15 – What You Have To Do To Live

After failing to bring down the tower again.

Unlike her previous days, Enlil confined herself to her room.

Others thought it was simply because of the severity of the injury.

Actually, there was a different reason why she had been silent for several days.

“Alive. Come back alive Thank you so much.”

Pu-wook-

Enlil buried her face deeply in her pillow.

No matter how hard I tried to forget it, I kept thinking of Leon’s words.

Was she just grateful? She never said anything like that to anyone.

She walked through that hell nine times, even though she came back.

Everyone in the world thought I was just fulfilling my destiny as a hero.

‘No, no. That’s not it.’

The buried Enlil shakes her head with all his might.

If you think I felt grateful for Leon’s words.

She wondered if all she had done was to ask for a reward.

She had to do her job as a warrior, but she didn’t get to say thank you.

She felt so sorry for herself that she ever thought she was sorry for that.

‘Then what is this tingling sensation….’

After thinking for a long time, Enlil finally came to a conclusion.

Now this feeling, it is clear that I feel sorry for Leon.

Wasn’t she insulted by the tower’s owner for her own inadequacies?

Although it is said that Leon was not there, the mana directed towards him was his help.

Because they fought together, Enlil thought that they were equally ridiculed.

‘Right. This, this feeling, I feel sorry for the instructor. Then….’

In that case, let’s not stay like this, let’s go and apologize right away.

Now that I’ve realized my shortcomings, I’ll work even harder to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Thought that he should say that to Leon, Enlil hurriedly rose from his seat.

This feeling of wanting to see him soon, just thinking that an apology is urgent.

I can’t recall at all that there are other cases besides the feeling of being grateful or sorry.

It was Enlil who was busily running to the place where Rion was to be in one month.

*

Enlil’s sudden confinement like never before.

It was clear that everyone was taken aback by the news.

Maybe he suffered a serious injury that left aftereffects.

Or maybe your heart is broken and you can no longer fulfill your destiny.

I couldn’t bear to ask why, and I was just trembling.

But Leone was different. He knew why Enlil did it.

‘The owner of the tower for the first time, so you hit me. It must be a dream.’

Didn’t you finally see the real potential after losing vainly several times?

It is clear that the anticipation and excitement coming from there will be greater than expected.

It probably took a few days to control that mind, Leon thought.

Rather, there is no enlil, so this time you can feel a little relieved.

Rion decided to make the most of this time.

Properly teaching the cadets, looking for another potential candidate.

To find a way to control the power of the main body that keeps popping out without notice.

In fact, the latter was the most important and painful part in the current situation.

I’ve never been like this before in the tower, but as soon as I went outside, I became like this.

Is this what the power constraints are talking about, or is it because it’s outside the tower?

I couldn’t be sure what to say, so I was going to go crazy and jump up and down.

“… I’ll be thrilled Why are you doing this?”

The power of the main body was still arbitrary, to the point where self-talk came out.

It’s normally fine, but it will appear if you use more than a certain amount of mana.

If you want to train Enlil to be stronger, you will eventually need to use mana.

When this happened, there was no other way but to take the risk every time.

In a hurry, Leon installed a kind of barrier on his body.

It’s different from what you see in novel settings, such as seals.

This is only to block the inside, it can’t do more than that.

If the excess capacity of the strength that can withstand it hits, it will break unconditionally.

‘You have to be considerate. It’s right to buy it… This sh*t. It’s only for those who know how to breathe.’

Using mana is as natural as using muscles.

How can I finely control the body’s power flowing out in the meantime?

It is said that they put up barriers, but in the end, it is a stopgap measure. Always be careful and be careful.

Although it was a temporary measure, he must have dealt with it first. Leon waited for Enlil.

Then I looked at the cadets, but as expected, there was no hero on the level of Enlil.

Perhaps Enlil’s return was destined to be repeated several more times.

“Instructor!”

The moment I was organizing what to teach Enlil next.

At the welcome voice from behind, Leone slowly turned around.

“Instructor Leone!!”

Looking at him running so fast, it seems that his prediction was correct.

You must be very happy. Because it was the first time I gave the owner of the tower a valid hit.

If you work harder in the future, you will have hope that you can fulfill your destiny.

I have succeeded in putting new firewood into the flame that was burning in Enlil.

Rion did not hide his pride in that part….

“Sorry!!”

“… Uh?”

It was Enlil who immediately apologized as soon as he approached him.

All I can do is let out a sigh at this completely unexpected sight.

I couldn’t understand why he was apologizing when he came running all of a sudden.

Thanks to you, I said I had a good shot, didn’t I say thank you?

“The instructor’s teaching was definitely amazing. But I… Because I was lacking, I made an appearance that insulted even the instructor. Sorry. It’s all my fault.”

“… Ah.”

Only then did I finally understand why Enlil was suddenly acting like this.

It was something she had only said once before, but she seems to have taken it differently.

‘Why is everyone planting flowers like this?’

I forcibly resisted wanting to grab her face.

Leone approached Enlil, who was unable to raise her head.

“Raise your head.”

“….”

“I told you to raise your head, Enlil. And don’t even apologize. Are you apologizing for what you did wrong?”

From the point of view of Leon watching, it was an act that seemed like he was about to burst into death.

She didn’t do anything wrong, she just fought hard.

She didn’t like the fact that she acted like a criminal.

No matter how much she failed to fulfill her duty as a warrior.

Even if you reach the point where your life is saved by the owner of the tower.

Wasn’t that an irresistible event?

“I apologize….”

“Certainly, even with the mana practice method I taught you, you couldn’t do it. You don’t think you’ve ruined the new method, do you? Less than a month has passed since you learned it. I can’t even eat and do anything. If I had had more time, if I had known more, the outcome might have been different.”

“….”

“Never mind what someone says. Because you are doing well enough.”

Leon, who clicked his tongue, lightly nagged him to do more training at that time.

It was not very pleasant to see Enlil drooping like this.

“… Instructor Leon.”

Enlil, who stood silent for a while, looked at Rion and slowly parted his lips.

“I… I will really, really work hard. So, so, I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen next time.”

No, that’s why I meant that when I said that….

Leone let out a sigh and nodded his head reluctantly.

In the current situation, Enlil learned how to practice mana.

And I was satisfied with the fact that my will continued unbroken.

“Okay then, since you’ve learned the most basic of mana practice, let’s move on to the next one. Keep your mind straight From now on, the difficulty will increase significantly. Do you understand, Enlil?”

“… Yes, Instructor Leon. I will do my best.”

A hero who was defeated by the owner of the tower, but gains strength again by the owner of the tower.

She must be defeated again and again to make her warrior stronger to kill herself.

The destinies of the two men and women who couldn’t get along at all were becoming more intertwined.

*

“It failed again.”

“I say yes.”

“If so, then this is the ninth failure.”

In the conference hall, several men and women were conversing in a serious tone.

Judging from the contents of the sharing, it was assumed that it was about the tower and the warrior.

“Isn’t this enough for her?”

“However, unlike other warriors, he is a warrior who has been resurrected.”

“Perhaps the warrior named Enlil made a deal….”

“Ugh! How can you say that! She just lacked strength! Can you put up with her excruciating pain and fear and say those words to the hero who went to the tower again and again?!”

The person who questioned the middle-aged man’s shouting immediately shut her mouth.

Even if you think about it, doubting Enlil was really bad.

“But aren’t her limits clear?”

However, not everyone around her was sympathetic to her.

It was only once or twice that they were defeated and revived, but it was judged that there was no hope because there were too many.

I don’t doubt it, but I thought I should stop putting too much hope on it.

“Now we have to look for other possibilities. We must give all our support to that candidate.”

“That’s right. You cannot rely on one person forever.”

“I heard that a new method called the mana practice method came in this time.”

“You mean what Instructor Edmund mentioned? I found out that it was suggested by a new drill sergeant named Leon. It is said to be a mana utilization method used by certain warriors across the sea.”

The topic of these people is short-lived, but it switches to mana practice and ion.

I mean, how much positive influence can they have on the candidate for the hero?

“Listening to the reviews, Instructor Leone is said to be a pretty good person. So, I think it’s better to take him off and attach him to another candidate to take down the tower.”

“Is there anyone you are keeping an eye on?”

Then the figure in the pure white priestly uniform smiled.

“This time, it is said that a new saint has been identified within the combat priesthood.”
