Chapter 257 – 257. Academic Festival (3)
●
“…Did you say you were Professor Astrid?”
In the silent room, Elijah barely opened his mouth.
The sentence that came before was so strange that it was clear that there was faint anger in his voice.
Speaking of being a stray cat, at least he has never done anything that would make the other person call him that –
[Warrior. A secret agent from the underworld.]
With those words, the giant’s optical lens rotated smoothly and focused on the sword Elijah was wearing.
[Angels basically don’t commit violent acts, but they have a lot of things up their sleeves. As for that archangel, doesn’t he only contact you when he wants to?]
“…yes?”
[Usually, no matter what I say, I don’t even reply, right? ‘Reply’ only when you have business.]
It’s true.
While Elijah was speechless and unable to answer, the optical lens swiveled again and returned to the other women nearby with their eyes wide open.
[Ah, the devil’s vessels. Cleaners in charge of ‘the end of the world’. He is criticized too much for his role, and it is quite pitiful because it is not his fate that he chose to take on, but from my point of view, I cannot help but regard him favorably.]
A voice that is clearly a mixture of sarcasm, ridicule, and contempt.
Even though the voice is composed of electronic sounds, the hostility emitted by the other person is not normal.
“…what is that-”
In a suffocating atmosphere, someone said that sentence in a slightly suppressed voice.
And, the thing that came back against him.
It was a flood of information that was completely incomprehensible.
[I don’t think there is anything wrong with you. Putting aside the damned ‘grey’ that created this now-stopped gear-like structure, not a single one of you would become a host for such things because you wanted to.]
“professor.”
[Please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I don’t like ‘you guys’. I don’t like what’s inside you. According to the results of multi-dimensional causal analysis, there is not a single one of you who has not killed Daoud at least once. From my perspective, you are all potential murderers-]
“professor!”
Suddenly, a thunderous shout fell.
“Kwaaagh?!”
“W-what?!”
It’s not just a shouting, it’s a simple voice that causes the air to tremble at a level that causes a ‘physical shock’ to the surroundings.
Light objects fly into the air, some people are pushed and fall, and loosely erected structures are destroyed all at once.
The noisy surroundings suddenly become quiet.
“…”
Elijah, who was watching, was so dumbfounded that he slightly opened his mouth.
No, I mean.
Since you shouted ‘slightly louder’, is it true that a small storm has occurred nearby?
I’ve often seen superhumans change the landscape with just a single swing of their sword, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone shout loudly and the surroundings explode.
And Alpha-11, who had created such a situation, sighed and quietly opened his mouth again.
“You’re talking too much, Professor. “I think you just revealed more than 10 confidential information about the Magic Tower.”
[What do you think? These are all things I observed.]
“I know that you love your son the most, but the people here have not done anything to Mr. Dowd.”
[Not yet, that is. And that’s still a serious thing.]
The steel giant snorted and crossed his arms.
[Among these people, there isn’t a single one who didn’t do something to get themselves entangled with my son, right?]
“So, it’s a bad habit of yours to freely make such assumptions-”
Alpha-11 was about to say that when he suddenly realized that none of the people around him were raising their heads properly and cleared his throat.
Because the tightly shut mouth and bright red face gave the clearest answer.
“…Isn’t everyone at an age where they are energetic?”
When Alpha-11 said that awkwardly, Professor Astrid snorted again and continued.
[Well, as you said, nothing will come out if we clean up this place right away. So everyone, why don’t you stop holding your head up. Because I won’t want any more than this.]
The steel giant’s gaze, as he said that, fell on Dowd, who was ascending the stage from afar.
It is one of the main events of the school arts conference. It’s time to present the ‘research results’ in front of everyone. Any human currently in the academy will be able to see it through the large projector provided.
“What the hell is-”
[There is nothing to know right now. Anyway, it will ‘start’ sooner or later.]
Astrid said and waved her hand.
[Anyway, since I’m talking about it, let me tell you one more strange story… It’s the ‘key to the world’ word that that kid often calls. It’s not just called that; it means that the entire fate of this world depends on that child.]
“…”
I’ve heard such a story.
Elijah clenched his hands and thought of this.
How many times has Chicheon said that? It’s the key to the world.
Dowd Campbell is more important than you think.
That’s probably what this strange person is talking about right now.
[…destroying the world.]
But, what came next was.
[In some cases, it may not be you guys, but someone else.]
at all.
It was an unexpected sentence.
[Starting today, the continent seems to be a bit noisy.]
That kind of worry spread coldly into the air.
In between.

-What do you think is the best way to eliminate war from the world?
That voice fell.
●
There is a popular belief that the most dangerous lunatics in the world do not look as crazy as one might think.
Did you say it’s called Gumilbokgeom? People who hide their swords beneath their smiling faces.
And, the man who was now on the podium and sitting on the chair had almost completely satisfied the first condition.
Something that doesn’t look dangerous.
A relaxed demeanor, a gentle smile on his face, and an even voice.
The Dowd Campbell that Selim Bronx saw was an extremely harmless man. Probably most of the people watching him right now share that sentiment.
The next words were also clear but warm.
The topic being covered was not like that at all.
“Since history, humans have pointed guns and swords at each other for all sorts of reasons. “Sometimes we did it for the greater good, sometimes we did it because of our personal beliefs, and sometimes we just didn’t like how we ended up together.”
This is something I also saw from Count Nicholas a while ago.
For one very trivial reason, humanity is a species that can be evil to each other.
In a huge group called the empire, the so-called ‘politicians’ who are prepared to shed a lot of blood for each other’s ‘fight for interests’ are probably not much different from that on a large scale.
“I’ve always wondered why people act so cruelly towards each other. Is there a way to live a little more peacefully, and is there a way to live without anyone getting hurt as much as possible? “I used to think about those things often.”
It is the voice of a relaxed and gentle dreamer.
That is why.
“however.”
“Not long ago, I had a conversation with one of the ‘headhunters’.”
The ‘change in atmosphere’ that followed from that sentence was even steeper.
“He taught me how to effectively hunt children by using their parents as bait.”
A suffocating silence spread around.
Dowd Campbell’s words remained calm. Therefore, it was better conveyed that this was a calm expression of facts without any penalty.
“It was an experience that taught me that humans are creatures that can become so cruel for seemingly insignificant reasons.”
The conclusion was therefore easier to reach.
If humans could be that cruel.
A ‘civil war’ that has already reached its peak is only a matter of time.
“People, for whatever reason. If you don’t have it, make it. “He is a being who can stab others to achieve what he wants.”
That is why.
“So, I thought about it a little bit. “Is there any way for a human unit called ‘me’ to solve that problem?”
The audience’s expressions become strange.
Due to the topic being covered and the fact that it is made out of nowhere, it is not a presentation that can be handled by a student club.
While expressions filled with questions and murmurs of suspicion were spreading everywhere, Daoud placed something on the podium.
It was a small box that came with it.
“well. “Maybe the explanation will be a little faster if you look at this.”
In the modern world, people fluffing each other’s feathers are the worst things they do to each other, so they are featured in various media.
It means that it was a peaceful era, enough to attract everyone’s attention just because such a ‘threat’ could occur.
If so, where does the source come from?
What is the most prerequisite for maintaining peace?
The answer is very simple.
“The conclusion I came to is ‘deterrence.’”
After saying that, Daoud opened the box.
And, within it.
“Able to encompass the entire world.”
‘Public enemy of the whole world’.
liberated.
