chapter 23
23 – Is the saintess the saintess?
“He. Are you more interested in Sister Enlil?”
Rion kept silent instead of answering Seria’s question.
It would be a lie if I were to ask if it’s not a problem now.
Battle Priests, Saint, Seria. This woman is definitely a great gemstone.
If Enlil is an expert with more experience than anyone else about the tower.
Seria can be said to be the most optimized character to fight in the tower.
The level of the two is generally similar. It’s hard to say who is better.
Nonetheless, if there is one crucial difference, it is retention.
She had Seria, but not Enlil. She splits there.
‘If you invest in Seria as much as you invested in Enlil… There might be a possibility.’
The reason why Enlil, who had reached the top floor, had no choice but to kneel down.
No matter how good your skills are, no matter how good your mana utilization is.
The opponent is also very strong, so of course there is no choice but to get injured.
It was a big thing that it overloaded her body as it accumulated.
On the contrary, Seria can be said to be free in that part.
As she continues to heal and fight, her skills will quickly improve.
‘In my heart, I want to do something for both of them, but….’
It is absolutely impossible in terms of time. Mana seniority is just the beginning.
And if you go into earnest, you have to keep watching except during training.
There is a risk of injury if you don’t get on the right path.
You need to decide on the main. It is indispensable.
“….”
The answer of Leon, who finally organized her thoughts ―
“Yes, Miss Seria. I still have high hopes for her.”
The decisive reason for such an answer was Seria’s unique constitution.
Anyway, it can be said that mana training is essential in the tower.
But looking at Seria’s mana flow, there was a problem.
It flows differently from normal people, so I have to tell you completely differently.
I never thought I would have such a constitution, so it will take some time.
And even if she makes her own principles anew, no one knows when she will master it.
‘To sum it up, Enlil is definitely growing in other areas, even though he doesn’t have the staying power. And her holding power is the best, but Seria is not sure about other parts, especially the mana opening method. If this is the case, who will she drive it to? The answer is no different from a rough guess.’
In addition, nine times already Enlil was saved by himself.
The anger, humiliation, and vengeance that comes from that will be a great motivator.
It was very disappointing that it took nearly a year to throw away that part.
“Is that so? It is unwavering trust.”
Seria responded by nodding her head in understanding.
Then, she said, “What is it?” And continued her words, taking off her rhyme.
“It’s not that you don’t take care of me at all, you look at me like other students, right? Even if it doesn’t teach you very thoroughly like Sister Enlil.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“No. Rather, I am very happy. An intense and firm belief in someone. It’s a heart that can’t be easily embraced in today’s difficult and harsh world. I am very happy to see that.”
And—
“On the one hand, I am envious. Sister Enlil, who has such faith.”
What are you envious of? If I knew the truth, I would never have said that.
Lion clicked his tongue inside and returned the sword to Priest Blon.
“Let’s do this for today, Miss Seriya. I need to prepare some things to formally teach from tomorrow.”
“It must be because of my unique constitution, right?”
Rion nodded and turned to say that she would go first.
“By the way, Instructor Leone.”
Seria, who suddenly grabbed Leone, stared at him and continued her words.
“Instructor. He has a very strange aura.”
The moment he heard Seria’s words, Leon’s hands flinched and trembled.
What is that again? For what purpose are you saying that?
I took a peek at it just in case, but the body’s power is completely trapped.
There was no corner to leak like when fighting the hydra.
In the first place, the collision with that woman was only at an extremely light level.
“It’s a strange energy.”
At Leon’s question, Seria smiled and nodded her head.
I don’t say in detail what that ‘energy’ is.
As if you wanted to explain it, I just looked at it.
“Maybe. I handled mana in a slightly different way than the people here. The cadets barely noticed, but Miss Seria recognized it right away. That’s why it’s so important.”
Catching the fact that he has a lot of practical experience, he sneaks away.
In order to prevent the other person from refuting, did I tell you to hold on to the good points of the other person?
I’m praising you, but you can’t eat me like that! In.
If you have a conscience, you can’t help but hesitate because it’s like conveying such a message.
Rion is using that part perfectly.
As expected, it was a boss monster’s lowliness and savagery.
“… Okay. Is it so. All right. See you tomorrow, Instructor Leon.”
*
Seria was silently staring at the spot where Leon was standing.
His eyes are so deep that the priests can’t even speak properly.
“Saintess.”
In the end, her Blon priest came forward and called her.
Before she became a saint, she was a close friend who used to kill monsters together.
Even after becoming a saint, she is a person who can treat Seria without difficulty.
“How was it, Priest Blon?”
Seria is the first to ask a question to Priest Blon.
You may ask what he meant, but Priest Blon opened his mouth after thinking about it for a while.
“As the saintess said, she is someone with a mysterious aura.”
“Right? Also. It wasn’t just me.”
If he had heard their conversation, Leone would have jumped up.
Obviously it’s very well sealed with no leaks, so what’s the problem?
The good news is that he wasn’t worried.
“I met some people who said they came from across the sea, but it wasn’t like that.”
“I heard the other day that he was from a samurai who was famous there.”
“Speaking of samurai… Can this be considered a knight?”
“I think you can look at it that way.”
A person like that would do a great job in the fight against demon beasts.
Thinking of the army of hell, whose strength never diminishes no matter how many times you kill them.
Seria hoped that this tedious war and difficult ordeal would end soon.
She felt grateful for the role she played.
Sabak―
At this time, Seria heard the sound of someone approaching.
Judging by the reactions of Priest Blon and other priests, she doesn’t seem to have noticed yet.
That means that the level of the approaching opponent is one level higher than them.
“The one who comes from there. Who are you?”
So when Seria opened her mouth first, the person approaching from there stopped.
At the right time, the priests also pay attention to whether they have noticed the other person’s presence.
“… Who are the people there?”
The voice I heard was clearly that of a woman.
It is clear that even the person who said that was surprised.
If it’s acting, it’s great, and if it’s real, reassurance should come first.
Bathrock―
Eventually, the person who appeared in front of Seria and her priests was―
“Ah.”
“Does anyone know, Priest Blon?”
“It’s like him.”
“If he is… Ah.”
Seria nodded her head and let go of her vigilance and smiled at her.
Then she takes a step forward and greets her lightly.
“Hello, Sister Enlil. Should I call you “Hero?”
Otherwise, seniors are fine too! As a hero, you are a senior!
What about Enlil who appeared in the backyard at the end? She does and she makes a panicked noise.
She is the one who likes to walk in the backyard where she usually has no one.
When her mind was complicated or confused, she always came here.
And because of what Leon said, it completely messed up.
She came to calm her down as usual, but it turned out to be popular.
She naturally thought she was a cadet, but looking at it this way, it wasn’t at all.
“Who… See?”
“The introduction is late. Anastasia Ceria, they say.”
“Anastasia… Oh, maybe A saint?”
Because I know that it is a name only given to saints or saints.
Enlil was startled and hurriedly lowered her head.
“Nice to meet you, saintess. My name is Eleanor Celestine.”
“You don’t have to be too rigid. She wears the name of a saint, but on the other hand, she is a candidate for a hero. Until the tower collapses, is she going to be Sister Enlil’s junior?”
After that, the saintess talked to Enlil with her very friendly attitude.
The only warrior who has survived for nearly 100 years.
Some people have doubts, but he is still a hope for many.
Please don’t be weak and stay strong as always.
“You’re overrated. I’m just lucky….”
“There is a saying that luck is also skill. Isn’t that right, Priest Blon?”
“The saintess is right. No matter how talented a person is, isn’t it a world where life and death often depend on the fortune of the day?”
“Priest Blon said the same thing. And if you keep lowering yourself, it may be rude to the warriors who have entered the tower so far. Sister.”
Even though it’s the first time we’ve met today, he’s very skillful at leading the conversation.
To the point where someone would mistakenly think that we’ve known each other for a long time, that we’re very close.
“I’d like to talk more, but it’s a little late. Starting tomorrow, we will officially stay at the academy, so let’s even talk about it then. Are you okay, sister?”
At Seria’s words, Enlil gave her a small nod.
Battle Priests, an expert among experts when it comes to combat with Demonic Beasts.
Those who don’t usually come out in the sun appeared at the academy.
I wonder if we can learn something else from them.
They might know the strategy of attacking the witch beast that troubled them so much in the tower.
So, I thought that if I met the people of the Combat Priests, I would become friends right away.
‘Saint….’
The very person who said he would attach Leon as an exclusive instructor appeared.
Even—
“Ah. I met Instructor Leon a little while ago. Apparently he’s a very nice guy, and he seems to have a lot of trust in him. Sister, you are very lucky. I envy you. Something like that.”
“….”
Even though it’s clearly meant with good intentions, why is it momentarily wary?
It was Enlil who had come to clear her mind, but had become more messed up.
