The Only Male Student in the Academy

053. Kill me (4)

“Looks like you’re finally coming, Ms. Marie.”

Elpis speaks to Marie across the table.

She speaks in a friendly voice, but Marie doesn’t respond. She just stared blankly at the cookies and tea on the table.

Seeing that, Elpis starts laughing.

“I called her by her first name without realizing it. How about it? It’s okay if I call her Miss Marie, right?”

“……Yes.”

“I did a lot of research on Miss Marie, like her birthplace, her relationship with Miss Rose Eiffel-Tane, and many other things.”

“…….”

Marie was out of her mind.

It’s kind of hazy.

She feels like she’s dreaming. She has trouble controlling herself, so she just leans hard against the back of her chair.

I don’t even know how things are going right now, and I’m so dizzy that even thinking about it bothers me.

“Does Miss Marie like her sister?”

Elpis asked.

That question sounds exceptionally clear.

“Yes, I like it…”

Her older sister was her own half-body.

She had been together all her childhood, and she thought that they would always be together.

But she didn’t expect to part like that.

She wanted to meet her all the time.

She wanted to see her again and have fun together like before.

Isn’t that why she heard the news that her older sister was going to be admitted to Philea Academy, and she applied there?

“Actually, you hated her sister, didn’t you?”

Elpis laughs.

Like the devil.

No.

It is already evil.

“Miss Rose has always been more capable than Miss Marie, right? She must have said from a young age that her next lord would be her older sister, right?”

… ….

“The reason why the Marquis of Eiffeltain took Miss Rose was because Miss Rose was superior to Miss Marie. And look at the current situation. Miss Rose is in class A, second in grade, but Miss Mary is in class B, right?”

……… ….

“She never really hated her sister, did she?”

My body is hot.

It’s hot like burning on fire.

Pain like melting flesh.

This pain is the proof of being alive.

Even if I want to approach you, can I stay by your side in such an ugly way?

A flame that burns itself, burns everything around it, and eventually burns you too.

It is a flame that will never be allowed to stand by your side.

“Something like an older sister…”

I wish I didn’t have an older sister.

Only then did Marie realize. The identity of this heat that is heating up the body.

The name of this flame is inferiority.

After that, I waited endlessly for Lucius to come.

I was worried that Elpis would find out on the way, but fortunately that didn’t happen.

Since the boss room is larger than I thought, I was able to hide somehow.

Above all, it is because Elpis is currently weakened.

[Rose] “They said that only the ‘skin’ of Elphis Bamir was left where Elfir Bamir should be.”

[Lucius] “Leather? Leather?”

[Rose] “Elpis Bamir was actually a monster.”

[Rose] “It was a monster that wore human skin and pretended to be human…”

We’ll have that conversation later.

Elpis Bamir is not human.

It is a monster that came from outside the floating island.

It is not easy for a monster to enter the academy pretending to be a human.

In order to re-enter the academy, you have to go through quarantine, and above all, because there is security spread throughout this floating island by the principal of the academy.

So, when a monster comes in from outside, the security system reacts, and the fact is known to the principal.

Even so, the reason Elpis was able to invade without incident was because her function as a monster was deliberately weakened.

‘… Even so, the 4th year weapon combat department ranked 3rd.’

If I unlock all of my abilities as a monster, I will never be able to win.

Fortunately, there will be no confrontation with Elpis Bamir.

The purpose of Elpis Bamir is to unlock the seal of the Faol Dungeon.

To be precise, it would be to ‘borrow Tia’s power’ to unlock the Faol Dungeon.

“Marie!”

Rose pops out of the boss room entrance.

Lucius and his party appeared as if following him.

“You’re finally here.”

Elpis stood up leisurely from her seat.

“I am very glad that the message was delivered to you.”

“Really? I don’t really like it because we seem to be playing into your hands, but Elpis Bamir-senpai.”

As if to protect her juniors, Lapis Car steps forward.

They look relaxed with each other.

However, neither side is off guard.

Lapisca is the head of the entire third year, and is one of the best in the academy.

As long as her opponent isn’t Er Ah, it’s said that anyone can give up in front of Lapiska.

Lapisca couldn’t help but be wary of Elpis.

Obviously, Elpis’ skills are inferior, but she must feel that that is not all.

Lapisca’s intuition as an adventurer is the correct answer.

That’s why she doesn’t move.

Also, Elpis doesn’t come forward as if he’s uncomfortable dealing with Lapisca.

“You’re nice, Ms. Lapisca. You still call me ‘Senior’.”

“There won’t be many opportunities to be called seniors in the future, right? If you understand, release junior Marie Ruhelif.”

“Of course I have to release it.”

Elpis snaps her fingers.

Then, flames began to rise from Mary’s body.

You must have experienced that phenomenon many times before.

Marie became a phoenix.

“…!”

Rose’s actions were swift.

How much did she expect that Mary would become a phoenix? She immediately cast her spell to which she reacted immediately.

The way to deal with Phoenix is simple. All you need to do is put out the fire quickly before the host burns to death.

So Rose acted quickly, and her judgment was never wrong.

If this were a normal situation, it would have been.

Marie is an ice magician.

“.”

A large ice shield formed in front of Marie’s eyes.

As soon as Rose’s Touched Marie’s , It rapidly froze, resulting in the ice shield becoming even stronger.

As it is, Marie pours her magical energy into it.

.

As the ice shield shattered, countless hailstone fragments rained down on Lucius and his party.

“Junior Ron.”

Lapisca was the most calm in this situation.

As a third year senior, she has experienced many adventures compared to other first year students. That’s why she was able to keep her cool even in the shocking situation in front of her eyes.

When Lapiska called Ron, Ron suddenly came to his senses.

Ron puts his shield at the forefront and blocks all the fragments of flying hailstones.

Meanwhile, Lapis Cara maintained her vigilance and pointed her gun at Elpis.

Elpis, on the other hand, is smiling.

Leisurely.

“Looks like you’re busy, folks. I’ll have to step back so I don’t get in your way.”

Slowly. Very slowly

Pass by Lucius and the others and leave the boss room entrance you just entered.

Lapiska couldn’t pull her trigger until the end.

Chit.

Her annoyed clicking of her tongue echoed through the room.

“…Lapisca-senpai?”

“It doesn’t suit my temper to just let go. It’s difficult to deal with both, junior Lucius.”

It is clear at a glance that Mari is being dominated by Elpis.

She fights Mari who became a phoenix, she also fights 4th grade weapon combat and 3rd elpis?

It is difficult.

“The guides will come here anyway. Elpis Bamir will take care of it there.”

If you think about it that way, what you need to deal with immediately is Mari, who has become a phoenix.

Unknown Saga Chapter 1, Phase 1 Boss.

Inferior Marie.

The boss battle begins.

“Come!”

Cried Ron.

The flames grow stronger in Mari’s body.

However, no matter how strong the firepower is, Mari’s body maintains its proper shape. Her skin is not melting, and there is no sign of her hair being burned.

That’s why it’s rather sinister.

The fact that the phoenix maintains its human form means that it is a powerful individual among the phoenixes.

Probably, even at this moment, the flames were still burning Marie’s flesh.

Even so, the reason why the skin doesn’t melt is because of the regenerative power that overwhelms it.

An even stronger flame soars.

Like its name, Phoenix, it opened its wings of flame wide and its body floated in the air.

It flies.

Inferior’s first pattern, a charge attack.

Although it approaches very quickly, it was a famous attack with an easy-to-understand pattern because it spreads its wings in advance.

It’s not just me who felt it. It was the same with Lucius and his friends.

Naturally, with a shield in front, Ron jumped forward.

From noble mtl dot com

In an instant, Marie narrowed the distance and collided with the shield.

Ron manages to stop her rushing somehow.

“Marie! Wake up!”

“…….”

Despite Rose’s appeal, Marie doesn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Lucius and Lapisca rush at Marie from both sides.

Lucius swings his sword, and Lapisca pulls out a spear and tries to stab it.

Marie reacted to the attack.

When Marie swings both arms, it becomes a whip of flame and strikes the two.

That, too, would have been expected.

The two deliberately carried out an easy-to-understand attack so that Marie could easily react.

According to the timing, Tia, who was deliberately far away, fires her magic.

“.”

The light flashes and becomes lightning.

A lightning bolt flew towards her Marie, generating countless sparks.

Marie reacted to that as well.

But her hands are already tied to Lucius and Lapiska, so it’s hard to block her.

In the end, Marie has only one choice.

“.”

The ice shield appears again.

The lightning bolts fired by Tia couldn’t pierce that thick ice shield.

Now all that is left is Rose.

Mari had both her arms bound because of Lucius and Lapiska’s attack, and she had already used her magic to block Tia’s attack.

If it’s just this moment, Marie can’t do anything.

Rose casts her magic while gritting her teeth.

It scoops up the steam in her air and traps it in her hand.

She inflates those tiny droplets of water with her magical power to increase her volume, then she compresses them with all her might.

If Ice Elemental is a magic that freezes water and uses it as a weapon, then Water Elemental is magic that uses water itself as a weapon.

Ice is sharpened and used as a knife, or thickly frozen and used as a blunt tool. It’s not that difficult to use as a weapon.

However, if you throw water at it, it just becomes a splash of water, and it doesn’t hurt or itch.

So what is needed is compression.

Precisely, water pressure.

How well you can control this water pressure is the skill of a stormtrooper.

“.”

Compressed and then exploded.

A water cannon hits her head, destroying the momentum of the flame.

Marie has a distressed expression on her face.

Easy to understand, the boss monster ‘Inferior Horse’ is weak against water-attribute attacks.

“I’m not going to step out.”

I muttered as I watched the situation with bated breath.

Marie is stronger than her original. It was because he had grown while going around the dungeon with me.

So ‘S level of completion has increased significantly compared to before, and Wouldn’t have been as powerful as it was originally.

However, the strength of ‘Inferior Marie’ doesn’t come from ice elemental magic anyway.

The ability as a phoenix is the source of the strength of ‘inferior Mary’, and it won’t be a problem if the ice elemental magic grows a little more… It was expected from before.

Still, I was thinking of joining in if Lucius and the others were going to lose.

It seems unlikely.

It won’t be long before the game is over.
