31 – 31. Early Semester Assessment (4)
“Kkeuh…! It really hurts!”
I managed to grab Charlotte’s arms, one in each of her arms, and drive her to the ground.
When her arms were sealed, Charlotte struggled and tried to shake off me who grabbed her arms.
Until this point, I thought that I would be able to hold on like this.
However, it seems that he realized that brute force was useless, and he only released his mana unilaterally.
Thanks to that, my body was hit head-on by the blade of Charlotte’s magical power.
The school uniform is tearing beyond the limit of the power it can block, and the skin gradually becomes rough and begins to be cut and torn.
Due to the magical wind, even red blood pierces through the sharp cuts in the skin.
Still, she didn’t let go of that arm.
-Kurrureur…!
“Let go? I can’t. I don’t want to die either… If I run away from here, I’ll die anyway.”
I have no choice but to endure even if my skin is cut and blood bleeds from Charlotte’s magical wind.
The moment you let go, your tattered body will no longer be able to resist and give you your heart.
It’s the same even if miraculously they don’t target me.
Hurting people due to Charlotte’s runaway. If Charlotte gets out of control and attacks the others.
Isn’t it obvious that the result will lead to the reduction of the principality’s power and the death of one member of Thembris who became a murderer at the same time.
‘But… What should I do?’
It is unreasonable to continue to endure in this state.
How do you replenish Charlotte’s depleted mana?
There is a limit to the amount of time I can last, and Goden and the others will arrive after quite some time, as I expected.
As Goden did, it’s best to put her Charlotte to sleep and then feed her a solution made with her magical candle.
The problem is that it is impossible for me now.
‘The other way… The other way…’
I can’t help but recall the situation at the time.
If it’s the way it was originally, it must have been when Charlotte persuaded the other four to take me in, and she was annihilating the rats as a team.
Then, after escaping from the tyrannical team, Charlotte and I meet Goden and fall in love with him.
Even if you calculate the time, it will take 30 minutes. That means it will take another 20 minutes for Noel and John to get Goden alone.
-Kreuk, kreureuk!!!!
The raging wind blows my mind.
Suddenly, my body is getting chilly, and the pain seems to be lessening.
“f*ck… I can’t even last 5 minutes, let alone 20 minutes…?”
If you don’t get an answer, roll your head again. If I give up here anyway, I will give my heart to Charlotte and die.
A girl blinded by magical power commits murder, and if she doesn’t want me to be the target, she rolls her head against the magical wind.
That is the only future in which I, who will die in 5 minutes, can survive.
Come on. What does Charlotte need right now?
It’s magic, but it’s not okay to put in the unprocessed, muddy magic that spreads across the continent.
What is needed is clean magic enough to remove the turbidity and make the human brain spin again.
-‘It’s possible even with human skin. Isn’t that why I grabbed your wrist?’
Speaking of magical power, I remembered the advice I received during the sparring with Professor Meuniher.
‘If that’s the case, then I…!’
It will be possible.
Clean magical power refined by the body that received raw demonic energy.
A person’s magical power must also be refined.
‘Next…How to put magic…’
If you can put magic into it in any way, you can stop her runaway madness.
What is needed is pure magic that the body that has received the unprocessed demonic energy that has spread across the continent refines and produces it.
Among the methods of insertion, the correct way is to pass the liquid magic power down the esophagus.
Or, there is a way to get rid of side effects by injecting someone with similar magical quality.
But now is not the time to argue about right and wrong, but we need a way to put it in somehow.
-Kyareuk?!
When I put her magic lightly in the way I learned a while ago, the resistance temporarily weakened as if Charlotte’s magic circulation was distorted in an instant.
“It might be a bit dizzy, but that’s why I’m also disarming my magic shield, so it’s okay, okay?”
In other words, it seemed to work. It’s the only anti-personnel tactic I can use.
It was a godsend to ask Professor Meuniher for instruction.
-‘Isn’t human skin tactile? Magical power has such a nerve, so if I inject magic into your skin, the flow of magic will flow in the forward direction.’
-‘So… Did you actually avoid this by injecting your mana into someone else and making it flow in the same direction?’
-‘Exactly. There is also a medical technique that uses this principle to pour magic into the skin and treat seriously injured people.’
-‘However, sophisticated mana control is required. It also has the disadvantage that the pain of the patient is too great unless magic of a similar nature flows. I have no choice but to endure it for the sake of a dying patient.’
Anti-cast.
It was something I had always done.
No, it might be because he’s an incompetent failing student who can’t even speak properly other than that.
However, I have no regrets about the fact that I have learned it now.
“It’s true that I had a bad ending at that party… But I never had the thought of wanting you guys to die.”
To Charlotte, who can’t hear these words, she throws these words out for no reason.
“So. Please bear with it even if it hurts a little. Charlotte.”
I hope our youngest, who wanted to become an adult the most, will suffer a little less.
-Kyaaa!!!!
***
It’s quiet. I feel trapped in a dark space with no one around.
I am afraid that if I am not conscious, my thoughts will be cut off, my breathing, my pulse, and the beating of my life will stop soon.
However, in this quiet place, Charlotte did not want to go out.
Strangely enough, I had the urge to take out the heart from his chest and chew it, which I had almost lost my appetite for.
Obviously, I was furious at first. I wanted to kill those four rats right away, but I didn’t have enough mana for the continued battle.
But he knew better than anyone else that if he collapsed like this, everyone there would not be able to live.
It was for that reason that I had to forcefully squeeze out even the missing mana.
It must have been from then. The time when the anger that had risen to the top of her head faded and her body began to lose control.
I froze the four rats with all my might, and from then on, I couldn’t think of anything because my head was black.
My body didn’t move at will. Even so, only the momentary scene I saw at the end remained clear.
She wanted to eat something. That she was longing for unsatisfied magic power.
That a man was aiming at the man who saved him with a terrible and contemptuous look at him as a livestock, a nutrient.
Then, slowly, the memories I had began to cut out like a film cut.
As if he had become an idiot after arriving in this dark place.
I longed for magic somehow.
I was blind from then on.
I smelled the fishy smell of blood.
He ate his heart somewhere. The raw mana was delicious. However, it was lacking.
In another place where the scent of blood emanated, there was food that seemed even sweeter.
What would it taste like if you ate its heart?
The body was already moving. I ran at it several times, but the prey was too persistent.
Nevertheless, he rushed. I was already intoxicated by the mana scent that seemed to be the most delicious.
-I ─────… You ───── don’t exist.
This voice…?
“So. Please bear with it even if it hurts a little. Charlotte.”
…
……
………
No…! That person can’t…!
When the brain, which had been eaten away by instincts in the unconscious, accepts something, it pushes away the appetite that has been eating away endlessly.
Something like a very soft fluid into the space that was barely pushed out. Flowed from both wrists.
Wrist, Elbow, Shoulder, Neck, Chest. And soon after entering the heart, something gritty was pushed out along with breathing.
It felt like my head was getting clearer as I was soaked in this sunny yet warm feeling.
At the same time, she slowly returns from her most disparate memories.
-‘Other people may admit it, but I will never accept my senior.’
-‘Why do you stay in this party when you’re no longer of any use? You’re grabbing the ankles of party members!’
-‘It’s because of you… It’s all because of you!! This party was dragged down because of you, one incompetent person!!!’
Charlotte had never said that before, and this was the only memory she could recall now.
Then, locked in her unconscious, she began to open her mouth.
“No… No…”
Why not? You’re hungry you can eat
“No… I’m not hungry… I…!”
Lies. Why aren’t you hungry while suffering so much?
Eating makes me happy. I can live on. Do not reject that providence. Are eating you must eat that…
“Oh?”
At that moment, Charlotte felt an unpleasant sensation as if something had been poured into her body.
Is it the smell of something spilled? That fishy smell woven into her nostrils.
“Hey… I can’t use anything right now, what should I do if I use something like that…”
The man’s voice that is heard once again brings back memories that were slowly eroded.
Then, the clean and soft magic felt on her skin rides Charlotte’s clogged circuit and circulates through her body.
As the amount of magic power circulating in her circuit increased, Charlotte’s body was slowly regaining control.
Eventually, when her clean and pure magical energy was sufficiently filled, Charlotte’s eyes, which had not been able to see even a single point of light, regained their clear pupils.
“It hurts… I’m going to search…”
Contrary to the man’s words that he would die of pain, Charlotte didn’t feel any pain while her mana flowed in.
Away from her darkness, Charlotte’s eyes were bloody and she watched only the staggering man.
Took.
“…”
The man who was holding her Charlotte’s arms collapses helplessly, and her Charlotte comes to her senses and carefully accepts him and sits down.
As her bloodied Junon closes her eyes, she fearfully puts her bloodied hand to her nose.
I felt a tickling sensation in my red-stained hand. It was shallow, but his breath was not cut off.
As I pressed his body closely, his heart against his shoulder was also beating hard. The heart continues its life activity without stopping.
The girl’s breath, which had been choking, finally came out in a winding motion.
“Thank God… It’s…”
Alive.
He was attacked by a monster on his behalf.
He suppressed himself for not being able to control his power because he was engrossed in dealing with the demons.
He finally succeeded in turning a beast into a human.
Junon.
I’m so glad you’re alive.
Charlotte spat out his name and laid the man’s rags-to-be head resting on her lap.
However, his body doesn’t look comfortable. This damp liquid flowing everywhere is annoying.
“There is… So much blood…”
No matter how much I tried to wipe it off with a handkerchief, the wounds were so numerous that they were quickly stained with blood.
No matter how much the red-stained handkerchief wiped Junon’s body, it only smudged.
Even Charlotte, who had never seen a person die, knew that his life would be in danger if left alone.
“Stop… Stop flowing…”
From noble mtl dot com
So that this bloodied man’s wounds do not open any more.
To stop the blood flowing from his wounds.
So that the warm warmth of the man who saved her would not become cold due to the flowing blood.
“Help me…”
I was hoping someone would help me.
And soon, her wish will come true.
“This way from here!!”
“That’s it! He ran rampant and wasn’t kidding… Huh?”
As Noel and John came to visit just in time.
“I beg you… Please save this man…”
Junon, whose body is bleeding from large and small wounds all over his body, makes it difficult to see the difference in color of his flesh, and Charlotte, who is covered in blood and tears like chicken droppings, earnestly begs to save him.
The joint practice culminates with the two being treated and rescued by members of a party that is just beginning to form.
There were no deaths.
After 5 minutes, the screams died down everywhere, and although there were quite a few injured people, none of them were seriously injured to the point of life or death.
Except for one person.
