187 – Walking in Place (3)
Lesser nobles such as viscounts and barons obsessively narrow their strides because they lack dignity.
Most of the students belonging to the church are from commoners, but at Ellinia Academy there are also many students from nobles, so they are well aware of this fact.
But.
Theo walked with great strides.
However, in the eyes of the students belonging to the church, that gait was archaic compared to that of any noble.
In his gait, he was terribly self-righteous, as if he were a true aristocrat.
“············································································································································語
However, no one took issue with that fact.
Rather, just by walking silently, Theo seemed to show off his presence throughout the space.
As if he didn’t care about the eyes of those around him, he carefully scanned the students belonging to the denomination in front of the stage. It was the look of someone.
“·······.”
As if no one was looking for it, his eyebrows stood in the shape of an eighth.
He approached the student belonging to the church right in front of him and stood in front of him.
‘······The feeling of intimidation is amazing.’
She was a girl with colorful makeup on her face, who had been pushing and pulling another student from the Department of Bravery a while ago.
Theo looked at her nonchalantly.
“Where are the Alps?”
“・・・・・・That, I will.”
He acted as if he were his master. The female students accepted that attitude very naturally.
The schoolgirl quickly looked around her.
“Hey, where is he? Ha ha ha. Ande always in the corner.”
“I didn’t have to know.”
As if he didn’t like the female student’s answer, he raised one eyebrow and approached the person in charge at the end of the students belonging to the church.
“Please tell the Alps.”
He took a pouch out of his chest and handed it to the person in charge.
Golden coins were shining at the entrance of the pocket that was not fully locked.
‘This is not an amount that a normal student would be willing to give.’
The wide-eyed officer looked down at his pockets.
Judging by the weight, it seemed that even if all the donations received by the students of the denomination were combined, it would not be as good as Theo alone.
The person in charge looked at Theo with trembling eyes.
“Ah, I see. You’re right, Theo Lin Balderk from the Department of Bravery… Is that right? Do you have any messages you want to leave…”
“Please tell me to come to the training ground at the Department of Bravery at 5:00 PM on Friday. However, please add that it doesn’t matter at all if you don’t come out if you feel uncomfortable.”
“Ah, I see. Do you have any additional messages to convey…? Can I just pass it on like this?”
“No.”
Theo said that and immediately turned his back.
“Ha… That’s really out of shape. Stutter until the end.”
Looking at his back, the person in charge muttered.
* * *
I came out of the venue frowning.
This is because the current state of the Alps seemed more dangerous than expected.
In this work, after the event, she pouted in front of the stage, but she stood. But to say she avoided the seat.
The keyword that penetrates the Alps in this work is ‘self-esteem’.
However, there is a possibility that she is currently suffering from severe mental illness such as depression, rather than simply having low self-esteem.
There are many unnecessary details in this work.
Of course, mental disorders that appear are subdivided into depressive disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and anxiety disorders.
Whether in real life or in this work, patients suffering from severe mental illness often tend to attach great significance to each and every trivial action of others.
For example, a third party simply smiled brightly and greeted them, but the patients couldn’t get over it.
Patients seriously think about what the third party wants them to greet them with a smile, or even harbor hostility, considering it abominable.
So, after the ceremony, she only conveyed her simple message to her.
The future of this work has already changed so much that it is difficult to guess what state she is in.
She is someone who needs to be handled with care.
Rapid acceleration is prohibited.
As a result of watching [Night of Light], At this point, the miracle of Renimid, which the first year students belonging to [Church of Light] Can show to the maximum, was up to part 3.
But as soon as she regains her stability, she can unleash her third miracle.
I know how to get her back.
Simple. Until she can stand up, beside her and help her materially and mentally.
However, the method is easy, not the difficulty level.
Among them, the most problematic is time.
I have to give her all the time that is not enough for her training.
···Still, what can I do?
She is an irreplaceable person, a lottery ticket that has been confirmed.
Anyway, in a job where failure is not tolerated, there are many advantages to setting an intermediate goal in addition to the final goal.
The first interim goal is to make the Alps consider me trustworthy.

The next day, Thursday.
The morning of the fourth day of the Academy Festival was bright.
In front of a deserted sandwich food cart near the Faculty of Engineering, Roy sat at a table and ate a sandwich.
She hadn’t slept for four hours.
Dark circles were somehow covered with makeup, but her eyes were clear.
“Ha ha ha ha…”
It was because I wandered around until dawn to make up for the afternoon work time that I completely blew up yesterday.
Fortunately, there was a harvest.
Among them, the biggest gain was that Theo showed interest in a rookie student named Alps in [Night of Light].
But it made her head more confused.
Roy chewed heavily on her sandwich, frowning between her eyebrows.
“I really want to open my head to see what is going on in my head…”
Seria and Irene are both seniors in their grade. He is a talent that everyone can covet.
However, even Roy, who now knows more about the academy than most students, was a student who had never heard of Alps.
Turns out, his grades were at the bottom of the Knights Faculty, and his divine power wasn’t good either.
“Anyway… Today will be more comfortable than yesterday.”
During the Academy Festival, dozens of competitions are held every day, but today is an exception. Only the [Martial Arts Tournament] Will be held.
Among the three major competitions of the Ellinia Academy Festival, the martial arts competition boasts overwhelming popularity. Even students who enjoy the festival do not skip the martial arts competition even if they skip all other competitions.
“There is still quite a bit left to start.”
Roy raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The time is 9 am.
The martial arts competition starts at 1:00 PM.
Still, there is a lot of work to do.
We need to further investigate Alps, a person related to Theo. Where is he now My head is already pounding.
“Whew…”
From noble mtl dot com
Roy sighed and stood up.
‘First, let’s go to the nearest [Church of Light].’
She tossed the finished sandwich shells in the trash and trudged away.

At the same time, inside the training ground of the College of Bravery.
Theo and Neike are wielding long weapons.
I must have swung it for about 30 minutes.
Theo looked at Neike, wiping the sweat with her handkerchief.
Boo-woong, Boo-woong—
Neike skillfully wielded her training spear in her hand, with her eyes closed. She had her eyes closed, but his spear was unstoppable and sharp. He was not much different from when he opened his eyes.
Theo looked at him and smiled.
‘It’s a talent that doesn’t stop praying anymore.’
I heard the reason why Neike trains with his eyes closed before he started training.
─I trained until midnight yesterday, but when I closed my eyes, I could feel my breathing more clearly!
It looked plausible, so Theo secretly tried it.
But let alone breathing, even the swordsmanship he was using was unaccustomed to it, so he struggled.
······Anyway, it was mentally painful, but if you train with Neike, the income will be good.
Just by watching Neike’s spearmanship with breathing applied yesterday, he got a new attribute.
His spearmanship now was different from yesterday. It feels like the invisible characteristic experience is accumulating.
“After.”
Theo handed another handkerchief to Neike, who drew the spear with a short exhalation.
Neike smiled and accepted his handkerchief.
“Ah. Thanks, Theo.”
“Goodbye.”
“Still, thank you. Theo, you’re kinder than you look. But it would be nice if the other friends also trained together, but it’s a pity that it’s just the two of us.”
“Shouldn’t you have brought it? Isilder, don’t you share the same dormitory as Aisha?”
“Ha ha ha. They both seemed busy from morning. Is Shilder still running a youth business today? I dressed up and went out, and Eisha went to practice for tomorrow’s performance.”
“I see.”
Theo nodded his head nonchalantly.
Come to think of it, Eisha’s special performance is tomorrow.
I must have owed something, I must go to cheer.
Then, Neike said.
“Theo. Are you participating in a martial arts competition today?”
