105. Reinforcement is a gamble (2)

“It must be an illegal awakening.”

“Perhaps. Because no one else would do this without them.”

“You bastards…! What’s wrong with the kid?”

The teachers of the academy went dry with worry about the three kidnapped children.

It was difficult to accept the protests of the people dispatched from the families of the abducted children, but as each day passed, I worried about whether the children would be safe.

“What on earth does the criminal want? If it’s to use for a crime, honestly, there’s no reason to kidnap an academy student.”

In this world, there are places that do not receive proper protection even though they are Awoken.

It is an orphanage that protects the illegitimate children of nobles.

If the criminals wanted to use awakened children for their crimes, they should have targeted the illegitimate children of the orphanage rather than the academy students.

If you touch an academy student, the country will move to find the culprit.

“All of the kidnapped children have promising talents.”

“!!!”

“Then do you think you kidnapped the children to raise them, not simply to use them for crime?”

Kidnapping children and raising them as illegal awakenings?

It was absurd.

It wasn’t something you would normally do with guts.

“Or they may have been targeting children with the abilities needed by those criminals in the first place.”

“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.”

If it’s the latter, it means that the information of the academy students has entered the criminals, and then it means that there is an assistant to the criminal organization inside the academy.

I wasn’t sure whether I should inform the dispatched engineer or check it internally.

“Let’s inform the department head first.”

The teachers reported their guesses to the department heads.

“We cannot continue to uphold the student curfew. Head of department.”

“Some of the students will definitely break it.”

“Hmm… that’s a big problem. It’s not worth it to keep watching the academy get swayed by criminals.”

After confirming the detailed situation with the teachers, the department heads made a decision through a meeting of department heads.

“It would be better to lift the curfew after the exam is over.”

“And for the time being, I will impose a blockade on the city.”

“!!!!”

blockade order.

No one can enter or leave this city.

It was not an easy decision to make because it affected people living in the city.

However, the department heads were acting more resolutely than expected.

“It would have been better if the dean was present, but after gathering opinions among ourselves, we came to the conclusion that it was right to act decisively.”

We discussed and discussed what would be the best way to keep the children safe.

The dean is away, saying that he is taking a break for the time being because of his job as the owner of the general store in Ashhu.

Now, the only people who can solve this difficult task are the heads of departments.

“Maybe exposing children to crime. Is that okay?”

“Criminals are now hiding like rats. Students who can kidnap are hiding in the academy anyway, so there is no reason to come out.”

But what if the stay-at-home order is lifted?

“They have no choice but to come out of the rat hole to get food.”

“From now on, the teachers will take turns patrolling every corner of the city. And we will roam the dark corners of the city in secret.”

While the criminals are distracted by the teachers’ patrols.

The heads of departments were thinking of rescuing the child by moving themselves.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Jjook!

Put the lollipop in your mouth and roll it! said Hash, who sucked and spat out with a sound.

“You know what? It’s been a while since I came here?”

“It’s because of the test.”

“It’s not because of the exam! A very serious crime is happening out there right now.”

“Are you talking about a lockdown?”

An order came from the academy and a blockade was imposed on the entire city.

You may want to ask which academy imposes a city blockade, but it is possible here.

It was a city made because the academy was located here, and it was because the economy was driven by the students studying at the academy.

“Yes. They kidnapped a young nobleman!! It’s scary, right? It’s scary!”

“Yeah, that’s a big deal.”

“Ah! Are you going to say that? Just because kids my age have become targets of crime?”

what do you mean

I’m not going to be the target of a crime.

“If it’s that dangerous, shouldn’t you have come here? What kind of guts do you have to walk around?”

“The driver and the teacher are going around and taking care of the public order. And if the culprit shows up, it’s great! I’ll catch it!”

wow.

You’re a typical Jammin who gets into trouble.

“Do you want to be scolded by your parents like that?”

“Heung! Who else can save a friend if it’s not me?”

Hash is starting the engine to cause an accident.

When he was in this state, there was only one person I knew who could dry him.

“Where’s your best friend?”

“Nairell went because he had to go home.”

“House during the semester? Wasn’t that impossible? What about the lockdown?”

“He’s an exception to the blockade order. They said he had to do it because there was a request from the military. They said it was very urgent.”

“A little kid already getting a request from the military?”

“The knights brought it with me, so there won’t be any danger.”

Hash shrugged and continued.

“Even though he’s young, he’s confident in his abilities. In particular, Neirel is from the plant kingdom, so he’s often called here and there. She says that even plants she’s never seen before can tell what kind of effect they have.”

“You’re competent.”

It’s a great ability.

If the alchemists had Neirel’s ability, they would have gone crazy.

Hash’s nose rises, probably because he feels good knowing his friend’s competence.

“Why are you so proud? Oh, and then your nose will get longer.”

“hehehehe, bragging about friends is always fun!”

“I don’t think this is the time to brag about your friends. Until Nerel comes back, listen carefully to the teacher and don’t get into trouble. Don’t go around chasing around alone and get kidnapped.”

“I told you! I’ll freeze them right away when the criminals show up!”

They clenched their fists and punched in the air, but none of them were threatening.

Seeing him set up like that, he seemed to think he could deal with a real criminal organization.

‘In a movie, a kid like him is caught by a criminal organization and kidnapped.’

Probably not.

I’ll have to check to see if I’m going to the academy today.

It’s more damaging to send it off because it’s annoying and then the problem gets bigger.

“I’ll take you there, so wake up when you finish the candy.”

“Ehh? Go already? I just came!”

“You’ve finished eating. I’ll take you there, so get up.”

All he did when he came here with Neirel was chat with me and eat something good.

The boat was already plump, so it seemed better to take it early.

“Why do you keep trying to send it back?”

Hash asks with clear eyes full of wonder.

“In this situation, going late for no reason will be a big problem. Go early.”

“You don’t have to do that at all? Do you think I’m Anne?”

“You’re right. And if you disappear, it’s because I’m in trouble? Imagine that you went to see me and then disappeared. Who would the teachers there suspect?”

“Why am I disappearing!

Agjak- Ahgjak-

I chew on the candy I sucked on with my teeth.

At the same time, he sticks out his chubby belly as if he won’t listen to me, but it’s not threatening at all.

“And if I go, I go. Why is the man taking me?”

“Because it’s dangerous.”

“Ahahahahaha!!”

Suddenly, Hash grabs his stomach and starts laughing.

Power went into my fist.

It was obvious what the guy was laughing about.

‘I want to hit you at least once.’

Since it’s telekinesis anyway, you won’t be able to see it, so should I hit just one?

While I was in conflict, Hash said with tears in her eyes.

“Because I’m a nobleman? If a criminal attacks us, I have to save him. But he’s talking nonsense.”

“I should know, but he said he would take me there because there would be less danger if I moved with an adult.”

I didn’t even want to tell Hash that I was an Awakener, so I ignored Jammin who laughed at me and came out of the general store.

The general store owner said he was leaving, but there was no way he wouldn’t be able to catch up.

“Ah! Let’s go together!”

As expected, Jammin is chasing after me like that.

When an unexpected situation arises, there is a big difference between having an adult by your side and not having one.

Whether or not I have the strength to resist them.

“I haven’t lost yet!”

“…..”

“I was going to play more and go.”

“No. From now on, don’t come out and play inside the academy.”

I don’t know what kind of criminal organization it is, but it means that it’s an unusual place to kidnap noble children.

Doesn’t that at least mean that all of those criminals have the ability to kidnap the Awoken?

‘It must be a criminal organization created by an illegal awakened group.’

In the main scenario, there is a story about a criminal organization formed by illegal awakeners.

If the kidnapping case involved a criminal organization I knew, it was certain that it was not serious.

‘At least they weren’t extras once they came out. It’s because they constantly came out and disturbed me.’

Isn’t being human really stupid?

There are people who can’t stand their selfish desires and commit crimes for their own personal gain even while the polluted area is threatening mankind.

After walking out of the general store alley, I see students sparsely.

Normally, there should be a lot more students going around.

“Look. There are no students wandering around as if everyone went back early, right?”

“That’s right. I thought the teachers would go around a lot because they go around catching strange people…”

“Especially a kid like you is almost dead. Your guts are too big.”

Hash, who grumbled that he was returning too early, also showed a slight pecking as if he felt uncomfortable looking at the quiet road.

Instead of taking a shortcut where people are rare, they moved to the academy by using the side of a large road.

It was necessary to be careful because there was a high probability of crime in an alley with few people.
