Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Teacher's side, it belongs only to me!
The scene with the Eagle Mercenary Group further convinced Sophia, who was the first to reach Reji's side, of her earlier conjecture.
This Teacher
Must have some way to stop monsters!
Sea Tiger quickly realized this as well.
Just as he was still brainstorming on how to communicate and negotiate with Reji, Reji took the initiative to speak.
"I'm very grateful that Captain Tiger is willing to help me."
"This is not a place to stay for long. Let's go."
Reji stood up and was the first to walk outside, seemingly indifferent to the terrifying skeleton monsters in the chaotic venue. He walked straight towards the back door of the hall without any guard, as if he was delivering himself to the skeletons.
In any case, if it were up to Sea Tiger, he would never choose such an overly conspicuous escape route.
But, Sea Tiger hesitated for a moment there.
Sophia, however, reacted very quickly.
The little princess seemed to have completely lost her mind over Reji. She followed him closely, no matter what, even if it meant facing those monsters.
Seeing this, Sea Tiger finally made up his mind.
"Let's go! Let's follow the Teacher!"
And what followed proved that his decision was incredibly right.
With Reji leading the way in front, he did nothing but walk slowly. Yet, it seemed as if a halo enveloped them, making them invisible. The fierce skeleton soldiers seemed to have gone blind, not one attacking them.
Even more exaggerated was that some skeletons on their inevitable path even actively made way for them, as if giving them passage. A skeleton, because it was facing away from Reji and did not notice him, was even kicked fiercely by another skeleton, as if to say,"Get out of the way."

This surprised Sea Tiger and all the adventurers of the Eagle Mercenary Group.
Until they were about to reach the back door without any harm or battle as if in a dream, Sea Tiger seemed to come back to his senses and hurriedly asked Reji, more like a reminder:
"Teacher Reji, your, your student is still"
Sea Tiger was of course referring to Vielsia.
Reji shook his head.
"Don't worry about her, I believe she will catch up."
Reji didn't even glance in Vielsia's direction.
He continued walking towards the back door.
Seeing this, Sea Tiger and the members of the Eagle Mercenary Group had nothing to say and silently followed.
On the contrary, it was Sophia.
Now that she didn't have to worry about her life being in danger and felt slightly relieved, she was very concerned about the direction in which Vielsia was.
How should I put it?
It was as if I had suddenly found a strong reliance and didn't want to let go, much less share it with anyone else.
So, Sophia watched Vielsia, who was still in battle.
Especially those royals and nobles who were saved by Vielsia and were being protected by her.
Fool
Idiot!
Idiot
!
It would be best if you just died here, don't follow us!
Sophia, despite reaching her intellectual limit.
But her inner nature wouldn't change.
The little princess cursed Vielsia viciously.
She indeed hoped that Vielsia would die.
Just like she would assist the Five Flowers Alliance in this massacre and coup.
A spot for each.
If this foolish girl died, would I have a chance to replace this foolish, seemingly righteous country girl?
Become the new student by Teacher Reji's side?
And from what can be seen now, even if Teacher Reji isn't very powerful, he certainly possesses vast knowledge and is a great talent. Vielsia becoming a third-tier sorcerer, it might not be her effort but Teacher Reji's influence.
In that case.
If I could also be taken as a disciple by Teacher Reji in the future, or even, cling to Teacher Reji, this great tree, can I also become a powerful, enviable third-tier sorcerer like Vielsia!?
Thinking of this, Sophia's gaze towards Reji in front became even more fervent.
The look she gave Vielsia became even more repulsive and jealous.
Sophia thought she hid all these feelings very well.
But in reality,
Swish!
Vielsia shot another arrow, piercing through several attacking skeleton soldiers. Taking advantage of this brief combat break to catch her breath, she immediately turned her head, looking towards Reji and others heading towards the back door.
To be honest, seeing Reji and the Eagle Mercenary Group retreating, Vielsia felt very unpleasant inside.
Teacher!?
Why!?
Teacher clearly has the ability, why didn't he save everyone? Why did he just watch indifferently?
And
Why, when Teacher was retreating, didn't he even say a word to me!
It's like... like
He forgot about me?
A strong sense of being abandoned swept over Vielsia, even overpowering her sense of justice inside.
Vielsia felt like she was losing something very important.
That thing was far more important than her current sense of justice, more than these people she was protecting those with panicked expressions, corpulent figures, heavily made up, who she actually didn't recognize at all, each of them strangers to her.
"Quick! What are you doing!"
"The skeletons are coming again! You fool, don't just stand there! Shoot your arrows!"
"Hey! We're talking to you! Did you hear us, I command you in my capacity as the Minister of Finance, quick! Protect us ahhh!"
"Damn! Are you deaf? You must be a student of the Royal Academy, right? Who is your mentor?
If you let us get hurt, we will have you, no, your whole family thrown into prison tomorrow!!"
"They're coming. They're killing their way up here. Help ahh!!"
Seeing Vielsia stop, those nobles who were frantic and relying on the elf became anxious, screaming, and even now, perhaps out of habit from being pampered, were still giving orders to Vielsia in a commanding tone.
But these were secondary to Vielsia now.
What truly made Vielsia's heart ache, as if her heart skipped a beat, was...
-Jealousy-
It was still the jealousy from Sophia by Reji's side, thinking she was being discreet, but in the perception of Vielsia, it was all too clear. The small princess's jealousy towards her, her competition, her... wishing she would just hurry up and die.
No.
Don't
I don't want anyone to take my place by Teacher's side!
That place
Belongs to me! and ME ALONE!!
In an instant, all the conflicting emotions inside Vielsia erupted.
Sophia's envious gaze acted like a catalyst, like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It made the elf princess understand her feelings inside.
Could that be called liking? Vielsia didn't know.
But what she did know was that, just thinking about someone else taking her place as Reji's new student, just the thought of that scene made Vielsia's heart
-Ach'e-
'What is this pain....'
"What are you doing!! Can't you see we are all injured!!" At this moment, a nobleman adorned with gold necklaces around his neck finally squeezed through to Vielsia's side.
His greasy hand actually grabbed the corner of the elf's cloak, urging Vielsia to come back quickly, even trying to embrace the body of Vielsia, their great savior.
"FUCK Of!"
Vielsia made a breakthrough.
The moment that vulgar and filthy word came out of the mouth of the elf princess had already completed a certain change.
With a slap, she sent the nobleman, who wanted to embrace her, flying.
The screaming noble fell into a pile of skeleton warriors and, within seconds, was stabbed into a sieve.
For some reason.
Although it felt sinful.
A sense of pleasure emerged in the depths of Vielsia's heart.
I had fallen.
I must have fallen.
Vielsia was very clear about this.
But.
Seeing that the figures of Reji and the others were about to disappear through the back door, about to completely retreat, Vielsia didn't hesitate for a moment.
The elf girl turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and crazily chased after Reji's position.
Left behind.
Were only the stunned nobles, desperately pleading, loudly shouting for the elf girl not to leave. Without Vielsia's intervention and protection, the skeletons, now utterly unleashed in their slaughter, began a new round of bloodshed.
