chapter 36
Episode 36 – Take it for yourself.
36. Take it for yourself.
A luxurious training ground with fresh grass.
Whoa! Huh!
The three men’s spears cut through the air without stopping.
Wow!
“Your feet are empty.”
“Ah… This one was a bit of a waste.”
“What a waste. “There was no choice, third child.”
The brothers were Aqua, Lotea, and Prua, all male sons of the Hellbridge family.
They have a very close friendship that is rare to find anywhere.
As usual, they were gathered together and practicing spearmanship.
“Did your ancestors cover your head?”
Bah!
“Ahh! “Brother, hit me gently!”
“You should have avoided it well.”
In the midst of arguing and fighting.
Jeobbuk.
At the sound of footsteps, the noisy training hall suddenly became quiet.
The identity of the presence was recognized just by hearing the sound of footsteps.
“Oppas?”
A sweet girl’s voice.
Her brothers immediately threw down her spear and ran to her.
“Celia!”
“What’s going on here!”
“I came here because I wanted to see my brother!”
1St son, 2nd son, 3rd son.
Celia was born late to a family of black men.
She grew up as a golden girl, receiving all kinds of cuteness from her older brothers.
Of course, after I hit puberty, I became overly arrogant like a cat and it bothered them.
From her brothers’ point of view, even though their younger sister behaved harshly, she could not help but be cute.
Celia was disgusted as she saw her brothers rushing towards her.
“I smell sweat!”
“hahahaha, I’m in the middle of training, so there’s nothing I can do…?”
The brothers’ faces froze like stone statues, just as they were smiling.
······ Her younger sister’s outfit was unusual.
“Hmm. How is it······?”
Celia asked, spinning around with a very red face.
Pure white bow blouse.
The gathered skirt with frills at the ends is tied at the waist with a thin belt for a highlight.
Her smooth calves were revealed over appropriately colored ankle boots.
On her head was an expensive hairpin decorated with a deer, and even the faint scent of lily of the valley.
Her brothers were dumbfounded by the complete contrast with Celia, who always looked like a warrior and wore only comfortable clothes.
Isn’t this like a girl dressed up to the nines?
“How do you feel?”
“Ah, ah, no, what is this…”
“···No way?”
“No…?
Even while she was stuttering.
The brothers got goosebumps all over their bodies at the thought of them secretly raising their heads.
Suddenly, the face of the boy staying here passed by.
Celia became frustrated.
I ended up giving them a confirmed kill as they fell into a groggy state.
“Does it look good to a man?”
“””······!!!”””
The brothers all opened their mouths as if their jaws were dropping.

Monday.
Aria came to visit.
And the time when the cadets who failed the final exam return to the academy after receiving treatment and rest.
However, Leon decided to return to the academy after recuperating at the Hellbridge family for about a week.
Of course, the trauma has been healed for a long time after receiving the priest’s healing techniques several times.
This is because the aftereffects of the terrible internal trauma still remained.
As if it wasn’t banned for no reason, the cost of using the dark sword technique of Jecheon Sword Technique was enormous.
Despite the fact that he drank the Hellbridge family’s finest elixirs and potions like water.
The extent to which the mana circuit has not fully recovered.
If I returned to the academy in this state, I would not be able to complete the training.
The exam was over a month away anyway, so there was no need to be so hasty.
‘Billy’s side will be quiet for a while, too.’
No matter how much Billy was an unlucky man, it was not improbable that he suffered one incident after another after experiencing such a major accident.
‘It’s funny to even ask Billy about the probabilities.’
Thinking about Billy’s misfortune, Leon suddenly had a question.
It was clear that this world he was reincarnated in was not just a novel.
For nearly a year.
Leon clearly felt that this was a world made up of living, breathing people.
Not text on the Internet.
This means that it is a world that operates strictly on causal relationships.
If you think about it, what Billy was going through was almost nonsensical.
In terms of probability, I couldn’t even guess how many decimal places it would have to go.
When viewed in a novel, it is not strange for events to occur around the main character, but it is too strange to experience in reality.
It was as if someone was deliberately playing a prank on him.
Pisik.
Leon burst out laughing as his thoughts reached that point.
I think the delusion was a bit excessive.
‘There are people who were struck by lightning seven times and survived.’
Distracted from his thoughts, Leon stood up with a creaking body.
Although I was recuperating, I had no intention of just lying in bed and resting.
‘I’ve already come all the way to the west, so I should go out and wander around a bit.’
Given Leon’s personality, being bored was no different from torture.
After washing up, Leon put his Cheonsae sword on his waist and prepared to go out.
It was then.
“Leon!”
“······?”
Snap!
Celia burst through the door with force.
The hem of her skirt and her hair swayed gently in the excited wind.
“Let’s go out!”
Thinking that the timing was great, Leon willingly nodded her head.
* · * *
Leon left the castle with Celia and entered the city.
Perhaps because it was near the Duke’s Castle, it was a city as prosperous as Elaim.
The main street, with its clean stone floor, was filled with shops, restaurants, and people.
“I’ll show you around. “Where do you want to go?”
Celia, who has lived here all her life, thought confidently.
‘With Aria gone, this is an opportunity.’
At the academy, Aria always sticks next to Leon whenever she gets the chance.
Now was one of the few times when I could spend time alone with Leon.
Celia stayed here because her father strongly insisted that she return to the academy, saying her body was not completely healed.
However.
Leon’s mind was occupied elsewhere.
“Oh…”
Elongated and pointed ears.
White and elastic skin.
Slim body and eye-popping beautiful appearance.
Different race of elves.
The Hellbridge family maintained an amicable relationship with the elves of the Great Forest, so they were seen often when they came to the west.
Leon, who had been a fan of fantasy novels in his previous life, watched them with great interest.
Elves were also one of the beings he wanted to see when he came to this world.
“Wow, it sure is pretty.”
Leon muttered softly.
I wonder if an elf is indeed an elf, as all the female elves passing by had outstanding beauty.
But they don’t all look alike, and each has a different charm…
Wow!
“Ahh!”
His thoughts were interrupted by a strong pain stabbing his side.
Leon looked back at Celia with a devastated face.
“Why are you hitting me all of a sudden??”
“······.”
Her purple eyes were cold.
“Leon, do you think you are very interested in elves?”
“······Why is that?”
I am interested.
Leon scratched his head in confusion.
“······Is that so? Well, I guess so. “All men like elves.”
“······.”
Leon, who was about to spit out something, closed his mouth tightly.
His instincts were warning him to stay still for now.
“What about me?”
Celia, who was looking at Leon, asked.
“What- um.”
Leon stopped asking and took a quick look at Celia.
Cheeks slightly flushed.
Clothing that emphasizes a feminine side, unlike usual wearing comfortable pants and shirts.
The smell of perfume and soap tickles the tip of your nose.
‘······It’s pretty?’
Because her original body was excellent, even objectively, her well-dressed appearance was beautiful.
However, Leon did not say what he was thinking.
No matter what anyone says, Celia is a heavenly warrior.
She knew that she had great pride in her martial arts, so it was clear that she would be offended if I told her that she looked like a pretty girl.
‘Hmm.’
Leon chose an answer she would like.
“I think I’ll be really good at fighting.”
“······What?”
He smiled brightly and raised his eyebrows.
“Hey, I think you’re really good at handling spears, right?”
“······.”
Celia cupped her face with both hands at the sight of Leon proudly saying such things.
······Thinking that there is a long way to go.
“I am.”
Her fiery voice came out through Celia’s hands covering her face.
“Huh?”
“Do you think I’m going to give up?”
“···What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Just wait and see. “I will never lose to that big-breasted b*tch.”
“·······???”
It was a moment when Celia’s temperament of not giving up in her fight was activated once again.

Snap!
The door to Locke’s office swung open without the slightest warning.
“······.”
However, Locke, who knew the identity of the uninvited guest, did not blame his opponent for his rudeness.
He greeted the woman who came inside without hesitation with a somber look in his eyes.
“Duke.”
The woman who burst through her door spoke with a bizarre smile on her lips.
“Please understand that I will be going to this observation meeting.”
“······.”
Locke, who was looking at the woman with clear eyes, soon made her sigh and nod her head.
“······Do it like that.”
Tap, step, step.
Because it was a notification, not a request.
The woman had already turned and left her room without even hearing her answer.
“Not yet.”
Loke spoke softly into the back of her head.
“Are your thoughts still the same?”
At his words coming from behind my back.
“······.”
Tall.
The woman’s body stopped as she placed her hand on the doorknob.
Bam!!!
—Locke’s desk shook violently.
Documents and broken pieces of wood flew into the air.
In a split second, the woman who came running was slamming both her hands on her desk.
“Hey!”
Her upper body slowly tilted forward.
She put her face in front of Locke and muttered as if she was chewing.
“Hey, I don’t need a family name, so you can keep it yourself.”
The luster shined in her dark red eyes.
The corners of her twisted, upturned mouth were twitching slightly.
“It’s something I worked so hard to protect, so I have to keep it for a long time, right? Huh?”
Anger and hatred.
And then, a deadly force that seemed to pierce her body poured down on Locke.
“······.”
He could only look at her with her girlish attitude.
“······.”
“······.”
A few seconds of silence passed.
Poof! Tap, tap, tap!
The woman turned her back and walked away.
The office has become quiet.
Only the desk with scattered documents and deep hand prints remained in place.
“······.”
Lock, left alone, slowly closed his eyes.
Parr.
Like a light in front of the wind.
His eyelashes trembled wildly, as if representing his disturbed mind.

Like that.
Time passes quickly.
Determines El Prime Academy’s first semester grades at once.
The evaluation exam is just around the corner.
