Chapter 186

Ed subjugation battle (9)

When Assistant Professor Claire arrived at the duty officer’s office the entire place reeked of alcohol.

“... ”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-”

It is dawn and the sun has not yet risen.

She braved a sudden downpour and arrived 20 minutes early than the originally scheduled time.

The sight she saw when she entered the duty office was Professor Kalide sitting in his office chair snoring with his head pulled back.

The office desk was filled with all kinds of tobacco and bottles of distilled spirits. It seemed more accurate to describe the inside of the office as a cave rather than a place for people to live.

“Professor Kaleid... ”

Senior professors take turns as the on-call worker in charge of night work at the Trix Building.

This is because a certain level of decision-making power and authority is needed to deal with emergencies or changes that occur at night.

Most of the work is handled by the advisor and his student as a group but since the youngest professor in the elemental science department is Assistant Professor Claire... He had to work with Professor Carl Reid at all times.

Of course check for changes in night patrols check security details for major buildings etc... All the chores were the responsibility of Assistant Professor Claire. In fact even Assistant Professor Claire did not find this unfair.

However what gives Assistant Professor Clare a headache is Professor Kallade’s work attitude.

Claire is said to have been born with good fortune but is she paying the price for all her accumulated blessings all at once?

To that extent Professor Kallade’s presence was like a disaster for Assistant Professor Claire.

“Professor Kaleid... wake up... ! You need to sign the checklist... !”

Professor Kalide is completely drunk and snoring in his sleep. He has even covered his face with a book to block the light from the lights.

Eventually Professor Kallade stood up with a crunching sound and looked at Assistant Professor Claire with blank eyes.

The bushy back of his head is floating and his beard which looks rough even at first glance is sticking out.

Even though he is a professor and wears a pure white gown... It just looks miserable because of the tobacco chips and spilled alcohol stains here and there.

A fearsome elemental wizard who was said to have single-handedly destroyed half of a group of demi-humans who once attacked the imperial capital.

There was a time when even the strict laws of the imperial family could not stop his temperament as a massacre so he was even called ‘the outlaw’ Kaleid...

Now it was a measure that could not be more pathetic.

“... “Are you here?”

Assistant Professor Claire almost burst into tears.

Although Professor Glast had a somewhat strict temperament he was an advisor who handled all assigned tasks neatly.

Of course as he was a thoroughly human being being under him was not an easy task.

However after accepting as my advisor a person who was the complete opposite of that... I think Professor Glast was more like a fairy.

Because at least he was a person who did his job.

“How long have you been sleeping?”

“Don’t worry. “I even remember greeting you as you went out on patrol.”

“It means you fell asleep right away... !”

Professor Kalide staggered raised his upper body and spat out the chewed tobacco crumbs in his mouth onto the ashtray.

And in order to breathe life into my still drunken mind I gave a big bend to my body.

“Professor Kaleid... ! If Vice Principal Rachel passes by like this what are you going to do? ! I heard you were reported to be at the Trix Hall tonight... !”

“Even so that woman just passed by... “I vaguely remember her.”

“Hehe... !”

After Principal Obel Forcius Vice Principal Rachel holds the greatest power within the school.

Lately it feels like he’s been at odds with Principal Obel but the fact that he’s a far superior superior to a junior professor doesn’t change.

As Assistant Professor Claire’s complexion turned pale Professor Kalaid waved his arm as if he was okay with it.

“It’s okay it’s okay. I’m in a relationship with that woman. Hey... A woman who used to tremble at the sight of minor demi-human soldiers during the war is now the vice principal of an academy of this size. “Time flies.”

“Oh no... Even after seeing this I just passed by... ?”

“What are you going to do? She’s the one who put me on unscheduled night shift in the first place. Well suddenly she said she was empty... ”

“Is that so? Even so... .”

Professor Kalide roughly picked up a piece of tissue blew his nose then balled it up and took a shooting stance toward the trash can in the corner.

After a moment of preparation I threw it with a swish and the piece of toilet paper flew in a parabola hit the outside of the entrance and settled on the floor.

“That woman is not only timid but she is also cunning. Why would you take it upon yourself to manage the on-duty personnel schedule something that only low-level employees do? “It must have all been intentional.”

“Intention? What is your intention... ?”

well. “It’s obvious but there’s no reason for me to think deeply about it.”

Assistant Professor Claire tilted her head and looked at Kalide.

He gulped and licked his mouth as if he felt an unpleasant sensation in his mouth and then he stood up with a shaky body.

what... “I’ve seen her face for a long time so she probably knows enough about me.”

“If you know enough... ”

When you think of Professor Kalide what comes to mind... . Most of them are pathetic.

First of all I never work. To the point where I wonder if it’s really right to pay a salary to a person like this.

“... ”

Now that I think about it something on my office desk is more messy than I thought.

It is a common sight to see alcohol bottles rolling around and smelly tobacco powder falling here and there.

Claire has to clean up everything before her shift.

But apart from that... There were documents uploaded that I didn’t normally see.

“What is this?”

“Reporting documents from the living quarters. “The living quarters are not under our jurisdiction so we just threw them nearby.”

“But it’s closer to Maxes Bridge... ! You don’t have to check... ?”

“Checked. Umm... What was it... ”

Professor Kallade spoke as he uncapped a bottle of distilled liquor in the back of his office.

hmm... Actually I think I checked it in a dream... I definitely remembered it in my dream... ”

please... .!!! “Professor Kalaid!!”

Assistant Professor Claire was in tears.

If a report came up at night like this there was a possibility that it was urgent or important. First of all this is something you have to get into your head.

It was left on the office table for hours so it would be a shame if it got caught in the upper part.

It was time to lift the documents without even shaking off the rainwater from my clothes to check the situation.

– kkieeikik

Late morning. Night duty office.

No one comes in unless they are on duty. Time and place are like that.

However the girl with reddish-brown hair came through the rain... He was looking at the two people with his merchant robe hat pulled back.

you... ”

hello.

At least among those who are professors of elemental science there is no one who does not know the girl’s name.

While currently a sophomore and also serving as the stock manager of a large commercial association... This is because as a student he was an honor student among honor students sitting in Class A.

“Who is this? “Snake Snake from 2nd grade class A is here.”

Poor posture sitting astride the table with your feet up.

Professor Kalide who is just getting out there can be called a model for bad teachers... She doesn’t seem particularly embarrassed by her appearance.

“What happens to the duty room of the Trix building at this late hour?”

Lortel came in shaking off the rainwater took a seat across from the table and smiled like an adult.

“I was wondering if Vice Principal Rachel was here.”

“I think I should first explain how I came up to the Trix Building to look for someone at this late hour.”

Assistant Professor Claire was sitting next to the table unable to say a word.

In the end in order to overcome Yenika’s elemental magic you have to rely on the advantage of the compatibility relationship of elemental properties but even that is meaningless in front of Yenika who can handle all kinds of spirits.

Strong.

With that alone not even all the famous students in Sylvania can present their business cards in front of Yenika.

Yenika who was already gifted with strong sensitivity grew more ridiculously than expected while interacting with Ed Rothtaylor.

Now it’s not enough to break through with Taily’s power.

So Tailly’s journey ends on the 3rd floor of Elte Commercial.

Tailie who was gradually losing consciousness soon completely lost all strength in her body.

My efforts to raise my body by gritting my teeth and maintaining consciousness eventually subsided.

“Ugh...” ”

When Taily’s movements completely stopped Ziggs came up from the stairs downstairs.

Since there were no major injuries there seemed to be no difficulty in holding the body together. In the first place Taily had no intention of hurting Ziggs and only focused on clearing a path.

“It’s over Senior Yenika.”

huh.

Yenika nodded quietly as she slowly reverse-summoned the spirits.

Ed’s message to prevent Taily McLaure from breaching the Chamber building as much as possible.

The series of plans to use the commercial building as a battlefield to cause chaos while checking Tailley’s specifications and stimulating his growth if possible were all achieved.

From the beginning all they had to do was block Taily’s path but Clevius’ intrusion made things a little more complicated.

Not only that but Tailly had stronger willpower than I thought so it took longer and had more trouble.

“I didn’t expect it to last this long... ”

“I will take care of the unconscious Taily. “Please go back and get some rest Senior Yenika.”

huh. I need to tell Ed about the situation. “I’m going back to camp.”

Yenika put the magical engineering supplies back into her bosom shook out her wand and gathered it away before speaking.

So Yenika... I quietly looked up at the rainy sky.

The purpose was to test Tailie but why is there such interest in Tailley’s skills?

To put it bluntly Yenica did not have a very good impression of Tailley.

This is because he kept showing hostility toward Ed or making aggressive remarks. However if we look into the cause Ed’s behavior during the entrance exam was the most fundamental reason so he did not necessarily blame Tailley.

Although she was just that kind of person Ed was strangely interested in Tailley’s specifications.

On one hand it seemed like he was really praying for his growth... Yenika also couldn’t hide her curiosity.

Tailly certainly had a strong will and tremendous growth potential but... This is because Ed is not far behind in terms of his will and ability to grow.

If Tailley’s strong growth ability is his destiny as a protagonist Ed Ross Taylor’s growth is the result of his own will.

Of course I am not in a position to understand the huge difference. At least Yenica just affirms Ed as a person to person.

That was when Yenika tried to sort out the situation.

“Ed Rosstaylor is in that camp.”

The voice of the boy who thought he had lost consciousness... . It echoed in the VIP waiting room.

Before I could react a storm of magical power surged throughout the waiting room.

– Quaaaaaaaaaa!

Yenika and Ziggs reacted quickly and crossed over without major damage but the exterior wall of the building could not do the same.

The exterior wall of the Elte Commercial Building is raining... About one-fifth of it was destroyed just by the release of magical power.

– Quang! Quaaaaaaaaa!

“Ugh... !”

Yenica quickly summoned spirits to block the aftermath and Ziggs also hid behind the debris to minimize damage from the impact.

Meanwhile the magical powers that bloomed... It was probably pushed up from the body of Sword Saint Tailly.

Swordsman Ceremony – Terminal As implemented in it is the final kick that appears when cornered.

This is a skill that allows you to resurrect in a fully intact state before you run out of energy and lose consciousness allowing you to continue the fight for a while.

It is a life-changing technique that Luden the first swordsman came up with after seeing blood sword techniques and it is a technique that is usually forgotten about because it is only activated when it is truly pushed to its extreme limit.

However Tailly who clashed swords with Clevius who uses blood sword techniques... In that short period of time I succeeded in learning everything even this critical period.

A flame that burns briefly just before losing consciousness.

That is why it burns more splendidly and magnificently.

– Kaaaaaaaaaa!

Is it a sword attack? Or did a beam of magical energy pass by?

It was split in two. This VIP waiting room is nothing else.

– Kiiiiiiiing!

– Kugugoogung!

One clean vertical cut mark.

Climb through the stained glass and pass through the floor... The traces of that sword image continue very minutely.

Centering on that... This building started to crack.

what... .?”

Tailly raised the great sword again... This time he swung his sword diagonally.

The target is neither Yenika nor Ziggs. The goal is this huge Elte Chamber building which is no longer seen.

Like an egg being cut by a thread knife... So naturally the building begins to fall apart.

– Coogung! Kugugoogung!

The building begins to collapse as rubble and debris fall.

Even the building of the Sylvania branch of the Elte Company which must have been expensive will disappear in front of the Sword Saint’s sword.

– Hwiiik!

The most urgent thing is to escape from the collapsing building.

As soon as Jenica and Ziggs made eye contact they each escaped out the window in their own way.

Ziggs settled down using wind magic and Yenika came out riding a spirit.

In the vacant lot of Sanghoe where the rain and wind are blowing... Elvira was seen running out of the already collapsing rubble holding Clevius.

– Coogung! Couuuuuuuuuck!

The grand sight of that large building collapsing.

In the sky you can even see Traceiana jumping out using flight magic.

He even shows the composure to rescue the employees who were wandering around the company by using telekinetic magic but even then a look of embarrassment is evident on his face.

– Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

– Quaaaaaaaaaa!

Each sword strike feels like firing a cannonball.

Everyone just looked at the powerful blow as if they were dumbfounded.

Isn’t that just a last-minute rampage before losing consciousness?

If you hold out for just that moment Tailly the Sword Saint will eventually fall.

There is no reason to put effort into a struggling pattern that will collapse on its own when time runs out. It is an attack pattern that you can easily figure out how to deal with just by looking at it.

Taylor herself knows this. There is not much time given.

so that... . On top of the collapsed debris I saw a path extending toward the northern forest.

Before I could think about anything I kicked the floor and ran away.

Footprints and traces of people passing through the forest.

Those are not traces of one person. These are the footprints of a strong man and a woman accompanying him.

The opponent... It’s in the camp in the northern forest.

There is very little time given to Taily. Now I’m really on the verge of losing consciousness.

Before that he cuts down Ed Rosstaylor.

With that thought... Tailley McLaure ran through the woods.
