How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 239

Subjugation of Velbroke (7)

A majestic wagon, symbolizing the majesty of the imperial family, had collapsed on the side of the road.

The splendid ornaments were already stained and splattered with blood. The wheels were pulled out and rolling in the surrounding grass, and the doors were rattling, so it seemed hard to expect the role of a wagon any longer.

Beside him, dragging the hem of his dress, Selaha Einir Chloel hid behind the wreckage of a toppled carriage.

Two of the five escort knights who were escorting Princess Selaha died, and the coachman died miserably after being attacked by the monsters.

Princess Sellaha frowned and stared at the wheels of the idling wagon, then asked the surviving escort knights.

“The imperial family quarters were attacked? Obama’s safety is at stake.”

“yes. That’s right. We were able to save our lives because the monsters hardly fell, but I heard that several high-ranking monsters raided the royal residence…”

Princess Selaha gently closed and opened her eyes and put the situation together again.

If you look around, it is full of corpses of all kinds of monsters. It was a relatively weak force, but it was an amount that was difficult to handle with four or five escort soldiers.

He somehow managed to keep his lifeline alive, but the words that the imperial family quarters had been breached kept stomping on his heart.

Before long, the butler, Dest, who had captured and inserted the bloody rapier, bowed his head politely.

“Looking at the antebellum flying in, it seems that they are somehow maintaining the defense line. However… there was news that Princess Penia’s escort leader Claire had died.”

“I see… Penia has lost a powerful ally. That knight has always been on the side of Fenia… It will have a great influence on the formation of the imperial power…”

Saying that, Selaha looked up at the sky, which seemed to embody hell, and said.

“In the yard where the situation is like this… I wonder if something like a competition for imperial authority is important.”

“What would you like to do? Princess Selaha. There is news that there are currently several garrisons in the student plaza and the living quarters. If you join that side, you can be a little safer.”

“You’re talking nonsense, Dest. Obama’s safety isn’t secured, so you’re telling me to run away to a safe place?”

Sellaha brushed off her collar and reprimanded Dest.

“Stupid.”

“sorry.”

“I am of the royal family. Even if I have to bleed and die, I must head to the imperial residence. I need to make sure Obama is safe.”

I rode a wagon and came out quite a distance, but it was not so far that I could not return on foot anyway.

The question is whether you can break through the many monsters you will encounter on your way.

The surviving guards are all exhausted, and the butler, Dest, is relatively fine, but there is no way he can deal with all those monsters.

“Something, I’ll have to figure out a way…”

It was the moment when Selaha rested her chin on her head and tried to think.

– Bang! Quagga gag gag!

– Whoaaaaaagh!

At that moment, there was a roar of something falling.

It was the sound of something crashing in the grass on a remote road leading to the professor-dong. It was a position that could be seen right away from Princess Selaha’s party, but a large Archeopteryx-shaped spirit was rolling on the floor in a state of disrepair.

“Cheer, whew!”

From there, Yenika Failover rolls down, holding Ed Rosteyler tightly.

Yenika coughs with scars on Ed’s head, who has lost consciousness. She already looked very tired, but she was still gaining new strength.

Only then did Princess Selaha look up into the sky again. A huge number of flying monsters chasing Ye Nika caught her eye.

Right now, the sky over the island of Aken is almost hellish. It is in the middle of a hundred units, thousands of monsters floating in the sky and attacking people at will.

Yenica Failover had broken through with her blood and blood alone. It was a reckless act, even for a Elementalist who commanded hundreds of spirits.

The wind spirit that had fallen to the ground was barely breathing, full of wounds.

Even in the midst of this, she managed to lift her wings and try to protect Yenika.

“Princess Selaha! Additionally, monsters attack! You must hide in the carriage immediately!”

“I will break the glass! Stay inside the overturned carriage!”

The soldier urgently raised his voice. Certainly, the number of flying monsters that pursued Yenika is unusual.

From giant bats, gremlins, chimeras, and grotesque birds… each one takes on a grotesquely twisted shape. She makes her scare away just by looking at it, but Yenica doesn’t care and holds her head up.

While holding Ed tightly with one hand, he reached out with the other hand in the air.

A spirit in the form of a turtle with a huge shell rises. When he looked at the sky and emitted magic power, the monsters were swept away by a huge wave of light that spread out.

Yenica, who wiped out dozens of monsters at once, bowed her head while breathing heavily.

There was no chase after that, perhaps because it had entered the path full of trees.

After the spirits disappeared one by one, there was only a girl with her head bowed while hugging a boy who had lost consciousness.

“That… thing…”

The soldiers who were watching the scene made dumb faces. He was still a student, judging from the school uniform under his shawl, but he couldn’t believe it.

However, Yenica, who was out of breath as if exhausted from exhaustion… was having a hard time even holding her own body properly. She cradled Ed’s head with her half-tired eyes, she watched her surroundings like a cornered beast.

It was at that point that he met eyes with Princess Selaha.

Princess Selaha lifted her arms to cover the soldiers, and then slowly moved towards Yenika.

Jenika looked at Selaha aggressively as she hugged Ed tightly, like a hedgehog with a lot of thorns.

In the current situation where all order has collapsed, you can’t trust anyone carelessly.

In particular, Princess Selahha has been hostile to Ed for a long time. She is a Yenika who does not easily harbor ill will toward others, but when she has to protect Ed, who has become a wreck, her small threat cannot be taken lightly.

“The man in your arms… is Ed Rosteeler…”

Princess Selaha was also not in a normal state.

He is a person who frowns even with just a drop of grime on his collar, but now he is covered in dirt trying to survive from that limb.

Even so, Princess Selaha spoke arrogantly, as if she had no intention of giving up her lofty figure.

“I don’t know what happened, but you look seriously injured.”

“Don’t come any closer…”

“Don’t come any closer…? Haha… Now that the situation is like this, a thousand things like you are giving me orders. Well, since the order has collapsed like this… It must be a chance for a genius who can match me.”

Princess Selaha laughed as if she was in a state of collapse, but Jenika did not let go of her guard.

“As expected, you were the plaything I saw at the Ross Taylor mansion back then. Unfortunately, do you still harbor fleeting love? Indeed, his skills seem to be great, but… I should have picked a man who suited the subject.”

“…”

“It wouldn’t be very wise to turn against me… Does staring at me make things any better?”

Princess Selahha’s arrogance is still the same, even in the midst of the world collapsing.

The pride that has been firmly kept will never collapse.

“Yes, if I put my mind to it, it won’t be a task for me to do anything alone. Right now, the order of the island of Aken has collapsed, and I don’t have as much power as you. So, will you kill me now? Are you thinking of doing it anyway?”

“To be honest… I like it.”

In the first place, Jenika was not paying any attention to what happened to Princess Selaha.

After a while, Yenika gently closed her eyes, lowered her head, and spoke.

“If we continue like this, Ed will die.”

Ed’s bleeding in his arms is unusual.

Jenika has great power, but she doesn’t have the talent to heal wounds. In this situation where the bachelor is all destroyed, she can’t even figure out where to go to save Ed.

Even if a direction was decided on where to go, it was unclear whether Ed could be brought there intact.

Jenika was shedding tears at some point.

“The princess might not know, but I know because I’ve been by her side for a long time. Even when Ed was pessimistic about her life and was near her death, she held on to her heart and somehow managed to live.”

The venomous wariness that had been shown for the first time had softened a lot before anyone knew it, and even Princess Selaha was slightly taken aback.

“It’s too much for Ed, who has struggled so much, to die like this in vain. Then you can’t.”

As the situation is urgent, it is not possible to let go of both hands and weep while watching the dying Ed.

We have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible and come up with a way to save Ed. That’s why Yenika gritted her teeth and endured it.

However, human emotions are not something that can be controlled at will.

I pursed my lips tightly and pressed down on Ed’s wound to try to stop the bleeding… But even so, tears dripped from his eyes like chicken droppings.

“Even if other people are like that, Ed shouldn’t die in vain like this. For a person who has lived through gritted teeth to survive more than anyone else, to die like this… that’s not okay.”

That’s why Yenika begged. If God is listening, let this man live.

In this wide and wide world, there are many people living like a swarm of ants.

He knows very well that he is not the main character on that huge stage.

Like everyone else, he is just an extra who leaves the world with his story in his heart.

There are many cases in which the efforts that have been made while shedding blood are not rewarded.

It’s not that everything comes true just because you earnestly wish for it.

There are people who get unreasonably many things, and there are people who cannot achieve even a single wish they have wished for all their lives.

Jenika understands better than anyone else that everything in the world is not rational and rational.

Still, a man named Ed Rosteyler is not a person who could die so easily.

Yenika Failover knows very well how profound and weighty the years he struggled to survive were.

If there is a God, that wish should not be ignored. In the first place, this man didn’t even ask for much.

He sat quietly in front of the bonfire night after night, staring blankly at the crackling flames, and repeating himself as if in a whisper.

Tomorrow, I hope you can survive safely.

Every night, wearing pajamas, I sat on my knees behind the door of my cabin… This is Yenika, who listened to Ed’s repetition. She always thought the same thing after hearing Ed repeat it.

It is not a grandiose, lofty wind. It’s just one of those natural wishes that I want to survive and endure tomorrow.

Who in the world could say that that was such a presumptuous and lofty wish.

“Please save Ed.”

He kept his lips shut with determination, but he couldn’t help but feel the tears dripping from his eyes. Nevertheless, Yenika looks straight at Princess Selaha with equal eyes and speaks straight.

“I don’t care if you call me cloth, and I don’t care if you blaspheme the soother. I just… Now I… I don’t know what to do. Everything else doesn’t matter anyway…”

“…”

“Ed please… save me…”

If she became a country’s princess, she might be able to devise other means.

The blood flowing from Ed Rosteylor’s body was soaking Jenika’s school uniform before she knew it. Even so, Yenika didn’t care and held Ed’s head tightly in her arms.

Princess Selahha swallowed dry saliva for a moment and broke out in a cold sweat.

I nodded my head for a moment, then looked at Ed, who was bleeding.

It was the boy who sat across from the table and gave Fenia’s name regardless of how much it was roasted and roasted.

The man, who looked reassuring like a solid rock, can even feel a sense of alienation from the man lying in a state of disrepair.

I feel like I’m seeing a side of me that I couldn’t normally see, and a strange sense of immorality arises. Even this man, who seemed to stand firm no matter what the world might bring, is now bleeding and collapsing in the face of such a crisis.

Maybe… Now… Couldn’t it be this man’s lifesaver?

Even in this situation, he sticks out his tongue at himself who has no choice but to think such a calculating thought, but it is proof that he is maintaining his composure, so he does not feel ashamed.

“Dest!”

When Selaha raised her voice and called the head butler’s name, he quickly jumped out and examined Ed’s body.

When Jenika, who was holding Ed’s face tightly, loosens her grip, his blood-stained face is revealed.

Dest checked his pulse and estimated his wounds and bleeding. Then he furrowed his brow and reported to Selaha.

“There are traces of Aspect magic containing dark red magic all over the body. It seems that you have been fighting against opponents who use the least high-ranking magic. Even simple physical wounds are serious, and if left unattended, they won’t last long.”

When Jenika heard those words, the color on her face disappeared, but Princess Selaha regained her psychological stability by swallowing dry saliva once more.

“From my point of view, whether this man lives or dies… it doesn’t matter anyway!”

First of all, let’s say it like that.

When I looked down at Ed’s bloody face, a feeling of annoyance welled up in my head… But Princess Selaha closed her eyes and opened them, then spoke again with difficulty.

“In addition, it won’t be easy to find medical personnel when the entire school is in a state of mayhem. It seems that the imperial residence is in chaos right now, and there must have been hundreds of casualties whether it was in the student plaza or in the living quarters, so no medical personnel would be left anywhere.”

“…”

“Not only that, but the dragon in the sky is rampaging right now, and the monsters are committing massacres… so they can’t move freely. It’s arrogance to think you’ll get proper treatment for a situation like this. While even I, a member of the royal family, are neglecting the large and small scratches on my body… is it possible to somehow save this man?”

Selaha took a deep breath and, with difficulty, notified Yenika.

“Give up this man’s life! Rather than obsess over useless things, I’d rather…! rather…!”

– Pushik!

At that moment, blood flowed again from the wounds left on Ed’s body.

Most of the power of Aspect Magic ‘Instant Death’ was evaded, but Ed’s body was full of scars from the aftermath. The curse of the dark red magic on his body opened the wound, and blood flowed out again and again.

A drop of blood splattered on Selaha’s face as she looked down at Ed’s condition from up close.

Embarrassed, Princess Selaha looked down with her eyes wide open, then grabbed the opened wound with her bare hands.

Ed’s blood spilled onto the hem of the dress and the sleeves, but it reflexively spurted out of the body.

“What, what are you doing? Without tying up the wound! Do you think it’s all about being blank?!”

“…Ah, what?!”

Yenika is startled and rips off the hem of her skirt. As she did, she quickly wrapped up Ed’s wound, squeezing the bleeding out of her.

Even while watching the dress of the noble royal family, which could not be bought even with ten million gold, stained with dark red blood, Princess Selaha pressed Ed’s wound together with Jenika with a puzzled face.

Dest, who was watching, joined in as well, but Princess Selaha’s arms did not lose strength for some reason.

My heart beats thumping and my pupils dilate in an urgent situation. Still, pressing down on her Ed’s wound, Princess Selah Ha put on a bewildered expression as if she was dumbfounded by her own actions.

The same was true of Jenika, who was watching Selaha.

* Organize the information you have gathered in your clouded mind.

The body is hot as if it is burning because of the bleeding throughout the body, but the thoughts never stop.

To think means to be alive. And if you are alive, you have to think.

Even as I struggled in the pain of the curse, I never let go of my mind.

The moment I gave myself over to my blurred consciousness, even for a moment, the thought that I would never open my eyes again dominated my head.

So, I think. think and think again

How did Sylvania Robester, a person from the distant past, appear in this school building now?

The first possibility that comes to mind is, of course, Aspect Magic.

Aspect magic that has reached its peak gives you the power to handle even time and space as if it were your own.

However, I have never heard of a rumor that there is such a thing as magic that allows you to jump through time and go into the future.

The same goes for my knowledge of games, as well as the knowledge of magic I learned after coming to this world.

However, it wouldn’t be strange if Sylvania Robester, the pioneer of Aspect Magic, discovered magic that transcends time.

Magic that does not end with simply observing the future, but jumps to the future.

If that’s theoretically possible… Then why did Sylvania become afraid of the future itself? If you are afraid of the future, shouldn’t you just skip over that future?

After reaching that point, I can imagine the future that Sylvania saw to some extent.

…Afraid of the dark future that will come someday, it is said that Sylvania has become a madman.

Perhaps, the future observed by Sylvania was a distant darkness with no end in sight…

However, the fear of the darkness… He must have harbored the same in those days.

On the first day of observing the future with Aspect Magic, the fear of the great darkness must have weighed down Sylvania.

However, Sylvania at that time was not engulfed by the horror of darkness.

Rather, the days of struggling to get out of the promised end were longer.

If so, the appearance of Sylvania, which has now completely gone mad, cannot be explained. If Sylvania at that time skipped through time to the present, shouldn’t she remain the same as she did in the past when she tried to fight against the darkness without succumbing to it?

However, Sylvania, who has now occupied the Trix Hall, has been completely consumed by the fear of darkness and has gone mad.

They were shouting that they should all be killed by Velbroke right here and now, rather than facing death writhing in fear forever.

I feel like the middle of the process has been blown up.

Why, has Sylvania gone mad?

Simply, swept away by the unknown madness of Aspect Magic?

Even when she understood Aspect Magic more deeply than anyone else in the world, she struggled to escape from the future of endless darkness. Does it really make sense for her to become a madman so easily?

And, what is her ultimate goal?

If the goal is to really release Valvelock and die together…

So… what is the identity of the chains that are now wrapping around Velbrook?

There are so many questions that remain. There are things that need to be resolved, the truth that is still unseen… there is definitely a lot left.

It tells that a breakthrough can be made.

The fact that something remains that is not fully known suggests the possibility that there may still be an invisible solution.

So, never give up on surviving. Even if a burning pain surges through my whole body, I will never accept death.

This is the last ordeal of a long, long journey. There are only two victory conditions left.

Grabbing the valve lock.

Capturing Great Sage Sylvania.

Even if I leave the former to Taylor… I have to solve the latter entirely on my own.

There were many variations of this and that, but Taily had the minimum strength to cut through Valveroke’s heart.

A member who subdued Velbroke together in the love affair. Ayla, Ziggs, Clevius, Elvira, Lortel, and Fenia.

These six members took on their own roles and were the ones who neatly subdued Velbroke. If at least these six people met the minimum conditions, it would be theoretically possible to solve it somehow.

I’d like to have a few more people stably attached, but given the situation, it’s tight just to meet the minimum conditions. I have no choice but to trust Taylor.

Even if we leave it as it is, we have to think about the last member who will take over Sylvania.

It would be reckless to try to conduct a one-on-one subjugation.

<Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman>, the extras who couldn’t stand on the stage of the final subjugation in the affair… Nevertheless, those with their own strength must be rallied.

A tricky condition is attached that Taylor must gather all the power he can mobilize without affecting the subjugation of Valveroke as much as possible.

It has nothing to do with the main story of <Sylvania’s Fallen Swordsman>.

It has to be the people I was able to create in my life as Ed Rosteyler, who came from my story.

Maybe, what I’ve been living with that struggle… was it for right now.

In such an exquisite situation, a ray of laughter blooms even in the midst of excruciating pain.

Let’s try it once. this f*cking world

As I gritted my teeth and held on to my spirit, little by little, my consciousness began to return.

“Such… the appearance of… but… life…!”

Dimly, I heard the familiar voice of Jenika. As she lifts her heavy eyelids little by little, her bangs, soaked in dark red blood, block her vision.

Her hearing slowly returned, and this time she could hear Princess Selaha’s voice in its entirety.

“It may be difficult to move to the living quarters. First of all, this body has to go to the royal residence! While the imperial residence was completely breached, it is unreasonable to ask them to go elsewhere when they do not even know what happened to the lives of Abamama and Fenia!”

“Well, then… Is there a minimum number of medical personnel in the imperial family’s quarters?”

“If you’re alive… you’re going to be… if you’re alive. In the first place, there is nothing completely guaranteed in this situation! If you want my cooperation, head to the imperial residence too! If the medical personnel are still alive, take responsibility and save this man! I can promise you that!”

Yenika was holding her breath as she listened to Princess Selaha’s words.

At that moment, I sneezed and forced myself out.

“Eh, Ed…! Ed!”

Yenika was startled and lowered her head towards me to check my condition.

I took a deep breath and raised my voice with difficulty.

“Imperial family..accommodation…to the imperial family…go to…”

this was my decision

At those words, Princess Selaha looked down at me with a bright smile.

“As expected, even in a drowsy state, this is a wise decision! did you hear Didn’t you say this man who died so much? It’s right to do what I think! There is nothing more to worry about!”

My mind is in a hazy state, but I heard it clearly.

Now… if what Princess Selaha said was true… I had to act according to her opinion.

“Ed Rosteyler! After all, you admit that I am right! yes, that’s how it should be! Now, take a good look and remember… I will be your lifesaver. You owe it your life, so make sure to remember it!”

“Penia… Nia…”

“…what?”

Fenia Elias Chloe was a member of the minimum requirement to be included in Taily’s Bellbrook subjugation party.

“I have to save Princess Fenia…!”

“also…! Penny…!!!!! I really…!! I can’t live!!!”

While clutching my wound tightly, Princess Selaha screamed as if she was really fed up.

A sudden high-pitched noise made my head throb and throb.
