The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 62
Only Krnovel
As far as I remember, there were no train-related events. The game simply allowed you to move between areas by paying money.
“I’ll figure it out and solve it all~”
As the train slowly slowed down and came to a complete stop, Canis spoke. No one cared, including Sleeping Winter.
The inside of the train was a little chaotic. A crew member appeared and calmed the panicked passengers.
“As a result of observations, it was confirmed that it was a mass migration of desert tribes. We ask passengers to remain calm and refrain from engaging in provocative behavior toward the window.”
I listened to what the flight attendant said and looked out the window. I saw a group running through a quiet desert with no wind.
They were riding strange ostrich-like birds, their bodies wrapped in pure white cloth.
“What is that?”
“Hey~ It’s a baby dragon~”
Canis, who had relatively much knowledge, pretended to know. A huge snake was following behind a desert tribe of about 30 people.
A giant snake with sand-colored skin rushed at me fiercely. If I were to call it a Toryong, it would be a field boss.
“You’re not being chased, are you?”
“The hunting family, Duhane~ don’t know that~”
“Be quite.”
“Over here, flight attendant~”
Meanwhile, the squeaky Canis called out to the crew member, giggling. The crew member came closer with a puzzled look on his face.
“Yes, sir.”
“Can I order some soda?”
The people in the room were shocked to see drinks ordered out of nowhere. Those who were nervous knowingly or unknowingly fell limp as if they had lost all energy.
“… … It’s a bit difficult right now.”
“Oh~ What a pity~”
The flustered crew quickly came to their senses. Kanis nodded without saying anything in response to the polite refusal.
“You inconsiderate guy.”
“Is Dabi in a position to say something like that?”
Canis soon began to show that he was bored, spinning the crystal ring on his finger. I snatched it away from him.
“Reverend? Something is strange?”
“what.”
Warden, who had been looking out the window the whole time, warned me. While bickering with Canis, I looked out the window as Warden had said.
People from the desert tribe crossed the train one by one. Several thumping sounds were heard, and the dragon furthest behind dug into the ground.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The dragon that I thought would just pass over the train suddenly appeared before my eyes. Its golden pupil, torn vertically, was as big as a person’s head.
“… … “Why is it looking at me?”
“Wow~ Dabi is popular with animals~”
My image filled the golden pupil. The earth dragon gradually came closer to the window.
It was quite interesting to see the dragon up close. It was definitely different from what you see in the game.
“… … .”
“… … .”
A person appeared next to Toryong. It was a desert tribe that came to pick up an earthen dragon that did not follow.
A desert tribe wearing white robes approached the dragon. The lines revealed by the robes were elegant.
“It’s my first time seeing a desert tribe~”
The desert tribesman who had tapped the dragon’s head said something. The dragon shook his head as he listened to this.
@Toryong looked back at me vaguely, and the desert tribe sighed and persuaded Toryong. After a while, the earth dragon nodded and disappeared behind.
I turned my head and made eye contact with the desert tribe. She was a woman with a particularly prominent nose. Canis waved his hand at the desert tribe as if curious.
“Dabi~ I received your greeting~”
“You stay still, Inma.”
Smiling, she waved and received Canis’ greeting. She immediately brought her attention to her boastful canis.
The desert tribe member who had been observing the group for a moment bowed his head with his hands clasped together. I nodded, thinking that it meant he was sorry.
A desert tribe member suddenly approached and placed their hand on the glass. The glass vibrated low and gradually melted.
“… … “Is it okay to do this?”
“… … I don’t know either.”
I glanced back at the sudden action of the desert tribe. The flight attendant was holding the back of his neck, lost in thought.
Kanis and I watched the desert tribe while keeping an eye on the crew. The desert tribe suddenly reached out through the melted glass.
“what? “Ask for it?”
The desert tribe’s finger pointed to the crystal ring that Kanis had made. When he shook the crystal ring, she nodded.
“Hmm, maybe the earth dragon was a female?”
I left Canis’s nonsense behind and handed him the crystal ring. The desert tribesman with a troubled expression handed me something from his bosom.
It was a sand-colored ring. She turned around only after giving me a ring with a unique pattern. The melted glass re-glued itself and returned to the glass window from before.
“Me? Desert Tribe. This is my first time seeing you.”
After Warden finished speaking, she also left. I looked at the sand-colored ring and handed it to Canis.
Anyway, it was in exchange for Kanis’s correction. Kanis tilted his head once and then calmly accepted the ring.
It took about ten minutes for the desert tribe to disappear before the train started moving again.
* * *
“I don’t remember.”
“Of course. Because I slept spread out.”
“Ahhh! I was looking forward to it!”
The group arrived at the train station and headed straight to a nearby hotel. On the way, Winter muttered empty words.
In the end, Winter got a decent four hours of sleep. Winter, who had been secretly looking forward to the desert scenery, was furious.
“Ugh.”
Winter immediately grabbed Warden’s collar and shook him, and Warden shook him without much resistance.
“There are still plenty of opportunities. It’s hot, so let’s go to the dorms for now.”
“Huh.”
Only after Davide removed it did Winter let go. Canis handed candy to a downcast Winter.
“ruler.”
“hmm? “Aren’t you going with me?”
It was about a 10-minute walk. Davide arrived at the accommodation and handed Winter a purse.
Winter, who was obediently receiving the money bag, tilted her head.
“What is the purpose of our coming here?”
“Desert? I came to catch a giant.”
“that’s right.”
Warden answered David’s question immediately. Those who had been informed in advance waited silently for David’s words.
“Originally, hunting involves more time searching than catching. “I’m going to find someone who can help me with that.”
“Helper~ Who are you?”
Everyone nodded at Davide’s words. Among them, Canis was the representative and asked what everyone was curious about.
“The person I stabbed with a knife.”
“huh?”
Winter’s mouth opened wide at David’s unexpected words.
The third city in the desert. Slightly less developed than the two cities to the north, it has been slow to develop due to the lack of an oasis.
There was someone looking for this place.
“therefore. My senior stabbed me with a knife. “For example, visiting the victim of the incident that led to his suspension?”
“I figured it out right away.”
“… … .”
Everyone fell silent at Davide’s confirmation. They seemed to be worried about whether what they heard was correct.
“That. Uh, is that possible?”
“Would you mind~ If it were me~ I would throw crystals in your eyes as soon as I saw your face~”
“danger? Did you do it? “I want to go with you.”
Canis answered Winter’s absurd question instead. The idea is that she asks for help from the victim she stabbed.
Everyone was skeptical about the statement, which was said to make one search for one’s conscience just by hearing it.
“Yes, senior.”
“why.”
“As you know. My senior is the head of the Anaye Church. So, if you get hurt or disappear, you know that in itself we will fall apart, right?”
“Of course I know.”
“… … .”
Winter laughed at Davide’s confirmation. Winter asked herself quietly.
Is he the kind of person who wouldn’t go if you told him not to? No. Is he the kind of person who could stop someone with force? No. There was nothing Winter could do.
“But~ Dangerous things are dangerous~ I can’t do it without Dabi, so I’ll follow you?”
“hmm.”
Davide reluctantly nodded. Winter and Warden said they would follow, but Davide shook his head.
“Find a place to stay and buy the necessary supplies in advance. “I don’t know Warden, but Winter, you have money sense, so you’ll do well.”
“surely.”
Winter nodded without realizing it. It was obvious that Canis would only choose what he liked. Warden would quickly blow his money with a bucket.
“Uh. It’s not dangerous, is it?”
“uh. “It’s absolutely not dangerous.”
Winter kept asking if she was safe, as if she couldn’t help but worry. Davide, knowing that she was doing it for his own good, continued to give confident answers.
“I’ll be back in two hours.”
“… … Yes. Have a nice trip.”
Davide patted Winter’s shoulder a few times when she was scared, then turned around.
“Our winter~ Don’t worry too much~ I’m here~”
“… … That’s why I’m more worried.”
Winter pursed her lips at Canis’ playful words. Canis followed Davide, patting Winter’s head as if he found it cute.
“Where is Davi going?”
“Just follow me quietly.”
“I heard about it~ It’s not the Kargula family, right?”
“That’s right.”
Davide’s suspension is famous. It is the first classmate stabbing incident in the history of the Academy. As a nobleman well-informed, Canis mentioned the victim’s family.
“If I keep going like this, I’m going to get stabbed, so shouldn’t I at least bring a gift?”
“I’ve prepared it.”
As we continued on, we quickly arrived at our destination. It was a city built on relatively solid ground.
A large mansion appeared on the outskirts of the city. It was painted white to keep out the heat as much as possible.
“Kargula~ It’s been a while~”
“Have you ever met?”
“Because you’re a noble? “I’ve seen the Kargula matriarch~ She looks scary~”
A building slightly smaller than the academy dormitory. This place, which could hardly be called the family’s main building, was the Kargula family’s villa.
After answering Canis’ question, I headed straight to the front door. The gatekeeper guarding the main gate noticed the two and furrowed his brow.
“What business have you come here for?”
“I have come to meet the second master of the Kargula family.”
The gatekeeper who asked politely became alert. He aimed his sharply curved spear at them.
“Master is recuperating. “We don’t accept outsiders, so please go back.”
“Should you put down the window? My legs are shaking.”
Canis reacted before Davide to the clear warning. A brightly smiling Canis took a step forward and continued speaking.
“Then go back.”
“Davi~ Is that so?”
But the gatekeeper pushed the window further out. Canis’s eyes lit up and David took a step back.
Canis turned around and asked. Davide just shrugged his shoulders.
“Dabi? no way.”
Suddenly the gatekeeper frowned grimly. The look of wariness changed to a look of threat.
“Blue hair, tanned skin. “Surely you are Duhane’s firstborn?”
“Wow~ Dabi~ He’s so famous~”
The gatekeeper asked with a growl. His polite tone had disappeared and was filled with hostility. Kanis smirked at the quick change in attitude.
“That’s it. “Call your superiors.”
“Is this an order from Duhane, who dared to hurt the young master!”
The gatekeeper let out a loud roar at David’s insignificant remark. Now, the look of murderous intent made his skin tingle.
He was a talent too good to be used as a gatekeeper. Kanis, who was nodding his head from side to side, slowly increased his magical power.
“Tsk tsk. A lowly person is a lowly person. Your young master is going to die soon. Come out, I can handle it. No, I told you to call your superior. He’ll know.”
“Yes you bastard!”
The gatekeeper, who could no longer bear it, rushed forward with a violent thrust. The way he thrust his spear was fierce.
A slightly curved spear could cause a lot of damage both when thrust and when pulled.
But the gatekeeper’s spear did not reach David.
“Oh my~ Davi, if I wasn’t here~”
“stop.”
“… … I saved you, you know~”
Davide cut off Canis’s sly words and looked at the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was imprisoned in a crystal prison created by Canis.
The gatekeeper knocked on the crystal roughly. Davide, who thought that this level of commotion would cause a reaction inside, watched the scene as it was.
“… … “That’s rude.”
“Oh. You’re here. It’s been a while.”
A woman wearing a black hood appeared. She was sitting on the fence, clicking her tongue as she checked Davide.
Davide, who finally found a familiar face, smiled fiercely.
“You are the children of David and Ulbusis. What a strange combination. Why are you here?”
“It’s because of the deal.”
A woman with a very unpleasant look glided down the wall. The movements are those of a skilled assassin.
He was a character I had seen in the game. He was a vassal of the Kargula family and a named character who fought alongside me in the boss battle in Episode 3.
“… … “Obviously we decided to make contact first.”
“I came here because it was a mess. Guide me. Guide me to him. “I’ll make you wake up.”
“You’re crazy. What makes you so confident? “Are you so arrogant, believing in Ulbusis’ self-control?”
The woman furrowed her brow. She pulled out a strangely curved dagger from her waistband. Davide smirked and approached her.
“Do you know that it is Acid Gekko’s slime?”
“You brought something ridiculous.”
The woman withdrew her dagger at the words spoken quietly. A medicinal herb that can never be found in the desert.
Davide, who had just emerged from hibernation, calmly brought something that was difficult to obtain even with money.
“I’ll show you around. Don’t talk nonsense. I have guests.”
“Guest? What? Can’t I help it?”
Only after Davide took out the Acid Gecko mucus from his bosom did the woman lead him into the mansion. Davide tilted his head at the word guest, but followed the woman without saying a word.
“Let go of our gatekeeper.”
Canis snapped his fingers and the crystal prison disappeared into the ground.
The gatekeeper only glared and did nothing else. The group gradually disappeared into the mansion of the Kargula family, a prominent family in the desert.
