NOVEL NEXT chapter 4
4. Appointment of professors (4)
“Don’t draw that sword. Die.”
At Lucas’ cool warning, the heart of ‘Shadow’ sank.
‘how?’
It was clearly referred to as a ‘sword’.
How did he know he was about to draw his sword?
No one has ever seen his sword. This is because it is one of the ‘new spirits’ that do not exist in the real world, but exist in another dimension. It was common for most people to end their lives by decapitation before they even knew it.
But the man in front of him is different.
Even before he drew his sword, he recognized the existence of the divine.
“Ah ha ha ha ha!”
Romelo burst out laughing out loud whether he knew the heart of ‘Shadow’.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you panic, yes. What do you think of Sir Lucas?”
“It’s a strength that I can’t fathom.”
The shadow spoke without hesitation.
“Then if Sir Krauss does harm to me, can you stop it?”
“… … .”
‘Shadow’ bit his lips.
In addition to the natural sense of intimidation, it was an unfathomable force.
If this man seriously attacks, will he be able to stop it?
“Even if I give my life completely, I cannot guarantee it.”
It was an honest feeling.
He was even given a shinigami to protect the king, but even if he used that power to the full, he could not guarantee the man in front of him. A strength that doesn’t feel deep.
If you can’t measure even a strong person like you, what level has he reached?

My fingernails dig into my skin in my clenched fists.
“It has been Do not forget that resentment and polish it.”
“I’m sorry.”
The eyes of ‘Shadow’ quietly captured Lucas.
* * *
‘Don’t look at me like that, kid. I’m afraid.’
Fortunately, the sword was removed, but after that, that guy was staring openly at me. Even blood drips down his fist. I think I’m going out of my mind
Still, the king is far away from this situation, and he is smiling as if it were something else.
“Now, the threat doesn’t work anymore. What do you do with this?”
Romero’s face, speaking as if in trouble, didn’t look troubled at all. Rather, he was making a face like a troublemaker, aiming for something.
Romero already knows that I have other meanings. So, it means that you are going to lose.
‘First, I must protect my life. So I can never go to Igner. second. I must make meat shields to protect me. So my answer is… … .’
It’s earlier than the original story, but this choice is the only way I can survive.
“Excuse me, but Aerokk is weak. Even if I get a win from Igner, it will be a problem after that.”
“Try to hide the words of Kyung-eun!”
‘Shadow’ was outraged, but it’s true. Because, I wrote the situation.
The Battle of Igner ends with both factions collapsing.
The problem is after that.
Starting with Igner, the front keeps getting closer and closer to Erok. Mercury becomes increasingly heavy, and eventually becomes the starting point of the destruction of Aeroc, starting with Grasco.
This means that Igner is not the problem right now.
“done. ‘Cause that’s what I felt too Sir Krauss, then, do you have any plans to solve the problem after that?”
… … Also.
Romero, even that king’s bastard knew that the situation wouldn’t get any better if the fire called Igner was put out.
Of course, for me, the way to solve the problem is… … .
none.
In the beginning, Aerokk was a kingdom created for destruction.
It is a fuse that will signal the beginning of a war that extends to the continent.
Of course, it is a crisis that cannot be overcome.
“… … there is.”
But here ‘Yes? There’s nothing like that?’ It won’t help me. ‘Then turn it off as Igner ^^’ The answer is sure to come back.
Again, the most important thing is whether this body is alive or dead.
I don’t know how Lucas might have survived the Battle of Igner, but I don’t know what will happen if I go. You could call it avoidance. When the main character falls behind, the novel ends. It was more likely that my neck would be zero before the number of starters was zero.
So I have to stay away from Igner as much as possible.
“It’s about nurturing high-quality troops.”
That is why I had to become a professor at Grasco sooner than I had planned.
Grasco’s professor can be completely out of line.
“Even now, our Aeroques are nurturing high-quality troops, aren’t they?”
“Not enough. Although Grasco students are receiving a systematic education, they do not receive the best education.”
“Why do you think so?”
After that, the bottom rice was all laid out.
From here on, you have to be careful with your words so you don’t go wrong.
“Because the strongest of Aerokk and the one closest to him are not in Grasco, but in this audience.”
Romero’s eyes lit up.
“Great, ha ha ha ha! That’s right, I ate one. Yes, Grasco is a prestigious school, but the level of the professors is far inferior to those of the two of you. Cancer, not like that.”
“I will go and raise them.”
With my meat shield.
“You have a point. All right, I will appoint you as professor at Grasco right away.”
… … done!
There is no need to be dragged into war, and in the future, you can directly train escorts to protect you.
I skimmed through the settings of ＜Academy’s Genius Stupid> that came to my mind, and picked up information that might be helpful for my meat shields.
‘Yeah, that’s enough room for me to intervene.’
A moment filled with hope.
“But, take this friend to Grasco too. You have to make him stronger.”
… … Oh shit!@$#%.
* * *
The audience where Lucas left.
‘Shadow’ neither understood nor wanted to understand the king’s orders.
“You have a face full of doubts.”
Romero opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry.”
“If your seat is vacant, what will ‘Shadow’ do, and who will be my escort? … right?”
“That’s right.”
Although it is said that he is covered with a veil, his presence is cut deep into this realm.
Now that I have come, I cannot leave the place.
Above all, the ‘shadow’ was born to protect Romero.
I’ve never thought of working separately in a place other than by his side.
“It’s up to me to figure it out.”
“However… … .”
It’s too dangerous.
Wasn’t he the master who lived his whole life threatened with life?
If you don’t protect Romero in this warlike castle, who will protect you?
The very meaning of his existence was shaken.
Romero looked at the confused ‘shadow’ and opened his mouth.
“I will ask. What is your top priority?”
“To protect your majesty… … no see.”
“Did you say you could protect me from the author?”
“… … no.”
“That is why I am sending you to the author’s side. go and learn Be strong enough to protect me at any time from the author or from something stronger than the author. This is my name.”
‘Shadow’ knelt down.
“God, Dean. I obey your orders.”

[Notice of change of preference
[2->6]
[LIFE TIME: 2 months -> 6 months]
[A new notification has arrived.]
[9134 donated 100 gold.]
“Ha, sir… … .”
Although the headache was clinging to me, I was annoyed by the fact that I couldn’t just be annoyed.
‘The good news is that the time has increased to half a year and gold has been created.’
However, LIFE TIME only represents ‘necessary death’ and does not include natural death. If I’m not careful, I could die within that time.
But now I have to live with that risk.
‘I can’t keep fooling his eyes. I have to find a way, a way… … .’
You can’t just have good eyes.
Shouldn’t I show you something at least once?
Besides, the way he looked at me was unusual. Not on the good side, but on the very, very damn bad side.
If you find out that I have deceived the king and the bastard until now, I will draw out that sword and cut my throat.
‘Why have I put a setting like the curse of the bow… … .’
Due to the racial nature of Lucas, this combination of a ranged weapon such as an eye and a bow is truly fantastic.
It is because of this that only a small number of his people have survived until now.
However, in order to drive Lucas out of the race, I created an absurd constraint called the curse of the bow.
I don’t know if I can use a sword, but I can’t use it well… … .
‘for a moment.’
Then my mind flashed.
‘There is a possibility.’
It’s a hypothesis that just came to mind, but it’s a possibility.
“Speed up.”
“all right.”
He urged the driver to speed up the carriage.
“I have arrived… … .”
As soon as we arrived, we hurriedly opened the door, left behind the servants who came to meet us, and ran straight to the dance hall inside the mansion.
‘If I’m right… … .’
I grabbed a suitable iron sword.
It felt heavy, but it wasn’t heavy to lift.
He took the iron sword and approached the wooden doll on the other side. Then, holding the handle, he pointed his sword toward the head of the kokeshi-
Shoo!
The head of the kokeshi exploded with a roar like a bomb exploding.
“Heh heh heh heh.”

My prediction was correct.
A bowman is a strength character, not an agile one.
Even if they were cursed by the bow, they did not go anywhere to the unique power of the tribe.
Although the sharpness had decreased, the destructive power was enough to make his whole body tremble.
“Is this okay?”

Maybe it’s overflowing enough to avert my eyes once in a while.

“Hey, I mean, I figured it out this time too.”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Romero also attached a dark escort to Lucas on his way back to the mansion. Of course, this time for surveillance purposes, not for escort purposes.
However, he noticed the presence of the escort in the dark, and while speeding up the carriage to end the surveillance in a hurry, he went straight to the dance hall and exploded the head of the kokeshi as if it was a forceful demonstration. With a shock wave enough to make the earth reverberate.
“’Is this enough?’ … .”
Besides, Lucas knew exactly why he was sending Deyan with him. He came up with an answer satisfactory enough to answer both of the reasons he was worried about.
“Yes, Sir Krauss. That was it.”
A smile spread across Romero’s lips.
