Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer

24 – Saint vs. Powerful Person (3)

They say they control their strength, but I don’t know how it turned out.

If Beatrice had been hit directly by lightning because the route had changed just one thing, it wouldn’t have been a problem that would end up stinging for a while, though I don’t know.

So, I adjusted the output and direction with a little effort.

Because of that, the activation time of the ability was a little longer than I expected…….

Because of this, compared to before, the burden on my body was relatively large.

I’m not kidding, it really hurt like dying.

‘But it’s true that it’s not the first time, so I can endure it.’

It was something I couldn’t laugh at.

If it’s a good thing, you can definitely say yes.

However, as a result, I just trusted what I had told Beatrice the other day and collapsed. Regardless of intent.

What I do know is that this causal pain is definitely a terrible kind of pain.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I could taste it and get out of it at will, I’d probably be able to seal my abilities permanently by now.

I don’t think I can do that on my own.

‘…… Whoa.’

Anyway, I slowly rose to consciousness.

Even if I don’t have enough energy to stand up right away, I think I’ll be able to come to my senses easily if I lie down a little longer.

Seeing that the accident continues unabated even though consciousness is blurred, it seems that Beatrice took care of it on time.

‘Mmm.’

Still, judging from the tingling in his body, it seemed that he hadn’t fully recovered.

The fortunate thing is that the pain I felt at the time, that is, the burning pain doesn’t seem to remain in my body even after the use of the supernatural power is over.

Anyway, all I wanted was for Beatrice to fully recognize my power in the end.

She didn’t really intend to eliminate her, but also hit her with a comb.

No, even Beatrice wouldn’t have been safe if she had been hit with it in the first place. Is there anything you can do to send one person to the goal?

I just wish.

If possible, through the attack at that time, I hope that Beatrice will properly realize that there is a gap.

No matter how much she passed by, by the time she got there, she would have recognized the power of her electric shock.

As far as I know, Beatrice wasn’t the kind of person who couldn’t accept the results unfolding before her eyes, so her doubts about me would probably fade soon.

That was enough. In return for a moment of pain.

‘Should I wake up soon?’

I erased my thoughts and tried to move my body with difficulty.

First of all, start with your fingertips. I flicked lightly, and fortunately my fingers moved as I wished.

I open my eyes and look at the sky through my slightly blurry vision.

First of all, it seems that the days have passed or that such an unfortunate incident has not occurred.

Once the sky was clear, the place still seemed to be in the forest.

Still, my mind was awakened, and the uncomfortable sensations for a while soon began to return.

‘Oh, Saksinah… ….’

As I said once, the pain had long since disappeared, but it seemed that the swollen body before that was another issue.

I straightened my back and blinked my eyes a couple of times. It was to restore blurry vision.

“…… Huh?”

And, at that point, I was able to see it.

Until a while ago, I was so focused on the brightness of the surrounding scenery and sky that I couldn’t properly recognize it…….

Um.

In other words, Beatrice’s face was strangely cold.

“… ….”

“… ….”

We briefly exchanged glances. I couldn’t understand the situation and blinked my eyes.

Why is Beatrice the first thing I see after waking up?

…… Should I say hello first?

It was then.

“Choose.”

“Yes?”

Beatrice spat out curtly, and I reflexively asked back.

Choose? What?

“Do you want to hit and fall or just fall?”

“… ….”

The tone was still calm, and there was no major change in the pitch of the voice.

I could read a slight feeling of contempt in her expression and eyes.

Move the body that has regained its normal state to some extent. Head up to be exact.

Raise your eyes and look to the right, then to the left.

“Uh… ….”

…… Finally, I turned my head once again to look straight up.

Of course, Beatrice’s cold eyes came into the center of his field of vision.

I was able to realize it naturally. My current posture.

No, if I had to ask, I guessed the posture from the beginning.

Still, I didn’t expect it to feel like this.

The first thing I see when I open my eyes is the sky, so I wondered if I had laid it on the dirt floor.

However, this was an attitude that was far too different from what I had predicted.

I hesitated for a moment, then quietly met Beatrice’s gaze and opened my mouth.

“Knee pillow—.”

Puck!

“Billion.”

And the moment I brought out a word, my lips were slapped. Surprisingly, the delicate fists stabbed from the top to the bottom boasted quite a bit of spiciness.

“No, what… ….”

“Shut up.”

Before she could say anything out of resentment, Beatrice glared at her.

Her eyes were so sharp.

I was intimidated for no reason, so I stood up shyly with my mouth shut.

“If you’re going to be that displeased, why don’t you just lay it on the ground in the first place? It just needs to be treated appropriately.”

After saying that, Beatrice paused for an instant, as if that expression was a bit jarring.

There was a clear disapproval in his eyes as he glared at me.

Still, the expression seems to have softened slightly compared to a moment ago, so I was wondering inwardly.

“…… First of all, I am a patient.”

Add words with a space that is not too long.

“No matter how hard you try, you can’t leave them lying on the cold bare ground.”

I opened my eyes wide at that.

It’s because it was an unexpectedly thoughtful answer.

However, as if my reaction had scratched my insides, Beatrice fired at me one more time with a slightly angry expression.

“…… Even if I look like this, I’m still a saint, right? Do you know how rude that expression is now?”

I scratched my cheek with an embarrassed expression.

“I didn’t mean to offend.”

“You mean your sincerity came out through your expression unintentionally? More shameful.”

Beatrice frowned at him.

After listening to it, I thought that it was definitely more excessive.

I laughed awkwardly, but it seemed that our saintess was already offended to cover it up with laughter.

Beatrice openly turned her head and made a sullen expression.

While contemplating what to say, she decided to thank her for the timely treatment anyway.

“That… ….”

That was the moment she was about to open her mouth.

“Ten minutes.”

Beatrice took out her meaningless words and I couldn’t help but tilt my head at her.

“Yes?”

“It was only about 10 minutes. You fainted.”

“Ah.”

I nodded her head in understanding.

You woke up much earlier than I expected.

But the question didn’t completely go away, so I wondered what was the reason for bringing up this topic out of the blue.

I looked at her, waiting for her Beatrice to continue her words.

At my gaze, Beatrice licked her lips for a moment.

Something seemed hesitant, but of course I couldn’t figure out why.

Is there something you want to say?

But why are you hesitating?

‘I’m trying to make a big request?’

I don’t think that noble saintess would ask for gold coins or something for just one treatment, but I couldn’t think of any other hypotheses.

That was about it.

“…… So peculiar.”

Beatrice opened her mouth again.

The voice that came out like that was so complex that I was taken aback.

“It was an unusually quick recovery. …… It was quite heterogeneous.”

“…… Is that so?”

When I returned an ambiguous response, not something I could really feel, Beatrice similarly robbed her of her seat and stood up, meeting my gaze.

Mysteriously, she couldn’t hide the agitation in her eyes.

“But that’s not the point. The part I was embarrassed about was in a different place than that.”

I didn’t answer, but Beatrice continued her story alone as if it was okay.

It was also the point at which her expression as she looked at me became confused for the first time.

“…… It was difficult to see with the naked eye, but her muscles, bones, and nerve tissue throughout her body were severely damaged. It’s rather surprising that her skin is intact.”

Uncharacteristically stretching her words, Beatrice frowned slightly at her beautiful arms.

“Considering that such traces remained, the pain she must have felt must have far exceeded the normal category… ….”

She pauses, then glances up at me once, and then a subtle, bewildered expression appears on her face.

She spat out her words again, feeling dejected.

“No, how are you still alive? You.”

For me, it was a very difficult word to answer.

I put on a very complex and confused expression that is hard to explain.

“…… Are you cursing that?”

“It’s not like that, it’s because I’m genuinely curious. It’s amazing. Why are you still alive?”

“I think cursing is right.”

“That’s right, isn’t it?”

Beatrice shook her head, but looked once again lost in thought.

The look on her face as she rested her chin on her chin and looked through me as if looking through me was serious.

“No matter how you look at it, the damage wasn’t something I could have endured. Her mental state appears to be intact, her expression is slightly frozen, but there seems to be no problem.”

“It is because of you that your expression is hardened, saintess.”

“There are so many strange things. So is that unusual speed of recovery. No matter how much divine power she blows into it, this is…….”

“No, listen.”
