I Gave Up Their NTR Liberation Quest chapter 5

5 – Childhood friends…. I don’t need them?

Being the head of the academy is not an easy task.

There are many nobles gathered here, so everyone would have registered as a noble kite, but it is not. If you come to take this test with a light heart, you will probably die in less than 10 minutes.

Cradle of geniuses.

Among geniuses overflowing with talent, only one flower blooms.

That’s the meaning of being the chief of Arcade Academy, and it’s safe to say that taking the chief position to match that meaning is really a game of luck.

The title that only those who have skills, talent, and luck can take is the head of the arcade academy.

“Then what should we do?”

As Lane strokes the handle of her sword, she searches for a way to find the rune in this forest full of magical power.

It is great to work to find mana stones by spreading mana widely, but quickly stop the act of scattering mana needlessly like that.

“What are you planning to do?”

I answered while staring at Lane with eyes that would kill him right away if told to kill him.

“Do you know what it means to be a fisherman?”

Fisherman’s Geography

By saying that the third party benefits while the two fight, this method could always be useful.

If you intervene in the middle of a battle, it is important that the opponent’s physical strength is basically reduced, but you can gauge the opponent’s level.

What kind of attacks do you use, what tactics do you use, and how much power do you have?

After exposing the opponent’s tactics in detail, he sneaks in.

“So you’re saying leave them to fight and we’ll catch the weary.”

“right. There may be teams like us that try to move from hiding, but honestly, it’s not a big problem, right?”

“of course.”

I know the habit of comparing myself is bad, but since they trust me and follow me like this, I can’t help but compare.

Loyalty is incomparable to those bitches who often spit out words about being a warrior or about justice.

“By the way, I guess I’m also a student at Arcade Academy… It seems that all wizards only use spells of 3 or more circles.”

“right.”

To be honest, there will be very few people among me who come out only with their skills.

Elixir, artifact, scroll, etc., there are a lot of things that can be prepared, and all the people who enter here are overflowing with families with money that three generations of commoners can spend on revelry.

Of course, when you enter the school, there will be more talk in social circles, and there is no reason to save money on a good opportunity to make a relationship with a future hero.

“There are real geniuses among them.”

“What did you say?”

“No, I should prepare to leave soon.”

The girls I knew by now would have gathered enough mana stones to go back and forth between the top and bottom seats.

It would be difficult to approach the saintess because of the people dispatched from the church, but the battle would be easy for the other side.

“Because there is still half an hour left.”

As soon as he exploded his mana as quickly as possible and explored the surroundings, the familiar flow of mana was transmitted as information.

It seems that Ariane picked out enough people to use moderately and collected quite a bit. And seeing the betrayal in real time, admission seems certain.

And soon after, he turned his head in the direction where he could feel the sacredness and the magic shining like a nearby star.

“found.”

I shot my body toward the mana that felt like a star.

Unlike the lightly sparkling mana, because of the unique heavy feeling, Rain’s forehead was sweating differently than usual. It’s okay because I’ve gotten used to it, but it seems like it’s quite ascetic for Rain, who hasn’t experienced this pressure properly yet.

“The number is four. I’ll capture them, so kill the other two first.”

When I pointed to the other side of the green hair, Lane nodded.

“!!”

Rain rushed in without saying a word and neatly cut the opponent’s wrist at the same time as the sword.

“As you commanded.”

“Kwaaa!!!!”

The first attack went perfectly. It’s a two-on-one fight, but one loses the hand holding the sword, so it’s practically a one-on-one fight.

That’s enough for Lane alone.

“ah… .”

And I still have things to deal with.

Ceres, who had not yet grasped the situation on Lane’s side, sent me a look full of goodwill through her emerald-like jade-colored eyes.

really disgusting.

“miss!!”

When I heard a scream from the other side, Minel hid Ceres behind her back and raised her silver rapier to block my sword.

“What are you thinking, Ar Primal?”

“What? Isn’t that a legitimate attack?”

“…uh?”

Ceres was staring at me blankly as if he still didn’t understand the situation, so I personally drew my sword and told him what I was going to do.

“Are you dissatisfied with drawing your sword for the academy exam?”

The tip of the rapier came right in front of me in an instant.

“Looks like you’re crazy at last.”

“I’m not particularly crazy, but you talk a lot.”

Minel came towards me with the sound of the wind and stabbed her sword into my heart without hesitation.

Taang!!

I’ve never been so hostile with Minel, so I feel a little confused.

Watching the sword that I protected even when my childhood friend and fiancée, who was looking at me like an idiot over there, betrayed me, flying towards me, my excited mind calms down in an instant.

My relationship with Minel has always been good. As the engagement business with Ceres was on the way to success, he became more and more friendly with Minel, who stood by him, and later became a stronger comrade and close friend than anyone else.

But not now.

I aimed my sword at Ceres, and Minel, as Ceres’ knight, must block my sword.

My sword collided with Minel’s sword, and scarlet sparks sprang up.

“It’s the same.”

A slash attack followed by a thrust that maximizes the advantage of a sharp sword. And even the dagger that quietly and silently approaches like an assassin.

“There is no change in the first part.”

It’s so simple that I got hit at first when I didn’t know the pattern, but it’s a threatening attack.

In the first place, the slash attack following the stab of the rapier, which is close to rapid speed, draws attention to the rapier, but the dagger technique using the opposite hand aimed precisely at that time.

“It’s great, but it’s an easy way to plan countermeasures when you know that much.”

Responding to the rapier’s successive attacks, he knocked off the sneaking dagger. When threatened by spraying the prepared poison potion, Minel kicks her tongue and backs away.

“Shouldn’t you just throw a dagger instead of just retreating from there?”

I mean like this.

With the sound of the wind, the dagger flew in a straight line and was almost stuck in Minel’s thigh, but it seemed that he was not lacking in skill.

“… Are you going to make fun of me?”

“You’re not that stupid, are you?”

Minel is not a commoner.

I would have been able to understand what I was trying to do because I would have received proper education and guidance through the self-restraint of a marquis.

“I also have things that are too much for me to do alone.”

Need help.

Aside from catching the demon king, what is happening in the academy is at a level that even a country that has undergone a regression cannot solve alone.

Besides, my return is not a world made by reversing time perfectly to make the same situation unfold.

One of my choices might change something in the world, and even if it wasn’t for me, something outrageous might happen because of the actions of the people I influenced.

“It would be nice if things worked out on my own, but… As a result of my life, I had too many misfortunes to believe in my luck.”

As I quickly drew runes with magic and created a scythe of blue flames, Ceres, who was next to me, stretched out her hand toward me.

Perhaps at the current level, Minel, who has not yet fully awakened, sees the blue flame that surpasses the magic of Ceres, who is only at the level of the white flame, and Minel trembles and adjusts her momentum.

“Now, you know how I’m going to move, right?”

“Keugh!!!”

If you know the movement of a skilled player, you can understand how to move with a little muscle movement and gaze processing. In particular, I believe that it is possible if it is Minel who has already surpassed me at this time, limited to such body vision or weapon skills.

Take a step back and swing the scythe horizontally.

Even without pointing out the fact that increasing the distance puts the relatively short reach of the rapier at a disadvantage, they know it, so they immediately stick to it.

And the dagger he pulled out again.

“Is it simple?”

“sh*t!!”

As soon as I knocked off the flying dagger with the handle of the scythe, Minel’s third dagger arrived right in front of me.

poop!!

“It’s so…huh!?”

“Your field of view is narrow. Just because you’re holding a scythe doesn’t mean you can’t use taijutsu.”

With the front kick that went in neatly, Minel grabbed his stomach and collapsed.

It was a very simple victory without even a final struggle.

“It’s not about cutting with a dagger, it’s about throwing it from a distance and looking for gaps. No matter what, you’re too honest to compete.”

The fight is not a battle of knights.

“It is all over.”

Anyway, if the other side is over, there is only one person left.

“Ceres.”

When I called my name, I ripped open the pocket on the side of my childhood friend who was still staring at me with blank eyes.

“uh… ?”

When I unfolded the inside of the bag I had taken from Ceres, I saw mana stones engraved with familiar runes, emitting colorful light full of mana.

If this is enough, I don’t have to bother giving it to Lane and then bringing it back.

“crawl… Try it.”

Minel, who had collapsed on the floor and barely supported her trembling legs with the scabbard like a newborn giraffe, slowly stood up and aimed her rapier at me.

this is amazing… It wasn’t strong enough to wake up without recovery.

It’s not fine. I woke up properly, but my legs were shaking, and I was gasping for breath as if I was going to run out of breath.

“a little bit… Leave it.”

“What?”

At Minel’s words, Lane frowned and glared at Minel.

Minel herself seemed to know that this was a shameless request, and she let go of the strength in her legs that were trembling while blushing and knelt down towards me.

“I don’t care. Only Lady Ceres… childhood friend. No, can’t it be the fiancee’s affection?”

“This game is survival. You know. Minel.”

“Then Lian… Don’t you know how far your position will fall if you fail this academy test?”

They say that it would be different if you only dropped one academy, but for the high-ranking aristocrats of the empire, admission to this academy is a spec.

However, if that spec is a spec that all high-ranking aristocrats have, things will change.

The specs that boast of oneself, such as medals or ornaments, are also to represent oneself for high-ranking nobles, but the academy. If you’re a student at Arcade Academy, it’s difficult to compare it with a medal, but just being admitted is a qualification you’re proud of.

To be honest, there is no big problem with other academies than arcade academies, but the entrance exam for this arcade academy is later than other academies, and it is impossible to enter other academies without passing the filthy difficult transfer test. will be lost

“… Minel, you must know that this is a shameless request.”

“of course.”

“I’m Ceres’ fiancée, but that has absolutely nothing to do with this situation.”

“of course.”

As if an iron plate had been put on his face, not a single color of his complexion had changed.

“I wouldn’t do anything to help her just because he’s a fiancé.”

“… Is that so.”

Minel’s voice went down nicely.

Yes, why would I help the bitch who betrayed me and stuck with the prince?

“So I will help you.”

“What?”

But Minel is different.

“Your skills are outstanding. Unlike Ceres, who hasn’t come to his senses yet, he’s still clumsy, but he’s fighting properly.”

she is helpful

On the battlefield, she is useful as a fighting force, and there are countless times when she has helped her in terms of spirit other than that.

“so… It is an investment.”

For a light recovery magic, draw a rune with one hand and take a few mana stones from your pocket with the other hand and put them in Minel’s hand.

“Be sure to come up to S rank and help me.”

Minel, who understood my words, burst out laughing and held the mana stone in my hand.

“Don’t you usually help your fiancé?”

“Originally, people should prioritize reason over emotion.”

Is it because of my mood that a corner of my conscience is stinging for some reason?

yeah, it’s just a feeling
