Academy’s Second Seat

– You say you fight a dragon and then you fight that person again?

– Then we’ll be here too.

– Rudy! What else are you going to do!

Everyone gave me pin glasses in various colors.

I sent them all elsewhere.

Fighting together would help, but that didn’t make any sense.

The reason I wanted to fight Evan wasn’t to steal his points.

I looked at Priscilla sitting next to me.

“Priscilla, can you do it?”

“If only that elephant fights properly.”

Priscilla pointed to Behemoth, who was rolling around in the distance.

“Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~”

Behemoth was rolling all over his body, wondering if he liked the mud he had made.

“Priscilla, come play too. You like to go for a walk.”

“… … Would it be okay?”

“What’s wrong, Evan isn’t coming now.”

Even if it came, there was no big problem because Priscilla could come back quickly.

“But don’t use your powers too much. Because I am tired too.”

“i get it. Just walk around and come.”

Priscilla smiled pleasantly and moved on.

I looked at the sky.

The sky was slowly setting sunset.

The red sunset was clearly visible because all the trees around it had disappeared.

When fighting a dragon, I used Priscilla’s abilities to a great extent, and I was mentally exhausted.

It was enough to freeze the entire dragon’s body, so even Priscilla seemed to have used her abilities properly after a long time.

When I fight, I try not to use Priscilla’s abilities whenever possible.

The contractors who used Priscilla were well aware of the end.

It’s well documented, and Cromwell has warned me a few times.

But Priscilla wasn’t a bad guy.

just like a dog… … no. It just felt like a dog.

I like to go for walks, and if I asked for something, he would come right away.

It was just that the contractors were not using Priscilla properly.

But if you ask me if I know how to use Priscilla well, I shake my head.

I don’t know to what extent I can use Priscilla, and it’s hard to figure out how much of a limit he has.

The consumption of mental power was not something that could be calculated numerically.

I just had to figure it out sensibly.

Even Priscilla didn’t seem to know about that standard.

“To better use Priscilla… … You should figure this out.”

He listened so well and his abilities were useful, so it seemed like he would call every fight at least once.

Now Priscilla has become a large part of my power.

So, I needed to learn how to use all of Priscilla as well as my abilities at least once.

Then I would have to learn about the spirits, but Rie was the only one around me who could handle spirits.

However, the problem was that he could not learn from Rie.

Because Priscilla and ordinary spirits were nothing more than different beings.

I thought deeply and thought of a person.

Serena.

Didn’t I mention that Rie was taught by Serena a while ago?

I heard that you were staying near the academy.

Serena’s mother was obviously Priscilla’s former contractor.

So, could Serena know something about Priscilla?

However… … .

It wasn’t Serina’s contract, but her mother’s contract, so I thought it would be of great help.

However, once this evaluation is over, I’ll have to ask.

There’s no one to ask about Priscilla except Serena… … .

I was making these and other plans by myself, but there was something I had to do first.

Dealing with Evan.

It didn’t mean there was nothing to do right now.

He just rested and waited for Evan.

***

Evan was sitting in one seat and meditating.

He is healing his body by receiving energy from the surrounding trees through ecological magic.

Then the sound of a great explosion was heard from the top of the mountain.

The sound was heard, and half the mountain was burned.

Fortunately, the other side of the mountain burned down, so it didn’t affect Evan too much.

However, it was very annoying.

To say that such a commotion occurred at the top of the mountain means that someone was fighting a dragon.

There was only one person who could fight like that.

“… … Is it Rudy Astria?”

A guy who always surprises everyone.

Among the students, he was probably the only one who thought of catching a dragon.

The ability was also the ability, and the only person who could make such a bold choice was Rudy Astria.

So did Rudy Astria catch the dragon?

I didn’t know that.

You just have to see it with your own eyes.

As I was thinking about that, something boiled inside Evan.

Some will call this jealousy, others will call it inferiority.

Even so, the result was the same.

Evan raised his sword.

‘I will go to the top of the mountain tomorrow.’

If Rudy Astria is defeated by a dragon, catch the dragon.

If you win, find Rudy Astria and defeat it.

I don’t know what that would mean, but it had to be.

I wanted to be senior.

Yeniel told him to raise his sword with conviction, but it was impossible to suddenly change his mind.

Stand on top of Rudy Astria.

Now, this was Evan’s goal, ideology, and the only goal he had in life.

he did nothing wrong

he’s not a bad guy

Evan knew this.

Rather, he knew that he was the strange person.

Still, Evan raised his sword.

He had no choice but to point his sword at Rudy Astria.

As Yeniel said, if Evan’s sword doesn’t point towards Rudy Astria, it means nothing.

If you don’t go to the chief, you will lose your way.

He didn’t have a cause, and he didn’t have any beliefs.

Even if it was ugly, even if I was pointed at, there was only one thing I had to do.

I just wished.

If you take the lead and beat Rudy Astria.

May other goals arise.

I hope to see the next place.

and… … May you be an ideal person like Rudy Astria.

Evan’s target was Rudy Astria.

It was in the sense that I had to beat him down, and it was also in the utopia I wanted to become.

Rudy Astria was envious.

A person who is respected by everyone around him.

Someone who has the courage to take risks for someone else.

A person with enough skills and character.

so that.

“Cut Rudy Astria.”

He was just trying to get past that Rudy Astria.

If you go beyond him, you may see a different perspective.

But, even if Rudy Astria is cut down like that, or if he can’t find his way even after being defeated.

There was no reason to be in the academy anymore.

I had no choice but to find a goal and leave.

As Yeniel said, a lost sword only cuts down innocent people.

***

The next day, Evan headed to the top of the mountain.

All the trees on the way to the summit had been burned and gone, and the ground was charred.

In addition, it could be seen that the ground had been dug and a fierce battle had ensued.

‘What happened to the dragon.’

Evan looked towards the top.

All the trees on the way to the top had been burned, so the view was open.

However, the appearance of the dragon was not visible.

Even if it was the fight that took place yesterday, if the dragon was defeated, the body had to be seen.

‘Did you lose?’

That thought didn’t last long.

I saw a man sitting on a small stone in the distance.

Next to him was a small elephant and a silver-haired wolf.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other like this, Evan.”

A blond man who smiles and greets.

“This is the first time we have talked like this. Rudy Astria.”

Evan told Rudy.

The two never had a conversation.

Speaking of conversation, it was only when we met in the last joint evaluation.

“Did you earn a lot of points?”

“If not as much as you who caught a dragon, I earned enough punishment.”

Even though the surroundings were so messed up, it was clear that he had caught a dragon when he saw that he was sitting like that.

Rudy smiled, then changed her expression.

“You didn’t steal your nose-stained points while harassing the kids, did you?”

“Isn’t that what you need to know?”

“Are you obscenely harassing other students? If it were your ability, you would be able to catch a tremendous amount of magic too.”

“I was just dealing with all the guys in front of me.”

The two had never talked, but it didn’t feel awkward.

It feels like an old friend.

Rudy stood up.

“I respect you, and I think you have something to imitate to some extent.”

Evan was well aware of how much effort he put in to take the top spot and become stronger.

Rudy herself tried to sleep less, cut bones and vomit blood to get good grades.

It was no different for Evan.

Evan’s ability was unusual, but it wasn’t a talent.

Uniqueness doesn’t mean talent.

Rather, it was poison.

Because he had to open a new path himself, not a path that was opened by anyone.

While Evan pioneered his own path, he also pursued ordinary studies.

This was not something to be dismissed as a talent.

It meant that he invested his time and put up with it, even if he wanted to rest a little or feel comfortable.

“But, I think it’s going a little different now.”

Evan didn’t say anything to that.

Rudy clenched her fists and moved her mana.
