Academy’s Power Master - Academy’s Power Master chapter 104
New Elf Village (3)
-I had a serious accident as soon as we met after a long time.
“… … I’m sorry.”
-done. After all, this is enough damage that can be repaired with my own strength.
“thank you.”
Fortunately, I didn’t have to clean with my broom and dustpan in my hand.
This is because the World Tree, who came to hear the commotion, wielded his huge branches and performed miracles.
Watching the destroyed forest quickly regain its shape because it was not enough for the earth to change in an instant, I almost thought it was a god rather than a world tree.
“… … I didn’t expect it to be this strong.”
“It’s a gender difference. Spirits are used to it.”
“still. There is an age difference… … Oh, forget this.”
“Yes. A 400-year age difference?”
“Do you want me to forget you?!”
I smiled at Eldea, who was blushing as she recalled the age difference, and then I patted her on the shoulder.
“it’s okay. Age is just a number.”
“you… … you… … .”
“It’s a joke.”
If you touch me a little more, I will pull out my sword and come to you at night.
After calming the resentful Eldea.
We were able to return to the village again after checking the surroundings once again arranged by the World Tree.
“Hey! Where did you go! You’ve been looking for it for a while.”
“Ah, I was trying to fight with Eldea-sama.”
“Dalian? But why are all your clothes torn? Isn’t it something else?”
“… … What?”
“ah… … no.”
I have a creepy feeling.
Elena, who had dark dead eyes as she looked at her ripped jacket, was very frightened.
He looked at my upper body with his face red, and his eyes were black and dead.
‘Is there too much mismatching?’
It’s been a while since I tilted my head at a different look than usual Elena.
Elena, who faltered in her words, returned to her usual form.
“Put this on for now.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Thanks to Elena, who handed me my clothes, looking at me with fresh eyes that returned to normal, I was able to avoid being naked… … .
‘… … But why does Elena have my clothes?’
There was something strange, but it wasn’t particularly important, so let’s skip ahead.
“Are you okay?”
“yes! The elves treated me well, so I looked all over the place, and the spirits like it a lot, too!”
While I was fighting with Eldea, Elena was guided by the elves and toured their village.
Protected by the power of the World Tree, the elf village that contained his power was like a pool of mana in itself.
In addition, it is natural that the spirits who like the World Tree also like the Elf Village.
“Then you’ll be fine while I’m away.”
“… … I hate it, but that’s the purpose, so I can’t help it.”
“It won’t take long.”
It might take a long time.
I’m sorry Elena, but I still don’t know what Lilith wants to go to the Demon Realm.
I couldn’t give a definitive answer because it could be that I was going to see the magic scene for a while, or it could be because I wanted something.
Knowing that, Elena also nodded her head with a firm face.
“Yeah, I’ll wait. Because I’m used to waiting. and… … I am of no help to Heize now.”
“No, that’s not why… … .”
Elena is strong.
She made a contract with the highest level spirit before she was 20 years old, and her strength is enough to slap the cheeks of most beings.
‘If I can handle all four top-level spirits, I and other S-class strong people will be wiped out without even using one hand properly.’
The highest level of spirit art is S.
If you could deal with as many as four such superlative spirits, it would be the same as Elena’s strength reaching S+ or, at best, SS-.
Doesn’t that kind of Elena help me?
That was nonsense, but if it was Elena, who has been watching my growth lately, it wouldn’t be strange to think so.
“Elena.”
“yes?”
“Even if you deal only with the lowest level spirits, I will not give up on you.”
“Suck! bar… … Silly. If that’s really the case, you should throw away things like me!”
lowest level spirit.
That means just before Elena met me.
It is of no use or help at all.
I understand why Elena said that, but-
‘At that time, I don’t know, not now.’
Time with Elena.
They mean that a person named Elena has infiltrated me, regardless of whether I need it or not.
Indeed, even if Elena’s contract with all the spirits is broken and she becomes a normal person, I will not let go of her relationship with Elena.
As long as she was gone, it would have been enough if I worked harder.
“So, try hard while I’m away, but don’t overdo it. Understand?”
“… … Yes, I will.”
Fortunately, Elena nodded, saying that she would know if I had any thoughts.
Seeing this, I gently stroked Elena’s gray hair, and then I turned around and headed for the elf village.
“Hey, let’s rest for a while.”
“great!”
Because I wanted to rest for the first time, whatever it was.
So, before leaving for Makyung with Lilith.
The daily life of staying in the elf village for a few days started now.
* * *
“Whoa… … After all, sweating in the morning is the best.”
“Yes!”
Tak Tak Tak-
Everyday life in the elf village was not particularly special.
After waking up early in the morning, doing a light jog with Elena, and sweating moderately.
“Yum yum.”
“tasty?”
“yes! I guess I am a vegetarian!”
Eat fruits and vegetables carefully prepared by the elves.
After filling her stomach, Elena went to the elves to take a class on spirit art, connection with Aldebaran, and contract with the spirit king.
“going?”
“However much.”
When Elena left for class, it was my job to warm up by fighting with Eldea or Lily in the meantime.
After that it was the same.
Eat, fight, sleep.
ah-
“Heize, sleep well.”
“Yes, Elena, you too.”
I don’t know why, but there was only one bed in the room, so there was nothing particularly strange except for sleeping with Elena.
Of course, strange wooden planks were scattered on the floor every morning, but there was no problem because Elena quickly cleaned it with a surprised face.
After spending a few days like that, he spent time so that Elena could feel her affection for the elf village and relax.
“… … Hey, hey.”
“Sorry, I have to go now.”
“I can’t help it. Don’t you ever get hurt?”
“Okay. don’t worry.”
I had to prepare to leave the elven village, leaving behind Elena, who didn’t want to fall.
In fact, staying for a few days was for Elena, so I spent a lot of time for her.
But I couldn’t stay here for the rest of my life, and I couldn’t wait for her to settle down.
There was nothing I could do about it other than pat her on the shoulder with regret for having to leave.
“Bye.”
“Helena, take care of yourself too.”
“yes!”
After a short conversation, I finished the conversation with Elena before I left the elf village.
I had an interview with Eldea.
“Are you really planning to go to the magic realm?”
“Well, I have to go. It would be strange not to come all the way here.”
“… … Hmmm not cheering If it’s like you, there’s no way you’ll ever get hurt.”
“Not at all, but… … It can be dry enough to take care of your body.”
No matter how dangerous the Demon Sword is, I honestly don’t have to worry about dying as long as the real Demon Lord doesn’t appear in front of me.
demon? monster?
‘It’s enough to bounce.’
For me, who had sharpened my physical abilities to the limit, demons and demons were dangerous, but close enough to being able to avoid them.
so that-
“Do not worry.”
“… … I get it. then go well In the meantime, we will take great care of him.”
“thanks.”
Seeing Eldea’s nod, we leave with a smile-
“Then why did the two of you share the same bed every day?”
“Yes?”
There was only one bed.
I left the place with something strange and uncomfortable in my heart.
* * *
“It is the border of the mysterious forest. If you cross this road, it’s magical from then on.”
“… … It’s miserable.”
Passing through the mysterious forest, the barren wasteland seen over the edge made it clear why the magic is the magic.
Numerous monsters and demons that come and go on the barren land.
The appearance was so barren that it was hard to believe that it was the beginning.
“You will have to go from here on your own.”
“I didn’t even want to go there.”
“… … I wish you good luck.”
Eldea shook her head once as if it was her limit to that point and left.
Looking at Eldea who had disappeared like that, I asked, looking at Lily who was standing next to me and smiling faintly.
“So, what is the purpose of going to the Magic Kingdom?”
in a few days.
The purpose of Lily’s first burial in almost a few weeks is to go to the magical realm.
It was strange, but since I didn’t have much time to be alone with Lily, it was natural to me, so my question was reasonable.
Even more so because Lily didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding her purpose.
“Did you know that the Holy Sword is hidden in the Magic Sword?”
“… … I know you know.”
holy sword.
The sword hidden in the demonic spirit had tremendous divine power, so it was a weapon exclusively used for warriors, mainly used to cut through demons and inflict critical damage on demons.
Naturally, it was also a weapon that had to be acquired unconditionally as the story progressed.
‘Without that, the Demon King cannot be defeated.’
A lot of dead people stuck together and tried to catch the Demon King without the Holy Sword, but it was almost impossible to catch the Demon King without the Holy Sword.
Therefore, the holy sword has become an indispensable element, and in the end, people set the goal of how long they can survive without the holy sword, rather than not using it at all.
To that extent, the holy sword is said to be an indispensable item for catching the demon king in this world.
Naturally, I knew that the Holy Sword existed and that it was somewhere in the Magical Sutra.
‘I do not know the correct location.’
All I know is that it is hidden somewhere.
The exact location of the holy sword was not known.
It is also because the background is skipped along with the event scene in the terrain with similar surroundings.
But Lily in front of her seemed to know where the holy sword was.
“… … Do you know?”
No matter how witchy she is.
No matter how small the king is.
It was hard to imagine that she would know the location of the Holy Sword, so I said it…
“You know.”
“… … !!!”
With a bashful smile as if it were natural, she was sure of the location of the holy sword.
With her words without even a handful of lies, I set foot toward the Magyeong without hesitation.
“Then let’s go right away!”
holy sword.
It wasn’t difficult at all to move towards the very weapon that would take me to a higher level.
rather enjoyable.
so that-
bum bum-
Even as I headed to Magyeong, where I had set my feet for the first time in my life, I wasn’t scared at all.
