PAID Chapter 235
"The person who's supposed to go with me... turns out to be you?"
"Yeah, I was wondering who I'd be accompanying, but here we are."
An awkward smile followed. The person joining me on the gate subjugation mission was none other than Karna. We exchanged somewhat uneasy greetings; it had been a while since we'd last met like this, adding to the awkwardness.
“How’s the Royal Guard? Still busy?”
“Pretty much the same—busy and tough. It wasn’t always this relentless, but recently, with the emergence of the gates, we’ve been constantly on the move, closing them.”
The Royal Guard, being directly under the emperor’s command, primarily focused on protecting the royal palace. However, lately, they had been sent out on various external missions. They had been on the front lines during the undead uprising caused by the Elder Lich, had given up what little rest they had to find the Sword Saint, and now, they had the gate incidents to deal with.
Even for a group as loyal, honorable, and skilled as the Royal Guard, this constant pressure was bound to take a toll on their mental stamina.
“In fact, the gates you’ve been assigned to were originally our responsibility. I feel kind of bad.”
“It’s nothing. You guys are human too, you deserve some rest. Besides, if this is being given to me as an exam replacement, it shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“You’re probably the only person who’d say that about gates that were assigned to the Royal Guard.”
I knew the truth. After losing their figurehead, the Demon King, the demons had plunged into their usual infighting over power. Since we had formed an alliance with the succubi, the front lines had stabilized considerably.
This meant that forces once allocated to fighting the demons could now be redirected to subjugating gates. If these gates had even reached the Royal Guard, they weren’t going to be easy.
‘The professors must have a lot of faith in my abilities.’
After all, most of the faculty at Bellium Academy had ties to the Mage Tower or the Mage Association. Those people were basically obsessed with me, so naturally, they would hold my abilities in high regard.
