157 – transfer student at the academy – 5
“Come here, Al Tegner.”
As if calling a puppy, magic began to sway over Scarlett’s shoulder as she chanted incense into the air with a very kind voice.
Hwareuk. and bright red flames rising from the air. At the same time, an effect that looked like a small explosion occurred next to her and something came out.
Cue——!
The bright red creature that came out of the air made a cute cry and landed on Scarlett’s shoulder. A creature that naturally grooms itself on her shoulder.
“No way, that’s———”
“Wow, what is it! It’s so cute!!!”
Seeing the appearance of a creature that suddenly appeared, Rosé stomped her feet in place and shouted.
“Ha, student president! May I touch you? Can I stroke you? yes? yes?”
Scarlett bursts into laughter when she sees Rosé wriggling her hands as if she doesn’t know what to do because she’s cute.
“I say so. What do you think? egg.”
-I don’t like being touched… … … … I like that elf!
“Hoo? Do you allow me to stroke you? It’s a big deal.”
Scarlett opens her eyes wide in genuine surprise, and Rosé starts stroking the creature as soon as she gets permission.
“It’s warm~ It’s cute~”
Rosé petting the creature’s face with a relaxed face as if petting a puppy, and the creature shaking its head making a purring sound as if it were in a good mood. Looking at it, even I felt like laughing.
“Rosé.”
“yes?”
“Do you know what you are touching?”
“Isn’t it a cute pet?”
Rosé continued stroking the guy’s head until he answered me.
“That’s a dragon.”
“Ah~ I see~ Dragon… … … … drag… … … … Yeah!”
Rose, finally realizing what she was touching, stepped back and looked at the dragon in front of her.
“This cute creature is a dragon?”
“okay.”
“Boo, like the vice-president?!”
“I am much younger, but… … … … That dragon is right.”
“Uh, how can a dragon be so cute?”
“that… … … … ”
“——It’s because the eggs are still hatchlings. I was only 15 years old.”
Scarlett herself explains on behalf of me.
I wondered what a great summoned beast he had since he said he was dealing with two, was it a dragon?
Certainly, if it’s a dragon-type summon, it’s not enough to be a top-notch summon. However, there was one thing I didn’t like.
“Even if it’s Hetzling, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with me.”
That I, too, was not an ordinary being. Not an ordinary devil, but one of the great devils with the status of a grand duke, I was also a native born who was not inferior to dragons at all in terms of species level.
“If I was in the 5th circle like Miss Rose, it would have been difficult. However, the student council president of the academy has to be superior to anyone else.”
Saying that, Scarlett spread only six fingers on both hands.
“Isn’t 6 circles enough to sparring with you guys?”
Scarlett smiles and talks. In a way, you might think that there is only one circle difference from Rosé, but… … … … The difference between the 5th circle and the 6th circle was beyond imagination.
“That would mean that Hetzling is also a 6-star, but if he is a 6-star, wouldn’t he be able to use Transcendence?”
A skill that is unlocked when the summons reach 6 stars. transcendence.
It was a kind of special skill.
“If that was the case, of course I was thinking of sealing it. In the first place, if Al used the Transcendental Skill in the arena, the Prism Stone would not be able to handle it.”
Is it sparring with the transcendence sealed?
“… … … … Gregory.”
“hmm?”
When I turned my head at the sound of my name coming from behind, I saw Rosé, who seemed to be determined.
“I want to try it!”
It’s a completely different look from the usual rosé, which I was reluctant to do as much as Dalyeon, saying that it was too tired.
“The student president is probably one of the strongest opponents you’ve ever faced.”
“yes!”
“To be honest, he is such a strong opponent that it is hard to even think of winning. Do you still want to do it?”
“yes!”
“Why?”
I wanted to hear why Rose wanted to sparr with a strong fighter, so I asked her why. Then, Rosé responded by clenching her fists.
“Because I have to get it back!”
“… … … … huh?”
“Gregory. Now you can go to the demon realm, right? Because he said you can go to the Pandemonium when you reach 5 stars.”
“It was.”
“Originally, Gregory-sama must have been one of the strongest in the Demon Realm. Wouldn’t Gregory-sama be ashamed if he went back to the Demon Realm like this? therefore! I will do my best to become stronger! Gregory too… … … … Because you made me this strong! Because he allowed me to show my family that I am not ashamed!”
ah. Was it because of it?
Delinia, who went with Rosé a while ago.
At the time, Rosé didn’t say anything about it, but she was very happy.
It was because I was able to show the image of Roger von Euglia, the dark horse of the first year, not the loser and failure Roger von Euglia. Because I was able to show my family the image of a daughter I was proud of more than anyone else.
So, it seemed that this time, Rosé was determined to become stronger for me.
“anyway.”
still call! I put my hand on top of Rosé’s head, who was opening her eyes, and gently stroked it. It’s hard to believe that he’s still dyed his hair so soft.
“My summoner is too nice to wear.”
“lol… … … … ”
Rosé’s expression, which had been hardened by my sudden petting, gradually began to loosen up. Rosé even goes so far as to say, even if you hit a rock with an egg, shouldn’t you try it first?
“My summoner is rather welcoming. Then all that’s left… … … … Ukel. How are you? A sparring with the student council president. Are you okay?”
“agreement.”
Upon receiving my question, Yukel nodded without hesitation.
“Confirmation of loss of power due to long seal. Recovery needed.”
After all, was it that Lars had been sealed ever since he fought the disaster?
That would explain why Yukel in the original story was so weakened. In the first place, she was a human weapon created by undergoing all sorts of experiments in the Holy Church.
“Then, all three agreed. If so, let’s proceed without delay.”
With the consent of all of us, the student council president turned around and walked straight to the instructor in the arena. It was because of the academy’s rule that an instructor must act as a manager on the spot in order to use the arena.
“Even if it’s hetzling… … … … He must be as strong as the vice president, right?”
Rosé looked at Scarlett’s back and asked me quietly.
“I guess so. Dragons are such a species.”
“Ugh. Hearing that answer makes me even more nervous. But, why do dragons like my touch?”
“hmm? Have you ever touched another dragon?”
Rosé nodded at my question.
“Yes, even during one-on-one training with the vice president, he made me stroke my hair.”
“… … … … That vice-chancellor?”
“yes. Because I feel good. That’s why I sometimes pet her during supplementary classes.”
… … … … A touch that dragons love. Is this also because of the leaves of the world tree that I have been blooming since I was young?
According to Levinport, mana very similar to the energy of the World Tree was flowing inside Rosé’s body. Because of that, Rosé has surpassed the status of an ordinary elf. I was wondering if it might have something to do with this.
“I guess it’s because I’m a smoker.”
“yes? Do dragons like smokers?”
“Not all smokers, but… … … … According to Levinport, he said that you can feel the energy of the World Tree strongly thanks to the cigarettes you have been smoking so far, so this reason is probably correct.”
“Oh oh… … … … okay. Then, from now on, I will have to smoke a cigarette every time I come to see Al.”
… … … … Is that how it works?
Shortly after we were talking like that, Scarlett waved at us.
Apparently, the conversation with the instructor went well.
“Rosé.”
“yes!”
“You will only be able to survive if you do your best. Go with all your might from the start.”
“yes!”
Rosé will understand just by saying this… … … …
“Ukel.”
Yukel tilts his head when his name is called.
“The opponent is a dragon. If you look at the effect and color when it appeared, it must be a dragon that mainly uses fire magic. When dealing with Ifrit, prioritize targeting the summoner, Scarlett, rather than targeting the dragon.”
“… … … … check.”
She also nodded her head without questioning whether she agreed with me.
“… … … … Then go.”
“yes!”
“check.”
As it was, we headed straight to the arena where Scarlett was standing. Scarlett is still smiling as if she is happy looking at us. The little Hetzling sitting on her shoulder was looking at us with a bored yawn.
No matter how hatchling it is, it’s still a dragon.
Just by looking into your eyes, I can feel you looking down on me.
Okay, let’s see how long you can look at me with those eyes.
Dragon vs Cockroach.
The battle between the strongest race in the fantasy world vs. the longest-staying race on Earth is about to begin right here.
