Episode 19 – Revenge (1)
19. Revenge (1)
Tall height, attractive face, always polite.
And decent magic skills.
Burrow, a first-year Magic Cadet, was a person that everyone liked, regardless of gender.
“Um…Here, the formula in this part was written incorrectly.”
“Oh my, is that so? “I’ve been holding on to this issue for a while… Thank you so much, Burrow.”
“hahahaha. No. “I’m glad it was of help to Lady Laila.”
Even those proud noble wizards treat Burrow without discrimination.
Considering the recent, increasingly severe conflict between nobles and commoners, this was an extremely rare occurrence.
However.
He who looks perfect had a secret.
– My people. How long are you going to make me wait?
“Choi, I will hurry as much as possible…!”
– Yes, always remember who gave you the power you enjoy.
That is, he made a contract with the devil of the demon world.
The reason he, who had mediocre magic skills, was able to enter Elprime Academy was because he became a member of the magical devil.
In exchange for magical skills, the devil asks one thing from him.
It is the periodic offering of the wizard’s soul.
And the more talented the wizard was, the more it was the icing on the cake.
Of course, Burrows intended to faithfully carry out the request.
‘How did I get here…? ‘You must never disappoint Him.’
Burrow ponders his plan.
Elprime Academy, home to the empire’s greatest geniuses, is full of young, talented wizards.
This means that there is an abundance of wealth that meets the devil’s demands.
‘···But it would be ridiculous to mess with a noble.’
If you mess with a nobleman, I can’t handle it.
Naturally, Burrow’s gaze turns towards the commoner cadet.
Burrow was thinking of a way to lure out a commoner cadet.
He comes up with a plausible idea.
‘Hmm, now that I think about it, the aristocracy’s hatred has been getting worse lately…’
I guess I should try using this.
* · * *
“Can we talk for a moment?”
‘Finally, it has arrived.’
Aria thought as she looked at Burrow, who spoke to her with a slight smile.
“What’s going on?”
However, Aria did not show the slightest hint that she was waiting and responded coldly as usual.
Burrow continued speaking without being intimidated by her cold gaze.
“I heard that you’ve been going through some not-so-good things these days.”
I took a quick look around.
Burrow lowered his voice even further and spoke like a whisper.
“Don’t you want to give back to them?”
“······.”
“I am the same way. We are gathering people to join us. “If you’re interested.”
Sigh.
In Burrow’s outstretched hand, there was a small note.
“······.”
As if he was troubled by his words.
Aria looked at the note for a moment, biting her lip.
Tap!
I quickly snatched it up.
‘As expected, it doesn’t show on the outside, but it seems like he was very accumulated on the inside.’
Burrow, who was completely fooled by Aria’s acting, was inwardly delighted.
“Okay, that’s enough for me.”
Burrow showed a polite smile until the end and left.
“······.”
After confirming that he had completely disappeared, Aria hurriedly took her steps.
‘I have to show it to the owner quickly~.’
* · * *
“Is this the note he gave you?”
“Yes. “I did well, right?”
“Okay then. “Our aria is great, great.”
“hehehe…”
Like giving a treat to a pet dog that did something unusual.
Leon opened his note with praise pouring out of his mouth.
– Sunday 6 PM. Landville 23-04, building with red sign.
Leon’s face immediately lit up.
“Is this this week? “It’s good because it’s fast.”
I’ve been a bit bored these days, so this event was nice to see.
“If it’s Landville… It’s the outskirts of Elaim, right?”
“That’s right. “It’s the perfect place to do something suspicious.”
As Elaim is a big city, there is a lot to exploit, so the dark side is also developed.
Of course, the central area where the academy is located has good security.
The further out you go, the more common things become.
‘The Ministry of Intelligence said they would strengthen security, but they somehow didn’t catch you?’
No, the intelligence department is just incompetent.
Leon said to Aria, shaking her head.
“I need to prepare quickly. “Let’s go out together tonight.”
Aria nodded her head without hesitation for a second.
* · * *
That evening, Leon and Aria arrived at the outskirts of Elaim.
They were wearing pitch black robes that covered their entire bodies, hoods pulled down, and even masks.
What I’m going to do from now on is that I’ll be in trouble if my identity is revealed.
‘Filling spirit stones and cleaning up trash.’
That’s right.
Leon was looking for wealth to supply souls.
Crossing dimensions is not easy.
In order to summon a demon from the Demon World to Middle Earth, an appropriate amount of wealth was essential.
‘However, we don’t need as much as last time.’
The number of souls used to contract with Bergov was five hundred.
But now the situation is a little different, and that number is not needed.
There were some soul stones left that were filled in Hevilon.
“It’s been a while since you two have been together like this.”
Aria’s eyes, revealed beneath her mask, were beautifully curved into the shape of a crescent moon.
Even though she was walking down a dark alley infested with mice, she seemed quite happy.
Leon looked at her as if he was new to her.
“We often went out to dinner together, right?”
“Hmph. “It wasn’t just the two of us, there were always others.”
Aria glanced at Leon pointedly and pursed her lips.
“······That’s right.”
Leon scratched his head awkwardly.
Whenever we went somewhere, Carotene and Celia were always there, and Liana often went with them.
‘I guess I was a little disappointed.’
Covering her face, she was walking in a dark place.
Arya seemed to think of the two of them walking around together like in Hevilon.
“Next time, where will you two go?”
At that time, Leon was trying to make an appointment with her to comfort her.
aaah!
A woman’s scream was heard in his sensitive ears.
“Aria, this way.”
“Two, two…?”
Paaat!
Leon kicked the ground and ran out into the alley toward 9 o’clock.
“Eight, really.”
Aria sighed at the damn timing and ran after him.
Pazzzzz!
Mana crackling like electric current coiled around her body.
Tadadat!
Soon, her running speed was as fast as Leon’s.
It was the body strengthening magic that Aria was most confident in.
Leon and Aria arrived at the epicenter of the scream as quickly as the wind.
“aaa!!”
“Stay still, b*tch!”
“Stubborn. “Why don’t we just give him some medicine?”
With five giggling men.
A shopping cart rolling around in the corner.
Shedding bloody tears.
A beautiful off-white woman with half of her clothes removed.
And.
The corpse of a man lying coldly with his head blown off.
“······.”
Leon’s eyes sank slightly as he immediately grasped the situation.
Grumbling.
The sword was pulled out of Leon’s scabbard.
I guess it was only then that I felt like I was popular.
The man who was taking off the woman’s clothes looked behind her.
“······What!? “Since when did this bastard-“
Wheeik! Swish!
Leon’s Celestial Sword lightly slashed the air twice.
Puhuaaak!
It was enough to cut off all of her man’s limbs.
“Uh, huh?! Kwaaa!!!!!”
The man rolling on the floor, spouting her blood, with only her upper body remaining.
Leon grabbed the guy’s head and placed her spirit stone between his eyes.
“I’ll write well?”
Without any hesitation.
Leon plunged his sword into her man’s neck in one go.
Phew!
White smoke escaped from the head of a dying man.
Like a piece of metal sticking to a magnet.
The smoke was neatly sucked into the spirit stone.
Wow!
The soul stone that consumed the soul vibrated slightly and its color turned slightly red.
“Just one thing.”
Leon stood up with an eerie glow.
“””······.”””
The rest of the men looked at the scene in fascination.
“······Um, kill that bastard!!!”
He came to his senses late and ran towards him, holding a long wooden block in his hand.
The one who responded to this was Aria.
Pazuzuzu!
Her fist wrapped with mana like a tornado.
It got stuck in the abdomen of the man who attacked first.
Boo!
The body of the man who had hit her in the solar plexus bent into a ‘>’ Shape and flew behind her.
Binggrrr!
Let Aria’s body spin smoothly like a top.
Wheeik! Swish! Shoo!
The trees that were aiming at her cut through her air in vain.
Blue electricity erupted from between her robes that were fluttering like wings.
Kwazizijik-!
A bright blue glow that dispels the darkness of the alley.
They fell all at once due to the wide-area magic that swept across the front in a fan shape.
“aaa!!”
Leon quietly admired.
‘As expected, Aria. ‘Her skills are second to none.’
Leon patted Aria on the shoulder, saying she did well, and approached the fallen guys.
“······.”
Like looking at an animal or an insect.
Cold eyes looking down at those scurrying around.
Leon no longer saw them as the same person.
“I know well where scumbags like you gather. First come first served. Kill all the rest. “Did you see what happened to your friend earlier?”
Leon twirled his sword as if he wanted to stab Era at any moment.
“Hey, me! Me!”
“I know – what a f*cking bastard!”
The guy with the most tattoos on his body was the fastest.
There was no loyalty to them.
“Hmm…”
Leon looked at the guy for a moment, then nodded at the face that looked like it belonged to an organization.
“Passed.”
Leon approached the rejected candidates, holding a spirit stone in his left hand and a sword in his right.
“Now, wait!”
“f*ck you for a moment.”
Hook! Sigh! Sigh!
The sound of splitting fabric rings three times.
Leon’s sword and soul stone turned even more red.
“······.”
But, the reddest thing among them were his eyes.
Red-red eyes shining between the hood and mask.
It’s like that of a ferocious beast.
The crotch of the tattooed man who made eye contact with him became wet.
“Guide me. “If you don’t do it right… You know?”
“Yes, yes…!”
That night, two gangs in the back alleys of Elaim disappeared completely.
