Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy-Chapter 633: Warrior (1)
The king opened his mouth, but his words did not fit the atmosphere of the room. Rene shot him a puzzled glance as well.
The Fairy Queen, who had just spoken those lines, was fluttering her wings in excitement.
"I’ve always wanted to say that line! It’s from a novel I borrowed from Lady Partlan, and it sounded so cool!"
"Was this really the time to say that?"
"If not now, when?"
The Fairy Queen tilted her head as if she didn’t see what was wrong, and Rene gave up on trying to convince her, simply raising his sword.
Your Majesty, you’re underestimating me too much.
"Eh? Why? It’s an objective evaluation. A man who’s dirty and unattractive is out."
We’ll see how long you can keep playing around.
The king furrowed his brows, and as he raised his hand, the entire building seemed to obey him, attacking Rene and the Fairy Queen.
"This is amazing. It’s like a scene from a fairy tale!"
"Is there a fairy tale where the protagonist is a necromancer?"
"Of course, they’re the enemy!"
"Then I must be the hero."
"That depends on how you look at it!"
Rene responded to the castle’s movements, which sought to trap, strike, suppress, and drop him, only with movement. Then, he saw the sword the king held tightly.
A legendary sword passed down through the royal family, forged to slay evil. It was ironic that it now lay in the hands of evil.
"Grandmother, would it be alright to borrow your power now?"
"Indian magic will guide you."
As the Fairy Queen’s hand touched Rene’s eyes, a path appeared within them.
This was not a path Rene had created, but a path that destiny itself was leading him toward.
"However, whether you can walk this path or not is up to you."
"I like it. I’m satisfied."
Though most would see this path as vague, Rene was content simply with the fact that his path had been revealed.
After all, he had spent his life walking along roads made by others, without knowing why.
He had lived his life repeating the best he could do at each moment.
So, seeing the vague path, Rene smiled.
What difference did it make how to walk it?
It didn’t matter. If this was truly the path that destiny had set, he would gladly walk it.
The moment he took a step, the sword the king swung cleaved through everything in front of him and flew toward Rene.
Rene swiped upwards with his sword to deflect it, and a wall suddenly rose right in front of him.
With a laugh, Rene stepped on the wall and leapt. At that moment, a magic prepared by the king aimed directly at him.
Seeing the curse, which obviously looked dangerous, Rene scattered the holy water infused with divine power around him. The dark forces were powerless before the divine.
As if moving the wall himself, Rene stepped firmly on the floor beneath him and leapt forward again.
How did the ancestor get here!?
I’m not sure, but something’s happening below. Well, those in this place aren’t the type to just stand still.
But it’s not yet time to jump in. Even though it seems like an opening, there’s still a long way to go.

Damn! I had it almost caught!
As the aura spread, the size of the room shrank. Now, there was no place for Rene to escape or retreat.
The choice given to him was one.
To move forward.
Surprisingly, moving forward was precisely the path the Fairy Queen had shown him.
So, Rene gladly charged toward the king.
Don’t struggle!
The divine energy still lingered near Rene, laced with the aura of the curse.
Ah. So that’s why the saint was looking at him so intensely.
Fulfill the purpose of your life!
Rene easily deflected the wildly swung sword. It was light, truly. His older brother’s sword would’ve been heavier.
It’s clear that His Majesty isn’t skilled with his body.
You were born to become flesh!
Ha ha. Now I understand why teenagers drive their parents crazy.
Rebelling is more fun than I expected.
What I’m doing now is closer to treason than rebellion, but it doesn’t feel bad.
I guess I was born a rebellious brat after all.
With a self-mocking laugh, Rene continued on his path.
Sometimes with magic. Sometimes with a sword. Sometimes through movement.
In that moment, as if carrying out the best he could in the situation, his movements were clean, as though he had already seen the future.
The 1st Queen’s obsession with preparing the best body for the king became a blade that even the king could not block.
Thus, Rene, without a single wound, reached the king and without a moment’s hesitation, struck with his sword.
This is an order! Don’t resist!
At that moment, the command engraved on Rene’s soul stopped his feet.
It wasn’t just an uncomfortable feeling.
It was a binding sensation, as if touching a hot flame, as if looking down from a great height, or the instinctive recoil when seeing blood.
A restraint felt on a primal level.
Damn you. To trouble me this much.
Seeing Rene frozen like a doll, the king cursed, stepping toward him and grabbing his chin.
Well, it’s fine now.
Your fate was already sealed.
“Are you forgetting me? I’ve never permitted you.”
Freed by the Fairy Queen’s touch, Rene severed the king’s neck with his sword.
Even though he was a disembodied necromancer, he was helpless before a blade blessed with divinity. The necromancer’s form scattered, and the room returned to its original state.
“Tch. If you say you helped, you’ll get full of yourself.”
“Still, you should say thanks properly. You need to raise your favor a bit.”
“I never said who I was talking about.”
“I’m the same, you know?”
At the Fairy Queen’s playful laugh, Rene covered his face, biting his lip but deciding to follow her advice.
As he had said before, I couldn’t claim it wasn’t my fault, so I should make the effort.
He was my first and last friend. With a hollow laugh, Rene lowered his sword.
At that moment, an indescribable feeling of unease gripped him above his head.
Following the path that had appeared in his eyes, Rene rolled forward and froze when he saw the man’s face emerging through the broken ceiling.
It was the face of the king Rene had just defeated.
More precisely, it was the face of a withered mummy.
“Didn’t you find it strange?”
The voice of the old man came from the mummy’s mouth, where teeth had long disappeared.
“Did you think there was nothing to make you into the tool for your role?”
“...No way.”
“A skilled space magician carries their own pocket dimension.”
The mummy smiled as it ripped through its own skin and raised a hand, from which a blackened orb appeared.
Rene hurriedly tried to swing his sword, but the mummy was faster, shattering the orb.
“Do you think you failed because you were too slow?”
“What do you mean?”
“To explain specifically, the contract was already completed before you arrived. Obviously. You should’ve known what would happen when the gods sent heroes here.”
With a laugh, the mummy snapped its fingers, and Rene’s mind grew distant.
As the Fairy Queen’s power returned his vision to normal, Rene saw the Fairy Queen’s expression, which had lost its earlier confidence, and he began to understand the situation.
“Impressive. You managed to block the divine power of the evil god who shared the world with the gods.”
Rather than answering, the Fairy Queen hid Rene behind her.
“Follow the path and run.”
“But—”
“Don’t argue, move now. I can’t hold out for long in my weakened state.”
“There’s no way.”
“...Really?”
“Yes.”
Rene was someone who could coldly assess his worth.
He knew that staying here would only lead to more variables, and if he had the chance, he would’ve fled immediately.
However, Rene couldn’t move because he couldn’t see the path.
The magic of guidance the Fairy Queen had given him had spoken.
His fate had stopped here.
“What’s the big surprise? There’s an end before you, so there can be no future.”
The mummy, who had planned to handle things quietly, now seemed slightly troubled but never doubted its own victory.
With the powers of the evil god, Agra, who divided the world with the gods, who could possibly stop it?
It was a haughty attitude, but neither Rene nor the Fairy Queen could declare that the king’s arrogance was wrong.
The oppressive aura reminiscent of the age of myths felt like despair itself.
Impossible.
There’s no way out.
No matter where I go or what methods I use, it’s impossible to escape from his grasp.
In that case, it might be better to destroy my own body.
At least by breaking myself first, I won’t be used by the evil god.
Ah, so this is where my fate ends.
As Rene tightened his grip on the sword’s hilt, the mummy burst into laughter.
“Well then. Struggle. Run away from your end. Let’s see if you can... Kuh!”
Through the broken wall, a girl appeared.
With her long red hair flowing, not a trace of fear in her eyes, her playful gaze showing clearly as she grinned, she kicked the mummy’s face and sent it flying across the room.
“Gloomy Prince, where’s the piggy?”
“You just kicked it.”
“What nonsense is this!? The pig is a fat animal, not some frail guy who’ll die from seeing a naked woman!”
With her naturally provocative tone, Lucy scratched the king’s nerves, and Rene couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Why did the world, which had been dark just moments ago, brighten up the moment you appeared?
Why is the path, swallowed by darkness, now revealing itself again?
Are you the symbol of hope?
“...Why do I feel the disgusting energy of that bastard from over there!?”
“I told you. That’s the pig.”
“How much did you squeeze it to make it look like that?”
“Why is there dirty talk in this situation!?”
Thinking about it, it’s not that strange.
You’ve always been my hope.
“So? What did you imagine that made your face turn red?”
If you want to play the hero, I’ll gladly take on the tragic role.
