(EP-6.1) Assassination Attempt
006 - Assassination Attempt
●
“It seems that communication is blocked.”
Elnore said after examining the devices around.
“Don't worry too much, the academy will take action. ”
Of course, the reason why the students are not freaking out was because of Elnore, calmly controlling the situation.
In fact, rather than just being calm, it's almost scary that her face didn't change throughout all this. It even had thinking if she's capable of displaying emotions.
“Then do we just have to wait here?”
A dwarven student anxiously asked. Looking at his wand and robe, they're probably an aspiring Mage.
"No, I don't think so. ”
Elijah, who had been silent the whole ti, spoke with her arms folded.
She continued with a smile as Elnore turned.
“Rather, if you don't move, you might be in big trouble. Do you agree? ”
“What do you an?”
“I am sure the President noticed it too. We're not the only ones here. ”
Elnore's expression slightly distorted.
Seeing this reaction, the students were puzzled. These two seems to have already figured out the situation.
“...”
How did they do it?
I have a mission window, that's why I know. Are they, perhaps, using a skill similar to those martial arts masters?
I guess they're the main character and the final boss for a reason.
“It seems that they're not here for a friendly exchange considering that the President is here. ”
“What are you saying?”
“The President belongs to a prestigious family, I reckon that's a good enough reason to think so.”
She's saying that it was a cri aid at high ranking nobles, but this was sarcasm.
The Tristan Family commit evil like breathing, trouble naturally follows them.
Seemingly to have interpreted it that way, Elnore's gaze cooled.
“You better choose your words carefully, freshman.”
“Ah, I wasn't referring to anything.”
Elijah innocently smiled at Elnore's reaction.
Now that I think about it, she was also pretty clever in the original ga. She knows how to handle people.
“Anyway, wouldn't it be better to move sowhere than wait here?”
“... I think so too.”
The biggest male student in the group said in a heavy voice.
Looking at his getup, he seems to be a barbarian from the Eastern Empire. The large ax hanging on his back is impressive.
“The atmosphere is certainly not good. We don't know what's going to happen, so I think we should move to a more favorable terrain.”
At this mont, the expressions of the other students slowly changed.
However, they weren't scared. Rather, they're preparing themselves for what's about to co.
Seeing that everyone quickly adapted to the situation, it was clear that they were top tier students.
And if you look closely at their mbers, they're definitely not just random no-nas.
Warrior Luca, Mage Falco, Healer Trisha, Marksman Grid. Then you add Elijah, another warrior and also the leader.
'The original Hero Party.'
Considering the story progress, this is their first eting.
They showed great chemistry and teamwork in the exam and ran as a party all the way through.
In other words, all the people here are part of the story except .
“...”
Well, then.
I'll just proceed with my plans.
“The central hall seems to be the best option.”
When I opened my mouth, all eyes focused on .
Regardless, I continued to point to the map of the building next to .
“There's various equipnt and first-aid supplies inside, and there is a lot of space. It will be much better than a corridor prone to surprise attacks. ”
Everyone seriously nodded. Probably because it was the most sensible choice. So far, everyone seed convinced.
The problem was this.
“And I will go here.”
When I pointed to a completely different place on the map, silence covered the surroundings.
The silence was so heavy that it took a long while for soone to ask a question in an absurd voice.
“... Why are you going there alone?”
“It's necessary.”
"But why?"
“There's a reason for it.”
I probably look like a mad man right now. In an event where a fight could break out at any ti, I was insisting on acting alone.
I also didn't answer why. I don't want to.
Why?
Because I'm going alone.
“...”
And no, I didn't forget that the mission was to protect Elnore.
However, let's think for a mont here. Common sense, if you will.
'Would that woman need protection?'
She's the Final Boss that could defeat the Hero Party, including the main character, alone.
Why should I risk my allstat F @ss?
Can't I just leave them to the central hall and attract the assassin's aggro, and hide until the situation is over?
“I can't reveal it now, but it's important. I'll explain it later. ”
I declared in a firm, serious voice.
Ah, it's technically not a lie.
After all, what could be more important than saving my life?
●
“It worked.”
I murmured and as I walked in a dark corridor.
I was worried if it would work, but it seems that defeating Elijah in one punch boosted . As expected, does credibility co from performance?
The goal is to hide until the event is over. In the first place, Elnore is the assassins' target. There is a high probability that they wouldn't even care about .
I'll just quietly enjoy myself sowhere, like pass so ti-
“Wait, student!”
-Well, that's not happening now.
It seems that I, indeed, have bad luck.
Thinking inwardly, I looked at where the voice was from.
A middle-aged man rushed towards .
“You're really alive...!”
Soon, he arrived in front of .
On his chest was a faculty naplate. He looked like he was having a hard ti moving because of the darkness.
His movents did seem uncomfortable.
“Can you escort sowhere? I'll ask others for help. ”
“... But the power in the building is cut off?”
“Ehei, this little thing can be fixed quickly. Should we restore it first?”
I looked at the faculty without answering.
Hmm.
This man...
