Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 53: In The Mean Time

Atlas looked towards the person coming through the door and saw Irene. Atlas couldn’t hide his surprise and happiness. He did not expect Irene to visit him.

"Irene..." Atlas muttered.

Irene closed the door to the room with a smiling face and then sat in the chair where Abraham had just been sitting, bringing herself as close to the bed as possible.

"It’s good to see that you are well..." said Irene.

"How did you get into the room? Are the student committee members outside?" Atlas asked with great curiosity. The rooms of the middle and upper level students, and especially the rooms of the upper level students, were opened by special locks or mana of the students.

Since the aura and mana of each living person was different, this was a very important thing for security. Only the leader and deputy leader of the student committee and a few professors were allowed to open the doors with special keys.

Only at important times and in case of danger.

"There are three professors in front of the door, Atlas, standing guard for you," Irene said, and then added, "I said I was your friend and I got in."

"That’s...too insecure. What if you’re not my friend and you’re coming to snuff out my life?" said Atlas.

"Hahahaha!" laughed Irene, unable to contain herself, and holding Atlas’ hands, she said, "You can’t imagine how happy I am that you’re okay and you are just making jokes."

Atlas could see Irene’s eyes tearing up as she sat to his right. It had only been a short time since he had even befriended her in this life, but Irene looked like the same Irene he had always known. She was just like the girl he had met in his previous life.

Lonely but friendly.

"Likewise, I’m glad you’re okay," Atlas said, unable to explain how tired he was after all that sleep.

"You’re tired, aren’t you? I just came for my daily visit, Professor Abraham said you were fine when he left the room; he recognised me, so it was easier for me to get in," said Irene.

"Oh! That’s why they let you in, otherwise, I would have had to question this security breach," Atlas retorted.

With that, Irene stood up and left the room, saying, "Get some sleep, rest, you have many lessons behind you, I will help you."

Atlas closed his eyes and then gently said [Dear gods and goddesses. Irene will be a very good alchemist in the future. If you trust me at all, help her. Be sure you will meet the best alchemist you have ever seen.] and after a short time, he fell asleep.

The main event was taking place in the capital of the empire, in the throne hall of the huge main imperial palace inside the capital city of Orion.

Emperor Aether and Empress Aelia sat on their thrones, while Crown Princess Minerva and Prince Lars stood next to Eva.

The throne hall was filled with nobles. Everyone’s gaze was stern and focused on one place.

In the centre of the throne hall, perhaps a metre or two away from the stairs leading up to the thrones where the emperor and empress were sitting, three men were kneeling on their knees.

Even the entire families of these men were looking at them with disgusted eyes, and their gaze was becoming more and more serious by the second.

"Marquess Mark Tiiron, Earl Elvis Acheron and Baron Elisius Gorn, you are brought to your knees in the throne room of the empire for the crimes you have committed against the empire, against humanity and against all races," Prince Lars suddenly said, the young man acting as the emperor’s spokesman.

The three nobles could not open their mouths. And by that, they literally could not open their mouths. Their mouths were sealed with sealing spells, and they were not allowed to say a word in their defence.

There was no way to protect or defend themselves anyway. Everything had changed after the list given by Atlas.

Eva, together with the army under her command, raided exactly 16 noble districts, killed almost twelve thousand devil worshippers, and then captured the nobles who were the ringleaders of all this.

In just two weeks, the imperial capital and even every corner of the empire had been cleared one by one thanks to teleportation spells.

The Epsilon Empire, which seemed to be the happiest and safest empire, had actually managed to achieve this state outside of the illegal and known black markets.

The empire’s spies went into the black markets and managed to clean them up one by one. Within a fortnight, over three hundred slave and drug markets had been broken up, slave lists had been taken, and over forty thousand people of different races had been rescued and sent to safe homes.

Soon they would be able to work and become well enough to serve the empire that had rescued them. ƒreewebɳovel.com

For two weeks, agreements were made with kingdoms and other empires outside the empire.

The Epsilon empire had exactly 4 Sages living in it and 7 Aura Masters on top of that. No one but Eva was fighting for the empire and no one but Cordelia was in favour of the empire.

Yet all these powers chose to stay in the safest and calmest place, the Epsilon Empire.

And that meant only one thing.

[There was not a single place to oppose the empire.]

So it was not difficult to find the nobles or nobles who traded slaves outside the empire and execute them quickly.

In just two weeks, a total of almost a hundred thousand people lost their lives.

To call it a massacre would be an understatement.

This brought us to the present after a short research, processing and continuation. The time when Atlas dived again and the eyes of almost all the gods returned to the throne hall.

Lars looked around, looked at all the nobles, and then turned to his father and received approval from him. It was time for the punishments to be announced.
