Academy Slave Instructor

51 – Abigail

Abigail

The case of attempting to kidnap Philia ended when the belatedly arrived guards rounded up Zaherio and his gang.

Zaherio took all of his sins by claiming that he had done everything on his own.

Even so, the restraint of Zaherio, who was a vassal, also affected Baron Julio, and those who thought that the Serios family would do something were curious about the quiet Serios family.

“So what is it doing now?”

Aslan frowned at Rai and Filia in the distance.

“It’s called tagging. Instructor Lai said he was curious about Ms. Philia’s ability and suggested it first.”

At the words of Zeroa, Aslan carefully observes what the two are doing.

Philia is running away from her academy stage, and Rai chases after her. Seeing her magic exploding here and there, Filia seemed sincere, and Rai’s attacks were unstoppable, so from the side of her, it looked real.

Whether she is happy being chased or her training is fun, Philia’s expression looks somewhat happy, and Rai, who chases after her, is also excited.

As she turns her body violently, drops of her sweat splatter into the air, and Philia lands on her floor, watching a fireball pass over her head as if it could touch it. As she lands lightly, she twists her body and tries to run away, but Rai’s voice is heard.

“If you don’t want to kill the hostages, don’t run away!”

When Philia turned around, Rai was holding Xenia from behind as she was really passing by and holding a dagger to her throat.

“Eh, eh? What’s going on?”

Xenia with her innocent face doesn’t know what she is, so she looks at Rai and Philia alternately.

“Sister was caught by me.”

“Huh? Huh? Did I get caught?”

“Yes, so just stay in my arms.”

Xenia, who belatedly noticed that he was hugging her from behind, and entrusted her body to him with her blushing face.

Looking at her, no matter how she looks at her, Philia makes her villainous face to Han Rai, furrowing her eyebrows.

“Did I win for taking the hostage?”

“What do you win, it’s not over yet? What are you going to do with the hostages?”

“Don’t be mean. The knight takes hostages like some kind of robber.”

“Isn’t that a knight? I’m an instructor.”

“If you’re an instructor, you shouldn’t do that!”

When Philia gets angry, all the academy students who were watching around her nod their heads at her. Xenia, who was in Rai’s arms, also nodded her head slightly, but she wanted this situation to last for a while because of his warmth.

“A love fight?”

“A triangle, a triangle.”

“It’s an affair, it’s kind of a love triangle. Lai-kang is having an affair with instructor Xenia and trying to hit Philia.”

For some reason, Philia, who glanced at Xenia, who was standing still with a happy expression, and the academy students who were whispering while watching around, said to Rai.

“Let go of the mischievous instructor Xenia and make it fair.”

“Have you met only fair-haired guys? Try to solve it quickly. If you don’t drop your weapon within 5 seconds, there is no hostage life.”

At Rai’s threat, Philia frowned at her and threw away her sword without hesitation.

“Wrong, are you going to get hit again?”

“How can I throw it away? They’re caught because of me.”

“Even if you were a commander, what would you do if the enemy took a few hostages and told you to surrender? And if you lay down your weapons in this situation, both of them will die.”

“……Then what should I do?”

“I don’t lay down my weapon when I can’t see any other way. It’s better than dying for both of us, and we can avenge the worst. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being caught and taking chances, unless getting caught is part of the plan.”

That doesn’t mean the hostage’s life will come back. At the cold words, Philia averts her gaze with a dissatisfied expression.

Indeed, if it hadn’t been for Rai, Philia and her women would have lost their lives. However, if she hadn’t let go of her weapon there, she might have died even if the rai came.

“There’s no right answer because you don’t know what the outcome will be. But don’t give up easily on her. She said that if that woman is your precious person, she can’t say anything, but at the time, she was someone who had nothing to do with you. “

“But she got caught because of me.”

Philia grunts at her Rai, who speaks her impersonally as she tries to seduce the woman.

From noble mtl dot com

“To carry each one with you? I’m sorry, but in a war, you will judge and choose people’s lives as their value.”

“……”

“When you have to give up human affection and knightly duty, these will come inevitably, so take heart.”

No one ever told me such a cold story. Those who advised her Philia always spoke of her bright side and taught her virtues.

It’s not that they didn’t tell me because they didn’t have experience. It is not easy to say these words to a girl who wants to hear the story with innocent eyes.

Philia, who has already experienced her kidnapping several times, is well aware of her dark side. She doesn’t tell me, but she notices bad things going on in the family and dark circles.

Feeling her gratitude to Rai for giving her difficult advice, Philia put the sword that had fallen on her floor.

“That Mr. Lai? Are you finished?”

“Yes, it looks like it’s over. You’ve worked hard, sister.”

As her rai released her easily, she felt regret for a moment, but Xenia didn’t show it in her expression and shook her head.

“No, it was good… No, no. It’s not that. Ah, was it Mr. Rai who saved the paniac? I heard from the head of the academy. It’s a rare material, but he found it a lot, so I was able to use it as a textbook for my alchemy lecture. This semester I will study with the academy students.”

“That’s great.”

When Rai smiled coolly and nodded her head, the delighted Xenia spoke cautiously.

“I… Thank you, but do you need anything?”

She prepared her sweetness on Seria’s Day, but Xenia, who couldn’t even give it to Rai, mustered up her courage and spoke up. She really wanted to have dinner with her, but she was shy about being too explicit.

“Oh, I have one. Give me some medicine.”

“Yes? Where are you hurt?”

“No, potions and healing magic are resistant, so it’s not good to use them often. Is there a good ointment for bruises?”

“He said he had a little…”

It’s not what she wanted, but Xenia agreed to bring her medicine because Rai wants it.

Xenia, who decided to take her to Rai’s house by insisting that she would go to pick it up later, heads for his house with her pounding heart.

Perhaps the two of you are alone, and then the conversation goes well and you stay until the evening, or even have a cozy dinner… Eating homemade rye dishes, drinking sweet wine, and beyond…

After imagining that far, Xenia turned red, shook her head, embraced the medicine she prepared as if it were a valuable item, and headed for Rai’s house.

“……”

Contrary to her expectations, there were many academy students in Rai’s garden.

There were Philia and Zeroah who greeted politely, Aslan who nodded in disdainful manner, and even Abigail frowning.

Even though Xenia’s eyes met, Abigail ignored her and turned her head away, only looking at Rai.

“Sit down here, Instructor.”

Zeroa skillfully brings a chair from her and invites Xenia.

Rye and Abigail were in the middle of the garden, and the nearby academy students were sitting huddled at the end of the garden. Seeing the academy students sitting as if they were accustomed to it, Xenia cautiously asked, and Zeroa answered.

“Abigail is challenging Instructor Rai.”

“Why? What else did you do?”

Xenia asked as if it was natural that Rai had done something, but none of them felt anything strange.

“No, instructor Lai promised me that if I won in Dalian, I would give private lessons.”

“Ah… But can you win? Mr. Rai is said to be incredibly strong.”

“Yes, so I said that I would accept it if I brushed even one handicap.”

At Zeroa’s words, Xenia nodded and looked at Rai. She doesn’t know how to fight, so she doesn’t know, but just brushing her is a condition for winning.

“How many minutes will you last today?”

After Asran spoke calmly, Xenia asked if this had happened more.

“Yeah, six times already? I think it’s been around that time. Every time I sparred, I get beaten up, but there’s a lot.”

She praises Abigail, but Xenia, frightened at the sound of being beaten, now knows why Rai asked her to prepare her ointment.

‘I will hit you hard…’

Xenia remembers Rai’s words that using her healing magic or potion will make her resistant. It was a knowledge she knew, but she couldn’t understand how rough she was when she used potions in sparring with her common sense.

While playing hide and seek with Rai, Philia happens to be an observer and sees the two fighting for the first time. It is helpful just to watch the sparring of people with good skills, so she carefully looks at the two with one eye.

“I’m going to write an illusion today. I had fun the other day.”

Lai refers to the type of skill to be used in advance and carries a short sword. She went from right hand to left hand and then from left hand to right hand again. As if playing with a dagger, Abigail rushes at him without saying a word.

Her sword swung aiming at her waist, and Rai stepped back from her with a groaning sound.

As soon as she catches her momentum, her Abigail launches a vicious attack and digs in, but Rai easily sheds her attack and quickly throws out her free right hand.

After bending her head and dodging her by a piece of paper, Abigail lowered her stance and raised her sword from underneath her, but Rai pulled her foot back and only slightly turned her body around. Avoid with

“Right fist goes.”

Saying that while holding her shortsword from her left hand to her right hand, Rai swung her sword, but Abigail, anticipating the path of her sword, moved to her side and easily dodged it.

– Ppaak

“Kyaaak!”

Abigail, dodging to her side, hits her in the face so hard that her upper body breaks. Xenia is startled and gives her breath, but Abigail, who is about to fall, immediately comes to her senses and backs away from her.

“Are you an idiot? She holds her sword in her right hand, but of course her left swings.”

Watching Rai toss her shortsword into the air and catch it alternately, Abigail spits her blood in her mouth onto the floor and lunges at her with the tip of her sword in front.

“Left fist goes.”

She is holding a sword in her left hand this time. As Abigail looks at the sword in Rai’s hand, she is also wary of her empty right hand.

– Ppaak

Shocked again to the point where she tilted her body, Abigail is pushed off with her limp stride and rolls across her floor.

Her expression of absurdity was rare, as she was always only frowning, but Philia and Aslan, who were watching her, had the same expression.

She apparently holds her sword in her left hand, and from her left she swings her fist. Rai holds the sword in her right hand as she grabs her sword and strikes it down with her fist.

“She said ahead of time that she was going to the left. Why can’t she avoid it?”

Abigail gnashing her teeth at Rai’s words got up and ran.

“Right this time.”

Abigail raises her left hand to protect her head and tries to swing her sword, but again gets the shock and knocks her to the floor.

“To be naive. Do you trust the words of your enemies?”

Ray, who attacked with his empty left hand, laughed with a nasty expression.

Illusion uses the opponent’s concentration. And the target of those who face swords is the opponent’s sword. It was the most dangerous object, so it was inevitable that all eyes would be drawn to it, and Rai was making good use of that concentration.

Although it’s only an empty-handed strike since it focuses on the sword, if the level is high, this is an attack that will kill you in one shot.

Abigail, who had been attacked defenselessly three times, ran the back of her hand as if she was annoyed at the blood flowing from her mouth and nose, then ran back to Rai.

She seems to run at it without thinking, but every time she is attacked, her behavior adjusts a bit.

Of the onlookers, Philia alone notices it and admires it. Coordinating movements during combat is quite a challenge. Changing the way to suit the opponent is easy to say. If you can change the action you have repeated thousands or tens of thousands of times in an instant, you won’t need practice.

Her attacks were sharp and her movements were rough, but Abigail was calmly sparring. As Philia admires her for not losing her cool even after being attacked and ridiculed by her, Rai puts her sword in the air.

The sword, which is released with a little force, floats in the air for a while and then falls due to gravity. And when everyone’s eyes were on the sword, Rai stretched out his fierce fist in a straight line that could kill Abigail.

The rough and strong regime, the exact opposite of the smooth movement so far, flies as if breaking Abigail’s head in front of her.

But Abigail, who didn’t care about her sword at all, reacted to Rai’s fist as if she couldn’t work for the illusion, twisting her body and spinning around in the air.

Turning her body around, the sword she swung in a circle aimed at Rai’s head, but he quickly escaped.

“Utchacha, sorry.”

“Huh?”

As Rai laughs leisurely, Philia discovers something and is surprised.

All eyes were on the tip of his chin. Abigail, who had flung her body for a number of knightly revivals, slumps to the bottom of her, looking at his chin with a muddy face.

“……”

Rai touches his chin and sees the blood on his fingers. It seems that the tip of Abigail’s sword touched her very lightly.

“Did Abigail win…?”

Athlan muttered as if he couldn’t believe it, and Filia and Zeroa looked at him with dazed eyes.

As the breathless Abigail continues to stare at her, Rai smiles and claps her hands.

“Yes, this was an illusion.”

When the illusion is broken with the sound of applause, the wound on the tip of Rai’s chin is nowhere to be found. Seeing Rai twitching while showing off her clean fingers, Philia frowns on her.

“Wow- that’s really annoying…”

“If it wasn’t for the instructor, I would have stabbed myself in the back.”

Rye is squatting in front of Abigail, who is lying on the floor, teasing her. Asran, who strongly agrees with Philia’s words, approaches Abigail and helps her stand up, but she roughly shakes off his hand and touches her sore shoulder before trudging away.

“Kuk!”

“Whoever wants to go. Go after treatment.”

“Let go.”

“I don’t like it? The weak should listen to the strong like the weak. If you just go, they won’t accept sparring anymore.”

Caught in the back by Rai, Abigail exposes her teeth and expresses her anger, but soon puts her head down and becomes docile.

Approaching Abigail, who has become a docile sheep, Xenia checks her wounds and ponders for a while, then puts the ointment she brought on her floor and stretches out her hand.

“I hope for the miracle of greening from the omnipotent Peladora – Your species will be supported by the world from a small seed…”

As Xenia prays, ha light flows from her hand and she clings to Abigail’s wound. It wasn’t healing magic, but a miracle using divine power.

“It must have been a peladora leaf.”

“Yes, I served Peladora-sama with a lowly body. It’s a thing of the past now.”

“It’s not a thing of the past because you can still use holy power.”

Leaves represent priests of Peladora. It was a priest, but seeing that it was a long time ago, it means that there was some problem.

Xenia nodded her head slightly and sent her eyes of gratitude to Rai’s consolation when she said she was her priest since Feladora hadn’t reaped her divine power yet.

Unlike healing magic or potions, divine power is a miracle, so there is no such thing as resistance. The power, which is literally a miracle and a blessing, completely heals Abigail’s wounds, and she raises her body, then turns and leaves her garden.

“Idiot, what did I say?”

“……”

At Rai’s words, Abigail stops her steps and she looks up at the sky for a moment, then turns around and bows her head to Xenia.

“Thank you for treating me.”

“No, I just did my job. Can you call me later when we sparr?”

“……”

Abigail looks at Xenia with a kind smile for a while, then turns away without answering her.

“He has a cute side.”

“That’s the cute side? It’s not mean.”

” Says the snobbish bastard. Be good to yourself, dude.”

Rai, who kicked Aslan’s butt, calls everyone together to eat.
