Wearing a cat-shaped mask, Eleanor had infiltrated the building while Oz drew people’s attention. It was a fairly modest way for her, who is usually too obsessed with people’s gaze.

The power of severance possessed by the [Understander’s Key]. She temporarily cut off her existence from the world.

That’s why no one could catch her presence.

but… … .

“hahahaha… … . Someone said that the intruder was a Noah student again.”

“Kuu… … . Professor Yen. The mask is of no use. How the hell did you even notice me?”

“You are a cute father. But it’s a flaw that I can’t cover that hair color and eyes.”

As long as she definitely exists now, it’s not like she can get away with magical security devices.

All she can do is erase her presence.

It was impossible to completely erase her existence from the world like the past runaway state.

“hahahaha, that’s troubling. Well, since I’m so pretty, I can’t help but stand out.”

“That confident attitude. always nice to see Student Noah.”

Contrary to what he said, End Lord took out his wand and aimed it at Eleanor. opponent is a student.

I don’t use magic with high killing power. However, even with such a penalty of its own, End Lord was confident of overpowering Eleanor.

“professor. I’m a bit busy, so could you move over?”

“Well, in that case, I will have to escort you out quickly. Students are not permitted to enter here. Student Noah.”

“hahahaha!”

Eleanor straightened her posture.

Already once he was overpowered by End Lord and thrown outside.

Back then, thanks to his warmth, he was spared from being imprisoned, but this time is different.

It seemed that even Eleanor would not give him a second chance.

‘My weakness… … .’

Oz said physical force. But that’s not strictly a weakness. It was said that it was a part where only her skills were revealed.

She has an absurd hidden card called [Understander’s Key].

It’s just that the power fades in front of pure physical force.

yes, that’s her skill.

‘It really makes me cry.’

Eleanor is still weak.

Even if she uses the power of the key, it is not entirely her power.

Of course I knew. She knew at least that she was weak.

However, I thought that I had grown through various things recently. Even so, this situation, where I realized my lack, seemed to be boring.

“My teacher said it was important to give an objective evaluation.”

“Well? If you are a master… … . Ah, you mean Oz students. You heard good things. Student Noah.”

“I can’t stand the professor. The strength I have is lacking, and I don’t even have the skills to fill that lack.”

“You did well.”

End Lord nodded as if satisfied with Eleanor’s lack of confidence.

It is quite difficult to give oneself an objective evaluation.

Acknowledging one’s shortcomings and stepping down like that can be a driving force for growth.

“But you are a professor and I am a student. It is natural.”

“That’s right. Noah student. This failure is unavoidable, so don’t be discouraged and work hard… … .”

“Then the professor can’t kill me. Yes?”

“Yes… … ?”

It was only then that End Lord noticed something strange. The fighting spirit in Eleanor’s eyes did not fade.

Rather, it is roaring. intend to win It’s not a situation where you can win, but you have the idea to win.

Then how on earth… … ?

“Professor, I’m going to break through the road with the determination to die.”

“Oh My God… … .”

He is risking a deal with his own life.

End Lord felt a chill run down his spine at Eleanor’s remarks that even made him feel mad.

Eleanor poured all the mana she could hold into her greatsword and stepped forward confidently.

“I will pass. professor.”

fault!

Eleanor grabbed her greatsword and started running.

But the pace was too slow. It was as fast as an ordinary person who did not know how to handle mana.

Yes, she poured all her mana into the attack. Without thinking about his own comfort, he limited all the mana to strengthen his body to attacks.

“this… … .”

intermediate magic

[stalagmite]

End Lord used his magic toward Eleanor.

Intermediate earth attribute magic. However, the magic he developed was a little different.

It was too hard to be a mere stone spear, and it was wide enough to protrude not only from the floor, but from the entire hallway.

“Haaa!”

Kwajik!

Eleanor slashed the spear of stone that was pouring towards her with her greatsword.

It was possible because he had turned all the mana he was going to spend on defense into an attack.

“Ugh?!”

End Lord had no choice but to reap his magic by seeing Eleanor like that.

An attack has a repulsive force.

Every time her sword cut through a rock spear, the bones all over her body creaked, and in the past, blood burst from her grip.

Excluding her own protection, Eleanor wielding a huge greatsword was like wielding a hammer made of bombs.

End Lord intended to subdue Eleanor. But looking at Eleanor now, it’s hard.

It is practically impossible to subdue that indomitable will that rushes at you while giving up your body comfort.

“Huh… … .”

End Lord eventually withdrew all magic. He couldn’t bear to put the student at risk.

“I lived because the professor was a kind person. thank you.”

“If you can’t say anything… … .”

End Lord hadn’t even thought of catching Eleanor as he passed by.

He silently lowered his head without looking back. It’s a complete defeat.

But it’s a good defeat.

If it was just a joke, I wouldn’t have done that. That she has something so important.

If that’s the case, the path has been pierced by those who have such determination.

Then it was not a shame of defeat, but a glorious duel.

“Professor Ann? You came first. The method magic seems to have worked, but have you encountered any intruders?”

“… … .”

End Road quietly looked at the professors who had arrived late.

The place where his gaze landed was the place where Eleanor’s blood was splattered.

He walked with a carefree step and stepped on the blood to hide it.

“professor?”

“There was a little big cat sneaking in. It seems that the magic sensitivity is too high. You better go back and make amends.”

strong.

Discree is still strong.

I haven’t grown to the point where I can have confidence just because I’ve gotten a little stronger. All the characters were carrying penalties for the SSR ranks they had been fighting so far.

Alexios had severely limited physical abilities.

Arrieta wasn’t very good at fighting in the first place.

Due to the curse, Justitia’s ability to judge was severely impaired.

Yeah, everything was just coming together nicely.

So far I’ve been bemoaning my luck, but if I had really been unlucky, I would have had to deal with their full force.

I was lucky.

I was able to fight on an equal footing only after I unilaterally learned the opponent’s information and made a plan.

“It is absurd.”

The flame can’t reach.

Discre flexibly evades the wide-spreading flames.

When he thinks he’s completely blocked it from avoiding it, his special move, [Schrödinger’s Cat], erases the reality.

Even though he must have planted suspicion through conversation, his mental strength is unreasonably strong.

“I didn’t even think it would be easy in the first place. Yes, I knew you were monsters from before.”

The power of Discre is the insight accumulated through numerous experiences and the mental strength that will not be broken under any circumstances.

This is the power of an SSR-class character without any penalty.

no… … . A monster of possibility that Oz rated as SSR grade.

“It should have been like this from the start.”

Increases the firepower of the flame. It wasn’t an opponent I could win with the thought of overpowering it in the first place.

He must have already realized that kindness is arrogance during the battle with Prudence Loa. I haven’t reached the stage of maturity enough to dare to evaluate someone as taking care of me.

I wanted to be a guide and a sage, but… … .

“It would be rude to you to come forward with such thoughts now. Discre.”

Discree was clearly shaken. He was clearly shaken by my words that were no different from curse words.

But still, I saw it now.

The answer to my words is postponed until later and I am looking at this moment.

The best thing you have to do right now is to push forward without a doubt.

“I have no intention of killing you. but… … .”

transcendent divine magic

[Those who challenge divinity]

“I’ll have to push it to the point of killing it.”

Change the fuel to a flame that burns without hesitation.

Added to the flame is the healing light.

“Burn up.”

The flame of the [Holy Fire].

Even if it hurts enough to die from this, I won’t die.

“Now show me.”

What is the crystal of your pure power without penalty?

The crystallization of the effort I should aim for and look beyond.

What kind of oil will ignite my growth.

Please confirm with me.

“wow… … .”

On the roof of a new building in ＜Tenebris＞. Ula, who was scouting the surroundings, let out an exclamation as if tired of the surging blue flames.

Opponent is sincere. What if that’s not true?

“It must be difficult for you too, Captain.”

It is impossible to stand in front of such power. Whatever it is, you have to do your best.

Yes, with that, Discre Punisher was completely immobilized.

I can’t care about this side until the fight with Oz is over.

“Then that child… … .”

What came into Ula’s eyes was blue-silver hair and jewel-like eyes.

The girl who initiated the incident.

Eleanor von Chrysos.

“I will have to deal with it.”

Ula sighed deeply and immediately straightened her posture.

She looked coldly at Eleanor in the scope’s reflection and put her finger on the trigger.

“I’m sorry.”

doesn’t kill The penalty applied to Discre is eventually applied to the entire group.

No, in this ＜Skientia＞ in the first place, the precondition of killing an opponent at will cannot exist.

The only being who can take care of that is the one who gave up his life in the first place.

Even if it’s a bullet, it’s just a tranquilizer gun.

But that should be enough to stop Eleanor.

“I thought you would be a good friend to Lucia.”

Ula knows.

She was friends with Lucia, but the relationship was infinitely light.

We only became friends because we belong to the same organization. Of course, that was enough for her.

To her, being a friend is that much of an existence. When we meet, we become friends, and when we part, we put them aside as memories.

And it’s that kind of relationship where you greet each other when you run into them on the road.

But Lucia Punisher is different.

Unlike Ulla, she doesn’t know how to build a relationship like that.

“Well, what’s next? We’re young too, so we can always have another chance.”

That’s why, for Ulla, this time couldn’t come very seriously.

Of course I understand. I understand, but I cannot empathize.

It’s just a different way of living.

I just don’t know how desperate it is.

“I’m sorry, Eleanor.”

Ulla narrowed her eyes and began to pull the trigger.

That’s it.

Eleanor will fall asleep and when she opens her eyes, she will be behind the bars of the lead team.

Even if I can’t do it, I will be held for three days, so in that amount of time, Lucia will have already dropped out of ＜Skientia＞.

Having abandoned an identity like that, Lucia will, as always, blend into a new place.

There are plenty of opportunities.

A good friend may appear like this time.

Ulla Stillena is an optimist.

It’s comfortable to believe that things will go well. It’s comfortable to give up thinking like that.

bang!

Eleanor’s body began to lean with a huge gunshot.

“no… … .”

But Ula knew instinctively. Failed.

＜Tenebris＞ As the best sniper, there is no way she could have missed it. There is no sign that the opponent is dodging.

obviously got it right but… … .

“You know what?”

In the middle of the open space, Eleanor’s strong voice resounded.

Eleanor, who staggered for a moment, straightened her posture again.

“I react sensitively to people’s gaze. If the Empire was protecting me, you would know, right?”

Eleanor pulled out the bullet from the tranquilizer gun stabbing her shoulder.

But she didn’t sleep. It must have been a bullet filled with medicine that could put an elephant to sleep.

“I’ve been living in anxiety since the moment I escaped the palace.”

Eleanor has lived in anxiety. I went through a moment of passion where I couldn’t sleep comfortably even for a moment.

In fear of being forgotten, he periodically exposed himself to people’s eyes, but eventually escaped to the Empire.

“What is that… … ?”

“I’m afraid. I can’t sleep because I’m afraid. When I open my eyes again, I am afraid that I will be forgotten by the people I know, and I am afraid that the world I know has changed again.”

The drug was clearly spinning.

However, Eleanor’s staggering body and bloodshot eyes were glaring in the direction of Ulla.

“I couldn’t sleep.”

Doesn’t fall asleep. can’t fall asleep

That will stemming from fear was awakening Eleanor’s mental state, ignoring even the medicinal effect.

“So now I’m here to take back my world.”

Eleanor never sleeps.

She cannot fall asleep because she is afraid that the things that exist in her world will disappear.

therefore.

Normal daily life with Lucia.

I have come to take back the world.
