I Became a Munchkin Spirit Sorcerer at the Academy

31 – Sunstone Fragment – 1

Harvey’s hospital room after leaving the academy.

Argyle stared at Zera, who was staring endlessly out the window with anxious eyes.

After losing the duel with Harvey, Zera lost something mentally.

The body inherited from the Hernández family recovered quickly, but the mind had already suffered significant damage.

As if he was possessed by something, as if he had seen a ghost, Zera didn’t say anything immediately after waking up and just looked out the window.

Like a patient who has just woken up from brain death, like a person who is just waiting for someone.

” …miss. “

Argyle opened his mouth softly towards Zera, who had become somewhat strange.

“…”

However, Zera just stared out the window without any response.

Argyle was resentful of Harvey, who created this division.

The man who was said to be her fiancé tarnished the young lady’s reputation, and the young lady tried to keep Harvey’s reputation from being damaged behind the scenes for Harvey’s sake.

All that comes back is cold cynicism and mental wounds.

What is the young lady thinking now? Only this question filled Argyle’s mind.

I wish you could at least give me an answer…

“…Harvey you…”

I wanted to run outside right away, grab Harvey by the collar, and rob him.

The Hernández family was no longer involved in the affair.

The dean’s quick action not only followed the regulations, but also had to keep in mind the Artur family.

Moreover, it was because he did not want anyone to know that Gera Hernández lost the duel with Artur’s bastard Harvey.

Most of the academy’s students knew about the duel, but Hernández did not want the story to leak outside the academy.

If the students had their own thoughts, they would not dare to reveal their stories to the outside world.

To that extent, in a situation where interests were intertwined, it was as if Jera had been abandoned.

Hernández’s family head, Zera’s father, loved Zera very much, but not in comparison to the reputation and reputation of the family.

If you are in a public position and the head of the family, you have to act befitting your position.

“Miss, you need to eat something. You need to eat and gain strength.”

“…Argyle.”

At that time, Zera’s head slowly turned, and then she stared at Argyle with blurry eyes.

Instead of his usual energetic appearance, he looked like a loser.

However, Argyle was in no position to choose this or that.

Argyle was happy just because the young lady had called him, like a child who had received an unexpected gift.

“Yes, miss! Say it!”

“Have you ever experienced a wall you couldn’t overcome?”

” …yes? “

“It’s an insurmountable wall, a wall that no matter what you do or how hard you try, you can’t catch up.”

“…”

Argyle couldn’t say anything at Zera’s words.

Because I too have encountered such a wall.

Because I knew what kind of emotions such a feeling brings.

Argyle just couldn’t say anything.

“I saw that wall in Harvey. A wall that I couldn’t overcome no matter how hard I tried. And I realized that no matter what I did, I couldn’t beat that guy.”

” miss. “

“Have you ever experienced something like that, Argyle? Originally… I wanted to solve it on my own, but it didn’t work out. So… I just…”

After saying those words, Zera keeps her mouth shut.

Zera, with her head down between her knees, seemed to be waiting for Argyle’s answer, looking like a baby bird.

Hair all loose, eyes that are blurry rather than clear and strong.

As if possessed by something, Argyle opened his mouth towards Zera.

“In my case, it was a wall that the matriarch could not overcome.”

” …father? “

Zera slowly raises her head when the head of the family, her father, is mentioned.

The eyes were still gray, but there was a hidden curiosity.

“Yes, when I first became a knight and was ordained, I saw the matriarch for the first time. And I realized right then and there that no matter what I did, I would never be able to defeat the matriarch…”

” and? “

“So I admitted it. Instead, I tried to work harder than that person.”

“…”

“When you hit a wall, there are two types of people: either you give in or you don’t give in and you work hard. I hope you choose the latter.”

” …huh. “

Argyle chose the hard work path.

I wanted to be proud of myself and at least have no regrets.

So I swung my sword.

For a life without shame.

And this time, I opened my mouth to give advice to Zera, not as Zera’s escort, but as a senior in life who faced the wall first.

“Don’t stop and keep going. Swing your sword, wipe off your sweat, and practice with the intention of one day cutting down the entire wall.”

“…Yes, I will try my best.”

Zera clenches her fist and ruminates on the feeling of touching the sword.

The pinnacle of Hernández’s swordsmanship and swordsmanship are all at your fingertips.

So, all you have to do is make an effort yourself.

Harvey, who instilled humiliation and fear in himself.

To get revenge on that man, to cut down the man covered in black flame.

Zera decided to stand up again.

“Argyle.”

“Yes, miss.”

“Please bring me food.”

” yes! “

A body with no strength.

A body unsuited to the son of a master swordsman.

Clatter, rattle!

Crunch!

When Argyle brought the porridge, Zera immediately picked up a spoon and started eating it.

It was just white porridge without any seasoning.

Zera eagerly began to scoop it up with a spoon.

“Wow…”

The sudden entry of food into the throat caused a rejection reaction in the body.

Zera poured the food in without hesitation.

“Ah…Gail…”

“Yes, miss.”

“I… wow… I’m definitely going to win… against that bastard… I’m going to become so strong… I’m going to definitely win against that guy…”

Jera is holding back nausea while shedding tears.

Argyle was so sad to see Zera that he just swallowed his saliva.

“Harvey…!”

Zera’s shout filled the room.

Clatter, rattle.

Only the violent sound of the bowl filled the ears of those listening.

Zera used his anger as fuel to hate Harvey, and from now on, he will walk a harsh path as a swordsman.

***********************************

Crook clunk.

“The wind is bitter.”

The eastern end of the kingdom, the port city of Arteil.

A big city where all kinds of goods and people come and go.

It is lined with seagulls, large fleets, and lighthouses and magic towers rising high into the sky.

The largest city in the East, where you can see unique scenery.

There, Harvey was looking out at the distant sea, taking in the scenery.

For Harvey, who had never seen the sea before being possessed, just looking at the sea gave him an inexplicable sense of mystery and stability.

Let’s go!

Seagulls flew near the ground to steal fish from fishermen, and thief cats were also hiding behind anglers, waiting for an opportunity.

Opportunity, a city of opportunity.

With those who want to make a big deal through trade.

Fraudsters flock here and there to deceive such people.

And the merchants who realistically rule this city.

It was a golden city created by a combination of various circumstances and stories.

“What are you doing here, uhm?”

A thin finger touches Harvey’s shoulder.

A beauty that would make a passing artist, if he or she saw it, ask him to paint her.

Black hair blowing in the moisture-laden sea breeze comes into Harvey’s field of vision.

Shining yellow eyes, and jugs filled with both hands.

“What did you buy like that?”

“They were buying various things nearby. So I bought a lot.”

The three-legged crow showed off the jujeonbeaks he was holding in both hands, as if showing off.

“Now, would you like to eat too?”

“It’s okay, we can eat later.”

“You’re strict, you’re a boring man. There are so many delicious things to eat, but you don’t give in to temptation.”

Wow.

The three-legged crow frowned after taking a mouthful of biscuits.

For her, who had been trapped in the Fall Valley for thousands of years, everything about this unfamiliar world was just amazing.

People walking on the roadside, huge ships, and fragrant food that tickles your nose.

For a three-legged crow who had lived his whole life eating only rotten corpses and hungry ghosts… this place was like paradise.

“More than that…are you saying that there are sunstone fragments in this place?”

“To be exact, the Teyang Stone fragment is scheduled to come here.”

“Are you planning on coming?”

“I received information that a fragment of the Sunstone will be found in the underground auction house tonight.”

“Underground auction house…!”

At the mention of an underground auction house, the three-legged crow’s eyes sparkle and he looks somewhat excited.

Apparently, the three-legged crow was interested in everything in this world.

“This is confiscated.”

“What are you doing? My wife’s precious daily bread.”

Harvey takes away all the snacks that were packed in the three-legged crow’s arms.

The three-legged crow expressed dissatisfaction with Harvey’s actions.

“I’m going to run out of time while eating this. I need to start preparing to enter the underground auction house. Aren’t you going to look for the sunstone fragments?”

“…I can’t help it.”

The three-legged crow accepts Harvey’s irrationality as if there is nothing he can do about the sunstone fragment.

As Harvey said, finding the sunstone fragments was the top priority, so there was nothing we could do.

“More than that, what happened to the person you wanted to meet?”

“We will meet on our own.”

“Only by itself?”

“Drunkards don’t go anywhere.”

” ?? “

Although it was a three-legged crow that tilted its head and expressed doubt at Harvey’s remarks.

Harvey just smiled and walked towards the center of the street.

“Let’s go together!”

“If you don’t follow quickly, you will be lost.”

A three-legged crow that follows Harvey.

Arteil, a foreign city filled with people.

Harvey was about to have a big game here.
