41 – I hear thunder (2)

A beach where everyone has left.

Justia, who was left alone, was sitting in her place. A dark shadow is cast over her face.

‘I was rejected in the end.’

She confessed to Eugene, but she was rejected.

She wasn’t blind to the possibility of being rejected. She had been following him for six days, but she hadn’t achieved anything. Her sudden confession was only a reluctant decision she made after following him until her last days.

She intended to start her relationship by getting her partner to like her, but she showed no signs that he would like her.

She thought that once she confessed first and started her relationship, she would slowly make her fall in love with him.

Since she had a weapon called her beautiful appearance, she thought that the possibility of her confession being accepted was quite high.

Because he thought that if Eugene was an ordinary guy, he would have a good chance of dating her even if he didn’t like him. It was quite possible for him to accept the confession with the thought that he would only enjoy and dump it. The moment he received his confession, he was confident to win his heart, but… ….

However, he was denied the confession.

His heart was slowly captured, and he was blocked by a wall from the start, with nothing to do.

‘Why… ….’

She From her point of view, it was inevitable to be shocked.

He might have been better off if he had been rejected because he didn’t like his looks.

Since the standard of beauty felt by each person was very different, there was a possibility that even Justia, who was reputed to be beautiful, would not be satisfied in Eugene’s eyes.

But that’s not what Eugene said while refusing.

He just said, “I can’t date you because I don’t like you.”

He said, “If you don’t like it, you can’t date… ….”

She said something that she couldn’t understand.

Love was just a means to get something. He wasn’t the only one with that attitude. Most nobles had that attitude.

Looking at the fact that most of the marriages performed by nobles were ‘arranged marriages’, there was no doubt about that fact.

People in the world dated without love, and spent their entire lives with someone they did not love.

It’s contradictory, but that was the reality.

Therefore, Justia could not understand Eugene.

It’s Eugene. I couldn’t say directly, ‘She’s running out of time for personal training, but she doesn’t have time to spend on a woman she doesn’t really like.’ ….

Suddenly, she was definitely rejected by Eugene.

‘Life is not easy… ….’

Justia raised her head and looked at the dark sky.

Dude.

Water droplets formed on the tip of her nose.

‘Is it going to rain?’

It is an island where the flow of magic power is strange, so only mild and warm days have continued, but suddenly there is a sign of rain.

‘Even the sky is indifferent.’

She was about to shed tears as the rain was about to pour down on her as well.

Shoot ah—

The drops of water that fell from the sky became raindrops before I knew it.

As she sat there with her body exposed to the cold rain, she felt a cool breeze wafting through her entire body before she knew it.

It was not strange even if I caught a cold.

‘I’ll catch a cold or something.’

However, Justia did not raise her body.

She felt a little comforted when she gave her body to the rain beating coldly on her body.

Shoot aaa—

She was caught in her rain, forgetting even the passage of her time. While doing so, the raindrops turned into heavy rain. A thick line of raindrops hit her body.

‘Maybe I should wake up at this much.’

Because of the continuous rain, the depressive mood has improved a little. The chill felt through her body made her shoulders tremble.

‘Let’s go back.’

Justia slowly raised her body and tried to return to where she was.

Then, behind her back, I could feel her suffocating life.

“…… !”

Her body became hard as stone and her breathing became difficult.

‘What the hell is this…….’

She couldn’t even remember when in her life she had been subjected to this kind of killing. To let go of this kind of murder, she wasn’t normally dangerous.

What kind of being would send a life like this?

From noble mtl dot com

Justia turned around.

“Kiyik.”

I saw a creature I had never seen in my life.

‘What the hell is that… ….’

It was not possible to confirm its complete shape because it was covered in heavy rain and darkness, but it was definitely a ‘spider’.

It surpassed most large beasts in size, but it clearly had the appearance of a hideous spider.

‘How did this happen?’

I have never seen such a huge spider in my life. It was an island with a strange flow of magical power, so she had heard that if she went into the rain forest, she might encounter a spirit creature, but that was a creature far beyond her common sense.

“Kieek.”

The spider came to him. Justia’s eyes trembled mercilessly.

She didn’t expect to be in such a dangerous situation, so she didn’t bring that common wooden sword.

‘I have to run away too.’

Running away was the wise course. Justia immediately turned around and ran away.

Quagaga River!

But at the same time as the thunderbolt from the sky, the spider’s lifelike body was heavy on her body.

She was the killing spree of a creature overwhelmingly stronger than her. She couldn’t even move her legs properly.

“Keugh… ….”

She didn’t even notice the spider when it came close to her. There was a huge power gap between her and her spider.

However, the only way to survive was to run away.

“Turn off…… !”

Justia biting her lip so hard that the blood ran out of it, barely escaped from life and kicked the ground.

“Kieek!”

The spider shot purple liquid from her hideous mouth. The liquid flew through her and landed on Justia’s back, causing it to explode.

“Gp…… !”

A terrible pain ran through her body. It felt like every muscle in her body went numb. The power slowly drained from both legs.

‘No… ….’

I gritted my teeth and tried to run, but my legs wouldn’t listen anymore.

Steel flip.

Justia, who stumbled with her feet twisted, fell face down on her sandy floor.

‘Why… ….’

Even her consciousness began to fade due to the poison that paralyzed her whole body. The spider grew bigger and bigger in her field of vision, which faded and came back.

“Save…… Please… ….”

Tears welled up in Justia’s eyes.

“Anyone…… Help me… ….”

After uttering her desperate final words, she passed out from her pain and fear.

Kiik.

After her giant spider bites her in her mouth, she returns to her rainforest, her home in her own home.

Tens of minutes ago.

The scene of a dinner in full swing on the last night on the island.

“Drink, drink!”

“Drink to die!”

“hahahaha!”

The members of the swordsmanship club had a happy time enjoying dinner while being drenched in high-alcohol wine.

Antonio, the archmage responsible for everyone’s safety, was the same.

“Lord Archmage! Please have a drink from us!”

“Please drink! Please drink!”

“Tsk. As for alcohol, the farther away it is, the better.”

The female seniors in the swordsmanship club trembled and offered drinks, but Antonio kept his head in a formal manner.

“Let’s just have one drink.”

He gulped down a glass of wine.

“This is such a good drink! Give me another drink!”

My eyes widened, and I threw away the formal attitude I had always adhered to.

“You said you just had one drink… ….”

“Come on!”

“…… Yes.”

The problem was that the wine brought from the swordsmanship club was quite high quality.

Antonio admired the wine that sticks to his mouth the more he drank it, said that the pretty female students would pour him a drink, put down the barrel and enjoyed the dinner.

“Magic is profound but beautiful! It can be said that it is like drinking wine while looking at such a beautiful night sky!”

“I see, Archmage!”

“I don’t know much about magic, but it’s amazing!”

“Chuck.”

That was when Antonio smiled and threw his head back.

Shoot ah—

It started to rain suddenly.

“No, dear.”

“Oh, what a waste.”

The faces of those who enjoyed a pleasant dinner hardened.

“If this is the case, should I fold everything?”

“I’ll have to fold it up and go into the tent and wait for the rain to stop.”

“Ha. It cuts off like this here.”

They clicked their tongues at the weather not conducive to dinner and set out to clean the grill.

At that time, Antonio’s resolute cry resounded.

“I can’t do that!”

He stood tall and stood like a mountain.

“The Archmage!”

“Are you sure you want to use magic?”

A light of hope rose in the eyes of the students who had sunk in darkness. Their hope soon became a reality.

Kurrr!

Dozens of pillars of earth rose from the ground to a sufficient height, then spread widely into the air to create a giant umbrella.

Everyone’s mouths dropped wide at the amazing prowess shown by Archmage Antonio.

“Let’s start the dinner again.”

Antonio grinned and held up a bottle of wine instead of a staff. Everyone burst into cheers at the sight.

“Long live Archmage Antonio!”

“Hooray! Hurray!”

“Chuck.”

Antonio, drunkenly, leaned back and laughed.

‘Everyone is so happy that it went crazy.’

Eugene quietly ate meat in a corner and looked around.

Everybody was enjoying their last supper, singing and dancing.

Antonio, who was always solemn, seemed to be in a relaxed mood because it was the last day, and he was laughing and hanging out with the students.

As I kept looking at that scene, I felt that way.

‘I wouldn’t notice even if one person was gone?’

Beyond noticing, nobody seemed to be interested in the first place.

‘Is this an opportunity?’

Eugene’s eyes sparkled. This was the situation he had longed for.

‘I can finally practice.’

Eugene decided to refrain from drinking after the day he met the Prime Minister. Silian offered him wine several times, but he refused to drink it. His mind was very clear.

It was as easy as lying down and eating rice cakes to escape the eyes of drunken wanderers.

Since it was raining heavily, there was no better place to hide and move around.

‘It’s training. Training.’

Eugene had not been able to practice for six days. His body was itchy and he couldn’t stand it.

Eugene quietly bowed, slipped out of the dinner, and entered the rain forest.

Shoot aaa—

She listened to the heavy rain and it had been several minutes since she had walked through the rain forest.

‘This should be fine.’

In the rain forest full of trees, a large space appeared.

Surereung.

Eugene immediately drew her sword.

Quagaga River!

‘It even strikes lightning.’

It was raining heavily, and even thunder and lightning struck from time to time.

‘The harsher the natural environment, the higher the efficiency of training.’

Cheese.

Eugene blew brain energy into her sword and began her training.

Craft!

The sword moves and the scattering brain energy fluctuates more than usual. It was not unreasonable even if he showed a dominant spirit.

‘Is it because it rained a lot?’

Before, when it rained, the brain qi would fluctuate even more strongly.

‘It seems to fluctuate even more depending on the concentration of magical power.’

Shall we go to a place where the concentration is thicker?

The harder the brain qi shook and moved, the higher the difficulty of the training. It meant that the quality of training would go up.

‘Let’s go.’

Eugene moved her steps along the place where her magical power was concentrated. This was not an easy task even for those with a good sense of magical power, but for Eugene, it was as light as breathing.
