I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN)
547 College Guardian Spirit
Weena Lane showed me ahead, it was like her office. Sitting on a couch placed in that corner, Fran faces Wiener Lane.
"Let me name you again. It's Weena Lane. I'm the head of this magic school."
"Fran the Rank B Adventurer. This is Ursi."
"I'm the Master of Intelligence Weapon."
"Master? That's the name?
"Oh."
"I'm only called Dean or Principal or Dean, too. It's a little intimate."
The Weena Lane reaction is still thin. No, it's not that I hate it when you have to surprise me, but compared to people who've ever spotted or found out who I am, I'm pretty calm.
But I soon found out why.
"Hasn't it been about a thousand years since I've met an intelligence wepon capable of decent conversation?
"Besides me, do you know Intelligence Weapon?
"Well, something long lived. I know it's not enough with one hand. This is the second time you've had a human stinking sword since we were able to have a conversation. Most Intelligence Weapon was going crazy..."
Oh, my God, they've met Intelligence Weapon many times. So I guess you weren't very surprised to see me.
And you're a crazy intelligence wepon. Fanatics also said that normally with people's consciousness in the body of a sword, they're more likely to go mental crazy. I feel like I want to see you, but don't be scared...
However, I found that Intelligence Weapon was not the first thing I saw for her. Rather, it seems that Weena Lane's interests are geared towards Ursi.
Ursi, who is miniaturized and sitting next to Fran, and Weena Lane stare at each other jizzily. Well, Ursi is seen on the scale, he's just nervous.
"What's wrong with Ursi?
"Huh? Yeah, because it was the first species I saw. It's been a long time since I've seen a warcraft in its entirety, huh? Well, there's more to know than that, isn't there?
"Is Zero Thread okay with Colt?
"I'm fine there. 'Cause you're tying your actions after sealing your evil with my surgery, and the spirits are watching you even more."
After all, it seems that Zero Thread's evil was reduced as a result of what Weena Lane did. And not just that, tied with something like a slave covenant, plus spiritual surveillance?
"I'm not tying words, but I guess you're appealing to the attitude that strangely important is following this one. Well, it looks like the vegan came out for a moment when you attacked me, but you didn't fight back, did you? It's making it impossible to fight in the academy."
Sure, Zero Thread only did enough to stick his hands out to prevent this one from attacking. After our first attack failed, we should have had as many opportunities to fight back.
"In the first place, why is Zero Thread here?
The trigger was yesterday.
Under Weena Lane, they've been contacted about dangerous criminals lurking inside the autonomous community. It is not well known in this country, but it is said that there are prizes in other countries.
The story was that the adventurer had already set out to capture him, but he had been repelled many times. Even if the dead were not out, their power was considered overwhelming.
So this time, Weena Lane herself was set to go out. Because of the flair of that martial arts tradition, the amount of it, they tend to think that Weena Lane is handling it at any given time, but they try to leave it up to them if they can handle it outside of her when it comes to out-of-school cases.
"Otherwise, we won't grow backwards. You can't handle a small case, can you?
Conversely, that's all that matters if Weena Lane responds.
Weena Lane then used magic and other tricks to find zero threads and capture them at the end of the battle. But I find out there's a Zero Thread with me.
"A kid named Romeo?
"Yeah, that's right. Romeo Magnolia. I've decided to protect that child."
He was still walking with me.
I heard about Weena Lane being a child lover, and I can understand making the decision to protect Romeo. If I were Amanda, the same child-loving, I would do the same.
But Fran was leaning his neck.
"Why shouldn't I kill Zero Thread?
"That's the trouble... There is a close connection between Romeo and Arre to the subordination agreement. Besides, if one hurts, the other hurts, it's a nasty connection."
"Zero lead did it?
"The other way around. Maybe Romeo unconsciously made the contract. Maybe it's Magnolia's blood business..."
"Is that possible? You're just a little kid, aren't you? And Magnolia's blood?
I know you're a nobleman, but is this some kind of special house?
"Once upon a time, there was a special house on the Goldician continent that preserved the seal of the shards of the Evil God. Magnolia, wisteria, camelia. Those three human beings were special blood muscles capable of communicating with evil gods and manipulating their power. I was using that characteristic to perform a ritual to quell the evil gods... The Dragon Man destroyed us and took away our shards."
I guess the shards of the Evil God that Trismegistos used to produce the Great Warcraft were the shards that those three houses were protecting.
"A child named Romeo is a descendant of Magnolia. And it's ancestral, and its blood is intensely expressed."
Could it also be because of that blood that Murreria and Zero Thread are strangely obsessed with Romeo? No, I'm sure it is.
"Anyway, as long as you have that contract, you can kill me, and Romeo can't just do it."
And they're not the only ones.
By staying with Zero Thread for a long time, Romeo's young body is said to be contaminated with evil. There is a phenomenon of evil drunkenness that occurs by being exposed to strong evil, but it seems to be the condition that made that one even worse.
It is life-threatening if we have to cure it, but it is dangerous to keep the two apart for a long time in relation to the contract.
In the end, it was necessary to bring Zero Thread with us to protect and treat Romeo in college.
"So, with my power, I significantly sealed the power of Zero Thread and decided to keep it in the college until Romeo's treatment was complete... Treat it like a temporary worker. I'll explain why you do it."
"Mmm."
"First of all, this School of Magic is protected by powerful guardian spirits and their family spirits. That's how hundreds of spirits are watching the college as it defends itself."
'Maybe that mysterious attack that prevented Fran from attacking first...'
"He's the senior spirit in charge of monitoring Zero Thread. In that case, it's more like stopping the violence perpetrated by outsiders in the college than protecting Zero Thread."
That's why you didn't look like me! Besides, he would be pretty strong if he were also a senior spirit. Wasn't that the kind of situation where you could suddenly attack him in stealth?
It just seems like Fran was looking subtle. No, did you feel it slightly? But it was called the Inn, and maybe Fran had the ability to feel the Spirit.
"Fran, have you seen the Spirit?
"... there was something weird"
"Oh? Maybe Fran has a gift for spiritual use."
"Really?"
"I'm just saying it's possible. How about this, for example?
Weena Lane gently pointed her fingertips at the ceiling. I know only a little magic moves, but I don't know what's going on.
But Fran does seem to see something.
"Sprouts?"
"Um, can't you almost see him? But I think I can feel it."
Perhaps Fran still has the talent of a spiritualist. I'd love to know your skills.
"How can I remember?
"Hmm...... Right...... All I can say is deal with the Spirit and always be aware of the Spirit. Some people need a clean mind, but some spirits like humans with clean minds, to be exact. Many children say that spirits have nothing to do with human good or evil in the first place."
"Really?
"Yeah. Think about it? Do you think the Spirit will take care of the values, crimes, and laws that humans have laid down on their own? The same goes for the guardian spirits of this college. That defensive ethic has nothing to do with good or evil. First and foremost, the safety of college officials as stipulated in the contract. Secondly, it's a high-priority human safety. Whatever the reason, the Guardian Spirit will not forgive the adversaries"
Moreover, the Spirit's surveillance network was not the only defence system.
"And I myself am built into a part of that defense system."
Wiena Lane further explains to Fran and Ursi, who tilt their necks.
"Simply put, determine if the Guardian Spirits are hostiles and I will impose sanctions. That's the way it is. That's why I attacked Fran earlier."
It seems that Weena Lane will have to deal with it, such as if an out-of-school person launches an attack on the college. They say that compulsion works in a contract with the Spirit, and they can't even stop it until the Spirit determines that sanctions are adequate.
"You can't deceive the Spirit's eyes, so in some cases you have to kill them against my will."
The spirits are watching all their actions, and they're even going to tell if the spiritual spirits are reading and reflecting on the feelings of the enemy or not.
In other words, it meant that the degree of sanctions would be stronger against people who thought they would just sit down in shape and avenge them later.
The extent of that sanction also varies considerably depending on the position of the opponent and the degree of hostility.
If a hostile organization injures a student in the college, it's doomed without question. Just a favored opponent for the college. For example, to the extent that a graduate or the like was ridiculed by a student and raised his or her hand unintentionally, if only the form was apologized for, that would be the end of it.
In some cases, the college may be worse, but that doesn't seem to matter to the spirits who judge the degree of sanctions. Even if the other person was a saint or a felon, that meant that sanctions would be activated, even if that was the king.
"Keeping Ale, the evil man, in school was impossible without a title. Romeo's guardian wasn't enough to convince the spirits, he needed a temporary staff title."
"Even Zero Thread, can you be an official?
"Oh, you don't mind if I'm a sinner?
"Mmm."
"Right. As I said earlier, because the Spirit who judges it doesn't mean any law made by man on his own. Besides, if you took a lot of human lives, I think the number of people I put in my hands directly is hundreds of times the number of people I killed.
That said, Weena Lane flaunts her shoulder.
"I've been touring the world for a long time, and I've been on the battlefield, and I've fought against my country. There are still countries that are arranging for me to be a felon."
Speaking of which, did you even kill a nobleman from another country who gave a little credit to the college? Well, they'll be hostile in some cases.
"Is that the kind of person who does the Dean of the Academy? Maybe not now? Well, the Spirit doesn't care about any sinner."
As a result, Fran, an out-of-school person, launched an attack on Zero Thread, who became a school official, which meant that sanctions had been activated.
There's one thing I have to apologize to you for.
"What?"
"In order to weaken the sanctions against you, you misled the patron spirit Bertudy by deciding that you were an associate of the school. Specifically, it's called" Special Staff Insiders and Short-Term Integration Planners ". It wasn't the treatment of an off-campus person trying to kill a college official, it was the end official who made trouble with the end official."
I see. Is there such a way out? Having Alistair's letter of reference and actually acknowledging that Weena Lane was an associate, he was approved to treat him as an associate on the spot.
Apparently Alistair's references in particular are powerful. He said that just having this is enough to be judged problem-free if it's about a little assault case. That's why even Fran, who made that rather big case of attempted murder, said it was all about restraint, reflection, and apology.
For a moment, I wondered why you didn't give me that piece of information about Alistair, but I wouldn't have to if I thought about it normally.
You shouldn't be rambling around in school, or hostile to Wiener Lane, naturally. It's common sense in the world not to have to be cautious about being disrespectful to someone you're about to hire.
The same way that no one pays attention to acquaintances who go to interviews with large companies, such as "Don't get violent at the company" or "Don't insult the other chairman and piss him off".
He said if you pass the interview, it's a story you can normally tell me, and you didn't even dare think you had to tell me. For once, if you have a letter of introduction, you'll be forgiven for some of it. I'm just a little sorry about this one.
No, it is. It's also a mystery.
"We also launched an attack on Wiener Lane...? You actually did some damage, didn't you?
You smashed your stomach with a heavenly break, and you wounded Ursi, too? Is that, from the Spirit, not subject to enhanced sanctions? In fact, you said it wouldn't heal if you didn't do damage, right? Now I know what that whining means.
"Oh, you told me first that I could resist, didn't you? That's why I'm treating you like I gave you permission."
Are you saying that Weena Lane's permission made you treat me like a mock fight? I guess that means that Fran put up a line of prevention first so he could resist.
"But then you thought it had happened. Because Fran was stronger than expected. Well, it's because my master's support wasn't in the calculations. You can resist as much as you want, and you should have said enough to hurt me. The Spirit has ruled that he has resisted more than he was allowed to. I'm sorry."
That's what I'm gonna say and keep my head down, Weena Lane.
Surprise attacks on Zero Thread are offset by some damage and restraint. The attack on Weena Lane is subsequently offset by the damage inflicted by Weena Lane. Fear for the students was also forgiven for apologizing afterwards. That seems to be the case.
But the problem remains.
"Special Staff Insider and Short-Term Integrator," you said? Are you saying it's a decision already?
"Huh. That's the problem, isn't it? In the first place, if you think about what happened after Fran came to this college, you don't have any favorable elements. Even I'll make you a part of a flourishing college, tremble and thank you! I'm not even going to say anything. But so far, Fran is allowed by Bertudy because he has that title."
'What if I refuse?
"... now I think the spirits will be dealing with them as well as me"
Doesn't that mean you don't have the right of veto after all!
"It's okay, because I can't just quit instantly, but if you work for about two weeks, the Spirit will convince you too. Short-term integration can be separated by that."
No, if you ask me for an explanation, I can tell it was a necessary procedure, but something is mocking... I guess it's because they've decided on their own about Fran.
Still, not just as a teacher, but as an integrator? I guess that means we're gonna do the students, right? Are you okay with this?
But Fran at the time snorted lightly.
"Okay. That special......?
"Special Staff Insiders and Planned Short-Term Integrators"
"That's fine."
"Fran, okay?
"Hmm? I was going to do that originally. Same as you passed the interview."
Apparently, he doesn't have anything in particular to think about Weena Lane either. I normally embraced the story of Weena Lane.
"If we stay here, we can also keep an eye on Zero Thread"
"That's for sure"
Regardless of whether the opportunity for revenge comes around, I'm not going to give up here and miss it either.
"Besides, there are a lot of spirits in this college?
"Yeah, it's hard to find a denser place than here, huh?
"Then it would also be a training in spiritual witchcraft if you were here. So fine."
"Ha... Good for you. Thank you so much. Now Ar won't have to be mad at me either...... Yeah, at least I don't mean to say I'm sorry, but I'll let you play the paycheck. Do you want anything else?
"... I want a mock fight with Weena Lane"
"Huh? With me? Nothing good..."
Rather, the majority of the reasons I came to this college are my interest in Weena Lane. I wanted to see the strength of the world's strongest high elves. And I could feel its strength, but I guess I haven't fought enough yet.
Wiena Lane is grinning bitterly, apparently not a battle freak.
"You look cute and you're not greedy"
"One of these days. In the meantime, thank you very much for your time to come."
"Mmm. Nice to meet you."
