Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

72 – Reflecting (3)

Ruid was lying in Delrin’s lake.

It’s been a long time since I’ve come, so I need to feel safe, but I was in a good mood.

“I want to fall asleep like this forever… “

She turned over on her side.

Her hair is messed up.

The family was trying to rehabilitate themselves by turning on the light in their eyes, and the story was twisted, so if the dark side appears in the future, you will have to step out yourself.

She

Tried to find her goal and live with ambition, but she fell into a groggy state within a day.

… By nature, it seems that this kind of thing is not to be sold. Louis realized that her own gas mileage was very poor.

‘Where did it go wrong?’

Truly a total impasse.

Ruid had no idea where to start touching her. She was so annoying that she didn’t even want to think about it.

Shall we sleep like this for 10 years?

‘That’s not bad either.’

Then the ban on pocket money will be lifted, and goodbye to the original novel forever.

She’s giving up the minimum dignity she needs to protect as a human being. It’s easy to give up in the first place.

Ruid closed her eyes as she decided to become inorganic.

Damon was searching through the main building which had been blown up.

He didn’t like being covered in dust, and he turned over the rubble with his bare hands. As a result, the dust got on his clothes and face, but he didn’t care.

“Prince Damon, how many days have you been?”

“I heard that you haven’t slept for two days already.”

“Why are you doing that… “

“Okay.”

As they say, Damon has already been awake for close to 70 hours.

That doesn’t mean I can’t feel fatigue. But he was engrossed in his work. Whatever one may say, it was Damon who carved out his own path.

“…… I found it.”

Damon, who seemed to be searching the building without thinking, found some pieces and picked them up.

This is probably the medium that the heinous black magician used to place barriers on buildings.

I feel an unpleasant aura.

“Surely, this little thing made a good barrier.”

Damon touched his chin.

The black pieces were small.

The energy you can feel is quite strong, but judging from the unnatural cutting surface, it is highly likely that only part of it was cut from the large body.

‘A pretty good black magician. The barrier, I made it weak on purpose.’

If the value of the medium is high, the usable barrier will be stronger.

Nevertheless, there was only one conclusion that these small pieces were used.

Considered the level. ‘Someone’s’

“I couldn’t have thought of the lives of vulgar things that didn’t even know honor. It must have had a purpose.”

Damon put the pieces in his pocket. On a pile of rubble of a building, he had an accident.

He doesn’t move without purpose. Damon basically doesn’t see warlocks as anything more than “Worms”, But he doesn’t look down on them either.

Damon boldly ruled out many possibilities that came to mind.

Then there were only a few things left. He spat the most plausible thing out of his mouth.

“Someone hoped to pass this ordeal. It’s clear that at least it’s not me. The target is a weaker, more pathetic fellow.”

Then why did the warlock want to pass the ordeal?

At first, I thought Louis had lowered her power.

But he knew for sure now that he had found a medium. Ruid did not touch the barrier.

Damon began calculating backwards based on the information he had gathered so far. He wondered what kind of judgment he would have made if he had been Louis.

“…… Indeed, blowing it up would have been best. When it is unclear what the enemy wants, it is a reasonable decision to mess it up as much as possible.”

Ruid caught the black magician who designed this barrier and blew the ‘stage’ prepared by the black magician without a trace.

In other words, when the opponent moves unpredictably on the chessboard, he overturns the chessboard without hesitation.

It’s not a very honorable act, but it’s the best method when you think about the purpose.

If the board is wrong, shouldn’t it be removed first?

… However, I didn’t like that method.

Damon put the piece in his pocket and moved on.

“Oh, are you still doing this?”

He ran into Hersy, who was busy carrying a book.

Damon started with the main point.

“Where is Ruid?”

When Hercy heard Louis’ name, he opened his eyes. He pointed toward Delrin’s lake.

“…… Ruid is reflecting. There, at the lake of Delrin.”

“Reflection?”

Damon put on an expression of disapproval.

“Do you think he will reflect?”

“… Yes?”

“From the beginning, nothing was wrong. Perhaps, it is interesting to hear what someone says to you.”

“What is that… “

“It means they are playing. Like a child.”

Hersy was bewildered.

“Yes?”

“But for now, I guess it’s time to wake up from child’s play.”

Damon walked away with his hands in his pockets.

Hersy looked at the back for a while and muttered.

“… Dirt on his ass.”

**

Damon walked through the bleak landscape of Delrin’s forest.

It was full of traces of Amelia’s battle.

‘Is this the swordsmanship of Windsor? He’s a loser.’

You can tell just by looking at the traces. How exciting Amelia is with her swordsmanship.

There is no hesitation in his swordsmanship, and he seems confident in his skills.

I walked while calmly appreciating. At its end stretched the vast Delrin Lake.

Ruid had nothing to look for. Right in front of her, curled up and lying on her side.

Damon twitched his eyebrows.

“What are you doing?”

“Playing with minerals.”

The spark of life in Ruid’s eyes was gradually going out.

“I heard that you are reflecting, is that reflection?”

“I’ve been wandering around too much lately and I’ve used up all my life energy.”

“The energy of life? Your magic power is normal.”

“Inorganic materials cannot answer the question. Yes, it is inorganic.”

From noble mtl dot com

Damon closed his eyes, feeling the limits of his patience.

“Wake up. I have something to tell you.”

“Inorganic cannot arise…… “

A crease formed between Damon’s forehead.

He summoned a spear and thrust it into Ruid’s face.

Pachijijijijit-!

The window was blocked by Ruid’s powerful barrier. Sparks flew.

“Ah, ah.”

Ruid covered his eyes with her hand.

“It’s dazzling, stop it… “

“Wake up.”

“Stop bullying me. A foolish prince.”

“I hate wasting time.”

Damon removed the spear and forcibly grabbed Ruid by the shoulder and raised him up.

“Everything I do must have meaning. A small gesture, one breath.”

Ruid, sleepy after waking up, said rubbing her eyes.

“Life is tiring.”

“Until now, that has been the case. Until you do something stupid like that-“

Damon finished his sentence and let go of his hand.

Ruid, who had no strength in his body, fell face down.

Damon took a piece out of his pocket.

He threw right in front of him. Louis only followed his eyes.

“It is the medium used by the black magician. As you can see, it is small.”

“Yes.”

“You overturned the chessboard. The enemy should prepare their numbers again and move. But that doesn’t work. I can’t say that my time was meaningfully spent.”

Ruid let out a sigh.

“… So? What do you want to say I’m sorry about the last time. I am reflecting.”

“You solve it.”

Ruid looked at Damon with a disgusted expression.

But she did something wrong, so she quietly turned her head and made an excuse.

“Inorganic materials can do… ….”

“Stop playing the same play.”

Damon’s words fell sharply.

“… ….”

“Playing as a child means to do that. Normally, I would admit it, but the case is different now.”

“… I’m right 12 years old.”

Damon let out a strong life force and gripped his spear with it.

– Kwadeuk.

The ground caved in due to his violent magic.

It was different from earlier when he stabbed the spear as a joke.

Wherever he looked, Ruid’s plaintive expression gradually hardened into his sincere attitude.

Soon, he stared at Damon with a cold expression.

“Please don’t cross the line.”

Ruid said in a low voice.

However, Damon did not regain his momentum.

Wriggling.

Ruid’s eyebrows moved slightly.

Ruid slowly raised himself.

“I don’t know why you keep provoking me.”

Ruid’s blue eyes sank deeply. I was more angry than ever.

“You tried to get over it. What are you so upset about? Everyone.”

Koo Goo Goo-

Magical power reacted to Ruid’s emotions and swayed ferociously.

Louise’s blonde hair fluttered and her blue eyes spread like light.

“Oh, are you finally showing your true self? Lazy Ruid.”

Damon licked his lips with his tongue. He drew back his spear and took a fighting stance.

But the back of his neck was damp from a cold sweat.

‘You’ve been hiding this power well. No, did you ever hide anything? It’s just that I didn’t have anything to write about.’

He suppressed his instinctive fear.

“I wanted to compete with you someday. I guess now is the time.”

“You gain nothing by doing that.”

Ruid said nonchalantly.

“There is. To see your real face. It is worth your time.”

“… I can’t speak.”

“Well? You seem like the most communicative person I’ve ever seen of you.”

Louise narrowed her eyes.

“This is the final warning. Take your life, Damon.”

Damon didn’t take his life.

He rather belligerently ignited his spirit, grabbed his spear and lowered his stance into a fighting stance.

Louise nodded her understanding and reached out her hand.

“I definitely warned you.”

“I talk a lot. Come.”

“… I’m sorry, but you’re no match for me.”

“That- you have to do it to know.”

“That is foolish.”

Ruid clasped her hand.

That moment.

Beep beep——

Damon heard tinnitus in his ears.

Dozens of colorful spheres of light embroider the air

“—!”

There were too many of them to wield with a spear.

‘With this, I won’t die.’

Damon changed his judgment in an instant and threw his full power at Ruid.

Kwaguawang!

The spheres of light exploded in succession.

Penetrating between them, Damon’s spear wedged into Ruid’s forehead.

The spear stopped right in front of Ruid. Ruid looked at Damon with a nonchalant expression.

Damon was so tattered that he couldn’t stand up.

But it wasn’t the aftermath of the elemental explosion that Ruid wrote about.

“…… What is that magic?”

“Reversal of causality. The result that the spear hit directly was returned to you. In other words, you just took the magic damage you used yourself.”

Blood dripped from Damon’s mouth.

“That is a good magic.”

Damon smiled and closed his eyes. His head dropped.

“… ….”

He passed out while standing.

The will to never kneel on the floor, no matter what, made that possible.

**

The Health Room of the Imperial Academy.

Damon was lying in the hospital room, and Ruid was reading a book in front of him.

Ruid wasn’t in a good mood.

“…… How is it?”

“I already asked the fifth time. Stop asking.”

Lydia said with an expressionless face.

“Because it doesn’t happen.”

“I know you made this yourself, but my future husband is trash after all.”

“There is no such future.”

“Leave room. Even if you think of the sincerity that came at once to your words.”

“Thank you for that.”

Ruid moved Damon to her health room and immediately called Lydia.

…… Still, since she was a saint, I wondered if she might have a name.

Ruid read the book again. Lydia said, her life was not in any danger, and she said that thanks to her calling earlier, her aftereffects would not remain.

‘I was so excited then.’

It was an act unbecoming an adult. Louis turned her next page. It was so much fun the other day, but the writing didn’t catch my eye.

I was about to ask Lydia again how she was feeling.

Flinch.

Damon’s fingertips moved.

Ruid raised her head. Damon immediately opened his eyes and met his own.

“Don’t wake me up.”

“From the first word, it was absurd. Isn’t that what I’m supposed to say?”

Damon frowned and half-raised himself. I turned his mana to check his physical condition, but was surprised to find that he was fine.

‘It shouldn’t have been that kind of a wound.’

“…… Damon.”

Ruid said as he closed the book.

She looked up and opened her mouth.

“If it’s an apology, that’s fine. That is an insult to me.”

Louis shut her mouth tightly. She looked at the floor and punched her bruise, then raised her head and said,

“Do you have any money?”

The treatment of the saintess is expensive.
