Chapter 35

Ofilis Hall Occupation Situation (5)

– ‘Something suddenly comes up that needs to be done, so I think I might be a little late. I’ll be there as quickly as possible, so please wait a moment. Sorry.’

It would be a lie to say that there was no sense of discomfort.

From the tone of the words left in the note, it was quite possible to predict that Ed Rosstaylor was caught up in something unexpected or in trouble.

Nevertheless, Yenica gave up worrying about Ed Rothtaylor. This is because he has always handled the crises or problems he faced smoothly.

There is no waste in action and processing is always quick. From simply chopping firewood or making household tools to intervening with the student center punitive force that was cornered due to Yenika’s mistake…

Ed Rosstaylor is a man who will solve any problem, no matter how big or small. It creates some kind of anticipation.

Only after piercing the blind spots of such complacent thoughts can humans reflect on themselves.

– ‘I will definitely help you at that time.’

I remembered what Ed said while sitting at his camp and looking up at the stars.

It means that if something happens that is difficult to handle on your own or if you face difficult hardships, be sure to ask for help.

Yenica Failover knows full well her own strength. Because of his humble and considerate nature, he did not reveal it at all, but he was full of confidence that he would definitely be able to help in times of crisis.

But Ed Rothtaylor didn’t ask for his help.

He fights until he is covered in blood, but eventually collapses in complete disrepair. Even though Yenika would give me strength at any time just by asking for help, I fought alone to the end.

What is the reason?

Why did he lead Yenika out of Ofilis Hall by leaving behind an incongruous letter and why did he fight there, shedding blood?

I don’t know what’s going on in Ofilis Hall, but maybe Yenika didn’t want to get caught up in it?

Yenica Failover’s strength is not at a level that can be overcome even with Ed’s consideration.

However, Yenica has already received a lot of disciplinary action due to the Glaskan incident. If I were to cause more trouble here, I would end up having to take back with my own hands the light punishments that all of my classmates worked hard to receive.

However, even after seeing Ed Rosstaylor fight until he was covered in blood, would he have been able to endure it without coming forward to the end? I find myself shaking my head.

That’s why Ed Rosstaylor drove Yenica out of the battlefield.

As soon as the thought reached that point, an unbearable anger surged within Yenica’s heart.

I don’t know why Ed Rosstaylor was fighting like this. However, I at least know that he is not a person who commits unreasonable acts or commits evil acts, as the world’s opinion suggests.

What was Ed Rosstaylor doing while he was out here fighting like this?

What was Yenika thinking as she headed out to the scene of battle with a solemn heart?

I thought about how her clothes looked, how her hair was messy, what color her hairpin was, and I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited by expectations that didn’t come true. I was like a girl lost in love, just letting my happy imagination run wild.

The direction of anger is towards oneself.

But right now, it’s time to put that anger aside.

-Shoot.

With his head down and his back turned to the sound of the rain, he quietly asks Taily and the others.

“What were you doing?”

There is frost in the voice.

“Senior Yenika?”

Tailly was the first to react.

Of course, there was no way Tailly could understand Yenika’s feelings at this point.

“Luckily, it looks like you didn’t get caught up in the situation! Senior Yenika. Right now, Ofilis Building is occupied by other students. But… I don’t think that’s the end. Ed, this person will block the road until the end. If you look at it, there’s clearly more than that…”

“Really?”

It’s hard to see Yenika’s eyes as she lowers her head. However, we can at least know that his eyes are looking straight at his companions.

At that moment, a huge amount of magical power fluctuates around the main entrance of Ofilis Hall.

The mana sensitivity possessed by the second-year head of the Ministry of Magic makes even graduates hold their tongues. My collar flutters and the wind hits my skin. The small chandeliers hanging from the ceiling are shaking like crazy and are threatening to fall next to the main chandelier, which has already reached the end of its life.

“What?!”

“Senior Yenika! What are you doing!”

High Fire Spirit Tarkan is not summoned.

Despite its enormous power, it has not yet fully recovered from the damage caused by the death it encountered upon manifestation.

However, there is no need to borrow the power of a high-ranking spirit against the trio of first-year students.

Lieutenant Fire Spirit Orgoath Lieutenant Wind Spirit Lieutenant Fessi Lieutenant Water Spirit Flan Lieutenant Earth Spirit Tyke.

Even to deal with just one, as many as four mid-level spirits, which would require a party, rise up.

In addition, countless other corporeal spirits and lower-level spirits stirred and rose up, making the scene look like an army.

The windows on the first floor are broken one by one by the swirling storm. Rain and wind mixed with glass shards are caught up in a storm of mana, drenching the main hall.

“Wake up, Taily! You’re the enemy!”

Elvira was the first to finish assessing the situation and picked up all the reagent bottles. I’m putting them one by one through the cracks in the torn alchemy bag, but it’s not easy because the storm-like rain is blocking my view.

“You know. Actually, I wasn’t that curious about what you guys were doing.”

What Yenika wanted to ask wasn’t that complicated.

Did you guys make Ed look like that?

So… I just didn’t ask that directly.

Whatever is going on in Ofilis Hall or what Tailley’s group was thinking when they entered Ofilis Hall is no longer of interest to Yenika.

“Yenika!”

It was only then, through the rain and wind, that the boy’s voice was heard.

Even though he couldn’t control his body properly, the boy squeezed his voice and shouted Yenika’s name.

When Yenika saw the boy’s mangled body, her heart ached. Jenica didn’t want to make him use more effort, so she spoke quietly to Ed.

“Just one minute Ed.”

It’s roughly 1 minute.

That’s enough to sort out the situation.

The aftermath of destroying the Ofilis building, hurting juniors, and breaking school rules is fully depicted. Nevertheless, it is ultimately her past self that accelerates Yenika’s actions.

If you want to live up to expectations, don’t want to hurt others, and try hard for the people you’re close to, you’ll probably see yourself in the mirror.

Ed, covered in blood and collapsing while trying to handle the task alone, thinking of Yenika, is the image reflected in the mirror on the other side.

That sight is what makes Yenica Failover angry.

Yenica herself knows best how heartbreaking and sad that is, so she cannot neglect Ed Rothtaylor.

A flaming eagle and a swirling lion in the form of wind. A giant made of water and a horse made of clay rise up for their master. Each one of them is a mid-level spirit that can only be subdued by charging at least four or five people.

Tailley and the others took their stances, breaking into a cold sweat.

“We have to run, Taily.”

Elvira accurately assessed the situation.

I don’t know why Yenika was so angry, but it would be suicidal to shamelessly attack the famous second-year head of the Ministry of Magic.

Even Lortel, who was evaluated as the best among the members of Class 1 A in terms of delicate use of magical power… was not even able to make a sound in front of that monstrous spiritist.

“Let’s admit it. We can’t get through here.”

An unplanned existence. Ed Rothtaylor, a fallen nobleman, sits guarding the first floor of the Ofilis Building.

Even with the overwhelming difference in power, it took a long time to subdue him, and even the second-year senior showed up and showered him with the spirit of the lieutenant. You can’t put yourself in this crazy situation just because of a few expensive herbs.

“That’s… But…”

But Tailly can’t shake off the uneasy feeling.

It seems that what is happening at Ofilis Hall is not just a simple occupation. There is clearly something greater hidden behind it… I can feel the presence of darkness.

From Tailley’s perspective, it may all be someone else’s problem, but it’s a different story if there are actually students who are harmed.

Tailly’s sense of justice is innate, and his refusal to give in in the face of hardship is a quality that will take him to his grave.

The obvious fact is that Tailly is the one who will live the life of the main character.

I have already experienced the huge wall called Yenica Failover. Can the overwhelming power difference really be overcome with perseverance?

However, that uncertainty is not that important to Tailley.

Taily is a person who always acts according to what he believes is right. I have lived through seemingly impossible trials with courage and courage.

However, the reason Tailley’s recklessness was able to be seen as correct is because this world has recognized Tailley as the main character.

The flow of the world in which the trials are overcome in some way and Tailly grows based on those trials… will continue to repeat as long as the flow of the scenario called ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’ continues unbroken.

However, the enemy we meet again, Yenika, exists outside the ‘scenario’.

Will Tailly’s temperament as a protagonist be effective in an enemy that pops up outside the flow of the story? Will he be able to overcome such an overwhelming power difference with his strong temperament?

It is a fact that everyone knows, but the trials in the world are not as easy as a dramatic game scenario.

If the power difference is overwhelming, it is right to lose. The development of overcoming an ordeal through a sudden awakening of power or a coincidence of unexpected intervention… is usually a story within a scenario.

“Tailly! Come to your senses! Face reality! All the windows are broken, so go that way…”

“So, go when you have to…!”

It was Ed Rosstaylor who stood up and interrupted Elvira.

*

“Yenika! It’s okay. Just calm down!”

Yenica’s anger reached its peak, and it was like a disaster itself.

The fluttering hem of her robe and light pink hair were already completely wet from the rain, making her look like a virgin ghost crawling up from a swamp.

If all went according to plan, I was going to send Tailley and his group upstairs, sit in the rose pavilion with Yenika, talk about personal matters, and just watch until the end to see the Opilis Hall occupation situation come to a successful conclusion.

In case Jenica went somewhere else, I left a note and promised that I would come soon.

I thought that Yenikainimankum, who is naturally innocent and kind, wouldn’t move from that spot if he had made such a clear promise and even apologized… but I don’t know what brought him back to Ofilis Hall.

In any case, Yenica’s good nature ended up working in a bad way.

I thought we had become quite close by talking about various things and spending time together at the camp, but Yenika was never a great person who would sit still even after her close friend was beaten up like this.

In any case, if left alone, Tailley and the others will have no choice but to get beat up helplessly.

“Listen carefully. I will take care of Yenika, so you go up to the second floor as planned.”

“yes?”

Ayla Tris looked at me with an expression that made no sense.

“You blocked us like that earlier, and now you’re telling us to go up to the second floor?”

In the first place, I just tried various tricks to find out about Tailley’s specifications. If you don’t meet the requirements to clear Act 2, it will be a big problem.

“I’ve changed my mind, so go up quickly.”

“Ahaha well. Are you going to stop those spirits? I’m completely covered in wounds, and now?”

Elvira, who was laughing at this situation, hit the honey chestnut hard on her head. Elvira said, “Ahh!” and took a step back, covering her head.

“Take care of the reagents. “I’m sorry for tearing the bag.”

Elvira’s reagents with various effects are useful in the battle to conquer the twin maids on the third floor. Elvira is the most annoying opponent among the Ofilis Hall subjugation team, so I sealed the reagents first and fought. But… after this, there won’t be anyone who bothers you that much.

The Occupation of Ophelis Hall isn’t that difficult of an event to begin with. It looks like you have enough power, so you can relax your shoulders a bit after this.

“What… this and that…!”

Elvira looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, but I didn’t have the presence of mind left to pay attention. I

walked through the rain pouring in from the broken window in the center of the hall. It was only then that I

could see Yenika’s eyes clearly in the midst of the swirling spirits. The coldness of her eyes felt very different compared to usual.

In any case, the reason Yenika was angry to the end was because of her innate personality.

However, she had connections . There’s something about being good…

It’s really fortunate, but I’m already close enough to Yenika.

In the end, there is no asset greater than people.

Blood ties, school ties, regional ties…! Thank you for clearing the way for me to be blocked in the stuffy life. D. I am grateful… The three secrets of personal connections.

No matter how rich, talented, and well-off the noble family is, they are always humble and kind to those around them. Isn’t that because personal connections don’t know how to return the favor…!

Now, you can clearly see the benefits of those connections. It was time.

I walked straight towards Yenika.

All kinds of spirits filled the hall, but they paid no attention to enemies that were not hostile to their master. I

made my way through the gap and came straight in front of Yenika.

“Ed, don’t overdo it. Instead, stand aside. I’ll finish the rest.”

“Yenika.”

“You can explain the details later. First, let’s finish the work quickly and start with the treatment…”

I put my hands on both of Yenika’s shoulders and said straight up,

“I’m really fine, so you can do it in moderation now.”

In essence, sudden skinship is a symbol of rudeness. Touching her shoulders without saying a word. I know very well how burdensome it is to raise your hand and look straight in the eye.

However, when dealing with someone whose emotions are so intense that their ears are closed, it is also necessary to make a gesture that tells them to listen clearly. “

Huh ?!”

Nica regained her usual self a little and said,

“Eh Ed! Hand on shoulder! There’s a hand on my shoulder!”

“Yenika… First, send the spirit back. The wind was so strong that it was difficult to stand…”

“Huh?! Wow, that’s right. It must be hard to control yourself. Sorry..! What should I do… I guess I’m a fool….”

From then on, it was an instant.

The swirling storm of magical power died down in an instant, and all the spirits that were waiting for the owner’s attack order disappeared in an instant.

After a while, The main hall of Philly’s Building was filled with the sound of rain again.

“…”

I was so concerned that Tailly and the others were just staring in this direction in a dazed state that I quickly waved my hand at them. They

all looked like they had seen ghosts. They have the same face.

If we keep doing this and lose sight of Clevius wandering around on the second floor, work will become even more troublesome.

“Go up quickly… you probably won’t have much time…”

With that, I finally relaxed my body. .

Yenika was struggling as she frantically supported my body as I fell helplessly.

*

-Saaaaa

“I’m so upset.”

The pouring rain was still growing stronger.

Yenika, who was sitting next to me, holding my knees, said in a low voice. It’s not a good thing because it

‘s sinking. The main hall on the first floor of the Ofilis Building is in disarray. Tailly and the others headed up the stairs to the second floor, and only Jenika and I were sitting against the outside wall, listening to the sound of rain.

Both of us were completely soaked. Although it was a funny sight… there are times when you feel a strange sense of liberation or elation after getting caught in the cool rain.

Anyway, Tailly’s specifications themselves seem to be improving well.

The range of elemental cuts, the agility of movement, and the accuracy of sword strikes, etc. Judging by this… it looks like I completed all the regular events well.

Of course, if I think about it from my perspective alone, I’m not fully spiritualized. But that’s only because I’m completely adept at training… I’ve only met the clear specifications enough. I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with that.

Anyway, from now on, it’s a matter of mental power for the time being. As the scenario goes on, the human spirit is pushed to its limits. The

aspect magic used by Professor Glast traps Tailly within a gap of time, causing hundreds and thousands of deaths. Lucy’s high-level magic will actually push Tailly to the brink of death, and the evil spirit Mabula summoned by matriarch Crepin will trap the enemy in the worst nightmare the victim thinks of .

.

In addition, even in trials that test human mental strength to the limit, Tailly will never give in.

I’m saying this repeatedly, but… I don’t like such trials.

I thought I would just take advantage of what was convenient for me and just take advantage of what I could, but when I came to my senses, it was like this. After all, not everything in this world works out the way you want.

“Why do you keep getting hurt without talking to me? I told you to seek counseling if something like this happens…”

“There were some circumstances for that. I’ll tell you everything next time…”

I persuaded Yenika, who was holding out her hand to go see a therapist right away. So I decided to sit on the first floor of the main hall until the incident was over.

The location changed from the rose garden to the main hall of the Ofilis Building, but everything went as planned as far as waiting quietly and checking to see if there were any unexpected variables.

For a while, I sat side by side with Yenika and watched the rain falling steadily outside the half-destroyed main hall.

There were some variables, but anyway, I passed the first floor safely, and Tailly’s specifications themselves seem to be growing well.

The incident itself went according to plan…

“Those kids are really mean too. I don’t know the details of what happened, but what reason would they have to hit someone like this? I’m going to be really angry the next time I see them.”

It is understandable that such a line comes out as Yenika is unaware of my actions, such as dropping the chandelier, setting fire to it, and even shooting an arrow.

I am grateful that they take my side unconditionally, but I am not very comfortable in the position of having to explain myself.

Well, it’s something that can be put off until later.

“Anyway… Ed… go somewhere and don’t get hurt again, okay? Okay, I promise.”

“Okay. Thank you for your concern.”

With that thought in mind, I gathered myself and took a rest. It was a bit different from the plan, but I did my job as the boss on the first floor…

I guess I can take a break and take care of my camp work.

I fell into that sense of relief and gathered myself together while listening to the sound of the rain.

I finally feel a little more at ease.

Until I heard what Yenika was saying.

“But Ed, I was sitting in the rose garden when I saw a really big carriage.”

“It passed so quickly that I couldn’t see it closely… but there was a golden crown drawn on it. When I thought about it closely, wasn’t that… the Elte Company carriage?”

“I read about it in a book a long time ago. That golden crown… It’s definitely… the head of the Elte Company… It’s the emblem of the ‘Golden King Elte’, right?”

The fake boss ‘Golden King Elte’ leaves after being stabbed in the back by Lortel in the ‘Sage’s Battle for the Seal’ that takes place after the occupation of Ofilis Hall is over.

The fact is that he arrived in Sylvania much earlier than expected.

This is because it is a story that something strange happened… outside the scope of my perception.

Breathing begins to slow down again.

*

“Are you any more injured, Taily?”

“Yes, Ayla looks fine. What about Elvira? Do you have enough reagents?”

“Go back. Don’t worry.”

Ofilis Pavilion, still pouring rain. 2nd floor stairs.

The three-person punitive force climbed the stairs and checked and refined each other’s strength again.

I feel like something is happening at Ofilis Hall. That fact is certain.

At least just looking at Ed Rosstaylor, who was blocking them from the first floor, there was something unusual.

It was so tiring to deal with Ed Rosstaylor, who could not see through his intentions, and even Yenica Palover almost joined the battle as an enemy.

I still don’t quite understand what it is, but I don’t think I can let my guard down any longer.

The enemies blocking Tailley and her group from this upper floor may be just as troublesome and difficult as the first floor… or even worse. Just imagining it gives me goosebumps.

Still, I have no intention of turning back.

After gathering their wits, the group continued climbing the stairs. It was impossible to let down one’s guard.
