Bullied but Popular

22 – Aslan Assassin

Aaron said as he drew his sword.

“I was bored, but it worked out.”

“…Aaron, be on your guard.”

When Aren cautioned him, Aaron frowned and said.

“Do you think I’ll lose to an assassin like that?”

As soon as Aaron finished speaking, the assassin fired a dagger at Aren, more precisely at Lirina behind him.

Whiik Kang!

When Aren blocked the dagger, the assassin ran and brandished the dagger without hesitation.

‘too fast!’

Aren tried to block it with his sword, but the assassin’s attack speed was unusual.

In an instant, Aren, who was wounded all over his body, took a step back, then Aaron rushed at him.

“Am I a dog?”

Aaron launched a surprise attack from the side, but the assassin, as expected, lightly dodged and kicked Aaron away.

Cuckoo! Kwa Gang!

Aaron destroyed the tent and disappeared.

“Aaron?!”

Amy exclaims in surprise when Aaron is taken so easily.

The assassin paid no attention to that and once again rushed towards Lirina.

Of course, Aren did not stand still.

“…!?”

As the assassin’s dagger sliced through the air, he hesitated for a moment as if embarrassed.

Aiming for that gap, Aren swung his sword.

Love liquid!

“…!”

As the speedy quicksword, which was unbelievable for an expert sword, approached, even the assassin could not respond and allowed the attack for the first time.

“All, you!”

As the assassin’s mask was ripped by Aren’s sword, Lilina, who saw his face, shouted like a flagship.

Aren asked her.

“Do you know him?”

“… Yes, I am Aslan’s warrior.”

The assassin opened his mouth at Lirina’s words.

“… It’s been a while. Princess.”

“… What the hell… Why! Why do you keep targeting me! I renounced the right to succeed to the throne!”

“That’s not for you to judge.”

“Vine…”

Lirina cried out the assassin’s name, but Baine ignored it and let out a killing blow.

“I’m sorry, but Princess, you must die.”

“… uhhh…”

In the end, Lirina couldn’t hold back her tears and shed tears.

‘What did I do so wrong?’

Lilina has been favored by the King since she was a child.

The reason is that her mother and King Aslan truly loved each other.

However, Lirina’s mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her.

Perhaps because of that, all of King Aslan’s affections were focused on her daughter, Lilina, and this became poison to Lilina.

The kingdom of Aslan was a country that recognized polygamy, and thanks to that, Lirina, who had many brothers, always had to be jealous and envious of her brothers.

It would be a lie if he said that Lirina, who was favored by the king at a time when he was already sensitive about the issue of succession to the throne, did not bother him.

Besides, Lirina had no one other than the king who could protect her since her mother passed away.

No matter how favored the king was, his eyes were not always looking at Lirina, so she always had to be bullied by her brothers.

In the end, tired of being bullied by her brothers, when she realized that she had magical talents, she fled to the distant kingdom of Iggent to study abroad.

However, her brothers saw this as an opportunity and tried various assassination plans like now.

‘This is it…’

The assassin in front of him was one of the Black Sand Warriors under the direct control of the royal palace, and was on a different level from the assassins so far.

It’s probably hard to avoid death this time.

‘But the others don’t matter.’

As if she had made up her mind soon, Lirina stepped forward, pulling Aren who was blocking her path.

“Baine, I have one last request.”

“…listen and see.”

“Other students, please close your eyes.”

“That must be a bit difficult. Having witnesses makes it difficult for me too.”

“Please! These people have nothing to do with us!”

“…Go in peace, Princess.”

‘ah.’

As Baine swung his sword as if he could no longer listen, Lirina had a premonition of her own death.

‘This is how it ends…’

At that moment, a light flashed behind Lirina.

“Keugh!?”

A slash that curved like a snake passed by Lirina and cut through Baine’s chest.

‘what?’

Baine glared at Aren behind Lirina.

To be precise, he glared at Aren’s sword.

‘Mana sword…’

Even in Aslan’s technique, there was no skill that could be used for long-range attacks with the mana sword.

However, when a student from Bollywood showed a new, highly difficult technique, he naturally became wary.

“Aren!?”

Lilina called out to Aren as if surprised, but he did not answer and only glared at Bain.

Then the broken tent bursts into flames.

Kwaaang!

“Aren Difus.”

Aaron glanced at him as he came out of the tent and called out to him.

Aaron growls.

“Don’t step out, I’ll kill that bastard.”

“No, that doesn’t work.”

Aren immediately retorted.

“It’s a chance to earn a shop. I’m sure I’m going to kill it.”

This time Aaron refutes it.

“What bullsh*t are you talking about again?”

“That guy is an assassin, in other words, a monster-like guy.”

Aren chuckled at the assassin and said.

“If you pick a head here and take it, you might be able to get a mithril sword.”

“……”

“……”

The moment Aren finished speaking, everyone in the seat looked at Aren like a madman.

‘That guy isn’t normal either.’

‘How did we come after these guys…’

‘Did I fool around with a guy like that?’

‘There’s one more crazy guy.’

‘……’

It was Kenix and Atom, Yubar and Amy’s thoughts in turn.

Lirina was staring at the bay with an expression of fascination at Aren’s words.

“Cheack madman.”

“I don’t want to hear anything from you.”

Aaron laughed lightly as if he liked Aren’s words even as he cursed.

Then, when Ignis was ignited, Aren also used the shore.

“If you interfere, I’ll cut you first.”

“Nothing like that.”

“……”

Aaron and Aren rushed at Bain.

“Karl~ These are all baked.”

“Huh? Carol, what is this?”

Group 1, to which Carol belonged, was camping near the river.

‘sh*t.’

It was Carol and Luke’s nighttime.

However, the two female students from the Magic Engineering Department, who were organized in the same group, came out of the tent out of their order and did not fall apart from Carol’s side.

In front of his eyes, the two girls were acting cute only to Carol, which made Luke feel very bad.

“Are you guys going to sleep?”

At Luke’s words, the two female students send cold eyes.

“Do we know how to sleep?”

“What do you care?”

“……”

It was a world apart from her attitude toward Carol until now.

Luke’s expression crumples at the cold voices of the female students.

‘What is this…’

Even though he’s not on the ugly side, he feels the reaction of the female students so cold when he’s next to Carol.

As if Carol had intuitively sensed Luke’s feelings, she immediately changed the subject.

“By the way, what happened to Article 8?”

“8 trillion?”

“Aren and Aaron.”

“Oh~”

That was what Luke was curious about too.

In fact, Karl and Tia, the other one, had an opinion on what Aren would be like.

Naturally, Luke was against it and quickly brought his friend and put him in the group.

As a result, Aren was in the same group as Aaron, and frankly, Luke was curious about how the two would get along.

“It’s good if we don’t swing swords at each other.”

As Luke smiled and said, the female students around Carol asked Carol curiously.

“Why are you swinging the knife?”

“Are you two on bad terms?”

‘I said it, but why are you asking Carol…’

I’m sad that I can’t make a friend with Car.

Luke was sullen when he suddenly heard a faint vibration from the ground.

…… Kung ………… Koo

“for a moment.”

“… What is this sound?”

Carol and Luke could feel the vibrations from the ground coming from quite a distance.

“What, what?”

“Carl, carr.”

The girls in the Engineering Department were attached to Carol as if they were scared, but now wasn’t the time.

“Go and wake the kids.”

“I’m already awake.”

As Tia came out of the tent and said, the other members of the group started to come out after that.

“Do you know what a car is?”

“…still figuring it out.”

“Mate.”

Tia said to Mate, who was in the same group.

“What is detected in your artifact?”

“No, it sounds like it’s coming from far away?”

As Mate spoke while fiddling with the strange device, Tia nodded and turned her gaze back to Carol.

“What should I do?”

“I can’t stay still like this, so scout…”

While Carol was talking, Mate shouted.

“Something caught!”

“Which direction?”

“this way.”

When Mate points to one side of the bush, Carol says.

“All ready for battle.”

At Carol’s words, everyone in the crew took out their weapons and began to inject mana into them.

rustle rustle

“Ugh… Ugh…”

“Wait… go with me…”

‘Someone is coming!’

Carol was a little relieved when she heard a human voice from beyond the bush, but did not let her guard down.

After a while, a human figure appeared beyond the bush.

“Heh heck Carol!?”

“Yubar?”

The people who came out from beyond the bush were Yubar and a male student who seemed to be from the Magic Engineering Department.

“Atom?”

“What are you doing here?”

Two female students from the Engineering Department call a male student as if they knew each other.

Then Yubar shouted.

“Gee, now is not the time! Did you guys see the professor!?”

Tia said with a wrinkled expression at Yubar’s loud voice.

“Don’t be loud. Explain calmly.”

“No! Now is the time…!”

“Yubar.”

While Yubar was talking, Carol spoke in a soft yet strong voice.

“It’s okay, so be quiet.”

“Ugh… an assassin appeared!”

“… what do you mean all of a sudden?”

“I mean Aslan!”

“…!”

‘Aslan!’

The image of Lilina appeared in the minds of Group 1.

They also knew about Lilina’s background.

“Uh, what should I do?”

“What should I do to run away!”

“Yeah, if you tell the professors…”

Yubar’s remarks made the crew restless as if they were in a panic.

“Everybody calm down.”

When Carol breathed mana into her voice and spoke, the students became quiet as if they were panicking.

Looking at those students, he said.

“Don’t worry. If it’s this much of a commotion, the professors must have already heard about it, and I’ll protect you if it ever happens.”

As Carol spoke forcefully, the members of the crew began to calm down little by little, probably feeling relieved.

In particular, the girls were busy praising Carol without understanding the situation.

Then Tia asked Yubar.

“Wait, Yubar, then how are you here?”

“That, that’s…”

As Yubar sighed, Tia breathed life.

“Don’t you speak quickly? Are you…”

“I’ll tell you.”

At that time, the still gasping Atom spoke.

“Now the assassins are fighting Aren and Aaron.”

“what!?”

Tia made a surprised expression at Atom’s words and shouted.

“Then you guys abandoned the two of them and ran away!?”

“… no that’s not it.”

Atom clenched his fists in anger.

“We couldn’t intervene at our level, we would have been held hostage or interfered if we were nearby…”

“……”

“So I thought I’d rather go around and ask for help or find a professor.”

“…then those two…”

“…still fighting.”

At that moment there was a flash of light in the sky.

aaa!!!

“Ah ah ah ah!”

“what!?”

“#@$%@@^&????”

The students screamed as if startled by the sudden roar.

On the other hand, Carol, Tia, and Luke were staring blankly at the sky, to be precise, at the mountain located on the outskirts of the island.

“……”

“……”

Tia and Luke were remembering what Carol said the other day.

(If you use Aren’s technique while using an aura, you can cut mountains.)

The mountain was cracking and collapsing.

Koo Goo Goo! cooong! Kugu Palace!

thump thump thump

‘I really love it.’

He hadn’t seen who cut it yet, but Carol was convinced that it was Aren who cut that mountain.

‘calm down!’

Carol suppressed her rapidly beating heart and fighting spirit and said to Yubar, who was staring at the mountain in a daze.

“Where is Aren?”

Carol’s face was mixed with joy and fighting spirit.
