Episode 135. When the wind of change
Adrias entered the room, there was a brief lull.
In the chilly atmosphere, the 3rd year quartet, who received Adrias’ gaze, tried to look at him straight, but slowly turned their heads at the unknown energy that gradually spread.
‘What is this?’
Jamal Hammington, the leader of the 4-mber group, was confused by the pressure pressing down on his entire body.
It reminded of Count Patrick Bagras, a northern margrave I had t before.
‘It can’t be. There’s no way I’m on par with him!’
No matter how hard I tried to erase my thoughts, the nagging and stuffy reality didn’t change.
Then Vivian opened her mouth.
“Adrias has a seat here.”
Vivian’s words instantly evoked the atmosphere that had dominated the room.
The 3rd years, who let out a sigh of relief inside, looked at Adrias with a look of caution.
“thank you.”
Adrias went to Vivian without saying anything to the group of four.
As he sat down next to Vivian, Vivian tucked her hair over her ear as if asking for a look. Then the earrings adorned with white jewels sparkled.
Adrias, who had been watching Vivian’s expression as if she was looking for sothing, laughed bitterly.
“It suits you well.”
“huh. Because Adrias gave it to you.”
Vivian smiled as if she had received the answer she was looking for.
“Is Adrias-senpai a gift?”
Lucia suddenly intervened between the two with a startled look on her face.
The bad mood from the 4-mber group went nowhere, so I quickly approached Vivian and checked the earrings.
“Hmm?”
After checking the earring, Lucia stared at Adrias with a bad-tempered expression.
However, Adrias, who had no idea in the first place, looked at her blankly for so reason, and eventually Lucia spat out a word.
“I haven’t seen it that way, but he’s a surprisingly good player?”
“What are you talking about?”
Adrias, feeling troubled that Lucia seed to be getting more active as the days went by, tried to look back at the first year students.
Louis Atman.
I could see that he was growing step by step even without any advice.
I heard that he recently had a sparring match with Vivian, but I didn’t know that Vivian would win, so I was wondering if I should help Louis grow up.
Chris Yunor.
It seed that the advice had worked well, and the water had risen recently.
However, in order to confirm accurately, it was necessary to try sparring once again.
Serena Estial.
I was having the hardest ti out of the three.
Since he had to throw away the swordplay he had learned so far and even change his weapon, it was obviously the most difficult.
He was planning to get her a new swordsman.
‘busy.’
The reason Adrias dared to participate in this interview was because all the playables were gathered.
I didn’t intend to stay long as I was just visiting to confirm.
So, when I was invited to an interview, I asked for your understanding in advance.
That I can’t spend that long.
smart.
“The interview is ready.”
At the words of the newspaper staff, everyone rose from their seats.
When I ca out, the seats were ready, and on either side were Kram, the head of the newspaper, who was in charge of the interview, and Marvin, a field trip student from Vulkan Academy.
“It is an honor to be able to et all these outstanding people. haha.”
Marvin greeted with a good laugh.
“My na is Marvin Garrett from Vulkan Academy. I wish you well today.”
At his greeting, the interviewees nodded and sat down.
When everyone was seated, Kram gave a signal to the newspaper clerk who was holding the video recording artifact, and video recording began.
“As I said before, I hope you understand that this is for record keeping and copying in newspapers. Now, let’s start the interview.”
Kram spoke to Vivian first, holding the script he had prepared in advance.
“Can I start with student Vivian Velocan?”
“huh.”
Vivian nodded and imdiately Marvin took over.
“So far, most spring tournants have been won by seniors and runners-up. But this year, a cataclysm happened. I know student Vivian Velokan as one of the protagonists of the incident. After a little research, I heard that the grades were not excellent from the beginning. Did this tournant improve your skills?”
“Adrias.”
“yes?”
“Thanks to Adrias.”
Marvin looked back and forth between Adrias and Vivian, montarily puzzled by Vivian’s answer.
And soon, realizing that Adrias was the cause of his improved skills, he clapped his hands.
“ah! You an Student Adrias helped you? Apparently, Adrias also handles swords… … .”
“that’s right.”
Adrias couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at Vivian’s answer.
Even in the ga, she was a skilled swordsman.
It was a problem because not only the people around him, but even himself did not know about it, and the incident in which his skills were displayed was tragic.
“joy. Anyway, how helpful was the wizard… … .”
Then soone muttered.
Kram thought he had heard it wrong, and turned his head to the sound right next to him.
‘no way?’
Kram gave a strange smile.
In fact, it is not known to the world, but Kram, who has been collecting information from various students, knew that Jamal actually admired Vivian.
That’s why I could often hear eyewitness accounts of her gossiping about Diene Alven, who had beaten Vivian.
‘Wouldn’t that be fun?’
It seed that only he who was right next to him could hear it.
Kram, who needed a stimulating material, decided to throw the bait right away.
“Student Vivian! Is it okay if I ask you a question this ti?”
Marvin was slightly taken aback by Kram’s unscripted behavior, but quietly watched.
“huh.”
“You just said that your skills have improved thanks to Student Adrias. Can I ask you specifically what kind of help you received?”
“… … secret.”
“Oh oh?”
Newspaper mbers who were listening to Vivian’s aningful words twinkled their eyes.
Finding sothing in her strange nuance, they cast a hurried glance at their manager.
“It can’t be helped if it’s an intimate conversation between the two of you.”
“Secret?”
Jamal shouted.
Kram struggled to control his expression as he watched Jamal flop around, hooked on his own words.
And the arrowhead of Jamal, who was hooked and provoked by Kram, went straight to Adrias.
“What did you dare to do to Vivian-senpai, Adrias Cromwell!”
“That is rude. What are you doing during the interview?”
Diene said, frowning at Jamal, who jumped out of her seat.
However, Jamal, who had already lost his sight, was glaring at Adrias with a sigh.
He had long since forgotten the montum of Adrias he had just experienced.
“How dare you touch Vivian-senpai? you today i… … .”
“Noisy.”
Perong!
A sudden light burst in front of Jamal’s eyes.
“Ah!”
Jamal scread as he felt his vision go white.
Adrias, who simply neutralized Jamal, looked at Kram.
“Cram lkins.”
“Yes?”
“Do I look stupid?”
“What is that… … .”
“You openly provoked Jamal. Do I have to speak with my own mouth?”
As Adrias spoke, he began to radiate the energy of universal knowledge.
Adrias’s energy began to fill the surroundings, and everyone in the sa room felt their breath getting tight.
“Am I funny?”
“Oh no. That’s not it, Adrias… … .”
Kram, who couldn’t stand Adrias’ montum that was getting stronger, lowered his head in a cold sweat.
“I’m sorry. I will never ask questions or joke like this again.”
“I had no intention of doing the interview for a long ti. I’m in a bad mood, so I’ll have to go first.”
Adrias got up from his seat, cald down, greeted Diene, Lucia, and the 3rd year trio, and said to Vivian.
“I will go first.”
After Adrias left, the rest of the people only swallowed their saliva in the chilly atmosphere.
While Jamal was still in pain, as if her vision had not recovered, Vivian cautiously rose from her seat and followed Adrias without a word.
“Did you just see Lucia?”
“Adrias-senpai’s magic?”
“You noticed it too.”
It seed like simple magic, but the two won who were called geniuses recognized it at once.
Great control and casting speed.
Light magic was activated just by sitting and winking.
Most of all, it was surprising that the range of light was simply limited to Jamal’s eyes.
Judging by the intensity of the light, if it had not been controlled, the entire room would have been wrapped in the light, but Adrias refined that enormous firepower with precision.
“It was a good sight. The interview seems to have been ruined.”
“When did Adrias improve his magic skills like that? Haha, by the way, I really barely made ti to participate.”
Diene put on a troubled expression and stood up herself.
Then he said to Lucia.
“There is still ti, but let’s go to a dessert cafe. You should at least take a break from this.”
“great.”
Diene and Lucia told the newspaper staff that they were leaving and disappeared.
The remaining mbers remained silent in the atmosphere of the interview, which was suddenly ruined.
At that ti, Chris, who had been watching this situation quietly, smiled.
“As expected, I am Adrias senior. I am still far away.”
“chris? Where are you going all of a sudden?”
“I have to go practice. I can’t stay still when I see you.”
When even Chris, My Way, left, the interview naturally ended.
Marvin, who was watching, looked at Kram resentfully with a dejected expression.
“You had a really good experience.”
“sorry. I have nothing to say.”
I had forgotten Adrias’ personality.
Thinking that he had been too greedy without even realizing it because he had been quiet lately, Kram had no choice but to write an article about what had happened just a mont ago.
* * *
The topless man had red hair that stretched in all directions like a lion’s mane.
A body glistening with sweat was densely packed with vicious muscles, worthy of being called a human weapon, and only the small muscles of the arms holding the sword were moving minutely.
“Whoup!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
There was no movent.
But as Sinclair Cloche swallowed his breath, the ground he stood on caved in and began to crack like an earthquake.
“haha! It’s fun.”
Sinclair laughed out loud after using a trick that was useless in practice but was quite interesting.
His butler and secretary, Baron Flak, was watching him with an expressionless and cold expression.
“That urgent ssage!”
While Sinclair was training for a while, soone approached Baron Flak.
Sigen Flak quietly stared at the breathless subordinate and asked.
“Tell .”
“haha. Maximin Cronell!”
“Maximin Cronell? Please speak slowly.”
“Sorry. Whoa. Maximin Cronell has entered the Empire.”
“what!”
Sinclair, who thought they were training from afar, ca close to them and scread as if he had teleported.
“Are you saying that Maximan Cronell really ca!”
“That’s right! Right now, the emperor has also declared a state of readiness and has summoned all of the remaining Dukes.”
“ha ha ha! It looks real!”
Sinclair clenched her fists and asked with excited eyes.
“Do you know why he ca?”
“Actually, the reason is… … It is peculiar.”
“Don’t hesitate and tell .”
“They said they ca to visit the academy.”
“Academy?”
At the completely unexpected answer, Sinclair tilted her head and looked at Jigen.
But Jigen, the butler and secretary, just shrugged.
“There is also a rumor that they ca to find a student nad Adrias Cromwell, who is currently attending the academy, but this is not certain.”
“The Earl of Cromwell?”
Sinclair was lost in thought for a mont.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, there seed to be no connection between Maximin and Adrias.
‘No. The Tower of Modras.’
Is that why you ca?
However, it seed unlikely that Maximin could have entered the empire just because of that.
Maximin Cronell.
He was, after all, an official Imperial Wanted.
‘Of course, only words are wanted criminals. How can he be a wanted criminal when there’s no one to catch?’
It was obvious just by looking at the emperor’s reaction.
Upon hearing the news that Maximin had arrived, it seed that he was more willing to negotiate than to catch him.
“Shouldn’t we et first?”
Jigen said with a cold impression.
Sinclair nodded, looking at him who always made cool judgnts.
“yes. First of all, it’s important to know what his purpose is. By the way… … .”
Lately, I’ve been paying attention to the na I’ve heard exceptionally often.
Adrias Cromwell.
The na of Adrias was often ntioned in the dukedom of Mohaim, which has recently been expanding its influence with appropriate judgnt and information power, but without knowing it… … .
‘There’s sothing.’
Is it the wind of change?
Sinclair showed her teeth and laughed.
