3.
Shortly after hearing the news of the arrival of Eloden’s delegation, Ulan and Noah arrived at the location where they were said to be currently staying.
Some time after that.
Noah’s eyes widened at the unfolding scene.
“Wow, there are more people than I thought.”
I thought there would have been at most a few dozen people gathered, but even counting the students who were immediately in sight, there seemed to be over a hundred.
It seems that not only freshmen, but also second and third years heard the rumor and came to see the place.
Meanwhile, Ulan tilted his head.
“I don’t understand.”
“What?”
“It’s just a different academy, we’re all the same students anyway, so is there any reason to come all the way to see it?”
Ulan has a justification and reason for coming to see a colleague from his past life. On the other hand, there is nothing like that for the students currently gathered.
If that was the case, it meant that there was a special reason to come and see it, but it was completely incomprehensible to Ulan’s common sense.
“As I said before, Eloden Academy is very closed. So, I guess I’m thinking of taking this opportunity to take a look.”
Then Noah answered the question.
Of course, this is only a superficial reason.
If we consider the specifics, there is another reason why students flock there.
“Also, probably half of the boys and half of the girls gathered here have different purposes.”
“Another purpose?”
“Yes, you heard it on the way here earlier, right? “There is an incredibly pretty girl and a handsome boy.”
Come to think of it, I heard something similar.
However, there is one thing I still don’t understand. Ulan frowned and asked back.
“We’re gathering like this for just that reason?”
“At best. “There is nothing that could be a more topic of discussion among energetic students.”
Noah answered assertively.
As if speaking the absolute truth.
Ulan still didn’t understand, but he didn’t bother to ask. This was because he heard a familiar voice in the crowd.
“Ah, Ulan!”
A girl with wide-open turquoise eyes.
It was Ibella. She must have just finished a lecture, and was holding a thick textbook on swordsmanship.
“Is Noah also there? “What are you two doing here?”
“I came here because I wanted to check something briefly.”
“huh? check?”
“It’s nothing special, I heard that a delegation from Eloden Academy had arrived, so I came to take a look.”
“Oh, I see. “For some reason, there were a lot of people.”
Ibella nodded.
As if he finally understood the situation. Then the topic soon changed to something else.
“More than that, Ulan.”
“hmm?”
“Are you going to train tonight too?”
“I think so.”
After entering Arsene Academy.
Unless something special happened, Ulan repeated training every morning and evening.
Just as an ax doesn’t rust if you swing it often, I thought that your body needs to keep moving to keep it from becoming dull.
“really? “Then can I join you?”
“Training?”
“Ugh, more specifically, I’d like to ask you to spar. “I need to review the swordsmanship I learned today, and it will be easier if I have someone to spar with.”
“i get it. Let’s do it together.”
Ulan nodded willingly.
Ibella did not hide her happy smile.
Meanwhile, Noah, who had been quietly watching the conversation, grabbed Ibella by the collar.
“Hey, but are you okay?”
“huh? what?”
“As far as I know, Delia is also coming to Ulan’s evening training today… … .”
Delia Arpen.
The moment that name was mentioned, Ibella’s face hardened slightly. But for a moment, she shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“are you okay. “Because he’s a wizard.”
“What does it matter… … .”
“Of course it matters.”
Ibella grinned.
“Because I have a good cause called sparring. So, if I monopolize Ulan first, it will be easily resolved, right?”
“… … .”
Flames soared in his turquoise eyes.
A look of strong determination that Ulan will never be taken away. Noah saw this and shut her mouth.
‘Maybe it was fifteen days ago?’
Ever since I went out on a date with Ulan.
Ibella’s attitude toward him became much more positive than before.

It is basic not to hide your fondness for Ulan, and like just now, you have decided to increase the time you spend together whenever the opportunity arises.
‘and… … .’
As a result, the relationship between Ibella and Delia developed naturally. That would be natural. Because they both had a crush on Ulan.
‘A change that never happened in the original.’
Even Noah couldn’t predict what kind of future this change in relationship would lead to. I just hope it doesn’t cause any disruption to the hero’s party.
At the time I was praying in my mind like that.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the head of the crowd.
“Oh, look over there!”
“It’s coming out now!”
There was no need to ask what was coming. Because there was only one reason why the students gathered here.
Jump, jump, jump!
The sound of sharp footsteps was heard from the side of the building.
After a while, a series of groups appeared.
Thirty men and women wearing pure white cloaks. They were students from Eloden Academy.
However, there was one thing that was puzzling.
“huh? But why are you so blunt?”
The thirty students had something in common.
All of them are expressionless. There was not the slightest smile on their faces, and they did not even look at the place where the crowd of students had formed.
A reaction as dry as wood.
At that time, some students pretended to know.
“Isn’t it because of Eloden’s school rules?”
“Eh? “What do you mean by school rules?”
“At first glance, I heard that humility and restraint are virtues. “Maybe that’s why it’s like that?”
“Hey, anyway, that’s a bit… … .”
At a time when everyone was making guesses.
Suddenly everyone stopped talking.
“… … .”
No one was quick to say anything.
Everyone just stares at the same place, with their mouths slightly open.
Where these students’ eyes were directed, there was a female student wearing a pure white veil.
Shiny turquoise hair.
A curvy and voluptuous body that cannot be hidden even behind a neat uniform. A girl who exudes a mature yet neat and mysterious atmosphere.
‘Saint Laurea.’
The moment I recognized her identity.
Ulan’s eyes were filled with longing.
To be honest, Ulan did not get along very well with Laurea. Because from the first time I met her, she looked at me like I loathed her.
So Ulan didn’t like her either.
It was natural. There’s no way you can have feelings for someone who immediately shows hostility upon meeting you.
‘but… … .’
After spending a lot of time with Laurea, Uhlan learned the reason and the inside story of her dislike for him.
Conversely, Laurea also acknowledged that there were misunderstandings and prejudices against Uhlan.
As a result, the two shook off their resentment and became closer. As they began to understand each other’s circumstances and circumstances, they began to respect each other.
‘Of course, we didn’t become completely close friends.’
At a time when my relationship with Laurea was just improving.
The warrior party fell into a trap set by the giant king Largtan. Ulan remained alone to save his comrades, and met the end of his past life.
‘I miss those days.’
Perhaps because they were colleagues who parted ways just as they were about to become friends, Ulan’s eyes as he looked at Laurea were full of vague emotions.
Noah, on the other hand, was different.
As soon as she spotted Laurea, she blinked faster than anyone else.
It was to check the status window.
[Name]: Laurea Lo Charpel
[Age]: 19 years old
[Grade]: SSS
[Attribute]: Agent of God
Saint Laurea.
She is by far the highest level of the seven warriors. She ranks one level higher than Ulan, the pinnacle of the warrior class.
There was a reason for everything.
‘That’s because he’s an indispensable hero.’
Of course, other heroes are indispensable named characters. However, the saint was especially special among them.
Because only Laurea can help the warriors recover and purify the poison.
‘The treatment itself can also be done by a bard.’
Perticia, the bard of the warrior party.
As a mixed race of human and spirit, she can borrow the power of the spirit to help her recover.
However, this simply stops the bleeding or heals the wound. There was no power to put the cut off body parts back together.
‘Laurea, on the other hand, is different.’
She possesses tremendous divine power.
She is a saint so powerful that there is no precedent in the history of the Holy Kingdom.
So even if a finger, as well as an arm or leg were torn off, it had an incredible healing power that could be reattached in an instant.
‘In other words, he is the only healer in the party.’
Even considering all the names in the original work.
When it comes to healing and purifying power, there is no one that can match Laurea. And one more thing, Laurea has some special abilities.
When I was trying to remember this in silence.
“… … !”
Suddenly Noah’s eyes widened.
I made eye contact with Laurea for an instant as I squeezed through the large crowd of people. Afterwards, Noah felt a shiver run down his spine.
Because the moment I looked into her eyes.
It was because I had the illusion that everything I had hidden deep inside my heart had been revealed.
‘… … No, it’s not an illusion.’
Noah shook his head vigorously.
This is one of Laurea’s special abilities.
‘Projection eye.’
Eyes that penetrate the essence.
If you look at the effect alone, it is a similar ability to the mind’s eye.
Just by making eye contact with an object, you have the power to see their goodness, evil, tendencies, and even their essence.
So I quickly looked away.
If I keep making eye contact, I feel like not only Noah Darshen but also Yu Min-ah’s memories and existence will be revealed.
Meanwhile, around that time.
When Ulan was looking at Laurea and reminiscing about his past life, he suddenly felt a stinging gaze.
It feels like someone is staring at me.
Ulan reflexively turned his head. Then there was a nostalgic face there too.
‘Ian Marcus.’
The saint’s guard and the strongest paladin.
He is a reliable colleague who occasionally served as the party’s vanguard along with Ulan. In terms of military force, he is also a strong man with skills on par with Ulan.
‘You’re wary of me.’
The proof is that you don’t take your hand off the hilt of the sword.
It seems that they instinctively recognized Ulan’s power and presence and judged him to be a danger.
That’s when I made eye contact with Ian.
Suddenly something unexpected happened.
“what? wait for a sec.”
“That girl with the veil on?”
“Doesn’t it feel like it’s coming this way?”
“huh? Come to think of it… … .”
The students were agitated for a moment.
Their guess was true.
This is because Laurea, who was at the center of the delegation, suddenly approached the crowded place.
Let’s go!
She walks quietly.
The bustling crowd split as if the sea was split in two. It was because I felt a presence that was somehow untouchable.
Some time after that.
The light footsteps stopped.
“hello.”
The place she arrived was in front of Ulan and Noah.
Laurea smiled brightly and greeted me.
“My name is Laurea Law Charpel, and I am a second-year student belonging to the delegation of Eloden Academy.”
Right after the sudden introduction.
Most eyes turned to Ulan and Noah.
A look filled with curiosity, jealousy, and envy, as well as questions about why he suddenly spoke to me.
Around the time I received this all at once.
“Could you please tell me your name?”
Laurea spoke again.
Noah shouted in a very nervous tone.
“No, I’m Noah Darshen!”
“It’s Ulan.”
“Ulan?”
The moment I heard Ulan’s name.
Laurea’s eyes widened slightly.
After a while, she smiled strangely. As if she remembered something she had forgotten.
“okay. you… … .”
“Seniors.”
However, the conversation did not continue.
It was because of Ian who followed her.
“If you suddenly run out, you’ll be in trouble.”
“sorry. I wanted to say hello to the students at Arsene Academy. “We will be interacting together for the next 15 days.”
It’s a trivial reason for leaving the group.
But no one had any doubts.
Most of the students were half mesmerized by Laurea’s clear voice.
“So everyone.”
After taking a quick look around the surrounding area.
Laurea lightly held on to the hem of her skirt.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
A greeting with a bright smile.
As soon as her lips closed, the students introduced themselves without anyone taking the lead.
“Well, thank you!”
“My name is Melion!”
“This is Jurden from second year class 1! If you want guidance on the school, just give me a call anytime!”
“Former Count Lapieta family… … !”
Did you think it was an opportunity to become friends?
Arsene’s students each revealed their names and affiliations, hoping to attract Laurea’s attention.
But most of them couldn’t make eye contact with her. It was for a similar reason as when Noah turned his attention to her earlier.
On the other hand, Ulan was different.
From the moment Laurea was introduced until now, he has not taken his eyes off her.
“I said Ulan, right?”
“okay.”
“Did I get something on my face? “I just wanted you to keep looking at me.”
A burdensome look that continues all the time.
Laurea asked, smiling awkwardly. Ulan responded as if he had been waiting.
“You look pretty tired.”
“Ahaha, actually, I’m a little tired. “Because of the schedule, we started the forced march in the morning.”
She answers by scratching her cheek.
Then a surprise question followed.
“Did you drink too much yesterday?”
“… … yes?”
“Because my eyes are tired from a hangover.”
At that moment, Laurea’s composure was broken.
Eyes shaking like a torrent.
At that time, when I was panicking like a child who had been caught hiding something, a loud shout was suddenly heard from Eloden’s delegation.
“What nonsense is that all of a sudden!”
Student council president, Teron Schlagen.
Led by him, the students of Eloden Academy crumpled their faces. Then he glared at Ulan and shouted in an angry tone.
“Do you know who this person is?”
“Laurea is a drinker!”
“How dare you say such insulting words… … !”
“Even if there are two heavens, there is no way that would happen!”
Students who do not hide their unpleasant feelings.
When a strong negative answer came back.
“Puhup!”
Suddenly I heard laughter.
It was Ian’s laugh. He shook his shoulders and held back his laughter, wondering what was so funny.
But this reaction did not last long.
This was because Laurea suddenly stretched out her hand and strongly pinched Ian’s side.
Meanwhile, Ulan, watching this scene, once again recalled memories of his past life.
‘Laurea was particularly fond of alcohol.’
When I have dinner with my colleagues, I almost don’t eat unless I drink alcohol.
That’s how much I drank every day, and I often suffered from hangovers in the morning or during the day after drinking too much.
‘Of course, it wasn’t obvious on the outside.’
Perhaps thanks to her meticulous self-management personality, Laurea rarely showed signs of weakness.
Still, like the seven warriors, I was able to recognize colleagues who had been together for a long time just by looking at them.
Did she drink moderately or excessively yesterday? And now, her eyes looked like she had drank too much the day before.
So Ulan spoke as if giving advice.
“The fruit of the red ear tree is good for hangovers.”
“Boo, red…” … what?”
“Red ear tree. There are many in the eastern forest. If you have time, stop by and try it. “It will help.”
Ulan spits out words as if he were throwing them away.
It was a time when Laurea was quite embarrassed.
Teron, who had been far away, came closer.
“… … Lady Laurea.”
“yes?”
“It’s good to interact with students, but I think I need to move on now.”
Eloden’s delegation has a schedule.
Laurea recalled this and nodded as if she understood. Then she looked at Ulan, Noah, and the students and smiled.
“I would like to talk to many people, but I have a schedule, so please excuse me first. “I look forward to seeing you again in the future.”
End with a polite greeting until the end.
Laurea and the delegation left.
As I was watching them getting further and further away, someone suddenly poked me in the waist.
“… … Ulan.”
It was Ibella.
With a sullen expression on her face, she pointed at Laurea, who was now completely distant.
“Do you know that girl by any chance?”
“Oh, of course I don’t know.”
The answer came back from Noah.
“Ulan has never been anywhere near the Holy Kingdom, let alone Eloden Academy. “This is the first time since I came to the academy that I have left the grassland in the first place.”
“yes? “I guess it was just a mistake.”
“huh? “What illusion?”
“I had an uneasy feeling because I felt like there would be more new competitors.”
“… … .”
“Hehe, but if not, it’s okay.”
Ibella laughed brightly.
Noah, on the other hand, couldn’t laugh at all.
It was because of her guess.
‘what? ‘Why have you become so perceptive?’
Looking at the coupling in the original work, there is a possibility that Ulan and the saint may also be connected.
Of course, the possibility itself is very low.
Still, the fact that I instinctively recognized this was both surprising and scary.
“Let’s go back, we have to eat and train.”
On the other hand, Ulan, whether he knew it or not, walked forward while talking with Ibella.
The day came to an end when the student delegation from Eloden Academy arrived.
Chapter 25. I’m here to tell you good things.
