NOVEL NEXT chapter 50
50. Should I get some traffic control now?
Chapter 50. Need to get some traffic control now?
Pina sighed and fell silent.
Then she turned around, rubbing her body against Tail’s face.
I could feel the fluffy hair all over my face.
After looking at every nook and cranny of Tail for a while, Pina opened her mouth.
“Huh. I don’t know.”
You don’t know?
Tale was taken aback.
“I don’t think I should say it carelessly….”
Hey-ong.
Pina made a small cat noise.
“Yes. I just won’t talk.”
After saying that, Pina walked through the air and returned to her seat.
But Tail couldn’t say anything more.
Because a window popped up in front of him.
[Before attribute. Your mana cannot be defined.]
‘Huh.’
I felt something ominous.
It’s not really that great, is it?
She wanted to be the chief, but she had no intention of being better than the male lead in the original work.
The surroundings murmured slightly as they looked at Tails.
And a girl was watching the whole situation from outside the classroom window.
Exactly towards the tail.
* * *
Kromhell was in a bad mood today.
The Introduction to Mana Studies has just ended.
Certainly, the class atmosphere was not seriously cold compared to when I first came.
A line was drawn between the aristocrats and the commoners, but each group chattered like ordinary students.
“I can handle water mana!”
“I’m envious. They say I have no attribute.”
“But you said you have high mana sensitivity.”
The commoners’ conversation was mainly about the introduction to mana science they had just taken.
Aristocrats also gathered in groups of twos and threes to talk about the introduction to Mana Studies they had just heard.
“As expected, it was earth mana.”
“Huh? I am also mana of earth.”
“Oops. Are they both earth mana? I am a non-attribute.”
The class atmosphere was lively.
Except for Chrome Hell.
At first, he became the king of a group of nobles because he was the second son of Count Barker, but that was only for a while.
All the nobles around him fell away because of his continued orders and his damn personality.
Especially after losing openly to Tail, the representative of the commoners, in a swordsmanship sparring, no one spoke to him after that.
‘Damn it.’
The academy he thought of was not like this.
‘It’s all because of that commoner.’
Kromhell glared at Tail, who was talking with Alice.
Kromhell glared at him for a while, then got up and went outside.
‘I don’t want to look like everyone.’
I still feel like my whole body boils when I think of the days of swordsmanship training.
It was then.
“Are you Kromhell Wacker?”
A girl dressed in luxurious fabrics approached.
It was also the girl who watched the situation through the window during the introduction to mana science class.
At the appearance of a girl overflowing with dignity, Kromhell died and replied.
“Yes. You’re right.”
“Follow me.”
Speaking briefly, she walked straight down the aisle.
Kromhell hurriedly followed the girl who disappeared at high speed.
After a while. The girl stopped at a shabby warehouse.
A warehouse that looks spooky at first glance, like a haunted house.
‘Why did you bring me here?’
While Kromhell was flustered, the girl opened the warehouse.
Kikii Profit.
The door opened, and light filtered in.
There was another person in the warehouse.
As the black silhouette was slightly exposed, Kromhell’s mouth opened slightly.
I knew right away who that person was.
Her sharp spirit and her arrogant eyes pierced her.
The man with his arms crossed said in a cynical voice.
“There is something you need to do.”
And at the words that followed, Kromhell’s eyes widened.
* * *
A few days have passed.
Tail returned to the dormitory and immediately took a shower.
She washed her hair with cold water and felt her mind clear.
“Ha ha.”
Oddly enough, Chrome Hell didn’t argue with her these days.
She thought it was too suspicious, but on the other hand, it was fortunate.
“No. We have to see it by tomorrow.”
Tomorrow was the day of swordsmanship.
If you can get past that, you’ll feel a little more at ease.
After finishing the shower while thinking about this and that, Tails covered only his bottoms with a towel and came out.
I forgot to bring a change of clothes and didn’t come in.
Just before I grabbed the doorknob and left, I looked in the mirror and saw my well-toned muscles and toned body.
Is that why?
I don’t know why, but the road I’ve walked so far has been worthwhile.
‘Then let’s go out.’
When I opened the door, I saw Eugene and Ricky sitting on the bed and chatting.
“So. If you fold it like this….”
“Oh! Pretty!”
It looked like he was doing origami.
‘Well, Eugene has loved origami since he was little.’
But I didn’t expect that even Ricky would react that well.
Tail sneaked up to see what he was folding.
‘… Heart?’
How did you fold this?
At the time I thought so.
“Then you too…. Huh?”
Yujin turned her head slightly at the presence she felt next to her.
“Te, te, te, tail?”
Yujin’s face turned red.
Looking sideways at Eugene’s reaction, Ricky turned the whale and met eyes with the half-naked Tail.
“Keah!”
Ricky’s cheeks turned red.
However, unlike their hardened bodies, the two’s eyes were busy moving up and down.
“What is it? What is your reaction like?”
Tail tried to untie the towel from his lower body as he saw the two reacting tremendously.
Because I had to untie the towel to change my clothes.
“Now, now, wait!”
Ricky and Eugene jumped up and hurriedly stopped him.
“Why?”
When Tails asked questioningly, Eugene shouted, her face red like a tomato.
“Because! No, of course I want to see…. No! It’s not….”
Yujin, who was talking nonsense, shouted.
“I am not ready!”
– Sorry!
– Sorry!
A voice resounded throughout the room.
Tayl asked, bewildered.
“What isn’t ready? What am I wearing?”
At Tail’s question, Eugene grabbed Ricky’s hand and left her dorm room.
Bang-!
The door is closed.
Tayl, who was left alone, smiled.
“Why are you doing that?”
I couldn’t figure out why.
* * *
The next day.
The time for swordsmanship has come.
“Today’s class is sparring~”
Titina exclaimed with a grin.
“Don’t worry, I’ll change my posture in between.”
It was then.
Chromhell trudged towards Tail.
He took off the glove from his hand and threw it at Tail.
The glove that was fitted to Tail’s back fell to the floor.
“I challenge you to a duel!”
Kromhell’s face looked confident.
There was a lot of gossip around.
“It would be a pity to ask you for a formal duel. If it’s for the promise, I’ll apply.”
Ethan stopped seeing Kromhel like that.
“No. What kind of duel request is this all of a sudden?”
However, Kromhell did not stop.
“I am representing the nobility and you representing the common people in a duel.”
Kromhell’s eyes shone cruelly.
“The loser leaves this academy.”
The corner of his mouth twitched.
“The loser’s group bows down to the other group and enters.”
At that moment, the surroundings became very noisy.
It was an arbitrary act that was not discussed with anyone.
“Shouldn’t we be clearing the traffic now?”
Isn’t it?
Kromhell added.
“You may decline if you intend to trample the sacred duel.”
“….”
Tale was silent.
Inwardly, it was as if I had let out a hundred sighs.
No, it’s been quiet lately, but suddenly it’s like this?
But Tail had no choice.
If you refuse here, you are ignoring the sacred duel.
In other words, you become a loser who runs away without even starting.
As if it couldn’t be helped, Tail opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
At the same time, Titina clapped.
Pair. Match. Match.
“It was good~”
Titina’s pink eyes sparkled with interest.
“Preparing the sparring on time means that I can take charge, right?”
Titina smiled sweetly.
“The date of the sparring is next week’s swordsmanship class, this time.”
Tail sighed when he saw that the date had been fixed.
Ah. How is this sh*t going around?
* * *
For a week, rumors spread throughout the school.
“Hey, did you hear that? In Class 1, there is a duel between a commoner and an aristocrat.”
“I heard that the two of them were representing, so the losing side bowed its head to the winning side?”
“Wow, that’s crazy. But are the commoners going to be a piece of cake to fight the nobles?”
“I heard that you are the top entrant?”
“Huh? The one without that mana hole?”
Wherever I went, there was an uproar at school.
And.
During the chaos, Tail asked Titina to borrow her private training room.
And after class ended, I continued to practice.
“Whoa.”
On the first day, I simply warmed up and opened the textbook I had read until I was worn out.
There was a reason for opening the textbook, other than anything else.
It was because of the words of the mercenary who taught him the sword.
“You said you got all the textbooks? Wouldn’t it be?”
The mercenary snorted.
“In the distant future, when you are really desperate, read it again.”
It seems that the mercenary’s eyes were alive at that time.
“Even then, if nothing has changed, you will have to give up swordsmanship.”
Recalling the mercenary’s words, Tail slowly opened the textbook.
One letter.
One letter.
I read with concentration.
Read, read, read.
I read it for three full days.
After that, Tail immediately grabbed the sword.
He pours out everything he reads with his eyes.
Move like flowing water.
The breathing that inevitably occurs for that movement.
A vague energy in the breath felt at that moment.
“Whoa.”
The moment I inhaled, my body felt a little clearer.
“Whoa.”
When he let out his breath, it seemed that the takgi inside his body was gushing out.
But for that, I had to try to breathe artificially clean air.
I had to consciously try to vomit takgi.
I couldn’t explain this absurd situation in which the human will manipulates the lungs that the realm of will cannot reach.
I could only say this.
Just like that, the day before the duel came.
Tail felt something tickle in his head.
Around the time when the feeling that seemed almost impossible to grasp continued.
Ding-!
A window popped up.
