Episode 105. to the battlefield
Coincidentally, today was the day of the midterm exam results announcement.
The interim score is announced by adding up all the paper exams.
I thought the plaza was noisy, but before I knew it, students had gathered.
It was waiting for the transcript to be posted.
Because the background of the work is the background, the method of presenting grades was also outdated.
“Aren’t you going to see me?”
“You can see it here too.”
And I was watching from the balcony of the mansion across the square.
With a little concentration, it was not difficult to interpret visible light from that distance to a level where each character could be read.
“···········?”
Suddenly, the square became noisy.
Wanting something, Sergei and Ludwig were approaching, each holding a large scroll in their arms.
“Now it seems to be announcing.”
“I know.”
“tremble?”
“············”.
There was no need to be nervous.
In the case of combat magic, thanks to the transparent disclosure of all the results of the surprise test, I knew that I was already ranked first, but in the case of elemental magic, it was a little unclear.
It would be perfect if it was 1st, but…
Even if it wasn’t number 1, there was no problem.
It’s okay if you drop it on the final exam.
So even if it wasn’t number 1 so far, there was no problem.
I mean, there’s no reason to be nervous.
“Uh. Trembling. Inexhaustible.”
But I had to admit it.
I was definitely trembling.
Noticing that, a warm hand slid into my left hand.
Are you doing this to relieve tension?
I squeezed Emilia’s hand.
“It’s pasted. I can’t see the letters… Can you see my brother?”
“Yeah. I see.”
My heart was pounding.
The report card was unfolded and pinned to the newsletter.
-1st grade elemental magic midterm exam and other exam evaluations combined.
The bold text was clearly visible.
There were names lined up underneath it.
once from the top.
from the top.
who is number 1
-1st place: Schlus Heinkel
“under.”
“Why? Why? What?”
I couldn’t stand the sigh.
To be honest, I didn’t know much about combat magic, but I didn’t have high expectations for elemental magic.
I got a perfect score in the midterm exam, but I saw the note test as a rout.
There were so many problems with the basic principles of magic that had never been explained in the original work, so there was no room for trickery, so I had to study and solve them all.
There have been times when I almost went crazy because I thought this was the right answer while I was writing it down.
That doesn’t mean I can’t go out and ask Iris or Erica if I’m right.
No, actually, it did, but…
My pride didn’t allow it.
Still, I was more than proud to have won the top position.
Because it means that the hard work spent in the training room every day has paid off.
“The next one unfolds.”
As sighs and cheers mingled from the square, Sergei began to unfold the scroll on the pavilion next to him.
Unlike elemental magic, where I couldn’t figure out how many points I got in the note test, combat magic was able to grasp my position relatively intuitively.
So I was somewhat confident.
-1st place: Schlus Heinkel
I knew it.
It was a natural result.
I was thinking of going back and forth like this.
“ah······.”
“brother?!”
Suddenly my leg was loose.
I just sat down and slapped my butt wheel unsightly.
Fortunately, thanks to Emilia’s support from behind, she was able to avoid seeing the ugliness that fell backwards and hit the back of the head.
“Why? He’s so damn screwed up?”
“No. Both were number one.”
“What? What? First place? Chief?”
“I’m not a senior yet. I have final exams left.”
“No, though! They both got first place in the midterm exam while doing double majors! This is amazing!”
He grabbed my shoulder and shook me and started to fuss.
It was certainly unprecedented.
Those who are not afraid to take a double major usually have to endure for a long time before they fall out of the second week.
Keeping both of them at the top was the level of difficulty of becoming a magic knight.
Because you have to be able to freely manipulate both the mana inside and outside the body.
“Look forward.”
“···········?”
“Lean back and rest. You worked hard, oppa.”
“············”.
Emilia grabbed my hair and gently pulled me back.
Beans and the back of the head touched something hard.
When I said something, it seemed to be Emilia’s collarbone.
I could tell without looking back.
Emilia was sitting on her knees, supporting me from behind.
I let all the power out of my body, and I completely surrendered my body to Emilia.
“Huh…”
“Aren’t you too vigilant because it’s in front of me? It’s still a balcony here.”
“What do you know? You won’t be able to see it from below anyway.”
“Can you see it through the window in the building?”
“Look, yes. Is there any problem with watching this scene?”
“It’s like there’s nothing…. Yeah. No.”
It was nice to feel the cool breeze in the evening as the sun sets.
How many times have you come to this world to enjoy your time without any tension?
Before I knew it, I trusted Emilia that much.
To the nearest enemy, to the assassin who still had a dagger hidden in his thigh, I was putting out the nape of my neck.
“I’ll be there soon.”
“Yeah. Let’s go. Erica must have made up her mind soon.”
“brother.”
“yes?”
I had to raise my head to be held by Emilia’s gentle hands.
He was met with sullen black eyes.
Emilia was slowly tilting her face while supporting my cheek with one hand.
‘ah.’
The moment Emilia’s eyes closed, she realized what was going on.
had to get away
Staying still here is like consent.
But there was no strength in his body.
It’s like an anesthetic is running all over your body.
The pleasant coolness and the soft touch on my back paralyzed me.
gave up
I slowly closed my eyes and acclimatized to this situation.
My reason was not strong enough to overcome my immediate desires.
Shrek-
“Well?”
I opened my eyes when I heard a rustling sound from the pants dance.
Then, what caught my eye was Emilia, who was smiling and waving a handkerchief in front of my eyes.
“I was going to take out the handkerchief. To buffer my magic before I go. Why. What did you expect?”
“············”.
“Even with your eyes closed. What the hell were you expecting? Huh?”
“Ttt….”
properly teased
I stood up, putting my hand on Emilia’s hair, stroking it roughly.
“Are you all full? Then give me a handkerchief.”
“yet······.”
“············”.
with your head bowed.
Emilia was holding the handkerchief with both hands.
3 seconds would have been enough.
Still, Emilia was holding the handkerchief and did not move.
It was as if time had stopped.
I seemed to know how to make time pass.
He gently handed Emilia’s hair over and placed it on the top of her head.
And then, slowly and gently swept over it.
So time began to pass.
“here······.”
Emilia raised the handkerchief with both hands.
The handkerchief was neatly folded with the pretty ribbon facing up.
However, Emilia’s head was still bowed.
“Raise your head, Emilia. You can’t say hello like that.”
“············”.
“Emilia.”
“Uhhhh… Black….”
“Cry?”
“No, no….”
Emilia slowly raised her head.
He sniffed, his eyes were dazzlingly wet with his distorted face, but no tears were flowing.
Emilia was smiling.
hand me the handkerchief wide open.
“I’ll go. I’ll be there, a week.”
“Yeah… well, come here. Destroy everything and come back. Accept surrender so that you don’t have to go again.”
“hahahaha. That must be difficult.”
“Go quickly. If you leave now, it will be close at 7 o’clock.”
“I will. I’ll go.”
“yes······.”
He took the handkerchief and shoved it into his pocket.
Finally, she let go of her hand, messing around with Emilia’s hair.
Perhaps she was angry at the prank, Emilia was staring at me.
I left behind Emilia like that.
It was fortunate.
It would have been really difficult if I held her while crying.
Did the intelligence service decide that it would not work for an attack that appealed to such emotions?
Anyway, I was very happy.
***
Tragedy.
I was standing on a platform in the bustling place where all the stagecoaches in the Islands gather.
I thought it arrived a little bit narrowly.
Unexpectedly, there was not a single person who came first and waited.
It’s like lazy guys.
“Teacher!”
The first to come was Tree.
Tree wearing full body armor and wearing a helmet on his side.
I’ve never seen her so fully armed.
I had seen him wearing light gloves in the Wrist Forest, but it was strange and strange to see him flash like this.
Not surprisingly, all the attention of the platform was focused on Tree.
“Did you wear it all the way here?”
“It’s hard to bring. hehehe.”
“············”.
indeed.
It was a clear and reasonable reason.
It was a great choice if you could afford a little bit of indignation.
“You don’t have armor?”
“I don’t have good stamina to run around with such a heavy thing. I’m just limiting my actions.”
“Still, it would be dangerous in close combat….”
“At that time, can you protect me?”
Most of the close combat was to be left to Trier.
Because my skills are a bubble that I have only developed through one-on-one battles with theory in the corner of the room.
It would probably be useless in a real many-to-many battle.
He would have to focus more on his role as a wizard than a swordsman to be able to work.
“Wow…”
“Wow…who is that person?”
“Wait, aren’t you, Saint?”
Silence fell on the noisy platform.
Looking back with a sigh, a woman in a black nunnery and a veil was walking slowly.
I forgot about it for a while because I only saw it in school, but I thought the saint was a saint.
“It’s so noisy. How about a reunion?”
“Are you going to change clothes here? It’s a hobby….”
“No, in the bathroom….”
“Fufu. It can’t be. I shouldn’t hide that I’m a saint from the outside.”
“············”.
That’s right.
Thanks to Iris, it caused a commotion wherever I went.
“Shulus! You were waiting first! Hee … . . . . . “
From afar, someone staggered walking with a large sack on its back.
Upon closer inspection, it was Einz.
“What is that?”
“Maseok! Hee-eok…. I thought I was going to die of hardship.”
“Anyway, if you go there, it must be a magic stone that will rot. Because it’s in the middle of the war, the amount is very loose.”
“ah.”
Einz was mesmerized by Iris’ savage murder.
I asked the servant to come alone, so I couldn’t do it, so it looks like he came with a whimper from his house…
I didn’t want to let that effort go in vain.
“There must be a lot of mana stones, but the price will be more than twice as expensive. There’s nothing wrong with taking it. Give it to me. Let’s share it.”
“Ugh! You’re the only one who understands my heart, Schlus!”
“Don’t run away….”
He almost threw the jumping Einz into the path of the wagon.
All three of us who were supposed to come have arrived.
As long as there is no answer yet, when will anyone come?
We waited and waited, staring at the clock endlessly.
“Seven o’clock. That’s it.”
“············”.
The sun had completely set and the moon was rising in the sky.
It was time to depart.
– Beep profit!
In the distance, the driver of a large wagon blew the flute.
It must have been the carriage I had reserved.
He couldn’t wait forever for someone who didn’t come.
“I can’t help it, because my parents must have caught me.”
“Yeah, Schlust. Don’t worry too much. At Erica’s house, her mother is very strong.”
“I, I don’t know, but I think Erica also wanted to go.”
Since Iris occupies a unique position within the family, the elders would not have been able to voice their opposition loudly wherever they went.
Einz traveled so often that even his parents had given up.
to do everything you want to do.
It’s not that my mother wasn’t worried about the tree, but she might not have been able to stop her because she recently picked up a sword again and had an opportunity to build martial arts in the real world.
But Erica was different.
As long as Liechtenburg’s overwhelmingly charismatic Liechtenburg woman who leads the family is standing still, Erika will not be able to leave despite her mother’s opposition.
I wasn’t expecting much at first.
“Get on the wagon. I’ll be the last to ride.”
One by one they went inside.
Together, they put the manastone sack on the luggage compartment and fixed it well.
When I looked inside, everyone was seated and looking at me.
I’ll go now.
Abandoning all regrets
It was the moment I stepped into the carriage.
“Schlus Heinkel! Stop!!!”
A pleasant voice was heard.
It was still the voice of an idiot, still loud and ferocious.
