Became the Academy Romantic Phantom Thief

302 – Tank of Destruction

Pedestrians began to surround me and Eldina and slowly narrow them down.

The sight was certainly quite intimidating, but if we think about it calmly, it was actually a good thing for us.

At the moment when I was hesitating to fight because I was concerned about what people would think, it was as if the opponent had personally closed the eyes of the citizens.

Of course, in order to interpret it favorably, the prerequisite is that no one gets hurt and the battle ends safely. Not caring what happens to other people for my own purposes means being a villain just like them.

“You seem to be worried a lot. Can you get through this crowd and take me down? “What are you going to do if these innocent citizens get hurt before that?”

What a disgusting thing to say. There is no need to fall for the opponent’s low-level provocation. Instead of worrying about it, just calmly find a way to overcome the situation.

“Do you think I will leisurely wait forever!?”

Citizens rushing towards us with Veronica’s tearful shouts.

I quickly jumped into the air with Eldina in my arms.

At the same time, the cloak that had fallen from my body fluttered and grew in size, soon covering the entire ceiling.

The light was covered by a black cloak, and the world was instantly immersed in darkness.

It can’t be helped if you’re outdoors, but if you’re indoors, it’s possible to recreate the night, even if only for a moment!

“Tch! Do you think blocking the view will solve the problem?”

Even though he pretended to be relaxed, there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.

She probably believes that I arrived here after easily defeating Siegfried. In other words, he must be wary that his opponent is a very capable person.

Bring out the fear that has settled in a corner of your heart and nurture it.

Believe that it is foolish to even dare to oppose me.

“How foolish. “You still don’t realize that the game has already been decided.”

My voice echoes from all directions simultaneously, as if the god of the sky had descended.

Veronica was looking around her, clearly confused.

“Huh, stop talking nonsense! Who knew that someone would fall for something like that?!”

The other person is probably regretting it by now. She, who is the strongest in mental magic, chose the uncertain option of manipulating the people around her rather than directly brainwashing me and Eldina.

It is not difficult to guess the reason. Given Veronica’s arrogant personality, she probably wanted to scare us and win with an overwhelming plan.

However, due to a series of carelessness, I was able to summon darkness, and the other party lost sight and was unable to pinpoint our location.

Veronica’s judgment was quick. Her citizens had lined up around her and were on maximum alert, waiting for the darkness to end.

In reality, the curtain of darkness I have installed is not permanent. My physical condition is already in the worst condition, so even if I use just a little bit of magic, I get a huge headache. Maximum efficiency must be achieved with the minimum amount of magic.

The cloak shrunk in size, night fell, and light began to return to the station.

Her stiff expression suddenly returned to its original state and she seemed to sense that her turn had come.

“hahahaha… In the end, I just lived with my mouth and couldn’t do anything! “There it is!!”

Veronica instantly senses her presence and reaches out her hand to interfere with her mind.

But when nothing happened, she blinked her eyes blankly and slowly distorted her expression.

“What, what!? Why on earth…!!”

Yes. You won’t understand.

He would never have imagined that the strongest mental wizard would be able to block an intervention attempt so easily.

Although it takes place 5 years later, it is Veronica who stopped even Gina, who summoned the dragon, from moving.

In other words, her mental magic is powerful enough to be used by beings close to her transcendence.

The opponent was just too bad.

Because the person who tried to control her mind was Eldina.

No matter how much he loses his power and becomes weaker, God is God.

For a mere human to control the spirit of a goddess who has lived for nearly eons would be a miracle that defies the laws of this world.

Veronica once again chose the wrong choice at her crossroads.

Unlike before, if she had attacked the passersby she was controlling this time, I would have been helpless.

As the situation turned around due to her previous mistake, she felt impatient, and with the intention of ending it this time, she attempted to control her mind, which was her trump card.

If it had been me and not Eldina who was standing there, she would have been helplessly manipulated and her fight would have been over.

In other words, the series of battles so far is like a card game played by me and Veronica.

We sat across from each other at the table and fought each other, assessing each other’s losses, and as a result, I won the psychological battle.

“It’s over.”

I, who was hiding myself with a cloak on the ceiling, easily landed on the top of her panicked head and tied her body tightly with a rope.

In order for Veronica to manipulate the mind of her opponent, she must extend her hand and designate her target.

In other words, you can completely incapacitate her by simply tying her arms with rope.

When the magic could not be maintained, the citizens came to their senses, were confused for a moment, and then returned to their normal daily lives.

Eldina approached me quickly and asked.

“Are you okay!?”

“Yes. It was simple this time. ···Cough!”

It was almost comical to see myself coughing up blood while saying it was okay, but Eldina looked at me with concern, as if she was about to burst into tears.

“Profit! What do you plan on doing to me?!”

“Huh?”

At that time, Veronica, who I had forgotten about, fussed and struggled.

“You perverted bastard! Are you going to do something like that to me!? “With those dirty hands, you are ravaging my body so obscenely…!!”

Kwajik-!

A bloody sound heard from the forehead.

By the way, it wasn’t me who did it, it was Eldina who took the picture with her hand blade.

“This b*tch is a bit noisy.”

“···Ha, hahahaha. Iknow, right.”

It’s scary. If I make a mistake, I won’t end up like that, right?

I moved to the train with Veronica, who had a lump on her forehead.

I wanted to throw her away somewhere, but now I needed to get information from her.

“Tell me. “Why is Drakan chasing us?”

“···Hmph.”

Eldina grinned at her uncooperative attitude and held out her hand blade.

“I guess I haven’t been hit yet.”

“Hey…!! Ma, I’ll tell you. “I’ll tell you…!!”

Veronica seemed to be feeling quite humiliated as she was not even allowed to sit on her train seat and was held by me by her leash while kneeling on the floor.

“We originally planned to relax today. But suddenly, at dawn, the leader came to us and ordered us to arrest you who were coming from Ireland to London, saying that this was the most important key to bringing the dragon back, so we had no choice but to move at the crack of dawn.”

Do you mean the leader made the move himself?

I don’t know exactly who the leader of Drakan is.

In the original work, the leader only communicated with Drakan through a man wearing a mask, and rarely appeared directly.

“Tell me everything you know about your leader.”

“···We don’t know either. I don’t know anything about it other than being a woman. “You probably know that the mask is like meeting the leader in person.”

“You really don’t know?”

“Hi! What, you don’t know!? So please take that hand blade away! Please clean it up!”

It may be surprising, but Drakan has no bond with her colleagues at all.

I guess I should say that since she just means the same thing, it feels like she is acting appropriately. In the story, it was mentioned that the only reason the members followed the leader’s orders was because the leader was stronger.

It didn’t seem like Veronica was lying.

So, in the end, to find out Drakan’s purpose, you have to meet its leader, and to do that, you have no choice but to fight the masked man?

Of course, it would be best if we could just ignore it and move on, but the unidentified leader seemed to have no desire to leave us alone.

Boom boom boom!!!

Damn. They say even tigers come when you tell them to.

A huge roar rang out from the next room, and something was slowly approaching quickly.

It was still early in the morning, so there weren’t many passengers, but it didn’t mean there were no passengers.

After all, the person I had to fight with on the train was that guy.

Veronica, who was tied up, grinned and muttered obnoxiously.

“Ah, you guys are in big trouble. Hi-Hi.”

Bad!

“Hiik…!!!”

In the meantime, this guy was acting fussy and got his hand snatched by Eldina.

But now was not the time to worry about that.

It’s coming.

Kwasik! Quad deuk-!

A massive body appears, tearing open the iron plate door as if it were a piece of paper.

A living monster that seems to have been born to be nicknamed a tank of destruction.

Dietrich, one of Drakan’s members, appeared before us on the battlefield from which there was no escape.

Not even paying attention to the citizens who were screaming and running quickly to the opposite compartment, he walked slowly and finally stopped right in front of me.

“I found it. Target.”

Kwaang-!!

With a roar, Dietrich’s steel fist rushed towards me.
