013. Bet (2)

The game started again.

First, the wind spirit struck with a wind cutter.

I sneakily dodged the attack.

It couldn’t have been shallow water.

While some of the spirits in the back waited, the wind spirits rushed in.

Like a goalkeeper, Tia did not close the distance.

“Kyaew!”

Hit the spirit’s head with a wooden sword.

As it is, one of the wind spirits is Retire.

In that state, sand rose from the ground.

It was to hold my ankle.

I dodged the attack by slightly lifting my leg.

Then sparks flew like a linked attack.

Again, he turned his body and let out the flames.

A warm flame passed through my chest.

If the attack misses at this point, it might be embarrassing, but Tia was calm.

As if all these situations were calculated.

The Earth Spirit and the Fire Spirit attacked again.

Did I wait until I was physically exhausted?

My plan this time was to get through it by the edge so that she wouldn’t hurt her pride.

“It’s the number 2 formation!”

At that command, dust rose.

A link between the wind and earth spirits.

I backed off abruptly.

As she held out her hand like a conductor, a wind spirit pounced from behind.

“Formation 17!”

The number 17 formation… .

How many times have you made it in such a short amount of time?

It was a bit of a surprise.

Since then, the 3rd, 5th and 8th formations have continued.

However, I dodged their attacks with minimal movement.

In the meantime, there were three spirits that were retired.

It was a spirit of fire, earth, and wind.

“It’s the number 1 formation!”

Only then did I realize that Tia had been waiting for this moment all along.

Huung – Kwaguawa!

The air around them grew cold, and ice picks rushed in.

An ice pick embedded in the ground instantly turned the ground into a plate of ice.

It was difficult to dodge all the ice picks that flew in succession.

It was a ploy to tie me up because I was fast on my feet.

A few had to be knocked out myself.

At that moment, Tia attacked.

Even on the ice, there was no disturbing motion at all.

Tia’s ankles were shining with blue mana and magic cast by the wind spirit.

“ah!”

I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to take it away easily.

As my wooden sword rushed in, she deflected it with her wind-clad hand.

An expression of resentment passed over Tia for a moment.

The time limit was running out.

My wooden sword went in aiming for the leg.

The water spirit threw her whole body to block the attack.

And Tia grabbed my wrist.

“It’s my victory!”

It seemed like he was aiming for this from the beginning.

Tia attacked with the remaining spirits.

I’m sorry, but I had no intention of losing.

I put down the wooden sword.

Then he grabbed her wrist and tried to knock her over.

“Uh-uhh-!”

She took the fall method in an instant and slammed my hand.

And with a flexible body, it turned around the swallow.

Tia stood up a few steps away and glanced at me.

“Hehe, it was dangerous, but it’s my victory.”

A necklace was in her hand. Tia proudly showed me her necklace.

It seemed to have been snatched while falling.

“ah… ?”

However, I soon found a necklace in my hand.

I shrugged.

“Somehow, it seems like a draw.”

Actually, I took the necklace off first, but… . I didn’t have to reveal my victory here.

“eww… .”

Tia, who drool for a moment, nodded.

“like. It’s a draw.”

“Then what shall we do? As for the bet?”

Again, Tia thought seriously.

It seemed more serious than during the operation meeting.

It was as if it was a waste to give me a business card, but it was even more wasteful to give up the bet.

“It would be better to exchange them as gifts.”

It was what I was hoping for.

“good.”

I held out my hand, but she looked around and smiled once.

“I will contact you separately. It seems to have attracted too much attention.”

It was then that I remembered that she hated unnecessary physical contact. Countless people have asked for a handshake to hold hands.

I’m sorry though

I scratched the back of my head with my outstretched hand.

The ice that froze the ground melted as she turned. People around me were buzzing about the current situation.

“Did you just see it? Would that be fun?”

“At the beginning of the semester, my skill at handling spirits was already… .”

“To draw with Tia Herze like that… .”

Even Arthur and Reus seemed to have stopped fighting and looked this way.

“Hey Reus, shall we try that too?”

“Reject Why would I play something stupid like that?”

Reus coldly refused, but kept an eye on her.

If he suggested doing it a few times, he would pretend he couldn’t win and participate in the necklace battle. However, Arthur smiled once, perhaps embarrassed.

Just in time, the interpersonal class ended.

“Hey, Ethan! What game is that?”

Anya, who came to my side, lit up her eyes.

“Oh, oh, just. Call it the necklace fight.”

“Oh, it looks like a lot of fun, doesn’t it?”

“It’s infinitely fun.”

“I want to look at that necklace.”

I obediently handed the necklace to Anya.

It was a cheap necklace, but Anya seemed to be amazed that it could be worn with a magnet.

“Oh, you wear these on each other and play games.”

“right. All you have to do is steal the opponent’s necklace in 5 minutes. As long as it’s not a way to steal the necklace with telekinesis or something, it’s usually acceptable.”

Afterwards, Arthur and Anya and I decided to go out to dinner together.

I glanced around.

Sepia was hanging out with the daughters of noble families.

hahahaha It seems that the shouting is wearing a lot of masks.

When our eyes met, I turned my head away.

Back at the dormitory, I changed from my cadet uniform to leather armor. I had to head north to the woods by 7 o’clock.

Sylvia didn’t seem to care too much about the rumors, but I didn’t want to get attention from the students.

I was about to go out with a wooden sword and a real sword.

Just then, a crow landed on the window sill.

The guy tilted his head and tapped the window with his beak and I opened the window. The crow handed me the business card I was holding.

The business card had Tia’s name and contact information written on it.

“Ah, thank you.”

“thank you! thank you!”

The crow imitated my words and flew away.

* * *

Tia Erze hid a smile that spread across her lips.

Normally, I hated sweating, but for some reason, I felt refreshed today.

After taking a hot shower, she sat down on the sofa.

Tiredness crept in.

“Hmm, but it was fun.”

I closed my eyes and saw the movement in the game.

If I did it again, I thought I could win this time.

Anyway, I thought I’d grab your wrist first.

As much as he hates physical contact with someone, he never thought he would hold his wrist like that first.

The crow tapped the window with its beak.

As she opened the window, a crow jumped onto her wrist.

“Did you tell me well?”

“Well done! Well done!”

“Whoops, well done.”

Tia stroked the crow once.

After rubbing its head once, the crow went into the cage.

“I gave you a business card, so I’ll be in touch soon.”

Tia looked at the crystal ball from the bed and placed it on the desk. and read the book But for some reason, I didn’t get a call until late at night.

I tried turning on the crystal ball, but there was no contact from Ethan.

“What… , You must be busy.”

Instead, there were greetings from other men.

Most of them were those who knew that Tia was the daughter of a wealthy man and approached them. The type of person who believes that if they win her heart, they will win the Daesanghoe too.

She no longer had the heart to read the letters, and she extinguished the crystal ball.

‘Still, I received a business card, but isn’t it polite to leave a message?’

I wanted to contact you first, but my pride wouldn’t allow it.

I just wonder when the book will be ready. Yes, that’s all.

Tia lifted the crystal ball once, then put it down.

Still, my mind was troubled.

“But something, something… .”

“Something! something!”

The crow in the cage followed Tia’s words.

“be quiet.”

Then the crow closed its beak.

The next day, there was no call from Ethan.

In the classroom, Ethan was laughing and chatting with Arthur and Anya. Another day passed like that.

Unbearable, Tia put on a hood and headed out of the academy.

I passed Istvan Street with a quick stride.

Even so, I looked back several times as if I had done something bad.

That’s how I was able to get to a bookstore far from the academy.

‘have! The warrior’s secret.’

All the books were put in order on the corner bookshelf.

Tia pulled out another book and flipped through it.

From the beginning, I read thick books as if I had no interest in novels.

‘Should I just buy it confidently?’

Since she was wearing a hood and a mask, no one would know that she was Tia.

Tia headed for a corner, pretending to be looking for a book.

‘Yeah, but buying it yourself is a bit like… .’

After thinking about it for a long time, Tia reached out to ‘The Hero’s Secret’. It was then that I touched someone’s hand. Startled, Tia hurriedly withdrew her hand.

However, he had already made eye contact with his opponent.

ah… , of course, the opponent was Edan.
