7. Student Council – 03

Erekaya Del Pendragon doesn’t really like Altina von Rudel Serias.

Although they have known and interacted with each other since they were very young and grown up, they do not feel familiarity or sweet feelings toward Altina, such as intimacy.

After all, the Count Serias family is only a collateral branch of the Pendragon family, and Altina, after all, is in a position to serve Erekaya as a vassal.

Too much time has passed since the Count Serias family split from the Pendragon Duke family, and they are in Nineveh, where all students maintain equal status, so they maintain a ‘friend’ relationship with each other, but if they were originally the same, the two would consider themselves equal to each other. It is placed in an impossible position.

Well, it wasn’t that Erekaya didn’t want to go through the genealogy of hundreds of years ago and rank herself between Altina and herself.

It’s just that every time I face Altina, I naturally feel like I’m under him for some reason, so I couldn’t continue my relationship with her seriously.

However, apart from external issues such as lineage and rank, Erekaya did not like Altina very much even as a human to human.

No, it’s just a little, but Erekaya hates Altina.

Because Altina von Rudel Serias… Because she has everything she doesn’t have.

Friends don’t exist by Erekaya del Pendragon’s side.

Many people feel burdened by the Empire’s first family, the Duke of Pendragon, and Erekaya herself is not very kind to others, so others are reluctant to come close to her.

However, there are always many friends by Altina von Rudel Serias’ side.

This is because many people were attracted to her energy, which is bright by nature, considerate of others, and always maintains her confidence.

Although she has recently been living in the gym with Jin and undergoing repeated training, she feels a little neglected in interpersonal relationships, but it is undeniable that Altina is still an indispensable person in class A and a person like lubricant. .

Erekaya Del Pendragon has no blood relatives.

The Pendragon duchy is famous for the extremely small number of blood relatives that make up the family compared to its status. In the past, it was a family whose hands were so precious that it was considered brave that the line was not cut off.

Erekaya’s only close blood relatives are her father and mother.

A ‘family’ where you can open your heart, care for each other, and rely on each other… It doesn’t exist for her.

However, Altina von Rudel Serias has many siblings.

From the older sister who cherishes and cares for Altina, to the younger brother who admires and likes Altina.

There is always a smile on the side of Altina von Rudel Serias, and happiness never fades.

Erekaya Del Pendragon has no one who can be called a teacher.

Of course, Duke Pendragon, who taught Erekaya swordsmanship since childhood, and the director who guided her after reaching the level of a master, are also worthy of being called teachers to Erekaya.

However, Duke Pendragon passed on the family’s vision, the ‘Dragon Dance’, to Erekaya to succeed the Duke of Pendragon in the future, and the chairman merely led her to a higher level as a courtesy of a vassal. don’t

A teacher cares for his student unconditionally, and a student respects and respects such a teacher.

A relationship that is not meant to teach each other with a purpose, but is tied to affection and love.

At least Erekaya did not feel that she was placed in such a teacher-teacher relationship.

But Altina von Rudel Serais is different.

To be honest, Erekaya doesn’t have much interest or interest in ‘ordinary Altina’.

The kind of environment she was in, the kind of life she usually leads, and the kind of people she hangs out with were things that were out of her interest in the first place.

However, even for her, the news that Altina von Rudel Serias became entangled in some kind of relationship with that man, and gradually the distance between the two of them grew closer, eventually forming a relationship called ‘teacher and disciple’, made her very anxious. I mean, I had no choice but to.

And that, Erekaya didn’t like it very much.

It always has been. It was always like that. Altina von Rudel Serais was always an unfair being who had a lot of things she didn’t have.

Altina von Rudel Serias had many close friends. There were even many trusted blood relatives. What was lacking in Erekaya’s life, Altina possessed it as if she were greedy.

I never thought I was envious. In the first place, the paths she and Altina walk are very different.

Even if she had a lot of elements that he couldn’t help but admire, he thought that would be the way Altina would go, not the woman named Erekaya Del Pendragon.

… Yes, at least until now.

Erekaya doesn’t like Altina. Because Altina, who has everything, is now trying to steal the last man she has left.

Jin could be Erekaya’s one and only friend. However, Altina became friends with Jin before Erekaya.

It is clear that Jin is Erekaya’s only blood relative. However, Altina gets closer to him first, and gets along more freely than her own blood relatives.

Jin could be a teacher who could teach Erekaya something.

However, Altina von Rudel Serias had already formed a relationship with Jin as a teacher and disciple without Erekaya being aware of it.

… ah, i don’t like it This is so petty and unfair.

Why do you always take everything I don’t have? Since I already have everything, am I trying to steal the only thing I have left?

Are you trying to take away from me the person who can be my friend, blood relative, and teacher at the same time?

With those dark thoughts quietly buried in a corner of her chest, Erekaya entered the hospital room where Altina was lying.

Aside from all those feelings, Erekaya had one thing she had to ask Altina about.

“Yes, Altina. Are you okay?”

“… no, not so much.”

In a way, it couldn’t have been a slightly funny sight. Erekaya, who had been seriously injured in the duel that day, was walking around with her body intact, but Altina, who had no noticeable injuries except for internal injuries, was lying on her bed in the hospital room.

Well, it’s not that Altina’s condition is incomprehensible.

At the last moment, after overlapping aura, paranormal ability, and will at once, the reaction returned to her body intact, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable for her inside to be a mess.

“Take it. It’s hardly a welcome present, but I’ve brought you something that will make your recovery even easier.”

Saying that, Erekaya hurriedly handed Altina something contained in a glass bottle the size of a pinky fingernail to Altina.

“uh? uh. thanks. But what is this?”

“Elixir.”

“… what, what?”

Elixir.

As a potion named after the panacea in the legend, it is an extremely rare potion that the Wizards Association only produces in very small amounts, about one or two bottles a year.

According to rumors, this small glass bottle is worth a decent castle.

But how can such a rare and valuable item be handed out as a gift for a hospital visit?

“I’ll let you spec. Surely you don’t think that the Pendragon family is such a pathetic family that they can’t even give you a potion like that?”

Altina stuck her tongue out inwardly at Erekaya’s wealth, calling it a ‘potion’ for such a valuable and valuable elixir, but it was really rude to decline when she came out like that, as Erekaya said.

“… thanks. I will make sure to repay this favor someday.”

“What about grace? You don’t have to worry about it. Are we always ‘friends’?”

Altina did not notice that a strange resonant was felt in Erekaya’s word ‘friend’.

“By the way, other people are really too. You’re lying sick from the injuries sustained in the duel with me, and you’re not showing up anywhere, let alone visiting the hospital.”

When Erekaya let out a sigh and said that, Altina smiled wryly and shook her head as if refuting her words.

“No way. Many people have already come to visit the hospital. In the case of Claire and Jin, in particular, they come to visit us every day.”

“… jin? Why is that man here?”

“As I said before, Jin was acting as my teacher. He thought that the reason I got hurt was because he taught me wrong, so he went here every day. Seriously, he thinks he’s a kid I put out on some water. There is no need to overprotect to that extent.”

At first glance, it was a tone that made it bothersome for him to visit this place. However, Erekaya did not miss the fact that there was a strange ‘proud’ and ‘proud’ in Altina’s words.

“… Yes, that’s right. That man, he used to go here every day.”

An unknown emotion stirs in my heart. I have a bad feeling, like there is no blood flowing through my fingertips.

But never show it outwardly. Even if it’s in front of other people, I can never show those feelings in front of Altina von Rudel Serias.

Fortunately, that’s not too difficult. Because wearing a mask in front of other people is a familiar thing.

But today, wearing that mask… It doesn’t work as intended.

His empty space, which he had visited every day, only felt too big for Erekaya.

“Well, in a way, I’m a teacher. Actually, I’ve been to his dormitory before. Jin comes to my hospital room every day, or I go into his dormitory, is that it?”

In an instant, something in Erekaya’s chest trembled and soared.

I knew. The fact that Altina had visited his room before.

Didn’t Erekaya personally come to visit her in the hospital in order to confirm that fact from Altina in the first place? That’s no surprise at all.

So Erekaya had to keep her cool. We need to elicit information from Altina’s mouth.

But, but… Hearing those words from Altina’s mouth made my head dizzy. My heart is pounding. The tip of his tongue was parched and dry, and he could not open his mouth in haste.

Altina, what kind of relationship do you have with that man? Because of the kind of relationship they were in, they were able to visit each other’s places so naturally.

And you, why the hell are you always taking what I always wanted.

Altina was saying something in front of her eyes, but Erekaya couldn’t hear anything else.

Alas, I hate it. I hate everything. I hate everything.

… Altina, you are not a bad girl. I’m not an annoying woman either.

You are truly a cruel woman to me.

And I’m like you-

Really, no.
