I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

49. You came to save me!

It flies through the wind filled with demonic energy.

It was a sight I could never have dreamed of before.

– Is this the golden scale?

Grandel came out of his spirit state and asked.

The size of the golden scale changed depending on the holder.

Now there is no problem even if I put it in the form.

– An artifact that separates truth from lies. I’ve never encountered anything so precious in my life.

“Didn’t you see something like this while you were at the warriors’ party?”

– Yeki, you bastard. I hate people who are talkative and friendly like warriors. It was my role to help from afar, one step away.

Isn’t that what a typical Assassin would say?

Grandel’s eyes were very stingy, so I didn’t ask further.

– I’m curious. How about experimenting?

“An experiment?”

– It could be that Anubis manipulated the scales back and forth by himself. There’s a good test subject just below you.

‘Are you referring to Evelyn?’

Golden scales are useful in games, and Anubis doesn’t have the personality to lie, but I’m interested.

Because Evelyn, who is kneeling down like this, may actually be plotting a sinister plan behind her back.

I tapped Evelyn’s horn.

– Huh?! Why, why!

“I have a question for you. From now on, when I ask you, mix lies and truth.”

– Yes?

Everin’s panicked sound was heard from the flapping of her wings.

I took out the golden scale.

As I stared at Evelyn, a heart and a brain were created as well.

– What the hell is your question… Okay. Ask anything.

“What do you think of me?”

– ……?

Whoops.

The wings stop and sink to the ground.

I grabbed the horns with the feeling of catching a crashing plane.

As I held on tight, like grabbing a broken handgear, Yves Lynn slammed her and flew away.

– Kyaaak! Now hold on! What question is that!

“No big deal. You can lie if you want to. Just answer.”

‘It’s obvious that you have a crush on me!’

Everin felt joy, excitement, and complex emotions inside.

El is the leader of Mortal. On the other hand, our family is a fallen dragon.

If you were wrongly caught by the Elder Dragon, you could be dead.

‘It’s true that the leader is kind, smart, dexterous, extremely strong, and arrogant, but he’s still a love target… Um?’

The more you dig, the better things come out.

‘If you think about it, there’s no reason to refuse, right?’

It is first-come, first-served order to intercept strong male demons.

If the leader likes you, there is no reason to reject him.

If the elder dragon comes to play, he must not back down either.

The young girl’s sensibility was stirred up.

– We respect the leader. Also very, very good…

“Good?”

– Good…!

Eve Lin closed her eyes tightly.

– Joe, ok… Family, I’m thinking of you!!!

Eve Lynn cried at the top of her throat.

She couldn’t bear to say that she liked it!

She had never told anyone else that she liked her, and she had never harbored any romantic feelings for her, so it was natural for her to feel ashamed.

Still, I felt proud that I safely said about half of my sincerity.

Kirik.

The golden scales tipped towards the heart.

It was the truth.

‘I’m sure he didn’t mean to curse.’

Good job! Isn’t it like that?

Even if you tell me to mix the truth and lies, that’s a bit…

Eve Lin’s sincerity turned to her doubts.

“Okay, that’s true. Let me ask you the next question.”

– Again, again?

Everin looked exhausted already.

“Um… Yes, you can ask me questions if you want.”

– If that’s the case!

Flutter!

The wings spread wide. How good would that kind of reaction be?

Her tail was also wagging and she was distracted.

“Did I ask you anything?”

– Yes! What is your leader’s name?

“…It’s El. From now on, instead of the leader, call me El.”

– I see, Lord Elida!

“…Get rid of Ida.”

Come to think of it, she had never taught her name.

Cezanne, her butler, was the first to know.

Eve Lynn blew her nose and repeated her name.

“Everin. I’m just going to continue that question, but do you respect me as a leader or as a demon?”

Even her likes were asked another question for a moment, which left Eve Lynn visibly taken aback.

– Of course, as a leader!

Kirik.

The golden scales pointed to the heart.

It was a lie.

“Is that a lie?”

– Yes, yes?! I’m not lying! Sincerely, as a leader…

Kirik.

It was a lie again.

“All right, all right. Then tell me the truth.”

– You mean the truth? That’s the truth…

Everin’s eyes went round and round as she didn’t know what to say.

‘False? I’m not lying! I’m sure the leader, El, is cool, but there are also cool things as a demon… Wait a minute, doesn’t the fact that you ask a question like this mean that you know how to distinguish between lies and truth?’

For a moment, the back of my head was terrifying.

Just as there are people with unique abilities among humans, the demons were the same.

There was a bizarre demon tribe that covered the truth from lies, and seeing that El clearly discriminated between ‘truth’ and ‘false’, he…

– Hib.

The wings shake.

My mind was confused.

“Whoa whoa whoa! It’s okay! You don’t have to say anything!!”

The dragon falls down as if drunk.

The dragon was the worst ride ever.

***

“Sorry for asking such a question.”

“Oh, no. I’m sorry I couldn’t answer…”

Everin ducked down to hide her face that was about to explode in embarrassment.

‘If you don’t respect El as a leader, then you respect him as a demon!’

‘Ah’ is different and ‘uh’ is a different law.

At first, I admired him as a leader, but now, whether I am a leader or a demon, I have come to like a man named El.

‘I don’t think L-sama hasn’t noticed yet… But is that okay?’

I suddenly hate L who looks at me indifferently.

Doesn’t he like himself too? Why are you able to spit out these questions?

I also wanted to ask the opposite.

He really said he liked himself.

But the answer echoed in his throat in shame.

‘Let’s talk before we leave.’

In the end, what I promised was an afterthought.

It’s like her war boy is gone and she’s going to ‘confess he likes her, her must-have childhood friend!’ It sounded the same.

Eve Lin intended to make her confession before sending Elle to her academy.

“Then go again.”

– Okay.

As the drunken driver appears to have come to his senses, he takes off again.

I wondered how much longer I had to go.

‘The devil’s energy is getting thicker?’

What the hell did they prepare? A black air current swayed around them.

The more you go inside, the more difficult it is to breathe.

That smell isn’t Magi, it’s like…

‘It smells like food waste.’

It was the familiar smell of food on Earth.

– …The surroundings seem a bit strange.

Everin’s voice became serious as if she noticed something unusual.

On the ground, things that were once monsters rolled across the ground with bones and no flesh.

I had no idea how strong the huge hole, which seemed to be the traces of a battle, was.

‘Looks like someone is there.’

It is predicted by the feeling and smell.

I didn’t have much to worry about.

Who is the demon I am riding on?

The descendant of the fallen dragon is not obtained through scabbing.

Just getting ready to go back warm and safe…

– Mr. L. I think you should watch it for a while.

“?”

What do you mean?

I woke up and saw strange things.

One was a huge bird, a fat pig.

– !!!!!

“I will eat! Give me all your food!”

“Everyone calm down! Protect yourself with the help of divine power!”

‘What are they doing over there?’

What stood out the most were the humans on top of the birds.

***

“Explain the situation.”

– …There’s a bird carrying a group of humans and a giant pig. It seems to be trying to eat them up.

“You’re not asking that.”

When I asked, frowning, Eve Lynn curled up her tail and bowed her head.

‘Did they get a ride too?’

A bird of gigantic size, though not quite as good as Evelyn, the real dragon, was wonderfully handsome.

It wasn’t hard to guess why they were here.

‘Looks like they’re here to find the missing students.’

It was also strange that Orion Academy, the best in the empire, didn’t look for missing students.

I don’t know how you got here by beating ‘Twisted Space’, but it wasn’t very good for me.

‘That pig is Azmode of Gluttony.’

Just as a crocodile is drawn to the smell of blood, that guy is drawn to the delicious smell.

Human flocks and huge birds were nothing short of a delicacy to him.

“It’s a big deal.”

– Why is it such a big deal? They are human Considering that they have a strong presence among humans, they are the ones who will be a big stumbling block in the future. Wouldn’t it be nice to nip it in the bud here?

“These are the officials of the academy I’m infiltrating. I see familiar faces, too,”

– Why is that… Ah.

Yves Lynn nodded his head in realization.

– If they die, you have to go back to the academy safely from the beginning.

“It’s annoying. I’d like to keep that to a minimum.”

– You’re right, but that pig gains more strength in the presence of delicious prey. Even I can’t handle it right now…

Headquarters.

In that place, it was impossible to tell who was on top and who was on the bottom.

Everyone is strong and has a special power.

Gluttony Azmode literally means ‘gluttony’.

It is the ability to eat everything.

‘It may sound simple, but the simpler the better.’

“Eat it! Be kind and become meat in my stomach!!”

Just in time, Azmode opens his mouth wide.

The size of the mouth went beyond its limits and continued to grow, opening it wider than its own body.

Inside it was a black abyss that knew no bounds.

– !!!

The leader of the Storm Wings frightened and broke his wings.

However, due to its large size, it could not avoid the wind sucking it in.

In the end, Azmode swallowed one of the huge wings whole.

Kwajik!!

– !!!!!

As I closed my mouth, a fountain of blood spewed out like a flood.

“Hmm! As expected, bird meat is always delicious. Shall we try the main dish now?”

Az Mode pulled out his apron from under his pants.

A bird that loses its wings will fall.

On top of it, the students and the professor who were barely maintaining their balance fall.

“Hold my hand, everyone!”

Ladia gritted her teeth and performed levitation magic.

However, levitation magic can only be used by high-level wizards.

It was crazy to bet that as a group rather than as an individual.

I tapped Evelyn by the horn.

“You stop Azmode. I save them.”

– …You must come quickly.

“It is.”

Nodded.

Tung!

Blow your body to save them.

Ladia’s eyes widened when she saw El’s face flying away.

“Eh, El?!”
