CH 166

: Why did you do that? (3)

Confucius?

Siegfried frowned at the sudden appearance of Jamie.

"You're here to fight."

Siegfried stood up at the traces of intense mana felt on Jamie's body.

what happened?

"Things got a little bigger."

Jamie sat down on the sofa, looking slightly weary, and Siegfried took a seat across from him.

"What?"

"The demons are related."

" Demons?"

Siegfried looked at him with a face, wondering why he suddenly came and said something strange.

"Was 8 years old when you wanted to do something like a joke?"

I'm not kidding.

"I'm suddenly a demon, so it sounds like a joke, right?"

Jamie sighed as he tried to shoot something.

okay. this is a human

It's something I don't hate for being such a human being, and it's something I can trust.

"Listen well."

Jamie recounted the details of what had just happened.

Siegfried's expression changed every moment.

At first, his face was still unbelievable, but as the story went on, his complexion grew darker.

It was such a serious matter, and if it was done wrong, it could cause great damage to the entire kingdom beyond the magical realm.

Siegfried, who had put his thoughts together for a moment without saying a word, let out a low sigh.

" Are they all real?"

Yes, that is correct.

Sigh.

Siegfried sighed heavily, then glanced at Jamie's face.

He was looking at himself with a serious expression without a single wave of shaking.

It seemed sincere.

He said scratching his bald head.

"First of all, it was a very good thing that you came to me first."

"Oh, I almost regretted it."

"I almost kicked him in the ass, but if I did, I would have regretted it too."

"Anyway, I came here because the elder was the most reliable."

"It is an honor."

Siegfried was the current head of the magic world and the man with the most distance from the magic world.

In particular, because of the overwhelmingly long time outside, it is difficult to make contact with those who spread Apophis.

For the last two months, I've only been with Jamie, so I can trust him more than anyone else.

Siegfried said.

"Three elders . I thought I was a dismal human, but I didn't know he was crazy enough to cross the line like this.

Siegfried looked very disappointed.

Although the relationship with the 3 elders was not good, they still respected each other as wizards.

It was because he knew how difficult it would be to rise to the position of an elder in the magic world.

But, what if that skill actually borrowed the power of demons?

It was a terrible thing.

There is no such thing as a sense of belonging to the magic world, but this was one of the spaces where he stayed.

To pollute such a place was an insult that even Siegfried, who had no interest in him, could not bear.

Jamie felt Siegfried's mana running erratically.

Siegfried said.

"It has to be dealt with as quickly as it is a matter."

"So, is there anyone I can turn to for help?"

He found out there were three elders behind the gang, but Jamie didn't think he was the end.

Even if it was the end, the demons were looking after him.

He was said to be the devil of lust.

I don't know how much position he has in the Demon Realm, but if it's enough to alleviate the side effects of Apophis, he'll be at least a Demonic Nobility level.

'If it's less than Reeta, it's good enough.'

Reeta, a baron of demons who made the Mirinine forest of Apton a wasteland.

The power he possesses is the lowest among the demon realm aristocrats.

Even so, it has the power of a master class, so it would be a headache if a demon over one's own work was looking after him.

"It is not."

"Who are you?"

"They are wizards of quality."

Jamie nodded at that.

Equality, one of the three major organizations in the magical world, all composed of commoners.

The third elder Serpent Gerol was a royalist and a nobleman with considerable influence. Although he was not given a separate position, his position was firmly established just by being an elder in the magic world.

So, magicians of equal quality who reject the royalists and nobles will definitely help.

Jamie remembered 5th Elder Luke Pretzel, whom he had seen at a meeting of elders earlier. Although his insides were dark, his skills were real.

"But I don't want to get involved."

I understand.

Equality and Siegfried are not on good terms.

The reason was simple.

Siegfried did not like the idea of equality of equality, and Equality did not like Siegfried, who did not enter the subject of equality as a slave.

"Fufu. Come to think of it this way, Equality might be holding hands with the three elders."

Equality of class is, after all, equal to equality of power.

The ideal of equal quality is a world where there is no discrimination.

If it was similar to the purpose of the three elders organization, it was similar, but not at all different.

"Exclude."

Siegfried nodded at Jamie's words.

The two of them filtered it out, distinguishing whether it was a word that could be written in this way or not.

"How about the second elder?"

Marquis Linmer.

Currently, he is one of the strongest wizards in Seldam, and in the magic world, he is a person of great influence that is comparable to the first elder.

With his help, this case could be easily closed.

Confucius. Confucius must have felt it too, but the more we talked, the more ."

"You think we should do it alone?"

Yes. The 2 elders are good enough people to trust, but no one can be trusted as long as the demons are involved. That is my conclusion."

"So do I."

In the process of choosing a person to seek help, the two had already reached a half-final conclusion.

In this situation where you don't know who the person who made a contract with the demons is, you shouldn't trust anyone, no matter how trustworthy you are.

Demons are things that are good at pretending.

Pretending to be trusted, pretending to trust, etc. If you believed in such things, you would end up with an ax in the back of your foot.

Especially.

Then Siegfried said.

"That teacher. Didn't even Kennyak say he didn't know his identity?

Yeah.

"Then, the teacher would be on the same level as the three elders. Or right down there."

"I think the same. And Mary confessed that their organization is global, but I don't think that's true.

Yes. Perhaps they lied to increase their loyalty."

If the members of the organization do not know each other, like a point organization, anxiety increases from within and the entire organization is likely to shake.

So, if you introduce yourself as a huge organization from the beginning, you become a faithful servant to the sense of exaltation that you belong to such a place.

In particular, it would have been easier for a human being who had the same organization and purpose as Mary.

'Even if the purpose of the organization is really equality of talent.'

Jamie thought no.

Even if that was the intention in the first place, there was a high possibility that the upper part of the place that easily crossed the line was rotten.

"It's just the two of us."

Okay.

"For now, you can learn a lot if you take only three chapters, so it won't be that difficult."

It's true that he's strong enough to be called an elder, but the three elders are still class 6 wizards.

Siegfried could not compete.

"If that doesn't work, you can use this power."

Jamie held out her left hand.

The pattern of the Pyro shed a weak golden light.

Although he only received the mark of a saint, the divinity itself was not strong, but it had one special function.

'I was reluctant to use it.'

It's better than making the situation worse.

"First of all, let's start by figuring out how to treat the author as the third elder. Confucius must be tired, but he is resting."

Siegfried, an elder in the magical world, would be able to find out the location and approach of the three elders more easily than Jamie.

Jamie nodded without a word.

* * *

Upon entering the office, the remaining teachers greeted Jamie about what was going on.

Jamie said he had something to pack for a moment and headed to his seat.

Jamie sat down in the chair and sighed.

'I came here with an easy mind, but I was involved in a very heavy task.'

It was ridiculous and I laughed out loud.

Suddenly, you're a demon.

The secret of the nutritional supplement called Apophis was also shocking, but it was still hard to believe that the source was the demons.

But it must be true, since he heard it firsthand after he took over Mary's brain.

"Let's get some wind."

Sitting was also a bit uncomfortable.

Jamie quietly left the office and walked to the break room.

The academy, where everyone left school, was very quiet.

The dimly lit classroom was filled with the sunset light and reddish.

It was a time when I was walking slowly with my back.

Ah! Teacher Jamie!"

At that moment, Javelin's voice was heard from behind.

I turned around and saw him approaching with a smile.

"Aren't you still at work?"

"I came back because I left something for a while."

"Aha, that's right. Did you find anything?"

"Yeah, what. But do you have anything to say to me?"

"It's not a business, have you seen Sophia?"

When Sophia was mentioned, Jamie was momentarily taken aback, but answered calmly and unobtrusively.

"I haven't seen it before . But what are you doing?"

haha. I have something else to talk about. Then, please enter carefully."

Javelin waved her hand and turned around.

Jamie looked at his back as he moved away.

I suddenly had a thought.

Javelin is a flawless man. He's always smiling, so I don't know what he's thinking, but I haven't heard of any mistakes he's made until now.

I didn't talk much with the teachers, but when I did, what I always got was a compliment to the javelin.

This is because they are implicitly regarded as leaders and rely on teachers a lot.

So were the students. The students respected and liked him for his friendly personality and tolerance that embraced each and every student.

In addition, he manages the entire academy instead of Siegfried, and can communicate directly with the Superintendent of the 3rd Elder.

'Won the respect of teachers and students, the real power of the Academy, the right to directly interview the 3 elders, and finally.'

When Silver went missing, many teachers worried about him.

It was then that the javelin came out.

He said he would contact Silver directly, and if not, he would go home.

I don't know what happened after that.

Teacher.

Jamie called the javelin.

Javelin stopped walking and looked back.

"Why?"

"How have you been, Mr. Silver? I don't think I've heard any news since that day.

Alas. You're feeling a little unwell. I'm worried. Even someone who was so healthy suddenly collapsed. Jamie is still young, so take care of your health even when you grow up~"

Saying that, Jamie asked Javelin, who was about to leave.

"Why?"

Javelin, who had stopped again, asked without a smile this time.

Teacher?

"Why?"

"What does that mean ."

teacher. Why?"

At the repeated question, Javelin raised her index finger and pointed at my face with a bewildered face.

"Am I wrong?"

It felt like a double question.

Jamie smiled and nodded.

"I did. blunder.

which ?"

"It was a mistake to be so perfect."

I like the people so much.

so talented

Always killing emotions and making people smile only.

Jamie generally did not trust those who hide their emotions.

Because they must have a plan.

Just like right now.

"You were so close, Sun. student.

Javelin bowed her head without answering, and fixed her glasses. The sunset light reflected off the glasses and shone.

He still looked at Jamie with a friendly smile.

"This is the one."

Javelin said.

"Did you get caught?"

His eyes turned black.
