“huh.”
“We can all go out and play together.?”
“of course. Because there are more than one or two villas. Just tell me in advance.”
“oh. It's okay?”
Daniel nodded and looked at Abel..
“how?”
“It's good for me. Anyway, I haven’t decided on where to go..”
“Then it's decided. I'll ask the other kids too.”
“okay. I'll tell you too then. Probably no problem.”
The story of going out to play came to an end, and after that, small talk took place..
As we walked and talked, we soon arrived in front of the dormitory, but before going inside, Henna opened her mouth..
“Abel. Let's talk for a moment.”
“huh? what story?”
Henna looked at Daniel for a moment and then spoke again..
“Not here. Two of us.”
“ah…….”
Daniel, who was quietly listening to the conversation, immediately took his foot off the hook and said..
“I'll be there first! See you in the training room!”
Daniel went straight into the dormitory without any chance of catching him, and Abel turned his head again and said to Henna..
“Let's sit over there and talk..”
“huh.”
The two walked again and sat down on the chairs around the dormitory..
And then silence came.
This was because Hena, who had asked to talk first, kept her mouth shut..
Abel could guess why they had called him separately, so he didn't press for it..
Henna only opened her mouth after a while..
“that… … . at that time. you helped me?”
“Ah, yes.”
Abel nodded..
Hena probably doesn't remember what happened at the time clearly either..
At that time, I lost consciousness for a long time due to a violent outburst, and even when I woke up, I was still half in a dazed state..
Still, you probably remember holding hands and running..
Henna twitched her lips for a moment, then lowered her head and said:.
“……woah.”
“huh?”
Abel turned his head at the sound he couldn't hear, then raised his head again and made eye contact with Henna..
“thank you. For helping me.”
“Well, well. It wasn't a big deal.”
“It's no big deal. I don't remember much, but I do remember that I almost died..”
“Well, what…….”
“I wanted to say that. And this.”
Henna took something out of her pocket and handed it to Abel..
It was a small box, but I don't know what was inside, but it was quite heavy..
“I'll go in later and open it..”
“okay.”
Abel did not necessarily refuse.
Henna stood up with a sigh of relief only after seeing that Abel had received it and put it in his arms..
“Sorry for holding you back for so long. I'll see you tomorrow!”
“huh. Go in well.”
“okay!”
Henna jumped up from her seat and hurriedly walked away..
Abel looked at her back, then slowly stood up and walked away as well..
Not long after, Abel arrived at the dormitory room, took the box out of his pocket and opened it..
sweet-.
The box opened with a small sound and inside was an ornament made of metal..
“This…….”
Abel recognized its identity without difficulty..
An object commonly called a talisman, simply put, it was a kind of talisman..
A talisman meant to bring good luck or protect the owner..
“It's a talisman.”
Abel did not put the talisman back, but put it in the inside pocket of his jacket..
Last time, I wasn't just thinking about henna..
Because I had a greater desire to prevent it from spreading into a bigger disaster..
But when I received this thank you, I didn't feel bad..
Abel smiled slightly..
* * *
“Phew.”
Henna breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to her dorm room..
Could it be said that it looks like he came back after finishing a big job?.
Henna stood in the doorway for a while, then flopped down on the bed and muttered..
“Look, did you see it??”
It's already been about ten minutes since I returned from thanking Abel..
Abel had probably returned to his room a long time ago. And of course she opened the box too.
‘You must have seen it.’
Henna wiggled her fingers for no reason..
It wasn't the first time I expressed gratitude to someone or gave them a gift, but somehow my heart pounded..
Of course Henna knew the reason. very well too.
‘that day…….’
After the incident.
Henna had to immediately undergo a physical examination and other investigations..
Contrary to the externally announced reason, she was the cause of this incident..
I remembered henna.
‘I suddenly felt dizzy.’
Strangely, my heart seemed to be racing, and at some point, an uncontrollable force surged from within me..
Henna was embarrassed and tried hard to control her power, but ultimately failed..
Rather, as time passed, my body lost strength and my consciousness became clouded, so I couldn't do anything..
When I lost consciousness in such despair.
she saw a bright light.
A brightly shining light.
The light warmly enveloped her and whispered into her ear..
-henna.
The voice in my ear was filled with deep concern..
It was immediately after that that the anxiety weighing down my body disappeared..
The voice continued to speak to her, and Henna also answered something..
‘I don't remember the details of the conversation, but.’
I tried to recall the conversation much later, but unfortunately I couldn't remember any of it..
But I remembered that the more we talked, the clearer my mind became..
And when I finally came to my senses.
Abel was standing there..
-Henna! are you okay?
That voice was the one that brought Henna out of the darkness..
“Ugh.”
Henna recalled Abel's appearance at that time and crouched down with a painful voice..
Strangely, it was like this every time I thought of Abel..
My face was red and my heart was pounding strangely. Plus the tips of her fingers tickled.
I tried to ignore it and say it was nothing, but today I met Abel for the first time in a long time and realized..
That it's nothing.
Even though I said hello as usual, my heart was pounding without mercy..
When we were talking in front of the dormitory, my face turned so red that I wanted to hide somewhere..
Henna remembered that time and buried her face in the pillow..
For some reason, I thought I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep early again today..
* * *
weekend morning.
After Abel finished eating, he went straight to the front of the dormitory building..
It was because I had an appointment today..
‘Are you here yet??’
Since there was some time left until the appointed time, Abel stood on one side and looked up at the sky..
The sky was very clear without a single cloud..
‘It's perfect weather to go out.’
I didn't go out to have fun, but I still felt good because the weather was nice..
“Abel.”
When you're thinking like that. A familiar voice was heard from not far away..
When I lowered my head, Iolin was standing there..
“huh. good morning.”
“Good morning.”
Iolin received a light greeting and pointed outside..
“Should I go??”
“OK.”
Abel walked lightly..
As we stood side by side and walked towards the carriage, as expected, I felt eyes from all over..
‘Is it inevitable?…….’
Not to mention Iolin, in fact Abel also received a lot of attention..
I don't know anything else, but when it comes to Gigant, it was because he had the image of being first among first-year students in name and reality..
When training together at the training ground, other people seem to have gotten used to it and pay less attention, but when Abel and Iolin are walking together outside like this, everyone's attention is focused on them..
‘I need to get used to this kind of attention..’
Considering Abel's goal, he will receive more attention in the future, not less..
Although I didn't show it outwardly anymore, I couldn't help but feel a burden..
When you're thinking like that. Iolin, who had been quiet, spoke up..
“Abel.”
“huh?”
“I don't have any regrets about my recent training.?”
It was a sudden question, but Abel answered it without difficulty..
“Not really. On the contrary, I am very satisfied..”
Iolin learned how to use magic from Abel, and Abel learned swordsmanship from Iolin..
Iolin's method of teaching Abel was mainly sparring, which was of great help to Abel..
“Although I had some actual combat experience, I was weak in straight attack techniques..”
“Hmm. It definitely felt like that..”
“yes?”
Some people believe that swordsmanship trained in actual combat is the best..
But even if it is wrong, it is definitely a wrong perception..
‘Then swordsmanship wouldn't have developed in the first place..’
If actual combat is the best, then those who have been active mercenaries for over 10 years will be able to defeat most knights..
But that doesn't happen.
In the first place, swordsmanship is the study of how to defeat an opponent more efficiently..
In that respect, Abel's swordsmanship left much to be desired..
Although I learned a few techniques, they were nothing compared to Iolin, who had systematically learned swordsmanship since childhood..
Iolin slowly opened his mouth..
“But your skills are not something that can be treated as mere residual talent. Because there were many times when it felt threatening..”
“Thank you for saying that..”
“I'm serious.”
Iolin answered briefly, paused for a moment, and then opened her mouth..
“Then you didn’t have any regrets when teaching me.?”
“When I teach you?”
“huh.”
She nodded slightly and said.
“Dealing with mana isn't that easy. It's okay when using swordsmanship…….”
“Hmm.”
Abel easily understood her feelings..
Iolin's talent related to mana was by no means poor. Rather, it could be said to be quite high ranking..
The problem was that the academy was full of talented people..
‘Iolin's swordsmanship skills are top-notch. Gigant's talent is also top-notch. On the other hand, mana is at mid-to-high level..’
On the other hand, there were several people with monstrous talents in the Mana field..
For example, henna.
Although henna had not yet gained much prominence, it actually had tremendous potential..
‘Later on, he carried around a siege magic gun and fired it..’
So it was no wonder that Iolin felt impatient..
Because she has a strong competitive spirit to begin with.
“Horsepower management is important for Gigant Riders for two reasons..”
Abel said calmly.
“The first is Gigant operating time. The more efficiently you use horsepower, the more stable it can be operated for a longer period of time even with the same amount. So what do you think about the second one??”
“Because of the explosive power of a moment... … is not it?”
“that's right. To operate it for a long time, simply increase the horsepower. But explosive power is a different matter..”
That's probably why Iolin is worried about using magic power..
Therefore, Abel continued speaking by pointing out exactly that point..
“It must be frustrating because what I'm focusing on teaching you right now is the basics..”
“Well, that's not it..”
“Nope. For the time being, I will focus on explosive power. Of course, you have to continue training the basics separately..”
“……thank you.”
Abel said with a grin at Iolin's gratitude..
“okay. Then, let’s pay attention to the artifacts we buy today..”
“okay. Oh, the carriage is over there..”
As we walked and talked, the carriage stop was just around the corner..
Abel got on the carriage that Iolin had prepared in advance, and soon the carriage moved slowly and left the academy..
It was the moment when their first trip to the countryside was just beginning..
