Academy’s Second Seat

A man running through the forest in haste.

“What the hell is going on… … .”

Cedric was running, thinking that he had to go to the castle quickly.

He thought he had a purpose in his own way, but in reality it was an escape.

I couldn’t win against Gracie, so I thought I’d rather go to the castle and fight.

While Cedric was running, the gathered mercenaries scattered all over.

Those soldiers just believed in Cedric and gathered together.

However, they lost their focus when Cedric failed to cope with Gracie and ran away.

It just became a mess.

Most of the mercenaries were knocked down by Gracie’s lightning magic, and the elites who endured the magic began to run away together when they saw Cedric fleeing.

Cedric, who lost the mercenaries in such an instant, thought that he should go to the castle first.

‘Nara also went to the castle… … ! You have to make a big deal… … !’

Cedric was thinking this, but in fact, in the corner of his mind, there was a thought that he had to run away.

I can’t deal with Gracie.

No matter how much Cedric has the title of mercenary king, a mercenary is a mercenary.

He could not defeat Gracie, a talented person of the Empire.

“Ugh… … .”

Cedric left the scene quickly, and Gracie and Locke followed him.

A little bit of time passed as we ran away.

Cedric felt strange.

“By the way… … Why doesn’t the thunderbolt fall now? … ?”

Obviously, the two continued to fire electric attacks after chasing them.

Although he had been attacked several times, Cedric, who had a strong body, was on his way to escape the lightning.

However, the magic was no longer flying towards him.

He didn’t seem to have lost himself, though.

Because he saw Locke following him.

Cedric decided.

“Have you used up all your mana? … ?”

It was a good situation.

And he quickly made the decision to go to the castle.

If you go to the castle, there are rebels and there are soldiers who will betray you.

No matter how strong that wizard was, it was clear that he would have the upper hand if he went there.

Then a loud noise echoed around.

Beep-

sounds like a beep.

After that… … .

aan!!!!

A loud explosion was heard.

The direction was the front door, the side the demons were attacking.

The beep I had just heard was clearly what the rebels were talking about.

The sound made before the magic tool installed on the wall explodes.

Cedric’s expression, which had been frowned upon, widened slightly.

“Wait, are you successful?”

Cedric had hope.

Now you just have to go to the castle.

So Cedric started running at a faster pace.

A light appeared in front of Cedric as he was running.

It meant he was almost out of the woods.

If you follow that light, you will see the castle.

Cedric ran as fast as he could.

running like that… … run… … .

came out of the forest

There was a castle in front.

Cedric looked at the castle and tried to run.

“ah… … ?”

Cedric opened his mouth.

And gradually slowed down the legs that were running fast, and eventually stopped walking.

The castle wasn’t the only thing Cedric saw when he got out of the woods.

There was a man in black armor in front of him.

black armor.

The armor was the only one in the world.

The armor that Darren, a close friend, wears when dealing with monsters.

“uh… … How.”

Cedric opened his mouth and looked at him.

Click… … .

The sound of the seams of the armor clashing was heard.

Darren lifted his head and looked at Cedric.

“Long time no see. Cedric.”

“Ugh… … .”

Cedric took a step back.

I didn’t know that we would meet face to face like this.

Just when Darren was responding to the monster, he was thinking of cutting his head off.

All of a sudden… … Without even talking… … .

However, it was very disappointing to meet him like this.

“Boo, obviously… … Magic tool activates… … .”

As Cedric muttered to himself, Darren slurred his words out.

“Is that what you mean? I ordered it to be used to kill monsters.”

Before Cedric came here, he had already dealt with almost all of the monsters.

And when only finishing was left, he handed the magic tool to a trusted lieutenant.

Ordering it to explode in the middle of where there are monsters.

“Maybe I heard a popping sound, so I guess it was put to good use.”

A magical tool that was detonated when the situation was almost over.

It was clear that the soldiers who were about to betray were burned.

The magic tool designated as a signal exploded, but the wall did not collapse, but was used to finish the demons.

“Now you are the only one left.”

Darren raised his sword.

“Why did you do this? Obviously you don’t have to do this… … .”

close.

Cedric bit his molars.

and drew his sword.

“What do you know… … .”

Cedric said in a voice filled with anger.

“Do you know what I have been up to?”

“I tried to rescue the people from the lord, free the slaves, and fix the world.”

“But, nothing has changed. you don’t know how messed up the world is What do you know about being confined only in the North?”

“I saw the world. A very dirty world you don’t know.”

Darren quietly listened to Cedric’s words and then opened his mouth.

“Is that the end?”

“What?”

“I asked if you were done talking.”

Cedric’s eyes lit up at Darren’s words.

“You mean you don’t feel anything even after hearing these words!!!!!!”

Darren looked at Cedric with pity.

“So, are you saying that my residents and I have done something wrong?”

“ah… … .”

The North was not at fault.

In the northern part, monsters attacked like that, and they supported each other even in a barren situation.

Even in such a situation, I tried to make the best manor as possible somehow.

They are not guilty.

“However… … For a cause… … For freedom… … this land… … .”

“Don’t be mean.”

Darren walked forward.

“I don’t know what you want, but don’t force it on people who are doing well. The other land is the same. Even if it’s not enough right now, you can start by changing the little things. There is no reason to make a lot of sacrifices.”

There was no guarantee that such a sacrifice would yield good results.

Cedric exclaimed loudly.

“What do you know… … !!!”

Then Darren said.

“The world is already changing. From an old generation like us to a generation of new sprouts.”

Darren laughed.

“I will trust them and wait for them. May those children be planted and grow into great trees. I believe that it will become a big tree and change the world.”

Darren stood in front of Cedric.

“In order for a good tree to grow, you must pluck out the weeds around it.”

Darren held up his sword and glared at Cedric.

Cedric raised his sword towards such Darren.

A sword rose from the two swords.

Darren shook his head slightly.

At the end of his gaze, he saw Locke following Cedric.

Locke standing in front of the forest.

Darren shouted at Locke like that.

“Look, take a look. This is northern swordsmanship.”

Locke stared at him.

Watching his father wielding a sword… … .

“One sword… … .”

Northern sword.

A cold and resolute sword.

A blue sword flew around the sword.

blue flame (靑炎).

The color of the sword changes depending on the character of Mana and the swordsmanship learned.

The characteristic of the sword used by the northern family was this blue color.

However, this blue black sword was hot.

Northern swordsmanship called ice-like swordsmanship because it follows the rules and features precise movements without embellishments.

However, the sword that came out was hot.

It was a hot sword as opposed to ice-like swordsmanship.

Darren cut his sword crosswise.

Darren’s sword that doesn’t wobble at all.

The sword moved straight, as if to show his disposition.

“Blue flower.”

drawn horizontally in black.

It was a simple move.

However, the sword that cuts around was different.

A large, blue-colored sword flew towards Cedric with a sharp look.

It was a wave-like movement.

Cedric blew out the sword and tried to counter the flying sword.

Cedric’s sword was not small.

However, it was nothing compared to Darren.

“what… … .”

Cedric kept looking at Darren’s sword.

However, I had never seen such a large sword used.

He had never made this level of swordsmanship in any battle.

aa!!!

Darren’s sword swept around and reached Cedric.

Blue flames flew off the floor.

The flames were on the floor and it was dyed blue.

It’s like a field of blue flowers.

“under… … .”

Cedric saw that and lowered his sword.

It was judged that this was not an acceptable level of swordsmanship.

Darren’s blue flame hit Cedric, and Cedric’s eyes were dyed blue.

“Is it over?”

After waking up from the dream, Astina flew into the sky using telekinetic magic.

The main gate where a huge number of monsters are dead.

The back door covered in blue flames.

Rudy is walking slowly outside the castle.

Everything was well organized.

“I’m glad… … .”

If there’s one thing I regret, it’s the fact that I missed Jeffrin.

When Astina flew into the sky, I saw the bone dragon disappearing in the distance.

However, I couldn’t pursue it.

The sound of going there means hitting the enemy’s base.

He could not enter the center of the rebels alone.

“OMG… … what’s this… … .”

A person trembling in fear while being hugged by Astina.

It was Luna.

Luna was held by Astina like a princess.

Luna grabbed Astina’s neck and buried her face in her arms.

“Ah, Astina-senpai… … Oh, aren’t you scared?”

Luna asked in a trembling voice.

“I was a little scared at first too, but it got better as I continued.”

Astina looked at Luna like that and smiled mischievously.

“Then shall we go to Rudy?”

“Yes Yes? Yeah? Well, if you just go down… … .”

Luna refused even if she flew to Rudy, whom she loved so much.

However, Astina didn’t care and flew to Rudy.

at an incredibly fast pace.

“Ahhh !!!

Luna screamed out of her throat.

The scream rang out.

With that scream, the battle in the northern part came to an end.
