Fortunately, she didn’t miss the wall, but her hands and feet that were on the wall also slid down, and Lucia ended up a few meters lower than Anne.

“… Like trash… … !!”

Lucia was gritting her teeth as she realized that the earth fairies above her had dropped her student.

It was a skill that could be quite useful for someone like him who had lost his mobility and was hanging on the wall, which also meant that the students above were already in danger as well.

Soon, Lucia saw several students starting to leave one by one with time lag, and tried hard to catch them, but she was reaching her limit much easier than she thought.

They say they managed to hold on to one or two people with force, but after that, balance as well as strength was a problem.

There was no way for students who were panicking due to a fall to stay still so that they could easily regain their balance.

“Huh… !! Assistant… !!

please… !! You can’t let go… !!”

“Esther… !! Don’t move… Mara… … !!”

“Kwaaaa!! I don’t want to die!!”

Because of their actions of shaking in fear, Lucia’s body gradually tilted to one side.

Unfortunately, because of her wet and slippery clothes and hands, Lucia’s hands reached their limit and ended up slipping away at another student.

Even the last dagger he was holding in the process fell into the dark shadows, flashing its final sword light.

“Esther… !! no… … !!”

“Aaaa!!”

– Boom

As if to say that falling objects are equal, a dull sound is heard again.

Lucia, who was trying hard to ignore it and was staring straight in front of her, was trying to help the student she was holding with her other hand and put him up against a wall like she did with Anne.

She was slowly getting tired, and unable to look down at the heavy student to give her strength, Lucia tried to stand up with her arms hanging down, but a trembling voice mixed with the sound of rain began to be heard in Lucia’s ears.

“Jo… Teacher… … Hmm!!”

“Nella… !! Point to the wall… !! Come on!!”

However, the moment Lucia felt the motionless movement of the student and looked down at him.

Before she knew it, Lucia was able to spot the earth fairy hanging on the back of the girl she had caught, her legs wrapped around her waist, and a dagger pointed at her neck.

“Black!! Breathe… main… I don’t want to die… …

Hmm… !! Black!! So cool… … Sigh!!”

Watching the student gasp and cry as if he was almost out of his mind, Lucia couldn’t help but realize that the earth elves would eventually do anything to knock her to the ground.

Even now, he was preventing the girl he held hostage from behaving as he pleases, and he was adding to the burden on Lucia, who was holding on with all his might to bear her weight to save her.

Lucia was gritting her molars as she stared at the girl’s bright, bright eyes quietly staring at her from behind.

I knew she wouldn’t give up the hostage.

It was a truly evil, yet clever monster.

“Kaaa!!”

Meanwhile, another couple of students fell on top of their heads screaming, and Lucia’s body, which collided with the body weight she was already holding and the acceleration of the fall, was gradually losing its strength.

Even with the penalty of wet terrain, it feels amazing that we’ve barely survived so far.

But unfortunately, that wasn’t the only thing she had to deal with anymore.

“Qu… !!”

Lucia, who was unable to abandon her student as the land fairies had intended, was moving her body to fix her hand with the girl who was barely hanging on to her hand.

At that moment, one of her feet sank into the ground, and Lucia’s body, losing its balance, swayed and leaned to one side.

“Ugh… !!”

Lucia, who had barely prevented her tilting head from hitting the opposite wall with her elbow, was now just hanging on the wall in an awkward position, with both feet on one wall and one hand on the other.

Yet, she did not let go of the hand of the female student she was holding tightly to.

“Move… Mara… !!

Hold on tight… … !!”

“ㄴ… yes… Wow!!”

The moment Lucia was trying to encourage the female student, the shock of a heavy weight hitting her back caused the girl to fall into the darkness, screaming with her hand out because her hand slipped.

“Nella!! no… … !!”

Moreover, the person who hit his back was not a student this time, but a land fairy.

Perhaps thinking that it was her turn to finish off her tired prey, Lucia became furious at the actions of the guys who used her back as a stepping stone to jump off, and tried to grab them with one hand and pull them away.

“Kuhhh… Get away… !!

These monsters… !!”

Lucia was unable to stop the land fairies from entangling herself, who was barely holding on in her collapsed position, as they were avoiding her hands as if they were clinging to her body more tightly than expected, perhaps because they were the ones who had been climbing walls in the first place.

As more and more land fairies begin to cling to her body, her weight gradually increases, and her free hands eventually have no choice but to be used to support the weight.

Now it is time to determine how she will fall depending on which of the two, her wrists or knees, breaks first.

“Senior… … !!”

The moment when Lucia’s knees gave way first and she was about to fall down the crevasse.

At the sound of someone’s hand and voice holding her wrist, Lucia’s voice became infinitely brighter as she looked up and made eye contact with Anne.

“Anne… !! You did it… !!”

Was it thanks to Lucia’s advice?

Of course, there were many land fairies who were drawn to Lucia’s resistance by flopping around like a live fish and persistently targeting her, but Anne was lucky enough to be able to catch and throw away the few ground fairies that stuck to her.

She had finally escaped danger and had finally come to help Lucia.

“Ugh… … senior… … Too heavy… … ”

Of course, the weight of Lucia combined with the weight of the hanging land fairies was too heavy for Anne, who was not as disciplined as Lucia, to handle.

But fortunately, Lucia’s limbs were no longer bound.

“Go to hell… !!”

It was only when her limbs were free that Lucia was able to skillfully shake herself off even while she was hanging.

No matter how quick the land fairies were, it was natural that Lucia was superior in terms of simple ability.

– Kiik

– Okay

Every time Lucia shook her body, many of the land fairies hanging on her body were thrown away, and the ones she had grabbed directly fell to the floor and screamed.

Lucia, who had finally managed to get rid of the land fairies one by one and became bare, began to take off the armor she was wearing one by one for Anne, who was holding on to her with her teeth clenched.

– Kang kagankang

The armor that covered her body fell one by one and hit the floor, making a metallic sound, and Lucia’s body became even lighter.

Now all she had to do was lean on the wall again and get her balance.

“Ugh… … Damn it… … ”

However, Lucia felt that her legs, which had loosened earlier, were losing strength, and for the first time in front of others, she cursed and gently squeezed Anne’s hand.

“It looks like your legs have lost their strength…

This is a difficult request…

Can you lift me up… ?”

“I’ll try… So hold on tight… … !!”

Anne, with her feet on both walls and holding Lucia’s hand tightly with both hands, was waddling her hips and slowly raising her feet alternately.

The two women seemed to be slowly but carefully climbing toward the ground, little by little.

But if it weren’t for that, maybe this story would have been a little different.

“I want to go back… … ”

“That’s right… yo. this… Tsk… …

hurry… Go up… Sigh… !!”

“Hurry up and reorganize…

I have to save the fallen ones… ”

“That’s not possible…

The ideal that fell down there…

You don’t have any armor right now… ”

“Must.

That’s my duty as a teaching assistant.”

“Senior… It’s not scary… !?

I want to save it too, but… Now we… !!”

“It’s scary. I’m afraid I won’t be able to save it.

Because I feel like I miss the teacher right now…

Maybe I’m a woman who can’t help it… …

Then when I go back… … I think I should at least propose to my teacher.”

Anne’s body was trembling at the sound of Lucia’s taunting name, perhaps because she felt depressed thinking about the students who had fallen.

Even if she returned to the ground now, she would regroup right away and go to rescue the students who had fallen again.

At least the Lucia he had seen so far was that kind of person.

Although she says she is just an ordinary woman who has no choice, she is a woman who fulfills her duties more noble than anyone else.

Even its appearance is so dazzling.

Even the sight of her clinging to herself was so brilliant.

“Not much time left…

They come again.”

“Ugh… … !!”

But what made her heart ache even more than that was when she said she was considering courting Edward.

If a woman like this were to become his real enemy, he would no longer be able to win.

Because I couldn’t help but notice that I had been treated rather moderately until now.

As the ground elves that had been shaken off began to pursue her persistently, Anne’s squirming movements began to gain a little more speed, but it was ultimately difficult to make up for the difference in speed.

“Ugh… !! Get away, you bastards… !!

me… Don’t stop it… … !!”

As the land fairies climbed up the cliff like demons crawling out of hell and started to cling to them again, a huge burden was being placed on Anne’s hands as she held on to Lucia, whose weight had begun to increase again.

As it was, the situation could be dangerous for both of them, but Anne did not give up and was straining her arms to the limit in order to somehow raise her body.

“Anne… … !! Pfft!! My hands… !!”

“Almost… We’re almost there… !!”

In the end, Lucia’s hand slipped once, fluttered in the air, and finally managed to grab Anne’s ankle.

At the same time, Anne’s posture also collapsed this time, and she was supporting a considerable amount of weight with only a small portion of her upper body resting on the ground with her arms outstretched.

“I… I’m going back… !!

Save everyone… When I go back… You will be praised… !!

Well done!! I believed you would do it… !!

Sigh… like that… Obviously so…

She’s a good girl… I’ll tell you… !!”

Lucia’s faint and poisonous eyes filled with firm determination even as she struggled to somehow shake off the land fairy…

Anne’s mind was becoming more complicated as she looked down at Lucia, unable to tell who she was thinking of.

Unable to empty my mind, which was becoming more complicated, I could not help the echo-like sound of Lucia’s voice shouting as if she was making a promise.

‘I guess we don’t have anything to say to each other.

‘Because I can’t just sit still.’

‘Because I’m desperate too.

This may not be the Lucia di Borgia that everyone thinks she is.

but… I thought you would give me some idea…

No, it could be that I just arbitrarily hoped to be understood.’

‘I am happy enough now, Anne.

Apart from everything else, I am on an adventure with my ‘brave junior’.

‘How could it not be fun?’

Emotions rising and crying.

In the end, they knew that they had no choice but to be romantic enemies, and that they couldn’t win against the girl they thought was so brilliant.

That’s why Anne’s eyes were burning hot as she was thinking scary thoughts, as if she was blaming herself for what she was about to do.

Anne bit her lip as she heard Lucia’s voice calling out Edward’s name, and inadvertently shook off Lucia’s grip on her ankle with her opposite foot.

“Ah… … !!”

“……”

Falling down into a dark crevasse while entangled with a land fairy, the feeling of his hand being swatted away, his name being called out as if in death.

“Why… Anne… … !!”

I looked back one last time at Lucia’s face, which was fading out of sight, and her face was drained of all color due to shock and betrayal.

Anne, who unconsciously felt the touch of something hot flowing from her eyes, was closing her eyes tightly as if trying to ignore it.

And after a little more than 5 seconds, the only thing that can be heard is the dull, crashing sound of the person falling violently on the ground, a low voice that seems to be a bit evil, and the giggling laughter of the land fairies.

Perhaps because her betrayal was so shocking, Anne inadvertently let out a small cry and looked up at the sky because she could no longer hear even a single voice coming towards her.

Since it was raining, there was no time to delay going up.

Before my body gets any heavier.

Before the wall slips or recedes.

Anne twitched her distorted lips and hurriedly climbed up the cliff, struggling with her feet that were still touching the cliff.

And when her body finally reached the ground, Anne was able to pull herself out of the crevasse with great difficulty, roll over to the ground, and lie down on the floor.

Anne, who had not been able to rest even for a moment until now and felt as if her limbs under pressure were screaming, tried to swallow a painful moan, and when she saw that the sword she had lost when she fell was lying right next to her, she stretched out her arm and managed to grab it. .

‘no one… .. doesn’t exist… … ?’

Even though we struggled to climb up, it seemed like there were no more people here.

Except for a few students who fell earlier, the rest seemed to have successfully escaped from the crevasse area, but it was as if they had been abandoned by them.

It was as if he had betrayed Lucia, thinking that there would be no hope if things continued like this, and out of jealousy.

Unlike those who fell into the crevasse, these people probably turned around, saying that those who can survive should live.

Anne clutched her chest, trembling in pain again, and curled up on her side like a shrimp.

It was no longer possible to tell whether what was flowing from her eyes was rain or tears, but only a hint of heat felt around her eyes told her that she was crying.

“I… me… … why… why… ?

Why on earth would you do that… … ?”

Now that I had actually done it, regret no longer meant anything.

Among them, Lucia is the only one capable of saving the students below.

I pushed her off that cliff with my own hands, but even though I regretted it later, it was safe to say that there were others, including myself, who could have gone down there and killed them.

Lucia, who fell to the bottom of the crevasse, probably also suffered serious injuries, and if she went down to her level now, it would be nothing more than a dog’s death.

In the first place, everyone who was left ran away, and it got to the point where he couldn’t be said to be safe as he was left alone.

“Ah… Black… Ugh…

no… … This is what I wanted to do… … Wow!!”

– Rumbling

Anne, who inadvertently stumbled on the suddenly shaking ground, was running forward as fast as her body told her to before she could understand the situation.

That feeling must have been correct, because the crevasses were creating cracks here and there, and the structure was collapsing like dry rice fields becoming wet with water.

As the central part became wet and crumbly, the floor shook like an earthquake, and eventually the wet soil collapsed and naturally filled the crevasse gap.

“No… !! senior… … !! Hmm… !!”

Anne, who eventually turned around and ran away, let out a cruel scream from her mouth.

By the time the collapse of the floor had progressed to some extent, I was finally beginning to feel that it was somehow safe.

Anne was sitting on the floor, heavily wet from the incessant rain, as if a dark cloud was still covering her chest.

Looking down in despair at the dirt floor where the cracked crevasse was covered with collapsed dirt and there was no longer any way to go down,

She cried for a long time with reddened eyes, and then suddenly began to burst into mournful laughter.

“Black… haha… Ahaha… … ”

For the mistakes he made, for his intolerance and viciousness.

“Senior was bad… I am… Only the teacher…

Just Edward… If you receive concessions… It was supposed to work… … ”

Even though I regret it, it’s too painful to cry anymore.

The girl’s broken laughter, trying to look away, mixed with the sound of rain and echoed towards the rainy sky.
