44 – Being precious to you

Finmana Forest.

In the front yard of the cave, Maya is stepping on the steps and practicing basic swordsmanship.

-Yap! Yap!

Maya raised her short hand and unleashed her swordsmanship to near perfection.

At first glance, it looks like a child’s joke, but if you look closely, all the movements that need to be performed are being performed.

‘I have mastered all the basic steps.’

Looking at Altair’s book, I checked Maya’s movements once in a while.

I taught Maya all the basic movements.

Now I can go anywhere and call it a decent article.

Of course, we still have a long way to go.

To rise to the same level as me in my previous life.

Maya constantly demonstrated swordsmanship. As time passed, Maya’s upper body turned red, and when her body started to tremble, I stopped Maya.

“This is the best stimulus. All right, stop.”

At my words, Maya dropped her sword. Maya groaned and she sprinted towards me.

-Ssabuniyiim!

Without even thinking about wiping the sweat, Maya ran to me and hugged me.

I don’t care about cleanliness because training clothes get wet anyway.

I feel that the distance with my disciples is too close.

-I worked hard today too!

“Yes.”

Maya looked up at me and her eyes twinkled.

I know that Maya works hard. She’s growing up dozens of times faster than me in my previous life.

I had a different idea.

It’s because learning the sword is fun for this guy. Conversely, if the sword is not fun, there is a chance that she will not work as hard as she is now.

A kind of anxiety.

If you don’t work hard, the long-awaited disciple will be useless.

That’s why I wanted a strong motivation…….

Thinking about it, Maya’s older sister comes to mind. Maya liked her dragon, her sister.

I asked Maya.

“Do you like your sister?”

-Your sister? Yes Best in the world!

Maya answers right away.

Even though it’s already a dead dragon, is it the best thing in the world?

It can be a strong motivator.

The amount I got from selling the corpse of a dragon called sister is 500 million points. Because packing and shipping a dragon’s body takes a long time, the dragon’s body is still in the mercenary guild.

If you cancel the transaction of the dragon corpse and get it back, it costs 530 million points including the cancellation fee.

It’s obviously not a small amount of money… In order to motivate Maya, wouldn’t it be better to bring her sister’s corpse and make a grave?

Innumerable swordsmen in previous lives used to gain strong motivation in front of their family graves.

In front of the tombstones of family members who died in the disaster.

‘…… Whoa.’

Breath invisibly.

Since you can make any amount of money with Maya’s horns, you can think of the immediate large expenditure as an investment.

I saw Maya again.

“I will cut off her horns.”

– Yep!

Maya answered without question.

After cutting off Maya’s horn, I infused her magic power to restore her horn.

…… It’s easy to make money.

Late night, Professor Cynthia’s private residence.

Cynthia was sitting on the sofa in her bedroom, talking seriously.

The opponent of the story is Cynthia’s henchman and informant Hecate.

Hecate was on one knee at a distance from Cynthia.

“Hecate, are you saying that Evan only stays in the Gravity Room except for classes these days?”

“Yes, lady.”

Cynthia told Hecate to keep an eye on Evan. Evan might unleash the Winter Queen’s sword, and someone else might see it.

However, since Evan demonstrated his swordsmanship to Cynthia, he never once unfolded the Winter Queen’s sword.

“…… Okay.”

Cynthia felt her mood cool.

She should have been relieved that Evan didn’t open the Winter Queen’s sword, but she felt strangely regretful.

“But… Because you work hard.”

As a professor, she should be happy that her students are working hard, but she didn’t.

Cynthia kept thinking that Evan wouldn’t open the Winter Queen’s sword.

‘If you tell me…… I’d let them unfold in front of me.’

Cynthia bit her lip lightly.

Could it be that she lacked expression of herself?

From noble mtl dot com

My heart is heavy.

“……….”

Cynthia turned her head and looked out of her window.

The bright moon is shining lightly. Cynthia closed her eyes and calmed her heart.

Now is the time to talk productively, rather than thinking bad thoughts.

“Hecate, I asked you. What do you think about professors giving peperos to students?”

Tomorrow is November 11th.

A day when men and women exchange peperos freely. Mostly lovers give and receive each other, but there are also students who sprinkle friendship pepero.

‘Evan has no friends. Because she didn’t have anyone stored in her device’s address book.’

A few days ago, Cynthia exchanged device addresses with Evan and checked Evan’s address book.

Cynthia is currently alone in his address book.

She knew his friendship wasn’t good, but it was bad.

How about giving her a pepero? He has been doing a lot for Cynthia lately, such as being active in the research club.

So Cynthia wondered what it would be like to give a pepero, she wanted to be confirmed.

“…… Well.”

Hecate evaded the answer uncharacteristically.

To be honest, objectively speaking, I wanted to stop the lady because I would suffer from a pointless scandal.

Hecate understood Cynthia’s feelings.

‘The lady wants to give Evan a pepero.’

As Gramberge’s informant, Hecate knew this.

Apart from whether a boy named Evan gets along with the lady.

‘The reason the young lady dared to tell me was because she wanted to gain a justification.’

If you just give a pepero to a student, you’ll feel ashamed.

Hecate knew more than she thought that Cynthia was a girl.

“…… Handing over pepero with words of encouragement?”

“A word of encouragement? Like eating pepero and focusing on schoolwork?”

“Yes.”

Good idea.

If you just give me a pepero, your intentions will be suspicious, but if you say words of encouragement, you can protect your side as a professor.

Cynthia opened her eyes.

“Exactly.”

“Fortunately, you are here during the transaction cancellation period. The transaction has been cancelled. I’ll pack it in the guild’s external warehouse by tonight, so you can take it with you. Now, the warehouse password is a magic pattern…….”

As soon as my morning meditation was over, I stopped by the Mercenary Guild Alulim Branch to get my sister Yong’s body back.

Fortunately, the dragon’s corpse was before delivery, so I was able to get it from the Alulim branch.

As expected, 530 million points.

To hear that I canceled the transaction made Mila, the guild employee, look bad, but to hear that I was selling more dragon horns made her face brighten again.

Perhaps it’s because each of these transactions is the result of the guild’s employees.

“Please.”

I heard the password to the external warehouse from Mila and left the mercenary guild.

“Yes, please stop by again.”

Mila saw me off with her cat ears pricked up.

I hope this becomes an investment for the future.

I went back to the academy.

Kong! Kong!

On the way back, I noticed a rude person with a hound.

A man in a blue hood dragged by a leash attached to a hound.

“Sorry, sorry. I’ll be gone for a while~”

I am asking for your understanding around the extension.

Was Robert the teleportation wizard?

A wizard led by Selene. He remembers seeing it a few times when moving to Humbaba central tournament. Sure enough, Selene was staring at her surroundings with her arms folded behind her.

‘I’ll waste my time if I run into them.’

I refuse to waste my time on useless things.

I deliberately avoided them.

But the hound came toward me, howling.

“Uh uh… Why is this here? What?”

The hounds stopped in front of me, sniffing. I deliberately took a different route, but I ran into troublesome things. Robert and Selene found me and blinked their eyes.

“Oh… Are you Evan? Hello.”

“Why are you here?”

“…… It is my freedom to roam the streets near the academy.”

“Well, that’s the case. But why are they barking at you?”

Selene frowned in disapproval and looked at the hounds.

“If there is no business, I will go.”

Recently, every time I ran into Selene, I only heard useless things.

Suddenly, I’ve almost paid off my debt to this guy.

Selene raised her right hand.

“Oh, wait a minute. I think the dogs came to you because you smelled like herbs!”

“…… You must have a lot of time.”

“Hey, I don’t have much time, do I? That’s it. The kid I’m looking for will smell like herbs. I’m looking for it by releasing a hound to see if it’s in the academy. Hounds catch the scent of herbs. Smells very well. I’ll give you a pepero if you just find it…….”

Saying that, Selene held up her notepad with her other hand.

It seems that all the people who are similar to the person you are looking for are recorded because there are several names written on them.

Looking for someone to give you courtesy.

I’m looking for someone who seems plausible, but I’m not interested.

“That’s information you don’t want to know at all.”

“Hey! Anyway, hounds came to you, so you smell like herbs too. I don’t know why it’s from you…….”

Selene looked at me blankly.

A puzzled expression.

The reason I smell herbs is because of the handkerchief Selene gave me the other day.

I wonder if it’s me that this guy is looking for.

She has no intention of setting the tone for a useless romance game.

I wonder if that will help my swordsmanship skills.

That’s not going to happen.

“I will go.”

“…… Well, it can’t be him.”

Selene looked at me closely and shook her head.

Selene saw Evan walking away.

She just took a closer look at Evan’s body and thought she had a similar body type to the ‘Moonlight’ she was looking for.

‘…… But no matter how you look at it, Evan’s body is terrible.’

It was the moonlight that overwhelmed Shias.

The physical ability must have exceeded A, but there’s no way he’s not trained like that.

So Selene shook her head and opened the way for Evan.

Besides Evan, there are many people who have a similar body shape to Moonlight, so it must be someone else.

Early evening.

I took my sister’s corpse and headed for the Finmarna Forest.

The dragon’s corpse was so large that it dragged on the floor, but the mercenary guild packed it tightly so the body was not damaged.

‘Come to think of it, it feels like only awards are given.’

It feels like giving Maya a prize.

It is said that swordsmen in the previous life alternately gave prizes and whips to their apprentices.

Of course, Maya works hard, so she doesn’t need a whip yet.

If you don’t work hard, you don’t know if it goes wrong.

I don’t think about it now. Maya just works hard on her sword, and I hope she will help me with my swordsmanship in the future.

I went to the cave where Maya is.

A cave deep in the dense forest.

Maya was holding her sword in her front yard, gasping for her breath.

At first glance, Maya has reached the highest level of stimulation.

Now it feels like Maya knows the reference point I want.

– Huh?

As I got closer, Maya widened her eyes and painted a smile on her lips.

– Master!

“All right. Use healing magic now. In moderation so as not to release muscle tension.”

– Yep!

Maya cast her healing magic. I dragged the dragon’s corpse to the front yard and caught my breath.

It’s okay to carry something heavy and run.

After recovering her body, Maya showed interest in the large packaging box I brought with her.

Maya squatting in front of a shipping box poking her finger.

– Sabu-nim, what is this?

“It is your sister’s corpse.”

-…… Uh?

Maya’s body stiffens.

I opened the box.

The dragon’s corpse appears intact. The mercenary guild treated it with special magic and coated it with a hard material.

Maya turned her head and looked up at me, opening her mouth like a goldfish.

-This…… Why……… ?

“You said that unnie likes dragons. Her sister dragon must have been precious to you. If so, I will hold a funeral.”

When I visited Count Berman, Maya had hidden her sister’s body under her bed.

As if a tomb had been built.

Maybe this guy wants her sister’s grave.

To honor her memories with her sister.

“Make a grave.”

I found a place with strong ground near the cave.

Maya followed behind me and spoke to me with a stupid face.

-When… when…… Did you bring her sister’s body?

“Today.”

– Why…… Why?

“I told you. I would have said you were precious to me.”

The reason graves are a strong motivator for swordsmen is that the beings buried in them are precious.

It’s not my taste, but swordsmen with these supports were strong.

“Is there any place you would like to build a tomb?”

-……….

Maya didn’t answer and grabbed my collar.

A face full of sadness.

The guy said something else with his lips quivering.

-Take my horn…… !

“You sold your horns today. I don’t need money right now.”

Another 140 million points will come in. It will be approximately 390 million points, so there is no need for money right now.

Maya placed her sword in her hand and held my collar with both of her hands as she looked up at me.

A face full of tears.

Maya’s eyes tremble.

-Ssabuniim…….

“Yes.”

-Ahhh… Whoa!

Maya burst into tears.

Shedding tears like chicken droppings, Maya trembled.

I stopped walking.

I don’t remember ever comforting a crying child.

So, do what you can.

I put my hand on top of Maya’s head.

What this guy wanted last time.
