11. Not a myth, but a legend (12)

Im screwed. Im screwed. Im screwed!

Uwiit, whys owners disciple here? Reunion?

Theres no way thats possible.

In the video, two students in Marcis uniforms were fighting.

One is my ex-disciple from the Nermia family.

And the other was her fellow cohort disciple and the one I acknowledged as the survival king!

Sword ki went flying everywhere, Surtr died, magic was flung around everywhere, Surtr died in a flurry of exchanges, and No.17 won in the end but that wasnt the important thing.

I have a bad feeling about this.

In all honesty, the one I worried the least for out of my ex-disciples was that No.1000.

Her survivability that would let her live no matter where she was thrown into was one thing, but even her origins were that of a perfect orphan.

And moreover, even I couldnt fathom the depths of her potential, to the point where if I starved her a few times she might actually break through to the realm of a swordsmaster, such was the girl named No.1000.

There was no way in hell that the imperial princess would leave her alone.

The other two were children of prestigious families that even Her Highness wouldnt find it worth bothering them for, but in the case of No.1000 who was a perfect orphan, theres no way that the princess, whose hobby was collecting talented people, would ever leave her alone?

And shes the most cost-efficient talent that would swear undying loyalty just as long as you fed her, no less!

Add to that a personality that was impossible to predict, No.1000 was exactly the imperial princesss type.

That girl who I didnt worry about for those reasons, had suddenly shown up in the middle of the imperial festival.

Would she have enrolled in Marcis because the imperial princess didnt hire her?

Never.

Firstly theres the fact that she didnt really show all that much potential for magic, but since Marcis requires all sorts of magic-related tools for their classes, until just last year they had the highest tuition fees among all the schools.

There was no way that No.1000 had the funds to pay that expensive tuition, and even if she did, she would be infinitely more likely to go on a foodie road trip.

Then would Her Highness send No.1000 to Marcis to learn magic?

That too, is outside the realm of possibility.

The imperial princess sees the academies as a playground for children.

Thanks to her innate talent which surpassed genius and reached the realm of monsters, the princess could exceed others in just about anything no matter how much she half-assed it, leaving her without much interest in education.

Although she showed great interest in education on how to screw over other people.

Anyways, there was no way that that imperial princess would send No.1000 to Marcis because she showed talent for magic.

Shed think something along the lines of shed make a pretty decent assassin as well, and throw her into her personal battlemage brigade.

Therefore, there was only one reason that No.1000 was participating in the imperial festival in a Marcis uniform.

The imperial princess is nearby.

A shudder tore through the entire length of my body.

In normal circumstances, the imperial princess present at the imperial festival should be perfectly normal.

Because of course the First Imperial Princess would be present on the anniversary of the day the empire was founded!

But th fact that the imperial princess that went off to the edges of the continent to catch owner is here means that she came knowing owners here?

And if I get caught it will be extremely dangerous for me!

So, owner we running again?

Probably?

Of course, maybe No.1000 could have just enrolled into Marcis.

Maybe the imperial princess might not have taken in No.1000 knowing that she could betray her if an enemy of the imperial princess found someone that could cook better than the palace chefs.

So the Nermia family took No.1000 in as an old companion.

Which would be why No.1000 enrolled in Marcis at a similar time to No.1000!

But methinks that its probably th princesss plan to locky locky owner up?

Of course it is, because theres no way my life would ever go that well!

But that situation is the absolute best case scenario.

How many times has the best-case scenario ever occurred in my life?

I could count those on one hand, but in contrast, the worst-case scenarios were very, very common.

So for now, I would run.

Even though all Ive done is invest without a single return so Id take massive losses if I ran away now

But cutting your losses for the future instead of causing the downfall of the entire household is the path of the wise investor.

Thats what ya say owner, but ya bodys honest! Your entire bodys shivering?!

Ggghhh so close so close!

Just as Id paid off my debt to Black Anvil, I took on new debt to renovate the academy!Reêad latest novels at

The schools finances were so disgustingly shit, I still hadnt managed to embezzle a single copper!

To think Id have to abandon the goose that would only lay golden eggs from now on!

Just a moment, please.

The moment I opened the door to the schools main building, I heard a familiar voice from behind me.

I didnt dare to turn my head to face it, nor could I ignore it and keep walking.

Because the owner of that voice, was the strongest female knight along with the Sword Star.

No, a person whose name would come up even when discussing the strongest swordsmen.

My name is Reia, a knight serving the First Imperial Princess. I wish to ask you for directions, are you an administrator of Yugrasia?

She was the Sword Princess, one of my old workplace colleagues.

#16 Their story: A certain villains story.

Damn empire!

A man swore in the shadows of a dark alley.

Once, just once.

Having realised that the anti-empire army was active in the imperial festival by a stroke of dumb luck, the empires response was much too swift.

Damn it, they blocked off the exits already.

They were in the middle of the imperial festival, which could be said to be one of the biggest processions in the empire.

Even if it was drawing to an end, there were still many merchants and nobles that sought to enter the capital.

And yet they closed the doors on them without a single word of explanation, except that they couldnt tell them right now?

If this had happened in any other kingdom, the backlash from the merchants or the nobles would have been fierce, but this Karuan Empire was different.

With just a single sentence that it was an imperial order, everyone was reduced to sitting outside the city gates with their mouths clammed shut.

Damn it

He hadnt expected a tidal wave of all things in a match between students, and in the labyrinth at that, would lead to the current situation, but the anti-empire armys forces were still powerful.

But even that mighty power could only be used in unison with each other.

Right now, when everyone was getting picked off one by one, even that almighty strength was useless.

Are there still no orders?

Hed already been circling around for three hours, yet there were no signs of the anti-empire armys codes.

Damn it, shit. At this rate this is?

In the eyes of the sighing man, he sighted a familiar scrawl.

The anti-empires code.

It might be a simple scribble that could be found in any common alley, but it was in reality a code that any member of the anti-empire army could read.

Where everything became twisted, everything will be righted.

The man ruminated over those words.

Where everything became twisted.

That was almost certainly the imperial festival where the students had been.

In that case, did that mean that everything would be righted there as well?

What event were the students in the middle of right now?

Siege

It wasnt a bad choice. As long as we could secure the students as hostages, we could stage a hostage situation in the middle of the imperial capital behind castle walls, albeit weak and low ones.

Although we couldnt run away, the exits had already been sealed anyway.

No, even without taking that factor into account, the anti-empire army had resolved themselves to end it here at this very imperial festival.

And so they gathered.

They infiltrated in secret, for the sake of capturing the students as hostages, to tell the emperor that only ever treated them like insects of their existence!

That was how it should have, how it should have gone!

Die, Nerkiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Block it, block it!

The expensive magic shield that was supposed to be a precaution against the empires magic bombardment was shredded like paper by a single small wooden branch.

Kgghhh screw the anti-empire army! Damn it all, give me my life back!

Gaagh! You, you little!

Suddenly some of our allies screamed and began to attack each other.

How how is this happening?

A scene played itself in front of his eyes that failed to comprehend what was happening.

Even his head couldnt understand the events in front of him now.

As he stood there blankly staring at what was happening before him, where the sword aura of a swordsmaster that not even the anti-empire army had was flying around every which way, and a giant of fire danced around the battlefield, the man couldnt help but laugh dejectedly.

What the heck just happened?

And the moment the man lifted his head.

-Elemental Roar.

A bombardment recreated from the age of myths fell squarely onto his head.
