Chapter 34: Love and Anger
The headmaster of Aslan Academy of Magic, Roswald Merlin Goldberg, was quietly looking out the window.
The view outside was still covered by the dark veil of night. However, many guards were busy running around.
Luke is a strong kid. Really, how pathetic.
Who was he addressing with those words?
Himself, who couldnt protect the students, or
Knock, knock
A rough knocking sound echoed through the room. Without waiting for permission to enter, the door opened. It was one of the teachers at this school, Duke.
Old man, Im back. The only relief is that there are no casualties or even serious injuries that resulted from it, also Did you see it?
Humu, he didnt even change his expression Hoh-hoh, he looked really unhappy and directed those strong eyes at me. Hes a tough kid.
Oh it seems he managed to defeat all the attackers. Its pathetic to say, but maybe were the ones who were saved by him
.
Gong!
With a dull sound. Roswald slammed his fist against the wall.
What kind of teacher am I if I cant even protect one student?
He said, with a clear sense of anger and frustration in his voice.
Duke watched him silently, seeing this side of Roswald, who was usually calm and hadnt shown himself in a while.
Theyve got a lot of guts They who have caused such impudence in my school will surely regret it.
Are you really aware of whos behind it?
Of course. Ive already lived long enough to not notice it There must be a mole who guided the attackers in this incident.
Oh I dont even want to think about it. But there are too many things that cant be explained otherwise.
I really dont want to think about it either.
Theres a traitor among the people he believes in. Its not a rare occurrence, but its a very painful thing.
Well the academy itself might disappear anyway.
Thats right. The nobles who support us wont stay silent about this failure. I cant believe we have to think about things like this.
Exactly. This attack made it painfully clear how weak Myrstia is.
Yes.
Roswald touched his long beard and quietly turned to Duke.
His eyes held a firm will.
We will hold a meeting. Gather everyone, will you?
Sure.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
And with those words, the two of them left the room.
After that.
Dormitory students who woke up from my mournful cry cursing my own fate gathered one after another.
Even though I say dormitory students, this is only the first-year dormitory.
And so, excluding Hugo who transferred, there were only eleven of us as of this moment, of course, Alice included.
But it was chaos from there.
Some screamed for the first time at the sight of a corpse, some cried, and others vomited again and again It was h**l.
Im tired.
Immediately, the guards were called and as the party involved, I had no choice but to undergo questioning and such.
Therefore, I couldnt sleep much and it was already morning. I answered the questions as they came to me without much thought.
But if I were to think about it carefully, they should have considered my physical and mental state first and let me rest.
This country really is c**p.
Im sorry. This is the schools our responsibility. We were supposed to be in a position to protect you, but we never thought something like this could happen why no, Im just glad youre safe.
Freya-chan thats right. We unconsciously believed that peace would continue forever no matter how long peace lasts, nobody knows if tomorrow will be peaceful or not
The voice was very familiar to me, and it filled my heart with a sense of melancholy.
It was Yolande.
He landed next to me with a soft flutter.
Oh, Im so glad youre okay!
Yolande opened his arms and tried to hug me, so I gave him a smack.
It was too gross. I hadnt done anything wrong. Justice was on my side.
Dont come any closer.
Whathah, hah Youre so mean, Luke. Im just worried about youhah, hah
Whywhy do you care, brother?
Looking at Yolande with his disgusting breathing and Alice, who seemed strangely regretful, I realized that this was just the kind of people these siblings were.
L-Luke. Violence is not the answer Yolande-sensei is just worried about you
hah-hah.
Abel, I knew well that you have a blind eye. You were really too soft-hearted.
Alice seems to be doing well, so Im relieved.
Alice glared at Yolande in silence.
Anyway
However, at that moment, Yolandes demeanor changed dramatically.
I cant believe the Kingdom Knights are so incompetent. Cant you even properly patrol?
Yolande said loudly, deliberately making sure that all the Kingdom Knights present could hear him.
No one protested. They just wore bitter expressions.
The knights abilities have been declining year by year. Well, I cant say its entirely your fault. Anyway, I think this country should be rebuilt from scratch seeing this incident.
Yolande seemed to be saying something dangerous, but I ignored it and kept walking.
My head wasnt functioning well. I was sleepy and wanted to go to bed quickly.
I had only one wish. Even if a bunch of ruffians attacked me, I could just beat them up.
But, please let me sleep at night.
A few days after the incident.
Luke
My father arrived in the capital. His appearance as he got off the carriage was weaker than I had ever seen before.
Father, Im sorry for worrying you
My words were interrupted midway. He hugged me tightly with great strength.
You are my treasure Im so glad that you are safe
Regarding Alices engagement, there were times when he had some misunderstandings, but the father in my memory was like a perfect embodiment of correctness.
He was always calm, full of dignity, and exuded an atmosphere of absolute strength.
Im sorry for worrying you.
I see.
Maybe this is what love is. Thats what I thought at that moment.
But then, I felt an aura of intense anger, almost like a killing intent, emanating from my father.
Well then, lets just crush this useless school as soon as possible.
Huh? What did he just say?
