To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 18

Episode 18 Village of the Elves (1)

After holding each other in check for a long time and not moving, they stood facing each other with their bodies strained.

There wasn’t much to be gained by just sticking with it.

Even if he moved, he seemed to have a chance if he attacked first.

However, as long as you don’t know the opponent’s purpose, you can cause more damage by recklessly attacking.

It was necessary to stop the opponent with the minimum attack and the maximum defense.

While Ray was imaging the opponent’s attack and disturbing the mana around him, the opponent spoke.

“human……?”

“…”

I sweated without relaxing my muscles.

It means that you cannot see the other person, but the other person sees you.

I don’t know the magic, but the physical difference was clearly revealed.

The other person relaxed a little and spoke again.

“What is the human child doing here? Are you lost?”

I felt a little hostility, but unlike the beginning, the sharp momentum was gone.

Rey, slightly relieved, replied.

“I was just resting here for a while.”

“Were you resting…?”

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he didn’t like something.

The owner of the voice continued.

“This is our territory. If you don’t like people getting sick, get out of here.”

“huh? I haven’t heard of anyone buying this land.”

“We don’t buy land from humans. Do not think that all territory belongs to you humans.”

“okay okay. I’ll sit down for a bit and then I’ll go.”

“Right Now. You must leave immediately.”

“Are you really going to sit down for a little while?”

“Get out, human child.”

The listening child felt bad.

It was too much even if I wanted to hear it.

I can’t even sit down for a while in this wide forest.

Ray, who was stressed out because he had a lot to think about, forcibly suppressed his irritation.

“Whoa… the world won’t leave me alone.”

Ray stood up from his seat muttering an incomprehensible sound and said while shaking his butt.

“Get out of there. I’ll go whatever you want. Let’s see what the face of the owner of this big forest is like.”

“…”

The owner of the voice didn’t think to come out, whether he heard him or not.

I tried to say hello face-to-face, but I was rejected.

Annoyed by that, Ray sat down on the rock again and threw it away.

Then he said bluntly.

“Are you not coming? Then I won’t go either.”

“get out!”

He spoke in a loud voice as if embarrassed, but Ray, who had already lost his will to leave, did not even pretend to listen.

The opponent was silent for a moment, then spoke quietly.

“I don’t listen to words. A very naughty kid.”

“You don’t have a habit of looking at others when you don’t even say hello. I am very excited.”

Ray, who was already crooked, shook his head sarcastically at his opponent.

Seeing that, the opponent quickly rushed into the shade of the tree.

Neatly avoiding the flying palms aiming for her head and neck, Ray twisted her side to avoid the mana-clad hand and hit the opponent’s hand and went down.

Ray was also surprised to see her looking at Ray with a surprised expression, probably because he did not know that he would be blocked by humans.

His presence is so great, his ears are long enough to be immediately recognizable when he sees his face, and he doesn’t look human.

In addition, the clothes that seemed to be made by weaving leaves and plants told anyone who saw them that they were them.

“Elf!”

He had only learned about the different races through books, but it was the first time he had actually met them.

The opponent seemed to be taken aback that his one move was stopped by a human rather than that his identity had been revealed.

she said in surprise.

“A child blocked my attack.”

It wasn’t intended to kill, but it was powerful enough to catch a child and throw it out of the forest.

Ray watched her no matter what the other person was thinking.

The outstanding body and jawline of the face drew a graceful curve, as if it would flow down smoothly if it rained, and the eyes that matched the light brown hair color were innocence itself.

The eyes that harbored freedom were not something you could have just because you lived freely.

she muttered to herself.

“Obviously, the smell is human… but it’s too strong for his age…”

Ray condensed his mana in preparation for the same attack as before.

“You are human. It is true that I am a bit strong.”

She also nodded at his answer.

“I’ll admit that I’m stronger for my age.”

As she finished speaking, her hand came back.

“Still, there is no need for weak humans in this forest.”

He ducked backwards to avoid the palm flying towards his side, and quickly used his mana.

Ray exploded the concentrated mana within her reach.

The air burst and a shockwave hit her.

Kwakwang –

“Ugh!”

She flew away with a shriek.

If it was fire magic, she would have been injured.

After flying 2 meters, she quickly got up from her seat.

She couldn’t come to her senses from the fierce battle just now.

Being an elf second only to dragons in terms of mana, he did not expect the opponent’s mana to move.

It meant that the opponent was a strong person who could manifest magic without even knowing mice or birds if he put his mind to it.

The look of never looking back, even against yourself. It was not difficult for her to notice that it was because she was confident.

A human child pushing himself? This made no sense to her even thinking about it.

So, there was only one answer.

she muttered in doubt.

“Could it be… a great race…?”

“A great race? What is it?”

Looking at Ray, who tilted his head with his eyes narrowed because he didn’t understand the meaning, she felt a small relief.

If they had been transformed into humans through polymorphs, even those sensitive to mana could not recognize them.

However, if it wasn’t for the great race, I wondered how on earth they could have deceived themselves and cast magic.

It was impossible for even a high elf to use magic without the knowledge of the elves.

Ray suddenly stood and stared at her, who was staring at him.

‘It’s a look that makes me speechless even if I look at it.’

As he was thinking about that, her little mouth opened.

“Interesting….”

“I’m a bit of an interesting personality.”

“I can’t believe you’re young enough to speak.”

Her fighting posture had long since loosened.

She pondered for a moment.

Elves are a closed species, but they had to interact with them at least.

So, if there are decent humans, they bring them to the village and judge them.

This is because in order to interact with humans, you must first have someone you can trust.

In his own eyes, the human child in front of him was young and moderately strong.

His personality is a bit eccentric for his age, but he doesn’t seem to have a bad disposition.

In addition, there were high elves in his village, so there was no problem even if other situations occurred.

she made up her mind

“Follow me human. I’ll let you stay in this forest.”

“huh? No, I was going to go now.”

He had left the house for a walk anyway, so he was thinking of returning soon.

When I was told to go out, I felt depressed for some reason and wanted to go home.

Whether she knew the idea or not, she said.

“We honor the strong. That’s the rule we’ve learned in Grandel’s Forest Village. Besides, even though you’re a weird guy, I don’t think you’re dangerous.”

Elves don’t lie.

That made Ray even sadder.

At her words, Ray said with tears in his eyes.

“…that’s kind of the case. Rather, is this place called Grandel’s Forest?”

“that’s right.”

Ray looked around once again and thought.

‘Elves don’t lie. I have nothing to do anyway, so should I follow you?’

“Okay, but promise me you won’t attack me.”

At his words, she nodded.

“I’ll promise.”

She finished talking and immediately started walking in the lead.

Ray asked him.

“Looking at you walking, do you think it’s close to here?”

“It’s a bit far.”

“I have to go home by the end of the day. let’s hurry.”

As he urged her, she glanced at Ray and said.

“Can you catch up with me even if I speed up?”

“Um… maybe?”

“…good.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her model flew forward.

Ray looked at him and opened his mouth.

“Wow, there are so many trees…”

Due to the nature of the topography of a forest, trees are inevitably an obstacle to gaining speed.

But is it still an elf? They ran as if they knew all the locations of the trees, but the speed continued steadily without slowing down.

Ray also condensed mana into his heels to gain speed.

And exploded just like before.

Boom –

The exploding mana is immediately scattered into the air, and the mana of the other foot explodes again.

Repeating this action, it bounced forward at tremendous speed like a thruster.

She turned slightly after hearing a rather loud noise.

And I was in awe.

I never thought I’d move with an air shot!

In addition, how exquisitely the mana was controlled, the leaves and grass were only flying a little on the floor, but the trees and the ground were not damaged in the slightest.

A voice mixed with bewilderment flowed from her mouth, which, in human eyes, was proud of maintaining her calm while living for many years.

“What crazy!”
