098. Hungry Party (3)
“What? What are you talking about.”
Ackerman looked up at me with a silly face.
If the main character is making such a face, do I get angry or not?
The Ackerman I know is not such a weakling.
“wake up. Let’s fight.”
“… … ?”
My original course of action was to never get along with Ackerman, but this time was an exception.
Ackerman was still dazed. I said with a bitter smile.
“Let’s stick together for the first time in a while.”
“uh? suddenly?”
Originally, in order to defeat Ackerman properly, I had received a wish ticket.
However, saying something like ‘I will use it to beat you!’ was not good no matter how much I thought about it.
I could come up with any number of excuses to fight. Because we were a combat system that lived by fighting.
I quietly took out the purifier and held it up. If it didn’t happen, it was an indication that he would strike first.
It was funny to say let’s fight, but there was no other option.
Sit quietly and you’re out of your mind. It is impossible to discipline. As Acheron sneaked up on me, I also relieved my conscience and began to argue.
If it’s a man, there are times when it’s cheaper to eat with your body than words.
Ackerman glanced at the holy sword. My eyes narrow, and I let out a deep sigh.
“… … great.”
Ackerman stood up, somewhat helpless. It was a different look from the guy who never took it off in Dalian.
A chilly silence enveloped the empty gym. The source of the chill was the strange discomfort that came and went between the two of us.
They are not particularly friendly, but only get involved in bad things. He won’t even look at me well.
In such a situation, it would be difficult to figure out what he was trying to say when he said that he would do sparring. I vaguely think that I have remnants on myself.
“Goes.”
You don’t have to figure out what’s inside me. It’s just that Ackerman realizes his problem and helps him rise.
–!
After rushing at him quickly, I raised my sword diagonally. Ackerman crouched down to block the precise yet effortless blow.
The attack continued. My sword attack, digging through again in the gap to take a breather, was truly a flash of light.
Even Ackerman’s defense was not easily tolerated.
Ackerman let out a short groan and stepped back as he managed to cut through his head and shoulders.
“Keugh.”
For sparring, he exhaled a lot of wild and vicious speculation.
If you don’t do your best-
Ackerman is helplessly defeated.
Dig into the arms of a guy who doesn’t even have the will to fight yet. Ackerman’s weak stab was let go at once and the gap closed.
As the sun went down, the gym started to fill with steel noise and sparks.
Dig–!
“Ugh… … !”
Pushing away the attached sword, I kicked him in the chest with my foot.
distanced from each other. Ackerman gasps and glares at me. Due to the sword attack that came and went in a short moment, the difference in skill was clearly confirmed.
The current Ackerman is no match for me.
Feeling resentful of that fact, Ackerman also changed his mood. Have you ever thought of being a little more sincere?
His gaze and atmosphere were 180 degrees different from before.
Ackerman gripped the sword with both hands.
The famous sword that the Duke of Trello should have presented as a gift was keying and shed a clear black color.
“Now it starts!”
– Hoo. I like your eyes now.
Acheron seemed to have the same thoughts as me. Yes, even if your skills are a bit weak, the main character must have that kind of ‘venom’.
That way, I won’t fall apart from today’s humiliation, and I’ll chew it carefully and swallow it as nourishment for growth.
Sigh, I lowered my body and gripped the sword by the side of my cheek.
At the same time, the world slows down.
The sinking dust, the flow of air, the breath, the rush of Ackerman. It looked like a slowed-down scene.
I can’t wait to see what will happen if I sharpen the characteristics of a descendant of the Sword Saint to the limit.
‘see.’
Ackerman’s next number.
Ackerman’s thigh muscles were swelling. He must be thinking of jumping up and landing a blow.
“Water Dragon Repulsion”
It is an attack that reinforces the destructive power of Ackerman’s skill, ‘Water Dragon’.
There was no way it would work for me, who knew all of his skills.
There were various ways to break the water dragon attack. However-
‘Overwhelming win.’
Overwhelming enough to feel trivial.
In an instant, a tremendous amount of mana flowed through his body. Dark red mana bloomed like a haze and wrapped around the purifier.
A sword skill that only Ackerman can’t use yet.
It was the moment when I, who was a third-class extra when I entered the school, surpassed the main character.
—!
.
.
.
.
.
When the gale stopped in an instant and he accurately recognized the situation in front of his eyes, Ackerman was flying far away.
Ackerman let go of his sword and let out a heavy breath.
It was as if he was denying the overwhelmingly defeated situation.
clap.
The fighting spirit cooled. No matter what, Ackerman can’t reach me. It was much more boring than expected. When I fought Ackerman last year, I had high expectations, but now I am full of disappointment.
I looked down at Ackerman with a mocking expression.
“disappointed.”
“… … What?”
“I wasn’t that weak.”
sereung. I put the purifier into the scabbard. As if it wasn’t worth fighting anymore, even though Ackerman didn’t admit defeat.
“Oh, it’s not over yet!”
“finished.”
Ackerman tried to get up, but his strength gave out and he collapsed.
“… … Kut! sh*t!”
Ackerman bit his lip. It was an expression of resentment toward a body that did not listen.
I looked at him with the coldest possible gaze. And his eyes were fixed on his necklace.
‘necklace… … .’
It’s a necklace I’ve never seen before. It wasn’t even an optional item.
That must mean that the necklace was a gift from Princess Elise.
I alternately looked at the necklace once as if I was sorry for him and then Ackerman’s face as if he was looking at me with resentment. He sighs immediately. very loud
Was this humiliating enough?
Despite Ackerman’s glaring eyes with gritted teeth, I steadfastly acted as an unlucky motive.
Stimulation.
The humiliation of losing to someone he considered inferior to himself was something Ackerman could not bear.
I’ll think about it Is it right to live like this? Why am I like this?
Whether you break up with the gongnyeo, or stay alert and focus on training even if you don’t break up… … . From now on, it’s purely up to him.
All I could do was this. I thought about hitting more, but only my arm would hurt.
Soon, his gaze, which had been soaring like flames, faded. He smiled dejectedly, even though he was weak.
“Ackerman.”
“… … .”
Although I said I made it that way, it was true that seeing Ackerman in a state of disrepair made me weak.
So, I opened my mouth to ask for some comfort…
“sorry.”
“… … ?”
“kidnap… … .”
He is the first to apologize to me. Even with deeply sunken eyes.
“I don’t think I spoke properly because I was not in a good mood at the time.”
I had no desire to apologize. I hope you come to your senses.
“And thank you. For giving me a blow.”
“What?”
“It feels sobering.”
“that… … Is it?”
I did it because I wanted you to come to your senses, but so quickly? Are you lucky?
Or rather, should I say Ackerman-like? Because he’s a simple guy.
“I will definitely win next time. Let’s stick together then.”
“I’ll never fight a guy who lost once.”
“Uh… … ?”
I quickly left the gym, ignoring Ackerman’s courageous challenge.
As a result, it seemed to be successful, so my steps were light.
– The last one was a bit ugly.
‘It’s not that I’m afraid I’ll lose, I just don’t want to get involved.’
The Acheron guy is saying that he doesn’t know that I’m a possessor. You can’t get involved with the main character.
-huh. trust me
‘No, it’s real.’
– Do you understand? Why are you being so sensitive?
‘Let’s not talk.’
Oh, I really want to throw away this old sword.
* * *
Last vacation was a happy everyday life that Ackerman had never experienced in his life.
Saying that a beautiful princess likes it, she sends a bright smile like a spring flower. Luxurious food could be eaten every day, and there was the honor of being a member of a ducal family.
His wish to one day succeed with the sword had come true.
wealth and honor. And because I even got a spouse who loves me.
But Ackerman always felt thirsty.
Despite this man’s overflowing happiness, he was not truly at ease.
The feeling that something is lost. feeling of being deprived. something unfulfilled.
it was a sword
The setting sun that had colored the gym floor in vermilion had also disappeared, and it was a moonlit night. Ackerman pondered over and over again.
Two defeats in a row today.
He was defeated mercilessly by both the failed student and Aren Blackfire.
He hadn’t been so helpless since Ackerman’s grip on the sword.
The first defeat was just depressing. He thought that failing students were really strong and that he was a genius, but he was just a frog in a well.
What do we do?
Why am I so helpless?
When I was hugging my knees depressed, Aren came to me.
The first words he uttered were ‘Stand upright’ and ‘Let’s fight.’ I don’t know why you came It was also strange that they were suddenly sparring. I don’t know if it’s a font, but Aren wasn’t that kind of guy.
To Ackerman, Aren was like a benefactor who had come to teach. In fact, Aren must have been taking out his anger on the kidnapping, but Ackerman felt a lot thanks to that.
If this is the case, it will be a really big deal.
Others are hitting and climbing up, and there are big walls over there, but you are walking in place. No, it was rather backward.
It was my dream to walk the path of the sword and become the best swordsman… … . I was complacent in the comfortable reality and missed my dream.
– Go ahead with what you think is right. If I have to apologize for doing something wrong, I apologize and if there is something to be stubborn, I am stubborn. if you think that’s right
Elise flickered before my eyes.
“okay.”
Eventually, Ackerman made a promise.
“If you think it’s right.”
Ackerman brushed his ass off and stood up, again gripping his sword.
“You have to push.”
Let’s solve it one by one.
First, I need to find Eins.
I should go and relieve Aren’s resentment and receive proper punishment.
After that, she is a public woman.
I hadn’t decided whether to break up with the princess yet, but I wanted to have a conversation. that your heart is like this I don’t want to give up the sword path.
… … Because Elise is smart and understanding. will give you the answer
“It is very late.”
It’s time for the vice principal’s office and Elace to rest.
“After the weekend, let’s visit.”
Instead, Ackerman began practicing alone in an empty gym.

“Kyaaa!!! What??!!”
I was assigned a new dormitory.
However, before vacation, they promised to share a room, and the request was accepted, and Sianna and Lily became roommates once more.
As soon as she saw Sianna, Lily rushed to her and asked if she was happy to see her or how she was doing. Although Shiana was embarrassed by Lily, she didn’t hate it.
Because I vaguely felt that this was a ‘friend’. Aren and I were friends with a different feeling.
The two girls, whom they met after a long time, prepared alcohol and food from the first day of the semester to relieve their anger.
It was a wine called ‘Gyatto Siem’ that Lily had obtained on a trip during vacation. Only 8,000 bottles a year are produced in small quantities, so the value is rare.
High-quality alcohol is served with sweet and cute side dishes. These are the foods Lily prepared with special care.
In fact, there was another reason for Lily making such a fuss.
“You mean I stayed at Arene’s house during vacation!?”
It was because I heard what Sianna was doing during her vacation.
Upon hearing that, Lily said, ‘Sleep!’ Screaming, ‘I just can’t hear this funny talk. siana? What we need today is alcohol.’
He bites off a cheesecake the size of his fingernail and swallows the wine. The fragrant grape scent fills the mouth and stimulates the appetite, and the sweet and savory taste of the cheese blends with the scent of wine to show off the heavenly taste.
Alright, the preparations are over.
Lily brushed her wet hair to one side, her eyes shining brightly.
“hurry! Clearly, how did he end up staying at the boy’s house! What did you go and do! Let me clarify what happened.”
An atmosphere close to interrogation. Lily could hardly contain her excitement.
“Hee hee… … Lily Jo, wouldn’t it be better to calm down a little?”
Shiana tries to gently tear away Lily, who is pushing her to the point of being burdensome. But Lily doesn’t even eat the seeds.
“What! how! I spent months at the house of an extramarital man! now! Do I look real!? speak quickly Because I’m dizzy.”
Lily stirred her wine glass and gave her a sly look.
‘Should I tell you the truth… … ?’
Siana was troubled. In fact, there were a lot of things I wanted to consult with Lily. love with friends. It was because I didn’t know the boundary between the two, and Annie who would listen to me like this was now far away.
So Siana ate a big heart. If you’re going to ask for advice, you have to be honest about it.
“Hey… … .”
“Mmmm.”
Lily sips her wine and nods. Her painted eyebrows danced eagerly.
“Did I sleep in bed with Aren?”
Whoops—-!
Lily exhaled.
