Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 72



72. The Forest of Enchantment (8)

Squeak! Choo-aak!

“Kihiiiii… .”

“Is this 12?”

The fallen spirit slowly disappears, leaving behind a strange groan.

This was the edge of the outskirts, near the center of the Forest of Enchantment. There, Cain was luring the corrupted spirits and cutting them down with ease.

“Cain! Can I come out now?!”

“Yeah. You don’t have to hide anymore.”

It was thanks to Ellis, who was currently running hard towards Cain, that I was able to lure him.

Ellis is one of the few possessors of divine powers at Ariel Academy.

Corrupted spirits of the upper level and lower do not easily reveal themselves to those who possess divine power because they fear divine power. If they come into contact with divine power, their existence will disappear without a trace.

So Cain deliberately sent Ellis far away from him, causing the surrounding corrupted spirits to flee towards him.

“You seem really smart, Master Cain! You lure the fallen spirits to hunt them down, and then use the opportunity to search for a safe path…!”

“No. It’s an idea that anyone can come up with if they just think about it. It’s thanks to Ellis. If it weren’t for Ellis, I wouldn’t have been able to cut down the corrupted spirits on my own.”

It was just as Cain said. Cain has reached a level where he can manifest Aura, but he is still unable to use it freely.

If Ellis had not imbued her sword with divine power, she would not have been able to annihilate the corrupted spirits.

Cain said as he stroked Ellis who had come towards him.

“Thank you, Ellis. It’s all thanks to you.”

“Hehe… No! If I had been alone, I wouldn’t have been able to find the fairy tears. Lord Cain, you knew the terrain of the Forest of Enchantment and the environment where fairy tears would be abundant!”

“… That’s also thanks to the Barbo family’s book warehouse.”

“Humility is also a problem! Would it be better if I admit it a little?”

Cain smiled sheepishly and picked up the remaining fairy tears he had found in the overgrown weeds.

… this is the fourth.

There were more than enough to get full marks.

‘I’d like to get more and go, but… it’s useless if I’m late.’

So far, everything has been going smoothly, but if variables arise and time is delayed, it becomes a hassle.

Cain nodded quietly and decided to be satisfied with this. The other testers would have a hard time even obtaining one fairy tear.

‘And, even if Prince Xi’an can use his Aura, this test will be difficult.’

This exam is a group exam, not an individual exam.

If he were alone, he could take the test by dealing with the numerous corrupted spirits that chase him one by one, but if he has a partner to protect, his movements are limited.

‘Of course, it was thanks to Ellis that I was able to take the exam comfortably. I can’t deny this… So let’s repay the favor to Ellis separately.’

Cain, whose thoughts had been sorted out, looked at Ellis with a pleased expression.

“Huh? Cain, why are you looking at me like that?”

“No. Ahem, Ellis. It’s almost dawn. Should we leave the forest?”

“Yes~.”

.

.

.

.

“Are you saying that you two found all of these together?”

“Yes, Instructor.”

As soon as Cain exited the Forest of Enchantment, he gave the Fairy’s Tear to the Bahamut instructor who was at the entrance.

Instructor Bahamut’s eyes opened slightly.

Up until now, the most fairy tears brought by any test taker in any period were three.

However, the first applicant to bring four appeared today. Bahamut, who was originally blunt and expressionless, was secretly surprised this time.

‘You said Barbo from the Baron Barbo family and Ellis from commoner origins? This year’s first-year students are good at sprouting.’

Perhaps this moment could be the starting point for the birth of a hero who would make a name for himself on the continent after graduation.

Instructor Bahamut said with a satisfied smile.

“I’ll take good care of them. The four fairy tears you brought will be used for the development of Ariel Academy and the education of its students.”

“I’m so sorry, Instructor.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry!”

There is not much time left until the final third exam.

The sun was rising. The weather was getting chilly, and it would soon be morning.

‘Shall we end the test now?’

After Cain came down, there was no sign of any more students coming out.

Instructor Bahamut spoke to the professor who was recording the number of fairy tears from the test takers.

“Professor Venice. The records are as follows-”

“Huh? Instructor. There are more students coming out of the entrance.”

At the professor’s words, Instructor Bahamut turned his head toward the entrance.

‘… It’s not yet fully morning, so I’ll take it last.’

From a distance, a student wearing the swordsmanship armor is running towards me, out of breath.

‘…hmm?’

He was running, but something felt strange.

He was running with someone on his back.

‘Did one of them faint? But it wasn’t just one person.’

Like a day laborer carrying a heavy load on his back.

He was carrying three people who seemed to have fainted and were struggling heavily.

A bizarre sight. This was also the first time in the history of the Forest of Enchantment trials that something like this had happened.

A student who had approached Instructor Bahamut gasped for breath as he placed the group he had been carrying on the ground.

“Gasp gasp… .”

“Are you an applicant? Why are you carrying three people?”

“That… I happened to meet a high-level corrupted spirit while we were taking a test together. That’s why everything happened… .”

“You encountered a high-level spirit? Did you defeat it?”

“Oh, no. He ran away.”

“I didn’t even know I was in the center, so I was in trouble.”

It happened often.

Fools who chase after places with strong yin energy and, without even knowing that they have entered the center, encounter high-level corrupted spirits.

These students were in sharp contrast to the student named Cain Barbo, who had previously brought four fairy tears.

‘Of course, the spirit’s tears ran away without being found.’

Instructor Bahamut sighed and spoke to the student in front of him.

“Did you bring the fairy’s tears?”

“Oh, yes! There is! The one that passed out too.”

“… You brought it?”

“Yes. Here… Ahem.”

clattering.

The student in front of me took out a bunch of shiny things from his bag.

A jewel-like crystal with a blue glow that exudes strong yin and magical energy.

They were all fairy tears.

Instructor Bahamut began to doubt whether what he was seeing with his own eyes was real.

My mouth is wide open.

There seemed to be about 40 of them.

“What is this… all?”

“These are the tears of a fairy.”

“No, that’s something we all know….”

“… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

The student in front of him started to notice because of Instructor Bahamut’s reaction.

Professor Venice, who was taking notes of the applicants, approaches them, curious about what was going on.

“Instructor. What the- GASP!”

Then, he screamed in shock, unable to believe what he was witnessing before his eyes.

“No, what is all this!”

***

After the final exams, rumors about Cyan, Tia, Aria, and Lucy spread quickly within the Academy.

[Ariel’s history has seen the most applicants! The fairy’s tears brought…]

About 40 of them.

This is the first case in the history of Ariel Academy, which has a 300-year history!

They are all Cyan and Aria from the Sword Club, Tia from the Spirit Club, and Lucy from the Alchemy Club.

We believe that the fairy tears we brought will make a great contribution to the development of the Academy.

At this point, there is a theory going around that they caused some spirits to become corrupted…

The large stuffed Cyan party is also in the Academy archives.

‘I’m going to have a headache! What is this?’

Because of that, Xi’an was having a headache.

He forgot that he was racing to finish the exam quickly in a hectic situation.

‘I should have thrown away the fairy’s tears little by little!’

The students looking at the blueprint in the swordsmanship classroom have unusual eyes.

“That guy… is that the rumored Si-an? It’s not someone with the same name, is it?”

“The name Shian is common, but… there’s no one else like him in the swordsmanship club.”

“I feel like there’s something different about his aura. He ignores me when I talk to him, so I thought he was rejecting me because I’m handsome….”

“He was originally living in another dimension. How could he catch our eye? He’s a prodigy who defeated Ignis in just 29 seconds….”

‘Heh heh… Heh heh heh.’

Cyan laughed hollowly.

I had given up now. I had promised myself not to stand out.

The world was oppressing him.

In the first test, he gained attention for his exquisite timing and enlightenment.

In the second test, an accident occurred and Ignis was destroyed in 29 seconds.

I thought I would just do well enough to get an A grade on the third test… .

’40 fairy tears? This is an impossible feat even in the original… Hehehe.’

What was the purpose of not standing out?

It was because of the confrontation with Cain.

Cain is the son of Barbo, the upper-class family in the story. His information power will be overwhelmingly higher than that of other families.

Also, the main character Cain’s personality is one where he has to overcome any wall he sees.

Because of this incident, he might want to investigate himself out of curiosity. No, he might have already figured out his true identity.

The expression on Cain’s face when I met him last time while having lunch with Lucy and Aria. He looked very upset as he looked at me.

Perhaps he acted that way because he had figured out his true identity.

‘Let it be…fuck.’

It was at that time that I was waiting in a daze for class to end.

“That’s it, this is the last class. Thank you for your hard work. Starting from the second year, I will be seeing you in other classes.”

Iris finished her last theory class.

A student shouted at Iris.

“Professor Iris! Which class will you be teaching?!”

“It’s not decided yet. I might teach in the second-year B class. The previous professor of this class was originally supposed to be in charge of the B class….”

After that, students who seemed to have some regrets continued to ask Iris questions, and Iris answered them all.

Of course, Cyan didn’t hear it, and when he came to his senses, Iris had already left the classroom.

Sian felt eyes on her from somewhere. When she turned her head, Hedy was looking at her.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Why is that?

Hedy’s expression looked strange. It seemed as if she had something to say, or that she was just staring calmly.

Soon, Hedy averted her gaze and left the classroom. There was no time to think about what the situation just now meant.

My mind was in a state of confusion, but as soon as Hedi left, the door to the classroom where Sian was left alone slammed open.

“Xian! You’re here! I opened my eyes and I’m a star! What the…!”

“Mr. Xi’an! Let’s talk!”

It seemed that Aria and Lucy, who had been passed out in the infirmary, came to find Cyan as soon as they woke up.
