Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 283

Maybe it was because I was a little busy talking to Siegfried, then going home and telling Asilier to be careful that the area around her could be noisy due to devil worshipers. The day goes by quickly and it's almost time to start the cockroach eradication operation..

However, I didn't move from early in the morning. Because unlike me and Siegfried, students had to take classes. No matter how much trouble I had to take, I would lose face later if I skipped class, and I also had work to complete during the remaining time, so I made this decision..

And now that the appointment time was approaching, Seneran, who had just finished the private lesson, asked me while wiping the glasses he was wearing..

"I've been helping you with this since I asked you to focus on it, but... How are you going to use this? You haven't even learned magic yet.."

The theory I have been learning intensively over the past few days has yielded very satisfactory results after several rounds of verification and experimentation. From the day I heard from Esselua that she might be connected to demons, I learned it in a bit of a hurry by asking both my teacher and Seneran, but fortunately, I was able to do it even without knowledge and magic organs, so there were no particular obstacles in learning. There was no.

In fact, maybe it was because of the sparring with Siegfried last time, but it was much easier. Thinking that I might be the type of person who learns by rolling around with my body, I picked up the sword I had next to me and connected it with magic, and I felt that the connection was so natural that it was incomparable to before..

"It's the perfect technique for dealing with demons.."

Since I had nothing to hide now, I answered calmly, and the teacher, who was looking at the contents I had organized while studying, tilted his head and asked:.

"Magic spread? At best, this is just a color application.?"

"Hmm, I'd rather see this in person... That would be better. That's an apple."

I thought it would be quicker to see it with my own eyes, so I pointed at the apple I had bought as a snack while holding my sword, and Seneran and Master's eyes naturally turned towards it. Meanwhile, Seneran's eyes began to shine, not knowing what I was trying to do. He is truly passionate about anything related to magic..

"This is a method I used to cut off the head of a demon I met when I flew through the gate in the Empire... If you connect magic power to the scabbard and the sword separately, and use the connected magic power as a bridgehead to intervene in the body and head of the target using magic, you can get interesting results. came out."

Just by slightly pushing up the cross guard with the thumb, the sword was pulled out without much resistance. And almost at the same time, the apples burst! And it split in half..

"Since this is an apple, it was easy without much resistance, but the demons are a bit more difficult...."

"for a moment. Wait a minute."

I tried to continue the explanation naturally, but Seneran stopped me with an urgent voice and looked at the apple and the sword alternately with a serious expression on his face. Then, she suddenly walked up to the table and eagerly touched the other apples, reacting like a spectator trying to figure out a magic trick, before slowly turning to me..

"Really?"

"There's no reason to lie about something like this out of nowhere.."

Is something strange? I looked at the teacher to see if anything, and his reaction was even more surprised than Seneran's..

"What is this......"

...It seems strange. Seneran shouted before I had time to adjust to their reaction..

"Holy crap! It's not even Majanggeum, but it uses only magical power to exert physical force.?!"

"Uh... I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it seems a little different because this isn't the concept of squeezing with an invisible hand, but connecting magical power with magical power.?"

It seemed like there was a misunderstanding, so I brought it up to correct it, but it had the opposite effect. Seneran, who heard what I said, looked at Master with an expression of bewilderment, and this time Master muttered as if he had heard the world falling apart..

"They say that they interfere with external magic... with their own magic without a spell....?"

Whatever it was, I don't think it was something to be taken lightly..

◈

In the end, after a huge commotion, I left the professor's office and arrived at the meeting place, about 5 minutes late from the scheduled time. As I approached the 10 or so friendly faces gathered in one corner of the well-maintained garden, waving moderately, Cheryl said with a sullen expression on her face..

"It's late."

"Something happened."

The desire to say that I was late because I was caught by the people who had sold their souls to the research arose, but for the sake of their honor, I decided to leave it as my fault. Still, I get something for free, so I have to pass on this..

I don't know if it was because she took the initiative to question me, but the others didn't particularly question me. Maybe it was because I was nervous without knowing it that I didn't even have the time to do so, but I brightened the mood by saying what I had planned in advance..

"Sorry for late. Cheryl has already been informed of the situation. Originally, I think it would be right to leave this to the military or the Holy Knights... but since the students of the academy are involved in the incident, there is nothing we can do for the sake of everyone's honor.."

Unlike the Imperial Academy, the vast majority of the Kingdom Academy are nobles or similarly wealthy people. Honor was a very important factor to them, and Cheryl moved the students based on this and worked hard to set the stage so that it would not be strange for me and Siegfried to move..

"Still, since I couldn't send you alone to the underground waterway where I don't know what could be lurking after the devil worshipers went into hiding, I decided to enlist the help of a warrior I am personally acquainted with to accompany me. I made this decision because I might be dealing with the devil, so I hope you don't feel offended.."

The five people who had gathered in exactly the order of their practical subjects nodded with an 'Ah' expression as if they understood why the warrior party was here after listening to me. Only then did Siegfried, who was acting awkward and drawing a strange line between them, raise his hand and say hello to them. I left the detailed explanation of the plan to Cheryl and approached Siegfried and spoke quietly..

"As expected, you're good at acting because you used to be the bad guy in the empire.."

"So, how many people did I trick there? This isn't even a problem."

Siegfried, who was joking calmly but still had a sullen expression on his face, took out his great sword and draped it over his shoulder to hide his face, before showing his meticulous smile..

"But will you be okay? You never know what kind of devil you might meet."

"Even if we can't split up and move as planned, we still have enough room to run away and make contact. I also plan to move a little faster than others.."

For that purpose, the warrior party and six students were divided into two halves to form a team. To be honest, I thought about making another team by adding only a saint to Siegfried, but I was afraid that the energetic students might not understand the topic and charge somewhere far away, so I decided to hold out. Whatever it is, the hero party has a reputation, so they won't ignore them and try to charge..

But it seems that wasn't what the hero was worried about..

"No, not that one. My brother. Will she be okay on her own?."

Laika was never far from my side, so it felt even more awkward without her, but I had already sent her home this time to contact Asilier. So, as Siegfried said, I am moving alone for the first time in a long time..

"it's okay. On the contrary, if you move together in a haphazard manner, the speed may slow down and endanger the students.."

However, I only felt that it would be a little lonely, but I wasn't anxious. It's just that I've been moving around with a lot of people lately, but I usually train myself to move more..

Because I had no plans to go on the journey to the Demon King's army with anyone. It's just not easy to take a break, but there's nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, if you go with someone, there is a possibility that you will be caught using magic, so it will be more troublesome..

"So don't worry about me and please take care of your students.."

"...Yeah, don't worry."

Siegfried had no way of knowing the inside story, but he still agreed without saying a word, probably because he believed in my abilities. Meanwhile, Cheryl, who had finished talking with the students, gestured, and I joined them with the warrior party..

I still knew the names of Griwills and Kalitz, who came in third place in the practical skills, but I couldn't remember the names of the rest. I just knew that I was in 4th, 5th, and 6th place in that order, but even if I tried to calmly think about it, I still didn't know what I didn't know..

"Cheryl, Grewils, and Kalitz accompany Princess Esselua and Entyre. 4th, 5th, 6th place. You must follow the warrior and the saint of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly. I will enter first.."

So I just pushed ahead with a shameless attitude like I showed in class. My confident attitude made me think, 'What I said back then was true.' Unlike the students who showed a moderate reaction, Siegfried opened his eyes wide, was astonished, and reacted as if he saw it as the worst scum of the world, and opened his mouth..

"Brother? Happiness is not in order of grades!"

"What are you saying again?."

"You should at least remember their names.!"

"I just keep my word."

Perhaps because they were used to imitating the friendly knights from fairy tales, the warrior party tilted their heads, feeling a sense of disparity, but since I couldn't explain it here, I just pretended not to notice and winked at Sheryl, and she understood like a ghost and naturally began the conversation. After taking over the initiative and checking the students' armament one last time, he began checking the locations and joining points to investigate with the warrior party..

Since I was traveling alone and there was nothing else I needed to know, I left them behind and entered the entrance of the manhole-like canal..
