henna del chior.
She was the only princess of the Duchy of Del Chior, and was an impressive girl with red hair as bright as a blazing fire..
Although he had the impression of being harsh and authoritative, he was surprisingly easy-going and easy-going, and had a dark and cruel attitude toward the world..
“what's the matter?”
Henna looked up at Abel with eyes as red as her hair..
Then he lowered his head to follow Abel's gaze and then said with an awkward smile:.
“Ah, this?”
She continued, pointing to the pattern on her ankle..
“It's been there since I was young. It's not ugly?”
“huh? no. at all.”
Abel came to his senses from her words and hurriedly answered..
“I feel like I want to erase it, but no matter what method I try, it won't go away. In fact, it seems to have gotten darker recently..”
Abel opened his mouth slightly and then closed it..
I wanted to ask in detail when the last time was, but I couldn't..
There was no need to remember the knowledge of the game..
Just looking at the henna, it was a face that I didn't want to talk about in detail about the pattern..
Henna immediately pulled down her pants again and stood up..
“Anyway, it's really scary. How could you kick someone in the shin so mercilessly??”
“What are the circumstances of recognition? I saw you moving your left hand back then.?”
Of course Abel didn't kick his shin for no reason..
He moved reflexively when he saw Henna trying to hit his side with his left hand..
“It's not? I've never done that before?”
Actually, I just pulled out the henna..
“okay. With that out of the way, I'll do it one more time?”
“no. Who made my shins sore?.”
“That's it, that's enough Then I'll go straight to the dormitory.?”
“Wash first”
“Well then, let’s take a shower and then see you for a bit..”
At Abel’s words, a question mark appeared on Henna’s face..
Abel casually added something to the boy's expression as if he was suddenly acting like this..
“Could you please look at my study from last time? It's going to get busier from now on, so let's just get this done quickly..”
Henna said with a smile on his face..
“Why do you always say you don't have time??”
“If you keep complaining, it will just go away.?”
“Hey, it's me. Then I'll wash up and go straight to the first floor..”
“okay. I have to go take a shower right away too..”
After concluding the conversation, Abel immediately parted ways with Henna and went to wash up..
I was originally planning to train later today, but I had no choice but to change my schedule..
This is because the pattern engraved on Henna's ankle was confirmed..
‘It's much darker than expected.’
Even after washing up, Abel kept thinking about her pattern..
In the original game, the time she ran wild was right before the exam..
But there are still a few weeks left until the exam. If you think about it, the progress was so fast..
‘Did something affect it??’
Abel recalled the memories of the past few weeks. But she couldn't pinpoint anything..
‘I'll have to sneak a question while helping you study..’
Abel first came to that conclusion, changed his clothes, and headed to the first floor..
After about 10 minutes of waiting, Henna appeared with her hair still wet..
“I waited a long time?”
“no. Just arrived. I brought something to study?”
“of course!”
Henna answered and showed the books in her hands..
Most of them were related to strategy, but henna was a particularly weak subject..
“okay. Let's go right away.”
Abel took her to the library and sat down in a corner..
“What part do you not understand??”
“There are a lot of things I don't understand, but the most difficult part is the grand strategy? Especially I don't understand this part.?”
Henna opened the book and started asking questions about things she didn't know..
Even if there were other purposes, on the surface it was to help her study, so Abel answered her questions faithfully..
When almost 2 hours had passed.
“Ugh. I'm going to break my head?”
“Hmm. Two hours have passed. Should I take a break??”
“huh!”
Henna smiled and nodded. Abel said to her casually as he closed her book..
“You will go home after the exam?”
“house? well… … . I don't know when it's vacation time, but this holiday is only a week so it's vague..”
The academy's academic schedule divides the year into two semesters, and taking two exams within one semester was the same as elsewhere..
But there was one big difference.…….
‘Divide between failing and passing based on test scores.’
In other words, there could be students who fail before the end of one semester..
That's why I took a week off after the midterm exams..
Students who fail pack up and leave, and students who pass take a week to regroup and then return to class..
And the period after the midterm exam was much shorter than before..
This is because the final exam was conducted in a format that was exactly similar to the practical training..
Unlike the midterm exam, which combines an overall evaluation of theory and previous practice scores to give a comprehensive grade, during the final exam, students were divided into several groups and moved to different areas to perform assigned tasks..
If you complete that mission, you pass..
If you fail, you also fail..
“Abel?”
“Oh sorry. I was thinking about something else for a moment. What did you say?”
“I asked you what you were going to do.”
“I don't really go home. But I think I'll probably go out. I have some business to do.”
“Hmm, if I'm bored, I'll go out with you. I also brought Daniel and May..”
“Why does the story work like that??”
Hena just grinned at Abel's question..
In response, Abel shook his head and started talking about something else..
“Well, that aside. Have you ever felt anything strange lately??”
“strange feeling?”
“huh.”
Abel added a few words to Henna, who was puzzled by the sudden question..
“Strangely, I felt a little heavy after going to practice..”
“Isn't that because of the injury? You had to recuperate for a few days..”
“It seems like that. But recently, I suddenly started having nightmares..”
“nightmare?”
“huh. The instructor said that it may have been influenced by the experience of taking part in the actual battle, but it still felt quite uncomfortable..”
Henna’s expression changed strangely at those words..
Abel asked without missing the change in expression..
“you didn't have anything like that?”
“me? I am…….”
Henna was about to answer but suddenly closed her mouth. And then after a while she cautiously opened her mouth..
“The nightmare... … I had a dream about it recently.”
“What was it about??”
“that is… … Umm.”
Abel suppressed the urge to urge and waited for her to answer..
Fortunately, Henna opened her mouth again after a while..
“I had a dream about something that looked like a snake crawling up my ankle, and the giant god we saw looked exactly like a snake, right? So I thought it might be because of that..”
“It's a snake. if… … the snake wasn't black?”
“what?”
Henna was startled by Abel’s question..
“Well, how do you know that??”
“I also had a similar dream. Dream of a black snake crawling up your body.”
“really?”
Henna's eyes were shaking violently..
Abel pushed further before she came to her senses..
“The snake is crawling up my ankle, and as the days go by, it climbs higher and higher. Recently, it has risen almost to my chest... … He even mumbled something..”
“Well, by the way?”
“I didn't understand what they were saying. She felt strangely distant.”
Abel, who had talked up to that point, continued speaking in a heavy voice..
“But I thought that maybe, as time passes and the snake climbs to a higher place, I might be able to understand what it means..”
“Me too, I was like that too. It's the same as the dream I had yesterday where a snake crawled up almost to my chest..”
Henna said to Abel with a pale face:.
Looking at her appearance, it was clear that although she had not shown it until now, a recent nightmare was putting a lot of pressure on her..
Of course, Abel had never had a nightmare like that..
I'm just reciting what's in the game..
But Henna, who had no way of knowing that, was already completely trusting Abel's words..
Sympathy and fear were clearly visible on his face..
‘Anyway, it's definitely progressed a lot..’
The fact that it came up to the chest was an important hint..
Abel was lost in thought with a stiff face..
‘Amazing magical aptitude and sensitivity. And a special power runs through her blood.’
There is something I contacted a few months ago.’.
That was the cause of the symptoms that henna is currently showing..
And now that we've come this far, it's impossible to make those symptoms disappear..
If he wanted to do that, he would have had to prevent contact with anything at all, but that was beyond Abel's ability..
‘The important thing is to make the runaway as weak as possible. And the timing is controlled..’
The best case scenario was to move on to inconsequential happenings..
In the worst case scenario, Henna could have been expelled from school or lost his life..
Of course, what Abel was aiming for was the former..
But for that to happen, several conditions had to come first..
It was good to find out how far Henna's symptoms had progressed right away, but what was important was what happened next..
‘We need to ensure that the runaway progresses at a time as close to the original scenario as possible..’
Abel organized his thoughts in his head and opened his mouth..
“There's one more thing the instructor told me about nightmares..”
“what is that?”
“That's right…….”
Abel leaned forward and said.
“I train every day until I'm exhausted..”
“huh?”
“So I was thinking, why don't you train with me every day from now on??”
“Yes?”
“There's nothing you can do if you don't like it.”
At Henna's blank reaction, Abel leaned back and said,.
“I recently found some medicine that is good for nightmares, and I was thinking of giving that away as well. There's nothing you can do if you don't like it.”
“no! I didn't say I didn't like it.?”
Henna hurriedly waved her hand away, hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth..
“You have to train every day until you're exhausted.?”
“huh. You definitely said that. If your body is tired, you can't dream..”
With those words, Henna looked like she was going to die..
She wasn't particularly lazy or anything. On the contrary, she was very sincere..
However, I did not like physical training that much..
Since my main weapon was a magic gun, I tended to spend most of my time training in magic..
“……okay.”
However, the nightmare must have bothered her enough that she eventually accepted Abel's offer..
Abel smiled warmly at him and said,.
“So let’s say we will practice from 9 to 12 every day from now on..”
“Yeah, yeah. Then rest early today…….”
“What are you talking about? I should finish studying and go.”
Abel, who firmly stopped Henna, immediately opened the book..
Henna's face immediately looked gloomy..
Of course, Abel didn't care..
‘It will be easy to check the progress if you look at it every day..’
I had to stick around for Henna's sake..
The reason Abel let her go was after she had reviewed two thick books..
and the next day.
“Abel.”
An unexpected person came to visit Abel..
“Did you have a good time at the practice??”
It was Scarlett Klein..
