I Became a Darkened Extra

Episode 22 – Revenge (4)

22. Revenge (4)

Leon first put the items Bergoff gave him in his subspace pocket.

“I’m going to open this up slowly later…”

The devil doesn’t lie, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

But first, I had to clean up after myself.

Leon took one last long drag on the cigarette butt, summoned Mana, and crunched the butt.

“Let’s go now.”

Leon ran to the academy and gathered a bunch of instructors to clear the time.

······The academy was turned upside down.

* · * *

First, the academy decided to close for two days.

The fact that an academy cadet was involved with the devil was completely different from the entrance ceremony suicide case, which left countless questions.

Burrow’s dead corpse in a demonic state.

This was a very clear sign of heresy.

To reveal the truth of the incident.

As soon as dawn broke, the church’s heresy inquisitors arrived one after another at Elaim’s warp gate.

As well as the 10 cadets who were there, including Leon and Aria.

Cadets who had at least a little bit of friendship with Burrow.

Also, professors and instructors were all investigated once.

In the end, it was decided that it was Burrow’s arbitrary act.

The cadets decided that the reason they gathered in such a dark place at night was because they had been called by Burrows.

It was actually true.

Because there was no reason to reveal the purpose of the meeting, which was to overthrow the nobles.

The cadets weren’t stupid enough to scratch and make crumbs.

From the beginning, the heresy inquisitors only focused on determining whether they were heretics or not.

This part gets buried like a ditch.

The details of the incident as determined by the heresy interrogators were as follows.

Aria attended Burrow’s meeting after receiving her invitation, but she felt suspicious about him and secretly called Leon.

In reality, Burrow activates the demon summoning circle and becomes a demon at the same time.

He goes on a rampage to sacrifice the cadets, including Aria, to the devil.

Aria tried to subdue Burrow by activating the self-defense artifact she usually carried, but she failed.

At that time, all the cadets who could help were asleep and were in trouble.

They join forces with Leon, who arrives just in time, and catch him.

It was a scenario that everyone could understand.

Even the commoner cadets present nodded to Aria’s words.

If you think that her actions were because she sensed something ominous about her, she could agree.

It also turned out to be true that Burrow was a devil follower.

As a result, Aria and Leon received the achievement of saving the cadets from the clutches of the demon follower.

······There were a few missing parts, but it wasn’t wrong.

“Brother, sister. Once again, I sincerely thank you for punishing their tricks. Mertheon (the god of order) will also be pleased with this.”

“hahahahaha! “I just did what I had to do.”

“Even this heroic aspect…! Ah, may only the grace of the gods be with you in your future.”

After pouring out gratitude and blessings to the demon contractor for a while, the heresy inquisitors returned to the church.

It was a heartwarming ending.

* · * *

After two days of school closure, Wednesday has returned.

“Ha.”

Philip secretly let out a long sigh.

He was one of his cadets who attended the meeting at Burrow last Sunday.

Even though Burrow was a bastard who tried to sell himself to the devil.

It could not be denied that his heart was racing when he heard the words he was talking about putting an end to the tyranny of the nobles.

It doesn’t mean that I believe the conman’s words, it just means that the temptation was too sweet.

‘Armain Pergio······.’

Philip, remembering the guy’s face, couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

The reason why he was captured was very trivial.

He may have been unlucky.

– Over there… That’s my seat…

– hahahaha, what?

······That was the starting point.

As a wizard who enjoys using fire magic, Armeng often burned everything that belonged to Philip.

Textbooks were commonplace.

Hair, shoes, tops, bags, lunch, etc.

I had to go to the nurse’s office more than once because of burns.

Especially when the task I had completed after staying up all day and night for three days turned to ashes, it felt like my eyes were turning completely white.

It’s only been 4 weeks since the academy started, but I wonder how much worse this guy’s bullying will get in the future.

“Haaa.”

Philip entered the classroom, washing his face repeatedly out of confusion.

“I’m so sorry!”

“·······???”

······And then I come face to face with Armeng, who is apologizing and banging his head on the desk.

“I was really, really wrong!”

Boom! Thud! Thud!

Head keeps falling down.

A desk shaking noisily.

A drop of blood flowed from his red, bloodshot forehead.

“Please forgive me!”

“······No, what is this…”

The cadets’ whispers and shocked gazes were focused on Armeng, but he didn’t care at all.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok… Please…”

I just constantly bow my head hoping for mercy.

Bloodshot eyes.

Cold sweat flowing steadily.

He looked as if he was being chased by something.

“······.”

Philip could not believe this situation.

Like this.

This strange phenomenon of nobles doing their best to apologize to commoners occurred throughout the academy.

To be exact, to the commoner cadets who attended Burrow’s meeting that day.

What they had in common was that they were all afraid of something and were in extreme fear.

* · * *

Behind the abandoned building located in the corner of the academy site.

The soil had soaked up so much blood that it had turned dark.

The fishy scent of blood permeates the air.

Blood and flesh are everywhere.

There was a mountain of empty potion bottles piled up in the corner.

“It relieves your stress, right?”

Aria smiled prettily as she carefully wiped the blood splattered on Leon’s face with her handkerchief.

“I guess so.”

Leon took out a cigar and brushed his tangled bangs as he stood with his mouth in his mouth.

“I’ll have to use it from now on whenever I’m bored.”

“Please call me too.”

“Of course. Let’s go to the martial arts club next time. “There are some kids I’ve been watching.”

That’s right.

I received the list that Aria had prepared.

It was Leon’s job to call out the nobles who were doing foolish things and educate them directly.

Of course.

It wasn’t something I did out of a particular sense of justice.

He just needed someone to vent his violence to.

I also took care of some education expenses(?).

‘It is a good thing to live together, and a good thing to live together.’

And.

It is natural to keep the place where you live clean.

Like a full moon waning.

If you keep accumulating, it will explode one day.

If we continued like this, we never knew when dissatisfied commoner cadets would rise up.

In the original work, the incident occurred due to Burrow.

There is no guarantee that something similar will not happen again.

No, rather, the process was eliminated, but the root cause still remained.

It would be correct to say that the probability of this happening is very high.

In that sense, Leon could be seen as being truly humble.

‘······Do you think it would have been more fun to just leave it alone and watch what happens?’

Inhaling smoke.

Leon is in a bit of regret and agony.

‘As expected, the master has a weak heart.’

Aria was looking at him with strange eyes.

‘It’s useless to help with things like that.’

* · * *

Back again, Wednesday afternoon.

As usual, the Class A cadets gathered at the 1st training center were thinking about death.

Because the thought of resuming the hellish training was already painful.

Perhaps because I had an unscheduled two-day break, the thought of not wanting to do it started creeping in.

But those thoughts disappeared as soon as I saw Leon slinking into the training ground.

“Lululu~!”

Leon is in a good mood today, as if something good had happened.

If it were someone else, feeling good would be a good thing.

That crazy guy was the scariest when he was laughing.

The cadets adjusted their posture for no reason and touched the handle of their sword like a talisman.

Soon after, Cheren arrived at the training ground with a steady pace.

“Gentlemen, it’s been a while.”

It was clearly a greeting to everyone, but her eyes were only focused on Leon.

“As everyone knows, something unpleasant happened at the academy this time.”

“It was a major incident that could have killed several cadets.”

“Fortunately, we were able to stop it here thanks to Cadet Leon’s performance. Everyone applauds.”

Clap clap clap clap!

Every single one of the cadets applauded enthusiastically.

Apart from being afraid of him, the Class A cadets clearly recognized him as a warrior.

Didn’t you say that you saved a cadet from the gunmen last time?

Even if his personality was a little, or even a lot, dirty, the work he accomplished could not be disparaged.

There was also a reason why Leon’s skills were superior enough to overwhelm all the cadets here.

As the applause died down, Cheren continued her words.

“As can be seen from this incident, there are countless evil spirits and enemies lurking in the world that threaten the empire.”

“So we always need thorough training and preparation for actual combat. In that sense…”

As Cheren paused for a moment, anticipation appeared on her cadets’ faces.

“Starting today is practical training. “Everyone follow me.”

“””Wow!!!”””

The cadets cheered as one.

Everyone was so happy that they didn’t have to do physical training that they hugged each other with big smiles on their faces.

On the other hand.

Leon was smiling for a slightly different reason.

Outdoor practice.

Isn’t this a perfect combination of words to cause an accident?

‘Have fun!’

Leon was just happy with the events happening without a break.
