Isaac, what should I do!? Your sister will save you, Isaac!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve, overwhelmed by worry for Isaac, screamed as if her throat would burst and was nearly struck down by the rain of swords, before being forcibly pulled to a shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Isaac broke through the Iron Sanctuary and slayed the giant demon, everyone in Aldreque knew the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archwizard, Ice Sovereign… She barely accepted the fact that her brother had become such a fearsome figure with these titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a title that stood in stark contrast to the frail Isaac, who had sobbed after being bullied by the neighborhood kids as a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the strength Isaac had shown could not be denied…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell… How does anyone use world-ending magic three times in a row? And what was that iron gate that appeared in the sky, and the terrifying magic beast that came out of it…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve looked at the unbelievable scene her brother had created, her face turning pale with awe, and she almost fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even the title of Archwizard, the highest among humanity, wasn’t enough for Isaac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity needed to form a title beyond that. A title that symbolized Isaac alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isaac…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she didn’t know how to look at her brother anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking of that lovely face filled her with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they actually met, she felt like she might accidentally start speaking to him in honorifics without even realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Eve ached to see Isaac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to see him. I want to comfort him and ask him if he’s scared… I want to hug him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Eve saw the ice barrier that appeared in Aldreque and pinpointed Isaac’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there still an enemy he had to fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve rushed over and anxiously waited in front of the ice barrier for Isaac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the ice barrier was released, Isaac went to the opposite side of where Eve was, and in the end, the two never met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But surely, we can meet now, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the incident was over, she thought she would finally be able to see her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve thought so and finally allowed herself to smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She headed to the arena of the Academy Clash. The imperial forces were guarding the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve asked the imperial soldiers where Isaac had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ice Sovereign is currently assisting with the investigation. It seems it will be difficult to meet him today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, student?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do we keep missing each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve choked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Academy Clash was completely canceled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the fairy attack, not only had the stage collapsed, but the state of Aldreque itself was in shambles. It was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I secretly met with the Düpfendorf army and was briefed on everything that had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also told me that when I broke through and emerged from the Iron Sanctuary, Mephisto took his own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had taken over a human body after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mephisto usually made contracts by targeting the evil nature of humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice was an exception. She had been blackmailed and forced into a contract because she was needed for a plan involving the Evil God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the original owner of the body Mephisto had taken over probably wasn’t a good person, so I didn’t feel much sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Knights summoned me and the other students to investigate the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave a detailed statement about what had happened inside the Iron Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Lord Ice Sovereign. Pardon me, but did you foresee this incident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Knights interrogated me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they were assuming that because I had participated in the Academy Clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I foresaw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just didn’t expect things to escalate so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried that the situation would get too complicated, I told them I hadn’t known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lied to them by saying even I couldn’t foresee a future involving fairies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairies were the apex of living creatures in this world and were unfathomable beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I added that it seemed they could interfere with my ability to foresee the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a completely reckless answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was where the convenience of being called an Archwizard or Ice Sovereign came into play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— I see…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone just accepted it without further question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, I’ve been working hard to protect people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My abilities and character were now fully recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I said something completely absurd, the absolute reasoning of “because he’s the Ice Sovereign” would automatically sway others in my favor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recalled a certain phrase someone said back when I was living on Earth. First, get famous. Then, even if all one did was shit and lie around, people would praise them for it. I was realizing that a lot these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I skimmed through the rest of my statements, excluding the part about Vuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After concluding my statements, I told the Imperial Knights that I wanted to see White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only intended to ask for the location, but the Imperial Knights enthusiastically escorted me to where White was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the emperor involved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Emperor Carlos was supporting my relationship with White in a completely misguided way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived at White’s hospital room, and there were quite a few escort soldiers stationed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve arrived, Lord Ice Sovereign!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is White?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She has exhausted her energy and is currently in a deep sleep! There’s nothing wrong with her condition!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The escort soldier tensed up when he saw me, then answered with sharp precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he thought even making eye contact with me would be disrespectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin isn’t here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had heard reports from the Düpfendorf commanders and knew the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin must be receiving treatment as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is Merlin’s condition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She is currently undergoing treatment, but fortunately, she seems to be fine. She’s a naturally resilient person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best to let both of them rest for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll come check on them later. Thank you for letting me know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gasp! No, no! It’s nothing! Please don’t thank me for something like that! I only told you what you were supposed to know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The escort soldier was so startled that he bent his upper body past 90 degrees, his chest and thighs mere inches away from touching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was surprised…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I remembered speaking formally to Keridna. She felt a huge burden back then too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should be more careful with my words as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, no… yes. Take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please leave safely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the Imperial Knights’ stiff salute, as they were sweating profusely, I left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial Escort soldiers quickly joined me, standing by my side as if they had been waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt burdensome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***After spending the night in Aldreque, morning came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five academies were all preparing to leave Aldreque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldreque had been noticeably restored overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial family and the empire’s elites had combined their forces to use magic in the active restoration efforts, so it was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Sovereign!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a large man came rushing toward me urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red hair. It was Hans McGregor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you and attacked you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hans bowed with such force, as if he were about to cling to the ground, and apologized with great intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was arrogant. I acted out of ignorance and was insolent! Please forgive me! If you want me to lick your feet, I’ll do so with sincerity…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that’s okay… Just imagining you licking my feet gives me the creeps…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I understood how he felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was like a form of shock therapy, it probably turned into a valuable life experience for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it was too much. I gave a quick answer, turned my back, and left the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced back. Hans still had his head buried in the ground, drawing the gaze of all the surrounding students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m really!! Soooooorry!!” Hans cried out in anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I seriously considered running over and punching him in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Isaac!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Kaya flew toward me, carried by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her half-up light green hair fluttered. She looked quite pretty, dressed up in her outing clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you pack everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! L-let’s go! I’ll risk my life to serve you with all my heart!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to risk your life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya tried to display a service spirit imbued with a strong sense of duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re going to ride Hilde anyway. Long-distance travel with wind magic is too exhausting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re only realizing that now? Wasn’t it obvious that we were going to ride Hilde?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back to Märchen Academy from Oldrek, I got prior permission from Professor Fernando to return separately, as Kaya and I had a stop to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Do as you wish. Normally, it wouldn’t be allowed, but if there’s somewhere you need to go immediately, there won’t be anyone who will object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In effect, there was nothing in this world that could control me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, most people looked at me favorably, so I had essentially become the freest person in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I summoned the Frost Dragon, Hilde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the massive white dragon appeared in the sky, people gazed at its majestic form in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya and I soared with the wind and climbed onto Hilde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya, sitting behind me, kept exclaiming in wonder as she stroked Hilde’s white scales, fascinated by the ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s head to the Astrea Duchy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Understood. Lead the way.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, Sir Isaac…! How could someone like me dare touch your noble, kingly body…?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop fussing and hold on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hyaa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grabbed Kaya’s hand and pulled her close, and she clung tightly to my back as if glued there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frost Dragon, Hilde, flapped her white jade wings and began flying toward Astrea Duchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe… I liiike it…~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya clung to me, clearly enjoying herself, drunk with happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The view is nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite refreshing to feel the fresh wind and admire the scenery from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Isaac, by the way, why are we heading to our duchy? It’s not for, um, a formal engagement meeting, is it…?” Kaya quickly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Kaya was imagining me visiting the Astrea Ducal Family to meet Gerald Astrea for a formal engagement meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that would be fun. I was now posing as the pinnacle of human strength, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please give me your daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I-I will…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that couldn’t be seen as entirely fiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Astrea Ducal Family wasn’t our destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re not going to your house. We’re heading to the Covenant of Life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to meet Sylphia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya’s eyes opened wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I intended to receive an eight-star familiar contract circle from Sylphia, the Emerald Fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to reinforce my power by making a contract with the Stone Turtle – Gormos.\u003C\u002Fp>",1871,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.926Z",1,"novelbin.me","8709e94cfa633d8075763563bd164614592eb8c796525cc3f2654a948eba694a","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-308","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-306",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
