How to Survive at the Academy chapter 22

Glaskan subjugation (2)

The surprise happened the next evening.

I am the one who repeats the life of returning to the camp like a bullet after a day’s work in Gwak-dong.

I usually don’t leave the professor building by dinner time, but I stayed quite late today.

The goal was to create a more stable living environment by building a proper timber hut.

Therefore, I was learning basic design materials in the student library, and collecting information such as what materials would be needed and how to trim the trees.

Well, there is no urgent need for food right now, and there are no urgent tasks or tasks to deal with because it is the weekend. It would be okay if I stayed in the professor dong until a little late today.

If you’ve decided to get things done, there’s nothing good about dragging them sluggishly. Gathering information from student libraries also takes time.

From my point of view, who lives by making plans for an hour, once I have decided to sit down in the student library, it is better to do everything I have planned at once.

In the first place, the North Forest and the student library are so far apart that it is difficult to visit often.

There is a limit to the number of books that can be borrowed, and the limit has already been used for studies. Therefore, you should know all the necessary information unconditionally here.

It was around the time when he was burning his will to fight like that, heaped up books and devoured it like crazy.

“It’s closing time. You’re studying really hard.”

A student from the librarian class with a warm impression approached me and informed me. Surrounded by books and concentrating frantically, the time seemed to have passed.

I looked around and everything was empty except for where I was sitting.

I was starving for dinner and came right away and sat down, but it was almost closing time.

I lifted my head and looked at the student who spoke to me. If you look at the girl’s chest with her hands clasped in a calm, dapper fashion, a blue badge hangs neatly. means 1st grade. In short, it is a person you can talk to comfortably.

“Huh, I’m sorry.”

It was already dark outside the window.

If you pile up books like a mountain and stick them together until just before closing time, it is very hard work for the librarian who has to put all these books together after I leave.

“If I had told you sooner, I would have finished it earlier.”

“No. It’s okay. You’re completely focused, so I’m sorry for talking on my side.”

The wavy, pale pink hair, I can’t remember well… I feel a strange sense of dread as if I’ve seen it somewhere.

Apprentice librarian at the Sylvania Faculty Building Student Library, your name is… Mocha? Elka? Delka? Well, what was it… It was definitely not the main character in the script.

“I heard that you study with your buttocks, but you only eat snacks and sit and gain weight on your side… Oh my, you said something useless. Me too.”

I answered dryly, and quickly closed the book.

I was going to start working on the groundwork for the hut within today, but it seems like it won’t be so.

“Still, seeing people like you, I am motivated to study. I don’t come here often, but whenever I visit, I think it’s admirable to see people like you really focus on books.”

The girl smiled and continued.

“My name is Elka Islan.”

From the flow that naturally leads to self-introduction, it can be inferred that he has been trying to talk for quite some time.

“Ed.”

“…”

The reaction that hardens in no time when you name them is beyond familiarity and is a bit tiring.

When did the entrance exam case end, the rumors about his Ed Roth-Taylor never stop. Even though I live as quietly as possible, only listening to classes and doing my job, that notoriety doesn’t seem to be fading.

It makes me wonder how arrogant and hateful it would have been.

In the first place, rumors are a subject that doesn’t flow well in a good direction, and it rolls around as if oiled in a bad direction…

He’s not so naive that he gets hurt and offended by each of those rumors, but it’s unavoidable that he often sighs when he sees such a reaction.

“Though… that might be rude to say.”

Nevertheless, if you do your job quietly, work diligently in your studies, and try to survive day by day, there are times when your evaluation will change completely.

“It’s very different from the rumors.”

“rumor?”

“No, um… I hope you don’t look too strange…”

Talking about rumors is also absurd. Let’s just skip it and go back to camp as soon as it’s late at night.

When you think about it like that, the other person is talking about something frivolous.

“I’m an apprentice librarian, so I usually spend my time here after school. Do you borrow a lot of elementary science books every few days?”

“…”

“If you read and return a dozen or so hundreds of pages in a few days, or read five or six books in one sitting, and see something like that… I’m sorry… Oh, gi, I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.”

The girl frowns like that and then quickly picks up the books.

“Uh, anyway, I have to clean up quickly and go back to the dormitory…. Take care and go home!”

Talking so urgently, the girl quickly blended into the bookshelves.

And then, the library’s bookshelves fell like dominoes.

*

Living in the outskirts without being part of the main scenario is very painful.

In a position where you have to always accept sudden changes in circumstances, you can’t help but feel that way.

“Profit, tea!”

After pulling out the librarian who was struggling on the bookshelf, he roughly grabbed it and put it on the table.

A thunderous sound resounded throughout the faculty building, and 15 minutes ago, a terrifying tremor struck the entire student library building.

The aftermath was enormous enough to be described as just an earthquake. Bookcases were all toppled, books were rolling on the floor, and reading materials and consumables were all in a mess.

All the expensive magic tools were smashed, and the crystal ball and candles in charge of the light source all worked, so the inside was darkness itself.

“hey.”

“Uh-.”

The librarian seemed to have lost his mind and only made a faint sound.

I put the librarian on the table, thinking about it for a while. It’s a guy I don’t remember clearly, but it’s a strange feeling if it seems like I’ve seen it somewhere. Well, it wouldn’t mean much if I couldn’t remember how I played ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Castle’.

The time must have passed 9 o’clock, and there is no light source inside.

However, the inside of the reading room has a soft purple light, so that even with two eyes that have not yet acclimatized to the dark, the internal structure can be seen.

If you look at where the source of the light is, it is surprisingly a window.

I went straight to the window and opened the window. Since this student library is located on a small hill on the outskirts of Gwak-dong, I managed to get a panoramic view of the Gwa-dong.

A pillar of reddish light rising from the student center. It traversed straight over the gallows, and was triggering a space seal barrier that encircled the entire gallows.

The sudden earthquake must have been the aftermath of that large-scale space-sealing magic. It is clear from the fact that it stretched out from the student center.

“Um… Isn’t it a bit early…?”

Anyway, nothing to be upset about.

Although Ed Roth Taylor’s maggot-like body is going through all sorts of hardships, my information superiority is definitely helpful in this case.

“Well…”

I wiped my chin and thought for a moment.

It may not have been enough to make me panic and go crazy, but there were quite a few things I didn’t quite understand.

First of all, that space sealing magic was activated by the high dark spirit Velosper through Yenica, and it is a means to block this wide gallows from the outside. Velosper applied the high-ranking dark magic ‘Shadow Curtain’.

It’s a good word, a high-level barrier, and from a scenario perspective, it’s just a stage setting.

The Glaskan subjugation, which adorns the climax of Act 1, is an episode in which all the important first-year all-stars come out and form a subjugation squad to attack the student center.

However, if you think about it common sense, such a scenario cannot be achieved.

Among the elemental spirits, the most inexplicable and infamous Dark Spirit, even a high-ranking spirit, is a problem that cannot be solved at the student level. Even if the student center has been occupied, of course, faculty and professors will have to come out and subdue it.

However, that doesn’t make the story complete. In order for Taylor to become an episode where the swordsmanship ceremony is expressed, it is necessary to block the intervention of faculty and professors.

So, the concept that came out was that Velosper’s space sealing magic.

That barrier is like a lock locked from the inside, so it is easy to confirm that it is locked from the inside, but it is difficult to confirm it from the outside.

And even if you notice the abnormality, it takes almost half a day to unlock the still incomprehensible Dark Spirit’s barrier ceremony in a standard way. In the end, if you want to break through quickly, you have no choice but to break the barrier using its overwhelming destructive power.

Even if such an ignorant method would work for a barrier of such a size, there are some humans who can do that as the name Sylvania suggests. Without going too far, even calling in Principal Obel will destroy the entire barrier without any interpretation work.

However, the high dark spirit Velosper is cunning.

The incident occurred late in the evening when most of the professors were returning to their private labs or their homes.

By the time 9 o’clock has passed, there are few professors left in the professor’s building. This is because the professors’ private labs are all attached to the living wing for their convenience.

After all, this Glaskan subjugation, the final chapter of Act 1, is a battle against time.

Before dawn, before Yenika summons the highest dark spirit, Glaskan, the key is to subdue her.

Even if it is a barrier ceremony that will be destroyed quickly if left alone, it is enough to delay the time until the Glaskan Summoning Ceremony is activated.

-‘Druck’

I swung the window open and looked outside. And I looked around, but it didn’t seem like the spirits that Yenica had manifested were occupying the road.

“I haven’t even entered Phase 1 yet.”

The boss battle flow leading to the summoning of the subjugation squad – recapture of the student center – the battle of the nail hall corridor – the subjugation of Yenica – the subjugation of Glaskan – will start now and end before dawn.

Simply put, he is a real high school student. There is no choice but to send a prayer to Taylor.

First of all, you have to run around like crazy from the first phase. While suppressing the spirits in the way, I feel like a real idiot when I am working on gathering the first-year aces spread all over the faculty building in one place.

“Are you going to meet Ayla by now?”

I guess the situation is over.

Spiritual energy flowing from the student center. Ayla, a childhood friend who is versed in Elemental Studies, will clearly explain the situation to Taylor.

From now on, even the students must work together to subdue that monster-like high-ranking dark spirit.

The moment the highest dark spirit, Glaskan, descended on the gallows building, the damage would be indescribable.

So, I invite people to help me to the student plaza.

The bluish light from the window changes its hue to an ominous dark red. The chanting for the Glaskan summoning ceremony began. He clearly knows who the subject of the chanting is.

He is a cutie chief spirit samurai who is admired and loved by all sophomores.

“Seeing from here, it’s a new sight again.”

From Taylor’s point of view, when he saw the moment when that barrier appeared, he was right near the Student Union.

It is swept away by the explosively spreading mana flow of the barrier ceremony, and before long a reddish veil covers the ominous sky without a single star. Its width is huge enough to cover the entire faculty building.

Just by looking at it, you can infer the fact that a large-scale event is about to begin.

However, from my point of view, having already played several times, the current point of view was rather fresh.

Even from such a distant place, that pillar of light is so majestic.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the scene of the appearance of the barrier ceremony seen from the student library on the outskirts of Hwaseong-dong.

Outside the barrier, it would seem that nothing is happening. It’s a really convenient barrier.

Well, Glaskan or whatever, Taylor will figure it out by running around on her feet. I’ll be done here just to pass the time while reading a book.

There is absolutely no need for me to go out and suffer. However, if there is any effort, it is better to invest in improving the perfection of my cabin even a little. If you get involved, you will only suffer a lot and only hurt your body.

Besides, I don’t even want to approach a place where there are a lot of important screenplay characters. Future knowledge and one-sided information superiority are my greatest weapons. I’d never do anything stupid by giving out a bunch of random variables and then throwing those powerful weapons out of my hands.

“for a moment…”

However, a thought that comes to mind.

“Isn’t this the time to be like this?”

I was sitting roughly at the library table, looking at the magnificent barrier ceremony. A phrase from a strategy article I saw a long time ago that suddenly came to mind.

-‘ If you are planning to invest in the spirit ceremony of alchemy skills, it will be convenient later if you raise the skill level of understanding and responding to spirits in this phase.’

“right..!”

Act 1, the final battle, is a part where dozens of spirits contracted with Yenica and numerous physical spirits derived from the manifestation of those spirits appear in large numbers.

This is an opportunity to raise the proficiency of those dreadful ‘Spirit Understanding’ and ‘Spirit Sensitivity’ skills at once.

The proficiency of the spirit-based skills is accumulated through contact with the spirits. Whether it’s communicating or fighting, there must be exchanges with the spirits. In general, combat experience fills the proficiency well.

However, ordinary people cannot even see spirits. Unless, like Yenika, she was lucky enough to be gifted with a tremendous amount of spirit sensitivity.

So, in order for a person without natural talent to use the spirit-based skills, there is no other way than to contact the spirit that other spirits have ‘appeared’.

Such a closed nature of spirit-based skills acts as a thick barrier to entry. And the opportunity to overcome the barriers to entry at once is the final match in Act 1.

As the final boss is a spirit warrior, in this part, you can accumulate a lot of battle experience with the manifested spirits.

It is foolish to sit idly with such a honey-like exploding event in front of your eyes.

Besides, this battle is ‘actual battle’.

It is also possible to build combat proficiency that is different from the small mock battles experienced in the middle of the curriculum.

By suppressing as many spirits as possible, my priority is to promote my growth.

“This was not the time to be idle!”

I quickly jumped off the table and unlocked the reading room exit. As I was running out, I suddenly saw a librarian lying on the table.

“Well…”

Once inside the building, it doesn’t seem like it would be particularly dangerous, but just in case you didn’t know, I picked up the parchment and quills lying around in the corner.

-‘If you come to your senses, don’t panic and stay here. Everything will be finished before dawn, so calmly block the entrance and do not provoke the spirits. Unconditionally think of your own safety first, and do not make hasty moves.’

Hmm… What’s wrong with just leaving a single note?

It is unlikely that the wandering spirits will even break into the reading room of the library building and raid the sleeping girl, but there is a case. If you get hurt or even have an effect on your life, the aftertaste will only be bitter.

I set up a blackboard lying in the corner of the reading room, picked up the chalk that had fallen in the corner, and wrote in large letters. In case you can’t find the memo, I’ve rewritten the same content.

And before I left, I pushed the window wall to the side and covered it all up. It would be less dangerous because you can’t see the inside. The exit also seemed too open, so I roughly covered it with a blackout curtain that had been torn and rolled around. In this way, the entrance will not be visible, and it will not interfere with movement in case you need to escape.

It’s gotten a little dark inside, but I wrote it on the blackboard like that, so you’ll find it easily.

If you do this, you’ve done enough. I quickly ran out into the hallway.

Soon, it will be an experience point release event. you have to move fast

Fluid spirits and traces of elements are enough to subdue myself, and with a little effort, I can also subdue lesser spirits.

…In the original situation, I had to think about how to suppress that vicious Velosper before judging my growth… But, thankfully, there is someone who will take responsibility for all the hardships and adversities instead of me…

taylor..

I don’t know, so please figure it out yourself.

It must be hard work… Anyway, fighting!

*

-‘What kind of burden should I carry, it must be heavier than the burden that the princess has carried.’

-‘It is definitely necessary to be concerned about the complicated situation and government, but how about taking it easy?’

The reason that the words suddenly came to mind was due to the bad habit of Princess Penia.

Although she easily sees through the hearts of others in everything, she has very little experience of penetrating her inner self to others. That is why, even once, if the lungs are punctured, the fact cannot be easily forgotten.

Ed Roth-Taylor’s shuddering words seemingly indifferent may be the cause of that tendency.

It’s still a long way off. Princess Fenia was thinking like that… and she regained her composure.

“This is the situation now.”

1st year Ayla summarized the situation and delivered it.

The place is a temporary gathering place in the student plaza. The time is 11:30.

The appearance of a barrier ceremony that occurred suddenly around the student center. Nearly two hours had already passed since that catastrophic event had occurred.

The square was filled with students who could not get out because they were trapped in the Velosper’s barrier ceremony. It is a temporary station.

With the fountain located in the middle of the square as the center, a barricade installed by collecting all sorts of junk nearby was blocking the entrances to the north, south, east, and west. It was crude, but it was able to block the approach of the spirits scattered around because it provided the minimum cover.

“A barrier on such a large scale will not last long. It will be discovered soon, and help will come from outside. Once you notice from the outside, the professors will come.”

At Aila’s words, the left crowd nodded their heads.

The head of this temporary garrison, which was formed voluntarily by students, was Princess Penia, no matter what anyone said.

In a crisis situation, the most urgent thing is the existence of a person in charge of controlling the situation. A person with legitimate authority and power who can control the situation leading to chaos is desperately needed.

Needless to say, in the current situation, Princess Penia was the perfect fit. No one could argue with her authority.

A total of 57 students gathered at the Student Square garrison.

Such a quick response was largely due to the merits of Taylor McLaugh, a first-year combat student. As he walked through the hordes of spirits that occupied the Gwakwon-dong, he acted as a trigger so that students could gather in this student plaza.

As a result, more than half of the remaining students in the faculty building were able to gather at this student plaza.

At the center of the garrison, members who could be called the core among the gathered students gathered and had a meeting.

Penny, the princess of charity. Golden Daughter Lortel. Spear jigs of vegetation. Captain Claire. Failing swordsman Taylor. Companion Isla. Nosy Elvira. Poor Clevius….

Each of them sat on the floor, leaned against a barricade wall, or stood modestly, gathering freely and discussing countermeasures. Needless to say, at the center of it was Princess Phenia.

“Like I said, I think we should enter the student center even by ourselves.”

It was the opinion of Taylor McLaure, who had become full of scars while running through the gallows through the spirits.

He raised his body full of small wounds and offered his opinion straight.

“I can’t wait for external support. That barrier is literally just to pass the time. If Glaskan is really summoned as Ayla said, it could cause serious human casualties.”

The information gathered and delivered by Aila, who is versed in the magic of the spirit world, and Taylor, who was running around the field, was shocking.

The spirit ceremony that covered the night sky is a magic that summons the highest dark spirit, Glaskan.

It is said that there are only a few people in this school who are excellent at responding to spirits enough to summon such spirits.

Considering the elimination method, the culprit is probably the second-year chief of the Ministry of Magic, Yenica Palerover.

“Princess Phenia. I am opposed to that opinion. The most important thing is Princess Phenia’s body. For now, think conservatively as much as possible and do not go outside the temporary garrison.”

The captain of the escort, Claire, thought only of the safety of Princess Fenia as much as possible.

“People outside the barrier will notice the incident quickly. The Imperial Guard stationed in the eastern part of the living room and the professors of the bachelor’s degree will respond quickly, and it will be resolved quickly.”

“The barriers of high-ranking dark spirits are not easily interpreted unless they are broken by force. To be honest, I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet the time.

The tomboy-looking alchemist responded to Claire’s words. It was the first-year chief of the Sylvania Pension Division, ‘Nosy Elvira’.

“Umm~. I agree with Taylor’s opinion~. Above all, if all the members work together like this, even if it’s impossible to reach the highest level, you might be able to subdue a high level spirit, right? Hmm~. Honestly, everyone is not confident~?”

“So, right now… let’s break through…? Hehe… I’m the opposite…”

A male student with dark circles, ‘Dismal Clevius’ pointed towards the Student Union.

The body spirits and sub-spirits that spread throughout the faculty building are not very dangerous. When such members gather in one place, it can be said that it is back-to-back safe.

However, the situation at the student center was completely different.

The place where Yenica Palerover, the master of all these spirits, is located. There, all kinds of lieutenant spirits and spirit beasts stood guard in double or triple.

“Let’s break through all those lieutenant spirits, subdue all the spirit beasts, enter the building and subdue Yenika…? That… is that possible…? Even those aren’t all! The high spirits inside There are two! High Fire Spirit Takan, High Dark Spirit Velosper!”

At Clevius’ words, the crowd was silent.

In joint combat practice, the power of the high spirits was clearly seen.

High-ranking fire spirit Takan summoned by Yenika. The gigantic fire lizard roared as it embraced the top of the nail tube.

Even Lortel, one of the class A students approved by Professor Glast, could not help but be suppressed without making a click.

Even Takan will be stronger than ever. All of the spirits occupying the gallows building were enchanted with Velosper’s berserk magic. There is no exception for takan.

“I don’t commit suicide like that…! I can’t!”

“Don’t get excited, Clevius.”

“Ugh… I’m sorry. Princess Penia.”

Clevius bowed her head at Princess Fenia’s remarks.

However, Clevius’ words once uttered created an atmosphere of despair among the students.

From noblemtl.com

More than fifty students guard the perimeter from this narrow garrison. Since this conversation was audible to everyone, I couldn’t keep saying useless, demoralizing remarks.

“Isn’t it too strong to be a second-year senior in the first place? One student even chants the Glaskan summoning ceremony with this number of spirits manifested without hesitation?”

It was Taylor’s childhood friend Isla who answered Lortel’s question.

“Most of it will be Velosper’s power. Yenika-senpai is just a medium to express that power. That’s why all the elementalists have their minds cleared so as not to be engulfed by the dark spirits.”

Ayla’s explanation that followed was something that Princess Fenia knew.

Originally referred to as the nemesis of the spirits, the dark spirits have enormous power, but they never move according to the spirits’ intentions.

Rather, they are demon-like beings who rule over the spirits and let them play according to their own intentions.

“However, no one knows how Velosper ruled over Yenica, who is more knowledgeable in elemental science than anyone else. He must have known better than anyone about the dangers of dark spirits.”

“That doesn’t matter now.”

To Ayla’s explanation, the ‘Green Spear Ziggs’ who was sitting in the corner answered.

“Isn’t the important thing to set our course of action now?”

A serious and deep voice. The long-haired boy, who came down to the neck, spoke clearly, even though he seemed indifferent.

“And the only person who can decide that is… Princess Fenia.”

At Zigs’s words, there was silence again in the left.

The eyes of more than fifty students poured on Princess Fenia. On the other side, escort captain Claire’s worried gaze burned Fenia’s back.

Above all else, he understood Claire’s gaze, who was concerned only with the safety of the princess. However, it was not the way of the princess to sit still and wait for help.

“We’re going in. If there’s something different from what we expected, we’re going to retreat.”

The reaction of the left to the princess’s words was divided.

The escort captain Claire, the cowardly Clevis, and the other conservative students sighed, while the belligerent students laughed.

“However, not all students can enter. If everyone enters hastily, it will only increase damage… It is correct to go with people who can safely protect themselves.”

In any case, ordinary students will be wiped out by lieutenant spirits, let alone high spirits. There is no reason to take them all and increase the amount of damage.

“The members gathered around here, my escort, Claire, the heads of each grade department, and the class A students enter. They all have proven their skills.”

“Then there is no need for the princess to go, is there?”

“No, I’ll accompany you.”

Claire’s complexion changed seriously at the sound of a blue sky, but the princess shook her head.

“It’s absurd not to be on the front lines of a topic that’s just being docile and giving orders.”

“Princess. The princess’ body is not unique to the princess. As a escort, it is impossible not to stop her.”

“Don’t worry. Claire. I haven’t neglected my magic training either. Also, please bring Taylor and Ayla along. The two of you must have been around the outside of the Student Union while searching for the students, so they probably know a little bit about the inside situation.”

With this, the subjugation team members were definitely decided. Sadly, there are no high school members. Except for Claire, who is an adult, all of them are first-year students.

However, if you look at the faces of the members, each one is a talented person. First of all, these first-year students are exceptionally strong. It’s really unfortunate that ‘Lucy the lazy’ didn’t join because his whereabouts are unclear, but even a few high schoolers wouldn’t be able to hand out a business card.

“The entrance will be in an hour later. Everyone, prepare and prepare your mind.”

Everyone nodded at the princess’s words.

“Princess! Princess Penia!”

At that moment, breaking the solemn atmosphere, a student jumped in.

“Identification of the number of people remaining in the faculty building has been completed”

A male student with reddish brown hair broke through the barricades and came to the front of the princess. As it is a sudden crisis, identifying key personnel is key.

time is time Most of the time it was time to return to the living wing, so there weren’t many people who stayed in the teaching wing and were trapped in the barricade ceremony. Thanks to this, if we gathered all the information the students gathered here, we managed to get an overall estimate of the number of people.

The male student in charge of the investigation began to report quickly, gasping for breath.

“The students of the Alchemy Department, who were researching reagents at the Tanez Magic Supplies Storage, began to sit down on their own. Most of them are third-year students, so I don’t think there is any need to worry.”

“And?”

“It is said that the faculty and staff who were in charge of locking the door and managing the building are well gathered in the Audrey Hall. However, they say that they lack the power to respond to spirits because they are general faculty members.”

“Do you need help?”

“I heard that Professor Carly is in charge of that. However, joining itself seems to be difficult.”

It was time for most of the professors to return to the living quarters, but it seems that there were one or two remaining professors.

However, it would be difficult to manage and protect those many ordinary faculty and staff. The distance between the Audrey Hall and this student square is quite a bit of money. However, it would not be possible to leave the faculty and staff there.

“That side will also go in the direction of the sit-down.”

“Yeah, it looks like we’re moving in a direction that minimizes damage. I wouldn’t make a judgment that exposes general managerial staff to risk for nothing.”

“It seems that we are the only ones who actually have the conditions to enter the student center.”

The princess made her decision again. In any case, this student square is located right in front of the student center, which is the center of the problem. This was the only group that could respond to the situation more quickly than anyone else.

“Other than that, no other students have been identified…”

“…there is!”

A girl’s voice echoed loudly from one side of the barricade formed east, west, north and south.

In an instant, the group’s eyes focused on it. A first-year girl who was clenching her fists tightly around her chest as if anxiously closed her eyes and shouted.

“Sorry, I’m sorry… The atmosphere was so solemn… I couldn’t speak.”

“Please explain in detail.”

“I’m… My name is Tishika of the apprentice librarian who manages the student library… Actually, I have a friend I left behind at the student library.”

The girl’s distorted face looked painful. It looked like he was trying to confess something hard.

“Originally, we would come together to finish the closing of the library, but as of today, one reader didn’t go out until just before closing time. The friend will wait and finish, so I was the first to go back to the living quarters… It was the way I was going home first.”

“Then it means that one librarian and one reader are isolated in the student library. Hang on… Librarian?”

Ziggs, who had been listening to the story in the corner, stood up. Then he approached the girl who was struggling to keep up the conversation, looked straight into her eyes and spoke.

“What is the name of that librarian, your friend?”

“Elka. Elka Islan.”

Sweaty and avoiding her gaze, the girl spat out the name with difficulty.

As soon as he saw the name, Ziggs’ pupils trembled for a moment.

“Elka… you say…? Are you sure? Aren’t you confused?”

“Yes… we are learning magic book management in the apprentice librarian class together…”

Ziggs clenched his fists and smashed the barricade behind the girl. The startled girl closed her eyes and stepped backwards, and the wooden benches and barricades made of decorative materials collapsed effortlessly.

“shit! Princess Penny. We have to go get them right now.”

“Ziggs?”

“Elka is well versed in magic book management and magic circle research, but she lacks the strength to defend herself. First of all, I am an aspiring student. If you leave it alone, you will most likely be attacked by the spirits who are running rampant.”

Ziggs strode back to the center of the garrison, and knelt before Princess Fenia.

“I need to go to the student library right now and get it.”

“Ziggs Ebelstein. You know you’re acting too emotional right now?”

However, the answer came from somewhere else, in the direction of ‘Golden Daughter Lortel’.

“The distance to the student library takes a long time even if you sprint, but you have to go through the spirits. I have no idea how much time it will take. Rather than that, we should prioritize suppressing Yenika-senpai, who is the root cause of the situation.”

A calm and assertive tone. An infinitely realistic solution.

He is polite and calm towards superiors, but merciless towards those who are equal or inferior.

It is natural for Lortel, who has lived in the cold reality of the Elte Company.

“I am well aware that you are attached to Elka, Ziggs. But you have to understand the weight of the work.”

Elka Islan.

She was like a savior to the ‘Spear of Plants Jigs’ who lived a life at the tip of a spear.

As a descendant of a nomadic people of the north, a girl who affirmed and supported the life of Ziggs, who had only walked the bloody road since she was young.

The girl who taught Ziggs, who had given up that way, that she could no longer lead a normal life, what it was like to be human.

I always remembered sitting in the staff seat of the student library’s reading room, and smiling from the gap in the thick magic book. Because of her, Ziggs was able to lay down the life of a bloodthirsty monster.

Losing her smile that gave her a new life is more frightening for Ziggs than losing her life.

“Ugh…”

However, there is an irresistible persuasiveness in Lortel’s words, which are extremely rational and realistic.

Although a cunning and greedy merchant, her words are always justified. It was a human named Lortel.

“Calm down, Ziggs. I’m too emotional for you. There is some truth to what Lortel said.”

Among the only three members of Class A, the spear of vegetation, Jigs was always the calmest person.

Lucy, the eccentric, and the suspicious and unbelievable Lortel. Unlike the two, he is always just, common-sense, and communicative. Zigs’s stable behavior is enough to make the saying, ‘If it’s Ziggs, you can trust it,’ is a buzzword among first-year students.

A look that is strangely different from that. Even if it wasn’t the princess’s insight, I could infer how precious Elka was to Ziggs.

“And, as Tishka just said, there is one more student in the student library. How about trusting that student for now?”

“That’s… uh…”

Clearly, there is Yenica, the cause of all the problems, in the student union right in front of you, and it is too selfish to leave it and run to the student library.

Ziggs was also well aware of that fact, so he could not refute the princess’s words.

“Obviously, you said there were other students, right? Tishica.”

“That… that…”

Without making eye contact, Tishica takes a step backwards in sweat.

Princess Fenia felt a certain kind of anxiety attacking the back of her head.

“Now, are you hiding something?”

“I… that… uh…”

It was Ziggs who left her seat before the princess and got up.

Ziggs strode to Tishica again, and grabbed her by the collar.

“Tell me right now!”

“Ugh… uh… sorry, sorry…!”

Only then, with tears in her eyes, Tishica knelt down. The sacrament of confession continues.

“Ed…it was Ed Rothtailer.”

As the name was mentioned, an ominous silence, which seemed to sink into the depths of the sea, lingered in the audience.

“The man was sitting on his bed until late at night, so he didn’t want to talk and was so annoyed… You all know…! What kind of human Ed Roth Taylor is! So I just left it to Elka and left. Since Elka doesn’t care about rumors like that… in the first place, she doesn’t even know who Ed Roth Taylor is, so she thinks it’ll be fine…”

It was a feeling of guilt that kept the girl in a corner. The fact that he had pushed his friend into a limb was too heavy.

“I guess that’s why, Elka just let me go… just, that’s why… I’m so sorry… that… ugh…”

From the corner of Ziggs’ head, there was the sound of a string of patience breaking.

Ed Roth Taylor.

Ziggs also came in after passing the entrance exam, so he saw the ugliness of that human with his own two eyes.

– ‘Let go of this! Don’t you know who I am?! Ed Roth Taylor, the second son of the Roth Taylor family! Get your dirty hands away, pigs! Where are you touching your body!’

– ‘Do you think I’m going to do something like that to insult a dirty failing student or something? let this go! What are the dirty and ignorant commoners babbling about what they know!’

– ‘Taley? Ha…. The low-ranking, low-ranking student Bogeoji is still alive.’

Luxury and pleasure, pride and indolence, and incompetence.

He was a pathetic person who showed the bottom of the ugly human figure. When an opportunity comes, he uses any ally as a means of abandonment, and does not even think about the grace he has received, and is like selfishness itself.

It was obvious what the students gathered at the garrison had to say without even listening to them.

“Ed? That Ed Roth Taylor? So it’s not a big deal, is it?”

“The rumors about that person are really ugly and pathetic.”

“Then the librarian is alone with such a person in this situation?”

“That…”

A berserk spirit occupies the entire street, and it is dangerous to leave the room, let alone outside the building.

The fact that the cruel Ed Roth Taylor and Elka are in such a situation.

I don’t think anything good will ever happen. In extreme situations, Elka, who has no power, may be used as a dump by Ed Roth-Taylor, or, in the end, may touch her fragile body.

Ziggs has clear convictions about the human nature of Ed. Hearing rumors also added credibility.

The fact that Elka’s fate was in the hands of such a writer completely blew up Ziggs’ reasoning.

“Right Now. I will go to the student library.”

Anger beyond its limits is cold rather than hot.

With a calm, subdued voice, Ziggs gave a ‘notice’.

The person who received the notice was the ‘Princess Penny of Charity’, who even respects the principal Obel.

What that meant was clear. It is to reject the stigma.

“You are not keeping the good, Ziggs Eiffelstein.”

Her escort captain Claire was the first to step out. However, Ziggs doesn’t care.

No one can subdue the vegetation spear Jigs in the current situation without the indolent Lucy. Even Claire, who is a member of the Royal Guard, cannot guarantee how many points he will be able to withstand against him.

Along with the lazy Lucy and the golden daughter Lortel, he is the best sorcerer in the first year, recognized by Professor Glast for his skills alone.

In the land of the nomadic peoples in the north, they lived with human blood already on their hands when they were mature.

He, who has always lived at the crossroads of life and death, can’t catch up with anyone as far as ‘a sense of practicality’.

If the indolent Lucy is a tank or fighter that cannot be stopped by her own strength, the spear of vegetation is like a well-trained special agent for the rest of her life. In terms of its power and scale, it may be terribly pushed, but it fully demonstrates its power in specialized fields.

Not to mention the field, it is a thorough face-to-face duel situation without the intervention of external factors.

“Anyone who prevents me from leaving, I will subdue everyone.”

“I can’t do that.”

Golden’s daughter Lortel chanted the spell. In an instant, the moisture in the atmosphere freezes, creating a huge ice spear in the air. It was the intermediate magic ‘Ice Spear’ that blew up the ceiling of the nail salon.

Two students with the best grades in Sylvania’s first-year Ministry of Magic. Ziggs and Lortel stared at each other. It was a sight that could not be easily seen.

There was tension in the eyes of the gathered students. The gathered students swallowed dry saliva in unison, and were nervous at the sudden, extreme situation.

“I’ll admit what I have to admit, Ziggs. You have the largest share of power among those gathered at the garrison right now. If you fall out of the subjugation squad, the chances of success of the operation plummet. I’m sorry, but you must never leave your seat.”

“It’s funny, Lortel. If you hold me down like that, will I be able to cooperate properly?”

“You have lost your temper now. I know the feeling of cherishing Elka, but at least we have to distinguish between public and private life. Look over there.”

If you look at the place where Lortel’s head is headed, you can see Glaskan’s summoning ceremony, which gradually turns dark red, and all kinds of spirit beasts occupying the student center.

“Leave that one, and where are you going?”

Lortel looked straight into Ziggs’ eyes. Lortel hated the eyes burning with that passion.

Passion, ardor, spirit, loyalty, vigor, blood, strong will. Lortel detested such words popping up in an emergency. It is a word often used as an excuse by those who are dominated by emotions and cannot make rational judgments.

As a matter of fact, human beings must be rational and cool-headed. No matter how much you are in a predicament and no matter how harsh the external circumstances are, you must make the right decision without being deceived by wrong emotions.

Such a person is truly a trustworthy person.

No matter how great his magical ability and how strong his power is, he will not give up his trust unless he has a strong heart. It was the first great principle that Lortel kept while walking the path of Sangdo.

“I can’t beat you, Ziggs, in a face-to-face match like this. Even so, if you face each other with all your might, you won’t end up hurting either.”

“ね…”

Ziggs is superior to Lortel when it comes to fighting skills. However, Lortel is not an easy opponent either. You will have to exchange sums with a whistle for a long time. Time is time, and the body will not end without injury.

It is too much pressure for Ziggs, who has to go through the spirits to the library. But Ziggs shook his head.

“If you think so, I have no intention of making concessions either.”

So there was a subtle air current between the two. It was the moment right before a big fight was about to start, if you took even one step forward, the battle was about to begin.

“What are we going to do when we split up, now!”

In the end, Princess Penia, who had reached the limit, shouted.

“But, Princess Penia! That’s Ed Roth Taylor…!”

But even more desperately than that, Ziggs’ reply came back. The words of Ziggs, which started almost as if they were screaming at him, were strangely wet at the end.

Now, with a face completely desperate, he spoke with half weeping. I can’t see the appearance of ‘The Spear of Plants Jigs’, which was always evaluated as a solid and reliable person among first-year students.

“If anything happens to Elka, I really… I don’t know how to live.”

The tone of the emotion shifted from anger to sadness and earnestness.

Such a reaction was not expected even by Princess Phenia.

He rebuked Jigs, who was coldly furious, and tried to regain control of the situation. However, the inner side of Ziggs, which was now completely desperate, was clearly visible in the insight of the princess.

That heart is more desperate than those who face their own death. For Ziggs, Elka is really like family.

“However…”

The sincere desperation makes Princess Fenia stutter. The mouth opens, but no sound comes out of the throat.

“That author named Ed Roth Taylor. Don’t you know the princess too well…!”

Do you know the princess too well?

At those words, Princess Fenia could not nod her head.

I don’t really know anything in the first place.

When I think of Ed Roth Taylor, the flow of thoughts becomes more complicated, and even the obvious facts seem to be hidden in the fog.

The various images of the inner human being, which have always been clearly visible, cannot be outlined when entering the man’s inner world.

What else is the situation?

An extreme crisis situation where nothing can be guaranteed right now.

The reality is that every minute and every second is precious. Glaskan’s summoning circle is getting darker and red, and the safety of the students cannot be guaranteed, but all the people gathered are looking up to themselves to make a decision.

decision maker and responsible person. He realized the weight of the tag that followed the back of the monarch for the rest of his life, and, nevertheless, clenched his teeth in order to remain strong.

Before long, the remnants of an unclear reality that made her dizzy again drove her into a corner.

“still…”

All eyes of the garrison were focused on Princess Fenia and Ziggs. The urgency of the situation, complicated brains, people waiting for judgment, positions of responsibility, and mistakes in judgment can lead to loss of life, but there is nothing to say.

The sound of a bonfire. The back of a boy who roughly tapped the fire with poker. He looked straight into the eyes of the princess without any emotional ups and downs. The words that penetrated the heart of the princess as she opened the door to the training room.

The ugly face during the entrance exam crawling on the floor, the back view of the princess passing the princess with a senseless face and chasing Taylor. The inside that doesn’t reveal anything clearly.

Fenia’s reason, driven to a corner, makes him spit out words. The direction that Princess Penia’s sixth sense pointed to was clear until the very end.

“But… once… to trust that man… what…?”

Silence again on the left.

They all stood in silence for a long time without saying a word.

It was the expressions of those who saw such an absurd sight, as if saying that the sun rises in the west, of course.

“why…”

But. Ziggs lamented.

“Why are you being so cruel? The Princess of Charity I know is not the one who would say such irresponsible things… is it not?”

To Jigs, the words of Princess Fenia to believe in the man seemed only to be the cause of ignoring Jigs’ opinion.

“I… I will go.”

Ziggs shook his head and headed towards the garrison exit.

“Where are you going…!”

“Lortel.”

The person who raised her hand to stop Lortel, who was trying to catch Ziggs, was unexpectedly Princess Penia. I was in the middle of an absurd talk about trusting Ed just a moment ago.

To be honest, I couldn’t understand why even Princess Fenia said that.

“Just, send it.”

“Princess.”

“However, you take responsibility for the results yourself, Ziggs.”

There are too many things to be concerned about right now. Princess Fenia’s mind was already pushed to the limit.

“I will go back and pay for all my sins.”

Jiggs, who only then understood, turned his body again and bowed his head politely. He fully understands how selfish his choices are. Even so, if she goes to rescue Elka, Princess Phenia cannot stop her belief.

With that, Ziggs slowly raised his head and left the garrison with a stern face.

“Princess Penny.”

Watching the sight of Ziggs’ back slowly moving away, Lortel called Princess Fenia.

Princess Penia slowly turned her head. There, there was Lortel, who was looking at Princess Fenia with a rather dignified look.

As for what Lortel would think, Princess Fenia was able to predict what she would think, even if it wasn’t her unique insight.

As an utterly realist, she will most likely condemn Princess Fenia’s decision. I would say that even if someone gets hurt and hurt, you should never let him leave.

With that in mind, I faced Lortel with a heavy heart.

However, Lortel smiled rather.

“If you think about it, it may have been necessary to respect his opinion.”

“Lortel.”

“It must have been a decision that the princess also made after much deliberation. In any case, his will was also sublime, so we can’t just judge it right or wrong.”

Lortel spoke so coolly, as if she didn’t care about the tense duel situation up until now, and affirmed Princess Fenia.

“Anyway, if there is no change in the policy of entering the student center within an hour, we should start preparing for the subjugation. I’ll take a break and check my body. Princess Penia, please also rest in peace.”

Greeting politely with a graceful smile, Lortel Keheln passed Princess Fenia.

Even though the situation didn’t go the way he thought it would, the way he cheers the princess and walks away is indeed a model for a servant.

But to the princess, she looked smart.

A deep sense of disillusionment resided within the woman who encouraged the princess with a sincere smile.

The moment Lortel passed by like that, Princess Penia had an intuition.

From the beginning, his compatibility with Lortel was not good, but from now on, it feels like there has been a gap that cannot be bridged with Lortel.

Even if the world turns upside down, I am convinced that that girl will never affirm herself.

That fact, I had a certain intuition that pierced my bones.

“…I’ll get some rest, Claire.”

Saying so to her loyal escort, she leaned back near the barricade in the corner of the garrison. Claire nodded and looked around with a stout look.

In that way, the tense situation at the garrison was ended.

The ‘lazy Lucy’ with the greatest power cannot even know its whereabouts.

One of the most important forces, the ‘Spear of Plants Jigs’, left the garrison altogether.

The most realistic and rational ‘Golden Daughter Lortel’ was completely hostile to herself emotionally.

Nevertheless, the only person who can hold the center of these students is himself.

In such a situation, the princess hid behind a barricade that could not be seen and hugged her knees.

Anyway, the garrison had an atmosphere to take a break for now. A strong spirit is not attacking you right away, so you will have time to check your body and equipment as long as you are a good watchman.

At least in the corner of the garrison where the tension was relieved, in a place that no one knew about, Princess Fenia thought a little bit about it.

Those words were something that a person with the ruler’s business card should never utter in his lifetime.

“It’s hard for me too.”

Even though he is impatient in case anyone hears it, it will eventually seep out of his mouth.

“Me too, it’s hard…”

She is a girl who has never been fooled by anyone in her life.

It’s sad, but even uttering those small words had to be accompanied by a sense of guilt.

The time of subjugation is approaching.

Raise your head and look at the sky.

Glaskan’s summoning circle, which dazzled the night sky, was wildly adding to its light.

“Heh heh, heh heh…”

I was completely exhausted and sat down on the pavement.

Has it been around 2 hours since Phase 1 started? Holding on to the stigmas of the spirits gathered around the student library and traces of elements… Intermittently, the proficiency of the spirit-based skills was rising.

After wiping off the sweat and looking at the magic ability details window, satisfaction began to rise. If you can use the spirit ceremony, you will be able to apply spirit-based magic to arrows. In fact, it can make a breakthrough in terms of combat power.

“Wow, but… that’s really tough…”

It’s a shame because I’ve been training diligently… There were some really dangerous moments in the middle because of the endless winds when I caught them.

Looking around, the spirits around the student library had already been cleaned up. Traces of the blades of the wind that were continuously shot, and debris burned by the ignition magic were also scattered around. Still, if you wait a little, a new one will come.

“Whoa… you should set the Spirit Sensitivity as close to level 10 as possible. That way, you can sign a contract with the spirit… If it’s not now, there’s no chance that such a golden opportunity will come again, so let’s work hard. mm.”

You can’t miss this golden time.

“Uhhh… not yet, it’s not the limit…”

Anyway, the key to training is to push yourself to the limit. Isn’t this a fact that everyone knows if they’ve done some ironing at the gym?

Don’t be sluggish, hold on to the extreme until your whole body really runs out of strength. At that level, there will be some significant stat changes.

I saw a new group of spirits coming up. I got up from my seat full of fighting. This is not an opportunity that comes easily. It is training and training until the moment when the real body is exhausted.
