The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 52
Only Krnovel
Fortunately, we met a rescue team in the middle. Under their guidance and protection, we safely escaped the poisonous swamp.
Only after quickly washing away the poison using the detox device at the entrance to the poison swamp could we be free.
The third-year female student took her leader to the healing center. I sat down in a sunny spot nearby and took out the beef jerky I had been saving.
Because I was extremely hungry, I ate very quickly.
“thank you for helping.”
“no.”
I got up from my seat as I saw a 3rd grade boy approaching.
I don’t really want to talk about manners, but maybe because of my experience living in Korea, I naturally become more polite when I see older people.
Of course, if it offends my feelings, it will be different. The third-year male student who approached made a face of surprise.
“It’s changed a lot.”
“what. Yes.”
“okay. The loot is halved. “Because we have suffered so much, we cannot give it to you in full.”
“it’s okay.”
I decided to take the hellhorn horn in half. I got what I wanted and I didn’t want to wrestle anymore, so I agreed right away.
“thank you for helping.”
“no.”
I looked at him with a strangely pleased expression on my face.
“Student Davide.”
“Huh? Vice-captain?”
After chatting for a while, the third-year boy left. The next person to speak was not the twins, but the vice-principal.
She approached me with a slightly worried expression on her face, wondering how I knew. With this level of location tracking, I could easily suspect her of being a stalker.
I welcomed the vice-captain, feeling a little uncomfortable. What I’m curious about is why I’m here.
“Vice-captain, what’s going on?”
“I happened to be around. I was going to take a quick look, but there was a familiar face. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes, as you can see, it’s fine.”
It didn’t feel like it was contrived, but it wasn’t something that couldn’t have happened. I nodded slowly.
“This?”
“It’s a swamp ant antennae. “It costs about 1 knuckle per animal.”
“… … “All of this is a stutter?”
“yes.”
The vice-captain made a face of disbelief. At first glance, there seemed to be about 160 tentacles.
There were a similar number in the magic backpack, but they didn’t mention it.
“Student Davide.”
“yes?”
“Did you see anything strange in there?”
“Something strange? “What are you talking about?”
“Something that bothers me.”
“Nothing in particular. Oh, the concentration is a little strange.”
I described in detail what I had heard from the party. I described it in as much detail as possible, as it could be a sign of something unusual.
Her face became serious as she heard the length being repeated and the area, the concentration suddenly became thicker.
“Gosh, you must have been tired, but I didn’t notice.”
“no.”
“I’ll just go. Please go in carefully.”
“Yes. Vice-captain, please be careful on your way in.”
I followed the back of the vice-captain as he walked further and further away. Something was bothering him. The vice-captain’s eyes, as he spoke, were different from usual.
Was the poisonous swamp related to the story? Nothing in particular comes to mind. It was something you never knew. Just as there was Astral in the lab, there may be plenty of things I don’t know about.
“Who is that person?”
“Vice-captain of the 6th Imperial Knights.”
“Huh.”
I answered Lera’s question absentmindedly. She looked surprised for a moment, then quickly turned her attention away. I could feel a strange gaze lingering on her face.
“What happened?”
“He asked me to pass this on.”
The answer came from my twin brother. He came whimpering and carrying something.
A quick look reveals something a bit odd. A piece of cloth sealing the horn and roots of a hellhorn. It looks like they tried to cut off the horn but failed and ended up cutting the head in half.
My expression was not good, as if I had seen something a little disgusting.
“There won’t be any blood! I cleaned it all up.”
“… … “Just now?”
It’s fast. I gave a soulless compliment to my brother who was proudly talking about something.
“Thank you for saving me.”
“huh? what. “It’s because we all did well together.”
“You played a decisive role. “Because none of us had that much firepower.”
Lera, who seemed relatively calm, took out a tentacle from her backpack and expressed her gratitude. What’s wrong with these people? They all came together and defeated them together.
The only difference in terms of firepower was the difference in position. Somehow, everyone seemed grateful, so it was hard to simply refuse.
It’s funny what they say when they say they’re thankful.
“Good work. “Please stop going in.”
“yes! Please go in carefully!”
The quick greeting from the first year made me feel strange. He Winter is also a first grader and Canis is also a first grader. Worden is also a freshman. But this is my first time being treated like this.
Winter was polite to me, but it wasn’t this lively feeling. I left my bewildered feelings behind and moved forward.
I collected the antennae scattered everywhere. There was no way I could carry it, so I tied it to a rope, stacked it high, and dragged it. I have to settle the settlement first.
“You’re here? How are you? Where are you hurt? I was so surprised when the rescue team signal came!”
“Oh, you’re still here.”
“Yes, yes. There’s an hour left for the shift change… … How about this!”
I told the guide who was so worried about quitting that it was okay.
I would be grateful if someone cared about me, but since the intention is so irreverent, all I get is a cold expression.
“Settlement.”
“Oh right.”
I led her out of the office. She looked puzzled at the bundle of luggage in front of her that was taller than her.
Antennae as long as an adult man’s arm, neatly arranged, greeted her.
“What is all this?”
“Swamp ant antennae. Two for each ant. Count them.”
“… … oh my god. Did you commit massacre? “I think you’ve destroyed the colony at this rate.”
“I haven’t seen the queen ant. I haven’t been to the hatchery either.”
“Ah, that’s a shame.”
She started chatting and counting her antennae. I accepted her words and yawned lazily.
The air I breathe after leaving the poisonous swamp is incredibly refreshing. I feel anew that it is this good.
“There are 342 in total. Then a total of 171. One knuckle per head is 171 knuckles. Do you want to receive your reward right away?”
“Of course. Oh, this is a trophy.”
“hmm? “What is this again?”
“The horn of the hellhorn ox. “Half a head, to be exact.”
“… … What have you been doing? The hellhorn lives in Area D?”
“It just so happened.”
I guess that’s not the way to explain it. With a tired look on his face, the guide unraveled the cloth and checked his face.
Even though he frowns and looks disgusted, there is no hesitation in his hand gestures. It was the hand of a skilled civil servant.
“What do you want with the loot? Do you want to sell to us?”
“hmm. wait a minute.”
I asked for a moment of understanding from the guide. I summoned the Bible in my left hand.
The guide exclaimed in admiration at the appearance of the Bible, which had a sacred aura and radiated a soft glow.
“Beautiful goddess. “Can I use this horn as a weapon?”
“?”
The guide’s face suddenly turned pale as he saw me bringing my face close to the Bible and speaking secretly.
I paid no heed to it and continued to ask Anaye. There was no particular rejection response.
“Are the horns only cut off and delivered?”
“Oh, I can do that much. “What did you just do?”
“The goddess covered the weapon. “You have to be allowed to do this.”
“her. haha. “Hehehe.”
The guide let out an empty laugh.

“What happened to the swamps of Gehenna?”
“According to our investigation, the students’ statements are not true. The concentration did not exceed the levels set by each area.”
Sheila was drinking tea while receiving a report from her subordinate. A consistent statement heard from a group of students. That was clearly an abnormal symptom.
However, those who went to investigate said it was no different from usual and appealed that the students’ statements were incorrect.
“Good work.”
The office is left alone after sending away its subordinates. Sheila felt something uneasy.
The students may have been misinformed, or they may have lied, but Sheila was more suspicious of the other side.
“Student Davide was the first to enter the swamp.”
After that, the party came and the first thing I noticed was something strange at the party. Doesn’t it seem somehow related to Davide?
Of course, it’s close to speculation, but I’ve been keeping an eye on Davide a lot lately, so this has become natural.
“Should we go see the winter students?”
A cute look in its raw form. It was something rare and rare to find at the academy. A smile that comes naturally to the white and gaunt image.
I dreamed of a brief escape, but it didn’t last long.
“Hey. Sheila.”
“Yes, sir.”
Sheila quickly stood up at the sight of a powerful figure approaching the office. He opened the door without knocking and welcomed Ethan who came in.
Ethan called Sheila with a tired face, as always.
“It looks like the hell rhinoceros corpse has arrived.”
“Ah! Okay! I’ll go right away.”
The reason why someone like the commander of the knights came to personally report this. In reality, there is no reason for the commander or vice-captain to see such a monster corpse.
Then there was clearly a reason to see it. Sheila quickly finished getting ready and followed Ethan.
The sports grounds of the building where the Imperial Knights reside. There was a sizable hellhorn corpse there.
“hmm.”
The decapitated body was not very well preserved. There was a gaping hole in the chest and the hands and feet were all twisted up.
“The exoskeleton on the chest is melted inward.”
“I guess we can say it penetrated the exoskeleton and attacked from the inside.”
The hellhorn is a difficult monster with a hard exoskeleton. But it’s not that you can’t catch it.
It is particularly weak to water attributes, so even if you have two proper water attribute magicians, it should be no problem to catch it.
As Sheila examined the wound, she realized that this large hole in her chest was not unfamiliar.
The lightning sword that I saw back then, emitting a brilliant light. If it had the firepower to cut through even the guardians, then it would be natural for it to have this level of power.
“A guy who should have been in Area D was found near Area A.”
“You were either running away from something or chasing someone. “It’s probably one of the two.”
“What does it look like?”
Territorial fights are a common occurrence in the wild. It is understandable to say that he lost such a fight and ran away.
If so, then this corpse should have been marred by an animal. However, this hellhorn met the student party in perfect condition.
“I think electronically.”
“This guy ran away without fighting? “Is there anyone who would do that?”
Ethan, who noticed that there were no other injuries, immediately sorted out the situation. If there was a problem, it was the guy who caused it.
Sheila sighed softly. The hellhorn is as warlike as it looks. He is a crazy person who attacks even those who are stronger than him. That guy ran away without fighting.
“It looks like the one in the center has moved.”
“What hasn’t moved in 60 years?”
“If it weren’t for him, the hellhorn wouldn’t avoid a fight.”
“I guess so. Just write a report like this and go to bachelor’s degree. “Meet the chairman and discuss it.”
“……yes.”
Work increased again. Sheila returned with a gloomy look on her face. I thought that was something the leader should do, but I gave up.
The leader is tasked with tasks that even she hesitates about. Above all, she is receiving convenience, so she is in no position to complain.
“ah. “It’s sad.”
Is there still no way to leave work on time today? It is more difficult than that to have to see that difficult and sharp chairman again.
