82 – Restart

Early morning.

After a long time, Neneto and Bella,

And the three of us gathered at the restaurant for breakfast.

“Lai! Long time no see!!”

“…Yes. How’s Bella doing?”

“Huhhhhh! Then!”

“The amount of meat is still huge.”

“It’s nice to be able to eat without thinking about the academy!”

Bella picked up a large piece of meat with a bright smile, right before taking a huge bite.

“… Oh right!”

Bella opened her mouth to Neneto.

“Neneto. Did you finish well?”

To finish?

Turning her head to look at Neneto,

Neneto can be seen tapping a cherry tomato with a fork with her frown on.

From noble mtl dot com

“… The finish?”

“Ah… There is. Something like that.”

“Looking at that reaction… You ran away again?”

??

Escape?

Has anything happened to Neneto during vacation?

The moment I couldn’t stand my curiosity and tried to ask,

Bella started to explain to me with a grin.

“…Beast tribes have their own wedding customs in each region.”

“Marriage customs?”

“Yeah. There’s such a thing. The strongest male wins the beautiful female!”

“…Such barbaric customs still exist?”

“Of course, it’s not that much these days. But there are still a few left in the elderly,

Do you feel like you are implicitly connected even among the younger generation?”

… To put it simply, it feels like they decided to marry each other’s children.

“So. What about that?”

“The local customs around us are a bit peculiar, because opossums don’t have high physical abilities by nature.

Since ancient times, it has often been ignored by the surrounding villages.”

“…Isn’t it?”

“So we, weak females with strong males,

Wouldn’t there be no problem if a weak male married a strong female? There is a culture called!”

Wow.

That’s a very clear answer.

“…Wait a minute.”

In that sense,

Neneto can’t strengthen his body at all…

“…That’s great Neneto. If you had a reliable girlfriend, you should’ve introduced me too.”

“Be quiet.”

“But Kirue really likes Neneto, doesn’t he?”

“Haa… I don’t want to mess with that ignorant guy.”

“…What kind of person are you?”

If you’re still the strongest among Neneto’s peers,

Isn’t it already making a name for itself at the academy?

However, Bella’s explanation that followed was shocking.

She is a girl named Kirue who has built up various legends since she was a child.

She already had a history of beating monsters by herself several times, and she was already scouted by the guild.

“… That she beat a hound wolf with her bare hands when she was 8 years old?”

“Yes! I should have seen the expressions of the village elders at that time…!”

“This story ends here.”

Neneto hurriedly changed the topic of conversation with a displeased expression.

“Come to think of it, school starts tomorrow. Is everyone ready?”

“Ready?”

“You know. This and that.”

“I don’t want to go back to school…”

“Okay. Now I go to class every day and do homework… Ha ha…”

“Right! I don’t want to wake up early!”

“… It’s just that you’re still in love.”

I think you’re a lover enough to complain before that.

Of course, it will change as classes become companies and go to work as they grow, but…

Come to think of it, I have a lot of work to do today.

It’s the second semester, so I need to change the textbook for the theory class..

I need to iron my school uniform…

Ugh.

By the way.

‘…Why isn’t he coming?’

There is already only one day left until school starts.

Selina still hasn’t arrived.

‘…Let’s send a text message.’

When she texted me when she would arrive at the academy,

A reply came quickly.

– Yes? Ah. I am going through the formalities now.

Procedures?

“What are you doing…?”

-It just went well. Do you want to come to the stable?

A stable?

The stable is a horse prepared for the operation of the wagon in case of an emergency,

For students interested in horses, it was a space for equestrian classes taught as an additional liberal arts class.

Obviously the location…

‘Was the production and dormitory left?’

Let’s visit the stable while retracing the school information pamphlet we looked at at the beginning of admission.

“Here it is!”

-Hee hee hee!

Among the countless words,

Selina was shaking her hand with her head sticking out.

‘…Why are you doing that here?’

Let’s approach Selina like that.

“Selah. Daddy’s here!”

“… What?”

Keruk!!

Suddenly, something rushed from the side.

‘What…. What?’

Pu-wook!

Fortunately, I didn’t feel any pain thanks to the hay piled up around me…

I feel something warm on her face and lift her head.

‘…?’

An unidentified animal similar in size to the surrounding horses.

But thanks to the big eyes and the wings on the back,

It was not difficult to guess what this animal really was.

‘… This is Selah?’

“It’s ridiculous. Didn’t you just have a dog a while ago?”

“It suddenly grew bigger at some point. There was no intermediate process.”

“It suddenly got bigger?”

“Yes. I don’t think it grows over time.”

That’s what I can tell just by looking at the guy who still thinks my body is the size of a puppy.

“Then doesn’t it suddenly grow? Is it okay to bring it like this?”

“…I can’t help it. As the child gets older, the master-servant consciousness becomes stronger, so he doesn’t eat well unless I give it to him.”

“The academy managed to get permission.”

“That’s… The headmaster put a little effort into it.”

Ah.

Definitely.

Veronica had already finished explaining the beads.

For Veronica, who knows about the orb containing the power of Burimi,

Seeing Selina’s application form, she must have easily thought of him.

“Still, she’s a smart kid, so I listen to her very well. Thanks to her, she passed the procedure with ease.”

At the same time as he said that, he bowed his head as if to ask for praise.

Chuck-

Sseudam sseudam.

… I don’t even squirm anymore.

“Yes. Nice.”

“I only eat once a day, but…”

“But?”

“… It seems to eat a little bit of my mana every day.”

“Eat mana…?”

‘Wait a minute.’

I urgently summoned Leia and activated the fantasy eye.

I can feel golden mana filling up in my eyes,

The surrounding scenery changes.

-This is…!

Thread?

No,

To describe this as thread…

Innumerable strands of mana,

The relationship between Selina and the guy was connected.

Selina’s mana enters the guy’s body and circulates,

A form in which the circulating mana goes back to Selina again.

-Sueuk.

Even if you try to catch her with mana in your hands just in case,

My hand passes through it as naturally as smoke.

‘In terms of connection, it’s the same as Burimi…’

Unlike Burimi, which unilaterally injects and steals mana with numerous strands,

These two were sharing each other’s mana.

This must have had some effect on Selina…

“…?”

“Selina. Anything strange these days?”

A surprise.

“You. Those eyes…”

“Ah. Hold on.”

Quietly close her eyes and retrieve her mana into her eyeballs.

-Slowly.

Returns to its original red eyes.

Selina, who was looking at her in wonder, opened her mouth.

“I heard about it the other day… You really became a hero.”

“You can’t fake being a hero.”

“…Should I call you the warrior?”

“Please don’t do that.”

Puppuppupuppup.

He smiles his eyes as always and starts making strange laughter.

“Anyway. Do you feel anything when you are with Selah?”

“Feel it? Um… Well?”

“Did you use mana?”

“No..?”

“Try it.”

After hearing my words, Selina suddenly put on a questioning expression, as if asking why,

Within seconds, she quietly closed her eyes and began to circulate mana through her body.

And.

“I can feel something. Something green…”

“What’s green?”

“That… I don’t know.”

“…Don’t do that.”

“Were you worried?”

“Rather than worry…”

There’s no way that guy would do anything that would harm Selina,

It was just a question out of curiosity, but…

“…”

I didn’t have the courage to say that to those expectant eyes.

“Selah. I’m ashamed of you, Daddy.”

-Kerung!

What.

If they’re happy, that’s it.

“…Then I’m leaving now?”

“Ah. School starts tomorrow, right? I’ll have to go and prepare soon, too.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow.”

Smile.

“See you tomorrow.”

“Kerung!”

Lastly, Selina waved her hand lightly to see her off.

She

As soon as she returned, she got ready with Neneto, and the day passed by in a blink of an eye.

**

The school day has finally arrived.

– Wow. Who is this? Aren’t you a great person who chews up all contact?

– No… Did something happen during vacation?

– What. I don’t have any friends, did you have anything to do?

– See what this bastard is talking about?

Woong-goo-go-go.

Inside Class 1 A.

As soon as I opened the door, I strode towards the window.

Vampires talking with Kirna in the distance,

From the high-decibel beastmen to Shin Jong-gil sitting next to Yoon Mi-rae, whom he sees for the first time in a while.

‘… Has nothing changed.’

As if it was a time when there was no vacation,

The same scenery as before.

Of course, if something has changed.

-Wow… This is the academy..!

Just the fact that there is Leah looking around with her eyes wide open?

“… I can’t see it. Leah.”

– Ah! Sorry!

Sug-

Let’s move to a corner to avoid Leah flying in front of us.

Selina greeted her with a bright smile.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Roughly pull a chair and sit at an angle.

“…Something seems to have happened to me at school yesterday.”

“That’s right. I’m sure I’ve been off for over a month…”

While exchanging light jokes with Selina like that.

-Kik.

The classroom door opened and a face I hadn’t seen in a really long time walked in.

For the dark circles that are still deeply under the eyes,

Sloppy glasses and tousled hair.

“… Long time no see. Have a seat.”

It’s a bonus to look like you’re going to die of exhaustion right now.

‘It’s time to suffer.’

There must be a lot of talk between the family and the country right now.

If you hadn’t held a professorship at the academy, which is a neutral zone,

You must have really become a panda by now.

“It’s distracting.”

Drreuk-

As Professor Bergen began to pull down the blackboard,

The sound from the surroundings stopped all at once.

Tak. Tadak. Widely.

“I brought you a suitable assignment to let you know that it is not vacation anymore.”

‘Guild dispatch practice’

Writing on a huge blackboard in Professor Bergen’s sloppy handwriting.

“…Guild dispatch?”

“Yes. For some time to come, you guys will leave the academy and become members of the party directly in the guild.”

“Suddenly?”

“Then how long have you been trying to learn theory only?

Even at this moment, the number of active duty soldiers is absurdly insufficient.”

‘It’s too much to take the kids.’

To say the least, how safe the academy was.

The children who have escaped from the sweet dream of vacation,

Everyone was coming back to reality.

“… Anyway, the first schedule for the second semester is the guild dispatch practice.

Details will be announced again from the time the distribution of guilds is over.”

Then…

Chin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Bergen put his head down on his desk.

Unlike him, my head was spinning fast.

‘…Why is it so fast?’

Guild dispatch practice.

Of course, that’s what I know.

The problem is that the guild dispatch practice took place in the middle of the second semester,

The point in the middle of the second semester.

Sungjinha was not at school.

“…”

From noble mtl dot com

There are few reasons for the academy’s practice schedule to change.

As Professor Bergen said, the guild didn’t have enough hands, so we applied for support a little earlier, or

Or…

Whether it is on the dimension side,

Or it meant starting to make an impact somewhere else.

And either way.

“Ha…”

At least that an uncertain future awaits,

I was able to know this through my experience so far.
