A week has passed since I decided to grant Sianna’s wish.
It was a mechanical routine.
When the sun rises, I wake up after washing and waking up my body that has been sleeping all night in the shower room.
If you spread the mana you’ve gathered all night while taking a shower all over your body, your body specs will go up quickly, albeit weakly.
Wash up and go to class. One day a week, except for the time for Zeros to educate himself, it could be said to be peaceful.
Even on the day Zeros came out, there was no problem if I was a little more nervous than usual.
Because after I lost to Ackerman, they stopped paying attention to me. As a result, it can be seen as very beneficial.
Zeros seemed to be focused only on tormenting Ackerman and Cain. Even that was disappointing, because he was frantic at the thought of breaking the barrier on the sealing sword.
Every day, he thinks of getting Pompey out of the academy, and when Pompey leaves the academy, he visits the central library or the principal’s office to find a spell to release the seal, and relieves Ackerman and Cain of the accumulated stress.
Perhaps Zeros is busier than anyone else in the academy.
Being a villain isn’t really a thing.
After finishing the morning and afternoon training, I participate in the subclass class. In alchemy, I am gaining basic knowledge that is useful for black magic, but I am about to study it properly after the climax of Act 2 is over.
On days when there are no classes at the pension department, I notice and then use a simple portal or walk slowly to the dormitory.
Occasionally, when I walk, Siana appears.
Then I said, ‘Hello, Aren? I met you by chance on the road again!’ or ‘I’m really looking forward to the outside mission! Is not it! Shall we pack a lunch box?’
Originally, did magic world friends have this much free time? Even when I think about it-
Well, because it’s Siana.
If you think of one word, everything becomes understandable.
When I arrive at the dorm, I am always alone.
Then, without hesitation, I immediately throw off my clothes and wash away the sweat.
It’s because the sky is getting higher and the fall is approaching, but there is still a lot of sweat from training.
After washing and eating dinner, it will be 6:00 o’clock.
It is a beautiful time as the sun starts to set and the campus is dyed vermilion.
When I change into a haze suit and arrive at the magic zoo and botanical garden hideout, without fail, Siana’s familiar is waiting for me.
rabbit one day.
Some days bear.
Some days snakes.
every single day.
And the one I defeated yesterday was Menya, a giant cat in the shape of Luming!
Like Siana’s familiars, they were all powerful enemies. Every time he defeated his familiars, who were getting stronger day by day, his practical experience was quickly accumulated.
Thanks to that, I was able to raise my Purifier proficiency in a fairly short period of time.
Compared to the beginning, the Holy Sword was very familiar.
If before, it felt like swinging a sword in the deep sea, now it’s just the deep sea?
I’ve never been in the deep sea, so I don’t know if that’s the right analogy.
What is certain is that my skills have improved considerably.
It may be a growth rate that is slightly less than that of Ackerman, the main character, but it is emotional when I think of the first time I possessed this body.
* * *
– Wow! Ackerman that monster… … !
– He really is crazy.
– Hyeonta is coming… … ?
Today is the last day of class before leaving for an external mission.
The 1:1 training between the instructor and the cadets is in full swing.
My turn is already over, and Ackerman has just finished a splendid sparring with Gilliot.
I sat against the wall of the gym, leisurely admiring Ackerman’s breakthrough.
‘At that rate, he’s growing up really fast.’
Wouldn’t it be 85% when I played myself?
-Excellent, Ackerman!
-yep! thank you!
– Okay, next! Hoya!
-yeah!
Ackerman descends after receiving Gilliot’s praise.
When the first year ace’s turn was over, the topic of conversation among the cadets who were chattering next to them quickly changed.
– Did you guys hear that? The butler told me
– Maybe, isn’t that it? That Princess Elise went missing?
– Oh right! did you hear what’s really going on
-crazy.
-Is there anything special, no way.
It’s right next to me, so I can’t help but overhear their chatter.
How long do you plan on talking about?
As soon as I tried to move my seat because my ears hurt, the noisy guys became quiet.
because someone showed up. There aren’t many people here who would silence them.
‘what?’
I was about to roll my eyes to see what was going on, but I heard a woman’s voice.
“water?”
Wasn’t Cain the first to hand over the water?
“… … ?”
“Tell me if you don’t like it.”
Cain slumped down in the seat next to me.
She, too, had just finished a training session, and sweat was forming on her neck and nose.
“suddenly?”
It’s burdensome to have a guy who would normally hang out with Ackerman suddenly come next to me. I hate it when everyone around me holds their breath and is conscious of this side.
Since the most popular girl in the combat world sat next to him, envy, jealousy, and doubts must well spring up.
But this time, those guys and I have no choice but to admit it.
“Can’t you sit and talk with your D-3 class?”
Cain had a good ‘excuse’ to sit next to me.
“Will you just eat some?”
The grumbling Cain once again invites me to ask.
‘No, it’s because I give you what I ate… … .’
I took a drink of water with a puzzled expression on my face.
Whether it was water purified with magic, it helped to restore physical strength.
When Hoya started shooting ice arrows, the cadets focused their attention again.
As the eyes diverged, Cain finally opened his mouth.
“Everyone seems to be growing fast. I am always in place.”
Her eyes slowly followed Hoya’s movements.
It was a lifeless look.
Obviously, Hoya is also growing steadily. It’s because he always shows a flustered and cowardly appearance. Even if he looks like that, he is praised as a shrine maiden.
The people next to Cain quickly hit and run.
For Cain, who needs to hold a spear to properly release its potential, it is an initial setup that inevitably makes me anxious.
I fully understood Cain’s feelings, and decided to give her some comfort.
“You are awesome too.”
“Ackerman, Ponte, Hoya. everything is great But the greatest thing in my eyes is you, Aren.”
Was it even conscious of me?
For this reason, it is necessary to minimize the involvement with the main character as much as possible.
Because even the smallest details affect it.
“… … .”
In times like this, don’t try to talk nonsense, but be silent. silence is golden
“huh. You didn’t go beyond two words of conversation with me.”
Cain puffed out his cheeks with a pouty face. What answer did you want?
The more you know Cain, the more difficult it is to deal with.
After that, Cain spat out in a small voice, barely audible.
“I’m doing well with Siana.”
Did you hear me wrong?
Hmmm, Cain jumped up. Get up and tie your tousled hair up again.
Then he looked down at me with thinly opened eyes.
“To see it on Monday or not!”
After a blunt shot, Cain turned around.
I feel like I need to say something. There seems to be a misunderstanding.
“Don’t try to compare yourself with others.”
“… … ?”
Cain looking back. The cheeks that were still swollen and the round eyes were cute.
“Because you have your own way.”
Ugh! I barely endured the fact that my fingers would disappear.
“… … .”
Cain’s eyes met for three seconds. Her jewel-blue eyes trembled slightly.
She said nothing else. He just bit his lip gently and disappeared somewhere.
Even if you say it nicely, it’s a cold attitude.
why am i so hated
It is unfair. I just forgot to say
I could feel the gazes of the guys around me, but I pretended not to know and focused on sparring again.
Hoya flew out of the arena.
It was an easy victory for Gilliott.
After the Dalian map was over, Zeros, who had been hiding and playing, came up to the podium with a face full of annoyance.
His right arm had been bandaged ever since the day Cain and I followed him at dawn.
Because he unknowingly touched the sealing sword, the ‘power of destruction’ in the sword must be eating away at him.
His right arm throbs every day, and it must be a headache to find the spell to cancel the barrier of the sealing sword, but seeing that figure made me feel much more at ease.
‘It’s going well.’
Because it was a perfect indicator that the story was cruising.
This is what I really want.
If everything goes smoothly, I can leisurely enjoy my academy life and graduate.
“Has everyone gathered?”
“Yes!”
Zeros scans the cadets with his cloudy eyes.
He frowned as he made eye contact with someone he didn’t know was me, Ackerman, or Cain.
“I’m going out on an external mission from next week.”
“Yes!”
“You guys are ashamed of your skills no matter where you put them.”
“… … .”
“But, don’t disgrace the Warriors. If you do that, it will tarnish my reputation, so I’ll make it hard for you to break the bone.”
Although unlucky, the comment itself has the effect of touching the cadets’ pride and desire to compete.
He was not a person who reached a high position at a young age for nothing.
* * *
The last class before the external mission is over.
If I spend the weekend from now on, I will leave the academy for a while. To solve the ghost mission in Herace Castle.
“hello! young master. This is a very long time. Has Annie assisted you well?”
“I believe you will be satisfied.”
Since it was before I left for the mission, my butlers had nothing to worry about.
From my head to my toes, clothes, food, emergency medicine, etc. You have to take care of everything you need to take care of.
In fact, most of the academy students are sons of nobles who have never done a dirty job in their lives.
Since such cadets could sleep on the street for several days, it was usually a big deal from the butler’s point of view.
They should take care of everything they can take care of.
“Annie did a good job.”
“Ho-ho, is that so! I’m glad that It’s very rare for the young master to praise you.”
“thank you. young master. I am impressed.”
Annie smiles softly.
Dalglish laughed as if he was satisfied.
“young master. Anything else you need?”
Dalglish asks me once again. Annie quickly stood beside him, reciting the list of items packed in the notebook.
“I took all my personal equipment except for my armor. In addition, I packed all the necessary snacks and simple shower items to maintain dignity.”
Annie who meticulously crosses the list.
Dalglish also glanced at the list with a sidelong glance. He shook his head as if there was nothing wrong with it.
Well, as far as I can see, I have everything I need to pack. It was also full of cheap items like perfume for removing body odor.
I liked the fact that they paid special attention to cleanliness, but it was to the point where I felt like I had too much luggage.
“Enough. Thank you.”
I thanked Dalglish and Annie for saving all of this. At least I didn’t have to worry about getting dirty from living outside.
“Fortunately, the. The owner and wife also told me to say goodbye to my first mission.”
“Cheer up.”
“All right. Please say thank you.”
“I see.”
Now, every time I think of my parents, it makes me laugh.
I really like the capital city, so this time I’m going to look at the land with the intention of buying a villa in the capital city?
After all, they are hardworking people.
I feel like I’ll be alone on my next vacation.

“came? You waited so long.”
Before the weekend, I went to find the promised armor.
just as expected. Hilda, who is a bitch herself, pouted and grunted.
“Aren’t you late?”
I came right on time for my appointment, so what was I waiting for?
“I want to show you quickly. Follow me.”
“… … ?”
What are you doing to show how great you are?
Hilda led them straight into the studio. The deeper I went, the more I felt the heat.
I knew this would happen and prepared something.
Black magic that makes the surrounding cool!
【Necrotula】 Chapter 1.
It is the black magic recorded on the last page of the human body, and it is said that it was the black magic that the 5th head, Hraman Blackfire, studied while traveling in the desert.
Did you say that your life was in danger because you got lost in the middle of the desert?
It is said that Hraman Blackfire collected a small amount of moisture scattered in the air and the water contained in the cactus.
water is life.
After using black magic, the cactus, which should have lived for decades, became dry and twisted like a mummy.
Since there was no water around, it was a black magic that had to collect as much moisture as possible.
‘Ear cone.’
The sacrifices I will offer are Hilda’s sweat and moisture in the air that have fallen throughout the studio.
Sha-
As I cast the spell, the area around my head felt cool.
The absolute amount of moisture was insufficient, so only my head could be cooled.
This alone is a very useful black magic.
‘It’s good that I memorized it.’
Thanks to this, I was able to appreciate the armor that Hilda made in a fresh mood.
“Tada~ How are you?”
Hilda boasted of her well-hidden armor as if she had hidden treasure. Looking at his expression, he seemed satisfied.
It was a different look from the appearance that was not cheap.
“Hmm.”
I crossed my arms and began examining Hilda’s work.
First of all, the appearance was not special like the Purifier.
It was just an ordinary leather armor that was carefully tanned. It was sleeveless and had a simple design, so it looked perfect when worn over a shirt.
“I like the design.”
“Oh yeah? I would have hated it if I tackled the design.”
“… … .”
Hilda spread her leather armor on the wide stone table.
Up close, the detail was amazing.
It’s hard to believe that this was made in a week.
“I’m only going to explain it once, so listen carefully.”
“Yes.”
“I used the outer shell of a rock orc. I wanted to write something better, but I couldn’t help it because of the lack of budget. If you bring me better ingredients later, I will make it again, so no complaints.”
“Yes. There is not.”
If it’s a rock orc, it’s still among the top-class materials that a freshman can use. The rock orc’s tough skin was so hard that it was difficult to pierce even when the level increased.
‘Performance not sure.’
Hilda pulled out a small iron plate from the space under the table.
“Inside the outer shell, thinly spread steel, which is only produced in Tottama Mountain, is put inside. By giving it shape memory, it will return to its original shape even if it receives a great shock.”
“okay.”
“This is a very difficult job. I hope you show sincerity in your reaction.”
“Wow.”
mate.
He showed sincerity by clapping his hands.
“Just roll up. I am.”
Hilda snorted and continued her explanation. No, I started wearing leather armor.
He groaned and put it over his head. Because of his skinny body, the leather armor was very loose.
‘Is that my size?’
When did you grow up like that? It seemed to be twice as large as Hilda’s torso.
“It would be better to see the abilities given to the armor itself rather than explain it. Will you give me that sword?”
Hilda pointed at the holy sword.
“Come on. I am hot.”
I handed it over to you once again.
Then, he took the holy sword and gave me the sword that was hung on the wall of the workshop.
It was a sharp sword. It felt like I could feel the slightest bit of magic.
‘What is this sword?’
Scared to question, Hilda spreads her arms wide.
“Let’s attack.”
“Yes?”
“Whether stabbing, slashing, or slashing, try to attack.”
Madness flooded Hilda’s eyes.
A very confident face.
‘It’s fun.’
To be so confident in the items he made.
There will definitely be a corner to believe.
Then I have no reason to hesitate.
“going.”
