Episode 129 – If you rest, you will become more energetic
#One
Rebelly – Malito’s hideout.
No, the club room.
Castro stayed there for days, screaming and despairing.
It was the first time.
The feeling of not being able to get over someone.
At the same age, there was no one who could match him.
The cast iron guardian’s shield was terribly broken and the sword dropped.
The battle was over before the magician could even use his magic.
“I… … I… … .”
＜You are a child who will become a hero.＞
＜He has a good physique and excellent muscle development. Whoa… … You are a child who will grow up.＞
＜hahahaha! There shouldn’t be any rivals in your age group?＞
All those praises passed by like a kaleidoscope.
Were all the stories adults told lies?
No, he really had no opponents.
D’Arin, who was said to be one of the greatest guardians, couldn’t properly pass his sword.
What do warriors say?
A few who challenged after learning that Castro was participating were humiliated.
however-.
“… … snake bastards. Why are you so strong, why!”
The mana contained in the scream swept around.
A club room where no one enters.
Heuuu1999 There was a sense of despair in the breathing that came out as he scratched his neck.
smart-.
At that moment, a sound broke through his screams.
Red, bloodshot eyes swooped around.
“Professor Trevor. I was passing by and heard a noise, so I came to check what was going on.”
“… … .”
Castro pressed his eyelids with both palms.
The eyes that had been sore were filled with warmth.
The throbbing head regained a sense of calm.
You can’t look ugly in front of a professor.
-It seems like you’ve already seen it, but shouldn’t you do well now?
Ah, ah, clearing his throat, he opened the door with a click.
Baggy clothes that covered her skinny physique.
Soft impression and hair swept to one side.
He was an impressive professor with slightly drooping eyes and slender cheeks.
“A Castro student? What’s going on?”
“no. just… … I feel a bit bad.”
“What is going on? If you don’t mind, just talk to me.”
Professor Trevor spoke kindly.
Castro hesitated and shook his head.
There was no need to tell others what to say.
It reminded me of the adults’ request to always be wary of others and not to reveal oneself as a commoner.
However, he didn’t know.
A young animal that is on high alert is the easiest to lure.
There’s nothing to say, since they’re all wounded and starving.
Professor Trevor let out a small sigh.
This poor kid’s talent was amazing even to an ignorant person.
“Could it be because of losing in Dalian?”
“ah… … . no. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“I also have a counselor license. A student at this academy, especially a person overflowing with talent, is frustrated and cannot ignore it.”
Castro’s eyes trembled slightly.
It was the first time that I felt sincere consolation, not anticipation.
The young boy, who had been shrunken, moved slowly.
#2
club room.
Manus stopped by the library and borrowed a book.
Now that he has become a regular customer, the librarian greeted him quite warmly.
It was awkward to reply, so all I could do was nod my head.
5 classes, 6 classes.
It was a book that contained that vast theory.
In addition, the book is also attached to the author’s description to give various inspiration.
It was written by ‘Almir’, who was called the greatest wizard in history.
“senior! We are here!”
“It’s been a while, Manus.”
Those who enter the club room noisily.
In a completely different atmosphere from when he was in the family, Manus also smiled lightly.
Cale, who noticed a smile passing by, smiled at him.
Because his smile was so precious.
Manus looked at his junior who was trying to be like him.
How will it feel when time passes and she reaches maturity?
I was looking forward to her future as she walked alone, not the character she had raised in the original work.
“How high did the tower go up?”
“The 99th floor. I want to go up the 100th floor with you.”
“Good job. After all the schedules for today, let’s meet in the lobby.”
Pearson flashed and raised his hand.
His face was covered with curiosity, so Manus looked at him.
When we were allowed to speak silently, questions poured out like a rapid-fire cannon.
“Our academy building has 100 floors, are you conquering the tower already? Or what more? Can you become a hero in just one month?”
“You’re so excited, I hate to tell you.”
“Eek-.”
Not only Pearson, but everyone else’s eyes showed disappointment.
But Manus had no intention of telling him.
The details are because they have to experience and feel it for themselves.
Manus wanted them to grow.
It’s the little emotions, experiences, and feelings that inspire you.
If you see and feel it with your own two eyes, wouldn’t that feeling come alive?
“See with your own two eyes and feel it. And think for yourself what to do.”
“-yes.”
“Did you find out anything?”
Nia asked abruptly.
Manus shrugged.
You don’t have to tea.
“I don’t know either. That’s all I’ve been researching.”
“Huh… … okay. If you rest, you should go up now. Everyone suffered.”
“Kale, are you going to join the student council?”
Anais asked Cale.
Cale pondered for a moment.
“Can I do well?”
“Yes! The only person I can trust is you.”
“Me, me?”
“you… … Ugh.”
Pearson, who saw Anais sighing lightly, wow! he shouted.
“no! Why me! I’m the one who went with you the most! It’s Pearson! Why am I ignoring you! I- yup yup!”
“Okay, so be quiet.”
The buzzy atmosphere wasn’t bad.
Various perspectives were intertwined to create a variety of atmospheres.
Now we just have to break through the last barrier.
Manus made an appointment and went out to read.
Alano, who had been staring at his back, quietly followed him.
It was because of the child he found before he returned.
I wanted to talk about it because I wondered if it was him.
Allano, who followed carefully, called Manus and stopped him.
“Manus. I have something to tell you.”
Manus looked back at her wordlessly.
Alano looked around and opened his mouth.
“Have you seen any strange kids around you?”
“What if it’s a strange kid?”
“Your presence is very faint… … No, there was no one, so no one recognized him.”
Manus had a riser.
A person wearing half-vulture uniform and carrying dual-wielding swords behind his back.
There was a time when I had a conversation with myself.
Did Alano see the child too?
Certainly, this was interesting.
A child who only sees Alano and himself.
It was well worth sharing.
“I’ve seen it too. He was definitely a strange kid.”
“Seeing that it has physical power, I don’t think it’s a ghost or a monster.”
“hmm… … . I think so too.”
What do you think of Alano?
I decided to listen to her thoughts.
“So, what do you want to do?”
“I wonder if I should watch it. If only we could see… … I want to know why it happened.”
“Being able to exercise physical force also means being able to cause accidents.”
Alano nodded.
Being invisible was a huge advantage, but at the same time, it was a very dangerous thing.
The moment you get a bad heart and say you will kill them all, an unprecedented disaster will unfold in the academy.
Alano’s complexion turned a little pale, as if he had thought similar to Manus and added imagination.
Of course, such an incident should not have happened.
still an innocent child.
If the long-held wound festers and bursts, something will surely happen.
“You have to stop it. Because nothing terrible can happen… … . Can’t you see the other children?”
“You’ll have to watch it to know.”
“I will take it. Because there is no time at all.”
Manus nodded.
If Alano voluntarily takes over, he will also have a place to de-stress.
She was a benevolent person.
Even in games, she was compared to the saintess.
Alano nodded with a determined expression and moved on.
Maybe he’s going to find the child.
Manus looked behind her and moved slowly.
[Strong interference has begun.]
[The world line shows signs of twisting.]
Leaving behind an ominous message.
Climbing up the string of knowledge he held on to, he walked down the street to face the giant magician.
Interference, which is no longer a big deal, continues today.
#3
As the sun was dyeing his cheeks at the edge of the horizon, Alano spotted a child strolling leisurely through the schoolyard.
A thousand thoughts passed through my mind.
where do you sleep
What to eat?
Where else do you go to solve other day-to-day problems?
I’ll have to ask first
The boy looked back at the sound of stepping on the grass.
“uh? Senior Alano!”
“What are you doing here? rice is?”
“ah… … I just ate.”
What he said while rolling his eyes was very likely that he had picked up or stole something strange somewhere.
Alano led the boy, thinking no way.
smaller than peers.
A skinny physique that doesn’t know if he can wield a sword.
“Follow me. You have to eat properly.”
“… … really?”
“huh. Please tell me a little bit about what happened.”
The boy hesitated and nodded.
Harrison Allano.
Her reputation was well known.
Besides, what is a familiar feeling without knowing why?
The boy involuntarily moved his steps and opened his mouth.
Why do you have to come to yourself and treat yourself like this?
“Why are you being nice to me? It’s different from Manus-senpai.”
“I’m managing it so you don’t get into an accident. When you’re full, you feel better.”
“… … thank you.”
The boy smiled and followed Alano.
After bringing a lot of things to eat with both hands from the kitchen, the two headed to a place where people were rare.
Watching him gobble it up, Alano stared blankly at the boy.
“If you have a request or need anything, come to me. I’ll tell Manus too… … Go see him too.”
“… … Will that senior help me?”
“It may seem like that, but Manus has a lot of affection. At least I think so.”
“Isn’t it because the senior is so good? I want to keep you by my side… … There is such a thing.”
At the boy’s cute words, Alano laughed out loud.
Come to think of it, I wondered what Manus thought of him.
“Huh, I wish I was that attractive. We’ve known each other since childhood. childhood friend? It was like that.”
“ah… … . all right. But I don’t want to be a nuisance, so I’ll do my best by myself. The only thing that doesn’t work… … .”
“They say that if you live with your mouth shut for a long time, you forget how to speak. Have you ever spoken to anyone but me?”
The boy shook his head.
Alano continued without losing his benevolent smile.
“Human beings live together, so they say that in the end you can’t do anything alone. Even the warriors in old stories all had companions.”
Alano’s words warmly and gently penetrated the boy’s mind.
For the first time, the pupils of others were reflected in the bright eyes of the boy.
“So, rather than being alone, it would be better to have at least two acquaintances.”
After that, Alano stood up from his seat.
The faint ringing of the pocket watch announced the appointment time.
She turned to look at the boy one last time.
‘Grady.’
Manus said the name wasn’t in the school.
“Your name is Grady, right? Shall we call it that?”
“no.”
The boy shook his head.
“… … Trace.”
A quiet groaning sound could be heard clearly in her ears.
‘Trace.’
It was a very suitable name for a child who was chasing his disappearing traces.
