The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 71



Only Krnovel

The response to the priest’s vestment was positive, with Warden particularly pleased with its thermal insulation as well as its overall performance.

“a little. I think it’s excessive… … .”

Winter had some regrets about the design.

“Which part?”

“I’m a bit simple… … .”

The priest’s vestments I brought seemed a bit excessive for the simple Winter. The dull black color and gold decorations.

“surely.”

It looked good on Winter, who had a white face, but she felt very uncomfortable.

“Why~ I’m fine. “I want to make one for you too~”

“You’re not even part of our church.”

Canis, who had come to visit without us noticing, also responded positively. Canis, who had aristocratic tastes, especially liked the color combination of black and gold.

“I’ll write this. You guys should do it differently.”

However, he was still in the position of a cult leader. It was okay for him to wear the same clothes as other believers, but in this case, Winter strongly recommended it.

“That’s right. Other believers may just have symbols, but the leader is different.”

Simple Winter unusually emphasized authority. Worden also did not object much. You probably didn’t think anything of it in the first place.

“Dabi~ I don’t think he would be interested in that kind of thing~”

“Yes, but. Still, I really need it. Even if you wear separate clothes for everyday wear, you need one piece to show that kind of authority.”

We nodded roughly. It was also a task to persuade the stern-faced Winter.

“Okay then~ I’ll go~”

On rare occasions, Canis would wake up first. Canis, who was good at playing alone, would stay in one place for a long time even when no one paid attention to him.

I was curious, but I thought there was something to be done.

“No one~ will catch me~”

Kanis left the chapel, speaking cheerfully. Warden wasn’t interested in the first place, and neither was I.

Winter made a prickly face, but sighed as she looked at Canis’ smiling face. She realized it was a joke.

“Dabi~”

“why. “You want me to catch you?”

Canis, who had left the chapel, opened the door again and appeared. He frowned at her frantic appearance and asked cynically.

“No~ That’s not it~ A guest has arrived~”

Kanis didn’t seem to be really upset, and he didn’t show any regret.

Instead, she led the tall woman behind her into the chapel.

“long time no see.”

“Oh, hello, how have you been?”

A plain-looking vice-captain with black hair tied back appeared. Instead of the uniform he always wore, he was dressed in a very comfortable outfit.

As always, he greeted me with a gentle smile, and Winter was the first to greet me brightly.

“Didn’t you go to work today?”

“It’s a vacation that comes once a month.”

The vice-captain had an extremely happy face. For office workers, vacation was worth it.

The only question I have is why I only have vacation once a month and why I came here on that precious vacation day.

“Vacation once a month.”

“Yes.”

“It must be that valuable.”

“I haven’t had any vacation for the past three months.”

I felt a bit salty for some reason. The position of Vice-Captain of the Imperial Knights was quite busy.

But the royal family wasn’t that inflexible. It was a good job with a good working environment and decent salary.

“As expected, the vice-captain is busy.”

“Hehe. “It’s all thanks to student Davide.”

The reason he is busy enough to seriously consider escaping is because he is the princess’s confidant. There must have been a lot of orders from the princess recently.

In addition, as a princess, she secretly participated in this desert expedition. The vice-captain after him cannot express his hard work enough.

Compassion poured in.

“I’m just saying this just in case, are you the princess?”

I got straight to the point. I wanted to let her rest as quickly as possible.

The vice-captain opened his eyes wide for a moment and then narrowed them gently.

“As expected, you are quick-witted. Yes, that’s right.”

The atmosphere in the chapel grew cold as the princess was mentioned. Winter looked worried, and Canis’s eyes glowed with an uneasy glow.

“What are you going to do this time? Are you going to refuse?”

The vice-captain asked with a face full of joy. I answered with a smirk.

“As a citizen of the Empire, how could I refuse Your Highness the Princess’s call?”

“Haha. You’re being mean.”

The vice-captain’s smile became even brighter. I just shrugged.

“I wanted to enjoy tea with the Winter students, but it was a shame.”

“Oh, no. “There are many opportunities.”

Winter also made a regretful face at the vice-captain’s regretful words. I looked at the bond between the two that had naturally formed, intriguingly.

“Yes, there are many opportunities.”

The vice-captain stood up with a slightly bitter smile. I also got up after her.

“Then shall we go? I am sure you will be waiting.”

“I can’t believe something like that.”

“You don’t know that.”

The vice-captain led me with a meaningful smile.

* * *

Princess Eliza Atticus was shocked when she saw the young man just opening the door and coming in.

She also knew that in places where Nara is not present, even Nara is cursed. It’s not that I can’t understand it. Because there is no rule that satisfies everyone.

“hmm.”

Still, maybe this kid has a bit of a problem. Although it is said to be forced, it is still a position called by the princess of the empire.

Even if you don’t like it, it’s right to hide your expression.

“You. Davide.”

“yes. “The princess.”

“Your expression looks like a rhinoceros with a horn on its butt.”

What nonsense. However, the spirit and spirit of the person who said it was so great that I couldn’t think about it.

“It looks like the princess is nervous at the thought of meeting her royal gaze. “Please be kind to me.”

Davide hastily adjusted his expression at the words that felt quite harsh. The princess brightened her eyes.

“I have been called… … .”

“First of all, sit down.”

Davide obediently sat down in the seat the princess had offered him. The princess let out a hollow laugh.

She’s a funny girl. Even though I only saw her once, she was still the princess of the empire. Her calm composure, like calm waves, was concerning.

“You. Davide. Long time no see.”

“That’s right. “The princess.”

He doesn’t seem to be trying to receive anything, but he doesn’t seem to be trying to take anything away from him either. He’s a really strange guy.

The princess commented and enjoyed the refreshments Sheila brought.

‘You’re fearless.’

Davide, who had seen the princess touch it first, also reached out for the luxurious sweets. It was an action that did not even think about poisoning.

“You never get tired of it.”

“?”

The princess, who was wondering if she believed in herself, soon shook her head. She was either just not thinking or not worried. One of the two.

Probably the latter. We knew from reports that David had been entering the poisoned swamp without any protective gear.

“Is it resistant to poison?”

“I’m not an introvert. I do resist.”

Is it an artifact? Isn’t that a truly desirable ability? Davide answered the question and immediately put the next cookie in his mouth.

“It looks like it fits your mouth.”

Davide couldn’t deny Sheila’s words. It was so delicious that it hurt his pride. Is this the dessert that the royal family eats?

“This guy has good speed.”

The princess tilted her head in another sense. She was incredibly observant. She was eating dessert as unobtrusively as possible. She was mindful of etiquette, but she never gave up on dessert.

This was new in its own way. Excluding certain cases, there are two main attitudes towards the princess.

They are either too stiff to react properly or they are being rude for the sake of profit. Of course, there are various reactions, but they do not differ greatly from these two.

But this one wasn’t like that. It was the same in the desert.

“… … Yes. If I want to use you, there are things I will have to endure.”

“If you let me go, there’s nothing left to take.”

“No. I’ll just bite you and hang on like a dog.”

The princess snorted at David’s words, who responded quickly as if it was the right time.

“There is a reason why I called you. Can you guess?”

“I do not know.”

“Really?”

Davide nodded. The expressions of the vice-captain and even the princess suddenly cooled. Davide looked puzzled at the sudden momentum.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“I guess my time in the desert wasn’t all that meaningful. I had a really fun and informative time.”

“… … I made a mistake. “It was also the most enjoyable day of my life.”

The princess looked sullenly at Davide and opened her mouth.

“Help with the war.”

Davide wiggled one eyebrow and tilted his head. Davide expected the princess to ask about her ‘teacher.’

There was no topic that was as important or intense. But the princess asked about a different topic.

“You mean war?”

The war the princess mentioned. There are a few episodes that deal with war, but there is only one war at this time.

“It’s a war between the fishmen.”

“You already know that.”

They were looking at each other as if they couldn’t figure out what was going on. David put off the story he had prepared in advance.

“Are you thirteen?”

“Yeah. It’s 13.”

I calmly admitted it. A fight between fishmen. A war against rebels against the existing dynasty.

I thought of the princess I had met at the temple. Her smooth and moist texture was so addictive that I still remember it.

Since I had grown attached to them, I hoped that the dynasty would win if possible. That’s why I gave the three of them their imprints.

“How much is it, specifically?”

“Well. We are secretly providing support, but it seems that it is difficult. Originally, war is a battle of numbers. The dynasty may have excellent strategists, but so are the enemies. Then, we have no choice but to fight with numbers, and we are at a disadvantage.”

Of course, it was dangerous, but that was not the reason for calling Davide.

Is Davide’s value worth changing the course of the war? At least Davide himself didn’t think so.

“As you know, I’m a kid with no experience of war, and I also got terrible grades in related classes… … .”

“Oh. I don’t believe you. Davide.”

Davide realized that his reason was beginning to give up something.

“But. How can you tell me about war… …”

Let’s get straight to the point. Davide got straight to the point. The princess nodded to Sheila, handing over her teacup in a dainty manner.

“You accepted three people as believers at the Sea Temple.”

“yes.”

“They are contributing greatly to the war effort. Oh, except the princess, of course.”

David nodded. He immediately understood what she was trying to say. Sheila’s smile grew wider, as if she liked that clever look.

Of course, the princess’s expression as she watched this turned a little odd.

“So. Are you saying that the abilities gained by becoming a believer in the Anaye sect are of great help in war?”

“Yes.”

“So are you saying that we should go there ourselves and increase the number of believers?”

“right. “You have quite a bit of cleverness.”

Only then did the princess participate in the story. Davide cupped his chin and thought deeply.

If the number of believers increases, of course it is a good thing. The problem is how long they are held there. Davide never thought of it that easily.

‘It’s still early.’

If you just listen to what he says, it seems like you can just go and nominate him as a believer and leave right away. But how easy is war?

It was obvious that if I went, I would somehow get involved or become involved. Then you will only waste time and suffer.

It’s not a bad thing to extract compensation in that process, but the problem was time.

“Good. “I just happened to have something to suggest.”

Davide took out the documents from his bosom. Davide is busy in his own way. He has just finished episode 3.

There was not much time left until the arduous pilgrimage to the Holy Land, so there was a lot to prepare. That was why he chose the next option.

The princess quickly looked at the documents without hiding her expression of curiosity. Her stern expression became increasingly subtle.

“Military bomb?”

The contents of the document were simple. They wanted to sell military bombs ‘only’ to the Imperial Knights. The circumstances and method of making them, as well as their utility, were described in detail.

“How strange.”

It looks like he prepared it in advance because he said, “That’s right.”

However, this was an opportunity to implicitly ask for the teacher’s arm that David gave to him for a long-term mission.

“David, this is really fun.”

To aim for that, I deliberately brought up another topic, but even that was accepted.

The princess handed the documents to Sheila and looked at Davide.

“If the contents of the document are true, this is a pretty good item. “Are you saying you’re only going to supply something like that to the imperial family?”

“yes.”

“You can achieve much greater wealth.”

“Money is going to accumulate anyway. I decided it would be better to get away from regulations and hassle.”

Sheila exclaimed softly. What was written on the document was a glass bead that frequently appeared in David’s battles.

It created an explosion of electric current and inflicted powerful damage and status ailments. In addition, it is a good item that causes secondary damage through glass fragments.

Even its size was small and light, making it easy to carry.

“surely.”

Since it’s an electric current, I thought it was an ability related to the religious order, but I never thought it could be used by anyone in mass production.

“It would definitely be a headache if something like this were to spread on the market.”

The princess thought it was quite extraordinary. It’s a weapon that mercenaries would be crazy about. It’s not innovative, but it’s accessible and has endless uses.

If you put it on the market, you could make a lot of money, but instead, you chose the royal family. If that’s the case, I can’t help but ask why.

“So I have a question. You, Davide. Why on earth did you want to distribute it only to the imperial family?”

The princess, who had a straightforward personality, immediately asked what she was curious about. Davide paused for a moment and scratched her head.

“I know the effectiveness of this. I know some people who would be crazy about this. If that happens, the imperial family will most likely suffer great damage.”

“hmm?”

“For example, the items made by the church end up attacking the imperial family. If such a situation were to arise, Her Majesty the Princess would step forward, and I would like to avoid such a situation. Above all, I have no hobby of getting stabbed with something I made.”

The princess, who had heard up to that point, glanced at Sheila. Sheila nodded and answered instead.

At this point, there is no need for David to go himself. If he continues to supply this to the fishermen, the tide of the war will change.

A situation where both parties benefit. I am a little suspicious and unreliable, but there is something good right in front of me, but missing it is also problematic.

“Let me try to trust you this once.”

“… … “I don’t think I’ve ever told any lies.”

“Is it a lie? That dubious attitude, and even the source of the information. I’m dying to know about everything.”

“Not believing is one thing… … .”

“noisy. “I have no hobby of getting stabbed in the back.”

Davide looked resentful at the response that he would definitely hit the back of the head.
