Episode 69 – Trauma
Alberto disappeared from the sight of the three.
The three of them were able to breathe a sigh of relief when Alberto was completely out of sight.
Worried about Albinus, Darius tried to ask him if he was okay, but after seeing his condition, he realized that asking himself was a stupid thing to say.
“If you ask if you’re okay, you’ll be treated like an idiot, but doesn’t it hurt?”
“Oh, what… It doesn’t hurt more than I thought. There is no blood flowing.”
Albinus shook his right shoulder, where his right arm had been cut off, at Darius’ question.
“Darius Sonbaim. The cross section is so neat, do you know what it was cut with?”
“Well… ….”
At Horus’ question, Darius held Albinus’ severed arm and carefully observed the cross section.
He was a scion of a famous culinary family, and various skills were required of him.
Among them, there were cases where you had to trim the ingredients yourself.
And the most impressive thing was catching live animals and slaughtering them yourself.
In the process of learning to slaughter, you will learn many things, such as the cut of meat and how to bone it.
The cut of Albinus’ arm that Darius was looking at was a perfect cut that could not be made with any tool.
Unless it is frozen and cut, meat is muscle after all, so the cross section becomes bumpy.
However, the cuts made by Alberto’s attack were as clean as frozen meat.
No matter how sharp the knife was to cut the meat, it was impossible to create such a clean cut.
“I’ve worked with many animals and tried several knives in the process of butchering them, but I couldn’t get them to cut this cleanly.”
“Is that enough?”
“I can’t describe it with words like that. Even a master butcher cannot make such a clean cut.”
Based on his experience, Darius confirmed that this cut was never made with a good knife.
“Anyway, I’m glad. At least, Albinus Sunbaim almost lost his life.”
“That’s right… ….”
Albinus nodded his head at Horus’ words.
He confidently quarreled with Alberto and almost cost him his life.
If a commoner kills a noble, he will be put to death without question.
However, when a noble kills a commoner, it usually ends in a fine.
And, although he is said to have become exceptionally strong among commoners, Alberto is a man who has been proven to be an intermediate level sword expert.
A commoner who barely reached the lower level of Aura Expert in his second year.
And a noble who proved himself to be an intermediate level sword expert shortly after entering school.
If the Royal Academy were to have a problem with these two, who else would they think of?
I know even if you don’t tell me.
Right away, he was going to take care of Alberto.
The gap between lower and intermediate Aura Experts was not something that could be easily bridged, as Alberto showed in his duel with Anna.
In the end, no matter what he thought, he was the one who was at a disadvantage.
This fact suddenly popped up in Albinus’ eyes, and the feeling of fear began to form.
It was the moment when the fear of Alberto was engraved in his heart full of ambition and ambition.
–
If someone told me to express my feelings right now in one sentence, I could have expressed it like this.
‘It’s frustrating, annoying, and angry.’
It wasn’t that I hadn’t had anyone argue with me since I entered the Royal Academy.
As with Demiron of the Vedoran family and Rodren of the Arcus family, most of the contestants were nobles.
I thought it was natural for the nobles to quarrel with me, and I thought it was something I had to endure.
The Royal Academy, simply put, was a world that was reduced to a small size.
Nobles and commoners exist, and the position within the Royal Academy is determined according to the title of parents and one’s abilities.
For that reason, it was unimaginable for a commoner to speak ill of a noble.
If other aristocrats find out that I was spoken to by a commoner, the prestige of my family will fall to the ground.
From noble mtl dot com.
Once the fact that you are an aristocrat ignored by commoners is created, it is never easy to reverse that perception.
So I purposely went out strong.
I used a short horse that I didn’t normally use, and even erased the smile that I habitually wore around my mouth.
When a commoner tries to ascend to the rank of aristocrat, he must be thoroughly trampled on.
I can listen to the level of grumbling.
Bite and chew among themselves to relieve their anger?
Anything can be tolerated.
It’s strange.
If other commoners had done that to me, I would have just laughed it off, but why did I react so sharply to that Albinus?
“It’s the head… ….”
I don’t know. My head hurts so much today.
Is he blackmailing me?
If so, it should have ended with him destroying the recording magic crystal, the means by which he tried to blackmail me.
But, unlike usual, I overreacted.
In the world, what is this anxiety nestled in my heart?
“Bocchan?”
When I returned to my room, Nina greeted me.
“What happened… Are you there?”
Perhaps because she was worried about me, she cautiously approached me and touched my face.
“I don’t know. Today, depending… It’s too hard.”
I don’t know.
It’s too hard.
I don’t know how to explain my feelings, this feeling, this situation.
At that time, I could feel the softness on her face.
In her all-embracing, warm embrace, all my worries seemed to disappear, like sweet cheesecake melting in her mouth.
“What are you worried about? The face… It’s too hard…….”
Nina’s voice that worries about me.
Her sweet body odor.
Her warm embrace.
With the addition of three things, my body loses strength without even realizing it.
And I lost my mind.
–
Boss seemed to be having a hard time, so I just hugged her for a while…….
You lost your mind as if you were about to collapse.
“Do, boy?”
I shook the boy to wake him up, but the boy who lost his mind didn’t wake up at all.
“Oh, vials!”
At that time, I remembered the various medicines that Professor Julia had given me.
Professor Julia said that she would have time to use it someday, so she packed various medicines.
I remembered saving the pills and putting them on the desk in my room.
I put the boy on the bed with my arms trained for carrying laundry and luggage, and I ran to the room and brought the medicine that was on the desk.
This medicine in my hand is said to be good for waking up people who have fainted.
I heard from Professor Julia that it was made by adding a small amount of mana potion and finely chopped star cluster fruit to water boiled with the roots of the blue evening primrose.
I don’t know if that’s why, but the medicine was very thick.
According to what Professor Julia said, ‘With this medicine, one day I will be able to create a good mood’.
And I added that this medicine is very thick because of the fruit of the star cluster, so someone must put it in his mouth to dilute it and then pour it into the mouth of someone who has lost consciousness.
By the way, can’t a person who has lost his mind take medicine himself?
Just like the boy lying on the bed.
After seeing that, I realized the meaning of Professor Julia’s words.
There is only one way to give medicine to someone who has lost his mind.
In other words, one person puts medicine in the mouth and pours it into the mouth of a person who has lost consciousness.
In the process, mouth to mouth will come into contact.
It’s been a while since we became lovers, but it’s still a bit embarrassing to kiss each other.
However, you don’t know when the lost master might wake up, so he needs to be given medicine right away.
I open the vial, scoop out the medicine with a spoon and put it in my mouth.
I thought the taste of the medicine would be bitter, but surprisingly it tasted sweet and refreshing.
I almost swallowed the medicine without realizing it, but I managed not to swallow it and mixed the medicine well in my mouth.
The consistency of the medicine has turned into a thin consistency, like pancake batter, rather than thick jam.
And then, I put my mouth on the boy’s mouth, opened it with my tongue, and poured the medicine into his mouth.
Then, the boy, who must have lost his mind, began to swallow the medicine.
Then, the young master opened his eyes shortly after.
Thank you. The medicine seems to have worked well.
That’s how I took my mouth off the boy’s mouth and stepped back.
“… ….”
“… ….”
But what is this awkward current?
In the end, I couldn’t say anything until the young master brought his words out first.
Bocchan’s lips…… It was really soft.
