I continued speaking without paying him any mind.
“But this time, we have to join forces.”
“Why would I with the likes of you……”
“Otherwise.”
I cut off Samuel, who was about to refuse.
“Everyone here will die.”
“What?”
“Humans are not such easy opponents that we can defeat without joining forces. Surely you can’t be unaware of that.”
“…….”
Samuel shut his mouth, unable to answer my pressing question.
Of course, he knows.
He must know better than anyone how strong humans are.
Because his family was destroyed by humans.
“Damn, bastard.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
I smiled in response to Samuel, who was cursing me.
Then Samuel hit the back of my hand.
“……This is the only time.”
“I’m glad you’ve come to your senses.”
He was just acting tough since he was going to accept anyway.
When I smiled, Samuel looked even more upset and turned his head away.
I had achieved my goal.
I could let that much slide.
Now that I had Samuel’s cooperation, all I had to do was find the destination…….
‘This is definitely the place.’
It was certain that the place we were in was near the enemy’s territory.
That was when I looked around.
“President!”
A student’s urgent voice.
He looked like he had found something.
I approached him in one stride.
“Did you find something?”
“O, over there!”
I followed the direction the student was pointing.
Then I found a ‘door’ floating among the trees.
That was the entrance to the artificial secret relm.
Inside was the place where the students of the Imperial Academy had their outdoor classes.
“Good work.”
I lightly praised the student who had found the door, certain that it was the right destination.
It was the exact location on the map, and it looked exactly as I had described it.
The students and I headed towards the door.
And I explained.
“This door is connected to a secret realm created by humans. We’re going to enter this secret realm now.”
“Isn’t it dangerous if it’s a secret realm?”
Luna asked, sounding worried.
Luna asked as if she was worried.
I shook my head.
“It won’t be as dangerous as you think. I’ll pay special attention in case of an emergency, so you don’t have to worry.”
“If that’s the case……”
When I emphasized my words, Luna stepped back, convinced.
In reality, I knew all the traps inside the secret realm.
‘Since I designed the secret realm myself, it would be strange if I didn’t know.’
The difficulty of this secret realm was intermediate to advanced.
It was the same difficulty as the secret realm that I had conquered with Rene.
Even then, the two of us had conquered it without difficulty.
‘Although we did use the cheap trick of position exchange.’
Even considering that, it was definitely not a difficult secret realm.
Of course, it could be quite threatening to ordinary students.
But with me and Samuel, it would be more difficult to get hurt.
Furthermore, since I was well-acquainted with all the traps and monsters inside the secret realm, all I had to do was enter.
……Or so it was.
Some student passed me by and grabbed the door handle.
However.
“What the heck? Why won’t it open?”
Clank-. Clank-.
No matter how much he pulled on the door handle, the door wouldn’t open.
Moreover.
“Aaaagh!”
The student who had been pulling on the door screamed and rolled on the floor.
The device built into the door had been activated.
Watching the student writhing on the floor, I clicked my tongue inwardly in pity.
‘He got electrocuted.’
That door was designed so that only the Imperial Academy instructors could open it.
To try to pull it open without taking any precautions.
It was his own fault that he ended up like that.
One, even if it was me, there wasn’t a particularly good solution.
The person who could solve this predicament was,
“……Why are you looking at me?”
“Mr. Samuel, you’ll have to step in.”
“Tch.”
When I spoke while staring at him fixedly, Samuel clicked his tongue and walked up to the door.
Then he put his palm on the door and began to pour in mana.
He was trying to force open the entrance to the secret realm.
“What kind of bastard can’t even do something like this and is the class president……”
Samuel grumbled, but he obediently listened to my request.
Now, it seemed like I was getting to know his personality a little bit.
It was the moment when I was lost in a strange emotion, staring at Samuel’s back.
"Step back."
Samuel's solemn warning.
At this, I and the students took a step back.
Clank-.
At the same time as the sound of a lock being released rang out.
Thud-.
The door began to open.
