I Became the Second-in-Command in a Romance Fantasy Novel

The academy was attacked.
And in a mysterious attack, even the head professor, Jeon Ma-top-ju, was attacked.
In this emergency, where would I go if I ran away?
Running outside?

Not a bad choice.
Usually it would be a bad choice, but this is the academy.
Even if there was a terrorist attack at the academy, unless the Empire's security level was like an automatic door, the number of terrorists who broke into the academy would not be that many.
On top of that, since the enemies had paralyzed the inside with a mysterious attack, there was a risk of being paralyzed if they stayed inside the building.
So avoiding the enemies and trying to join up with other students would not be a bad choice.
However, unlike me, each and every one of the Ropan group members is important.
And even though the inside was paralyzed, the enemies did not come rushing in.
I don't know if it's because the paralyzed inside is dangerous to the enemies, or if they're targeting the people who dug the trap. If the enemies don’t come, it wouldn’t be a bad choice to hide inside instead of showing off.

Then where should we hide?
Of course, it’s upstairs.
You can check the number of people coming up by setting up traps and obstacles on each staircase.
If necessary, you can escape through the window.
On the other hand, enemies can fly in through the window, but if you move so flashily, you can check the enemy on this side too.
Even if you encounter the enemy, you can buy time and let them know your location.
So, it doesn’t matter if it’s not the basement where you’ll be trapped if you encounter the enemy.
So I went underground.

“It’s Adam after all!”
Why did you guys come here?
“You should hide underground.”

That’s a lie.
If you blow up the entire building, you won’t be able to escape and will be buried there.
Of course, as is typical of fantasy, you can survive using magic even if you’re isolated underground.
It’s more efficient to just jump off the rooftop with the magic power to do that.
“What happened?”
“That…”
He seemed very flustered, so he said a lot of useless things, but in summary, it was like this.
They were suddenly attacked, but the professors overpowered the attackers and chased them away.
The professors chased those who were running away, and the assistants, including the head professor, protected the students.
Then, suddenly, the ground shook, and everyone, including the head professor, fell down one by one.
What was strange?

“The head professor fell first?”
“Yes, Mr. McGregor fell first.”
A person who was as powerful as the previous magician fell first.
Is it something that the strong react more sensitively?
Since someone who earned the title of Great Wizard wouldn’t be easily defeated, there must have been something fatal to the magician.
“So, what is it?”

And I don’t know magic.
It’s not just me who doesn’t know, everyone from the Kingdom of Leon is the same.
If someone has a problem they don’t know, they will try hard to solve it on their own. I’m the type to look ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ for answers right away.
That’s why I sneak up next to Violet, who must know all this, and ask her.
“What. Why?”
The response is lukewarm.
Oh, come to think of it, I blew the first rule, right?

“It’s an emergency. Please share some information.”
But in this situation, if we’re all going to survive, wouldn’t it be possible to share information?
“We all know. It’s okay. Anyway, no one else will get hurt here.”

However, what came back wasn’t information, but a spoiler about the future.
But wait. Your expression isn’t good for something like that?
What should I say?
Should I say it’s like Senior Lucia’s expression when Princess Hestia came looking for you?
“Then you?”
The others said it was okay, but it felt like they weren’t including themselves.

“I’m going to get a hole in my stomach.”
“Are you crazy?”
No, if it’s a future where you get a hole in your stomach, you should think about changing it.
I'm thinking of getting a hole in my stomach because I'm following the original.
"It's important."
"My body is the most important to me."
"That's why it's my body. You don't care."

That's true.
At this point, I couldn't help but have doubts.
No matter how much I love the original, I'm obsessed with it at this point.
Even the original author would avoid it if it were in danger of getting a hole in his stomach.
He wasn't just a regular reader, and he was obsessed with the original while cursing and obsessing over the latest developments.
As if he were being chased by something.

"So what do you get in return for getting a hole in your stomach?"
"Awakening of the saint."
"Oh, is that the awakening flag?"
"Oh. And I'll fill it back in. Just watch."
As expected, the female protagonist of a romance novel.
In order for the female protagonist to awaken, a hole in her stomach is necessary!
"Does that make sense?"

Even though it’s for awakening, and even though it’s a cure, how dare you expose your own stomach.
“I’ll change from now on.”
“Isn’t it okay if I just change from now on?”
“No.”

At those firm words, I frowned.
“Will it work?”
Unfortunately, this is the original and it doesn’t matter.
I think I want to have a hole in my stomach, but I don’t really want to see it.
It’s not like it’s a past life trend or anything, but it’s just that no one wants to see a hole in front of them.
There’s me and Prince Ellen, and a weak but powerful swordsman.
With the magic shields behind me, we could handle most enemies.

“Will it work?”
Even though she probably knew that, Violet’s voice was full of confidence.
“Really?”
“That’s the boss of this part. A character that appears at the beginning and is absolutely unbeatable.” “……”

There are some.
In order to inform the main characters of their defeat, there is a pattern where the boss from the beginning to the end appears.
Although it is not the final boss, it appears before the main characters grow up and sticks its face in important situations.
When you actually defeat it, the final boss falls more pointlessly than you think.
Overall, it is a more difficult enemy than the final boss.
“The wizard killer, Silence.”
“The name itself sounds really strong.”

The moment Violet mentioned that name, there was a thud and dust.
“Oh, look at the dust. Why are you hiding in such a place?”
The moment a human who looked like the flower arrangement club president’s relative jumped out through the smoke, I swung my sword without hesitation.

* * *
Kang! Kang!
My ears reacted before my eyes.
The man who had been whispering next to me a moment ago was now swinging his sword at the front line.
Adam Smith.
It wasn’t intentional, but it was a movement that made the famous nickname of the invisible hand come to mind.
Right away, the only ones who moved as soon as the enemy appeared were him and Ellen.

“These days, kids are scary. They swing their swords as soon as they see someone.”
However, their surprise attack was meaningless.
The enemy had that much of a gap.
The magician killer, Silence.
A monster that had an absolute advantage over magicians, but could also crush knights in close combat.
Right now, in this academy, the only person who could defeat him alone was the sword master.
In terms of the story, he must be unable to move.

“I was wondering how people would move after preparing so hard, but this is it.”
Red eyes sparkled between the narrow pupils.
The magic sealing eye.
It was an ability that suppressed not only one’s own magic power but also that of the opponent, and was a counter to magicians as well as knights who depended on magic power.
“Ugh.”
“What is this?”

Ellen frowns and Adam swears.
In a fantasy world where magic is everything, if magic is taken away, even a knight becomes powerless.
Of course, he doesn’t become an ordinary person like a wizard.
But Silence is also the same in that he doesn’t have magic.
The difference between someone who normally uses it freely and someone who originally uses it with restrictions was inevitable.
“Oh?”

Even in that situation, Ellen’s talent was to make even Silence flustered.
“These days, kids are really scary.”
What was Adam doing following her?
He said he really worked hard, but it felt like he could see a glimpse of it.
But.

“Huh!”
“Asran!”
“Don’t worry about it and fight.”
Even when he faced three people, including the Sogeomje who had joined the battle, Silence was not pushed back.
No, rather, he was winning against the people who would become the best swordsmen in the world. It would be possible if everyone here rushed in, but the barrier prepared by Silence would lose consciousness faster the more magical power there was.
Prince Acid, who grew up with the blood of the royal family, innate magical power and even more nutrition, is already crawling on the floor.

Likewise, Gerard, who received support from elixirs to deal with all kinds of beasts and demons with innate magical power, is the same.
Needless to say, Arwen, the prince of Dale.
My mind is getting dizzy.
However, there was still work to be done.

In fact, if you only consider the amount of magical power, the three of them fighting in front of me should already be out of their minds.
However, the reason they can move is probably because of Daisy’s existence, who unconsciously suppresses Silence’s barrier.
The power that protected everyone was concentrated into the strongest power.
That’s why they can fight.
“Hmm.”
Silence also noticed that.
The reason he can emit a force close to invincibility is because of the magic that put all kinds of restrictions on him.
He hides his expression with a smiling expression, but the other side must be quite flustered.

That’s why.
He blocks the three sword strikes flying towards him, counterattacks.
He moves to achieve his goal, waiting for an opportunity.
“The existence of a saint is more annoying than I thought.”
With a clanging sound, his sword swings. A distance that would normally be impossible to reach.
However, the blade fluttered and extended gracefully toward Daisy.

Sabokugeom.
Since it was in a state of no magic, it was a speed that could be seen with our eyes.
A sharp venomous snake fang flew toward the target, waiting for a single opportunity.
It was my role to take that hit and fall instead.

This was a fate that could not be avoided.
Daisy's awakening as a saint and her growth here was the real beginning of the novel.
Even if I avoided everything else, I could not avoid this.
The development after graduating from the academy was a series of exhaustion.
And the first of those exhaustions was the death of Daisy's childhood friend Violet.
If I couldn't start here, I was destined to die anyway.

No matter how much Prince Ellen, one of the strongest in the world, grew up because of Adam, I knew that I could not achieve a happy ending. The core of the story is, after all, the saint.
Since it was a romance novel, the strength of the female protagonist was the most important.
“Daisy!”

That’s why I gritted my teeth and flew towards the sword aimed at Daisy.
It would hurt, right? It would hurt. If I got hit wrong, I would definitely die.
So I tried to avoid the dangerous organs as much as possible, and only pierce the side like in the original.
While flying like that, I met Daisy’s eyes.
His already large pupils had grown even bigger.
Honestly, I told that bastard Adam because of the original.

Right now, at this moment, I also had feelings for Daisy.
I had a lot of resentment while reading the novel, but when we were together, he became a precious person.
The male protagonists… It was a shame to be connected to those punks.
I wanted to walk only on a path of flowers from now on, but I knew that this damn world was a path of flames.
I tried to put out a little bit of the flame.
… But I think I tried too hard.

“?”
Whoosh.
The body I threw at Daisy was thrown back.
With the self-defense technique I had diligently taught, Daisy lightly pushed me away.

“Huh?”
I looked at her in surprise, and Daisy was smiling with sad eyes.
“Then you can’t.”

No, you can.
That’s how it should be.
Faster than I could yell that.
Blood gushed out from Daisy’s body.
