chapter 134
Side story. Lilith 5 years later – 1
A village filled with warm spring vibes.
Families with children were walking down the street beneath the fluttering flower petals.
The destination they all headed towards was the private Duel Academy, which quickly became famous after being established five years ago.
“Rotten… ! “This year is as successful as ever, right?”
A girl who exudes a dull energy while looking at people laughing and talking or taking pictures in front of the school gate.
It may seem like she was jealous of the Academy’s success, but surprisingly, she was the Academy’s chairman.
“Isn’t it good if the academy succeeds? “That means the number of talented people we need is increasing.”
“The problem is that it takes three years to develop talent! During that period, we have to prepare dozens of congratulatory speeches, have mock duels, and prepare travel destinations. Why are we holding a sports day when all we have to do is duel!”
“The chairman is as picky as ever.”
“It’s not that I’m picky, it’s because I work a lot of overtime! Just being a guild master would be exhausting, but I haven’t had a proper rest since I took on the role of academy chairman as well!”
“What can I do? “There is no one suitable to take on the position of chairman of the board.”
“Ugh! “If I hadn’t lost to that guy back then, I would be relaxing at a tropical resort right now, drinking cocktails!”
Before the academy was established.
‘Magic Smith Oriha’ was the guild master of Justice Village and was spending her days neither leisurely nor busy.
Until a mysterious wanted criminal appears.
From the beginning, he overpowered the gatekeeper, murdered the card, and was a vicious wanted criminal who committed terrorism.
He proudly entered the guild building, challenged the duelists to a duel, and showed off his spirit by defeating them all.
Master Oriha, who was no better than him, challenged him to a duel.
Even she suffered her shameful defeat.
As a result, Oriha was temporarily stripped of her position.
The wanted criminal who took over as master began to go on a rampage even more and destroyed the building where the apostles of justice were gathered.
Then he left the village with the message to build an academy in the destroyed building.
“The most frustrating thing is that they made a mess of everything around them and then passed the blame on to me! “Is it still happening in my dreams?”
‘But the master at that time was happy to have his position back.”
“Who knew things would turn out like this!”
Duck Ha is shaking his arms up and down and venting his anger.
It meant that there was a lot accumulated.
Meanwhile, the secretary who was always by Oriha’s side sighed deeply.
“I understand how you feel, but please be as self-respect as possible today. “How would the students and new teachers feel if they saw the president’s disgraceful behavior like this?”
“They tell me to judge based on the report! “Am I confident?”
“Is that so? “Then come in!”
Suddenly!
The door to the chairman’s office opened and the person outside walked inside.
A woman with two finely extended horns and flowing red hair.
Her slim face and beautifully curved body. She added her academy teacher’s uniform over it, so there was nothing special about her.
“Excuse me…” !”
“Welcome. “What brought you here?”
She changed her frowning expression from just a moment ago and looked relaxed as she rested her chin.
‘It’s a shame to be confident…’ ….’
The secretary suddenly looked at Oriha, who was acting like an adult, with disdain.
Although he was well aware of her temperamental personality, he was tired of her changing attitude in just three seconds.
“Chairman, this is Teacher Liris, who has been hired as an instructor at the academy.”
“Nice to meet you… …. Wait, Lilith? If I remember correctly, Lilith, two years ago… !”
“Yes. “This is the same Lilith who went on a trip as soon as she graduated from our academy.”
“That tiny little boy has grown so much?!”
“…… “If you put it that way, the chairman is also a kid.”
“It’s because of my constitution! Anyway, it’s amazing that that little girl came back as a beautiful woman!”
“hahahahaha… !”
Lilith scratches her cheek as if she is embarrassed by the compliment that she is a beauty.
She seemed to be in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth were fixed with an upturned look.
But that is only for a moment. Lilith’s smile faded as Oriha continued.
“By the way, did you meet up with the guy you said you were looking for?”
“…… No.”
“I saw how trash the chairman was.”
“What did I do! I was just asking if I had achieved my goal! “Can’t I just ask?”
“There is nothing that cannot be done. But I think it’s polite to ask such questions cautiously after the atmosphere has ripened.”
“You have to pay attention to everything!”
Oriha and the secretary bicker every day.
Lilith, who didn’t know that would happen, changed her glum expression, thinking it was her fault.
“Gwae, it’s okay! “I couldn’t meet you this time, but I’m sure we will meet someday.”
“…… Is that so? “Since the person concerned said it was okay, I guess I’ll have to end this petty argument with the chairman.”
“Ah! That cheesy… !”
“Are you going to fire me?”
“I won’t order it. “f*ck!”
Although he had the flaw of being blunt in his speech, his work ability was so competent that no one could replace him.
If she was forced to retire, the person who would cause her trouble was none other than Duck.
Because she knew that fact well, the secretary made fun of her employer to her heart’s content.
“I’m sorry you couldn’t achieve your goal, but why do you want to become an instructor at the academy?”
“I said that if I waited, I would come see you someday.”
“That guy?”
“Yes. “I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I wandered around, but now that I think about it, I think it would be better to just quietly stay at the academy.”
“But since she graduated, she was planning to become an instructor, right?”
“Yes. There is that reason, and just like he taught me how to duel, I also want to teach it to someone else.”
“I see.”
Oriha reacted angrily to words that were almost praise for someone she admired.
Because the person she criticized so harshly just a moment ago was the same person that Lilith admired.
“After hearing his attitude, it seems like he still likes that guy.”
“Yes, even if the world falls apart, this heart that longs for Him will not change.”
Lilith looked shy with a light blush on her face.
The secretary next to her was delighted by her lively reaction, but she soon sighed.
“I wonder when spring like that will come to our chairman…….”
“Are you saying you want to take off your rank insignia and duel with me?”
Del Academy is peaceful again today.
***
Meanwhile, a cheerful entrance ceremony is taking place in the main auditorium inside the academy.
Behind the academy’s physical education warehouse, there was an atmosphere like thin ice.
The ogre with a frown, the orc with a yell, and the delicate students trembling in front of them.
It was a combination that allowed you to roughly guess what the situation was without looking into it in detail.
“So, my brother has a card to buy, so I’m going to borrow some DP!”
“Hey… !!”
“Why are you shaking so much? Do you think we’re playing your cards now? “We’re just asking you to add a little, just a little bit of DP. Is that that difficult?”
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have any DP right now… !”
“Ha… ! If you don’t have it, you can just sell the card, right?”
“Yeah, but our precious cards are… !”
“You guys are so frustrating. We’ll get it later and return it to you, so sell it right away! Or should I embarrass myself with a duel in front of the freshmen?”
Students who were flinching and shaking at the word ‘freshman’ reacted.
They are second-year students attending the academy, and among them, they are at the bottom of the food chain.
Because of that, he was taken to the academy on the day of the entrance ceremony when he didn’t have to come and was extorted.
“You’ve all probably heard a rumor about Oga-senpai at least once, right? “Do you know that Oga-senpai is my brother’s older brother?”
“Chi… My older brother!”
The reason the students being extorted overreacted was because of the name ‘Oga’.
Oga gathered his peers in a shady place like now and ripped off the cards.
He was famous for subduing all who opposed him.
In fact, there were various anecdotes related to him, but the most well-known rumor was the entrance ceremony duel.
After the entrance ceremony, the new students had a duel with their peers who were coming and going on their way back.
With everyone watching, he humiliated his opponent by brutally defeating him.
Because of that incident, Oga was expelled from the academy, but he was proud of himself.
The academy students who lost to him were traumatized by the duel and ended up dropping out.
“Would you like me to give you the same experience?”
“Ugh… !”
Because it was such a famous story, the students’ pupils were lost and began to tremble.
In the end, people even took out the DP they had.
“Yes, it would have been better if it had been like this from the beginning! “I don’t understand why you’re throwing a tantrum when you can communicate like this.”
“That’s because you are trash who can’t communicate.”
“What? “What kind of bastard!”
“I am.”
The orc turned his head and looked towards where the voice came from.
A woman in a suit was standing there with her arms crossed.
“You… ?”
“It’s rude to speak informally to a teacher from the first time you meet him.”
“Pfft! “Teachers, idiots, and outcasts are excluded!”
“That’s stupid. Considering the current situation, even if I only think about cancer, I am a person involved. Since you haven’t learned anything properly, you probably don’t know common sense, right? The same goes for the ogre student watching from behind.”
“Are you done with what you said? I found out who your brother was and said such nonsense… !”
“Did I tell you to come and go? “I can’t remember, but it’s the same name as the trash that I went to and trampled on after I was expelled.”
A female teacher who speaks without hesitation with a smile that does not seem to be funny at all.
For some reason, the delinquent students became intimidated by the intimidating feeling.
“Huh, you’re talking nonsense. Oga-senpai is a legend who has never lost before! But trampled on? So absurd! “Right, brother?”
“… ….”
“Brother?”
Unlike the orcs who spoke proudly, the ogres were breaking into a cold sweat as if something was bothering them.
Anyway, the teacher approached them, putting her hands in her pockets.
When she finally took it out of her pocket, there was a card in her hand.
“Then, shall we have a duel together to prove that what I said is true?”
“Ah… !”
Only then did they realize that they were screwed.
