Chapter 246 – 246. Blue Taste (2)
●
The secretary of Elfante’s student council was, in fact, a position where many of the most combative students of all time lived, despite the seemingly calm title.
Of course, he is in charge of student-related affairs in Elfante, where all kinds of great nobles frequently visit.
If you become directly involved with the children or yourself of such people, whether you like it or not, your courage will grow and your spirit will grow stronger.
Of course, there are still many people that Beatrix, the current secretary, has difficulty dealing with.
“…We sincerely welcome you on your visit to El Fante, Count Nicholas.”
She opened her mouth like that with a flawless and smooth smile.
However, the reputation surrounding this person, in contrast to his appearance, leaves an even more bizarre impression.
slaughterer.
The human who killed the most lives in the empire.
In fact, it is the human being who is responsible for the greatest share of the disappearance of sub-races in this country.
“We will do our best to ensure that you do not experience any inconvenience during your stay.”
“Where is Dowd Campbell?”
“…”
Beatrix, whose smile almost cracked, managed her expression with difficulty as she answered.
“…I am offended, Count. It is against school regulations to carelessly disclose information about students. ”
“Is that so.”
Count Nicholas heard those words and tilted his head expressionlessly.
“That’s strange. “I asked the faculty and they told me to go to the student council and ask.”
After hearing those words, Beatrix pondered the gossip in her mind.
‘I barely understand…’
The fact that they said that is a de facto rejection.
Passing the agenda over to the student council, which the president is directly protecting, means that they are a difficult target to deal with, so please issue an order to banish the students instead.
“…We probably did it that way because we had the authority. However, I am truly sorry for your request, but I think it will be difficult to accept it.”
“Is that so.”
Once again, that answer came out calmly.
“All right. “If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.”
At first glance, she seemed to understand and retreat, but Beatrix suddenly felt an ominous feeling running down her spine.
Nicholas’ words that immediately followed explained that feeling.
“I will personally find it and contact you with the authority of the Presbyterian Church. “It looks like Elfante has no intention of cooperating.”
“…”
This means that Elfante is clearly hiding the student from himself.
Nevertheless, it is none of my business and I am going to rush in and achieve what I want.
‘…You idiot…!’
Beatrix thought like that and touched her head.
Because I couldn’t bear the headache that was coming.
“…Count.”
Next, she opened her mouth in a slightly muffled voice.
“El Fante is the Imperial Academy, and is an area under the protection of the President of Atalanta.”
Count Nicholas tilted his head expressionlessly again.
“So?”
“…”
This damn human being.
Even though I understood everything, why bother again…!
Beatrix gritted her teeth inwardly.
It’s probably not something I would say as a student, but I can’t help it.
“…If you do something that violates school rules, we have no choice but to impose sanctions.”
It was a sentence that carried the authority of not just the president, but also the emperor.
The answer that followed still flowed without hesitation.
“That’s okay.”
Rather, there was an expression that looked like a smile.
“…yes?”
“If you can stop it, try to stop it. “I’m also curious to see how far you can go.”
Beatrix’s expression becomes blank for a moment.
“I need to see that guy. “No matter what you say.”
After saying those words, Count Nicholas immediately left the student council room.
The gait was so brisk that even the other student council members who were watching with nervous expressions nearby were dazed.
“…Stop, Senpai…”
Long after Count Nicholas left the room.
One of the juniors who finally came to his senses opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
“That person said he would rather fight with His Majesty and the President than not be able to see that person named Dowd…?”
“…”
I don’t think there’s any need to explain it in words.
My head hurts enough already.

Let’s state something obvious.
Liru is by no means an easy opponent.
Although the ‘entry into the spirit world’ event, which is close to the final strengthening, has not yet occurred, it is certain that it is scary just looking at its current state.
He has martial arts skills that reach the level of an expert, magical powers, the Blue Devil’s power of ‘crushing’, and even the ability to see the future, although it is imperfect.
Although I have decent qualifications for a close fight, I’m sure I’m an opponent who could die if I make a mistake.
As I was thinking about that and looking at Liru on the other side of the training ground, something suddenly came out of the other person’s mouth.
“You learned fighting skills from your grandmother.”
“…Yes?”
Rather than learning it, I just ate it raw as a skill.
“I know how to use magic.”
“…Yes?”
I also ate it raw.
“I also know how to use strange powers related to demons or whatever.”
“…”
It was also eaten raw with a seal given by the Gray Devil.
[This guy has really become strong without conscience…]
“…”
why. what.
If I didn’t do that, I would die right away, so I have no shame.
Thinking like that, Liru, who had been talking like that, soon let out a deep sigh.
“I mean, I’ve thought about it.”
Liru muttered those words.
It’s an ambiguous question to answer, so let’s just stand there blankly. The words continued to be muttered again.
“The only thing I’m good at is fighting, but these days, I keep getting the feeling that I’ve become strong enough to go far away on my own.”
That’s… it definitely feels that way.
This gap would seem unreasonable to someone who devotes most of their daily life to training.
“If I just leave it there, it keeps attracting strange people here and there.”
“…”
“There is not even a single one of them, a warrior, the best assassin on the continent, a wizard with an enemy in the Magic Tower, and the emperor of an empire…”
“…”
“I’m asking you to compete or not. “No matter what, fair conditions must be met for me to rush forward with enthusiasm…”
“Liru…?”
I call the other person, who is muttering with unfocused eyes, slightly cold sweating.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden? awfully.
And the other person who kept saying those words sighed again and raised his head.
“…Well, I guess it’s okay.”
Liru raised her head with an awkward expression, scratched her head and adjusted her posture.
“Anyway, this is all I can do.”
The attack came quickly in the next moment.
“…!”
I’ve been there once before, but the mind-bogglingly fast speed even then feels like it’s several times faster now.
[ A crisis situation is detected. ] [ Determine whether the other person is trying to seriously injure you. ] [Skill: Applies desperate death to Grade A. ] [ Activates ‘Skill: Swordsman’s Concentration’! ]
A familiar window pops up every time I’m in a crisis, and combined with the skills I instantly activate, the surroundings instantly slow down.
In the past, thanks to this, Liru’s movements seemed a bit slow, but now it feels like they have slowed down to a level where you can simply react with moving-body vision.
It could be said that this person has become that much faster.
‘How long have you been training…!’
Just by looking at this momentum, it feels like this person’s face is explained in an instant.
Even compared to the Red Night incident, the speed has clearly increased. You don’t even need to look to see what level of training he went through to grow to this level in a short period of time.
“…sigh!”
One breath.
While taking a brief breath, at least 10 consecutive blows are exchanged.
He defends a sweeping low kick by slightly raising his leg, rolls his shoulder to block a series of punches coming from the blind spot, and at the same time as the fist is recovered, he raises his hand to catch the high kick that flows out like water.
Once, once, every time a number is exchanged, an ear-splitting sound echoes in all directions. The tiles on the sparring room floor were shaking, the walls were shaking, and even the ceiling was shaking slightly.
“-Whoa.”
And the moment he exhaled, Liru, who was still holding his leg, supported his body with his leg and pulled his whole body up.
Hang your body in the air. As if I had jumped into the sky using my hand as a lever.
“wow…!”
It was a move so graceful that someone in the audience let out an exclamation.
Liru jumped up in a move that seemed to defy the laws of physics, and then used her heel as a footstool to land on where I was.
Let go of the leg you were holding and walk sideways. Liru’s leg hit the spot where I was just now, shattering the entire sparring hall floor.
There was a lull after that.
Position yourself at a slight distance from each other.
“…”
“…”
The humans who came around to watch were unable to say anything and just opened their mouths.
“…I heard that all the humans in the exorcism club are monsters…”
“Is it that much…?”
“It looks like neither of you broke a drop of sweat…”
A voice filled with emotions beyond surprise spreads around.
Just 1 second.
An exchange of hands that was almost like a warm-up.
And with that alone, the surrounding environment is already a mess.
“…is that a fight between students?”
“…Life is like a dog.”
“What have we been doing all this time…?”
“…”
It seems that it had the side effect of dampening the motivation of students who were studying hard around them.
I understand.
Although it is depicted that way in the game, the competition between superhumans in Savior Rising is an acrobatic fight that takes place in units of comma seconds or less.
Although it is not at the level of the monsters that received the title of saint, it is possible for Liru, who is a talented insect, and I, a rare flying insect, to imitate them.
The person who created such a scene was wiping his head in dissatisfaction.
“…Yes, you.”
Liru opened her mouth with narrowed eyes.
“Why don’t you attack?”
“…”
“You just take it and pass it on. No matter how close we are, this is sparring. “If I do it like a joke, they won’t notice?”
“…”
Instead of saying something to Liru who said such a thing, I swallowed the sentence.
‘…No matter what, I don’t want to hurt you.’
Instead of answering like that, he just smiles bitterly.
Because if I say this straight away, I don’t know what this incompetent person will do due to his personality.
“…Hmm.”
Liru’s eyes narrowed when she saw my reaction as I stood still without saying a word.
“After all, this isn’t a big deal, right?”
With those words.
Blue demonic energy blooms steadily from its body.
“Then, am I serious too?”
[ A crisis situation is detected. ] [It is judged to be a direct threat to life. ] [Skill: Applies desperate death to EX level. ]
“…!”
no.
This crazy person…!
“…for a moment. Wait.”
I open my mouth, a little cold sweat rolling down my back.
“why.”
“Like Liru said, this is sparring. But if you bring out the ability to change the opponent just by touching it…!”
“I think I won’t be able to beat you if I don’t use this, why?”
“…No, why so much…?”
Even if it’s sparring, isn’t it a bit strange to go to that level?
It was a question filled with such doubts.
“…”
Liru was silent for a moment.
Then take a breath. It looks like something is very difficult to say.
“…Liru?”
“me too…”
When I cautiously called out to him, Liru immediately opened his mouth with a red face.
It is a firm voice that contains shame, embarrassment, but a determination that cannot be backed down.
“I’m going to eat you too…!”
“…”
“I just keep getting overtaken by other guys…! That’s because I really want to try something sticky and dense, why! “Are you dissatisfied?”
“…”
oh my god.
Are you declaring this in front of everyone else?
In fact, there are people in the audience who are dumbfounded after hearing this.
“…What on earth are you two doing?”
“As expected, Elfante’s greatest playboy, mythical scum, and greatest libertine of all time…”
“…”
It feels like there’s some strange undertones involved, though.
[If this is enough, give it a try, dude.]
“…”
[He’s running at me so desperately, but it’s not like he’s even worn out…]
I will kill you someday.
Even if it’s in a ghost state, it somehow revives it and turns it back into a ghost. Do you understand?
