chapter 28
28 – 28. Square
Scarlett climbs the stairs, chewing the large bread in her hand as always.
You could see a few students leaning against the wall of the stairs and chatting, but there was no one there now.
All of those students are probably having a heated discussion in the main auditorium about replacing the instructor.
In this great event that is said to have never happened before,
She was the only outsider.
“Haam.”
Scarlett is so relaxed that she yawns.
The reason was simple.
Because it didn’t matter what the results were.
If the lecture was maintained, that was fine.
If Ivan’s classes are reduced, he will have some free time.
Her human madness over her education will be directed towards her, who has become her disciple, at least in her formality.
If that’s the case, I’ve seen him grow Adela amazingly.
Scarlett should also have her own expectations.
In one word, it was really good.
After reaching the third floor, she turned the corner and tried to return to the main auditorium.
“Just say what you want to say.”
The moment I heard Ivan’s voice from the hallway on the other side of the corner.
She stopped right on the spot.
“… That way of speaking, Scarlett must have learned from watching you.”
Between the hallway and stairs. She hid herself in that blind corner.
She carefully tilted her head towards her hallway, just slightly, just enough to see her eyes.
Sure enough, one of the two instructors standing in the hallway was Moriam.
The ‘you’ he said was also the same as the ‘you’ she thought of.
Ivan was leaning in the hallway, staring down at him with cold eyes.
“It’s called honesty, but-“
Honesty?
If what she knows is true, she will be giving up her position as an instructor for a while.
I have never heard of a story like this.
“What do you want?”
“Scarlet Rain. Please return her application with your own hands.”
Goosebumps ran down my spine.
That lump’s obsession far exceeded her expectations,
It was he who planned the morning’s events,
Now, they were offering negotiations to Ivan using that as a hostage.
The person on the chopping block is myself.
Although that part was unbearably unpleasant, her feet did not fall.
Because there was nothing I could do.
Even if the saint was blocking Ivan’s public opinion, the future was uncertain.
The risk on his neck was too great to bet on that opaque vote.
If you are suspended, of course you will not be able to lecture, let alone become a student.
I had doubts about whether that education-crazed maniac would be able to maintain his sanity in the corner of the dormitory.
So, the most reasonable way for Ivan to take is.
He would just nod his head.
As Moriam suggested, it would be a ‘good ending.’
‘You clever bastard…’ !’
I wanted to grab him by the collar and pin him to the ground right now.
Although the opponent was an instructor, she was confident.
Scarlett wasn’t dull enough to not be able to cook even that oily lump.
But, what difference would that make?
In the end, unless Ivan has a reason to take the risk of ‘honesty’, it means nothing.
There is no choice but to grit your teeth and turn your back –
“I don’t like it.”
As soon as she took one heavy step, her back suddenly stopped at the sound of a voice.
“Huh, huh. You have great confidence. Anyway, do you really think you will win the vote? Should I have asked after at least giving myself time to look back on my past actions?”
Moriam’s tone of voice seemed quite embarrassed.
She must have also misheard, but her man in her room was wedged.
“Moriam, I feel sorry for you.”
“…What?”
“Your original sin is that you were born with no choice but to pursue only base desires in a time when everyone in the world is having a hard time living according to their own beliefs. “I am almost in tears at the fate of not being able to escape those shackles.”
Even as a third party, hearing it was so poignant that it would turn her stomach.
The situation in the hallway is clearly visible to the eye.
Anger filled her generous face, and her hands and feet were shaking.
He fired one last time.
“Unlike you, I did not have any ambition or calculation in accepting Scarlett as my disciple.”
“What do you know now to make such nonsense-“
“Let’s be honest, Moriam. If she was a noble child. “If she wasn’t from the back alley, with no background at all, you wouldn’t have dared to reach out to her.”
The sound of footsteps walking.
As soon as she realized it was heading towards her stairs, she sprinted down them.
Fortunately, she was able to get out of his sight before running into him.
Her sudden sprint made her out of breath.
But.
“What are you thinking?” .”
I wonder if the burning ears came from sudden jumping.
Or for some other reason.
She was hard to tell.
—
“That’s ridiculous. “It’s quite outrageous.”
“Isn’t it ridiculously practical?”
“Are you saying that now? This is now a regular textbook…. Tsk tsk.”
The main auditorium 10 minutes before the lecture begins.
Most of the students were sitting in their seats,
The majority of people were burying their heads in unfinished tasks,
I was erasing the central blackboard.
It was an ordinary scene, but there was just one unique thing mixed in.
Is it just the presence of an uninvited guest next to me, clicking his tongue while looking at the textbook?
Moriam, who seemed to have been scratched quite badly that day, expressed her intention to invade my lecture under the pretext of being an ‘assistant instructor.’
Originally, I should have vehemently opposed it, but I nodded obediently.
Now is the time when it wouldn’t be strange if an event were to break out, and since that guy is also an instructor, being with him would be helpful, even if only a little bit.
“Brother…. Instructor! “Where can I put this document?”
“Oh, you can put it on the table over there.”
“Now they’re really pampering their students.”
Even though he knows the saint’s personality, he tries to ignore her and nags her.
For a moment, Paula’s body stopped, but
Because she could not become a great person who would glare at others with eyes full of contempt.
She just pursed her lips and sighed.
“Well, I’m doing it because I want to, instructor….”
“Hmph. I don’t know what kind of weakness I’ve discovered and will be exploited inside and outside of the lecture, but next week, that too…. Huh?”
Moriam’s words stopped.
As I worked hard to erase the blackboard, I had the slightest hope that the person behind me might have suffered a myocardial infarction.
“Now I see that the auditorium management is also a mess. “Why did you put up a blackout outside?”
A very unexpected and novel comment came in.
I thought I was making up words that didn’t exist anymore.
‘Blackout…’ ?’
It’s not just nonsense based on grumpiness, but it’s a strangely specific situation setting.
With the chills coming from that sense of disconnection, I looked back.
And there. All the windows of the main auditorium that Moriam described as ‘outside’.
It was so pitch black that he thought it was a blackout room.
Even though it is morning now.
The students were puzzled to see two instructors, one even staring at the back window instead of just erasing the blackboard.
One or two people began to take the trouble to look back.
“What is that? “Since when has it been like that?”
“Is it like cloth?”
“Someone is playing with magic again. I also like guts.”
The strange thing that happened in the quiet auditorium immediately caught the attention of the students.
Among the students who were making noise, several got up and started looking at the windows.
No, that’s not a window.
It may have been a window a little while ago, but not now.
I lowered my voice as much as possible and gave the command firmly.
“Get away from there.”
The students who heard those words flinched and took a couple of steps back.
That’s enough for now.
Rather than that, what I need to do as a top priority right now is.
“Instructor? The expression on his face is very scary….”
This saint.
“Hyaaa?!”
After lifting it up, walk to the corner of the main auditorium.
I put it in the empty clothing storage box.
And locked it. Once with the lock and again with the mana lock.
Trapped in her secret room, she knocks on her door.
“Tongue, brother! Scary!”
“Miss Paula, do you know how to sing hymns?”
“Well, I can sing them all. But why….”
“You’re calling for a moment. “It’s better if you close your eyes.”
The only thing that random events have in common. ‘Lesser’ monsters pouring in.
They have intelligence slightly better than that of a goldfish, and they only attack humans in front of them.
So, just this much would be enough to rule her out.
Paula should not be thrown into battle.
Because I don’t want to end this event by having to deal with a saint who has been consumed by anger and can’t tell whether she is a friend or a friend.
“You, you didn’t get rid of your habit! “You’re making fun of her saint, I’m so smart-“
“Moriam. “I will only tell you the main points, so please listen carefully.”
Because the guy who came waddling was also an instructor,
I told you what you need to do as an instructor.
“That’s not a blackout curtain, it’s a huge gate.”
“What… !”
“Prepare for battle.”
With those words, I started running toward the center of the auditorium.
“Uh, huh? “What comes out?”
Not even a second passed when the students realized something was wrong.
Screams that were not human rang out all at once from the window that had become the gate.
Kyaaagh!
It was a signal signaling the start of the event.
