Episode 43 – I will ask you a favor.
43. Let me do you a favor.
[Pass!]
The last thing we saw was Class C throwing themselves under the flag.
On the first day of group evaluation, Lil Bgeus Breakthrough announced the end.
“Haaam… “It’s finally over.”
Leon, who had been dozing off, woke up stretching.
In the waiting room, all nine classes except Class C were looking at the screen.
“Oh! Leon! “You’re in first place, you’re in first place!”
As Carotene said, very excited.
In one corner of the screen, Class A stood proudly at the top.
‘If you do that and don’t come in first place, you’ll have to bite your tongue.’
Of course, it was a natural result, so Leon was perplexed.
Class A’s score was absolutely absolute.
It is more than 3 times more than the second place class B.
Class A’s passing record was roughly like this.
Level 1, Goblin Warrior, 3 seconds.
Stage 2, rapid crossing, 1 minute 50 seconds.
Level 3, Golem Knight, 2 minutes 35 seconds.
Level 4, Lizardmen Village, 3 minutes 12 seconds.
Stage 5, Demonic Beast Canyon, 8 minutes 58 seconds.
And the overall average record was like this.
Step 1, 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Step 2, 7 minutes 42 seconds.
Level 3, 13 minutes 20 seconds.
Level 4, 22 minutes 41 seconds.
Level 5, 25 minutes and 15 seconds.
In addition to this overwhelming time difference.
With several additional points added, Class A was in a solid lead.
The Class A cadets hugged each other’s shoulders and smiled broadly.
“Wow, the score is crazy.”
“I will take first place comfortably.”
“Let’s go have dinner.”
“After all, on a day like today, I eat meat…”
Is that why?
Behind the Class A cadets who were leaving the waiting room in joy.
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
The remaining cadets in the other class were exchanging strange and unusual looks.
* · * *
Leon left the waiting room with Carotene and Celia.

The Class A cadets also dispersed, saying good work today.
I guess there is an important evaluation left the next day.
I planned to eat and rest without any special training today.
I have practiced enough so far.
Conditioning was essential.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Anyway, on a day like today, I have to tear off some meat.”
“Leon~!”
Carotene’s words were interrupted by a lively woman’s voice.
Tadat, tak! Crash!
The sound of light footsteps is getting closer.
“hahahaha. “Would you like to talk to your sister?”
Help!
Like bossaming a man outside the house.
Hera, who came running with her bizarre laugh, picked up Leon’s body and started running away.
“······Oh, that’s right. “I thought I’d see you later, right?”
Leon hung on to her and scratched her head, probably remembering it only then.
“Uh, huh?!”
Leon calmly waved his hand to the stunned Carotene and Celia.
And then he comfortably relaxed and entrusted himself to Hera.
Isn’t there a saying that if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it?
It was clear that even if I tried to resist anyway, it wouldn’t work.
Hera smiled brightly and was reconciled with a beam of light, leaving the academy in an instant.
Pedestrians, street trees, and buildings quickly passed by.
It was almost as fast as a car.
‘As expected, the master is different.’
Leon was secretly impressed by her walking skills, which were on a different level from his own.
As Heavenly Spirit Bo’s skill level increases, she will definitely be able to reach this level of speed.
In less than three minutes, they arrived at an alley on the outskirts of Elaim.
“Arrived!”
“······Here?”
Leon, who got off Hera, took out her cigarette and bit into it.
Chiek!
Sparks flew and a fire ignited at the end of the year.
“I don’t think it’s a good place for conversation.”
It was an eerie place where only gangsters would gather.
Leon shrugged her shoulders, glancing at the rats and cockroaches crawling under her feet.
It means why did you bring me here?
“······.”
No answer came back.
Hera was wagging her tongue in silence.
As her smoke leaked out between Leon’s lips, her smile became even more bizarre.
“Huuu······. Anyway, it’s been a while, sister.”
—Boo!!
A sharp plosive sound that tears through the silence.
The sword and sword crossed.
In an instant, the fried sparks brightened up the dark alley and disappeared.
“Wow, what a surprise.”
Leon, who reversed his sword and blocked her path.
“Huh.”
Hera holding a short sword to the back of Leon’s neck.
Kagagak- Kagagak-
The two swords had a small struggle of strength, making a harsh noise.
“······The greeting is a bit harsh?”
“Hmm~.”
Hera gently curved her eyes into the shape of a crescent moon.
Kat!
I pushed the sword back strongly to create space.
And then she began to move her sword as if swinging the air.
Kang! Kaang! Kagagagagang-!
Neck, heart, armpits, eyes, popliteal fossa.
Hera’s one-handed sword that only targets fatal vital points.
The sword light flickered, and the sword spirit rushed in.
Her heels, her undulating short swords, attacked Leon fiercely.
Even though Hera had her right hand in her pocket and was only playfully swinging her left hand.
Leon had no choice but to focus on defense and evasion.
The gap between Master and Expert was so great that it could be overcome by just reducing one sword.
Pee it! Fit!
Red lines began to appear on Leon’s face and body.
It is impossible to block all of her attacks, so give up all areas except the vital areas.
Fit! Pee it! Siik!
Blood was splattered and flesh was torn.
“······.”
Leon’s eyes did not waver at all.
The deeply sunken eyes were constantly looking for a breakthrough in this situation.
“You can’t just block it, right~?”
Hera licked her lips and spat out mockingly.
Her swordsmanship became even stronger.
The sword flew in, splitting the beat at will and drawing a varied trajectory.
Tsuzu!
Let the sword stroke pass under her chin.
Leon felt the threat of her death along with a dizzying pain.
This b*tch, she was really ready to kill.
Adrenaline poured out like a torrent of water and soaked his brain.
Fear and fear were replaced by excitement and pleasure.
The corners of his mouth rose spontaneously, creating a fishy smile.
At the same time, his time began to pass more slowly than ever.
What you should aim for is one solid blow.
This is the only possibility of defeating an opponent with such a difference in skill.
Even if it was a reckless gamble, I had to give it a try.
His eyes were shining brightly, like a wild beast waiting for its moment.
Kang! Kang! Kagang!
Very small and minute.
Leon intentionally created a gap on his right.
I was planning on giving up one of my arms.
Compared to his life, he had about an arm left over.
Hera poked and poked around the area a few times and then smiled slightly.
Sooooo!
He stabbed the sword strongly with his right shoulder.
Rather, Leon pushed his body forward.
Boom!
He struck with his sword diagonally with a strong forward strike.
Jecheongeombeop (制天劍法) 1st form, dawn….
“That’s it.”
Phew!
Hera’s sword, which had been digging into Leon’s shoulder for about a word, stopped.
Before she knew it, her sword was being held in her right hand, which had been removed from her pocket.
“······.”
“······.”
There was an exchange of glances while both were standing still.
The tense tension was released like a broken bowstring.
Srumbling-clack.
Leon and Hera simultaneously stepped back and took the lead.
“Are you really going to throw away your arm?”
“It’s better than dying, right?”
You crazy b*tch, who is it because of?
Spitting bluntly, Leon took out a potion from his subspace pouch and sprinkled it on his shoulder.
“That’s strange~.”
As Hera watched her, her tongue lazily flicked her lips.
“It’s strange. “How did people change like this?”
“Well, personality changes often at this age.”
“No.”
Hera looked at Leon, who answered shamelessly, with her creepy eyes.
“People don’t change very often.”
“No, I’ve seen it a few times since I was young.”
Leon laughed.
In the memories that remained in his body, it had been at least five years since he last saw Hera.
It’s very blurry and fragmentary, so it’s not accurate.
“—And to this extent, absolutely.”
Understand!
“·······?!”
Suddenly, Hera pushed Leon hard against the wall.
Her arms against the wall blocked his body.
The upper body is tilted.
Seueuugh-
Her face getting closer, dark red pupils.
Hera said, looking deeply into Leon’s eyes.
“Who are you?”
* · * *
Leon is tall.
And Hera was so tall that the crown of her head reached the approximate level of her chin.
Thanks to this, the two were able to look directly into each other’s eyes.
“······.”
One side was shiny and inorganic like that of a doll.
“······.”
One side was shiny with muddy blood.
The exhaled breath from Hera’s nose tickled Leon’s face.
“He used to tremble whenever he saw me, but now he makes eye contact like this.”
“Your eyes are so pretty.”
“This guy who was so timid and timid started fighting like he was addicted to drugs.”
“The knife held up well today.”
“A kid who can’t even catch an ant goes around killing people like bugs?”
“There are a lot of bug-like people.”
Hera looked into Leon’s still motionless eyes and smiled broadly.
“You don’t plan on saying much, do you?”
“······.”
Leon looked away as if he had no idea what he was talking about.
“Okay. Good.”
“······.”
“I don’t know who you are, but I’m starting to like you.”

Hera pulled her body away from her tilt and she met her partner, clapping her hands.
“Let’s do it this way.”
“What?”
“If you show me a fun side tomorrow… I will grant you a wish.”
Her tone of voice was cheerful as she suddenly made a strange suggestion.
“······Wish?”
Leon’s right eyebrow tilted steeply.
“Is the word ‘wish’ any different? “Then let’s ask for a favor.”
“······.”
Leon thought as he nuzzled her mouth again.
······What a crazy b*tch.
Why do I suddenly have a wish?
I don’t know what thoughts are going through that small head.
He looked like a typical madman whose way of thinking was somehow off.
But.
I liked it.
“Good.”
Because she smelled something similar to herself.
Caring for fun and stimulation.
And there happened to be some guys that had to be dealt with.
‘I guess I should clean it up right now.’
She was a group of young people who stood alone, but if we were together with her, we would be able to solve the problem easily.
In his answer.
“Huh.”
Hera grinned, her tension suddenly rising.
Page.
She lightly kissed Leon’s forehead.
A fun toy.
It was as if he had discovered a cute pet.
“I like it. Do you like it.”
Even patting her head.
It was so sudden and instantaneous that Leon couldn’t even avoid it.
To begin with, it is a master-level unmanned vehicle.
Whenever she decided to do something, Leon could not resist.
“I’m looking forward to it~?”
Letting out an excited scream, she disappeared as if falling to the ground.
Quick exit as if he had an unpredictable personality.
Only the setting twilight, rats, and cool air remained.
A slight breeze blew down Leon’s bangs.
“······.”
Is this a real idiot?
Leon, who was left alone, frowned at her, took out her handkerchief and wiped her forehead.
