36 – The Unexpected Things
In the past, I would have devoted myself to training like crazy as soon as my physical condition returned to normal.
The time to eat, the time to sleep, he must have sweated while saving everything.
That hasn’t changed even now. I am still trying to grit my teeth.
However, in the meantime, a small change occurred.
“….”
After a brief glance at her mirror, Enlil nodded her head as if that was enough. She
She then she put on her hood and left her room she passed the front door of the academy, she headed beyond it.
Until now, the warrior academy and the tower were her life radius.
She used to go out very occasionally, but that was to meet influential people in the empire.
Or all the while going to see a skilled blacksmith to repair her own sword.
But not anymore. Starting with her unexpected outing not long ago, Enlil changed. She
She never neglects to train, but in the meantime she added something new.
“Breaks are important. It’s not about playing or relaxing. This is a kind of training.”
“What kind of training exactly? Well. Let’s say it’s to create a reason to live.”
“Resentment can be a weakness, but at the same time it can be a powerful motivator.”
Under the warm sun, on a field where a gentle breeze blows.
These were the words that Leon, who was sitting by her side protecting her, seemed to pass by.
To be precise, it was an action to make Enlil’s mana more dense and stable.
But it’s because the sense of security you get unconsciously is more effective than conscious.
Rion thoroughly hid the reason and instead came up with another reason.
As a result, Enlil was faithfully following Leon’s words.
‘Originally, I wanted to rest with Instructor Leone….’
Rion is currently absent for some reason. She
She said she would come back in half a day and was the one who emptied her academy.
Enlil, forced to spend time alone, fell into a moment of trouble.
He came out of the academy, a space that was once full of training, but now he has to go.
It’s not because I don’t know geography or anything like that.
Just really, he couldn’t quite figure out where to go.
To leave the academy and go somewhere else, to do something else instead of training.
If it had been Enlil up until now, it was something he could not have imagined, so it was natural.
‘Once… Shall we take a walk?’
It’s not about running through the training ground until your breath is right below your chin.
It’s not like practicing combat breathing while swinging a sword and adjusting your mana.
I just blankly admire the surrounding scenery and take steps while soaked in thoughts.
It was a very simple act that was nothing to others, but not to Enlil.
A small change like this, a very obvious action, came very big.
Once again, I could understand why Leon had told me to rest.
“Are you going to the city ahead? Shall I give you a ride?”
In the meantime, I met a kind-hearted coachman and got a wagon to ride. He
He said he could give you a ride, since he had plenty of seats and was on his way there.
At Enlil’s greeting of thanks, the coachman smiled brightly, saying that it was nothing special.
A small favor, but a big heart that wants nothing.
It may seem insignificant, but that is the very source that sustains this world.
The light of the world that all the warriors who fell from the tower must have tried to protect.
‘… Okay. No matter what happens, I must defeat the owner of the tower.’
Disgrace is fleeting. Short. It won’t last long.
But people’s pain is eternal. No, maybe it gets worse.
Hasn’t it been so hard to break that link?
Then let’s be patient a little longer. Be patient and let the arrogant being know.
What will strangle you, what will pierce your heart, is not my sword or mana.
Your arrogance for not killing me in the end. Or the limit that couldn’t be killed.
“Whoa! We’ll drop you off here. Oh my. Case has been. It’s not like I was trying to get something like this. hahahaha!”
The coachman who dropped Enlil off went to the market in the city.
Enlil, who gazed blankly at it, moved slowly.
The inside of the city is much more lively than it looks from the outside.
There are still monsters that harm people all over the world.
Still, the tower stands firm, constantly spewing out its monsters.
From noble mtl dot com
People live day to day without despair or fear.
People who fiercely see the world in a different way from themselves.
Looking at the scene, Enlil smiled lightly on his lips.
‘I should have seen this scenery before.’
Before he entered the warrior academy, he had long forgotten himself.
No, to be honest, even my memory is hazy.
I have no memory before the age of 12. It all started when he was saved by a village vigilante.
He said that he had finally rescued himself from being dragged by demons.
His family, probably lost their lives. The village nearby has disappeared.
After living in the village, I was chosen by the Holy Relic and headed to the Hero Academy.
Enlil did his best to prevent further tragedies from happening.
Then suddenly, without knowing why, I secretly entered the tower.
After that, as you well know, you are forcibly brought back to life by the owner of the tower.
Anyway during that time Enlil did not look around.
No, you’d be right to say he couldn’t. Even that time was wasted.
It has been such a long time since I have seen the world as ordinary as it is now.
‘The reason for living. A reason to have regrets.’
Walking down the street, I keep thinking of the words Leon said.
There was nothing wrong with what he said. They were all words to guide the immature self.
He probably wouldn’t have dreamed of growing up like he is now if he hadn’t met that person.
Maybe all of this was a bond bestowed by the gods, Enlil thought.
“… Uh?”
Then Enlil found someone and went to the side with a crush.
“Instructor Leone?”
“Uh.”
I didn’t see it wrong. The person he saw was obviously Leon.
“Enlil. What are you doing here?”
It looks like he’s a bit taken aback, perhaps surprised to see himself.
Unknowingly laughing at that appearance, Enlil shrugged his shoulders once.
“As the instructor said. Rest is important. It’s part of training.”
“I did. However.”
“Because it’s stuffy just being in my room. I want to go somewhere like last time. But the instructor is not there. So I thought about where to go, and I just ended up here.”
I really didn’t think about it, I just went wherever my steps took me.
It was very strange and enjoyable to meet Leone right there.
Yes. After all, it is clear that the relationship with this person was given by God.
Enlil smiled even thicker and quietly clung to Leon’s side.
*
‘No, why is this guy jumping out of here all of a sudden?’
I’m not joking, I was really surprised. The moment we met, I almost screamed ‘billion’.
I never thought Enlil would come to this city. She told me to rest, but I never thought I would listen to you like this!
But again, I never thought he would face himself there like this!
She said there was something she might find herself doing. She deliberately even mentioned half a day as an hour.
It was a measure in case Enlil would follow him, just in case.
The reason why Leon was so surprised, the reason why she dropped Enlil and came to the city.
‘Why is this wound not healing so well?’
A sword wound on the arm from the battle with Enlil this time. It’s just a very shallow wound.
However, the recovery is slow for some reason. Too slow too slow
I’ve never had anything like this before. In the first place, he had never even been attacked by Enlil.
Even if it is injured, it will be healed in an instant with the power of the main body.
Without having to go far, the wounds inflicted by Seria’s sword had long since disappeared.
But somehow, this wound was nothing, even though it was an extremely light injury.
Even using the body’s power, the speed of recovery was too slow.
Sacred power can’t even be reached in the first place, and magic treatment doesn’t work.
It’s a big deal if you know that Enlil has injured you.
Wouldn’t it be strange to see similar scars in the same area by chance?
It bothered me so much that I ended up going all the way to the city in search of healing items.
What kind of god’s trick is this? I had to face Enlil there.
“Huh. Joy.”
In the meantime, Enlil is even humming his song about what else is so good.
This is a stark contrast to Leon, who is groaning in case his injury is discovered.
I wonder if Leone is very wary, thinking, ‘I know this, but I’m not doing it on purpose, right?’.
“I think Instructor Leone is right.”
The level of suspicion increases even more when he says that out of the blue.
Rion tensed his nerves at Enlil’s next words.
“Rest is part of training. What did you mean, I think I understand now.”
“… Ah.”
“I was missing the most important thing, but it feels like I got it back.”
“Is that so? I’m glad.”
Yes, I’m really glad. I thought you noticed again.
Thinking, Leon looked at Enlil for a moment and held out his hand.
“Let’s look around a bit more. Together.”
Now that this is the case, let’s create a synergistic effect between mana and imagery by giving a sense of stability!
It was Leon who proposed to accompany them for the purpose of extremely efficiency.
“… Yes. Great.”
We’ll have to see if Enlil also joined his hand for that reason.
