I Became The Indolent Young Master Of The Academy Chapter 47

Alia left the mansion late at night. It was to investigate a case that has been causing trouble recently.

“…Luid?”

Alia looked back. Ruid was following along. Hugging a big book.

“…Why are you following ?”

“just.”

“It’s late. “I need to sleep now.”

“I don’t feel sleepy because I sleep a lot in the morning.”

Alia gently stroked Lloyd’s head.

But he spoke firmly.

“no.”

“don’t mind.”

Ruid said with an expressionless face.

“We’re just going in the sa direction.”

“….”

Alia looked at Luid with suspicious eyes.

‘I don’t think so.’

But there was no justification.

First, I took a step.

After about 10 minutes, Alia suddenly stopped walking.

Luid, who was following behind her, bumped into Alia’s waist.

“It really doesn’t work.”

Alia turned around and was at Lloyd’s eye level. He said holding her shoulder.

“It’s also dangerous.”

Ruid was genuinely puzzled.

“I??”

“….”

Alia couldn’t refute.

But this was a separate issue.

-Rude is not old enough to see such things yet.

Because it reminded of what Irene said.

“Luid, I can’t work properly if you’re here. And, you said it yesterday, right? “This is my succession test.”

Alia scolded nicely.

Ruid just showed the diary.

“I’m going to write a diary.”

“…huh?”

“You gave permission yesterday. “Writing a diary.”

“Oh, no, that’s….”

“You’re telling Mom? “Yesterday, my sister reported late on purpose.”

Alia reported late that Ruid was not going to the north. It was a timid revenge.

Alia’s body twitched. I narrowed my eyes.

“Are you going to do that so shalessly?”

“Then don’t disturb .”

“Interruption…”

Alia slumped her shoulders when she saw Luid’s stubborn eyes. Once Ruid was stubborn, he couldn’t be broken.

“okay. Instead, should you listen to carefully?”

“uh.”

“And if you feel sleepy, be sure to tell .”

Ruid nodded.

**

Alia deliberately headed to the training ground. It was because I couldn’t take Ruid to the cri scene.

In fact, there was nothing that could be done without going to the site. Even though we searched for even a speck of dust, we found nothing.

‘Let’s at least cool our heads.’

I haven’t been able to train at all recently. It wasn’t just him, it was all the mbers.

Dissatisfaction was slowly brewing. How long do I have to do this aningless thing?

At this point, there was a need to resolve the issue. Alia walked to the vacant lot where the mbers were gathered.

“Uh, leader? “Who is this cute kid?”

“Be careful what you say, Irina. “This is my younger brother.”

“Yeah, I guess so. “They look the sa.”

Irina squatted in front of Ruid and tried to stroke his head. Alia blocked her arm with wary eyes.

“Where are you going to touch?”

“I’m petty. “Alia.”

Irina stuck out her lips and grunted as she stood up. Ruid blinked and looked up at Irina.

“It’s the second princess. Ruid. “There’s no need to say hello.”

Alia introduced bluntly.

Ruid looked up at Irina and thought.

‘Your breasts are really big.’

It was an honest impression.

“and! “Are you the fairy of Delrin I’ve only heard about?”

“It’s so cute.”

“What’s going on with the leader? “I asked him to show once, but he said no.”

Alia placed her hand on the handle of her sword as she lowered her stance towards those approaching Luid with a curious face.

“If you co any closer, I will cut you down. Please return to power position.”

“Hey, don’t be petty. “I want to hug you just once.”

Irina made a surprise attack. Alia pushed him with her shoulder. Irina was pushed back significantly. Alia pretended and spread her arms.

Ruid thought while licking his lips.

‘It’s a sha.’

“Louis, stay close behind .”

Alia spoke kindly to Lloyd, then her eyes burned.

‘Where are these beasts going?’

The princess or whatever protects Ruid.

That was the only goal for today.

“I will take a break from the investigation today and train myself. As you each practice, I will point out your posture and you are not allowed to do anything else. I’ll say it again because it’s important. “I won’t forgive you for doing anything else, especially bothering my younger brother.”

**

The mbers of the swordsmanship club were swinging their swords at a reasonable distance. Everyone’s expressions were serious.

Being able to learn swordsmanship from Windsor is nothing short of a blessing. Everyone thought they were lucky, so they enjoyed practice ti very much.

Ruid sat down in a suitable place and opened his diary.

‘As expected, Sister A is not easy.’

Ruid tried to solve the case using his future knowledge and thinking skills. For the sake of Alia’s health, we had to find the culprit quickly.

But the hand holding the pen did not move at all. Isn’t reasoning sothing you need to know? The only information Ruid had was that a young child was suddenly disappearing.

At that ti, my eyes t Gilbert, who was wielding a sword with a haggard complexion. Gilbert bowed his head.

Ruid patted the seat next to him. Gilbert, who was puzzled, spoke to Alia.

Alia opened her eyes after hearing the story, then smiled brightly at herself. Ruid tapped the seat next to him again.

Alia nodded to Gilbert with a sour expression. Gilbert ca running.

“Huh, huh. “What’s going on?”

Maybe it was during training, but I was out of breath.

“Lord Gilbert looks like he’s having a hard ti.”

“yes…?”

“I think it would be good to rest. “Sit here.”

In fact, Gilbert, who had only slept about two hours in two days, was already on the verge of collapse.

So, without hesitation, Gilbert sat down next to Lloyd. Ruid handed over the baguette with sleepy eyes.

“eat this.”

“thank you. “I was just hungry.”

Gilbert took a bite. I could clearly feel that it was good bread.

“Then tell about the kidnapping incident.”

“Cough!”

Gilbert stopped by Sarre. Ruid took out a cup, filled it with water, and gave it to him.

Gilbert gulped down his drink and pounded his chest.

“are you okay?”

“it’s okay.”

Gilbert broke into a cold sweat.

I knew that Alia didn’t want Ruid to interfere with this case.

“let know.”

“That’s it…”

Ruid helped Gilbert choose.

“I wrote a letter of recomndation, gave rest, and gave bread, but all Gilbert did was buy a chicken skewer.”

“….”

“I have to tell my sister.”

Ruid tried to get up from his seat. Gilbert said quickly.

“Well, I’ll tell you.”

Ruid grinned. The operation was a success.

Gilbert said in a low voice.

“But what I told you is a secret from the leader.”

“okay.”

Gilbert spoke while looking at Alia’s eyes. Alia happened to be looking at Irina’s posture.

Looks very focused. It seed like it would be okay for a while. He looked at Ruid with so relief and said.

“…The incident first occurred in the slums. “There were reports that children living there had disappeared.”

Ruid nodded.

“There are as few as 10 people and as many as 20 people. “Children disappearing from slums is not sothing that happened yesterday or today, and we don’t know the exact number.”

Ruid recalled that the location of the academy and the slums were quite far away.

“A week later, another child disappeared. This ti it was not in the slums, but in the nearest city. From then on, the case was taken over. And children are steadily disappearing, at a rate of one a week.”

Gilbert wiped his face.

A feeling of self-destruction appeared on his face.

“There was nothing left. There was no evidence, no witnesses, no objects. “The whereabouts of the missing child were completely unknown, so it was impossible to find him.”

Ruid began to think about whether a similar incident had occurred in the original work, but it doesn’t seem to have happened.

“And about two weeks ago now. … A 9-year-old girl went missing near the academy.”

It’s the Middle Ages. All kinds of cris were common. However, the problem was that the cri occurred around the academy.

Even in modern tis, security is good around schools. The sa was true for the empire, which had only one academy. Infrastructure is concentrated here.

However, there was a high possibility that its disappearance would lead to quite serious problems.

“This ti too, I couldn’t find even a single thread, let alone any evidence. Fortunately, there have been no disappearances since then, but you never know. We can’t just leave it alone unless we find the culprit. That’s all.”

“Where exactly is the child missing?”

“I don’t know exactly about that either. Because there was no evidence or testimony. This is such a strange thing. All you can do is… search blindly. “For now.”

Gilbert felt very frustrated.

“In any case, so evidence is bound to remain. But this incident… it’s like smoke, I can’t catch anything. “This is my first ti doing sothing like this.”

Ruid imdiately spoke.

“The culprit is a wizard.”

“yes?”

Ruid wrote in his diary. Not in Korean like last ti, but in Imperial.

[Most likely a wizard in his 70s or older, between the 7th and 8th ranks.]

“How can you be sure? “I just kept repeating that there was no evidence.”

Gilbert was beyond puzzled.

However, these are the words of no one else, but of a genius who even gives magic explanations at this young age.

Of course, I couldn’t just ignore it.

“It’s the thod of elimination.”

“yes?”

“The fact that they disappeared in succession has a clear purpose. “Accidental cris are excluded.”

“…yes.”

“If you leave no trace, you’re probably not an ordinary person, right? The general public is also excluded. Then two things remain. Either use a sword well or use magic well.”

“yes.”

“I’m making a guess based on this. “The criminal’s purpose.”

Gilbert’s pupils shook as he looked at Luid without the slightest hesitation.

“There may be several, but I think there are two. “Soone who wants to brag about the perfect cri, or soone who wants to use a young child to do sothing.”

Luid’s voice lowered.

“The forr is unlikely. If I wanted to show off, I would have left a trace. As if to get angry. “There’s not even a trace of that, right?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Gilbert gulped and swallowed dry saliva.

By simply explaining the situation, the young boy in front of him was getting to the root of the incident that he had no clue about.

“Then it would be the latter. Is there anything that can benefit a young child? There is one thing that imdiately cos to mind in my mind. horsepower.”

“…horsepower?”

“huh. It’s theoretically possible. A way for wizards who have reached their limits to increase their magic power. The most efficient one among them is extracting the magic power of a talented young child. For that to be possible, the 7th rank must be surpassed, growth has stagnated, and the desire to move up must be strong. It won’t go beyond the 8th level. “From the 9th rank onwards, they are called archmages.”

“…!”

Gilbert’s eyes were filled with astonishnt.

I had no idea that sothing like that was possible.

“A young child has more magical power than an average adult. If you are willing to throw away your humanity, this is the first thod worth trying. “Not everyone can do it.”

Ruid looked at Gilbert.

“At first, we kidnapped children from slums who were not burdened. If it were a slum, no one would care if a few children were missing. However, you will soon discover that it is less efficient. A child without talent will probably not be able to extract a lot of magical power. I couldn’t be satisfied. So the criminal beca bolder. The closer you get to the center of the system, the more likely you are to encounter a talented kid, so you get closer. So, the criminal’s final target is most likely the academy.”

Ruid paused for a mont and began writing down what he needed to investigate first.

Gilbert’s expression was very frozen.

He was embarrassed. I was confident that I had so expertise in the investigation, but the boy in front of only listened for a mont and ca up with the most credible solution.

Even if the thod was difficult, after listening to it, I lanted why I didn’t think of this.

“I had no idea it would be this simple.”

“It’s natural because Gilbert doesn’t know much about wizards. And no matter what the problem is, it feels easy once you know the answer.”

After writing down everything, Ruid tore off the piece of paper and held it out to Gilbert.

Gilbert accepted politely.

“We will definitely resolve this as soon as possible.”

‘I’m sure this will be resolved on its own.’

Alia didn’t want to co forward. So, this was the limit.

Alia is capable. I believed that if she had the right direction, she would be able to solve the case quickly.

From afar, Ruid caught sight of Alia, who was intently observing the mbers’ posture.

“Resolve it quickly and let my sister rest.”

The night had passed and the quiet dawn was approaching.

Although everyone was asleep, their swords did not shake even an inch.

Ruid thought it was cool to see people working hard for sothing.
