[ Episode 314. Superhuman proof]
After finishing the lecture, I was having a conversation with Lucia, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, when suddenly the students came running.
Hearing that a suspicious person had appeared on the premises of the Faculty of Engineering, he hurriedly arrived at the scene and encountered an unexpected person.
‘Xavier Leonard.’
A mysterious man rumored to be the pinnacle of the royal guards and the strongest in the empire.
Not many people saw him in person, and he was always secretly by the emperor’s side.
“No one would believe me if I told you that the commander of the Royal Guard walked around the academy grounds in casual clothes like that.”
“You are Count Cromwell.”
Xavier still held the sword in his hand and looked at me curiously.
It was a creepy eye with a particularly prominent white, but just looking at it without saying a word sent a chill down my spine.
“Why did you come to the academy? If necessary, I will guide you.”
“I came to find you. It is Hwangmyeong.”
did you come looking for me?
No, and if it were Hwangmyeong, it would be an official visit dressed properly. Why did you come in that way?
“First, insert the sword.”
Vivian stepped forward and spoke quietly.
The appearance of not caring whether the opponent was the 10 Continental Knights or the Guards Commander was reassuring yet slightly uneasy.
“…….”
As far as I know, Xavier is a strong man who can compete with Maximin.
He was a different Auror Master than Ulug, whom he had dealt with leisurely before.
“Adrias Cromwell, receive the emperor.”
Xavier ignored Vivian’s words and went on with his own words.
“I receive the imperial glory.”
First of all, it’s the emperor, so you can’t ignore it.
As I got down on one knee, Xavier pulled out a letter with the imperial seal from his bosom.
“Adrias, Count of Cromwell, enter the imperial palace as soon as possible and prove your abilities. If the proof is successful, you will be given the title of Auror Master and one of the superhuman privileges. more.”
As I stayed still with my eyes down on the floor, I could feel Xavier moving.
“The emperor has been sent down.”
Only then did I stand up and look directly at Xavier.
“Sir Xavier is unusual for you to come here like this.”
“I was just carrying out Your Majesty’s orders.”
A bizarre expressionless face with a mechanical tone.
It is said that normal superhumans can count on one hand, but Xavier was particularly strange.
“Let me ask you one thing. Do you have a set date?”
“seal? There is no such thing. Count Cromwell, you will head to the imperial palace with me from now on.”
From now on?
You’ve been very determined.
“It is too sudden.”
“That is none of my business. So follow me.”
“Before that, put that sword in first.”
It was surprising that Xavier, the head of the Royal Guards, came in person, but his words to go and prove the Aura Master right away were absurd.
What the hell is the emperor thinking?
‘Wait a minute……’
Let’s think about the emperor’s intention. I wondered if the expected time had arrived.
If the flow of the original game was to follow, the chaos episode was supposed to continue after Lewis graduated.
‘Is it faster?’
I couldn’t tell.
In the end, it was faster to meet the emperor in person to find out.
“Follow me.”
“I will follow. Before that, put the sword in first. Aren’t students anxious?”
As I was talking, I thought it was better.
The proof of the Auror Master was over soon anyway, so there was no time pressure.
We should examine the Emperor’s intentions.
‘Maybe I’ll try to recover my original sin now?’
Maybe crawling into the tiger’s den with my feet.
“Prove superhuman!”
“Crazy, crazy. To prove that you are a superhuman in your 20s…”
As I was lost in my thoughts, the students became agitated as if the atmosphere had never been serious.
“If it’s really proven, won’t the shy dean’s youngest record be broken?”
“It breaks by a huge margin. I don’t think anyone will break Professor Adrias’s record in the future…” Just
when the students were agitated, Xavier, who put the sword back in, came out and saw Vivian and started walking ahead.
“By the way, sir Xavier, have you talked to Principal Deos?”
“There is no need for permission to perform the emperor’s duties.”
You are very stupid.
In the case of Xavier, it was difficult to deal with because he had not had much experience in games.
Even in the game, I only heard rumors that he had similar skills to Maximin, but it was unknown what Aura Biggi was actually like.
“I’m going to say it first.”
“You don’t have to step out. you there.”
Xavier pointed at Luis, who happened to be looking at us.
“You go and tell me.”
Then he started walking again.
I didn’t know he was such an unusual character, but I was a bit surprised.
“professor.”
Louis looked at me with an expression saying not to worry and nodded.
“Don’t worry, I will deliver it. Be careful.”
“I will go with you and tell you. Senior, go quickly and get proof.”
Lucia, who had been following along and looking around, also said with a wink.
“thanks.”
I waved to Lucia and Louise and followed Xavier.
As we walked along with Xavier and naturally boarded the mana injury train, a strange silence surrounded us.
“Sir Xavier.”
Still, I can’t miss this rare opportunity, so I’ll have to talk.
“Speak.”
“Is there any particular reason you came that way? Also, you could have had someone with a subordinate deliver the imperial order to me in the first place.”
“This is an order that His Majesty gave me directly. It’s not something anyone else can do.”
Then he opened his mouth again in a blunt manner.
“I took off the armor of the Guards Commander because it was too conspicuous, but there is no one in this empire who can defeat me without armor.”
“Then you came without any notice?”
“It had to be done quickly.”
fast? Why?
After all, there seems to be something…
No matter how much I think about it, it was read as the beginning of a great chaos scenario.
‘A scenario of chaos in which the entire continent is engulfed in war. Thanks to that, the destruction level episode progresses.’
In the first place, I had no power to stop the huge nation called the Empire.
If I could have prevented it, I would have naturally prevented the destruction level episode, but it’s just a pity.
“By the way, Earl Cromwell.”
By the way, Xavier was the same count as me.
It could be seen that the title was low for the strongest in the empire, but it was almost like an honorary title, so even the marquis could not treat it carelessly.
“Why are you like that?”
“If you are not an Auror Master, why are you called an Auror Master? Thanks to you, I think the proof will end in collapse.”
“…….”
What is it? How are you not?
“Before I met you, rumors spread like that, so of course I thought you were an Aura Master. But in reality, it is different.”
“Are you saying I’m not an Auror Master?”
“okay.”
“How do you know?”
Xavier stared at me with an expressionless face. I felt bad when I looked at the unusual eyes full of white.
“I am Xavier Leonard. The strongest sword in the empire that supports His Majesty.”
Seeing Xavier finish his speech as if the title was all he wanted to say, he wanted to punch him.
‘Is it related to Aura Biggi?’
I knew of the 10 Continents as well as many unknown strong players, but I didn’t know about Xavier.
In the first place, since there was no conflict with the Empire in the game, I had never felt the helplessness of Xavier, who was only by the emperor’s side.
“Shall I show you now?”
But just in case, I tried bluffing.
“What do you mean?”
“Oh come on.”
When I spoke confidently, Xavier made eye contact with me with a terrifying look and did not speak.
“There is no need for that. The scheduled superhuman proof will be paid regardless of whether you are an Auror Master or not.”
He looked away as if he wasn’t interested at all. It was the attitude that it didn’t matter whether I was an Auror Master or not.
Kiik—
The train quickly arrived at Laudelen, the capital where the imperial palace was located.
After getting off the train, we walked straight toward the carriage station.
“found!”
Then, among the crowd at the carriage station, someone shouted at us.
“Acquaintance?”
Vivian asked me, slightly wary.
“no. I don’t know……”
I replied, shaking my head, but I stopped talking when I saw the sentence engraved on the person’s bowler hat.
“Mohaime?”
It was the coat of arms of the Duke of Morheim.
Rurr—!
At the same time as the man shouted, the road suddenly started to open among the crowd.
“It’s good that you came earlier.”
A familiar voice at the same time.
“Write it, whoa. How are you, brother?”
Minus Morhaime appeared, as always, in a butcher’s suit and with a plethora of men, through the divided crowd.
He threw out the cigarette he was smoking and smiled.
“The divine water is clear.”
“It’s been a while, Your Highness Morhaime.”
I was very surprised by the sudden appearance of Morhaime.
But before he knew what was going on, Minus beckoned to Xavier.
“It’s been a while, Sir Xavier?”
“Duke of Morhaime.”
Although it was Xavier who arrogantly referred to him as a duke despite being a count, Minus was not offended at all.
“Yes, yes. It’s fate that we met like this, shall we talk at the teahouse for a while?”
“We were on our way to the imperial palace after receiving the imperial order. Do not interrupt.”
Xavier flatly refused, but Minus didn’t take it lightly either.
“I didn’t tell you, Xavier. I told Earl Cromwell.”
“Duke of Morhaime, you must have matters to deal with before Earl Cromwell.”
Minus laughed at Xavier’s meaningful words.
“Hey Sir Xavier. I thought you didn’t know anything, but you knew everything?”
But that laugh was never kind.
“The letter sent by His Majesty is not so easy to decide. It’s something you have to think about over time.”
“Then why do you want to meet Earl Cromwell when you should be worried?”
“What are you going to do by hiding it? It’s an open secret, but Lord Adrias and I are very close. Do you know Sir Xavier?”
While Minus spoke, his men wrapped around us in a circle.
“I just want to talk to you for a little while. It doesn’t take long. Thirty minutes at most?”
“I do not tolerate bullshit.”
Xavier took a step back.
I’m surprised
I thought it would only move according to the principles.
“Then shall we have a light cup of tea? Let’s talk over there.”
Under Xavier’s watch, Minus took me to the tea house next door.
But just before entering, he said to Xavier, who followed us.
“From here on, it’s a story between families, so we want to enter alone.”
“What nonsense…”
“What would I dare to do with Sir Xavier and Prince Cromwell, who had received the imperial throne? It’s only 30 minutes. No, it could end even shorter, so don’t worry and wait.”
After all, is a peacock a peacock?
At first, even though it seemed like he was talking badly, he didn’t say anything anymore and just stood there and watched us.
“Let’s go in.”
Minus entered first and I entered.
“Will the escort driver wait outside for a moment?”
Minus said to Vivian, who came along with me.
“Xavier will be uncomfortable. Please understand me a little bit.”
At his restraint, Vivian looked at me.
Are those eyes going to clear this up? he seemed to ask.
“Please just this once, Vivian.”
“okay.”
Thanks to her almost absolute compliance with my orders, she went out again without showing any sign.
“Good good. Finally, the two of us are left.”
Minus rubbed his thick hands and glanced at the movement outside.
“Do you know I’ll be here?”
“hmm? Oh, I was trying to find the news that you had returned to the academy. Then, I accidentally heard that the imperial palace had sent Xavier to the academy, so I predicted the route in advance.”
His light tone of voice sounded like a greeting.
“Adrias.”
“yes.”
“You must not go to the imperial palace.”
It was clearly still a light tone.
The smile on his lips was the same.
But what he said was not at all like that.
“If you go to the imperial palace now, you will die.”
