47 – 47. Sniping

The night sky was distorted.

The moonlight that comforted the Milky Way has disappeared,

Red Magi takes its place.

The existence of ‘that’ that obscures the moon itself, as if mocking all living things beneath its feet.

Everyone could feel that uneasiness.

The coachman pulling a carriage in the outskirts,

The instructors who asked about the students’ condition,

The one who was grabbed by the collar and the one who was grabbed.

The rooftop was no exception.

“That…” . What?”

Rooftop of the main auditorium.

Two women closest to the night sky.

Hera and Adela.

Their eyes shined bright red, reflecting the magical energy that embroidered the sky.

“No way, that is a target… ?”

Hera was the first to come to her senses.

She immediately activated the magic circle, and the large frame began to rotate in such a way that her majesty could be felt.

Wow-

·

But.

“Come to your senses, Adella!”

“Ugh….”

Firepower that will hit you in that magic circle. Adela’s eyes, which are supposed to fire the Heavenly Fire, waver mercilessly.

aaah-!

·

A cry that does not sound like a human.

A demon that makes you go crazy just by looking at it.

A transcendent being that has never been encountered before.

A feeling of fear that attacks your body along with your instincts,

A terrible burden that you feel because you can guess what you have to do from now on.

To receive all those emotions at once,

She was still young.

The head, unable to hold on, faces downward.

“I, I…” .”

I can’t do it.

You can’t believe you’re shooting something like that.

I don’t have the confidence to handle it when I go astray.

Just before being eaten by emotions.

Jalang-

Something fell from the trembling coat.

As if grasping at a straw,

The focus that has nowhere to go clings to that object.

“This…” .”

Silver badge.

The instructor’s property,

A souvenir symbolizing the highest evaluation score.

The silver piece of metal that Ivan threw into her pocket.

She finally brought her back to her reality.

“Whoa.”

I closed my eyes.

The tremors of the whole body slowly stop.

Finally, the moment when that silence reached her arms.

She picked up the badge,

I thought about what had happened so far.

Adella was led by Ivan’s hand and climbed from the 6th floor warehouse to the rooftop.

When she opened the rooftop door, she was quite surprised.

“…What is this all about?”

“It is a test bench.”

Someone came first to this place that was thought to be empty.

That too, a female professor.

Wearing a white lab coat.

Numerous auxiliary magic tools were scattered around her, and a huge magic circle was formed on the outskirts of the rooftop.

Because the mana circuit had not been inserted yet, the center was empty. Although it didn’t shine.

The professor bluntly called the instructor.

“Ugh, Ivan! “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting?”

“Are you busy on a moonlit night?”

“No matter what, it’s cold at this time!”

I replied indifferently and looked at the back of the instructor as he approached the magic circle.

I felt a sense of discomfort.

Even though the professor and instructor were on equal footing, they were not truly equal.

However, I soon found out the reason.

“Is the installation complete?”

“You’ll know it when you see it. It was over long ago. Surely you won’t say you can’t do it now?”

“Hmm.”

The frame of a magic circle that could easily tip over a ship as tall as a pole. The instructor puts his left hand into it.

At that moment, the mana circuit began to fill the huge central drawing paper.

Chrrr-

So quickly and precisely.

Mana circuits that mesh, resonate, and harmonize with each other in real time.

It was the most mechanical and fastest design Adela had ever seen in her life.

The professor next to me seemed to feel the same way.

“Oh my god.”

Before the end, there was a slightly outdated exclamation befitting the title of professor.

The mana circuits that filled the magic circle began to rotate in perfect alignment.

“The frame is so large that the magic circle disappears before the mana circuit is established.”

He said mockingly.

“This is too trivial a reason for failure.”

Although it was a technical story for Adela to understand, she could vaguely understand the situation.

The female professor’s expression said it all.

Astonishment, admiration, and even absurdity at the sarcasm.

However, I did not dare to respond.

The theory was overturned and became the established theory.

That may be the basis for the feeling that the relationship between that professor and instructor goes beyond equality and seems to be a little more biased toward the opposite class.

Only then does the instructor turn around.

“Adela, this way.”

From noble mtl dot com

Adela, overwhelmed by the situation, skips any response and moves forward.

She was set up in front of the magic circle.

It stopped working because the magic power was released, but it was already stabilized and could be operated at any time.

“You must have brought a thousand flowers.”

“Yes? Yes.”

“What you are going to do now is a simple target hit. “It’s embarrassing to even call it an evaluation.”

He explained.

He said he would make the female professor’s failed research a success, and that you would be in charge of the demonstration.

To be precise, it was said that the firepower of the two Cheonhwa units would be combined to double the firepower.

“So, what is the target?”

“It will go up in a little while.”

“How do you know it’s a target?”

“…You will get a feel for it when you see it.”

I was scolded all the way up to my throat for having a knack for making even simple words difficult.

The last question remained.

“What if…” . “If I don’t get it right, what is my evaluation grade?”

“Hmm.”

He crossed his arms as if he was annoyed.

“It will be okay. “You can think about it later.”

She gave a lukewarm answer and went back.

It was the same thing she had heard before, but that wasn’t the problem now.

“…”

“Hmm.”

A female professor and a female student who have never met each other.

The problem is that only those two are left on the rooftop, waiting for an unknown target.

But, did they say that time is medicine?

When the minute hand of the watch I was staring at rotated fifteen times.

“…Student, what is your name?”

“This is Adela Cathy.”

“Aha, that senior friend.”

I was able to start the first conversation,

Thanks to the strange atmosphere of the moonlight, we were able to quickly become friends.

This was all good news because it was all about personal connections.

“That instructor must have made a deal with the devil.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is no doubt that they traded ability and personality. “How can people be so extreme?”

“Puhup.”

I also talked behind Ivan’s back about something that inevitably happens when members of Russell’s group meet each other.

“But these days, I hear a lot of funny stories.”

“I can’t deny that either.”

“It seems like the direction of his personality has subtly changed. “Is it my imagination?”

“No, I felt it too. “From the beginning, they divided the lectures into classes and scolded commoners for why they came to the academy.”

Yes. It was from then on.

At the time, I thought the crazy guy had done something new again.

“I’m curious about that too. “What kind of grand goal did the first-year valedictorian come to the academy with?”

“Goal….”

Her goal was simple.

Maintain grades as high as possible,

After graduating like that,

Obtaining the title of honorary nobleman.

It was a goal that her father and she desired for different reasons.

My father is for the family.

And she-

“I’m trying to find someone.”

In a moment when we were young, we promised each other a future.

It was to end up with the noble child I had been looking for.

Although he is older than her, he smiles more innocently than her, so she will always remember him as her child.

She didn’t even have to hide it, it was her life’s goal.

“It’s special.”

“I hear it often.”

The friendly atmosphere was short-lived.

The downstairs is noisy,

The air on a moonlit night also changed strangely.

“…Adela, over there!”

The place the female professor pointed to was the dormitory.

The sight of two different dormitories, each with a huge barrier.

Below, the instructors were running in a hurry.

“This is something we must avoid too-“

“…Well.”

Something was definitely wrong,

It is something that cannot be easily taken off.

It was an action based on experience.

The instructor who had already handled a similar situation,

An ominous yet reasonable thought that there was no way she and her heavenly flower would have just been left standing here.

And, it eventually became reality.

She opened her closed eyes.

A lot of memories passed through, but in terms of time, it took less than a second.

Now it was time to act.

She lifted her lowered head and faced the crisis in front of her head on.

“Adela, can you do it?”

“I have to do it.”

Two pieces of Cheonhwa come out of her arms.

The mana thread connected to the petal is,

I was still trembling slightly.

“Pfft.”

The badge that Ivan put in her coat.

He, before she could make up her mind.

The evaluation has already been completed and approved.

‘It’ll be okay. ‘You can think about it later.’

There was no way it would be okay,

Later will not come.

It was an absurd consolation.

But, for some reason, it occurred to me.

The fact that I have heard him speak in the same tone somewhere before.

“That’s right, definitely back then….”

Myself apologizing to the child in my memory.

The tone of voice of the child who returned Adela’s apology with a smile when she was young.

‘It’ll be okay, I’ll think about it later.’

They are surprisingly similar.

“Ha.”

It was a terribly unpleasant imagination, but

The trembling stopped as if it was a lie.

It’s definitely a coincidence, or she’s just experiencing a short-term mental illness.

“I’ll have to find out later.”

She is finally in perfect condition.

I was able to collect two Cheonhwa.

Wow-

The magic circle resonates,

The maximum amount of magical energy that can be contained in a cloth is put into it.

Both petals are facing the same direction.

Soon, it fires.

Paang!

Two mana bullets are concentrated at one point.

Towards a distant goal, move in a straight line.

In the end, she did as he thought.

Chuck!

By piercing the iron-clad skin,

I proved that I received the highest score in advance.

The possessed person must live in the future.

Moreover, if he is a speedrun gamer like me, he must also know how to omit the future.

So, the future where that guy runs away in a hurry to save his life.

At the same time, I had to prepare for a future in which I would struggle so much with emotions.

Originally, getting caught while running away is a bad thing,

For some reason, I sometimes take that route.

That’s why I took out insurance,

I also entrusted that important responsibility to Adela.

There was a solid basis.

During the first raid.

On the center stage of the large auditorium, he is a student sniping at the eyes of a monster on the other side whose angle is difficult to capture.

That’s possible, but there’s no way I can’t get that right.

I was confident of her success,

Because I knew the future would mean that he would fall before his wings even fully spread.

When that guy was still floating with great momentum,

I was able to run right underneath it.

Miho was also following behind.

Chuck!

“…What are you talking about?”

“You were right.”

The sound of the strong armor being pierced,

A roar that is a mixture of the screams of humans and monsters.

I raised my head and checked above.

Velen falls helplessly.

No, something that was Velen.

The guy who lost his wings and started to fall,

Wait right below.

With that thread-like breath,

It was time to end this bad relationship.
