about Lucas’ appearance were distorted.
great handsome man? A beauty that attracts people?
It has been reduced too much.
It was not at a level that could be explained by such expressions.
* * *
Clearly, small lectures and such large lectures are different in their intimidation.
It feels like it will be crushed, but I can’t get it out.
I have a lot to learn from this lecture, no matter what happens, especially because of the Holy Empire bastards who are looking down at me from the corner.
“······Nice to meet you. My name is Lucas von Kraus. I teach combat science at Grasco in Aerokk.”
A suffocating silence continued.
It would be less awkward if you gave me a welcome applause. Well, my fault is big.
“I apologize for the delay of the lecture due to my personal schedule.”
He bowed his head lightly.
Isn’t this enough to show sincerity?
When I lifted my head, I saw an old man staring at me with wide open eyes in front of me.
I instantly recognized him.
‘President Alan.’
The head and supreme power of this society.
It was thanks to that old man’s power that I was able to suddenly change the schedule from the first day to the last.
It’s okay to say thank you for this.
Then the atmosphere will be relaxed.
“President Alan.”
I slowly walked up to him and asked him to shake my hand.
The president trembled and took my hand.
This must be a sign of forgiveness.
“I am deeply grateful for the consideration of the President of the Association.”
“this person······!”
It was a light greeting.
But it seems it wasn’t for him.
Alan suddenly became extremely excited, then opened his eyes wide, and…
Whoops!
. . . fell down.
The atmosphere became colder than this.
Still, I have to give a lecture. If this is canceled now, it would be a target for the Holy Empire bastards.
Sweat drips down the back of his neck in embarrassment.
Their gaze is uncomfortable.
The Holy Empire gnomes are becoming more conscious.
Panic is coming.
But at that moment.

The support window of the readers obscured the view.
With that alone, the heartbeat that had been beating wildly calmly subsided, and breathing became easier.
done.
can do enough
He turned to the podium and opened his mouth.
“········Let the lecture begin.”
* * *
Why is it so dark?
I am obviously…
‘I must have been waiting for Professor Lucas’ lecture.’
ah yes Apparently Professor Lucas came in.
It was great.
It was like looking at a work of art. Its posture, its dignity.
But why is it so dark?
It’s only then that you can’t properly watch Professor Lucas’ lecture.
Someone turn on the lights
Come on quickly!
“Come on… turn on the lights… suck… Lee.”
“!#% blind man, do you eat @#%?”
Goyan, what kind of alien language are you talking about when you turn on the lights?
“Hak#@sister!”
“Chairman!”
“Huh!”
A sudden flash of light pierced Alan’s eyes.
“No, what is this… What, this is… is my room. The lecture, Professor Lucas’ lecture at <Themakan Hall>!”
Alan looked around and asked.
In front of them stood those of their faction, with a slightly hazy and a little worried.
“Boo, obviously Professor Lucas opened <Themekan Hall> and came in. and···”
“Yes, I came up to the president and asked the president to shake hands.”
“Yeah, right. That’s how I remember it.”
“After that, he fell.”
“What? down? I?”
“Yes.”
“It was so sudden that we were very embarrassed.”
“Well, what about the lecture?”
“That’s right, that lecture….”
Again, their faces darken.
“Really… it was great.”
“It was fantastic.”
“To the extent that words can’t even put it into words…”
Oh, it’s over.
it’s over
“Hey, president!”
“Chairman!”
Alan fainted again in spite of waking up.
However, if his heart stopped in an unbelievable situation just before, this time it was because of the people in front of him who enjoyed the fantastic lecture, except for himself, because his blood pressure had risen.
