291 – Hurricane (1)
“Eungi?”
At Sarah’s words, the other practitioners of light also looked at Theo.
Billy said.
“Oh, the sword really shines like silver.”
Mike added.
“Wow, the sword and hair color match… I should use it next time too. “It’s so cool.”
Of course, there seemed to be no tension of battle at all.
Theo’s companions were also dumbfounded and just looked at each other’s faces.
After some time, Sarah, who came to her senses, raised her right hand.
“······Everyone stops fighting. Additionally, any hostile actions against Theo Lin Walderk are prohibited from now on.”
Other practitioners of light expressed doubts.
“Hmm? Sarah, what’s wrong with you? “You can’t believe you’re reversing an order once given.”
“Really? “Suddenly he looked at Theo and said ‘Eung-gi-it~’ and the person changed after that.”
Sarah closed her eyes and opened them. Her eyes were so clear that they could not be seen by anyone who had drunk too much champagne.
Her intoxicated expression was nowhere to be seen.
“Anyway, it’s a halt. “Put out all your weapons.”
Billy asked, fiddling with the spear in his hand.
“I already took out my weapon. Shouldn’t I cut something? My [Saint Spear] Is crying! “It’s been rotting for over a week already.”
“An attack on Theo Lin Walderk will be considered an attack on me, so take care of it.”
“Ahh… Tsk. “It’s a shame.”
Billy swung the heavy spear using only his wrist strength and then put it back.
He was a man who put his own desires first, but he did not have the confidence to win a sincere fight with Sarah.
As Billy holstered his weapon, the other Light Acolytes followed suit.
After Theo took off the flag on his sword, he spoke to Sarah.
“Just a little while ago, it seemed like he wanted to see blood. “What did you get in the wind?”
“······I remembered a prophecy I heard before.”
“Prophecy?”
“I’ll talk to you separately.”
Tap, step, step.
Sarah walked towards Theo.
Theo’s companions were all on guard, but Sarah’s steps were unstoppable.
Pop.
Sarah stood in front of Theo. Theo did not take any alert stance.
Sarah lowered her head.
“I’m really sorry for doubting you.”
Theo nodded his head calmly.
“I accept the apology. By the way, what does the prophecy mean?”
“Can you lend me your ears for a moment?”
Theo put his ear to Sarah’s mouth.
Billy and Mike saw that and booed.
“Wow~ Sara, you scumbag~ You’re trying to tell Theo, who I saw for the first time today, something that’s been kept a secret from us who have shared our ups and downs for many years!”
“It was true that a woman’s life ends once she gets married!”
Sarah said, raising her middle finger at them.
“f*ck the f*ck out. “You guys are just talking here and there for a day or two?”
Billy responded.
“When are we? “I don’t remember.”
“Billy, your memory is limited to one week. “Don’t you remember during the last mission, when you plucked the head of the cult leader and screamed, ‘I am Billy, the Acolyte of Light!’
“It’s a type of performance. And all the living things nearby were killed.”
“There may be eavesdropping/surveillance magic cast nearby. How gloomy these pagans are. I told you to always be on your guard outside of here and headquarters, right? “Rob was traced back and died too.”
When Sarah mentioned the death of the former team leader, Billy’s mouth fell silent.
Sarah put her mouth to Theo’s ear and whispered.
“You are the warrior who will save us. “I was always looking for you.”
“······Is that the end?”
“Yes.”
The Pope’s prophecy was, ‘A warrior with the energy of silver, shining softly like a crescent moon, will save the continent,’ but Sarah interpreted it as she pleased.
She was also a practitioner of light who prioritized her own desires over her cause. What she wanted most was for her followers of light to escape from the dark grasp of the church leaders.
Theo nodded his head.
“I understand.”
Theo spoke to Sarah, who looked up at him with her bright eyes.
“Where should I eat? “I came a long way, but I couldn’t eat and I’m hungry because I had to face you all.”
“I’m sorry. I’ll show you where to eat, so follow me. “I didn’t eat dinner either, so I’m hungry.”
Sarah walked to the door.
Theo and Adrien followed her.
Billy asked Sarah.
“Where are you going, Sara? “Adrienne knows the location of the dining area well.”
“I’m hungry so I’ll eat too.”
“Huh? “Whenever we tried to tell you that if you only drank without eating, you’d feel weak, you said that just drinking would fill your stomach, right?”
Sarah glanced briefly at the silver bottles of champagne lying on her floor.
‘Goodbye, Tre. Rest in peace. There was a time when I thought you would be my savior…’
Tre, who died, also had silver hair like Theo.
Sara muttered.
“······Not anymore.”
Billy tilted her head.
“Huh? I can not hear well.”
Instead of answering, Sarah looked at Theo’s face for a moment.
Kkiik─
Sarah smiled brightly and opened the door.
* * *
Theo and his group, Adrien, and Sarah returned to headquarters after eating.
They sat down in the lobby on the first floor of the headquarters to have a brief strategy meeting.
Sarah was rubbing her stomach with a stern expression.
Crooked Mike asked.
“What is it, Sarah? “Does your stomach hurt?”
“No. “I ate too much.”
Mike opened his eyes wide.
“Huh? Sarah, what’s wrong with you? “I told you that food is enough to sustain life.”
“I changed my mind. “To strengthen your body’s functions, you must consume a lot of high-quality nutrients.”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Mike looked at Sarah with an expression of incomprehension.
Sarah took a long, deep breath.
‘Ugh, it’s a boat. ‘I guess I ate too much.’
Sara’s usual eating amount is unusually small among women.
But today she ate as much as an adult man.
It was because of Theo. During the meal, he gave Sarah various advice.
─Sarah, you have amazing physical strength. It is one of the best on the entire continent. Even though your main weapon is a divine spell, it is a body too good to be wasted for that reason. He also has excellent swordsmanship sense.
─The meals here are comparable to the cafeteria at the College of Heroes, and the nutritional balance is excellent. Build your body by eating as much as possible. It will probably be of great help in the near future.
So Sarah ate twice as much as she normally ate.
Because she had been drinking alcohol instead of meals for a long time, the size of her stomach had shrunk, so it felt like it was more than twice its size.
‘Ugh… I feel full.’
After barely holding back the burp that was about to burst out, Sarah opened her mouth.
“······As you all know, our current mission is to investigate the Great Evil Shrine located in the northern magic city. “Departure is in the morning two days later, and it takes almost two days to get there, so there is plenty of time to plan a specific strategy.”
Brittany raised her hand. That’s why Sarah was asked to raise her hand before asking a question during a strategy meeting.
This is a special measure taken by Sarah because the practitioners of Light, except Sarah and Adrienne, were always distracted like patients with severe ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Sarah said.

“Britney, ask a question.”
“You said you had enough time, right? Then, can’t the plan be planned on the carriage heading to the northern magic city? “I couldn’t even practice today.”
“If you listen closely to what I say, you will understand why.”
“Okay~”
Britney closed her mouth with a natural expression.
Sarah opened her mouth again.
“We know each other’s abilities well, but Theo and his group that joined this time are not. I only know roughly from the previous battle, but I don’t know the details. So, I hope we have time to show off each other’s abilities.”
Billy and Mike shouted excitedly.
“Oh, good! “It’s not fun to just show off your abilities, so should we spar?”
“That’s right! “In the first place, true ability comes from actual combat situations!”
They laughed wildly and looked at P.L. And Jang Woo-hee.
“Let’s see the end of the game we couldn’t finish earlier!”
“Kiyooooot~!”
P.L. And Jang Woo-hee looked at Theo at the same time. Eyes that seem to be asking, ‘What should I do?’
Theo got up from his seat and stood in front of the two women.
“There is no need for that. Excluding Jang Woo-hee’s espionage ability, what we saw earlier is correct. Their true abilities require special conditions to be used. “It cannot be used in the current situation.”
P.L. And Jang Woo-hee nodded.
Special effects [Wolsal] Of P.I.E.L.’S blood-human ability [Gainbusa] And Jang Woo-hee’s artifact [Wolhwa]. Both cannot be used normally.
Theo continued.
“The biggest variable is Sarah, your sacred spell…”
Sarah’s stern expression relaxed. The corners of her mouth opened without even realizing it.
“······Siena’s elemental magic.”
Sienna, feeling Theo’s gaze, got up from her seat and jumped up.
“hehehe, Theo. “Have you finally recognized me?”
“······I always looked into it. Anyway, Sienna. “Can you show me the power of the spirit now?”
“Umm, of course. “You can call me right now.”
“Let me see. “The power of a superior wind spirit.”
“hehehe, I understand.”
Sienna muttered something into the air.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Sienna. It is a rare opportunity to see the rare power of an elementalist in person.
Eventually, Sienna spoke energetically.
“Ta-da~ Shuksyuk is right here! “It appeared.”
“······?”
Others had question marks in their eyes.
In particular, Adrienne and Britney actively expressed their doubts.
“No, where is the spirit? “If it’s at the advanced level, you can’t even see it with your own eyes, right?”
“Oh my, that’s right. “It’s nowhere near.”
Sienna pointed her finger upward.
“It’s on top. “Shoosh, now is the time!”
As she spoke, a storm raged inside the headquarters.
Kwagwang, kwagwang, kwagwagwang!
Furniture such as bookshelves and tables flew through the air and hit the walls and floor.
The window broke with a crackling sound.
To avoid being swept away by the storm, people held on by pressing their bodies flat against the ground.
“This… This!”
“aaah~ My clothes are torn~”
After a while, the storm stopped.
Inside the headquarters, which was a mess, Adrienne and Brittany spoke.
“It’s really solid. Well, it’s worth holding on to.”
“Oh my, I feel bad. I thought that too. There’s nothing special about it, right? In the end, even the storm couldn’t tear my clothes!”
The clothes they were wearing were torn here and there, but only a few bare skin and underwear were visible.
Sienna said with a smile.
“The saying goes that a storm rages twice. “Haven’t you heard of it?”
As soon as she finished speaking,
Whiooooo──!
A storm raged inside the headquarters again.
it’s a show of mess
