Chapter 79
I explained to Locke’s group that it was a misunderstanding.
Even though the strengthened [Twisted Nobility’s Dignity] was working, it was difficult to be dignified in front of this tragedy. I was sweating profusely.
“…and that’s how it happened. Keeping things tidy has created a situation like this.”
They didn’t believe me at first and looked at me with contempt.
As my coherent and logical explanation continued, I then nodded.
“Okay. I misunderstood. I apologize, Student Theo. I’ve been very embarrassed for a long time.”
“We’re sorry, too. Of course I thought it wasn’t, but it was such an ugly scene… In a way, I’m sure you did what you said.”
“······it’s okay.”
It’s unfair, but it’s not that I don’t understand their sensitive reaction.
I’m glad it worked out.
Locke and the others must have felt sorry for me.
‘Oh, it’s my duty. I often experience suspicious situations, but I can’t get used to it.’
Because Melon’s mourning was so exhausted.
It was tied up to destabilize my mental state, but I didn’t know it would change to that extent.
Locke looked tiredly at Melon, who was still stunned, then looked at the other party.
“You don’t see any signs of waking up. First, take that suspect and move him to the interrogation room.”
“”Okay, Principal Professor.””
The other faculty members approached Melon cautiously and untied the strong cords that bound her.
And he put mana seals on his hands and feet.
In the end, an eye patch was put on the eyes and a gag was placed on the mouth.
‘great. It’s a neat job.’
It’s thorough.
I wish I could leave it to you
“The suspect has been secured, Chief Professor.”
“You’ve worked hard. Then let’s go back right away.”
Carrying melons on their shoulders, the faculty and staff got on a dedicated carriage.
Next came Noctar and boarded.
“I’m leaving.”
With the knight’s horse, the exclusive carriage departed.
Our party quickly arrived at the interrogation room of the Braves Department.

Inside the interrogation room in the basement of the Hero Department.
There, Melon was caught and seated on a chair.
She was still fainting and didn’t show any movement.
The therapist is carefully checking her condition.
On the other side, Locke’s party, I, and Noctar are watching the two of us.
Soon, the therapist came out of the interrogation room.
“There are no traumatic injuries. It is at a level that does not affect life in any way. The reason I can’t wake up is for a psychological reason.”
The therapist looked at Locke and said low.
“That’s right. You’ve worked hard.”
“Then I’ll just go.”
“That’s right.”
The therapist went out of the basement interrogation room.
Locke, who was looking at Melon with a stiff face, said to the other personnel.
“Everyone go home. If something urgent happens, ask for help. Everyone has worked hard.”
“Okay, then let’s go inside.”
“All right.”
The faculty and staff bowed their heads and left the interrogation room in the basement.
But I stood still.
‘Now there are artifacts that can only be obtained from Locke.’
I glanced at Noctar.
Noctar nodded and followed the staff.
Only me and Locke were left in the interrogation room.
“······· Chief Professor.”
“I see something else to say. What’s going on?”
Locke looked at me with curious eyes.
“I have a favor for you.”
“Haha, something? Tell me.”
Locke smiled softly and looked at me.

After all, it was past 8:00 in the evening.
After I finished talking with Locke, I came out of the interrogation room in the basement, and while fiddling with [Romeo & Juliet] in my arms, I headed to the training ground for the Brave School.
‘I can finally practice daggers.’
During today’s practical practice class, I watched the daggers of Woohee Jang and Shilder Lee carefully.
I need to make it mine soon.
Currently, my dagger technique is no base at all, and there is no foundation at all.
It’s better to practice against a magic doll than against a real person.
squeaky-
The large door to the training ground was opened.
You have to go through the training center where you can fight magic dolls.
‘At this time, no one will be there.’
That’s how I arrived at the dungeon.
‘ah.’
There was a woman.
With short red hair, she closed her eyes, woohoo-.
He took a low breath and took three steps in his hand, moving slowly.
It was elegant and classy.
It’s a movement that even makes it look sacred.
Instinct dominates reason.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the scene.
······ So much so that you can feel Theo’s overwhelming emotions, who prefer beautiful and cool things.
‘Is this the sword dance (劍舞).’
That’s not swordsmanship.
It’s superb art.
Instinctively, she stares at her with her eyes still closed with the enhanced [observer’s eyes].
Minor tremors of the fingers, the direction of movement of the legs, the width of the stride, etc.
I captured every movement in my eyes.
yet.
“·······Whew.”
After finishing the sword dance, Phil exhaled.
She wiped the sweat from her body with a towel.
Then, our eyes met.
“············”.
“············”.
We didn’t say anything.
just looking at each other
‘Somewhere you look sad.’
There was sadness in Phil’s emerald-colored eyes.
I turned my gaze away.
It reminded me of the promise I had made the other day to keep my distance from her.
‘······shit. I’m not even Sienna.’
I turned my back.
I walked quickly to the simulation training ground.
However, her elegant and beautiful sword dance keeps coming to mind.
It feels like Theo’s feelings are eating away at me.
They instinctively react to things that are beautiful and elegant.
. . . I cannot be myself.
In such a state, it is dangerous for Philip to talk to him.
‘This beggar-like body.’
In addition, the token of [Magic Cartridge] is now engraved on my body.
If anyone ever sees it, it will be branded as a rogue teenager.
I don’t want to do anything that erodes my reputation.
I tried to get my reason back.
However, since I have just seen it with the enhanced [observer’s eye], that image cannot be erased if possible.
That artistic movement is constantly being replayed in your brain.
pounding.
heart beats fast
It’s the first time Theo’s emotions have popped up like this.
‘Theo, you bastard. Did you like this?’
Of course, Theo in this work is a third-class extra with no weight to leave at the beginning, so there is no such description, but he says that his beating heart is the truth.
‘But do not succumb.’
I’m wearing Theo’s shell now, but I won’t lose myself.
“Ha ha ha ha…”
I breathed heavily.
‘Come on, let’s quickly go to the simulation training ground.’
In this case, you have to move your body vigorously.
Especially when thoughts come to mind.
Arriving at the simulation training ground, I immediately grabbed [Romeo & Juliet].
To raise the load, put weights on the arms and legs.
I want my tired body to forget the current palpitations.

After rough training, I came out of the simulation training ground.

Fortunately, Phil wasn’t there.
The pounding emotions have subsided a lot, but it is only a temporary remedy.
Still in my heart, the fire was still alive.
not completely burned out yet.
I immediately got on the circular wagon and went to the Faculty of Magic.
The current time is 9:50.
The reason I came is simple.
To ask Seria to input magic into the [Magic Cartridge].
‘But Seria is not a good kid.’
Seria Rune Hestia.
The daughter of a black magician who is one of the few 8th circle magicians on the continent.
A direct line of a high-ranking family like Theo and Fiel with a middle name.
Of course, money can’t make her move.
At least rare artifacts and items must be thrown to make a transaction.
She likes magic and artifacts that can bind her opponents.
As proof of that, in this work, she mainly used bondage and seal type magic among status abnormal magic.
Arriving at the magic department’s laboratory, I hid in a nearby tree.
Seria is a magic maniac.
Because of that, she is in the lab until 10 pm.
The current time is 9:55 p.m.
It’s been a long time since the other magical students have already returned to their dormitories.
About 5 minutes later, Seria will appear.
I took out a mana seal and a pre-written note from my pocket.
The mana seals, which look like handcuffs, were received from Locke earlier.
These mana handcuffs are a rare item used by Chief Professor Locke. A dwarf master made by himself. Even if you have money, it is an extremely difficult item to obtain.
I read the note again.
[Seria Rune Hestia. I want to do business with you. This item is an advance payment. If you are tempted by it, have it in front of the lab tomorrow at 10 pm.]
I could not guess who it was with the handwriting, so I wrote it with my left hand in part.
I wrapped the note in handcuffs.
While holding my breath like that, I was staring intently at the door of the Faculty of Magic Lab.

Finally, Seria came out.
