– Kaang!
A large lioness’s tusk flies out and gets stuck in the blade of the dagger held in reverse. I wobble and try to compete with my strength, but of course I am inferior.
It was obvious that she would be pushed away if she continued like this, so she changed her center of gravity and swept away the lioness’s body.
-Paaah!
The body of the lioness that hit the ground is made of water.
When it roared and lunged at me with its direction changed, I quickly ducked down. The lion’s paw passes by where my upper body was just moments ago.
Then, for a moment, a gap appears where the lion’s center is tilted. I pushed off the ground with my two strong legs and gave strength to my body. When I push the lion’s side with my shoulder, it is pushed away with a screeching sound.
However, there is no way that a lioness of that size could be subdued by attacking her with her body. The direction the lioness was heading after landing on the ground again was… no other place, but the ocean where the waves were crashing.
Among the rocky areas where you have to climb down a cliff, the terrain is relatively flat. Since it is a place where waves crash, the entire surrounding area is virtually the same as the sea.
So the lioness jumped into the water. Originally, the large body should have fallen into the deep sea with a splashing sound, but in reality, there was no splashing or splashing sound and the body did not fall into the sea.
This rocky area was always filled with water due to periodic waves.
The shape of a lioness that magically disappears into the sea soon pops out from a puddle on the other side.
Once again, it attacked my back with a loud roar that overwhelmed the surroundings, but I somehow managed to block its claws by bending the hand holding the dagger.
The lion throws its body backwards again and continues to disappear into the water.
The pressure of not knowing which direction it might come from continues to stimulate my nervousness.
– Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!
After so many attacks and defenses, my ability to sense spirits began to strain.
[ Leave it at this, Master Ed. ]
A low female voice. It was Lacia’s voice.
I can’t even remember how much money I exchanged with Lacia. My whole body was covered in sweat, so I took off my jacket and threw it away. Since the waves would hit at any opportunity anyway, it was better to take off my top.
I sat down on the nearby rock, catching my rushing breath.
[ indeed! You showed incredible quickness and coping skills! I was impressed with this fire candle mug! ]
Mug, flapping his wings and making a fuss as always, was burning next to the rock.
Lacia returned to the surrounding area with a splash of water and lay down with her head on her feet.
[For a wizard, it certainly seems like your melee response skills have improved. It looks like you’ve been training for quite some time. ]
I wiped away the sweat that had accumulated and straightened myself out.
Lieutenant Water Spirit Lacia was a pretty good sparring partner.
Unlike Mug, which is too small to allow for sparring, or Merilda, which is too big and strong to compete with, it is just the right size.
Of course, if you decide to engage in a bloody battle, you won’t be able to beat the middle-ranking spirit in close combat, but it is possible for them to engage in a moderate amount of physical exertion with each other. Rather, it feels a bit intense, so it feels like more training.
Originally, the intensity of the training should be at a level that is slightly burdensome to handle.
[If you train some intermediate magic and make your training more systematic in terms of close combat… I think it would be okay to spar with Merilda. Unlike me, it will be a great help in many ways. ]
“… How can you spar with a wolf the size of a house? One blind kick can send you straight to the nether.”
[Hehe, it’s okay. Master Ed. A high-ranking spirit with outstanding abilities, such as Merilda, can freely change its form. It is not that difficult to change into a form optimized for sparring with Master Ed. ]
Once my breathing became even and my sweat dried, I stood up from the rock again. After bending my arms a few times, I got down on the floor and started doing push-ups.
In any case, you cannot properly take magic classes during the seclusion period. Since there is so much time left, there is a need to at least train your body.
My body moves closer and further to the floor several times with the sound of out of breath.
“Hu -wook … But if you want to be with him, you need to be stronger.
[That’s right. It seems that Merylda often travels not only to the North Forest but also to the entire Aken Island. In fact, he is like an elder of the North Forest, and he sometimes appears in the teaching or living quarters… Sometimes, it is very difficult to run errands. ]
“What are you going there for?”
[Aren’t you really interested in human civilization? There are many cases where people show curiosity about books written by humans or various aspects of food culture and lifestyle. You go out to directly observe things, borrow books as a guest at the library, or go out to see scenery, etc. ]
Well, I guess that’s why I was able to become friends with Yenika so quickly.
While thinking that, I continued to strain my trembling arms and core muscles.
Then, I lost all my strength and fell down, looking at my face reflected in the puddle of water around me.
[ Name : Ed Rosstaylor ]
Gender : Male Age : 18 Grade : 3 Race : Human Achievements : Precise Survivalist (1 year) / High-ranking Spirit Summoner Stamina 14, Intelligence 13, Dexterity 15, Will 12, Luck 11, Combat Ability Details 〉〉 Magical ability details〉〉 Life skills details〉〉 Alchemy ability details〉〉 I should say that it makes me feel happy to look at it, as if it were a monumental tower built by myself. It has risen to the upper-middle level of the player specifications.
When I think about my stats when I started, raising them to this level in just over a year was a truly incredible level of progress. I had some idea of the player’s growth curve in my head, so I was in a somewhat advantageous position.
The closer each stat value is to 20, the slower the development becomes, so in many cases, you have to clear hidden quests in your late teens to change your abilities. Taking that into account… I’m slowly getting closer to the upper limit of the specs that I, as a non-main character, can have.
In order to break through that line, a clear trigger was needed.
Of course… right now, it was more important to achieve more progress in the field of magic than that. It was time to finally finish that bastard’s long-cherished project, learning lieutenant magic.
‘Okay… I can’t just be satisfied and end it here…’
I repeated, and quickly raised my upper body.
“oh.”
There was a girl with a sinister smile like a fox sitting on the rock where I had been sitting just a moment ago.
I don’t know when I came here, but… the hair tied down on one side and the deep robe are the same as always.
“I was having a good time with my eyesight.”
Only then did the direction in which Lortel looked at me become clear.
Since I had completely taken off my top, I was half naked.
*
“It’s important to rest when you need to rest. There’s no cure for addiction to training.”
Lortel was wiping off the sweat with a dry towel while grinning.
Anyway, Lortel was just as new to the world as Merilda, so it wasn’t strange if he appeared anywhere and at any time.
“Still, coming all the way to a cliff like this and secluding yourself… must be very frustrating, senior.”
“Once I got used to it, I was able to get by. In fact, I felt like I was more relaxed than in the forest.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Basic things like food, clothing, and shelter are all handled with help.”
“Senior Yenika?”
“Mostly yes.”
“Hmm~.”
Lortel stretched out his words and smiled meaningfully, then gathered some magical energy and looked around.
“I guess you were training with the spirits?”
“…Don’t you have almost no spirit sensitivity?”
“Well, that’s right. Still, I saw Senior Ed from afar.”
Then he grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear.
“Then all the spirits will be watching.”
A sinister smile. It’s as if he’s enjoying this situation itself.
I lowered my gaze and looked at Mug and Lacia.
Lacia, who always has a polite demeanor, was shaking her head, and Mug was holding her own. It was screaming and burning. No matter what he does, he always makes a fuss, so I’m not surprised anymore.
Lortel lifted my arm and spoke in a calm voice.
“As I said, I’m planning to visit Princess Fenia today. I’d like to talk about Tanya and other things related to the election.”
“Election? You mean the student council president election?”
“Yes. Looking at it, I can think of a number that would be worth a few gold coins.”
As I stared at him with distrustful eyes, Lortel smiled innocently and leaned his head on my shoulder.
She is a girl who does not miss any opportunity to make money, even in the smallest of niches, so even in this chaotic world, there seems to be a gold mine that only she can see.
“Besides, there are other things I want to tell my senior and discuss with him before I go to the royal residence.”
“I can roughly guess what it is.”
“First of all, it’s easy to release the two knights, Kadec and Nox, that you mentioned. Anyway, if you leave Aken Island, you’ll never come back, so you can just use someone to sneak them out.”
It won’t be easy to let him escape secretly, but Lortel’s dark smile shows a certain kind of confidence.
“There will never be another election campaign period as chaotic as the current one. The investigation into senior Ed’s murder is still going on, and Ofilis Hall is not doing well, but you still have to keep up with your academic schedule, right?”
“yes.”
“The more chaotic the situation is, the more gaps there are. In the end, a group of bachelors is a small society made up of people, right? Negotiation, cajoling, betrayal, bribery, and kidnapping. The methods are endless.”
“…”
“Of course, I won’t use a method that will make Senior Ed uncomfortable~ But at least it’s not free? We’ll have to wait and see how to set the exact price, but assuming you get the down payment first~”
Then he turned his head, which was leaning on his shoulder, and placed his chin on it… and spoke with a full smile on his face.
“Would you like to give me a hug?”
The reason why my breath suddenly stops is because I am also a man.
After staring at each other blankly for a moment, I thought it might be okay, so I boldly spread my arms… Lortel pushes his tiny body into it.
However, the one who pushed into my chest with a gasping sound… was Lortel himself.
“Oh no, wait a moment, senior.”
“What are you doing…?”
“Originally, with something like this… offense and defense are separate things. I’m a bit confused, too.”
Whenever he got his own way, this time he found himself blushing.
“It feels so different from when I imagined it three or four times before I came.”
“…”
“No, in the first place, why are you taking off your top and making blood rush to my head…”
“…If you do that, what will become of me…”
In the first place, it was difficult to get used to Lortel’s reaction. it’s tough.
When Jenika spends time together, she feels at ease, as if she is back at home. First of all, that lively girl has a unique power to make people around her feel comfortable.
However, Lortel hides her sinister intentions at all times and then puts on a girlish expression, which often confuses those who deal with her. I don’t know which beat to respond to.
“Please keep in mind that this side is also walking its own tightrope. It’s not polite to let your guard down and then sneak in.”
“Who on earth was hooked…? I’m just doing whatever you want right now.”
“That’s true, but…”
Lortel lowered his gaze for a moment and then slowly crawled back into my arms.
I leaned my small body into my arms… and then, as if the tension was at least relieved, I gave up the weight of my body.
A demon of gold that swept through the capital as the head of the Elte Company. She was a girl with such influence that it could be said that the weight of her name alone shook the earth with each step she took.
In fact, the body is as light as a feather, so even if I lie down and completely bury myself in the chest, my body doesn’t even move.
If you look at all people and look at them, this is usually the case.
Even people who seem so dignified and serious that you wonder if they are of the same race, in the end, when you put everything down and look at them, they are just the same human beings. The time when you realize that fact the most is when you come face to face with the person in person.
“Actually, I came because I wanted to hear the answer in advance.”
Only after he was in my arms did he feel like getting to the point, so he erased his sinister smile and asked me directly without even raising his eyebrows like a fox.
“Do you remember the promise you made last time?”
“…”
“I’m asking you to listen to my side at least once.”
I remember talking while looking up at the low moon by the river in the frozen northern forest during a snowy winter.
“I think I will have a lot of enemies. Even if I turn the entire school into my enemy… I hope that at least you will remain as my ally.”
“You’re up to something.”
Lortel lifts his head from his embrace, makes eye contact with me, and smiles again.
“I just don’t want to be enemies with you.”
And then he speaks.
“I’m going to sell my position as student council president.”
Since ancient times, merchants were people who knew how to sell anything that made money.
*
“It is said that the basic restoration of Ofilis Hall has been completed. The extent of the damage is not that large. It is said that most of it is carried out in the line of simple repair work, even if it is called repair work. Facility operation has already normalized.”
“Is that so? Then you can continue to use Ofilis Hall without any problems.”
“If there is nothing wrong with the room, you can do as you please.”
Kylie Ekne, a girl with flowing chestnut hair and neatly dressed in a school uniform, said hello to the academic ushers and left the Trix building.
The spring sky is as high as the fall sky. The sun’s rays, cast across the wide, clear sky, stimulate your eyes every once in a while.
These are the eyes of a young saint who still finds everything in the world fascinating. Even the light of this sky looking up alone from outside… is on a different level from looking up through the tightly closed windows of Seonghwangdo.
I made quite a few friends, people I respected, and professors I could trust and follow.
When I return to my dorm after finishing my day’s work, I don’t have to preside over every prayer service as a saint, and no one comes to me to confess whenever I can. I wonder if this is the taste of freedom.
Kylie sat on a nearby wooden bench and quietly enjoyed the cool spring breeze for a moment.
‘I have to live every day with value…! ‘I don’t know when a time like this will come again in my life…!’
Kylie clenched her fists and strengthened her body… After a while, she sighed and relaxed her body again.
Even if I try to cheer myself up, the atmosphere at the university has been gloomy lately.
I remember the image of a third-year senior trembling and looking up from a winter cabin during a blizzard.
Freedom is light yet heavy. You should not expect a magical, romantic journey that you only see in adventure fairy tales.
Bloody chunks of meat and animal skins, brown hunting tools, and cold seeping log floors. The man who was sitting on a chair in the gap and looking down at the girl in the dark… clearly remained in Kylie’s memory.
It was quite a shock to the girl to see that face in the bachelor’s newsletter announcing the news of his death… Tanya, the first friend she made when she came to the bachelor’s degree, was pointed out as a suspect and went missing… I couldn’t even imagine it. I couldn’t do it.
Since the world is so turbulent, it is very different from the world seen from Seonghwangdo, which was always calm and quiet.
I felt so gloomy that I felt intimidated for a moment, but…
“But… I can’t just remain depressed…!”
Kylie once again held her strength in both hands and composed herself.
It was a shame, but there was nothing Kylie could do about it.
Even just keeping up with my studies is already difficult. In addition, you need to meet as many people as possible, make as many friends, and gain a variety of experiences to live a brilliant bachelor’s life.
Kylie thought that and stood up. For now, I was thinking of going back to the dormitory, but…
“~~~ ♪ ♬ ♪”
A girl with a strange, somewhat mysterious vibe passed by, humming as she passed in front of the bench where Kylie was sitting.
The first thing that occurred to me was that the gait looked strange. It was a light and gentle step, as if riding the flowing wind. At first glance, it appears to be semi-weightless.
‘Yes, she’s a pretty person…’
Her pure white hair was tied back like a horse’s tail. Her hair sways gently as she walks briskly.
However, the outfit is strange.
Anyone can see that she is a lively girl of her age who looks like a student.
However, the sight of her wearing only a pure white dress that exposes her shoulders with thin straps… is clearly not a student.
However, they don’t look like faculty members, and they don’t look like they’re doing much work as if they were outsiders.
Contrary to her bold appearance, the girl is holding a lot of books in one arm. The thickness and material of each book is different, and the content is completely different. Art History Magic Great People Exhibition Economics Philosophy… She looks lively, but is she actually quite knowledgeable?
Kylie began to get curious. Above all, one of her biggest goals is to make as many friends as possible.
Since today’s class schedule was finished anyway, Kylie nodded once and decided to talk to her.
However, the white-haired girl walks so fast…it is not easy to keep up with her.
Although she was humming lightly and not even out of breath, it was a speed that Kylie’s weak body could not easily keep up with.
Feeling even more curious, Kylie tried to somehow follow the girl… but before she knew it, she had reached the entrance to the North Forest.
It was then that I felt something strange.
*
“Oh oh…!”
Lucy, who was lying on the bed and fiddling with the pillow, was inwardly impressed.
If you shape the pillow nicely and stand it up properly… you can even stand up this soft pillow vertically…!
I had no idea…! It is the great discovery of the century…!
“…”
Feeling a sudden sense of desperation, Lucy buried herself in bed again.
Lucy, who rarely eats three meals a day… I couldn’t tell how many days had passed by now. Still, I endured quite a long period of time, so I guess five days had passed.
“You know… how many days are left…?”
Maids rotate at 4-hour intervals and are closely monitored 24 hours a day.
The maid currently on duty, who was watching with a grin, answered kindly.
“You have 646 hours left.”
Time remaining… D-27…!
“Oh, that’s right. I looked into it and found out that the probation disciplinary plan was passed yesterday. It seems that it wasn’t passed right away on the same day and was delayed a bit. That’s always the case with administrative processing. So… I’m sorry, but we have to use yesterday as a starting point and count down the days. I think that.”
“…………”
D?29…!!
