110 - - The game seems to have been decided.
Alexei is worried about the strange turn of events.
Bringing Princess Marianne and Prince Laius into the Numbers would further disturb the country.
Whether they agree or not, the fact that they have joined the student group of the aristocracy would have weakened the king's appeal to the princess as the next queen, not to mention the queen possessed by the demi-god.
The opposition of the existing members is to be expected.
The reason why they were not informed in advance was to avoid any information from being leaked to Shiva. It was also to prevent the wise princess from suspecting that he was serious. The number 4 in particular is very emotional and cannot be expected to perform.
He was confident. Confidence that he could bring the princess and the prince into the Numbers, even if only formally.
(Charlotte's squire girl ...... that was a painful irregularity)
I had no idea that he would make such a wild proposal as << let's settle this by fighting directly>.
(Was he aiming for it from the beginning? If that's the case, it must have been Shiva or Harto's idea rather than hers.)
I shudder in fear that my intentions have been seen through. At the same time, I smile with delight.
（It's funny if you consider me an enemy. (If you identify me as your enemy, I'll be amused...even if I end up in a bad way...)
Alexei came to the central building of the institute.
He knocked and entered the Dean's office.
In front of him sat Theresia Montpellier, the dean of the institute, at her desk.
I am sorry to ask so suddenly. I need to talk to the Dean about something ......, but I don't know who might be listening, so please whisper.
She will understand that I am <
In fact, Theresa took it that way. However, she did not.
"Shiva already knows that you are possessed by a demon god, doesn't he?
He dared to say it. Even if Shiva did not know, he must know now.
"...... I'm in trouble. I thought you were not on our side, but not on their side either.
"That is correct, Alexei Gubeluk. It's a question of which side you put more emphasis on. I am the one who will destroy the demigod, no matter what the current situation is.
"God, not?"
It's the same thing, isn't it? Because we don't need the ghosts of the divine era in this day and age."
"I see. But there seems to be a slight misunderstanding. My identity is that of Alexei Gubeluk himself, and I have only borrowed a part of the knowledge and power of the demigod. I am not like her.
"Do I need to mince words now? I'm not like the queen. It seems that Zahra Yessel has transferred it.
It seems silly to keep a secret from the public after being exposed like this.
"Zahra contacted Shiva, and the remnants of the demons that escaped from her captivity came to me. Does this explanation put you at least a little bit at ease?"
Theresa says without changing her hard expression.
I am also wary of Alexei Gubeluk himself. You are a very serious and talented student, but your underlying ideology is dangerous. You are a very serious and talented student, but your underlying ideology is dangerous.
Alexei's cheeks relaxed involuntarily.
"What's so funny?"
No, I see that you are an educator whom I respect for your insight into my true nature. On the other hand, you are only a "god-killer" in the memory of the demi-god. I can't help but think it's funny that you lead young people.
"...... you didn't come here to talk about such useless things, did you? Tell me what you want."
Alexei cowered.
"Yes, yes. Actually..."
He tells the story of the fight between the princesses and the Numbers members at the previous meeting. While concealing his own intentions, he lays out the premise that he wants to "cross factions and join hands with each other.
"What you really want is to ...... well. But I can't allow students to fight each other in a duel.
"Nor do I want lives exchanged. Shiva would not be happy about that.
"Then we can have a team-style mock battle in the arena to ensure safety..."
Alexei interrupts Theresa's suggestion.
"No, that's another thing I'd rather not do. Even if we forbid the students to enter the campus, they might find out about the magical battles. It would be fine with me to make a big deal out of it, but I'm sure the other members would not allow it."
"On the other hand, off-campus, we teachers are limited in our response. We cannot allow it.
Yes, of course. That's why we would like to make the competition format acceptable to teachers.
"You want to ...... the format of the competition? Are you going to do away with magical warfare?"
Alexei nods broadly and tells them.
"We're going to explore the Olympian ruins," he says.
The institute has expertise in safety management, as it is also used for graduation exams.
"If it is a competition between two teams to get something and come back, it should have been done in the past graduation examinations. There was a condition that they were allowed to interfere with each other. How about that?"
"Depending on the degree of interference, then, well, ....... But things are not right at the ruins right now.
"The demons have completely disappeared."
With a twitch, Theresa's one eyebrow jumps.
"To be precise, all the demons are gathering at the bottom level. To be precise, all the demons have been gathering at the bottom level since Hurt Semphis and his group went there.
"You seem to know a lot about it."
"Don't look so scared. I've heard that a servant of the demon god has done something wrong. I'm not here to clean up the mess, but I'll take care of it.
Theresa thinks silently for a moment and then replies.
"...... Okay. We will allow it. But we will set the rules.
Yes, that's fine. I want to play it fair, too.
Alexei smiles with a smile on his face, and Theresia wonders how much he really means what he says.
（You heard me, though, didn't you? You can handle anything that happens, can't you, Shiva?)
Of course, she herself will be very careful, but she has high hopes for the unidentified man who may still be her ally...
Meanwhile. Hurt, on the other hand...
"HUGH! ............ mnya"
He was sleeping in his room.
