Maria asked me to stop Jack from harming the students… In fact, that wish is impossible.

How vast is the Racht Mountain Range? I try to listen to Maria’s words as unconditionally as possible, but I don’t know where the Duke of Pupil may descend.

So, I plan to find Jack’s energy wave. An unusual energy will spread among the students who discover Jack for the first time.

One or two people… At most, about ten people will die, but it can’t be helped, right? You have to make sacrifices. It’s a big deal.

I walked through the forest, just praying. The fresh scent makes you feel like you are in nature. Dense and dense trees fill the field of view.

Albrecht’s escort driver seems very dissatisfied with me doing this. Although they follow us quietly.

Finally, the commander of the Imperial Knights could not stand it anymore and intervened.

“Look, student.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking… If you’re going to take the test, shouldn’t you catch monsters and take them with you? Why don’t they take care of the body?”

“Because I don’t want to lose strength.”

I answered bluntly. For me, I wasn’t the kind of person I wanted to really care about.

“You’re just saying things you don’t understand. I don’t know what grand plans you have, but you are not the only one facing this test. It means that Her Highness’s score is also at stake.”

“Really? Your Majesty, is that true?”

“… Knight Commander, don’t try to interfere. No, don’t add a word. It just means to live like a non-existent person. Until the main woman allows interference.”

What to do when dissatisfaction is sky-high? If the sky presses down on you, you won’t be able to move.

The knight commander became completely quiet after Albrecht’s words. The expression on his face was full of frustration, as if he was about to explode and die, but that was all. The train doesn’t stop just because the dog barks. I silently walked my way.

As a result, darkness engulfed the sky. It was already chilly, but the night air hit us. Because of this, Albrecht’s body trembled.

“Phew… .”

White steam rose from the exhaled breath of Albrecht, who was riding on my back. The dark circles that usually took root under her eyes were consumed by blush.

“Is it cold?”

“Then wouldn’t it be cold?”

It’s nice that I’m not the kind of person who insists on not being cold. I took off my coat and placed it over Albrecht’s back. In addition, he used fire magic to light up the surroundings.

“Let’s warm up.”

“Hmm… That’s kind of you.”

“If the electric charge freezes, what will I become?”

I was just about to catch my breath after putting Albrecht down near the fire.

Quaaang-!

A tremendous crash sound penetrated the earth. One side of the night sky was dyed dark red.

It’s a guy. Pupil Jack. Although it is not a work of art yet.

It is night now. Maria, who has become the person of the night, will take Frey out as planned, and Beatrice, Nioh, Aru, and others will head to the source of energy. like me.

What is “? ? Did a bomb explode?”

“Your Majesty! You must avoid it!”

“Hmm… I guess it’s time.”

I got up from where I was warming up. I stood in front of Albrecht, who was tilting his head.

“Your Majesty, from now on I will go to the direction where the explosion occurred.”

“What you mean by saying that is… ?”

“Yes, that’s right. No, your highness. It’s going to be dangerous. I don’t have the strength to protect your Majesty.”

“… .”

“From now on, go down the mountain with the knight commander. The exam is over. It’s time for a new festival.”

After casting a heating spell to prevent Albrecht from getting frostbite, I immediately kicked him to the ground. And then the moon rose in the direction it rose.

I feel two pairs of eyes staring at me from behind. Oh my, don’t do that, just run away. They say they can’t protect you if you get swept away.

The origin of the explosion was in the west. I feel a familiar energy wave in the black and red air. It’s Jack’s.

A magical and magical energy. It has clearly become intangible and is spreading everywhere, but it seems as if it will turn into a sharp blade at any time and tear the fabric to pieces without mercy. Inaction is the power that reaches extreme intention.

Kuuung-!

As I got closer to the source, the terrain became visible through the darkness. Uprooted trees, broken rocks, and scattered human bodies.

It looks like it has been devastated. Looks like they’ve already caused a ruckus once.

Still, there are still few corpses. Probably around seven. This is the price you pay for falling into the wild and failing to recognize beasts of higher rank than yourself.

There was a woman standing in the middle of the neatly torn bodies. This is a woman wearing a rare silk robe. The flowing ebony hair is static and neat.

This is proof that even though the surroundings were so destroyed, the person himself did not exert any effort at all. If I had moved roughly, my hair would have become scattered.

Air waves spreading out like a haze control the space. Even though it hasn’t been long since she came into this world, she is making a clear statement.

This is my territory… Called.

It truly is a monster.

Truly.

I walked in front of the monster.

“Hello.”

“… ?”

“Hmm… As expected, I still can’t communicate.”

“… … … … .”

Jack recognizes me and says something. I also spit out words. But our voices don’t reach each other. Because the language is different.

Although I know how to speak several languages, I have not been able to master a completely different language. Can not help it.

“… … … ! ha… .”

Jack, facing me, sighs. She must be quite frustrated too.

– Ah, can you hear me?

Suddenly, an alluring tone was engraved in my mind. It was Jack’s.

– It’s a technique called Hyegwangsim-eo (慧光心語). It looks like we’re having trouble because our language is different, but if this is the case, conversation is possible. It’s a method of imprinting thoughts into one’s mind. However, the only person who can use Hyegwangsim language is me… . Would you also take out your weapons?

Plant Hye-gwang. I heard it from Jack in a past life. You said that even though you sent Hye-gwang Sim-eo to the students at the academy, conflict arose and it was a headache.

It has to be that way. It’s not that there is no way to transmit sound without making it heard, but Jack’s Hyegwangsim language is an extremely noble method. You have to be an absolute strongman to be bold enough to dare.

– Is it right to do it like this?

– oh… ? Could it be that you just copied the original lesson?

– Hehe, I’m naturally a talented person. You can imitate all kinds of tricks.

– Hye-gwang Sim-eo is not something that can be easily imitated… . That’s amazing. It’s different from what I saw before.

Jack smiled softly. It’s a killer’s smile. It was beautiful and eerie.

-Where is this place?

– It’s the Lachst Mountains.

– No, isn’t there a name for this world? Like the central region or the western region. This person is from Xinjiang.

– We just call it the continent.

– continent? That’s a name I’ve never heard of.

I guess so. It’s a completely different dimension. The map itself is different.

– Phew, I feel refreshed talking to you. When I was dealing with the things lying around over there, I almost fell into a state of intoxication. Those who obviously heard what I wanted kept pointing their weapons at me and making threats… .

– Because there are not many beings who can use Hyegwangsim language.

– Then you’re lucky. I met you so quickly, one of those few beings.

I held the magic wand with my hand behind my back. A cold, hard texture curls up against my fingertips.

– is that so? But there is a better and more convenient way to communicate than this. How about talking about it?

– Is there something in common even if the languages are different? Even if it’s not Hyegwang Sim-eo?

– yes.

– That’s interesting. What is that?

The moment the flash split into one-hundredths of a second, I set off without warning. At the same time, he lifted the magic wand and stabbed Jack in the face.

– A conversation of the body.

*****

That time. After Evans leaves, Albrecht is left alone with his bodyguard.

The knight commander wanted to get out of this place quickly. Although he was not at the absolute level, he was strong enough, and he felt the shocking force of the exploding energy.

“Me, Your Highness. As the student just said, you need to evacuate quickly. Please carry me on your back.”

‘We must evacuate His Highness! ‘There is a monster that cannot be resisted!’

However, the answer that came back shattered the knight commander’s thoughts.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Yes… ?”

“Pick up the main girl right now. And chase that guy. I have to see clearly what is happening with my own eyes.”

‘That guy, Evans, seemed to be predicting the explosion just now.’

Naturally, the knight commander was vehemently opposed.

“No! A minor has a duty to protect his lord!”

“Escort is to prevent danger, not to avoid it. And the person you must obey is the original woman. Knight Commander, do your duty.”

However, Albrecht did not give up his will. As a knight, the knight commander could not disobey his master’s orders, so he ran towards the root of the incident with the mindset that he might die carrying Albrecht on his back.

On the other hand, from Frey and Maria’s side.

Quaaang-!

“… .”

“… .”

“In the end… It looks like it exploded.”

“Yes, I think so.”

Neither the warrior nor the saint was shocked by the explosion. Instead, with a stern look on his face, he chewed his lip and stared in the direction the wind was blowing.

“I should go, right?”

“Didn’t you promise not to go?”

“If my divine power can provide even the slightest help to the Joker, I will run to it.”

“Okay… That’s how it should be. The opponent is the same pupil. Because it is a monster whose safety cannot be guaranteed even if several people work together.”

The two walked to the battlefield. The same was true for the three bodyguards following the two.
