Episode 171 Chapter

11 The Beginning of the Second Semester

When Helmut returned to Baden, there were only three days left until the start of school.

It took longer than expected to go out to subdue monsters. Also, as we looked at White’s condition, we realized that we could not force a march like before.

‘It’s strange to be back to myself after such a long time.’

Helmut lost his disguise once he left the borders of Bashor. My reflection in the mirror had become unfamiliar.

The first place he went to in Baden was Kudrow Mansion.

Ethan Kudrow breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Helmut tell him about what happened in Bashor.

“Wow, Basor has also done something big. “I’m glad that the truth has now come to light.”

“The truth will never come out. Because….”

Helmut spoke about the second prince’s opinion. I decided to keep my mouth shut, but I couldn’t keep it a secret from Ethan Kudrow. Ethan Kudrow knew Helmut was Hyde. So this is what Helmut said.

“I don’t completely understand it, but since even Darian’s descendants are silent, I guess I can’t say anything.”

Ethan Kudrow also readily agreed to keep his mouth shut. If Luke Yeager wanted that too, there was nothing more he could say.

“Anyway, the temple would do something like that. You are committing reckless acts in the name of Lumen. “They didn’t take kindly to our Baden, which has many wizards and knights.”

Ethan Kudrow also seemed to have an even worse impression of the temple. That was a positive thing for Helmut.

“You accomplished a great thing by winning the martial arts competition. “It’s just a shame that Greta Academy can’t announce that the winner of the Basor martial arts competition has emerged.”

“It hasn’t even been officially announced.”

There was only a small announcement that the prize money would be awarded to Hyde for his contribution in subduing monsters.

In fact, it was as if there was no winner of this year’s Basor martial arts competition. Because the finals were not held.

The martial arts festival is a very important event in Basor, but the people of Basor can no longer pay attention to it.

As Luke Jaeger’s identity is revealed, Basor will soon be in an uproar over the appearance of a descendant of the Sword Saint.

“I’m surprised that there are descendants of Darian. “How was he?”

“He looks like Darian. “He is an excellent prosecutor.”

“Yes, that’s good…”

Ethan Kudrow squeezed his eyes shut with an emotional expression on his face. As if he was recalling in his memory the image of Darian Differt, who saved him a long time ago.

He soon changed the subject.

“I guess I should prepare for the new semester sooner than that. “There isn’t much left.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

All room assignments had been completed. I usually take out my luggage in advance in case I return late.

But Helmut didn’t know he would return so late. According to Ethan, Helmut’s room has changed, but Area is taking care of his luggage.

This is because Area ended up using that room as is.

‘Is he in solitary confinement because he is the head of the magic department?’

He, the top student in the swordsmanship department, would also be assigned to solitary confinement. For some reason, a feeling of emptiness came over me. He immediately confirmed the room assignment.

“My room… is the room next to Area, right?”

Somehow, it happened like that. It would also be easy to move even a small amount of luggage.

Soon, classmates who saw him appear in the dormitory greeted him.

“Hey Helmut. “Have you finally arrived in Baden?”

“Helmut it’s been a while.”

“How was your vacation?”

Among them, there was one who was a bit sharp.

“You look like you’ve gained some weight. Have you been to some hot country?”

“It was a country with strong sunlight.”

Helmut answered half-heartedly and immediately found the key to his room and headed to Area’s room.

Area prefers staying in the dormitory. If I hadn’t headed to the Magic Faculty building, I would have been in the dormitory.

As I was going up the stairs, I felt an inexplicable sense of tension. It felt like I was about to battle a strong enemy.

Isn’t it different? Even Helmut couldn’t explain why he felt this way when he went to Area’s room.

smart. When I knocked on the door, there was a rustling sound from inside.

“Who is it?”

“it’s me.”

The door was so wide open that Helmut wondered what had happened.

The first thing that appeared through the crack in the door were purple eyes. The moment the clear, vivid amethyst-like eyes came into view, I felt like my heart sank.

It hasn’t even been two months since we broke up, but it feels like years have passed.

Area was still beautiful, but her impression had subtly changed. Even though it was covered with magic, Helmut could tell the difference.

Alea’s lips moved.

“Helmut.”

They looked at each other frozen for a moment. For some reason, there was silence along with the piercing electric current. Strange sensation.

‘The heart again…’

I didn’t know that the sprouts of darkness were reacting to Area’s magic. That was Helmut’s new hypothesis. Of the two, it was Helmut who spoke first.

“I came to pick up my luggage.”

“Oh, Jim? okay.”

Area, who was trying to let Helmut in without thinking, soon frowned.

“But is that all you have to say about me?”

Helmut tilted his head.

“long time no see…?”

Is this correct? It seemed like there was something I wanted to say, but the moment I met Area, it all turned white. I don’t remember.

“Okay, what do I want from you?”

The room was similar to before. Helmut’s luggage remained untouched.

Helmut quickly collected his luggage. I pushed it into the box I had left under the desk and it all fit.

Area grumbled as she watched him silently doing his job.

“The pitch black makes me look like an animal.”

It was an incomprehensible point. Helmut was a little tanned, but not too burned.

“But you seem a little tall.”

Alea widened her eyes. Now I see that Helmut’s head is higher than before. The level of my eyes naturally rose.

“Oh, you didn’t get smaller.”

Helmut muttered. For some reason, I thought Area was a bit small. It was a moment when I thought it might be an aftereffect of a magic experiment.

Area was naturally impressed.

“As soon as we met, you told me to hand over my luggage, and now it’s a fight?”

“It’s not a fight.”

Helmut realized one thing. Women are shorter than men. So the area won’t get much bigger than this. On the other hand, he will grow up quickly.

He paused for a moment. All you have to do is carry the box and go out, but strangely, you won’t be left behind.

Area asked first.

“Where is your room?”

“The room right next door.”

“okay? what. Then it will be easier to move the luggage.”

Silence followed for a moment. It’s a shame that it ends like this for both sides, but I don’t have anything else to say.

“What did you do during vacation?”

“Just… catch monsters and practice swordsmanship.”

The only answer to an obvious question is an answer full of hidden things. There was no way they could talk openly with each other. One side or the other is still holding on to secrets.

“Are you wearing that bracelet well?”

“Oh, of course.”

I have nothing more to say. Now it was time to leave the room. It was time to clean the new room.

When the wizard Area was there, the cleanliness of the room was kept perfectly by magic, so there was no need to clean, but it was different now that I was sharing the room alone.

‘Looking at the condition of the room, if it’s serious, I’ll have to use someone.’

Helmut made his decision and left a greeting.

“Then I’ll leave.”

As he was about to leave the room, Area suddenly spoke again.

“I think I’ll get rid of all my wishes this semester.”

“…Do you have something in mind?”

Helmut also did not forget that Area had two wishes. I feel anxious about something. If it were Area, she wouldn’t ask for an unusual price.

‘It would be difficult to ask for something like hunting monsters.’

As much as possible, one should not be influenced by demon energy. The income gained from Basor this time is that even though murder was committed, the sprouts of darkness did not grow, but rather decreased.

I even thought it would be a good idea to periodically receive sacred magic from a priest. I can’t do it because I don’t want the sprouts of darkness to be discovered.

“Well, you’ll find out soon. So what I’m trying to say is,”

Area added firmly.

“That means they can at least provide cleaning as a service.”

Although it was said to be a simple solution through magic, it was a rare favor from Area.

And Area’s rare kindness was mostly shown only towards Helmut.

It was also convenient for Helmut. He nodded and suggested the opposite.

“…Then, would you like to eat together downtown next time? “The place I went to with you before.”

It costs money to use people to clean anyway. It wasn’t a bad idea to eat with Area and pay for it. If you take on more debt, it can be difficult.

Helmut also had deep pockets. He had acquired so much wealth that he did not know where to spend it.

Now, no matter how rich Area is, I won’t be disappointed… I’m not sure about that, though.

Area smiled brightly. It was a smile that brightened the eyes and brightened the vision.

“okay.”

The decision to stay away from Helmut had gone somewhere else.

*

After cleaning up the dormitory, I was about to head to my personal training center for the first time in a while.

“Hey Helmut! Nice to meet you child! “It’s really been a while since we’ve seen each other, right?”

Helmut immediately recognized the owner of this loud voice without even looking.

“draft.”

“Yeah huh? “You got a little carried away.”

Xian, who greeted me, was also a little taller. It seems like everyone is growing up a little bit during vacation. Because it’s a growth period.

Just because he ate well and played well during the vacation, his cheeks were glowing.

“Everyone says that.”

Previously, Helmut had the appearance of a nobleman with pure white skin, black hair, and prominent eyes.

But now that I’ve gained some weight, it’s not that bad. It was different. Should I say that I have become stronger and more like a prosecutor?

It just felt heavier, which gave me a sense of distance.

“Because I rode it. Why did you come to Baden so late? I thought you were dropping out. “Instructor Ethan doesn’t know about you either.”

Since I was with a suspicious guy like Michael, I didn’t contact Ethan for fear of being tracked. Ethan also seemed to be a little upset.

Helmut answered briefly.

“My horse was in pain, so I took it easy.”

White has almost recovered his health. He was a strong guy to begin with.

“okay? I thought you would just throw away the painful words and replace them with new ones. “He was a guy who cared about animals more than I thought.”

Xian, whose eyes widened in surprise, held out his hand.

“Anyway, let’s do well this semester.”

When we lightly joined hands, Xian clenched them with both hands and made a fuss.

“Wow, look at how strong your hands are. If you squeeze it too hard, you’ll break someone’s wrist. As expected, the head of the swordsmanship department! Now they are separated from Area and have a separate room, right? “It must be like heaven to be away after watching you all the time.”

“….”

I don’t know why Helmut naturally thinks he doesn’t want to share a room with Area.

Instead of bothering to refute, Helmut asked.

“Where is Asuka?”

When I saw Xian, I thought of him. Aren’t the two usually close together? It was Asuka, whom I had never seen since I returned to the dormitory.

“That guy came to Baden a long time ago. You were living in a training camp these days? It will be there today too. You too will have to be a little nervous this semester. Oh, and you might be surprised when you see Asuka. “That guy has changed a lot.”

Helmut, feeling a familiar presence behind the chattering Xian, turned around.

Asuka was just returning to the dormitory. The two people’s eyes met.
