Unsold Slaves Returned as Heroes

17. The Battle for Ceremony at the Academy (fixed!)

“How kind the owner is! He’s still working on a request to protect the children of the county who have nothing to do with him!”

Kwaaang!

Yuri’s fist created a gust of wind, tearing open space and splitting Tia’s fire.

“How do you know that? Did you send a spy to spy on me?!”

“They said they couldn’t enter the mansion. The exclusive driver must have considerable skill.”

“Luca too?! Wow, no way. I told you to send me a letter of regards. Do you think I gave you the owner’s address to stalk?”

“What’s the use of a letter that can’t be replied to because of its security or confidentiality and has to be written in lies! You should report it yourself!”

“That’s right. Yuri, have you seen the master’s face?”

“I saw it, I saw it. Because the spy drew it with dye. Even though it was blurry, it was still so cool….”

“Three airs were snappy.”

“Look what they are talking about. Master was originally meant to be such a big prize!”

As Tia swung her staff, her ground cracked and her fire screen rose.

Luka fired his sword and released a blue ice aura that offset his power.

“Hey, Tia knows that too.”

“Oh.”

“Yes. My spy said there was a familiar familiar around the mansion. I’m glad I’m not a demon.”

“Ha, it is the duty of a slave to ensure the safety of his master.”

“Then keep watching. I’m not going to leave my master’s side from now on.”

“Yuri, since when did you not know how to be shy? And didn’t you call the master your brother?”

“That, that’s a title that can only be used between me and my master! Why is your memory so good!”

“Hey, look at these magic circles. If you don’t have a decent memory, can you draw all of this?”

“You are right.”

Luca nodded her head. Behind Tia’s back, complex magic circles were continuously drawn.

The higher the hierarchy, the more the main magic circle is needed. Hundreds of complex shapes are more beautiful than any art work and are connected and organically operated.

The outermost circle is filled with formulas, and countless auxiliary magic circles engraved for mana circulation play their roles in the right place as if supporting a heavy furnace.

The most efficient of all elements. At the same time, Luca affirmed that the profession of a sage is worthwhile for Tia, who can cast without making a single stroke or mistake.

“Huh!”

Rukawa, who offsets Tia’s magic with a sword containing an aura, and Yuri, who evaporates with a fist that exudes speculation, have long since broken through the realm of common sense.

The longer their conversation went on, the bigger the problem was in the land of battle.

It is truly reminiscent of the end of the world.

If ordinary people were here, they would not have lasted even 2 seconds and turned to dust.

“Even if it’s tough, it’s too tough. How long are you guys going to hold out?”

“I mean. I thought Tia would be the first to leave.”

“The Fist of Glass also provides wide-area healing and mana recovery for allies, so it must be that effect.”

Luca said calmly. It was only then that Tia and Yuri realized the reason why this fight would not end and opened their mouths.

“Tell me about that!”

“Did you keep going without knowing?”

“I want to win someday. It’s guts.”

“Before that, Master will grow old first, kid.”

Tia sighed. Yuri, who had been looking disapprovingly at her own fist, pricked her ear perched above her head.

“What, Goddess? Yes yes. I’m listening. Stop destroying continents? Hey, how did we do that….”

Yuri then looked around.

The land the size of a city with a radius of about 10km from the Devil’s Castle was completely ruined to an irreversible level.

“… I did some.”

“Ha ha. Yuri, can you ask the goddess if she has any good ideas?”

Exhausted Tia asked as she removed her magic circle.

“Oh, yes. Hmm… A newspaper?”

Yuri found the tray that Sword Saint Aisha had brought to her this morning. She opened the newspaper that was lying with her and read the text.

“The legendary teacher of the warriors… Inaugurated as chair professor at the academy? Luca, Tia, look at this!”

Luca and Tia also pressed their faces on both sides of the glass. The three people’s cheeks met and became convex like buns.

“Is the master a professor now?”

“Wow, great… ! If you are a chair professor at that caseus, it’s a great position. I’m sure everyone will respect you very much from now on!”

Tia looked at her newspaper and blushed as if it were her own.

“Really? I want to congratulate you! … Yes? What are you talking about?”

“Why?”

“The Goddess said she never appointed the Master as Chair Professor….”

“What? Then master was tricked by the bad guys?! No, the master is smart, so there’s no way….”

“You must have an idea.”

“Ah, I went to challenge for the chair professor position. You have a plan.”

“A challenge? Then, since everything else has to be left up to luck and time, are you planning to pass all the jockeys for this year’s ‘Opticulum’?”

“Opticulum?”

“Yes. It’s the academy’s most difficult graduation test.”

“Oh wow… Thiung? Tia really knows about the academy.”

“She said she wanted to go since she was little.”

“Yeah, I really wanted to go. Ah! Then, in addition to helping the master, should I also apply for an instructor position? If you’re a former warrior, I’ll give you a seat.”

“Is that seat mine?”

“It’s mine.”

The three glared at each other again, dissatisfied. As each of them was about to draw their weapons, Yuri’s ears pricked up again.

“Yes? Oh yes Ugh, I see.”

“What did you say?”

“Stop the physical fight.”

“Do we fight because we want to fight too?”

“Ah… heheheuk.”

Yuri, who was listening to the goddess, suddenly blushed.

“Why is that?”

“Well, you say it wouldn’t be easy if all three of you got married…. She said that she did not allow polygamy and polygamy for nothing….”

“What… Shi, I hate it! Lucca, Yuri, and the same master… This… ?”

Quang!

Tia couldn’t stand the agony that popped into her head and unleashed her magic.

“I’m fine.”

“Luca?!”

“However, about a year after I got married first? I want to fully enjoy my newlywed life.”

Luca declared calmly. On the other hand, Tia and Yuri felt somehow immoral about sharing Wicker with two other people they considered like sisters.

“Yeah, but if even Luca says that….”

“Even glass? Driving me crazy.”

In the end, seeing Yuri gently lowering her tail, Tia slapped her on the forehead.

“I’m not married right away, but with my master… I mean, I wanted to start dating! Still… It’s not that we don’t want to be together….”

“Well then. Is it a matter of order?”

“That… go?”

“Yes.”

Suddenly, the three of them reached a subliminal agreement to share Wicker, but everyone was swept away by the atmosphere and forgot their shame.

“Luka and Tia also want to be your master’s first, right? I feel the same way.”

“How do you decide?”

There was silence for a moment.

In the middle, Tia snapped her fingers.

“Let’s compete.”

“How?”

“We are also entering the academy as master’s students. Master will need a lot of help to challenge for chair professorship.”

“How do I get admission?”

“Wouldn’t the goddess recommend it?”

“They tell me not to use it as I please….”

“Anyway, and then?”

“I’m sure the master doesn’t recognize us either, right?”

“Oh, I guess.”

“Really.”

Rukawa and Yuri agreed. The three also recalled memories of not recognizing each other until they read the name tags when they reunited two years ago.

“Master, you don’t know our names. Only yellow, black, and white are known.”

“The race is the same, but the appearance is completely different.”

“All races must be misunderstanding. Originally a wolf beast….”

“Then do you really think I am a man?”

“With that kind of condition, in the true sense of the word, who will be chosen by the master? Wouldn’t everyone be able to understand if I fell for the master and proudly became the first woman?”

“Really.”

“That makes sense.”

The two nodded.

“Or, since the past ties with the master are strong, it can be considered a victory even if the first one recognizes his true identity, right?”

“Yes. If we cover it with our mana, we can also hide the slave link.”

“What if it doesn’t work out until the end?”

“Let’s say that the person with the best grades in the academy wins. Master is now a professor, so an excellent student is a good fit.”

“It makes sense. Instead, don’t each of them have their specialties now. They’ll all be perfect, so there’s no comparison.”

All three nodded in agreement with the details of the match.

“Ah, what about the name tag? You can’t go to the academy with a hero or swordsman.”

“Ask the Goddess.”

“Goddess, is it possible? … He is angry at me for not using his authority for useless things.”

“Then let’s keep fighting.”

“He said he would! It is accomplished.”

Three people faced each other in a triangle. Tia, who speaks the most among the three, organized the contents in a clear voice.

“From now on, the three slaves Lucas, Testia, and Yuri will proceed with a game to determine the position of master Wicker Pedia’s wife. The three of them enter the academy and become master’s students.”

“If you become lovers with the master first, or if the master recognizes your true identity and calls you by your childhood name, you win.”

“Of course you can’t reveal your identity.”

“If there is no match by graduation, the person with the best academy score wins. However, each of them challenges in a field that is not their own specialty.”

“The winner becomes the master’s first mistress!”

In the last sentence, Tia blushed in embarrassment.

“We are a couple, not lovers.”

“Marriage is also marriage… Alright, the mating partner….”

After listening to Luka and Yuri saying a word at a time, Tia shouted, closing her eyes tightly.

“Anything! She becomes the first woman! More!”

After her words, a huge pillar of light descended from the sky and surrounded the three of them.

It was the moment when the miracle of the goddess became a reality.

***

“Ohhhhh….”

The soldiers who were looking at the ruins of the castle from afar opened their mouths in a daze and were stunned.

Looking towards the sky as if possessed one by one. Dark clouds lift from the dark sky and light shines on the ground.

A huge pillar of light in the center.

The warmth that could be felt even from afar made the soldiers kneel down and put on their mitts without realizing it.

“Welcome to the miracle….”

“The day I see the miracle of the goddess with my own eyes….”

A holy energy surrounds all units.

It was a perfect reward.

I have been fighting for the lives of many races living on the continent. Even with death right next to them, they cut down the demons with only the spirit of sacrifice.

The soldiers were proven that their time was not wasted, and being rewarded, they were relieved and shed tears in admiration.

“What a flash….”

“Ah, like…” .”

The soldiers embraced each other and sang a song praising the warriors.

Finally, the long war has come to an end.

“General. Shall we issue an order to withdraw the entire army?”

The unit commander asked the general, Sword Saint Aisha, who was watching the pillar of light with dignity in the forefront.

“Yes.”

“Name.”

The unit commander bowed her head to show her respect, then looked at Aisha’s profile for a moment.

Even with the title of the three swords of the continent, he is not always proud and always lofty. Even now, even after seeing the miracle of the goddess, she maintains an emotionless expression without showing any signs of surprise. Each strand of her silver hair is as beautiful as a piece of art.

‘As expected, the spirit of the swordsman. Just looking at them makes me respect them.’

After a short admiration, the unit commander turned around and headed back to his unit.

And Sword Saint Aisha.

‘I’m going home now!! Yas!!’

Inwardly, I sang vain joy.
