The Eternal Debauchery's

hero saves girl in trouble.

A few seconds after the desperate scream faded, I released the young man.

His body fell helplessly to the ground, his mind shattered at such a point that he was unable to form a coherent thought.

Surprisingly, even though the young man was in such a condition, the item on him was not activated and no teacher came to check on him. It's because I manipulated the formation to hide everything that's going on here.

The information I got from this young man's mind was somewhat limited, but I managed to piece together the rest of the puzzle thanks to the information I knew before, plus the things I learned when I used (Akashic Sight).

Mm, it's a lot more complicated than I thought.

It seems like Alan's goal this time was not only to get rid of me, but he also wanted to take advantage of the situation to consolidate his ascension to the emperor.

Using hundreds of lives to pave the way to the throne. Very cruel, but effective.

Moreover, the resources he and his allies invested in this plan were incredible. They did not hesitate to move all the chess pieces they had collected in the academy, plus some powerful powerhouses, and a large sum of money; among others.

Unfortunately for him, this plan was destined to fail. In fact, even if I was a normal prince, and Alan managed to kill me, his plan would still fail.

From the moment others showed interest in this expedition, Alan was destined to suffer a setback. He would probably have survived only after suffering a huge loss.

But even if he was destined to fail, it was different if I was in his place.

I can play the same game.

And I played it better than him.

Let's see ... Where should I start?

By scanning my mind, I found the answer.

Then, I took another step across the space and disappeared.

…

Iris frowned when she saw the two people who appeared in front of her.

Although he did not know them, judging from their age, they looked like third or fourth year students.

Their auras were strong and solid, clearly emitting a fourth layer of mana. This point was what made Iris worried.

As a fourth-tier practitioner herself, Iris clearly knew that she could not face the two of them alone.

In fact, Iris wasn't good at fighting, so she would even have trouble facing one of them, but at least that way she would have a little hope.

“How unlucky.” Iris smiled bitterly.

But despite the obviously unfavorable situation, Iris was not ready to give up.

So, he threw two fireballs and kept them on standby, ready to launch at any time.

But to his surprise, the two young men in front of him did not attack.

Instead one of them bowed slightly while smiling.

"Miss Iris, we're here on Prince Bryan's orders to bring you to him."

Iris surprised. The next second, he furrowed his brows. “What are you talking about?”

“As you heard. Prince Bryan sent us here to come for you."

Iris' first reaction was that the two young men were lying to make her lower her guard. However, he threw away that thought quickly. It was common knowledge that her relationship with her fiance was not the best. Moreover, such a lie was almost unbelievable.

Then, the other choice is…

"That's impossible! Communication magic tools are banned in this tournament. Tell me, how did you get in touch with Prince Bryan? No, from the very beginning, how could you join hands so quickly!? It was too coincidental when the expedition started just a few minutes ago. ”

The young man did not reply, but the smile on his face gave him an ominous premonition.

“... Unless the expedition was rigged..”.

“Nona Iris, will you come with us? This place will soon become dangerous.”

Instantly, a barrier surrounded him.

Now, he only needed to wait until a teacher came and he would tell him everything. Once the institute found out about this situation, they would immediately take corrective action.

But when he saw the two young men in front of him, he realized that they were still relaxed and calm.

'Maybe ..' An absurd thought appeared in his mind.

But when five minutes passed and no one came, the thought turned to fear and despair.

"Impossible…"

“That barrier will last for another five minutes, Miss Iris. I hope you consider our proposal during that time. ”

Iris turned pale. With gritted teeth, he looked at the two young men menacingly.

"What is Bryan planning?"

“It's not for us to talk about.” The young man replied. “If you want to know, you can ask the prince yourself when you meet him.”

Iris scowled. "And if I don't want to?"

“Then we have to make things difficult for you, miss. I'm sure Prince Bryan won't mind if you suffer one or two injuries. Oh, the barrier will break soon. ”

Iris' expression turned pale.

He knew that if he went with them, the end of his life would not be good. Maybe Bryan wouldn't have killed her, but torturing her didn't rule out the possibility.

Escape? Who is he fooling? Although the iris is the fourth layer as well, the iris is a witch. His speed was much lower than a soldier.

And with the strength of his fourth layer, it was impossible to learn any useful escape spells.

Thus, he could only fight and fight.

As soon as the barrier fell, he shot out two of his fireballs, one towards each of the youths.

However, the two youths dodged his attack with quick movements!

Then, one of them attacked from the right and another from the left. Their attacks were quick and precise despite the fact they used a blunt part of their weapon.

Iris grunts. A mana barrier formed in front of him, stopping their attacks for one second. During that time, he chanted the strongest spell in his arsenal, the spell he had just mastered.

“(Fire Whirlpool)!”

“Ugh!” One of the two youths was swallowed by the fire vortex, making the protective talisman on his body active and creating a barrier.

But at the same time, the barrier where Iris broke!

And having just used a powerful spell, he was unable to use another spell any time soon.

The other young man's weapon enlarged before his eyes. Iris could see the weapon coming towards her threateningly.

In a last-ditch effort to fight back, Iris tries to dodge the attack, but the enemy skillfully manipulates her weapon, sending it into her stomach.

'… No…'

Desperation invaded Iris. He could see a future where his hope of happiness was forever lost before his eyes.

But just as he was about to give up, a familiar back appeared before him.

Then, the sword was stopped by someone's hand.

“Hero saves the girl in trouble. I've always liked such tropes.”

Iris' eyes were wide open.

“Clause!”
