by fnovelpiaWhen you think of Xeorp Academy, the first thing that comes to mind is its reputation as the best academy in the empire.
And the second thing that attracts attention is the largest size of the empire. Since its construction, Geoff has been repeatedly expanded and expanded to the size of a mountain.
It was also the factor that allowed Antonio to naturally appear in Geoff. It was not that uncommon for nobles to visit Geoff’s building.
Therefore, it is the capital of the empire. Although it was located in the land of golden sand, there were several places inside Xeorp that were untouched by human hands, lush green, and quiet. It was one of those places where Benny summoned El.
Although there are usually few people around, it is a place that students occasionally use as a confessional spot thanks to the quiet atmosphere and background music played by grass bugs.
“ came. Benny.”
“···What is it? Why did the guy next to me wear it?”
“Weren’t you told to come alone? And, strictly speaking, doesn’t our junior also have karma? How about neatly apologizing to both me and your junior?”
“Hmm. Uh…”
“······.”
Sarah. I heard the sound of grass rubbing against something. It was a friction sound coming from the ankle-high grass that had not been maintained. But Revan was not surprised. I felt like I was popular from a while ago.
“Hmm. This is unexpected.”
Movement as natural as the wind passing by. It was Antonio.
“Hey Benny? Obviously L. I think I told you to call that young lady.”
“Well, I only called L! But that guy Revan suddenly-”
“Hmm. I can’t even do what I’m told. You seem like a bitch.”
“···Yes?”
ha. Antonio put his hand on his forehead and shook his head. Evil- Revan began rotating the mana core.
“What’s going on?”
Benny clearly said he called L to apologize. But now, Antonio was standing next to Benny. It was a situation that even a three-year-old child would consider strange.
“······.”
And El was equally displeased with this situation. His eyes, which had been shining golden as usual, calmed down and began to examine the surrounding situation.
“Tsk.”
Antonio clicked his tongue and thought. Should work proceed as planned? Or should I give up?
If you turn now, bite the personnel, and leave Xeorp, there will be no major repercussions. Well, no matter who thought it was a suspicious act, there were no victims in the end.
However, it was natural that seeing my younger brother’s distorted face would be a long way off. Antonio must return to the estate sooner or later. It would be several months before she could reach out to Revan again, and there was no way Arrieta would not do anything during that time.
“Well, even if you can’t eat it, you should try it.”
Sigh! Antonio snapped his fingers. At the signal, masked dolls began to emerge from the surrounding bushes. They were members of the Black Snake, whose leader’s head was hung.
“Originally, the goal was to capture that woman named Elle alive… but now it doesn’t really matter. Kill them both. If you try to capture him alive, things could get worse.”
“Oh, you’re Antonio? What does it mean to kill-”
“Ah. Once those two are finished, kill this girl named Benny. I think I can resolve the issue of Bismuth’s matriarch through conversation. Even so, he is also a commoner.”
“······Yes?”
Sreung. A flowing wave-like light emerged from Antonio’s scabbard. It was a sword owned by the Wetzler family that only the head of the family could draw.
“Revan You know all the information about that guy, right? This is a guy who can’t exert his full power for long periods of time. We cut off the path back to the academy building and go to the war of attrition. I’ll finish it…”
In some ways, it was a naive strategy that left out only the key points. However, the Black Snake members rushed towards Revan and El without saying anything. Not only was the leader’s life held hostage, but it was also true that Antonio was best suited to end Revan’s life.
“Hit them all at once! We need to force that guy to use body enhancement!”
Anger – Revan stretched his hand into the air and pulled out a black Harvard. The familiar feeling of holding it in your hand. It was Babieka.
“···Phew.”
However, the weight was not the same as usual. Without using physical enhancements, Babieka was limited to swinging normally. There was no way those guys couldn’t avoid a cut that didn’t require much skill.
“······.”
Evil – Mana began to pulsate from El’s fingertips as she faced the flood of masks. The posture with the fist forward showed a strong will to fight.
“Escape is-”
“No. Can’t you see your junior too? Those monsters are pretty strong and fast. Above all, there are many of them. As if they were very well prepared.”
Even though it was not strengthened by the magical power of the demon beasts, Revan could tell. The enemy wasn’t just the guys in front of me. There were well over 15 people who were blatantly blocking the path to the academy.
There was no time for further conversation. Huh – Purple water droplets flew from Revan’s swung hand towards the opponents.
“Avoid!”
Except for two, all the masks twisted their bodies to avoid the flying poison droplets. Wow-! Revan squeezed his hand tightly.
“Oh? Ah?!”
“Ugh, uhhh.”
The bodies of the two guys who could not escape became thin like withered tree branches. The mana from the two who had become corpses was absorbed into Revan’s core.
‘It’s still not enough.’
However, Revan did not develop any physical enhancements. The magical power and mana reserves of demonic beasts and humans are on a different level. It was not enough fuel to fill Revan’s inefficient core.
Above all, the number just before was a secret number. However, a surprise attack is most effective the first time it is used, and loses its sharpness after being observed.
“I should have sent at least five…!”
“Hmm. Because the people I brought here are not easy guys.”
Parbat – In the darkness, the sound of something kicking and masks started popping out continuously. Crackling – Revan’s teeth clenched hard.
***
“······.”
“Oh my, Revan? When are you going to show off the body strengthening you boast about?”
“Shut up.”
“Oh wow. Be scared.”
Sararak. Through memorization, the torn forearm slowly regenerated. Revan turned his head and looked around.
The war situation could not be said to be good even with empty words. After killing a few masks at first, no significant results were achieved.
It is a fight taking place in the far corner of the academy. There were no wizards making loud noises, and only a silent battle filled with memorization continued.
Revan tapped the abacus in his head. Indeed, if I activate the core, will I be able to eliminate all of those guys before my mana runs out?
‘impossible.’
The conclusion came to me in an instant. That’s impossible. Thanks to the technology that hides their presence, which is unique to those in the back world, the exact number cannot be estimated. In this situation, Time Attack was crazy.
However, it was also impossible to run to the academy building. If Revan had been alone, he would have considered running away with all his might, even if it had a low probability.
“···Ha.”
But now Revan was not alone. If you clear the path, El will be isolated, and Antonio will be able to participate in the battle comfortably. Of course it is dismissed.
Kaang! I barely managed to bounce off the memorization that flew in from the darkness. My arms were shaking. Babieka’s weight began to become more and more of a burden.
A feeling of suffocating pressure began to fill Revan’s throat.
A cloud of extreme assumptions appeared in Revan’s mind. Should I use body strengthening to divert attention and let El escape?
‘Wouldn’t it be better than two of us dying?’
Leisure disappears. Breathing becomes faster. The members of the Black Snake organization were the empire’s best experts when it came to fighting to undermine the powerful without any sense of legitimacy.
“···Phew.”
Grumbling. El shook off her hands. A dark mark had passed through that pure white arm, and red lines had been drawn here and there.
“Junior?”
“···Yes.”
“Do you know why I am so hated in the academy?”
It was a topic that was not suitable for a life-or-death situation. Antonio’s eyes were filled with interest as he looked at the scene.
Unfortunately, Revan was in no condition to answer the question. ha. L sighed and spoke.
“Before I entered Geoff, I lived deep in the forest.
The only people around my age were my two older brothers. So I had no idea what my actions and abilities would look like.
And during Geoff’s first test, I fought ‘in my own way’ and became someone everyone disliked.”
Yellow eyes between gold and amber looked at Revan. The eyes were full of unspoken determination, trust, and slight fear.
“Junior. Can you promise me one thing?”
“···If it’s a promise.”
“After seeing me fight with all my might, I hope that you will not push me away and treat me like you normally do.”
Those words contained confidence that we could overcome this situation. At the same time, a slight tremor was mixed into the voice.
“Am I in a position where I can say that I am uncomfortable with someone? This is the guy who put the core of the giant spider in his heart.”
“···For sure!”
Wow. Revan, who was holding Babieka, muttered indifferently. At that voice, L threw back his head and laughed, “Ahaha.” Eventually, he wiped away small tears and opened his mouth.
“Is that what you promised?”
“Yes. No matter what happens, you will never feel uncomfortable towards your senior.”
“Then that’s it.”
Phew. Elle sighed and closed her eyes. The masks that saw that scene instinctively rushed at them. Because I felt something was off.
However, Revan took the lead in blocking the rush. Kaang! Revan’s Babieka and the blades of several masked people overlapped. And, El’s closed eyes opened.
L’s finger pointed into the air. The hand raised above the head made four dots. The dots were connected to form a square.
“Open.”
Quang! As soon as the short opening words were finished, a black wardrobe fell from the sky. Squeak – Finally, the door opened with a harsh sound.
