Road to Academy (2)
The reason for the early encounter with Libya was most likely because the events that happened in the original story did not happen.
According to the original development, I should have been attacked by Klujak in Iserak Forest.
However, there was no chance that the already dead Klujak could attack me, so the carriage ran through the forest without hesitation.
At this time, the timeline of the incident must have been twisted.
‘Come to think of it, when Livia came to the academy, it was set up that she traveled alone. Has there ever been an incident like this?’
At this point, it is questionable how Libya, who was under the control of the beasts, was able to come to the academy safely.
After regurgitating what was in her stomach, Livia fainted as if she had exhausted her last stamina.
Honestly, I’m glad she lost her mind.
‘I don’t want to run into you here!’
When our eyes met earlier, I felt as if I had slashed my back with a knife made of ice.
That much, I was wary of Libya.
Libya is like an incarnation of love.
To the extent that it is, blinded by love for the main character, he will ‘assassinate’ anyone who harms him even a little.
So, the achievements related to Libya that can be checked in the achievement window of the system were these.

In the novel, because of Livia’s obsession with the main character, she secretly kills the characters to survive.
So I had a thorough plan up until now.
Isn’t there the simplest solution?
‘Don’t obsess over me.’
I had made it my policy to stay out of touch with Libya no matter what.
Let’s pretend Libya doesn’t exist.
If I don’t get involved, Libya won’t become obsessed with me, and no one will die.
However, despite my resolve, I met Libya very early.
Even the knights were walking toward me, carrying the fainting Livia in their arms.
“Would it be okay?”
Nias tugged at the hem of my clothes, worried.
“I don’t know.”
“I hope you are safe. You look really pretty!”
Nias moved her feet.
okay. pretty don’t have to be pretty
It’s scarier than anyone else, but that’s what I mean.
“What should I do with this girl? Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to have any major injuries, but he seems to be in a state of exhaustion.”
The knights asked me while holding Libya.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to stick with the original policy.
If you’ve already encountered it, it’s enough to treat it as if you didn’t encounter it at all.
“throw away. somewhere nearby.”
At my words that jumped out without hesitation, everyone’s eyes widened, from the knights, coachmen, and other servants to Nias at the end.
“Bur, did you say… throw it away?”
It was a startling voice.
“But you mean to leave such a delicate girl… on the side of the road?”
a slender girl?
I looked at Libya, drenched in blood, with fear.
“Just leave it. No, leave it as far away from this spot as possible.”
I spoke more emphatically.
It is better to keep it far away so that it cannot be chased at all.
“Ha, but, Bocchan. Then the Witchbeast may attack you again.”
Nias also looked at me with bewildered eyes and tugged at the hem of his clothes.
“What?”
“I feel sorry for that person. Alone in a place like this…”
Not only that, but the knights and soldiers who were watching this situation began to gossip.
A special ability to expand the senses that I bought for 10000 points.
When I was concentrating on the target, I could hear them muttering softly in my ears because of the sensitive nature of sight and hearing.
“I heard that it’s vicious… And if you leave it there, you’ll leave it. What else does it mean to keep it as far away as possible?”
“He said he treated his exclusive maid so harshly. The personality is already…”
“A poor girl like this would be fine if I just helped her. You say you have great abilities. Even if it could be done with a little magic.”
“That kind of personality… a candidate for the hero?”
The guy who said the last thing thought about punishing me somehow, but just gave up.
Because of my bad reputation from bullying Nias, of course there was no way that I would get a good sound out of it.
“I will not?”
I tilted my head in displeasure. Then he raised one eyebrow and said.
“Yes, I understand.”
The knight threw a pitying glance at Livia and tried to back off with an expression that was hard to understand.
at that time.
Suddenly, blood flowed from Livia’s mouth.
At first, I thought it was the blood of the beast, but there was no way it was.
It was Libya’s own blood.
“…? for a moment!”
Embarrassed, I stopped the knight from leaving and jumped off the carriage.
I put my hand on Libya’s head and checked the magic inside.
The existing magic power remaining in Libya’s body and the newly absorbed magic power were causing resistance and damaging organs.
A typical mana conflict condition.
If left alone, you will lose your life.
‘Could it be that he crawled directly under the Witchbeast?’
Then it will be explained.
Libya, who was lacking in magical power, intended to recover her magical power with the blood of a magical beast.
Accepting the demon’s magical power is a means of quickly recovering the magical power.
However, if the mana that enters the body is not properly refined, the two types of mana cannot mix, which can be dangerous.
Libya must have been calmly absorbing mana from below, but the knights forcibly took her out and threw it away.
“Put it down.”
“yes?”
“hurry!”
When I got angry, the knight hurriedly put Libya on the ground.
We couldn’t let Libya die like this.
Even if I didn’t have Libya by my side, Libya had to be alive.
[99. Defeat ??? with everyone in the party alive. – Reward: Right to do ???]
This group is obviously referring to the existing warrior party members in the novel.
As long as there were achievements like this, I couldn’t let Libya die.
Even for my lasting peace!
“From now on, no one touches me.”
I gave a menacing warning and put my hand on Libya’s stomach.
From the center of her body, she intended to finely control the mana within Libya’s body.
First, I channeled my mana into every corner of Libya’s body.
Then, I swallowed it with my own magic that spilled the magical power of the Witchbeast that was colliding with Libya’s original magical power.
Absorbing Libya’s mana while being careful not to rebel against it was a detailed task that made all the nerves in my body stand on edge.
“Mmm…”
But in the end it did.
It was fortunate that he had done something similar when he saved Elina from the curse before.
Little by little, the mana he swallowed up began to melt into Libya’s mana.
Even the slightest mistake could cause Libya to die in an instant due to the repulsion of mana.
I had to be careful.

Just like a mother bird feeding her baby birds.
gradually. gradually.
Only enough mana could be digested by Libya.
And at that moment, something hot came up my gullet.
Crying.
Along with the pain of twisting his intestines, he tasted blood in his mouth.
After a long time controlling the fine magic power, it seemed that my body was also strained.
Even as I tasted the taste of blood in my mouth, I did not lose my concentration.

Just one moment.
If she loses her guard even for a moment, Libya will die.
And the moment Libya dies, there is a possibility that I will die as well because of the reverse flow of mana.
It was so intense that I couldn’t tell whether it was 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or more.
The smell of blood in my mouth grew stronger.
All the while, only Libya was filling my vision.
As the mana was absorbed, the amount of blood flowing from Livia’s mouth began to decrease.
Her complexion became more comfortable, and Livia’s breathing calmed down.
“ha.”
After everything was over, I was finally able to let out a long breath.
“done.”
Libya no longer had the magic of the evil beast left in her body.
A state where every last drop was absorbed by Libya.
Libya, which was on the verge of life and death, came to life.
When I came to my senses, I began to hear sounds around me.
“What did the young master do now…?”
“Are you okay?”
“That girl, it seems that her complexion has improved?”
Knights and servants who were not well versed in magic seemed not to know what I had done yet.
It’s better if you don’t know that I saved Libya, if I’m going to keep my notoriety anyway.
“young master. blood…”
In the meantime, Nias, who had been standing next to me, cried and wiped the blood from my mouth with the handkerchief she was holding.
I think it’s been about 10 minutes, but my face was pale from how worried I was.
Nias, who believed in me and didn’t touch me during that time, was proud.
I was about to stroke Nias’ hair without knowing it, but hesitated.
There are too many other people’s eyes here.
“done. Useless.”
I slammed Nias’s hand away.
Then he got up from his seat and pointed to Libya, who was still unconscious.
“Now put that away.”
First of all, I had to save Libya, but I had to run away quickly when I didn’t see me yet.
Then, since we haven’t had a proper face-to-face conversation yet, the plan is safe.
“Take it away. After all, at least until it’s safe…”
The knight refuted the order, questioning it.
I don’t know people’s speed.
“Say it one more time. put it away.”
And as I was about to turn around, a clear voice rang out.
“Clean up?”
A really cold wind blew.
When I slowly turned my head, I saw a neat and beautiful girl with wide azure eyes filled with me.
I thought I’d come to my senses already…
Livia slowly lifted her upper body.
Realizing that her body was dirty, Livia grasped the surrounding landscape and her own body before opening her mouth.
“Someone else’s magic…? It melted so naturally.”
Livia tilted her head with an incomprehensible expression.
The girl slowly raised her eyes and stared at me.
“Could it be that you saved me by purifying the magic of the beast? It must have been a difficult task where you risked your life.”
Rivaa said with her eyes twinkling.
I tried to lie, but it seemed that he had already confirmed that I had saved him.
Since the traces of magical power had not yet been erased, it would not have been difficult to identify the owner.
“No, I didn’t mean to…”
“To be humble!”
Libya got up from her seat and walked towards me.
The appearance of Libya approaching while bleeding all over the body was reminiscent of Libya’s appearance of tying up the main character and going to kill other heroines.
However, what came out of Livia’s mouth was a bright voice.
“I don’t know who you are, but thank you so much! The savior of my life! Oh my God, I thought I was really going to die earlier!”
Contrary to her neat impression, Libya’s outward personality was a lively and reckless personality.
She grabbed my hand and shook it loudly.
Next to Nias seemed flustered, ah! I heard a shout, but the cry was quickly drowned out by Libya’s voice.
“what’s your name?”
“No, wait…”
I took a step back because of Libya, who had become closer without any sense of distance.
However, Libya casually followed me back that distance and said,
“Oh right. Starting with my name, I am Libya!”
‘no way…!’
I felt a sense of deja vu.
Didn’t the first line in the original Libya part come after self-introduction?
The moment that line comes out, my plan collapses.
“Because I know. I don’t want to give you my name…”
I hurriedly shook off Libya’s hand and tried to run away.
It was because I thought running away was the only way to survive.
However, Libya held onto my hand even tighter and stretched it.
“what? Why, why are you running away?! oh look at the blood It’s because of the blood. You tell me, you did!”
As Libya used her magic, a gentle breeze blew.
Her blood-soaked azure hair blew in the wind.
“Ech. Etch.”
Invariably, Nias could be heard coughing.
In the meantime, the blood soaking Libya’s body disappeared and Libya changed into a clean appearance.
The cleansed girl really looked much more beautiful.
Exclamation burst out from the surroundings when the blood on the body was removed and the appearance that stood out like a forget-me-not was revealed.
Either way, I was uneasy.
“Oh, the crest of the carriage. Daneheart?! Then, by any chance, on the way to Elincia Academy… Leonhard Deinhart? and! I…”
At that moment, the lines in the novel came to mind.
The words that the main character of the original story hears when he first meets Livia.
‘I’m a fan!’
“I am a fan! I heard that you already have amazing magic skills at the same age as me! Then, benefactor is my lifesaver and magic senior! I’m on my way to the academy after being chosen by a lower constellation!”
Libya held my hand even tighter and smiled sweetly.
Tring!
[Libya’s affinity increases significantly. (Reason: I was originally a fan, but it saved my life)]
A blush appeared on Riva’s face.
wait, please! Stop running alone!
But contrary to my screams, Libya was like a bulldozer with no intention of stopping.
“thanks. my lifesaver. I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”
This is a line spoken when the main character of the original story first saved Libya.
Tring!
[Libya’s affinity increases significantly. (Reason: I like the face too)]
It would be nice to stop here.
But…
“Since you saved my life, can I ask for one more favor?”
“No, no.”
I shook my head quickly.
However, Libya continued with an eye smile as if saying “don’t do that.”
“Can you be my first friend?”
This is the line when Libya has a great crush on the main character.
Livia, who has lived her life under ruthless training and orders in the assassination guild, defies her father’s orders and runs away to the academy for the first time.
Through the numerous socialization training she has received so far, Libya has been able to naturally melt into the academy.
Bright smiles, friendly attitudes, and sociable conversations. It wasn’t hard for Libya to invent such things.
But Libya could never feel that she was sharing her heart with anyone.
Because it all felt like it was made up.
A line spoken by Libya, who had been keeping her heart shut behind such a bright expression, when she opened her heart to the protagonist who saved her life.
That now flowed out of Libya’s mouth.
It was a line that came out a long time after the novel progressed.
Even before going to the academy!
“no. I am careful not to make friends.”
What’s the point of not making friends?
It was absurd even when I thought about it, but I made an excuse like this.
Libya, however, seemed to take it quite differently.
“Until loneliness… It’s wonderful. Yes. After all, friends are impossible from the beginning. I will not be disappointed.”
The first crisis is over.
I still don’t know if I can call you senior.
However, the next moment, the decisive line that Libya had decided to call the main character came mercilessly.
“Instead, since you’re a senior in magic, can I call you senior?”
I closed my eyes.
he has no intention of stopping
“No, they must be in the same grade, but the senior…”
“senior!”
I didn’t even answer, Libya just said.
Tring!
[Libya has a crush on you. (Reason: A lonely man)]
I belatedly admitted.
It just shouldn’t have been tied up from the beginning, and the moment it was tied up, it was already too late.
“I think that girl was a wizard? His Highness Confucius saved it.”
“As expected, it’s like this, you’re a warrior’s lumber.”
“Even if your words are bad, your actions are good. The qualities of a hero cannot be hidden.”
“When you vomited blood from your mouth earlier, just in case… You risked your life for someone you saw for the first time!”
Applause broke out around me when I realized what I had done a bit late.
I felt their affinity for me soar in an instant.

Just when I told them to throw it away, their eyes, which were in shock, turned warm.
The reason why I can’t laugh here is me in a serious situation.
And Nias was all flustered as he saw me holding hands with Livia.
“I wish you well at the academy! senior!”
Rivia held my hand tightly and looked up at me with azure eyes filled with resentment.
Then, he gently tilted his head and smiled brightly.
lovely to anyone.
cruel as i see it
My most perfect ‘let’s not get involved’ plan met complete ruin at this moment.
