To Be a Power in the Shadows!

Summer is coming soon.

Under the weather like that, I was cheerfully waving my wooden sword. Now in the middle of my afternoon practical subjects, freed from Alexia, I take classes with Hyoro and Jaga.

Dr. Zenon's scandal reduced the number of students in the Wangdu Business-style, so we rolled up to seven.

"Well, what happened with Princess Alexia?

Says Hyoro, who swings next door barely.

"So break up and say it's clear."

He was about to be killed.

"It's a waste. You didn't even chew, did you?

Jaga says.

"None"

I wave my inert, indescribable sword as I talk about indescribably like that. This feels like seven parts.

Exactly a waste of time, but if this is Mob's way, we have to follow it.

"It's time for the martial arts festival. Have you two entered the selection competition yet?

"It's obvious, right? It's easy to bring home two or three of the girls if you appeal at the tournament."

Hyoro says. Chinatown.

"Hmm, three opponents are a little tough,"

Jaga says. Chinatown.

"Sid, you didn't enter, did you?

A martial arts festival is a big tournament of swords every two years. Naturally, there are famous swordsmen from outside the country. So, the Takegami Festival has a school frame, and it is the selection competition that determines that frame.

Naturally, being a mediocre mob, I'm not going to compete in anything like that to get attention at all, it's impossible.

"I'm out..."

"Thank you because I did it by entering instead, Bhuhu!!

Hyoro suddenly holds his belly down and extinguishes it.

"Hi, Hyoro, you!! What is it all of a sudden!

A roughly fast body blow. If it wasn't for me, I'd miss it.

"Hey Hyoro. It's like they beat Stomack out with a right bodyhook. What's going on when he collapses?

Unfist me right, I say.

"Ya 're somewhat specific, Sid."

"No, you're completely faint. I'll take you to the infirmary. Give me a hand. Oh, could you have canceled the entry for the selection competition?

"Come on, how was it? Oh, Hyoro, you're blowing bubbles."

The sudden seizure caused Hyoro to fall, which means he gets permission from his teacher to transport him to the infirmary.

Along the way.

"What the hell is that?"

I noticed a crowd going into the school building. [M]

"That's... there's Princess Iris too"

Then there was Alexia. Alexia turned away from me for a moment. [M]

I have yet to tell anyone that she has become a random, indiscriminate street killer. I'm not gonna tell anyone about that rooftop incident while she's out of my way. Mutual inviolability treaty, she can enjoy the slaughter with her. Looks like he's had quite a few sword arms up lately, and I think polishing his moves is a good thing. You have to kill me.

"Speaking of which, Princess Iris told me you were asking someone at the Midgal Academy to do some research."

Jaga looks like this and is informative. The Midgal Demon Swordsman School we go to is huge and there is a Midgal Academy in the same school building. They're doing academics and research over there. I don't know much about it.

"Hmm."

Speaking of which, I thought you said you were going to build a new unit or something.

Me and Jaga dropped off the knights, left Hyoro in the infirmary, and skipped the class as it was.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Discussions were held in small numbers in a large reception room.

"I'd like to ask you, the best brains in the kingdom and the famous you, to decipher this artifact"

That's what I said and offered you something like a big pendant, Iris, a beautiful red-haired woman.

"But I'm still in the student position"

It's a beautiful girl with peach hair who sees the artifact and says no.

"Your research results are widely known at home and abroad. There will be no better researcher in this field than Sherry Burnett."

"But..."

"It's a good opportunity, why don't you take it?"

It was an old man who blocked Shelley's words.

"Ruslan Burnett, Associate School Director......"

"You can call me Father."

Ruslan laughs and says.

Shelley smiled like trouble.

"Shelly, sooner or later you'll be a winged researcher in the world. The request from Princess Iris should lead to your glorious future."

"But I don't..."

"Shelly, you always say that. Be confident. You can do this. This is the only job you can do."

Ruslan put his hand on Shelley's thin shoulder.

"Ok......"

Shelley received an artifact from Iris.

"Is it an ancient letter? It's also written in cryptography."

"It was in the facilities of a religious group called the Diabolos. Probably doing research on ancient civilizations, but I don't know the details. And the cipher must have something to do with ancient civilization."

"That's certainly a request for me"

Shelley looked at the artifact with interest.

"So I want to get people out of the Knights to guard the artifacts"

"What is security...?

Ruslan reacts to Iris' words.

"Actually, this artifact is being targeted by a religious group called the Diabolos."

"That's a noisy story."

Ruslan sharpened his eyes.

"Originally this artifact was also seized from the facilities of the Diocese of Diabolos. Naturally, not only this, but many other materials and goods were seized and stored. But I'm embarrassed to say that the other day, by some hand, the vault burned down, and this is the only artifact left."

"Oh, was that the fire before this? Speaking of which, it wasn't until after Iris founded the new Knights."

"Right. It's still small."

"Was it indeed The Red Knights? You're here today with the Red Knights."

"Yep..."

"Can't you trust that many existing Knights?

Iris did not answer Ruslan's sharp question.

I was just looking at Ruslan without changing one expression.

"Hmm, fine. I'll allow up to two."

"Are you two... If I hit security, I'll be fine."

Iris looked difficult.

"The work of the Knights will be delayed even if Master Iris is always on the scene."

That's what I said, a big knight sitting to the left of Iris. On a beard like a lion's hyena, a forged body. There are large cuts on the cheeks.

"Right...... Glenn, you're on guard."

"Ha, I'll take care of it"

Glenn bowed his head.

"Sister, then I will cooperate."

Alexia, sitting to the right of Iris, said.

"If we're going to allocate the number of people to security, we're going to need fewer people to respond to the pitch-black incident."

Iris was silent.

"The Red Knights are still understaffed. Besides, I know him. I'm supposed to be the one."

"Alexia, but you haven't..."

"I'm a student. I'm a student, but if I have the strength, it doesn't matter. It was my sister who said that."

"I didn't say that"

"He said something similar to that to Mr. Shelley."

To annoying Iris, Alexia smiled sparingly.

"I used to be so cute..."

Iris whining softly.

"I hear you. Sister, I want to know. What is their purpose? And... are you going to antagonize us"

But it's dangerous.

"I know."

Iris and Alexia stared for a while.

"Okay. Request cooperation only to the extent that it does not interfere with your education and with less dangerous tasks."

"Thank you"

Alexia smiled and bowed her head.

"Regards, about the artifact"

Iris sighed and told Shelley.
