220 – 42. Abel Legion
“Well, it just so happened to be good.”
“……What……?”
“Ready. So, Jacob?”
“Uh, me?”
“Can I ask you one thing about the hero? You can think of it as a kind of survey.”
“Huh? Uh… If it’s okay, hero…”
“…It’s okay…It’s okay…”
Anyway, we only hang out for 24 hours.
Let’s make sure to hang out at least for that time.
Abel, who kept repeating this to herself, was unable to make eye contact with Jacob.
Nam Goong Min opened his mouth with the same smile as always.
“What do you think about the hero’s mission?”
“Uh, huh!?”
“There is no need to make it too complicated. Just tell me honestly what you think about the hero’s mission.”
“……………….”
“Well, I know it’s a burden since it’s in front of you. But Jacob’s honest answer can mean a lot to you.”
“……Then.”
Jacob hesitated for a moment.
As if he had made up his mind, he answered while looking at me rather than Namgoong Min.
“Honestly, I think it’s too much!”
“……What……?”
“That’s right, isn’t it! The people around me, my parents, and all Americans only look to the hero. The hero will enter the Pentacon and cut down the source of the gate. Only the hero can do it. That it would save us all… but, but that.”
“……………….”
“It’s like…Isn’t it asking you to die for us?”
For a moment, my eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Because what I was thinking a little while ago and what Jacob said were exactly the same.
“But… As I am also a professional, I feel it desperately. The only person who can truly take back America and my hometown… Is a warrior. The only person who can pass through those tens of millions of gates and enter the Pentagon is “There is only one warrior.”
“……………….”
“So, so.”
I wonder if I can’t think of a closing word.
Jacob hesitated for a moment, but soon.
“Please…Don’t die.”
“……………….”
“I want to live and see the hero again.”

Review the conditions for using job skills.

“…Where…Are you going…?”
“Hmm. Wouldn’t you be able to call me my mentor?”
“……Mentor……?”
This fortune teller has a mentor?
Who on earth is the mentor who teaches the fortune teller who can turn the academy upside down and solve all kinds of cases with just one word?
While he was thinking about candidates that didn’t come to mind when he thought of Amman, Namgoong Min was heading to a somewhere familiar.
“Ah, we’ve arrived. This is the top floor.”
“……Student…President’s office…?”
“Yes. You’re probably there… Chairman?”
“Oh, oh, oh oh…!! Who is this? Isn’t he the fortune teller of the highest city and the external torturer of external tortures!”
“It’s been a while, Chairman.”
“hahahaha! Lily Whiterose, knight of the highest mountain, always welcomes outside advisors!”
Lee, Lily Whiterose?
I have never seen it. Even though we’ve never met…… I had heard countless rumors that she was a woman crazy about chivalry in a bad way.
The third grader who blocked Namgoong Min and other students in the special vocational class during the first class.
Namgoong Min’s mentor?
…… Really?
“Hmm? Who is this… Junior who gives off a knightly aura?”
“Ah, is this your first time meeting me? This is Abel Legion, a half-human warrior like me.”
“…Nice to meet you…Should I say…?”
“10…500…2000…15000…?”
“………?”
What number suddenly?
Lily White Rose, who was looking at me and counting, suddenly threw back her head and shouted loudly.
“Chivalry of 120,000! That’s an excellent number!!”
“………………What……?”
“But it’s soft! My chivalry power is 530,000. But 120,000 chivalry power is really great! Oh, it’s just great!”
Party! Match!
The rumor that he is the strongest third grader is not just a rumor. Every time he laughs and hits my back, I feel a little pain.
But…… Chivalry? 530,000?
What on earth is this…? ……
“Chairman, what is chivalry?”
“That’s a good question, external advisor! Chivalry can be said to be a parameter that Lily Whiterose, the knight in this article, personally measures the chivalry of others! The accuracy is a whopping 100%! All clinical trials were successful!! “
“First of all, let me ask you, if this is a clinical trial…?”
“I tested this with my followers and Samuel, and they all praised the results as accurate! I tried them three times and got them all right, so the accuracy is 100%!”
A conversation continues that makes you feel like you’re going crazy when you listen to it.
Even though we had only met for less than a minute, I felt like I could understand why people’s opinions of Lily Whiterose were so drastically different.
People who view her favorably will easily approach her because of her friendliness, and those who view her negatively will actually distance themselves even further due to her friendliness and her boisterousness.
It’s really unfortunate, but I felt like I was moving away.
…… On the other hand, Namgoong Min seemed to be the one approaching.
“That’s great.”
“External advisors, are you curious about the chivalry of external advisors?”
“I’m not really curious since I’m a fortune teller. Anyway, Chairman, I have something to ask you.”
“Hmm, what is it? Any question that Lily Whiterose, the knight of knights, with 530,000 chivalrous powers, can ask!”
As he responded, he hit the chest area of his full plate armor.
Just thinking about cancer………
‘Is this right…? ….’
At this point, I guess he’s just a mentor and he’s come here to get me into trouble.
Almost nothing has changed from usual, but just before looking at Namgoong Min with resentful eyes.
“What do you think about the hero’s mission?”
“……Ah, I see. That’s why you came to see me.”
‘Huh?’
For a moment, Lily Whiterose’s voice calms down.
It is not the loud and exaggerated voice that has been shown so far.
It feels like I have gone through many ups and downs in life…… In a soft and kind voice.
“The warrior, Abel Legion.”
“……………….”
“I…I think you’re really, really amazing.”
“……………….”
It’s amazing.
Never…… It was a feeling I had never thought about myself.
“Look at me. I’m just an ordinary person who calls myself a knight and chivalry. I have natural talent and was able to save many people, but those who escaped my control… There was nothing I could do.”
“……………….”
“But you are different. Just as you were born with great power, you were also born with great responsibility. The mission of a warrior is very harsh and cruel, but…”
Infinitely upright.
Also with honest eyes.
Lily Whiterose looked at Abel Legion.
“At the same time, I think it is very noble.”
“……That’s it….”
“Everyone thinks that a warrior’s mission is a sacrifice. But I don’t think so.”
Chaeng.
“I can tell because you have been trained as a knight. You are really… Strong. You can easily defeat me.”
“……………….”
“So, let me tell you about the hero’s mission as a mere knight.”
“My chivalry is for the weak, but your mission is for the world.”
“I salute you.”
*
First, for the good of the world.
*
“…Where are we?”
“Sir, hasn’t the world become a better place? I can talk to people from all over the world right here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.”
“……………….”
“Don’t look at me like a country boy like that, but sit here. I’ve already contacted the other person.”
The next place we visited after the student council president’s office was the liaison building in the academy.
It is a place where magic and artifacts realize not ordinary contact, but high-level meetings, secret conversations, and conversations with family members who do not have cell phones.
You can tell just by hearing its purpose, but if you are a student attending the Romance Academy, you will be evaluated as having visited it once throughout the four years. It was the most useless building in the academy.
As I sat down on the chair in the small private room, the screen that filled one wall immediately turned on.
…… It was a familiar face.
“……Raphael…….”
[It’s been a while, Abel.]
Only then did I understand why Namgoong Min came to this place.
Raphael Martina, who is rumored to be a current saint and even more so to have unified almost all factions of the church, is, without any exaggeration, one of the busiest people in the world.
Of course, external factors such as wiretapping and surveillance must be taken into account, so it is normal to refrain from making general contact.
However, although there are very few users here, it is a secret contact location whose reliability is guaranteed by the Academy.
It could be said to be the best place for a warrior and a saint to talk.
[Likewise, it’s been a while, Namgoong Min.]
“It hasn’t been that long. Saint, how about that?”
[It seems to be going pretty well. Now that we’ve absorbed Karleya and Cassandra, all that’s left is Squall…… He will also soon step down from his position as archbishop.]
“…What do you plan to do?”
[Apart from betraying me…… Squall is a wise man. It will be difficult to take the same heavy measures as before, but there will be no need to kick them out of the church.]
“You are merciful.”
[It is a mercy that God does not have.]
For a moment, I heard words that made me question whether it was okay to come out of the saint’s mouth……… Namgoong Min and Raphael were continuing their conversation as if nothing had happened.
‘Did I hear wrong?’
There was no reaction that was understandable, so I sat quietly and listened to Raphael and Namgoong Min’s story.
It is true that I have a close relationship with Raphael, but compared to my friendship with Namgoong Min, it was not that deep.
It seemed to be the same for Raphael.
[…] … I would like to share more updates, but Abel’s side seems to be cold.]
“………Hearing those words…From a man…Gives me goosebumps…”
[Don’t I look a bit feminine?]
“……………….”
[It’s a joke, a joke. Don’t try to run away from your seat. By the way, what’s going on?]
“Ah, that’s──”
[…] … No, Namgoong Min. This time, it’s not you.]
“……………….”
[Abel.]
Raphael beyond the screen.
He seems to have changed somehow compared to before he left for church.
I faced him with a smile.
[Please tell me yourself.]
“………………Of the hero….”
[Please speak louder.]
Bigger, bigger.
‘Yes.’
You’ve already come this far.
You’ve already passed the point of avoiding it because it’s embarrassing.
Now, just!
“What do you think about the hero’s mission?”
Is there a reason why you singled me out? Did Raphael know that he would ask this question in the first place?
Raphael, who seemed satisfied with my courage, nodded his head in response.
As if there is an answer that has already been thought of for a long time.
[It is a fight more beautiful than anything in this world.]
“……………….”
[Does that sound a bit strange? Abel, I think everyone is always struggling. The fortune teller next to you, me, and you too.]
“……………….”
[But the struggle is mostly for oneself. I was embarrassed too, but I was like that. In the end, I…… When I said I was fighting for others, I wanted to have confidence in myself. To Raphael, and to Chloe.]
What are you talking about?
The same goes for Raphael suddenly calling his name, and the person named Cloel.
But I desperately feel the sincerity of the voice coming from beyond the screen.
I quietly listened to Raphael’s answer.
[But Abel, look at your fight. You are not for yourself.]
“That’s………….”
[Because your fight is a fight to protect someone.]
Someone…… Fight to protect.
I was taken aback for a moment by those words that seemed familiar.
Raphael was looking at me as if he wanted to say what he couldn’t say.
Not Namgoong Min.
Me.
[Abel, how dare you…… This is what this foolish priest who calls himself your friend says.]
[Your mission is more precious than anything else in the world, and your fight is a fight for others.]
[How could it not be called the most beautiful fight?]
[Ah, please tell me when you go to fulfill your mission.]
[Isn’t a saint also necessary on the path of a warrior? Unfortunately, I am a man.]
*
Second, it will be a fight to protect the world.
