Chapter:234 The Unbreakable (2)
***
“They disappeared from outside?”
Jake nodded in confirmation.
“Yes, and it’s not just near the academy. Students who returned to their homes for vacation or family reasons have also disappeared.”
This explained why the academy was so quiet. It wasn’t something that happened at the academy.
“Do you think it’s Sla’s doing?”
Jake asked Damien. Damien fell into thought for a moment.
In Salik’s memory, Sla was inside the academy.
Of course, that didn’t mean she couldn’t have kidnapped the students who went to their homes. She could have just ordered her subordinates to do it.
But it couldn’t be determined for sure that it was Sla’s doing. The students could have disappeared for different reasons.
“How many students are missing in total? Do you know who’s missing?”
“I haven’t been able to investigate everything. I’ll just tell you about the students I heard about... there were eight in total.”
It was more than he had thought.
“They were all of noble birth. Count Philip, Viscount Glader, Viscount Wools, and...”
Jake mentioned the students’ families one by one.
Damien tilted his head at each family name. He had heard them somewhere before. But the memory didn’t come back to him right away.
“Ah, the families I mentioned are all famous families in the empire. They are all families with special bloodlines.”
Damien’s eyes flashed at the word ‘special bloodlines’.
There are cases where mysterious abilities are passed down through generations.
For example, the ability to convert mana into a special attribute, or the ability to move faster by absorbing mana into the body.
Such families were said to have ‘special bloodlines’.
‘I see why it comes to mind. I heard that Sla was once devoted to research on special bloodlines.’
The reason Sla was one of the strongest giant evils was thanks to the countless researches she had conducted.
And one of the researches Sla had done was on special bloodlines.
She studied families with special bloodlines and tried to make their power her own.
‘I wondered why Sla was hiding in the academy. It was to study bloodlines.’
All the nobles of the empire gathered at the academy. Nobles from families with special bloodlines were no exception.
The academy was the perfect place for Sla to study special bloodlines.
‘Even people from the same family have different levels of bloodline. She probably found students with strong bloodlines and had her subordinates kidnap them.’
In that case, there was a high probability that Sla was disguised as someone who could meet the students directly.
‘Then I have to exclude all the staff.’
The staff had no occasion to meet the students as they carried out their academy duties.
‘Instructors should also be excluded.’
Different instructors taught different grades for the same subject. It didn’t fit Sla’s purpose.
“I would like you to investigate the missing students in more detail.”
“What kind of things should I focus on investigating?”
“Who they met before they disappeared. Who they were close to on a regular basis. Investigate their relationships.”
“I understand!”
Jake nodded and said.
***
Just before dawn, the students of Class 13 gathered in the lobby of the dormitory.
All the students of the academy used the same building. So it was not difficult for Class 13 to gather in one place.
“Everyone, follow me.”
“Oliver, are you sure about this?”
“Just trust me.”
Oliver led the students with a confident expression.
Oliver then led the students to a wall in a corner of the lobby.
“Just wait a minute.”
Oliver took out an old piece of paper from his pocket.
“Didn’t I tell you I found this in the library? If you tap the wall according to what’s written on this paper...”
“I get it, so hurry up and open the door!”
“Who are you trying to act cool for?”
The students’ protests rained down. Oliver immediately became discouraged.
“Okay... I’ll be quiet...”
Oliver tapped a few bricks with his fingers. Then, with a scraping sound of stones, the wall rose up.
“Wow, wow...”
“There was really a passageway?”
The students all reacted with wonder. Oliver became cocky again.
“But... is this all open?”
“The door size is... a bit small, isn’t it?”
The hole that appeared as the wall rose was very small. It seemed like they would barely be able to pass through by crawling.
“Do we really have to go through here?”
A male student asked with a trembling face. Penelope then spoke to the male student.
“Half-hearted violence will achieve nothing. It will neither subdue you nor save me from looking foolish.”
[PR/N- If violence doesn’t solve all your problems, you’re not using enough of it.]
A chilling gleam shone from Damien’s eyes. The students swallowed dryly.
“T-Teacher...? We, we never looked down on you, n-never.”
“If that were true, you wouldn’t have tried to escape like this. I clearly warned you yesterday that I wouldn’t let you go if you skipped training and ran away.”
Damien tapped his club on his hand as he spoke.
“Let’s start by hitting you a bit to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
The students’ faces turned pale.
The time when the darkness that covered the sky receded.
Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!
On one side of the academy, the sound of clubs being swung could be heard incessantly.
***
After beating the students for a while, Damien dragged them to the training ground.
“Start running.”
As soon as they arrived at the training ground, Damien made the students of Class 13 run just like yesterday.
“The ten who fall behind will die by my hand.”
However, the only difference from yesterday was that the punishment was more severe. The students of Class 13 had no choice but to run for their lives to avoid Damien’s club.
“T, teacher! M, master! I think I’m going to die! No, I think I’m already half dead!”
“Don’t talk nonsense and get up.”
It was no use collapsing even if they couldn’t take it anymore. This is because Damien was constantly injecting his divine power into the Dawn that he had placed in the training ground.
Thanks to this, the students’ injuries and stamina were recovered in real time.
In this way, the students were forced to work themselves to the bone until lunchtime.
“It’s almost time for lunch. Let’s stop the morning training here.”
At Damien’s words, the students all collapsed to the floor. The floor was soaked with sweat, showing how much they had sweated.
“Pathetic! You’re collapsing after just running this much.”
Just as Damien was watching the students, there was a commotion at the entrance of the training ground.
“Oh my...”
Blanca was sticking out her tongue as she looked at the training ground.
“What’s going on here?”
“I heard that the students of Class 13 were training, so I came to check it out. I thought it was a ridiculous rumor when I first heard it, but... it’s true.”
Blanca looked at the students with a curious expression.
“What kind of magic are you using? How are these little frogs listening to your orders?”
“I persuaded them sincerely, and they all understood.”
At that, the students all glared at Damien. They looked as if they were going to kill him with their eyes.
“You’re really amazing... No one at the academy has ever been able to handle these kids. If you keep this up, They’re sure to get good grades in the exam.”
“It’s still a long way off. I don’t know what will happen even if I try my best to train them like this.”
“By any chance, do you need any training equipment? We recently purchased new training equipment, so we’re going to get rid of the old stuff.”
“I would be grateful.”
As the two of them talked, the students couldn’t help but feel terrified. They were already dying from the hard work, and if they were also included in the knight training equipment, they might really die.
***
While conversing, Damien slyly observed Blanca.
‘It’s highly likely that Sla is someone who can freely interact with students.’
The White Blood Knights Order was in charge of the academy’s security. However, that didn’t mean they only stayed within the academy.
They would often go outside to deal with external threats such as thieves or monsters, and sometimes even escort students to distant regions.
‘Moreover, she’s approaching me a bit too frequently.’
Since coming to the academy, no one had come to visit Damien. Everyone disliked him, after all.
Only Blanca had been visiting Damien. In many ways, it was suspicious.
“Sir Damien, it’s mealtime. Shall we go together? I know a good restaurant.”
Blanca said to Damien. Since Damien was already suspicious of Blanca so he readily nodded.
“Sounds good. Let’s go.”
Before leaving the training grounds, Damien said to the students,
“Everyone, finish your meals and return here. We’ll have sword training in the afternoon.”
***
After that, Damien went to the restaurant Blanca had recommended and had a meal.
During the meal, he continued to observe Blanca, but couldn’t find anything suspicious.
‘I suppose I have no choice but to use a crude method.’
The best way to uncover Sla’s disguise was to actually fight her.
No matter how perfect Sla’s disguise was, she couldn’t imitate the movements of a Master Class.
However, it wasn’t a method that could be used carelessly. If person wasn’t Sla who he thought, Damien might end up getting backlash in his plans.
“I’ll wait for an opportunity to challenge Blanca to a duel.”
Thinking that, Damien returned to the training grounds, only to witness a bizarre scene.
“Even pathetic guys like you know how to make an effort, huh?”
“Why is everyone so quiet? Why don’t you say something?”
Two students were mocking Class 13.
