Start A New Game

Subdue Monsters

After returning to the forest, Saehan leaned against the same tree as Ian.

Two people sitting side by side, shoulder to shoulder.

The moonlight illuminates them.

“Today, I told you that he was going to be the lead actor. But the Trolls showed up today...”

“Really? What happened? ”

“What the hell? He just ran off like crazy. Heehee, you should have seen it...”

Ian talks about his disapproving partner all the time.

With a sincere and generous expression, he confronted Ian.

At least for now, I didn't want to hurt Ian's feelings.

No, it's because the rumors around about Ian have been a little bad lately.

In the same case, the gossip was rumored that the personality was actually very ugly because of the charm figure, but now that the death penalty was hardened, the death penalty couldn't care less.

But Ian's mental health is not as good as Sadhan's. She's the daughter of a great artist, because at least no one in school has insulted herself.

However, the situation of the battlefield is different. Everyone is under a certain amount of stress. In addition, it is isolated from society.

So no matter what you do, you can't run into the family right now, and the students in the battlefield don't think about what happens next because of stress.

So even if I had to return to society after a while because I am a student of the school, I would not want to be treated as a "family" on this battlefield.

But Ian would have been irritated and whimpering several times a day, just like in school.

It was Ian's fault, of course, but she thought she could unconsciously do it... because no one in the family, school, whatever she did, ever said anything bad.

This is an example of what they often say is' I made a mistake in home education. '

Her father Martin was strict about magical abilities, but he had no interest in "courtesy," no interest in education.

Her mother just asked if Ian was just upset that he was on a murderous schedule.

But here, the outcome of her identical behavior was 180 degrees different from in school.

If she did something she didn't like or whined about, it would be hard for her to fight hard with her partners and students in the same barracks.

So from one moment to the next, Ian was on the outside of her barracks, in her whites.

Now it's worse for Ian than it is for anyone to insult her.

I mean, right now, the last conversation with Sahan at the end of the day might be the only time Ian's tired enough to have a white smile.

“But... by the way, you've grown up more than you did before... just a wolf... What gray wolf? I heard you got rid of him.”

Ian suddenly smiled bitterly instead of talking.

The wizard could feel another wizard's Mana somewhat, so he would have noticed his condition more than 1,000 times when he first came here.

“I don't think so... Or have I regressed? My dad was really excited when he said I was going to the Punitive Force... My dad would hate it if he saw me now... ”

Ian gets very depressed again.

She places her hands on her shoulders without a word. Black, but straight to Ian's cheek.

This is a joke we used to do on Earth a lot.

“Hey."

“… Huh?

Ian turns his head to look at him.

But as she turns her head to one side, his index finger pierces Ian's cheek.

The feeling of cheeks is more than I expected.

“Heeheeheeheeheeheehee”

A big smiler looking at her cheek stabbed in her forefinger.

Ian glances at him with his eyes wide open to see if he's crazy.

“... are you kidding me? ”

Ian looks really flustered.

I'm taking this seriously, but I don't think I like this kind of prank.

“... Why isn't that funny? Just smile. Don't be so angry. ”

Sahan continues to poke her cheek and jab.

“Oh, don't! ”

Ian sprinkles his hands, but Sahan continues to stab her in the cheek.

“Oh, don't! ”

“Hey, you know what? Ah, ah!! It hurts! It hurts!! Sorry, sorry!! ”

In the end, Ian chewed through the blade of the Forgiveness.

I cut my jaw with all my strength.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! ”

Only after receiving his desperate apology several times did Ian stop breaking it.

“Oh, this is gonna hurt. ”

“Idiot.”

Ian straightens his cheek as if it were a pinch and sits with his head turned away from him.

Sahan told her as he cast a healing magic on a finger with clear teeth marks.

Relax. It's no big deal.

“You know what, Ian? You're, uh, you're magical? Without it, you're precious to yourself. ”

Saehan finally brought up what he had always wanted to say to Ian.

Ian and himself had similarities.

Only different from what they felt, because they were equally inferior to each other.

And it resembles the fact that you don't like to admit that you have inferiority.

So I wanted to comfort him even more. I wanted to heal her.

One man's wounds, someone with the same kind of wounds, knew it well, so they could comfort him well.

At his words, Ian turns his head to look at him.

All of a sudden, you look fat.

Zahan was uncomfortable for a moment, but he decided to continue speaking.

“And by the way...”

Sahan gently touches her face, looking at her. Ball and ears, eyes and mouth.

Everything except the eyes is tiny. But it feels rather cute.

“You are not the child of House Blaze. It's just Ian. I mean, he's not that great. You're just a person, just like me, right? Don't be so obsessed. You're already a good person. ”

Ian's pupils trembled greatly, hearing his words.

Different people feel inferiority because of what. But all inferiorities have the same cure.

"Sweetheart." If you love yourself, you won't be sad about something compared to others.

But in fact, it would be the hardest way in the world if it wasn't born of self-love.

That's why I need someone else's help.

He felt that he couldn't do it alone, that he felt uneasy on Earth and here.

Without the help of others, the person who makes it possible is probably someone with enough mental power to detonate.

“Isn't that right? Answer me."

“Yeah, but... Whatever.

“… Hmm? ”

Ian said very clearly in his voice. She was embarrassed for a moment, but after reading the emotions in her voice, she smiled brightly.

“It just is. I just like the guy named Ian. ”

“... but, but? What, me? What, what am I supposed to do? Oh, hey. I'm going. I have to go now."

Ian blurts in a trembling voice, then runs toward the fortress with a flush on his sheep's cheeks.

Zahan smiles brightly as he looks at her as she runs cute as she walks.

She won't change in an instant. It's a natural story.

It would be impossible for her to change her personality after 17 years of slowly accumulating.

But steadily, if you keep it that way. Maybe it will change slowly one day.

“.. but I'm not comforted. ”

And then I thought to myself, Sahan sighed deeply.

In total, the three armies were the ones who rallied behind Lahim to subdue the monsters.

Each legion consisted of more than 6,000 soldiers, more than 120 school students, and more than 40 elite knights and wizards.

They all marched toward the northernmost frontier of the Kingdom of Rahim, with 1st advancing on the Northwest Passage, 2nd advancing on the Straight Passage to the North and 3rd advancing on the North-East Passage.

For three months, the three armies were keen to subdue each march, the last of which was to assemble and disband the Black Territories, the last of which was to be subdued.

And the 2nd Legion is the Legion to which Forgiveness belongs.

An army that marches on the most honest path, just like Bazko, the general leader, starting with Fort Eden, through the straight path to the north.

“Hmm? ”

Bazko glances through the documents with the 'major’ handed to him by his subordinate, noticing something unexpected and shining his eyes.

“Cullen and Forgiveness... both freshmen. Defeat 93 monsters, 8 of them identified as Class C monsters..? ”

Bazco, who thought the combination of Arene and Serzin would be unconditionally number one, was surprisingly ranked 13th in the majors' rankings. Taking into account that he was the elite knight and wizard in the royal household from 1st to 12th, he was definitely number one among the school's students.

He turns his eyes away from the paperwork and looks at his underlings. Explain what happened to his eyes.

“Yes, I checked and recorded all the stops. They said they had 20 more, but they missed them because they didn't have any evidence. ”

“.. why didn't there be any evidence? ”

“I was curious about that, too, and the wizard named Zahan kept saying that all the bodies were burned and could not retrieve the stable stone. ”

Bazco frowned. The stable is Mana's gathering place. Mana assemblies cannot be destroyed by magic made of Mana.

Apparently, since they were babies, it was obvious that they didn't even know about it, so they probably just melted the cobblestone.

Nevertheless, it is clearly impossible for monsters to practice destructive magic to become ashes without great talent.

Bazco remembers the face of a man named Zahan.

He's not that good-looking. He's a little ugly. I'm not fat, but there's militia everywhere. I'm not even a man. And above all, even Bazco, who didn't care about his first impressions, had a strange atmosphere that felt a bit unpleasant.

“What a pleasant surprise. Where are the two families? ”

“Once upon a time, a student named Cullen was the only child of the author, Meredith. ”

“Hmm? You mean the noble Meredith? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“Ugh... This child, it was his child...”

Bazco looks at Kurlin's name as if he were sorry.

The Meredith family. In Segan, the Meredith family is called the "ancient family."

Not as a compliment, of course, but as a taunt.

The Meredith family was too conservative. to the extent that Bazco is intelligent and inflexible.

First of all, there was a rule that only the 'son’ of the owner of the family and the owner of the household would inherit.

It's an old-fashioned rule that really existed about 500 years ago.

In this era, even though the trend does not matter at all whether a daughter, a son or a household, Meredith has been pathologically obsessed that she must be a son in the household.

So even when Madison's wife had been pregnant for a long time, she had been named after a man since she was born.

The look on Meredith's face after confirming that her child was definitely a daughter.

Because the Meredith family was authors, and his concubine could no longer conceive, his expression was truly desperate.

“Cullen... there's definitely too many girls in her name. ”

“.. was originally named Colock. When I was born a girl, I was told I changed my name to Cullen. ”

“... Hehe. Anyway, what about the guy named Zahan? ”

“An orphan.

“… What? ”

Bazco expressed a question of his words.

It was because it made no sense to think of what the undertaker had said before, "Surprisingly, it's impossible," rather than "Raji."

No matter how talented you are to become a wizard enough to go to school, you need astronomical money. An orphan can't afford that kind of money.

I'm sorry. I think that's all I can do today.

Thank you to those who look after you!
