I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

038. Who would dare

There was a passenger inside Professor Brianna’s lab.

Long platinum blonde hair and red eyes just like Gilbert.

It was the princess knight Seraphina.

Seraphina was facing Professor Brianna, accompanied by her escort, Yannick. On her reception table were two steaming teacups.

“Hello? Master and Seraphina.”

“You’ve finally arrived, female priest.”

A rare smile appeared on Seraphina’s lips. Gilbert saw Seraphina’s smile and realized that her reason for coming here was because of him.

“Sit here first.”

As Gilbert sat down in his chair, Professor Brianna prepared a new teacup with her own hands and placed it in front of him. As clear tea water flowed out of the teapot, the fragrant scent of tea tickled the tip of her nose.

“Master, may I speak to the priest first?”

“Isn’t that what you came here for?”

“hehehe. I’m satisfied that Master knows how you feel.”

For the first time in a while, Gilbert sipped his tea while watching a comic conversation between two priests. I felt like I knew right away that this was a good tea for Gilbert, who had no knowledge of tea, as it had a bitter taste on his tongue.

“Was the conversation between you and Master so interesting?”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Serafina.”

To be honest, it was fun, but it was a bit silly. I decided that there was nothing good about being caught up in Seraphina’s pace.

From what Gilbert remembers, Princess Seraphina showed a cool-headed side when her favorability rating was low, but when she became Professor Brianna’s former student, she was prone to mischievous pranks.

Did you say that the priest who suddenly appeared was cute? At least when I played as the main character Ian, the lines were thin, but now the lines were thick and golden. As Gilbert, who is over 190 cm tall, was not treated very well.

“I don’t think so…But that’s not important right now. Priest. No, Gilbert the Lionheart.”

Seraphina’s expression, which had been smiling lightly, changed. She seemed to have lost the dignity she should have as the first princess of the empire.

“Please give your order.”

“I cannot help but praise your performance this time. Not only did you catch and kill all the bastards who were eating away at the empire, but you also risked your life to protect the academy cadets who could become the future of the empire. Such heroism. “How can I praise you for showing me this?”

Seraphina’s clear and deep red eyes filled Gilbert.

She no longer thought of Gilbert as the count’s bastard master.

Of course, the atrocities he committed did not disappear just this once. It was clear that bad rumors would still follow him around, and the people who chewed him out behind his back would not go away.

But Seraphina was a princess. She had no choice but to look at Gilbert with a different eye, as he perfectly solved a case that could have tarnished the reputation of Demeia Academy and the name of the empire.

There were few people who, as a freshman, could achieve the feat of destroying seven giant god soldiers with just one person. Usually, people who can accomplish such feats will make their name known at any time. Whether on an imperial level or due to Serafina’s personal preference, Gilbert was now a person who must be captured.

“As the princess of the empire, I highly value your merits.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“That’s nice to hear. And I have one more thing to say, priest.”

“Please speak.”

“I plan to root out those arrogant Resistance bastards. They are deceiving the innocent people of the Empire with the flimsy pretext of freedom. I cannot stand by and watch these bastards, who are at best terrorists, act as if they were born with a noble mission. .”

A chill came out from Seraphina’s words. She was Serafina, born as a vessel for the emperor.

Even before she entered Demeia Academy, she stood on the battlefield as the sword of the empire and remembered the countless people who shed their blood to protect this empire. How many nobles were lost before they could even blossom in the battlefield where life and death came and went.

The clever Serafina did not fail to understand their goal of building a republic. He knew very well that republicanism was what the commoners put forward to protect themselves from being trampled by the nobles.

In fact, that was the reason why the Republic of Respubblica was established. The Republic of Respubblica, which was born on the premise that the nation was the common property of all citizens, was a country born through an endless civil war between nobles and commoners under the ideology of ‘civil rule.’

It was a country stained with blood that was barely completed through washing blood and fighting for its life.

However, the Republic of Respubblica was not without problems. Respubblica, divided into the aristocratic faction and the citizen faction, was still in constant civil war.

Although on the outside it appears to be a good place to live where citizens’ rights are recognized, when you look at the reality, it is not so. There was a shortage of food due to farmland being devastated by the endless civil war, and many people were killed or injured, resulting in military weakness.

In a situation like now where wars are frequent due to gigantic diseases, they were just good prey for other countries. There was only one way to remain in an economically and militarily weakened country.

In that sense, Seraphina hated the people called Resistance, who could not even read the trends of the times and only longed for freedom. And it was natural for Seraphina to be angry because such a disgusting race dared to fearlessly challenge Demeia Academy and even the Empire.

“And who dares to touch the priest of Yeo? You are now none other than the only priest of Yeo. Those bastards who know how to talk nonsense at best should not be messed with. “

A ghostly spirit flowed from Seraphina’s red eyes. That’s what it meant for her to have a teacher like the first princess of the empire. Therefore, Gilbert had to ask Serafina for permission first before she could become Brianna’s exclusive disciple.

Gilbert was able to realize once again what kind of position he could have become. This was something I didn’t know much about in the game.

“This is tantamount to a challenge to women. In that sense, I would like to make a suggestion to the priest.”

“Please speak.”

“Do you remember the promise that the Nawa priest made?”

“He will allow me to become your disciple, so he told me to show it’s worth it.”

“Yes. In my opinion, the priest has proven his worth. So you can forget about it. Instead, I will help her and root out those bugs.”

It was as expected. Tactical Combat, which Gilbert played countless times, was also played this way.

Of course, it was an event that occurred only when all resistance was dealt with as a prerequisite.

This is the part where the main character, Ian, is completely declared to be a priest, and he is offered to participate in the operation to eliminate the Resistance that follows.

Even if you don’t see this event, you naturally participate in the resistance sweep operation because it was the main story. However, the sweep operation you participate in as the princess’s priest and the sweep operation you participate in as an ordinary cadet have different results.

Because his active position was next to the princess, he had more encounters with key members of the Resistance, and the quality of rewards he could obtain changed.

“Do you have the right to veto?”

“The priest has a knack for making women happy. Are you sure she will reject you?”

A suggestion from no one else?

Gilbert shook his head at the gaze that said that. No matter how crazy it was that the princess of the empire refused her offer, no matter how crazy it was, Gilbert couldn’t do it. Although there might be some benefit, there was nothing to be gained by rejecting this offer.

“Is that possible? I will follow Serafina’s will.”

“I thought so. As expected, it’s nice to be a female priest. Yes, that’s good. You have completely proven that you are a female priest, so now you can call me your sister.”

“I’ll try my best.”

“Yeo’s priest is very shy, Master. Now, Yeo’s business is over.”

“I understand, disciple.”

Professor Brianna poured some more tea into Gilbert’s empty teacup and then opened her mouth.

“Gilbert. Thank you for your hard work.”

Contrary to Gilbert’s expectations, Professor Brianna said only one word. All she could say was that she worked hard.

Gilbert, who had expected to be asked about the use of the Five Swords of the Winter Sword, was a little surprised, but remembered Professor Brianna’s temperament and nodded inwardly.

“Dear Seraphina… I just did what I had to do, just like I told my sister.”

Seraphina stopped clearing her throat only after hearing from Gilbert that she was his sister. Gilbert suppressed the urge to sigh at that shameless appearance.

“No, you did more than that.”

“It looks like your reputation has been ruined.”

“Not at all. You were good. More than anything, I wanted to tell you this first.”

Brianna looked at Gilbert with her unusually gentle eyes. As much as he cared for the academy cadets, he seemed impressed that Gilbert risked his life to protect them.

“And as a teacher, I couldn’t help but praise him. The last thing he used was the Winter Sword’s ice pick, right?”

“… That’s right.”

“You’re a special guy too. You’re already stealing money from your teacher. Your ice pick was flawless. I won’t ask you when or how you learned it. Some guys are capable of doing things that are inherently incomprehensible. .”

And we call that genius.

Professor Brianna didn’t bother to say anything after her. This was because she did not want her talented, exclusive student to fall into pride.

“That’s all I have to say. Seraphina has already said everything I have to say.”

“Then can I go back?”

“Before that, there is something that Professor Horizon told me to give to you.”

“Perhaps…”

“Yes. They said it was a betting item… I ended up winning a bigger item than I expected.”

Professor Brianna took out a wooden box the size of two of her palms and handed it to Gilbert. She had thought that as objects were objects, it would take time to get them, no matter how much Professor Horizon she was.

Even though the development of the next generation was in its final stages, it was not something that could just be brought in.

Gilbert looked at the wooden box and looked proudly at the prototype artificial spirit that was finally in his hands. I felt like I would be full even without eating tonight.
