– Kaang!
A large lioness’s tusk flies out and gets stuck in the blade of the dagger held in reverse. I try to wiggle and compete with my strength, but of course I am inferior.
It was obvious that she would be pushed away if she continued like this, so she changed her center of gravity and swept away the lioness’s body.
-Paaah!
The body of the lioness that hit the ground is made of water.
When it roared and charged at me with its direction changed, I quickly ducked down. The lion’s paw passes by where my upper body was just moments ago.
Then, for a moment, a gap appears where the lion’s center is tilted. I pushed off the ground with my two strong legs and gave strength to my body. When I push the lion’s side with my shoulder, it is pushed away with a squeak.
However, there is no way that a lioness of that size could be subdued by attacking her with her body. Where the lioness, who landed on the ground again, is headed… It wasn’t anywhere else, it was the ocean where the waves were crashing.
Among the rocky areas where you have to climb down a cliff, the terrain is relatively flat. Since it is a place where waves crash, virtually everything around is like the sea.
So the lioness jumped into the water. Originally, the large body should have fallen into the deep sea with a splashing sound, but in reality, there was no splashing or splashing sound and the body did not fall into the sea.
This rocky area was always filled with water due to periodic waves.
The shape of a lioness, who magically disappeared into the sea, soon pops out from a puddle on the other side.
Once again, it attacked my back with a loud roar that overwhelmed the surroundings, but I somehow managed to block its claws by bending the hand holding the dagger.
The lion throws its body backwards again and continues to disappear into the water.
The pressure of not knowing which direction something will come out of continues to stimulate my nervousness.
– Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!
I don’t know how many attacks and defenses went back and forth like that, but my spirit sensitivity was also starting to suffer.
[ Leave it at this, Master Ed. ]
A low female voice. It was Lacia’s voice.
I can’t even remember how much money I exchanged with Lacia. Her entire body was covered in sweat, so she took off her top and threw it away. Since the waves would hit at any opportunity anyway, it was better to take off my top.
I sat down on the nearby rock, catching my rushing breath.
[ indeed! You showed incredible quickness and coping skills! I was impressed with this fire candle mug! ]
Mug, flapping his wings and making a fuss as always, was burning next to the rock.
Lacia returned to the surrounding area with a splash of water and lay down with her head on her feet.
[For a wizard, it certainly seems like your melee response skills have improved. It looks like you’ve been training for quite some time. ]
I wiped away the sweat that had gathered and straightened myself.
Lieutenant Water Spirit Lacia was a pretty good sparring partner.
Unlike Mug, who is too small to allow for sparring, or Merilda, who is too big and strong to compete with, it is just the right size.
Of course, if you decide to engage in a bloody fight, you won’t be able to beat the middle-ranking spirit in close combat, but it is possible for them to engage in a moderate amount of fighting with each other. Rather, it feels a bit intense, so it feels like more training.
Originally, the intensity of the training should be at a level that is slightly burdensome to handle.
[If you train some intermediate magic and make your training more systematic in terms of close combat… I think it would be a good idea to spar with Merilda. Unlike me, it will be a great help in many ways. ]
“… How do you spar with a wolf the size of a house? “One blind kick can take you straight to the nether.”
[Hehe, it’s okay. Master Ed. A high-ranking spirit with outstanding abilities, such as Merilda, can freely change its form. It is not that difficult to change into a form optimized for sparring with Master Ed. ]
Once my breathing had stabilized and my sweat had dried, I stood up from the rock again. After bending my arms a few times, I got down on the floor and started doing push-ups.
In any case, you cannot properly take magic classes during the seclusion period. Since there is so much time left, there is a need to at least train your body.
My body moves closer and further to the floor several times with the sound of out of breath.
“Whoop, whoop…” Still, if you’re going to spar with that guy, you’ll probably need to get a little stronger. No, in the first place, he is so sneaky that I don’t know when he will show up.”
[That’s right. Merylda seems to travel not only to the North Forest but also to the entire Aken Island. In fact, he is like an elder of the Northern Forest, and sometimes appears in the teaching or living quarters… Sometimes, when I have errands to run, it’s really difficult. ]
“What are you going there for?”
[Aren’t you really interested in human civilization? There are many cases where people show curiosity about books written by humans, various food cultures, and lifestyles. You go out to directly observe things, borrow books as a guest at the library, or go out to see scenery, etc. ]
Actually, I guess that’s why I was able to become friends with Yenika so quickly.
With that in mind, I continued to strain my trembling arms and core muscles.
Then I lost all my strength and fell down, looking at my face reflected in the puddle of water around me.
[ Name : Ed Rosstaylor ]
Gender: Male Age: 18 Grade: 3 Race: Human Achievements: Precise Survivalist (1 year) / High-ranking Spirit Summoner Stamina 14, Intelligence 13, Dexterity 15, Willpower 12, Luck 11, Combat Ability Details>> Magic Ability Details>> Life skills details>> Alchemy skills details>> I should say that it makes me feel happy to look at it, as if it were a monumental tower built by myself. It has risen to the upper-middle level of the player specifications.
When I think about my stats when I started, raising them to this level in just over a year was a truly incredible level of progress. I had some idea of the player’s growth curve, so I was in a somewhat advantageous position.
The closer each stat value is to 20, the slower the development becomes, and in many cases, you have to clear hidden quests in your late teens to change your stats. Considering that… As for the specifications that I, as a non-main character, can possess, I am slowly approaching the upper limit.
In order to break through that line, a clear trigger was needed.
Of course… right now, it was more important to achieve more progress in the field of magic than to do that. It was time to finally finish that bastard’s long-cherished project, learning lieutenant magic.
‘okay… I can’t be satisfied and end it here… ‘
While repeating that, I quickly raised my upper body.
“oh.”
There was a girl with a sinister smile like a fox sitting on the rock where I had been sitting just a moment ago.
I don’t know when it came, but… The hair pulled down to one side and the deep robe are the same as always.
“I was having a good time with my eyesight.”
Only then did the direction in which Lortel looked at me become clear.
Since I had completely taken off my top, I was half naked.
*
“It’s important to rest when you have time to rest. “There is no cure for training addiction.”
Lortel was wiping off the sweat with a dry towel while grinning.
In any case, Lortel was just as new to the world as Merilda, so it wasn’t strange whenever and wherever she appeared.
“Still, you came all the way to this cliff area and stayed in seclusion…” “You must be very frustrated, senior.”
“Once I got used to it, I got by with it. “Actually, it feels like it’s more relaxed compared to the forest.”
“Oh my, is that so?”
“Basic things like food, clothing, and shelter are all handled with help.”
“Senior Yenika?”
“Mostly yes.”
“Hmm~.”
Lortel stretched out his words and smiled meaningfully, then gathered some magical power and looked around.
“I guess you were training with the spirits?”
“… “Don’t you have almost no sense of spirit?”
“Well, that’s right. “But I saw Ed from afar.”
Then he grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear.
“Then the spirits will all be watching.”
A sinister smile. It’s as if he’s enjoying this situation itself.
I lowered my gaze and looked at Mug and Lacia.
Lacia, who always has a polite demeanor, was shaking her head, and Mug was saying aaaaaah! It was screaming and burning. No matter what he does, he always makes a fuss, so I’m not surprised anymore.
Lortel lifted my arm and spoke in a calm voice.
“As I said, I plan to visit Princess Fenia today. “I thought I’d think about some things about Tanya and also talk about the election.”
“election? “You mean the student council president election?”
“yes. Looking at it, I can think of a number that would be worth a few gold coins.”
As I stared at him with distrustful eyes, Lortel smiled innocently and leaned his head on my shoulder.
She is a girl who does not miss any opportunity to make money, even in the smallest of niches, so even in this chaotic world, there seems to be a gold mine that only she can see.
“Besides, there are some things I want to tell and discuss with my senior before I go to the royal residence.”
“I can roughly guess what it is.”
“First of all, it’s easy to release the two knights, Kadec and Nox, that you mentioned. “If you leave Aken Island, you’ll never come back anyway, so we can just use someone to sneak you out.”
It won’t be easy to let him escape secretly, but Lortel’s dark smile shows a certain kind of confidence.
“There will never be another election period as chaotic as now. “The investigation into Senior Ed’s murder is still ongoing, and Ofilis Hall is not in good condition, and you still have to keep up with your academic schedule, right?”
“yes.”
“The more chaotic the situation is, the more gaps there are. In the end, a bachelor group is also a small society created by people, right? Negotiation, cajoling, encouraging betrayal, bribery, kidnapping. “The methods are endless.”
“… ”
“Of course, I won’t use methods that might make Senior Ed uncomfortable, but at least it’s not free, right? “We’ll have to wait and see what the exact price will be, but assuming we get at least a down payment first~”
Then he turned his head, which was resting on his shoulder, and placed his chin on it… He speaks with a big smile on his face.
“Would you like to give me a hug?”
The reason I gasp and take my breath away is because, first of all, I am also a man.
After staring at each other blankly for a moment, I thought it might be okay, so I boldly spread my arms… Lortel pushes his tiny body into it.
However, the thing that pushed into my chest with a gasping sound… It was Lortel himself.
“Oh, no, just a moment, senior.”
“W-what are you doing… ?”
“Originally, something like this… Offense and defense are separate things. “I’m a little embarrassed too.”
Whenever he got his own way, this time he found himself blushing.
“It feels so different from when I imagined it three or four times before I came.”
“… ”
“No, in the first place, why are you taking your top off? You’re making my head bleed for no reason.”
“… If you do that, what will become of me? ”
In the first place, Lortel’s reaction was very difficult to adapt to.
When Jenika spends time together, she feels at ease, as if she is back at home. In the first place, the lively girl has a unique power to make people around her feel comfortable.
However, Lortel always hides her sinister intentions and then makes a girlish expression, which often confuses those who deal with her. She doesn’t know which beat she should respond to.
“Please keep in mind that this side is also walking its own tightrope inside, or something like that. “It’s not polite to let your guard down and then sneak in.”
“Who on earth got caught in it?… ? “I’m just doing whatever you want, right now.”
“Well, that’s true, but… ”
Lortel lowered his gaze for a moment, then slowly crawled back into my arms.
Leaning my small body into my arms… Only then did I let go of the weight of my body, as if the tension was relieved.
A demon of gold that swept through the capital as the head of the Elte Company. She was a girl of such influence that it could be said that the weight of her name alone shook the earth with every step she took.
In fact, the body is as light as a feather, so even if I lie down and completely bury myself in the chest, my body doesn’t even move.
If you look at all people, this is usually the case.
Even people who seem so dignified and serious that you wonder if they are of the same race, in the end, when you put everything aside and look at them, they are just the same human being. The time when you realize that fact the most is when you come face to face with the person in person.
“Actually. “I came because I wanted to hear the answer in advance.”
Maybe he felt like getting to the point after he was in my arms, but he erased his sinister smile and asked me directly without even raising his eyebrows like a fox.
“Do you remember the promise you made last time?”
“… ”
“I’m asking you to listen to my side at least once.”
I remember talking while looking up at the low moon by the river in the frozen northern forest during a snowy winter.
“I think I’ll have a lot of enemies. Even if you turn the entire university into enemies… “I hope you remain as my ally at least as much as you.”
“You are planning something.”
Lortel lifts his head from his embrace, makes eye contact with me, and smiles again.
“I just don’t want to be enemies with you.”
And then he speaks.
“I’m going to sell my position as student council president.”
Since ancient times, merchants were people who knew how to sell anything that made money.

“It is said that the basic restoration of Ofilis Hall has been completed. The scale of destruction is not that large. It can be called repair work, but most of it is said to be carried out in the line of simple repair work. “Facility operations have already normalized.”
“is that so. Then, you can continue to use Ofilis Hall without any problems.”
“If there is nothing wrong with the room, you can do as you please.”
Kylie Ekne, a girl with flowing chestnut hair and neatly dressed in a school uniform, said hello to the bachelor’s reception staff and left the Trix building.
The spring sky is as high as the fall sky. The sun’s rays, cast across the clear, straight sky, stimulate your eyes from time to time.
These are the eyes of a young saint who still finds everything in the world fascinating. Even the light of this sky that I look up at alone from outside… It is completely different from looking up through the tightly closed windows of Seonghwangdo.
I made quite a few friends, people I respected, and professors I could trust and follow.
When I return to my lodgings after finishing my day’s work, I don’t have to preside over all the prayer services as a saint, and no one comes to me to confess whenever I can… I wonder if this is the taste of freedom.
Kylie sat on a nearby wooden bench and quietly enjoyed the cool spring breeze for a moment.
‘I have to live every day with value… ! I don’t know when a time like this will come again in my life… !’
Kylie clenched her fists and strengthened her body… After a while, I sighed and relaxed my body again.
Even though I try to cheer myself up, the atmosphere at the university has been gloomy lately.
I remember the image of a third-year senior trembling and looking up from his cabin during a winter snowstorm.
Freedom is light yet heavy. You should not expect a magical, romantic journey that you only see in adventure fairy tales.
Bloody chunks of meat and animal skins, brown hunting tools, and cold log floors. The man who was sitting on a chair in the gap, looking down at the girl in the dark… It definitely left a strong mark on Kylie’s memory.
It was quite a shock to the girl to see that face in the bachelor’s newsletter announcing the news of his death… Tanya, the first friend I made after coming to this college, is pointed out as a suspect and goes missing… She couldn’t even imagine it.
Since the world is so turbulent, it is very different from the world seen from Seonghwangdo, which was always calm and quiet.
I felt so gloomy that I felt intimidated for a moment…
“still… I can’t just stay depressed… !”
Kylie once again held her strength in both hands and composed herself.
It was a shame, but there was nothing Kylie could do about it.
Even just keeping up with my studies is already difficult. In addition, you need to meet as many people as possible, make as many friends, and gain a variety of experiences to live a brilliant bachelor’s life.
Kylie thought that and stood up. She was thinking of going back to the dormitory for now, but…
“~~~ ♪ ♬ ♪”
Passing in front of the bench where Kylie was sitting, a girl who gave off a strange feeling passed by, humming.
The first thing that occurred to me was that the gait looked strange. It was a light and gentle step, as if riding the flowing wind. At first glance, it appears to be semi-weightless.
‘Yes, he is a pretty person…’ ‘
Her pure white hair was tied back like a horse’s tail. Her hair sways gently as she walks briskly.
However, the outfit is strange.
Anyone can see that she is a lively girl of her age who looks like a student.
However, the sight of her wearing only a pure white dress that exposed her shoulders with thin straps… By all appearances, he is not a student.
However, they don’t look like faculty members, and they don’t look like they’re doing much work as if they were outsiders.
Contrary to her bold appearance, the girl is holding a lot of books in one arm. The thickness and material of each book is different, and the content is also completely different. Art, history, magic, great people, economics, philosophy… She has a lively appearance, but is she actually a very knowledgeable girl?
Kylie started to get curious. Above all else, one of her biggest goals is to make as many friends as possible.
Since today’s class schedule was finished anyway, Kylie nodded once and decided to talk to her.
However, the white-haired girl walks so quickly… It’s not easy to keep up.
Although she was humming lightly and not even out of breath, it was a speed that Kylie’s weak body could not easily keep up with.
Kylie felt even more amazed and tried to somehow follow the girl… She had reached the entrance to the northern forest.
It was then that I felt something strange.
*
“Oh oh… !”
Lucy, who was lying on the bed and fiddling with the pillow, was inwardly impressed.
If you shape the pillow nicely and stand it up properly… . You can also stand this soft pillow vertically… !
I had no idea… ! It is the great discovery of the century… !
“… ”
Feeling a sudden sense of desperation, Lucy buried herself in bed again.
Lucy, who doesn’t even eat three meals a day… He had no idea how many days had passed by now. Still, I endured quite a long period of time, so I guess five days had passed.
“Hey… There are roughly a few days left… ?”
Maids rotate at 4-hour intervals and are closely monitored 24 hours a day.
The maid currently on duty, who was watching with a grin, answered kindly.
“You have 646 hours left.”
Time remaining… D-27… !
“Oh right. I found out that the probation disciplinary plan was passed yesterday. It seems like it didn’t pass right away on the same day and was delayed a bit. Administrative processing is always like that. so… “I’m sorry, but I think we should use yesterday as a starting point and start counting the days.”
“… … … .”
D?29… !!
