I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 79

Elin’s Choice

‘no way… !’

Elin looks at the powder with disbelief eyes.

This is the Dark Forest.

Even if the academy had set up a safe area, it was natural that it would be dangerous if the monsters flocked to it at once.

Besides, the place where Louis’s party is now is at the end of the practice evaluation area.

What if a demon appears outside the area?

It was too risky.

Even Louie and his party members should be sleeping right now.

Even if you have a necklace, there is a risk of being attacked by the Witchbeast before you even use it.

Even if you activate the shield with the necklace, what if the assistant doesn’t arrive until the maintenance time ends?

No, what if a dangerous monster appears and breaks the shield?

There have been too many worst cases imaginable.

Erin could be sure.

That Leo had decided to kill Louis’ party.

‘How can a person called a hero candidate… No, how could a person do this… ‘

It’s not like we were in the same class, and we were having a party together.

Even if he and Leo are enemies, does that mean that Leo doesn’t even care about the lives of others?

And even more desperate than that.

Although he knew all the facts, he was in a situation where he could not disobey Leo’s words.

Elin pondered and pondered.

Even if Leo ordered it, in the end it is himself who executes it.

But what if we just go back here and say no to Leo?

Leo is already disappointed with himself because of the last duel.

If I refused him this time, I knew that my relationship with him was really over.

And when that happens, the world capital ends.

The Great Forest and the elves will all come to an end.

Although the death of the World Tree doesn’t mean that the elves will die right away.

How could elves live without a world tree?

The moment the World Tree died, the devastation of the great forest and the downfall of the elves were confirmed.

It’s your choice now.

That immense pressure came too heavy for Elin.

In the end, Elin had only one choice.

Flying the powder in the sack with wind magic.

The faces of the party members appeared in Elin’s mind.

Although they always said that they were inferior people.

Excluding Leo and the saintess, it was Elin who felt closeness to the party members who were lowly humans.

Of course, it wasn’t like an elf, and she was shy, so she never showed it.

Again, Elin remembered Louis.

I had no choice but to give up because of Leo.

The face of Louis, whom he still liked.

Elin bit her lip.

Yeah, though Elin couldn’t let the elves down.

At least he couldn’t let Louis and his party members die like this.

What Elin could choose was a timid rebellion against Leo.

Fortunately, there was someone who was vigilant at Louis’ party.

The blonde waitress, Felice Ansberg.

She was sitting still, but maybe she smelled the powder.

Elin could even see Felice flinched for a moment.

But Felice did not move immediately.

It was a stimulant scent to a beast, but to a human, it was so faint that it was hard to feel anything strange.

Elin made up her mind and broke the branch next to her.

If Louis’ party survives because he warned in advance, will Leo blame himself?

I do not know.

Even if Louie’s party survives, will Leo grant his wish?

I’m not sure about that, but I still have to warn you.

Elin tossed the broken branch towards Louis’s party.

Felice quickly got up from her seat and shouted something while being wary of her surroundings.

break the tree branch again.

Elin threw the twig once more, in case they overlooked his warning.

The other party members who woke up at Felice’s cry also checked the second branch she threw.

Finally, Elin pressed the button on the mechanism Leo gave her.

I don’t know what kind of device this is, but it’s definitely not a good thing.

However, because of Leo’s order, there was no choice.

As soon as I pressed the button, I felt a wave spreading in all directions.

Light flashed from the mana stone in the center, but as Leo had told him beforehand, he held it in his chest and pressed it, so the light did not leak out.

With that at the end, Elin left.

If she hadn’t forewarned, Louie’s party would have surely died.

Perhaps Leo must have granted her wish.

If Louis and the party members survived, it seemed like Leo wouldn’t keep his promise.

Nevertheless, it was Elin who desperately wanted them to survive.

‘I’d rather activate the necklace immediately and be eliminated from the practice evaluation, Louis.’

At least if the Academy’s assistants, instructors, and professors came, it would be safe.

With that in mind, Elin went back to Leo.

—

“Everyone get up!”

Felice’s shout was heard.

Although I was sleepy, I quickly got up from my seat and picked up the sword that was placed by my bedside.

Is it because of the sand ghost attack on the first day?

Perhaps the other party members were also very sensitive, so everyone got up quickly.

“What happened… ”

While the master spoke in a sleepy voice.

tuk.

Something fell on the floor.

‘… branch?’

“Again.”

Felicity muttered.

“what?”

“Someone just threw a branch.”

“What does that mean… ”

“Keek!”

My words were buried in a terrible cry.

“Masuda!”

“Watch out everyone! Felice, this way!”

Felice glanced around and carefully stepped back towards us.

We stood back to back in a circle and began to look out for our son-in-law.

“Master, do you know where it is?”

At my words, Master glances at a tree in the distance.

“It’s over there, but the current situation isn’t good for chasing.”

“Is it a demon?”

“No, they look like people.”

However, as Master said.

Things didn’t go well for us to have a conversation about someone who seemed to have thrown a branch at us.

“Grrr… ”

Eerie noises are heard from all directions.

Between the bushes, the dark eyes glowed everywhere.

“Felice, watch out for Veronica. baby, you’re with us Things are different now than when I was on assignment.”

Although Aine’s role at the time of the assignment was to deal with the Beast separately like Master.

With Aine’s ability, in the present situation, if she fell, she would surely die.

“Master… ”

“Don’t worry. It is the best stage for me.”

Even Master’s voice trembled a little.

“Everyone be careful. Because of this smell, the witch beasts are now insane.”

Master says.

It was a faint smell that you wouldn’t notice if you weren’t paying close attention…

“Well, when were the witch beasts sane!”

“Keek!”

Awesome!

“Kill them all!”

I cut off the head of the monster that rushed in front of me.

“I wish you luck, children!”

“Veronica, stay behind me!”

“Yes, Felice!”

Quang!

The fireworks fired by Veronica brighten the forest.

Filling the sword with mana, I began to cut down the demonic beasts that rushed at me.

Aine’s dagger slashed at the magical beasts that came between them.

Into the darkness, the beasts we have not touched fall one by one to Master’s sword.

Even so, there were too many of them.

“Felice, give me a second!”

After Veronica has said those words, she closes her eyes and enters the chant.

“I will risk my life to protect it.”

Felice resolutely grabs her sword and stands with Veronica covered with her own body.

As I slashed her with my sword and blocked the attack of the beast with my body, I saw her and shouted.

“Aine, support Felice!”

The dagger fired by Aine is stabbed in the forehead of the hound who is aiming for the nape of Felice’s neck.

I slashed the hounds that rushed from behind them, and kicked and smashed the goblins.

“… Come, fire.”

Finally, Veronica’s chanting is over.

gurgling.

A veil of blazing flames enveloped our backs.

The heat was hot, thanks to the flames that surrounded us in the shape of a semicircle.

The beasts took a step back and returned to the open place.

Thanks to that, it was easier to endure.

“Kiaah!”

A gigantic goblin with its stomach ripped by my sword screams, visceral.

That momentary gap, where the path of the demonic beasts was blocked by the staggering size.

I cried.

“There is no end! How long will these damn things… ”

“Louis, not forever! This incense is what summons the demonic beasts!”

“yes?”

Me and Felice blocked the beast in front.

While Veronica backs up with magic, Aine kills the monsters that escape between the two of us.

I was holding out with such a well-equipped camp, but what do you mean by this?

The part that the clothes couldn’t cover, Felice’s body was already full of scars.

Aine, too, was clearly tired.

They were not strong monsters, but their number was far off.

If you cut three at the same time, five of them rushed at you.

“Then run away… ”

“It’s already full of monsters everywhere! Louie, you need to use the necklace… ”

Without even finishing speaking, Master swung the dagger again.

Damn, what if Sally gave up on a practice test with a necklace?

We’re almost done in their lab…

“Sigh!”

This time, it wasn’t the beast, it was Felice’s scream.

Pulling out the sword stuck in the hound’s head, I instinctively turned to her.

“Felice!”

I grabbed another hound biting her arm with mana in my hand.

“I, I am fine… ”

“Back first!”

Now, I was in charge of the front row by myself.

Master was busy just dealing with the demonic beasts that passed me along with Aine.

In the face of endlessly flocking beasts, I finally made a decision.

About the laboratory in the Black Magic Tower, speak directly to the professor.

It was something I didn’t know about in the first place, and I’m sure it would be suspicious.

‘Then go and think about it!’

Anyway, the lives of party members come first.

“Activate all necklaces!”

I cried like that.

But.

“Lou, Louie! The necklace is not working!”
