A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 179 – Unfounded Rumors Begin to Spread

There are two bulletin boards at Noble Academy.

One is the bulletin board attached to the main entrance of Noble Academy, which is for people outside of Noble Academy.

The other one was attached to the entrance to the main building of Noble Academy.

Unlike the external bulletin board, the internal bulletin board mainly contained external news for students who had to stay inside Noble Academy.

And today, more students than usual were gathered at the bulletin board in front of the main building.

“What’s going on?”

“Well? Did something happen?”

It was enough to attract the attention of people who normally wouldn’t even pay attention to the bulletin board, so the number of people gathered in front of the bulletin board was so large.

If we assume that the number of people gathered in front of the bulletin board when there is nothing going on is 1, we can say that there are now 10 times more people than that.

Of course, this means that the news posted on the bulletin board attracted the interest of Noble Academy students.

“What? What’s going on?”

A male student asked a male student who appeared to be his friend what was going on.

“It looks like someone went out over the weekend and hasn’t come back yet.”

The male student who asked her question identified the person who had asked her question, and on her bulletin board, she explained what she had seen to her friend.

“What? Can I go out on the weekend?”

However, the male student who asked the question was not focused on the fact that the student did not return, but on the fact that he could go out on the weekend.

“Didn’t you know? If you become a Bless student committee member, you have the right to go out.”

And the student’s friend responded with an expression that said he didn’t know anything about that.

“Wow, I’m jealous. We can’t even go outside, but they say they go out every weekend.”

“Hey, idiot. Can you go out as you wish? If an accident happens while you’re out, it’s your fault, right?”

“Really? I didn’t know~.”

The male student who scolded his friend who didn’t know much about the rules looked at the bulletin board again.

Perhaps because a piece of paper with new content written on it was stuck to the bulletin board, a murmuring sound began to echo in front of the bulletin board.

“Huh? What, there’s a new paper attached?”

“Really? Let’s go and see. I’ll see what it’s about, because if I just ignore it, I’ll be so curious that I’ll be itching all day long.”

The two male students approached the bulletin board to check the new information.

However, there were so many people that the two people couldn’t get close to the bulletin board, so they had to listen to what people were saying.

“Hey! Someone in front of me, please read the new content! I can’t see the bulletin board from behind!”

The male student who asked her friend the question seemed to be a person who had no hesitation in interacting with people, so he asked the person in front of the bulletin board to tell him the contents of the newly posted paper on the bulletin board.

“Wait a minute! Last weekend, there was an incident where two Noble Academy students went out and did not return. The Academy confirmed the destination of the two students, and their destination was Maroonbah City, where an explosion occurred over the weekend. Confirmed .”

“Explosion in Maroonbah City?”

“So your father called to say something big happened?”

Students had different reactions to the news that an explosion had occurred in Maroonbah City.

Some people had questions, some had answers to the questions, and those who didn’t know were just thinking that was okay and moving on.

“I haven’t read it yet! As a result of the investigation at the academy level, the two people are currently presumed dead… But since the cause of the explosion has not yet been investigated, we will announce the results of the investigation as soon as they are released. “I hope that God will bless and rest in peace for the two students who died in the incident.”

Posted on the bulletin board was the news that two students who had gone out on the weekend had died.

Unlike the previous external practice where there were only a few injuries, this time there were two deaths.

Maybe that’s why the atmosphere in front of the bulletin board suddenly sank to the floor.

Even if they were people I had never met, there were many people who felt saddened by the news that someone who belonged to the same community as me had died.

“But who died?”

At that time, a red-haired student questioned who was dead.

Then, other people nearby also began to have their own questions.

“Really? Who went out this weekend?”

“I know!”

As people began to look for who had gone out on the weekend, one slightly overweight male student claimed that he knew.

“You? You always wake up late.”

“I don’t always wake up late, either. These days, I wake up early in the morning and do some walking exercise to try to lose weight.”

The fat male student quickly refuted one student’s question and continued speaking again.

“Last weekend, I woke up early in the morning to exercise, and two people walked towards the main gate of Noble Academy.”

“But?”

“I was surprised to see someone going outside, so I stopped exercising for a moment and looked to see who it was. Is it Adalbert, who saved the people during the last training session? Is that right? Anyway, that person and Bless’ executive committee member were walking.”

“Are you sure about the two of you?”

“Uh, huh. I don’t know anything else, but I remember people’s faces well. I’m sure he was a member of the executive committee with Adalbert. I can swear by the steak dinner.”

When the fat boy said that he would swear on a steak dinner, everyone nearby was convinced that his words were true.

If nothing else, it was because this fat boy was someone who was extremely serious about eating.

In this way, the names of the two people who died in the Maroonbah City explosion began to spread throughout Noble Academy.

And at the same time, members of El-Romed, who had been infiltrated as students, began to move in earnest.

◈

A member of El-Romed’s organization named Veron, disguised as an ordinary male student from Noble Academy, approached a friend she knew well.

“Hey, hey. This is a secret, only you should know?”

“What is it?”

When Veron’s friend heard the words, ‘A secret that only you should know,’ she pricked up her ears and approached Veron.

“You know Adalbert who died this time, right?”

“I know. I know. He’s a great guy.”

When Adalbert’s name came out of Veron’s mouth, Veron’s friend nodded.

This may be because his courage in fighting against monsters to save his classmates during training became an example to many people.

“But, isn’t there something strange?”

“What?”

“No, he’s about the same age as us, but does he not have unbelievable skills?”

And the conspiracy against Adalbert began in earnest.

“So, what do you say?”

“Don’t you smell something suspicious? It’s as if you came to the academy for some purpose.”

“Is that so?”

If this student was someone who often reads books and enjoys discussions and conversations, he would have noticed that Veron’s argument was strange.

However, Veron’s friend was increasingly falling for Veron’s words, perhaps because a person with whom he was highly intimate shared a ‘secret’.

“Yes! I mean. Otherwise, do you think it would make sense to go outside alone with the executive committee member?”

“That’s it again?”

Veron confirmed that her friend was trying to trick her and began to instigate her by cleverly mixing lies with the truth.

It was the authority of the student members of Bless to go outside and come back accompanied by people when necessary.

However, Veron made up the story as if there was a problem with that authority.

“And from what I found out, did you see what books Adalbert usually read?”

“Did you see it?”

Veron’s friend looked as if he would completely fall for Veron’s words if it were just a little longer.

Veron struck the final blow.

“They say that the books Adalbert was reading were all about the history of ‘treason.’ Then, can’t you guess what purpose he came into this academy for?”

“Bah, treason? Aren’t you crazy?”

Veron’s friend was completely taken aback by Veron’s last words

“Yes. Also, there is a saying that the incident where a monster appeared during an external training session was also a self-made play.”

“Is there any evidence?”

“Think about it carefully. Strangely, haven’t many strange accidents occurred this year?”

“Uh… Is that so?”

The number of accidents that occurred last year and this year was not much different, but most people did not remember them in detail.

Veron was aiming for just that.

There have been only two accidents that have occurred recently, but because those two accidents were so serious, most students thought that there were really many accidents this year.

“Yes! Just looking at Amman, Adalbert is a spy who infiltrated to destroy the empire?”

“After continuing to listen, it seems like what you’re saying is correct…”

Veron decided to be satisfied here.

This was because there would still be room for suspicion if there was any further agitation.

When the other person had almost completely crossed over, they would step back for a moment and the person would start digging the hole on their own.

In that case, unfounded rumors or rumors would become solidified as solid truth with a basis.

This didn’t just happen to Veron and Veron’s friends.

Rumors began to spread in Noble Academy, focusing on the subjects that El-Romed’s members were approaching and the people who were related to those subjects.

There is a rumor that Adalbert Reinmed is a member of a secret organization that infiltrated Noblesse Academy to destroy it.

It was about two months later that Noble Academy noticed this.
