I Became a Genius by Running Away From the Academy

49 – After the big commotion, time to clean up (6)

An arrogant question.

“Well, I don’t know that. But I can say with confidence that it is a proposition worth thinking about.”

Rias did not dodge him and squarely attacked him from the front.

Sug-

“What I will give you in exchange for your alliance is something that will definitely help you, and at the same time, it is something only I can give you in this world.”

Rias said with her hand on her chest.

“What do you know about me that you say will help me?”

“If you continue this conversation, you will come to know about it naturally.”

One by one, step by step.

Without shrinking or impatient, Rias negotiated with the ghost to get what he wanted.

Her Past Upon seeing Rias, who had her first encounter with her ghost and her conversation, Yorbi described her as her ignorant childlike child.

But unlike Yorbi’s assessment, Rias wasn’t completely stupid or naive.

Nevertheless, the reason Yorbi felt that way after seeing Rias was simply because of the difference in personality between the two.

If Yorbi chooses to take a step back from an unknown person, Rias will step closer and extend his hand, continuing the negotiations with trust and trust, not distrust and doubt.

‘Really…… I can’t stand it, young lady.’

Once again realizing that fact, Yorbi gave a small smile.

Koktak-

“You speak well.”

At the same time, the ghost’s head turned slightly to the side.

“It’s a little bit, but I’m interested in the conversation.”

Even the ghost’s nonchalant words, Rias was not disappointed.

Finding a little light and raising him was her specialty.

“Then, before we start the conversation, there is something I want to tell you first.”

Rias took a deep breath after saying her words.

This isn’t the first time a big deal has happened.

However, it was the first time I tried to say something close to provocation to a person like a ghost in the current situation.

So naturally, her hands trembled.

‘But I have to.’

Rias, who had captured her heart, spit out the words she had elaborated several times inside her, looking at her ghost.

“Mr. Ghost, I know that you are entering the circle as a freshman.”

“…… Looking into your eyes, it seems that you are confident in your own words.”

Yorbi was a little astonished at the positive affirmation of the ghost.

Because freshman was a word that didn’t suit the man in front of me at all.

“So?”

The moment the ghost spoke her words.

Swoop-

‘Huh?’

‘Ah?’

Rias and Yorbi felt the same sensation at the same time.

The sensation felt through the soles of the feet disappears and the entire body is filled with a dizzying sense of floating.

The feeling that the frame that confined her existence has disappeared transparently and the contents are spreading out into the world.

The moment when the two of them were about to feel fear from the overwhelming sense of liberation.

“Are you trying to blackmail me with that?”

A single voice caught the two of them and pulled them back.

“I think it would be a bit disappointing if that was true.”

“…… I have no intention of threatening you.”

Rias grabbed her wrist with one hand.

I could clearly feel her body temperature and heartbeat through the hand she held.

“I don’t think you’re the kind of person who would give up on something like this at all.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Relieved that his condition was normal, Rias continued to move his slightly hardened blue lips.

“I brought it up simply to make it easier to talk about the rewards I will give you in exchange for an alliance from now on.”

As soon as Rias finished speaking, the air around him calmed down.

Feeling that the table was set, Rias looked at the ghost and said.

“I honestly don’t know what purpose you came into the circle with.”

When Rias first realized the existence of his ghost at his entrance ceremony, he simply thought of him as a talent that hadn’t appeared in the world until now.

However, this raid has cracked that idea.

We still don’t know if it’s an organization or an individual.

However, it was clear that he had a clear purpose and came to the circle for that purpose while hiding his identity.

“And I don’t think that what you are trying to achieve is evil.”

Sug-

“So, if you accept an alliance with me, as your ally, I will actively assist you in your movement within the circle.”

Yorbi was shocked when she realized what Rias had prepared as an alliance reward.

And then I realized why Rias introduced herself as the student council president of the circle in the first place.

She had intended to present herself as a sacrifice for this alliance from the beginning.

With no idea what the ghost would do, risking being used and then falling to the ground with all sorts of insults if done wrong.

“Are you stupid?”

“I believe.”

The ghost asked Rias in a clear voice.

“Me?”

“No.”

Rias shook her head lightly.

“I believe in my eyes that are looking at you right now in front of me.”

After saying that, Rias gave a small smile.

“Thank you, you really came unlike last time.”

“You…… “

The ghost was agitated at Rias’ words for the first time, then she spoke again.

“…… What do you wish for by putting yourself out there like that?”

“May my monarch be victorious, may my country prosper, and may the people not suffer.”

“I heard you say it, you must be stupid.”

The ghost clicked her tongue so lightly that she opened her mouth.

“Can you understand that what you want is that I act as an ally of the 3 princesses and cooperate until she succeeds to her throne?”

“Yes, in return, as the student council president of the circle, I will help you with all your actions without asking why.”

He acts as the student council president of his circle.

When this was confined to the inside of the circle, it could definitely be a great power for the ghost.

“But still not enough.”

Nevertheless, the ghost said so.

“…… Yes?”

“I recognize your ability. I thought I’d get caught someday, but I never thought I’d get caught this soon.”

But.

The ghost said calmly.

“Even considering your abilities, the price of turning three princesses into queens is not enough.”

“…… Then what else can you take from me, will you accept the offer?”

“All.”

Rias’s body trembled.

“Looks like she didn’t want to drag the Hani family into this, so she gave out the most valuable thing she had…… That’s not enough, so of course all that remains is bound to be.”

The ghost declared emphatically.

“Dedicate your human everything to me, then I will become an ally and help the 3 princesses as you wish.”

What the ghost said now was simple.

A knight’s oath, a noble oath that a knight makes when he meets the master he will serve for the rest of his life.

He was now asking himself to do it.

“…… I have already chosen the 3 princesses as my lord.”

“Yes, he is the lord chosen to create a better country, determined by circumstances and friendship.”

A knight’s oath is usually divided into two parts.

One is an oath made for the sake of the country and the king.

And the other is an oath dedicated to one and only one master, to whom he will dedicate his life from now on.

What the ghost was asking Rias for was the latter.

Kadudeuk-

‘That beast…… ‘

Yorbi, hearing the ghost’s words, gritted her teeth.

I couldn’t figure out what the ghost was thinking to ask for such conditions.

While Yorbi was enraged by holding both of his hands tightly, Rias opened her mouth slightly.

“If you are…… 3 Are you saying that the princess can definitely obtain the throne?”

“Yes.”

Short and decisive words.

There was only the conviction that he was talking about the obvious.

“…… Okay, if you’re so sure, I’m fine with a little bit, so please have faith.”

“Belief?”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter which way. So please give me faith that with you, I can win.”

“Then let’s do this”

The ghost thought for a while at Rias’ words, then lightly shook his hand.

Three potions suddenly appeared in his hand.

Seeing him, the two opened their eyes wide in surprise.

‘In the middle of the day?’

When the two of them are shocked by the ghost’s ability.

“Hmm?”

“Why is that?”

“…… No, nothing.”

The ghost stiffened for a moment, then answered as if nothing was wrong, and put them into the pole of the tree next to it.

“Anyway, this is one of the beliefs I can give you. If you see potential through this and make up your mind, then call me.”

Sug-

After the ghost finished his words, he disappeared from the spot as if permeating.

“Liver…… Is it?”

“I guess so.”

Hyuuu-

At Yorbi’s words, Rias took a deep breath to relax and cautiously approached the tree.

“This is…… Is it a potion?”

Aside from the color, it was a potion that looked somewhat unusual.

‘Is it a method of directly pushing the contents into the body like a syringe?’

Rias looked at the potion for a while and handed it to Yorbi.

“It’s a container, but maybe the contents aren’t ordinary either. Send these to England tomorrow to investigate…… “

While talking like that. Rias felt something and turned his head.

Then, unlike before, he saw Yorbi looking at him with his eyes slightly raised.

No matter what happens, Yorbi doesn’t show his expression outside of his face.

If she thought of him, she could guess how angry she was now.

“Why didn’t you turn down the offer right away when you received such a ridiculous offer? You know what that means.”

“Hmm, that’s because things have changed a bit.”

Rias scratched her cheek for a moment before speaking.

“Prince 1 and Prince 2 collided.”

“Yes? However, the forces of the two were equal…… “

Yorbi’s eyes widened as she realized her words.

“That’s right, it seems we aren’t the only ones struggling to increase our power. As a result, it was an overwhelming victory for the first prince.”

“How the hell…… “

“Well, to be honest, I’m not sure about that either. We are still investigating what kind of forces came out.”

Having said that, Rias asked Yorbi.

“Do you know what kind of person Prince 1 is?”

I couldn’t help but know.

1 Many people who saw the prince said he was a man born with the qualities of a tyrant.

But other words came to Yorbi’s mind before those words.

The word refers to a nasty beast that preys on her master.

As Yorbi reflexively clenched her teeth, Rias gently stroked her hair.

“Things are changing so fast. Fortunately, the value of my name has risen right now, and the first prince chooses to absorb the power of the second prince, so I can afford it a little, but I don’t know when or how this will disappear.”

Sug-

“So now we have to be prepared and make a choice.”

“But…… However, the lady does not have to sacrifice…… “

“Sacrifice, it’s not like that.”

She said as Rias kindly stroked Yorbi’s hair.

“I told you, if you don’t believe that person, trust your eyes when you see that person.”

Ssiik-

“It’s just a simple guess based on what I’ve seen and what I’ve done so far…… That guy, he didn’t seem like such a bad person, so it should be fine.”

For her victory, she chose to sacrifice herself first, but Rias rather calmed her Yorbi and reassured her.

At that, Yorbi bowed her head deeply and gave her a small nod.

‘Sorry, I hurt you needlessly.’

As if Rias could guess Yorbi’s feelings, she lightly stroked her hair.

That’s why she would be surprised if Yorbi saw the expression she was making with her head down.

‘I have to protect the young lady.’

Yorbi’s downward-looking eyes were full of the light of determination, not resignation.
