Chapter 314

[ 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.

“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.”
