Chapter 1934 – 1934. The Dark Moon
“Did you find out about Miss Tine before she entered the maid academy?”
“Because Miss Tine is from, I couldn’t fully figure it out. I think we need some more time to investigate.”
“This is an incident that happened at the academy. Investigate thoroughly.”
“Yes. Dean.”
At that time, one of the instructors opened his mouth.
“In the words of brainwashing experts, it is not brainwashing that directly forces behavior. It was said to be a kind of method in which the direction of conscious thinking is slightly touched and induced. It could have been a coincidence that I was targeting Miss YuRia.”
“Then what do you think the brainwasher’s purpose is?”
“That… Maybe it’s the academy’s reputation? Deliberately causing an incident to damage the academy’s reputation. There are people who don’t like the academy.”
“Miss Yuria was only caught in the process… My opinion differs.”
“Please listen to the dean’s opinion. I will listen.”
“You all know that Ms. Yuria is very talented.”
I couldn’t know The Yuria we’ve shown so far is truly a genius itself. If you teach one, you realize ten, and even though you are not a wizard, you have magical knowledge. In some areas, it is judged that they have already surpassed the level of instructors. The cooking department was like that.
“Yes. It’s an incredible talent. I’ve never seen such outstanding talent. To the point where I don’t understand why her knight let her go from her retreat.”
“She said that she stood out at the knight training academy, but she wasn’t at this level. Later, her talent blossomed.”
The instructors scrambled to praise her Yuria. She, Yuria, was one of the most outstanding talents in the Maid Academy’s history.
“That extraordinary talent of hers might be her purpose.”
“Are you saying that it could be that you were originally trying to brainwash Miss Tine and Miss Yuria?”
“The brainwashing ability doesn’t mean you can brainwash everyone at random. You can try brainwashing, mainly when you’re mentally shaken. From my point of view, Miss Tine was just a means to shake Miss Yuria’s spirit.”
“… Does that mean that the Brainwasher is inside the academy?”
“I think there is a possibility.”
“The reason why you are aiming for Miss YuRia is…”
The instructors were silent.
Considering her talent, Yuria had enough reasons.
“Among the magic, there is also magic that steals the target’s talent. There are many reasons to target Miss YuRia.”
“I’ve only heard of the magic that steals talent, but is it really real magic?”
“The world is wide and full of wonders. We call him miracles, and some of the miracles are magic. The legendary wizard Merlin said: Nothing is impossible with magic. Always keep the possibilities open. And starting tomorrow, we will check the security system inside the academy.”
“Yes. Dean.”
“How did it go about recruiting Miss YuRia?”
“… I hinted at it, but the situation is not good. The royal family doesn’t seem to have any intentions.”
“Did you explain what a great honor it is to work for the royal family and how it will benefit your career?”
“I did it almost every day. There’s no way she wouldn’t know since it’s the outstanding Miss Yuria. He appears to have no intentions at all in the royal family.”
“Why?”
“Miss YuRia seems to have made some kind of contract with her patron, Baron Eugene Meyer. He has a significant stake in his business.”
“It’s a nobleman with a name I’ve never heard of before.”
“Recently, I became a semi-nobleman.”
“Are you in a relationship with Miss YuRia?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet. However, since Miss Yuria stayed at his house for a long time, I think there is a possibility.”
Men and women lived under one roof. I.E. Cohabitation. Even if the eyes are right, it’s not a strange situation. Besides, isn’t YuRia’s beauty outstanding? What kind of man could not have a dark heart?
“This is true. Things aren’t going well. In fact, even the royal family knew of Miss Yuria’s existence. Knowing that I am an outstanding talent, they are begging me to bring them to the royal family.”
“You mean the royal family?”
“Yes. It seems that someone from the royal family really liked Miss Yuria. I would have only seen it on paper. I understand. There is a shortage of outstanding talent in the royal family right now. You wouldn’t want to miss a genius like Miss Yuria.”
The instructors’ faces darkened.
No matter how much the royal family was, they couldn’t force them to work there. Even if I force it, I wonder if it will work properly.
It would be up to the instructors to choose Yuria. Would that be easy?
“You know that the first visitation day is coming, right?”
“Yes. Of course.”
“This is the day students look forward to the most, and it should be the most enjoyable day.”
“I know. Most of us are also from the academy.”
“By any chance, will Baron Eugene Meyer come that day?”
“Yes. As Miss Yuria’s patron and guardian, the visitation request has been approved.”
“I’ll have to see him sometime. Maybe we can get some help in persuading Miss YuRia.”

Colonel Bergman. No, he’s no longer a colonel, but he’s plotting to kill me and take over Lemen Prison with Kevin, the assistant warden.
Before I intervened, the plan would have worked. The real Leon Schneider died in the first raid.
Even after that, Bergman tried to kill me. If nothing else, the necromancer’s attack was quite dangerous. It’s a shame that his curse didn’t work on me for some reason. If the curse had worked properly, I might have died in that wasteland.
Anyway, the important thing is that Bergman tried to kill me. So I will kill him too. Marie, the commander of the 6th corps, gave permission, so there was no reason to hesitate.
I came to the city where Bergman’s home is located. It was a city outside the power of the 6th Corps. To be precise, a city in the 3rd Corps power.
Bergman, who had fled from the 6th corps, returned to his hometown and filed a lawsuit against the 6th corps. The content of the lawsuit is about corruption committed by the 6th Corps. It is trying to endure somehow by using the media.
The reason for holding on is simple. I want to take care of my wealth somehow.
‘If it were me, I jumped out without even looking back. Did he really think that he could stop the imperial army for a while with a lawsuit?’
It suits the suit because Mari, the commander of the 6th corps, entrusted the matter to me. He’s in the 3rd Legion Commander faction? Could there be no connection between the corps commanders? In addition, Bergman was the one who not only stole the secrets of the Imperial Army, but also betrayed them by filing a lawsuit. There was absolutely no reason to defend the 3rd Legion bastard.
A call came from the 6th Corps.
He said that he could go on a splendid rampage because he was perfectly prepared for the follow-up.
It seemed to me to be saying please run wild
‘Now that the media is paying attention, I’m thinking of driving Bergman as a traitor at this moment.’
The company run by the Bergman family is a company specializing in long-term sales. Isn’t it a good company to incite by adapting?
Rattle!
I got out of the car supported by the 3rd Corps.
In front of me was a building with more than 10 floors. The surface of the building flashes non-stop with neon signs. The name of the company is Backup. It is an artificial organ manufacturing company.
Walk towards the corporate building. Security guards stood at the entrance to the enterprise. They were nervous when they saw me in military uniform.
“I’m sorry, but currently no one is allowed to enter our company. Even if you came out of the military, there are no exceptions.”
“…”
I stared at him.
Suddenly, these words come to mind.
“Let’s enjoy the 2023 style.”
Open the astral I tried to pull the sword out of my waist, embarrassed by the sudden flow of mana. Before that, my hand first grabbed his head and cast the prepared magic.
[Explosion]
Aaaaang!
An explosion shatters the body of the guard. Burnt pieces of meat were scattered in all directions. Thanks to the barrier that was spread at the same time as I was using Explosion, there was no blood or flesh touching my body.
“It’s an assault!!”
“One less person on the 1st floor!! Presumed to be a battle mage!”
“Come down right away and apply!! I used Explosion magic! It is a battle mage of at least 5th grade!!”
Fight, fight, fight!
A security guard sharpens his gun, pouring out bullets. Although it was a magic bullet, it lacked the power to penetrate the 5th grade barrier. Some of the guards charge with swords. A blue light shone on the blade. Mana Blade. Special equipment that maximizes cutting power using mana.
I waved my hand at them.
[Electric Whip]
The electric shock generated from the fingertips bent like a whip and swept everywhere. The swordsmen tried to rush while being attacked. It is to believe in the latest armor you are wearing. However, they were all swept away by the whip and had to roll on the floor.
“What crazy! It’s not just second-class magic!”
“Back off at once! Join the support troops and fight!”
I concocted a formula while watching them.
“Do you think I will stay still?”
[Electric Field]
Lightning spreads in all directions along the floor. It climbs the walls and clings to the ceiling. In less than five seconds, all directions were sparkling with electricity.
“Explode.”
[Microwave]
Powerful electromagnetic waves rain down on them. An invisible attack. Even if their senses warned them, they couldn’t avoid them already in the microwave.
Pop!
Their bodies explode. Blood shot up to the ceiling, and pieces of intestine fell at my feet. I stepped on someone’s eyeball and headed upwards.
A voice is heard from the speakers in the ceiling.
-Leon Schneider!! Do you dare to do this and be safe?!
“Is it Bergman? Don’t give it back Did you think you would be safe even if you committed treason? I’ll go and kill you right now, so write a will in advance.”
He pointed at the speaker with his index finger. One of the lines of blue lightning shot out and smashed the speaker.
Thud!
The guy hiding in the ceiling falls on me holding the dagger in reverse. Knowing in advance, I stepped back slightly and used magic.
[Absolute Polymorph]
I turned my right hand into a hand cannon and hit it. His upper body exploded and disappeared.
I kept moving forward.
