119. Dragon Forest (5)
When I opened the door to the drawing room, Deyan was standing there.
“Sit down. Everyone else is out.”
Litt, the butler, and other people left and the door closed.
“I… … Obviously, I would have told ‘everyone’ to leave.”
Then, the escorts who were hiding came out and prostrated themselves.
“I’m sorry, Professor. However… … .”
“Don’t make me say it three times.”
“ね… … .”
They disappeared again and disappeared from this space.
Now, only me and Deyan were left in the drawing room.
“Are you still standing? Please sit down.”
“professor.”
Now, even in this place where everyone has disappeared, his identity cannot be forgotten.
The true lord of Aerokk.
A position that is no different from my master.
“You are John. That’s not right, Professor.”
“You need to be more aware of your position.”
Instead of answering, Deyan knelt down.
“I think you’re thinking too lightly of the value of that knee.”
“I know. I know all too well that the value of my knee has changed from what it was before.”
“Then get up.”
But instead of standing up, Deyan opened his mouth.
“I heard that you submitted your resignation letter to Grasco.”
Dejan’s resignation is Romero’s arbitrary decision.
I must have been anxious Even though it is in the form of practice, students are being put into actual battles.
It wouldn’t matter if they were others, but among those students, there was Dejan, who Romero worked hard to protect.
For that reason, Grascoe no longer sent a letter of edict demanding that students participate in the war.
“It was not my will.”
“… … .”
“… … Please cancel the withdrawal process.”
“It is not my authority.”
Deyan bit his lip and looked at me.
At first glance, there was despair in it.
“I cannot undo anything that has not been processed.”
“Well, then… … .”
I knew it before I heard the news of Romero’s resignation.
The day the resignation letter was submitted, I got a call from Ronald.
And the resignation letter was ignored.
“Resignation will not be accepted.”
“professor!”
He called me in a brighter voice.
“However, from this moment on, I will treat you not as the lord of Aerokk, but as my disciple and student.”
“This is what I was hoping for! I still want to grow as a disciple of the professor, a challenger who surpasses the professor!”
“All right. then… … .”
He got up and opened his mouth.
“I will have to make up for the two months I lost.”
While I was in the Dragon Forest, two months had passed.
In the meantime, other people were growing up that much, but it wasn’t Deyan.
you have to fill that void.
“Follow me.”
Right Now.

Elysee, who escaped from purgatory, carefully selected the base.
The reason for all the failures so far was- Lucas.
Including the Eastern Front, Levi, Baltan, and Orphega.
Wasn’t everyone blocked from the start by Lucas?
is that only
Wasn’t the abalone of Ermel, which was led by the main man, a failure because he lost his final exams in Grasco, where Lucas was at all?
All because of Lucas, Lucas.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to avoid Lucas?
At this point, the area most likely to have nothing to do with Lucas.
‘of course… … Ermel.’
A neighboring country of Aerokk, the base of Lucas.
And the place where Lucas ‘visited once’.
Far is not a good thing.
In the end, Grasco must be defeated, and Aerokk must be captured, so that the first step in the invasion of the human world can be properly established.
As a base, there is no other suitable place than Ermel.
The fact that the pharmacist had poisoned Ermel was a very certain fact.
There is no place more chaotic than Ermel.
In that gap, there was clearly room for digging.
Elysee, like that, settled in Ermel.
Of course, without losing prudence.
In Ermel, the most remote area from Aeroque.
maikao.
A way to fully absorb the spirit, the biggest energy source of the dreamer.
Elysee built a entertainment district there.

I took Deyan and headed to the gym.
Torres was still training there.
“The school, the professor, and… … .”
“There is no need to say goodbye.”
“Why is the author here… … .”
Actually, the relationship between the two is not that good.
It is safe to say that Dejan feels one-sided hostility towards Torres.
Even so, it’s because of the two people’s origins.
Ermel’s influential noble family, Torres related to the Athlon family.
The feelings of the people between the two countries that were once at war are not so pleasant.
In particular, Deyan was in a position to learn that history to pierce his bones.
However, Torres has no feelings because he is loyal to Jesse, not Ermel, has not received proper historical education, and does not know if Dejan is from Aeroque.
“Both of them came to me. I did not throw you two away.”
The purpose of the two men was clearly articulated in these short words.
Torres wanted to be Jesse’s perfect wall, and Dejan wanted to jump over me.
Two different reasons. But one conclusion. to pursue strength.
“There is less than a week left until the start of the class. I cannot devote all of my time to just the two of you.”
Because these two aren’t the only ones I have to grow.
However, with Deyan’s visit, a solution was found to some extent.
A form of ‘Dalian’ that makes up most of my lectures.
“You will face each other.”
When there was only Torres, I had to deal with Torres completely.
Actually, the difference between Torres and me is not that big.
However, the difference between me and him that Torres perceives, plus the weakness of showing weakness in battles against humans, combined, made it difficult to achieve proper efficiency.
But with Deyan, it’s different.
In reality, Dejan’s level would be far beyond Torres, but Torres’ perception was different.
The difference will be the trigger for Torres’ talent to blossom.
The most important thing is to draw out the power of the two people properly.
“Be sincere as if you were going to kill me.”
In my declaration, the two of them clasped their respective weapons as tightly as they could.

With a new mark engraved on Deyan, Durandal was summoned to open the entrance to the Dragon Forest.
However, the time axis of this genus is entangled in an unpredictable form.
It takes quite a while before the start of the course to enter directly.
However, it is also not comfortable to send someone else.
There are just the right people.
“Sylphy, with your feet.”
Another performance from Münes.
These are probably the few living things that can be free in the flow of that magic.
These spirits are beings made up of their own attributes—that is, natural phenomena.
I explained to them what to bring in there.
Fortunately, their intelligence was understood enough to touch humans, and they entered the rift.
after some time
Sylphy and Balo returned with one beautiful set of the ingredients I wanted.
There were fruits, and there were roots that looked like herbs.
Seen through the eyes of God, these things were definitely overflowing with magical powers.
However, that magic power was gradually scattered in the air.
I hurriedly grabbed it and headed to the lab and handed it to Victor, who was in the midst of research.
“Oh, no… … Where are all these… … .”
His face lit up with astonishment.
“There is no time to be surprised. The magical power they have is gradually oxidizing.”
“Oh, yes. Please.”
Victor took the materials from me and started researching again.
“Oh, yes. If this… … .”

The match between the two had the same effect as Lucas had envisioned.
Torres’s perception of Deyan’s ability is at a level that matches the level of academy undergraduates.
It was at the level that I adjusted so that it did not stick out too much to naturally melt into the glass.
But now he has cast off the prohibition himself.
Truly, the skills of an escort knight protecting the king of a country from close range were unfolding.
But the surprise was Torres.
It was growing at an incredible rate.
It could be said that the growth during that time was also explosive, but it was because of the quality of the teaching. As we continued to fight at a level that matched our potential, the rate of incorporation increased dramatically.
“It’s all reached.”
“… … .”
The trend of Dalian, where Deyan was victorious, gradually balanced that balance.
It didn’t happen that Torres suddenly jumped over Deyan, but it also didn’t happen terribly.
‘This guy… … what?’
Although not showing off, Deyan was in a state of great surprise inside.
Even during the semester, I definitely had a match with Deyan.
But it was not at this level.
‘What the hell kind of magic did you use?’
If so, there is only one reason I can think of.
‘professor… … .’
Lucas.
His teaching made Torres, who was only a novice, grow to this extent.
Gradually, I became greedy.
Now that Torres has grown so much, I wonder if he can grow as well.
Wouldn’t it be possible to make even more leaps and bounds if we monopolize those teachings?
Torres was equally astonished.
Deyan is obviously an undergraduate at the same academy as himself.
However, there was a larger gap than expected.
When I thought I had caught up, I was one step further away.
After the match, it was clear that the feedback he received from Lucas was making him grow.
The two kept each other in check and grew each other.
“Today will be the last match.”
Now, next week is the opening.
Today is the last time Lucas spends time with the two of them.
“I would like to reveal to you some of the classes in the second semester in particular. Take it.”
Lucas gave each of them a white pill.
“I will only give you one piece of advice. ‘Don’t get drunk.’”
They swallowed the pill once, not understanding what Lucas was saying.
‘Something… … Has it changed?’
Swallowing my doubts, I started the final battle.
It was the same as usual.
Dejan overwhelms Torres, and Torres barely blocks it, and occasionally delivers a meaningful blow.
However, as the battle progressed, something changed little by little.
that the drug started to take effect.
Change came first to Deyan.
The speed of the sword Deyan wields gradually increases.
At the tip of a knife, care is lost.
“Uh, uh… … .”
It was the older brother who captured the true ‘murder intent’ beyond Torres’ growth.
A side of the real battle that Torres had never experienced before.
An uncontrolled murderous intent penetrates his skin.
‘ね!’
Ting-!
I barely moved my body to block it.
However, this was not the end of Deyan’s ‘brother’.
He accelerates further and drives Torres.
At the same time- Deyan also began to have a medicinal effect.
That’s weird.
Deyan’s ‘brother’ clearly overwhelms Torres’s, but it felt somewhat lax.
Torres’ body reacted.
remembered at the same time.
He had seen a ‘brother’ that was simpler than Deyan’s, but far more profound.
Practice with Lucas.
At that time, what was engraved on his body was about to wake up with the stimulation and medicinal effect of Deyan.
Torres clearly captured Dejan’s older brother in his eyes.
see.
It was speed, sharpness, and splendor that I had never felt before, but compared to Lucas’ ‘older brother’, it felt crude.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that Torres can be easily overthrown.
only once.
Torres was moving instinctively and dodging, from the relentless onslaught to a trance. His talent was compared to that of Lucas in the ‘brother’ pouring in front of his eyes, and he was able to capture a fleeting gap in Deyan’s movements.
self-confidence rises
Deyan is different from Lucas.
The level and the sense of presence it exudes are different.
This difference and the confidence due to the medicinal effect became the driving force for Torres to move his body.
He didn’t even think that he could reach a distant being like Lucas, but Deyan had a different perception that he might be able to.
The difference was the factor that removed the hesitation from Torres’s sword-
Shoo!
Torres’s sword, which had no hesitation, rushed right into Deyan’s gap.
The difference in skill between Deyan and Torres is stark, but for just one moment, Torres overpowered Deyan for this attack.
And Torres’ strike, which had no hesitation, was enough to threaten Deyan.
Deyan did not stand still.
He also digs into Torres’ gap precisely and rushes in.
If it goes like this, it is clear that both of them will be in danger.
They were heading towards destruction.
The problem is that both of them are in a trance.
The truth is that there is nothing in his head other than swinging his sword.
“Twitter.”
At that moment, with the sound of their tongues being clicked from somewhere, their movements stopped.
As if something huge was holding the two of them tightly.
A huge force that could not be resisted blocked their movement.
