Episode 163
46. Fellow development is always difficult (4)
The day I watched the fireworks that colored the sky alone.
Camilla Lilly has had a profound change of heart.
Now, less than a year has passed since I became an official student at Paradise School, that is, a warrior candidate.
So this is enough, he was misjudging.
Even while Sanwoo was getting stronger, he was so ashamed that he, who had become the head of a firefighting style, was complacent with reality, it was hard to bear.

More than anyone who stood by Sanwoo.It had to be strong enough that the Sanwoo could depend on it.
But how?
Camilla was well aware of her limitations.
I don’t want to do an inefficient job of grabbing something I don’t have talent for.
Effort is a way to achieve the best synergy when properly combined with talent.
There would be no choice but to double major in Arin or Ortana in the middle.
Then there was no other way than to make full use of her abilities as an Arthur School, a warrior and a fighter.
What suddenly came to her mind was the Spirit Contract.
Camilla was confident in her skills.
Even before Hisperif’s incident, she was a powerful person who proudly held the honor of being in the top ten of the martial arts genre.
It was the same with the entrance exam.
The motives, which were deduced and deduced from the continent, were stripped away by text.
And ranked in the advanced class from the first semester.
It is said that Sanwoo helped her, but she was able to be promoted to the limited express class because she had the skills to match it.
Yes, to be honest.
Camila was at the time when George and Sanu clashed over an entrance exam.
In the case of Sanwoo, who uses the mysterious swordsmanship of the East, it was a little unknown… … .
At least against George, he thought he would be able to win with certainty.
But what about now?
Camila was no longer certain of a win against George.
Even now, they are using their own original artefacts!
That’s how fast George grew.
Although he fell into the intermediate class with Sanwoo, just like Camilla, he became a prominent figure in the upper class in half a year.
Sanwoo, who was not the culprit from the beginning, but was vaguely aware of that.
In George’s case, there was something that was not lightly convincing.
Camilla decided that the secret method was the ‘spirit contract’.
However, the spirits were not easily found just because they wanted to find them.
While keeping it a secret from Sanwoo and his friends, he wandered around the Spirit Forest for several days, but to no avail.
Finally, Camilla.
“me… … ! Do you want to make a contract with the spirit… … !!”
After dyeing his face red, he had no choice but to ask Sanwoo.
* * *
“You want to make a contract with the spirit? why?”
“I don’t think Sanwoo knows either. The fact that we cannot prepare for the future you know in the future… … .”
Camila’s words pierce the corner.
I answered her, struggling to suppress the simmering sigh.
“Yes, yes.”
“So you gave George the item. Having prepared my items is probably part of that.”
This was also correct.
The natural power-up is too slow, so I was thinking of artificially accelerating it using a cheat called ‘Tempal’.
Right away, I was showing a tendency to focus on items including Aradwa as well as Lioner.
“But I want something more essential. Items are not my strength to the last.”
Camilla’s eyes were determined.
she is a flower A flower that will never be broken even if it stumbles in a typhoon.
If I add a few words to what has already been decided, Camilla will not withdraw her opinion.
“But you, Camilla… … Is your energy okay?”
The only thing that bothered me was the words Soyoung and Taehoon uttered one day.
The reason why the martial artists, including the two of them, did not sign the Spirit Contract.
This was because there was a risk that his ‘ki’ could be deformed or, in severe cases, could disappear.
It won’t happen though.
Even if Camilla’s qi disappears, that would be a huge loss.
“it’s okay.”
But Camilla just smiled.
“What is okay? What would you do if that really happened?”
“Because it can’t be.”
As I made a face of no understanding, Camilla slowly began to explain.
“Sanwoo-ya, Ki is a more vague concept than I thought. There are different ways of accepting or interpreting depending on the clan.”
“okay?”
“We think of ki as ‘one’s own will’ in our artisan style. It’s kind of like a wish, a kind of energy.”
your own will.
Although it was very abstract, it was not a concept that did not fit the ‘ki’.
“It’s difficult… … .”
“If you make a contract with a spirit, shouldn’t you be in agreement with the spirit? From that point on, my actions are not 100% based on my own will. So you could say that my qi is weakening.”
That being said, it made sense again.
I thought it was some kind of mana-like power.
If that’s what Ki feels like, it doesn’t even make sense for me to use the firefighting style.
I closed my eyes for a moment and pondered.
“Lionor, come with me.”
I just snapped my fingers.
An opaque honey badger that floated in front of my eyes as soon as I called out.
What was so dissatisfied, Lioner, whose face was wrinkled, opened his mouth.
【Even though I was in the midst of a mock battle.】
“Are you doing that too?”
【There is one geek who is particularly obsessed with it.】
The Lioner also prefers to fight, so it was not surprising that the spirits usually quarrel with each other.
【So, what is the purpose?】
“Camilla wants to sign a spirit contract.”
【What?!】
His face turned in a flash, and he looked at Camilla in disbelief.
【Really? Suddenly there was a change of heart… … .]
“Ahaha… … .”
Camila smiles mischievously. I explained the situation to Lioner on behalf of her, who was a little confused.
“I want to be stronger than I am now.”
No further explanation is needed.
After all, that was the essence.
【Um, that’s right. If you borrow the power of the spirit, you will be much stronger than you are now.]

Moreover, if the contractor is an overwhelmingly talented person, the effect is doubled.Lioner adds.
【But, as you know, not everyone who wants to sign a contract with a Spirit makes a contract.]
The contract terms of the spirits, as Lioner said, were mainly three.
be compatible with each other.
It must have excellent sensitivity to spirits.
Lastly, it must be a vessel that can withstand the power of the spirit.
【If one is not satisfied, the contract is impossible. The higher the character, the more difficult the conditions.]
“Am I satisfied with that?”
When I interrupted, he shook his head.
【Yeah, but it is also because of my mercy.”
‘X-foot, I’ll make you look pretty.’
I’m sorry to say that, not once or twice, so I decided to move on coolly.
“Then what should I do… … ?”
【You also don’t want to make a contract with an insignificant spirit. And I also want Camila to make a contract with at least a third-star spirit.]
Lioner is a spirit of the 4 Stars, no matter how you look at it.
Because it is a spirit possessing a majesty enough to be called a ‘Great Spirit’.
When it comes to contracts, it was clear that he was a more definite expert than I was.
【Ummm… … .]
Soon, Lioner meticulously searches for Camilla.
【Every time you look at it, your momentum and spirit are amazing. The bowl is also large enough to hold it. But I don’t know which spirit will respond.]
Even in my opinion, Camilla’s condition wasn’t worse than George’s.
Except for the specificity of being able to modify the missing machine in the player, would it be even better than me?
【Let’s go to the Spirit Forest first.】
The conclusion reached after much deliberation is always simple.
One hundred and fifty words are unheard of.
Let’s go and think about it.
* * *
“Uh-huh- the air here is really good. Sometimes it feels better than the breath of a world tree.”
I walked through the forest feeling the refreshing phytoncide, abundant oxygen, and mana as dense as oxygen.
The Spirit Forest has been around for a long time.
In the early days of signing with Lioner, I think he came often.
It was because he preferred other alchemy materials to materials that could be gathered in the Spirit Forest after he had grown to a certain extent.
As expected, the performance is superb, but the fuel economy is like a sports car.
【Are you thinking cheeky again?】
“This is not rude. Rather, I think you are great. How cool is a sports car?”
【There is no problem with that.】
Lioner who says ‘Ah’ is different and ‘Uh’ is different, even if you let him go a little bit, he will stop doubting.
It wasn’t that difficult to handle it differently from a sports car.
“So, Lion… … I came to the Spirit Forest, what do you plan to do now?”
【It would be better to summon the spirit first. If it were you, there must be a few guys already keeping an eye on it.]
Just as Lioner said, I felt the feeble spirits of first-star level gathering around Camilla.
It’s me, the 4th Star Lioner is outstretched, so I won’t approach it.
It must have been that he showed a clear interest in Camilla, who did not have a contracted spirit yet.
“Can you tell me how to summon it?”
【First, take a deep breath and close your eyes. And feel the energy of the spirits scattered around… … .]
Lioner approaches Camilla and guides the contract slowly.
It was the moment he was about to continue talking.
【Hey you bastard-!! Why are you so late because you said you’re coming soon!!]
Deed de de de-
With the vibration of the floor, a huge snake appears through the ground.
The sharply erected vinyl was threatening in itself, but not as much as the fangs stuck in its wide open mouth.
“Camilla-! Lioner-!!”
As soon as I saw it, I was overwhelmed and instinctively grabbed Aradwa.
Camilla, who had been immersed in meditation for a while, was also surprised and prepared for battle.
However, the only person in the group that did not panic was Lioner.
【Like this crazy woman… … .]
that too.
【Sorry for the sudden surprise. This is the spirit of the 4 Stars, Jiam, named ‘Yorgan’.]
Because that snake was actually a spirit.
[Aha, sorry sorry~! You’re that stupid bear’s contractor. I’ve heard a lot of stories.]
Jorgan wriggling with a strange expression on his face. It had a dreamy feeling as if it was dancing.
As Camila and I stare blankly, the snake notices the alien gaze and smiles sheepishly.
【Ah, ah cha cha. It might be a little hard to see in this way.]
Saying so, the giant snake shrunk its body.
As if the lion was originally a bear, but took the form of a honey badger.
Jorgan became a small white sand with a lustrous sheen on her skin.
【Well, how about it?】
“Joe, that’s good… … .”
【Fufu, isn’t it pretty? Because that’s how I see it.]
Among the many spirits he had met, he was the most energetic spirit.
【By the way, you bastard! You ran away in the middle of the match, and were you kidding me here?]
Jorgan makes a shrill and menacing sound.
From what I’ve heard, it seems that the spirit that had fought with Lioner a while ago was the snake in question.
[I’m not kidding.]
【Then what?】
【The girl you see over there says she wants to make a contract with the spirits. I’m here to help.]
【Girl?】
White’s black eyes stared at Camilla.
A gaze that makes people nervous even though it is simply looking at them.
She unconsciously shrugged at the glance that looked at her prey as if she was indulging in her prey.
【Uhhh~~, don’t you have a spirit that you signed a contract with?”
“Yes, yes… … .”
【Why do you want to sign a contract with Spirit?】
Although it was a straight-forward question, Camilla did not hide it.
“You will become stronger on your own. Even if it is the power of a spirit.”
As soon as he heard that answer, Jorgan burst out laughing.
【Are you a martial artist?】
“yes!? that, how… … .”
【If you look at your posture, you can pretend. Even with a spear, you raise your fists when you feel threatened, right? And the willpower that is clearly felt, is a skill that is difficult to train without being a martial artist.]
Jorgan’s tongue fluttered with the sound of hissing, squeaky snakes.
【great. He’s my favorite kid. By the way, I also didn’t have a contractor.]
“yes?”
“uh?”
【Yorgan, are you sure?】
To the completely unexpected answer, they all showed the same reaction.
【Let’s make a contract with me, Camilla.】
