chapter 24
24 – They’re so awkward
A saintess has joined the warrior academy. The news soon spread throughout the school.
“The saintess is here? When? Didn’t she even hear something similar like that?”
“Hasn’t it been a while since you received the revelation? By the way, to the academy already?”
It is surprising that the saintess, one of the two wings of the church, came without anyone knowing.
But what was even more surprising than that was the overwhelming skill and performance of the saintess.
“You have worked hard. Brother.”
“Hey!”
The cadets and warrior candidates who were almost ready to head to the tower.
Against them, the saintess Seria won a victory.
The opponents are all those who have their own practical experience and solid skills.
Within a year at the latest, he would be given the name of a hero and head for the tower.
Even if it’s not as good as Enlil, it can be seen that it’s on the verge of reaching that level.
“Kyaaak!”
Against such candidates, it was Seria who did not even have a crisis.
“It was a close second. Thank you for the good fight. Sister.”
Despite beating all of her candidates, Seria didn’t show off in the slightest.
Rather, she humbled herself by saying that all of her opponents had given her a hand.
It was a bonus that it healed even small wounds.
“….”
Rion, who watched the scene from a distance, scratched his cheek once.
As Seria said, not all of her opponents were active.
No, it’s correct to say that I didn’t do it correctly. Isn’t the opponent a saint?
Even if it’s a confrontation, if you do something wrong, you’ll get uncomfortable glances from the Church and the Empire.
I was a little hopeful that no one would attack me saying, ‘Anyone tell me whether they are saints or denominations!’.
Unfortunately, however, none of them looked like a candidate for a hero.
It was only natural that Seria was in a better situation to win because of this.
‘Even so, it wasn’t sloppy or careless. Did she put more weight on defense than attack? Even though that was all, the fact that it was shot with such an overwhelming gap….’
No matter how hard the candidates are, they’re just kids who haven’t even properly learned how to practice mana.
Although it seems that if she enters the tower, there is a very high probability that she will die before that, let alone her room.
Still, other parts can be considered worthy of a warrior’s business card.
Seria, her saintess who wielded her twin swords easily surpassed that.
At that level, it could be said to be on the same level as Enlil, or slightly above it.
“Oh, Instructor.”
Seria, who was acting alone unlike yesterday, finds Leone and approaches.
Suddenly, I remember what that woman said yesterday, saying that I feel a strange energy.
Even though I’ve looked it over and made sure it didn’t reveal the slightest bit of power.
The eyes that seemed to see right through this side were very uncomfortable even for Leon.
That’s why I didn’t choose Seria instead of Enlil.
“How was it? Was I like a warrior?”
“I don’t know that Miss Seria is a warrior, but I know for sure that those friends are still lacking.”
I feel it every time I see it. Is that a warrior? That’s why the tower lasted for 100 years, damn it.
I want to catch all of them right now and do a mental remodeling after jojin relentlessly.
Put away all the honor and nobility of a warrior and arm yourself with an evil spirit.
After doing that, wouldn’t it be a little better if I inject the mana technique?
“You are more calm than you look.”
“It has no choice but to be. If I had done that in my hometown, I would have died long ago.”
“Is the world across the sea such a scary place? I met some of the people there, but it wasn’t as terrifying and brutal as that.”
Rion had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
Coming to think of it, I only got the settings, but I don’t even know what it’s like to cross the sea.
This is the danger of setting insects. If you get caught up in the settings, it can really get you into trouble.
“Well, you said you were a warrior there, so it might be like that on the battlefield.”
I don’t know if you know that it added tension to the owner of the tower.
Seria smiled and said that she was fortunate that she was not lacking in herself.
“This is Instructor Leone’s training time, right?”
“I will.”
“I’m looking forward to it. That mana technique.”
In fact, it can be said that there are a lot of idiots to say about expectations.
Enlil is the only one who has seen the effect of mana training.
The rest of the students haven’t even started, let alone seniority.
It will be difficult. It will be difficult Above all, why would you want to do one?
With mana overflowing, should I do something that has the risk of failure?
It turns out that mana also exists in the tower, so should this really be the case?
The moment you have such a question, your mind becomes clouded and your concentration is disturbed.
It’s Enlil, but Leon intensively marked it, and she solidified the momentum and her will.
Other cadets don’t have that, so you have to do it yourself.
“You better not expect too much. It’s because Enlil is still the only one who has seen the effect.”
“The fact that the only surviving patient received the effect is rather important. Rather than that, how about letting go now? I don’t like it when other cadets think I’m the only one being discriminated against.”
“… I was just trying to put it down.”
Actually, since she is a saint, I wondered if she would be very authoritative or rigid.
But maybe it’s because her original affiliation was the ‘combat priests’, there’s no such thing.
‘I feel so good, I’m worried because I’m especially used to catching and killing beasts.’
Enlil said she fights too much with herself, so if you’re worried about noticing her.
In the case of Seria, she is so experienced that she has no choice but to worry.
Thinking that his own fate was also a misfortune, Leon continued her words.
“If you properly learn the mana practice, you could become even stronger than you are now. But….”
“But you must be worried about my peculiar constitution.”
, She shrugs her shoulders as if Seria wants to look at her.
Unlike the cadet uniforms worn by her warrior candidates, Seria’s clothes are very revealing.
She seems to have reduced it somehow, but it is too stimulating to see it generously.
But what can I do? Wrapping up her body won’t work, so there’s no way.
‘Those candidates, it’s possible that they fell in love with that appearance and lost their minds.’
Even if you are an academy cadet or a candidate for a hero, you are still human after all. And humans are animals by nature.
Even if you put up with it, if it continues to flutter in front of your eyes, of course your eyes will follow you.
I don’t know about the female cadets, but the male cadets deserved a share there.
Anyway, it was a situation where it was unknown what kind of adverse effect that constitution, which circulates mana through the skin, would have.
“I should see it once. Let’s not give up hope.”
“Yes. See you later, Instructor Leon.”
After a light greeting, Seria turns around and disappears.
Looking at her, Leone let out a sigh inside her.
‘At first glance, she seems like a friendly saint… It’s awkward, it’s awkward.’
If he really liked people, he wouldn’t have such a sharp energy.
What Seria exudes is the spirit of an extremely well-captured talented person.
Those talented people smile on the outside, but on the inside, they continue to search for the other person.
You can tell by looking into the eyes. Even if the mouth smiles, the eyes do not smile.
And now Seria, she was searching for Leon without a break.
‘You’re a very tired woman in many ways.’
It was a wise choice to choose Enlil until the end.
Leone shook her head with her arms crossed.
*
I feel it once again. It was the best choice for her not to abandon Enlil.
Because it’s a fraudster and it’s a divine power, it’s said that the maintenance power is incomparably better.
The most necessary thing in the tower is, of course, the mana technique.
“Ummm… This is a bit difficult.”
Seria couldn’t accept that mana training method at all.
Actually, it is right to see this as a foreseeable situation.
When it comes to circulating mana, she has a ‘special constitution’ that is different from the others.
Unlike her cadets who only need to change one, Seria has to change two.
No, maybe more than one.
“If you don’t want to do it, take it right away. If the mana heart is damaged, she has a harder time recovering it.”
Perhaps because of her pride, she tries Seria one more time.
But it doesn’t take long before she curls up with a groan.
She has to move mana in a completely different way than she has ever used.
The stuffiness that comes from that. Or more, maybe you will have to endure the pain.
Now, no matter how you do it, it is completely impossible to use in real life.
“Okay… Cadets are doing this difficult thing. Instructor.”
“I am trying to. No one has even gotten close to the starting line yet.”
Sadly, that was the reality of the current Hero Academy.
Because one’s own will is more important than forceful injection.
Because mana moves more smoothly when you follow it with a willing heart.
I keep teaching only those candidates who wish to practice mana.
“… Kut!”
“Ah!”
The moaning and lamentation that erupted here and there was clear evidence that things were not going well.
“Except for Enlil.”
That’s why I don’t regret choosing Enlil over Seria or you.
I was breathing a sigh of relief inside, but Seria took up her posture again.
“You’d better rest. After that, calm down from the mana heart….”
“I will try a little more. I feel strangely competitive with Sister Enlil.”
“Hey. It’s not about her being competitive.”
“But sometimes that competitive spirit can act as a great catalyst for growth. Now I have the duty to destroy the tower, and I am one of the warrior candidates who will carry it as my destiny. I think I must have these feelings for that.”
As a ‘saint’ of the church, this is a mindset that should not be had at all.
However, it is a must-have attitude for a warrior who has to destroy the tower.
‘The other candidates lack that.’
Though he thought highly of Enlil and treated him as a warrior.
There is no one who shows her fierce competitiveness.
It is said that an excessive mind becomes poison, but isn’t poison sometimes also a medicine?
Not bad. That Enlil and her peers have such a heart.
If you become more earnest and burn more competitive spirit, wouldn’t it all benefit?
“… Then I will tell you properly again. Concentrate, start with breathing, and then—”
First of all, it seemed that Seria was definitely picked for the 2nd team.
