The Rebirth of the Hero’s Party’s Archmage Chapter 89

Episode 89

Suppressing a yawn, I left the main gate of Yongryungwan and headed toward the dormitory.

Inexplicably, Christa Warden was unable to attend the student council meeting, so instead, I was exhausted from completing chores.

It was around the time we reached the front of the dorm that a familiar yet unpleasant shadow appeared on the horizon, where summer dusk was gradually setting.

“Hey, why didn’t you come today? “Because of you, I even do everything you should have done in the first place”

At that moment, something poured onto the ground.

It was branch soil.

However, unlike the ones I had seen individually so far, there were more than ten at a glance.

“Thirteen.”

“?”

“Thirteen, the number of scrolls given to you in the first round of this final exam.”

Because the guy had his back to the sun, I couldn’t see his facial expression, but I could clearly tell that his voice was quite serious.

“I can’t afford to pay attention to anything else until I catch up with this. I have no heart! “Don’t worry about anything else and focus on your studies!”

“???”

“Well, it’s not that I don’t know your feelings, but… … We are students! This is the age where you should focus on your studies! “Where can we afford to waste time?”

study? My heart?

I didn’t know what he was talking about, so I just tilted my head, and then something flashed through my mind.

Come to think of it, I thought I heard this guy’s voice while talking to Valencidis earlier… … .

‘You heard the whole conversation with Valencidis.’

I remember that the topic was that he was a warlock and that I would monitor him, but I don’t remember, but did I mention that I was a warlock?

‘Or, since he’s such an intelligent guy, he roughly guessed the truth underlying that conversation. That’s amazing.’

And he even worries about me. There is no other junior who is so special. But it would be better to be clear.

“don’t worry. “I do it because I like it.”

“What, what?”

“And it’s not like I’m wasting time. “It’s very important to me.”

Christa’s face became dazed as if she had been hit, and the next moment her entire face turned bright red.

“Tae, what are you talking about with that calm look on your face? much? How does that matter! “Is there anything more important than academics?”

“is it? But that is more important to me.”

A moment of silence.

“what what what… … .”

“?”

“Mo, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that! Why, because?! Students only study! Because you have to focus! okay? I didn’t hear you! Last time and this time too!”

Then he suddenly ran away, so Lane didn’t even have time to tilt his head.

“Why is it like that?”

* * *

Perhaps because of the moisture from the rainy season front slowly moving north, the wind that swept through the forest and wrapped around my skin felt strangely sticky.

There was silence in the forest. The thing that was slowly breaking the silence that should have been peaceful was the swarm of flies infesting the corpse.

Flies were buzzing wildly and maggots were crawling around the corpses scattered all over the place.

“It is said that when the forest keeper found it, its limbs had already been cut off by wild animals.”

Vice Minister of Public Administration said carefully.

Doran Slade, head of the Special Operations Division, squatted quietly and lifted the pocket watch that was stuck in the mud.

A badge given only to special departments, Doran, the manager, always hung this watch directly around the necks of his subordinates.

“It was a mistake in personnel selection.”

I should have sent them there and kept an eye on Raine Ludwig.

The warlock who attacked old man Raine on the western border was strong, but he was no match for Tyrinthid and Runen… … .

The veins in Doran’s knuckles bulged fiercely as he tightly clutched his pocket watch.

Madelia Page, the lord of the city who accompanied the administrative vice minister’s report, narrowed her eyes.

“It seems like it wasn’t an easy feat to defeat two magicians from the Special Operations Division by yourself. “I owe you a debt to the special affairs department during this final exam.”

“Could he have taken it down alone?”

“hmm?”

Doran stood up and looked around, putting the lost pocket watches in his arms.

As if a huge typhoon had swept over the area, the ground was deeply dug up and deciduous forests were indiscriminately toppled or burned.

The only thing that can destroy Mother Nature so severely is a natural disaster or magical power… … In other words, powerful magic collided here.

“No matter how you look at it, it looks like the three people died together during a magic battle. “What you need to be suspicious of here is the first line, ‘No matter how you look at it.’”

“… … ?”

“Isn’t it so strange? It seems like the scene is saying this. “Do not doubt at all, these three men fought and died here.”

Madelia and the Vice Minister for Administration could not help but tilt their heads because they did not understand what Doran was saying. They are not experts in this field.

“The habit of speaking in a difficult manner has not changed since then. “Doesn’t that mean the circumstances are certain?”

“To put it simply, it is rare to find a scene where all the circumstantial evidence 100% points to only one situation. It’s awkward. “I think the Vice Minister for Administration knows.”

“that… … Hmm, is that so? “I don’t know either.”

“Normally, several possibilities are raised, and we choose the more likely one to find the culprit, but this is strange no matter how we look at it.”

Doran’s eyes, which were always closed amidst a smile, drew an arc, and the exposed pupils gave off an eerie glow.

“There was definitely someone else here. “Someone wants to make me believe that my men were destroyed while fighting a warlock.”

Gertrude Panton’s daily routine begins at 06:00 in the morning. After getting ready for school, I head to Christa’s dorm and help her prepare breakfast.

In , powerful families were, in principle, prohibited from sending bodyguards or servants, so even the children of powerful families had to take care of themselves.

However, if a person like Gertrude, who was a servant, passed the regular exam and came in, the story was different. The school did nothing to stop it… … .

“Even if she had acted a little selfishly in the senior cadet, she would have been the top cadet, so it’s really unfortunate.”

“… … .”

“Hehe, is it true that women are reeds in front of love?”

I was teasing the young lady about Lane as usual, but something was strange.

Even before going to school, he would just stare out the window in the distance or his movements would be slow, but now he doesn’t even react when I tease him with Reign.

Then, out of the blue, he muttered as if he was talking to himself.

“Is it possible to focus on studies while doing something like dating?”

It’s literally a blast from the blue sky!

Gertrude’s mouth opened in shock.

“Well, what do you mean by that?”

“No, I’m just curious.”

“Surely something happened with Prince Lane?”

As soon as that name was said, Christa’s face became hotter than the morning sun.

“W-what are you talking about?! “Nothing happened, nothing happened~!”

What on earth is this honest reaction… … ?

What a disaster.

I’m sure that lecherous guy must have had his hands on the young lady while I was away.

“It’s just like that in all novels! Since I was doing well in school and dating, I wondered if this was possible in real life, so I asked. Ahaha.”

As Christa whistled and mocked me, it felt like the sky was falling.

Gertrude was not in a position to particularly support the relationship between Lane and Christa. To be precise, the opposite is true.

The reason I tried to tie the two together somehow was because the young lady’s reaction was cute and funny, not because I supported it… … .

“Miss, what do you think of Prince Ludwig?”

I need to take a good look at it.

Since Christa is being dishonest, it would be most effective to just ask her directly.

“What do you think? Rice, not really? “I have no idea?”

“It seems like you have a lot on your mind.”

“I told you there wasn’t one, man!”

Oh, what a cold response.

As expected, there is nothing to worry about.

“Well, that’s right. “The pure and noble lady and Confucius, who has a personality that spreads his hands out of control when it comes to women, are not suitable at all.”

I looked at the sight with a sigh of relief, but Christa’s reaction was strange. Busily twisting her bangs with her fingers, she slightly averts her gaze as if she is embarrassed.

“Well… … That’s right. “He’s not as bad as his nickname suggests.”

?

“You must have thought about it all. Does that guy have his own beliefs? It seems like there is something similar… … .”

I’m sorry, miss… … ?

I’m just about to completely pass over… … ?!

’emergency! emergency! This is a super emergency situation, Gertrude Panton!!!’

We have to come up with a solution. There needs to be a plan to somehow prevent their relationship from progressing any further.

‘That is the responsibility given to me, Gertrude, the heir of the Panton family who serves the Warden family!!!’

As Gertrude headed to class, she had to hold her head in both hands and spin her brain at super speed.

The classroom was cluttered from the entrance to Yongmyeonggwan, the first-year undergraduate building.

With all the exams for the first semester completed and the seasonal festival approaching in a month, a sense of excitement began to swirl around the school.

But Cassena Page’s mind was not at peace. Could it be said that she is becoming more and more uncomfortable?

“Hey, let’s go to the student council. “There’s a morning meeting.”

“Oh, I understand… … !”

“Do you understand? “What kind of play are you practicing?”

These days, we’ve been hanging out together for student council work, and the atmosphere between the obnoxious girl and Lane is a bit strange.

Actually, I don’t even care what kind of girl Lane hangs out with or not, but I really don’t… … !

Still, as a friend, I should warn her that if she trusts such an obnoxious villainess, she will be very angry later.

‘But even if you try to drop it, there’s no way.’

Before, he insisted that he go with him, but Lane shook his head firmly.

– Only student council officers can go to the student council, so why do you want to go?

Can’t answer.

As soon as I got home, I begged Madelia to let me join the student council, but the answer was that no matter what I did, it was impossible.

– The student council boasts a long-standing tradition. Because only junior and senior cadets can join, its shine has not faded.

– … … .

– Kasena, I really want to grant you everything you want, but if I do this on my own, only bad things will happen to you.

Off… … .

After struggling with my thoughts, I looked at Lane’s empty seat, and strangely enough, I saw Christa’s subordinate Ki Ji-bae chewing his nails with the same expression on his face.

“Stop talking and pay attention to me, you idiots who are worth less than dwarf shit!”

At seasonal festivals, it was traditional for not only clubs but also each class to decide on a theme and present it to other cadets and festival guests.

That’s why Professor Owen has been standing in front of the lecture table since morning with a shit-chewing expression on his face.

“From now on, I’ll be looking for two guys who will work like shit slaves for the class but perform duties that no one will recognize! “Raise your hand quickly.”

Owen scolded, and with his fingers covered in veins and muscles, he wrote the name of his position in chalk on the blackboard.

[Promotion Committee Member]

Moderator? What is that?

The other cadets must have had the same expression as Kasena, so Owen sighed regretfully and explained.

“The student council, who are worse than pig dung, whine every time there is too much work during the festival, so has a tradition of sending out two slaves from each class during the festival.”

“???”

“That is one of the long-standing evils of that has been passed down to this era under the name of this moderator.”

Then, a cadet muttered, “Wow, that’s a cool name,” and Owen’s eyes widened.

“You idiot, it may look nice, but in the end it’s just shackles! “You become a slave to those arrogant bastards in the student council!”

“!!!”

“Are you coming to your senses now? “Isn’t there an ignorant monkey out there who knows all this but still wants to sacrifice himself for the class?”

Of course there was no one.

No, I’m telling you to do it or not… … .

Owen smiled sinisterly, as if he liked the look on the cadets’ faces.

“Okay then! “From now on, we will start the truth game.”

But then Cassena’s eyes lit up.

Are you active with the student council?

So, you can interfere with student council activities even if you are not a student council officer, right?

“Please write down the name of the cadet you don’t like and submit it. “The two guys with the most names—”

At that time, there was someone who interrupted Owen and raised his hand and raised his voice. There were two of them, almost simultaneously.

“—Me! “I want to do it!”

“—I will do it!”

Owen and the other cadets looked at the source of the voice as if they were dumbfounded… … The parties were looking at each other with even more absurd expressions.

“Page… … miss?”

“That fox guy… … “Are you a friend?”

Gertrude Panton and Cassena Page.

It was the moment when two people with the same mission became moderators of the [Cheonggang] class.

Of course, it turns out that it was a meaningless choice at the student council meeting after school that day… … .
