118 – Party Request

A few days have passed since Clarisse’s new semester curriculum started.

The academy was spurring the completion of the theoretical lectures ahead of the upcoming screening test for aspiring warriors, that is, ‘adventure practice’.

Since the cadets had to listen to the theory for the lectures and practices for each role group individually, the daily schedule could be said to be arduous.

But I… ?

Rather, it is easier than the first semester.

Starting from the second semester, I was able to get rid of all the magic department subjects originally set by Lev Deneck and reorganize them around the shooting department practice subjects.

Anyway, the lecture that takes place at this time is an integrated education for 1st and 2nd grade… This is an orientation that explains the adventure practice.

“Now… It’s important from here. Originally, the recruitment for the 2nd grade has been expanded to the 1st grade… ? In the practice, 5 or 6 people, 6 people… It consists of 1 party…. So what should you do when forming a team? Can I just fill in the number of heads? No… ! When you distributed roles at the beginning of the semester, and distributed the number of people according to the theory you learned in the first semester… “

The slow professor’s tone.

Unlike Maclone, he seems to have not retired yet, even though he has thick gray hair, probably because he is a theory professor.

At that time, Selena, who dared to sit next to me… She shoved her notes right away.

-I’m looking forward to it.

‘… ‘

When I slightly turn my head and look at him, he puts on an alluring smile as if telling me to do well.

Platinum hair, white jade skin, emerald eyes.

A very, very noble elf’s expensive laugh.

I picked up a pen and scribbled.

– What?

-What else will you show me in practice?

-…

‘Show me… ‘

First of all, the adventure practice takes place on an island.

It’s not where the academy is, but somewhere far away from here.

Mystic Island.

It is not known when this island, which is said to be a trace of great magic, was created, but it is said that it is possible to reproduce an environment similar to the area on the Asmodian side due to the high concentration of atmospheric mana.

The test begins at the far end of the island, in a temporary place called Twilight.

This place corresponds to the ‘starting town’ in the case of a fantasy game.

From here, through forests and rivers, to the final Valley of Death…

The main goal of the practice is to experience the schedule of going to defeat the demon king.

“As each party progresses… You will have to battle with various monsters… ? This will be followed by cadets from the Student Council who will evaluate you in detail… So don’t miss the string of concentration… “

Roughly this way, he said that he would weed out the aspiring warriors.

According to the contents of the fanfic, the traces of the magic tower are hidden underground in the last place, the Valley of Death, and the main content of Chapter 4 is that Kaeran discovers and awakens this magic stone.

‘Here, Violet sacrificed herself instead.’

Violet sets out to take care of Kaeran, who did things on her own, but her guy betrays her, saying that he is rather an obstacle.

And, copying all of Violet’s unique characteristics and absorbing and growing.

Edwin belatedly started to question Kaeran’s actions.

But it was only a MacGuffin.

In the end, until the part I saw, there was no Edwin standard cider.

My faith in my original character, the happy circuit of ‘I don’t know yet’, was shattered like that.

So what I need to do here is simply narrowed down.

First, the survival of Violet, the leader who will lead Edwin, Yeriel, and Arya.

Changing love affairs.

And the second…

‘Completely… exclusion.’

To completely deviate from ‘Kaeran Heath’ in the narrative.

I’m sure. I can definitely finish this time.

In the first semester, Kaeran was in a situation where her morale traits that transcended her human nature were all over the place.

The difference in ability between me and him was so great that it was not easy to assassinate him.

Since the background was an academy and he couldn’t be dismissed as evil, it was a situation where he had to pay attention in many ways.

However, it is different now.

Kaeran accepted the devil’s power in a good way, and if she draws out even the devil’s power…

In this world, it is defined as ‘black’.

‘Therefore, surely… kill.’

Well, even if I don’t step out, Edwin won’t leave him alone.

And there is one advantage gained by using Kaeran as an excuse.

His vessel is a skill that is coveted by demons like Yellowdy Latasia, and even by the fallen Crowfey’s Regulus.

I can assure you, if you use Kaeran as bait, she will be able to attract the other Archdemon as well as the chance he will get.

‘If you destroy even that at once… ?’

As I ate so, Selena tapped her own notes with her fingers.

-This time it was a pity.

As I made eye contact with her instead of answering her, Selena spoke in her voice this time.

“I wanted to party with you.”

It’s cold and stiff, but it’s a way of speaking that makes you feel a little bit of regret. It was a first for me.

Well, since Selena has already been selected by Violet, she will probably serve as an evaluation team.

“Then… Feel free to form a party and submit it by 3 days.”

That’s how the orientation ended.

* * *

‘… After all, I couldn’t ask.’

During lectures and after lectures.

The little elf, Selena’s eyes were on the man next to her.

A boy with gray hair who never gets tired of looking at it.

Subtly firm sidelines and sharp noses always make it hard to know what he is thinking.

-……

There is a screening test, so until then, she will help her with her marksmanship training if there is anything she can do.

The words

Could not come out of Selena’s throat.

‘… Lev Denek… ‘

It was also from Neldaran’s Leconta Festival that she became conscious of Lev.

– I like it. Lev Deneck.

Although he knew that Arya and Yeriel liked him.

When I actually heard that line, I had an unexpected emotional agitation.

That was ‘jealousy’ and ‘impatience’ that only humans do.

Envy and envy for the existence of a human girl who unfiltered the emotions she had been denying.

And the heart-wrenching impatience for noticing this truth so late…

‘Whoa… ‘

First of all, let’s put personal feelings aside and think about it.

Currently, Lev Deneck is at the center of this relationship.

Edwin Gwynns, Arya Bluebell, Yeriel Artina, Lily Forget, and even Selena Windforth herself…

All of them have memories of being helped by him.

So, it was quite predictable that such a development on the verge of mayhem would appear with ‘Lev Deneck’.

‘Since when did… ‘

The problem is… Ironically, Selena herself was also sucked into this whirlpool.

Elves kill humans… Can i like it?

The answer is simple.

‘My mother said that too… ‘

However, the price of choosing a human male was severe.

So never… I swore I wouldn’t even pay attention to humans…

‘Sorry, I guess I need you… Rev Denek.’

Selena was so eager for him to achieve her own goals.

Quite different from other humans… Because of that

‘Just training…. Because it doesn’t make any sense… ‘

Selena secretly sighed and patted him lightly on the shoulder as if determined.

* * *

.

.

.

-Training, I’ll help you.

Selena first reached out to her hand as if she was calm.

I have no reason to refuse.

She has to train before her great demon battle, and since Darian, the black fairy, hasn’t revealed herself yet, I have to keep an eye on her.

“… “

Leaving behind Selena, who seemed somehow cheerful, the conversation of her other cadets began to ring in her ears.

-I… How do I get a party again?!

-Well, it’s still better than them.

– Who?

-The two of them got an A this time.

-Ah… But…

-Good luck. In the end, I crawled far enough to say that I would become a warrior.

“Haha… “

Edwin’s shy smile as he tried to ignore the front talk.

Maybe there are second-year students?

Edwin and I were still in a situation where we were undervalued just like the contents of the fanfiction.

-Are you going to do it?

– You decided to go.

-Ah, I understand.

The guys whispered so that everyone could hear them, and then passed me and Edwin and stopped by Selena’s side.

“Hey… Class S. Selena Windforce, right?”

“… “

To the point where I felt even more awkward, Selena didn’t even look at me.

“We are in the second year, if you haven’t found a party… “

“I hate it.”

“Ah.”

“… “

“Yes, yes. What. Sorry.”

The male cadet scratched the back of his head and then disappeared.

‘Tsk tsk.’

Selena doesn’t open up to humans easily.

The moment I clicked my tongue while watching this, this time it started to make a fuss on the right side.

-What is it, Yeriel Artina… Right? Are you planning to party?

-Isn’t it? Even aspiring warriors are famous for being uninterested.

-Then I’m Aria Bluebell, even if it’s him…. I have a pretty face, but I’m going to get advanced healing just once…

-Please wake up…

And the rumble slowly came out and headed towards Edwin.

Two people came towards us.

“Reb, Edwin! Haven’t decided yet… ? Selena was there… Yes… !”

“Hello.”

“… How are you?”

I’m sure you’re smiling,

How come sparks fly between the three of them… Same.

“Then are we doing it together this time too?! Lev you too?!”

As Edwin warmly welcomed this, he suddenly became conscious of the gaze around him.

– What… That situation… ?

-… I guess Yeriel was the Elder.

– Wow… Chew. Good luck, really.

‘… Are you middle school students? ‘

In a delusional situation,

I shook off the fresh youth that plays automatically in my head and started thinking about the number of people in the party.

Edwin avant-garde.

I’m a posterior.

Lieutenant Arya and Yeriel.

For 5 people, you need one front or rear guard.

‘Shall I ask Lily?’

* * *

Baraki Red Building, Class S exclusive lounge.

Tables were filled with countless desserts that looked sweet on the outside.

Lily Forget, who is already small, has been buried in the acid of this dessert for a long time.

And it was the red-haired man, Kaeran Heath, who prepared it.

He handed her a tissue, looking at the cream on Lily’s lips.

“How was the one I gave you?”

“Huh?”

“The dragon orb I gave you. It was very difficult to find.”

“Huh? What is that… ?”

‘Haa.’

Is it like treating a child? Or is it the feeling of dealing with Yellowdy Latasia?

Kaeran suppressed her annoyance and went on with her softly.

“… Back in the Royal Class Circle, don’t you remember? I sent it all the way to your lab.”

“Ah! Lily, I don’t need that… ?”

“… “

Lily easily passes the dessert with her small mouth.

Kaeran’s eyes twitched fiercely at her light reply.

“Lily. The dragon contract… Did you say it takes a long time? If you don’t make a circuit beforehand, it’s for you… You won’t be able to deal with it.”

“It’s okay~. Lily is gone now. She threw it away Omnyol.”

“… What?”

“… No… “

As Kaeran’s laughter faded away, Lily felt somewhat intimidated.

However, there is a fact that Lev has enlightened me to.

“Lily is now a pet… don’t lose You got stronger!”

“… “

Treating summoned beasts as objects… That you can’t be strong.

“Haa… “

Kaeran, on the other hand, felt her head hurt.

In order to obtain Kroon’s hidden heritage, an ancient dragon is needed.

From now on, even if you do the basic work, it will be risky, but an unexpected variable has arisen.

‘Damn it, what happened… ‘

She wondered what had happened while she was gone.

Apparently, the first Lily he met was just a kid who only dealt with and longed for strong summons.

So I thought it was easy to handle and good to use.

‘Edwin, is it you again?’

No, the green-haired bastard couldn’t have noticed something and approached Lily.

Because he’s a guy who has a lot of compassion and lives without thinking about anything.

Kaeran brushed her tousled bangs and pulled out one of her papers to Lily.

“First of all, I understand. Can you look at this first?”

“Yes… “

What he pushed in was an application for an adventure practice party.

We don’t know what will happen to Malissa and Aveline’s suspension, and we don’t have enough staff.

First of all, I had to brainwash her into her Lily and turn her back.

Kaeran said patronizingly.

“I will take you this time. You didn’t include it during the Danteon investigation practice.”

Certainly, Malissa and Abel Lynn were included, but she didn’t even cry and scream that she wouldn’t take her.

“… Ugh.”

“?”

Despite Kaeran’s persuasive gaze, Lily’s expression did not change.

“Lily, this is fine too.”

“…?”

“Gotta find someone to play with… I’ll yield~ omnyomnyom… “

“Now, play with me… ?”

In an instant, Kaeran’s teeth began to grind.

“Ha.”

Then, a laugh broke out.

How much do those orbs and these desserts cost?

“Lily, stop eating. I ate well.”

Lily stopped what she was eating, and she just watched it with a questioning look.

He opened his mouth heavily.

“Lily. Before I get angry, pick up the pen right now.”

“… I hate… Kaeran is very strange today… “

Lily’s reluctant expression,

-Sssss…

Black magic began to vibrate in Kaeran’s body, and her impulsive emotions began to overflow.

-!

And the moment he reaches out,

“… Are you going to stop there?”

What appeared between the two of them,

Relentless demeanor. A look of contempt.

It was a woman with purple hair, Violet, the head of the gunfighting department.
