Student Council President Election (8)
– Tap, tap, tap.
In the huts of the Lamelen Mountains, there was always the sound of burning firewood.
Push the soft blanket up to the bridge of the nose.
Lucia was always lying around somewhere and sleeping. It’s not common to wear things like bedding on your body.
However, the unusual situation in which the duvet was wrapped tightly is because he caught a cold.
She was destined to become a master of magic in the future, but now she is just a girl who has just entered puberty.
All the girls of that age are like that.
When it rains, it’s okay to stay in the corner of the hut, but it’s common to catch a cold while shooting openly in the mountains.

My magical ability, which is growing at an unbelievable speed, is still in a transitional stage, so I can’t help but be able to completely protect myself from the surrounding environment.
There was an old man pounding the bonfire with poker.
Only the back view is visible.
However, looking at the bent back and curled shoulders, he is a dwarf old man who sees the twilight of life.
It is said that there was clearly a heyday. Of course, this was before Lucy was even born.
He traveled around the continent to study all kinds of high-ranking magic, recruited numerous disciples, met loved ones, raised a family, made a name for himself in the academic world, became the first leader in subjugating high-ranking monster tribes, and visited the imperial court several times. said to have been approved.
It is said that life was sprinting along the wide open road with all his might.
I evaluate myself as a life that has achieved more than anyone else as much as I ran without looking back.
However, the final years of the Archmage were coming to an end at the edge of the mountain range where no one went.
what happened, and what happened.
Countless disciples and loved ones aren’t there… He’s alone in the hut, making a bonfire.
The only relationship he had left… There was only one girl who could even be called a disciple.
– ‘Originally, lying around in the rain makes you sick and that’s it.’
– ‘You will soon become an unmatched strong wizard.’
– ‘The time will surely come when the feeling of pain will also become a distant memory that I felt only in the distant past.’
– ‘It’s going to become less and less rare to lie down like this, or try to get hurt directly on the body like this.’
It’s unclear how deeply the foolish Lucy understands the reason for saying such a thing.
Still, Gloct placed significance on the words themselves.
– ‘Life becomes boring because of innate abilities, or everything seems meaningless,’
– ‘People who are lacking… You will meet so many people who devote their whole lives to the things you do so easily and simply.’
– ‘So, keep that feeling right now.’
The day will come when even the feeling of pain will become a distant memory that you’ve only felt in the distant past.
It would be impossible to know what that fact meant to Lucy today, but… at least he knew that Glockt wanted to convey something.
Even those memories were already deposited in the distant past.
– shoot
Spring rain hits the skin
Crossing the rose garden of the Ophelis Hall, maids and students who have completely hardened while imprisoned in time prison are lined up like stone statues.
Lucy, who staggered and walked between them, looked up at the sky, clutching her hat. The pouring rain presses heavily on my body.
Few people know, but Lucy respects and recognizes those who are zealous for life despite their indolent nature. They just don’t tease them or help them, and never look down on criminals or denigrate them as meaningless beings.
Needless to say, it’s Gloct’s influence.
If you live while walking through the Lamelen Mountains with half-open eyes, you have no choice but to watch the old man’s enthusiasm for life with his own two eyes.
He is a person who put down all the achievements he had accumulated during his long life and became a dwarf and ugly old man and tried to live every day worthwhile even though he was left alone in the mountains.
When he came to think of it, the reason he had feelings for him more than favor him must have been because he admitted in his heart that he was holding onto his life even though he was in a predicament.
At least he wasn’t a man worthy of dying in vain.
“…a liar idiot.”
Did you ever say that if one day you become a powerful wizard, the feeling of being sick and having a hard time will also become a forgotten memory of the distant past?
However, it is the ‘pain’ that has been forgotten and lived up to the chest.
A precious thing that only grows bigger after losing it is what is truly valuable.
Lucy already knows this from experience.
And, I didn’t want to experience it twice.
There was nothing special about the times when I sat around a campfire and savored grilled fish, or lying on Ed’s lap reading a book and staring blankly at the sky.
But he probably wouldn’t have known… that those things were truly valuable.
How fragile is the human being.
He was gifted with such great talent that he can handle all kinds of high-level magic like limbs, and even historical geniuses shake their heads…
It is truly ironic that just the death of one person can be so painful and painful.
– Kwaang!
At that moment, a huge explosion occurred at the feet of Lucy, who was trudging towards the main entrance of the Ophelis Hall.
A huge amount of smoke rose and the hot heat covered the whole area, but Lucy blew away all the aftermath with a single wave of her hand.
“It was a number of conversions in my own way.”
What kind of people did Lucy subdue just by walking to the main gate of the Ophelis Hall?
Bell Maia, the maid of the Ophelis Hall, Patriciana Bloomriver, the 4th grade magic department, Dorothy Whitepelz, the 4th grade alchemy department chief, Drake Reegus, the 3rd grade combat team chief Drake Reigus, and up to 14 senior maids.
If he had dealt with that amount of power alone with a body without a single scratch, no one could stop Lucy, at least inside this Ophelis Hall.
The girl who stopped Lucy right now must also be well aware that there is no victory.
The second-year senior pensioner, Elvira the meddling.
Armed with all sorts of tech supplies, alchemy reagents, and basic magic, she… her actual combat abilities aren’t even that great compared to other senior students.
“I thought you were a bit more rational, Lucy.”
“…”
Lucy’s two cold eyes gazed at Elvira, who was standing guarding the entrance.
“No, actually, do you still maintain your rationality to some extent?”
The magic orb that fills the sky of the Ophelis Hall, the maids who were imprisoned in time prison and suppressed, and a rose garden full of magic that Lucy gave.
It seems that they are playing a nonsensical match, but there was a clear ‘line’ in Lucy’s runaway.
Unnecessary vandalism has been suppressed to some extent, and of course there are no casualties. If he really loses his temper, he seems willing to smash the Ophelis coffin, but that’s still left as a last resort.
The students of Ophelis Hall are in the midst of escaping. The last maids are the center, running out through the back door.
Elvira… If she could bind Lucy’s feet, even for a moment, that was enough.
“Move.”
But, was even that arrogant?
It was just an act of waving his arm once, as if he were removing a leaf that was blocking his view in the forest.
With that alone, an amount of magical power that Elvira couldn’t possibly handle hit her body.
It’s not even magic. It is nothing more than a physical force that simply embodies magical power and pushes it.
However, Elvira’s body was put out to the side of the flower bed.
“Oh, black!”
The difference in power was sufficiently well recognized.
Elvira’s real purpose was to set up magic equipment near the front door.
From noblemtl.com
Magical power surged with a click, and magical powers surged from the space hidden behind the pillar at the entrance.
You cannot defeat Lucy with simple power. In that case, we have no choice but to rely on compatibility and laws.
Even Lucy, who is born with great power, cannot be free from the providences of the world.
When it rains, it gets wet, and when the wind blows, the collar flies. As the temperature drops, it becomes colder, and the boiling water evaporates in time.
Only God can be freed from such providences that form the foundation of the world. Even if it’s an aspect magic that twists and breaks providence, it can’t be free from the basic principle of magic.
So, Elvira decided to ‘evaporate’ the entire magical power.
As soon as the back of the pillar at the entrance came into view, it was only then that all the magic equipment Elvira had brought into Lucy’s eyes. These were the items brought from the secret lab, packed full of large backpacks.
There seem to be dozens. It is impossible to say their names one by one. That’s a huge amount.
“Ugh!”
Elvira, who had fallen out, gently wiped her lips and stood up, then gathered all her weak magical powers to express a new magic.
When he raises his hand in the direction of Lucy and grabs it tightly, the various magic equipment installed starts running rampant at once.
Krex Power Separator, Noise Maker, Elemental Regression Stimulator, Rake Hand, Pulse Sphere, Illusion Disc, Catlan Power Purifier….
After entering Sylvania, the various magical engineering supplies that he had been researching every time he spent were the essence of Elvira’s academic life.
All kinds of magic tools have different uses. There were a lot of things that didn’t really fit in this situation, and were not tech supplies for combat in the first place.
However, Elvira’s purpose is not to ‘utilize’ magic equipment for its intended purpose.
All of them are precious inventions like my own blood… Elvira, without hesitation, ran the ‘Crex Magic Separator’ in front of them.
Alchemy, one of the branches of magic, is a specialty specialized in the scientific analysis of the nature of magic itself.
The ‘understanding of magic’ differs from the wizards who wield magic with only innate sensitivity. It could also be called the specialization of Elvira, the head of the pension department.
“Where… you can see through this too…!”
Elvira took out the ‘Crimson Crystal Reagent’ from her bosom and threw it.
Lucy, who reacted quickly, burst the reagent bottle in the air by clenching her hand, but the purpose was to spray the reagent in the first place.
Elvira, who achieved her desired purpose, quickly jumped out of the back of the flower bed.
– Googong, bang! thud!
The Crimson Crystal Reagent is a lubricant that temporarily increases the fluidity of magical power itself.
Naturally, magical power is required to activate magic equipment. However, it is not easy to inject one’s own magical power into a specific object.
The simple structure of the magic equipment doesn’t consume that much magic power, but the more complex and difficult the structure, the more it consumes a significant amount of magic power.
The original purpose of the Crimson Crystal Reagent is to change the flow of magic to make it more sensitive to use such tech equipment.
Even with the same amount of magical power, if it is affected by the Crimson Crystal Reagent, it will be able to be injected into the magic equipment more smoothly.
Although it is only a kind of auxiliary reagent, it is a useful item for alchemists in its own way.
Of course, Elvira’s intention for throwing the Crimson Crystal reagent was completely different now.
– Coogong, coogong, coogong!
The runaway ‘Crex Magic Separator’ begins to absorb the magic of the surrounding area.
It is a device that acts as a ‘circuit’ that absorbs magical energy from its surroundings and provides it efficiently to the connected magic equipment.
However, if it overloads and runs rampant, it becomes a monster that eats up the surrounding magical power at will.
If the connected magic equipment works normally, the runaway will also stop, but the problem is that the magic equipment connected to the magic separator is connected to all the magic equipment that Elvira has devoted her whole life to.
Time was running out, so I couldn’t even connect it while calculating the magic efficiency properly. I just pushed the circuit into a rough scramble.
However, that was it. In the first place, ‘normal operation’ is not the purpose of Elvira.
The real purpose is to absorb the magical power itself.
Lucy’s magical energy, lubricated by the crimson crystal reagent, began to be sucked into the magic equipment at an uncontrollable speed.
All kinds of magic equipment start running rampant around the Magic Separator.
It exploded, created illusions, and made a lot of noise, making the rose garden noisy.
All kinds of lights shining brightly, emitting smoke, and radiating magic power… It’s like a huge magic factory.
It is a magical engineering device that randomly connects circuits in a mess. The horsepower efficiency is almost at the bottom.
Even a genius wizard would not be able to handle that level of magical power alone.
Yes. If you can’t compete with the power of magic, it’s the alchemist’s way to compete with the law.
Unfortunately, however, the opponent was a strong force that surpassed even the law.
– Wrath!
In a situation where the magic power was being sucked in in an instant, Lucy’s choice was not to somehow seize the power that was escaping out of control… but rather to radiate it.
Rather than being able to handle the influx of magical powers, the runaway magic equipment began to explode one by one.
– Bang, quaang!
-Kwagang, Kwaggagang!
Against the backdrop of a girl who is standing still with her hat in the background, the magic supplies that Elvira has dedicated her life to are bursting out all at once.
“Mi… are you crazy…”
Elvira took a deep breath and wiped away the wound.
Even if it wasn’t exact, I was able to roughly calculate the amount of mana that would go into when all of those magic equipment exploded.
However, the unit is astronomical. It is not at a level that can be expected scientifically.
Lucy’s eyes looking back in the explosion are quite dainty.
It seemed that he didn’t even show any emotions, but that’s why he could see that all sorts of emotions were swirling in it.
It’s impossible to stop that girl. Yes. This is the ‘realm of the impossible’.
It’s stupid to put your head on the impossible.
You automatically take a step backwards in the fear of attacking you. But Elvira clenched her teeth and stood upright again.
“What happened… if we break down the entrance…!”
He tried to unleash the basic fire magic as it was, but with a single gesture of Lucy’s hand, Elvira was thrown straight to the floor and was subdued.
It was a moment that took less than a second.
“Oh, heck…!”
Elvira rolled down the marble floor covered in rain. As he fell, he bit his tongue, and a bitter taste of iron lingered on his lips.
After rolling right in front of Lucy, Lucy’s eyes looking down at Elvira were straight.
A primal fear overwhelms the body.
There is no murderous intent in Lucy’s eyes. Of course. Because they have no intention of causing harm to people. Never kill if you don’t need to.
However, a certain certainty that he could do it if necessary… lingered in Elvira’s mind.
It’s crazy to disturb this girl now.
From noblemtl.com
My brain was screaming like that.
But… Elvira’s hand stretched out through the rain and grabbed Lucy’s ankle.
“…”
Lucy didn’t say anything else.
Rather, it was Elvira who spoke first.
“If you go on… you’ll regret it…”
Is the mouth alive? Not so.
“I know it’s sad, but since the dead don’t come back just like this… I mean, please think about the people who left you…”
“…”
“Ed-senpai… wouldn’t have wanted something like this…”
It had been raining for a while.
The spring rain that falls with the sound of shoo-aah hits everything in the world equally.
“That’s… it’s for you to decide after meeting Tanya.”
It was the moment when Lucy, who was looking down at Elvira, was about to unleash the chronological constellation magic, ‘Time Prison’.
– Kaang!
It was a sword attack that was so fast that it was hard to follow it with the eyes, but he couldn’t cut Lucy.
However, it was possible to drop Elvira and Lucy apart.
When Inyeong (人影), who had dug in the gap in an instant, fired a sword once more towards Lucy, Lucy hurriedly hurriedly threw her body towards the rose garden and widened the distance.
Elvira was completely suppressed and it was difficult to control even my body.
He was just lying on the floor, trying to forcefully grab Lucy.
The man who stood up straight in front of such Elvira and held out his sword… spat out swear words.
“I’m really… a crazy bastard. He’s crazy…!”
Still, his long, gloomy hair is wet from the rain, making him look even more gloomy. The dark circles on the eyelids were trembling.
2nd Year Combat Team Chief, Clevius Nortondale.
He was a boy who could not control the blood of the sword demon, so he killed his own brother and was abandoned by the family and led a gloomy life.
“That… monster… how… what should I do… look at me… X-arms… Dogs… X-arms…!”
The power gap is overwhelming.
None of the students at the Sylvania Academy can beat Lucy Meirill.
When a hundred people see it, it is an ordeal that all a hundred people would define as impossible. Running away is the correct answer.
There were many opportunities to escape. Lucy wasn’t even against him. At first, Clevius’s temper was not strong enough that Lucy regarded him as an enemy.
Clevius lived the life of a fugitive.
Always running away from the fate engraved in my name, from trials, and from the curse of blood, I became accustomed to being called a coward.
It will be the same this time. Anyone can see that running away is the right answer. None of those who ran away would be blamed.
Nevertheless, Clevius drew his sword.
All the students of the Ophelis Hall have not yet evacuated. Even the maids couldn’t finish everything.
Yes. It is foolish to try to do the impossible.
The sentence that must have been constantly recollected in his heart comes back to Clevius’ heart.
In the eyes of a pathetic loser who has lived a life of fugitive life, the panoramic view of the rose garden does not fall off.
The numerous statues in the rose garden are traces of the defeated. Yes, they are all losers.
In the face of a huge disaster called Lucy Meirl, they are fools who jumped in even though they had a foreboding of defeat.
This guy and that guy are all stupid assholes. They are the ones who can’t live up to their name while running after romantic words like the duty to protect the students and justice.
The girl alchemist lying behind is no different.
Even if I was the head of the pension department in my second year, it was impossible to stop such a monster alone… I must have known well myself.
However, the feet do not fall off. It’s not someone else’s feet, it’s my own feet, but my feet don’t listen.
“Wow… this place… I can’t pass… You X-armed bastard…!!”
You can’t win in the first place If that’s the case, I don’t know if I can take the time.
Clevius screamed evil and charged Lucy with his sword.
The body of Clevius soaring like a hawk went towards Lucy,
– Whiwing
And then, with a single gesture of Lucy’s hand, he goes out and falls.
Clevius’ body, unable to withstand the magic bullet, received a huge shock as it was, and flew toward the flower bed and rolled over.
This time too, it took less than a second to come to a conclusion.
“This… oh my… stupid… Clevius…!!”
The fallen Elvira clenched her teeth and looked only at the smoke rising from the flower bed.
Lucy let out a small sigh and looked at Elvira…
It was crazy to block the road ahead.

– Kaang! Kaang!
– Wrath!
The Ziggs Eiffelstein can handle almost any type of weapon. He was a boy with abilities that would not be strange even if he entered the combat club in the first place.
What he was wielding now was a ceremonial rapier that was adorned above the fireplace. It was to use the ceremonial rapier swordsmanship that the Islan family had learned, and the applied movement with their own interpretation.
Embarrassed by the flying sword attack, Wade quickly took a defensive posture.
I thought a sword attack centered on stabbing would come, but there was more freedom than expected in Jigs’ movements.
‘No… this is…!’
It was difficult to find any gaps in Ziggs’ abilities that were not limited by weapons in the first place.
The life of a beast that roamed the northern steppes, and the life of learning the examples of aristocrats while accepting civilization in an Islamic mansion.
The swordsmanship that was completed by combining the two is extremely practical, but it is not completely separated from theory.
For Wade, who had mastered the swordsmanship of a nobleman to the limit, it was beyond a level that was difficult to deal with. It is a level that cannot be dealt with at all.
Wade is also a strong level that won’t go anywhere, but if you want to deal with him as a swordsman, you have to overturn the background of the martial arts you’ve been learning.
‘But… it’s not without gaps…!’
Saying that, it was the moment when he fired a sword at Ziggs’s side that suddenly opened up.
– Wrath!
– Kaang!
Ziggs tried to attack his side by taking advantage of the gap in Ziggs’ center of gravity, but Wade’s sword bounced off. Wade didn’t understand the situation for a moment. Ziggs was in a position where he could never deflect his sword.
However, I soon realized it.
It wasn’t Ziggs’ sword that deflected Wade’s sword, it was magic. The manifested wind blade blocked Wade’s attack.
In the first place, this gap was left on purpose. When I noticed that fact, it was already after I had been beaten in the neck with the handle of the sword.
“Hey, hey!”
Ziggs kicked Wade in the stomach. Wade, who rolled to the corner of the room and left… After coughing passionately a few times, he barely managed to get up.
“Are you going to do more?”
“Of course, Ziggs-senpai.”
Wade shut his mouth and stood up, glaring at Ziggs again. Only then did I realize the difference.
It was a strangely self-evident fact that I had forgotten.
Ziggs is… a wizard. Swordsmanship is only secondary.
When he realizes that fact, he realizes the difference between Ziggs and himself. Still, Wade chuckled and laughed.
“Do you think I’m going to give up like this? Ziggs-senpai.”
“…”
“Khhh hehe Like Ziggs-senpai, I have an opportunity to fight a powerful human in the Ministry of Magic like this, how can I give up so easily?”
Wade grinned and stood up again, holding the sword.
“A little more… please make me happy.”
Ziggs folded his arms and looked at Wade quietly. Then he slowly closed his eyes and opened them… and spoke slowly.
“You’re ugly, Wade. You’re not enjoying the game, you’re enjoying the win. Unless they have the potential to win to a certain extent, they won’t burn that kind of competition.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“In the beginning… you have a small bowl. Answer me. If you really want to fight a real strong man, there is no reason to pick me up from among the second-year magicians and compete with me. Isn’t it?”
The tip of the long rapier faces Wade again.
“The second-year head of the Magic Department is not me, it’s Lucy Meryl.”
Those words hit the core.
In the beginning, Ziggs had penetrated Wade’s innermost thoughts.
“It would be more convenient if we defined it as impossible and treated it as out of scope. There’s really no way I’m going to win. You can’t even win in the first place.”
“It’s… of course…”
“okay. That is your bowl.”
Ziggs’ sword strike was once again pierced by Wade’s sword.
“Ugh, uh…!”
Wade was in a state of daunting just defending. As they exchanged swords, Ziggs spoke while looking straight into Wade’s eyes.
“Put your hands tight. You cowardly bastard.”
It’s the first time I’ve seen Ziggs, who always looks so dignified, spit out swear words. Was that even part of the strategy to embarrass Wade?
Despite Ziggs’ warning in advance, the sword Wade was holding fell from his hand. It was because he kicked the sword while he was careless.
– Kagang, Kang!
As it was, Wade’s sword rolled around the air a few laps on the floor.
Ziggs’ rapier was pointed straight at Wade’s neck.
“Hey, this is…”
“Are you looking for an excuse? Or are you looking for a reason to admit defeat?”
As it was, Wade shook her pupils a few times.
There was nothing he could do but express his will to surrender. Because it is crazy to resist even in such an overwhelmingly pushed back situation.
There is no way to resist.
If you pretend to be crazy and lean in while grabbing the rapier’s sword face, or pick up a sword with the intention of getting stabbed somewhere, or if you’re willing to risk a fatal injury anyway… The methodologies are endless.
However, the more you rush here, the more wounds will only increase… Wade knew experientially terribly.
Wade, overcome by the fear, slowly raised both hands…
“Yeah… that’s your limit.”
– Kwaang!
– Wow!
It was then that the sound of a collapsing sound was heard from the entrance of the Ophelis Hall.
*
It was more like a bullet hit rather than a sword strike.
I couldn’t believe it had happened with just one sword strike.
The pillar supporting the entrance of the Ophelis Hall had completely collapsed.
– Whoops, whoops!
Smoke rises through the pouring rain.
At some point, the boy ran out of the flower bed and blood was already dripping from his head.
The figure blocking Lucy’s path once again… There is a delusion of what is called a human being.
Because of the bangs that were completely stuck in the rain, neither the expression nor the eyes could be seen at all.
It’s just that his leg was hurt… He was kneeling on one knee and holding the sword stuck in its sheath.
I can’t win anyway
If so, take your time.
There’s no guarantee it’ll work out just because it takes time.
I hope that even a superman with a white horse bullet will appear and sort it all out, but I feel like it’s in vain as well.
rain still falling. The entrance to the Ophelis Hall collapsed.
The sword demon who has become bloody seven and is holding the sword handle… is sitting quietly with his head bowed.
There is no swearing like usual, and even those who bumped into each other because they were scared are so quiet these days that it is creepy.
Time seemed to have completely stopped around the sword demon sitting in the silence…
Elvira, who had fallen down and watched, even forgot to breathe for a moment.
Where is Taylor….
