Unsold Slaves Returned as Heroes

26. Three Chi Tongues Prevent War

“Then again, welcome to the academy, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

President Mustang got lucky while walking in the garden with Emperor Condenburg.

Professor Pedia said he would deal with the emperor, but the president, who thought it was a big deal that would jeopardize the fate of the academy, decided to go first.

Above all, it was time for exchange meetings between recommended students, so it was necessary to manage them.

In spite of the large-scale teleportation magic that would not be unreasonable to interpret as an invasion, it was the president who brought the emperor and his party into the academy with a smile.

Of course, using a soft tone didn’t mean the atmosphere was good.

Behind the two, the guards and direct guards following them were shooting fire from their eyes.

It was the best choice for him as he had already known for a long time that the emperor was a non-negotiable person.

His role is not simply to run the academy with financial resources. The ultimate goal given by the Goddess was to mediate the disputes in the academy, a neutral area.

‘No matter what, you’re really selfish. It’s possible because I have power, but I don’t mind.’

The chancellor went on to speculate why the emperor was acting more and more unreasonably and radically. Even now, ignoring the president’s greeting, he frowns as if he doesn’t like the shape of the street tree.

This is all because of his magic.

‘There was a rumor that he had reached the 8th tier. It’s unofficial that the emperor is a mage.’

The emperor was not just a man of power. She herself is a siege weapon worthy of her hero.

It is usually considered that the 7th tier is the limit that life forms can reach, and they have the job of

And engrave their names in history.

However, high level magic drives the caster crazy. The reason will never be understood by those who have reached it.

‘Professor Alencia’s condition is probably the same reason.’

Chair Professor Felia Alencia of the Water Hall always needs stimulation, so she carries the hottest variety of black pepper and inhales it from time to time.

Aside from such eccentricities, the president remembered that during her student days, she wasn’t as nervous as she is now.

High-ranking magic destroys any race. If there is a person who is not broken, it must mean that he has stronger talent and mental strength than any other great person in history.

Or a miracle enough to change fate.

“Did you go to the wedding ceremony to see the princess?”

The president asked in a relaxed tone.

Since they are the same 5 priests, they are equal in terms of occupation, and as the president of the academy, he was in fact a man of power that was no different from the commander-in-chief of a country.

Now that the threat of the underworld has disappeared, the commander-in-chief of the strongest nation, the Empire, could be said to be the strongest on the continent, but there was no reason for the president to lower his head.

“Of course, I have to see with my own eyes how my beloved daughter is doing. Isn’t that the duty of those who became her parents?”

The emperor answered with tears in his eyes.

The duty of a parent. As this woman puts it in her mouth, her weight is different. The principal laughed bitterly at her.

‘Blood is thicker than water, and mana is thicker than blood.’

It was a famous story throughout the continent that the emperor, who had no intention of having a spouse, called the adopted children the crown prince and the princess.

Some of them have already become ghosts on the battlefield because they are so good.

No matter how powerful an emperor is, when his generation ends, the imperial family will collapse, and there is a possibility that the empire will collapse soon.

That was the slogan the emperor raised from the time he ascended the throne to silence the aristocrats and legitimize the right to succeed.

It meant that children who were injected with their own mana had a more legitimate right of succession than their blood-mixed children, so keep calm.

As if proving him personally, when the second crown prince died in a disputed area with Thailand, the emperor immediately mobilized the entire army and erased Thailand from the map of the continent.

The unreasonable war weakened the national power of the empire for a while, but it was also an event sufficient to spread the emperor’s ideas throughout the continent.

‘If you think about it, the second prince must have been abandoned as a scapegoat to destroy the kingdom. But if it’s the same logic.’

The president’s worries were there.

‘Even if the second princess who entered this year fails all her graduation exams, the day she does, the academy will become a battlefield.’

Whether the non-aggression pact was signed on Keisus Academy or the protection of the goddess, he is not the kind of person who would care about such things anyway.

Of course, if a real war is waged, as the continent’s only neutral zone, there are troops to fight. Even if it is impossible to win, it is possible to not lose in about a hundred years.

But in the meantime, the academy’s functions will be suspended, so what’s the use? It’s best that the powder keg doesn’t explode. The president’s policy was firm.

“Where did your intuition ease your anxiety? She says that the princess has just ignited her passion for learning, so she needs time to concentrate before samadhi.”

My academy was a dog, so I meant to stop provoking and get out of the way.

The emperor, who read the meaning of the president’s smile, tore the corners of his mouth.

“Because he is such a fool. Even now, she is a cute child who cannot sleep without a big doll at night. So lovely.”

Then why are you sending me here? The president cursed behind his good-natured face.

“Whoops, but I’m not here to see Astley alone, President.”

Now, don’t say that there is a hidden son who secretly entered the school. The president prayed inwardly.

“Wasn’t there a great man who arrived here not too long ago? A noble and sublime person who exudes majesty just by existing.”

“There is a person right in front of you. Did you want this answer?”

Even though he understood the president’s sarcasm, the emperor answered sincerely.

“That is wrong. Jim has never truly exuded nobility. You can’t blind everyone around you.”

This narcissist has no shame in the sky. The president was confident that even if the sun were reborn three times, he would not get used to it.

“Didn’t Aisha visit us?”

“You mean ‘West Wind’ in ‘Three Swords’?”

In the eyes of the emperor, who tried to see through his own reaction, no matter how many times the war was prevented by the human world, even the president could not help but feel the horror.

To express it, it was a gaze full of desire to see through thoughts to the very marrow.

For a while, the emperor gave a satisfied smile.

“You haven’t arrived yet. That’s great. Stay with Astley and wait.”

The emperor’s request was outrageous, considering it was lightly thrown as if to eat a meal.

It is a sensitive time when the alliance is disbanding, when the semester has not even started. It was obvious what other countries would look at if the emperor stayed in the academy, a neutral zone, for several days.

“No. You know why.”

“There is no way you don’t know. It’s justification, isn’t it enough to prepare? Aren’t you the principal? He is the one who is loved by the goddess, so it shouldn’t be impossible, right?”

It was a demand to create a reason for one’s stay that would be acceptable to other countries.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible. However, it was also true that there was no reason for the president to take unnecessary risks.

“Why is the swordsman coming to the academy?”

“I’m really curious about Jim too. I’ll be sure to ask when you come. Ah, Astley!”

The emperor, who was walking gracefully, found the princess walking out in front of the main auditorium and ran to welcome her. She is escorted by her royal guards in quick pursuit.

An orientation was being held for recommended students. For them, who are all influential children, a special place of exchange was prepared.

The princess, having discovered her emperor, showed her respect by gently grabbing the hem of her skirt in her dignified posture.

A kind smile on her face. Neither the angle of the corners of her mouth nor the direction of her eyes are completely different from textbooks.

“Today is also really pretty.”

Forgetting her dignity, the emperor slightly lowered her head, met her eyes with the princess, and hugged her busily.

‘It’s like playing with dolls.’

It was when the president thought so inwardly.

―Wow!

A window on the second floor of the auditorium was broken, and two figures jumped out.

One has vicious gauntlets on both of his hands, while the other is carrying a table that has been damaged in defense.

“I won’t see you anymore, slave trader! It’s not enough to tarnish the chair professor’s honor, you constantly betray the expectations of the Goddess! A professor trying to harm a student!”

The lion beast, Growled, exposing its fangs.

On the other hand, in , He threw away a piece of metal that had been a table on the floor with a relaxed attitude and fixed the collar of his suit.

“That student poisoned another student’s drink, so I changed her glass. Oh. I knew she was originally a wicked person, but the strife won’t be quick. If anyone hears it, they’ll know that I suggested drinking it.”

“You asked me to drink poison?! You are disqualified as a professor!”

“Won. The characteristics of the lion beastman are really annoying.”

Wicker looked around and found the Chancellor and the Emperor, and took stock of the situation. He immediately held out his palm to the agitated Band.

“Stop it, Professor Band. A distinguished guest from outside is here.”

“Don’t make trivial excuses!”

“Are you trying to discredit the academy by showing off your ugliness? It’s a disgrace to the goddess’s honor.”

As soon as he heard the name of the goddess, the rushing band stopped. It was only then that he realized that the emperor was there.

“Meet John.”

Wicker bowed to the emperor. The emperor tore the corners of his mouth thin.

“Are you the newly appointed chair professor?”

“Yes. I am in charge of Her Highness’s dormitory.”

“Isn’t that nice? From , Our first daughter was also from slavery. And-“

The Emperor tried to put something in his mouth, but swallowed. The president didn’t miss the gap and went into her keyword analysis that she was trying to hide.

However, the leeway was not given for long.

“Quality is everything, and the personnel selection is certain. Isn’t that right, President?”

“Exactly.”

“Then the proof won’t be a problem, right?”

“Don’t cross the line.”

The chancellor glared coldly at the emperor.

“It is up to me and the Goddess to verify his qualifications as a professor. I don’t know if it’s Professor Band, who is also a chair professor, but it’s not a matter for outsiders to discuss.”

“Whoa.”

Mana swirled violently between the emperor and the chancellor. The moment you touch it wrongly, a creepy feeling that will swallow everything around you dominates the space.

The emperor let out a chuckle first.

“Okay. But she won’t change her plans to stay at the academy until Aisha returns.”

“He didn’t say no either.”

“President, aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Who is to say.”

Both do not back down tight. They aimed their guns at each other and pulled the trigger halfway.

“Wait a minute, President.”

A soft voice, like a cup of tea, entered the gap that was hardened by tension.

Wicker was a slave trader.

“It seems that the parents want to stay together for a while because they are worried about self-control.”

“Huh.”

The emperor was dumbfounded by Wicker’s nonsense. Like a slave trader, he was squeezing uncultured words at himself as an emperor.

However, the following sentences made me realize that it was an intentional use.

“The emperor has pure intentions of wanting to stay with the princess, but if he stays for a while, the situation may collapse as other countries will suspect the academy and the empire’s collusion. It makes for a bad picture.”

It was a slave trader who accurately grasped the situation with just a few sentences of conversation.

In an instant, the emperor’s attention was drawn to him.

“Do you have any ideas?”

Wicker answered the president’s question.

“Shouldn’t students be the main characters in the academy? Two days later, the entrance ceremony will be held as an entrance ceremony, and you can say that you are staying to watch it. It will be a reason to attend in other countries. And.”

Wicker said confidently as he turned to Band and the Emperor.

“It would be a nuisance to the president if he had to get caught up in this kind of irony every time. If it is a proof of my educational ability, I will do anything in the admissions system.”

“What if?”

Wicker declared.

“Let’s hold a dormitory festival.”
