Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

< Apiography 21. A blue spring to you (3) >

#08

When Lanse arrived at the rear of the airship, the members were already gathered. Below the railing, a stream of clouds was flowing rapidly.

This narrow balcony, which could only be reached through the side door of the guest room, was the perfect place for plotting a plot. Lance, who was looking around, spoke carefully.

“So, you really can’t see Navardose?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

The boys hesitated after hearing Ranse’s question.

Willump the Glassesman and Sensen the Spearman.

They were friends from the martial arts department who shared the same goals as him.

They all had a solemn look on their face, like they were going to war somewhere.

Willump, who was looking around like a meerkat, continued speaking.

“I overheard the professors talking in the hallway. The audience will be canceled for some reason. Damn it!”

“Ha…I was hoping for the wrong information.”

Lance sighed deeply. If this were to happen, he would eventually have to execute the operation.

It was also a very dangerous operation.

Seeing his troubled face, Sensen urged him.

“Lance. Why are you worrying so much? An opportunity like this will never come again.”

“Yes! Do you think there will be a day to come to Adren in the future? You may not know this, but this is our last time!”

In fact, it was closer to a plea rather than a urging.

Even if you were a student at Phileon Academy, coming to Adren was a huge task. Opportunities that are never given to others are provided in the form of school trips. Only Ronan’s bloodline, Lanse, was able to freely visit Adren.

“Lance. No, Ranse. Please!”

Willump grabbed Lanse’s trouser legs.

Sensen knelt down after him and began to bow his head repeatedly.

The people who were rescued while wandering in the desert seemed to be less desperate than this.

Lance squeezed his eyes shut as he looked at his friends in despair.

“…Okay, let go of this for now.”

“Oh, of course! It’s Lance of course!”

“Son of a hero!”

Dawn fell on the boys’ faces. I was so deeply moved that I was almost embarrassed.

As someone who actively supported the plan, I had nothing to say.

“Then I guess you brought the right supplies, right?”

“Of course. Look at this.”

Willump grinned. He took out a small mechanical device from his inner pocket. A round lens was attached to the cube that fit comfortably in the palm of his hand.

“This is an ultra-light camera commissioned directly from Didican Workshop. Not only is it as light as a feather, but it makes no sound so you don’t have to worry about being caught. Aren’t you going to kill me?”

“I’m asking just in case. You don’t usually do voyeurism, right?”

“What the fuck are you looking at me for? This thing was made only for today. The only subject that can be included here is the Mother of Fire.”

Willump growled.

The way he lowered his glasses and frowned was evidence that he had become extremely serious.

Lance waved his hand.

“sorry. “Calm down, I was wrong.”

“Yes. You can’t doubt my sincerity, Ranse. I still haven’t forgotten the picture I saw when I went to your house. The Mother of Fire standing with Ronan was really… amazing.” Sensen next to me nodded.

I was referring to Ronan’s graduation photo.

His eyes were sparkling as he reflected on Navardose’s appearance, like a child seeing the sky or the sea for the first time. It was a pitiful appearance that, if a third party saw it, would make them want to encourage suicide, but Ranse could not do that. Because he was also dreaming the same dream as the two people.

Lance said.

“Okay. Then, I’ll organize the plan. The first thing is to sneak into the Flame Palace in the center of the city. You don’t have to worry too much because you’ll go in through a secret passage, but you have to be good at fooling the professor and your friends.”

“This is accurate information, right? It’s not that I don’t believe what Ronan said, but…”

“I’m absolutely certain that I said it because I was drunk. After entering the palace, I will immediately swallow the invisibility potion. Sensei, did you take the awareness-blocking scroll?”

“of course”

Sensen took out three scrolls from her pocket and waved them.

The awareness-impairing scroll produced by the Acalusia family was a luxury item he had purchased with half a year’s worth of pocket money.

At that rate, even the dragons wouldn’t notice right away.

“Excellent. Cognitive impairment has a short duration, so don’t use it until I give the signal. The best scenario is that it activates when you take a picture and lasts until you leave the palace, but I don’t know if it will work. Remember the point I emphasized. Right?”

“huh. “Even if you get caught, you have to be caught in front of Navardose.”

“That’s right. There’s a high probability that he will forgive you. That way, even if you fail to take a picture, you will have a second chance. Take out the camera and ask if you can take a commemorative photo just once to express your respect. Be as pitiful as possible to that person. “Because of his personality, he probably won’t refuse.”

“W-As expected…an idea worthy of a descendant of a hero.”

Willump and Sensen were impressed.

Even though I looked pretty, I was still a bastard.

Lan Se came up with a plan so brilliant that it was hard to believe that he was the guy who had pulled it off just a moment ago. Suddenly, he thought of another variable and twisted his lips.

‘As long as I don’t get caught by Sechika.’

My body trembled just thinking about it.

To be honest, Sechika held a large share of the stake that clouded Ranse’s will.

The moment the operation was discovered, she would use her telekinesis to beat up all of her masterminds, including Ranse.

Even if you survive the witchcraft beating, contempt awaits you as if you were staring at a bug.

It was the car where Lanse was telling himself that it was okay.

“Interesting. When I heard the name Navardose, I wondered if they were plotting some kind of conspiracy.”

“W-Who are you?!”

Suddenly a familiar voice rang out from above her head.

The boys who looked up froze.

A girl with bronze skin was sitting on the cabin.

“Me, me? How come here…!”

“I heard everything. “You monkeys.”

Lance’s face turned pale. Nabi Rose landed lightly on the balcony.

Even though she was quite high, I couldn’t hear her footsteps at all.

She sighed as she looked into her boys’ faces.

“It’s so hard for males to understand. The only thing they come all the way to Adren is to peek at their breasts… For the first time, I feel skeptical about my job.”

“It’s not a chest, it’s a flame sac.”

Suddenly Willump lowered his glasses and pointed.

Just by looking at his facial expression, he looked like a revolutionary resisting human rights oppression.

With butterflies, I frowned at her.

“what?”

“And it’s not about peeping, it’s about engraving unprecedented beauty into history. What does a wasteland like you know?”

His index finger remained on Nabirose’s chest.

Her brows narrowed at the insult she had never heard before.

“…badlands?”

“Yes. You seem quite confident, but compared to the Mother of Fire, you are nothing. I don’t know where you suddenly appeared, but don’t teach a man’s dreams to a woman!”

“I’ve lived so long that I hear all sorts of things… That’s it. I’ll give you a special pass because you have the courage, so just quietly back off from your plan.”

“Nonsense! I promise you that you will keep what you see and hear here a secret. “I don’t consider myself Instructor Nabiroje’s nephew.”

With those words, Will Rump took out a scroll from his pocket.

The rolled up paper had magic imprinted on it in case something went wrong.

Nabirose, who saw the solemn look in his eyes, laughed.

“Why don’t you take class more seriously, Willump?”

“What? How do you say my name…”

“I refuse to take an oath. Think of this as a substitute for disciplinary action.”

Willump was about to say something. Butterfly Rose’s figure disappeared and he reappeared behind him.

Wow! Willump’s eyes rolled over with a light hitting sound.

“Oops!”

Will Rump rolled his eyes and collapsed. Normally, his forehead should have been broken, but Nabirose caught him before his body hit the floor.

“Willump! What is this…!”

The boys were astonished. Sensen didn’t even understand what had happened.

I wondered if the two images overlapped, but Willump suddenly fainted.

“W-That’s ridiculous…”

The only one who noticed was Lanse. He narrowed the distance and at the same time barely caught Nabirose’s movement as he struck the back of Willump’s neck with the blade of his hand. That’s why Ranse was so frightened that he couldn’t move.

Because he realized that there was a gap that could not be bridged.

On the other hand, Sensen, who could not see anything, was screaming and running.

“How dare my friend…! “I won’t look at you just because you’re a lady!”

“Your movements are still stiff. Sensen.”

Of course, it was more reckless than a moth jumping into a wildfire.

Butterfly Rose was watching him run with his hands in his pockets.

Ranse tried to shout out to be careful, but the game was already over.

puck! Sensen’s body fell forward with a belated impact sound.

“anyway.”

With a butterfly, I clicked his tongue.

He felt as much self-destruction as when he put on his school uniform.

You’re making the students you were teaching until yesterday faint right now.

‘What on earth am I doing?’

If he had the same mind, he would have knocked out Ran Se as well and then thrown it to his new ‘friend’, but he decided to hold off for a while. Not being able to have an audience with Navardose was quite shocking news to her.

She laid her Sensen down on the floor and looked back at Ranse.

“Lance.”

“Why, what’s wrong?”

“There is only one way for today’s events to remain a secret.”

“what is that?”

“Take me instead of these guys.”

“……what?”

Lance shed confusion.

Nabirose was already packing up Willump and Sensen’s luggage.

She was someone who had to have an audience with Navardose at all costs. As she endured this humiliation, she came all the way to Adren, and could never understand that she was officially forbidden to have an audience with her.

Nabirose, aiming at Willump and Sensen, tore a scroll.

Seaaaa… the mist rose through the cracks in the paper and seeped into the noses and mouths of the two people.

“I’m glad I bought the expensive one. There won’t be any side effects.”

Nabirose said to herself.

It was a silence scroll that Willump took out.

In the fog, there was fragmentary memory erasure and sleep magic at the same time.

Lance’s answer had not yet come back.

After finishing cleaning up after her, I lifted her head with butterflies.

“Why is there no answer? Maybe you don’t like it?”

“It’s because I don’t understand. Why are you going? “It might be very dangerous.”

“I don’t want to hear from the guy who tried to sneak into the Flame Palace for a photo shoot.”

“Well, that’s…!”

Lance’s face turned red.

Fortunately, she seemed to be aware that it was a shameful act.

Suddenly Nabirose, who was looking at his face, laughed.

The most outstanding student among the current jockeys.

The raised eye corners, long eyelashes, and sunset colored eyes were identical to Ronan’s.

It would have been enough to just resemble his face and talent.

“You really look like Ronan. It’s amazing.”

“Ooh, do you know my father?”

“I know. Thanks to you, I learned that tastes are hereditary. Anyway, bigger is always better.”

“Yes…?”

Ranse frowned, but Nabirose did not respond.

She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Lance’s ear and twisted it.

“Aaaah! W-what are you doing!?”

“It’s noisy. We’ll land soon, so follow us.”

“Ears! Get off my ears!”

“The taste is excellent. Even this one resembles it.”

Nabirose laughed. He seemed to have gone back to when he was teaching Ronan more than ten years ago.

She returned to her deck, dragging her screaming Lance with her.

Under the bright full moon, the city of dragons floating in the sky was already getting closer.
