“… … ”
“… … Whoops!”
—Kang! Kaang!
Now, it’s slowly getting to the limit.
“… … ”
“… … Whoa!”
—Kang! Kaang! Kang! Kang! can-can-
A sword attack that stabs at extreme speed.
Even though the fact that I can follow the sword with my eyes is proof of the fact that they have been watching me for a long time, I can only take a clumsy counterattack.
“Whoops, whoops… … ”
“… … ”
The center of gravity of both feet has long since collapsed.
Infinitely pushed back and pushed back, in the end, the end of the gymnasium does not barely escape, and the situation is just repeating the retreat in the form of an ellipse.
There is no time to fight back, let alone time to catch a breath.
I’m just concentrating my whole mind not to let go of the slippery swords because of sweat dripping down my palms.
Victory is not seen
Of course.
It is absolutely impossible for me to argue for victory against the Seven Swords of the Empire.
—Kang! A lot of cards!
Abel’s sword that draws a sharp trajectory and draws a diagonal line.
It must have been a mock battle in the name of a test, but the feeling of a gloomy life trying to cut my throat comes mercilessly attacking me.
I try to take a defensive stance quickly.
—Kan!
“ね-!”
You are greatly pushed back, and you lose your center once again.
How many points will this be deducted?
I can not know.
If it was an ordinary lecture, the professor would have told me what my mistake was just by mouth, but it’s different now.
“… … ”
A relentless test in which a moment’s defeat determines everything.
The professor silently evaluated the students’ abilities.
stumble-
Posture shakes and twists. A recoil is coming as he forcibly awakens his exhaustion to the limit and stands up with his sword.
The moment it goes on like this, Abel’s sword will pierce my neck and come in.
At that moment, the test is over.
Then I think
‘Now, no more… … ‘
… … Maybe I could have done this
accept defeat,
Could it be okay to stop?

Deductions and tests, what do you know?
Now my body looks like it’s going to explode.
I wish I had worked so hard. If you have developed this much, you should have worked so hard to achieve great results. The professor knows that too. There are few students here who have made as great progress as me.
Abel is also an Epic class professor, so he must be aware of my circumstances in which I had no choice but to miss class.
Above all, my condition is not very good. Perhaps it is because the body has exceeded the limits of what it can withstand, and the corners of her eyes are trembling, and so are the tips of her fingers. This is a phenomenon that has been going on since the beginning of the exam. I’m starting to feel a little dizzy too. It wouldn’t be strange at all if I lost my mind and collapsed like this.
So, if the professor finds out that I wasn’t in good shape from the beginning… … No, you may already know this.
oh shit. My head hurts and I keep losing thoughts.
Anyway, I had some backstory.
even taking that into account.
A little, I won’t give you a generous score—-
‘Do not be ridiculous.’
Abel did not speak as usual.
I don’t even try to correct my wrong behavior. Because this was a test that was taken under strict evaluation criteria.
‘Are you just giving up like this, are you?’
However, Abel was speaking clearly.
With that hardened face.
With the cold eyes stuck in the middle.
“dissappointed.”
Obviously, he was telling me that he was disappointed.
─Whoa!
“… …ね!!”
“… … !”
My body was curved like a half moon.
He opened his eyes to the point of spitting out blood vessels, and clenched his teeth. He almost lost the hilt from his hand. No matter what happens, don’t let go of the sword.
The gap between Abel and I narrows, and Abel’s sword pierces my neck. One sword. Everything should have been done with just one move.
Abel’s stab cuts through the air.
—Saraak.
A part of the bangs that fluttered for a while were cut off.
After bending my back and placing one hand on the ground, I succeeded in evading for a moment, twisting my joints in one breath and kicking my leg.
─Boo-woong!
If it’s a mistake, it’s a mistake. After all, there’s no way a strong person like Abel can’t defend against this poorly crafted skill. Above all else, it has absolute power. Even if the hit succeeded, it wouldn’t mean much.
However, Abel was conducting tests according to the level of the students. That’s why–
─Percussion!
Instead of simply blocking my kick with my steel arms, I chose the option of maneuvering my flexible body and rolling sideways to avoid it.
‘… … done!’
Using the gap created at that moment, he quickly bounced his body up. He didn’t even let go of the sword. Hold tight to the slippery hilt.
My back creaked a little due to the excessive movement, but this was nothing. You’ll be fine if you get a good night’s sleep anyway. Because the newly acquired body is so deceptive.
“Whoops, whoops… … ”
great. Let’s hold on like this a little longer.
I have to show my limits here.
Picking an unstable breath and adjusting his posture, Abel disappeared at some point.
… … are you disappearing?
Abel’s figure is nowhere to be seen.
It must have been an instantaneous moment when I realized that I was completely outside the radius of my eyes.
“Don’t make it this far.”
At the same time as the first word of the voice “Wo-” is heard.
Abel’s sword rushes in a perfect RBI that cannot be prevented or avoided.
… oh
‘No more… tiring.’
A swordsmanship that signals the end of the exam.
The spectators who were watching the match with Abel over there must have had the same thoughts as me.
‘Is it the end?’
I had a gut feeling that my turn was over.
yes–
I felt it.
I didn’t look back where Abel was supposed to be. I couldn’t. Because there was no bird to turn his face. It was such a flash of light.
spurt.
The arm moved first.
Hold the hilt with both hands.
Put your hands behind your shoulders.
Protect your neck and back.
─Kan!!
“… … !”
A merciless vibration spreads through the bones along the body.
I blocked it, but I couldn’t stop it.
My body, which had received the inexorable power of the sword strike that drew the half-moon, collapsed powerlessly and was thrown to the floor.

“Of course, I was going to stop right before, but… … I didn’t know you would react. It was definitely a sword path that far exceeded your level.”
“Hey, Ezio! Are you okay?!”
“That guy… … ”

Did I run out of all my energy? I can’t even hear what anyone is saying, I just bury my face on the floor and look at the dark background.
“Number 15, Ezio Cranil. End of exam. Good work. This is the end of the evaluation of all the students… … ”
“Come on, calm down, Ezio! professor! Mr. Ezio… … !”
“No. 3, Stella de Feltrein. don’t fuss It must be mild exhaustion.”
“Go, light… … ?!”
“okay. Take him with you and give him a rest, and he’ll get better soon. Above all, maintaining sufficient energy before the test is one of the most important parts. I don’t know why they ruined my body so much, but don’t hold me accountable because I’m exhausted by pushing my limits. As a professor, I just gave a fair evaluation.”
The body trembles and trembles, and even a hidden hyperventilation is rough as if it had come. The blood flow in the whole body goes wild, and the feeling of a runaway is burning inside.
‘It was too much… … ‘
One of the hazy scenes in my memory comes to mind. Did the senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, etc. all over his body become paralyzed and he slowly died without feeling anything? It’s as if the helplessness of that time is recreated… …
“Mr. Ezio!”
The dark vision suddenly brightened.
At the same time as my head was spinning and I was dizzy, faint silhouettes filled my vision.
It was difficult to distinguish them properly because they were not clear, but it was not difficult to recognize them because of their unusual hair colors.
silver and green.
“So I told you not to overdo it… … From the moment I greeted you today, you seemed to be having a hard time, and in the end… … ”
“Stella, hold her arm. You have to get up first.”
“Hey, I don’t know if I’ll be able to stand up… … ”
He grabs my sweat-drenched hands and arms, and tries to pull me straight up. It was obviously dizzy, but it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t come to my senses at all.
“done… … Let go, both of you.”
“Eh, Ezio?”
“Uh, are you okay?”
Shake off your hands, touch the ground for a moment, and then slowly get up. Silences flowed one after another, but he staggered without hesitation and barely regained his balance.
Whoa – A low sigh bursts out.
“Look, it’s nothing… … ”
“Mr. Ezio!”
“Yumma!”
Stella and Gabriel hurriedly grabbed my staggering body from both sides. what, why My body is not like mine. No way… …
“Hey, should I take you to the infirmary first?”
“I guess so. I really wanted to be strong too.”
“Because it’s not like that… … ”
He was being dragged along while being so denial.
“… … Today’s exam is all over with this. Everyone worked hard, so let’s go back. If there are other exams left, go ahead and prepare.”
Abel announces the end in a light tone.
I gently raise my eyelids and look at him.
Although he faced all the battles with the few students one by one, Abel’s momentum didn’t seem to be as disturbed as at the beginning.
Even the fierce battle that took place from the beginning did not seem to have done much damage to Abel in the end.
tell me though… …
It was really great, two sword dancers.
As if they had just dealt with the sword, the sword was barely visible, and no one except them knew where the sword was exchanged.
just in the void.
Only white stems remain, and only black marks remain.
The secret of swordsmanship unfolded by those who have reached the limit of the sword. It was like art.
If you dare to try to understand it through the eyes of an ordinary person, only bizarre sentiments will be left behind… such art.
However, if there is one fact that we can fully feel and cannot deny—that is, it is very beautiful.
Abel’s swordsmanship brought a new shock every time.
Mew’s swordsmanship was unchangingly beautiful.
“Is the infirmary near here?”
“As far as I can remember, it won’t be very far from here in Gebra. I know the location, so I will guide you.”
“The infirmary… Because… just… In my room… … ”
“Ezio, be quiet!”
“… … ”
After taking the first test, the image of Mew, who stood still and watched all the battles, reached the edge of my gaze just before I left the door while being dragged by Stella and Gabriel.
“… … ”
“Senior, senior! Can you hear me? me, do you know me? I am Mu. senior girlfriend. It’s Mu… … Black, whoops. black… … 」
just once.
nothing more and nothing less,
Really only once.
“… … yes? Don’t be so fussy! How serious is a cold? I can’t even move in bed at all. And do you know how sad it is to be sick alone? I know. So I am here.”
Mew once visited my house.
That time, maybe… …
“Senior, I will continue to take care of you until you get better. … … How did you find out about the house? Hey, what do you do if you don’t even know about being a girlfriend? Even if you’ve never told me, you should of course know! … … lock? That, well… ? Anyway! Isn’t it the most important thing that a cute and pretty girlfriend came to take care of you?”
“Are you attending school? Senior, when did you see me taking care of that? After all, this school pushes me a lot? I can’t do anything recklessly if I fall for a day or two without permission. 」
“Originally, it’s okay to sleep well when you’re sick, but if you’re sick, you might have nightmares for nothing, so I’ll tell you anything next to me. Let’s see… … what would be good If possible, dream of me, can I tell you my secret story? just since Heh heh.”
“right. Senior, I have something to apologize in advance… … The porridge I made may not taste very good. I’m good at everything else, but cooking is really… … You know? But I don’t want to feed my seniors what they sell outside, so I just made it myself. If it’s my girlfriend, I think I’ll have to feed it myself. It’s just like that, haha… … Still, if you are a senior, you will surely enjoy it, right? Because I really like that kind of seniority.”
“Senior, the heat is very hot. … … It hurts a lot?”
“I hate being sick. scary. So I hope that seniors don’t get sick either. … … Senior, is it really just a cold? There’s no such thing as a bottle hidden from me… … ?」
“… … Yes, I know. My senior never lies to me.”
“So, senior, don’t get sick.”
when leaving the classroom door.
Mew was still there, and as I was moving away from it, I couldn’t see her face properly.
“If your senior is sick… … It hurts me more.”
Even so, I could easily recognize that the voice in my ear right now was never real.
“… … flaw.”
“Stella, she’s smiling. What, all of a sudden?”
“Eh, Ezio-san… ?”
I stopped laughing out loud and closed my eyelids after surrendering myself to the power of the people who led me.

“Hey… … I’m totally screwed… … Sasha is over… … I’m sure you’ll get a failing point… … ”
“… … ”
“So I asked him to teach me swordsmanship… … I don’t even listen… … If Sasha fails, it’s because of you, heh… … ”
“… … ”
“It’s because of you, because of you… … ”
“… … ”
“… … Hey, are you sleeping? Why are you standing like that?”
“… … ”
I stood still and closed my eyes until there was no one left except Sasha and Mew in the empty classroom.
─Ugh.
“Hey! Whoa, surprise! Say it in words!”
“… … ”
now it’s invisible
open your eyes
So, look around for a while.
– Oh, Mr. Ezio! Are you okay?!
– Come on, come on, Ezio! professor! Mr. Ezio… … !
– So I told you not to overdo it… … From the moment I greeted you today, you seemed to be having a hard time, and in the end… …
– Hey, should I take you to the infirmary first?
– I guess so. I was like, I thought I was kind of strong too.
“… … ”
thump, thump.
“Hey, hey! go with me! Why are you going alone again?”
Ignoring the calls from behind.
Before slamming the closed classroom door open.
“… … 👌”
His head tilted down very slightly, and his tightly closed lower lip chewed.
Whoops.
… …
──.
Let’s put our hands on the left chest,
It feels essentially different from a heart pulsation.
The other fist is clenched tightly.
Close your eyes tightly.
Shaking my shoulders
‘… … no. you’ve been patient music.’
—Drumble.
After raising her eyelids again, Mew strode out of the classroom, muttering her own words to herself.
