crossfire (2)
Once we’ve decided on a direction, we first ask Libya one question to clear up one question.
And I got a surprising answer.
“…So, your blessing can tell me where I am?”
I couldn’t believe it and asked again.
“yes. senior. If the senior is in trouble… I guess I can tell. Whoops. So that I can always come running to you when you are having a hard time and are sick. Like that!”
Libya said, clinging to me.
As if she was happy holding me, the smile in Livia’s eyes didn’t seem to disappear.
“okay… . nice.”
I can’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Now you’re tracking your location, right?
“Senior, I like you… .”
Livia murmured in a clear voice, as if she had thought of the meaning of my staring gaze.
Livia, who pressed her soft body against me, pushed her body further as if that wasn’t enough.
Now that I look at it, it looks like an animal hiding its own smell.
I gently put my hand on Libya’s tender cheek and gently stroked it with my thumb.
Livia trembled slightly at my touch and smiled with her mouth slightly open.
Senior in your mouth… . A sad murmur was heard.
“Stay still for a moment.”
I pointed a magnifying glass at Libya to check the status.
Livia looked at the magnifying glass with blurry eyes, blinking slowly.
After the status window popped up, I was slightly surprised.
[Magic Obsession], which appeared as the main blessing used by Libya in the original work.
In the course of the novel, obsession with magic is simply described as a blessing that raises one’s magical proficiency.
However, there were some additional settings attached to the back setting.
Magical obsession was a blessing that greatly increased magical talent when being with the object of obsession.
But now, to this blessing, the effect of Libya intuitively realizing my condition and location in the event of an emergency was added.
‘I can never run away.’
Blessed to feel that kind of will.
As this blessing grows, the effect will increase, but if it is related to obsession… .

Just imagining it is scary.
“senior. What are you thinking?”
Libya peered through her magnifying glass with her watery blue eyes that had turned huge.
Her azure eyes, reminiscent of a clear lake, were shining through a magnifying glass as if they were receiving sunlight.
“You think.”
I put away my magnifying glass and answered indifferently.
Libya is right.
“really? I always think of seniors too! Always!”
Livia happily shook her upper body.
Libya. I’m not always like that.
I swallowed those words.
“greatness.”
Unable to bear it, YuRia coughed slightly, revealing her presence.
It was to the point of pity that I couldn’t even see this side properly and averted my eyes.
“Senior, I’m a little embarrassed.”
Livia smiled shyly at the topic she had said.
Seeing such a nasty appearance, I thought for a moment that I wanted to make Libya cry.

Just before falling into such a dark thought, I barely escaped.
I guess I should focus on work.
“…Libya. We have to go to our dorm. Go to the break room for now.”
Livia nodded at my words.
We quickly moved to the dormitory with Libya’s shadow movement.
The break room was empty.
It was thanks to the professors pushing the students into the room to protect them.
And, as if it were only natural, my sense of danger sensed the tingling intent to kill felt inside the dormitory.
‘It’s also dangerous.’
Unlike earlier, the murderous intent directed at me also meant that not only Yuria but also Livia and I had noticed the existence.
This was the reason I didn’t go straight to my room.
Maybe he set a trap waiting for me or YuRia.
I can’t move hastily at the point where my physical condition is still not good.
I led Yuria and Libya to a corner of the break room and hid for the time being.
“senior… . Are you still in a lot of pain?”
Livia asked with a worried face.
“little… … . Libya. Go and bring either Ellin or Ellin.”
At my words, Libya’s complexion darkened.
As if she didn’t want to fall away from me, her hand that supported me gained a little more strength.
Livia opened her mouth with a slight excuse.
“Senior, I use that blessing a lot, so I can only use it one more time. I’ll have to wait a bit after writing one more now… .”
The D-class blessing, [Shadow Movement], was such a cumbersome blessing that it had to be used all the way to start recovering the number of times it was used.
At least if you go up to C-class, things will be much better than now.
However, it was still too early for the blessing to reach the growth stage.
If you help me with the upcoming blessing growth, it might be better than C grade. There was no time for that now.
“So, senpai, I’ll write it on the shadow near here, stay next to senpai, and come back when I recover!”
“It’s inefficient. You know when something dangerous will happen.”
“To me, seniors are the most important!”
“Libya.”
I called her name once more in a commanding tone, and Livia reluctantly staggered away from me.
“soon… I will come and go.”
“Please.”
Livia smiled slightly at my words.
Then it changed into an impatient expression and disappeared into the shadows.
“What are you going to do next… ?”
As Libya disappeared, Yuria looked at me with an awkward expression.
It looked like he wanted to ask something.
“I told you. I will create a confrontation between the impersonator and the real Constellation.”
Doing so will make the constellation system noisy more quickly.
There’s no way the proud Constellations would just leave an impersonator actively impersonating a Constellation.
If I had known he would be this aggressive, I wouldn’t have turned off Gaunis’s broadcast.
‘Come to think of it, Gaunis guy, when are you going to turn on the broadcast?’
I frowned at the thought of Gaunis, who disappeared earlier and never returned.
Anyway, the problem is Ludas Keanel, who appeared as Yuria’s rival in the original student council president election.
The impersonator was clearly trying to make Ludas Keanel the student council president.
But why do we have to make Ludas Keanel the student council president?
Thinking about it, I came to a conclusion.
‘Nice but shrewd guy’
Ludas Keanel could be summed up in one word
The boy who appears as YuRia’s rival in the original novel was never a villain.
Although shrewd, he is affectionate and kind.
So, Ludas Keanel had many weaknesses.
It makes sense if the impersonator is taking advantage of Ludas Keanel’s weakness and manipulating him.
Rudas was an easy opponent to use if he had that weakness.
In fact, in the original work, there was someone who plotted against Ludas in this way.
It was YuRia.
In order to become the student council president again, Yuria in the original work constantly pushes against Ludas with an evil scheme.
He spread malicious rumors about him to the academy to damage his reputation and, of course, threatened Ludas’ life.
Not only that, but he didn’t hesitate to use Rudas’s family and friends to threaten him.
‘Come to think of it, it’s strange.’
While thinking about the path of Yuria and Ludas in the original work where Ludas was located, I suddenly looked back at YuRia.
Perhaps because of the massacre earlier, YuRia’s eyelashes, which were still slightly moist, were trembling.
‘Somehow, it seems to have become a bit weaker than the original.’
At first, I thought it was an illusion, but it is clear that Yuria is quite different from the original.
The rumors circulating in the academy were so identical to the original, that Yuria thought it hadn’t changed from the original. It might have played a part in not having met him a few times after coming to the academy.
However, looking at it now, Yuria is very different from the original image I know.
Originally, malicious rumors about Ludas should have spread to the academy at this time.
But it wasn’t. I had never heard of such a notoriety about Rudas.
The way he refuses because he thinks he confessed to me, or the way he seems to be rolling his feet inwardly while being jealous is also a bit unfamiliar.
The original Yuria and now holding my hand are definitely different people.
“Your Highness, are you okay?”
“uh? What did you say?”
YuRia, who was dazed, blinked and looked at me.
“You should be fine. Or just me and Livia going to see Rudas. Do you want to rest?”
“Nope. No problem. I was a bit flustered earlier.”
YuRia hesitated.
“It sounds like you’re just saying that with words.”
I put my hand on YuRia’s cheek.
A cheek that still hasn’t returned warmth.
I was kind of anxious. In fact, just a little while ago, I almost really lost her.
If Libya didn’t show up just in time, it would have been helpless.
When I thought of that moment, something in my heart felt very uncomfortable.
Yuria was definitely someone I should protect.
Even if it was to use her, I swore as a knight to protect her.
To me, Yuria was no longer just a villain.
“Isn’t it?”
YuRia’s breathing thinned slightly.
As if realizing something odd, her blue eyes quickly scanned my face.
“Nope. Leonhard. I’m really fine… .”
“It looks difficult to say it’s okay.”
I gently squeezed Yuria’s hand that was holding my sleeve.
When I held that small hand that lightly fit into my hand, I was convinced.
Compared to the current situation, Yuria was too defenseless and weak.
It’s too dangerous to leave her like that.
“How are you going to prove that you’re okay?”
YuRia’s lips parted slightly at my question.
After standing still for a moment, she came to her senses and asked.
