Episode 316
-Wood-dud-duk…!
“Wow…”
Count Justinian’s right arm, whose head was broken and bleeding profusely, was shattered.
“eww…”
Thanks to this, the Count, who was writhing and moaning on the floor, soon turns one eye black and looks at Frey.
– Shaaa…
And the next moment, dark magic began to swirl around his body.
The artificial dark magic power of the Count Justinian family, which had been immersed in darkness for a long time, was revealed.
– Shaaaaa…!
In the blink of an eye, dark magic spreads throughout the room.
“If I were to die like this and lose my family and my daughter, it would be better to at least try to resist.”
The Count, whose blackened eyes were bleeding, muttered in a soulless voice.
“I thought I would come to my senses if I got hit, but it seems like my brain cells died. Next time I hit someone, I won’t touch my head.”
However, Frey, who was looking at the Count, soon snorted and stretched out his hand.
“Count, have you forgotten who I am?”
At the same time, the dazzling starry mana spreads out in all directions.
– Pajiiing…!
The mana of the stars, which were scattered and twinkling around like stars floating in the night sky, soon exploded all at once, spewing out light in all directions.
– Chii Iik…
A dazzling light that destroys all uncleanness, strangeness, and darkness.
It is not a fake divine power that is widely known due to the long-standing propaganda of the church, but a sacred power that is truly given by God and passed down from generation to generation to those who carry on the blood of the family.
It is weaker than the mana of the sun and has less durability than the mana of the moon.
However, if you burn your life force.
Like a supernova that emits more dazzling light than anything else in an instant, it is the mana of a star that can produce a power that is nobler and more sacred than any other power that exists in the world.
“…shit.”
Therefore, no matter how much Count Justinian acquired excellent dark magic through experiments, there was no way he could fight back.
“It’s out of standard.”
The Count looks on with a dejected expression as the dark magic that had bloomed to the point of permanently damaging the inside of his body was so easily erased.
“I didn’t know you could handle star mana so well.”
“……”
“Was the rumor about the star’s mana wrong after all?”
All of the past heads of the Starlight family were good people. There was not a single evil person.
It has not been revealed whether it is because of the mana of the stars, which is the noblest mana of all, or whether it is the blood of the warriors that flows in their blood.
In a way, this may have been a natural result, since they were a member of the Starlight clan who could only demonstrate the ‘power of the hero’, the true power of star mana, by burning their life force only when they truly had the heart to ‘sacrifice’ for others.
“Maybe it’s a mutation or something.”
Frey, who was recalling the memory of being impressed when he read the contents written in the ‘Settings’ section of the Book of Prophecy when he was young, quickly smiled and answered like that.
“By the way, do you know? Count?”
Then, he soon begins to approach the count with a curious expression.
“I killed my mother by hitting her head with a club.”
“……..”
Looking at the blood flowing from the Count’s broken head, Frey whispers in a low voice.
“But the system didn’t treat it as murder. I guess it just treated it as hunting a monster?”
“Now, what are you talking about… ugh…!”
The Count, who was looking at Frey’s sudden words with trembling eyes, breaks his fingers and struggles.
“So I had no choice but to commit one more immoral act in the previous round. At that time, it was really…”
Frey, who was looking down at him with cold eyes and breaking his fingers one by one, quietly listens when the Count opens his mouth and mutters in a low voice.
“What on earth are you talking about now…”
“Well, there’s no way it would get across to someone who doesn’t know anything like this. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. As you may have noticed, I’ve become a maniac these days. I sometimes say nonsense like this.”
Then, Frey burst out laughing and muttered that, but then his expression changed to cold in an instant and he asked a question.
“So, how are you going to pay for destroying a family?”
Only then did the Count close his eyes.
“There is a perfect solution that can be done in times like this.”
In his ear, Frey whispers in a low voice.
“Just like you did, I will ruin your family.”
“…!”
“Just like you did, I will trample on your precious family.”
“Oh, no!!”
“Why not? That’s strange. You did it solely for the benefit of your family, so you’re saying I shouldn’t do it?”
When Frey tilts his head with a puzzled expression, Count Justino pulls his body from the verge of losing consciousness and grabs his leg.
“I’d rather torture me… I’d rather torture me for a hundred years or a thousand years!!”
“Why me? Wouldn’t it be better to ruin your family and take your daughter?”
“Ugh, ugh!”
Then, when Frey said that, the Count gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to him.
– Sigh…!
At that very moment, Frey’s blow struck him hard on the back of the head.
“eww…”
Thanks to you, Count Justinian slowly closes his eyes.

“I will burn your family, enslave your daughter, and then terrorize you until you die.”
“Ahhh…”
The words Frey whispered in his ear before he lost consciousness rang so vividly in his mind.
“That’s why I shouldn’t have done something I regret.”
“ah…..”
The Count, who had lost everything he had accumulated and could not even protect the daughter he wanted to protect, lost consciousness, consumed by the fear he felt for the first time in his life.
‘Karma… Is it.’
What he remembered at the last moment was the evil deeds he had been committing for the sake of his family and his daughter.
‘Urelia…’
Drenched in regret, lament, and despair, a gaunt old man fell unconscious in the teacher’s office.
“……”
Frey, who was quietly watching the scene, soon began to tap the guy with his foot.
“young master.”
“It’s a surprise.”
But at that moment, a person appeared next to Frey.
“Um, okay. I guess you were all listening?”
Kania, who had been in Frey’s shadow all day in preparation for an emergency, suddenly appeared next to him.
“Get this out of my sight. Leave it where the princely nobles are locked up.”
“…yes.”
As Frey touched Count Justiniano with his foot and spoke with an expressionless expression, Cania nodded quietly.
“Well, now I have to go and do what I said.”
“……?”
Then, when she heard Frey’s next words, her eyes widened.
“Ah. When Count Justino comes to his senses, continue to make him aware of what I just said, either in vision or in words. So that he continues to struggle with his own karma.”
“…….”
“Well, I’m busy so I’ll stop.”
Frey patted her on the shoulder and left the teacher’s room with an excited expression on his face, and soon there was silence.
“………ha.”
In that silence, Cania, who was looking at the unconscious Count Justinian with a pale, exhausted expression, muttered in a low voice.
“I can’t fool you, master.”
Her melancholy voice fills the quiet room.
“…I, the culprit, am still alive and well.”
Tears were welling up around Kania’s eyes.
“Even after getting to that point, you still don’t hate me, young master.”
.
“…So, you have something to talk about before you leave?”
A few hours later.
“Eurelia, are you listening?”
Frey was smiling and asking a question to Eurelia, who came to the teacher’s office.
“……”
However, Eurelia simply bowed her head in front of him and remained silent.
“Count Eurelia von Justinian? Is it urgent right now? You must leave immediately and lead the troops…”
-Sreung…!
Then she suddenly took out a dagger from her bosom and swung it at Frey.
“Oh my.”
However, Frey simply grabs her arm with his right hand.
“…I just tried to assassinate you.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Eurelia, who was looking at Frey, spoke in a low voice.
“So now, are you going to crush my arm too?”
“……”
“Are you going to make me a wreck like my father?”
Frey smiles and quietly shakes his head in response to her question, which is even more lifeless today.
“why.”
Then, Eurelia opens her mouth with tears in her eyes.
“why.”
“You are my student.”
Then, Yurelia stops talking after hearing those words.
“As I said before, your father rebelled against me by using dark magic. So I got angry and beat him up.”
When Frey said that to Yurelia, Yurelia’s arms began to tremble.
“Still, you rebel, so I made you a scarecrow. Now you are the master of the family. If you succeed in rebelling, you will monopolize the wealth and power. So…”
“I admired you.”
“…hmm?”
Then, she quietly closes her mouth and begins to mutter to herself.
‘I admired you for having strength and knowledge that I couldn’t find in other professors, and for sharing it without anything in return.’
“…..?”
‘I was so conceited that I saw the children as tools, but I fell into a trap and almost died, so I was grateful to you for saving me and showing me how foolish I was.’
“……..”
‘It was great that the professor beat up all the scum of the empire that only believed in power and those that no one dared touch.’
Eurelia, who was muttering calmly but with dead eyes in her mind, quietly focused her gaze on Frey.
‘Before I knew it, I was showing interest in the professor.’
“……”
‘To the professor who everyone calls a villain, who is actually a villain, but who deserves respect more than anyone else.’
At the same time, Frey’s eyes were slightly shaking without anyone noticing.
‘It’s a pain.’
The ‘mind-reading skills’ she had turned on while dealing with Count Justinian were conveying her thoughts to Frey.
‘It was the first time in my life. I’ve felt this way towards people and men. So I was curious, and strangely excited.’
Upon hearing those words, Frey frowns and scratches his head.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay to open your heart once in a while? ‘I also had this stupid thought.’
To anyone who could see it, it looked like it was quite a pain in the ass.
“professor.”
In such a situation, Eurelia asks Frey a question in a low voice.
“How do you view me, Professor?”
Then, Frey opens his mouth without delay.
“My student.”
“More details.”
After hearing those words, Frey quietly opens the system window and begins muttering to himself like she did.
[Eurelia von Justinian]
[Abilities: Strength 3 / Magic Power 7 / Intelligence 9.1 / Spirituality 3.1]
‘Magic power and intelligence are high, but mental power is low. ‘I’m hiding it from everyone.’
[Special Features: White Wizard’s Talent / Black Wizard’s Talent]
[Alignment: Hero of difficult times / Hero of difficult times]
‘Depending on who leads it, he is someone who can either save the world or burn it down.’
[Good function value: 0]
‘And he is a child with infinite potential who is not biased in any direction yet.’
“professor?”
‘Like the middle name Pawn, it can be any object. A child with endless possibilities.’
After completing his evaluation of her with his eyes closed, Frey asks in a low voice.
“Do you want to kill me?”
“…yes.”
Then, Eurelia responded with a tear falling from her eye.
“I hate you for taking away my only family.”
‘And, at the same time, it’s good.’
Although there was only one word spoken, two meanings were being conveyed to Frey.
“So, I definitely want to kill you.”
‘I want to surpass you.’
Frey looked at her blankly and smiled sheepishly without realizing it.
– Sigh…!
“”ah.””
Suddenly, the dagger digs into his left arm, and his eyes widen along with her.
-Purrrrrr…
His right arm, which was still wearing a white glove, was trembling as it lost hold of the dagger.
“Why aren’t you attacking me?”
“……”
“Why, why? Why.”
When Frey just keeps his eyes open even though his arm is completely pierced by the dagger, she asks with tears streaming down from her eyes.
“If we defeat you too, there will be no one to raise an army to rebel.”
– Sigh!
“So, go quickly.”
Frey, looking at Eurelia, snaps his fingers and activates the ‘Slave Seal’ on her stomach.
“I will complete the mission and return.”
Then, Yurelia said that in a trembling voice.
“…From now on, I will do my best to kill you.”
That was exactly what she said to Frey right before leaving the teacher’s office.
“It’s a surprise.”
“From now on… I will try my best to kill you… Note…”
Except for the sound he made in surprise when he found Roswin squatting next to the door of the teacher’s office and writing something.
“……”
Just like that, Frey was left alone in the dark teacher’s room again.
“young master.”
“huh.”
Frey, who was lost in thought for a moment, heard Kania’s voice from behind and his eyes lit up.
“When did you say you were scared?”
“Just kidding. There are so many scum in the world who would do that to a child. It’s a problem because there are so many of them. We need to kill them all.”
Then, Frey grumbles at that one word and puts his feet up on the desk.
“I placed an illusion on Count Justinian. Until the end of his life, he will be buried in his own karma and suffocate in the fantasy world you mentioned.”
“Okay, good job.”
Frey, who was taking a strong drink from a drawer and drinking it, nodded and muttered to Kania’s report.
“So, why did you make this decision?”
“hmm.”
Then, after receiving Kania’s question, Frey smiled and started talking.
“Kania, I decided to change my perspective after the fourth trial was about to begin by force.”
“…yes.”
While Kania nods her head with a hesitant expression, Frey continues talking while taking a sip of his drink.
“So, I decided to go crazy.”
“Why does that happen like that…”
“But being crazy doesn’t mean being corrupted.”
“……..”
After saying that, Frey continued speaking while thinking about the corruption quest that had been completed with an unpleasant look in his eyes.
“It was Count Justinian who was at fault, not his daughter Eurelia.”
“……”
“There is no punishment more barbaric than guilt by association, right?”
Then, Kania’s eyes trembled slightly.
“She was raised by her father without any knowledge of the family’s ugly and disgusting criminal behavior, and she thinks of her father as a cold-blooded person who just protects the good. It is unacceptable for her to be harassed for punishing the Count.”
“…………”
“And depending on who leads him, he can become either a good person or a bad person. So, the future can be seen as important.”
“young master.”
“Sometimes the truth is too harsh. So much so that a child with a mental strength of 3.1 cannot stand it and falls apart the moment he realizes it.”
The look in Frey’s eyes as she said that was something she was familiar with.
“She has the right to know the truth, so I won’t stop her from investigating. However, it might be a good idea to return her anger until she can handle the truth.”
“…………”
“And, he’s still a kid.”
This year’s first graders include children who are several years younger than the original recruitment age.
Of course, there are no cases of extremely young age like Glare or Aria, but due to the emergency decree issued around the world, a significant number of children who were too young to come to the academy applied.
And Eurelia was also of that type.
“You can’t touch the child.”
Frey muttered about his own great principles, which he considered as important as his beliefs as a warrior, and then quietly turned his attention to Kania.
“Young Master, you haven’t changed as expected.”
“Is that so? I’m not sure.”
And then, just as I was about to reply with a shy smile to the girl who was smiling softly.
“So, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh? What is it?”
Kania opened her mouth with a relieved expression.
“Now, Prince Killian has arrived in front of the academy.”
And that moment.
“Ugh?”
Frey, who had become accommodating, stood up, putting his mouth to his ear.
-Sreung…!
“That fat bastard really came? Did he try it once? Does he have no brains? Where did he sell his staff?”
“Yes, master.”
Then, Frey took out his sword that was hanging on the wall and spoke with an excited expression.
“Kania, let’s go cut down the pig!”
“……..”
That was when Kania started to make a blank expression.
– Sigh…
Suddenly, Frey puts his sword down on the floor.
“Hmm hmmm~”
Then, Frey hummed and headed toward the exit of the teacher’s office.
“Master? Are you going naked now?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Then, he begins to answer Kania’s urgent questions with a bright smile.
“Sister Isolette said that the sword is used to protect people. But I haven’t been able to do that lately.”
“Yes, yes. You definitely need to show some self-respect…”
As Kania spoke in a low voice while breaking out in a cold sweat, Frey started clenching his fists with a refreshing smile on his face.
“So, if I beat you with my hands until I die? That’s okay, isn’t it?”
“You’ve changed, but…”
Kania, looking at him, hastily took out a communication crystal ball and muttered in a low voice.
“Kania, I’ll teach you how to make pork roll today! This is a popular food in the Eastern Continent…”
“…you’ve changed 360 degrees.”
It was a keen judgment from a seasoned female deacon.
.
Meanwhile, at that time.
“Hurry and open the door!!”
“Prince, please calm down! First, tell us our story…!”
“The handwriting on the letter is the same, and the Marquis’ voice is the same. I even checked the reflection in the crystal ball. What’s the problem?”
Prince Killian, with his henchmen in tow, was screaming in front of the tightly closed doors of the academy.
“Can’t you just open it!”
“Prince!!”
“Shut up, who is the prince!!”
His face was so red, he really looked like a pig.
“I am now the emperor of this empire!!!”
