All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 146

146. No, I’m Not – 2

“Excuse me?”

“I’m not a saint or anything like that.”

Celestia was taken aback by Ian’s cold reply.

She looked at Gust, but she also had a nonchalant expression.

“You must be talking about the Saint of the End of the Century from the Doctrine of the Lunar Cult.”

“Yes. Um…….”

The last part of the Doctrine.

There is a story in the chapter of Revelation.

When the red moon, a harbinger of the world’s end, rises, a saint will appear.

And the great warrior who guards the moon will realize his mission and sacrifice himself to save the world, it was written.

“Demons are coming into the world. This means the end of the world is near.”

“That’s right. But the red moon hasn’t risen yet.”

“The red moon can be seen as just a metaphor. So…….”

Celestia protested to Gust, but she just pointed at Ian.

“What’s the point of telling me that……? And Ian said it himself.”

That he’s not a saint.

What can I say?

Celestia looked at him with a bewildered expression and asked cautiously.

“Are you really not?”

“I’m not.”

She lowered her head slightly with a dejected expression.

Her drooping shoulders seemed to reveal her disappointment, but Ian was cold.

“But why did you come all the way here? Don’t tell me it’s because of that saint thingy?”

“That’s also part of it…… I wanted to thank the Saint who gave a lot of help to the Lunar Cult…… Ah. There’s a service tonight. Please be sure to come then.”

After saying that in a listless tone, she bowed and left, and Gust sipped her drink.

“So? Are you really not a saint?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Fighting demons and trying to prevent the world’s destruction, you meet the conditions of a saint.”

“I’ve read the Doctrine of the Lunar Cult too. The chapter of Revelation is just a warning about corruption. In the first place, the future is not fixed.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. And let’s continue with what we were talking about. First of all, I’ve caught the Great Demon Krauley.”

“You said it was a physical contract? How?”

“I used something that was used to control very powerful beings.”

“Did you get it from the Tower?”

“Yeah. I caught him with that, so Krauley won’t be doing anything stupid.”

“Still, demons are just to be eradicated.”

Gust was firm, and Ian agreed to some extent.

“He said that there are new demons and old demons. If we talk under the premise that Krauley didn’t lie…….”

“The demons that were already in the world, the ones called new demons, don’t want destruction…… is that what you mean?”

“Yeah. But they seem to be a minority.”

“Then we should catch those old demons first.”

Gust groaned and nodded.

“Okay. We should set our direction that way. And I had something to talk about related to demons anyway.”

Gust reported the information she had gathered using the Guardian’s information network.

The incidents currently spreading across the continent.

She mentioned the incidents related to demon contractors and opened her notebook.

“One of the Guardians reported something. You know the Fredician County, right?”

“I know it.”

“There’s a village called Tokionel in its territory. It’s a place that runs a large ranch, and strange things are happening there.”

The outline of the incident was simple.

From one day on, livestock began to die one by one.

They thought it was an epidemic, but the Solar Cult confirmed that it was not.

“So, when they dissected them, they had no livers.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Exactly what I said. All the dead livestock had no wounds, but their livers were gone.”

“Hmm…….”

“There aren’t many demons that take specific organs. And if you look at the Guardian’s records, this kind of thing…….”

It is often committed by demons who follow the gluttony of the Seven Deadly Sins.

“The scale is small.”

When Ian replied nonchalantly, she shrugged.

“Rather, the scale is large. Taking out only specific parts without any wounds is not something anyone can do. And doing it without anyone knowing is even more difficult.”

“Hmm…….”

“How about going there and finding out more?”

“Then a request will come to the Solar Cult or the Academy, right?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

It is not always the case that a request is made when a problem occurs within the territory.

In particular, the Fredician County had quite a strong power as a county itself due to the sale of various items, including rock salt.

So, there was a high possibility that they would solve this on their own.

“We discovered this five days ago.”

“Is that so?”

“By now, a report would have been made to the Fredician County. It will probably be decided in 2-3 days.”

Whether to request support from the Academy or the Solar Cult.

Or try to solve it on their own.

“So, I’m thinking of going there first. What about you?”

If it is related to the Seven Deadly Sins, Gust alone will have a hard time.

She had to gather strong people from among the Guardians.

Ian was the most outstanding among those strong people, so she came directly to ask him for help.

“If it’s the Fredician County, it’s also the Wildine family. So, I can’t just ignore it…… It would be better to talk to them.”

“Take care of that part yourself.”

From Gust’s point of view, she just needed Ian’s support.

She got up from her seat as soon as she was done talking.

“Then I’ll go.”

“Where are you going?”

She stopped as she was about to turn around and leave.

She could go straight to the Fredician County.

But.

“……I’m going to see my stupid disciple’s face first.”

In the end, she headed towards the Solar Cult, not the Academy exit.

***

I went back to the site, directed the work further, and returned to the dormitory.

There were some students in the lobby.

Among them, Ian approached Wildy.

She smiled when she saw Ian.

“Welcome, Ian. Is the construction going well?”

“It’s going well. But why do you look like that?”

“Huh? Why does she look like that?” Blanche tilted her head, and Wildy gave an awkward smile.

Just as she was about to shake her head as if it was nothing, Harun entered through the dormitory door.

“Hey. The mission destination is out. We’re leaving tonight? Why did they request it so urgently?”

Blanche, who received the documents Harun brought, tilted her head.

“Huh? Fredician County? Isn’t this your house, Wildy?”

At those words, the other students were surprised and looked at the documents.

Only then did Wildy let out a heavy sigh.

“Yes. It’s a problem in our territory.”

“A request from the Fredician County? Isn’t this a serious problem?”

That side is a wealthy county with strong power within the family.

However, if they are requesting a mission from that side, it must be no ordinary matter.

When Harun and the other students looked at her, Wildy shook her head.

“It’s not serious…… It’s just that they haven’t been able to figure out what’s going on.”

Wildy’s voice dropped.

She was trying to hide it, but she didn’t expect it to be revealed so quickly.

“Wow, Ian. Did you notice this and tell Wildy?”

“I see her almost every day, so I should be able to check her complexion.”

“You’re not ordinary after all. No, I see her every day, but why don’t I know?”

While Widia was tilting her head, Harun moved on to the next item.

“The Fredician County problem is a problem, but there are other places too. A monster wave has occurred.”

Harun handed the documents to Ian.

“They were saying in the faculty room that they wanted you to participate in the monster wave. If you participate, they’ll give you all the rewards and other things that the Academy will give you.”

There were quite a few high-grade relics and artifacts as mission rewards.

At this point, Ian would be satisfied and go there, but he came up with an unexpected answer.

“I’m going to the Fredician County.”

He had already made a promise with Gust.

So, it was better to go this way.

“Huh? Really?! Why?”

The students were surprised at Ian’s words, and Wildy was the most surprised.

Ian smiled at her with her eyes wide open.

“I get a lot from you guys usually, so I have to do this much.”

“No. I didn’t give it to you expecting this?”

“Mya mya!”

Myae also got a lot of things.

Many of the snacks and treats that the B class students brought were also for Myae.

Wildy was very happy when Myae cried on her lap.

“If Ian and Myae come, there’s nothing to worry about!”

“You don’t have to worry anymore. Gust is coming too.”

“……Yes?”

Tyrant Gust.

Why is she coming?

When Wildy looked at her in embarrassment, Ian said indifferently.

“That side’s work may be related to the Seven Deadly Sins.”

The expressions of the students in the lobby hardened at those words.

* * *

After washing up and resting a bit in the dormitory, I attended the Lunar Cult service.

Was it because the Saintess came in person?

The holy power she emitted was even greater than usual.

Ian, who accepted the energy of the moon, gave it all to Myae.

While Myae, whose fur had become more beautiful, was happy, Ian got up to leave after the service was over.

At that time, Aranse entered the Temple of the Moon.

“Ian, do you have a moment?”

“Yes. Why are you asking?”

“I heard from the kids earlier. You’re also participating in the request from the Fredician County?”

“Yes.”

“And you said it might be related to the Seven Deadly Sins, right?”

“Yes. Why are you asking?”

“No. Actually, the Academy wanted you to go to the monster wave.”

This monster wave is quite large.

That’s why the Academy wanted Ian, a powerful force, to participate.

“But it’s related to the Seven Deadly Sins. And if the Tyrant is going there too, it’s definitely more important. So, I’ve done all the related documents.”

“Thank you. But are you going too, Instructor?”

Aranse’s attire was different from usual; it was combat attire.

He smiled bitterly and shrugged.

“I told you. The monster wave is a bit serious. So, not only the students but also the instructors are participating this time. I’m going there too.”

Not only the master Pridion but also the mages dispatched from the Magic Tower.

And the instructors who can fight will also participate.

“We’ve also decided to receive support from soldiers and knights there. Don’t worry about this side.”

The reason why they requested the Academy there is that there are no strong people to lead them.

When Aranse said with a smile, Ian picked up Myae.

“Would you like to take her with you?”

“Myamya~.”

“Haha. Myae is best suited to be with you. We have enough power on our side, so don’t worry.”

At that time, Aute came out of the temple.

“Instructor Aranse? What’s going on?”

“It’s because of the Academy’s official request.”

They want the Lunar Cult to participate in this monster wave issue.

Aute, who read the request written by the Dean himself, nodded.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll prepare and go out soon.”

“Thank you for allowing us.”

“What are you talking about? We’re always getting help from the Academy.”

“Oh my? What’s going on?”

Celestia, who walked out gently, read the request in Aute’s hand and smiled softly.

“The Academy does a lot of good things. Dealing with monster waves…… Especially since the Cavalto territory is where the Lunar Cult temple is located.”

Celestia smiled brightly.

“Although it won’t be of much help, can I participate too?”

If she, who can use much stronger holy power than any priest, participates, it will definitely be of great help.

Aranse stared at her intently and asked.

“We would be grateful if you participated…… But why are you, the Saintess, trying to step in?”

She glanced at the temple.

Looking around the beautiful temple that Ian had made, she gave a soft smile.

“I’m giving back as much as I’ve received.”

And she stared at Ian intently.
