Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

121 – Tomb of the First Emperor (2)

Whiiing-.

A chill engulfed my skin.

Amelia, walking in front of her, plunged her sword into her pile of eyes.

Charlotte raised her fist high as she watched the children following her.

Amelia scolded her, rolling her eyes.

“There is no way you can understand Windsor’s sign language.”

“Huh? This is universal.”

Amelia sighed.

“I think I would believe that…… “

Seeing that the students all stopped, Amelia bit her lip.

“hehehe.”

Charlotte laughed because Amelia was cute.

“Yeah- by the way.”

Charlotte looked around with her characteristic bright expression.

Wherever you look, there is only a snowstorm.

“I got lost in a good way.”

“… ….”

Charlotte winked in one of his eyes.

Amelia subtly avoided her gaze.

“Joe, I’m just going back a little bit. This way is right.”

“Hmm. Maybe it’s because it’s what Gilchi, the northern representative, says, so I can’t trust it that much.”

“I don’t want to hear only from Charles!”

“Oh, is that so?”

Amelia clenched her fists as she gritted her molars.

Charlotte was famous for being a ‘idiot’ even in the Knights of Windsor. To put it bluntly, even in the annual evaluation of the Knights, ‘unquestionable skill. It even had a short but clear phrase, “His hair is a garden of flowers.”

‘By the way, it’s a big deal.’

Amelia opened her eyes.

I’ve been denying it, but she seems lost.

To make matters worse, it was difficult to secure visibility due to a blizzard from earlier.

No matter how much I strengthened my eyes with magic, I couldn’t see any buildings.

‘…… I can’t tell you honestly. Then, great confusion will arise.’

I took a look at the nervous students.

Although it is protected by Ella’s magic, there must be a limit to the amount of Sofia’s magical power.

‘Why am I…… ‘

Is even such a simple task difficult?

Amelia let out a feeble sigh, but slapped herself with both hands on her cheeks and brought her to her senses.

“Charles. Is there any way?”

“You know what? Ame.”

Charlotte grinned.

“I am Gilchi too.”

“…… “

Amelia’s shoulders drooped.

“But, at times like this, the best thing is to follow the signs of the monsters.”

“A sign of a monster?”

“This is the method I use often. Because monsters usually have the instinct to attack humans.”

Amelia nodded her head gravely and drew her sword.

“I will detect it.”

“You don’t even have to detect it.”

The moment he tried to spread his magic lightly and widely.

Amelia realized what Charlotte meant.

“It’s right in front of you.”

“Maybe this area is a village.”

Amelia shouted at her students.

“There is a monster! Everyone please be careful!”

The students got rowdy, but calmed down quickly, as if proving that they hadn’t listened to the last drill.

Hersy ran to Amelia.

“Amelia. Can I help?”

“Hersey, please keep an eye out for fearful students leaving.”

“Yes!”

Hersy nodded without hesitation.

“Kooooo!”

Not far away, a troll shot Peer.

Students with low mana were stiff and unable to move.

“Ice Trolls.”

Amelia’s eyes sank.

Kung, Kung-!

I heard the sound of running with a heavy body.

It weighs so much that the ground shakes.

Amelia lowered her stance.

“Can I help you?”

Charlotte tilted her head.

Amelia said firmly.

“No need-!”

The moment Amelia rushes forward.

Charlotte lightly stamped his foot.

Tung-!

As the shock wave spread, the bare face of the snowy field was revealed.

Her vision cleared and she could see Amelia swinging her sword in her clear trajectory.

“Wow.”

The students who saw it were mesmerized.

Trolls were high-level monsters that required four ordinary knights to join them.

I know Ice Trolls are stronger than that.

However, Amelia was trampling on such an ice troll.

Exactly twice.

Amelia slashed her ice troll with two blows.

“The dimension is different… “

Following someone’s murmur, the sound of swallowing was heard one after another.

If they all rushed, would they be able to subdue the ice trolls?

I wasn’t sure.

“As expected, Amelia-sama.”

Hersy nodded his head as if it were natural.

The fox, resting on his shoulder, landed lightly on the ground.

“Miho? Any problem?”

[The owner is calling. I think I should go.]

To Hercy, Miho was a precious friend and the only link she had with Ruid.

‘Someday… I’ll have to give it back.’

Of course.

Miho is Ruid’s familiar-

Recently, she and Louis had an estranged relationship.

But Hersy said with a smile without showing off.

“Go carefully.”

[Hercy.]

Miho spilled something about her in a bleak tone.

When you think her profile is cool because she’s an arctic fox.

[Beware of Sophia. And, if you feel the slightest danger, call my name out loud. I will come to save you even if you hate me.]

**

“Charlotte’s guess was correct. Go in the direction the Ice Troll was going, and I see a person.”

Amelia let out a sigh of relief.

Earlier, I really wanted to know what would happen.

If she had stayed in the snowy field for a long time, Sophia’s magical power would have gone down in no time.

The northern part is also in its own way, so the climate is different.

It’s still cold now, but the fierce snowstorm like before didn’t blow away.

“We have reached the village! Everyone, please remember the precautions I mentioned earlier.”

Amelia told the students.

Precautions are as follows.

One, never treat people carelessly.

Two, if you encounter even a small problem, report it to yourself unconditionally.

Third, refrain from arbitrary actions.

The students nodded their heads with their eyes shining.

“Yes!”

“I will not cause any inconvenience!”

‘… What. He listens well to something.’

Some are even sending eyes of respect.

It wasn’t like this before… Thinking that good is good, she went to town.

By the way-

“It wasn’t a village.”

The place we arrived at was a military barracks.

The flag representing the Duke of Windsor fluttered high. About 15 to 20 knights were encamped.

“Huh? Is it forward training?”

A knight hurriedly ran to Charlotte, who had doubts.

Startled to see her Amelia, he knelt down on one knee.

“Loyalty to the noble. This is Vincent, the leader of the third group of the 2nd Knights of Windsor.”

Amelia said with a big smile.

“There is a lot of hardship. Wake up.”

“Yes! Thank you.”

It was only then that he said hello to Charlotte.

“No problem during the mission! Thank you for your hard work!”

Since Vincent was in front of a high-ranking superior, he was in the most tense state of his life.

“Hello.”

Charlotte patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

She is the vice-captain in charge of the entire Knights of Windsor, but unfortunately she did not know the names and faces of all the knights.

That’s because there are over a thousand knights in Windsor. Considering that there were between 3,000 and 5,000 knights of the empire ruling 1/3 of the continent, it was a huge number for a duke to own.

“So? What mission are you on?”

“I was cleaning up the monsters around the ruins by order of the Duke!”

“Oh, that’s right. So where are you?”

Vincent was a bit taken aback when asked where he was, but he answered right away.

“This is the western outskirts of the 1st line of defense!”

“… Coke.”

Amelia cleared her throat and turned her head away.

“Wow… not even a line You missed it a long time. If I had continued like this, I would have gone to another country.”

In the southwest of the empire is the Kingdom of Parmus. Of course, no matter how much he walked, he never got there, but Charlotte was just exaggerating.

However, the earnest Windsor article was immediately corrected.

“No! It was said to be the outskirts, but since it is right next to the first line of defense, there is no need to go all the way to Parmus Kingdom!”

“… ….”

A moment of awkward silence passed between them.

“I’m sorry.”

Vincent became sullen.

“By the way, researching ruins is rare. Are there any ruins we still haven’t figured out?”

Amelia asked, displaying her curiosity.

“Sorry! We can’t answer that information because we haven’t heard it!”

Amelia decided to take care of her students first.

Everyone must have been very tired since she had been walking nonstop until now.

“They are Imperial Academy students. This time, I came to the first line of defense for a field trip.”

“Yes!”

“Sir Vincent, please give them a place to rest and a warm blanket.”

“Boo, please. A command is sufficient. Yes! All right. We will prepare it right away. Hey!”

Vincent immediately called another knight and nodded at the academy students and said something.

The driver told the students to follow him.

The students looked at Amelia with a little fear. Amelia nodded her head in agreement. Led by Hersy, she followed the knights.

As the students lined up, Vincent said to Amelia.

“I will prepare the briefing!”

The Windsor Knights have a thorough manual.

A briefing must be given when a superior comes. Troop status and damage status. Tactics and so on.

To be precise, it felt like taking over the current troops.

This wasn’t a line of defense, but it was a must-have for a Windsor knight.

Amelia had no intention of denying that either. She was also curious.

Discovery of ruins? In ruins, ‘shinki’ are usually dormant. Amelia was thrilled at the thought that she might see a new miracle.

“This way!”

Vincent led us to the captain’s barracks. With the entrance open, he stood still.

“Hey, you built a good barracks.”

“Go, thank you!”

Vincent was very moved.

Playfulness flashed in Charlotte’s eyes.

“Hmm. But there are a lot of stones on the floor.”

“…… !”

Vincent’s pupils shook.

Charlotte laughed and waved his hand.

“It’s a joke. A joke. Don’t mind.”

“Yes, yes…… !”

Amelia looked at Charlotte with cold eyes.

This was Charlotte’s usual joke.

I wanted to scold her, but I couldn’t do that because of Charlotte’s authority.

Amelia sighed as she entered the barracks.

-Destroy all the stones in this neighborhood!

– Yes!

Charlotte couldn’t hold back her laughter at the urgent voice she heard immediately.

“Poohup.”

“Charles, you are evil.”

“It’s cute. Okay then.”

Charlotte sits leisurely on the sofa with the back of her neck wrapped around her pod.

Amelia also sat across from her. A huge map was laid out on the table, and on it were placed what looked like chess pieces.

But then.

Charlotte’s laughter gradually dried up.

Soon, his complexion became pale, like someone who had an upset stomach. His face was getting more and more bloody.

Amelia asked, puzzled.

“Charles? Did you eat the wrong breakfast?”

“Me, me, me, me.”

“?”

Charlotte raised her trembling hand and pointed.

Amelia slowly turned her head.

And she stopped looking.

At the corner of the barracks, Victoria was looking this way with an expressionless face.

And, she said Louis, who was soundly asleep on her lap.

Victoria said with a nonchalant face.

“Charles. A bird you haven’t seen has become very arrogant.”

“Sorry!”

Kung!

Charlotte immediately hit her head.
