320 – Moonlight (4)
Eo looked up at Isabella, and she answered without hesitation.
“Two elf sisters. Purple long-haired sister. “Sister with short red hair.”
As soon as Isabella heard, she recognized that the four people were Sienna, Fiat, Irene, and Piell.
Isabella looked at Eo and asked back.
“So there are four of you?”
“Yes.”
Isabella was dumbfounded by that firm answer.
‘I’m only in 5th place…?’
No. I was moved to tears.
Isabella seemed to have forgotten that she had to leave quickly, and she spoke to Eo.
“······It’s really fun. “Ai, by what criteria did you select that ranking?”
“I just said it. “My sister is ranked 5th because she doesn’t use a sword.”
After answering, Eo looked at Theo.
“Oppa Theo. She doesn’t even remember what she just heard. “I think it’s a little lacking.”
“What, what…!”
Isabella’s eyes narrowed. In her 17 years of life, this was the first time she had ever been called stupid.

Even before she became the first saint, she had only been told that she was smart, but she had never once been told that she was stupid.
‘Hey, that spoiled little boy…!’
Isabella clasped her hands tightly. Her fists were shaking.
Anyway, Theo said it to Eo casually.
“It is not good to say something like that out loud in front of the person involved.”
“Oh, I remember. “Esha told me to keep her negative comments to myself.”
“You were taught well. “What did you say is the reason?”
“You didn’t tell me the reason. “Just do it.”
“Then I will tell you. The reason you should not gossip in front of others is to protect yourself. “A person with a grudge is a scary person.”
Eo tilted her head left and right.
“Protection? Eo doesn’t need that. Because Eo is so strong. I also drew with her sister with the purple long hair she had before coming here. “She said it’s been over 10 years since she picked up her sword.”
“Although Irene is strong, she is still only a first-year student. The world is wide and there are many strong people, eo. “No matter how excellent your learning ability is, you are still just a frog in a well.”
“What is a frog in a well?”
“It means that the frog living in the well does not know the vastness of the sea. “It is one of the maxims of the Eastern Empire.”
“Then Eo wants to be a really strong frog. “Esha and other people here also said she was extremely strong.”
Theo stared at Eo without responding. Eo’s eyes were straight and unwavering, as if he was not at all embarrassed by his remarks.
‘······ Hmm, it seems like Isha has raised her child too much. ‘It’s time to step on her once and for all.’
Without a word, Theo opened his [Subspace bag] And took out two long swords for training. Then he handed a sack to Eo.
“There is a saying that hearing a hundred times is worse than seeing once. Grab your sword, Eo.”
“Yes, I understand, Theo.”
Eo obediently held the sword and swung it from side to side. He looked much more relaxed in his form than before.
Theo waved his hand at Eo.
“Don’t give up the first strike. “Come in.”
“I understand, I regret it… Keuang.”
Instead of running towards Theo, Eo smacked his butt on the floor.
Theo asked.
“Why but, eo.”
“I am hungry and have no strength. “I guess I used up all my strength.”
“That can’t be helped. “Please wait a moment.”
Theo took out a large magic stone from the [Subspace Bag] And gave it to Eo.
Eo held the magic stone in both hands and chewed it.
Isabella watched a strange scene unfold out of nowhere.
‘······I feel dizzy. I think both Theo and that little Eoran kid are out of their minds.’
Isabella even wondered if her head had gone crazy with the kind of anger she had never experienced before.
Theo said to Isabella, who was giving her a confused look.
“Ah, Eo’s current stock is Magic Stone. This one recharges energy the fastest. “It will be my first time seeing you.”
“······That’s not why.”
At that time, Eo stood up.
“I ate it all, Theo. “Can I come in?”
“That’s very fast. Okay, come in.”
As soon as Theo finished speaking,
Blame it, Ta-dat──!
Eo rushed at Theo with his sword crossed.
At a speed that was incomparable to what he had seen before, one corner of Theo’s mouth rose high.
‘······Great!’
There was nothing unnecessary about Eo’s charging movements. He only felt the purpose of quickly approaching the opponent.
Except for sleeping time, all the time he was awake, Neira’s level of perfection was comparable to that of Theo, who was taught by an outstanding teacher.
‘But it’s too honest. It is clearly visible where it is aiming. Eo’s target now is my left thigh.’
Just as Theo thought, Eo’s sword was aimed at Theo’s left thigh.
Can!
Theo simply raised his sword and blocked Eo’s sword strike. I felt a tingling sensation beyond the grip holding the sword.
‘Your physical strength has also increased to an incomparable degree. ‘I wasn’t lying when I said I studied swordsmanship hard.’
Theo did not fight back. Instead, he distanced himself from Eo and waved his hand.
“There’s nothing special about claiming to be super strong, Eo. If this is the end, I think I will be very disappointed. “It felt so blatant where they were aiming, so I thought it was a fake.”
“······!”
The effect of the provocation was amazing!
Eo felt intense anger for the first time since his birth.
“I-I-I-I-I-IK!”
Eo, whose eyes were turned upside down, rushed towards Theo.
Nettlefish──!
Eo’s speed was much faster than before. It was difficult for most students of the College of Heroes to follow him with their eyes.
However, Theo held his sword loosely and just stared at Eo.
‘······Hmm, are they targeting the collarbone this time?’
Thanks to the trait [Observer’s Eyes], Theo’s eyes had always been good, but after training, Theo’s eyes developed rapidly to the point where he could easily be called a superhuman.
‘My eyesight seems to be much better.’
Although Theo himself was unaware, there was a soft blue glow around his eyes.
Gang!
Theo struck away Eo’s sword, which came rushing towards his collarbone.
“Hey, yaaat—!”
Eo swung his sword repeatedly with fierce spirit. The destinations of the sword are, in order, the neck, collarbone, solar plexus, cervix, and both ankles.
However, Eo’s sword attack was blocked very easily.
Kang, Kkang, Kang!
Theo blocked Eo’s attacks one after another. As if I had seen the future.
Eo is a warm baby robot that has not yet developed a proper personality.
That’s why he quickly realized that the world he had been looking at was inside a well.
A feeling of helplessness and despair swept over my whole body.
“······Ugh, ugh!”
Eo backed away from Theo without realizing it.
“······.”
However, Theo did not pursue.
Just like before, he was just looking at himself with a neat appearance without a single drop of sweat. He didn’t even have his sword in his hand, but instead had it at his waist.
That sight was enough to break Eo’s will to fight.
Tuk.
The practice longsword in Eo’s hand fell to the floor.
‘I am a frog in a well. ‘It’s also a very weak frog.’
It was shameful and shameful.
As soon as his thoughts reached that point, a sorrowful voice came out of Eo’s mouth.
“Ah, ahhh… hehehe…”
Eo is a product of over-technology created at the fingertips of Sonya, a mythical transcendent S EX class invention genius. Of course he would shed tears.
Eo cried, wiping the chicken-poop-like tears with the back of his white hand.
Her appearance was no different from any other human girl. Even Isabella, who was emotionally dry, moved to comfort Eo.
Of course, Theo didn’t offer any comfort.
I just stood in the same position as before and looked at Eo in silence.
‘······People who don’t know that Eo is a robot will be easily fooled. ‘Not only can I feel high-level emotions, but I can even shed tears.’
His eyes resembled those of a scholar exploring mysteries.
Isabella must have been shocked to see Theo like that, so she raised her voice.
“Theo, you were harsh this time. Even if it is for educational purposes, there is no need to push the child that hard. “He’s still young.”
Humans are animals dominated by vision.
Although Isabella knows that Eo is an artificially created robot, she has come to treat Eo as a human.
Theo agreed with Isabella.
“I see. I didn’t know Eo could feel emotions this deep. “I think we need to be more careful from the next training.”
“Yes, I think that would be a good idea.”
After Isabella nodded her head to Theo, she began to soothe him again, stroking his head.
“Hey, don’t cry. Pop! Women only cry when it’s important. “Crying all the time is something that lowers your value.”
It was not an appropriate consolation to give to a young girl, but Eo was no ordinary young girl.
Eo asked, wiping under his eyes.
“Then when should I cry?”
“Um…”
Isabella was troubled.
‘A child is like white drawing paper. ‘You shouldn’t give a vague, vague answer.’
After Isabella glanced at Theo’s face, she answered.
“······When you want to show your true feelings to a man. “Cry only then.”
