140 – Danya’s estrus
At Professor Lewen’s words, one professor’s head turned.
Purple hair. Noticeable volume of the upper body.
The identity was Professor Violet, who had recently been promoted to dean of the Department of Magic.
Just as Professor Lewen said, Emilia Raymond and her group were busy moving around.
Should we call it the ether class?
As expected from a member of the grand prize group, he appears to be well-versed in strategy.
The head of the Ether class smiled brightly at the performance of the cadet in charge.
“The team composition is also great, isn’t it? It includes 3 members of the Ether class and Hector, the top student from the Knights Department. Cadet Hector has a body that is coveted even in our Ether, so I’m really looking forward to it.”
‘A greedy woman.’
No matter who they are, they steal all the good students into the ether, so what are their expectations?
Violet muttered that to herself.
I nodded my head as a courtesy.
It was also true.
Emilia Raymond’s team composition seemed quite excellent at first glance.
Warrior, Seeker, Priest, Wizard.
Except for warriors, everyone is ether class.
They are all proven talents.
Furthermore, his grades are at the top level, so his physical strength is also overwhelmingly high.
No matter what anyone says, that team has the highest probability of winning right now.
Professor Lewen added, drawing their route on a map.
” [Rock Tower] I think they’re planning to secure the supply base first. It’s a good choice. It’s not only a place for supplies, but it’s also a must-pass route to the center of the island. Someone told me it’s one of the most important places in the early to mid-game. “If I had to choose, I would have chosen that place.”
Meanwhile.
There were other parties that stood out.
“The party of Aria, a saint candidate in the priestly department, also stands out. Except for the saint candidates, all of them are priests of the ether class. Isn’t there a picture that gives a little push?”
The head of the Department of Priestly Studies laughed at someone’s point.
“Hehe. How can we dissuade students from doing something that involves their religious beliefs?”
“Well, Cadet Aria’s abilities are by no means lacking. She recently gained enlightenment again, right?”
“Haha. This rumor seems to be spreading scary fast again.”
The head of the Department of Priestly Studies smiles kindly and nods.
“As expected… They are actually ahead of Emilia’s party. Are they planning to start by entering the center? They must have noticed Emilia’s strategy. It is definitely more about solidifying the top rank than competing…”
Starting from that conversation, conversations about the top-ranked cadets took place among the deans.
Amelia’s party.
Aria’s party.
A party composed solely of ether cadets.
A party comprised of only the highest level members of each class, excluding Ether.
Well begun is half done.
Groups that showed excellent performance from the start had a high possibility of being promoted to Ether, or maintaining their status if they were already in Ether.
It was natural that the professors’ attention was focused.
But.
Professor Violet was alone and checking on other students.
Everyone else is heading to the center, but the children are heading to the outskirts alone.
Violet tapped her lips nervously.
Seeing Violet’s unusual appearance, the head of the knight department next to her asked.
“Why are they going backwards?”
It wasn’t a voice of concern.
Rather, there was a strange smile on his face.
The relationship between the Department of Magic and the Department of Knights could not be said to be good.
The grade principals were also fighting with each other a lot.
The appearance of three Magic Department cadets flowing in the background.
There was a sneer on his face.
“Ah. It’s really going backwards. I guess I heard it wrongly that the devastation starts from the outside. It happens sometimes. Stupid guys like that.”
“… They’re not stupid, right?”
I tried to hold back, but Violet stung me without realizing it.
If you do this, you will lose.
Violet closed her eyes tightly.
“Oh my. I’m sorry if you got angry. I guess they were Professor Violet’s favorite cadets.”
Criticize people first and then apologize.
And I know that he is not the type of person to apologize in the first place.
I guess it’s true.
“Still, no matter how you look at it, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to meet the devastation time. Well, unless I can at least wake up to levitation and fly.”
Violet simply remained unresponsive.
A strategy of keeping quiet when times are unfavorable.
Wizards must know how to bide their time.
Of course, Professor Engelgard of the Department of Knights could not remain silent as he took the opportunity to make fun of that arrogant wizard.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how many students will advance to the Faculty of Magic this time. I think at least three will advance to the Faculty of Knights… The students of the Faculty of Magic…”
Hmm.
The man who paused only to scratch the other person continued.
“You need to teach me how to read a map again.”
Puhup.
Engelgard of the Department of Knights turns around with a sneer-like exhalation.
Veins slightly appeared on Violet’s fair forehead.
‘Ian definitely has some plan. ‘He’s a bald guy.’
She muttered softly and turned her gaze to the screen.
◆
“Can you see it?”
“Wait a minute… Yes! They’re all coming!”
A large tree on the outskirts of the island, in front of a dragon-shaped rock.
The cry of Danya, who was looking around from above.
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
‘… Everyone came together somehow.’
Actually, I was most worried about this starting moment.
In a promotion battle, it can be said that only the beginning is half the battle, and numerous variables are distributed at the starting point.
Suddenly being summoned to a place where a monster is and being attacked.
Even if you form a team, each person gets destroyed before they meet.
Once we got around here, there was no need to worry about meeting other cadets, so it was virtually as if everyone had gathered.
“Danya, you can come down now.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Yes!”
Ian put his shoulder toward Danya, who was hanging on a branch. Just barely
— Pababat!
“Come down slowly. Monkeys… No, even cats can fall from trees.”
“Hmph. What do you think I am? When I was young, I even slept on a tree.”
This is Danya hanging from a branch located above her head.
To come down, you have to step on Ian’s shoulder, just like when you go up.
Hanging from a branch as if hanging from an iron bar was just high enough to reach Ian’s shoulder.
Danya continued speaking confidently, stepping on Ian’s shoulder with her white, soft toes stretched out.
“Of the great Katsnesia clan… Yaaaaa!”
Slippery!
Danya’s hand holding the branch slipped.
Thanks to her, she was able to slip on Ian’s shoulder.
Danya’s legs slid towards Ian’s chest.
Danya’s upper body hung around Ian’s head for balance.
It was Danya who borrowed her two legs and climbed on Ian’s shoulders.
It’s literally like suddenly riding a wooden horse.
“…!”
Ian lightly balanced his weight.
This was expected to some extent.
Because I was uneasy about that cat’s confidence and arrogance.
On the other hand, Danya.
“Ugh-!”
I let out a scream of panic.
A strangely sweet feeling.
“Are you okay?”
Ian raised his head.
That moment.
“No! Oh, no… !”
“… Danya?”
“Ugh! Don’t raise your head!”
Take a moment to feel the softness on your neck.
Ian quickly but carefully sat down on the floor.
Danya’s face was very red.
Danya sits down on the floor, unable to move her legs.
Why are you doing this?
Do I have a fever?
Ian asked her.
“Did you get bitten by a bug up there? Are you okay? Did I get off too hastily?”
“Oh, no, it’s not your fault…Nya. It’s okay. It’s nothing.”
“It’s okay. You look really hot right now. Don’t you have a fever?”
“Ha…No.”
Danya opened her eyes blearily and let out a heavy breath.
Ian’s hand reaches towards Danya’s forehead.
That moment.
“Ian!… Huh? Now, wait!!! You can’t touch it!”
Do-dada-dada!
Lina ran from far away and hugged Danya.
“You can’t touch it. Are you okay? You didn’t touch me?”
“Uh…Yeah.”
Ian could not understand the situation.
But she was hurt.
Because I felt like I was being treated like a virus.
Ian’s facial expression is basically not noticeable.
But Lina, who was always looking at him, could tell.
Ian is quite sullen right now.
“Ah! That’s not it… I can’t say it, but anyway! You can’t touch Danya for a while. This is… I can’t talk to men…! Anyway, I’m sorry!”
Poof.
Lina turned towards Danya and whispered.
‘Is it Hit Day by any chance? ‘
For all beasts, there is a period called heat day, commonly known as estrus day.
‘Uh…Yeah. I think so..Nya.’
‘Didn’t you say you still have about two weeks to spare?’
‘It’s been strange since I came to this island…’
The period, cycle, and degree vary depending on the species.
In the case of cats and beasts, the visit is short, about 5 days, once every 2 months.
‘There’s still a week left before promotion, is that okay?’
The solution to Heat Day is simple.
Suppress your instincts with superhuman patience.
Or try to satisfy your instincts.
Danya had great control over her instincts.
So far, I have never once felt uncomfortable on Heat Day.
But it was different now.
Because the male causing the estrus was right nearby.
— Sniff!
Danya, who was instinctively looking for Ian’s scent, hurriedly covered her nose.
‘But… I can endure it.’ You can’t harm the team for no reason…’
In fact, during Heat Day, beastmen become stronger.
Physical abilities increase and senses also become more sensitive.
This is to end up with someone you like.
It’s like walking around with a dose of natural adrenaline.
However, the problem comes after the conclusion has been made.
When desires are satisfied, the entire body becomes drowsy.
You will be able to deal with the aftereffects of the body that has been strengthened for so long.
‘Then I will take good care of it. ‘What should I do?’
‘I think I can survive as long as it doesn’t touch my skin…Nyang.’
Lina and Danya were whispering like that.
Ian was standing a little distance away.
It is difficult to intervene in a matter between women.
“It shouldn’t be a big deal.”
Devastation will slowly begin.
Of course, there is no need to rush.
No matter how close the devastation was, it wasn’t that scary.
This is the outermost part of the island.
But at the same time, it is also a place where there is a way to get to the center of the island faster than anyone else.
Anyway.
Where does Elena come from? She must have arrived soon.
“Tongue, brother!”
They say even tigers will come if you tell them what to do.
Far away.
Her eyes caught Elena running at her full speed.
Why are you in such a hurry? Is something chasing you? Monster? There shouldn’t be any around here, right?
The guy we need to catch is like the boss of this area, so we’ll be clean of all the random mobs.
No… Just a moment.
Then, does this mean that there is a monster stronger than that guy?
Gulp.
Ian swallowed his saliva and took a fighting stance.
“Ugh… Hak…! Haha!”
When Elena arrived, she placed her hands on her knees and caught her breath.
Then she stretched out both her hands towards the sky.
“I am first place!”
Ian lightly slapped Elena’s broad forehead.
— Chaap!
The sound of a crack echoed through the forest.
