I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

87 – Gift Crane

“…You want me to take you under my command?”

“Yes.”

She was momentarily perplexed at Ezerina’s request, which she hadn’t thought of at all. When I asked back without raising it above her face, Ezerina nodded her head very firmly.

“Why? If it’s for saving her life, you don’t have to go that far.”

“No. This is certainly to repay the grace of lifesaving… But it is also for my own sake.”

“For yourself?”

“Yes….I want to ‘revenge’ them.”

A flame of resentment was burning in Ezerina’s calm blue eyes as she looked up at me with her deeply bowed head lifted.

“There was no blood connection, but the villagers whom I considered family deep down in my heart… Were murdered so horribly that I can’t bear to speak of them by cheaters who couldn’t even be called the same human beings.”

“…….”

“If Mistiltein-sama hadn’t come… My only remaining family member, Ene, would have been killed like that…”

With her trembling hands, Ezerina carefully touched the hair of her girl, who was soundly asleep on her bed.

“According to the conversation between the head of the cheaters and Miss Steele Tail in that joint, I could see that they were members of an unknown…but very dangerous and powerful group. …There were tens of thousands of me The fact that the captain of the guys you defeated in this group isn’t a very high position in that group, and that Mistiltein-nim is hostile to that group.”

“…….”

Ezerina speaks calmly but with conviction.

She must have been chained up for days, unable to sleep, and exhausted from watching over and over again people like her family die right in front of her eyes. I was surprised in my heart by her strong mental strength, which caught clues about the Demonic Church in a very short conversation.

“If I aimed my sword at them now to get revenge, I would only lose my life without doing any meaningful damage.”

“…….”

With a calm expression as if she was wearing a mask, but her words so despondent that blood leaked from her tightly clenched fists on her knees, I silently nodded her head in affirmation. Did.

Even if it’s her future she who has a mighty power enough to be called the

Spirit of the sky, but the current she is attacking her demon church is literally hitting her rocks with her eggs. Because it is more reckless than

“That’s why I’m asking Mistiltein-nim this request. If even a weakling like me can help Mistiltein even a little… Because.”

“…….”

“… I know that this is an ungrateful request to the lifesaver. But! The black flame of hatred burning deep in her heart cannot be quenched…!”

She is full of guilt for asking such a favor to her benefactor, but her black hatred welling up in her heart, as if unable to contain her cold face, distorted her face so deeply that her forehead touched the floor. He leaned down and said.

“A disposable shield to block enemy attacks is fine. I’ll be happy if you ask me to become a laboratory for testing new magic. I’ll follow any command. So please…! Please do me a favor…!”

“…….”

I look down expressionlessly at Ezerina, who desperately speaks to me in a tragic voice.

“Don’t be stupid.”

─Tack!

“Ugh…?!”

Put Ezerina’s forehead with your finger! It hit hard enough to make a sound.

“Ah…?”

“Whoa…”

I sighed and looked down at her as she looked up at me with her dazed expression as she unconsciously touched the area where she had been hit.

“Do I look like a person with such a broken personality in your eyes? If I treat you as you say, how am I any different from those demon cult bastards? And you treat your own life so lightly? Are you insane? If you take your life If you lose, what do you think your younger brother will feel about being thrown into the world alone and losing his only remaining family member?”

“Ah, ugh…That’s…”

At the words I quickly poured out, Ezerina munched her mouth, her eyes shaking as if her head, which had boiled with anger against them, had completely cooled down.

After that, I shot her for a few more minutes, and I said a word of her sneak to her, who was listening to her quietly with her little doubt and gloomy expression.

“I’ll take you as a subordinate.”

“Yes…… Yes?!”

Ezerina stared at me in surprise at my words spoken to her in an atmosphere where she seemed unlikely to accept her request.

I, who had been negatively responding to her request until now, suddenly changed my attitude like flipping a coin and accepted her request…… It would be fortunate in her situation, but bewildered not knowing the reason.

“But like you said, I won’t treat it as a one-time thing.”

“But…!”

“Yes. At your current level, it won’t be very helpful in fighting the Demonic Cult. It might be a small job of an intermediate level or lower, but when dealing with someone with more skill than that, it’s definitely holding me back.”

“…Yes, so me…!”

“So, improve your skills.”

“……Yes?”

I looked at Ezerina, who was clearly embarrassed, and raised the corners of my mouth into her.

‘As a subordinate…… Much better than originally planned.’

In the first place, I was thinking of raising Ezerina’s power whether she was her subordinate or not.

Ezerina, she is not even 5 years old in the game, so she has the potential to become the 8th bishop of the Demon Order.

In terms of the character tier table in the strategy guide, it is equivalent to or above the top tier 1 character.

Her original plan was to use her position as the lifesaver to forcibly raise her powers in order to prevent her from being captured by the Demon Church again, but…

‘If you follow me directly from the other side, you’ll become stronger much faster than if you force it. If you do well, you might get a lot of power.’

I looked at her with her anticipation and then turned and walked towards her door.

Ezerina calls me in a panicked voice.

“Mistiltein! What should I do now…?”

“First of all, take a good rest and recover the energy and stamina you lost while you were captured. I will come back in the evening.”

“Yes, I understand. But where are you going without taking a break…?”

I answered her question in my mind, looking at the bright sunlight rising over the horizon through the window of the room.

‘I have to go to school.’

I was going to school calmly even though I risked my life an hour ago, wouldn’t I be a great honor student?

******

“Haaa…”

I returned to the dormitory and after only sleeping for about 10 minutes, I lay face down on my desk and let out a tired yawn.

It is because even with the power of a monster-like stamina that easily surpasses modern humans and the [Sleep B] Gift that increases the relaxation efficiency of sleep by 10 times, the fatigue of the death-dealing struggle that was almost life-threatening could not be relieved.

‘In addition, there are side effects of .’

The result of fighting for tens of minutes after using On all 4 stats excluding Sense and Magic.

Currently, my Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Stamina ratings have temporarily dropped by ‘2 levels’.

‘This is almost the same level as when I entered the school. Rather, my agility is lower than when I entered school. It should be resolved in the next two days or so.’

Release Limits is a very powerful ability, but as powerful as it is, the side effects were not serious.

‘It makes it possible to defeat an opponent of a higher level, but instead, if you abuse it without thinking, even an opponent of a lower level can die… You could say it’s a high-risk & super-high return ability.’

As I realized the usefulness and danger of , I was yawning once again.

“Hello, Seonwoo!”

Koo-wook-

A green fairy with the scent of a refreshing forest clung to my back.

“Huh? Seonwoo? Did you not get a good night’s sleep? You look very tired.”

“Oh, yes. Maybe it’s because I practiced too late yesterday, but I don’t think the fatigue has gone away yet.”

“Sunwoo is very sincere~”

I couldn’t say that I was secretly working as a mercenary after finishing my classes at the academy, so I gave an excuse I’ve been using lately.

First of all, since I was the chief, I was able to use the top-notch personal training room (which requires about 500,000 Valhalla points), since all facilities in the academy are level 1. Thanks to that, no one thought it was strange even if I couldn’t contact them after the evening.

“Then, shall I present you with a sapling of a tree that exudes an aroma that helps you recover from fatigue? It would be helpful to place it in one corner of the room~”

“I’ll be grateful if you give it to me, Kriesia.”

Even though I can only spend an hour or so a day in the dormitory.

I expressed my gratitude by stroking Krisia’s hair, which was almost medaling behind me.

“hehehe~”

Crisia smiling, wiggling her long ears.

Elfs, and high elves, who can be said to be the royal family of elves, cling to men’s backs without hesitation… If an elf outside the academy sees it, it’s an absurd situation to the extent that they doubt their own eyes and put it in the washing machine…….

“Oh, again. Those two.”

“Seeing her doing that for almost a month, I’ve gotten used to it now… But the first time I saw her, I was so surprised that all her hair fell out? That’s enough to claim damages.”

“…You never existed, you marble head. This isn’t a robbery at all.”

“That’s right. I’m a hair robber. Give me all your hair.”

“Oops! I really picked this bastard!”

Class A students were used to her clinging to Lee Seon-woo at all times, so far from her surprise, she just glanced at her and continued chatting with her other friends.

“Nya-nyang, isn’t Seonwoo-nyang too addicted to training? I want to play with him, but I can’t contact him after dinner Nyan!”

As if I had heard the story with Crisia, Nice sat down next to me and puffed out her cheeks in displeasure.

“hahahaha, I’m sorry, Nice. When I’m training, I turn off my communicator to concentrate. But if you call me in advance, I’ll leave right away.”

“Nyaha! I got the word! Nyang! If so, make time this weekend Nyan♪”

“Ahh! I want to play with Seonwoo too~! Ms. Miris thinks so too!”

“Yeah, hey, I already went out with Mr. Seonwoo a few days ago…”

“It’s fast!? Pink is erotic as expected!!! It’s just as the elder grandfather said!!!”

“Krisia?! What are you talking about!?”

Nice changed from a dissatisfied expression to a mischievous smile as if she had been caught by my words, Crisia turned high-tension, and even Miris who was swept away by Crisia’s tension.

When I was chatting with her friends for a long time like that.

“Huhnyang?”

Nice tilted her head as if she saw something suspicious, then moved closer to me and whispered in my ear.

“Sunwoonyang. Did something happen with Icicle by any chance?”

“Huh? Suddenly, what does that mean?”

“I’m saying this because it seems like Icicles have been staring at Seonwoonyang from a while ago. It’s like that Icycle who usually doesn’t have that much interest in other people.”

Blinking at Nice’s question, I turned his head slightly and looked at the window where Sui Sickle always sat…

“…….”

I made eye contact with the silver eyes that were looking straight at me.

‘Yes… ? Something seems out of the ordinary….’

I’m Icicle… No, I felt a little strange when I met Suu’s eyes.

It was because it seemed that something very faint was flickering in her emotionless silver eyes, which had not always felt any emotion since she entered the school.

It must have been about 10 seconds since we made eye contact like that.

“…….”

Sueuk-

This eye contact ended as Suu turned his head out of the window first.

“Seonwoo nyang? What happened?”

“Oh, yes. I caught a scarf that was blown away by the wind last night and returned it…”

“Hmm…? I wonder if he was interested in that…? It doesn’t seem like something…”

Nice tilts his head.

What ended Nice’s troubles was the sound of the classroom door opening.

Drreuk-

“Hmm. Looks like you’re all set.”

Professor Eleanor Faizen entered the classroom with bright red hair flowing like a blazing flame.

Then, with the wave of magical power created by snapping her fingers, Prof. Elini opened her mouth, drawing the attention of the students who had been chattering without noticing that the professor had arrived.

“Everyone pay attention. I’m going to start the lecture on gifts from now on. Professor Bon has given his first lecture in almost a month due to circumstances. Instead, I’ll be progressing quite quickly, so don’t miss it.”
