Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 283

Maybe it’s because I’ve been a little busy talking with Siegfried and going back home and telling Asilier to be careful because the devil worshipers may be making a fuss around. The day went by in an instant, and the time to start the cockroach eradication operation was approaching.

Even so, I didn’t move from early morning. Unlike me and Siegfried, the students had to take classes. It was a decision I made because no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t save face later by skipping class, and I also had work to finish during the remaining time.

And now that the appointment time is approaching, Seneran asked me as he wiped his glasses after the close-knit private lesson.

“I’ve been helping you by asking you to focus, but… how are you going to use this? You haven’t even learned magic yet.”

The theory that I have been learning intensively for the past few days has yielded very satisfactory results after several rounds of verification and experimentation. From the day I heard from Eselua that it might have something to do with demons, I asked Master and Seneran for help and learned it in a bit of a hurry. There was no

Rather, it was much easier, perhaps because of the sparring with Siegfried last time. Thinking that I might be the type to learn by rolling with my body, I lifted the sword I had next to me and tried to connect it with magic.

“It’s very suitable for dealing with demons.”

Since I had nothing to hide now, I replied calmly, and Master, who had been looking at the contents I had studied and organized, tilted her head and asked:

“Magic diffusion? At best, this would be color application?”

“Hmm, I’d rather see this for myself… that would be nice. That’s an apology.”

I thought it would be faster to see it with my own eyes, so I pointed at the apple I bought for a snack while holding my sword, and Seneran and Master’s eyes naturally turned there. In the meantime, Seneran’s eyes began to glow, not knowing what I was about to do. He is really passionate about anything related to magical powers.

“This is the method I used to cut the neck of a demon tribe I met while flying through a gate in the empire… Connecting magic to the scabbard and sword separately, and using that connected magic as a bridgehead to intervene in the body and head of the target using magic, it’s interesting. The results came out.”

The sword came out without much resistance just by gently pushing up the cross guard with your thumb. And almost at the same time, an apple pops out! and split in half.

“This is an apology, so it was easy without much resistance, but the demons are a little more…”

“Wait. Wait a minute.”

I tried to continue the explanation naturally, but Seneran stopped me with an urgent voice and looked at the apple and the sword alternately with a serious expression. Then, suddenly, he walked over to the table and eagerly touched the other apples, reacting like a spectator trying to figure out a magic trick, and then slowly turned to me.

“Really?”

“There’s no reason to lie about something like this out of the blue.”

Is something strange? Just in case, when I looked at Master, I was more surprised than Seneran.

“This is… what the hell…”

…seems strange. Seneran shouted before I had time to adjust to their reaction.

“In this crazy world! It’s not magic, but it’s not magic, but it’s physical power?!”

“Uh… I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but it seems a little different, because this isn’t the concept of tearing apart with an invisible hand, it’s a series of magical powers, isn’t it?”

There seemed to be a misunderstanding, so I brought up the story to correct it, but it was rather counterproductive. Seneran, who heard my words, looked at Master with a puzzled expression.

“To interfere with outside magic… with your own magic without a spell…?”

Whatever it was, it was never something to be taken lightly.

◈

In the end, it was only after there was a great commotion that I left the professor’s office and arrived at the appointed place about 5 minutes late from the scheduled time. Appropriately waving at the friendly faces of about 10 people gathered in a corner of the well-kept garden, Cheryl said with a puzzled expression.

“You’re late.”

“Something happened.”

The desire to say that it was too late to catch up with those who sold their souls in the research welled up, but I decided to leave it as my fault for the honor of the two. Still, there’s something you get for free, but I’m going to pass on this much.

I don’t know if it’s because she took the initiative to argue, but the others didn’t really question me. Maybe it was because I was nervous without realizing it, so I didn’t even know if I had time to do that, but I roused the atmosphere by saying what I had set in advance.

“I’m sorry I’m late. I’ve already heard about the situation from Cheryl. I think it’s right to leave this to the military or paladins… but since the students of the academy are involved in the case, it’s unavoidable for everyone’s honor.”

Unlike the Imperial Academy, the vast majority of the Kingdom Academy are aristocrats or wealthy people equivalent to them. Honor was a very important factor to them, and Cheryl worked hard to set the stage so that it wouldn’t be strange if Siegfried and I moved the students based on this.

“Still, it’s impossible to send you alone to an underground waterway where you don’t know what lurks behind the devil worshipers hiding, so I decided to accompany you with the help of a warrior I’m personally acquainted with. It’s a decision made because I can deal with the devil, so it’s unpleasant. I hope you don’t think so.”

After hearing my words, the five people gathered in exactly the order of practical subjects nodded their heads with an ‘ah’ expression as if they understood why the warrior party was here. It was only then that Siegfried, who had been acting out awkwardness while drawing a strange line with them, raised his hand moderately and greeted them.

“As expected, you acted well, probably because you were a fool in the empire.”

“So, how many people did I cheat on there?

Siegfried, who was calmly trembling but still had a sullen expression on his face, took out his greatsword and put it over his shoulder to cover his face.

“But will it be okay? I might meet some demon.”

“If we divide and move according to plan, even if we can’t, we can afford to run away and make contact.

In the first place, for that purpose, a team was formed by dividing the warrior party and six students in half. To be honest, I wanted to make another team with Siegfried only with the saints, but I decided to put up with it because I was worried that some of the hot-blooded students might not understand the subject and charge into a distant place. Anyway, since the warrior party has a reputation, I won’t try to ignore them and charge.

However, it seems that that was not what the hero was worried about.

“No, not that. My younger brother. I wonder if he’ll be okay alone.”

It was more awkward not to be away from my side for almost an hour, but I had sent it home this time to contact Asilie. So, just like Siegfried said, after a long time I move alone.

“It’s okay. If you move halfway together, the speed will slow down and the students may be at risk.”

However, I only thought that I would be a little lonely, but I wasn’t worried. It’s just that I’ve been hanging out with a lot of people lately, but I’ve been training more alone.

Because there was no plan to share the journey to the demon lord with anyone. It’s just that it’s not easy to take a break, but there’s no hindrance. On the contrary, if you go with someone, there is a possibility that you will be found out that you are using magic, so it becomes more troublesome.

“So don’t worry about me and take care of the students.”

“…Yes, don’t worry.”

Siegfried had no way of knowing what was going on, but he silently accepted whether he believed in my abilities. In the meantime, Cheryl, who had finished talking with the students, gestured to me and I joined them with the warrior party.

I still knew the names of Griffith and Kalitz, who was third in practical skill, but I couldn’t remember the names of the rest. I know it was just 4 5 6 in order, but even if I calmly rolled my head, I still didn’t know what I didn’t know.

“Sheryl, Griffith, and Kalitz accompany Princess Esselua and Entire. 4th, 5th, 6th. You guys follow the hero and the holy woman of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly. I will enter first.”

So I just pushed ahead with a shameless attitude like I showed in class. ‘What you said at that time must have been true’ to my confident attitude. Unlike the students who showed a moderate reaction, Siegfried, who reacted as if he saw the world as a terrible piece of trash with his eyes wide open in amazement, opened his mouth.

“Brother? Happiness is not in the order of grades!”

“What else are you talking about?”

“You should remember their names at least!”

“I’m just keeping my word.”

Perhaps it was because they were accustomed to mimicking the kind knights in fairy tales, the warrior party felt a sense of discord and tilted their heads, but since it was something that could not be explained here, I pretended not to know and glanced at Cheryl. After checking the armament of the students for the last time, they started checking the location to investigate and the joining point with the warrior party.

I didn’t need to know anything more as I was traveling alone, so I left them behind and entered the manhole-like entrance to the waterway.
