chapter 39
39 – Teacher and Disciple
Rion showed a positive attitude, and soon after, Chief Instructor Edmund would have agreed.
Enlil busily moved to the training ground where Seria was to be.
Every landscape looks different today. It feels very fiery.
The walls of the academy felt a bit stuffy, and the pillars were a bit worn out.
The tired mind knowingly and unknowingly living the same routine every day has become a thing of yesterday.
Even Enlil knows. What situation is Leon currently in?
Seria is not the only one who hears news of the situation outside.
“As the saintess returned to life, more and more people said that instructor Leone should be attached exclusively.”
The moment I heard that, I couldn’t help but frown.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in yourself. Don’t expect more, that’s okay.
This is something I had already expected. I understand that you are a warrior who has failed more than ten times.
But I don’t like trying to take something shiny from myself.
I use that light as a milestone and move forward once more, so why are you taking it?
It was even more inconvenient to give it to a hero who was resurrected from the tower like himself.
That person only wants you to be with him.
The only person who understood the pain during the lonely and difficult times.
Fight well, save the world, I’m not saying that, come back alive. He was the one who said things he hadn’t even thought of himself.
So Enlil came up with a trick. That was her demand to teach Seria herself.
The reason was a very good one. The logic that if she teaches others, I can grow too.
So Leon, Chief Instructor Edmund, and even Seria agreed.
She probably thinks that she did it in order to grow up one more level.
Of course, that part is missing, but Enlil wanted something else.
‘Now the instructor won’t feel any more uncomfortable because of the saintess.’
It is not Leon who teaches Seria, but she herself.
Then she doesn’t have to devote more of her time to her than before.
You can stick with Leon more for the sake of teaching.
If there is any progress, Lyon will be happy too, so that’s not a bad thing either.
Thinking that he must have used his brain very well, Enlil approached the training ground.
“Sister Enlil.”
There, Seria, who had already changed into her training uniform, was standing there waiting.
“Are you up early?”
“Yes. Originally, when I was training with Instructor Leon, I always came out at this time.”
Flinching―
Enlil’s hand trembled when the name of Leon suddenly came up.
From Seria’s point of view, it was just to explain why she came out early.
Even Enlil knows. Yes, I know, but why is it so inconvenient?
Obviously, that woman did nothing wrong, but if she did, she would be someone who doesn’t know the situation.
In the end, the only thing I can see is that woman, so I keep having negative thoughts.
As a cause she keeps trying to keep that shiny person away from me.
“… Shall we start right away?”
I’m afraid that I’ll do something rude while chatting.
Let’s quickly move on to talking about training, and Seria nods her head.
“Hmm. Then, can I just do what I normally do?”
“If you say, as usual….”
“The way I used to work with Instructor Leone. I was doing that until two days ago.”
At that, Enlil nodded her head as if to see her.
With her permission granted, Seria untied her sword from her waist.
Then she immediately took off her coat and followed her up to her bottoms.
“No, wait! Now, wait a minute?!”
“Yes?”
“Ji, what are you doing?! Oh, why are you taking off your clothes!”
In an urgent tone, Enlil stopped the saintess who was undressing.
However, the reaction of Seria, who returned next time, was even more unexpected.
“Didn’t her sister tell me to do what she was reporting?”
“That, was it?”
“Did I do this two days ago, when I was with Instructor Leone?”
It was Seria who was blinking only her eyes as if there was something wrong.
Thanks to that, Enlil’s head became chaos itself.
‘What the hell did you do?!’
Enlil’s face turned red as if it would explode at any moment.
Seria, who was looking at her like that, then ah! She did and she exclaimed.
“I’m sorry, sister. I showed you the action without any explanation.”
“Explanation… ?”
“That’s how it happened.”
Perhaps, before Enlil’s misunderstanding deepened, Seria explained the situation.
Because of her unusual constitution, she had not heard of her existing mana practice method. She
She says that she is doing this and that transformation, but since everyone needs to maximize the mana circulation, she is inevitably expanding the skin area to the maximum.
“… So, since she circulates mana not only through breathing, but also through her skin, she must have become that kind of outfit to learn the mana practice method that suits her unique constitution.”
“Yes. At first, Instructor Leone was a bit taken aback, but he soon got used to it.”
I was a little taken aback. But she soon got used to it. Even when I feel safe, I feel anxious again.
She wouldn’t react like that if she wasn’t interested.
If you have adapted, that will be the standard and you will be compared with others.
Looking at it like this, Seria’s body was very strong without any flab.
She has never dated her opposite s*x, but Enlil knows a little about her relationship with men and women.
Both men and women have a high affinity for the body of the opposite s*x.
There are things she likes, and there are parts that appeal to her. Everyone is like that.
‘It’s not like the instructor kept looking at that body of the saintess.’
It is a look that every man should look back on at least once.
It’s beautiful. It comes to me even more because I know a woman’s body well.
If there is one comfort, it is the scars all over the body. She
She is an injured Seria who is more than herself and never less than herself.
It may sound rude, but it was hard to see the body of a normal person.
Her skin color, which was supposed to look pure white, was distorted by her scars.
“If you don’t like the look, you can wear thin clothes.”
Seria, who was watching Enlil’s eyes, pointed to a corner of her training ground.
Apparently she thought that Enlil was surprised by the scars all over her body.
“… No. Are you okay. It’s not ugly. I have a lot of scars like that.”
I suddenly feel lucky. Because I’m less than that woman.
It’s the first time I’ve ever had something like this, but I thought it was stupid, but it soon disappeared.
On the contrary, the nonsense of thanking the owner of the tower for the first time came up.
If he had played with himself more harshly, it would have been as devastating as Seria.
“Is that so? My sisters and I have many similarities. Being alive in the tower, learning how to practice mana directly from Instructor Leone, and living with all kinds of scars.”
“It seems the saintess is right.”
“Whoops. Now, can we continue like this?”
At Seria’s question, Enlil nodded her head and sat slowly behind her.
First of all, you need to understand the flow of mana. Only then can you point the way.
Just as Leon did for himself, he must now do for Seria.
“I heard the story.”
As Enlil’s hand touched my back, Seria opened her mouth again.
“That the mana practice method was modified to suit her sister’s constitution. It’s not an easy task, but I succeeded. You’re amazing. Instructor Leone also said it was very difficult.”
“It was difficult. But I had to do it.”
“To defeat the owner of the tower?”
“Yes.”
And to return alive, as the person wants.
If this is the end, I came back without even saying goodbye, so I had a little regret.
It was as if a miracle had come true as those desperate things overlapped and overlapped.
“… There is nothing wrong with Instructor Leone’s words.”
Enlil looked at Seria’s mana flow for a while and let out a sigh.
This is the first time. It is more difficult than any flow of mana I have ever seen.
Not only through breathing, but also through the skin. No, it’s because I tend to rely more on my skin, so it’s completely different from the mana flow of others. I’m not sure where to start.
If the original mana flow is a stream of water falling from a high place to a low place.
What I felt from Seria right now was similar to having a regurgitation.
“How have you approached it so far?”
“There were many things. Rather than relying on the skin, some put more weight on breathing, and on the other hand, I tried to circulate mana using the skin to the extreme. Relatively lack of mana, or place where mana is more plentiful, I tried everything, but it was blocked right away.”
Taking his hand away, Enlil touched my lips and was troubled.
He said that he would try it once, and it took a long time, but I really can’t see the answer.
It’s not just a difficult level, I don’t even know how to approach it.
It would be nice if you could see at least a vague direction in which to go.
You don’t have to produce results, but it’s good to do so.
No. Perhaps she herself must perform.
Otherwise, Leone will be in charge of Seria again.
It wasn’t a pleasant thing to use her saintess as an excuse to want to be with that person even a little longer.
‘… Wait for a sec.’
Just as the nervousness is about to raise its head, something flashes through Enlil’s mind.
Aren’t all the ways Rion has been with Seria up until now been ‘that way’?
“Saint?”
“Yes. Please speak.”
“Wait a minute. I have something to go and get.”
Suddenly swish somewhere! And Enlil running away.
Thanks to that, Seria, who was left alone, had an expression of ‘what is this?’
And after a while.
“I’m here!”
Enlil returned to the training ground again.
He was carrying an armful of thick-looking clothes in his arms.
