061. Main character drift? (4)

Serena was awakened by a sudden, piercing scream.

She hurried out into the hallway in her nightgown.

“what is this sound!?”

The butler also heard the sound and breathed heavily as if he had rushed out.

“You just screamed, where did that sound come from?”

Serena asked the butler.

“That… looks like Zeke Kleiman’s room.”

“What? Instructor’s room!?”

Serena opened her eyes.

‘Assassin of Justia!’

Have they already moved?

This was too fast though.

An untimely attack at a moment when there was no preparation at all.

‘Are they attacking Joheiden?’

Is Zeke that important?

Or, does it mean that he doesn’t care about Joheiden?

Serena’s heart sank.

“I have to go!”

“No! Let the guards come and take care of it, and Serena-sama has to wait here!”

The butler dissuaded Serena, saying no.

At that time, Shuri, the maid who served on Iriel, came running with a bewildered face.

“Serena-sama! Lady Justia has disappeared!”

“What!? Why is Iriel again!?”

Zeke Kleiman, Iriel Justia.

If anything happened to them, it was Justia’s fault.

A sense of crisis that the situation might be serious dominated Serena’s head.

“I’m going to the instructor’s room first, so head butler, gather the guards and follow me right away.”

“Serena-sama! No!”

“Move.”

The butler covered his face with his body.

“I said Vicky. Butler. I’m Serena Joheiden. At least I’m responsible for what happened in this house. Especially if it’s Justia.”

Iriel’s blue eyes glared at the butler.

The butler inhaled a sigh of relief from her heavy pressure.

Isn’t this like watching the Duke of Joheiden in his childhood?

‘When did you grow up like this… … .’

The butler wanted to follow her, but right now, there was no one who could convey the situation to the guards and entrust them with leadership.

He agonized between Serena’s immediate safety and calling the guards.

“I will follow.”

“No. Even calling the guards is the role of the butler. The butler does the work of the butler.”

Serena flatly refused. The maid next to him caught his eye.

“…But, we can’t let her go like this. Shuri. You should also help Serena-sama. If you’re going to do something dangerous, you’ll have to use your body to stop it.”

“Yeah!”

So Serena and her maid, Shuri, went straight to Zeke’s room.

*

Suddenly-!

‘uh… … ?’

Urgently opening the door to Zeke, Serena couldn’t believe what she saw.

I expected it to be an attack by Justia and ran fast

What the hell is this situation now?

Rather, from another perspective, it was a more shocking sight than Justia’s attack.

Iriel in underwear was hugging Zeke’s neck with hot eyes.

Zeke looked at her as if he was worried about her.

My heart is pounding and I feel like my brain is burning white.

‘why… … ? What the hell, why?’

Could it be that Zeke’s memory has returned?

“… … Instructor?”

Then, Iriel and Zeke’s eyes slowly moved towards Serena.

“Hey, Serena?”

“… … Serena.”

Zeke and Iriel call her name at the same time as if they were kissing each other.

Little by little, an unbelievable reality began to take shape in Serena’s head.

‘now.’

‘therefore.’

‘In my house.’

‘With the instructor.’

‘Iriel.’

‘Secretly in the middle of the night.’

Pudeuk.

Serena felt strength in her hands.

she said in a low, low voice.

“this… … . Now, what, situation, would it be… … ?”

“Oh, you must!”

Iriel responded urgently, but her words did not reach Serena’s ears.

All she was looking at was Zeke Clayman’s mouth.

But Zeke was just staring at her without moving.

“Why, why… are you not saying anything…?”

It sounded like silent silence to Serena that Zeke would recover his memory and go to Iriel.

My head felt hot and I was filled with a sense of betrayal.

The words he said during the day shatter and fall apart.

In fact, if you think about it for a bit, you might have noticed that the current situation is to search for a mana load.

Serena, whose blue eyes had a scene where the two were hugging each other like a painter, was not in a calm state enough to think of such a thing.

betrayal.

What Serena was most sensitive to was the betrayal of someone close to her.

‘I betrayed you. Instructor me I betrayed you. me. I betrayed you. for that cliff. I. lost I lost. I betrayed you. that person me betrayal. betrayal. betrayal. He said it was me, not Iriel, said he would never forget me, and said it was all thanks to me.’

The light went out of Serena’s eyes.

Sussuk-

The wind begins to rise beneath her feet

Silver hair rustles slowly.

Before long, the flecks of talent began to bloom.

Whoa!

Overwhelming mana spurted out of her body like an explosion.

Zeke looked at this and smiled.

‘Hey, it’s really fast.’

The last time he checked Serena’s mana road was a few days ago. It’s not even been a week.

Of course, it was also true that he intervened, inspected her mana rod, and stimulated her to wake up easily.

And it was also right to teach them how to feel mana through meditation.

However, I never thought I would succeed in awakening it so quickly and even ejecting it out of my body.

The reason Zeke didn’t immediately explain the current situation was because he saw her mana slowly start to sway.

‘It looks like he’s very angry because he left out the mana road work he said he wanted to see. However, if you achieve this quickly, it would be nice to provoke anger from time to time… … ? After all, mana is an emotion.’

Of course, Zeke’s lack of notice also played a role.

Rather, Zeke thinks that he should use it as a training method, saying he should use it often.

He was completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.

“Gee, Zeke! What are you staring at blankly! He’s weird!”

Iriel said while holding Zeke’s arms tightly.

“weird?”

“Your eyes aren’t normal!”

‘Well? Isn’t that normal?’

Looking at it with a dark fantasy sensibility, that was a great normal.

Judging by the fact that he didn’t rush right away, he seemed to be restraining himself and having many thoughts in his head.

‘You can be like that when you’re angry because you played without yourself. There was also a crazy saintess who drew a knife and ran at her just because she was mad.’

However, it was not good to just keep gushing mana like now.

It was because he had skipped a step altogether because he had not yet mastered the ‘acceptance phase’ of accepting external mana.

Zeke quietly removed his hand from Iriel’s body and went towards Serena.

“… … Serena.”

“… … .”

“Mana must circulate, not just emit.”

“… … .”

However, Serena just trembled as if she couldn’t hear Zeke’s words anymore.

“It’s a little early, but I can’t help it. Let’s go to the next class right now.”

Zeke held out one hand and beckoned to Serena.

“Come on, jump in. like back then.”

* * *

Quaang!

bang!

Kwaaang!!

‘this… … . What the hell is the situation? Why, Serena-sama and Zeke-sama… … .’

Shuri, who started with Serena, arrived late, unable to catch up with her, who ran the gym every day.

She rolled her eyes at the incomprehensible sight.

Then, suddenly, I saw Iriel sitting down in her underwear.

The butler and the guards will arrive here soon.

The princess of Duke Justia could not be made a spectacle for them.

Tools were flying around in the fight between Zeke and Serena, but

Shuri lowered her body and approached Iriel.

“miss.”

“Uh… Uh. Shu…”

“I’m Shuri.”

“Yes, Shuri.”

“Cover this for now.”

Shuri quickly took out the tablecloth next to her and wrapped it around her body.

Since the table was quite large, the tablecloth was large enough to cover Iriel’s body.

“Thank you.”

“No. By the way, the butler and the guards will be coming soon… they’ll ask how this happened…”

Iriel hardened his face at those words.

‘How can you tell me that I went to Zeke’s room in the middle of the night! They’re even taking off their clothes!’

The slip he took off lay between Zeke and Serena.

She is the princess of the Duke of Justia.

Of course, the other day I had almost made a mistake in the mood.

However, it is said that he almost caused such an indignity in the enemy place called Yoheiden, which is not his hometown.

What will happen if this fact is revealed?

It could not even be rectified, and the rumors could spread out of control in the social world.

‘What can I do? What do we do?’

She rolled her eyes.

“Who are you! How dare someone do Joheiden!”

At that time, the prepared guards and the butler arrived.

They opened their eyes to the sight they saw.

Kwaaang!!

Quaang!

Kwagak!!!

Serena Joheiden punches Zeke Kleiman.

And Zeke Kleiman gently takes her fist.

But regardless of that softness, every time Serena’s fist pierces the air

With a chump chump sound, the furniture breaks apart.

Why are you attacking Zeke Clayman?

Also, how could Yoheiden’s Golden Jade Leaf, the youngest princess, be acting like that?

The head of the guard, not knowing what the hell was going on, asked the butler.

“Chief butler! What the hell is this! I didn’t say it was Justia’s attack!”

“I-I don’t know! Why!! Serena-sama!! Zeke-sama!!!”

I called them with a bewildered face, but the two were busy exchanging fists and feet with each other.

Then, Iriel, who was wearing a cloth around the butler’s eyes, caught my eye.

“Iriel Justia-nim. Can you explain what the hell is going on?”

The butler asked her in an angry voice.

“Soo, it’s training!”

Iriel closed his eyes and said.

“…?”

At those words, the guards, the butler, and even Shuri looked at Iriel with suspicious eyes.

“Woah, originally! At Ramielli Academy, we train like this!”

“J-Now, that’s training, are you saying…?”

As if not believing her words, the butler asked.

“Well, I was just doing that training and my clothes flew off… so I stopped for a while.”

“…I heard a scream.”

“Oh, the clothes flew off!”

It was a rather sensible answer.

However, all the expensive furniture is now being broken down in progress, so is it really okay to call this training?

A dry laugh escaped the butler’s lips.

“Serena, too, must have been upset when she saw me secretly training with Zeke alone, and I left her alone.

Then the butler and the guards nodded their heads while keeping their eyes fixed on the fight between Zeke and Serena.

Certainly, the appearance of the two was not something that could not be seen through training.

In fact, Zeke did no harm to her.

A situation where only Serena is attacking with a life-and-death plan.

At the same time, it seemed that there was a profound teaching in every word or two.

“Serena, when you just reached out and retrieved your fist, it didn’t connect to the next move.”

“Serena, every movement is a flow. You have to watch your opponent’s defense and anticipate their next move.”

“Are you cycling now? You may feel something coming out of your body right now. Instead of projecting it completely out of your body, imagine it as an elastic, flexible material. to come back again.”

In particular, the guards watched their fight without taking their eyes off them.

“Captain of the guard… … . Isn’t Serena stronger than us… … ?”

“… … What the hell are you teaching at Ramieli… … .”

“Serena-sama, hasn’t it been awhile since you went to the academy… … ?”

“My God. Princesses… with such combat weapons…”

Of course, Serena’s punches and kicks were clumsy as she had never learned martial arts professionally.

However, he could have guessed that if he failed to dodge even one of those fists and kicks properly, he would receive injuries that he would never laugh at.

“We too… … . If I learn a little sword from Instructor Zeke Kleiman… … .”

“For the likes of us to teach the nobles swordsmanship! Where is that stupid hair!”

Although the captain of the guard shouted so hard, he could not hide the thrill and anticipation that welled up throughout his body.

Because he was also a warrior who longed for the sword.

I had deep respect for making a weak girl like Serena strong like me.

In addition, Iriel was also overwhelmed by seeing the power beyond common sense.

‘I-I have an advantage in a short-term battle with a kid like that… … ?’

Iriel was stunned by her tremendous inaction,

As soon as I remembered Zeke’s words, I felt a competitive spirit burn in my heart.

Whoa-

Whoa-

Whoa-

Serena’s breathing became more and more difficult.

It was a power I used in a situation where I hadn’t yet learned the Cheonyu Sword that moves my body with mana.

The body that was not suited to using a sword did not improve its efficiency because it was Kwonjutsu.

Zeke opened his mouth.

“Are you tired?”

“… … Yeah.”

“It’s great though. Now it even cycles well.”

“… … .”

seal.

The corners of Serena’s mouth went up slightly at Zeke’s words.

Serena, who had been fighting Zeke for a while, cooled her head.

She wondered why Iriel was there in her underwear,

And I understood why I was hugged by Zeke.

‘Yes, because the Mana Road hurts. No, then tell me to do it! He said no and then came in the middle of the night? what the. And I wish the instructor had told me from the beginning too!’

It wasn’t that there wasn’t such savagery.

Serena, who was taught by Zeke and realized that her power was not a lie, had nothing to do with it anymore.

Really, the inaction Zeke showed with flowers that day

Maybe it’s because the expectation that you can do it yourself has come to reality.

‘Yes, this is my strength. I can be a knight.’

Serena sucks. I clenched my fists.
