Chapter 71 – 24. Count Lucidenfield of the Catacombs (1)
The week after midterms are over.
So the atmosphere at Nova Academy was full of excitement.
In reality, that week was a separate program rather than a lecture or training session.
Seo Soo-ah was moving to an auditorium at the academy. There was a lecture.
The Hunter Guild, which is considered the best in the world along with the Helios Guild, the Holy Spear of the Thunder God.
It was also a guild where Professor Cho Hyeong-jun, head of the Department of Swordsmanship, was an advisor.
As a result, hunters and scouts from the Thunder God’s Holy Spear held a lecture at Nova. I was on my way to participate in the lecture.
Today too, Seo Soo-ah is dressed in an elegant cadet uniform as usual.
She was wearing a short cadet uniform skirt and black stockings. Su-ah seemed very familiar with that skirt, and even her steps in heels were elegant.
Also a plain yellow braid tying her hair together. She looked elegant and elegant with her long black hair.
“Our Sua was truly amazing this time too! “I won first place in practical skills again!”
There were also several female cadets around her.
Female cadets of the Swordsmanship Department. Su-ah always had a lot of people around her.
She is a model student with fair behavior. It’s only natural that she looks so beautiful.
“We are in the same class, but is it possible for our skills to be so different? The evaluation scores were almost three times different! “I really think Sua is on a different level from us!”
“It’s been a month since school started, and she’s several times stronger than when she was a first year… She’s not the greatest genius in Nova Academy history for nothing! After all, she is the pride of the swordsmanship department!”
Her female cadets praised her and put their arms around her.
Su-ah smiled softly and answered them.
“I was just lucky.”
“Be humble. “She really compares to that bad guy in the shooting department.”
“Ugh, don’t even talk to him! “Is our Su-ah the same as Jeong Ha-eun, who gets a lot of extra points for being quick at the Helios Guild?”
“Okay! That bitch… No, Jeong Ha-eun is just sucking honey from her genealogy. “There is no comparison with Su-a, who competes fairly!”
To that, Su-ah answered as usual.
“Not really. Ha-eun is always sincere and beautiful! And she is an excellent hunter… I know it well as I am being trained in the same 13th platoon! Even though I am a classmate, I really have a lot to emulate!”
“As expected, Suya! “How can you speak so beautifully?”
Su-a inadvertently thought of Jeong Ha-eun.
‘Jeong Ha-eun. This midterm exam. She was the top student in the shooting class.’
So, of course, she ranked first in overall cadet rank.
In fact, if it was before, Jeong Ha-eun didn’t care at all.
My classmates at the Department of Swordsmanship. She has thought of Jeong Ha-eun as Su-ah’s rival since first grade, and she is as passionate as ever.
In reality, Sua’s interest was only directed at Eric.
But things have changed now.
‘If it’s Jeong Ha-eun. Unlike me, you would have ranked first even on the theory test.’
In fact, Su-a was weak in the theory test.
The cadets around him praised even that as being humane.
Even the theory, which I wasn’t that interested in compared to the practical experience, now paid attention to me.
‘Oppa Eric. ‘She said her ideal type was a woman who was stronger than her.’
And she is a sincere woman.
He said this not long ago when we were spending that happy time in her room.
‘I can’t lose to Jeong Ha-eun.’
Although it would be impossible to catch up with Eric in a short period of time with his skills.
Jeong Ha-eun is the daughter of Helios Guild.
Not only does he have a great family background, but he is also talented. If we receive tremendous support, there is a high possibility that we will progress much further than we are now.
Above all, Jeong Ha-eun is a tremendous hard worker. Seo Soo-ah knew.
‘I can’t lose. ‘I have to become stronger.’
In many ways, the person who fits Eric’s ideal type is.
She was more Jeong Ha-eun than she is now.
‘And Iris too.’
Iris became a huge topic during this mid-term exam.
A theory test at the infamous Faculty of Magic.
At least one night. The test, which could take several days at worst, was completed in five hours and left the exam room.
So I thought most graduate student teaching assistants gave up on the exam.
That wasn’t it.
Iris’ answer was perfect.
I heard that she was able to complete her magic calculations in such a short period of time that she was beyond the level of her cadets. She is the head of the magic department, and she even said that the lord of the magic tower was astonished.
He is strong not only in theory but also in practice as a magician. Seo Soo-ah, who entered the dungeon together, knew.
‘And by the way, both of them are sluts who flirt with Eric.’
Every time the two looked at Eric with women’s eyes, a terrible murderous intent boiled over. She wanted to create an air hole in the two people’s stomach with her katana.
But she had to endure it.
Then you’ll be headed to prison instead of Nova Academy. I will never see Eric again.
And more than anything, she believes that Instructor Eric’s ideal type is a sincere and strong woman.
The two people who will be compared should not be touched.
‘There are actually good things about me because I have two people.’
If you show enough strength and sincerity to surpass those two. Eric will definitely become aware of himself as a woman.
‘And I’m going to work harder at night too. ‘I will make my brother addicted to my body… As a woman, I will never lose.’
I inadvertently remembered the intense night I spent in Eric’s room.
The feeling of Eric’s heavy object filling his insides. It still remained inside her.
At that thought, my cheeks instantly turned red.
“Huh? Suya, why are you looking like that? Did I walk too fast? Shall we go slowly?”
“Even though it’s spring, isn’t it a bit hot today?”
Su-ah smiled brightly and said as if nothing had happened.
“No! It seems the sunlight was a little strong. “My eyes were dazzling… I felt anemic for a moment…”
“Wow, it’s a big deal! “Then let’s move to the shade!”
Su-ah’s classmates, who had no way of knowing her true feelings, took her to the shadows.
Soon the group arrived at the lecture hall.
***
Although Nova is a university facility, its scenery is quite unique as it is a military academy.
Whether cadets, instructors, or professors.
Here on campus, it was natural for everyone to carry weapons.
Of course, even after becoming an instructor, I didn’t carry a weapon for a while.
Unlike before, the sword sheath was now attached to his belt, which was empty.
==========================
[Evaluate the item.]
「Ego Sword, blood child that grew up by drinking the blood of its owner」 – Legend
: This is a sword grown from the blood of countless monarchs and kings.
The owner of that sword left his name in the history books of Arnster, but at the same time, his miserable end is also remembered for future generations.
[Effect]
: You can use the unique spell engraved on the blood, Jinhyeol Acceleration.
: Blood’s will has awakened. The effect of Jinhyeol Acceleration is tripled by resonance with the dedicated weapon.
..

==========================
My exclusive weapon, Hyeol-a.
It is a famous sword that can only be held by those who ascend to the position of monarch.
Like the description of the system.
When I first held Hyeol-a, I felt as if the vengeful spirits of countless monarchs who had disappeared from history were trying to suffocate me.
Of course, those vengeful spirits were already subdued during the time of the Mercenary King.
Anyway, Hyeol-a, who had been silent the whole time, finally began to open her mouth little by little.
[Road. Are there really this many women here?]
I was hiding behind a tree near the auditorium.
Of course, it was Hyeol-ah who spoke to me.
He spoke to me with his will so that no one else could hear.
I lowered my voice and answered.
“Unlike Arnster, the awakened people of Earth have a male to female ratio of about 4 to 6. So there are more women.”
[I see. Loading would be nice.]
After saying that, Hyeol-a fell silent.
Her slit put her hand on her scabbard and looked at her.
We share each other’s will.
I was able to picture in my head the humanoid appearance of the ego sword, Hyeol-a.
A female knight wearing light armor.
Long, knee-length blonde hair with a slight red tint.
And the horns growing on both sides of the hair were impressive.
Although she looks beautiful, her face is expressionless. But now I couldn’t see that expression.
‘Your personality is still the same.’
It was a magic sword with a reputation for evil in Arnster.
In fact, Hyeol-a was very introverted. Although timid and shy. At the same time, there was a severe lack of affection.
The so-called bastards.
Jeong Ha-eun was also from a similar family.
Jeong Ha-eun is a pitiful person. Hyeol-a was a little on the gloomy side.
[Rod… He’s so popular with women… He’ll soon abandon me again. Just like it was at that mansion.]
She squatted down on her floor.
The sight of her curled up, drawing circles on the floor with her fingertips.
She looked so insignificant that it was impossible to imagine that she was the infamous magic sword.
“I said I wouldn’t throw it away. “At that time, I had no choice due to circumstances.”
While working as Iris’s butler.
I have completely abandoned myself as the mercenary king. Of course, I didn’t even bring out the blood.
Although it must have been a very short moment compared to the long years that Hyeol-a lived through. I think it was quite a shock to Hyeol-a.
“So I called you again like this. “It was all… Something that could not be helped in order to prevent the end of the world.”
That’s how I calmed down my blood.
Then, Hyeol-a, whose ears perked up, slowly stood up again.
[If that’s the case… I’ll believe it.]
After saying that, she lowered her head and grabbed the sleeve of my dress with her fingertips.
As befits her longsword, her height was moderate, about the average height of an adult woman.
And even though she is proudly dressed as a female knight like now. She just seemed like a timid village girl.
I said, stroking her head.
“Because here in Korea, there is a great food called sundae. I’ll buy you that later. “It’s food made with blood.”
[Really…? Then it’s good… Rod is kind… I like that.]
And he seemed to be in a good mood right away, just like a puppy.
Anyway, I was glad that Hyeol-Ah came back at such a critical time.
As written in the system, Jinhyeol Acceleration is a special effect of Hyeol-a.
In order to catch Lucidenfield, who is currently targeting Su-Ah. I also had to do my best.
‘Because of the experience I’ve absorbed as a member of the clan… Fortunately, I have regained the body I had when I was a mercenary king.’
And my practical sense was dulled because I was working as a general store manager.
What happened at the opening general meeting. And I improved my physical condition to some extent during the dungeon raid with Helios’ elite 3 team.
So if I just focus. Even the infamous Lucidenfiltra can be easily captured.
‘The problem is how to find that guy who is hiding.’
But I already knew how.
So now, I was waiting outside the auditorium where Su-ah was.
Sure enough, right after the lecture ended.
There was a man approaching Su-ah. I followed them secretly.
