chapter 49
49 – School Trip (1)
Approximately two weeks have passed since the student council request ended.
Of course, nothing has happened or been done in the meantime.
If there is any, it is that it is an announcement related to the midterm exam.
‘What is this, it can’t be helped.’
Originally, midterm exams should be held on the island where the previous performance evaluation was taken.
However, due to the terror of the demons, the island was completely messed up.
As a result, the midterm exam was delayed.
Because of that, the announcement came out only now.
‘It’s the same as the original.’
It is said that the final exam and the midterm exam are combined.
Actually, it is unavoidable.
Because it was too late for midterm exams now.
‘Well, in the final exam episode, terrorism will happen in the end.’
Anyway, it’s not like this.
The final exam is extremely important, but the episode that will happen right now is more important than that.
‘Episode of the Saint.’
This time, it was decided to go to the Holy Federation at the academy.
Unlike the continent of Manchester, a country with no status at all.
In a way, it looks like a democratic country, but in reality, you can see that the church just built a country.
It is easier to roughly think of the king as the pope and the saintess as the princess.
And the incident that will happen this time is the episode of The Saint Escape.
Rescuing her from her renegades in her Holy Federation.
Considering her original work, she must save her unconditionally.
For the party we will make later, she is essential.
‘Whoa. Well, I’m preparing for that.’
Let me think about that for a moment.
– Disciple. What are you thinking?
Miroel comes right in front of me and asks a question.
I answered the question.
“I just wanted something that a woman would like.”
– Yes?
At my sudden answer, she puts a question mark on her head.
I never thought that the word gift would come out of my mouth.
Miro El asks in her puzzled voice.
-Why the sudden gift?
“Oh, I want to make a present for someone.”
– A gift?
“Yes. So, what do you think would be good for Master?”
At my question, she narrowed her eyes.
As if he was asking me why.
-Real disciples feel it every time, but there is no delicacy.
“Yes?”
– Huh.
She sighs deeply in her pitiful eyes.
Then, with her cheeks puffed out, she enters the primordial palace.
Anyway, it looks like it’s properly pouted.
‘No. If this happens, I’ll have to prepare myself.’
With that thought in mind, I finished training and purchased items to prepare for the next episode.
As an aside, when Miro El gave her chicken and cake, she immediately let go of her anger.
***
After a few days, the school trip time finally arrived.
Usually when a school trip comes, I get excited.
However, unlike the other students, I wasn’t overjoyed.
Isn’t that because the incident already happened in the middle of the school trip?
‘Well, it’s actually a sub-episode, so it’s not a big deal.’
Nevertheless, it is impossible to relax.
Because you don’t know how the world will go.
The time when I think seriously.
“Baran. What’s going on?”
Sherry asks with her worried face.
I shook my head at that question.
“No. It’s just that it’s been a while since I’ve been on a trip.”
“Huh. When you say it’s been a while, you mean you’ve been there?”
“Ah, the Holy Federation is the first time.”
“Really?”
“Yes. More than that, I heard about Miss Sherry.”
“Huh?”
At my words, she tilts her head.
I opened my mouth with a kind smile.
“I heard that you beat Miss Luden.”
“Oh, did you hear?”
“Yes, I heard it directly from Miss Luden.”
“Yes…”
I thought she would be delighted, but contrary to my expectations, she put on a puzzled expression.
‘What is it? What’s wrong?’
I stared at her status window for a moment while wondering.
Status window.
Lv. 49.
Occupation: Flame Wizard.
Possessed characteristics.
Fire resistance (★★★)
Flame Orb (★★★★)
The talent you possess.
Flame Affinity Lv. 4
Magic Lv. 4
You really have grown tremendously.
The level has risen by 4 times compared to the time of the performance evaluation.
In addition, magic power has also been upgraded, and flame resistance has also grown further.
It was the moment when she realized once again how much effort she had put in.
‘Well, it’s not just the setting of the Patrick family’s successive geniuses.’
Anyway, this is it.
Why on earth is she making such a confused expression?
Clearly her target wasn’t Luden.
To be honest, I thought she would really like it, but she’s not as pleased as she thought.
Her In the end, I couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked her a question.
“Aren’t you overjoyed?”
“Ah, hmm. What should I say?”
“?”
“I feel like my goals have changed after the performance evaluation.”
‘A goal?”
I tilted my head at the word that the goal had changed.
This is a completely different situation from the original.
“What goal did it change to?”
“Uh, uh… That’s it!”
The next moment, she blushes with her arms crossed.
What kind of goal is it that makes her react like that?
“Ah, a goal is a goal anyway! There are things like that just because I feel relieved!”
You change the topic so blatantly.
Something was dubious for nothing, but, well, it’s not really that important.
One way or another, it’s important that in the end she grows bigger than her original.
‘Good is good.’
Thinking of that, it was then that I continued to talk with Sherry.
“Sherry! Mr. Baran, the boat is here!”
Lisa motions for her to come this way along with the others.
We turned our heads after hearing that.
The next moment.
-Shuaaa.
A huge ship cutting through the beach.
Seeing that, Sherry opened her mouth wide.
“Wow.”
Is it because, unlike the modern world, civilization has not developed greatly?
For Sherry, it would be the first time she had seen such a huge cruise.
Well, it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.
-Hmm, this is amazing every time I see it.
At that time, Miroel narrowed her eyes while watching Cruise.
It seems that she has seen cruises in the past.
‘By the way, have there been cruises in the past?’
While I had such doubts for a while.
“Baran, what are you doing? Aren’t you coming?”
Sherry puts on her puzzled expression and tells her to come here quickly.
I nodded and walked away.
At the same time.
-Kok.
Someone hugs me from behind.
I want someone to look at me, Miroel stares at me with a face that seems natural.
-Oh, it can’t be helped. If I’m wrong, I’ll keep getting through.
This is definitely not wrong.
But isn’t it just a matter of entering the Palace of the Beginning?
I doubted that for a while, but as if she would never let go of her, she squeezed her arm.
I think I will have to go like this for a while.
***
While the first graders are queuing up and boarding the cruise.
‘Hmm. No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find it.’
Luden thoughtfully remembered what had happened the other day.
Baran who vomits blood in an artificial dungeon.
He says it’s just because he’s drained too much of his mana.
‘Actually, I didn’t believe it very much.’
If I had just said that, I wouldn’t have cared.
However, I saw the medicine he was taking at the inn.
When I asked just in case, he said that it was a medicine that would make the body feel better.
So I asked through Lisa once.
Is there a pill that makes the body healthy?
She said that there is such a thing, and she handed me a book about medicine.
Together.
‘There was no medicine for Baran.’
Yes.
No matter how much I searched through the books, there was no medicine he was taking.
She asked Lisa just in case.
Could there be a medicine that is not in this book?
In response to that question, Lisa answered as follows.
-It won’t be too long. All the books there are changed in real time every time, and that is the most up-to-date.
The moment she heard that, she was convinced again.
That Baran is suffering from an illness.
‘No. Is there any way?’
I haven’t even known him for a year.
However, I was favored by him during the performance evaluation and practical classes.
I want to help him somehow.
‘Haa, is there really no way?’
The time when I thought that way.
“Then, class A students can go in!”
Soon it was class A’s turn.
Class A students quietly climbed into the boat following Dale’s guidance.
After everyone goes up like that, the boat slowly starts to move.
-Oh…!
-You have a good sense of stability, right?
-Yes. Certainly expensive ships are different.
-Still, it fluctuates a little.
-This is still a nobleman.
Everyone admires the unexpected experience.
It was also the first time Luden was on a boat, so the feeling was subtle.
But at that moment.
“Are you okay? Mr. Baran?”
“Is Baran okay?”
The party hurriedly approached Baran.
I moved my gaze, wondering what the hell was going on.
Then, I saw him covering his mouth with his hand, his face turned white.
The moment I saw that, I remembered what happened in the artificial dungeon.
Anyway, it seems that his illness is much more serious than she thought.
