Chapter 143: Mentor Isaac - Interlude

Mentor Isaac Interlude

I read Whites psychology.

You dont have gel.

I immediately grasped her situation.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

White had spent all of the gel she had and was starving.

Her oath to become more independent and take responsibility for herself likely caused her to push herself too far.

One may ask where she could use so much gel, and the answer would be her training equipment. She has been boasting to me about her new tools, after all.

I know she meant well But this was a little too much.

I never knew bread tasted this good

Inside a dark garden. White and I sat side by side on a bench lit by a street lamp.

She was nibbling on her bread with tears of joy in her eyes. I felt a bit of pity for her.

Did they say theyll stay over there?

I turned to look at a tree out of reach from the street lamps light.

Merlin Astreas golden eyes glowed.

She said that she would keep her distance so she does not become weak-hearted. She told me to overcome my problems on my own

So, she had intentionally widened the distance she stood from White to control herself.

I could understand that. It would be indeed difficult for her to hold back from helping when White was suffering from an empty stomach.

Merlin likely wanted to respect Whites resolve and determination.

For reference, I knew Merlin was over there because she had suddenly bursted out of nowhere just as White was about to eat the bread and stole a bite before leaving again.

She had done that to see if the bread had been poisoned.

Though I understood the situation, seeing her hop in to take a bite and leave without elaborating had still been a little perplexing.

Senior Isaac always seems to be training.

I was holding a magic tool in my right hand to continue circulating my mana. It was a simple training method I used whenever I was jogging or had some leftover time.

White took another mouthful of her bread. Her cheeks puffed up like a hamster storing its food in its mouth.

Nomnom Is there any reason why you work so hard?

Its nice to have good grades, and youre guaranteed to become something in the future. Theres even a sense of accomplishment you get from it. What about you?

Ah. I-its similar to me too! Sense of improvement, yeah, for the sense of improvement!

Is that so?

Whites objective for becoming stronger was to become friends with the Priestess and Saintess. It seemed like she was embarrassed to say that as her goal.

Then why were you starving? You are more than a handful of people willing to give you gel if asked.

An entire line of students existed who wished to become close to White. She was a princess after all.

It wasnt like she didnt know that.

Thats something I dont want to do.

Why?

Because I feel like I will need to repay them. I dont really like those sorts of things. Not just that, but people normally do that to use me to their advantage. Feeling the obligation to repay people like that is terrible.

Ah, right.

White didnt like being indebted to others.

Moreover, she had difficulty trusting those who were kind to her and considered it uncomfortable when they did so. Rather, she thought of them as embezzlers.

There was a valid reason for such trust issues to have rooted inside Whites mind.

She was almost assassinated after all.

White had personally experienced what it was like to have people be kind to her one moment, only to try and assassinate her the next.

Moreover, the person behind that request had been her mother, so the shock a child like her would have felt was unfathomable.

It was natural for her to have trauma.

But even then.

But I dont think starving is a good idea.

Its the result of my wrong decisions. I must handle it myself

What she said was indeed quite mature.

Senior Isaac. I owe you. I am indebted to Senior Isaac now.

White spoke while looking down at her bread.

Debt, she said. White likely had an easier time accepting it that way.

Nomnom Ill definitely repay this debt one day.

Ill be looking for interest, too.

Yes, of course!

White was a character essential for me to reach a happy ending.

It wouldnt hurt me to have a favor over her. This would actually be better for White as well.

Ill need to question him.

Whether it was for the Holloway Family or herself.

What she wanted was a happy future together with Ian Fairytale. Mrchen Academy was a stepping stone for her to achieve that dream.

But last year, demons had constantly visited Mrchen Academy.

On multiple occasions, the Nameless Hero defeated those demons and protected Ian. Moreover, he had even protected herself at the Astrea Duchy.

To repay that favor and to support the archwizard.

Amy wanted to discover the identity of the Nameless Hero

?

So, as she gazed at Isaac for such reasons, Amy had unintentionally taken a glimpse at the colors of Princess Snow Whites heart as well.

Wait, whats that?

Amy?

Amy felt a chill run down her spine and frowned.

Its nothing, lets go~.

Amy patted Ians back and resumed walking.

Ian seemed confused as he followed behind.

When Amy was young, she promised only to use [Hear Color Discernment] when necessary.

Because it caused her view of that person to become biased. She didnt recall a single time where that ended well.

So Amy decided that she hadnt seen the color of the Princesss heart.

She had decided that she was merely the kind-hearted Princess Snow White.

While walking down the path lit with street lamps, Ian asked Amy in an anxious voice,

Im asking this just in case, but you arent interested in Isaac or anything, right?

In which Amy responded with blushed cheeks,

Why, are you jealous?

***

[Meooow. This is Alices message.]

Alices Labyrinth; a space consisting of black and red checkered patterns.

On top of a staircase was the queens extravagant throne, where a plump purple cat in a suit sat. It was Phantom Cat Cheshire.

Standing on either side of the throne were a black rabbit and a white rabbit in suits, who were fanning the Phantom Cat with red fans.

The four paladins stood in line before the Phantom Cat to listen to Alices message.

[A demon from the deep oceans will appear during the joint practical evaluation. The exact location and time of the appearance are unknown.]

The suit that Phantom Cat Cheshire was wearing seemed on the verge of bursting due to the rotundness of its body.

[The Black Monster will come to eliminate the demon. But before that, the Black Monster may also participate in the evaluation. He is, after all, hiding his identity and power for some reason. Anyhow, your objective is to thwart the Black Monsters plans! It would be even better if you guys could reveal the Black Monsters identity!]

When the Phantom Cat raised its paws while shouting, the shirt button near his stomach popped off and exposed his furry stomach.

[Do your best to help the demons defeat the Child of Light and destroy this world! Meoow!]

The male student, Spade, clicked his tongue in disapproval.

The female student, Heart, blushed and smiled.

The male student, Clover, nodded with a fake smile that suited his kind impression.

The female student, Diamond, remained unresponsive.

[Ah, right, and one more message from Alice.]

The Phantom Cat delivered the word calmly, resting its chin on its hand.

[Do not die. You are all Alices valued subordinates, after all~.]

Heavy tension fell upon the room. The four Paladins blinked slowly.

Their opponent was a mysterious archwizard they could not defeat, even with the four of them combined.

They could use 9-star magic, and singlehandedly defeated the Floating Island.

But each Paladin had their resolve to accomplish the queens will, no matter how powerful the enemy.

They folded their left arm behind their waist, placed their right hand over their chest, and bowed forward slightly.

Then, they all chanted simultaneously.

Everything as per the Queens will.

***

Soon after.

The joint practical evaluation had begun.
