I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Episode 126. Siege Technique (2)

When we got back, the fortress wasn’t much of a riot.

It is said that the soldiers climbed the sentry tower and watched the battle.

Everything from piercing through the charge formation with a flash of light to attacking the rear after breaking through.

“Waa!!!”

“Oh my ears….”

Obviously, I remember there were less than 100 people here.

As we entered the front door, we were greeted by a shout that could have been heard by thousands of large armies.

It was a response that exceeded expectations.

monumental counterattack.

Confidence that you can still hold out.

I thought it would be good to plant just that much, but the morale boosting effect was beyond my imagination.

“That fire magic! What is the name of the wizard who shot it?”

“Me? Are you talking about me? Einz von Wiegen…”

“ooah! Einz!”

“No, I didn’t listen to the end…”

“Einz! Einz! Einz!”

“Hey boy! Embarrassed!”

In particular, the enthusiasm for Einz was enormous.

Apparently, the magic that cut through the earth and evaporated the cavalry in an instant seemed great.

The soldiers were dragging Einz, who had lost strength due to exhaustion of magical power, and were rinsing it out.

“Einz! Einz! Einz!”

“Uh-huh! Yeah! That’s my name!”

He didn’t seem really happy.

Until just before the sortie, he was the one who said he couldn’t kill people.

He must have overcome the trauma to some extent with this.

Now all that’s left is Erica.

“············”.

When I looked up, I saw a silver-haired head twitching above the sentry tower.

He doesn’t need to get used to killing.

“Don’t make too much noise! We’ll have to sortie again soon, so let’s change our sweaty clothes!”

“Yeah!”

I got out of the hustle and bustle and headed towards the sentry tower.

As I slowly climbed the ladder, I found Erica sitting on it and nodding her head.

I thought you were sleeping.

“Ah… are you here?”

“Yeah. Back.”

“I saw it. It was amazing. Against an enemy with a difference of several dozen times.”

Surprisingly, he was still awake.

Looking at the condition of the eyes, it looks like it’s close.

“Did you keep writing?”

“yes······.”

I went and sat next to him.

Then, he concentrated on the flow of mana and focused on the 4th star’s craft.

‘Wow······.’

Admiration came out of nowhere.

No matter how small you are, you must be surprised to see that.

Dozens of rites that could be said to be large were interlocked and interlocked to form one dizzying rite.

It’s just that size.

The shape was also designed to minimize the flow of magic, so it was woven in a direction that was the fastest and consumed less magic.

If you were to design a formula that produces an effect like this, everyone would require more than 500,000 mana.

But Erica did this with only 200,000 magical powers.

It was an unbelievable sophistication for an undergraduate first-year level.

“Why don’t you close your eyes and continue?”

“No. You don’t have to finish it as early as possible.”

“There’s still plenty of time. No, it’s better to be later than planned.”

“···········?”

You have to give them time to evacuate.

However, the strange thing was that there was not much movement of the 4th star.

No matter how poor the wizard’s power over there was, he would have recognized the identity of the magician right away with such a gigantic magic trick, right?

Was it possible that they executed all the captured wizards and mercenaries?

No, but if you’re a bureaucrat who graduated from college, you should be able to figure this out quickly.

‘Are you sure you won’t evacuate?’

All of a sudden, my whole body went numb.

It’s a psychopath-like idea to put such a trick on a castle where people live, but knowing that and letting it go…

Duke Lorraine. I may have become more cruel than I imagined while writing this.

There was a setting that I would use any number of moves if I was pushed to the defensive, but it must have been this much.

“Still, you never know what’s going to happen. You may need to advance the schedule. So it’s better to finish it as soon as possible.”

“If you continue to work in this state, you may have an accident. Do you believe that you can maintain your highest concentration even before you fall asleep?”

“Uhhhh. schlust, you won. I’ll take a break.”

sucks.

Erica leaned next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

I was startled by the sudden physical contact and tried to remove my head…

“Ttt….”

Erica was already asleep.

As soon as I started talking, I felt like I was still working to the limit.

If you poke the ball like this, there is no reaction.

“Hey, this guy.”

“Uh-huh…”

I even tried pulling the ball.

Even then, he groaned and never woke up.

You must have been tired, but should I stop bothering you now and let you sleep?

“If you just keep your mouth shut, you’re pretty.”

If you look at him sleeping like this, there is no other angel.

I mean, this guy has been misunderstanding what I’ve signed with the devil or what.

“Puffy….”

Thinking about it, I laughed again.

stupid guy

At least I thought that I would be misunderstood about myself, but I didn’t know that I would make such a big mistake.

It will be a long time later for this guy to dispel the illusion about the Hurt Locker in the original story.

That was a little bit earlier.

In the first place, the target was not Hurt Locker, but me, so it would be difficult to make a direct comparison.

‘I wonder if the illusion still remains.’

will remain of course.

Erika must still be a little reluctant to me.

That’ll be it…

“uh?”

At that moment, I thought of a certain setting in the original, and looked around in surprise.

Erika, who was still sleeping, leaning on my shoulder, was there.

Obviously, Erica wouldn’t be able to sleep in front of other people unless it was someone who gave her permission.

And it was outdoors.

In a place like this, a young girl from a powerful family sleeps only when there is a person who believes in her family or more by her side…

“no way.”

How could you already trust me like that?

He must have slept so much that he didn’t even have time to worry about it.

I shook my head, dismissing the possibility.

By the way, it looked quite uncomfortable for Erica to sit and sleep.

I let Erica lie down with her feet stretched out and her head cut on my leg.

This made my breathing sound a little more stable.

“ooah! Einz-sama! Show me that magic again!”

“That’s tomorrow! I’ll show you tomorrow!”

“Wow!”

“Didn’t you hear from the commander-in-chief? Just give in and wait! It’s not too late to hold the festival after entering the 4th castle, you guys!”

“Yep! General… Deputy Commander!”

But it’s terribly noisy.

I thought I’d close my eyes too, but I couldn’t sleep.

***

“Thank you very much, Saint! Thank you so much! I lived thanks to you!”

“Whoops. No.”

Soo-in bows to greet each other.

Letting him go, Iris smiled hard.

After that, the ward was now empty.

Suin was the last patient.

After undergoing treatment for over 24 hours and using recovery magic, Iris was now nearly exhausted from her magical powers.

“Ugh… my back hurts.”

I wish someone could give me a back massage.

Shall we go jojo right now?

Then how will you react?

Are you trying to tell me not to play with my cheeks blushing?

The moment I thought of something like that and laughed bitterly-

“ah.”

Iris remembered the fact that this was the 4th Star.

The man was not here.

As soon as I thought of that, I suddenly felt exhausted.

Does the effect of magical exhaustion appear only now?

okay. Obviously it would be.

“Ah. You don’t want to come quickly.”

“············”.

I said it out loud on purpose, but Schlus did not open the door and come in.

If it was Schlus, it would be possible to use camouflage magic or something like that to penetrate the castle alone.

But there was no reason for that.

There was absolutely no reason to waste my magic just to come to see me.

“Uhhhh….”

This was not the time to think like this.

Iris walked out of the ward, moving her trembling legs to and fro.

There must still be many people to be treated.

All the people who came today are people who can walk up to here.

There are certainly more patients with mobility impairments.

There is still much work to be done.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, I found a mercenary soldier hurriedly crossing the city.

As he was sweating profusely and carrying a scroll, he looked like a messenger.

“excuse me!”

“Who is… Ah! Saint! Thank you for your hard work!”

“No. Do you have any urgent business?”

“Oh, nothing!”

“Then, by any chance, that banquet above your head. Have you ever found out what that is?”

“Ah! Ah! You mean that? They say it’s just for testing! It’s safe, so don’t worry!”

“············”.

He turned around, sweating, and then turned his back and ran away.

Iris’s expression hardened as she watched her back.

By now, an evacuation order should be issued.

The 4th castle was peaceful, but too peaceful.

In the meantime, the back door was repeatedly opened and closed several times…

Apparently, they were leaving the villagers alone and pulling out the army.

‘The Duke of Lorraine… is crazy.’

Even me, as a saint, didn’t have a clue.

That was obvious.

If the saint was burned to death by that ritual, Lorraine would use it to define the suppression forces as the axis of evil.

It was so dirty and disgusting that Iris felt like she was going to vomit at any moment.

Of course, the man who created such a situation is not too evil…

‘Communication magic.’

Iris took a look around and performed the magic trick.

It was a communication sent to the fortress of the suppression force.

‘No evacuation order. Only the army is leaving. The only thing left now is the minimum number of guards.’
