29 – Full moon again
Time passed and the full moon approached again. The time has come for Enlil to head to her tower.
This is the 10th challenge. As a result, it attracted more public attention.
“I believe that this time the world will greet a calm morning.”
“We can do it. Have faith, Enlil. You are our warrior.”
“Lord Enlil! Please give the owner of the tower a righteous end!!”
The day before heading to the Tower, more people came to Enlil than before.
On the day of the campaign, they rushed to the tower at dawn, so they flocked today.
Thanks to this, Enlil had to greet them with the whole most important eve empty.
“Thank you, everyone. This time, I will make sure to live up to your expectations.”
Is it because Enlil smiled so brightly and accepted it?
If anyone sees it, they will know that they are saying goodbye to those who are going to take an exam.
In reality, they are going to a place from which they cannot return alive.
“Ugh.”
Leon, watching the scene from a distance, sighed and shook his head.
Even though that’s what a hero should endure.
Those people don’t have any malice and all they do is see you off.
From his point of view, everything was full of things he absolutely did not like.
A world where it is natural for the strong few to sacrifice for the weak.
Some might say it’s desirable, but at least it wasn’t for Leon.
“Instructor doesn’t seem to like that look very much.”
“If that looks good, they must have never fought a demon before.”
“There might be some people who didn’t fight, but wouldn’t there be people who couldn’t fight? The warriors, including myself, are destined to fight on their behalf.”
What is fate? How many lives have been shattered in 100 years?
Leone shook his head at the words of Seria, who was next to him.
I want to finish it quickly. That’s it. I’m tired of living here like this.
After entering there, I wonder what the hell this is doing.
How long will it be a world where it is natural for warriors to sacrifice, Won.
“Come to think of it, I heard the story. I heard that Sister Enlil took a vacation according to the day she goes to the tower tomorrow.”
“Why are you curious about other people’s vacations? Are you doing surveillance? Do you still sense something strange about me?”
An experience that happened a while ago, a knife in the throat. Once passed, but never pleasant.
When I pointed out that part subtly, Seria waved her hands saying that it was absolutely not.
“No way. I want to learn even a little more from the instructor before entering the tower, but it is regrettable that it is impossible.”
“I’m sorry to say this, but at the current level, it won’t get better with a few more days.”
It was a blow without mercy based on facts.
Thanks to that, Seria pouted her lips and grumbled, ‘You don’t have to say it directly.’
But what can I do? That’s true. It’s a strange law to teach something that shouldn’t be taught for more than a month and then teach it for two more days.
“Instructor.”
Seria, who had been pondering something for a while, opened her mouth again.
“Are you coming back?”
“… What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m just asking. Will you come back?”
At that question, Leon immediately thought that this woman had noticed something.
At this point in time, out of the blue, you’re asking if you’re coming back.
Not yet, but someday when Enlil reached his peak.
So, if I meet my end as the owner of the tower, then I will not be here.
“Stop saying weird things. And I think the one who should come back is that one rather than me.”
“Is that so? Well, if you look at it this way, the odds of me dying are overwhelmingly high.”
Seria, who had been smiling lightly, let out her sigh.
Then she said that she would go back and train more.
‘It’s good to know. It’s uncomfortable.’
From far away, Enlil is approaching this way. When this happens, he will definitely come face to face with her.
In fact, since that incident, Seria has intentionally avoided Enlil.
Since she put the sword to the neck of the person with goodwill, did she judge that the hostility was still great?
Even though Enlil fell for Leon’s persuasion and doesn’t care anymore.
“….”
Leone looked at Seria’s back as she was disappearing, and she let out a drool.
Enlil, don’t worry too much anymore. She will come up to the top floor this time too.
In addition to her originally excellent skills, her mana practice technique has firmly established herself.
In less than three months, it can be said that it is a tremendous growth.
On the contrary, Seria, who can be said to be the second group, is still uneasy.
Her skill is certain. Her experience is overflowing. But that was the case with the other warriors as well.
Even those warriors entered the tower, unable to set foot on the top floor and became infamous guests.
It is a completely different world outside and inside the tower. The levels of the magicians are different.
It is largely because he directly accepted the energy emitted by the owner of the tower.
Thanks to that, those who had passed as a hero outside were all ground up when they came in.
‘Is Seria different? I wish she was different. She should be different.’
Still, she’s a scammer, so she’ll look something different.
Since it has overwhelming staying power, it will reach the top floor in a different form from Enlil.
As of now, all Leon could do was to believe that way.
“Instructor.”
“….”
“Instructor Leone?”
“Ah. Sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while.”
Enlil, who had been here before, cautiously approaches Leon.
“What are you doing?”
“Work? Of course there is. You’re going to the tower again tomorrow.”
“Eh? Ahhh….”
I now have more security than anxiety, but I still don’t know how to deal with people.
A momentary mistake could cause Enlil to die before the top floor unlike before.
If that happens, there is no more hope. It’s just that we all perish together.
Because of that, from the point of view of Leone, it was impossible not to pay attention.
“This will be different this time! Really. Did I prepare a lot?”
Enlil, unable to erase the red energy from her face, hurriedly opens her mouth.
Looks like he wants to cool off the heat a little by continuing the conversation.
Fortunately, Leon seemed completely ignorant of Enlil’s intentions.
“Certainly, this time will be different than before. Maybe the tower will really collapse.”
“Yes. Okay. I will definitely bring down the tower.”
“That’s how it should be. But, what if you can’t? If you lose again.”
Without saying another word, he just looked at Enlil quietly. Seeing Leon’s gaze, Enlil reflexively mentioned the ‘fate of the warrior’.
But soon he shut up when he heard the sound of ‘Enlil’ from Leon.
“Don’t forget. It’s not the strong who wins, it’s the survivor who wins.”
“….”
“If you want to put a knife through that arrogant bastard’s heart, you’ll have to use that arrogance.”
You must burn the will to win more intensely than the duty or fate of a warrior.
At least this was a good fight. You can really rest now. I did everything I could. Not
Unlike before, become stronger even by begging for your life, so stab your heart.
Enlil never had it before. No, it was Leon who wanted to plant something that the warriors did not have.
And it seemed that Leon’s wishes were being eaten to some extent.
“… Yes. I will try.”
This is an answer that has never been answered before.
A change occurred in Enlil’s state of mind. Rather than a noble sacrifice, the desire for victory deepens.
And his feelings of wanting to survive are also vague, but clearly established.
“Good luck. Enlil. And make sure to feed the owner of the tower one shot. They said that the mana practice method that I had worked hard to teach was dismissed as nothing. As much as you earned it through hard work and hard work, you shouldn’t let go of that nonsense all the more.”
“Don’t worry. Even if you don’t say it, I will definitely do it.”
Yes, those eyes. That’s what I wanted.
Leone smiled inwardly and nodded his head.

“… Are you submitting a vacation again?”
Chief Instructor Edmund fiddles with his chin, looking very embarrassed.
Although he is Enlil’s exclusive instructor, he is also the drill instructor for the other cadets in a broader sense.
It’s good to teach Enlil with all your might, but it’s a position that other candidates should take care of.
But isn’t it a loss to them if they keep taking vacations like this every month?
“As far as I know, I heard that you can take a vacation every month. Wasn’t it?”
“Ummm… That’s right, but those who use it every month….”
It’s worth knowing. As an instructor at the Hero Academy, he must work without days off.
It was his duty, his destiny, his honor, and so on.
‘I don’t know if it’s a duty or fate, and I have no choice but to take a vacation.’
How embarrassing it would be if the owner of the tower had gone up to the top floor.
Then, if our Enlil burnout comes, are you guys going to take responsibility?
I can’t. Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to attach a reason that no one can refute.
“In my hometown, when a family member dies, a light ceremony is held every full moon for three years.”
“Yes? What… Uh. Ah. Ah.”
Chief Instructor Edmund, who became Tallulah in an instant, sighs.
Then he apologized, saying, ‘If there is such a reason, please tell me right from the beginning.’
“….”
Because I trusted you so easily, and I’m so sorry.
It was a moment when Leon, who lied, became even more uncomfortable.
