Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

144 – Arcius – 9

“… “Could you show me your wounds?”

I was the one who broke the quiet silence.

As I pondered Arwen’s words, I remembered that quite a bit of time had passed.

Although the power of the Sword Gang is not limited by time, the faster it was to cut down demon energy, the better.

Arwen is probably overexerting herself just by suppressing and maintaining that wound.

In addition, the wounds that have festered for a long time cannot be healed, so the pain will be severe.

Arwen looked around him for a moment and carefully held out her wrist.

“Here.”

“Uhm….”

She swallowed her saliva as she looked at her wounds. The magic was darker than I expected. So much so that it can’t even be compared to what was attached to my body.

If you think about it, it may be natural. The demonic energy in Deron’s body that did not stay for even twenty years, and the demonic energy of the Demon King that stayed in one place for hundreds of years, was suppressed, and grew in strength.

Most people will be able to tell which of the two is stronger.

“Will it be difficult?”

Arwen looked at me with worried eyes.

“If it’s going to be difficult for you, please tell me. “There is a lot of time left, so you just have to take your time and find a way.”

It’s not that he’s worried that his wounds won’t heal, but he’s worried that his pride and body will be hurt.

Seeing her devoted attitude, I held on to her sword tightly instead of answering.

A blacksmith who lived in the countryside. The breath of a craftsman who devoted his entire life to weapons flows out of the sword.

Grrr.

A voice I heard for the first time in a while. As soon as the path was cleared, the Magi carefully crawled out, and when they saw their compatriots, they started to howl in excitement.

I did not control it with aurors. Rather, I allowed him to completely melt into the sword.

Magi quickly ate the sword, as if he was pleased with the freedom he was enjoying for the first time in a while. Eventually, a mysterious energy engulfed the entire sword.

I moved the sword slowly.

From top to bottom.

Drawing a cool curve.

Kang!

When I slashed towards the upper part of Arwen’s wrist, the sword was blocked by something.

I looked up at her with wide eyes and saw that the demonic energy lurking in her wounds was desperately trying to break the connection between Arwen and herself.

The magical energy on my sword overflows to devour that magical energy. A situation where the intentions of the two are clearly visible. I raised the corners of my mouth.

“Up, if you think it’s dangerous, stop now! Because I’m fine….”

Arwen is still looking at me with worried eyes.

Even if you drive out demonic energy, the pain will not be small because it is actually a process of cutting out the wound itself.

I am amazed to see that they are holding on as if nothing is wrong.

“It’s okay.”

“The surroundings are too much to say it’s okay….”

What are the surroundings like?

I glanced around at Arwen’s words. The snow has turned black and the earth has rotted. Magi squirms outward as if she will escape at any moment.

The influence is even becoming stronger. If things continue like this, this area will become unusable land.

Is it because I fought the devil in my mind? I had no idea that there could be such damage to the surrounding area. I thought it would be okay if I suppressed the demon energy.

It seems that Magi has an influence on the surroundings just by being next to him.

“Ha….”

I was thinking of sucking on Magina a little more. I’d better just get this sorted out quickly.

I immediately raised my mana. The magic energy that was stained black gets hit by my aura and takes a step back.

Magi, who was hiding in Arwen’s wound, was embarrassed when she saw the enemy’s sudden change.

Unlike the energy that resembles one’s own, the Auror’s energy is the exact opposite, so it’s understandable to be embarrassed.

Well, apart from that.

Suddenly.

I have no intention of watching that scene any longer.

The energy changed to aura, and at the same time, he held the sword tightly and twisted it.

In an instant, the connection to the magic energy is severed.

Tuk.

I absorbed the demon king’s magical energy that had fallen in vain on the floor through my sword.

Crumbling.

The Magi, which has not yet learned its way, is wary of me like a ferocious wild animal. It’s like it’s going to bite me with its sharp teeth and claws.

I easily suppressed such a demon. All you need is a little mana and an artisan’s hammer, no need to use aurors.

“Ha, ha….”

After dealing with the demonic energy, Arwen seemed to have lost her strength and slumped down in her seat.

She looked down at her injured wrist with an expression of disbelief.

The wound is clean. Even the slightest energy from her was sucked out and cut off, so now there won’t be even a fingernail left in her body.

I got down on one knee and held out my hand.

“Are you okay?”

“The wound…. Really.”

I can understand her emotion. Although I didn’t necessarily show it, I was very happy when I got away from the fear of death.

No matter how long you live, there is no way you will not be afraid of death.

Even those who accept it calmly just accept that it will happen. Among those who have life, there is probably no one who is not afraid of death.

“Ugh….”

Water drips from the corners of Arwen’s eyes. Her body moves quickly and hugs me.

“I, I have never given you demonic energy or said anything to you. “This is how you get help.”

Arwen hugged me tightly and sobbed.

“It’s because of the wound, but she can’t be by her side like a mother….”

“I have already received enough help.”

Without her help, I would have died. Since I owe you my life, it’s only natural to pay back.

Also, if she hadn’t given birth to me out of fear of worsening her wounds, she wouldn’t have been able to come into this world. With that, the transfer of demon energy is over.

“B, but I’m by your side….”

“It’s okay if you stay here from now on.”

As she cried, Arwen wiped away her tears, hugged her and patted her back.

Her mother’s back, which she touched for the first time, was warmer than she expected.

“You are excommunicated.”

“Yes?”

When I returned to the Winter Castle with Arwen, Katrel spoke to me with her solemn expression.

Excommunication. Maybe I heard wrong?

“It’s called excommunication. From now on, you will have to live as Deron, not Deron Philasia.”

“… “What is the reason?”

“Why?”

She nodded in response to Katrel’s question.

It’s absurd to suddenly call it an excommunication, but we should at least hear the reason.

“Of course, he had Arwen all to himself….”

“Cartrell!!”

Katrel’s expression, which always looked solemn, is relieved by Arwen’s shout. He glanced at Arwen, who was very angry, and said,

“… “It’s a joke.”

“Ah…. Yes.”

Was Kattrell originally in that mood? I don’t know if it’s because of the very serious atmosphere, but I just can’t get used to it.

It’s a joke. If I were asked to choose the word that least suits that man, I would choose joke without the slightest hesitation.

My father looked so strange right now. Just by looking at my mother, people’s eyes melt….

“Even before your father gave birth to you, he was famous for his sunflowers among those who knew him.”

The Margrave approached before we knew it and opened his mouth.

I listened to his story.

“Sunflower. “You mean?”

“Yes, sunflower, I heard that every day I see your mother, I confess and follow her around.”

“… “It doesn’t suit me at all.”

“I thought so too. “I guess that’s what everyone who saw that scene thought?”

The Margrave’s gaze falls on his mother and father.

“Wow, I can’t believe I have to watch that bloody sight again.”

Although he says so, the Margrave looks like he is glad that his mother is back.

The relationship between the three seems to be better than expected. Is that why you treated me so well when I came to Winter Castle? Same thing with Professor Akdin.

“Ah, the fact that I am friends with that guy is something even in social circles they make it a joke. So, if you go somewhere and keep your mouth shut….”

“Do you have the power to sort me out?”

The Margrave looked around at me and frowned.

“This is why geniuses are called. When did you get to the top level? “It certainly seemed like it was a reward just a few months ago.”

“It hasn’t been long. “It will be three or four months at most.”

“The second year of the Imperial Academy is the highest level. “This is something that will turn the empire upside down.”

“I don’t want to see it overturned just yet.”

The governor nodded his head as if he understood what I said.

“It’s a wise idea. “Power becomes a better weapon when it is hidden rather than when it is revealed.”

“I don’t want to become the center of social gossip, but….”

“The central nobles are annoying!”

The Margrave smiles brightly and pats me on the back. Unlike before, it doesn’t slide back. Seeing that, the Margrave made a quite expression on his face.

“Can I ask you to spar sometime?”

“If there is time….”

“That sparring. “I guess I should go first.”

Katrel intervenes, cutting me off. Before I knew it, he had moved away from Arwen and was walking towards me.

Mana blooms from his body. A state that seems to be beyond the upper class and closer to the highest class.

I swallowed my saliva without realizing it when I saw Katrell looking slightly stiff.

“Yikes.”

The Margrave left before I could catch him, saying he had urgent work to do.

Arwen seemed to be heading somewhere with Aksi, and those around her naturally left the place.

Just like that, when only me and Katrell were left. He said.

“Let’s have a round of sparring.”
