Chapter 65 – 63. President
A piece of paper with information about me written on it.
My hand holding it was shaking like crazy.
Why are you shaking?
Because there was information written on the paper about my parents, something I thought I wouldn’t know until I die.
Unfortunately, detailed information was not provided, and it only briefly stated that I was the child of a warrior and a saint, Elin, and their whereabouts.
Years passed, but not a single clue about Elin and the warrior could be found.
Papers like diaries without much information written on them were cluttering the desk.
Elin… Arthur is already seven years old.
Arthur turns ten today. As a birthday present, I’m going to buy her books she wants to read.
Where are you? Are you alive?
Sometimes I miss the times we traveled together… Would things have been a little different if I hadn’t left you behind?
I’ve been feeling a lot worse lately, Elin. Probably not for long.
That’s why I brought in a child who will protect Arthur on my behalf, so don’t worry too much.
As I was reading the paper, tears flowed from my eyes.
Hyliaga.
No, she couldn’t even imagine how difficult it must have been for Hilda.
Identity map.
Even the name.
The past too.
Hilda had to let go of everything that defined her and slowly await her approaching death.
In the end, you probably resented me.
Even if she pretends not to know and leaves me in the village to spend the rest of her life on her own, no one will say anything.
The fact that Hilda had to give up so much for my humble self-made my heart tighten even more with guilt.
What you see now is the last piece of paper.
Why?
Strangely, unlike other papers, Hilda’s hope was visible in the writing.
I received information that the warrior’s holy sword is located at the goddess bridge in the capital.
Why has information about you, which I have never been able to find for a long time, only now appear? Warrior.
If you think rationally, you should think of it as a trap to catch me, but strangely enough, I don’t think it seems like a trap.
Maybe Elin, who hid in the church for a while, deliberately released information to find me, Arthur, and you, the warrior?
Even in the worst case, there is a high possibility that the hero left something behind the holy sword, so it would be right to go there first.
Then I guess I need to get ready now.
If you want to go to the capital with Arthur, there are a lot of things you need to prepare so as not to be caught at the checkpoint.
This was the last record of Hilda.
After that, Hilda died… So of course there was no need to go to the goddess church in the capital.
I gathered all the papers I had read and organized them, then left the room and settled into the bed next to me.
“Is it a dream?”
I still couldn’t believe the truth.
An incompetent person like me is the child of a warrior and a saint who eliminated the Demon King and saved the continent.
I didn’t think that Hilda’s record might be false.
There was a lot of important information written that ordinary people would not know.
“Why did I find out about these things now?”
Even though I knew the truth, I wasn’t very happy.
I was just thinking about what I wanted to do, wasting my time, and then dying.
My parents should have been trash for abandoning me.
I didn’t want to believe anything anymore.
I didn’t want to have any regrets.
“Did you love me?”
A question I thought I would never get an answer to in my lifetime.
Can you hear it?
No.
Let’s not have expectations.
Looking at Hilda’s records, it seemed highly likely that her parents were dead.
Yes.
What I’m trying to do is just confirm.
Through the Holy Sword, we will find out for sure that our parents are dead.
If he’s still alive…
Arthur’s heart began to beat strongly.
Using her vain hopes as fuel.
Ah. It’s sad.
She is a weak child who gets her hopes up easily.
Ah. It’s fun.
I am a weak child who will face endless despair.
Ah.
It’s beautiful.
Your soul will scream forever.
…
The day Arthur left her academy.
Aris was searching Arthur’s room.
“Arthur? Where has she gone? “If she wanted to rest for a while, she would at least leave a letter.”
This is negative.
“No. No. No. Arthur couldn’t have left.!”
Or turning away.
“Uh.? Is this a letter? “I knew it would be like this!”
Finally, an illusion.
As Arthur was away for a moment, Aris, who was running her happiness circuit, opened the small box and letter in the corner of her desk drawer.
Hello, Aris.
The fact that you are reading this letter means that you also received the gift I gave you, right?
I hope you like it.
Because there is only one pair of precious rings in the world made with your and my mana.
I always received something from you, so this time I wanted to give you a gift.
I guess this was to give you a surprise gift.!
I like it so much.
Afterward, there was a lot of content that was embarrassing to her, but Aris continued reading with her face blushing.
Never take the ring I put on your finger!
Because I won’t leave it out either. Got it?
Arthur loves Aris so much.
P. S What kind of expression did you make when I put the ring on your finger?
We’ll be able to check it tomorrow!
After checking all of her contents, Aris opened her box and took out her ring.
I saw a pair of rose gold colored rings.
“Arthur.? Now you have to come out and put a ring on me.”
Aris stood there holding her ring for a while, but, of course, Arthur did not appear.
“Are you okay. “It’s embarrassing, so I’ll understand.”
The contents of the letter – the ring I gave you – came to mind, and bad thoughts kept coming to mind.
Aris put the ring on her ring finger and left the room.
“You want me to put the rest of the rings on you, right?”
Aris headed to the office of the Knight Faculty, looking somewhat edgy.
“It’s like playing tag, Arthur.”
Aris didn’t think her Arthur had gotten away with her own actions.
It’s true that she doesn’t want to believe it.
Anyway, Aris instinctively noticed that Arthur had left her academy and decided to drop out for now, thinking that she had to find Arthur quickly.
Life is short.
Because the Academy without Arthur, and life without Arthur, were worthless.
Honor? Strength? Power?
What’s the use if the person I love isn’t by my side?
Aris burst through the door of her office and told her that she wanted to drop out, and of course the academy refused.
“Doesn’t care. “Because there’s no one to stop me anyway.”
Senior students can’t drop out or take a leave of absence?
Where is that? They say I want to do it.
Or bring Arthur with you.
As Aris spoke threateningly, with madness starting to appear in her eyes, the person watching her administrative work stuttered and came up with another alternative.
“Well, there is another way. “I can apply for a personal interview with the president and if it passes, I can drop out.!”
It was good news.
Because you can avoid becoming a criminal by escaping by force.
“Then can we have an interview right now?”
I said this because I didn’t want to waste any time, but the other person had a frown on his face.
“Yes? The president is not a leisurely person. I will probably have to wait for about a month.”
“A month.?”
Are you telling me to wait a month?
I’d go crazy if I didn’t see Arthur for just one day, so why not see him for a month?
“No. “If you don’t interview me right now, I’ll just leave.”
“No… That’s what you want… Huh? Second, the president told me to come for a meeting right away.”
After hearing her words, Aris didn’t hesitate and walked straight to her chancellor’s office.
Well, he’s a senior, so he should have this much merit.
…
“I will go in.”
After knocking on her door three times, Aris carefully opened the door and entered.
The spacious and ornate interior caught her eye, and she walked over to the chair opposite the desk where the rector was sitting.
Sigh. Zech.
As she watched the president continue to do her chores without even paying attention to her even though she was sitting in front of her, Aris’s personal loyalty began to wear thin.
Tak.
“Your name is. Aris?”
“Yes.”
“It says she wants to drop out. What is the reason?”
In response to the president’s question, Aris almost answered, “You don’t have Arthur,” But she managed to hold on to her senses and give an appropriate reason.
“I don’t think there is anything more to learn at the academy. It felt like a waste of time.”
Perhaps for some too arrogant reason, the rector for the first time took her eyes off her papers and looked at Aris.
A strangely tense situation.
She tightened her fists without realizing it, and cold sweat broke out on her head.
Could it be that. I was scared.?
I didn’t understand.
Because the opponents she was least afraid of were wizards.
Poor physical ability.
The magic activation speed is slow enough to make you yawn.
Obvious and honest fighting style.
Although he knew that the president was the master of the former Demon Tower, he did not think in his heart that he would lose if he fought.
But when I actually saw it…
“They say there’s nothing to learn. If that’s the reason, I can’t listen to you.”
Strong.
It’s completely different from the wizards I’ve seen so far.
Grinning.
“Or if you fight with me and touch my body even a little, there’s no reason why you can’t listen.”
Aris had goosebumps all over her body, but the moment her general’s mana moved, she immediately drew her magic power into her body.
“Ugh…”
Her whole body didn’t move at all, as if it were bound by something.
“If you are strong enough that there is nothing more to learn at the academy, just make a move. “Little one.”
Wow.
My pride was hurt.
The fact that I can’t go find Arthur because I’m stranded by a wizard.
“Show me everything. If that is really the end, I have no intention of letting go.”
I want to smash the face of the woman sitting over there, the president, right now.
In order to escape the tightly woven net of magic, Aris came up with a way.
Immediately create a small hole and then rip apart the entire surrounding area with one powerful blow.
Jijijik…!
“Hoo.?”
The magical power of the thunderbolt that moved according to Aris’s thoughts gathered at one point and created a very small hole in the net.
After seeing that her body was moving slightly due to the momentarily loosened net, she immediately developed her technique.
Thunder Dragon Nine Style – Type 1 Seonjeon
A quick technique that always gives you the upper hand in a fight.
Aris, who thought there was no way a mage who was not a knight could react, moved her body to aim for her chief’s heart.
