Episode 300: The Warmongering Age (2)
…Pushyuk!
A single ‘whip’ pierced Principal Winston’s heart.
Knock-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-
kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal-kal.
An impressive woman in glossy black tights and high heels walked out of the curtain behind the stage.
Ms. Ouroboros.
It is needless to say that the whip that took Winston’s life in an instant was hers.
The moment she appeared, the people in the hall temporarily tilted their heads.
It was also the first time she had appeared in public.
However, Miss Ouroboros did not give the public time to adapt to reality.
“Uh…… uh uh uh!”
Winston. He collapsed on the stage, waving his arms.
To think that an outstanding swordsman with the level of a sword master would become like this in an instant in front of everyone.
and.
…Kwajik!
Miss Ouroboros trampled Winston’s body once more with the heel of her long kill heel.
perfect confirmation. Winston’s heart burst and he died completely on the spot.
With the land!
The winter sword ‘Orwell’, which was his explanatory season, A famous sword that looks like the horn of a unicorn falls to the floor and rolls.
“Ah, I finally got it. The ‘key’.”
Miss Ouroboros picked up Orwell and said to herself, breaking the silence.
Ahhh-
Then I hear a scream. Students, parents, and professors in the stands screamed in unison.
And facing all this confusion head on, Miss Ouroboros threw off the mask that was covering her face.
After his speech, Professor Banshee, who was sitting in the front row,’s eyes widened.
“Professor Sasadi!?”
Yes. In the meantime, a rare villain who has made the whole of the imperial city lively. A villain who committed numerous crimes.
The true identity was Professor Donatien Alphonse François Sady de Sade, the troublemaker of the academy!
“Hohohoho- Ah, this taste kills people.”
Sadhi chuckled at the commotion around him.
Then Professor Banshee exclaimed in amazement.
“Finally, you’re crazy in earnest. To put a knife into the back of the benefactor who saved and raised you.”
Principal Winston, who has raised and supported Sadie all this time. But Saadi killed him. It is to repay kindness with enemies.
The principal’s professors took the side of Banshee in an unusual way and began to get angry.
“How could you do that to Winston-sama, who raised four years without a place to go since he was a dwarf, you beast!”
“If it wasn’t for Winston-sama, you’d be head over heels already!”
“You ungrateful bitch! There really is no such thing as a devil!”
“You do the same thing as your grandfather! You can’t cheat blood!”
however.
“Ah- quack. It’s not like I’m at the duck farm.”
Professor Saadi cleans his ear with one hand. And with the other hand, he moved the whip very slightly.
However, by the time the lightly loaded momentum reaches the tip of the whip, it is amplified by a tremendous amount.
The physical force transmitted by the tip of the whip devastated the entire ground near the professors standing under the podium.
“Cheukhak!?”
The swordsmen and wizards who had reached a fairly high level suddenly fell out.
Everyone paid attention to the aura at the end of Professor Saadi’s whip.
“Liquid Aura!”
“If you look at the beauty density, it’s the best grader!”
“Fortunately, that bitch hasn’t reached Master yet!”
“But isn’t that bitch’s weapon a whip…”
Everyone hesitates at the sight of the whip in Sadie’s hand.
In fact, things like whips and bows and scythes are quite irregular even among cold weapons.
This kind of weapon can raise the level of inaction if ‘handled well’.
For example, a whip is a deformed weapon that even if a little force is applied near the handle, the movement is multiplied as the force passes near the long body, eventually creating tremendous destructive power at the tip of the whip.
The aura of the highest grade of a graduate starts at the handle of the whip and increases exponentially towards the end, creating a power almost comparable to that of a sword master.
Of course, as much as gaining great power, you have to take risks. The whip easily loses control even with the slightest change, so it sometimes attacks the body of its owner…
“Wasn’t Professor Sadi a master of the whip?
“Hmm. Actually, I have no experience dealing with a whip.”
“The whip’s deformed aura exploding structure, and the unexpectedness of the unique weapon…
”
The professors around me are buzzing.
at that time. Professor Banshee stepped forward.
“Are you crazy, Sadie? There are countless professors, students, and parents here. What can you do alone? I can’t help but think that you did this because you wanted to die…
”
Saadi cut off Professor Banshee.
Certainly, in this academy, there are many elite students who are stronger than most adult knights and wizards, as well as outstanding professors and parents who have taught and raised such elite students.
It is said to be a school, but in reality it is an institution that respects the extremes of martial arts.
In addition, there is a bureaucratic structure that is divided into grades and classes.
In terms of power and system, it is no different from a solid military group.
However, Professor Saadi was still smiling leisurely.
“Ho-ho-ho- when did I ever say I came alone?”
Doubt and uneasiness appeared on the faces of everyone who heard those words.
right at that moment.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
A huge explosion echoes throughout the auditorium.
It was a shock from the magic wall in the distance.
Before long, several terrifying faces began to appear through the windows of the auditorium.
A grim figure, a beauty exuding decadence, a wrinkly old man, a child with an evil smile on his lips, etc… They
all had different ages, sexes, and physiques, but they had two things in common.
First of all, they are heinous criminals who are being pursued by the Empire.
Second, they are all those who escaped from the wanted list and disappeared.
For an instant, goose bumps ran down Professor Banshee’s spine.
‘Recently, I heard that the arrest rate of criminals in the imperial capital has dropped significantly. Could that be the reason…?’
If you look at the faces of the criminals who have invaded this auditorium, all of them are the ones whose investigation has been closed due to disappearance.
‘Jack the Ripper’ ‘The Wolf of Jebodang’ ‘The Champawat Tiger’ ‘The Bachelor of Powell Street’ ‘Son of Sam’ ‘Serial Killer Pierrot’ ‘Fashionista’ ‘The Devil of Lorelai’ ‘The Frog Dissector’ ‘The Strangler of Hillside’ ‘The killer of the green river’, ‘Bloody Mary’, etc…
All the vicious villains that the zodiac guards missed without being able to arrest them are all gathered here.
And shockingly, all of them were looking at Sadie in the center of the stage, full of respect, affection and fear.
“Ah, my queen. I broke the magic wall as you ordered.”
“Now please torment me a little more.”
“Hit me with a whip, please step on me with a heel, unnie-”
The eyes of everyone, young and old, are covered with sticky hearts.
Apparently, he was brainwashed and trained mentally and physically by Sadhi quite powerfully.
To those villains, Sadhi smiled and gave an order.
“All. Explode.”
Then, the villains answered in unison.
“Your queen!”
At the same time, all the villains started holding their breath.
They let the magic power run wild in their bodies all at once, and the result was, of course, a runaway mana and a huge explosion.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The auditorium collapses with a violent explosion.
Sadhi laughed in the shower of rebar and rubble.
Banshee spread her shield magic and removed the falling debris.
And I still asked, as if it was absurd.
“Why are you doing this? Are you really crazy?”
It was a question with the purpose of understanding the psychology of a criminal named Sadhi and at the same time buying time for reinforcements to arrive.
Of course, Saadi was aware of Professor Banshee’s intentions, but she was mostly pleasant.
“It’s not me that’s crazy, it’s the world.”
“……what?”
“I’ve been patiently waiting to sound the alarm in this crazy world.”
“What were you waiting for?”
“This moment. To be precise, I hope the principal returns and the principal brings parents together. Wouldn’t that make my message a little better?”
Then Professor Banshee’s eyes narrowed.
he said in a cold voice.
“…Is it because of the ’47 man unrest’?”
At that, Sadie smiled and nodded her head.
“Did you know? The information power is amazing.”
Professor Saadi continued. Her eyes were on the students behind her.
“The idiots at your academy would understand the incident as just a coup of fools blinded by power. But the reality is very different.”
At her words, the students recalled a presentation made by an honor student in the previous class.
-The ’47 Unrest’ is an unprecedented event that occurred 35 years ago, shortly after the empire was unified into one.
-The incident was caused by 47 people, but it was called the ’47 Family Unrest’ because each of them was the head of a family.
-A treason case in which 47 people staged a coup, slaughtered countless people, and invaded the imperial palace.
– As a result, 46 out of 47 people were summarily executed on the spot, and one surviving person is currently imprisoned in a prison ‘New Vague’ located in the outskirts of the continent.
-The purpose of the coup is still unknown, but it is generally assumed that they aimed to usurp the throne.
However, Sadhi shook his index finger.
“The reason why 47 people, including my grandfather, staged a coup d’état was because they had nostalgia for the old times.”
“perfume?”
“Yes. Strength is the truth. The era of strong self-respect, where only the strong survived.”
Saadi’s eyes began to glow with madness.
“That’s the ‘Warring States Period’.”
At her words, everyone including Professor Banshee swallowed their saliva.
Before the unification of the Empire, there was no day without noise due to wars between countless nations.
Hundreds of people each claiming to be king.
An era of flicker and extinction in which several countries appeared and disappeared in a single day.
Isn’t it the logic of the Warring States period that weak countries perish and strong countries prosper?
Back then, a strong man was law and justice.
It was a virtue and an honor to pay back with strength when something happened.
plural. personal sanctions. A world where all these things happened through the logic of power.
……However, after the continent was unified into one, this aspect has changed a lot.
In times of peace, strength is unnecessary.
Laws were overhauled and a bureaucracy was created to fill the gap.
Even if your strength is weak, if you are smart, you can pass various tests and rise to a high official position, and you can stand on the head of those stronger than you.
Large-scale warfare was lost, and revenge or private sanctions were considered dangerous.
At least once, even the ‘abolition order’ or ‘retirement order’ was seriously reviewed.
“Peace turns human beings into pigs. They are no different from livestock. Humans were originally created to be strong and to fight and win. I often go around wearing a mask.”
Professor Saadi exclaimed with her eyes shining.
Professor Banshee asked in a calm voice.
“…I understand everything. Why did you kill Principal Winston?”
Principal Winston was a tall man who had supported Saddy since he was a child.
When Saadi’s grandfather, the Marquis de Sade, was imprisoned in Newvag Prison for the crime of the ‘riot of 47 people’, he was the one who stopped him, saying that it was unfair to punish his granddaughter by guilt-by-association.
Professor Banshee scolded sharply.
“Is this the only recompense for having pity for a girl who lost her entire family overnight and was left alone?”
But Saadi snorted.
“Winston was the human who captured my grandfather. It was during a battle with my grandfather that he suffered internal injuries from mana surges. Did you know that I didn’t know?”
“……!”
“He’s a very disgusting guy. And since he’s the symbol of the school, we had to kill him anyway.”
Saadi shrugged.
An academy is a means of incorporating martial arts into the system. It is a trick of the powerful to suppress the power of the warriors and make them obey by skillfully wrapping it with the word success.
It is literally a symbol of oppression.
“Those who say they use a little sword and some magic should be able to grow their strength while rolling on the battlefield, build a family, and establish a nation. There’s nothing you can do here other than waiting for a bone with flesh attached to it to be thrown.”
“Then, should we praise private revenge as an honor and risk our lives even in minor clashes? Then how do powerless ordinary people live? It’s not some kind of barbaric society.”
“What do you know? Why do the powerful need to consider the circumstances of the powerless? Why do the powerless always whine because they want something for free? If that’s the case, why don’t they whine against monsters or natural disasters? Because of being the same human race? Through words and conversations? Are you fooling around with strangers just for that reason? Whining to those who can speak the language and lying flat to those who do not understand the language? What kind of cowardly and cowardly logic is this!”
Sadhi gritted his teeth and growled.
“Then I will be your natural disaster! Don’t even dare to whine! Just accept it, pigs!”
As Sadhi wields the whip, another storm of aura rages.
In addition, the number of criminals flocking through the cracks in the auditorium was increasing.
“Sister! I love you! Look over here!”
“Queen Saadi! I would gladly sacrifice my body for you!”
“Grunt-Grunt!”
Seeing that so many criminals have been secretly arrested and taken away separately, and then perfectly trained as slaves, Sadhi’s ability was definitely real.
Right then.
…Dengng!
The neck of one famous criminal who was running to the front fell in an instant and rolled on the floor.
…Dengng! Goof- Wooddeuk! rotten!
And after that, the ranks of criminals who run away one after another.
The nightmares that once terrorized the entire empire die all too easily.
It was a sight that even the sadi of the world could not help but harden his expression.
yet.
Fluttering –
The black bloody cloak flutters in blood.
Dark black hair, bright red eyes like blood.
A man with a dark red aura at the tip of his sword was blocking numerous warmongers.
