TL: Eevee

12. Its not over til its over (7)

Excuse me arent you a staff member of Yugrasia?

I felt cold sweat trickle down my back.

Iyah, its Sir Reia. Its Sir Reia who I havent seen in a really long time.

I met a good friend~ not, rather an old colleague who if I met I was f***ed.

Uh staff well if you ask me than then technically I am

My voice was shaking.

It was like this because I was in front of Sir Reia.

Of course, this was an act.

The opponent was a member of the Areis House, a marquisate, and in the running for the title of the greatest swordswoman alongside the Sword Star.

On the contrary, being blaz about it would be the more suspicious thing to do!

You dont have to be so nervous. Im looking for someone that should be here, by any chance do you know where Professor Nicerwin is?

Ah, P, Professor Nicerwin?

I knew where he was.

Because the man shivering with one hand on the door handle was Professor Nicerwin. That is, me!

A, as far as I know Professor Nicerwin is currently watching the students matches with the other teachers

I replied normally, faking a slightly shaky voice to return the most normal answer.

But an absolute shocker came in out of nowhere.

Oh by the way, Im getting married.

Lies!

The entire area was swept in silence.

It was quiet. Far, far too quiet.

Griiittt.

And the sound that broke that silence, was that of someone grinding their teeth.

As I ever so slightly lifted my head up to see the source of the sound.

Why do you think grit Im lying gggriit

There was Sir Reia gnashing her teeth as she glared at me.

-Ow mai goodness, owner got baited!

The metal bats shock was conveyed to me, but I couldnt help it.

It was Sir Reia, of all people.

I heard that THAT Sir Reia was getting married without a single moment to prepare myself to hear it.

Theres no way I wouldnt be surprised, no would there?

Grit really Her Highness said hed definitely fall for it if I said that but if he really did

In her eyes right now, around 10% was joy that she could finally complete Her Highnesss mission, and 40% anger that Id actually fallen for this trap.

And around 50% was her shame at her past self that thought that this trick would never work when Her Highness first suggested this plan.

On that matter I will listen at a later date. Get him!

The knights by Sir Reia didnt even bother to respond as they ran at me.

Damn it!

At the same time I opened the slightly ajar door and blocked the knights charge with the door

Bang!

What the?

Out of the way! Im cutting it down!

Clang!

Sword ki couldnt?

Hahaha, idiots! This is dwarven reinforced glass!

After stopping the knights charge I locked the door.

A sword enhanced with sword ki slammed down onto the door to try and break it, but this glass door would not break from that.

Although it looked like translucent glass, it was actually special Black Anvil magic glass made of mithril.

There was no way I could make the students escape route weak.

Out of the many facilities in this building, the ones that had been taken care of specially were the exits, the doors and windows.

Move! And some of you, get in through the windows!

I should run.

I heard Sir Reias voice as well as a heavy explosion.

Although it wasnt broken in a single attack, the door wouldnt be able to hold out against a swordsmasters strikes for long.

Yap yap yap.

The place I moved to was my office on the 1st floor.

It was one of the places where I could activate and control every trap in the academy.

If its this much then everyone except Sir Reia would have problems getting through

These were the traps that had fended off over 1000 Yugrasia students.FiNd updates on

Even the imperial princesss knights would have a hard time getting through.

And in that time, I would run away through my escape tunnels, it was the perfect plan!

-But owner, ya sure theres no one in the academy?

-Of course. All the staff are out watching the imperial festival to cheer the Yugrasia students on.

Because the action I took was to go ahead and stick my head in the direction those swords were moving in.

Urrrgh!

I just had to be alive.

In other words, they absolutely had to capture me in a living state.

Therefore if I was at risk of dying, they would have to keep me alive no matter how they went about doing so.

Kuwuhhhhhgh!

Kaaaaaaaaghh!

And I aimed for the opening it created.

As they twisted their bodies around off-balance to pull their attack back, I gave them both one fair bat strike each.

I ignored their screams as they fell down the stairs and continued running upstairs.

I cleared the 4th and 5th floors, and similarly, I held my own body hostage and cleared the 6th, 7th floors as well.

And once I got through the 9th floor where they were still wearing uniforms despite there not being any classrooms on that floor, I finally managed to reach the 10th floor.

But

Why is there nobody here?

Had they not expected me to be able to make it to the 10th floor?

Even though they posted people all the way to the 9th?

He cant run any higher!

Get him!

I felt extremely uneasy about this but I didnt have a choice.

The knights were already hot on my tails behind me, and Sir Reia was outside the building.

I could only believe in my preparations and hope that everything went according to plan!

-Where ya going owner!

-The rooftop, of course!

Normally in movies youd see the protagonist get away in a waiting helicopter.

Naturally this world didnt have helicopters.

Instead you could summon wynerns or drakes instead, but I could not do those things.

And so in an unexpected line of thinking, on the rooftop I,

Made a secret passageway to the basement!

Normally common sense dictated a route to the basement would be built on the first floor, but there was a risk that the students desperate to escape would be able to find it.

And so I had a firemans pole installed inside one of the pillars on the roof, and made it so that I could slide all the way down to basement with it.

-Why not just make stairs?

-The bigger it is, the easier it is to be discovered.

Emergency exits are something only I should know about.

Even in the organization I was nearly caught because Sia caught wind of my lifeline.

There were no idiots that would fall for the same trick twice in a row after 20 years in an evil organization.

Because the idiots that did were caught ages ago and were either executed or rotting away in an imperial jail cell!

-Probably. If ya caught this time owner then ya weally gonna get dwagged off to the hella obsessive imperial princess.

This kid is saying something disgustingly foreboding.

I put on a pair of gloves and used my tool of the trade (metal bat) and knocked in a pillar in the corner of the classroom where the student council had once lived in.

Inside the destroyed pillar was a metal pole.

This was my secret move that would save my life!

Now, time to escape!

-Tho you didnt even get ta make bank!

My hands nearly slipped off the pole at the metal bats words.

Damn it.

I really, really hadnt wanted to think about it!

Dont chip in like that out of nowhere. Worst case scenario I actually will die.

Despite its appearance, it went down around 12-13 floors.

Even if I wore safety gear and dwarven-made gloves, if things went wrong then I could die just like that.

Careful, careful.

How much time had passed as I slid down.

I could finally see a faint light, and the moment I jumped down into a perfect landing!

Whack!

Kuhk?

I felt something strike the back of my head.

Ara? So it really doesnt work?

A surprised voice.

The owner of that voice was my former workplace boss and the worst person I could hope to meet at this moment in time.

Why, is that

And the object in her hand was something that I had once made frequent use of.

Ah, this?

As the imperial princess held up the wooden bat whose aesthetics fit her title of princess not one whit, she smiled beautifully as she gave me an answer that did not suit that smile at all.

I took it.

Rein, you little you had it taken from you!
