The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Ed subjugation battle (13)

?A huge amount of gold and silver treasures hidden in an underground wine cellar.

Dune found this and tried to use it as a justification for Lortel’s dismissal.

The imperial convoy was running to help him.

Taily McLaure rushes forward with the sole intention of saving Ayla.

After receiving his blow I tried to somehow regain consciousness but ended up losing consciousness.

These are things I vaguely remember.

I had no idea that Taily who was so devastated that she even had no energy to breathe would deliver such a powerful blow.

After all pride is a sin.

I’ve cornered Taily to the limit so what should I do with this level of attack? It wasn’t something to be treated lightly.

This is because Taylor McLaure’s willpower was stronger than I thought.

Well there is no great point in regretting the past. Now is the time when we have to somehow come to our senses and take care of our wounds.

With that thought in mind I opened my eyes.

It’s a cliché but it’s an unfamiliar ceiling.

And Lucy with a stereotypical face was on the boat.

“… “Is it deja vu?”

“… ?”

“No I think I regained consciousness like this last time.”

“When you collapsed from overwork last year?”

right. “At that time you unraveled quite a bit of my twisted magic power.”

“It’s the same this time too.”

The process of opening your eyes and exchanging stories is as natural as water.

Anyway when I look at Lucy who is somehow dazed I also feel like I’m being stretched so I try to keep my composure.

long time no see. Lucy.

“… I know. “It feels like I came back from a big mess.”

I tried to move my body but the pain started creeping up around my chest so I gave up.

Tailly’s sword wound crossed her abdomen but surprisingly even though Lucy was pressing down she didn’t feel much pain.

The girl is so light that it’s hard to tell if she’s a human or a feather but even taking that into account she feels surprisingly weightless.

“If you put unnecessary pressure on it it will only hurt you. So I used some lightweight magic.”

okay. I see But if you don’t get on the ship in the first place there’s no need to use lightening magic… ?”

That’s not allowed. “Your posture becomes uncomfortable.”

“Isn’t there any reason to sit up here like this and work out the twisted magic?”

“It’s easy to see your face.”

The answer left me speechless.

I often talk about it in a sarcastic tone but if I put it bluntly it’s a straight shot.

After speaking he seemed to think that it was a fastball that was sucked in too straight so he put some magic power into his fingertips as if he was being vague.

“Then can I ask you some questions that I should have asked as soon as I woke up?”

huh. “You can do it.”

“Where is this place how did you happen to be taking care of me how did the situation go after I collapsed what happened to the imperial family what happened to Tailley how did Ayla turn out and how did the Elte Company’s affairs end?”

“Yes I’ll answer only what I know.”

Lucy’s characteristic blank eyes and grumpy tone still remain. However it seemed like he was talking more than usual which was quite surprising.

Actually I’ve become quite close with Lucy.

Compared to the time when we just went to camp to take a nap we interacted a lot in various ways and became friends who knew everything we didn’t know about each other.

In addition there are few people who can be relied on as much as Lucy in times of crisis… It was a position that I always felt reassured by.

“This is the infirmary at the Trix Building and I gave Taily a good beating.”

“… ”

“… ”

“… That’s it… ?”

“Actually there’s nothing else to do other than finish. “Not even an hour has passed since I finished work.”

I was thinking that quite a long time must have passed since I lost consciousness and then woke up.

However in reality even though the basic first aid treatment and Lucy’s magical treatment went well her physical condition did not show much improvement.

“But the rain has stopped. “The sun is slowly rising in the morning.”

“Is that so?”

huh. “The night is over.”

I sighed deeply covering my eyes with the forearm I had raised with difficulty.

is it.

Only after such a pleasant monologue did my frozen brain begin to move properly again.

“… This is probably not a situation where you can lie still. I need to check everything that happened after that. First go back to the camp… ”

The moment I was about to say that Lucy took off her witch hat and pressed it against my face.

I thought my vision went black for a moment but all I could feel was the rough brim of my hat touching my skin.

no.

“… ”

rest.

Lucy’s characteristic is short but decisive expressions of emotion.

In fact as she is a girl who rarely expresses her feelings it is not often that she speaks so firmly.

Just observing the world as it goes by always letting things happen as they happen… Because he was a kid with a strangely spirit-like temperament.

“You can take a break later. Things to check now… Because these things are so important… “I have to see it with my own eyes. Even if I just go to the camp I will be able to figure out some important things.”

“Do you remember the promise we made before going to the Ross Taylor family at the beginning of vacation?”

I thought for a moment about Lucy’s unexpected question and then nodded.

“I kept my promise. “As you asked I dealt with that eyeball monster at Rosstaylor Mansion and went to the imperial palace where I was promised your personal safety.”

“… thanks.

“There’s no need to just give thanks in words. “I just wanted the return on my promise.”

Lucy’s expression was still unmoving as she quietly took off her hat again but recently I was able to extract subtle emotions even from Lucy’s expressionless face.

Just looking at her stern tone and slightly lowered eyes I think I can roughly read her state of mind.

“I don’t like being lonely anymore. “I need a reason for living that I can see and live by.”

That’s what I’ve already heard. That’s what I promised her too.

If you think about a girl named Lucy Mayril she is always alone.

In a way it is natural to have a temperament that does not fit in with others. Because I don’t try to easily understand or be understood by others.

I don’t even try to put anyone within my reach.

Because I know the pain of loss I don’t carelessly reach out. If you are trying to keep someone by your side it is the result of a very big decision.

Even though it may seem like a somewhat twisted feeling if you understand its underlying vagueness you can’t just say it’s wrong.

This is because human emotional issues are subjective. We cannot just say what is right and what is wrong.

“So please don’t get hurt.”

Soon Lucy lowered her upper body and buried her face in the pillow with her head on my shoulder.

The sight of him holding my head with his small hands was vague like he was holding something tightly in his arms that he didn’t want to lose… I also had nothing to say in response.

“There are some experiences in this world that you never want to have again.”

I stayed silent without any response… I apologized slowly.

“I’m sorry for making you worry.”

*After lying down like that for about 10 more minutes I was able to stand up when I raised my upper body.

In any case the sword wound suffered by Tailly does not seem to be deep. My hands were shaking just by lifting the sword so just being able to cut myself must have been a miracle.

The cut was large and the bleeding was severe but if you provide first aid well and stop the bleeding there will be no side effects.

However they say that scars are difficult to remove… Let’s think of this as self-employment.

“Anyway I heard you beat up Taily… ?”

Only then did I feel a sense of discomfort creeping in over time.

you… He was already in a state of complete disrepair… They said it beat more there… ?”

“I was so angry that I almost got into trouble. Still I am also a person who is improving. “I endured it with just a few punches.”

Even though Lucy’s punch did not contain any magical power it hurt more than a honey chestnut or a crack chest.

Those were truly reassuring words.

“Ugh ugh… ”

As I somehow managed to sit up Lucy was sitting next to me on one side of the bed holding a piece of beef jerky in her mouth.

In the meantime did you bring beef jerky from the cabin? Even her tongue sticks out at that quick wit.

After taking a bite he clenched his mouth and stomped his feet making a saggy face as if he had regained some sense of taste that he missed.

“I don’t recklessly cause trouble like I used to. “I thought about it slowly and realized your intention.”

“My intentions?”

“No matter what there’s no way you could so easily allow a swordsman attack on a child who is so completely disfigured.”

Clearly Tailley’s last sword strike was close to an indiscriminate attack that devastated the surrounding area without regard to the target.

It was a struggle to defeat the opponent even if it was just a last hope before losing all strength and collapsing.

It was obvious why he rushed in and blocked the opponent who was sure to destroy himself if he just watched.

“You were trying to protect the girl who was inside the wooden shelter.”

“… Speaking of which was he safe? To put it bluntly I tricked him a little so he’s more of an innocent person. So I was a little worried that he might get hurt. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

When I said that the answer didn’t come out right away.

Lucy who was mumbling with beef jerky in her mouth suddenly stretched her upper body forward opened her half-moon eyes and looked at my expression.

As I stared at her as if wondering what was the problem Lucy flopped onto the bed as if she was okay with it.

“I was safe. “After the convoy arrived he opened the door of the wooden shelter alone and came out crying with shocked eyes and hugging the swordsman.”

“… ”

“The Sword Saint’s expression was a bit dazed. “I guess they realized you jumped in to protect that girl.”

… is it.

It may have seemed strange from Tailley’s point of view.

At that point rushing in to stop Taily was almost like risking my life.

No matter how precious Ayla is as a material for research on Aspect magic isn’t it a bit strange that she is willing to risk her own life to protect it?

Tailly must have thought something like that.

“That girl told an interesting story.”

Suddenly Lucy stood up again after saying that. Then unlike before when he sat next to me he sat with his back to me.

He hugged his knees and laid his head on them… I pressed the end of my school uniform jacket that had excess sleeves.

“Seongchangryong Bellbroke.”

I was silent for a moment.

“They made a fuss about me saying something so strange and unbelievable. “To be honest even if it were me I would have doubted what kind of nonsense it was that a mythical ancient dragon came back to life out of nowhere and destroyed the entire Aken Island.”

“… ”

“… “Unless you remember what happened during joint combat training.”

What was not taken into account.

That is the boss battle in Act 3 of was skipped as is.

Therefore a girl named Lucy Mayril who must have been deeply hurt and lonely found a new reason for life and once again her blank eyes shine brightly.

The impact of the existence of the Irregular named Ed Rosstaylor is that it brought about a huge change in the existence of a girl named Lucy Mayril.

Above all Lucy is the girl who confirmed the existence of Seong Chang-ryong in that repeating loop.

“Why are you trying to handle it alone?”

“… ”

“You could have told me too.”

In fact it is not an opponent that can be defeated even if Lucy joins.

The final boss of this entire scenario is so massive that even Lucy struggles.

The majesty of the Holy Spear Dragon that descended covering the sky of Aken Island became a burden and weighed heavily on my shoulders.

“I thought for sure you wouldn’t believe it.”

“Of course you didn’t believe it. “If only it were like before.”

A stranger who invaded the set scenario called ‘Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint’.

That was my last time as Ed Ross Taylor.

You know what’s going to happen in the future. For some reason I can vaguely see the flow of the future.

I don’t think anyone would sympathize with me if I kept saying ridiculous things like that.

Because I started from the bottom.

This is because I started from the bottom where no one trusted me and only ridiculed me and I walked all the way shouldering all my problems alone.

“But it’s not like it used to be. now.

However change is always noticed too late.

Just like after climbing a mountain for a while you look at the scenery behind you and realize that you have climbed quite a bit.

Change is truly ironic because there are some things that you only learn when you look around you again.

I remember my first day in the forest.

There was no place to sleep right now so I forced myself to lie down in a wooden shelter made by gluing together trees.

The sound of insects ringing occasionally in a quiet forest. A landscape with no one around.

A time when I sat alone in the dark and quietly waited for the sun because there was no light source.

I was discussing the pain of loss and loneliness after seeing Lucy…

In fact I reflect on the fact that I was the one who was closer to loneliness than anyone else.

However what happens is that you find yourself once again taking it for granted.

“I will believe whatever you say and I will help you.”

This was because I felt uncomfortable because Lucy who was sitting back seemed to have said something that was truly uncharacteristic of Lucy.

Only then did I realize why Lucy had bothered to sit with her back to me. It must have been a rather embarrassing thing to say to her face.

I can’t quite imagine what kind of face Lucy behind me might be making. Still I didn’t bother to look at it out of consideration for myself.

When I looked up all I saw was a crumbly wooden ceiling.

“Let’s go towards Elte Trading Company.”

Eventually I crawl out of bed.

Lucy who was puffing out her cheeks and looking at me dissatisfied told me that she was accompanying me because she was really worried.

No matter how much I think about it I can’t just sit still like this.

It is time to see with your own eyes how the situation has been resolved.

Taily and Ayla. Lortel and Dune. Princess Fenia and Princess Persica. And even Vice Principal Rachel.

Where did I end up in the midst of the tangle of interests and beliefs?

And the most important thing.

Is it Dune or Lortel who is currently sitting as the acting chairman of Elte Trading Company?

I had to check the results.
