Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 210.1
Shadow of the Demon Part I
“As a result, it has been decided that the academy will not be closed, and we will have to wait and see.”
“…I see.”
Elena nodded quietly at Mikhail’s report after returning from the castle to Elena’s residence at the academy.
Mikhail, now a member of the princess’s entourage, spends half the month at the castle learning from the Prime Minister and gathering information to assist Elena in political matters.
This time, something that looked like a [Demon] was spotted near the academy, and Mikhail took this information back to the castle, and came back with a response to whatever discussions had taken place between the vizier and His Majesty the King.
“I am sure that His Majesty the King has no choice but to take such a decision.”
“I think so too.”
“No, is that all right with His Highness and Mikhail?”
Rockwell, who was listening to the exchange between Elena and Mikhail, interjects with a look of disbelief.
His feelings were understandable, but it was expected to some extent.
The reason why the information about the demon’s appearance was not considered important was not because the reports of me and Viro, as witnesses, were downplayed, but for the simple reason that the school cannot be closed at present.
The previous closure of the academy for several months due to the Evil Race attack had raised concerns among the nobility about the security situation at the academy. If it were to close down again now, the very reason for the academy’s existence would be in doubt.
The Magic Academy aimed to raise the average of the Kingdom’s nobility by having the upper nobility develop specialized studies and a political outlook, and raising the knowledge and education of the scattered lower nobility. The students’ emphasis on meeting other nobles and finding a fiancée was only an afterthought.
The reason why local nobles send their heirs to the academy, aside from the central nobility, was because they believe that graduating from the academy itself would be a sign of adulthood, but they also send their legitimate sons to the academy because they think they could learn safely there, and they use it as a substitute for loyalty to the royal family.
The Royal Academy of Magic was considered a safe place alongside the royal capital under the prestige of the king. If it were to be closed down one after another, it could lead to distrust of the royal family.
“Mikhail, if you keep quiet about the presence of demons, you will be putting your students at risk.”
“We know that, Rockwell, the problem is that we don’t know why the demon appeared. It could be aimed at someone in this school, or it could be a spontaneous outbreak… There is also the line that the target is not the academy, but the royal capital or the Holy Church.”
When Mikhail answered Rockwell’s question, Elena, who was reading the document handed to her by Mikhail, looked up and followed it up.
“It seems that the Commander of the General Knighthood of Dandol has also agreed to this. There are plans to increase the guarding of the academy, but Lord Dandol wants to prioritize the security of the royal capital and the royal castle.”
“Father…”

This world could be filled with monsters and dangers. The more intelligent and higher-ranking monsters stay away from human settlements, and people make a living by building settlements, but once they leave, they could easily lose their lives in this world.
That was why people make weapons, learn magic and learn how to fight. The more they had to do that, the lower the value of life was in this world.
