I Got a Fake Job at the Academy

‘Then I’ll have to get out of here, too.’

She was waiting just in case she had to intervene, but she no longer needed to and just as she tried to move she found a familiar face coming out of the hall with a huff.

‘He’s the key master, isn’t he?’

The key master whom she knocked out was looking for someone with bloodshot eyes.

“This is so annoying. I used enough strength to make him faint for as long as possible, but was it not enough?’

It was hard for her to go out easily because the key master was guarding the exit.

She tried to go out through the back door, but the people have already been instructed to block it and if this continues, she will be trapped.

‘Just because the door is blocked doesn’t mean there’s no way out’

Violetta walked lightly to a window. She is now on the fifth floor but she opened the window wide and looked down slightly. Vehicles and citizens were seen passing by with scarlet streetlights.

The Kunst auction house is also a hotel and has a higher height than the surrounding buildings. However, Violetta did not care and carefully lifted her skirt and turned her foot over the window frame.

“Shall I go?”

She sat by the window and jumped down. At the same time, the black parasol held in one hand was wide open and surprisingly, Violetta did not fall to the floor, but rather floated in the air.

The wind pushed the parasol and she floated higher. No one saw her because she was dressed in black and it was already dark outside.

Ordinary flying magic uses the method of <Mana Emission> but Violetta is still inexperienced so she used another method. She combined her specialty the wind element with the <Telekinesis> learned from Rudger.

Violetta, who flew far away in the wind through the black parasol, fell gently out of reach of people and soon before the time limit ran out, the last communication was sent via the portable communicator.

“This is Mary Poppins. I escaped the Kunst auction house safely.”

As soon as she tried to move to the hideout, she felt something and paused.

A child was looking at her with his eyes wide open. She thought he happened to see something coming down from heaven.

“Shh.”

Violetta put her index finger to her mouth with a playful smile and the little boy nodded blankly, unable to close his open mouth.

“Hey, are you ready?”

Seridan, who was sitting in the driver’s seat of the truck that had been prepared at the entrance, looked back and asked.

Four people in black armor, the symbol of Blackguard, were busily loading the truck.

“It’s precious, so be careful with it!”

“Oh, my God. People would think it’s yours.”

“Hey Hans, what did you say?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

The members who loaded all the items settled in the luggage compartment of the truck.

“Did you finish loading? Then, we’re going to leave now”

“Oh, wait. I’m getting off here.”

“Why? Did you leave anything behind?”

“It’s not that. I have something to give you.”

Hans took out an item he had collected in advance from Vault 3. It was a sculpture that seemed to be part of something and also a fragment of a relic.

This was the most fundamental reason why Rudger pushed ahead with the operation and Hans intended to hand it to Rudger himself.

In fact, Rudger even told him to bring it to him in the last communication.

“Go ahead. I’ll catch up with you soon.”

“Really? Okay. Well, it doesn’t matter if we go without you.”

Hans, who took off his black armor, immediately changed into a suit and headed inside the auction house. The tight guards, who would have guarded the entrance before, were now very lax in handling what had happened inside.

Hans went into the auction house naturally without anyone doubting him. Unlike when he sneaked in through the back door a while ago, his steps toward the main gate were confident.

Hans, who was moving with the desire to quickly deliver the fragment of the relic he had taken to Rudger, stopped for a moment.

“What is it?”

As he passed by a restaurant, he noticed a group of four people in black suits sitting in one corner. On the surface, it was not particularly strange, but Hans smelled a strange odor from them.

‘Something’s wrong with them…’

He glanced at the suspiciously and at one point people’s screams rang out throughout the auction house and a commotion began to occur. As if it were a sign, the group of black suits began to rise from their seats.

Hans felt his whole body bristling when he saw they took out wands that only wizards could use.

“Oh, my…!”

At the same time, a shady, muddy black spell swept the surroundings.

* * *

‘What’s going on all of a sudden?’

Rudger was quite embarrassed by the unexpected explosion. At first, he thought Seridan could not suppress her instincts and eventually caused an accident, but he immediately erased that speculation from his head.

‘The silence of fire is always active in this auction house so explosions can’t happen in this place.’

That means it happened in a different way, not with gunpowder. Was it magic or something else?

It doesn’t matter what it is. The problem is who did this. If they’re the ones who caused the explosion and confusion in a place like this.

“Stay still, everyone!”

“All the people who move will die!”

They must be obvious guys.

“Who the hell are you guys? You don’t know where we are? Argh!”

“I told you to shut up!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

When the middle-aged man, who had stepped forward fearlessly, fell down bleeding from his head, the guests realized the seriousness of the situation and started screaming.

Looking at the crowd that made a mess of the auction house in an instant, Rudger realized that the situation was going badly.

‘How the hell did you get into the Kunst auction house and how dare you do this in such a heavily guarded place?’

“Ah.”

Rudger, who thought so, now realized where the Blackguards who were supposed to protect the inside the auction house, and sighed quietly.

‘Is it because of us?’

The Blackguards guarding Kunst are now trapped in the underground storage room and the lift is broken, so he doesn’t know when they will come up. As a result, no one can quickly overpower the intruders.

Of course, there is internal security, but the guys who appeared now are far from ordinary. From clothes to the weapons on hand it was clear that they came here determined to rob this place so they must be prepared and the difference in power is overwhelming.

Normally, they wouldn’t have acted but now things are different since more than 80% of Blackguard’s power has been locked underground under Rudger’s plan, the best opportunity for them to move has come.

Of course, the guests have bodyguards with them but they’re here to protect them not the auction house and the intruders were aware of that.

“Eat this!”

A green mist spread out in an instant and the escorts clenched their teeth when they saw that it looked dangerous.

“Stay back! Don’t touch it!”

A fight to protect someone is much more difficult than a fight to simply take down the other person. After all, for the escorts it was enough to keep their employers safe, so there was no need to fight the intruders with a sense of justice.

“But for that matter, there’s a disturbance…….’

Rudger’s keen hearing caught a subtle roar elsewhere. Aside from those who are on the podium, collecting valuables that have just sold out, there are other groups who have broken into this Kunst auction house.

It was the price of the disappearance of the inhibitors that kept the criminals out of action.

Many people have been waiting for an opportunity and now they showed their greed but the problem is that it was now.

“There are crazy black wizards!”

Someone came screaming into the auction house. His skin was ruffled with black veins, something like a curse used by black wizards.

He was one of the big guys watching Rudger and now was screaming with his eyes turned upside down. Soon the man foamed, fell to the ground and died.

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Run away!”

“Get out of the way! Our employer’s escape comes first!”

“Don’t disturb me!”

The escorts tried to protect their employer, and those who have not yet figured out the situation. People died, there were explosions everywhere, panic and screams.

Those who ran away, bumped into each other, got tangled up, and spouted abuse. In a flash, the auction house became the center of chaos. It was like a scene where someone evil set up a large basin and poured a lot of mud called despair on it.

‘I have to get out of here, too.’

Since I achieved my purpose of visiting the Kunst auction house anyway, I didn’t have to stay here anymore. In addition, there were a lot of invaders and even black wizards were moving to rob the auction items.

In addition, the sound of fighting elsewhere made it clear that there were more other groups involved.

Rudger, who was trying to escape naturally mixed in between the fleeing crowds, suddenly remembered that he had given Hans a separate instruction.

He asked Hans to bring the fragment of the relic.

‘Did he get out safely?’

Usually, he was a quick-witted guy, so he should have gotten out of the way. Obviously, it was natural to think so, but Rudger felt a strange sense of unease.

* * *

‘Oh, what is this?’

Hans realized that he had fainted for a moment.

He felt the texture of the marble on his cheek. When the hell did he fall?

He tried to stand up with that in mind.

‘I can’t get up.’

His whole body was drained of energy. When he desperately put strength in his hand, his right hand moved properly. He rolled his eyes and looked at his right hand.

‘Where did the sculpture go?’

His hand, which had held the relic fragment until just now, was empty.

Hans raised his head with difficulty. People were lying around, and in between, he could see people in black suits moving like ghosts.

The evil smell of death they exhaled was clearer than before.

‘Black Wizards.’

‘Damn it.’ Hans lamented to himself.

He didn’t expect black wizards would rob the Kunst auction house on the same day as them.

‘Is this happening because the Blackguards are gone?’

Hans, who tried to close his eyes and pretend to be dead, suddenly found one of the dark magicians holding the relic piece that he took from him when he fainted.

It may seem like a useless thing to just look at, but the black wizards may recognize the value of the fragment.

‘No, you can’t.’

This was something to deliver to his brother. It was not an item those damn black wizards could take.

Hans’ mouth moved before he thought about how to recover what was taken away in this situation where his body was not moving.

“Give it to me.”

“Huh? What? He’s not dead yet”

The black wizard, who took the relic fragment sculpture from Hans, heard Hans’ murmur and approached him.

He used curse magic around him to get rid of all the annoying humans, but he didn’t expect there were survivors.

“Give me that…….It’s a gift for brother.”

“Oh, this?”

The dark wizard smiled at Hans, who was staring at him, kicked him hard in the side and started laughing.

“What do you want me to give you?”

Hans, whose body was turned upside down, lay down looking at the ceiling. The black wizard, who was trying to kill Hans, smiled when he saw the black veins rising up on his skin.

“Looking at you, I don’t think you’ll be able to live long anyway. I’ll show you mercy and not kill you myself.”

He said so, but he meant to let Hans struggle to death in pain but Hans could not refute any of the black wizard’s ridiculous remarks.

“Huh. Heh.”

Hans gasped desperately and clenched his teeth. He had no strength in his body and it was hard to breathe.

He felt that his body was gradually dying.

‘If it wasn’t me who was here, but someone else?’

What if it were Alex, Pantos, or Arpa?

If they were here they wouldn’t have been sprawled on the floor like him. They probably wouldn’t have lost the item they had to deliver.

‘I’m weak.’

The rising helplessness made it difficult to bear the misery. Even if he clenched his teeth and tried to endure it, he couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

He was afraid of fighting and only ran away, then he met Rudger, and he was able to do what he was good at without fighting but Rudger wasn’t here.

In his absence the idiot named Hans was nothing more than a weak coward who could not do anything.

‘I’m…’

Gradually, breathing became difficult and he felt his lungs breaking.

The curse left by the black wizards was encroaching his body but Hans squeezed out all his remaining strength and moved. He took out an object with his trembling right hand.

It’s a dagger. However, it was different from an ordinary dagger.

Ordinary daggers had sharp blades but this one had a rough ivory tooth instead. Hans looked at it with trembling eyes.

“Damn it!”

He thrust the dagger into his abdomen with all his might.

* * *

“Everyone, escape this way! Calm down!”

“Don’t push! Be careful!”

“What are the guards doing?”

Rudger, who was mixed with the crowds of people escaping, stopped walking while trying to go outside.

“What? Don’t stop!”

“Get out of the way!”

Ignoring the shouting crowd, Rudger looked back. His sense of anxiety, which had been complaining for a while, sounded the final alarm.

From the far back of the auction house, the smell of nightmares that he had encountered a long time ago flowed in the wind.

“AAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!”

The cry of a beast rang out.
