Chapter 263 – Old Relationships
“Take a good look. “With this level of power, you can definitely achieve whatever revenge you want.”
“!!!”
Even though it is far away, the voice is clearly pierced in my ears as if the distance between spaces has become zero.
The student, hurt but still burning with revenge, trembled.
However, for a moment, I realized that the owner of the voice was Jun, and as the voice said, I opened my eyes wide and started looking at him.
‘There will be a hole somewhere.’
The student never took his eyes off Jun.
Instead of being offended by that persistent gaze, Jun burst into laughter.
“What kind of tyranny is this!”
At the same time, the people Jun had been anxiously waiting for appeared.
Faculty members of the Imperial Academy.
As professors at the academy, they are responsible for improving students’ knowledge, experience, and skills, and further instilling the correct values that all people should have.
They stood face to face with Jun, as if they were fighting against each other with stiff faces.
“If anyone sees you, they will think you are an uninvited guest. I came there after being invited. So, straighten your face appropriately.”
“… I’m sorry given the situation, but it seems difficult. Rather, let me ask you again. What kind of tyranny is this? How can someone who is as powerful as a cardinal treat nobles like that?”
The half-bald old man who secretly caught my eye when I came to rescue Elysia.
He poured out his passion at Jun, his face turning bright red and blood clots forming on his neck.
So much so that anyone would think that Jun had broken the law of heaven.
“Haha. How can he come out so unexpectedly?”
Although it turned out as expected, there was a faint hint of disappointment in Jun’s smile.
Of course, Jun wanted his professors to betray his expectations.
I wanted him to put down all positions such as nobles and cardinals and only consider the good and the bad.
But Professor Kkondae did not do that.
A sense of privilege as an aristocrat was deeply embedded in his words.
A few of the professors standing behind him frowned as if they were uncomfortable with that fact, but it was only a minority and most of them accepted the old professor’s words without any hesitation.
When I saw the student with the look in my eyes that I liked, the thousand dollars that had calmed down a little soared fiercely again, as if burning my reason.
I wanted to bring the professors to their knees right away, but you can’t jump to conclusions based on just one word.
Jun said, struggling to maintain his composure.
“They insulted me, no, the common people, calling them insignificant. And that’s in front of the academy, where the class system is restricted according to the emperor’s strict orders.”
The Emperor’s rank system restrictions are not limited to the academy.
As soon as noble students crossed the main gate of the academy, restrictions were placed on the entire neighborhood to prevent them from harming commoner students.
Of course, there was no way that could be followed, but the law itself was like that, so Jun’s punishment was justified in its own way.
“Bah, but the cardinal’s punishment is too much!”
“If a commoner insults a noble, their head will be taken off immediately without a proper trial. Wouldn’t that be a much worse thing than that?”
“Of course, since he’s a commoner… Ah.”
An old professor who realizes his mistake in the middle of a conversation and hurriedly closes his mouth.
However, the important part had already come out.
“Is it natural because you are a commoner? “Is it natural for someone to lose their head just because they cursed?”
“Well, that is…”
“How is that normal, you fucking bastards!!!”
Jjajajajaeng!
Wow!
Shake it off!
Jun’s profanity echoes throughout the area.
At the sound, which was reminiscent of the roar of an angry dragon, the windows of the building broke and people sat down in fear.
Some weak people even lost consciousness and fainted.
“Do not be ridiculous. “Don’t make me laugh.”
However, even though he expressed his anger like that, the dragon’s anger did not subside.
As if the space were a servant of the dragon, it reacted with anger and weighed heavily on the area.
“Hi!”
“I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong…”
The angry dragon’s gaze turned to the faculty.
Wherever they went, those who boasted of being the elite of the empire begged for their mistakes like scared children until their hands were worn out.
Yong-eun and Jun looked down at them coldly and said.
“All humans are equal.”
“No one is insignificant and no one is noble.”
“At least that’s how God created humans. “You guys weren’t born nobles because you were noble.”
“It was just luck for a noble to be born a noble, and it was just unlucky for a commoner to be born a commoner.”
So, respect each other and live satisfied with your own life.
After saying that, Jun raised his head and looked at Rumbledore, the academy’s dean, who was looking at him.
“Dean, the church makes a suggestion. The current academy’s policy seems to have strayed far from its original intention. “Please revise the current policy in line with our initial goal of nurturing talented individuals regardless of social status.”
Hehe. I understand. I will definitely do that. Is there anything else you can say?”
“Please tell the students. I was told to never show my family seal while I was attending the 10-star lecture. “I will destroy whatever it is the moment I see it.”
Rumble Door laughed out loud as if he was relieved and nodded.
――――――
The reason why the Imperial Academy held a grand opening ceremony even though it was the end of a temporary break rather than a vacation was to raise awareness of the presence of the academy, where the future of the empire gathered, and to publicize the health of the empire to the world.
It was the first ambitious plan prepared by the newly formed imperial leadership in accordance with the coordination between the church and Emperor Arthur, and therefore, the school opening ceremony should have been held as successfully as possible.
“···Am. Lastly, I hope that there should never be any distinction between classes within the Academy. Over.”
Clap clap clap
A famous person whom the imperial leadership had brought in with great difficulty noticed someone standing in one corner of the auditorium and hurriedly came down from the podium.
Afterward, soulless applause from students and parents echoed fleetingly throughout the auditorium.
As the process was already repeated several times, the administrative officer dispatched from the leadership began to laugh heartily as if he had lost his mind.
He soon came to his senses thanks to the touch of an acquaintance and glared at someone who had noticed him as if he were going to kill him.
“And. That guy is amazing. How dare you glare at the Heavenly Demon? Right honey? “No, Heavenly Demon?”
“I told you not to call me that.”
Keep going! Keep going!
“Ugh. That’s right~”
Jun pulled Iris’ cheek, which was as soft as glutinous rice cake.
Iris complained that she didn’t like it, but he didn’t stop.
So who wants to make fun of her heavenly husband?
“Darling, people are staring.”
“Hum.”
It was just as Elysia said.
Even though he had taken a seat in a corner instead of his original assigned seat due to the work he had done, everyone in the auditorium was looking at him, including everyone.
Especially when the administrator ruins our plan, and you just play around with your wives! He was looking at me with a look of resentment.
Jun noticed and cleared his throat and took his hand away from Iris’ cheek.
Well, that didn’t make people’s eyes disappear.
“This concludes the opening ceremony. Students, please prepare for classes in the afternoon, and parents who attended the school opening ceremony, please leave the school.”
In the end, even until the school opening ceremony was over, the people in the auditorium did not take their eyes off Jun even for a moment.
Thanks to this, Jun felt suffocating pressure for the first time since he reached the yellow level.
“Yeo~. Sir, I heard you did something as soon as you arrived.”
“I heard it was really cider. If you’re going to do something fun like that, you should have told this teacher!”
When the school opening ceremony was over, Bu-seong and Do-seong, who were nearby, came up and playfully tapped him on the shoulder and side.
It was a mischievous prank, but Jun, who knew well that the two people’s actions were to take care of him, laughed along and quietly accepted the prank.
The faces of the people who were secretly looking in this direction, pretending to see if their intention had worked, became more serious.
‘I guess I’m having trouble because the relationship between me, my father, and my daughter seems to be closer than I expected.’
Jun looked at those with serious expressions with his keen gaze.
If something happens to you in the near future, it will definitely have something to do with them.
“You guys, do it in moderation and let my little brother go.”
Soon after, Gungseong hugged Jun as if putting an end to it.
The speaking volume was also raised appropriately so that everyone remaining in the auditorium could hear.
As soon as they reached the palace, all the people of interest shook their heads and left the auditorium.
“Whew~. Thank you, teachers. Thank you, sister. But is it okay? Since you took my side, something troublesome will definitely happen.”
“Do not worry. Do you think we’ll fall apart to the point where it’s just a nuisance?”
“What Father said is right. And if it bothers you, you can just go back to the mountains and fields. Oh, and don’t be disappointed in them for not coming with Geomseong, Pyeonpyeong, and Changseong. Unlike barbarians like us, they have positions and people to take responsibility for, so they can’t do whatever they want like we do.”
“Yes, I know.”
Geomseong was the head of a noble family and the owner of an army, and he was also the head of a noble family.
Changseong’s current status and property were confiscated, but he had been promised that he would get them all back if he accumulated various achievements, including this lecture.
There was no way such people could get involved in this commotion.
Even if they tried to intervene, they had to be forcibly excluded.
Of course, because of this commotion, Jun…
“Little brother, are you sure you’ll be okay? “If we are not careful, this commotion could cause the empire to collapse.”
Because it will come into direct conflict with the class system that is the foundation of the empire.
