29 - I'm fighting for it
The father and son appear!
The second one came out of nowhere and attacked!
However, Hurt was able to hold off Ototo.
From ,
A girl shows up!
The girl is smiling gently.
That's the summary of what just happened. Before that, I was caught by a little girl with glasses.
It's getting chaotic.
Raius, who had just been knocked down by me, smiles wryly.
"I heard that. I heard you beat the sergeant of the Hafen family. That's the man who beat me.
"His recent behavior has been unacceptable. I hope he will reflect on his behavior and mature.
"Oh, Hurt, have you ever defeated a prince? The prince is by far the most talented new student this year.
"That was when I was a child."
In fact, I haven't changed much in strength since then. I'm just a little better at ward magic.
There's a buzz around me.
They seem to have reacted to Lias' words. It's quite a shock that I beat the prince in an actual match instead of just a brief exchange of greetings.
I must not let this subject get out of hand. So I'm going to change the subject.
"What do you want from me?"
"Hey, come on, we're both new students here, so don't be so polite."
No, I asked the princess.
What the hell?
"Lias, don't shout. Yes, I was looking for you. Mr. Hurt, have you decided where you're going to work?
No, not yet.
"Okay! Then you're in the same place I am. It's a tough but intense training room."
"No, you'll be in the same lab as me. It's a very good place to do cutting-edge magical research."
"Wait a minute. I'm the one who spotted him first. Even if he's royalty, this is non-negotiable. I mean, I can't have him wielding power on campus.
Lias swooped in. He's too big to get in the way.
"Hey, Hurt, who's this little guy?"
"Hmm, it's rude to call him a little one. I am Tierrietta Leseyernel. I'm a professor at this school. I specialize in ancient magic.
"Oh, oh, ...... excuse me. But it doesn't matter if it's your first time or not. I'm not afraid of you just because you're a teacher.
I'm surprised. The once pompous Raius is now at least awe-struck. He's grown up. I'm not happy or sad for you. I'm not interested.
I just remembered something.
Lias hears me.
"Professor Ruseyaner has a lot of problems. He's doing old-fashioned research that doesn't produce good results, and he's been clashing with the other teachers. I won't say anything bad about him. Just don't go there."
"I hear you, Your Royal Highness. It's not that we haven't made any progress, it's just that you fools don't understand."
"Hey, this is how it feels."
What the hell? You're gonna do it, you son of a b*tc*!"
My big sister calms down an angry little teacher.
"However, I'm sorry Professor Ruseyaner, but I can't give in here either."
"Tia is fine, Princess. But no. She's mine.
"No, you're coming with me."
I don't know what it is, but they've started fighting over me.
And you know what?
"She hasn't decided where she belongs yet.
"Shall we go, too?"
But I don't want to get between a princess and a prince.
"There's a little guy, too.
This is going to get out of hand.
We'd better get out of here, now.
By the way..."""
What is it with you three all of a sudden?
"We've been circling around you for a while now."
The strange woman with the white hair who's going around in circles...
"Do you know Mr. Hurt?"
Oh, I've wondered about that myself. A white-haired pony dressed as a man.
"Hmm, that rings a bell. She's a commoner who got top marks on the written exam. Her practicals were a little above average overall, but she knows a lot about ancient magic, so I was checking her out. I was so busy with Mr. Hurt that I almost forgot. Let's see, what's his name ......?"
You forgot your name right away. I mean, if you were checking, you should have recruited him instead of me.
"Actually, I made a promise to him."
Well, let me take advantage of her.
"And I'll decide where I belong. Please don't ask me out again.
With a firm word, I dashed out. I grabbed the gray-haired pony by the arm.
"I turned down the prince and princess's offer!"
"I don't think I could have said it so clearly."
I can't do that.
"Wow, that's great."
Don't be surprised if I'm surprised. To me, they're my relatives' kids, same age. Actually, they're my siblings.
Wait a minute, Mr. Hurt. What are you doing?
You've got to give it up.
Nice one, Rias. Keep the little bespectacled teacher in a vice-like stranglehold.
"Ugh, I'm not giving up!"
I pulled my white-haired pony along with me, listening to her words.
We reach the back of the school woods. This school is so big.
"Thank you for your help," I say. But I don't need you anymore. You can go wherever you want."
"I don't understand the situation at all, but I'd like to talk to you about it."
She's a woman of her word, isn't she?
"I'm just a little confused right now. The degree of my confusion is greatest when it comes to you.
Hmm? Me?"
The next moment I thought, "That's another strange thing to say,
"Oh. Is this the same you that I saw yesterday (・・・・・・・・・・)?"
Something flipped a switch inside me.
I construct a hemispherical ward with a radius of ten meters. The optical camouflage makes us invisible to the outside, and no sound leaks out. It's a cage that neither escape nor invasion is allowed.
The woman's face tightens. She moves her eyes left and right, up and down.
"Warding, is it? It's a beautiful thing."
"...... you see that?"
My alert level goes up even more. Only the Princess Flash has ever been able to see my wards with her own eyes. Not that I've checked with her.
Anyway, this guy...
"No. I can't see such perfect warding. It's not exactly like I can feel it, but I can sense it. If I had not concentrated to the utmost, I would have missed it.
Still, you recognize them better than the demons Frey and Riza.
You have good instincts? Is that why you were able to tell me from the copy? I don't know. I don't know, so I'll ask.
"Am I any different than I was yesterday?"
"What? Oh, you mean what you just said. I apologize if my words offended you. It's just that yesterday I didn't feel any magic from you at all, but today you have such a
"I thought you were talking about appearance."
"I don't look the same. That's why I was wondering."
Hmm. It's true that a copy has no magic power. That's why they can't do magic. But the only ones who can say <
Are you a demon?
"As much as I'd like to find out the source of that idea, I'm not going to. I'm human. I have to be."
I don't quite understand how he says that, this guy.
"Well, whatever. You want something from me, don't you? What?"
Turn something off for now. The warding stays on. We can't let the little Dr. Glasses catch us.
Woman. It's too late to ask.) looked straight at me and said
"I want to apologize, thank you, and ask you for a favor."
That's a lot.
"I'll start with an apology. I'm sorry I got you into trouble yesterday. I apologized for that, but that senior student attacked you after that. He even challenged you to a duel. That's what happens when I don't act properly. I'm so sorry."
The woman bows deeply. She takes plenty of time to lift her face,
"Then, just before he released his magic, he pulled me aside to protect me from the attack. I'm sorry I can't guess what his intentions were, but as it turns out, you saved me. Thank you."
I didn't mean it that way at all. I just pushed the copy out of the way.
"And about your last request: ......."
The woman arches her eyebrows in a troubled manner. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her voice.
