When the sweat on the tip of Noah’s chin began to drip onto the patient, Tiu, who was waiting next to him, wiped it off with a handkerchief.
It’s been 30 minutes since I started to separate the magical beasts.
Noah was immersed in his work with concentration as if he had forgotten to breathe.
Except for the first 10 minutes when he suddenly said he needed to go deeper and used overdrive, he didn’t say a word.
From the outside, it looked like it was just sitting there.
‘But it’s different.’
Collie was incapable of accurately detecting what was happening in the patient.
However, through Noah’s eyes moving back and forth, I could see that he was still pursuing something.
“Cool!”
“Patient wakes up!”
“Uh, why? It’s obviously in a state of blood flow… … .”
“Catch the patient! In this situation, if the patient goes wild, Noah will be in danger!”
Even in the midst of panic, Collie followed Thiu’s words and grabbed and fixed the patient.
The patient’s blood vessels are all point blood.
It is normal for the patient not to be able to move his body, let alone regain consciousness, but the patient seemed to wake up any moment.
If a patient who has become a beast and loses his reason goes on a rampage, it is natural that Noah, who is connected to it, will be in danger.
‘Even if the young master is like that, what the hell is this kid… … .’
To her, Noah showing off an incomprehensible aura control is also Noah, but Tiu, who casually assists with it, was also strange.
‘What on earth have you been through, can you take this for granted?’
While Collie, who had been commissioned through her own knight training in the Lichtenau estate, questioned Nightray’s education policy, Noah finished the first patient’s treatment.
“It’s done.”
“yes? Bocchan, it’s all over… … .”
“I reduced the weight of my abilities compared to my aura. When you wake up, you’ll be able to keep your sanity. In that state, the way to cancel the demonization is… … I guess I can find out by knocking out the Majin Jipseongje.”
After wiping off the sweat, Noah loosened up from sitting in the same position and moved on to the next person.
“Are you going to continue? Are there more than 30 people? It took so much for one person. At least take a break.”
“I will do as much as I can while I have the senses. From the second time on, it will be faster.”
As said, 20 minutes was enough for the second patient’s treatment.
Then 15 minutes.
13 minutes.
12 minutes.
11 minutes.
10 minutes.
It didn’t take long for Noah to finish treating everyone.
“Whoa!”
As I lay down on the ground with my body drenched in sweat from head to toe, a cool breeze blew.
I was already bothered by the thought of washing and tidying up the barrel that had soaked the inside of my shoes.
“Are you done… … ?”
When Collie asked with a bewildered expression, Noah answered with his eyes closed.
“It will take a while for it to wake up because it consumed energy by becoming a demonic beast and rampaging. I’ll take a nap and see you tomorrow.”

After spending the day in the village, the group moved the people into their homes and decided to stay at Toma’s house.
“what. Was your house the village chief’s house?”
“The village headman has been taking care of me since my parents died.”
Thomas’ parents died when he was young.
The reason Toma wanted to become a knight was to repay the kindness of growing up at the hands of the village chief.
“Same as me.”
“yes?”
“I have lived with my grandfather since I was little. In my case, my father was actually alive, so I met him not too long ago. Whatever.”
“Th-then can I become a knight like you someday?”
“of course. Although I am still a student, not a knight.”
From noble mtl dot com.
It seemed that the tied Jipseongje was still wriggling.
“Sorry, let’s borrow the bathroom.”
“Ah yes! I will prepare it for you!”
Noah, who trusted Thomas and waited, was able to face the boiling hot water after a while.
“Because I am inexperienced in controlling fire… … .”
“How are you? Knights don’t care about this.”
Knights who had mastered the rigid body technique could still enjoy a bath even if the temperature rose to 100 degrees.
Of course, at that point, apart from the water temperature, the temperature of the bath floor is too high, so he will run away.
As I immersed myself in the thought that it would cool down on its own if left alone, I fell asleep.
No matter how controllable it is, Overdrive is a technique that eventually causes auras to run out of control.
Even though only two stages were opened, the consumption of physical strength was considerable.
He was also mentally exhausted from his intense focus on the work of healing, with the burden of putting other people’s lives in his hands.
Because of this, Noah, who had fallen asleep in the bathtub, woke up when he felt a presence nearby.
“… … Tiu?”
“Don’t look this way.”
When Noah, embarrassed by the dream and the incomprehensible situation, tried to turn his head away, ignoring the words, he felt a soft closeness behind his back.
“You can see everything moving, so don’t use your sixth sense.”
“No, even if you say so… … .”
I couldn’t even use my sixth sense, and I could clearly see what I was doing just by feeling the touch on my back.
I could feel Tiu’s body temperature through the towel.
“Didn’t you go to wash separately with Kuina-san and Collie?”
“In the middle, I came out alone.”
“huh?”
“Because opportunities like this don’t come along very often.”
What chance is the chance?
The same sound came up to my throat, so I managed to swallow it.
‘I have to be careful with my words.’
If you stay still, you will go even in the middle.
“Are you tired? I’ll give you a massage.”
“What is that… … .”
Noah, who was about to open his mouth at Tiu’s sudden action, shut his mouth at the ensuing electrical sound.
-Do you think you can trust Mr. Collie?
-I mean, did you suddenly follow me to the bathroom while doing a massage or something to ask about that?
-huh. There is also the possibility of the ability to eavesdrop on electric sounds, so you can’t ask openly, can you? So calmly ask for a massage.
There was a sense of selfishness in the hand caressing the muscles in between, but doubts about Collie were something that Noah had also thought about.
-Jip Seongje came here first as if he knew we were going to move. It’s not like I didn’t doubt Collie at that point either.
It was Collie who connected Macbain to Thiu.
If an enemy was waiting at the place where they were introduced, it was natural to be the first to suspect the person who introduced them.
But this time there were too many people in the middle.
-In the first place, Collie contacted you after hearing about you while practicing in the Knights of Lichtenau, right? So, there must be a lot of people who know this fact.
Collie contacted me because I had been asking around from the beginning.
It wasn’t that they met secretly, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to figure it out.
‘Of course, even with this alone, it’s a story that the Lichtenauer family has a leader in the organization.’
This alone was an important issue, so Noah thought of contacting Michael separately later.
In any case, it means that you cannot pinpoint that Collie will be the leader of the organization.
– If Collie were really the enemy, it would be much more dangerous than now.
If Collie was the enemy, would she have stayed still while she was being captured?
Keep your mouth shut to the end to be sure to deceive.
… … It was unreasonable to think.
They’re students anyway, so they’re going back to Nightray right away.
There was no benefit to her if she had to give up the Jipseongje and go into hiding.
– More than anything… … .
As Tiu’s hand wrapped around his stomach and chest in the middle of the conversation, Noah reflexively turned back.
“Wait too much… … !”
In the meantime, the towel gets caught in your hand.
Tiu, who was holding out both hands for a massage, couldn’t catch the towel unraveling.
Noah’s eyes met Tiu’s, whose eyes widened in surprise.
I desperately stopped my eyes from looking down, but I couldn’t help but get to the part that came into my field of vision.
Hair straightened up for a bath.
The neckline revealed as a result.
A collarbone with water droplets from the humidity in the bathroom.
and… … .
Chow!
Tiu’s touch made the water splash in the bathroom and covered Noah’s eyes.
Cloudy water mixed with limestone clouded the watch.
If there was a problem, it was that the water that floated would pour out someday.
Before it poured, Tiu had to do something.
So Tiu chose to hug Noah’s face and cover his eyes.
Fluffy!
An intense sense of volume covered Noah’s face.
It was close enough that Tiu’s heartbeat could be heard clearly.
“thank you.”
It hadn’t been long since I had been careful with my words, but nonsense came out reflexively.
Did you say that if you stay still, you will go even halfway?
When Tiu looked back and shamelessly thanked Noah for giving him this month, he mercilessly fed him honey chestnuts.
The honey chestnut that made the middle finger stick out like a knuckle boasted tremendous power.

the next morning.
Zip Seongje smiled inwardly as Noah entered the warehouse.
‘They must have been worried about the villagers after putting me in a warehouse for a day?’
Even if he had said that before, there was no way Noah would abandon the people.
In the end, after struggling all day, he could not find a way and returned to himself.
It was unexpected that the alter ego was captured, but it seemed that the original purpose of harassing Noah could be achieved.
“Look at this kid rolling his eyes.”
However, Contrary to Jipseongje’s expectations, Noah picked him up without saying anything and left the warehouse.
‘Hmph, it seems that he is resentful that he bows down in front of me now.’
As long as the villagers are hostages, the absolute advantage lies with oneself.
Such thoughts of Zipseongje were shattered soon after.
‘no!?’
When they reached the center of the village, people greeted Noah.
The villagers, who had apparently lost their temper due to demonic beasts, had become complete demons and returned to their human form before they knew it.
It was unheard of even in the organization for a failed work to succeed in minening later.
‘Oh, how… … ?’
Noah laughed bitterly when he read the reaction of the housekeeper.
“thanks. Thanks to you, I was able to understand the devil.”
‘What?’
Because of what happened here, Noah was able to understand the structure of magical powers and supernatural powers that were propagated by the Seer.
Unlike the past, when I just followed the ability by looking at it, I was able to know for sure.
“With this, it is possible to determine the hidden demons. I won’t be able to move around hiding among people like I do now.”
‘… … !’
entrance of the village.
Reaching the border of the camp, Noah released the camp spread across the village.
Then a figure standing outside appeared in front of them.
“Regina-sama.”
“I came right after receiving a call from Kuina. You captured the guy I missed out on. You can retire now.”
“First of all, I want to ask you to escort this guy. If you lock it in an enclosed space with star fragments, you won’t be able to escape with your superpowers.”
“If that’s the case, you don’t have to tell me. Because His Majesty will come in person.”
“yes?”
It was understandable that Zipseongje would make it clear as he was an executive in the organization.
But unless you can jump through space like Regina, it will take time to get here from Stellarium.
“Okay. If he made up his mind, the move would be in an instant. You should have been contacted by now. You will arrive soon.”
As soon as Regina finished speaking, a light rose.
Blinding brilliance.
Standing in the spot where the light poured in was mankind’s strongest knight.
“Is interest a cumulative system?”
The descent of the Bright Emperor was made at the speed of light.
