130. Nice to meet you (2)

The route to infiltrate Elfante was much simpler than expected.

It ends with joining a group of transfer students who join midway outside of the regular semester.

Unlike general educational institutions, the Imperial Academy always accepts students as much as its enormous size. going to use that

Of course, she takes security procedures as surely as those characteristics, but she is the one who can even create a fake identity that can infiltrate part of the imperial palace if she puts her mind to it in the first place. This is child’s play.

‘…It’s absurdly easy.’

Inside the cabin of the train entering Elfante, Seras let out a deep sigh as he recalled that thought.

In the first place, there was no need to create a fake student identity. Just take care of the day trip and return to the Holy Land, and that’s it.

– Maenglord. You’ll need a fake ID, though. I’ll finish it in one day.

Even if Vizsla hadn’t insisted so strongly in the first place, he would have done so right away.

The conversation we had yesterday passed through Seras’ mind.

– Why are you a student? Are you doubting my skills?

-no. He knows the master’s skills better than anyone else.

-Then do you need to do such troublesome work with work that will be finished tomorrow?

I remember that Vizsla, who heard that, was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly.

-…just in case you didn’t know. Please think of it as taking care of the elderly.

say so, but

It seemed that something absolutely necessary would happen.

As if she would never be able to deal with him once and for all.

So, as if he was sure that he would be able to stay at the academy for a long time.

‘…When I return, I’ll bother you a bit, Vizsla.’

At least I have to make her pay the price for not trusting her. As long as you’ve already come this far, the mission is no different than a success.

No matter how you look at it, the Imperials don’t do anything right.

Especially when it comes to the ‘Imperial Palace’.

With a cold smile, she glared at the imperial family’s seal engraved on the fluttering flags lined up on the road leading to Elfante.

garbage.

It was the only assessment she could give to that side.

How deeply I suffered because of them until I met the emperor and started a new life.

The night when the whole world was dyed ‘red’.

What the imperial family did to her on that day is still vivid in her mind.

‘…It’s not long, Seras.’

She repeated that to herself, calming her heart that was beating with hatred.

‘Now, soon.’

Because the coming of the savior who will eradicate those trash and bring peace to the entire continent is not far away.

It is truly a true belief.

On the rotten earth, the only human being who can bring equality and happiness does not exist other than the Emperor.

‘Paradise will come to earth.’

The Emperor’s ‘plan’ will soon enter its final phase.

So now, according to the order of the emperor, the priority is to remove that obstacle first.

To do that, as always, you have to start with ‘work preparation’.

“ha-“

I closed my eyes and, with a deep sigh, slowly rotated the mana from the dantian. Consciousness subsides.

Fundamentally, an assassin’s combat method prioritizes the one-hit kill without thinking about retreat or follow-up.

And the root of such a combat method starts with the task of erasing ’emotions’ so as not to be shaken by anything.

Meditation to build a barrier in one’s mind so that one does not feel any sympathy or mercy for the ‘work object’.

If she goes through this, her deadly attacks will have machine-like precision and terrifying concentration.

how long has it been like that

[It stops. Stop. All students, please take a seat and wait.]

With those words, the train slowly entered the stop.

Inside the slowly stopped train, Seras reconfirmed the location of the memory he had kept in his arms.

[Welcome to Elfante.]

With such a broadcast, it blends into the crowd pouring into the bus stop.

The number of people is ridiculous, befitting the continent’s largest educational facility.

“…”

But even in between.

Thanks to the sharpened senses, the target could be found in an instant.

A man getting off the train with a blank expression.

Dowd Campbell.

It completely matches the impression that was notified in advance.

“…”

Seras let out a deep breath and soon began to move among the people who had no space to step on.

stepping on the shadows.

Even among such a large crowd, they move smoothly as if they were cutting through the water with precise steps.

It was a basic step for an assassin to move around so as not to be noticed while blending in with the crowd, but the level she was performing now was almost miraculous.

While this amount of people are moving in one direction, they are moving to another place alone, but there is not even a human who properly ‘recognizes’ her.

like a ghost As if she was alone floating in this space.

It was because he was confident that he chose a place that would never have been chosen by an assassin.

Even if the sun is up in the middle of the sky, even if there is a target in the middle of the square, no one can kill it without being noticed. That’s Grand Assassin.

so.

It is surprising that the man looks around with a bewildered expression.

It was as if he had noticed that someone was targeting him.

“…!”

next.

Dowd Campbell, who seemed to have sensed something, looked around nervously. It’s an amazing sense of crisis.

but. It’s already late. It is within range.

Seras put his hand into his bosom.

repair the blade All you need is a very fleeting moment.

And, the moment you want to strike.

The target’s face caught Seras’ eyes.

“…”

And, at that moment.

The blade stops.

It happened before she was even fully conscious.

‘…?’

Seras blankly looked at his hand.

‘…why?’

I can not understand it.

there’s no reason to stop

like.

It is a feeling that the ‘body’ instinctively rejects before the mind recognizes it.

Never, never try to harm this man.

sure to regret

And, after that.

“…!”

Seras’ eyes widened.

Because I felt a fierce sensation rising from the bottom of my consciousness.

I feel more sensitive because I erased all other emotions.

In her consciousness, which was like a quiet sleep, there are ’emotions’ that spread like a drop of paint.

Even though he had poured a lot of mana and left nothing but ‘reason’.

From nob le mt l. co m

Grand Assassin.

When it comes to keeping one’s own mind sharp, human consciousness that can be proud of being second to none on the continent.

In an instant, it is dyed pure white.

Just by looking at the face of the man in front of you.

I feel a ‘beat’ in my heart that I can’t suppress.

“…uh?”

Such words came out through upbringing.

It was a word that I spilled without knowing what I had to do.

“…”

And, because of that.

Doud Campbell turned his head in her direction.

“…uh, uh…”

And, as soon as our eyes met.

Seras, who dyed his entire face red, took a step backwards involuntarily.

My whole body trembles. Heat rushes to the face. My heart beats like crazy.

All I did was make eye contact with that man.

I want to run away from this place right now. I just can’t keep seeing you face to face.

The beating from his heart was now so loud that he couldn’t handle it.

“…!”

And, Seras, unable to confirm the protruding stone beak, stepped on it and fell.

He even lost the dagger he was holding in his hand.

That’s something even an amateur wouldn’t do.

A mistake so rudimentary that it is hard to believe that only two people in the world made it.

Then, at the sound of the dagger hitting the floor, the people around her all turned to her side.

“…weapon?”

“what? Wasn’t bringing personal weapons prohibited?”

“It looks like you lost it while holding it in your hand?”

“…why are you holding that? Who were you trying to stab? That person over there?”

“Uh, what is it? really? You tried to kill me?”

It sounds so muffled. It does not end there, and even the attention of humans who noticed that something happened around them is drawn at once.

What stands out in a place like this is that it is almost a death sentence for an assassin.

“…”

It’s a crisis.

In this situation, it is best to make a quick escape, but doing so may leave evidence of an assassination attempt on Dowd Campbell.

And, leaving such a ‘tracking clue’ is also a situation she absolutely cannot tolerate.

dilemma. Seras bit his lip until blood came out.

but.

Help came from an unexpected place.

“Are you okay?”

These were the words of Dowd Campbell, who had come close to her and held out his hand.

“…”

With her eyes wide open, Daoud leaned over, grabbed her hand, and raised herself up.

Due to the slight difference in height, I was sucked into it as if I was being held in its arms.

“…this- hee-!”

Seras, whose cheek touched his chest, let out a shrill scream in a voice he had never heard before in his life.

It was hard and solid. It even makes me want to bury my nose and feel the touch for a long time.

Due to his job, he had a well-trained body, but he hacked while feeling the ‘hand taste’ countless times.

The slightest bump on this man makes his whole body tremble.

“Are there any injuries?”

Dowd, who was brushing off the dust from her restless body, said those words in a nonchalant voice.

“Oh, no, no…”

It’s a voice like crawling into a rat hole.

It was a voice so uncontrollable that even Seras himself, who gave it a voice, was startled.

“Sorry for bumping into you. Even your belongings are gone.”

After saying that, Daoud picked up the dagger that had fallen on the floor and held it out to her.

“Still, bringing personal weapons is prohibited, so you will have to return them when you enter the academy.”

“…”

“I know that some of the samurai’s children always carry weapons, but it’s a school rule.”

Seras realized this man’s intentions in an instant.

Now, this situation is just evasive, saying that I spilled ‘personal items’ because I bumped into myself.

In fact, as soon as those words are spoken, I feel the crowd gathered around me rapidly lose interest.

Everyone seems to be distracted, saying that they paid attention to trivial matters.

“Then I go. See you in the academy.”

next. Daoud smiled and turned around.

“It was nice to meet you. See you again.”

It was a smile so full of destructive power that Seras stiffened his entire body in an instant.

“…”

She shuddered and stiffened in place.

My heart was almost beating fast because of that smile. My whole body was emitting terrifying heat as if it were a furnace. I can’t control the trembling.

But, even in that state, I don’t understand the point.

‘…they covered me.’

why? why?

That man knew that someone was targeting him.

In fact, as soon as Seras lost concentration and revealed his presence, he glared at her with a sharp gaze.

If you’re not an idiot, it’s only natural that you realize that she’s trying to hurt him.

“…”

Seras looked at the man walking away from her with a complicated gaze.

First of all, one thing is certain.

It was good to listen to Vizsla.

“…”

Even when her face was all red, she fiddled with her student ID in her arms.

really.

Maybe, because it felt like the length of time I would stay at this academy would be longer.

For several reasons, it was.

‘…It was nice to meet you.’

Seras muttered those words to himself.

I said so.

It was nice to meet you. see you again

“…”

Undoubtedly.

Strangely enough, it was a word that stuck in my heart.

“…chew.”

As soon as Seras disappears from sight, he gasps and gasps.

No, why is he popping out of here all of a sudden?

If the timing is right now, he’s going to stick to Beopwang and quietly do whatever he tells him to do. It’s ridiculously high-quality manpower to be put in to catch me in the first place!

‘…If I hadn’t covered it up, what would have happened…!’

I break out in a cold sweat and think of that.

as I said last time.

According to the scenario, he is definitely a vessel holding the pieces of the ‘purple devil’.

If you get stuck, you never know what will happen.

“…”

please.

I am a person who sleeps praying every day that it would be nice if there were no variables in my plans.

Then why don’t you just listen to it once?

I am also a person. I like to go comfortably.
