Chapter 92
Student Council President Election (5)
The most important virtue for a wizard is to always maintain reason.
This is because magic and magical power do not always fit together like mathematical formulas.
You must always be cautious about consuming more magic power than necessary or using excessively high levels of magic power.
It’s a magic so vast that it doesn’t even match one’s level, so it’s meaningless because you can’t even imitate it.
However, using magic that is one level higher than your own is always dangerous.
This is because the flow of magical energy within the body interacts with it, so the magical energy is actually utilized.
Therefore, you must always be conscious of your clear limits and avoid overdoing yourself by using more magical power than necessary.
Among them, the people you need to be especially careful of are spiritists.
The amount of magic consumed through spirits is overwhelmingly greater than that of other magic. It’s just that the auxiliary type of magic called ‘Spirit Sensitivity’ increases magical efficiency.
Therefore, a spiritist who has been trained beyond a certain level should never lose his temper.
I must clearly recognize my magic level and objectively judge how many spirits I can handle.
Yenica Palover also knew this very well.
However, knowing the facts and putting them into practice are completely different issues.
“….what… what is that…!”
I think I have seen the scale of the magic circle blooming in the night sky before.
This is Yenica Palover, who can manipulate even high-ranking spirits at will. If she completely loses her mind, there is only one spirit army that can be summoned beyond that.
Among the few high-ranking spirits, they are recognized as having the greatest power.
These are the highest-ranking spirits, with only one individual for each element.
For Yenika, who has already summoned the right arm of Glaskan, the highest-ranking dark spirit, the highest-ranking spirit’s summoning circle is not in the realm of ‘impossibility’.
Rather, it is Yenika who has reached a higher level after one year of training. For her, the level of the highest-ranking spirit is a dangerous area to reach into, but it is not an area that is completely out of reach.
Ironically, the summoning circle that blooms in the rainy sky is the exact opposite of the water element.
It is a summoning ceremony for ‘Theorpis’, the highest-ranking fire spirit who is said to have burned down the entire Apos Mountains during the mythical era.
The shape of the dragon, which was said to swing its tail bigger than the imperial castle and shoot out flames that burned the earth… was a sight so magnificent that it was recorded in history books.
Glaskan sealed the entire huge teaching building with just his right arm.
It was clear that as soon as even one of Theorpis’ arms was summoned, at least the entire northern forest would be engulfed in flames.
But for Jenica now, such a future does not enter her mind.
The anger welling up to the tips of my head turns my gaze towards the murderer in front of me.
-Shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
!
Rainy cliffs.
Nox could not resist anything other than widening his eyes as he watched the magnificent magic circle fill the sky.
There was no need for a summoning ceremony for the highest-ranking spirit against him who was completely incapable of fighting.
But anger paralyzes reason.
The grief of someone who has lost a loved one completely robs them of their reason.
The pain of tearing flesh and piercing the heart is fair to everyone.
“Do you…do you know what you did…?”
Heat radiating from the summoning circle as red as the sun. The entire area above the sea began to be engulfed in water vapor.
It’s hard to believe, but the heat rising from the summoning circle evaporates all of the raindrops in the atmosphere before they even reach the ground.
Steam rising like fog covers the coast and pushes the girl’s angry expression into darkness.
Nox was finally able to fully realize his impending death. The killing intent is completely different from when Ed Rosstaylor approached.
It seemed obvious that one angry blow would kill him. The girl’s devilishness was that much… it was difficult to handle.
It was around the time when Nox was trying to accept his impending death.
– Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A strong wind blew away the fog in the area. The thing that blocked Nox’s path with a whistling sound was… a huge wolf made of wind.
-Buuuuuung!
The strong wind that rose around the wolf was imbued with powerful magical power.
[Run away. ]
Nox has not the slightest sense of spirit sensitivity. Nevertheless, the wolf’s voice was clearly heard.
[Run away without looking back and report everything you saw and experienced. ]
[Survive. You must survive. ]
Woo-woo, the sound of a wolf howling spread through the raindrops. A brief wave overflows, and all the summoning circles embodied by Yenika temporarily disappear.
“This.. this.. what the hell… ugh… ugh…!”
In the strong wind, Nox quickly came to his senses.
I have no idea what the situation is, but what is certain is that I have a chance to survive.
Nox quickly got up, picked up the unconscious Kadek, and ran out into the northern forest.
It happened in an instant.
“Now… what are you doing now Merylda?”
[ Come to your senses, Yenika. I understand how you feel. ]
Yenica stood at the edge of the rainy cliff and looked straight down at Merilda.
And Merilda… spoke slowly to Yenica again, as if in a whisper.
[Take a deep breath and think slowly, Yenika.]
Merilda… was completely reading Ed Rothtaylor’s intentions.
Yenica’s pupils, which had been losing vitality at that fact, change direction.
“Uh… uh..??”
Jenica, who opened her eyes to new possibilities, quickly looked down the cliff. The end of the distant cliff below is hard to see.
Then he looked back at Merilda again, caught his breath, and quickly shouted for help.
* [Delheim Hourglass (Legendary)]
Returns the physical condition to a few seconds ago and removes all damage and wounds. Disposable.
[The Delheim hourglass has reached the end of its useful life. (Destruction judgment) ]
[ Magic engineering proficiency increases by using legendary magic engineering supplies! ]
“Fu kergh… keuk….!”
I barely made it through the waves and onto a side of the rocky area below the cliff.
I lay down, leaning against a nearby rock, and spit out salty sea water.
“Big… wow… big…!”
After coughing for a while and clearing the sea water, peace finally returned to my body.
“Whoa… Whoa…. You’re 100% sure to catch a cold.”
The curse of extreme poison flowing through my body disappeared, but the effect of the Delheim Hourglass did not eliminate the stab wounds caused by the sword strike.
The salt water seeped into the wounds, which was quite painful. I drank water in small amounts, and my body temperature dropped to normal.
Once I was able to move my body, the first thing to do was to return to camp and receive basic treatment. Of course, this is only when the body moves properly.
“I think it was a bit reckless, but… it was still okay… whew…” The
Delheim Hourglass is a legendary magic engineering item that was made using a full vacation.
Although it is a magical engineering product at a level that is so absurd that it should not even exist at the time of Act 3, it is a treasure that was finally able to be created after a lot of hard work.
I had no idea I would be writing this so quickly. It is very sad to think that that long time has disappeared in vain.
Still, the value of magic engineering supplies is that they can be used at the right time… so it would be better to use them when you can. If you have the materials and time, you can make other magical engineering supplies. It won’t be easy, though.
With this, Ed Rosstaylor becomes a ‘dead person’ for the time being.
Crepin Rosstaylor’s ‘causal confirmation’ magic is really tricky. Once you decide to kill Ed Rosstaylor, you will confirm the future even if it means spending a huge amount of magical power until you find the cause of that result.
So… if you want to escape from his interests, you need to ‘die’ first. This is because it is too cumbersome to deal with all the assassination methods of Crepin Rosstaylor, who are constantly coming in.
No matter how powerful the operation, dispatching personal personnel to Aken Island is prohibited by school regulations, so it is impossible to know the inside circumstances of the island. It wouldn’t be impossible if you tried, but there was news that he was already dead, so there was no reason to go that far.
In the first place, Ross Taylor Mansion and the Imperial Castle are extremely far away from Aken Island, so even if it is not a school rule, news is bound to be dull. In addition, Crepin is an influential member of the imperial family, so he is too busy to focus on this.
Kadec and Nox were probably dispatched to the academy under the pretext of temporarily assisting Tanya with external affairs.
That means that once Tanya’s important schedule is completed, she will have to leave Aken Island again.
“Probably… it will be after the student council president election is completed and the seal negotiations are over…”
The two will take place almost simultaneously, so it’s not a very long period of time. At least it’s a few days.
If he remains dead until then, at least Crepin will not be aware of the existence of a living Ed on Aken Island. Although it may not be possible for a lifetime, it is easy for 1-2 years. As long as Tanya keeps her mouth shut.
And in about 1-2 years, it will be enough time for the Ross Taylor family to be destroyed.
“Ugh… But… I wonder if my body is moving… little by little…”
I gradually tried to steady myself and raise my upper body. Still, I feel like strength is coming back to my body as time goes on.
It may be a bit difficult to lead this body back to camp in the rain… but it can’t be helped.
It was that time.
-Whaaaaaaaa!
“The car… I found it…!”
It felt like I could feel the blazing heat. When I asked where the source of the heat was, it was right above my head.
“Oh my god…”
The sight of the giant fire lizard hanging entirely on the cliff was a sight to behold.
Needless to say, the girl who jumped from there was Yenika.
The face of Yenika running across the rocky area at the bottom of the cliff… was so nice to see.
“Wow… My whole body ached and I was on the verge of death… but you found this like this…!”
I smiled with gratitude and waved at Yenika.
It’s so reassuring to have a friend who helps you when you’re having a hard time and shows up when you need it.
First of all, I should explain the situation.
It was the moment when I was about to open my mouth after worrying about where to start.
Yenika ran to where I was and rushed towards me.
“Yeni…”
-Whisk whack!
Yenika fell to the floor with her arms wrapped around my neck… She buried her face in my shoulder and gave me strength in her arms. -Spring rain pouring
down
.
Yenika, who crushed me and hugged me… unlike usual, didn’t say anything.
While contemplating what to say, all I could do was hug Yenika’s back.
“It seems like I always make you worry. I’m sorry, Yenika.”
I felt like Yenika’s head, buried in my shoulder, turned several times.
Maybe… it seemed like his voice wasn’t coming out.
*
– Crackle crackle.
For a wood that was wet with water, it burned fairly well. It seems to be the power of elemental magic.
To call it a cave… is a bit of an understatement. I sat down with Jenika in a hollow at the bottom of the cliff and summarized the whole situation.
“So… Ed, in the end, it would be advantageous in many ways to hold off until the election campaign ends.”
“Yes. I don’t necessarily want the Los Taylor family to know of my survival. If I can persuade Tanya well, I can at least not let my family know of my existence while I am attending this school.”
In fact, it means that it may be more comfortable to live inside Aken Island than to shyly go outside.
“So… You might need to stay hidden for a while. At least until Tanya’s retainers leave… until the student council president election is concluded.” ”
Then I’ll bring you daily necessities and various household tools. Don’t worry too much, Ed.”
“Yes… Thank you always, Yenika. But… the wound is starting to hurt…”
There was a lot of space near the crackling campfire.
However, Yenika had been hugging me tightly ever since I was found at the bottom of the cliff. For
no reason, I felt ashamed of Yenika. I didn’t say anything else because I didn’t want to make it, but my physical condition was slowly reaching its limit.
Yenika swallowed in vain, relaxed her arms… took a deep breath, and spoke.
“I’m sorry… I’m holding Ed. I feel somewhat reassured…”
“…”
“…No, no, can you forget what I just said…?” ”
…”
Yenika wrapped her arms around her knees and hugged them. He was gasping for breath. Seeing him turn red all the way to his ears, I stopped breathing.
I thought about saying something, but the wound started hurting again, so I gathered myself up first.
And then… I stayed quietly outside the cave in the rain. I looked at it.
It seemed like the spring rain would continue for a while, but it wouldn’t last as long as the snow storms in winter or the rainy season in summer.
“There’s still some work left to do…”
For now… I decided to wait for the rain to stop. .
