Episode 143 45. Take full responsibility

One.

The next morning.

The central area of ​​the academy, where the auditorium is located, was crowded with students more than ever.

“Since there are many applicants, we will hold a lottery.”

“Please show an orderly appearance, as befitting students of the proud academy.”

“The draw will be conducted in the order of arrival! If you are caught swindling, you will be disqualified from the draw… … .”

As if to prove that Caron’s fame was sky-high, the area in front of the auditorium was packed with students.

The students’ faces were filled with anticipation at being able to hear a special lecture from a hero.

And there was someone who looked at that sight with a deep sigh,

“Tsk. This won’t do.”

It was Caron.

“How are you? Can’t you feel how much our students have been waiting for you, Karon?”

The principal rubbed his palms and spoke to Caron.

Caron shook his head as he listened to the principal’s flattery.

“It’s not good.”

“yes?”

“This isn’t what I wanted.”

A scoundrel whose name alone makes everyone tremble.

At this point, it seemed like I had come too far to be that kind of a loser.

But Caron wasn’t too discouraged.

Even if the sky falls, there is a hole to emerge from.

If we can eliminate our competitors early through this special lecture, that alone will be a great achievement.

‘The Halo guy will have high expectations of me too.’

The biggest disappointment is when someone who was originally doing something special makes a mistake.

It’s not too late.

If you carry out your plan step by step, you will be able to become the greatest scoundrel in the empire someday.

“Oh, that’s right, principal.”

“Yes, Caron.”

“Isn’t it enough to be the founding member of the rehabilitation club?”

“Yes! It has passed the criteria for creation. We have taken steps to create it as soon as the special lecture is over.”

The principal thought back to the ‘club list’ that Caron had brought him this morning.

A list of notorious bullies from each grade.

I don’t know why those who trusted only my family applied to join the ‘Rehabilitation Club’, but one thing was certain.

『An unknown assailant has broken into the dormitory. Headmaster, please call the Imperial Guard immediately and conduct a thorough investigation into this serious incident… . . 』

It is definitely related to the story told by the dormitory supervisors.

Of course, the principal lightly dismissed the story.

What does it matter who the culprit is?

It doesn’t matter what the outcome was.

‘My life already depends on this person.’

The only rope left is now Caron.

After successfully completing the special lecture, how about having a good talk with the Duke of Reston?

Re-election was not just a dream.

While the principal was lost in sweet dreams, Caron looked at the students with a blank expression.

‘… … This is strange.’

Today is a very happy day as we wipe out the Academy’s scum.

But why is that?

Something has been off-putting since earlier.

It was as if something was constantly nagging at me.

“I slept well.”

After beating up the dorm bullies, I slept soundly for eight hours.

It means that your physical condition is too good to be simply a matter of your mood.

From long experience, there is usually a reason for this unpleasant feeling.

Caron nodded slowly and asked the principal a question.

“Murders are happening all over the place in the capital city, is the Academy okay?”

“In the first place, the Academy is a place that no one except faculty or students can enter without permission. Also, with the exception of some authorized knights, weapons are not even allowed.”

The Academy is located next to the Imperial Palace and the Magic Tower, the most important facilities in the capital.

As the principal said, it had to be a place that was thorough when it came to security.

“Since its establishment, it has never been exposed to any external threat.”

“Just because a shield has never been pierced doesn’t mean it will never be pierced. There’s a reason why there’s a saying that people are insensitive to safety.”

I’ll give it a hundred concessions, but it could just be my mood.

But it would have been better to have made this clear in the first place.

Caron continued speaking slowly, looking at the students entering the auditorium.

“How many people have entered the auditorium so far?”

“There are about a thousand people.”

“They said the auditorium can accommodate 1,500 people, so I guess about a third of them must have fit in.”

“Yes. How about you go in and prepare for the special lecture, Mr. Caron?”

“It’s not my turn right away anyway, so there’s no need to rush, right?”

We’ve brought a special guest for today.

A guy I met when I came to the capital four years ago.

Since I had decided to leave the first half of the special lecture to him, there was no need to rush in.

It was good to make sure everything was clear.

Especially, the more uncomfortable this feeling is.

Charon nodded and immediately summoned Pluto.

Myaaaahh …

“Please, Pluto.”

Pluto nodded slightly at Charon’s command, then quickly dove into the students’ shadows.

A magical appearance.

The principal let out a small exclamation of admiration at the sight and asked.

“Did you learn magic too?”

“It’s about the same. Anyway, principal? You go in first. I’m going to stay here and watch the students a little more before I go in.”

“That can’t be… … .”

The principal met Caron’s murderous gaze, then nodded, shuddering.

“……All right.”

There must be a reason for that.

The principal didn’t want to offend Caron. So he bowed politely to Caron and quickly walked into the auditorium.

Caron was left alone like that.

Guillotine’s voice echoed in Caron’s head.

-I don’t feel any dark magic, Master.

“That’s the problem.”

-why?

“Because it’s a threat we didn’t expect.”

Suddenly, a male student came into Caron’s sight.

Awkward posture.

Even looking around incessantly with an anxious expression.

Caron looked at the suspicious male student and muttered quietly.

“Let’s check.”

Is it just my imagination, or is it a new type of threat?

Caron nodded and immediately moved.

2.

The students who entered the auditorium expecting a special lecture from the young hero were first greeted by a very strange sight.

That’s right,

“… …What are they?”

“Huh? That’s him. A fourth-year trash Bourbon.”

“There’s also a human species called Garfield?”

It was a scene where the most trashy people in the academy were sitting at the front of the auditorium.

What was even more shocking was their mangled hair.

The appearance of all the problem children, so-called Naero, frozen stiff with their heads shaved.

It must have been a truly shocking scene for the other students.

In that chaotic atmosphere, all the students took their seats, and soon the principal walked out onto the stage.

The principal looked around at the students with a satisfied expression.

“Good morning, students. It is my great honor to introduce these people to you today.”

The principal’s voice resonated throughout the auditorium through the loudspeaker circle installed on the stage.

“Before we welcome you, I would like to tell you a story about one of the most famous graduates in the capital. He is the rising philanthropist, Mr. de Gaulle Kian.”

Clap clap clap.

Amidst the students’ thunderous applause, a man came up on stage with an awkward smile.

De Gaulle Kean.

A scoundrel from Count Kian’s family who was indiscriminately assaulted by Caron four years ago.

He was once called the worst trash in the capital, but now he is carrying out numerous charity works.

“Nice to meet you, juniors.”

De Gaulle looked at his juniors with a bright smile.

Then, immediately, cheers rang out.

De Gaulle was ranked first in a vote for the ‘Most Proud Senior’ among the students of the Academy.

Her pale teeth stood out brightly against her darkly tanned skin.

“I am still the worst human being, so I stubbornly refused the Academy’s invitation… … but the person who changed my life asked me to do so, so I came here.”

De Gaulle Quaian, who was always in the top five when choosing the worst problem child in the history of the Academy.

The sight of a problem child who returned as a philanthropist was bound to be refreshing for the students.

De Gaulle looked at the faces of his juniors and repeated to himself. And then.

Squeak.

As the auditorium door closed, a man walked in.

Even from a distance, I could tell who the man was.

Caron Reston, the man who got him to this point.

‘If you disappoint me, I die.’

An old memory came to mind without me realizing it.

A past where I lived like a loser.

That person is the one who guided me, who was ignorant of the fear of the world, to the right path.

A madman who beat up his unconscious self while feeding him potions.

Of course, fear comes before gratitude.

I still have nightmares about that day four years ago.

Because if I make even one mistake here, I don’t know how that crazy guy will change.

That’s why de Gaulle.

“There is only one thing I want to tell you today. It is that you must live a life without shame. Let me tell you my story briefly… … .”

I continued telling the story while sweating profusely.

You must not go against Charon’s wishes.

Because if we went against it, we didn’t know what kind of disaster would strike this place.

“… … All humans make mistakes as they live. While some people learn from their mistakes, there are also foolish people who do not reflect on their mistakes and continue to repeat them. I used to be one of the latter.”

De Gaulle’s voice carried throughout the auditorium.

But de Gaulle’s gaze was still fixed on Caron.

Did you feel de Gaulle’s gaze?

Caron waved at de Gaulle as if he was happy to see him, and even smiled.

It was a smile that naturally brought me to my senses.

De Gaulle raised his fist toward his juniors and began to speak passionately.

“But my life changed after I met a benefactor. Through the pain of breaking my bones, I was able to be reborn as a new person! People don’t change easily? That’s a lie. People can change easily. Rehabilitation? It’s not difficult!”

The atmosphere started to flow strangely.

As de Gaulle gave his passionate speech, the thirty spectators sitting in the front row simultaneously stood up and began to applaud.

“Revival! Revival!”

“Let’s live well!”

“Love your neighbor!”

A slogan that was simultaneously shouted by thirty trash representing the Academy.

The students around them opened their eyes wide and looked at the trash at the absurd sight.

What on earth happened to them last night?

“Everyone! If you do something bad, you will be punished someday!”

The auditorium was instantly transformed into a meeting place for a cult.

De Gaulle, absorbed in the atmosphere, gestured to the boy sitting in the front row.

Then a boy with a swollen face came up on stage.

The boy’s identity is Angel Leroy, who was slapped by Caron yesterday.

De Gaulle pointed to Engel’s ball and shouted.

“This is the punishment. Mr. Engel will become a new person through this work! Do you not have the confidence to change easily? Don’t worry. We all know the method! Just get hit! After a few hits, a human being will come to his senses!”

Can this really be called a special lecture?

The faces of the principal and Professor Julis, who were listening to de Gaulle’s lecture, turned pale.

They could all sense it.

‘Severance pay… How much will the retirement pay be?’

‘Honey, I’m sorry. This is how I became unemployed.’

Even the students began to roar at this madness.

But the commotion was short-lived, as de Gaulle pointed to a man with his hand and shouted:

“Let me introduce to you my life’s benefactor and truest teacher! The hero of the empire! Charon Reston! Please welcome him with cheers!”

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

Caron finally came up on stage amidst thunderous cheers.

The students who had been confused until just a moment ago began to cheer and applaud at Caron’s appearance.

“Hello, students of the Academy.”

As he came up on stage, Caron looked around with a smile and spoke to them in a soft voice.

“I want you to listen to what I have to say from now on.”

After a brief pause, Caron warned the students.

“The auditorium is now closed. You must obey me to save your lives.”

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
