7. Student Council – 02

“… You were so reckless. Miss Erekaya.”

In the chairperson’s office, in the back, Nineveh’s chairperson, Lysithea von Edelstein, was sighing toward Erekaya.

“I have heard all the stories. I heard that this kind of division occurred while dueling with Altina von Rudel Serias.”

“… Satan. I was only doing my best in evaluating this duel.”

“That is what Satan is.”

ugh-

After condensing and compressing the aura in his right hand, the director poured the aura into Erekaya’s wounded area.

The essence of aura is none other than life.

Since Aura was the power of combining the life energy that every human being possesses with the magic power in the air, it could be used not only to destroy something, but also to heal others and boost vitality in this way.

When the director lifted up the aura himself and repaired Erekaya’s wound, the sword wound she suffered began to heal at a noticeable speed.

An unbelievable sight, as if time had been rewinded backwards. However, it was a sight that Erekaya was too familiar with.

Because after Erekaya reached the level of Master, the person who acted as her mentor until she developed these skills was none other than the Chairman of the Board.

In this way, the director was healing Erekaya’s wounds at a faster rate than most priests or wizards, but his own face was hardened.

slow. Normally, it would have taken more than enough time to heal Erekaya’s wounds, but the healing speed was strangely slow.

“… As expected, residual auras remain in Erekaya-sama’s wounds. And the residual aura is countering the aura I draw, slowing the healing of the wound.”

Not long ago, Erekaya was injured in a duel with Altina.

And in Erekaya’s wounds, a third person’s aura, neither Erekaya’s nor the director’s, remained.

Putting it all together, only one conclusion can be drawn.

“Amazing. To think that Altina von Rudel Serias had really risen to the level of a master.”

The chairman spoke in a nonsensical tone.

It was in his early twenties that even the chairman of the board, who grew up being called a genius from a young age, reached the level of a master.

And just entering the master’s stage in his early twenties had been praised as an unprecedented event in the history of the continent, except for the seven heroes.

But now, as if to ridicule such a chairman, there are as many as two people who have reached the level of masters at the age of their teens.

“… Well, Altina von Rudel Serias actually reached the level of Master is not that important in the current situation, so let’s move on. Now, other than that, there are a lot of things to be a problem.”

The chairman opened his mouth as if his head was really hurting as he tightened his temple.

“Apart from everything else, let me ask you one thing first. Erekaya-sama, why did you reveal that you had reached the level of a master in this duel?”

Neither of them had an aura on their swords, probably because they had at least a ray of reason left, but in the eyes of the director, the actions of Erekaya and Altina today were no different than telling the neighborhood that they had reached the level of masters.

In the aftermath of the duel between the two of them today, the gymnasium, which had undergone major physical treatment, was reduced to powder, and the barriers surrounding it were also shattered, and the aftermath caused the buildings near the gymnasium to collapse.

By this point, anyone with a keen eye would have realized everything.

The fact that the two people’s martial arts were not at the level of ordinary students, but those of a master called the absolute ruler of public life.

“This was not like Erekaya-sama, who doesn’t like to take risks. Wasn’t Lady Erekaya herself the one who suggested that she hide the fact that she had reached the Master’s level in the first place out of fear of attracting attention from others?”

“… that’s.”

Even Erekaya had ten mouths, there was no way to justify that.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t tell the truth as it is.

How can I open my mouth in front of the chairman?

In fact, originally, I tried to stop at the line where I got along with Altina moderately, far from giving my full strength, but after hearing that the man took on the role of Altina’s teacher, my eyes went half-blind!

… And the fact that if he defeated Altina, who had reached the level of Master, he had a childish mind that he might have some interest in him.

The chairman doesn’t know yet. The fact that a man named Jin actually inherited the lineage of the Duke of Pendragon.

Of course, the chairman is also not without thoughts, so he must be guessing to some extent, but it is just a feeling, and he will not have accurate physical evidence.

It’s not that the chairman doesn’t believe it. but… It meant that I wanted to approach this matter carefully.

That man, Jin, is Pendragon’s blood and blood. He is a descendant of a family exiled from the Pendragon family 50 years ago.

Even though she is the main culprit of ruining Jin’s life, the blood and synesthesia they inherited prove that they are inseparable.

He has always been alone. Because Erekaya made it that way.

He has lived alone so far, not relying on anyone. Because Erekaya created such an environment.

And Erekaya couldn’t save Jin, who was left alone in such an environment. No, I didn’t even know he existed until he came to Nineveh.

While he spent a lonely and lonely childhood, she was just happy alone without being by his side-

To such Erekaya, there may be no right to call that man ‘family’ anywhere.

And because of that, Erekaya can never be still at this moment.

If you pretend not to know your mistakes, turn away, and do nothing saying that you do not know, this moment will not change in the end.

In the end, Erekaya has no choice but to approach this matter extremely cautiously.

Because I didn’t have the slightest intention of making the same mistakes again and again.

“…..”

And seeing Erekaya like that, the chairman sighed inwardly.

It seems that the lord she is supposed to serve doesn’t like to comment on what happened today.

“… Ha, I see. If Erekaya-nim does that, let’s skip this issue for now. Just in time, there is one thing I need to report to Erekaya-nim.”

“report? what is it?”

“Yes. Jean, I have news that you have found a clue that may reveal the man’s hidden past.”

“proviso?”

For a moment, Erekaya raised her eyebrows.

He said that he couldn’t find any clues when he met the chairman not too long ago, but how did he find any clues now?

Considering the meticulous nature of the Duke of Pendragon and the elders behind him, any clues related to Jinui’s origins must have disappeared a long time ago.

“Of course, I also did not have high expectations for that aspect. As Erekaya-nim knows well, the elders of the family are even very persistent about such things.”

“But upon reflection, it dawned on me that there is a more efficient method than rummaging through old family records.”

“What is it?”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just a guess that even if we don’t know about him, other people might know something about him.”

The chairman secretly spread a rumor throughout Nineveh.

It was a rumor that Jin was not just a commoner, but a hidden relative of a prominent aristocratic family known to all cadets at Nineveh.

If there was someone who knew something about Jin’s origin, a response would surely come out from somewhere, and even if there was no income, all the students in Nineveh would not dare to touch Jin, so as the chairman of the board, it could be said that it was a business without any loss.

Actually, I didn’t have any expectations. There was no way that clues that hadn’t been found so far would fall from the sky just because they spread such nonsense.

But, indeed, a clue was found.

“The servant who usually cleans his room told me this. In one corner of his room hangs a family photo, and the overall appearance of the family is oddly aristocratic. I don’t think it’s really discredited to say that the man came from an aristocrat… I mean.”

pounding-

In an instant, Erekaya’s heart thumped violently.

family photo.

his family.

His real family, who had to enjoy all the rights and happiness as Pendragon’s descendants with him.

The appearance of a harmonious family destroyed by Erekaya del Pendragon and the Pendragon duchy.

Are you saying that all of that is contained in that photograph?

“… Where is that photo now?”

For some reason, my tongue feels dry and dry. Erekaya tried to hide the nervousness that surged deep in her heart, and quietly opened her mouth to the chairman.

“That is… I don’t know why, but as of yesterday, he said he removed the picture from his room. I also entered his room while he was away, but in the end I couldn’t find the picture.”

“… What makes a montage based on the testimony of the employee?”

“I tried to do that too, but the servant’s memory was very unclear. I just couldn’t remember anything except that the hair of the people in the family photo was all black.”

black hair.

A family with dark hair. And a little boy with dark hair.

They are pictured… family photo.

There is an unknown feeling in her heart. A strange feeling, like a worm wriggling in your head. An uncomfortable feeling, as if someone had clamped down on her heart.

Pretending not to know the sensation, Erekaya put strength into her hands.

“… If so, does that mean that no one has seen the picture except the servant who cleans it?”

“Yes, so far. However, as a result of checking the dormitory access list, there was only one person who had ever entered the room where the man lived.”

“That, who the hell is that?”

In response to Erekaya’s urgent question, the chairman showed signs of contemplation on whether to answer or not, and then opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.

“… Altina.”

“Altina von Rudel Serias. She, whom Erekaya-sama also knows well, is the only person with a record of entering and exiting that man’s room.”
