Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 73.2

Alicia looked at their faces with great amazement.

“What are you guys doing?”

“Since it has come to this. Alicia, why don’t you join the Peacemakers?”

After a while, Oswald, who had parted ways with the group, entered the headmaster’s office with Gilgamesh.

“Hmm. . . . . . I never thought you would come back after being corrupted.”

“I didn’t expect it either, Headmaster.”

“Your mind is still intact.”

“Yes, well. . . . . .”

“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do about corruption.”

“Well, even if you can’t get help in that area, you can help me in other areas.”

“What is it, Student Oswald?”

“Please call the saintess in the administrative department of the academy.”

“Hmm. . . . . .Indeed, that’s true. Okay. As the headmaster, I can make that request for the students.”

“Thank you.”

With that, the headmaster left. . . Gilgamesh noticed that something was up with the headmaster.

“He’s a little different from what I would expect from a gold-level wizard. . . Is the headmaster another being that I don’t know about?”

“Well, um. . . . . .You could say that. I can’t tell you exactly. . . . . . But if it’s good for us, it’s not going to hurt us.”

With the appearance of First Prince Valentine, the Heresy Inquisition Bureau was unable to achieve what they wanted and returned.

However, since they had already secured all the evidence of Oswald’s excommunication, they planned to excommunicate Oswald through the church as soon as they returned and to judge him again later.

Oswald, who had returned safely to the academy with the help of the Peacemakers, received the help of the headmaster.

Meanwhile, First Prince Valentine went to the emperor and reported everything he had seen and heard.

“In the process of finding Alicia Valian, the paladin and academy student Oswald Winchester, who belongs to the Order of the Holy Knights, has fallen?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmm. . . . . .Is he worth saving?”

“He is a student who played a major role in the recent Capital Chaos Dungeon. Furthermore, his family is the Winchester family, which belongs to the Senate.”

“Then let’s rephrase that. Can he be saved?”

“As far as I know, he is personally acquainted with the saintess. Wouldn’t it be possible to purify him with the saintess’s holy power?”

“Hoo. . . . . .”

“Furthermore, he is a champion of Chronos who has been chosen by the holy sword ‘Moonlight’. If the church were to excommunicate such a talent. . . Wouldn’t this be an opportunity?”

“Hahaha, yes. If he can be reformed, he will be the best talent. Good. It seems that the headmaster has already made a decision about him, so I need to respect the headmaster’s opinion.”

“Then I will take my leave.”

The emperor looked at the first prince, who was walking away with a pleased expression. He soon nodded and made up his mind about something he had been thinking about.

Estell, who opened the door to the headmaster’s office, stopped.

Even though she had heard the whole story from the headmaster on her way, Estell felt complicated when she saw Oswald, who had been demonized, right in front of her.

“Why on earth did you do such a reckless thing?”

“Haha. . . . . . There was no way to rescue the hostage from the demons. But I had you, so I thought I’d give it a try.”

“Really. . . you’re. . . . . .”

At that moment, the Guardians, who had sensed the demonic power, tried to enter the headmaster’s office. However, Gilgamesh blocked their way.

They were furious that a mere student would dare to block their way. . . But then they were overwhelmed by the energy emitted by Gilgamesh.

“Wait. . . . . . Don’t you think we need to sort out the situation outside first?”

“Ha. . . . . . Yes, I’ll go out and explain everything.”

Estell went outside and mediated between those who were in the middle of a battle of wills. Then, Dante, the saintess-fanatic, stepped forward.

“Are you okay, Saintess?”

“I’m fine.”

“However, demonic power was detected inside.”

“I know.”

“Yes, you know. . . yes? Why are you so calm even though you know?”

“Anyway, I have to offer a prayer of purification, so don’t get in the way and stay still!”

The saintess, who had retorted a little irritably, went back inside, and the Guardians looked at Gilgamesh with strange expressions and waited for a while.

“He’s just a student. . . But a Grandmaster. . . . . .”

Abel muttered to himself with a subtle expression as he glanced at Gilgamesh. Then, the absent-minded Dante interfered here as well and teased Abel.

“Why, are you in love with him?”

“What if I was?”

“You’re old and have no conscience. . . . . .”

Puck!

In the end, the absent-minded Dante was hit by Abel.

Even though they were putting on a show in front of him, Gilgamesh stood guard without batting an eye. In a way, it was so unshakable that it made one think he was truly remarkable.

Estell stayed by Oswald’s side all day long and offered prayers of purification. Thanks to her, only the demonic power in Oswald’s body disappeared, and the other abilities that had risen or opened up due to the chaos essence he had absorbed this time remained.

Of course, there was still the disadvantage that the level of holy power had decreased. . . but as the prayer level increased, he would have more holy power than before if he prayed diligently.

“Thank you.”

“If you’re grateful, buy me something delicious. You know I worked hard, right?”

“Yes, I’ll check the time and buy you something delicious.”

“There’s a restaurant called ‘Dragon’s Nest’ that’s so good these days.”

“Oh? Has Dragon’s Nest opened up here too?”

“Yeah, I haven’t tried it yet.”

“Hmm. . . . . . Oh, by the way. I think I’m going to be excommunicated.”

“Excommunicated?”

“Um. . . . . . Somehow, the Heresy Inquisition Bureau showed up at the scene. . . . . . Thanks to that, I ended up fighting them while I was demonized.”

“How come?”

“They were trying to accuse Alicia of being a heretic and kill her. . . is there any way? I had to fight back.”

“I’ll. . . I’ll try to talk to them.”

“No, I can’t let you get hurt because of me.”

“But this is definitely a conspiracy! A demon of Chaos kidnapped a student and lured you in to corrupt you. But the heretic inquisitors showed up as if they were waiting for you? This is definitely a conspiracy!”

“Maybe it’s a good thing. I won’t have to be tied down by the Order of the Holy Knights anymore. . . . . .”

“But will the church leave you alone?”

“I’m still an academy student. And. . . . . .”

Oswald pulled a greatsword out of his magic pouch. Then, holding the scabbard, he drew the greatsword. . . ‘Moonlight’ showed its form.

“If anything happens, I can just show them the holy sword.”

“Sigh. . . . . . Yes, if you can get out of the Order of the Holy Knights, that would be better. Still, it’s a shame.”
