Academy Ankle Reaper

40. A star is born

It was a big uproar among the current students that the dungeon, which freshmen enter as an annual event, was out of control.

I can’t believe this happened at an academy that promotes safety as the most important selling point.

As the anxiety of the students, the children of noble families, came to the brink of exploding, the principal calmed the anxiety in a completely different way.

“This kind of fire will be put to sleep quickly if you put a bigger fire distance.”

It made Andy Robinson, who was in charge of the class caught up in the case and actually saved the students in the runaway dungeon, into a hero.

Public opinion about him was normal when it was bad.

I even checked the dungeon in advance to make sure it was safe and went in, but the dungeon was out of control.

Originally, it was a big issue that could go from the beginning to the maximum dismissal due to insufficient field investigation.

It doesn’t matter if the Devil Church was behind this incident or not.

As a society, no matter what the cause, there was a law that needed someone to take responsibility for an incident.

But here the principal went the other way.

The entrance to the dungeon was blocked and the students were isolated, but a brave instructor from the former Imperial Knights who rescued them all.

If he hadn’t dealt with it properly, there would have been many casualties, but as a hero who rescued all the students without a single casualty.

The picture was pretty good.

Andy looks tall and has good skills.

He liked the fact that he was from the Imperial Knights, and that he wasn’t from a great family.

The origins of that order of knights were those of commoners, or dragons that sprung up from a brook that prospered from families that weren’t special.

There was a big incident like a runaway in the dungeon, but the academy instructor rescued them all without causing any casualties.

His name is Andy Robinson, a former knight from the Imperial Knights and currently a swordsmanship instructor who teaches students at the academy.

Academy has such excellent educators working hard for students.

With this feeling, he worked extensively with Count Malcolm of the Newspaper Club. As a result, the anxious students calmed down with the appearance of a new hero.

In hindsight, the problem was that there was an accident in the dungeon that the academy boasted was “Safely under control.”

With the advent of more interesting and stimulating news, such trivial things were quickly buried.

However, even though many people longed for a hero from the Imperial Knights, there were also people who didn’t like that existence.

[You… What is the eldest son of Lemnos looking like!!!!]

“Sorry, Father…”

Edgar Lemnos hangs his head in a dark room without sunlight.

Edgar was the only one inside, but he was bowing his head towards someone invisible.

In front of him was an iron ball the size of a fist, and the voice of his father, Edward Lemnos, resounded loudly within it.

The figure lowering his head toward the iron ball seemed to be bowing his head toward Edward, who was not present.

It might seem strange that he was bowing his head toward someone who didn’t exist in this place, but it wasn’t strange to Edgar.

When communicating, bow your head as a courtesy to the householder.

This is a behavior he has been learning since he was very young.

[You must lead the Five Pillars…!! How could that blue kid of the Imperial Knights receive a medal without being able to play an active part in such an event!! How at the academy!!]

Edgar’s class was scheduled to go to practice the next day.

On the day the incident happened, Edgar was in class at the academy’s main building, so he knew that the incident had happened and everything was over, but he didn’t bother to say it.

If you take it out, you will surely be given a long admonishment.

With the know-how learned over a long period of time, Edgar did not say anything unnecessary.

[And… You lost to the same freshman in a duel? How long has he been out of the house and he’s already gone mad!!! ]

Edgar’s expression hardened when he heard the story he had just been told.

It is true that he was defeated by Atlas.

What he had heard until then had nothing to do with him directly, but his heart skipped a beat when he pointed out that he had really lost.

[Lemnos has always been the torch of progress that led the Five Pillars!! If you lose like that, what will the face of the family be?

That’s why those arrogant imperial knights go around shrugging their shoulders! Cheeky bastards… Just chatting around next to His Majesty…!!]

Once again, Edward is angry at the mention of the Imperial Knights.

When associated with the Imperial Knights, Edward… No, all five pillars become emotional.

That Golden Ball is also related to the Imperial Knights, to the extent that humans who only care about ‘numbers’ will show their emotions.

Edward’s emotions flared up and the usual old story began.

The deep long-cherished wish between the Imperial Knights and the Five Pillars, passed down through three generations.

Edgar, who had been silently waiting for his admonition to end, opened his mouth heavily.

“The next duel… I will definitely win.”

—————————-

In the hospital, River and Amy were sharing the same room.

Most of the other students had only scratches and were not even hospitalized, but the two were different.

However, the demonic energy of the great devil invaded the body.

I had no choice but to be hospitalized.

In Amy’s case, her anti-magic coat protected her a lot, but if she were a normal person, the situation was so serious that she would have had to have her legs amputated.

“That’s what I mean. What’s so great about this not really being a big deal?”

“Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…”

He is pulling Amy’s cheeks in the hospital room.

She was only raising her upper body from her hospital bed, with bandages wrapped around her legs.

“You almost lost the use of your legs, you know?”

“Ah..I know….”

The demonic magi of the great demon was encroaching on her bones and flesh.

If she was just a little bit later, she would have been judged irreversible and should have had her leg amputated, but she miraculously recovered.

From now on, we must learn properly.

An incident like this happened again, and if you struggle alone and go to the point where you can’t turn back, it will be difficult.

“Atlas, don’t bully Amy!!”

A soft impact on the back of her head causes her head to snap forward.

River hit me on the back of the head with a pillow.

“Amy…Was trying to save me..!! If it bothers you, don’t let it go!!”

Although isolated, River escaped safely back to the dormitory thanks to Amy giving away his artifact.

My head shakes as I continue to be beaten with a pillow.

It didn’t hurt, but it was annoying.

She had fewer outward injuries than Amy, but the inside was the problem.

She faced the great devil with her naked body without any preparation.

Due to the influence of demonic energy, the mana flowing through the body is slightly entangled and is gradually recovering.

If I did something wrong, I could have left aftereffects on my body here too.

“Then you scold me. He sent you to die alone.”

“I did that a lot when you weren’t there.”

You’ve already done a lot.

The two seem to have deepened their friendship by talking openly in the same hospital room.

It was a story that had nothing to do with me sleeping in the dormitory in good health.

I opened the well-wrapped wooden box I was holding and put it on the shelf next to the bed.

“Then eat that and everyone will recover quickly.”

“Is it okay to take this?”

Contained in the wooden box were two human-looking roots of an herb that were still covered with soil.

These were the two roots of Prometheus, a herb that can only be gathered by going to the deepest part of the deep forest.

Thanks to Mr. Nunu who sent an assassin before, this is the guy I gathered when I acted as a herbalist in the deep forest.

It’s a little out of shape, but there’s nothing like this for rejuvenation.

River’s eyes are wide as she holds the box containing Prometheus.

It’s like a herb I picked roughly from the back mountain, but if I take this Prometheus to the capital and sell it, I’ll probably get about 20 gold coins.

For reference, one gold coin is equivalent to 3 months of living expenses for a commoner.

It’s expensive for commoners, but it’s not too expensive for nobles with titles, so it’s strange that they don’t want it.

“Take it and eat it. Why are you so stingy with other people’s goodwill when you entered the school with a letter of recommendation?”

“No matter how expensive it is…”

“I collected it myself. I didn’t pay, so just take it. If you know this is precious, don’t go anywhere else and get hurt.”

If you don’t eat it, you have to force feed it.

That’s why it looks like that, but if you say it’s made of medicine with only the ingredients extracted, and it’s a nutritional supplement, it’s like a joke.

Seeing as Amy is licking her lips while watching Prometheus, she doesn’t seem to have anything to worry about over there.

Then she suddenly opened the door to the hospital room.

“It’s checkup time..”

A very tired-looking woman burst in without knocking.

The first thing you see is thick, large glasses and a white coat.

He slouches in his pocket, with a chart tucked into one arm and a mug containing a suspicious-looking liquid in the other.

Just looking at her, she looks short, but damn she was taller than me.

If you straighten your waist with a very slouched posture, you’ll go in the late 160’s…

Her wild, light green hair was loosely tied back, and her large emerald eyes shone on her dark circles.

The most unusual thing is, of course, the ‘pointed ears’ that are claiming to be small, extending elongated through the hair.

She is Nico Praha, a professor of sorcery biology who is the only elven faculty member at the academy.

She

She And she was also a witness to my duel.

I was very repulsed when she said that she was treating them.

Mado ‘biology’ professor?

Something feels dangerous, like they’re about to test something new on the two of you… It’s a feeling.

But it was Amy who asked her to treat her.

Professor Niko Prague asked for the most suitable person.

It was directly specified by the patient, but I couldn’t just refuse it.

Still, I can’t help but feel anxious.

“Don’t worry too much. I also have an imperial medical license.”

“Wow… It must have faded, it was from 100 years ago!!”

“A doctor’s license is a lifelong license. No problem.”

You know
