45. You betrayed Andy
Lucia was still stopping by the private bar.
She had nothing to say to them, but the information they shared with each other was very valuable.
As usual, while she was quietly drinking a drink in a corner of the bar, someone approached Lucia.
“Russell.”
It was Edgar Lemnos.
When Lemnos appeared with a very serious expression on his face, the other three stopped their words wondering what was going on and started paying attention.
“I will duel with Atlas again.”
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Atlas agreed. Since you are guaranteeing your safety, isn’t it good to know?”
I was defeated by Atlas the other day, and not much time had passed, but a re-duel?
“… What do you want?”
What the hell did he want from Atlas?
A duel is a dangerous act in which you can risk and steal something precious from each other.
Before, Lemnos brought Atlas, whom she cared about, into a duel in order to duel Lucia, who was forbidden from dueling.
I touched him to make him break the promise made by the family.
If he harbored ill feelings toward him and continued to touch him, Lucia would not stand still any longer.
“Nothing… “
The words that came out of Edgar Lemnos’ mouth were unexpected.
“I don’t want anything else in this duel, I just want to defeat him with the sword of Lemnos.
I will make everyone admit that Lemnos is the strongest.”
As he said that, Lemnos’ eyes were burning like fireworks more than ever.

“aaa!!!!!”

“Gyaaa!!!!”

“aaa!!!!”
“I’m sure it will get better next time…!”
I screamed madly at the blue sky.
I could feel him glance at me from a distance at the continuous, monstrous screams.
I was in a very bad mood today to the point where the tension the day before was like a lie.
I took the newly created drug again, but there was no change.
“…Yes, there are things that are blocked by walls like this… “
It’s gloomy, but I already know that everything won’t work out.
‘The data is too small. After the close inspection, check what parts were affected, replenish the ingredients, and then start again..!’
I believed Professor Prague’s words that I would do it after conducting a detailed inspection, purchasing new materials, and properly analyzing the causes.
Lucia cautiously brought her words out while glancing at me, who looked somber.
“Atlas.. Decided to duel again..?”
“…Did I?”
Thinking about it, I think it was.
“I think it was…”
“The atmosphere was different from Lemnos’ usual..”
“If you’ve been beaten up like that and you’re out of your mind, you should be beaten more… There’s a boat over there.”
It wasn’t a good day, but regardless of my mood, time flies by.
Today was the day Andy returned from going up to the capital to receive his decoration.
A few students were waiting for Andy to welcome the return of the hero who saved her academy from an unprecedented crisis.
It wasn’t that many students came out because it was during class.
Still, the people here must be passionate fans who really adore Andy… There were a few men, but there were a lot of women.
“Are all the students waiting for the instructor..?”
“Ugh.. I don’t want to look bad.”
I should have taken classes as well, but I came out confidently with self-learning.
Lucia, who was next to her, said that I was going, so she seems to have followed secretly.
When the ship looked quite close, Andy Robinson, dressed in an Imperial Knight’s uniform, appeared on her deck and shook her hand.
As Andy shook his hand, his fans at the port cheered.
He was tall, well-proportioned, blonde, and had a smooth face, but he was quite worthy of seeing because he was even wearing a knight’s uniform.
“Look at the corner of his mouth being torn just because he received that medal.”
It’s only natural that Andy is doing well because I’m making concessions.
It’s good for me that he’s doing well because he took care of what I was bothered by.
But in the corner of his heart, seeing him doing so well, something creeps up on him.
It could be because he’s tall, with a blonde hair similar to mine, and has the look of me at the age I wanted, or it could be that he’s just bursting with annoyance from the lack of medicinal effects.
As she crossed her arms and looked at Andy who came up on deck, she accidentally met his eyes.
“Huh?”
Andy senpai looked away.
As soon as their eyes met mine, they turned around.
“Why is that person avoiding my eyes?”
I have a very foreboding feeling.
Have you ever had an accident in the capital?
The moment I decided to ask what happened when I docked, I got chills.
“… Shit.”
A woman walking out onto the deck caught her eye.
She was wearing a neat uniform.
Like Andy, she was dressed in a white-based uniform that symbolizes the Imperial Knights, and on the outside, she only looked like a beautiful knight.
Her black hair, like the ebony that contrasted with her uniform, was pulled up in a ponytail, but her hair at the sides fluttered in the sea breeze.
And staring straight at me with black eyes as deep as pitch-black darkness.
No one else is looking straight at me.
My mouth is burning.
I know very well who that person is.
I started to backtrack little by little.
Looking at me like that, I could see a small smile creeping over her mouth as she stared at me.
There was only one thing that meant that he was here.
“You betrayed Andy..!!!”
“..What happened to Atlas..?”
She stared at me, fiddling with the hilt of her sword worn around her waist.
It’s about 5 minutes until the ship arrives at the port.
‘Now… If you run away… What will happen to the leap of growth that is being developed… ?’
Professor Prague is currently analyzing the cause.
Should I leave behind the clue to growth I had barely discovered?
You can come and collect it later, but as long as your eyes are stamped here, this place will also be subject to surveillance.
While she was thinking about it for a while, there was a change in her body.
‘I don’t have a knife..!!!’
The hilt of the sword she was holding was gone, leaving only an empty scabbard at her waist.
I didn’t even have to worry about where the knife on my waist had disappeared.
It seems that he has no intention of waiting for the ship to dock.
She took out the sword she had brought just in case.
In the distance, I heard the sound of something flying rapidly.
A sharp sound, like birds of prey descending from the sky to hunt, came very close.
I came close.
I immediately raised my sword.
-Chang!!!!
“Queup!!!”
And then my body was thrown out.
“Huh? Atlas??”
I can see Lucia in the distance who is embarrassed by my sudden disappearance.
I was right next to it, but the reason I couldn’t help but look so small was because my body was flying in the sky.
Something is interlocking with the sword.
I blocked it with a cross guard, but the identity of the thing that was fiercely advancing toward my chest was a sword.
The sword, a block of cold and hard metal, snatched me away and flew through the sky.
If a third person saw it, it would be a very embarrassing situation.
It’s just that a solid looking sword is flying through the air, snatching people away.
And that too at a very fast pace.
The hilt of a familiar shape catches the eye at the back.
It was the hilt of the sword she had been fiddling with on her deck until earlier.
I told you that the scabbard was empty, but I immediately blew it away.
I got stuck somewhere on the academy grounds while fighting with a flying sword.
– BANG!!!
With the explosion, the soil rose high into the air like a bomb exploded, but I didn’t get much of a shock.
The sword that was about to pierce my heart even to the end of the world fell from me and soared high into the sky.
There was no damage from being thrown, but it was unpleasant with dirt in the mouth.
“Two! You say hello once in a while..!!”
I spit out the dirt in my mouth and felt a chilling sensation from the sky.
When I look up, the sword that I am stuck in a remote place in an unknown academy is in someone’s hand this time.
From noble mtl dot com
I don’t know how I followed her, but the girl on the deck picked up the sword that had just been flying relentlessly toward my heart and slashed it down with great speed.
The sword in his hand was surrounded by blinding flashes.
“!!”
It is already too late if we talk and act.
I also countered the attack with a flash of light on my sword.
Two flashes of blindingly brilliant light collided.
-Damn it
Before the two Aura Blades reached their extremes, the sound of something tearing was heard in the air.
I don’t know if the air or the space is torn, but something was definitely torn,
Two aura blades with enormous power collided and exploded, sending heavy shockwaves in all directions.
-Thump… !!
The shock wave flew through the air, tearing the sky apart and splitting the earth.
On that day, an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.0 Was measured across Academy Island just by the two of them colliding together.
————————-
“Ha..!! You broke it again!!”
The sword in my hand crumbled into black ashes again.
I swung it with all my might, but it would be nice if I could survive even once.
How long can you stand against that man standing majestically in front of you without a proper sword?
The woman walked lightly, brushing away the dust.
Even after such an outburst, neither her dress nor her neatly tied hair were disturbed at all.
The sword was no longer in her hand.
The sword she had been holding up until now was just quietly floating around her again.
A sword sword technique that moves the sword by itself rather than throwing it.
There is only one person in the empire who can freely use this technique in which a sword levitates without using magic.
It is Linda West Harbor, the leader of the Imperial Knights.
He’s one of the characters I’m most uncomfortable with.
“Pick it up.”
As she spoke, another sword fell from the sky.
It seems that not one bag was left, but two bags.
The one that fell right in front of me was a very familiar sword to me.
It was the sword I received as a gift after I officially joined the Knights.
Looking at the fact that he threw the sword, it only seems to mean that we should stick together properly.
I didn’t want to die in a place like this, so I picked it up right away.
When he pulled it out, the jet-black blade made of adamantium, a rare metal, absorbed the sunlight and turned dark ink.
“Have you said goodbye, Captain?”
“I can’t say no, you troublemaker.”
As soon as I confirmed that I had pulled out the sword, the sword that had been quietly floating around the captain attacked fiercely.
