The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 230



231 – Talent Recruitment

Confsion’s assault on the capital left numerous dead and injured. Residential areas of Collingham, which were directly affected, were rendered impassable.

It wasn’t just the cold autumn wind that made citizens tighten their coats. This is because the capital guard knights, who were unable to stop the attack, turned on their lights and walked around the streets with sharp eyes looking for any suspicious people.

There were several cases where people randomly stopped passing by and checked their identities. There was a rumor going around that anyone who made eye contact would be interrogated.

The official name of this incident, which left 72 people dead, hundreds injured, and approximately 1,300 homeless, was chosen as the [Chaos Attack].

There was no way Bella, with the wisdom of a snake, would miss this opportunity. Rumors spread throughout the continent that Roel was a hero who prevented Confsion’s crazy plan to massacre the citizens of the capital.

In addition, Bella officially declared that she would build new houses free of charge for those who lost their homes with the Crown Princess’s personal property.

In addition, he moved quickly and gathered the magic tower heads of each magic tower in one place to receive a promise of support for the rapid reconstruction of the ruined streets.

The church connected to Bella also did not miss this opportunity to praise Bella and Roel and raise their voice of anger at the church’s evil deeds. The church decided to officially label anyone associated with the denomination a heretic.

People avoid things that are unsettling and ominous. It was my instinct to want to deny it, stay away from it, and forget as much as possible about bad memories.

As if aiming for that point, huge rumors began to pour in, enough to quell anxiety about the Chaos Cult’s attack. The appearance of the youngest transcendental hero, the good deeds of the Crown Princess Bella, the meeting of the Magic Tower Lord, etc… Topics to calm anxiety were endlessly spread by word of mouth.

Roel initially attracted attention as the youngest athlete due to his performance in triathlon. He seemed to have gained complete wings through this work, and prestigious nobles were rushing to send him letters saying they wanted to support him.

Thanks to the public opinion campaign, Bella, along with Roel, was looked upon as a hero by the citizens of the capital. Some even went so far as to say without even trying to hide that they wished to become emperor as soon as possible. Few people knew that some of them were members of the Modest guild who received money from Bella.

Now I had to accept that the flow of the novel had completely changed. Even Roel was a huge chunk of variable that could possibly be a regressor.

I was planning on hinting at Roel, but if I acted hastily, I might get repercussions, and I was so busy these days that it was hard to even see him at the academy.

A week after the Chaos Cult attack.

After the promotion exam was completed, the paid exam began as scheduled, but fortunately, none of the members had to take the paid exam.

Students who were not eligible for paid exams left the academy every day because there were no lectures and helped with the maintenance of the ruined residential area. With so many people and magic attached, within a week the residential area was in ruins and there was no trace of it.

Luna received perfect scores in both practical and written tests through a written re-examination. She became the top student in the magic department she had always wanted.

Luna, who was shedding tears of joy after the grading, was very cute. Of course, as the head of the combat department, I maintained first place.

It happened that I finished the written test quickly by using my intangible breathing as much as possible to solve the questions about Roel.

Although winning first place in the promotion test does not mean that one becomes a top or second top student, the three students who got the best grades in each division were each able to obtain one wish ticket.

Luna decided to leave the dormitory with a wish ticket. As she said before, she seems to have decided to live together in a hideout beyond the island.

I thought about a sweet honeymoon home where the two of us could stay alone in a hideout, but the other club members all ended up in top 3 and got the right to wish. All members came into the hideout.

Rakar, a diligent student, is second in the combat division after me. (Navier was 3rd place.) Kane was 3rd place in the Alchemy Department with pull-ups, and surprisingly, Aria was 2nd place in the Magic Department.

Not even third place, but second place. Is there such a lack of talent at the Ministry of Magic? At least I was relieved that Aria came in first place.

The use of my right to wish had already been decided. Eunice’s special transfer. Because I knew that I could obtain the wish right in the promotion exam, I offered it to Eunice in advance.

I could let them know this by letter, but I thought it would be better to visit them in person to show my sincerity in recruiting talent, so I went out over the weekend.

I thought about going on a trip with my teammates for the first time in a while, but I had no choice because it was dinner tonight at a restaurant that Aria had made a reservation a few weeks ago.

Luna seemed to want to follow me, but I had something to ask Eunice and it was a hassle to return right after work, so I decided to go alone.

After leaving the academy, I headed straight to the portal station. The destination is the western part of the continent. It was El Dorado, where the Golden King resided. There is Elasium Academy, which Eunice attends.

After switching portals a few times, we arrived at our destination, El Dorado. I left the station building with some expectations of what the city, described as a beautiful and enchanting city in the novel, would look like.

“and… .”

Without realizing it, I let out an expression of admiration with a stupid expression on my face. People passing by shrugged their shoulders with proud expressions at my sincere admiration. He seemed proud of the city he lived in.

If the capital city felt like a sophisticated city, El Dorado felt like a Mediterranean city. The elaborate and beautifully carved buildings were symmetrical, and there were tall buildings that were difficult to find even in the capital.

The city itself felt like a huge temple. Wherever you look, there is beauty and grandeur. Is this what it feels like to be in Rome alone? Suddenly, I regretted not coming with Luna. It would have been fun just to walk down the street together.

As I was looking around in a daze, I belatedly remembered that sightseeing wasn’t my goal, so I asked a passerby and walked in the direction of Elasium Academy.

***

Elasium Academy had a separate visiting room where visitors waited. Transcendence Academy had a huge library that any citizen of the capital could use, and because it was open to the public, there was no separate visiting room.

As I was stroking the luxurious white round table, Eunice, who had received a call to visit, appeared in the visiting room. Although it had been almost two months since they had met, the girl with orange curly hair and freckles looked as cheerful as ever.

Eunice asked, sitting down on a chair with a loud sound.

“What, you came to Elasium Academy without contacting me? “What would you have done if you had gone out?”

That is correct. If that were the case, I would have still been waiting here. I lightly scratched my head.

“Sorry, I just came here because I had some news I wanted to tell you quickly. “I wanted to tell you in person rather than through a letter.”

Eunice’s eyes sparkled at my words.

“The opportunity to transfer to a special school that was offered last time has come. “If you agree, you will be a Transcendence student starting from your second year.”

Eunice’s eyes were wide and she bit her lip. For some reason, the way he rolls his eyes here and there shows that he still hasn’t made up his mind.

Thinking that it was a good thing I had come, I opened my mouth, thinking about what came to mind while I was waiting.

“Are you aware of the Chaos Cult attack that occurred in the capital?”

“Of course I know. There was an uproar here too. “No one expected the capital to be attacked.”

To Eunice, who said that, I spoke in a low voice, as if whispering a secret.

“Shall I tell you the real reason why the Chaos Cult attacked the capital?”

Eunice swallowed. I guess I was interested in an intimate secret. Eunice acted calm, but couldn’t hide the perk of her ears visible through her orange curly hair.

“What, what… ?”

As she stammered, I motioned for her to bring her ear closer. As Eunice looked around and came close to my ear, I whispered softly.

“My brother. It was aimed at Roel. “With the purpose of killing the youngest transcendental before he grows up.”

Eunice’s eyes widened. I continued.

“Actually, Roel killed an executive of the Chaos Church during summer vacation. Thanks to that, I, his younger brother, were also targeted. Luna, one of her members, was even attacked at the academy. “Luckily she survived.”

“Jeong, really… ?”

Seeing Eunice’s surprised eyes, I spoke with a stern expression.

“Actually, even if it’s not Roel, the Chaos Church is aiming for my life.”

“Uh, why… ?”

Eunice’s eyes shine brightly. Knowing the truth that others do not know is the ultimate happiness for a person with dark tastes. Eunice is that kind of gloomy person.

I know that, so I brought this up on purpose. Eunice was leaning her upper body towards me, ready to jump over the table. I leaned back in my chair with a smile.

“I can’t tell you why. “Because I can’t trust you because you’re not even a member yet.”

Eunice’s face, which had been full of anticipation, was distorted with disappointment. As expected, cutting skills are essential for writers. And for cutting new moves, proper throwing of rice cakes is essential.

I spoke as low as I could.

“It’s a huge mess that involves the Chaos Church, the church, the emperor, and even the saint. “You can’t easily tell secrets to outsiders.”

I could see Eunice’s neck twitching incessantly. Judging by the fact that his tongue frequently sticks out between his lips, it seems that his tactful instincts were triggered by my words. There is no one who will not be moved by a huge event that can shake the world.

Eunice noticed my happy gaze, cleared her throat, and narrowed her eyes.

“In such a huge space, there is a student club with only first-year students… ? lie!”

Even as she said that, Eunice’s voice sounded more excited than usual. Eunice was a brilliant tactician, but she was not an actor.

“Really. And if you join the club, I will tell you my secret that I haven’t told anyone. And I can assure you with my life that my secret will make everything you’ve ever known seem insignificant.”

It is foolish to hide information from a tactician who reads the situation. If Eunice became a member, I planned to confess my possession.

Eunice frowned as hard as she could at my firm voice. Eunice chewed her lips for a while and finally sighed.

“Why do you need me so much? I’m just a first year student making crude plans… You will definitely be disappointed in me. Wow, was it just this much? do.”

I immediately shook my head at Eunice’s uncertain voice. That can’t be possible.

Eunice is one of the three major bookmakers in the novel I set up. It’s not like a lottery ticket with a chance of winning if you scratch it, but it’s like a condolence prize with a pin number written on it. This means that it will definitely benefit me.

“You are the greatest tactician I know. As I said last time, if I have you, I will be able to save the world in a better way.”

After I finished my confident words, Eunice raised her hands and held her head, groaned and thought for a while, and eventually nodded weakly.

“Ha, I can’t help it if you want me that much… . It’s not common to get a chance to transfer to Transcendence, the continent’s best academy. I also know that this is an incredible opportunity that will never be seen again for a commoner like me. Okay, I’ll transfer to another school. And please take care of yourselves in the future, Manager.”

Eunice grinned and held out her hand to me. I smiled genuinely happy and clasped my hands.

“Welcome to the Messiah Club.”
