by adminAfter the meeting ended, the days after returning to Eden were uneventful.
The majority of cadets were enjoying a leisurely life, enjoying the excitement just before vacation, but unfortunately, that was not my story.
While conducting classes with Odd Spatium, I also had to handle the affairs of the association.
The main task is organizing the personnel of the Amazon Demonic Attack Force.
The number of jobs increased because I proposed a solution to the abnormal situation at Amazon Magyeong.
This is because we had to check the information on hunters pouring in from each country and allocate roles taking into account each character’s personality and specialties.
“I’m really going to die if I keep doing this.”
He put his head down on the wooden office table in the association’s vice president’s office and made a groaning sound.
The atmosphere of the room, which fully reflected Aleister’s tastes, made him feel at least comfortable while working.
“Now is the time… .”
Suddenly, I checked my smartphone that I had put away on the corner of the table, and the screen showed 6 PM.
I frowned a little. It wasn’t too late, but it was a somewhat ambiguous time.
‘Do you think it would be better to visit tomorrow?’
That thought crossed my mind for a moment, but then I shook my head and stood up.
There is a lot of work piled up tomorrow as well. However, it was somewhat difficult to talk about work during class.
It’s dangerous at 6 PM.
“… You’ll have to go to find out.”
He muttered as if he was lamenting and calculated the spell.
A barrier was placed around the body, and the inside was covered with a space magic technique that had only recently been able to be used properly.
Finally, the completed spell consumed my magic power and showed off its effects.
“Hmm… ? What are you doing at this hour? You even used space magic to come here.”
Odd Spartium, who was spending time in the vice-chancellor’s office filled with greenery as always, turned his head towards me.
Judging by the atmosphere, it looked like he hadn’t finished work yet, so I opened my mouth cautiously.
“There is one thing I would like to ask you.”
“Hmm, let’s listen.”
He looked at me with interest and nodded.
After seeing the reaction, I explained the purpose of coming here at this time.
“You probably already know that I am organizing a small, elite attack force to resolve the abnormal situation in the Amazon Demon World.”
“Yes. I know. I couldn’t attend the meeting because the time wasn’t right, but I heard the results.”
If so, the story is fast. I thought to myself and shook my head.
Then, before I could continue my next words, Odd Spartium guessed my request and pursed his lips.
“If you ask me to participate as a member of the attack team, I will be happy to do so. Because the issue of Magyeong is that important.”
Without the slightest hesitation, he looked at me with unwavering, firm eyes and said that he was willing to cooperate.
It’s something I’m willing to do. This is a situation where the ally you can rely on the most is in your hands.
However, there were still details that I had not brought up and that even he, who had confidently accepted my request, could not have guessed.
I took out the contents carefully.
“Thank you. But we need one more person besides the vice president.”
“Hmm, is it one of the professors of Eden? If it’s the Amazon Demon Lord, it’s definitely Professor Raina and Professor Roman… .”
“No.”
He interrupted Odd Spatium, who was selecting additional assistants from the faculty, and spoke carefully in a calm but serious voice.
“I am a cadet.”
“… Are you saying you will include a cadet in the Amazon Demon Lord’s raid team?”
“Yes.”
He and I closed our mouths at the same time, and there was silence for a few seconds.
Only after the sound of grass blades rustling in the wind and the sound of a flowing stream tickling our ears, were we able to open our mouths.
“What is the cadet’s name?”
I cast a trembling gaze towards Odd Spartium who asked that question, and with heavy lips, I spoke his name.
“Seria Alfheim.”
“… !”
“The most talented elf I have ever seen, I need her power.”
The cold silence fell again. The difference is that the silence now is not just silence.
Odd Spartium, who was frozen, asked me with a bit of anger in his trembling voice.
It had the air of a person who was saying that he would not allow anyone to see it.
“Why that child? If you’re an elf with excellent skills, Professor Raina… !”
“Because of Miss Seria’s mystery.”
His mouth, which had been pouring out words as if he was going to corner me at any moment, became quiet.
A mystery that Ceria Alfheim was born with.
Just as I wield the sovereignty of the other world and the Aether Spartium before my eyes manipulates the mysteries of the air, she also has an innate mystique as a high elf.
No, they are high elves because they were born with that mystery.
“I learned about it through information from the previous world. Born with the mystery of ‘world fairytale’ and its power, she is the core of the Amazon Demonic Landscape Attack Team.”
All elves feel familiar with nature, and their power becomes stronger in places filled with life.
The power enjoyed by all elves was a privilege that ordinary hunters could envy, but compared to Seria Alfheim, it was not very special.
A mystery that shows the miracle of processing and handling the magical power of Mother Nature, which is just wandering without a master, as if it were its own.
That is why Ceria Alfheim is an innate world fairy, and her magic affinity is the best in the world.
‘It has the potential to become a temporary semi-goddess by assimilating not only with the Amazon Demon World but also with the World Tree Yggdrasil.’
However, because she still lacks courage, it is difficult for her to accept the power of the World Tree.
I am fully aware of that fact. Ceria Alfheim, who assimilated with the World Tree and became a semi-myth, is an incident at the end of the main story.
Unfortunately, she hasn’t grown to that level yet.
But still, enough is enough.
‘The magic power of the World Tree is so unique, but its ability itself remains the same.’
Yggdrasil, which elevates the status of beings to the level of demi-gods in an instant, is simply abnormal.
Therefore, it would be easy to take on the power of the Amazon Demonic Realm, which is simply a massive swirling of magical energy.
“… No.”
“… Why?”
But Odd Spartium chewed his lips and refused my request.
It’s unusually emotional. When I asked him the reason for his unusual appearance, he answered with a slight sigh.
“You can’t send that child to such a dangerous place.”
Odd Spartium clearly thinks of Seria Alfheim in a special way.
Just as not everyone who gives birth is a parent, even if you do not give birth to a child, if you have a child in your heart, you are a parent.
To him, he is Ceria Alfheim’s cherished child.
But still, I need her help.
“Think again just once… .”
So, just as I was about to ask again, promising to protect Ceria Alfheim so that she would not be in a dangerous situation.
“The wife he loved his whole life died giving birth to that child.”
“… .”
“If there is only one precious thing left to me, it would be my child.”
His heavy words silenced my mouth.
Od Spatium’s wife died giving birth to Ceria Alfheim.
Because I wasn’t stupid enough to not know what this meant.
‘… ‘Is that so?’
It was not like an adopted daughter.
Ceria Alfheim was really Odd Spartium’s biological daughter, and for some reason, their relationship was at its worst.
Even if a child drives a nail into his or her heart, a parent is the one who forgives and cannot harshly reject the child.
What parent would want to send their child to the devil?
“Then, let’s do it like this.”
However, despite the rudeness, the presence of Seria Alfheim was an essential element in this operation.
Because she was the Joker card that would thwart the plan prepared by the Apostle of the Apocalypse.
I presented Odd Spartium the best way I could.
“The Vice President will personally accompany Ms. Seria. If her safety is at risk, you may leave the scene immediately.”
“… I think I need to take some time to think.”
I looked bitterly at Odd Spartium, who had turned his back on me.
I already did the best I could. As he said, I can only hope that a positive answer comes back after some time of thought.
He deployed space magic again and said goodbye to Odd Spartium.
“I’ll just head back. I hope you give me a good answer.”
With those words, my vision changed.
And the next morning, an unexpected guest arrived first at the vice president’s office when I visited Odd Spartium to conduct a class.
“… Seong Yu-jin?”
“Miss Seria?”
The identity of the passenger was a woman familiar to me.
Seria Alfheim.
Her appearance, blending in with the surrounding vegetation, was that of a golden high elf with a somewhat solemn atmosphere.
