Doggone Academy

No one from the Academy besides the two of them had to interfere. Once Gael and Flynn helped, the battle against the ghouls was easier.

“Flynn, take the left side.”

“Understood.”

The morale of the knights, who were protecting the nobleman’s carriage, rose when they saw the seal of Eternia on Gael’s armor. They were equivalent to a thousand troops.

As they continued the offensive, the ghouls’ numbers quickly dwindled.

The remaining ghouls fled.

As he watched the fleeing ghouls, Flynn said,

“Disgusting.”

Fortunately, no one was injured. Only the carriage door was damaged.

If they hadn’t helped them, everyone here would have died.

The person who looked like the convoy leader thanked Gael.

“It’s a godsend that a carriage from Eternia has appeared. Thank you.”

“I only did what I had to do.”

The nobles in the carriage got out carefully. A middle-aged couple, and a young woman who looked about 20 years old. Their attire was so glamorous that they looked like they were going to a ballroom. They were still a little startled.

The couple was surprised when they saw the carriage with the seal of Eternia. Then the middle-aged woman whispered something in her husband’s ear.

The middle-aged man said,

“If it hadn’t been for your help, we would have been in serious trouble. I thank you sincerely. I’m Count Sinatra. This is my wife, Skanya, and my only daughter, Nancy.”

He then gently pushed his only daughter from behind so that she was closer to Flynn. Nancy politely lifted the hem of her skirt.

“It’s an honor to meet two famous people in Wiesel.”

They were both puzzled.

Gael asked,

“Do you know us?”

The fact that he had come to evaluate a boy for the master class was a secret matter known only to the people involved in the Academy.

Count Sinatra said,

“Of course. Aren’t you Sylverine? And the boy is your talented student Damien? I hear he wields a mysterious sword.”

Damien?

Flynn frowned. This was the first time Sylverine had ever had a student.

Rumor had it that she didn’t like to tutor a student.

Even though it was far from the Academy, It was a slight blow to his pride that someone had confused him with another sword bearer. Posted only on NovelUtopia.com

Gael shook her head.

“We’re on a mission, so I can’t reveal personal details.”

“I see. I’ve been talking nonsense.”

“We have to go fast, more ghouls may come.”

The carriages were not severely damaged, so they could move without delay. There was no guarantee that there would be so little damage in another attack.

The carriages resumed their journey.

The nobles’ convoy was in front of Gael and Flynn’s carriage.

“He is not as the rumors said.”

“What do you mean?”

“He’s completely different. The rumors said he was a handsome boy.”

“To say that is rude when he has helped us!”

The nobles were not aware that their voices could be heard outside because the carriage door was damaged.

Flynn tried to ignore their voices. Gael didn’t react to their words either. She just stared out the window with her arms crossed.

Wiesel would seem quite calm if it weren’t for the ghouls from earlier.

This caused Flynn to be uneasy.

“Master.”

“What?”

“Were there always this many ghouls here?”

***

He got up early to read the first potion from Zverev’s research records.

The more he read, the more he admired this alchemist’s tenacity.

He repeated the experiment countless times to create the perfect recipe for the potion.

Zverev resumed human experiments after improving the recipe with ghouls. He did not know if the participants were volunteers, but the experiments continued successfully and the effects of the potion became more apparent.

The final name of the first was the Griffin Potion.

Its purpose was to help in fights that demand intense physical activity. The effects of the potion improved important factors for combat such as strength, jumping ability, reflexes, etc.

The side effects were increased heart rate, insomnia, loss of appetite, occasional nervousness, and glowing golden eyes like a griffin.

He wanted this potion very much. He wanted to use it for a while because his physical capabilities could not enhance the power his sword had.

Currently, he could kill a ghoul, but he needed this potion to face demonic beasts like Cockatrice, Ogre, Troll, and Wyvern.
