I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

comeback

“…”

The hiccup as soon as I spoke to her, and the act of trying to instill fear in order to deal with the demons must have made even Princess Riena, who was watching, feel fear.

I wished I had closed my eyes, but unfortunately it seemed that I had seen what had happened from beginning to end.

He pretended to be resolute, but the sound of his heart beating wildly and his fingertips shaking trembled to the point of being uncomfortable to watch.

“Sorry, I was not considerate.”

“Ah… no.”

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen people die, and that’s how they die.

Even now, blood and flesh scattered in all directions around here, headless corpses and a thick smell of blood, the acrid smell of demons burned by black lightning, and the smell of burning meat.

A scene that was literally like hell was unfolding in front of my eyes.

“They were already irreversible. Dozens or hundreds of innocent people would have already been sacrificed to them, and they would have harmed more if they were spared.”

“Yeah… I know… but it’s just that I’m not used to it. It’s your first time.”

Fortunately, it seemed that the mental shock had been offset to some extent, probably because he kept raising Yogi from the labyrinth.

Looking back on this scene later, it won’t be a very good memory.

I always have to wait for time to sort things out.

“I understand. I’ll get out of here at once. Excuse me for a moment.”

“huh? excuse?”

I hugged Princess Riena, who was confused and did not understand my words.

“Evil—”

“Please hold tight. I will run fast.”

“Yes. okay.”

After confirming that Princess Riena tightly wrapped her arms around my neck, I started moving as quickly as possible using light air.

bang!

Every time I took a step, there was an explosion of noise and dust as if a fireball had exploded, and the scenery around me changed in an instant.

“Uh… Huh?”

Princess Riena didn’t seem to understand this whole situation from a while ago, but rather than explaining in detail, it was first to get out of this place.

If he reached out to the academy managed by the imperial family and the archmage and played tricks, there was no guarantee that it would end like that.

Even an unexpected class of demons appeared, so there were many aspects of the situation that were too uncertain.

It wasn’t clear how far he had come from the academy.

Spreading momentum widely, I sensed the end of the forest.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be a place that came in very deep from the beginning of the forest.

It’s time for the sun to set soon, so at least it’s better to get out of the forest quickly.

Regardless of the era, the dreary night forest was closer to the realm of the outside world than to humans.

* * *

After holding Princess Riena for a while and using light air to run, he finally left the forest.

Outside the forest, there was an open green plain that made my heart feel refreshed, and there was no trace of human beings until the horizon.

“I’ll drop you off right now, Her Highness the Princess.”

“Yes.”

As if she was tired of the unfamiliar feeling of being a Duke, she carefully put down Princess Riena, whose face was flushed red.

“Excuse me, Her Highness, but has this never happened before? Did someone try to attack you?”

“huh. Not once… Rather, no one came to visit, so even though it was lonely, no one attacked or anything like that.”

So, this is the first time…

Someone knew that the imperial family was sending Princess Riena to the academy, and did they prepare for this in advance?

In this way, the back and forth of the story was correct to some extent.

Although it is said that it is the imperial family that rules the great empire, they would not have paid detailed attention to the third princess in the academy.

No, on the contrary, it could have been more careless.

An academy built with great care within the direct control of the imperial family.

The dean is the all-powerful witch Archmage Amelia.

From the standpoint of those who rule this huge empire, you would have thought that you wouldn’t dare to work in such a place.

In addition, the possibility that there was someone inside the imperial family who communicated with demons or demons was not small.

Glancing at her side, she felt quite tired, perhaps because she had never experienced such a harsh situation as the princess.

“Can you walk?”

“are you okay. Nevermind me.”

“If you are having a hard time, tell me anytime. Just like before, I can hold it and run.”

“Ah… no! that’s fine.”

“All right. For now, I’ll go beyond the visible plain. Rather than sleeping in the wild, it would be better to find a house and entrust it for a day.”

“huh.”

In the wilderness where there was no tree, they walked together slowly, matching the pace of Princess Riena’s walking.

Even though the situation was like this, walking on the plains at sunset, where only green grass spreads wide without blocking one’s view, naturally felt like my mind and body were at peace.

how long did it take

The time when starlight poured from the sky and only thick darkness fell on the plains.

As we continued to walk without speaking to each other, we saw a dim yellow light in the distance.

“Your Highness, the Princess. Please try harder.”

“I am fine.”

As if he had escaped from the influence that raised Yogi before he knew it, his tone of voice had changed, and he felt a calm expression.

I wish this area was close to the academy.

I’ve been through all sorts of difficult situations, including many camps in Moorim, but from the perspective of Princess Riena, who grew up well in the imperial family, the current situation would be nothing short of a thunderstorm.

smart.

“Who are you tonight…?”

When I arrived at the house, I knocked lightly on the door, and the wrinkled old woman carefully opened the door and asked.

“Excuse me, can I stay for the night? It seems that there are no villages around…”

“They seem to be nobles, but how did they come this far… Please come in first.”

He led the already exhausted Princess Riena into the house.

Warm warmth lingered inside the log cabin, where dry firewood burned roaring in the fireplace, and the faint smell of incense stimulated the senses.

“Do you live alone?”

“Yes, Nari. I lost my relationship with people outside a long time ago… I live alone.”

“Could you tell me what area this is? I came out of the forest, but I couldn’t figure out where it was…”

“It’s about three days’ walk east from Kaltenberg, the islands of the Franz Empire.”

Fortunately, it seemed to have been moved to a distance that was not too far away.

There will be a village nearby in about three days from the island.

“Is there a village near here by any chance?”

“Yes, just a little bit to the west is the town of Rothenburg. It’s late at night, so let’s leave tomorrow.”

“thank you. Is your room…?”

“There is a room used by outsiders in the past. Would you mind having a room?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

“Then come here…”

Following the old woman’s guidance, I entered a room in the back of the house.

A neat room with a simple bed made of wood and a desk.

It seemed to have been steadily maintained, and there was not much dust accumulated.

“Then I’m just…”

“Thanks for the help.”

“No, I feel more uncomfortable if the noble sir does that.”

The old woman bowed her head, bowed politely, closed the door, and left.

“Your Highness, are you okay?”

“yes I’m okay. I’m a bit tired…”

Princess Riena said in a dying voice.

“Lie down and get some rest. I will be on the lookout.”

“Would it be all right if you didn’t sleep, Mr. Gongja? Sleeping alone is a little…”

“it’s okay. This much is nothing to me. Not only have I experienced much more extreme situations than this, but sleep can be replaced to some extent with a good luck breakfast.”

“It seems like I get help every time… What the hell would have happened if Prince Carol hadn’t been there…”

“The answer is not to think deeply about things that have not happened. Get some rest now. You worked hard.”

“thank you….”

Compared to the bed she usually sleeps on, it must have been very uncomfortable, but perhaps because of what had happened today, Princess Riena fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

I sat cross-legged in a room where only the sound of breathing could be heard.

It was clear that the imperial family did not care much about Princess Riena.

I don’t know the exact reason why.

However, that wouldn’t mean that he could touch Princess Riena.

Touching the imperial princess was tantamount to challenging the empire, so it was clear that the matter would escalate in one form or another.

I’ll have to go back to the academy to know the exact situation, but the academy must’ve already gone crazy.

It wasn’t just the princess, I was also the eldest son of the Bernstein family, a prestigious family in the empire.

Bernstein’s eldest son and princess disappeared during class?

Assuming I’m a bachelor, just thinking about it made my head throb.

There is no guarantee that the raid will end as it is, so it is important to keep the body in a state close to optimal, so I started eating breakfast to replenish the exhausted energy.

* * *

When the level rises, it is possible to be wary of the outside even during the morning meal, so I kept my eyes open after continuing to watch the outside and the Daejucheon inside for a while.

When I looked outside through the small window in the room, the morning sun was coming up before I knew it.

Princess Riena was still lying on the old wooden bed and sleeping unknowingly.

If you look at it that way, it’s just a girl of that age… Like Moorim, this world was also a very harsh world for children to live in.

That’s why they must be shouting out things like righteousness, cooperation, and chivalry every day.

If there was no need for such a thing in the first place, there would be no reason to emphasize it so much.

I quietly closed the door and came out to find an old woman sitting in front of a warm fireplace knitting.

“Nari, are you awake?”

“Yes, I tend not to sleep in the morning.”

“Is that so. Please wait a moment…”

The old woman patted her bent back and went to the kitchen, handing her a small wooden cup filled with fragrant tea.

“This neighborhood is herbal tea made from medicinal herbs. Great to wake up in the morning.”

“thank you. I came to you suddenly in the middle of the night, and you put me to bed.”

“You’re different from ordinary nobles.”

“Even if you are an aristocrat, you are the same person, so there is not much difference between you and a commoner.”

Hearing my words, the old woman was startled and her eyes widened.

“Ouch, if the other nobles heard it, it’s a sound to shout.”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if the Emperor of the Empire had asked me, I would have answered the same.”

“…”

After sitting in a chair like that for a while, drinking warm tea and looking at the wide plain, a group of knights in golden armor rode towards me.

Bang!

A knock on the door.

“I will leave.”

I stopped the old woman from getting up from her chair, opened the door, and faced the knights.

“Tea… I found it! Captain!”

The knight in the front observed me closely and shouted at the back, and at the same time the knights rushed off their horses.

“Karl von Bernstein. Is that correct?”

I thought it was an incompetent empire, but it must have been my mistake.

I hope you find it so quickly.

“you’re right.”

A middle-aged knight wearing a flashy sword came in front of me.

“Nice to meet you, Carol. My name is Bent, the captain of the 3rd Division of the Imperial Guard. Perhaps Her Highness, the princess…”

“He is resting inside.”

“It’s really fortunate… I found traces of demons and demons and was wondering if anything would happen.”

The knight named Bentra let out a big sigh of relief and said.

If the royal guards had moved, it would have meant that an imperial order had been issued.

It was clear that the imperial family did not take this lightly.

“Aside from being a little tired, there are no wounds, so you can rest assured.”

“I can’t believe you took care of those devils and demons…”

“Yes, I am.”

“As expected, the Bernstein family. I will make sure to report this directly to His Majesty.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“Princess Carol…? Who’s here?”

Perhaps hearing the noise outside, Princess Riena came over with a disheveled appearance after waking up from sleep.

“insect! Meet Her Highness, the Princess!”

The knights stamped their feet at the same time and bowed to Princess Riena.

“Ah… Her Highness the Princess?”

When the old woman in the room heard that she was the princess, she fell flat on her face as if terrified.

“Then thank you.”

After lightly greeting the old woman, he left the house with Princess Riena after placing a small bundle of coins on the table near the entrance.

“Sir Bent, long time no see.”

“Yes, Her Highness the Princess. I’m really glad you’re okay.”

Perhaps because they were members of the imperial guard, Princess Riena and a knight named Bentra seemed to know each other.

“From now on, we will take you to the academy.”

“Are you going straight to the academy?”

I thought I would stop by Jedo or its vicinity, but this was unexpected.

“That’s right. carol ball. Because of this incident, His Highness the Swordsman made the move himself. You were in the system when the incident happened, so you should have arrived at Schultz Academy by now.”
