Isaac

College Returns (5)

With a hesitant glance at Isaac, Magellan opens her mouth hesitantly.

- Are you going to practice on people like that?

“Yeah, well. ”

-... I don't need it if that's the case.

“You said you'd do anything for me. ”

- No, if you're trying to alleviate the impact of murder on agents, you don't have to.

“Why?”

-... because it's in a regular curriculum.

“ ……. ”

Puha!

Isaac, who was momentarily stunned by Magellan's words, laughs breathlessly. So it's a formal subject for Central agents trained at the College to get used to killing people.

“What? Did you just yell at me? Am I not as bad as you?”

Since strict and fair laws are a peaceful world in which every corner of the empire is enforced, students from colleges and campuses who have sold their books to death have no opportunity to experience the extreme experience of murder.

It's not enough to train as long as it's in the field. There are numerous examples of people who have been shocked to death in action that have ruined the entire operation. In fact, even he had the experience of being wiped out by those guys.

Magellan grumbles, noticing Isaac's thoughts.

- It's a peaceful world for the ignorant, but we have to go through a fierce battlefield to get up there. The upper class all know the truth. So he educates his children from childhood.

“Wow! That was harsh. You still want him to kill people? ”

Magellan frowns and shouts, "Do you have a headache?"

- Who killed her? You imprint from childhood that you have to step on someone's life to become a nobleman.

“That's it. That would have a very bad effect on personality education. ”

In Isaac's grief, Magellan sighs deeply.

- Anyhow, if you're talented enough to go to college, you're already educated enough and prepared enough.

“Then you don't even have to have that curriculum, right? ”

-... because training and practice are different. Especially given the nature of our work, if we lose our minds during the operation, it's not going to end well.

With Magellan's words, Isaac nods in sympathy.

“Yes, of course. No matter how meticulously trained you are, it's terrible when you roll it out of practice. Especially when it's a commander. ”

“Why?”

The night Isaac reported his misdeeds. Libria receives an unreliable order from Isaac to apologize and continue her training. The emperor who appeared on the screen said in a dark voice.

- It's the Supreme Committee's decision.

“Unbelievable! ”

- Do you really want it to stop?

“That's what makes sense! ”

- If we stop here, those dead agents are dead dogs. Is that a good thing?

“…… but! ”

-If the creation of the Security Bureau itself is terminated, all volunteers participating will be erased from Central's records.

“This is outrageous. It's enough to give training to someone else or recruit veterans. ”

- Do you think he'll go along with it if you do?

“ ……. ”

- We broke the deal first, not you, Libya. Didn't I tell you not to interfere?

“So you just had to watch him kill agents! ”

- …… No, but it's the analyst's mistake not to expect him to do that as an excuse for training.

“Now you're making excuses for the analyst! ”

- That's what I'm saying. Central and the Supreme Council negotiated, and the analysts failed to predict his behavior. He has one queen to raise his hand to.

“It wasn't an accident during training, it was a direct attack, so how can this be a cause for death?" ”

- Duke Lopez has been relieved of his post for protesting the same.

The emperor's words make her complexion pale. Even the Duke of Lopez, who exerts great influence on his agents, is cut to pieces?

“What are you going to do about it……. ”

- That's not your concern.

“But what if I refuse? ”

The emperor hesitated, expressing his determination that he did not want to say all this.

- …… Duke Pendleton asked me to tell you he can't talk to your face.

“ ……. ”

- I'm sorry, follow orders.

The emperor's words dull the spirit of Libria. Even the biggest patron, dad, says that something unknown is happening at the top of his class.

Even the Duke of Lopez, who had so much influence, had something so serious that he had to cut off just because he brake Isaac's event.

Libria hangs around Isaac's tent. I couldn't get inside because I couldn't walk away. Even if I could do it with my eyes closed, I couldn't bear the nagging he was going to scratch.

I felt even more overwhelmed by the fact that I had to apologize and watch my behavior instead of stopping the agents who were also my successors from dying and getting hurt.

As you sigh and sigh, as you repeat, the tent slightly opens, and Lacha reaches out her smudged face.

“Hey, if you're going to come in, come in or don't keep hanging around at the door... No, I told you to go somewhere else. ”

Although Lacha was in a hurry to soften things up, she can guess what she was trying to say. With momentary fury, Libria enters the tent.

A sumptuous dinner was held inside the tent from morning, and Isaac slashed the meat in a relaxed manner and stared at her as if he had envied Riesley without turning his head to honey.

“Like you never saw me again. What happened? ”

She looks up at the Hillbilly Libria and sees Isaac again focusing on his meal. She sees a fire rising from her belly again, but she can't help but bear it.

“Yesterday…. ”

“Wait, I'm eating. Wait. ”

I can see the flutters trembling with anger. Rizzley was wary of the mixed gaze of her reaction, but Isaac and Knette didn't look fabulous, and Lacha joined her and started eating breakfast together.

Only the sound of the dish slamming in silence resonates. Libria waits quietly, with the desire to topple at least immediately.

Had it not been for his message, I would have crushed him right away. I couldn't resist his request to obey his orders, saying I was sorry, but I had to endure the humiliation.

While waiting for the insult, Isaac scowls at Libria while he eats.

“Are you here to apologize? ”

“…… Yes. Yesterday I... ”

“Oh, okay. In our world, a sincere apology kneels, but this town just stands there and apologizes. ”

At Isaac's words, Liberia looks at Isaac dazed, and Knette and Reisha stop eating to see if it was too much and turn their heads to Isaac.

Isaac said, ignoring people's gaze, he cut the chunky meat to the right size with a fork and took it to his mouth.

“Are you going to apologize sincerely or just leave? ”

“Hey, I think that's too much.... ”

“…… Isaac. ”

Leisha and Knette tried to dry Isaac, but Lillia, who cut her lips open, said, "Puff! ’Kneel down and shut up.

Lacha stares at Isaac and Liberia, gazing at them as if they can no longer eat properly, and Knet stares at Isaac without even thinking about eating honey.

Isaac repeated chewing and slicing meat monotonously, ignoring the gaze of two people. Only after he had eaten all the meat on the plate, he put down his fork and knife, wiped his mouth with a napkin, drank a sip of wine, and opened his mouth after biting a cigarette.

“Oh, thank you. ”

“ ……. ”

Isaac sighs and sighs as he gazes down at Libria, relaxing.

“As expected, Central chose me over the lives of its agents? So it's the same here after all. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

He faced Libya, not avoiding the look of her emotions.

“No citizen is willing to lay down his life in a country that has turned away from his people. As a result of pretending not to know, the Queen and my country are doomed. I'm disappointed. Lady, I thought you'd be different. After all, it's a well-fed and well-lived ruling class. ”

At Isaac's words, Libya vomits the tears that had eventually settled.

“Then what should I do? I reported what you did, but instead of punishing you, I was told to apologize and keep an eye out! ”

Everyone winks at Libria's cry, but Isaac says with an indifferent expression.

“The Sword Master doesn't have that much power? ”

“It was decided by Central and the Supreme Council! You even told me to follow orders, so what am I supposed to do? ”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!" ’He kicked his tongue once, rubbed off his cigarette and got up from his seat.

“Someone in our world said, A life where you end up satisfying someone other than yourself is a failure. Ordinary people, of course, but you're the Sword Master, right? I thought you said you were on your own. Even though you knew it was wrong and you made me do it up there, how can you be so kind and be so quiet about it? ”

Isaac passes past Libria, stunned by Isaac's bitterness.

“Once you close your eyes, you don't deserve it. Apology accepted. Last chance. If you want to run, run now. From the moment you get back in the training ground, you're gonna have to watch me through to the end where I can't stop you now. ”

“ ……. ”

Isaac passes through the inseparable Libria and, hesitantly, turns to comfort her. Knet approaches Libria and turns his gaze to see if he has lost interest over Zigsby Barra and follows Isaac's trail.

Coming out of the tent, Isaac stands for a moment to light a cigarette, and as Knett pulls his trousers, he rubs the cigarette in his mouth and looks down, and Knette looks up and asks him to give him a hug.

I had never asked for a hug like this before, but then I started walking to the barracks holding Knet in one arm with a smile on my face.

“…… Isaac. ”

“What is it?”

“…… Don't bother Libya too much. ”

In response, Isaac strokes Knett's head.

“Heroes need a trial. You can call it a quenching. ”

“…… but what if it breaks? ”

“That's none of my business. We have to find another hero. It's not full of spirituality, but there's insurance. ”

As she laughs in Magellan's mind, Knet rubs his face into Isaac's body.

“…… I'm with Isaac. ”
