51. Don’t Die!!
“Why did the busy knight commander make his way to the academy?”
Linda paused for a moment.
The reason she came to visit her academy unexpectedly is Atlas.
The third master of the empire, the shadow of the empire, threw a letter and found a clue to the whereabouts of the man who had been missing for several years, so he went secretly, keeping it a secret from everyone.
I was worried.
Unlike Wendy, Atlas is a master, listens well, and has a sense of responsibility.
The timing of running away from the knights is also exquisite.
As soon as the urgent cases were over and the work to do rapidly decreased, they went out as if they had waited.
Until then, Atlas’ life could be summarized in just two places: the Titans and the Knights.
He was born in Titan, received training, and eventually joined the Imperial Knights due to a family dispute. His life is very short and he has little experience.
He was anxious about going out and being stabbed by a bad person.
There were times when I went out on a mission and picked up a kid.
Because the root is good, I was worried that I might be caught by bad girls who want to use it.
‘…Is it already threaded?’
I watched life at the academy, and I couldn’t believe it because all of my close friends were women… But fortunately, there was no such sign.
He looks healthy, his relationships don’t seem to be much of a problem, he hasn’t been abroad, and he’s not just playing.
“I was curious because the level of the freshmen this time was very good.”
“I didn’t know you cared so much about the academy…?”
“How can I care, when there might be another master like me out of these.”
Edward frowned at the imposing voice of the academy entrance examination, but smiled again.
“Yes… I can see it, Master.”
“Hoo..?”
Linda’s eyes narrowed at Edward’s words.
Did you notice that Atlas is a ‘shadow’? It’s unbecomingly sharp.’
“The future master who will light up Lemnos…!”
I wondered if Atlas had noticed that he was the Master, but he said something completely different.
‘..Was he proud of his son?’
The steam is gone.
“Then, this duel will definitely win, right?”
“Of course…! I’m going to take care of such a kid who doesn’t know where he came from…!
Edgar is already looking at his superiors. He’s much stronger than me when he was that age… Yes, unlike me, he will definitely become a master.”
Linda knows that Edgar has already beaten the boy once.
There’s no way Edward wouldn’t know that…But he laughed when he deliberately said he didn’t lose without telling himself.
“I hope so”
“Why are you laughing…!”
“No… It’s kind of funny to see how much you love your son.”
Edgar Lemnos will be defeated.
My opponent is a master, I deliberately told him not to even think about losing, so I will definitely win.
What will Edward look like when his proud son loses in front of everyone?
Can I boast as much as I do now?
In either case, Linda was looking forward to that moment.
“You’ll know when you have children… Excuse me… You’re still single..?”
Edward laughed vigorously.
It is a well-known fact that Linda is still single.
She seems to think she took a hit, but she said no blows to Linda.
“Yes, ‘Master’ is busy. You don’t know.”
“I…Ik…!!”
When I told him not to mess around with someone who wasn’t even a master, Edward’s face went red again.
Apart from that, it was annoying that it was mentioned in relation to the marriage situation.
As I get older, the only ones of my age who haven’t gotten married or dated are myself and my younger brother… Both of them are masters, so they don’t age easily, so there are no physical problems.
Now that I’ve become a master, I don’t care about other people’s reputation.
Dating or getting married… It’s just that I didn’t do it because I didn’t have a man who caught my eye.
From noble mtl dot com
It’s true that work is busy…
There is a male image that I have thought about to some extent.
I want you to listen well, and you have to have good skills.
At least the highest level… Master level?
He didn’t want a man stronger than himself, but masters were a bit different from ordinary people, so the same masters communicated well.
I wish it wasn’t annoying, and I thought it would be better if it was cute.
All the big men had such strong pride that I didn’t listen to them very well.
‘… No no, this is the main book.’
Through that, someone passed through my head, but I quickly shook it off.
She thought of Wendy like her own sister, and she wore it, but she said it was ridiculous that she was doing this, and she organized her thoughts that she was Linda.
“You idiots… Why are you guys arguing without paying attention even though I’m with you!!”
And as the fight between the two intensified, the principal who was in the center eventually got angry.
————————————————————————- ———————-
I wanted to end it quickly, but the duel is taking longer than I thought.
The reason is simple.
It was because Edgar could die if his body condition suddenly deteriorated and his strength ran out.
I need to lose my strength, but it’s too hard to adjust the ambiguous things in between.
And it is true that Edgar’s skills have improved considerably.
I managed to dodge the attack twice with the intention of ending it.
Failure to control his strength was also a major cause, but if Edgar hadn’t improved at all, it would have already ended.
In a short period of time, my form improved considerably.
“How is it! My sword!!”
As before, he no longer boasts of his aura blade enhanced with the power of the sword.
Knowing that I don’t use the Aura Blade anyway, the Aura Blade maintains the proper output, adjusts the power, and measures the distance well.
I don’t believe in a blow that I can’t block and push through with force, but I attack carefully, paying attention to my distance and my own distance.
Is this originally Edgar’s skill, or did he really grow in that short time?
“Having been defeated by you… I feel good about it. That’s right… I was complacent.
There was no one in my age who could compete with me… There are so many people stronger than me, but I believed that I was the best at the same level as me. “
Edgar is delighted with the improved aspect of the duel.
In the first duel, I was beaten one-sidedly, but now I haven’t been hit even once.
Edgar’s attack didn’t go in either, but it was important that he didn’t get hit either.
It’s definitely better than before.
“I will surpass you..!! And again, I will prove that the sword of Lemnos is the best in the empire!!”
Edgar’s sword grazes my chest.
It didn’t touch, but the aura blade emitting hot heat pierced a hole in the top that passed by.
Attack has become lighter.
Knowing that it was worth doing, I decided to come in more boldly.
I dodged Lemnos’ attack and said.
“… Doesn’t Lemnos smell strange?”
“It’s a volcano, so it smelled like sulfur.”
It smells different from sulfur, like rotten eggs.
I realized.
A layer of gas heavier than air lay underneath.
Looking at the fact that the body is difficult to move, it seems to have the effect of paralyzing the body.
I didn’t notice it when I was there, but I was inhaling a little bit of gas every time I moved.
Is the layer formed around my chest? In terms of height, it should be about 130.
It seems that the gas is very heavy, no matter how much you move, it can only reach below 150 and you can hardly go up above that.
Lemnos, who is over 180 cm tall, rarely sniffs gas unless I put his head down or throw it somewhere.
I don’t know if this is artificial or because it’s really a volcanic area, but it’s very unpleasant.
‘I never knew even if I was taller than 160, is this…?’
It’s like being caught in a trap that will inevitably fall under 150 height.
I suddenly got angry.
It was an environment that could take both equally, but is it really difficult because I’m short?
You don’t even know that, and Edgar is elated in front of you?
“… This is kind of upsetting.”
Strength went into the hand holding the sword.
“Take it…!!”
A flame burned on Edgar’s sword.
Lemnos charged, holding an aura blade of flame that was more splendid than seen in the previous duel.
His body shuddered like a mirage, then stretched into six afterimages and surrounded me.
I remember that technique.
It looks like an illusion, but it is Lemnos’ arcane swordsmanship that attacks all at once with alter egos made of burning auras.
Lemnos’s secret technique that attacks the Aura Blade in 6 directions at the same time,
“Haze!!!”
Six burning aura blades swung at me all at once.
Impossible to evade I can’t see the reaction of the crowd, but everyone must be thinking of my defeat.
Aiming at the blazing aura blade flying in all directions, I raised my long sword aside that didn’t even contain an aura.
Then he swung it with all his might.
The power was not adjusted.
I wanted to end this duel right away, so I swung as hard as I could.
-Wow!
“Quaaa!!!!”
The effect was amazing.
With just one swing without controlling the power, all the alter egos were smashed at once.
It didn’t have an aura around it, but it tore all of its alter egos apart with the sword wind that came out when it swung the sword.
Edgar, the main body that was mixed in among the alter egos, fell out as the alter egos disappeared.
All of the armor I wore on my body was shattered in one blow.
“Ah… How did the haze… Destroy this bigi…!”
Edgar asked with difficulty as he rolled on the hot volcanic floor.
But unfortunately, my head was full of other thoughts right now.
“Who made this space?”
You have to kill the creator of this goddamn space that has a trap that only takes height 150 or less.
Evidently, Edgar had fallen, but this space hadn’t disappeared yet, so he shouted.
“It’s the end of the duel now that you’ve laid it down. Hurry up and close this space! This kid will die!!”
“What…”
Edgar, who didn’t know what that meant, quickly learned what it meant.
“Wow??!!!”
As he collapsed, Lemnos’ complexion rapidly turned purple as he inhaled the gas thickly spread on the floor.
He didn’t vomit blood, but his breathing slowed and foam came out of his mouth.
I knew it would have such an effect, but Edgar would have an expert intermediate level, but it is a very strong reaction.
“………”
Edgar, who was exhaling heavily, slowed down and collapsed.
“…?”
Couldn’t it be?
There’s no way you’ll die just by taking it for a few seconds
“Hey, get up quickly and then really die?”
I slipped closer and touched the fallen Edgar.
Edgar didn’t even move.
As if he were dead.
.
.
.
.
.
“Hey! Yayaya!! Wake up!! Get up!! If you don’t want to search!!”
In a hurry, Edgar picked it up so that he could no longer control the gas.
If you die now, it will be like I killed you!!!
