Chapter 93.2. The Second Year at the Academy - Ordeal (2)


So I met Sword Flash in a place like this.

And to top it off, he's wielding divine magic. He's like a holy knight. I don't know you well.

The other knights and attendants aren't that much of a problem, and the maids are non-combatants.

More troublesome than Sword Flash is the little girl.

Luchena Inine Walber.

The girl's true identity is that of the daughter of a count in the northeast of Selene.

Just that — being the count's daughter alone extinguished our advantage.

Even among nobles, those above counts are a different class, true nobility with immense influence.

Ishmira noticed the girl's true identity.

And she realized that this isn't someone we can negotiate with.

Zeret and the others still held their hostility.

They're refraining from attacking with their usual zeal because they sense that Sword Flash is no ordinary opponent. 

As evidence, they're only focused on Sword Flash.

But the real danger is the little girl. 

Can't their instincts at least tell them that much?

Anyway, once the battle starts, [Eternal Harvest] will be systematically slaughtered.

Even if we miraculously win, it's ultimately a loss.

If we harm the count's daughter, we'll be pursued for the rest of our lives. The guild won't be able to protect us, so we'll have to abandon the country.

I don't owe these guys anything, but..."

"Back off."

I stood in front of the two and said curtly.

However, Zeret protested.

"But, aniki! These guys are taking our prey—"

"I said back off. Don't make things worse. This isn't your moment."

I silenced Zeret with a stern tone.

Then I turned and knelt before the group.

"We've noticed that you've taken our prey. Regardless of the reasons, that's not allowed. We may be crude adventurers, and we might have spoken and acted unpleasantly. We apologize once again."

As I lowered my head deeply, I felt the knights' hostility diminishing.

In contrast, a sense of dissatisfaction swirled behind me.

While maintaining the same posture, I sent a strong gaze behind to intimidate, and at the same time, I gestured with my eyes to kneel.

Zeret and Belden reflexively started to say something, but prompted by Ismhira and Corpus, they managed to kneel.

Honestly, even just apologizing is quite a struggle.

Their judgment isn't wrong, but only in a world without social status.

"We adventurers are people with no other skills but to fight. After committing such a blunder, I wonder how we can apologize properly. As a form of reparation, we will all search for new prey. We will surely find something greater than orcs..."

I thought it would be difficult. Beyond orcs, the challenges are substantial in this area. Dokol is rare, but it can't be considered above orcs. I plan to search even if it's by force, but if it doesn't work out, I'll have to display a large number of monsters and magic stones. Magic stones have a value greater than gems; even a small reduction in the fee should be possible.

"Raise your head."

At the voice of a young girl, I raised my head.

Simultaneously, I was surprised.

What is she up to!?

Instinctively, I turned my face away, but a [Shock Bolt] hit my shoulder, causing sharp pain and convulsions throughout my body.

Out of the blue, this is the first time I've ever taken an attack spell.

In quick succession, Luchena fired [Shock Bolts] at me, hitting my abdomen and right chest.

"Surprisingly resilient."

The little girl looked down at me with a curious expression as I knelt with one hand on the ground.

"Big brother!!"

She held out her palm to restrain Zeret and Belden.

As long as she avoids vital points, I haven't trained in a way to withstand this level of magic. Still, if it were a beginner or an ordinary person, they would undoubtedly be dead.

She doesn't see people as people.

To her, anyone other than nobility is a bug, or even lower.

She's got a deeply ingrained sense of being chosen among the nobility.

I always expected to encounter someone like her, but I didn't think it would be in such an inconvenient situation.

Enduring the pain that already faded away, I knelt on my other knee.

With a quick glance, I saw that Luchena was looking down calmly, and her guards wore smug smiles.

Seems like a bunch of scum, both master and servant.

I want to say Sword Flash is different, but she was gazing at me with a probing look.

She must have some inkling that I'm not the type to die from a few beginner-level spells.
