After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 137

137 – The wedding ceremony

Sharon looked up at me with tears in her eyes.

That too for a moment.

Her face immediately fell as if she had lost her last hope.

Did you think I would accept a pledge of obedience?

Or did he think he would need help in the promotion battle?

Whatever you think, Sharon is wrong.

Because it wasn’t that urgent for me now.

The oath of obedience has the side effect of not knowing what will happen during the soul bonding process.

The same goes for Sharon joining the promotion party.

There may be some side effects from Sharon’s joining.

Conflicts arise with Lina Roswell, who was previously with her but split up.

Or maybe she just doesn’t match Danya or Elena’s personality.

Sharon Pierce’s skills and talent are definitely great. Our party’s weak points, melee damage and crisis response, will definitely be strengthened.

But I already have the Berserker’s Shield?

I’m not in a hurry right now to take the risk of Sharon.

So, for me, Sharon is a side effect.

And above all-

‘I’m just reluctant.’

I don’t know the exact reason.

But I am reluctant.

Maybe it’s because of disappointment.

A sense of disappointment and futility toward the character I so admired beyond the screen. Would you say it is a so-called hyeonta?

It is already curfew time.

“That’s all I have to say.”

I issued an order to congratulate Sharon.

◆

The day of departure for the promotion match.

We gathered at dawn in the southern port city of the continent.

Gathering across the continent in the morning.

Even if there is a portal, isn’t that too much?

Just grumbling for a moment.

“Wow! It’s so big! I’ve never seen a ship that big! Come quickly, Ian!”

Lina smiled brightly and led me to the front of the boat.

“I think a boat this big can carry all the students at the Lichten Academy! Wow. Ian, have you ever seen a boat this big? At my house, we only had a small wooden boat for the lake inside the mansion! We didn’t have money for that either. “I sold it!”

“

…There is a lake inside the mansion?

Are you poor?

She wanted to tackle Lina, who was excited in many ways, but she didn’t dare open her mouth.

Two large ships filled the harbor.

The size itself is not that surprising.

To a modern person, they are just ships slightly smaller than a cruise ship.

But the point that surprised me was different.

That’s right….

“Wow- it really took off!”

These.

Flying in the sky.

Why did they have to make it shaped like a boat to fly in the sky?

Why did they bother to float it on the sea again?

I put aside such strange criticism for a moment.

Rather than that, appreciating this scenery comes first.

Light blue sky.

The bright blue sea.

The horizon spreads far away.

White clouds passing between ships.

“Wow. It really has a fantasy feel.”

I let out an exclamation without realizing it.

“Huh? What did you say?”

“It’s nothing.”

Lina smiled brightly at my words and pointed at Danya.

“Hehe. I guess Danya isn’t scary.”

Dagna was hanging precariously on the railing at the end of the boat.

Pink hair blowing in the wind.

Looking at the gently swaying tail, the wind seems quite pleasant.

‘It looks like a puppy sticking its head out of the car window.’

It wasn’t just Danya.

On this ship were students from the Faculty of Magic and the Faculty of Priests.

Everyone was enjoying the travel atmosphere as if they were on a school trip.

There were children among them who spread these rumors.

“It’s Volta Island. If you look closely, there are ancient treasures lying dormant there. Someone I know said that he earned his entire tuition at Liechten by finding one treasure.”

“Is that so? My family is rich, so I’m not very interested, but since it’s an ancient treasure, I’m interested from an academic perspective. Coincidentally, I also heard a rumor that I discovered a stone tablet with ancient magic written on it in a cave. Second…”

Well.

It’s obvious that rumors spread in this atmosphere.

There is treasure buried on the island.

Some scary things are moving around.

And so on.

‘That’s about half right.’

To be precise, it is a ‘relic’ rather than a ‘treasure’, and a ‘mystery’ rather than ‘ancient knowledge’.

Volta Island, the place where the promotion battle takes place.

Relics and mysteries related to ancient times lie dormant here.

Mystery refers to special abilities such as ‘physical regeneration power’ or ‘overwhelming senses’.

It was one of the reasons why the promotion match was anticipated.

At least once, you will definitely get a chance to get a secret or something.

‘To do that, you have to survive for a long time.’

Lina, Danya, Elena and me.

It may be the beginning of the semester, but our power is by no means low.

At that time.

Clap clap-.

Professor Violet applauded coquettishly and attracted attention.

“All Mejai. Everyone, please gather around.”

A large room on one side of the ship.

At Professor Violet’s feet, there was a small box.

“… What is that?”

It took a while for anyone to express doubts.

After seeing that the students had gathered, Violet waved her finger.

— Sararak!

It is a small bracelet that looks like a smart band.

There was a number written in the middle.

“This is the protective gear you will wear during the promotion battle.

Physical strength is awarded differently based on your grades. “Students with low grades need to be especially careful.”

No way!

One guy sobbed as he looked at his bracelet.

I took a quick look and saw that the number was written around [2].

‘At that level, if you just pass by and get hit by a rock, you’ll be eliminated.’

“Of course, it only works on the Volta Islands, so there’s no need to start backstabbing others here.”

The student who was approaching the guy scratched the back of his head shyly.

“The rest is the same as previously explained. Survive as long as possible and kill monsters and dangerous species. When you put it on the bracelet, you will receive coins according to the level of the opponent you defeated. Form a team to hunt strong enemies and earn coins. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to distribute it.”

Violet paused for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Of course, coins can be obtained not only from monsters but also from other cadets.”

The cadets began to murmur at her words.

“If another cadet’s protection artifact stamina is reduced to ‘0’, that cadet will be immediately eliminated and protected, and the bracelet held by the eliminated cadet will be dropped so that it can be acquired.

Because the ‘coins’ are stored in information format within the bracelet, all coins that the student has will be acquired.”

“…!”

Most students attending Liechten are smart.

It means that everyone here understands that this rule is key.

This was the reason why the children’s eyes became more intense.

“I’ll explain a few more rules.”

Violet waved her hand in the air.

An island-shaped inscription was drawn in the air, as if it had been drawn with chalk on a blackboard.

“The island is about three times the size of the Academy site. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a city. Among them are…”

She marked some terrain with an X.

“There are bases where the food, convenience tools, and weapons you need for survival are gathered. If you secure these places, you will be able to survive in relative comfort.”

On the other hand.

You will have to prepare for battles with other cadets.

“It’s not a bad idea to aim only at survival during the 7 days of the promotion battle. If you succeed in surviving, you will receive a bonus coin equivalent to the average of the participants.”

In other words, just surviving is more than half the battle.

Of course, the promotion battle is not such an easy test.

Just like in a death match, there are bound to be rules to prevent people who just want to survive without fighting.

“As soon as all the cadets are assigned to the island, ‘encroachment’ begins from the outer area. If you enter an area in an encroachment state, your stamina will be steadily depleted, and if you do not escape quickly, you will be eliminated, right?”

And in this case, it is also a tent.

Why does it remind me of a Bat Royale-style FPS?

“You’ll be above Volta Island in a little while. On the ship, you’ll be transported to the island. The location is random, but if you stand nearby with a teammate, you’ll start in a similar area.”

Violet concluded her explanation with a request.

“If an unexpected situation arises, please withdraw at any time. It is still the first semester of the first year. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to be promoted to ether.”

It’s not because of your mood that you seem to be talking especially while looking at me, right?

I’m confused about the meaning of those sparkling eyes.

Are you worried?

Or do you want to spend one more semester with yourself?

‘Hmm. ‘

Isn’t the latter sobering?

I remember being caught in Violet’s lab not long ago.

It was Professor Violet who sat down on the sofa and sat right next to me so that I couldn’t escape.

— I’ll take care of your truancy, so why don’t you do something nice with the professor?

That day, I had to talk to her about her research for an entire hour.

“……”

My body is shaking.

I really thought I was going to be eaten!

I feel sorry for Violet, but I have to be promoted to Ether.

Of course, not only that, but we also need to prepare for ‘Chapter 3’ of the upcoming scenario.

I don’t know whether the setting will be Holy Constantine’s papal palace or the imperial palace of the empire…

‘No matter where it goes, it needs to at least be worthy of the name .’

These are two places of infinitely high standard.

Ether is said to be the minimum condition to be treated as a human being.

“Ah…”

My head is already pounding just thinking about it.

Now that I think about it, hasn’t it been too long since I was possessed?

‘Honey… I need honey.

Volta Island is just the right place for a honeymoon.

Relics. Mystery. All kinds of amazing animals and plants.

Plus, ether promotion.

I plan to apply it properly this time.
