Episode 1122
“Of course. Because I meant it to be that way!”
At Nephthys’ words, Simon made a blank expression.
“yes?”
“All the people of the Dark Federation, and even the people of the Holy Federation. “The goal of this work is to get everyone interested in Rune League.”
Nephthys put a cookie in her mouth.
Then, when the powder got dirty around her lips, Lorraine took out a handkerchief and wiped it around her mouth, as if she was used to it.
“Boobboobboob!”
“Hold on a moment.”
Simon smiled slightly. She was still a mother and daughter who seemed to be reversed.
“Ah! Anyway! When this ‘joint operation’ attracted people’s attention for a long time, we immediately received the Rune League promise from the feds and mobilized the media and information guilds on a large scale so that many people knew about it!”
Simon blinked with an expression of not understanding.
“Is there a reason?”
“There is a reason!”
Nephthys crossed her arms confidently, her silver hair flowing.
“What do you think is the reason why the organization launched an all-out terrorist attack across the continent?”
“To bring chaos to the continent. is not it?”
“Then why the confusion?”
Do you want to look at something a little more fundamental?
While Simon was lost in thought for a moment, Lorraine continued speaking.
“Think about it carefully, Simon. Until now, we thought that the reason the organization was trying to throw the world into chaos was to cause conflict and anxiety among people, leading to a collapse of the system, and then to change the world to suit their own tastes.”
“That’s right, Lorraine. “That is the most realistic inference.”
“But what if we think about why associations cause confusion?”
Lorraine’s ruby eyes sank.
“What if human emotions themselves are the purpose?”
“!”
The city collapses, monsters attack, people under the influence of deadly drugs cause terrorism, the world is filled with tragedy, and people hate and fight each other. The role of the Dark Alliance is reduced, and conflicts between kingdoms and social classes intensify.
The same goes for the Holy Federation, whose belief in goddesses and deva religions is the basis of their power, but the residents, who are suffering from various hardships and disasters, have lost their dependence on religion and are filled with dissatisfaction with the system.
What the organization wants is chaos.
At the same time, confusion gives rise to many negative human emotions. Negative emotions such as anger, sadness, hatred, and despair.
What if the purpose of the organization is to collect these human emotions?
“This discovery began with a tip from a necromancer working in the Shahed Kingdom.”
Nephthys said with a very serious expression.
“That friend is a necromancer who uses mental black magic. He uses a technique that instantly draws in the emotions of people around him and then spreads them to others. So he has always been sensitive to people’s emotions. “In recent times, strange phenomena have been discovered.”
“A strange phenomenon?”
<In the past two years, people’s anger and anxiety have become widespread. People in cities have no qualms about causing extreme conflict with others, and people living in quiet rural areas also feel life-threatening and anxious due to the threat of runaway monsters or undead. I thought I could use these emotions to use more powerful mental magic.>
<However, if you go to certain places, especially big cities with many people, you cannot use this black magic. No doubt people’s emotions were overflowing, but these emotions were not gathered under my control. I felt like I was being sucked into somewhere else, heading somewhere other than my magic circle.>
The Dark Alliance, who read this necromancer’s thesis, thought his opinion made sense.
The purpose of the association that has never been discovered before.
What if the purpose is not to cause confusion, incite people’s anger, and heighten opposition to each ruling power, but to elicit negative emotions from people?
“I definitely haven’t thought of that.”
Simon rested his chin and was lost in thought.
Nephthys continued speaking.
“I don’t know how to gather emotions or what to do with them. But if emotions are the goal, then we can fight back so that they don’t get their way!”
“This is the beginning of the counterattack.”
Simon raised his head.
“This is the Rune League.”
“that’s right!”
It focuses the interests and common history of people across the continent into one topic.
Recent joint operation issues have confirmed how interested the people of the continent are in this cooperation. However, any act of diplomacy or war will only cause deep-rooted anger and opposition on both sides.
That’s why the Rune League, a relatively healthy goal where the best students from the two powers, the Federation and the Federation, compete against each other, was put forward as a key issue.
“When I talked to Shinsung Federation, there were some things we agreed on. “Something like the sacred consumption of blessing magic that stabilizes the mind has increased more than usual.”
“ah… … !”
“So this Rune League has an experimental aspect to find out whether the purpose of the Order is really human emotions themselves.”
Nephthys reached out to eat the next cookie, but when she saw that there were none left, she ate it with a disappointed expression.
Simon crossed his arms.
“To be honest, it feels a bit out of the blue. “Have you achieved anything so far?”
“Surprise! there is!”
Nephthys’ eyes sparkled.
“Maybe he got nervous in the fight, but instead of attacking vulnerable areas like usual, he was randomly causing terrorism! Or they are encouraging people and spreading bad rumors. “I think your body is getting hot because things aren’t going as planned.”
“… … “It’s meaningful.”
“That’s why publicity is very important during this Rune League period and camp training! “You will have to travel around the continent and work hard to appeal and promote yourself.”
“Well sir.”
Simon nodded.
“In order to respond to all the confusion caused by the association, we create a powerful common history that all people on the continent pay attention to together. “You mean that?”
“Yep!”
“But there is a downside.”
Simon closed his eyes.

“In this Rune League incident that has attracted so much attention, if something serious happens to the party or something goes wrong… … .”
“that’s right.”
Nephthys’ eyes twinkled.
“It would be like foolishly laying the groundwork for a death-fight. “This is a plan that will sow the seeds of conflict among the people of the entire continent.”
“… … .”
“So Simon!”
Nephthys smiled sweetly and held Simon’s hand.
“Your role as the leader of the coalition representative is the most important!”
‘Sigh.’
Suddenly, an enormous amount of pressure started to come to me.
I never thought there would be a background like this.
“Unpleasant incidents or deaths must never occur! “In the Rune League, we must make sure that our students do not kill or die students from the Holy Federation.”
“… … No, I will try my best.”
ha.
At that time, Lorraine sighed deeply.
“So Mom, have you ever thought about putting too much of a burden on Simon? It’s good to have all eyes drawn to the Rune League, but that also means that the eyes of the desperate will also be drawn to the Rune League. In fact, it is no different from inviting a gangster to our students.”
“Maybe? “Simon is going with us in preparation for that.”
“So, it’s a burden that’s too heavy for Simon to carry alone.”
Lorraine put her hand on her heart.
“If I go with you… … !”
“no!”
“no!”
Simon and Nephthys shouted at the same time.
Lorraine looked at Simon with a slightly sad expression.
“Are you even opposing Simon?”
‘oh.’
I felt like my heart was falling into the bottomless pit because I felt like I hated Lorraine for some reason. Simone’s face turned red and she quickly waved her hand.
“no no! That’s not it… … ! “I said that because if you become the target of a gang and a problem arises, you will have the greatest impact.”
To put it simply, we can somehow avoid something happening to other students.
However, if something were to happen to Lorraine, the daughter of Nephthys and the future leader of the Alliance, it would shake the Dark Alliance to its core. This will not end in chaos as Nephthys’ only child and her only successor will disappear.
The gang will know that fact and will persistently target Lorraine.
“Where are the lives of unimportant people?”
But Lorraine still persisted.
“Everyone is risking their lives to participate in the Rune League, and I… … !”
“Lorraine.”
Simon suddenly grabbed her wrist. Lorraine’s shoulders trembled slightly as her hand was suddenly grabbed.
“Trust me and leave it to me.”
Simon continued speaking in a serious voice.
“I would be strong with all my might if you were with me, but honestly, I’m worried about you so I’m having a hard time concentrating. I will take responsibility for this matter and make it a success. “Please stay here, please.”
“… … .”
Lorraine, who was lost in thought for a moment, quickly turned her head to the side.
“Uhm, well. If Simon says that… … .”
Uhuhuhu.
And Nephthys, sitting next to her, was smiling sinisterly, her chin resting on her calyx.
“Anyway – kids these days are just rude.”
“mom!”
“Anyway, take care of yourself, Simon!”
Nephthys said, raising her hand.
“The federal student council president and leader, Lethe Chardena, is also someone with ideas. “You just have to be careful about unexpected actions!”
“yes. “Please leave it to me.”
Simon nodded and looked out the window slightly.
‘Are we going to be okay? Lethe.’ * * *
“yes yes. all right. “Stop nagging me now.”
Lethe, dressed in Epnel’s school uniform, was answering while brushing her snow-white hair. There was a communication crystal ball on her table.
-You’re nagging me, you didn’t listen to me properly. Lethe.
The voice heard from the communication crystal sphere was that of Israfil, the saint of God.
-Keep this in mind. Lethe’s role is the most important. Representatives of the Holy Federation are not allowed to kill anyone or die. My nephew in the Dark Alliance probably thinks the same way, so let’s try to cooperate somehow.
“I mean, it’s not easy. The mood right now… … .”
Right then, boom! The door to Lethe’s classroom opened with a sound, and a group of people shouted loudly.
“Saint Lethe! Please take me with you! “I will take the heads of the necromancers and offer them to the saint!”
“I said it first! Saint Lethe! A chance to fight the goddess’ enemies… … !”
“Please look at my dog!”
“I come first!”
Looking at the noisy situation outside the classroom, Lethe stroked her hair and sighed.
“Ran.”
Then, the white dragon Ran, the divine beast of Lethe outside the window, swung its huge tail wildly and drove away the flock of Afnel students.
After they had gone far away, Lethe said with a troubled expression.
“Did you hear? Besides, I heard that the archbishops themselves are responsible for organizing the membership, not me!”
-I can not help it. Let me emphasize this again, Lete.
Israfil’s voice rang out.
-There should never be any deaths.
A person who wants to kill.
Someone who tells you not to let them kill you.
I was completely out of my mind. Lethe also sighed softly and looked out her window.
‘This is going to be really difficult, Simon.’ * * *
A few weeks passed like that.
at las.
The morning of full-scale joint training camp dawned.
