How to Survive at the Academy chapter 215

King of dungeons (3)

“The Great Sage Sylvania… You’re resurrecting the Sung Chang-ryong Velbrok… ?”

“All these hypotheses have no basis yet. However… It is also true that there is credibility.”

Isla Triss is a girl who is not very strong in her own strength, but has considerable knowledge in the academic field of magic.

In particular, he had a high sensitivity to Aspect Magic, and his knowledge about it was quite outstanding, so Professor Glast tried to use it as a sacrifice.

I wiped my face once and calmly organized my thoughts.

If you think about it, ＜Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman> credit goes up, and when the whole story ends… It shows the image of skipping the long time of several years after graduation.

After the prepared stories are over, the vague images of the various characters leading their own lives. After such scenes passed like a lantern, Ayla, who appeared at the end, had the title of ‘The Great Sage’.

A rare scholar who was granted the name of the Great Sage after Sylvania. The Great Sage Isla Triss.

At that time, all the stories were over, and Ayla achieved great academic success and succeeded… I thought it was just to show the fact that Because the other characters were also illuminated in that way.

However, if Ayla had found out something about High Sage Sylvania.

So, if something was accomplished by following the will of the Great Sage Sylvania.

If only ＜Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman> didn’t deal with that in depth.

Companion of swordsman Taylor McLaugh. Isla Triss… What facts did you discover about the Great Sage Sylvania?

This is completely offstage.

The repertoire of things that had only taken place on stage thoroughly began to run out.

Approaching the final act, now I couldn’t observe in the love affair… The facts below are starting to show their heads.

The shadow of a young scholar with gray hair tied back, who appeared secretly in the setting book or behind the scenes, casts on the stage.

“There is no way to check right now. How can you confirm the thoughts of someone who has already disappeared from time immemorial? However… That kid, Isla Triss, might figure out what it is.”

“that… You mean Taylor’s lover?”

“okay. If I’m right, he’ll be the next great sage.”

A reasonable guess arises that in some way there must have been contact with the Great Sage Sylvania.

Above all, Ayla was the first to guess the situation itself.

I was locked up in the prison of an accident called ‘faithful love’, and I was blinded by the thought of blocking Bellbrok… It suggests a different direction.

“I will find out anything. So when that time comes, you have to be ready to move right away. You have to get stronger.”

“So Ed… It was more hasty.”

“The harbinger of the great event that we have been preparing for for years is now near.”

I sat still, clenched my hands and clenched my teeth. He spoke in a low voice with strength between his brows.

“Honestly, I am nervous. I am a human too.”

The reason he was trying to learn high-level magic even after being beaten by Lucy was because he felt that the time of catastrophe was approaching so realistically.

“Ed… ”

A number of students left to enjoy the heat of the festival in the student square.

The student members who were arranging the seats were looking at us with puzzled faces. Even then, they wanted to organize themselves quickly and go out to enjoy the festival, so they quickly began to spur their work.

Sitting in between, Yenika and I remained silent for a long time.

“Ed… It may sound strange to say this, but I am happy.”

“… What?”

“Ed, I don’t think Ed himself knows that well. Over the past few years, I have had occasional breaks and rest, but… Still, Ed always felt like he was caught up in something, and he was just being chased.”

Yenika smiled shyly and whispered to herself as she recalled the past.

“When I sharpen my bow, when I build my hut, when I go hunting, when I sit quietly by a campfire… It seemed like he was always doing things in a calm and calm mood, but… Somehow, I knew Ed always lived like a sword chasing him around his back, running with all his might.”

Yenika, who sat in a small place and looked up blankly at the sky, seemed to be reminiscing about the past.

“When all of this is done, and I can get my diploma… Ed can stop running now.”

“… Yenika.”

“I grew up in a secluded countryside, seeing nothing but open ranches and towering mountains. So, I don’t know how hard it is to maintain a life that sprints from moment to moment like that for years at a time. Still, I can imagine.”

It seemed that Yenika knew what she was trying to say to me.

For the past hour, the emotions that Yenika felt as she stood by me and looked at me could not be expressed in simple words such as simple worry or empathy.

“… It must have been very, very difficult.”

“… Don’t deny it.”

“If solving Velbroque is really the end of everything, then let’s stop running.”

Life was like flying on bullets.

Was it so heartbreaking for Yenica that she had always kept a knife under her neck and repeated the tightrope walking, thrown into the swamp of death by one mistake?

“Let’s walk.”

“… ”

“Until then, I will run with you.”

Yenika spoke with a bashful smile, then made a serious face and spoke straight.

“So… First of all, solving the problem of Seongchangryong Velbroque that Ed said is the top priority.”

“Right now, there is no way I can get my hands on it. So, it is right to solve everything that is happening first. And Yenica, you have a lot of work to do right now.”

When I said that, Yenika shook her head and spoke firmly.

“Right now, Ed’s work comes first. Ed will tell you to ask for help when the time comes, but it’s right to move around Ed for now. There are many things in my life, but… What could be more important than Ed’s situation right now?!”

“Miss Yenica, you are here.”

“… Hey, Bell?”

Just like a small mammal’s exhalation, Yenica, startled, turned around to see Bell Maia in person.

“It was good to hear that there will be a meeting in the student plaza in advance. You’re here. Ed, how are you too?”

“It must be busy during the festival, but what are you doing up to here?”

“that… It doesn’t matter if it’s written by someone, but I think it’s right for me to come in person, so I split the time and came here.”

“Bell… directly?! What’s wrong, Bell?”

In the next line of Bell, I could see Yenica’s face turning pale blue. It was truly a strange sight to see.

“Lady Jenika’s parents are in the Ophelis Hall.”

*Orte Palerover and Seyla Palerover know that Yenica is still living in the Ophelis Hall.

When the two came to the Ophelis Hall and asked to guide them to Yenica Palerover’s room, Bell Maia was able to infer that fact in an instant.

Actually, because of Yenika’s personality, there’s no way I could have proudly told my parents, ‘I got kicked out of the dormitory and I live with a boy my age in the forest.’

Anyway, Orte and Seyla were in a position where they couldn’t come out of Pulan because of their ranch work, so there was nothing good to worry about, so we talked about it roughly.

Bell, who accurately guessed Yenica’s situation… First, they introduced me to an empty room, and then I had someone fill it in with simple school uniforms and daily necessities that smelled like life. It wasn’t that much of a chore.

After that, he quickly introduced me that this was Yenika’s room, sat the two of them in the room, and came to call Yenika.

Even the senior maids who were watching the scene with improvisation, who were so proficient enough to stick their tongue out, were stunned.

However, even if Belmaia’s response was close to perfect… Yenica Palerover’s terrible acting skills, who had to lead the situation, did not improve at all.

“Oh, Daddy?! How did you get here?! ranch work?”

Sitting opposite each other on the hospitality sofa in an empty, well-decorated room, Yenika barely spoke, her eyes twirling and her breath taking a breath.

“Oh, Yenika. It’s worthwhile to sneak up on you because you’re showing such a surprising reaction… ! It’s the Krestol Grand Festival, and I’m here to ask about the contents of the letters from the nobles who keep flying to the ranch!”

In response to Seila’s answer, Yenica thought that she was going to miss it.

Naturally, Yenika should have explained the letter flying to her hometown. I couldn’t do that simply because my body was too far away, but I could have sent a letter.

“That’s right… ! Obviously I should have explained it myself… I was too busy and too busy to think about it. Sorry.”

“No, Yenika. We are so proud of you. And I really wanted to see what your school life is like. Yenika Everyone seems to be proud of you, so I’m very happy even as a father… ! big black… !”

Orte Palerover is a man with a muscular body and a harsh impression, but he is a daughter-in-law who is docile in front of his daughter.

So, seeing my daughter being recognized so much, I was so moved that I couldn’t even say a word.

“To be alone in such a luxurious room… After all, I thought my daughter would be a great talent… !”

“honey… Don’t shed any tears… Me too… I’m about to cry… ”

“I… Originally, he was a man who didn’t shed tears well… big black… shit… ”

Seeing the couple shivering, Yenika was already stunned.

Judging by the couple’s inclinations and the condition of the gift package they had carefully wrapped, it was decided what to say next.

“Anyway, from what I heard, the Duke of Roth Taylor seems to have put a lot of effort into it. I can’t stand still in the position of receiving grace!”

“right! Be sure to meet and say thank you! And, Yenika, what you said the other day… that… I really want to see the face of a boy with a subtle airflow. Oh ho ho!”

How sad would it be to find out that these two are the same person? If the couple returns to their hometown, it will take less than three days for the rumors to spread throughout the village.

Just imagining it was terrifying, Yenika forced a smile with her lips raised.

“Uh huh! But since you’re so busy, I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet you that easily!”

“I will, too.”

“yes! It will be really, really, really, really, really, really hard to meet in person! And there are so many things to see during the festival! Mom and Dad must have come too, I’ll take a look! There are many academic conferences, and let’s go to concerts with bands! Go to a dinner party and eat a lot of delicious food! Tomorrow, we will see Princess Sellaha’s coming together, and we will also see the unified competition… ! That’s right, Ed… No, Master Ed is also coming to the unified competition!”

“okay?”

“but… It wouldn’t be easy enough to be able to meet cloth things like us. Still, I wish I could have delivered a present… ”

“Should I say it’s a great honor to be able to see even your face at the Unified Competition? ”

Yenika’s head seemed to be throbbing already.

Above all, rumors about Yenika and Ed’s relationship have already spread throughout the bachelor’s. If you don’t put a close-fitting mark 24 hours a day, the news will get into your parents’ ears somehow right away.

Still, it’s the festival period, and the students don’t seem to be talking about anything without notice… If you work hard, you will be able to just make a good memory and send it back to your hometown.

Yenika grabbed hold of her bewildered spirit and put on a stern expression.

And I promise myself over and over again.

can do.

can do… !!!!

*“I can do it aah!”

The cry of Wade Callamore, the first-year combat team chief, echoed in the corner of the waiting room.

The match between the 3rd and 4th graders will be the final climax of the Unified Dalian Conference.

Compared to the match that will be held on a special stage where Emperor Chloel and Princess Selaha see, the match between the first and second year is shorter than expected.

yea that can’t be the case The battles that are exposed to outsiders should be duels of high-level students as much as possible, so it is only natural for seniors to attend.

Still, just because they were in the lower grades doesn’t mean they didn’t take pride in the duel.

In particular, Wade could be called the bad luck side.

Senior Years 3 and 4, Ed and Dyke. There may be many people waiting for the duel between the two with sweat on their hands, but…

In fact, it was safe to say that the result of the match between the first and second year seniors, Wade and Lucy, had already been decided.

“I… Genius… I’m a genius… .”

He has been hailed as the heir to the Callamore family. In addition, the weight of Princess Penia’s loyalties also weighs on her shoulders.

Wade, the head of the combat team, with white hair and a sharp appearance, had a lot of momentum that seemed to pierce the sky when he first entered the school.

For those like Ziggs Eiffelstein and Ed Roth Taylor, he realized the talent gap.

Losing the sense of superiority emanating from his brilliant talent, even Wade’s self-confidence disappeared at the same time. Thanks to this, I was able to be immersed in training without being conceited, but despite this, I was very afraid of the scheduled match with Lucy Meirl.

The 1st and 2nd year competitions are coming to an end. There was no royal observer yet, but big figures such as Vice Principal Rachel and Chief Dean McDowell came out to watch the duel.

He couldn’t show his unsightly appearance in a place where there were so many important academic positions.

However, the opponent is that Lucy Meryl.

Although he was somehow maintaining his mentality by giving hints close to self-hypnosis, Wade himself already knew.

No matter how much talent he was accumulating in swordsmanship, he would not even reach the tip of Lucy Meryl. You don’t even have to deal with it, you get a quote right away.

“Wade. Don’t be too nervous. I think I’m going to show you everything I can do.”

“Dike-senpai… ‘

Dyke, who was from the same combat team, patted Wade on the shoulder, but in fact, it wasn’t much of a consolation.

The experience of being defeated and collapsing helplessly in front of those who have accumulated more talent than you.

For Dyke, it was too much experience to be able to bear it, so it was not like anyone else to see Wade trembling in fear.

Wade looked at Lucy, who had already come out of the battlefield, and stood drowsily over the barbed wire in the waiting room.

It’s a rough school schedule, so he’s attending, but it looks like he’s yawning big as if he wants to finish it quickly and go home.

Initially, Wade is not recognized as Lucy’s duel. It’s just a job to get rid of and get back to quickly.

It is said that Clevius Nortondale charged the monster with his sword.

It was not even a duel field full of such safety equipment, and despite the fact that the opponent had lost his mind in anger, it is said that he risked his life and stepped forward as if jumping with his limbs.

However, in this ceremonial duel, he felt pathetic to see himself trembling even in a place where several layers of safety were guaranteed.

“Are you pathetic about yourself, Wade? Are you so scared and trembling?”

Suddenly, Dyke, who was sitting next to Wade, said: As a senior senior in the combat team, do you have anything to say?

“… Yes.”

Wade, who was united with one pride, somehow had an honest impression this time.

The big man, Dyke Elpelan, had a feeling he wouldn’t laugh at whatever he said. He was a senior who exuded such a strange sense of stability.

Seeing his pathetic self, Wade knew that Dyke would spit out his stern words.

Don’t be afraid. you can It is possible. Do your best.

Hearing such brave words like a warrior, I wanted to clear my mind even a little.

“know. I’m terribly scared too If I had been in your position, my legs would have been shaking.”

He spit out a lament mixed with vulgar swear words.

Feeling a difference from the appearance of Dyke, who always kept his dignity, Wade widened her eyes.

“It is said that Clevius charged with this clenched fist even against that monster… It’s not something anyone can do. What’s the difference from jumping into a pit of fire?”

Rather, the words that seemed to provoke Wade’s fear even more, Wade was stunned.

“Yeah, too… Dyke-senpai… ”

“Do you think there is any other way… ? When you deal with a monster like that, of course, your legs will tremble.”

“… I thought I was a courageous person. I never thought I’d be so scared. Able to charge directly in front of tens of thousands of troops without fear… I wanted to be like my father Marcus… ”

I think of the time when Ziggs Eiffelstein’s sword was hung around his neck.

Wade Callamore was just a coward, drunk on victory, looking for an opponent to beat.

A truly courageous person is a person who does his/her duty regardless of fearful situations.

“To be ignorant of fear is not to be brave, it is to be reckless. Because your father is the commander of the Marcus corps, do you think he doesn’t know fear?”

So Dyke denied Wade’s words.

“Even if you’re scared, it’s courage to just do it. Don’t forget the horror, Wade. Don’t think about turning away from the fear, just face it and think about overcoming it.”

Never back down even if you feel defeat. That was the life of Dyke Elpelan.

“Dike-senpai… ”

“Everyone is predicting a victory for Lucy Meryl. Honestly, that doesn’t make sense. Still, give me a room or so. Even if I can only give you one effective hit, everyone will see you differently.”

“… All right.”

Wade didn’t bother trying to get rid of the fear.

Accepting that fear, facing him straight up… he went out to the dungeon with cheers.

After the dark waiting room is over, let’s head out to the center of the bright dungeon… Lucy Meryl is standing there with a languid face.

Wade took a deep breath.

Not everyone cares about the outcome of this duel. I’m just waiting for the match between the 3rd and 4th graders tomorrow.

A stage that does not even meet expectations. Therefore, there is no stage like this to outwit everyone.

“Lucy Meryl.”

Wade spoke with a serious expression, pulling out a sword.

Even if you have lived as a coward, even if you have been running away from fear…

If you are born as a man, you must be able to unleash a blade of counterattack against the world at least once.

Just like the corps commander Marcus, who was valiant in the face of tens of thousands of troops.

Even if it rots, it’s called Junchi, Wade Callamore is an elite among the elites who were born and raised in a prestigious samurai family.

Keep that pride and perseverance. With that heart, I have endured this far.

“It would be better to be prepared.”

Rather, a provocation towards Lucy from Wade’s side.

Lucy just mumbled the jerky and changed her hat.

“Although my… The might of power may not reach you, but the strength of this will… The fact that it doesn’t break easily… Don’t tell me for sure!”

― The duel begins!

― aa

― Quaggagak! bang! bang!

In an instant, the world was colored with light.

High-ranking lightning magic ‘Negative Punishment’ 3 hits in a row.

Wade, who was hit three times in a row with an attack that left a dizzying effect with just one shot, was hung up on the inner wall of the arena and lost consciousness.

It was unsightly to see her eyes twirling round and round and making noises.

“… … .. heh heh… .! power control… .!”

Lucy’s face was turning blue.

Over the past month, he had been repeatedly fighting against Ed, and his sense of control had become blunt.

This is because Ed Roth Taylor was a human being who had the capacity to receive Lucy’s high-ranking magic. Although it was something I managed to somehow manage while clenching my teeth and hurting my body.

In the end, I got used to Ed’s growth, which prevented even 3 strikes in a row, so he fired a little too much firepower against Wade!

Fortunately, Wade did not appear to be life-threatening.

Lucy broke out in a cold sweat and, after eating half of it, shoved the jerky into her mouth.

“… sorry.”

Cheers poured out from behind Lucy, who threw a short apple and hurriedly turned out of the dinning room.

Applause of encouragement also poured in for Wade, who was completely unconscious and drowsy.

The figure of Lucy who has successfully subdued a person who could not even be an opponent with a single gesture.

And watching the rare genius who shakes his hands and turns away as if it’s nothing special… Dyke Elpelan, who was sitting in the corner of the waiting room, smiled bitterly.

When you look at the huge gap that you can’t keep up with, you don’t even feel a sense of relative deprivation.

It’s only going to make a bitter laugh out of frustration.

*[ Are you going to invite me to the rallies too? ]

From noblemtl.com

Merylda was sitting on top of a pile of books.

There were many books in the hut, too, so it was a very satisfying environment for Merylda, who likes to read typefaces. Most of them were the books Lortel brought with them.

“It is unconditional. It’s a tough opponent to win without a high spirit.”

[After a long time, I will be able to heal myself properly. It is said that a man named King of Kwon can destroy buildings with one punch full of magical power… ]

“Well, you should never relax. by the way… ”

Once I got back to the hut, I cleaned up the workbench, pulled out the hinged door and repaired it.

Then, after checking the stock of food materials, arranging all the spoiled ones, he was making various tech supplies in the tech workshop on the second floor.

After an hour or two of magic engineering training, I was thinking of going to the Trix Hall.

But before that, there was another reason for summoning Merylda.

“As far as I know, you’re the only one who’s ever met Grand Sage Sylvania in person.”

[ … ]

“I want to ask for your opinion.”

High Wind Spirit Merylda… I have experience meeting the real thing of the great sage Sylvania.

It seems that they not only met, but also developed into a fairly close relationship. Merylda, in human form, literally nailed Sylvania.

“The great sage Sylvania, who long ago asked you to protect this forest and island.”

[Are you looking for my old friend now? Well, because I’ve become such a famous person… I’m just curious… ]

“If you were walking around me without manifesting… You know what I’m going to ask?”

At this point in time, the only person who knows best about the Great Sage Sylvania is Merylda, no matter what anyone says.

so… I couldn’t move on without asking Merylda.

If the one who unlocks Velbrok’s seal is really the Great Sage Sylvania…

[I can’t. ]

Before she could assume anything, Merylda categorically denied it.

[ Sylvania loved this school more than anyone. No one would ever do such a stupid thing to destroy this school on his own. At least that’s how I see it. ]

“You are more confident than you think.”

[ Sure. You said you were a close friend. ]

Long ago, there was no Sylvanian Academy on this Aken Island, and Merylda lived here since the days when there were very few human beings inhabiting it.

He is a living witness who has watched the change process of Aken Island with both eyes for the past year.

[ He’s so geeky, I don’t know if he’s really alive or not, but he’s definitely not the kind of person who could harm this school anyway. ]

“… ”

[I don’t pay homage to humans easily. But Sylvania… He was a man worthy of respect. At least among the humans I’ve seen in all these years. ]

It’s not often that Merylda, who is always smiling mischievously, speaks with such a serious face.

[If you look… Ed I better tell you. This is something that is not written in any history books. A story that only I know of, living and breathing in the same era as Sylvania. ]

And, the story of the wind wolf goes to the distant past.

[ The story of Sylvania’s death… Have you never heard of it? Nothing has been officially revealed other than that he passed away at a young age. ]

long time ago.

This Aken Island was nothing but a rising mountain and a majestic forest. He was exiled here and built a huge academy… The story of a great sage.

Put your hands on your waist, smile confidently, hmm! That white-haired cheerful girl who had a habit of exhaling. That rare scholar who always looked up at the night sky with a proud posture and had stars in his eyes.

This is Merylda’s testimony about the end of that great man.
