In the newspaper, there was news that took up the entire first page, accompanied by an extremely prominent title.
[Academy Hero]
Specifically, the article said that a contestant used his strength to stop a level 60 monster.
The article also clearly states that the monster is a Fire Drake, it also depicts how strong it is and how many people of the same level are needed to defeat it.
Of course, this article also clearly states how many people that candidate saved and how many academy staff members were able to escape.
There was even an image in the middle of the newspaper page, which of course was the image when Lathel used his lightening dragon combined with Anaconda Flame to create a giant dragon head.
Even though it’s just a black-and-white image, this is a magical newspaper, and the image can move like a 10-second movie.
In that footage, Lathel used the lightning dragon combined with his Anaconda flame to attack the Fire Drake and paralyse the monster, which then fell to the ground.
Even though it was only a short 10 seconds, the image was quite blurry, but Lathel’s face could be clearly seen.
When Lathel saw this article, his face turned pale like an anaemic patient.
“Is this the truth?” He muttered, his hands holding the newspaper shaking a bit.
Akna then smiled and said: “Young master, I think we should hold a party to celebrate this.”
“From now on, in this empire, the young master is one of the super geniuses, respected by everyone.”
Lathel: “…”
‘Look at my face. Does it look like I’m happy?’
‘AAA!!! What the hell is going on? A good thing like this should belong to the main character. Why is this happening to me?’
‘No OK! Alec is the one who angered this monster, and I’m the one who defeated it. Surely he will be angry with me.’
‘Even though he can’t harm me because of the peace contract, he and Harris are very close, and I’m afraid that young man will take revenge on Alec’s behalf.’
Lathel felt a headache, and he quickly asked: “Akna, how many newspapers like this are there?” Where is it distributed?
“These newspapers will be distributed to all nobles inside and outside the Empire.”
Before Akna could answer, a familiar voice rang out. Lathel and everyone else were startled as they saw an unknown blonde girl lying in the car compartment.
She lay face down on the mattress in the cab, her hands raised to her face, and she cunningly tilted her head to look at Lathel.
“L-Lusha?! Why are you here?” Lathel asked, startled.
He remembered very clearly that when he entered the carriage, there was only him and Akna inside, no one else.
Even when the maid opened the door, he never saw her enter.
How could she appear here?
“Hehehehe… that’s a secret…” Lusha said with a smile.
Lathel: “…”
“Forget it; I want to ask you about this newspaper. Can you recall it?” Lathel asked hurriedly.
“Heh?! Why should it be recalled? Do you think there’s anything bad about this newspaper?” Lusha was confused and tilted her head to look at Lathel: “Is it because I haven’t highlighted your strength, or have I not described your handsomeness?”
“No, what I mean is… Wait! Are you the one who wrote this article? Lathel suddenly stopped for a moment. He raised the newspaper in front of Lusha and asked.
“That’s right.” Lusha nodded and immediately admitted: “Hehehe… how do you feel about this article? Is it great or not?”
“Do you know that in order for me to write such a good article, I stayed up most of last night?”
“Don’t worry, this article is perfect, it describes your strength and your heroism very clearly. Everything is absolutely perfect.”
Lathel: “…” (ˉ □ ˉ 」 )
“No, Lusha, you… What I mean is… I can’t appear in the newspaper like this.”
“Hm?! Why not?” Lusha asked confusedly.
“Because… Aiya! It’s a very long explanation, but in short… can you recall this newspaper?” Lathel quickly asked: “If there is any damage, I will compensate you.”
“Hm… I’m sorry.”
“I will double the compensation.” Lathel said firmly.
“Lathel…”
“Triple.” Lathel continued speaking. After all, he now had a lot of gold coins, so compensating for publishing a newspaper is not a big problem.
*Sigh* Lusha sighed: “Lathel, the problem is not money. The problem is… this newspaper was released last night, there is no way to recall it.”
“Besides… even if we recall this newspaper, it would be meaningless. What you have done is known to the high-ranking nobles and royal families of other kingdoms.”
Lathel: Σ(?Д?; )
Hearing that, he felt like he had just been struck by lightning. He also forgot that everything he did was seen by others through a type of tracking magic.
“Heh?! Why are you so disappointed?” Lusha asked confusedly: “Everyone wants to become famous, and they want people to know how strong they are.”
“You are so strange, you always hide your true abilities, showing off your weakness and cowardice.”
“Actually, you are very brave. In times of danger, you usually show your abilities, just like you rushed into danger to save other contestants.”
“You even tricked the Fire Drake into going somewhere else to completely minimise the casualties and rescue the academy staff.”
“Lathel, do you know that if someone else did what you did, I’m afraid they would want the whole world to know.”
“And you… why do you want to hide this?”
Hearing that, Lathel sighed. He wanted to explain, but he knew that even if he explained, Lusha and everyone might not understand him.
“I can’t explain clearly, but… if this becomes known to many people, I will be in danger.” Lathel sighed as she spoke.
“Other influences also don’t want someone like me to appear. The academy principal also told me that… my life is in danger.”
Hearing that, Lusha laughed loudly: “Hahahaha… Lathel, you’re really cowardly.”
“You are also very strange; you are willing to rush into the sea of fire and face a terrible monster to save everyone, but now you are afraid of being killed by people.”
“Aw… You’re both adorable and interesting. Don’t worry, Ryne and Lilith are strong enough to protect you.”
“Ah! Principal Farmyrth can also protect you, just… when you leave the Empire, you shouldn’t wander around, and someone needs to protect you.”
Lathel sighed: “A life of always having to face such danger makes me very tired, and it’s not the life I want.”
“Hehehe… Then you just need to become even stronger, so strong that no one can kill you. So strong that no one dares to think of harming you.” .𝒎
Listening to Lusha, Lathel just shook his head sadly: “You don’t understand. If that person wants to kill me, I’m afraid even if a god appears, he won’t be able to stop it.”
That’s right, Lathel felt that if the main character wants to kill him, even if a god appears, it will only prolong his life and cannot completely stop the main character.
Up until now, the main character’s enemies have not had a good ending. To be more precise… the male protagonist’s enemies must all die.
Lusha tilted her head, feeling even more confused, but she felt that Lathel wouldn’t explain, so she didn’t ask further.
She just smiled and said: “It’s up to you, but these newspapers cannot be revoked, do you understand?”
“I understand.”
SLAP!
Lusha stood up, suddenly waved her hand, and hit him on the shoulder: “Okay, don’t be so gloomy, life must have a little danger to be stimulating and interesting, right?”
Lathel: “…”
‘You need to be interesting, but I don’t, I just want a normal life.’
He really wanted to speak his mind, but he knew that even if he said it, people wouldn’t believe it.
But even though everyone believed him, he was still caught up in the countless troubles that the people around him brought.
“Wait!” Lathel suddenly remembered something and immediately asked: “Are you a journalist?”
“Hehehe… almost right.” Lusha smiled mysteriously: “You can guess more.” .
Lathel frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: “Paparazzi?”
“That’s almost right.” Lusha smiled and replied.
“Hm… sorry, I can’t figure it out.”
“Hahaha… it’s okay, one day you’ll know.” Lusha walked to the front door of the car compartment, turned around, and said: “We will see each other more often, bye bye ~”
After she finished speaking, she disappeared as if it were some kind of teleportation magic.
Lathel saw that Lusha had left and sighed and asked Akna: “Will newspapers like this be widely distributed?”
Akna shook her head: “Impossible. This type of magic requires a large amount of resources to create, it is like a hobby for nobles.”
“That is why it is difficult for ordinary adventurers and low-level nobles to access this type of magical newspaper.”
“What about regular newspapers?” Lathel continued asking: “If there is a magic newspaper, there will also be a normal newspaper for everyone, right?”
Akna continued to shake her head: “In reality, there are no ordinary newspapers that serve ordinary people, adventurers, or low-level nobles.”
“If those people have access to too much information, it will be difficult for the royal family to manage them.”
“Moreover, people with bad intentions can easily cause chaos and incite people.”
Lathel heard that and nodded. It seems… strict information management helps the Royal Family easily rule this empire.
But that’s good, at least… Alec can’t know this information for now. If not…
Lathel did not dare to think anymore.
‘I hope… everything will be okay.’
…
Elsewhere, Claire sat under a tree in the academy, her eyes wet as if thinking about something extremely painful.
“Ah! It looks like I just found a wet cat.”
A voice rang out, startling Claire. She raised her head, saw Farmyrth, and quickly stood up, bowed her head, and said: “Principal…”
“No need to worry too much…” Farmyrth smiled and asked: “Well… are you upset about something, Future Priest?”
Claire pursed her lips, looking extremely sad and desperate: “No, I… just… I…”
“Is it because of that young man?” Farmyrth asked.
Claire clenched her teeth, not daring to answer.
“Hahaha… It looks like I guessed right. Are you afraid that you are not worthy of him?”
Hearing that, Claire thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“Strange, in the future you will be a priest, fought over by both the church and the royal family. Why do you have that thought?”
Claire said softly: “Because… because he’s surrounded by wonderful people.”
