Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Isabelle staggered with bitter eyes. The approaching winter in Krasilov was bitterly cold.

Its mid-November. In Krasilov, this season is generally referred to as real winter. By the way, there are three more fake winters in this country.

Foreign students were contemplating even cutting off their toes despite taking all possible measures to withstand the cold. The path leading to the campus was covered in ice.

I cant believe it damn it!! (Ecdysis)

Weather because of the weather? (Isabelle)

No, because of the final exams (Ecdysis)

Isabelle grumbled to Ecdysis, rubbing her nose.

I risked my life to save a country and fought through a siege, and when I come back, all they talk about is exams? I dont have the courage to live in this world anymore (Ecdysis)

Aww, come on, youre only a first year! (Isabelle)

Such of laziness sounds like a Droavian. No, not really. Its just human. Yeah, yeah. Thats how humans are. (Elpheira)

Beside her, Elpheira chuckled quietly.

Well, isnt it better than studying? (Elpheira)

Pick up your weapons. Today, one of us is leaving early. (Ecdysis)

Planning to take sick leave for the exams, thats quite a Drovian thing to do, isnt it? (Elpheira)

The banter between the two was mundane, so Isabelle sighed lightly and changed her step.

Seriously, its really cold. (Isabelle)

Isabelle shook her head.

Today, the stares are piercingly sharp. This isnt good.

A trained agent should be able to maintain stealth and naturalness anywhere. They should blend in wherever, whenever.

Ivan stopped walking and scanned his surroundings.

!!!

Hey, hey, over here!

Doesnt seem like an undergraduate

Diplomat? That kind of vibe?

The students turned their heads hastily, murmuring. Ivan narrowed his eyes and scrutinized each of them.

All the personal information about these school students flashed lightly in his mind. There was no one among them who seemed suspicious.

So, if theyre not attached to a spy.

If its not a spy from a foreign friendly country then is it Count Valkas tail.

There are still matters to settle with Count Valka. In exchange for generously providing the dwarfs industrial military complex, the Count dispatched two divisions to rescue him.

Although he should meet with headquarters soon, hes a stubborn old man like most military commanders during wartime. Hes not someone to be taken lightly.

Those glances now are evidence of that.

Preparing groundwork before negotiations. Well, now that hes switched to the princesss faction, he might indeed want to compete for loyalty.

The Counterintelligence Command could be considered loyal to the princess. In such a situation, if the military command is intercepted, it wouldnt be strange for them to prepare for containment from the militarys perspective.

Ivan shifted his steps, mindful of the weighty presence of the gun in his arms.

Separated from the group, Elpheira sat with a furrowed brow. Although it was the same university they were returning to after a long time, the annoying fellows seemed to have doubled.

The fear of being tortured by Professor Ivan.

Everyone, quiet.

From a familiar voice, with chilling eyes. However, it came from a completely different person who appeared.

Before fear, a question arose.

What the hell with his appearance? A very logical question.

Focus. I will summarize the contents of the exam for next week.

The classroom fell silent. Ivan didnt need to tell them to be quiet. The rumor of his return was already known, but for a different reason.

The students were staring blankly at the man standing on the platform.

Assuming that all of you have completed Professor Enriques course, I will set the exam within that scope. The exam will consist of 30% written and 70% practical.

No one had ever asked why there was a final exam in a P/F evaluation class. Simply because they never even thought of such a question.

Isabelle listened absently to Ivans words and nodded her head.

This class is interesting.

Why is it interesting? Just being here makes it interesting. Its amazing she thought.

I should go home quickly and make some kimchi. She made up her mind.

*

Eshi!! Eshi!! Did you see? Did you see the man?!

Shh, quiet down, Isabelle!

Exiting the command and written exams, Ecdysis hurriedly covered Isabelles mouth. Even with her mouth firmly shut, Isabelle was still giggling.

Is she finally losing it? Poor thing.

How burdensome must the exams have been for her. She wasnt someone who studied so hard.

Whats going on?

You have to see it for yourself. Its really crazy!

What, what is it?

Big Brother shaved.

Hey! No spoilers!

Isabelle patted Eugenes back loudly. Eugene just shrugged.

Well, anyway, the news spread all over the knight department. It was so loud that even the theology department heard about it.

Sh-Shaved? Why?

I wanted to ask about that. Are you free tonight? We decided to gather at my place for dinner and a small party. The old man even said to bring everyone!

Even if youre not free, this is something you should make time for!

Ecdysis regretted, hitting the ground. Ah, I should have skipped that class. After all, its just a P/F course, and I skipped it for the final rehearsal. Why now?

She grumbled while stroking her coat made of northern fox fur.

*

And finally, at dinner, with Isabelles full effort-made dinner in front of them.

After maintaining silence, Ivan glanced over the aspects of the party and spoke up.

Within a year, the United Kingdom will definitely fall.

The party spilled their kimchi stew they were eating.
