I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years - Chapter 436



Side Story 1-an Old Story Told by a Grandmother (10)

“Damn it!”

‘What is that damn monster?!’

A monster that looks like a giant dog-shaped doll. The monster went on a rampage, waving its button eyes and striking away the charging soldiers with its paws.

“aah!”

“Save me!”

Screams coming from all directions.

At the scream, the Count realized that not only the unidentified monster was rampaging in front of him, but also that another attacker had appeared.

‘Troublesome guys. How dare these guys…’

His temples were bulged under the bow.

“I was trying to make a shortcut to the great task of succeeding in this mission and purifying the kingdom… But how dare those damn monsters stand in our way?”

The Count pulled out the sword from his belt and approached the monster that had broken the barrier. The head of the monster, whose shape was indistinguishable whether it was a doll or a living creature, turned towards the Count who was approaching him.

[Tom, don’t be too hard and run away.]

Maria’s worried voice her her her her. But instead of running away, Tom raised his paw.

That’s because I intuitively sensed that it wouldn’t be easy to shake off. In response to the giant monster’s attack, the Count wrapped his Auror around his sword and attacked the approaching paw.

‘It’s light.’

A very light attack that doesn’t match its huge body. Although it was enough to blow a person away, it felt somewhat inadequate to say that it was a power that came from a body the size of a house.

‘Is it like a golem made of magic?’

The Count’s eyes slowly examined Tom’s body from head to toe.

Isn’t there a great sense of incongruity in many ways when it comes to calling it a living thing?

And,

‘How did you break through the barrier?’

The reason why magic stone protection was relatively neglected was because there was a belief that monsters would never be able to break through the barrier.

However, as if to show off, the barrier was broken, and the camp was engulfed in chaos.

Therefore, the count had no choice but to question and confront the monster.

“…I guess I can’t ask why. There is no way you can speak human language.”

‘Once we resolve the situation, we will begin reorganization. Since they are chosen elites, the damage will not be that great.’

After finishing the calculation, the Count rushed towards Tom. Tom stuck his head in with his mouth open, as dogs do. A mouth that could easily swallow a person.

The Count scoffed at that and mercilessly struck Tom in the chin with his fist.

Tom’s head lifted up, and the Count swung his sword, aiming for the gap. Tom’s chin was torn by a sharp sword strike, and cotton popped out.

“Cotton? “Is it like a golem?”

Tom took a big step back and glared at the earl. However, once his identity has been revealed to some extent, fighting the Count is difficult. Tom turned his gaze to check the perch used as a light and knocked it over towards the tent.

“What a damn doll!”

The fire started to spread to the tent.

[Tom, run away!]

What needs to be done is done. All that’s left is to run away.

Tom immediately shrunk his size and ran into the woods. The Count was trying to chase Tom, but he stopped and picked up the cotton that had fallen on the floor.

“This should be enough. Hello! Put out the fire with water magic!”

“Yes!”

The Count leaped towards the monsters attacking the camp.

The camp, which had been immersed in chaos, began to calm down little by little.

——————-

“Tom, are you okay?”

At Maria’s worried voice her her, Tom nodded his head vigorously, but the cotton fell out of his chin, making him look funny. She lifted Tom up, checked the wound on his chin, and said:

“I’ll fix it when I get home.”

[That’s great. Maria.]

“…No.”

“…The camp has been burned, so it will be quiet for a while. The problem is… I don’t know if they will give up the forest easily.”

‘The battlefield will still be in a lull, so there may still be time.’

Some wizards may have to die, but isn’t the Duke’s biggest force the wizards?

Since there is an academy in the country that trains wizards, it shouldn’t be that difficult to supply wizards. Therefore, Teddy did not think that this situation would be resolved so easily.

“…Are you saying you’re going to keep targeting the forest?”

“Yes.”

[What a troublesome thing.]

Volk scratched the side of his head with his hind paw and sighed.

There are a lot of intruders in the forest. It’s a common occurrence, but it’s a nuisance.

Volk, who was watching at the camp where the flames were slowly dying out, turned his gaze to the two and said.

[I will take you there, so get on it.]

“…Thank you. Mr. Volk.”

“Thank you, Volk.”

The two quietly climbed on Volk’s back. Volk got up from his seat when the two were on his back, cried out, then turned and headed towards Maria’s mansion.

———————–

[Just in case, prepare to leave.]

“…Yes.”

Maria’s eyes shook at Volk’s words.

‘I might have to leave the forest…’

The probability is low, but if it actually happens, it will be a very difficult journey.

Because she had a hard time getting along with people. Teddy cautiously approached her and placed his hand on her shoulder, with her clearly anxious expression on her face.

“Even if something like that happens, I will protect you.”

“…Why are you trying to protect me?”

“…Would you believe me if I answered, “Because I love you?”

[I love you. Maria.]

An afterimage of the past that comes to mind. Maria closed her eyes tightly and lowered her head.

‘In the end, if you find out my secret, you will be the one to leave.’

A dirty secret. Even after knowing that, will he be able to whisper love?

“…Don’t love someone like me.”

[Write…]

Volk, who was watching from behind, looked at the two men and women with a frustrated expression.

‘I want to interfere, but it’s a problem for those kids to solve on their own… ‘

There is nothing more uncool than meddling in someone else’s dating business. Volk decided to quietly watch what would become of the two men and women.

[I’m going to go, so I hope you have a good time.]

“…Yes. Mr. Volk. Thank you for bringing me here today.”

“Please return safely, Volk.”

Volk looked at the two with worried eyes, then turned around and disappeared into the forest. Maria and Teddy looked at that, then turned and went into the house.

Without any conversation.
