Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

139 – Arcius – 4

Actually, I said I would go see my mother, but it wasn’t that easy.

The place where my mother was was not an ordinary place. It is not simply a cabin with a designated location, but a type of dungeon that can only be entered through a specific method.

That he stayed in that dungeon without even coming out.

I guess she didn’t really know Der On’s life or death, or even her face, but it seemed like her mother couldn’t come out of that hut.

Of course, this is literally just a guess, so it could be wrong.

It could have been that it simply didn’t want to come out, so it enjoyed the fun like most dragons and fell asleep.

However, I could clearly feel the affection she was expressing towards me.

Her face as she saw something interesting in front of her, and the expression that changed the moment she realized it was her own child, was a sight that could not easily be forgotten.

So it was right to judge that she could not come out for some reason.

And if that’s the case, it would be right to take it out no matter what method is used.

‘To do that, we must first go to the winter castle.’

Considering that when she first went to the Winter Castle, she sensed me exactly near the mountain range, she must not be able to notice me from too far away.

So, it is right for me to get closer so she can notice that I am back.

It would be better to take her father with her than to go alone.

If Aksy uses teleportation after recovering his magical power, the Winter Castle can be reached in no time. I have never done anything harsh to Dietrich Cardia, the lord of the Winter Castle, so I am sure he will welcome me.

Nevertheless, the reason for taking her father, Katrel Philasia, was simple.

‘Because we haven’t seen each other for quite some time.’

I couldn’t read the emotions on Katrell’s face, but I could feel the longing on Arwen’s face. She seemed to see Katrell in my face.

I’ve only received help so far, and I’ve only had accidents.

Now, isn’t it worth helping the two of you at least once?

“You can move now. Where do you want to go? “Winter Castle?”

“Let’s go to Duke Philasia first. “I need to see my father first.”

“Confirm.”

A proverb flows out of Aksi’s mouth. The mana around me was distorted and black energy enveloped my body.

At the same time, my vision began to blink and I opened my eyes again with a slight tingle.

I was standing at the main gate of the Duke of Philasia.

“W-Who are you?!”

The Duke’s guards slowly approach, wary of the person who suddenly appears.

I looked at the familiar shape of the main gate and mansion for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“Tell it to your father.”

Some of the guards who came close recognized my face and widened their eyes.

“Seo, really?”

“Your son is back now.”

**

“… Deron?”

“Yes, it looks like you are waiting at the front gate with a woman…. What would you like to do?”

“No matter what he has done so far, he is still a member of the Philasia family. “You can’t have a family member standing at the front door.”

Catrel was scribbling through her documents as if she didn’t want to worry about anything.

“But…. I believe vacation is over at the academy now. Is not it?”

“That’s right. “It’s still the beginning of the second semester, so you probably don’t have enough time to come to the Duke’s house.”

The butler looked at Katrell for a moment and then added.

“If you don’t skip the lectures…. “That is.”

Only then did Catrel put down his papers when he heard that the lecture at the Iliad Academy was about to end.

“So, you quit teaching and returned to working as a duke?”

“Yes.”

“That too with a woman?”

“You seemed to have a pretty close relationship….”

Katrell was troubled for a moment by the butler’s words.

I knew that Yogeunrye Deron’s body had become incomparably healthier than before.

The other day, I personally went to the area near the academy to check the rumors that were going around a lot.

When he saw his son with the princess there, and when he faced Deon, who had become much bolder, Katrel was a little happy, although he did not show it.

My son, who has a shorter life than others, seems to be trying to enjoy his short life.

Although we didn’t know the name of his illness, he decided to enjoy his life, so he got rid of most things that could be a distraction to his son.

With that in mind, Katrell suppressed rumors related to Deron for a while.

Still, he carefully listened to the information that came in from time to time.

A point of contact with a saint who disguised herself as a commoner and entered the academy.

Story with the bishop. It attracts the attention of the dean and especially among students.

Even without him seeking information, Deron had already become a celebrity in the social world.

What Katrell can do is to stop the strange rumors related to Deron.

Before, there was no reason to organize things because he had not come out, but now that he has come out of the family, there is a reason.

And facing his son, Katrel felt one thing.

When his son has something he wants. And when something happened that he couldn’t handle, he looked for him.

You may feel sad, but Katrell didn’t really feel that way. Because when he was young, he only used his family name when necessary.

We did not take it indiscriminately and only used it for things we could not afford.

Although the name of the Duke of Philasia was high, he did not want to rest on that.

“Take them inside and tell them to have a meal together.”

So, as Duke, Katrell did not want to be greatly involved in whatever Deron was doing.

“The woman who said he came with us is also there.”

But women were a different matter. No matter how much Katrel tries not to pay attention, he can’t help but be interested in his son’s lover.

Because right away, he too was immersed in a moment of love and still hasn’t been able to forget it.

That’s why. For the first time in a while, he suggested that we have a meal together.

It may be an illusion, but she is the first woman Deron brought home. It would be a good idea to find out what kind of person he is.

Katrel, who arrived at the meal with such a light attitude, felt a familiar energy.

The same dragon energy as his wife.

I felt like I was trying to hide it somehow, but this inevitable feeling of intimidation was something I had already experienced once. That’s why you can be sure.

The woman brought by Deron is a dragon.

**

“What are you thinking?”

This is what Catrel said as soon as he sat down. He said, glaring at me and Aksi alternately.

In particular, I looked at Aksi openly, and his gaze was not kind at all.

“What do you mean?”

“That kid…. No, it might be strange to call him a child. “Because human age may be meaningless to a dragon.”

From the moment the word dragon is mentioned, the atmosphere in the dinner room changes drastically.

I don’t know if he had been hiding it all this time to prevent it from coming out, but Katrel’s energy came out and put strong pressure on Aksi.

It is said that the duke’s military power, known to the public, is not that great.

It doesn’t look like it’s trustworthy.

Is it any weirder to expect Yong’s husband to be an ordinary person?

However, even taking that into account, Katrell’s energy was a little strange.

No matter how much power he hides, he has enough influence on me, who has reached the highest level?

This goes beyond saying that he is simply hiding his power.

At that level, it is at least 6th rank. In other words, it seemed like he was close to becoming a mage or had already reached that level.

The other day, when I had not yet reached the highest level, the spirit of the duke I encountered was so well-organized and hidden that one could easily mistake him for an ordinary person.

After he reaches the top level, when he looks again, he sees that he is completely different.

“… It looks like you’ve grown quite a bit. At this level, it is upper level. “Is it the highest level?”

Katrell’s gaze moves from me to Aksi.

“The use next to it would be at the level of a high-end commercial office.”

“You have quite good eyes.”

“It seems you forgot who the body you have came from.”

If you think about it, yes. This ridiculous talent that Deron possesses. Half of the blood flowing through this body belongs to the man in front of me, Katrel Philasia.

Although the blood of the dragon and the power of the Demon King had a large influence, his influence cannot be ignored.

“So, what were you thinking when you brought the dragon? “I’m sure he didn’t bring you because he was your lover.”

“That’s right. That’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

Before Akshi could say anything, I gave the answer first.

“That’s how it’s going to happen. It’s a ridiculous answer, but that’s not the topic to discuss now. “Do you know what race your mother is?”

“A dragon, especially a white dragon.”

“Yes, White Dragon…. “How do you know that?”

Katrell’s eyes widen. Seeing his father in a rare state of embarrassment, I raised the corner of my mouth.

“Because I saw it in person.”

“You actually met? “Arwen?”

“Yes.”

I briefly told her the story of meeting Arwen in the Winter Castle.

During the battle with the orcs in the winter castle, my mother suddenly showed interest in me. She invited me to her own rare, and in the process even noticed that she was my mother.

Of course, I hid the fact that my illness came from demon energy.

That’s because I didn’t want to talk about things like the devil’s fate or the devil yet.

There will come a time when I can speak, but not now. Honestly, who would believe that the devil was trying to be resurrected in my body and that I stopped him?

It is better to show that the disease is slowly healing and that it appears to have healed naturally.

Since you already noticed that it has reached the highest level, it would be enough to explain in this regard.

“Arwen is in the Winter Castle….”

After hearing the whole story, Katrell stood up from his seat.

And he said.

“Then I will go to the winter castle.”

Even I widened my eyes at the sudden progress. Of course, I was planning on taking him to the Winter Castle, but I didn’t expect him to accept it so quickly.

However, despite my embarrassment, Katrell quickly organized his schedule.

The butler who assisted him also helped him tidy up without any objection when he said he was going to see his mother. It seemed like he had experienced this only once or twice.

“If it’s a dragon, it can at least use teleportation.”

He finished preparing for the trip in about two hours at most.

It was a time when Akshi’s magical power had not fully recovered.

“I already used teleportation twice before coming here, so I can’t use it right now….”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Aksy looked at Katrell with a puzzled expression. Before Aksy could say anything, Katrel whispered to the butler, and the butler bowed his head and entered the mansion.

After that, what the butler who came out of the mansion brought were high-purity magic stones.

These are magic stones of the highest quality that would cost tens to hundreds of millions if sold at auction.

Katrell put the magic stone down on the floor and spoke to Aksi.

“Use whatever you want.”
