14 – The First Ordeal (3)

“Thank you for saving me!”

Anyway, the life saver seemed to be enough to make people forget the rumors.

If it was the usual Adele, it would have been natural for the students she encountered to be scared.

“Never mind, I just did the obvious.”

She gestured for her, barely holding back the corner of her mouth that was about to rise, thinking that things were going according to plan.

‘As expected.’

Whether it’s a game or a novel, when the protagonist goes through hardships and trials, rewards follow.

In the academy’s strongest swordsman, that was the growth of the main character and the favorability of the heroines.

If it’s like this case, the reward would be that Kyle earns the favor of both Lucy and Sylvia.

Then why was the main character able to win the favor of the heroines?

Because he saved me from a crisis.

She must be moved by that feeling because Kyle jumped into danger and saved them, regardless of her own body being hurt.

I wanted to use this part.

What is Adele’s problem?

The notoriety of the academy, the ever-increasing number of enemies.

There seems to be a family problem, but it’s not a problem that can be solved here, so let’s move on.

Anyway, I came to this site to get rid of the problem I had by using the fact that I could buy a good impression if I saved it from danger.

“Um… ….”

I looked down at the shadows as I walked along the road littered with building debris.

The sun was in the middle of the sky, and the shadow was all round under the bridge.

“I guess it will be soon.”

I’ve said it once, but in this case, the explosion was only the primary damage.

When the aftermath of the explosion subsides and the situation is sorted out to some extent, the monsters released from the breeding grounds will begin to act.

And to express that time in the academy’s strongest swordsman, those monsters appeared when the shadow was the smallest.

─Auuu!

As if they had been waiting, the monster’s howl came from the other side where the dusty wind was blowing.

From here on, it was time for me to return to a safe place.

Because risking one’s life to get rid of notoriety was like making one’s belly button grow bigger than one’s belly.

“Charlotte, let’s go back now.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As if she had noticed that the situation was getting serious, she answered my question right away.

I’ll carry the guy I saved from the rubble of the building on my shoulder, take him to the doctor, and go back. My work will be over.

Leave the rest to our protagonist, Kyle, and it will work out…….

* * *

A classroom filled more than half with soil.

─────… ….

The soil wriggled like a new sprout, and a slender finger popped out of it.

Fingers burrowed into the soil as if clinging to a cliff, and once more the soil stirred and this time the head was pulled out of the soil.

“Puha…… !”

It was Lucy who came to her senses after being trapped in the dirt that hit the classroom like a tsunami.

Lucy spat out the dirt that was full of his mouth and brushed off the dirt, shaking his head like a cat drying itself.

“Oh, what is this really?”

It was good to recognize the signs of an explosion and hide, but if I had known this would happen, I would not have hidden on the first floor.

Well, in that situation, I think I made a good decision even if it was hidden in the building.

“It looks like it’s all in your clothes.”

Lucy sighed and looked around.

At first, it seemed like no one was there.

Even if it exists, it must be in a state where it can’t get out of the soil.

After confirming that no one was there, Lucy took off his shirt, brushed the dirt off his underwear, and put it back on.

To be honest, I felt uncomfortable down there, but no matter how much I knew there were no people, I didn’t feel like revealing it in a place like this.

It’s just a little uncomfortable.

“Ah… ….”

As Lucy brushed off the dirt and tried to stand up, she felt a throbbing pain in his ankle and frowned.

It must have been an injury caused by colliding with a fallen statue when the building was shaking violently.

“Ah, I think this is broken.”

Unbeknownst to him when he was in the dirt, his ankle was swollen.

I don’t know if I can get out of here because of this.

I thought it would be difficult unless someone came to help.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

Lucy fumbled with her hands, dragging one leg in the dark lecture hall that was blocked with dirt and didn’t let in any light.

Considering the level of Trinity Academy, it would be quick to be rescued, but you never know.

The aftermath of the explosion would be enormous, so it might take a long time to rescue.

Once I was looking for water, I couldn’t find it as expected.

“Wow, that’s a big deal.”

Sitting down on the dirt floor, Lucy murmured.

“Is Kyle going to be okay… ….”

Although he showed a one-sidedly disappointed attitude this morning, the first thing that came to mind was Kyle.

She was in no position to worry about anyone, but she was worried that she might have been hurt by the explosion.

And then, if it was Kyle, she wondered if she would come to her rescue as she was caught in the explosion and her blood was dripping from her head.

Why didn’t she rush to her infirmary when she was attacked by her bullies, although she was a little late?

She found the wrong person to be a little irate, but she did something she couldn’t do to Adele, who was innocent by then.

After all, she was the only one she could trust in this academy.

─Aww!

What she heard at that time sounded like a wolf howling.

She imagined Kyle coming to rescue her, and Lucy, who was raising the corner of her mouth wildly, was startled and almost fell into a bad mood.

“What? What?”

Have you ever heard something like that in this academy?

She found it while quickly browsing Trinity Academy with a map in her head.

A place where there are people who can make such a noise.

“A breeding ground for training monsters?”

Practice is not only for students.

From teaching assistants to professors, there are times when they deal with monsters from time to time to improve their skills.

There are enough dozens of such monsters in the breeding grounds, so if this is true, there will be not a few casualties.

Is Kyle okay…….

Lucy, who was trying to worry, realized that she was in a more dangerous situation and could not escape or resist. The color on her face disappeared.

She herself is now alone, with her ankle broken, trapped in this classroom ──

──Kongkong!

And that concern quickly became a reality.

A sound like horses hooves hitting the ground and a wolf howling could be heard from near the building where Lucy was imprisoned.

Lucy, rolling her eyes here and there, crawled to the corner of the classroom.

I held my breath with my back pressed against the wall where the damp and cold air flowed out.

“… ….”

Just pass by, pass by…….

Lucy repeated those words to herself as she clasped her hands together.

─Kyong-kyong-kyong!

The sound of the monsters was getting closer and then getting further away.

“… ….”

It seemed that he didn’t feel Lucy’s presence and went looking for her prey.

“…… Whoa.”

With that thought, she let out a sigh of relief through her tightly shut mouth.

─Kong! Kong! Kong!

“…… !”

─Kong! Kong! Kong!

The sound that couldn’t get out of the closed space came from right next to Lucy, like an echo.

From noble mtl dot com

The sound was clearly getting closer, and soon the sounds of digging and digging were heard near the classroom where Lucy was confined.

* * *

That’s how Charlotte and I took the nameless guy to the emergency room that was built in a hurry.

After the explosion, the professors who had been rescuing students without a break sat down on the ground to catch their breath, and the hospital beds were full of injured students.

“Quaaagh!”

“Get me some blood packs here!”

Somebody’s screaming in pain and the doctor’s cry to save the patient.

Busy nurses and sick patients curled up on their beds.

In the place where the talented people swept away, there was such a great damage.

And then I saw Sylvia, leaning back in her wheelchair, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

It seems that the character was forced to use it, but his face was so pale that it was hard to tell who needed treatment.

I was going to drop off the patient I brought in and go back, but unfortunately, Sylvia, who was taking a breather, met her eyes.

“… ….”

She looked at me and flicked her hand as if to look.

It was a gesture Adele was not used to.

“Cough, Cough. Ha, goodbye…….”

As I approached and tried to lower her head, Sylvia raised her hand to restrain her.

The voice was so low and trembling that he must have thought that I couldn’t understand him.

She seemed to be aware of her physical condition.

“I heard from professors… …. You rescued many students.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

“It’s better than a nobleman faking an illness with only a scratch.”

Sylvia looked me up and down, wiping the blood from her mouth with her handkerchief as she coughed a moment ago.

A cloud of dust as if rolled from a pigsty, and blood dripping from torn clothes from scratches from the sharp rubble of a building.

Fortunately, it was more of a display than the aristocrats who acted rudely.

“It’s wonderful that you were on set until your body was like that.”

“Not quite like that.”

“Well, I think you’d better get a simple treatment and rest. It’s good to look back.”

“Yes, I understand.”

I lightly bowed my head and said hello.

“The saintess doesn’t look good, so please don’t overdo it.”

“Collock, can the saintess take a break in this situation?”

“Even if they are called saints, they are the same. It is natural to rest when you are resting.”

“… ….”

Sylvia stared at me with her slightly widened eyes.

I looked back to see if I had done something wrong, but nothing like that…… There would be no

No, there should be none.

Her actions that are stamped on by the saintess can cause tens of millions of church members to become assassins who want to kill me at a single word from her.

“This is the first time anyone other than Alessia has said such a thing. Everyone else is busy asking me for a helping hand.”

Fortunately, it didn’t look like there was something wrong.

“Anyway, I’ve been holding on to it for a long time. It’s really good to go now.”

“Yes.”

I was about to leave the emergency room with a sigh of relief.

“…… ?”

I thought I saw a familiar face between the curtains, so I returned to her steps and stared through her curtains.

At the same time, dozens of question marks appeared above my head.

Because it was such an incomprehensible sight.

“No, why are you down…… ?”

Kyle Leonhardt, the main character of the academy’s strongest swordsman.

The guy who was supposed to save Lucy and Sylvia was lying unconscious on the bed with a bandage on her head.
