I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Enforcer (2)

In this world, a miracle of God existed. The people of the continent, who experienced the miracles embodied by the priests in their daily lives, were deeply religious, and the church collected a tax called tithe based on that faith, and received huge donations from monarchs and nobles.

The more the empire prospered, the more the church earned. The current Holy Kingdom and the Licht Church were literally sitting on a cushion of money. As a single group, it was to the extent that no great rich or manor could follow.

Of course, the church does not simply receive, so it dispatches priests to perform treatment activities, and seeks out and eradicates demonic existence through combat priests and heretic questioners. Support was also faithfully done.

In the end, it could be said that the Empire, the Church, and the Holy Kingdom had a symbiotic relationship in which they cooperated closely while exchanging benefits. The Licht Church carried out various projects based on such enormous finances, one of which was social welfare work.

A nursery school located within a convent under the Holy Kingdom and the Licht Church.

A young nun with a benevolent smile and a beautiful appearance resembling an angel was reading a children’s book to the children.

“So the warrior party took the holy sword and killed the evil demon king. They lived happily ever after.”

“and….”

The children listened intently with their mouths open to the nun’s words as she mixed movements.

“So, what can we learn from this story?”

The nun kindly questioned the children.

“The hero is cool…?”

“The power of the holy sword was amazing.”

“I want to become a hero too!”

The nun shook her head at the innocent remarks of the children.

“No. That’s not it. The moral of the story is not like that.”

“So what?”

The children questioned the nun with bright eyes.

“How much did the people in the story suffer from the demon king? What we can learn from that is that demonic beings must be beaten and killed without leaving a single one. Wicked things should not exist in this world, and when we see them, we must annihilate them without compromise. You know?”

The nun smiled brightly and told the children.

“Sister Chloe.”

“yes. Director.”

An elderly woman who served as the head of the convent called Chloe, who was among the dumbfounded children.

“What are you doing?”

“It is the name of His Holiness.”

“I will accept it.”

“Order. As of the present time, Inquisitor Chloe from the Heretic Inquisition Malleus Maleficarum is dispatched to a special task force under the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service.”

“What is the dispatch period?”

“Until all demonic beings are eradicated.”

“…I’ll take it.”

That day, a woman wearing a black cloak over heavy armor and carrying a mace silently left the convent.

The Empire wanted talented people who could use it as an immediate force while establishing the Secret Intelligence Service, and formed an enforcer by receiving exceptional talent from all groups cooperating with the Empire. As a result, numerous strong people from all over the continent came under the Secret Intelligence Service, and Chloe, a former Heretic Questioner in the Holy Land, was one of them.

“The item you entrusted has been completed. – Thyssen Workshop”

As soon as I received the concise note sent to me, I went out to Schultz City with Yulia.

Yulia was staring at me with a half-mixed look of confusion and anticipation because I had dragged her out of the academy without a second thought.

As if there had been a demon attack, the city was revitalized and the streets were full of people.

“Master, I… where are you going?”

“You will know when you go.”

Yulia had a lot of question marks floating above her head, but naturally, gifts are only effective when given suddenly.

If you pass through the city center and go to the eastern outskirts of Schulz, you will find a workshop street filled with the fishy smell of iron and heat.

“This is…”

As if it was her first time coming to this place, Yulia opened her eyes wide and looked around. Originally, I was a child who couldn’t use a sword. When I came to the workshop street, I could clearly see Yulia’s excitement.

In no time, the carriage arrived in front of a small workshop with an antique signboard that read Thyssen in the imperial language.

“Let’s get off.”

“Yes, Master.”

Although the scale was not so large compared to other workshops, the luxurious touch of craftsmanship was felt from the outside to the inside of the building.

“welcome. This is Thyssen Workshop.”

“…?”

Yulia stopped for a moment when she saw the staff. That would be a natural reaction. so did i

“I am Carol of the Bernstein family. I heard that the items entrusted to you have been completed.”

“Come this way.”

A muscular man about half my height ushered me in with a graceful gesture.

“Master… aren’t you a dwarf?”

Yulia clung to me and talked in a whisper.

“ha ha ha! you’re right. Is this your first time seeing a dwarf?”

The man who guided us talked with a big smile.

“That… I’m sorry! Because I don’t go out of my family often…”

As if she hadn’t expected to hear it, Yulia apologized in surprise.

“it’s okay. Everyone reacts like that when they see us for the first time.”

I also thought that if I was a dwarf, I would live in a mine, but I only found out after reading the history books of the continent.

Of course, rather than the will of the dwarves themselves… As the empire grew stronger, the imperial family monopolized the right to mine the mines. It is said that it naturally melted into human society. There was such a sad story.

Like that big-hearted man, he basically didn’t have a bad personality, and his military power was above a certain level, and he was very good with his hands. do.

The Thyssen Workshop was one of them, and it was run by Dwarves.

After waiting in the waiting room, the dwarf brought an item wrapped in cloth from the safe inside.

Then, as if asking him to check on his own, he held up the sword with both hands.

“Yulia.”

“yes?”

“It is yours.”

“huh…?”

Yulia didn’t understand my words and tilted her head for a moment.

“For you to check.”

“Ah… I see!”

Then, as if he understood my meaning, he hurriedly took the sword and unrolled the rolled cloth.

“This….”

The shimmeringly white blade was elaborately engraved with glowing runes, and the spirit felt from the sword exuded momentum as if it would cut everything.

“Hmmm. Let me explain.”

The Dwarf took form and carefully handled the sword as if handling a work of art.

“Through this rune, the sword has been permanently enchanted. It has no special function, but it increases strength and rigidity and will resist rust easily. If you shine a light like this here, there is a slight reddish glow, but that’s because the red aura stone was put in when refining the sword.”

“Auror Stone… you mean?”

“yes. It was so that he could accept mana well according to Prince Carol’s request. It will reduce the mana required to use Aura or Aura Blade at least a little bit. By the way, it is a very expensive mineral. It’s so hard to deal with. There are few places on the continent where you can deal with this. And our Thyssen workshop is one of them.”

After the Dwarf explained, he smiled proudly.

“…”

Yulia opened her mouth wide and looked at the sword as if possessed.

“Is the payment sufficient?”

“yes. What you gave me in advance was enough. Rather, I left a little…”

“There is no need for a balance. You made a better sword than I expected.”

“thank you. I felt it from the moment I ordered it, but you have an eye for it.”

The Dwarf nodded and said.

“It’s the sword that the disciple will use, so it’s natural that you care about it.”

“ha ha ha! You are envious of your disciple. If you are satisfied, please use our Thyssen workshop next time.”

“okay. don’t let me come again Yulia, let’s go.”

“yes yes!”

After inserting the sword into the neat scabbard that the Dwarf had given me, Yulia followed me with the scabbard tightly to her chest.

“Can I take this? I don’t think it’s worth a penny or two.”

Yulia hesitated, looked me in the eye, and asked cautiously.

“Of course, it’s not just a penny or two. Jedo’s mansion had enough money to live comfortably.”

After the word that I was the top performer in the entrance exam entered the Bernstein family, the family sent me a huge amount of money. With the words to ask for more if you need anything.

I had no use for money anyway, so whenever I sent money from my family, I naturally collected it, and it turned into a huge amount. I combined all the money I had and put it all into one sword. Is that a weapon?

You can see it’s like carrying around a mansion.

“yes…? This… I can’t accept anything like this.”

“noisy. Becoming my disciple and carrying a worn-out sword is tantamount to dishonoring my face. Don’t lose it somewhere and take good care of it.”

“All right. Every time… thank you.”

“Do you like it?”

Seeing that he had been staring at me since earlier as if possessed, it was obvious that I would not have heard the answer.

“yes. I really… like it to the point of not being able to wield it.”

“Don’t even think like that. A sword is, after all, just a weapon. It was made to fit your body type, martial arts, and habits, but it’s a little different from the sword you’ve used before, so you’ll need to get used to it. Even during training, do not put it in your hand and use this.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Yulia, who couldn’t take her eyes off the sword with her eyes wide open like a child, felt so cute that she patted her head.

“Master…?”

“There will be times in the future when I am often away. It seems like you’ve reached the point where you can train alone now, so even if I’m away, keep working hard.”

“Often… you mean?”

“It wasn’t like dropping out of the academy or anything like that. But… I can’t tell you the duration or frequency right now. I don’t even know yet.”

“All right. Don’t worry. I will do my best even if I am alone.”

Yulia took a firm posture and looked up at me.

“okay. Don’t believe me.”

“Yes, Master.”

Looking at Yulia walking away with a bright smile while holding the sword tightly in her arms.

I also thought it was a good idea to order.

Even though the amount went in, it was money anyway, so it was piled up again.

The amount being sent was increasing, and it seemed that the situation in the Bernstein estate was pretty good recently.

“Wow…”

After returning to Schultz City with Carol, Yulia’s eyes became hazy as she looked at the sword after returning to the room.

Originally, because of her excessive obsession with swords, from Julia’s point of view, who had even heard that she was a swordsman, the sword Carol gave her as a gift was truly a masterpiece enough to take away her soul.

This is a piece of art. It is like a work of art. Yulia, who opened her eyes wide, thought so, rummaged through the inside of the drawer and pulled out a small bottle.

I took out the finest camellia oil, which I would never normally use, and carefully dipped it in a cloth, then wiped the sword reverently as if in a ritual. To the level of self-luminous.

‘But no matter how disciple you are, do you usually give something like this as a gift?’

A question suddenly popped up in Yulia’s head as she gazed at the sparkling blade.

Rosenberg was a renowned swordsman, and of course, Yulia’s eyes for swords were also extremely high. On the surface, Godwin’s sword, which Carol cut in half, looked much more gorgeous, but in terms of value, it was incomparable. This was a famous sword that was never easily seen even in the family. It’s on a different level from Godwin’s sword.

A sword made by Dwarves, and a sword containing an Auror Stone.

It would not be an exaggeration at all to say that the price of Jedo’s mansion was the same.

It was certainly too much to say that it was simply a gift between a master and a disciple.

A flashing thought flashed through Yulia’s mind as she stared at the glowing runes.

‘Does Master like me?’

Princess Riena once said that a man who fell in love would give up his liver and gallbladder. It would have been something that Carol would have laughed at if she heard it, but after all, Yulia was at an age where such things could be bothered for a long time.

Apart from the truth, the girl’s heart, which once ran out of control, did not calm down and branched out endlessly.

throbbing.

Feeling her heart beating wildly against her will, Yulia put her sword back into the scabbard with a blushing face and held it tight.

Like that, the night deepened with a girl’s misunderstanding.

* * *

A golden edict was promulgated in the name of Emperor Leopold III. Originally, it would have taken at least several months to handle this level of work, but the anger of the empire was beyond imagination.

From the parliamentary resolution to the promulgation of the gold seal, everything was over within a matter of weeks.

As expected, the new Imperial Secret Intelligence Service and its purpose were briefly included in the Golden Rule.

A grace period of one month was given to all countries on the continent.

This was tantamount to declaring war on the entire continent in the name of the empire.

A month is too short a time to do anything.

Of course, there was an exception clause saying that if you cooperated with the investigation of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service, you would be taken into account. In fact, it was almost like accepting interference in internal affairs, and it was difficult for other countries to accept.

Just like that, the entire continent was agitated by the empire’s actions, and clouds of war were hanging over it.

Immediately after the Promulgation of the Golden Rule.

A hawk landed on the window of the Helios Pavilion where I was staying.

A piece of enchanted paper was tied around the hawk’s neck, and when he brought the executor’s ID he had received earlier, the code was deciphered and the letters were revealed.

What was written inside was simple.

Proceed to the location indicated on the paperwork and join the intelligence agents.

It felt intuitive.

this was a test To determine if I am a suitable person to be an enforcer.

No matter how much the swordsman recommended it, he wouldn’t just appoint a person who wielded enormous power as an enforcer.

You’re going to have to prove your eligibility.
