The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 144

unedited

It continued to rain and thunderstorms continued throughout class.

Even one of the classes was empty.

The teacher got into an accident where the wheel of the carriage fell into mud.

Thanks to this, we were able to do self-study to read.

While reading the picture book, I slowly fell into my imagination.

‘A day like today is just like a scene from a thriller movie I saw in my previous life.’

I didn’t even know if it was because of the thunder coming from the window.

It was like knocking hard on the door.

‘Thunder sounds like this, but what if it was really someone knocking on the kindergarten door? Maybe an uninvited guest.’

I rested my chin with one hand, idly dreaming.

‘What if that’s the bad guy. Just like the bad guys we met at the market last time. Surely…… There are guards from the Imperial Palace to protect us here, so it will be fine.’

However, if.

What if an intruder suddenly runs into this classroom after breaking through the escort of the elite knights? If so, how will I act?

‘There is no place to hide in this place……Maybe it would be better near the bookshelf.’

If it was the school I attended in my previous life, I would have quickly crawled under a school table.

“…… Of course, that would never happen.”

I silently muttered those words involuntarily.

But it was then.

Tuk-

Tuk?

Suddenly there was a sound as if something was breaking.

At the same time, my eyes darkened.

‘What, what? The lights are off!’

I was perplexed.

It seemed to be the same with the other children in the classroom as well.

“What?”

“…… what?”

It was strange.

Of course, it was only in the world I lived in before, when lightning strikes, there were a number of occasions when an electrical device had a problem and a power outage occurred.

However, in this world, the concept of ‘blackout’ was impossible in the first place.

This is because most of the things similar to modern objects, such as lights, are operated by magic.

‘How…….’

It was when I was blinking my eyes with doubts.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the hallway.

Then someone shouted from outside.

“It’s, it’s an assassin! An intruder on the second floor!”

“Go, protect Their Highnesses, Ladies and Lord!”

“The rest, go up to the second floor first and fight!”

…… What? Assassin? No matter how much I just imagined an intruder appearing, this is a bit too much!

“Assassin…… !”

“What, what should we do? Should we hide?”

“What, is this real?”

All of a sudden, the children all got up from their seats.

This is probably the first time this has happened to everyone.

Me too.

“…… Shouldn’t we be hiding first?”

Alice asked in a trembling voice.

I also agreed.

We don’t know how many assassins there are, but if they can’t solve it with just the imperial knights and a single wizard, our safety will be in danger.

But the problem was where the six of us could safely hide.

‘Oh, maybe it’ll be okay there?’

Then, a place suddenly came to my mind.

A secret place right in the room with a locker.

“Let’s all go to the locker room! There is a secret place I know.”

“What, is that really true?”

Cedric seemed to have noticed something I said, and the other children were happy.

But I was worried again.

What if we open the door and there is an assassin already in the hallway?

Because of that, I hesitated, unable to open the door immediately after speaking.

Fortunately, Jake noticed that day and reassured me.

“I’ll prepare to attack with magic right away at any time.”

“Yes, thank you, Jake.”

We opened the door and cautiously walked out into the hallway.

The lights were off and there were no windows, so it was darker than the classroom.

In the distance, at the end of the hallway, on the stairs leading to the second floor, the sound of swords clashing and screaming could be heard alternately.

Our whole body trembled at the fear we felt for the first time.

Carefully crawling along the wall, we moved to the locker room as quickly as possible for fear that the assassins might come all the way through the knights’ defenses.

Finally the door opened.

Fortunately, there appeared to be no signs of anyone other than the locker.

I quickly manipulated the brick next to the locker to open the secret passageway.

Slowly, a dusty entrance that I didn’t know existed was revealed.

I pushed the children inside one by one and decided to go in last.

But right then.

“Catch it! There’s someone out there!”

Along with the loud shouts of the knight commander, there was a sound as if something was heading this way.

The assassin seemed to be running as quietly as possible, but I could still feel it with my intuition.

“We have to close the door!”

Finally, I went into the room with Jake and closed the door.

Slowly, the door closed.

At the same time, there was the sound of the locker room door slamming open.

“Is it hiding here? Do you see any traces of what was just there?”

The gloomy voice of a completely unknown stranger was heard.
