Chapter 72.4. The First Year at the Academy – A Pledge (4)

Elphimia must have been dimly aware of this.

That's why when she found out that a good alchemist was involved, she said it was Esard, even though she had no proof. She was suspicious from the beginning.

How must it have felt for a 10-year-old girl to go into enemy territory?

She must have had a lot of determination and even more fear than that.

I looked up at the ceiling.

Everything was a guess based on fragmentary information. And it's full of holes.

Councilor Yals Alastair.

He would know the truth.

The ring that Lislia had removed was a magical device of sacred resistance. It's hard to believe that the outlandish undead would go to the trouble of buying it to protect themselves. It was given to her by someone.

The story is – impossible?

He, and the council members, made our beloved Lislia disappear. There was no way they would open up. Besides, the other party was a former A-ranked magician. He may be old, but he is still one of the top wizards who manipulate high-level magic. If he was not treated properly, many people would die.

"By the way, what about you? Are you going back with your grandmother?"Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

She had come to Selene to look for her grandmother.

Even though it was incomplete, it served its purpose.

Clutching the broken necklace, Elphimia shook her head slightly.

"I'll continue to be an academy student. There are monsters like you in the world. It made me realize how immature I am."

"I'm flattered, but I'm immature too. None of them are as good as the best."

"What are you talking about? That's not just first class. That's the stuff of heroes."

Elphimia's face floated in amazement.

"Besides, I came to Selene without telling anyone about my true purpose. If I throw it away in the middle of the road, under any circumstances, I'll be disgracing my father and grandmother's faces."

"I see. A court magician is not much different from a nobleman."

Does the world follow you in any position?

If I had reincarnated as a monster, the world I could see would have been different.

With a light wave of her hand, Elphimia walked away.

I quietly watched her go.

With this, her journey was finally over.

Even without me, she would have arrived at the destination differently.

All that was missing was the determination to get the answer.

I was a nudge. I'm just a supporting player.

But – laying down her life, right?

I hope that day never comes.

The wind blows again, carrying with it the signs and bustle of autumn.

The other side seems to be putting its life on the line for its greed.

"Oraaah, what's up, kids! You're not going to feed us like that!"

I looked to see Ted, Gemma, and Nails working together to challenge Markant.

They had not yet struck a blow.

I stood in the alley and watched.

Ted noticed this and raised his voice.

"Alter, help me!"

"Huh? Wait!, That's a foul!"

Valerie, who had been watching the game, released a wooden sword with a nice smile on her face.

"You, what are you–whoah!"

I jumped over the fence and slashed in a single breath.

Four children swarmed the impatient Markant.

Well, summer vacation is over.

I've been dragged around by Elphimia and hanging out with these guys.

I didn't enjoy the vacation as much as I could have–well, this was fun.
