I Became The Academy's Narrow-Eyes

42 – Bad brother, bad friend (1)

What are you.

If the first ‘what are you?’ Ledar said to me was an interrogative sentence, now the second ‘what are you?’ was a directive.

Now Ledar was demanding an explanation from me.

The idea is to convince Ledar of the existence of me.

Ledar removed his hand from my shoulder.

I then looked around.

“Here… ”

It was a space that looked similar to the barrier where the Golem battled in the 2nd test.

The white floor, like drawing paper, stretched endlessly in all directions, and there was nothing else.

“It’s not in the barrier.”

Actually, I knew.

As Ledar approached me, I felt something wiggle in my blind spot.

Then, I felt the action of mana trying to drag me somewhere.

Summons.

Since Ledar didn’t know how to handle magic, he must have activated some kind of artifact.

It was a pretty powerful summon, befitting the artifact’s effect, but it was not enough to forcefully summon me.

So I added my mana, and the action of that mana helped summon me.

I didn’t know what Ledar would do on the spot if I ignored this summoning.

More than anything, I had the same thoughts as this guy now.

It just so happened that the two of us felt the need to have some private time.

I had to figure out what those creepy eyes were reading in me.

What if that guy realizes that I’m the best pair in the world who have mastered assassination and black magic, and confuses our sheep? That’s how I am hated by the sheep we gave?

‘Huh… !’

Just imagining it broke my heart.

If I was in that situation, I would no longer have the confidence to live in this world.

“A barrier, is it?”

“okay.”

When I pretended not to know, Ledar stuck out his fist and showed me the ring on his middle finger.

‘I thought I was blowing a fist potato.’

The jewel in the ring was in a state of wanting light, as if it had exhausted all its power.

I replied pretending to be surprised.

“does not make sense… ! To summon not only himself, but also others to the barrier. Is that possible… !?”

“This is a rather precious artifact. Ha ha, I never thought I would use this in a place like this.”

I guess I’ll have to spend some time in the demon realm.

Ledar muttered as he rubbed his eyelids.

Then, he walked away from me and started pacing around.

In that movement, the confidence that even if you get away from me, you can approach me again and subdue me, was imbued with confidence.

“So, I have to answer soon. What are you?”

“First of all, my name is Ceylon.”

“Yes, Ceylon. I am Ledar of House Rebringer. and?”

“I took part in the academy entrance examination this time.”

“okay. and?”

“I am a commoner.”

“and.”

Ledar looked at me with the energy to keep him locked up in those big four hundred eyes.

In those eyes, I could feel the strong pressure towards me.

That pressure was made up of a strong confidence that he could overpower me at any time.

Just like when you were away from me.

I didn’t know the intention behind those eyes.

I didn’t know the intention behind that question and answer.

But at this moment, one thing was clear.

‘I’m glad.’

From noble mtl dot com

Apparently, the worst I was worried about didn’t happen.

Ledar, that fellow did not recognize the power I hid.

Wasn’t the only thing he recognized was the assassination talent that I’m showing off right now?

If it wasn’t for that, I couldn’t explain why he was so relaxed.

‘…is not it?’

It’s something you never know.

Until now, I had been in embarrassing situations several times by bringing the feeling of the game into reality.

Even now, as at that time, the sense of the game was brought in as it was, and the strength of Ledar was determined based on the level in the game.

At this point in the game, Ledar was around level 60, so he was on the level of 7 stars.

Based on my 7-star status, I thought that it made no sense for Ledar to be so calm when he recognized my strength.

But what if this real-life version of Ledar received a huge boost?

What if I had the power to ignore my hidden power?

‘Oh, I don’t know.’

I decided to rule out the worst-case scenario.

If the situation really goes according to the number of cases, I will not be able to escape the fate of being killed by Ledar no matter what I do.

‘It’s not about thinking optimistically, it’s about thinking realistically.’

Ledar did not recognize the power I hid.

He just recognized my talent for assassination.

‘Then how do I explain the overreaction compared to Cynia?’

If Ledar only recognized my talent for assassination, he would also have recognized that I hadn’t learned assassination.

However, his reaction was too extreme, unlike Sinia and Hessaem.

‘Did I accurately recognize the potential of my assassination talent?’

there is a possibility

Because his eyes can recognize not only the strength of the opponent, but also the potential that the opponent has.

When Cynia and Hessaem saw my talent for assassination, they said, ‘Wouldn’t it be fine if we collected that and put it on a leash?’ if judged.

Ledar looked at my assassination talent and judged, ‘I can’t handle it if I leave it alone.’

“and?”

Ledar’s hard work put an end to my thinking.

It’s a good thing.

Anyway, if I have to proceed with the accident there, it will only make my head unnecessarily complicated.

I decided to proceed with the story based on the conclusions I had drawn on my own.

He didn’t recognize the power I had.

I just recognized the assassination technique I had.

In that case, the best I can do is-

“And, from Instructor Sinia and Instructor Herion, I was evaluated as having a natural talent for assassination.”

“…”

Hearing those words, Ledar closed his eyes and was lost in thought.

“Is that so. Did those two already recognize you and decided to embrace you at the academy?”

“Anyway, it seems so.”

Ledar shook his head.

“It’s a foolish idea.”

“yes?”

“Those two don’t know how dangerous your natural talent is. That’s not a skill that can be cultivated in the academy- Arienne- the general world.”

Ledar opened his eyes again.

It stares at me with sharper four hundred eyes.

“Ceylon. Let me make a suggestion.”

“Are you suggesting…?”

“Let’s go to the Magician with me.”

“…yes?”

“I heard, today’s cooking. That, you said you did it? Guy. It’s quite different from what it looks like, isn’t it?”

Ledar took a bite of the chicken leg still in his hand.

“Hey~ To think that the omnipotent Lord Ledar’s taste was met. This is an honor, right?”

“You know that nickname Almighty Eye is a nickname that makes fun of me, right?”

“Ah…! Is that so? It’s too cool to be like that- Excuse me.”

“Oh, I’ll forgive you. So, let’s go back to the story. Ceylon. Do you know what I felt most painfully while living alone in the Devil’s Land for a long time?”

“What is it?”

Ledar murmured as he looked down at his hands resentfully.

“It means I can’t cook dirty.”

“Oops, Lord Ledar in the Almighty-“

“…”

“Ah-cha-cha! Not the Almighty, but the Almighty! Lord Ledar has such a flaw…!”

“That’s why. These damn eyes aren’t helpful in cooking.”

“Oops…”

“So, Ceylon. I need your talent. Go with me to the Devil’s Nest and cook for me.”

“It’s probably the worst confession I’ve ever heard.”

“You sound like a confession, are you sure that’s your taste?”

“No way. How about Sir Ledar?”

“If I were that way, I wouldn’t be interested in a guy like you.”

“That’s true…! Should I be happy or sad?”

I don’t know what the intention was, but Ledar created a flirtatious atmosphere as if to say, ‘Be comfortable, be comfortable’.

“So, what do you want to do? Do you want to go with me or not?”

I crossed my arms and frowned and pretended to be worried.

“Even if you suddenly make such an offer…”

“Are you thinking about this?”

“Of course, isn’t it a proposal worth thinking about?! It’s not anywhere else, it’s the Devil’s World- that’s the Great Devil’s World-!”

“Don’t worry. In Rebringer’s name, I won’t let you die before me.”

“… At such times, don’t you usually say that you won’t be in danger no matter what?”

“I’m the one who can’t lie.”

“That’s why I can’t seem to convince you.”

“And, hey. There are no absolutes in practice.”

Ledar emphasized with his index finger.

“Instead, I promise you something more attractive than safety.”

“Uh… is there anything more attractive than safety?”

“strength.”

“…yes?”

Redar spread his middle and ring fingers in addition to his index finger, with a face that was completely mischievous.

“Things you can get under the iron wall and Herion in the academy for three years.”

Then, the middle and ring fingers are folded again and the words are connected.

“If you follow me, you can get it in one year from the Great Magician. Within one year, you can get more.”

“…”

of course.

How did you accept my silence?

“It’s not that I’m a better instructor than those two. However, in Daimakyo, I can get a quality practical experience that I can never get at the academy. And, in Daimakyo, I’m as good as, or better than, those two. I can be your guide. More than anything-“

Herion’s index finger pointed at me.

“In the Great Demon King, Harasin, you can easily come across them. Do you understand what they mean?”

“…no way?”

“Yes. I will make every effort to help you learn the art of assassination. I’m sure Iron Wall and Deadler won’t allow you to learn the art of assassination. They’re trying to create fake swordsmanship that will somehow use their talents in the art of assassination. I will. Isn’t that why I made you learn Bauer’s swordsmanship?”

I was puzzled.

This time, it wasn’t acting, it was really embarrassing.

Leaving aside the fact that I even learned Bauer’s sword-

‘Are you saying you’ll make it as convenient as possible so that I can learn the art of assassination?’

The eldest son of the Rebringer family, the 8th family that took the lead in driving out the darkness more than any other force in the sun, had no words to say.

“Lee, is it okay for the eldest son of the Rebringer family to say such a thing?”

That’s good because you’re upset. It was easy to act embarrassed. Maybe it’s not smoke.

“I’m saying this because I’m the eldest son of the Rebringer family.”

Harasin.

Ledar mentioned them.
