Chapter 74.2
(EP-74.2) Aftermath #3
074 – Clean Up and Aftermath #3
「Shocking! Witch Professor Balan (32 Years Old, Single), Found To Be A Grave Robber-.」
「A Game Of Chess Resulting In Violence
? A Need For Regulation On Violent Games Spreading Inside The Ark-.」
「Nymph Hate Crime? Or A Simple Crime?」
There were quite a lot of appealing articles

Anyway, I picked one of them and read it.
「Professor Balan got possessed by a forbidden power during her visit to the ruins as a child. She was manipulated by it and forced to do its bidding, committing atrocious crimes.
Professor Balan’s punishment has already been decided, but if her lifelong study of ‘Anti-Magic Spell’ is recognized as a show of will to resist the evil force controlling her, the level of the punishment can be minimized.」
「5th Rank Elga Von Lioness, 6th Rank Mirna Von Draco and one more person subdued Professor Balan-.」

 Why was I called just ‘one more person’?
In any case, only what needed to be revealed was revealed, and what should be buried was buried.
When the situation was all set and done, the fact that this matter wasn’t disclosed as something related to Demon King Angmar probably meant the Church’s upper echelon had decided so.
Actually, I couldn’t care less.
After all, I’d already made enough gains from this situation.
I’d also managed to raise my Mage job level, which was hard to level up.
Finally, I also got to test and experiment with my spells and learned an advanced necromancy spell, ‘Gamigin’.
It would be nice if I could try out this new spell as well.
But from what I had personally experienced, the spell was very powerful. It literally had its own will and could be dangerous if used blindly without a safety net.
For now, let’s be patient.
More importantly, were there really no articles about Angmar?
I diligently searched the newspaper. After all, I was ordered by the Young Ladies of the three families to investigate the descendants of the Demon King.
This had become a funny situation where I needed to find myself

Investigating the matters of the Demon King and tracing his footsteps were things I had to do in order to revive the Angmar Family.
Hopefully, I would find something like a treasure trove that united his immense legacy and magical knowledge, influence as well as power.
Seureuk. Chareureuk.
Someone suddenly took the newspaper I was holding. When I lifted my head to see, I was greeted by a pair of red eyes looking down at me.
“You’re here, Theo Gospel?”
“Lady Mirna.”
Why would Mirna Draco appear here, in the cheap student cafeteria? I hadn’t even thought that such a thing could be possible, and I was a little perplexed.
Perhaps it was the same with the other students, as there were sounds of gossip from all directions towards Mirna, who was Ranked 6th.
━She subdued Professor Balan yesterday?
━Isn’t Professor Balan an excellent student who graduated Rank 22 from Ark?
━Single-digit rankers really are on a different level

I didn’t know why one of the people who was the hot topic in school right now chose to look for me.
Indifferent to the attention and gaze that were pouring on her, Mirna sat down in front of me without showing any change in expression.
“My Lady, what brought you here?”
“It’s because of what happened yesterday, Theo Gospel. Otherwise, would I have bothered for an hour to find you in a cafeteria far from the dormitory?”
“You’ve spent an entire hour looking for me?”
“That’s not important!”
Charreuk.
Mirna opened her fan and covered her face.
“Theo Gospel, the spell that you used yesterday
 The one you used when you subdued Professor Balan.”
There was a big buzz around Mirna’s words.
━That guy defeated Professor Balan?
━That Theo Gospel guy is only around Ranked in the 300th’s.
━No, as far as I know, he was originally close to a 1000th

The people listening to Mirna’s words had their tongues tied by the surprising information.
Thanks to this, I now had people’s attention. I was stuck in a difficult position. Mirna then continued in a clear and loud voice, as if she wanted everyone to hear it.
“I applaud you for taking down Professor Balan with great skill.”
━What in the world, he really defeated Professor Balan!?
━Professor Balan got knocked down by a Half-Nymph? Was he really the guy who played the ‘Last and First’ word chain game against Efside?
━No, it could be real. Didn’t Conde from the SILVERS collapse even without this guy laying hands on him? He didn’t even hear the spell uttered. Don’t you know that Conde is in the infirmary right now?
━What is real? Who’s right? So is he weak or strong?
People were confused.
I was worried that the confused people would cause trouble, so I spoke out clearly to them.
“I merely hit a blow at the end. Even without me, Elga-nim and Mirna-nim would have done well enough.”
“That is true. But, Theo Gospel, it’s also true that because of you, the situation became less troublesome. In that sense, you should be proud of yourself.”
“
 I see.”
I noticed that Mirna was doing this on purpose to compliment my deeds and let others know about my greatness.
Naturally, one question creeped up.
‘Why, exactly?’
But the answer to that question was soon revealed, as Mirna said behind her fan.
“Humility is the virtue of the Church. Seeing that you bear the surname of Gospel, you must be practicing it well. However, the light would never be obscured by darkness and go unnoticed. It’s the same as the salt in water, you would be able to taste it.”
“
 My Lady, what exactly are you trying to say?”
“And, Theo Gospel, the fact that you fell in love with me and courted me is also a clear truth. There’s no need to hide it now.”
“Ah
!”
“I, Mirna, don’t want the person courting me to be considered a nobody. And I don’t want my dignity nor the Draco Family’s to be undermined.”
━Did you hear that?
━He courted her!
Mirna Draco, this woman

You really chose to reveal it in public?
It never even crossed my mind as a possibility, this was completely unexpected.
Wasn’t she the one who felt ashamed of being courted by a commoner? Why the sudden change of heart?
Perhaps, was she being manipulated by an evil necromancer?
—Belial-.
I tried to cast a spell on her. But without any change, Mirna continued talking in front of me as if it were natural.
“Show your capabilities and don’t bring shame to me and my family’s name.”
“That
.”
“You can be proud. Although not my number one priority, you’re one of the people that could be counted on one hand as my engagement partner
 No, within two hands! And you are the only commoner.”
Huhuhu— Mirna laughed.
I
. I internally screamed.
“Shet
.”
“Shet? I know that word too. Don’t you commoners use that whenever you’re very grateful and happy?”
