I said, handing him the blanket.
“I brought you here to protect me… … .”
Kajuwea was in bad shape. Her hair was wet and tangled like seaweed, and her sweater was torn and tattered. Her wounds were shallow and would heal quickly, but there were many wounds all over her body. The guy was shivering, covered in a blanket, and sat in front of the wood-burning stove. His flying squirrel spirit opened his arms and hugged Kazu Weah by his side.
“Are you fighting? Are you serious about that too?”
The guy wasn’t discouraged at all.
Instead, he frowned, bit his lip, and shouted in an irritated voice.
“damn! There is no such thing as humiliation. “You barely won!”
“what?”
“That girl fought better than I thought. First of all, I didn’t expect you to attack me even though I had a nosebleed. “Atte!”
I put in firewood and increased my power. The heat of the bonfire reacted to the internal energy and burned like wildfire. Kajuwea, who was warming himself by the fire, was startled and fell backwards. The guy’s body dried quickly, but his hair became curly.
“Listen wisely. “Do you hit the child because you’re angry?”
“We’re the same age.”
“The experience is different.”
“what the! Confucius, would you have gotten into a fight with such a tomboy just because I was annoyed? “It’s too much.”
“Then why did we fight?”
Kazuwea sniffled and glared at me. She was exactly the teacup in my hand.
“I want to drink something warm.”
“Peppermint or rose?”
“cocoa.”
As welfare benefits, professors at Musenion receive precious ‘luxuries’ that cannot be enjoyed in Kunkan through support from the Free Kingdom. Among them, cocoa tea made from cacao beans was consumed sparingly because it was a rare tea in Kunkan. After hesitating for a moment, I scooped up two spoons of cocoa powder into a mug and handed it to him. Kajuwea smiled brightly, picked up the kettle boiling on the stove, and poured some water. Although he poured too much water compared to the cocoa, he drank it with a satisfied expression.
“I, Kajuwea, have not forgotten my position as a knight.”
“… “What were you?”
“You’re the vice-captain of the Spiritual Beast Knights and in charge of recruiting spiritualists! I touched it once. “Are they suitable talents for the Starfall Knights?”
I didn’t necessarily say it was useless.
“So, how is it?”
“It was amazing. If Medellin, who seemed the weakest, was at that level, then the other children were… “The Knights of Starfall have an immediate sense of power.”
Kazuwea shrugged his shoulders and added:
“Well, whether you can fight the devil is a separate question.”
What he said is right.
Having the ‘power’ to fight demons.
Having the ‘power’ to face the devil is another thing.
The subtle difference between just fighting and confronting.
Those who fight against the devil that stimulates the fundamental fear of humans are either those who have ‘anger’ to dilute the fear, or those who have an extraordinary spirit like Kajuwea, who made a f*cking noise while being eaten by the devil.
“It won’t be a problem.”
“yes?”
“maybe.”
I added two spoonfuls of powder to Kajuwea’s watery cocoa.

Lapis and Lazuli are the leaders of the Kosan clan. The Kosan clan, who had chased blood demons and hunted countless demons for hundreds of years, was still carrying out their duty of slaying demons using knowledge accumulated through blood and bones and strange and special powers, even though the chain of grudges was broken.
Although Lapis and Lazuli were young, they were the best among the demon hunters Kosan. Within a few days of entrusting them with the task of searching for demons, they achieved results. If I see with my eyes, they smell with their noses. The two found several stakes on a cliff in the remote forest of Musenion, under a tangle of vines.
I frowned as I looked at the iron stake the vanguard brought. It looked like an ordinary iron stake used to tie ships at a dock, but Cheonan Tong could read the traces. There was something dirty, like sewage, cleverly smeared on the stake.
“Is it of the devil?”
“no. but… This iron stake appears to be a ‘cursing tool’ mainly used by witch doctors in the Southern Islands.”
“Cursing tool? What do you curse?”
The twins responded by stamping their feet at the same time.
“It is land.”
According to them, it was an iron stake that witch doctors used to pollute the land and turn it into a land of death in order to curse greedy farmers who would take over their land. If you drive a stake containing the power of a curse into the ground, even if the soil is vibrant, it dies in an instant and dries out like a drought.
“It is a cursed land… … .”
The guy who put this stake in didn’t do it to ruin the garden.
There is a magic barrier in Musenion to prepare for demon attacks. The power of the Black Priest drives away the devil. However, it is not a completely flawless power. Ushas said: The source of anti-magic power is the power of life.
Here in Musenion, numerous forces were spread out like a net that obstructed and interfered with my eyes. The iron stake contains the power of a curse, but its power is so small that it is difficult to find.
“For now, focus on finding the iron stake.”
“All right.”
Will it work? Well, it’s probably at a preventive level.
But it’s better than staying still.
I asked the leader who could find the stake to remove it as soon as he found it.
Damn it, it would be easier to find the devil if I just got rid of all the annoying things.
I frowned and watched the scenery of Musenion spread out below the cliff.
My eyes are dizzy with the light emitted by students, professors, Musenion’s barrier, magic, hidden powers, and other strange and diverse forces. It occurred to me that this was truly the perfect place for the devil to hide.
* * *
It was a holiday. Lapis and Lazuli secretly searched Musenion under the prince’s orders, looking for iron stakes. They were faithful to their orders. Loyalty to Confucius, who saved him and his clan. Although he did not show it, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
“What are you doing?”
This is the blonde girl I saw in evening class. Ignoring the vanguard, I headed to the next area.
“Where.”
But I couldn’t walk anymore. Lily boldly stretched out her hand and grabbed her sleeve. Lapis and Lazuli stood there and glared at Lily. The expression became grim. But she doesn’t hate Lily. Lapis and Lazuli, who had been hunting demons since they were children, had no friends. Moreover, friends of different genders.
“You are Lazuli.”
Lily said, letting go of her left sleeve.

“Nice to meet you, Lapis. My name is Lily. Even though I am a music major, I just think of myself as an English math student! “You’re a new transfer student, right?”
Lapis and Lazuli were slightly surprised, but did not show it. Twins, they are identical in everything. If you don’t part your hair, the Kosan family that raised you will also be confused about the distinction between the two. The only people who could tell them apart at a glance were the owner of the silver sword and Prince Polestar.
“You’ve been wandering around since a while ago, what are you doing? play?”
‘She’s a woman with a keen eye.’
The two thought to themselves.
“Are you playing tag?”
“… what?”
Lapis looked at Lazuli. Why did you answer?
“I want to play tag too.”
Lily touched Lazuli and immediately ran away. But Lapis and Lazuli did not move. Lily, who had run away, looked behind her and then came back again, sighing as she spoke.
“What, it’s not fun.”
Lapis and Lazuli thought they were having a fun experience. Usually, by this point, most people lose interest. But that guy named Lily continued to talk to herself.
“You guys smell weird.”
“what?”
This time Lapis answered.
Lapis scratched her head as Lazuli looked at her.
“Even in class, I just sit still. Hmm, I’m a student of English mathematics, but I’m not a spiritualist. Rather, you guys. I played a lot of roles in ‘My Hometown’… “It smells strange.”
The twins were thinking about running away.
“Would you like me to hear you play?”
Lily took out Byella from the instrument bag on her shoulder.
He grabs Chae without even listening to their answers. The monkey spirit dances. The two couldn’t see it.
But two.
“If it’s just for a little while… … .”
“hmm.”
I sat on the bench and listened to Lily play.

The martial arts competition continued even when six transfer students arrived.
I intentionally put Gowoon and Hugo together. The two have similar aspects. It’s called homophobia. I am very curious what kind of ending awaits me. They may become enemies or they may become friends, but what is certain is that they will be inspired by each other.
* * *
Hugo took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of his iron sword. Although his wounds were quite severe for training, Hugo did not collapse. He wiped his sweat, but his blood came out. Nevertheless, his fierce gaze is directed at the opponent.
“you also.”
On the other hand, the red-haired boy had no injuries.
However, his surroundings were full of black marks.
“It’s a poisonous tumor.”
Fine Solgar.
A person with Solgar’s blood flowing.
Hugo was confident. Solgar’s instructor’s favorite student also won. He wanted to prove it. If you defeat the author, you will be compensated for the wasted time you spent in the Knight Department. But when he first crossed swords with him, Hugo realized. Even though he realized it, he couldn’t accept it right away and stormed off again. But the result was the same.
It was overwhelming.
If they are the same age.
Hugo, who thought that he could be defeated by anyone in swordsmanship if they were at least the same age, was astonished by Goun’s swordsmanship, which overwhelmed him with overwhelming force. I didn’t think he was arrogant. He just hadn’t thought about it.
monster.
That there is a monster that goes beyond common sense.
Hugo, who only wanted to fight with swordsmanship, ended up using the power of the spirit beast, but was never able to break Goun’s sword.
Fight, fight, fight.
A dance class that lasted several days,
Without changing the opponent, he continued to attack Goun.
“Hmm.”
He must have felt the power gap,
It’s usually foolish to keep attacking an overwhelming opponent.
But Gowoon didn’t think Hugo was a fool.
He was all too familiar with the sight of Hugo getting up and attacking him even when he fell down.
like… … .
“Hwaap!”
visor-!
Hugo’s blow was easily suppressed.
Goun approached the fallen Hugo and held out his hand.
“Tsk.”
Hugo hesitated and then took Goun’s hand. But as he was trying to get him up, he suddenly withdrew his hand and Hugo rolled backwards violently.
“You bastard!”
“Why do you work so hard?”
Hugo, who was extending his fist in response to Gowoon’s question, stopped in an awkward position.
“Damn, this feels so familiar. Let me ask you something. “Why do you work so hard?”
“… “What are you talking about?”
“Often, when it comes to famous quotes from ‘masters’, they cannot be left out. Those who have something they cannot give up can continue to become stronger. What are you. “What can’t you give up?”
Hugo looked into Goun’s eyes. He knew that too. The author’s strength is not just a talent given at birth.
“There is no obligation to speak.”
“It’s because I’m an illegitimate child.”
“… what?”
“Why are you surprised? “Is it weird to say something like this when we’re not even close friends?”
Gowoon scratched his cheek, then shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking.
“It’s annoying. It’s like looking in a mirror. Damn, he laughed in a meaningful way. Damn you.”
Goun, who realized Prince Reinberg’s intentions, became annoyed. At first glance, this situation seemed irritating, but Gowoon decided not to fool himself. The back of his neck was itchy. Is it because he felt a sense of kinship? If Gowoon were Hugo, wouldn’t he recognize him? That’s what he thought.
Even though Hugo was exhausted, he attacked Goun once again. Goun, who was trying to ignore the attack, noticed Hugo’s change in momentum and adjusted his sword.
Grumble-!
Hugo’s sword spewed fire. It attacked Gowoon, using the flames that rose like the hero’s sword that decapitated the Giant King as its blade. Goun swung his sword six times in an instant and struck down Hugo’s sword. The two iron swords could not withstand the clash of forces and broke.
Hugo puts down his broken sword.
“You yourself…” Do you think you can succeed the Solgar family and become a red pillar?”
Sensitive questions that may be considered taboo,
However, Goun responded by casually throwing the melted iron sword on the floor.
“of course.”
Hugo asks again.
“Are all Solgar’s children monsters like you?”
“well.”
Goun’s answer was at a level that the Kunkan people would shudder to hear.
“It’s a bit difficult for the eldest brother, but the rest…” … .”
Hugo felt that Gowoon’s smile was very confident.
“It’s all shit.”
“is it.”
Hugo stopped Martin, who was returning from office work. And he borrowed his sword.
“We both have no choice but to work hard together.”
He said, aiming at Goun.
“I will take a lesson from you.”
The burden on my back was still heavy.
Hugo thought that his steps had become lighter for some reason.
