All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 84

84. I Should Go – 2

Ian smiled at Osnen, who looked quite serious.

“Why are you telling me this now?”

“Actually, I was thinking of telling you last night when I saw you.”

But yesterday, Ian seemed to be waiting for Osnen and someone else.

And Osnen thought it was related to the priests of the Moon Order they had met in Gwan-do.

As a sincere believer in the Moon Order, he didn’t want to interfere with the Order’s events because of his own business.

He thought he would have plenty of time to talk to Ian after the schedule was over.

So he was going to tell him in the evening, but things just went wrong like this.

No wonder Ian had tilted his head as soon as he saw him yesterday.

Osnen nodded slightly, recalling Ian’s reaction yesterday.

“Is that so? Well, let’s put that aside.”

He said lightly and took the artifact with the Cloud Kill magic on it.

“You said the Pandemonium brought five portraits, right? Do you remember all their names?”

“Yes.”

“Have you investigated the other four?”

“Two are dead, one is living like a good-for-nothing without talent, and one is missing.”

And one of those five.

Only Ian, who had also been deprived of his talent, was active in the Academy.

“So why are you looking for Pandemonium? From what you’re saying, you seem to have quite a bit of animosity towards them? Why?”

“There’s something I need to confirm.”

“What is it?”

“My brother. Whether he also had his talent taken away by Pasedin.”

The Empire’s 7th Prince and youngest.

Pasedin Rud Blad, who is currently 10 years old, was severely lacking in ability.

Most of those who inherited Blad’s blood possessed outstanding talents.

Not only Osnen but also his siblings were making names for themselves in their respective fields.

But only Pasedin.

Pasedin was different.

“That kid is lacking in everything.”

“Doesn’t he have some kind of illness or something?”

“The court physician examined him, but there was nothing like that. Also, his body itself isn’t in bad condition.”

But when he trains, he gets scared easily.

Even if he studies all night, he forgets as soon as he turns around.

It wouldn’t be a problem if he was simply average, but he’s excessively bad.

“He tries quite hard, but he’s not achieving any results.”

“Is that so?”

“Ian, weren’t you also someone who had your talent taken away?”

Osnen told him about those he had investigated in the past.

All of them tried quite hard in the beginning.

But none of them could do anything properly.

“And after looking into it today, I heard that you were similar until last year, or rather, early this year.”

“Hmm…….”

“Was there some kind of method? Did you get treatment or something?”

There’s no such thing.

In fact, this possessed body simply resisted without giving up.

He himself lamented and despaired at his lack of talent.

“Or is it really because you were trained by the Sword Saint or the Forest Keeper that you became like that?”

“It’s not like that. Didn’t their parents know anything?”

“There was nothing special. And according to the investigator’s report, nothing came out of your parents either.”

“Is that so?”

‘What’s the shortest route?’

If Ian runs with determination, he can get there even faster.

While Kirke, who had identified the route, was reporting, the two came out of the alley.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince!!”

“A, are you safe?!!”

Was it because Haryun had reported it as Ian had said earlier?

People from the Academy also came out.

As the guards saluted and went inside, Lily and Hebin, who were assisting Osnen, ran over.

“I’m safe.”

“Ah, that’s a relief. Really, that’s a relief. But there’s a wound here!! Aaaah…… You must receive treatment immediately!”

The twins, who were happy, saw Blanche and Valla standing behind them.

“You guys fought with His Highness the Crown Prince?”

“So? Why?”

They were the two who had shown a sharp momentum in the beginning.

That’s why Blanche chuckled.

The twins, who were looking at him, bowed their heads to Blanche and Valla.

“I sincerely express my gratitude.”

“Thank you.”

Considering the relationship between Fredon Academy and the Imperial Academy, it is difficult to greet them easily.

But it is true that they received help.

So they must express their gratitude for it.

Osnen smiled as the two lowered their pride and greeted him.

“You are those who tried to protect the weaker ones even though you are weak. And you are warriors who fought desperately even though you were caught up in my affairs.”

Blanche and Valla shrugged their shoulders at Osnen’s praise.

They are famous for being good-natured in the Academy.

This kind of thing could be passed over with a light greeting.

But Ian was not.

“The easiest thing in the world is just saying thank you. Originally, thank-you greetings should be given with both hands full [meaning a more substantial form of gratitude is required].”

And while he was at it, he wanted them to thank him too.

Anyway, it was true that he helped.

“Mya Mya!”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t you know that everything requires a price?”

Osnen, who looked at Myane, Haryun, and Graejin in turn, nodded lightly.

“I will repay you separately for this. Lily, Hebin. Let’s go.”

He had finished his business.

The two hurriedly chased after him as Osnen left.

It didn’t seem like they were in the mood to eat together.

Filoa and Mei also greeted him lightly and followed Osnen, and Valla said leisurely.

“Hey. We should go eat, right?”

The cleanup will be taken care of by the guards from the Academy.

While Ian was putting the artifacts he had obtained from the No Face assassins into his pocket, Haryun poked Ian’s back.

“What did you guys talk about over there?”

“It wasn’t anything special… Let’s eat first and I’ll tell you.”

After having dinner and returning to the Academy, they gathered in the room, and Ian told them the story he had shared with Osnen.

Graejin couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he heard all of it.

“Then does that mean that the experiment in the Balok Ruins was really possible?”

“I guess so?”

Haryun crossed his arms and groaned, and Graejin checked some data.

Meanwhile, Ian stroked Myane and said.

“So I’m going to go home on the next holiday.”

“Brandon Territory? There’s no gate there [teleportation gate].”

“I know the way.”

He told them the route that Kirke had reported, but everyone’s expression wasn’t very good.

They were even more worried because they knew the relationship between Ian and the Brandon Barons.

“Wouldn’t it be better to take someone with you just in case? For example, me.”

“There might be something related to the ruins, so it would be okay for me to go.”

“Yeah. I’ll go too.”

“If I, who is related to the Salt Marquisate [a territory known for salt production], go with you, you won’t be able to do anything strange.”

Ian smiled as they stepped forward.

Aranse would never allow it.

“Don’t say useless things and go to class. What are you going to do with the other kids?”

“Ugh…….”

“Then how are we going to investigate the Pandemonium-related issues? Are you going to do it?”

But Ian might be too busy to do that.

Graejin said, wondering if he should try to do it whenever he had time, but Ian shook his head.

“I have something in mind too.”

“What is it?”

“I’m going to commission it.”

“Commission… Oh? You don’t mean.”

“I have to tell Leila. Helid would have told her about the abandoned building, and she would have found out that it was related to Hastings.”

“She’s capable of that.”

“So don’t make her dig in strange places and make her dig here.”

In addition, she has a good head on her shoulders, so if she supports him, she might find something.

Ian said, and Haryun chuckled.

“You know how to use people. Where did you learn that?”

“Taming people is easy. Then I’m going to go meditate, so have fun and go to bed.”

As Ian went outside with only Myane, Graejin had a serious expression on his face.

“By the way, what should we do if Ian is gone?”

“Won’t it work out somehow? We’re pretty good these days, right?”

Graejin frowned as everyone seemed so carefree.

“The problem isn’t that, it’s whether the kids will listen.”

Ian is the representative, and everyone follows his instructions well even if problems arise because they are in a position to receive his teachings.

But what if he’s not there?

Haryun, recalling Class B when Ian was not there, stiffened.

“Hmm… this is a very serious problem.”

* * *

The next day, Ian went straight to Aranse.

He was quite embarrassed to hear that he was taking a vacation during the exchange, but he allowed it for now.

“By the way, this is unusual. You’re applying for a vacation. Where are you going?”

“I’m going to go to Brandon Territory.”

“Why there? Tsk. Should I go with you? It’s a bit much for me to say, but your family is a bit… isn’t it?”

Ian shook his head as Aranse said worriedly.

“It’s okay.”

“Then I can’t help it. Be careful.”

After receiving permission easily, Ian came out of the faculty office, and Wildy, Oerina, and Park Bare were standing outside.

“Oh? Ian. Where are you going?”

Did they hear the story they had in the faculty office?

Wildy asked as the representative.

“I’m going home for a bit. Why are you here?”

“Ah. Because of this.”

He came because of the teaching materials for today’s herbalism class.

Ian, who was looking at the pots on the large tray, said indifferently.

“Isn’t that Mandrake?”

“Yes. Today we’re making Kalz’s reagent…….”

“The fourth Mandrake from the right has root rot due to excessive magic. You won’t be able to make the reagent even if you make it with that, will you?”

“Yes? Where?”

There doesn’t seem to be a big problem on the outside.

While she was wondering, Ian grabbed the Mandrake she pointed to.

“Ian! If you just pull that out……!”

Mandrake screams terribly when pulled out, causing damage to the surroundings.

That’s why you have to cast a spell to pull it out.

Oerina, who knew that, was flustered and prepared a spell.

“Ugh! Sai…….”

But the Mandrake that Ian pulled out didn’t scream.

As he said, the root side was withered and drooping.

“Oh…… i, it’s real?”

Surprised, she stopped the magic and looked at Ian.

“How did you know?”

“Gardening is a good hobby to calm your mind, so I learned it. And change the one at the end too.”

As Ian, who said simply, left, Park Bare said curiously.

“What on earth can he see in his eyes?”

“I don’t know…….”

Wildy compared the leaves of the dead Mandrake with the leaves of the living Mandrake.

The ends of the leaves were slightly withered and dry.

I would have noticed it before.

These days, Ian filters out these things right away, so I couldn’t pay much attention to it.

Wildy looked at the Mandrake and felt bitter.

“It hasn’t even been a year since Ian came to Class B, but I think we’re relying on him too much.”

“Well. Can’t it be helped?”

You can’t help but get used to convenience.

As Oerina muttered, Wildy lightly grabbed the tray.

“Anyway, Ian said he’s going on vacation, so we have no choice but to do well until then.”

And.

All the Class B students who heard that he would be away for a few days felt quite a bit of pressure.
