All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 145

145. Episode 145

73. No, I’m Not – 1

Ian entered the room and immediately used Spirit World Connection.

Then, he stared intently at the two spirits he had summoned.

Wince.

The two highest-grade spirits avoided Ian’s gaze.

“Do you know how serious it is to spread false information?”

“C, calm down first. Don’t get excited.”

“Yeah. Yeah. Nothing is worse for your body than getting excited.”

Ailfettin and Norn spoke desperately.

Norn, worried that Ian might draw his sword at any moment, said,

“I can explain everything.”

“Go ahead.”

“Anyway, since we were summoned by a human, we said it was a contract.”

Ian nodded, his grip tightening on his sword.

Ailfettin was taken aback when he saw that.

“Wait a minute!! But it wouldn’t be bad to contract with us, would it?! We can do a lot of things!”

“I can do all those things myself.”

“Don’t say that. The contract terms are good, okay?”

“Is there anything you want?”

At their question, Ian paused, considering. “Do you know anything about the demons in this world, or in hell, that only *you* know?”

They shook their heads.

They had been living in the Spirit World without contracting with anyone yet.

As such, there was no way for them to know what was happening in this world. The best they could do was gather information from spirits who had contracted with spirit masters.

In the first place, what business would spirit masters have with demons other than when fighting them?

By the time the spirits found out anything, either the spirit masters would be catching demons, or rumors would spread because they were losing.

As they explained, Ian reached out and grabbed them.

“Ah! I told you not to get excited!”

“There’s a lot more we can do than that!”

The two highest-grade spirits began to rattle off their abilities.

Ian, cutting them off, said indifferently, “Go back and keep spreading nonsense. I had you do some work before, so I’m going to let it slide this time…….”

And he openly released his killing intent.

“If you want to disappear like Silmarion, keep running your mouth like that.”

Ian banished them back to the Spirit World again.

As they left, Myaane, who had been sitting on the bed, came over and sat on his lap.

“Myaa~.”

-Click.

Shortly after they left, the door opened.

Grazein, who had brought a book, looked around the room and tilted his head. “Hmm? I thought I heard some voices earlier. Were you alone?”

“There were some noisy salesmen. But what’s that?”

“Ah. This.”

He handed Ian the envelope he was holding.

“I went to the library earlier and stopped by the Temple of the Moon for artifact verification, and Priest Aut asked me to give it to you. I heard the Holy Maiden of the Order of the Moon is coming here?”

At Grazein’s words, Ian looked at the contents.

It was an announcement of the commemoration of the establishment of the Temple of the Order of the Moon in the Academy, and that the Holy Maiden was visiting to celebrate the election of a new student council president.

“You like holy objects, don’t you? If it’s a Holy Maiden, she might be able to make holy objects, so why don’t you meet her?”

“That wouldn’t be bad.”

“And she won’t come empty-handed, will she? How about selling me historical artifacts as gifts?”

Once he absorbed the moon energy for Myaane, the artifacts would be meaningless.

It was better to give them away than to just leave them.

Ian nodded slightly and sat cross-legged.

As he began to meditate, Grazein also read a book, and silence filled the room.

“You must always wear this.”

Eldan hung the tag that the guard at the entrance of Fredon Academy had given her around her neck.

Gust, who also received a tag, sighed deeply. “I don’t know if I really have to go. Count Eldan, can’t you just tell Ian what I have to say?”

Eldan shook her head at Gust’s reluctance.

She put the tag given by the guard around her neck and sighed again.

“If you’re so worried, you don’t have to go to the Temple of the Sun.”

“Still, I’ve come all the way here, and if I don’t see his face, that guy Rakid will be incredibly depressed.”

“You can’t just keep avoiding it forever. It’s better to end it quickly. But who was supposed to give us a tour?”

Just then, an elf was running toward them from afar.

“Welcome, Count Eldan. I am Valentine Sardi, an instructor at Fredon Academy.”

A little excited, she bowed politely to Eldan and Gust.

“And it is a great honor to meet Lord Overlord Gust.”

There was no elf who lived by the sword who did not know Gust.

Therefore, she showed the most friendly smile, filled with admiration.

Eldan also smiled and greeted her at her enthusiastic face. “Nice to meet you. I am Count Eldan Baradis.”

“But does an instructor usually guide guests in person?”

Gust asked with a sullen look, and she immediately shook her head.

“Ah. Actually, I requested to see the Overlord in person.”

“There’s a bigger monster than me here.”

A monster bigger than the Overlord.

He was referring to Ian Brandon.

Valentine knew about him, so she nodded.

“Of course, that’s true. But the Overlord is still the object of my admiration.”

“Are you happy?”

“Ahem.”

When Eldan teased him with a smile, the Overlord coughed softly. His face felt itchy for some reason when he was faced with someone who openly said they admired him.

“First of all, I have to meet with Dean Karzid. Instructor Valentine, if you don’t mind, would you guide me there?”

The reason Eldan came all the way here was to deliver a letter of credence [a formal document proving someone’s identity and authority] from the Kingdom of Scarlet.

To do so, she must first meet with the dean, Karzid.

“The dean is already waiting for you.”

With Valentine’s guidance, the two headed to the academy’s main building.

Karzid was waiting as they entered the dean’s office on the top floor of the main building.

“The dean will meet me, so Overlord, go meet Ian. You said you had something to do, and meet Rakid too.”

“Um. I understand. Instructor Valentine, may I ask for your guidance? Is he in class right now?”

“Uh. No. He’s at the construction site right now.”

“……Where?”

Gust was greatly embarrassed by her answer.

With Valentine’s guidance, they arrived at the west side of the academy.

It was once where abandoned buildings remained.

The buildings that could not be demolished due to the concerns of other countries or institutions about the disposal process were now being demolished.

Among them, there were quite a few construction materials on the site that had been completely demolished and turned into an empty lot, and the workers were actively moving.

And.

A young boy was giving instructions to those workers like a skilled foreman.

“Don’t put that over there.”

“Yes!”

“And that side is where we’re going to store the beer, so a little more……. Okay, I’ll do it.”

The young boy strode over.

Ian stepped lightly on the ground.

At that moment, the ground was compacted and began to dig deeper.

A basement warehouse was created that was perfect for storing alcohol, and workers went inside and filled it with bricks.

“Student Ian!”

Valentine waved her hand with a bright smile, and Ian turned his head.

“You have a guest.”

“Instructor Scranda!!”

Scranda, who had been working with the other workers, came out.

He wiped away his sweat and smiled brightly as he worked to create a new furnace.

“I never thought there would be a way to accept black lava into the furnace and use it. Ian, amazing. Where did you learn this?”

“I learned it here and there.”

The furnace in the academy was too small to be used properly.

But the furnace designed by Ian was different.

It was large in scale, and the firepower it could withstand seemed to be dozens of times greater than that of the existing furnace, according to calculations.

This furnace is much better than the furnace in Dwarven City.

“Once this is made, dwarves will be dispatched from Dwarven City in large numbers starting next semester.”

“I suppose so.”

“Then we can make new equipment to be used at the academy. Instead, I would like the Dwarven City to do some research here.”

“Sure.”

“Okay. But why did you call me?”

“Please direct the work. I have a guest.”

“Ah. Is that so?”

He glanced at Valentine.

As she smiled, Scranda said in a blunt tone, “Did you come to seduce me to go to the ruins again?”

“I brought a guest?”

“Humph. All guests are just trying to take Ian away. Do you think there are only one or two of those guys?”

He said bluntly and took the blueprint Ian was holding.

As he began to give overall instructions with it, Ian went straight down.

“Did the Overlord come?”

“Yes. Did you know?”

“I could feel it.”

“Amazing, Ian. Your senses. I want to learn if I can…….”

“It won’t be easy.”

“Huhu. I know it’s not easy to learn skills.”

As she went out of the site with her, an elf in a gray cloak and hood, Gust, was waiting.

She sighed and said, “What are you doing here when you should be fighting demons?”

“Didn’t you hear? The academy is now my territory.”

So he is preparing to make various things here.

Gust shrugged and said, “I have something important to tell you.”

“Then let’s go.”

Valentine seemed to want to follow, but Gust stopped her.

As she moved away, feeling regretful, Ian took Gust to a nearby cafeteria.

As they took a seat at an empty outdoor table, she got to the point.

“The demons’ movements have become strange. I think there is an internal conflict between them…….”

“I wanted to ask you about that anyway. Do you know Crowley?”

“He is one of the great demons who has been in this world for a very long time. According to the history of the Guardians, he is also a demon who has fought against the Guardians for a long time.”

“He’s under me.”

“Um. I see.”

The waiter brings drinks and cookies.

As Myaane munched on a cookie, Gust took a sip of her drink and tilted her head.

“What did you say?”

“He’s working like a dog under me. According to him, there are old demons and new demons. He said that they, who belong to the new demons, are not interested in the destruction of the world. Is that true?”

Gust, who was silent for a long time at that, sighed deeply.

“Don’t tell me you’ve made a subordinate contract with a great demon?”

“I made a physical contract. And I don’t think you answered my question?”

“That’s right. It’s true. But all demons must be eradicated.”

When she replied bitterly,

Footsteps were heard from inside the cafeteria.

“You are still the same. But not all demons are unconditionally subject to eradication.”

Ian and Gust turned their heads slightly.

Standing there was a girl with jet-black hair and wings of jet-black fur.

Judging from the silver priest’s robe she was wearing, she seems to be a beastman from the Order of the Moon.

“Who is this?”

Gust seemed to know her.

Therefore, she spoke in a wary tone.

“Aren’t you the Holy Maiden Celestia of the Order of the Moon?”

“Huhu. Have you been well, Gust? And…….”

She walked lightly like a bird, approached Ian, and knelt on one knee in front of him.

It was the greatest courtesy that a Holy Maiden of a religious order could offer.

Ian, who received her polite greeting, replied nonchalantly.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
