Student Council President Election (5)
The most important virtue for a wizard is to always maintain reason.
This is because magic and magical power do not always fit together like mathematical formulas.
You must always be cautious about consuming more magic power than necessary or using excessively high levels of magic power.
It’s a magic so vast that it doesn’t even match one’s level, so it’s meaningless because you can’t even imitate it.
However, using magic that is one level higher than your own is always dangerous.
This is because the flow of magical energy in the body interacts with it, so the magical energy is actually utilized.
Therefore, you must always be conscious of your own clear limits and avoid overdoing yourself by using more magical power than necessary.
Among them, the people you need to be especially careful of are spiritists.
The amount of magic consumed through spirits is overwhelmingly greater than that of other magic. However, the auxiliary magic called ‘Spirit Sensitivity’ only increases magical efficiency.
Therefore, a spiritist who has been trained beyond a certain level should never lose his temper.
I must clearly recognize my magic level and objectively judge how many spirits I can handle.
Yenica Palover also knew this very well.
However, knowing the facts and putting them into practice are completely different issues.
“… .what… What is that… !”
I think I have seen the scale of the magic circle blooming in the night sky before.
This is Yenica Palover, who can manipulate even high-ranking spirits at will. If she completely loses her mind, she has only one more spirit to summon.
Among the few high-ranking spirits, they are recognized as having the greatest power.
These are the highest-ranking spirits, with only one individual for each element.
For Yenika, who already had experience summoning the right arm of Glaskan, the highest-ranking dark spirit, the highest-ranking spirit’s summoning circle was not in the realm of ‘impossibility’.
Rather, it is Yenika who has reached a higher level after one year of training. For her, the level of her highest level spirit is just a dangerous area to reach out to, but it is not an area that is completely out of her reach.
Ironically, the summoning circle that blooms in the rainy sky is the exact opposite of the water element.
It is a summoning ceremony for ‘Theorpis’, the highest-ranking fire spirit who is said to have burned down the entire Apos Mountains during the mythical era.
The shape of the dragon, which was said to swing its tail bigger than the imperial castle and shoot out flames that burned the earth… It was a scene so magnificent that it was recorded in history books.
Glaskan sealed the entire huge teaching building with just his right arm.
It was clear that the moment Theorpis summoned even one arm, at least the entire northern forest would be engulfed in flames.
However, for Yenika now, such a future does not enter her mind.
The anger welling up to the tips of my head turns my gaze towards the murderer in front of me.
-Shoot!
-Whaaaaaaaa!
Rainy cliffs.
As he watched the magnificent magic circle fill the sky, Nox could not resist anything other than widening his eyes.
There was no need for the summoning ceremony of the highest spirit to deal with him who was completely incapable of fighting.
However, anger paralyzes reason.
The grief of someone who has lost a loved one completely robs them of their reason.
The pain of tearing flesh and piercing the heart is fair to everyone.
“you… I know what you did… .?”
Heat radiating from the summoning circle as red as the sun. The entire area above the sea began to be engulfed in water vapor.
It’s hard to believe, but the heat rising from the summoning circle evaporates all of the raindrops in the atmosphere before they even reach the ground.
Steam rising like fog covers the coast, pushing the girl’s angry expression into darkness.
Nox was finally able to fully realize his impending death. The killing intent is completely different from when Ed Rosstaylor approached.
It seemed obvious that one angry blow would kill him. That’s how noble the girl is… It was difficult to handle.
It was around the time when Nox was trying to accept his impending death.
– Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A strong wind blew away the fog in the area. The thing that blocked Nox’s path with a whistling sound was… It was a huge wolf made of wind.
-Buuuuuung!
The strong wind that rose around the wolf was imbued with powerful magical energy.
[Run away. ]
Nox has not the slightest sense of sensitivity to spirits. Nevertheless, the wolf’s voice was clearly heard.
[Run away without looking back, and report everything you saw and experienced. ] [Survive. You must survive. ]
Woo-woo, the sound of a wolf howling spread through the raindrops. A brief wave overflows, and all the summoning circles embodied by Yenika temporarily disappear.
“This.. this.. what the hell… Ugh… Ugh… !”
In the strong wind, Nox quickly came to his senses.
I don’t understand what’s happening at all, but what’s certain is that I have a chance to survive.
Nox quickly got up, picked up the unconscious Kadek, and ran out into the northern forest.
It happened in an instant.
“now… “What are you doing now, Merilda?”
[ Come to your senses, Yenika. I understand how you feel. ]
Yenica stood at the edge of the rainy cliff and looked straight down at Merilda.
And Merilda… She spoke slowly again to Yenica in a whisper.
[Take a deep breath and think slowly, Yenika.]
Merilda… I was reading Ed Rothtaylor’s intention completely.
Yenica’s pupils, which had been losing vitality at that fact, change direction.
“uh… uh..??”
Jenica, who opened her eyes to new possibilities, quickly looked down the cliff. The end of the distant cliff below is hard to see.
Then he looked back at Merilda, caught his breath, and quickly shouted for help.
* [Delheim Hourglass (Legendary)]
Returns the body’s state to a few seconds ago and removes all damage and wounds. Disposable.
[The Delheim hourglass has reached the end of its useful life. (Destruction judgment) ] [ Magic engineering proficiency increases by using legendary magic engineering supplies! ]
“Puh, uh huh…” Ugh… .!”
I barely made it through the waves and onto a side of the rocky area below the cliff.
I lay down, leaning against a nearby rock, and spit out salty sea water.
“big… Wow… Huh… !”
After coughing for a while and clearing the sea water, peace finally returned to my body.
“Whoa… Huh… . “You’re 100% sure to catch a cold.”
The curse of extreme poison flowing through his body disappeared, but the effect of the Delheim Hourglass did not even eliminate the stab wounds caused by the sword strike.
It was quite painful as the salt water seeped into the wounds, and I drank water in large quantities, and my body temperature dropped to normal.
Once I was able to move my body, the first thing to do was to return to camp and receive basic treatment. Of course, this is only when the body moves properly.
“I guess it was a bit reckless, but… At least this was okay… Phew… ”
The Delheim Hourglass is a legendary magic engineering item that was made using a full vacation.
Although it is a magical engineering product of a level that is so absurd that it should not exist at the time of Act 3, it is a treasure that was only able to be created after a lot of hard work.
I had no idea I would be writing this so quickly. It is very sad to think that that long time has disappeared in vain.
Still, the value of magic engineering supplies is that they are used in the right place… It would be better to use it when you can. If you have the materials and time, you can make other magical engineering supplies. It won’t be easy, though.
With this, Ed Rosstaylor becomes a ‘dead person’ for the time being.
Crepin Rosstaylor’s ‘causal confirmation’ magic is really tricky. Once you decide to kill Ed Rosstaylor, you will determine the future, even if it means spending a lot of magical energy, until you find the cause of that result.
so… If you want to escape from his interests, you need to ‘die’ first. This is because it is too cumbersome to deal with all the assassination methods of Crepin Rosstaylor, who are constantly coming in.
No matter how powerful the operation may be, dispatching personal personnel to Aken Island is prohibited by school regulations, so it is impossible to know the inside circumstances of the island. It’s not impossible if you try, but there’s no reason to go that far when you hear that he’s already dead.
In the first place, Ross Taylor Mansion and the Imperial Castle are extremely far away from Aken Island, so even if it is not a school rule, news is bound to be dull. In addition, Crepin is an influential member of the imperial family, so he is too busy to focus on this.
Kadec and Nox were probably dispatched to the academy under the pretext of temporarily assisting Tanya with external affairs.
That means that once Tanya’s important schedule is completed, she will have to leave Aken Island again.
“maybe… It will be after the student council president election is concluded and the seal negotiations are over… ”
The two will take place almost simultaneously, so it won’t be a very long period of time. At least it’s a few days.
If he remains dead until then, at least Crepin will not be aware of the existence of a living Ed on Aken Island. Although it may not be possible for a lifetime, it is easy for 1-2 years. As long as Tanya keeps her mouth shut.
And in about 1-2 years, it will be enough time for the Ross Taylor family to be destroyed.
“Ugh… still… Little by little, my body… Is it moving… ”
Little by little, I calmed down and tried to raise my upper body. Still, I feel like strength is coming back to my body as time goes on.
It might be a bit difficult to bring this body back to camp in the rain… Still, I can’t help it.
It was that time.
-Whaaaaaaaa!
“car… found… !”
It felt like I could feel the blazing heat. When I asked where the source of the heat was, it was right above my head.
“oh my god… ”
It was a spectacular sight to see a huge fire lizard hanging entirely from a cliff.
Needless to say, the girl who jumped from there was Yenika.
Yenika’s face running across the rocky area below the cliff… It was nice to see you for some reason.
“Wow… My whole body ached already and I was on the verge of death… I can’t believe you found this like this… !”
I smiled with gratitude and waved to Jenica.
It’s so reassuring to have a friend who helps you just right when you’re having a hard time and shows up when you need it.
First of all, I should explain the situation.
After contemplating where to begin, it was the moment when I was about to open my mouth.
Yenika ran to where I was and rushed towards me.
“Yeni… ”
-Whisk, wow!
Yenika fell to the floor with her arms wrapped around my neck… She buried her face in his shoulder and gave his arm a firm squeeze.
-Shoot!
Pouring spring rain.
Yenika, who crushed me and hugged me… Unlike usual, he didn’t say anything.
While contemplating what to say, all I could do was to hug Yenika’s back.
“It seems like they always make me worry. “I’m sorry, Yenika.”
I felt like Yenika’s head, buried in my shoulder, turned several times.
maybe… . It seemed like there was no voice coming out.
*
– Crack, crack.
For a wood that was wet with water, it burned fairly well. It seems to be the power of elemental magic.
cave… To say that is a bit poor. I sat down with Yenika in the hollow at the bottom of the cliff and summarized the whole situation.
“so… “Ed, in the end, it is advantageous in many ways to hold off until the election is over.”
“okay. I don’t want to tell Ross Taylor’s family about my survival. “If I can persuade Tanya well, I can at least not let my family know about my existence while I am attending this school.”
Rather, it means that it may be more comfortable to live inside Aken Island than to wander outside.
“therefore… You might need to stay hidden for a while. At least when Tanya’s vassals leave… “Until the student council president election is concluded.”
“Then, I will bring you daily necessities and various household tools. “Don’t worry too much, Ed.”
“okay… Thank you always, Yenika. But… The wound is slowly starting to hurt… ”
There is plenty of space near the crackling campfire.
However, Yenika had been holding me tightly around my neck ever since I was found at the bottom of the cliff.
I didn’t say anything else because I didn’t want to embarrass Yenika, but my physical condition was slowly reaching its limit.
Yenika took a deep breath, relaxed her arms, and… He took a deep breath and spoke.
“I-I’m sorry… I feel relieved because I’m holding Ed… ”
“… ”
“… .No, no, can you forget what I just said… ?”
“… ”
Yenika, wrapping her arms around her, was hugging her knees and huffing and puffing. I stopped breathing when I saw the tips of my ears turn red.
At first, I thought about saying something, but my wound started hurting again, so I gathered myself together first.
And then… I quietly looked outside the cave where it was raining.
It looks like the spring rain will continue for a while, but it doesn’t seem like it will last as long as the snow storms in winter or the rainy season in summer.
“yet… There’s some work left to do… ”
for now… I decided to wait for the rain to stop.
