The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide - Chapter 98

Student Council President Election (11)

Ziggs Eiffelstein always followed his intuition.

This is because what saved his life in a wild world where death was not strange was not a realistic and rational judgment, but a wild and instinctive intuition.

This is the exact opposite of Lortel, who has always lived in an organized system and only makes rational decisions. That’s why he comes into conflict with her one by one.

He lived through many experiences that the flowers in the greenhouse could not even imagine.

Hiding and running away from wild beasts in the grassland was almost a daily occurrence. It was not unusual to feel threatened for my life every day.

That’s why Ziggs isn’t scared of most things. I rarely feel embarrassed or scared.

But now I couldn’t help but swallow dry saliva.

It’s been a long time since I felt a sense of crisis. A feeling of fear crept up Ziggs’ spine and made him short of breath.

“Ugh… I’m going to catch a cold if I keep doing this.”

The image of Yenika running through the rain after a month.

And the creepy silence of Lortel standing blocking the exit.

Siggs Eiffelstein was a person who had a fairly accurate understanding of Ed Rothtaylor’s personal relationships during his lifetime. Therefore, the speed of accepting the situation is also fast.

Lortel was already well aware that he was half out of his mind due to the news of Ed’s death.

There was still an uneasy feeling of not knowing her insidious intentions, but in any case, in a one-on-one battle, Ziggs would never be pushed by Lortel.

However, Yenica Palover’s intrusion here… was a variable that made even Ziggs feel cold.

In any case, Ed Ross Taylor is a person with a strangely gifted sense of luck, as if he had saved a country in a previous life.

The fact that there are so many women following him around because they like him is something that cannot be said about his ability. Originally, even in the wild world, it was not surprising for a prominent male to have multiple females. What that means in the civilized world is a very complex question.

In any case, it is not a very good variable in the current situation.

Above all, Yenica Palover… was the person who was the most devoted to Ed among his acquaintances.

Even Lortel was engulfed in such cold anger, so there was no way the even more emotional Yenica Palover would be unaffected.

At least in Ziggs’ common sense, it was clear that Yenika was not someone who could stay quiet after hearing the news of Ed’s death.

That’s why…

“I’ve been looking for you, Tanya.”

At those words from Yenika… I couldn’t help but swallow my dry saliva.

Ziggs looked back at Tanya from the corner of his eye without loosening his grip on the sword handle.

Tanya was already cornered against the wall, shaking.

Lortel’s cold anger had a sad feeling that gave people goosebumps.

At least I have the feeling that Yenika looks a little better than I thought.

Nevertheless, Tanya seemed to have some bad memories of Yenika… She was trembling with fear and had tears in her eyes.

Ziggs also imagined how scared he would be if he were in Tanya’s situation. It will feel like riding a rope over a cliff.

It seemed like a somewhat reckless decision to come this far and take Tanya’s side, but Ziggs decided to trust his intuition nonetheless. Ziggs has been watching Ed and Tanya. This is because a certain confidence continued to arise that Tanya had no direct intention to kill.

Dealing with Yenica and Lortel at the same time would be impossible, even for Ziggs.

Ziggs is a duel master. There are not many people within the school who can match his skills, experience, and innate fighting sense.

However, he is not without weaknesses. In the end, his predictive ability, quick wit, and sense of action that are close to foresight… cannot have much meaning in the face of such overwhelming firepower that it is difficult to deal with.

If the opponent is a human who uses swordsmanship and magic and is the ‘object of a duel’, Ziggs will not be defeated in most cases, but he has a very poor match against Yenika, who competes with quantity and firepower by presenting numerous spirit legions.

“I have something to say about Ed—”

So, the moment Yenika started talking, she did the last thing she wanted to avoid.

– Quang!

Ziggs’ magic, as fast as light, destroyed one side of the hallway wall. Ziggs did not want to cause damage to property as much as possible, but there was nothing he could do if the situation went in such an unmanageable direction.

“Whoa?!”

“Pfft!”

Yenica and Lortel stumbled because of the sudden storm and dust.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Ziggs wrapped his arms around Tanya’s waist and threw himself through the collapsed outer wall.

The rain had almost stopped.

A strong wind blew through the remaining raindrops, hitting my entire body.

The sound of the fluttering collar and the feeling of floating around the body instilled another sense of fear in Tanya.

– Boom!

Even though I was wrapped around my body with wind magic, the shock of landing was not completely alleviated.

Ziggs, who had barely managed to steady himself after landing near the back door, put down Tanya. If you take the path behind the Ofilis Building and escape to the western living area like this, you will somehow be able to find a place to hide.

Ziggs straightened his posture and looked up at the Ofilis Hall.

I had no choice but to take a deep breath.

A huge fire lizard is hugging the outer wall, and all kinds of physical spirits are floating in the air around it. One wolf the size of a house sticking its face in the window was a bonus, and the number of low-ranking spirits seemed to be close to three digits.

Seeing that many spirits in action at once is an amazing sight, no matter how many times you see it. The spirits all seemed to be wandering around looking for someone.

Needless to say, it’s Tanya Rosstaylor.

That fact… Tanya herself seems to have fully realized it. The speed at which my teeth chattered was accelerating even further.

“Get your mind together, Tanya Rosstaylor.”

Ziggs wiped the rainwater from his face a few times, then unfolded the robe he was wearing and covered Tanya with it.

“Run along the path behind here, and when you come to a fork, turn west. If you keep running like crazy, you will come across the living quarters.

Once you enter the living quarters, be sure to hide among the city streets. The more complicated the place, the harder it is to find. First, give chase. If you feel like you’ve been left out, find a place where you can seek help. Since you are the heir to the Ross Taylor family, it would be ideal to find someone with imperial power or a friendly noble family.

”

Heir to the Ross Taylor family. If you leave debt to such a person, there is a high possibility that he will be able to take up a political cause or social position. Tanya’s life itself is a good bargain.

“Well… then what about Senior Ziggs…?”

“I will do everything in my power to prevent them from pursuing you. It may be impossible to overpower Senior Yenica or Lortel, but I can block them to a certain extent and then run away on my own when the time comes.”

“Uh… why so much…?”

“I wouldn’t have gone this far if you weren’t Ed’s younger brother. I think I was lucky.”

Ziggs took out a magic engineering supply from his pocket. It was a stone slab with four red beads embedded in it.

‘Helgo’s Wing Shoes’ were items that temporarily made the body more agile.

Ziggs used a leather strap to tie the magic equipment to Tanya’s waist. Then he grabbed Tanya’s shoulder, turned her body backwards, and pushed her back.

Tanya, unable to overcome her strength, ran a few steps, stopped, and looked back.

Ziggs was already looking up at the Ofilis pavilion full of spirits, paying no attention to Tanya.

Tanya hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes tightly, and ran out into the path.

“Whoa…”

Ziggs took a deep breath and pulled out his sword. I checked the flow of magic power with my other hand.

Yenica’s pursuit is slower than expected. Since the spirits have already seen their movements, chasing them shouldn’t be that difficult… but I don’t know why.

My guess is that he is having a conversation with Lortel.

Was it when the person you were targeting ran away right in front of you, and the two of you were having a nice conversation? I know that the two didn’t get along very well to begin with.

However, Ziggs soon shook his head. What good is all this love while news of Ed’s death is coming? Both of them are no different from vengeful ghosts in sorrow.

Dealing with those two won’t be easy, but it will be enough to give Tanya enough time to escape and then run away. That much is possible.

But just because you know that doesn’t mean you don’t break out in a cold sweat.

A spirit priest reveals himself between the broken exterior walls.

Her clothes were completely soaked, and a few strands of hair sticking out were stuck to her cheeks, making her look extremely worn out.

As she gets on top of the giant falcon made of water, all the fluid spirits that fill the surrounding area follow her and come down to the ground.

The appearance is similar to the arrival of the king. She is the queen of the spirits herself, slowly descending to the ground, holding a long oak staff at an angle in one hand.

Ziggs took a fighting stance and looked straight at her as she slowly landed on the ground.

Ziggs gritted his teeth and shouted at her, who jumped down onto the stone floor.

“Now you won’t listen to anything I say, Senior Yenika. I completely understand your feelings.”

Ziggs straightened his sword and spoke with a solemn attitude.

“But beliefs are different from person to person, so even though all the evidence pointed to that girl as the culprit, I decided to live with my intuition. If you don’t understand, there’s nothing you can do! That’s… my way of life. …!! I’ve lived like that my whole life!”

However, just because he was Ziggs didn’t mean he couldn’t understand Yenika’s feelings. He has a lover, Elka Islan, whom he loves with all his heart.

That’s why Ziggs was able to shout out to Yenika, who was suffering from a broken heart, more sincerely than anyone else. I don’t judge that pain carelessly.

“I love someone too, so I know it well. Just imagining it would be such a terrible pain… I also fully understand.

If I lose her, I will resent everything in the world, the years I have lived will become meaningless, and the opportunity for revenge will come. If you do, your whole body will burn with the flames of anger. It will be inevitable. Because he is the person you love! Because Senior Yenika loved Senior Ed more than anyone else…!” ”

What

.. what…”

Unfortunately, Ziggs From his perspective, there was no way for him to know that he was the only one who was serious about the world.

This is an inevitable situation. This is truly unfortunate.

If you listen to it from the perspective of Yenika, who has fully figured out the whole story, there is no other story that makes your face heat up like this.

“What should I choose to say when Senior Ed has already passed away? Why don’t I know? How sincere and wistful Senior Yenika’s love for Senior Ed was… Why don’t I know…!!”

“Ah… no…! Don’t talk too loudly…!!!”

“The wound in the heart will not be easily healed, but… I firmly believe that love is valuable in itself. Even if it is a lost love, the passionate heart that admired senior Ed will remain in the heart in some way and become a part of senior Yenika. I firmly believe that it will happen!!!”

-Kwakwang! Kaang!

The fire spirit’s flame exploded, and Ziggs was hit directly by an unexpected attack and fell.

No matter how cruel the forces of evil are, they are patient and wait for the transformation scene and the serious dialogue scene… I

did not expect that the kind Jenica would cut off and suddenly attack me in the middle of telling a serious story.

As for Yenika, her ears were already red and her eyes were watery, and she was trembling and stabbing Ziggs with her cane.

“Ed isn’t dead! Ed isn’t dead! So please stop…!!”

*

When I sniff, the fragrant smell of grass settles down and makes me feel at ease again.

That fresh smell of grass comes from the hay stacked on one side of the cabin. There were times.

Lucy didn’t particularly dislike the smell of grass, so she would roll around.

However, the maids at Ofili’s House would spray perfume on Lucy, saying that she didn’t like the smell of grass so much that she had to maintain her dignity. .

The fragrant scent of freesia flowers that you can smell from time to time as it is carried in the arms of the maids.

As it is a high-quality product, it felt quite fragrant even to Lucy’s nose, who had no interest in it, but she wondered if she should go to such lengths to get rid of the smell of grass that had permeated her body.

When I said that, the words the maids were saying to Lucy were truly shocking.

If you smell a scent repeatedly, it often settles in your body and turns into your own body odor. The

body of someone who smokes tobacco every day always has it. A girl with a heavy scent of the beginning of the year, who grew up playing in a peach orchard as a child, always had the fragrant scent of peaches flowing through her hair. Lucy tilted her head, but the maids were quite serious. So

the important thing is to respond first. Landa.

It is very difficult to change the body odor when it is too late to notice it.

You can change your body odor little by little only if you start dealing with it when it starts to permeate your body.

“There is a lot of work to do. First of all, we need to gather all the people involved and talk about it all at once. “Time is running out… The bachelors will be here soon…”

Ed said, wiping his rain-soaked face as he was trying to figure out why such a useless memory came out of nowhere. It’s

not that big of a story . . However, just as Ed’s heavy voice penetrated her ears, Lucy’s spine felt like it was burning.

It was difficult to look straight at her face, so she held down her hat and felt a great sense of discomfort in her chest, which was burning for no reason. She had never felt this way before in her life. It’s natural since it’s the first time.

“Now that things have come to this, I should explain my situation… But it’s also difficult if too much is known… Well… First of all, let’s tell Clevius, Elvira… and Ziggs and Lortel. That’s probably right. Tanya went to find Yenika… Okay, for now, let’s stop the rain and go inside.”

“Uh…”

Finally, her own voice started to come out, and Lucy managed to ask a question.

“What…?” ?”

“…Then you weren’t listening. Anyway, I have a situation, so I’ll explain it to you, so let’s go together. When we all got together and talked, we talked about something like that. And if we agree with each other, it will be easier to respond after the fact… You can’t even take this out, it’s the disciplinary committee. Besides… Clevius and Elvira seem to have been hurt quite a bit, so you should apologize.”

“Apology… an apology…?”

“Yes, they got hurt while trying to stop you. From the looks of it, Elvira lost almost all of the magical engineering supplies she had been making for a long time, and Clevius’ blood poured out like a waterfall.” ”

That… that… they said it was me…”

Lucy had nothing to say. That’s not true.

Even though she was half bereft of reason, Lucy tried to subdue those who stood in her way as gently as possible.

Of course, because of Lucy’s ridiculously powerful magic, even that may have felt harsh from the standpoint of blocking her, but… Anyway. There was no intention to make Elvira and Clevius like that.

Lucy didn’t think anything of it, but Elvira brought all the magical engineering supplies and went berserk, and Clevius even stabbed himself to perform the blood sword technique.

Come on . Lucy’s position is that she was just coping with being lifted.

But that is literally just Lucy’s position.

“No matter what anyone says, it doesn’t change the fact that you were the one who hurt me. I didn’t mean to, but I’m responsible to some extent, so I’ll tell you that. Let’s go together later.”

“Anyway…”

Lucy’s voice rang out again as she tried to refute something.

It was because Ed’s face was clearly visible as he let go of his regret. That wasn’t a particularly special reaction, and from Ed’s point of view, it was like everyday life. It was a reaction, but… Lucy felt like thunder was hitting her chest.

She was hated. She was treated like a pathetic person. Ed Ross Taylor was disappointed.

Suddenly, when that thought occurred to her, her spine suddenly felt hot.

Things like other people’s opinions and evaluations. Wasn’t she Lucy Mayril, who lived with a dog? She was a girl who lay down anywhere and took a nap with feather-like breath.

However, Ed’s expression made her feel like her airway was blocked, so she quickly clutched the brim of her hat and came up with an answer. “Oh, okay .

I apologize.”

“…Oh, okay. “You’re wise.”

She is a girl whose magnificent magical power can pierce even Mount Tai, and whose magic she wields makes even senior professors hold their tongues.

Lucy herself could not understand why a few words from Ed Rothtaylor had such great significance.

Is it time to organize my thoughts? However, the conclusion has already been reached. If it is true

that the identity of the emotion is love, then the question arises in my mind as to why I ended up harboring such feelings.

Here, I reminisce about the past. Lucy ended up regretting it for a long time. It was because her heart was hammering and the accident didn’t work out properly. She

lived with Ed for quite a long time. In fact, she wasn’t very aware of it.

In the first place, Ed’s camp was her first time. This is because it was just one of the best napping spots.

The man named Ed Rosstaylor was also just a caretaker walking around the camp, so there would have been no reason to feel that emotional about it.

However, he stayed at the camp for a little over a year. How about looking back at the things you did while living together and flirting with Ed?

Coming in and out of Ed’s cabin as if it were your own home. Taking a nap covered in a blanket in the bed where he slept every night.

Clinging to him while he was reading a book and crawling onto his lap. Lying down.

Being carried by his shoulders to a wooden resting place, basking in the heat of a campfire, with our backs to each other, gazing blankly at the starry sky, or sitting by a glowing fire and eating together. If that were the

relationship between the old wizard Glokt and young Lucy. The meaning may be completely different.

An old teacher and a young disciple. A grandfather and a granddaughter. A manager and a bridesmaid. Well, no matter what kind of relationship you compare and explain, it will be understandable.

However, if you were drawn to that memory and did not feel any resistance or distance from this daily life. That was a huge mistake.

The moment the target became Ed and the structure of the relationship changed to male and female, blood rushed to Lucy’s head in an instant. A

rush of heat hit her head, but there was nothing she could do now. The future You can change it with your own hands, but the providence of the world is that the past remains unchangeable.

He said that early response is the most important in controlling body odor.

However, there is no way that Lucy, who is always lazy and insensitive, would be able to make such a sensible initial response.

If you aren’t aware of the scent, is it already ingrained in your body?

Unfortunately, love is also like that. Lucy… has already come too far.

I can’t even tell when the change of heart began, but Ed’s characteristic, heavy grassy smell is already coming from her hair to her collar and hat.

Even if I realize the change in my heart later, I have already missed all the golden time to overturn it. In most cases, initial response loses its meaning if the timing is missed.

In that case, the only methodology left is… Now I have no choice but to find a way to somehow control my burning heart over time.

“Looking at you, it doesn’t look like you’re hurt at all. I guess so. Anyway, we don’t have time, so let’s go in quickly.”

If you let your guard down, the reason you start to lose your breath again is because all the emotions you have built up are coming flooding back all at once. Even though the timing was bad, it was really bad.

“No, that… Ugh…”

“Yenika must have been having a hard time looking for Tanya. I’m in trouble again, so I need to go quickly and finish the job and do something.”

The moment the name Yenica Palover is mentioned, Lucy takes actions that even she cannot understand.

“…?”

Ed turned quickly and headed toward the Ofilis building. The way he was hugging the sleeves of his clothes tightly and pulling them on… it was as if he was using them.

“….??”

Not only Ed, but even Lucy, who was actually taking that action, was shaking her eyes.

Only then does the girl begin to open her eyes to the desire for exclusivity.

“Kko… do you really have to go right now?”

This wasn’t an easy story again.

*

“Huh… Huh…!!”

While running through the forest, Tanya tripped over a rock and fell hard. After rolling on the muddy floor a few times, I finally got myself together.

“If… if this goes on… the living quarters… will come out…”

Tanya, who had been crying and shaking off the mud from her body several times, took another deep breath and stood up.

“I… I don’t know anything about how the situation came to be like this, but… for now… I have to live… I have to survive…!”

Tanya gritted her teeth, held back the tears that were threatening to well up, and moved her legs again.

“First of all… a place to ask for help… a place that has contact with the Ross Taylor family…”

Right now, saving one’s life is important.

The first place that comes to mind is… the royal residence. The Ross-Taylor family has deep connections with the imperial family, having produced many important imperial officials. Right now, matriarch Krapin Rosstaylor is Emperor Cloel’s closest aide.

The imperial family might be able to help. Of course, we will not leave this debt alone. Still, there was no place I could turn to any further than that.

“First… I have to move my legs…! I can’t rest… I’m sure… they’re chasing me… If I get caught… I really don’t want to get caught…”

It’s a pity, but… No one is chasing Tanya…

“And… the murder charge against my brother… I have to get rid of this too… I have to find out the truth… huh… huh… .!”

It’s truly sad… but in fact, the murder charges have already been dropped…!

“Never… get caught…!”

It’s sad if I have to say it… but it’s all shadow boxing…!!

However, there was no way for Tanya, who was cornered, to notice that.

In the end, whoever it was, there was only one thing they could say to her.

Just stay strong…Tanya Ross-Taylor…
