Almark – Northern Sword, Southern Wand

Ilumis sighed with astonishment at Almark, who began turning his shoulders this time.

I wonder if it's going to be a game with that body.

"I can't tell you unless you try."

Almark smiles at Illmis.

"If you lose, you won't die."

If this is the real battlefield, retreat is certainly one of the choices.

It's not a situation where you can't escape, but if you lose, it means the end of your life.

If you decide to fight, no matter what happens, you must win.

In that case, it is often better to retreat.

However, martial arts competitions are serious competitions with no exchange of life.

Even if you lose, it's a defeat you can take back again.

And above all else.

"My people are waiting."

Nelson, Morgan, Raido, and Leila.

Almark thought of four faces.

Friends who swore to win together.

I wonder if the one-to-three game is over already.

It's subtle in time.

I'm sure we're all in trouble.

"I am the leader. I can't just leave."

Would you like to just participate?

Illmis nodded with a stunned face.

"Yes, just participate"

Keep smiling.

"But I think I'll win."

The redness has returned to Almark's face as soon as she said so.

"I admit your resilience. However, it is dangerous to be impossible with that magically exhausted body. As a teacher, I can't give you permission without it."

That's how Ilumis pulls a little jar out of the robe's sleeve.

It contains a thick green liquid.

"I boiled Dr. Celia's healing medicine. If you have the courage to drink this."

Illmis shook the horn in front of Almark.

"Let's admit it."

Can I drink that?

The eclectic Almark receives the prize.

But it was the moment I opened the lid.

Kafu

Al Mark is in trouble.

At some point, Ilumis covered his nose with a robe sleeve away.

"What is this? I've never smelled a bad smell before. I think the smell of those guys is perfectly decent."

I told you it was medicinal water.

Ilmis answers.

"I condensed Dr. Celia's medicinal water dozens of times. I wouldn't be willing to drink it if it weren't for me."

Illmis said with a moaning voice because he was covering his nose.

"But it works great. It doesn't have immediate effect, but it will heal a lot sooner. Are you prepared to drink it for your people?

"Drink!

Almark answered immediately.

Don't breathe with your nose.

Prepare yourself, hold your breath and try to drink it.

"If you drink it and spit it out, it's useless."

"I know."

Inhale the smell and let it go.

"Doctor, please don't talk to me before you drink."

When protesting with a cough, Ilumis answers that she has a serious face and needs to check the conditions before she starts.

"I drink. Please don't speak up anymore."

"I know."

Almark stopped breathing and swallowed the liquid.

Amazing, unspeakable taste and smell.

His stomach cramped and resisted trying to refuse to take it, but Almark wept into his eyes and pushed it in and managed not to throw up.

"Excellent."

Ilumis clapped his hands.

"That's the leader."

"No...."

"Oh, of course, don't expect strange expectations because the medicinal bath has no effect on martial arts."

"I know."

Almark strokes around his stomach for a while before lowering his head to Ilumis.

"Thank you, Doctor. May I have this?"

Illmis received a stick of wood from Almark.

Well, let's keep it for now. But you probably don't want to stay with me long. "

Ilmis says as if the tree stick itself had the will.

Can I go alone?

"Yes, I also got Dr. Celia's medicinal water, and I'm fine. Please tell me about Wallis."

That said, when Almark was about to walk out, a voice rang from behind.

"Almark"

Turning around, Wallis was waking up with a spicy face.

Have you noticed, Wallis?

Instead of responding to Almark's words, Wallis takes off his robe and coat.

"It would be too ugly to go there."

As Wallis pointed out, Almark remembers that his clothes were slightly cut on the back and were covered in blood.

"I'll lend you my clothes. I have another robe, so you can return it later."

Wallis, who was naked in the upper body, said so in his usual tone as a classmate, rolling up his robe and jacket and throwing it at Almark.

"Thank you."

While thanking him and accepting it with both hands, Almark noticed that the bandage was still wrapped around Wallis' right arm, just as it was on the day of the split.

I remember how Wallis fought earlier.

Perhaps that darkness was coming out of there.

Well then, I'll borrow it. Wallis, I'll fight for you. "

Almark said.

"I'm sorry I asked you before why you didn't want to go to martial arts competitions."

Wallis looks at Almark in the face.

"You really wanted to leave, didn't you? But I got it today. There must be something I don't understand."

Almark said again that he was sorry.

It's not for you to apologize.

Wallis told her to throw up with a spicy face.

"If you think so, win nicely."

"Okay."

Almark wears Wallis' jacket and robes.

"I'm coming. Miss Ilmis, I'm coming."

Almark walked away from the two of them.

It's a slow step, but the steps are solid.

"... a tough kid. Don't you agree, Wallis?"

Ilumis looks at Wallis.

"... I don't know what you're talking about."

Wallis answered without looking at Iris's face.
