I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

191. A Less Complicated Story

“Hasn’t the Imperial Palace contacted you yet!”

“Yes! His Majesty does not give me an audience at all!”

“Keuuu…”

Roman raised his head and clicked his tongue.

The airship of the 1st Division was floating over there.

An airship that took off without permission to take off, and now completely ignores communications.

When I asked the 1st Division why they allowed it to take off on its own, the 1st Division explained that it had no choice because the commander of the division boarded the ship and took direct command.

Then there were only two possibilities.

The commander of the 1st Division is senile and is trying to kill Schluss Heinkel on his own.

If not, I am on a secret mission under the direction of the emperor…

I sent a knight to the imperial palace to ask about this, but the emperor didn’t answer me whether he was deliberately not listening or not.

Kooung······!

At that time, a gust of wind flew in at a fierce speed and hit the barrier of the airship.

It was Schluss Heinkel’s last outburst.

Within a moment, Roman, who was worried about closing his eyes tightly, made a decision.

He had to shoot down the airship.

Didn’t he lead the anti-aircraft unit himself, assuming that he would be shot down in the first place?

“Destroyers, fired!”

“What?!”

Then I saw a flash of light coming down with a pop.

It was actually a shell, not a flash, but it seemed so because of its speed as fast as the light.

The shell that was supposed to hit and devour the residential area-

Twoong······!

From noble mtl dot com.

“Huh huh?”

With a clear sound, the trajectory changed and it soared upward again.

The shell hissed and flew again in a parabolic arc, then hit the plain and exploded.

Roman’s eyes froze as he couldn’t figure out what had happened for a moment.

“People… Deflect annihilators…?”

Not a demon, but a human?

No, it was originally developed to kill demons.

Even if it’s a Mine, you won’t be able to bounce it off.

It was the moment Roman continued to bruise.

“Commander! The airship is loading the second round!”

“Shoot it down.”

“Didn’t I hear you?”

“I’ll double check. I’ll give you an order in the name of Roman von Byrne, commander of the 3rd Corps. Shoot down the airship.”

“Confirmed!”

Since the official order came down, there was no time to hesitate.

The magicians of the Anti-Army Unit hurriedly checked the artifacts and developed magic formulas.

In an instant, dozens of gun barrels lined up in the sky.

“Japanese Imperialism!”

With the direction of the bombardment commander, the spells fired all at once.

Along with him, explosive artifacts containing magic stones were shot and soared into the sky.

The first two explosion artifacts that arrived broke the barrier, and the explosion artifacts that flew right after that landed on the airship, causing a huge explosion.

There was no need for a second shot.

The airship was already crashing, burning all the fuel inside.

Kwaaang!

The airship immediately hit the ground causing a huge explosion.

It was a fairly artificial explosion.

If it crashed at a low speed, the hull should not have any major damage.

It was as if someone had ‘accidentally’ detonated the detonator.

Roman was speechless for a moment and saluted in the direction of the explosion.

“Call the imperial guards and the 1st corps commander. I’ll leave the handling of the field to them. Just in case, you guys should wait here.”

“Yes!”

Things have become bigger than I imagined.

After fixing his military uniform, Roman headed for the residential area of Jedo, accompanied only by his lieutenant.

This was the location the annihilation cannon was originally aiming at.

“You’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“You look safe, young knight.”

“Thanks.”

There was Schluse, leaning against the wall, exhausted.

He walked slowly in front of him and only smiled.

He thought he was a tough guy, but he didn’t know he could survive this.

In fact, isn’t it like the goddess of fate drove her to death?

I didn’t expect to deflect the weapon that was supposed to deal with Mine, so Roman kept laughing nonsense.

I wondered if the emperor would have a similar reaction by now.

“With this, I paid off my debt.”

On the Day of Magic, I owed my life to the threat of terrorism.

In exchange, Schluss Heinkel asked for help in whatever way he could mobilize in the event of a ‘crisis’.

I just paid the price.

There was no debt anymore.

Roman thought so and handed over to Schluse.

Schlus took that hand and stood up with a loud groan.

“Oh yeah… Didn’t you say it was OK to help as long as it didn’t violate the military law?”

“It is true that the military law was violated, but it will be an extenuating factor. Since the annihilation cannon was launched toward the center of the island, isn’t it the duty of a soldier to stop it?”

Schluss nodded his head quietly and thought that what he said was indeed true.

The problem was Roman’s situation.

The generals who were impatient because they couldn’t bite it will use this incident as an opportunity to accuse Roman of being a traitor.

But Roman would endure it, and Schluss had no doubts.

He was the one who overcame all kinds of slander from the yellow media even in the original work.

“Can you handle it?”

“We should handle it together. Isn’t it like we’re already on the same boat?”

“Are you even dragging me in…”

“You dragged me in.”

“·······.”

Schlus was at a loss for words.

He was entirely responsible for the situation.

It was no coincidence that the commander of the 1st Division moved alone, that the airship was loaded with ammunition without any plans for training, and that the emperor refused to have an audience at all at that timing.

There was no material evidence, but everyone knew.

That the emperor ordered the 1st division commander to kill Schluss Heinkel.

Roman was only involved in rescuing Schluse, who was in danger.

“Can I expect to be bailed out if your political stance improves a bit?”

“Do you want to hang on to your debt again?”

“hahahahaha. Debt again. From now on, I want to give and receive help without cost.”

Roman’s mischievous laugh.

Hidden in it, Roman has been making a terrifying proposal.

What Roman has been proposing is nothing other than mutual cooperation.

A cooperative relationship between a general rejected by all generals in the imperial army and a knight whose life is sought by the emperor.

Schlus stared at Roman’s right hand, which was once again extended, and grabbed it.

“Okay. I’ll promote you to Marshal if things get better.”

“hahahaha. That was a witty joke.”

“·······.”

“Are you kidding…?”

As he waved his hand with Schluse, who did not respond, Roman even felt a sense of dread.

If it had been said by someone else, I would have just laughed it off.

But since it was the man who had just deflected the annihilator, it was by no means a joke.

“By the way, how about the shells-“

“I think we should end here.”

That’s when Schluss turned around.

In an instant, the sound of footsteps could be heard and the imperial police rushed in.

“3 Corps Commander!”

“I didn’t know that the Lieutenant General came in person. May I ask how the situation of the Imperial Army is going?”

“Heh heh.”

In an instant, surrounded by crowds, Roman laughed dejectedly.

At some point, Schluss had completely disappeared.

I lived hearing that Roman was an unexpected person.

It was the first time that even he was unpredictable.

In a way, it seemed that Schluss was trying to turn his back on everything in the world and make him an enemy, and he showed a glimpse of a tyrant trying to keep everything under his control.

However, wherever Schluss walked, Roman would be walking along there.

The two of them have already boarded the same boat.

If we live, we live together; if we die, we die together.

***

“Louise! Robin!”

“Sister!”

“My older sister…!”

The two little kids who let go of my hand rushed forward.

Erwin ran out with tears in his eyes, knelt down on her knees, and held the two children tightly in his arms.

She was happy to watch it, then suddenly looked over and saw Emilia with a worried look in her eyes.

“You guys stay in this mansion for a while. The house has been destroyed, so there’s nothing we can do until we find a new one.”

“What, what?! Our house was destroyed?”

“I’ll talk for a while, so I can have a reunion with my younger siblings.”

“·······.”

I gestured for Emilia to come out and came out of the mansion.

There are so many things to say.

There are many, many, many, and even now I was trying to pick out the words where to start.

But I decided to give up soon.

Because I thought it would be better to convey my sincerity to Emilia than to speak in an orderly manner.

After closing her front door, Emilia joined me with her head down.

We walked around the garden for a while.

When I tried to spread the cognitive suppression system around, but it kept failing due to lack of magical power, Emilia spread it instead.

“Oh, brother… No, what about the Heart Locker…?”

“You don’t have to worry. It’s okay.”

“·······.”

“Really. Not even a minor injury.”

“That’s right…”

Eric decided not to tell about the death.

Because it’s not me to convey that, it’s the Hurt Locker’s role.

“Emilia.”

“Higup······.”

As soon as I stopped, Emilia let out a hiccup.

She seemed to be trying to hold her mouth shut, but it seemed difficult.

“Coming to think of it, I think I didn’t explain too much. About the need for your intelligence agency’s power, I wasn’t joking or just saying it. I mean it. I may look crazy, but I mean it. It’s politically unstable now, but someday The Empire will form an official alliance with the Kingdom, but it is only to bring it forward a little.”

“I don’t understand at all…”

“Then let me tell you a little more easily. Emilia, we humans will soon enter into a war against the demons. They are opponents that we can win even if we all work together, regardless of race or nation.”

“Let’s go, wait a minute! Mine?!”

“Yes. It’s not just Asylum that worships demons as gods. It’s not just Asylum that worships demons. Soon, demons will fall for the fanatics’ tricks and start turning their backs on humans one by one.”

It was still questionable how many would turn around.

In the original work, Alexia and Tilpitz were attacked by the same demons while maintaining neutrality until the end.

However, in this world, it was never strange to betray a human.

“Do you understand?”

“I, I understand… But my head is too complicated…”

“Then let’s talk about something less complex.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s get married.”

“·······.”

Emilia’s eyes widened.
