Episode 186 Aftermath (1)
It was only belatedly that Professor Sadie, who had the Key to Magic Wall B, was discovered.
She was found in a drunken state in a back alley bar outside the academy, and even that was because the owner of the bar reported property damage and obstruction of business.
Professor Morgue Banshee looked down in disgust at Professor Saadi as he was being carried in drunk.
“Retrieve the key immediately. And open the magic wall.”
Just like that, the situation was settled.
The rescue time was 42 minutes and 13 seconds.
When the magic wall was dismantled and the professors hurriedly went inside, the situation had already ended.
The professors did not want to let the outside world know that they had come late because they were trying to determine jurisdiction and responsibility, so they promoted Bikir’s heroism even more exaggeratedly.
The article that said it would have been the worst disaster was removed, and all focus was on the fact that the most heroic first-year cadet in the history of the academy was born.
Meanwhile, Bikir briefly responded to the flood of interview requests.
“This is the result of all my friends working together.”
Because of the poison fog that filled the arena, people did not know in detail what was happening inside.
However, it was only roughly known because Tudor Sancho Piggy Bianca, who was rescued belatedly, and others spoke in unison about Bikir’s heroism.
Meanwhile.
The fact that Bikir’s skill reached the advanced level of Sword Expert heated up the campus once again.
In addition, attention was drawn to how he cleared the defense game with this power, which is strong for an 18-year-old, but still insufficient to defeat numerous worker ants and soldier ants.
And Bikir readily shared the secret.
“I think you can refer to my midterm written test answer sheet.”
The midterm exam is divided into practical skills and written tests. The practical skills are the defense game and the attack game. The written test consists of free research and essay tests.
Bikir had chosen killing ants strategy as the subject of his free research and had described the weaknesses of worker ants and soldier ants in the report.
Detecting the killer ant’s magic field, the biocompass, and the vital point in the soldier ant’s skull.
This was information that would be of great help to the Imperial Army, who were out in the wild to subdue monsters.
In particular, it is a treasure-like strategy that can drastically lower the death rate of ordinary soldiers or mercenaries who cannot use mana.
A new strategy for the lower-mid-level monsters that caused the most damage to mankind.
After this was announced, not only the academy, but also the emperor and the entire empire began to stir up excitement.
As a result.
“Who is Bikir? Commander is looking for you.”
“His Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter of commendation.”
“The head of the monster research center really wants to meet him…”
At least in the academy, there are few people who don’t know about Vikir.

The night sky. The rooftop of a dorm in a quiet night.

-Yesterday at around 11:00 am, a male student’s performance in the practical evaluation of the Cold Weapons Donation became a hot topic… The recipient of the commendation was Bikir (18), a freshman in the first year who just entered this year. …… He dug a tunnel and jumped into the poison fog to help the four friends in crisis… He became an example to others in the form of a slayer himself… And so far The merit of discovering the strategy of the unknown ‘killer ant’… On the other hand, if Bikir-kun’s performance is converted into a practical evaluation score, it is a whopping 9889 points.

Kugit-
Bikir crumpled up the newspaper.
“……this.”
In just a few tens of minutes, he became a celebrity in the school.
Somehow, he was getting further and further away from Vikir’s intentions.
“Is this all because of you?”
Bikir frowned at the young madam, who was hanging from the roof railing and knitting.
[Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear-]
However, the young madam, who ate food until her stomach burst after a while, lies down with her stomach toward Bikir as if she is in a good mood.
Bikir sighed and scratched the young madame’s belly.
at that time.
Food Duck –
What you’ve been waiting for has arrived.
A white owl flew out of the night sky and sat on the railing in front of Bikir.
It was a letter from Sindi Wendy that arrived just in time for the appointment.
Fluttering-
Bikir pulled out the letter tied to the owl’s leg and read it.
The letter is encrypted and cannot be deciphered except by Vikir.
1. Ten Sangshi (十上尸). obtaining information. Analysis takes time. one month.
2. The Hound of the Night. Two copycats appear. one for praise. The other has an unknown purpose.
3. Osiris of the Baskervilles. emptying the family. It is estimated that it is heading towards the ecliptic.
As a result of analyzing the key keywords, you can see that three pieces of information are listed in order of importance.
The first piece of information was about ten demons (now eight) that Vikir was after.
Sindi Wendy seemed to have a clue about the third demon Vikir was hunting.
‘However, since he is so cautious, it seems to take a month to determine the authenticity.’
However, it can be said that the reliability of the information is high.
Bikir eagerly decided to wait.
Anyway, because of Dantalian’s hunting case last time, he realized that dealing with a demon 1:1 level demon would be beyond his strength.
‘I have to diligently develop my skills until then.’
Bikir thought he should increase the amount of time he works as a night hound.
Because there is nothing better than practice to develop your skills.
……but.
‘A copycat?’
The second piece of information took a little bit.
It is said that there are two imitators who imitate the hounds of the night.
This was something Bikir also guessed to some extent.
It’s because of a recent newspaper article.
[Special] The Hound of the Night Another shocking crime!? / Hits: 74609
-Around 1:00 AM yesterday, the night hound started terrorizing again.
The destroyed place is the ‘Central Clock Tower’, the landmark of the ecliptic. Boasting a long history, this building is a symbol of the power of the imperial family and at the same time contains the will of the previous emperor, who wanted to present the standard of imperial order… Meanwhile, the number of deaths caused by this terror… .. The imperial family declares that they will definitely put this rare criminal to death by all means……
[Extra] Worst Villain ‘Night Hound’ How far can that evil go? / Hits: 89269
-The hound of the night hit another major accident.
The hound at night, which destroyed the ‘central clock tower’ around 1:00 a.m., devastated the ‘Royal Cemetery’ around 4:00 a.m., the very next time.
The Royal Cemetery is a sanctuary where the heroic generals of the previous era who unified the empire are asleep. The number of remains that have been damaged or lost due to this is still unknown, and the exact damage has not yet been counted
. It was around the time
What Bikir did not do is disguised as the work of the night hound.
“…Is this because he’s a copycat?”
A copycat is a person who imitates a criminal’s criminal behavior when he becomes famous.
The reasons for copying are various, such as praise, sympathy, support, rivalry, and concealment of a crime.
“One is the one who praises the hounds of the night… and the other is unknown. Hmm.”
Bikir rubbed his chin once with his hand.
Since the hounds of the night had become so infamous, it was expected that there would be people following them.
Most of the copycats were just chaffs who were quickly arrested, so I didn’t give much thought to them.
But now, the two copycats mentioned in the newspaper article and Xindi Wendy’s letter are different.
The force they possessed seemed considerable, and so was their meticulousness.
Presumably, the two copycats mentioned by Xindi Wendy were the same as the real culprits pointed out in this newspaper article.
The fact that two strong and cunning villains appeared at the same time was not very pleasant even for Vikir.
This is because it not only raises the awareness of the imperial family, but also may overlap the movement of activities.
“……I’ll have to visit the site once. What kind of guys are they?”
Bikir finished reading the letter.
Other than that, it was the information that Osiris Le Baskerville, the head of the Baskerville family and the eldest son of Hugo, had vacated his home, and it was something Vikir was not particularly interested in.
Bikir put an aura on the tip of her fingernail, burned the letter, and sent the ashes into the wind.
Right then.
There was a voice that caught the attention of Vikir, who was reading a newspaper while leaning against the roof railing.
“……Brother?”
Bikir slowly turned his head.
Familiar short hair, silver hair blowing in the night breeze shines brightly under the Milky Way.
Sinclair. Chief of the fever donation department.
Considering the place and time, it was a rather unexpected meeting.
