Chapter 151
Episode 151. Presents and letters from home The green
freshmen had become full-fledged students of Laudelen Academy before they knew it.
The mid-term evaluation was over and now only the final evaluation at the end of November was left, and they were still actively wandering around the academy even in the cold weather.
“Louis!”
After the lecture, Serena touched Louis, who was absent-minded.
Only then did Louis’ eyes return to focus, turning his head to look at her.
“Lecture is over. What are you so bruised about?”
“uh? uh… … .”
Serena, who had been staring at Louis in this state since the incident a few days ago, grabbed Chris as he passed them.
“Chris, say something to Louis too. Your rival is bruising like this.”
“hmm?”
When Serena suddenly grabbed him, Chris narrowed his eyes, looked at Louis, and then turned his head.
“I don’t know. and… … .”
Chris left without saying a word.
“Sometimes it’s better to just let it go.”
Realizing that Chris’ words were aimed at her, Serena glared at the back of his head, but Chris was already gone.
“Thank you for caring about Serena. But it was just a little too much to think about.”
Lewis smiled awkwardly at Serena.
“What is so much to think about? It must have been the thought of the sparring the day before yesterday.”
“Haha that’s right. I have a lot of thoughts when I do replays.”
“I admit that he was great for his age. well you won in the end But you seem to be thinking much longer than usual. Wasn’t Vivian sunbaenim like this too?”
“Come to think of it, yes. But strangely, it keeps coming to mind.”
He raised his hand and crouched down as if holding a sword.
Then he opened his eyes and spoke to Serena.
“Didn’t you say that boy was Benjamin? Attending Monas Academy.”
“huh.”
“I said that senior Adrias sent me.”
“It did. Honestly, if Adrias-senpai’s name hadn’t come up, I would have ignored it. I’m asking you to come and have a sparring… … .”
Louis smiled happily for a moment.
“I thought Adrias was not interested in me. Even when I first applied for Dalian, I was ignored.”
His hand gradually closed and was tightly grasped.
“But I knew it wasn’t. If he had no interest in me, he would not have sent Benjamin to me. In fact, I grew up with Benjamin in one sparring.”
“You grew up?”
“uh. It would have been nice if you had tried sparring at that time, but I was distracted.”
Louis, who caught his breath, said firmly.
“That guy is a genius.”
“That guy? Benjamin? I guess so. Because only a Monas Academy student could have lasted so long against the world’s only Louis Artman.”
“no. I don’t mean it that way, but it’s what I say when I look at it objectively. Benjamin Anikius is a true genius. If you have to choose between me and him, he belongs to the real genius.”
“… … That much?”
“Of course I don’t think I’m losing. From now on, I will continue to stand in front of Benjamin. But if I hadn’t sparred with Benjamin, I think I might have caught up someday.”
Serena felt resentment for some reason at Louis’s bold praise.
It was the first time he had been with Lewis and evaluated a person below him so highly.
“And what’s even more amazing is Adrias senior.”
“why?”
“You knew all of this. That’s why you sent Benjamin to me. Guess in advance what will help each other.”
“It is interesting. How on earth did he know Benjamin and thought of sending it to you? You even cared about me.”
The two pondered this mystery for a while without speaking.
I felt it while living in the academy for the past year, but Adrias’s touch, which was not revealed, was felt all over the place.
Eventually, Louis spat out admiringly.
“You’re amazing too.”
“okay. Let’s just have a time of praise for Adrias sunbaenim.”
“okay. I’ll stop talking now. Let’s go eat lunch.”
At Serena’s playful words, Louis raised his hands and said as if he was surrendering.
‘Simply skills are skills, but… … .’
I walked towards the restaurant, thinking that maybe it was because I had no milestones to aim for, and that I might have come to admire the person named Adrias even more.
“Wow, how can such a coincidence happen?”
Seeing the unusually large number of people gathered, Serena made an astounding expression.
Louis, who had been lost in thought for a while, finally confirmed the sight and asked.
“What happened?”
“What is it? Can’t you see that?”
Following Serena’s fingertips, I saw the person who had been chewing and biting a moment ago slowly walking towards the cafeteria of the Faculty of Engineering.
Louis looked back at Serena, wondering if he was mistaken, but it was true.
“What are you looking at? Senior Adrias, whom I praised so much, is walking over there. Should I go say thank you?”
“That’s right.”
Serena smiled inwardly at Louis’ tense appearance.
Seeing him shaken like this, who had never always been calm and flustered, made me want to tease him even more.
“Anyway, what did you come here for? Let’s ask Kim to say hello.”
“Is it really necessary to ask such a thing? Senior would hate being bothered.”
“what. Are you sleeping right now, Louis?”
“It’s not like that… … .”
Then Adrias checked the two and turned.
Louis and Serena, taken by surprise during their conversation, soon hardened like ice and just stared at the approaching Adrias.
“A long time.”
Louis and Serena nodded their heads with difficulty at the words of Adrias, who had approached him before he knew it.
“Hello, senior.”
“It’s been a while, senior.”
Adrias’ face, which seemed cold to him, cracked at the reaction of the two.
Serena, who found a faint smile on his cold expression, took a deep breath and greeted him once more.
“Thank you for helping me last time.”
“Like what?”
“yes? ah! I heard it from Vivian sunbaenim. Adrias-senpai asked Vivian-senpai… … .”
“Oh that.”
Adrias nodded and smiled as if he had forgotten.
“Any help?”
“yes? yes It was very helpful!”
“Then you are lucky. You must have been upset because of what I said, but I hope it goes well.”
“Oh no! I am always grateful to senior Adrias!”
Louis, who had been listening quietly, also intervened.
“Senior, I met a boy named Benjamin Anikius two days ago.”
“okay? Are you okay?”
“Can I ask you something before that?”
Adrias looked at Louis with a slightly defiant look with calm eyes.
Serena, who was watching from the side, watched with a restless mind without realizing it.
“say.”
“Is Benjamin the child Adrias taught you?”
At those words, Adrias laughed as if making the sound of air escaping.
Louis was embarrassed for nothing as he pondered over what he had said, wondering if he had made a mistake.
“No, don’t be so upset. I was just a little surprised and laughed.”
“Are you surprised?”
“I think you rated me too highly. To answer the question, I never taught Benjamin. I don’t even have the skills to teach in the first place.”
Then he turned around and said.
“Don’t you know because you’ve been dealing with it yourself? that guy is a genius It’s not something someone like me can teach.”
“Ah senior! Where are you going?”
“I’m here to find Vivian. Do you know where it is?”
“I’ll check.”
“no. See you later.”
As Adrias waved away and left, Louis relaxed his tense body.
Serena took a deep breath and scratched her head.
“You’re a very special senior.”
“It’s strong too.”
“Did you check that out again? oops It’s boring, boring.”
No matter what Serena said, Luis clenched his fists as he watched Adrias disappear.
“I really want to catch up. So that we can stand side by side.”
* * *
I was lucky enough to meet Louis and Serena while I was at the Engineering Department to meet Vivian.
The fact that I’m visiting Vivian right now is to express my gratitude for taking care of Serena, so it’s not irrelevant.
“If you’re not at the restaurant, should I go to the gymnasium?”
There was one more sword attached to my waist, besides Galaksur.
It was a gift for Vivian, obtained from Trawler.
Trawler eventually decided to make equipment for my undead.
However, it took quite a while because the equipment did not come out quickly.
In the end, I had no choice but to return to the academy after ordering, but instead I was able to get a sword that I made in advance.
‘I could give it to Nickel, but I can get a better sword anyway.’
The sword given by Trawler was a good enough sword, but it was not of the name class.
The only name he created was ‘Star Hunter’, so it was a natural story.
Still, it’s not bad since they make much better quality equipment than the blacksmith ‘my hammer is the best in the world’ at the academy. In fact, except for the named items, they make the endgame level equipment.
‘I hope Vivian likes it.’
I knew it from the time I saw my Galaksur and showed interest in it, but since Vivian is also a swordsman, she seemed to be quite interested in swords.
‘Actually, the sword Vivian was using was an uncommon mass-produced item.’
It made sense to me, who knew a little about her family history.
He probably doesn’t live a very prosperous life.
“Wow, it’s Adrias-senpai.”
“What are you doing here?”
Originally, I drew attention, but after meeting Maximin, I received attention that was burdensome.
Is it natural for those who wield a sword to meet and talk with the strongest swordsman that they can only admire at least once?
I thought it was better and asked around.
“Does anyone know where Vivian Velocan is?”
“Senior Vivian?”
“uh? Did you go to the restaurant earlier?”
I guess my prediction was correct.
I moved my steps and headed towards the restaurant.
When I arrived at the restaurant and glanced around, I noticed a striking green hair.
And that green hair, noticing the atmosphere in the restaurant that had become noisy due to my appearance, turned its head and looked in my direction.
“Adrias?”
She was blank, wide-eyed.
When I approached her like that, Vivian didn’t know what to do and handed me a seat.
“How are you Vivian?”
“huh. I was surprised by your sudden arrival.”
To her, I immediately unfastened the sword from my waist and handed it to her.
Then Vivian, who had a question mark on her face, tilted her head.
“what’s this?”
“I wanted to say thank you for always asking for help and getting help. And I got this by chance, but I brought it as a gift.”
“I already got the earrings.”
she said, revealing her white earrings.
“That is a gift, and this is also a gift. And anyway, I have this, and I hope that the newly acquired black Vivian will accept it.”
Finally, after accepting the sword, Vivian slowly drew it.
The color of the blade was unusual.
The pale yellow light of the sword showed that it was not made of ordinary ore.
“This?”
“I heard that it is a sword made of small raw iron. It’s a rare ore that is mainly used for magic research, and it was the first time I knew that I could make a sword out of it. As a feature, it is said that the sharpness is maintained even without maintenance.”
It was not a named-class item, but it was an excellent weapon with its characteristics.
Its sharpness and mana conductivity could be guaranteed as long as Trawler made it, and it boasted almost semi-permanent sharpness thanks to being made of resuscitated iron.
“This doesn’t work. I can’t take it.”
Vivian’s face stiffened in a rare way as she handed me the sword again.
However, I shook my head without accepting the sword.
“The owner of the sword has already been decided. The blacksmith told me to let Vivian, who will be the owner, choose the name as well.”
“but… … .”
“If Vivian doesn’t accept it, the sword will be without a master. I have a sword I received from the Mage Tower Lord in the past, so I have no reason to use that sword.”
After thinking about my words for a moment, Vivian nodded slowly.
“okay. thank you. I will keep it as an heirloom.”
“It’s not a good sword to keep as an heirloom. I’ll give you a sword that you can later keep as a real heirloom.”
“no! This is enough.”
She shook her head, holding the sword tightly in her bosom.
Then he said again while drawing the sword halfway.
“I will name the sword ‘Eternal Oath’.”
“That’s a good name. I hope you will use it well.”
Perhaps she doesn’t even know that it was Trauler who forged this sword.
If I had known, I probably would have refused to take more.
That’s because Trawler’s reputation was widely known.
“that… … Did you eat?”
“no. I have to eat now.”
“Then would you like to eat together?”
“Maybe?”
ding!
Then my tablet rang to alert me that a message had arrived.
After a moment of understanding, I checked the message.
‘A letter addressed to Adrias Cromwell has arrived in the Management Building.’
letter?
The only letter that would come to me was Amy.
Letters from gatherings or from places where I had a bad back were delivered directly to me instead of being sent to the management building.
‘What’s going on.’
The tablet also had a function to check the contents of the letter right away, so I decided to take a look.
―There is a guest who came to visit my brother. As soon as I confirm, I will come home right away!
“What are you saying, he?”
I didn’t understand that there were guests, but when I thought about it, I became a little anxious.
It was true that there was no normal person among the guests who would visit me.
That such a person is now at home with my sister?
“I’m sorry, Vivian, but I have some urgent business, so I think I’ll have to go first.”
“huh. are you okay. See you later.”
She seemed a little puzzled, but Vivian nodded obediently and waved her hand.
I took a glance at her and left the restaurant.
‘Are you a member of the assembly? don’t know? Luna? Hegel? Or the Trawler’s equipment? No, there’s no way the equipment has already been made.’
With an uneasy mind, I went straight to the train to the Welton estate.
