Surprising Even Breathing

24 – If you gather courage at any time, you die!

“Hey, Dwarf. I heard great things.”

Academy special class classroom where students are sitting together.

The barbarian tapped the shoulder of the dwarf sitting next to him and called him.

“Why? Is there anything you want to say?”

“That is it! I heard that the terrifying dragon had a big accident yesterday!”

The barbarian spread his arms and spoke exaggeratedly.

His loud voice and the sign of surprise emanating from his large body naturally drew the attention of the students to the barbarian.

A barbarian with his eyes wide open as if he was talking about something important.

“I heard that Demesis appeared at the training ground of this Imperial Academy after class! There, he knocked the students down with dumbbells!”

“what?”

A barbarian making a fuss in front of a dwarf.

Upon hearing what he had to say, the dwarf’s expression immediately hardened.

Knocking students down with dumbbells? Is it Demesis?

“Demesis appeared at the training ground and knocked out countless students! Some students are said to have been kidnapped while training in the training room!”

“Who said that?”

“I heard it on the way! The kids were whispering, so I grabbed him and asked him, and he said that happened yesterday!”

The story of how the barbarian found out about the rumors was simple.

While visiting the academy’s special class, he got lost before he knew it, and while looking for the classroom by asking students passing by, he even heard hideous rumors about Demesis.

“That dragon is so scary! It’s a class, shouldn’t everyone run away!”

He said let’s run away courageously as a barbarian.

Demesis exclusive seat that is still empty.

Before he arrived, the students were trembling with anxiety.

“Oh, barbarian. Where did you hear the strange words?”

When the students around him were shaken by the barbarian’s chatter, and they started asking each other if that really happened, the prince sitting in the back seat opened his mouth.

“Don’t you know that if you get caught spreading false information, your tongue can be cut off? If you explain it in a barbarian way, it means that you can get scolded by telling lies.”

“What does that mean, you bastard?”

“It’s not you, it’s Oscar. Oscar Yun Alaves Gloria. He’s the third successor to the throne of this empire, but that doesn’t matter. Anyway, I’m saying don’t just believe in rumors without any basis and spread them out.”

The 3rd prince of the Empire, Oscar, said in an intimidating manner with one arm resting on the back of the chair.

“Wait, don’t brag about it for no reason. I heard that rumor too. Do you really know what happened?”

A student from the South interjected from the side.

Rumors about Demesis were quickly spreading throughout the academy.

As he walked around the campus, he scared and stunned more than one student, so when people gathered, they would start talking about what happened yesterday.

Everyone in the classroom was wondering if the case was true or not.

If that’s true, the students of the academy’s special class are destined to not be strange even if they are swallowed up by Demesis.

“I know. every know Maybe I, the prince, didn’t know that. I already heard from the escort. Demesis. He was just touring the academy. Rumors must have spread badly because the students who encountered him at the training ground were terrified and passed out.”

The prince heard all the important news that happened at the academy through his escorts and court ladies.

If Demesis caused a problem, it was the royal family and the academy’s executives who would be in trouble first, so they were the quickest to grasp the situation.

“Isn’t that the only thing I’ve heard? I heard that he spread his magic to the sky, touched the clouds, and caused rain, wind, and thunderstorms?”

There was also a story floating around the school that Demesis was involved in the stormy sky yesterday, such as sudden dark clouds and showers.

“That’s what we couldn’t figure out. But do you really believe in that? How can a single dragon touch the clouds freely? Even wizards say that such magic is impossible.”

At the words of Maxden, a student from the South, Oscar snorted.

No matter how terrifying Demesis was, the rumor that he could even control the sky was considered excessive.

“hahahaha, that’s right. I didn’t believe it either.”

Maxden smiled awkwardly and scratched the nape of his neck.

I think I was too scared to see Demesis yesterday.

With him, no matter how strange rumors are attached to them, they all feel like the truth.

“Well, but there are many people who said they saw a female student kidnapped yesterday, right?”

The saintess candidate, Miel, cautiously questioned Oscar.

There are also rumors that a brown-haired woman was captured by Demesis and being dragged away by his fluffy telekinesis.

“It is said that it took the fainting student to the infirmary, but I don’t know exactly. Everyone is busy hiding or running away when they see Demesis, so checking the truth is slow.”

“Infirmary? is that so?”

Michael’s complexion brightened noticeably.

She cared a lot about Demesis.

It was Demesis who appeared in royalties to eat the children of the goddess Reinatis.

As a priest who directly serves the Goddess, it was inevitable that his body would tremble whenever he did something frightening.

What if Demesis has a grudge against the real Goddess Reinatis?

According to the legend, if the progenitor dragon hated the goddess, and if Demesis inherited the progenitor dragon’s will, then the first to twist her neck might be a saint in her class.

“If you are that curious, ask him directly. Why is everyone asking me?”

Oscar pointed his finger at the seat dedicated to Demesis.

I can see the person in person, but everyone is checking the facts through Oscar, so it’s frustrating to answer all of them.

“yes. It would be right to ask him directly.”

“But aren’t you scared?”

“Barbarian. Wasn’t your race a symbol of bravery? You go ahead and ask yourself confidently.”

“Where did you hear the big trouble! Even barbarians are scary. If you gather courage at any time, you die!”

When I told him to go directly to Demesis and ask questions, everyone was frightened and straight-faced.

“Then let’s pick a representative and let him ask everything.”

“That’s a great idea!”

“Well then, who will be the representative and ask?”

“I want a prince! He seems to know a lot!”

“Wait, why is that suddenly me? It’s true that this body is greater than you, but I can’t just take on that responsibility.”

The prince, who was sitting in an arrogant posture, quickly lowered his arm and waved his hand.

“Then the saintess candidate asked! Aren’t they the solemn priestesses of the Order!”

“yes? me, me Although it is a position of responsibility as a servant of the Goddess. It can’t be. Ki, pray first…”

“Then let the paladin ask instead of the saintess candidate!”

“Don’t lean on the power of God only when you need it. We help those who help themselves, and we won’t help unless you act first.”

“What are you saying! It’s hard to say!”

The classroom soon became noisy as they talked about who would talk to Demesis.

There were various races gathered, but everyone was afraid of Demesis.

“Huh.”

“omg.”

The classroom, which had been arguing, instantly became quiet.

Students who sensed that he was coming to class.

I quickly go back to my seat, fix my eyes on the desk, and shut my mouth.

drooling.

Even today, the back door opens alone by telekinesis.

Demesis stared into the silence of the classroom.

“… … .”

As expected, students who hide their faces with hard faces.

He sits like a stone statue as if nothing had happened.

Tumble, thump.

Stepping into the classroom, Demesis slowly walked over to the dedicated seat and sat down.

A magic circle that suppresses magic was activated, and the back of the left corner became an unreachable space unique to Demesis.

‘Broa didn’t come today.’

I looked around the deserted classroom.

Just like yesterday, with the introverted students sitting upright with their backs straight, they noticed that Broa’s seat was empty.

Fortunately, most of the students I saw in the first class did not run away and stayed in their seats today, but only her seat was empty and empty.

‘Why didn’t you come?’

Did you run away because the assassination failed?

Or have you not woken up yet?

He took me to the infirmary well, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with my body.

‘I was trying to see if he was an assassin or not.’

I wanted to see if there was a possibility that he would attack me again, and if he was really targeting me.

But if you don’t come to class like this, there’s no way to check.

‘Did I put too much pressure on you?’

He even passed out after seeing me, so he must be very scared of me.

The next time I see her, I’ll pretend I don’t know as much as I can.

so you won’t hit me again

After thinking about Broa, I looked at the next opponent.

A woman with short navy hair turning her head to the other side.

It’s been a week since I stopped by the information guild, so I’m sure you’ll have information about magic control items.

He had something to say to me, but he hid as if he had nothing to do with it.

Do you really think I don’t know that I am the information guild branch manager?

He seemed to believe that his disguise had worked.

I already know she’s the same person.

I’ll talk to you later after class.

I was sitting in a quiet classroom where only the faint sound of breathing could be heard, organizing my thoughts.

After some time, the professor from the ‘History of the Continent and Characteristics of Peoples’ class opened the front door and entered the classroom.

“hello! everyone. Uh, um.”

She greeted the students by raising her hand, then looked at me and stopped breathing for a moment.

She was a fox-beast with the characteristics of a human and a fox.

Among the fox beasts, he is a professor who is more famous because he is a fantasy species with nine tails.

Richellin.

In general, it was rare for Suin to be recognized as a scholar and become a professor.

However, she is very sociable and has a clear brain, so she is quick to notice.

No one ignores her for being a prisoner.

Rather, it is popular among students.

“Bar, bar, nice to meet you. Lee, my name is Richellin…”

I looked back at the students with a languid smile, and after checking in my direction, an earthquake shook my pupils.

All nine tails rise upwards, and the ears are pointed.

“Yeah, you see, as you can see, I am a nine-tailed fox! Sir, are you curious? hahahaha. Wed, I have to go to class. Now, please wait a moment.”

She hurriedly stopped talking and ran out of the classroom.

The empty professor’s seat at the front of the classroom.

The students look at where the professor has gone with an absurd expression.
