Chapter 7.11 (2/2)

Normally, a summoner would form a contract with the four standard elementals. Then, he/she would form a contract with more abnormal elementals like the elemental of thunder, metal, wood, etc.

But Lumian managed to contract a rare dark elemental.

Those who knew him well made fun of him for being even darker than he alredy was.

And, after this, he met professor Nicerwin and contracted an even rarer elemental. He managed to form a contract with a shadow elemental, whose contractors could be counted by one hand in the entire continent.

Then, with his dark, villainous look, he normally performed his task as a secretary.

He wasn’t even trying to look normal. He really was an individual who could be addressed as “Student A” in any story. Because of this, he seldom had friends, despite his ability and talent.

And the reason why he came all the way over here was simple.

He was jealous.

And angry.

But he laughed it off when the others said that they’d kill Nerkia.

Because he was so normal. Because he was just jealous. Ah, because he abandoned the entire school just for a girl. He was just here to punch Nerkia just once.

He had just decided to give up if he got caught like this. In the end, Lumian was a person who thought to congratulate his friend after this for getting a girlfriend.

Unlike the other people in the group, he was a total normie.

The only one who had thought of congratulating Nerkia even a little bit.

But this was all before the purple-haired girl spoke.

“He’s… he’s just doing this to get approval from [us]!”

Us.

Us she says.

That was exactly what she said.

If he wasn’t mentally ill, the girl had clearly said “us”.

Makin, his friend, had answered a question that would clear up everything in his mind for him.

“…Us? US?! How many more are there!?”

“If I were to count all of them…”

If you were to count them?

“F, four?”

One. Two. Three. Four.

Lumian tried counting by folding each of my fingers. He put up his other hand, and tried to count the girlfriends he’s had in the past.

Zero, zilch, zip, nada, nothing.

It’s empty. No fingers could be folded. All five fingers were standing up straight.

-I understand your feelings.

Lumian felt a dark hand reach out to his shoulder.

It was a miracle. Also a beginning of a new story.

It spoke to him quietly.

-Are you angry?

Lumian was angry.

Because he was simple. Because he was normal. Because he thought of Nerkia the most. Because of this, the feeling of anger hit Lumian harder than anything.

-Right. He betrayed you. He betrayed you, and the school.

Maybe this had to be done. Maybe this was inevitable. Even in this situation, Lumian tried to understand Nerkia. Even though he looked shady, even though he couldn’t get along with others. But even so, Lumian tried to trust Nerkia.

Because of this.

“This is making me even madder?”

-Right. It’s maddening. But you have no power. In the first place, you are outnumbered.

Then, he understood. The owner of this power was not the elemental of darkness he contracted with, nor the elemental of shadow. It was the strongest elemental he had ever seen. Perhaps the only one that could compete against this elemental was the lord of water that professor Muam possessed.

-I’ll give oyu strength, angered one.

“The price for that is?”

-Ahh, your anger that has managed to captivate me is enough.

The strength that he felt on his shoulders began to spread all across his body. It wrapped around him, then loosened. The process repeated several times. Lumian made a smile that would’ve surprised those who knew him. Then, he spoke.

“Good. I, Lumian Lekein, will entrust this anger to you.”

-Kuhahaha! Good, it’s been 7000 years since my last contract. Treat me well. My name is Wrath. I am one of the seven sins, Wrath itself! I am the most primal of the elemental kings, the king of emotion!

At the same time, an invisible hand a.s.saulted the students of Arucia.

“Ah… what the h.e.l.l. I’m getting mad all of the sudden.”

“What, you have a problem with me or something?”

“You think you know everything just because you’re older than me?”

Clang.

The students of Arucia began to fight amongst themselves. This was the power of wrath. Just by spreading anger all around him, one could make armies fight amongst themselves!

It was a power that truly could not be stopped.

This was an event that proved the existence of elementals of emotion, and also the event that managed to put the alliance that centered around Arucia to its knees.
