I Became a Munchkin Spirit Sorcerer at the Academy

10 – Duel – 3

A storm swept through.

As if a cold chill had descended on their bodies, Orphee and Shelly just stood there and watched the place where Harvey had disappeared.

Celie is filled with anger, and Orpedo senses an alien energy.

The last words Harvey spoke were so strange and different from the Harvey I had seen so far.

They were silent for a while.

“…is that Harvey? That?”

The first person to speak was Sally.

Her voice was always full of confidence, but this time, there was a hint of trembling in her voice.

And the body that hasn’t moved since before.

After repeated arduous training, Sally’s body surpassed the strength of an ordinary person, but she was unable to do anything in front of something Harvey had put on her.

I trained my body just for this moment, just for this moment.

Even when that moment came, he was helplessly defeated again.

Like when I was a child and couldn’t do anything.

“…You’re right, brother, but…there’s a certain atmosphere.”

And Orphée was also feeling what Celie felt.

The look, voice, and tone were clearly Harvey’s, but the vibe he gave off was different.

At that time, Harvey was so emotional that it was easy for others to recognize him at a glance. How did he feel when we just met?

“…I don’t know anything.”

Like light sucked into darkness.

Orphée wondered what Harvey was thinking and what emotions he was experiencing.

I had no idea.

Wizards usually have excellent observation skills.

Understanding things, looking at and realizing the logic built into them, and reconstructing the truth to create a miracle.

That was the essence of wizards.

However, Harvey did not even give Orphée a chance to observe.

It was as if he was saying that you weren’t ready yet.

Slurp.

As time passed, the curse that bound Shelly began to be lifted.

When the curse that bound my body was lifted, the tense muscles began to work properly.

Only then was Celie able to regain her body’s freedom.

Tap, tap, tap.

As the tense muscles and bones were released, the joints screamed as if they were happy to regain their freedom.

“I can finally move now.”

Celie twirling her arms and checking her body.

Shelly was checking her body thoroughly in case Harvey had done something to her.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Sally’s body.

“Uh..it’s a leg.”

Even though I used all my strength, my body couldn’t move as I wanted, so I ended up with a little cramp in my leg.

“..could not disband.”

” what? “

“I couldn’t dismantle the spell on you.”

” ..what? “

Sally looks at Orphee, startled by his words.

Orphee was already recognized by the Artur family for her magical talent.

Even the elders of Artur, who are known for their strictness, acknowledge Orphée’s magical talent.

Even though they pointed fingers at him for being of low blood, they were probably worried that Orphee would leave the Arthur family.

Now, Orphée was being treated like a human being.

Orphée’s magical talent is recognized by everyone, regardless of social status or bloodline.

However, Orphée was unable to dismantle Harvey’s binding magic.

“That can’t be…what does that mean?”

Celie asked a question to Orphée, who frowned cautiously and smiled slightly.

It was so unfamiliar to see Orphee, who was able to accomplish everything with ease, that Orphée, who never lost her smile, was frowning.

“Sally.”

“Yes, Orphée.”

“Do you know what the word is for when we encounter something indescribable?”

“…Usually it’s said that you’ve hit a wall.”

“That’s right, but I don’t even know if this is a wall.”

” What are you talking about..? “

“I couldn’t even see the walls. It felt like I was facing another realm.”

“..!”

“One thing I can be sure of is that what Brother Harvey showed me was not in the realm of what I knew, but in the realm of the unknown.”

Celie’s face slowly hardens at Orphee’s words.

Harvey said that much? He seemed to think so.

“I think it would be best to stay away from Brother Harvey for the time being.”

” ..okay. “

Although Celie was slightly dissatisfied with Orphe’s words, she had no choice but to agree with Orphée’s words.

Because she also knows what Orphée is feeling right now.

“Let’s go back, Sally.”

” ..huh. “

On the moonlit ground, the man and woman turned and walked toward the dormitory.

At first glance, it looked like a couple dating.

The facial expressions of the man and woman were slightly distorted to be said to belong to lovers.

Celie bit her lip, burning her competitive spirit to become stronger.

Orphée was thinking about Harvey’s last words to her.

********************

“I almost got lost.”

After meeting Orphee and Celie, I quickly left the park and was walking towards the dormitory.

“Oh, ten… legs.”

Perhaps due to the recoil of the fairly powerful binding curse, pain was being inflicted on my legs like a needle tingling.

It would have been better if it had been my arms, but the recoil in my legs made me walk with a limp.

Jinglang.

“Still, I’m glad we made a proper artificial mouth.”

The amber necklace hanging around her neck served as a proper accessory.

I didn’t know it when I made it, but this is pumpkin soup.

He was secretly playing his role as a guardian properly.

I see that even though Ban Dong used a big curse earlier, there was no major problem with his body.

Maybe this guy, Harvey, really had talent as a shaman.

One by one.

Because of the pain rising from my legs, I can’t help but curse.

“Whew..Whew..”

When I stopped walking for a moment and caught my breath, the pain in my legs slowly began to disappear.

“For now, let’s focus on recovery.”

Even if the recoil wasn’t too bad, the current state of my legs was perfect for being eaten by Arte, let alone Academy.

I had to hand over the medicine, and I had to make sure Arte cleaned up after him.

It was clear that if I left that guy alone, he would quickly tell someone.

I felt better about blocking it in advance.

Moreover, there were characters with weak minds in the novel, if they approached him with impure purposes…

“That will never happen.”

I got goosebumps all over my body as I imagined something that should never have happened actually happening.

I will definitely kill that bastard with my own hands.

As I was walking awkwardly, I encountered a group of students walking towards me.

These guys are walking with lots of packaging boxes in their hands, as if they’ve been somewhere.

I walked past them, avoiding eye contact as much as possible.

“Isn’t he Harvey?”

“Huh..? Huh! Is that right?”

“But why are his legs like that?”

“I don’t know, I guess I did something strange again and got angry at myself.”

“Tsk tsk tsk… If you were abandoned by your family, aren’t you now a commoner? Shall we start an argument?”

“Sounds fun, come check it out.”

‘f*ck. ‘

Now, even these bastards are starting to get involved.

Normally, I would have just ignored it.

The problem is that my legs have become sore now.

“Oh my! Our Master Harvey! What is going on here?!”

Yellow hair, a somewhat grumpy expression.

‘This bastard…’

This is the guy I remember.

He was the guy who helped Orphée kill Harvey at the end of Act 1.

‘Definitely a name. ‘

“..James Gargon.”

When I mumbled his name, the guy opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised.

“Master Harvey, the famous asshole, knows my name? Should I consider this an honor?”

” ..go away. “

“Get out of here? Oh my, why are you saying such harsh things between us? What kind of people are we?”

“…”

When I glared at him without answering, he gritted his teeth and continued talking.

“I don’t know if you remember the first day of the entrance ceremony~”

” ..First day? “

How do I know that?

“Do you remember, on the day of the entrance ceremony, how you ignored me because I was the eldest son of an unremarkable family, and how you said that my father was an insignificant nobleman?”

‘ ah… ‘

Pad lip is acceptable.

Harvey was wrong, yes I admit it.

“I still haven’t forgotten the humiliation I received that day, Master Harvey.”

Drizzle.

Now James is even making a frown and grinding his teeth.

To be honest, it felt a little unfair.

But what can you do?

They know me as Harvey Artur.

I can’t reveal that I am a possessor.

“What are we going to do now?”

“What are you talking about? It was good when you were flying around with the Artur family on your back, right? But now the family that supported you has abandoned you?”

“You were just looking for an opportunity like a snob.”

“hahahahaha! Snob?”

The guy let out a hearty laugh as if he was dumbfounded.

“Yes, I’m a snob. Before, I was so afraid of Artur that I couldn’t even say a word to him properly. But things have changed now, right?”

“So what are you going to do with me?”

“Aha?! That was the problem?”

The guy thought for a moment, then smiled mischievously as if he thought of a good solution.

“I can’t retaliate here and now… I’m worried about the academy’s rules… and I don’t want to end up like you.”

Tuk.

“…It’s a duel. Harvey Artur, or is it just Harvey now? Whatever!”

James threw the glove he had in his pocket at my face.

The smell of sour sweat and stiff leather stung his nose, and James’ voice was trembling slightly, as if he was so filled with joy.

It must be because of the vague joy of finally being able to get revenge.

In James’ mind, there would be only revenge against me.

“Surely, you wouldn’t run away even if you challenged them to a fair duel?”

Although it was a trivial provocation.

“Ha, that can’t be true.”

I accepted his duel.

Not only are there too many eyes to get rid of me here and now, but I’ll need an alibi to kill Arte and avoid being suspected.

To be honest, I also wanted to crush that laughing face.

“I, Harvey Arthur, accept the duel from James Gargon.”

“Good..! Good..! That’s how it should come out! It’ll be hard for you, a guy with nothing but pride, to refuse!”

“Shut up and tell me the time and place.”

“Take off the bull’s horn as soon as possible, and I’ll see you at the duel tomorrow evening.”

” ..good night. “

Now that I’ve heard about the time and place, the reason for being there is gone.

I passed him and started walking towards the dormitory.

“I know it won’t be fun if I run away.”

James’ provocation heard behind his back.

I felt a will to take revenge.

Resentment, anger, hatred, contempt, contempt for Harvey.

All those emotions mixed together in the voice and hit my eardrums.

“You idiot, don’t run away.”

After spitting out a word to the guy, I started walking towards the dormitory.
