Kenshi o Mezashite Nyūgaku Shitanoni Mahō Tekisei 9999 Nandesukedo! ? Chapter 14 (1/2)

Chapter 14: After one week

From that defeat, one week had pa.s.sed.

Emilia was living like this, completely healthy.

What happened at that time, Emilia had not got a look.

Because she fainted in the middle of it.

According to what she heard from the other instructors, the instance that the sword made out of lightning hits Emilia, a defense barrier was created by Laura’s hands, and protected Emilia, they said.

Lost to a student, and even saved by that student.

If you say something about it, she lost twice in one match.

(What, is that. It was worse than the worst that I expected. What face can I show to stand up in front of students……no, even as an adventurer, and even as a magician, I cannot walk front of anyone. What put all of my heart into it and prepared to fight that super-genius are you saying. Overwhelmed, and protected. I was lightly played around……rather, can someone please kill me!)

Not having the courage to suicide incites the misery.

Not able to do anything, Emilia did not come to school the next day, and covered herself with blankets on her apartment room.

In my age, closing up in my own room.

A 23 years old shedding tears after losing to a 9-year-old.

I’m so miserable I don’t have any worth living.

Although I knew about that, my tears won’t stop.

I’m frustrated. I’m so frustrated I want to tear myself apart.

After fighting her, I understand it very well.

Laura Edmonds is not a target for challenging to or fighting to.

Her level as a living creature is too different.

Even left alone, she will get stronger.

In truth, didn’t she grow during the match.

Although she could understand that, Emilia couldn’t give up with it.

(I’m frustrated……I’m frustrated I’m frustrated I’m frustrated I’m frustrated!!!)

She bit her lips until blood came out.

She was sobbing like a child.

Living like that everyday, the seventh day.

The doorbell rang, and she heard a voice of a girl.

「Uhm, Sensei……are you okay? Everyone, is waiting for you. That’s why……」

It was the one who dropped Emilia to a living h.e.l.l, it was Laura’s voice.

It was a voice that was worried about me to the depth of her heart.

There’s not even a little malice.

But, Emilia didn’t get happy at all.

Instead, all she could do is to bite hard on her pillow to not scream around.

(Go back, please, go back!)

As if her feelings reached her, Laura didn’t say anything after that, and the sound of her footsteps went away.

Thank goodness.

I don’t want to meet anyone right now.

But, then, until when will I be able to go out of this room.

Tomorrow? The next day to that? Next week?

Maybe, I cannot stand up any longer.

I did it with efforts. I did my best. I thought that I had gotten stronger.

All of that were illusions, and Laura was even going to get stronger and stronger. Rather than catching up, the gap between us are opening up.

(How stupid. It’s alright already. I won’t do anything anymore)

Emilia’s hate for herself expanded to its max.

And as if she was waiting for that timing, the second visitor for the day appeared.

「Open up, Emilia. Until when are you planning to skip work?」

This voice. Ahh, I cannot be wrong about it.

It’s the person that I owe my life to.

「Great……Sage-sama……!」

「Calling me that again. We’re working together now right, so call me school head, school head I said」

*Gachari* it sounded.

The lock in the entrance was opened.

Although I put a double lock, physical and magical, both of them were easily have been broken through.

The door opened, and a woman with a silvery-white hair comes in.

Her appearance was around 20 years old. She even looked younger than Emilia.

But in reality, she is a legendary presence who had lived for near 300 years of time.

Having the nickname Great Sage of Beauty, a hero that saved the country by defeating a Majin 130 years before.

The founder of Royal Gyrdorea Adventurer School, and the strongest magician who is still its school head.

Calrotte Gyrdorea.

That G.o.d-like person, came to this apartment.

「School head……I am very sorry, but I don’t want to meet anybody today」

「Saying such child-like things. Come, let me see your face」

Even though Emilia was hiding with sheets on her, the Great Sage peeled that off.

She forcefully made Emilia raise her body although she didn’t want to, and embraced her.

「I was looking at it, the fight with Laura-chan. You, had gotten stronger huh. The first time we met, you were only a little girl who was crying with the sight of a goblin. No, you have gotten stronger even than the time you defeated a dragon three years ago. Look how good you are」

The Great Sage treated Emilia like a child.

No, maybe lower than a child.

She couldn’t tell anything back. Because she lost to a child.

「What look how good is that……I lost in a pathetic way like that, in addition I was saved by the opponent, and I’m living a shameful life……I know all about that. In reality, even School Head is laughing at me right?」

「I guess so. I’m laughing happily to the growth of my disciple. In front of a real genius, how great it was that you did not run away. Seeing that fight, there’s no one that is saying stupid things about you. Because, the people who were boasting that they are going to challenge Laura-chan next, after all, not even one of them challenged her. The only one who fought properly is only you」

「But, I lost……」

「Yes, that’s right. But Isn’t that for better. Next time, you are the challenger. Even if it’s sneak attacks or endurance attack or mind attack, it is forgiven whatever you do. You can fight even not as cleanly. Train, train, and train hard, and you should just fight her again someday. Or are you giving up? Well, that is also your freedom. You’re working as instructor, so it would be troublesome if you skipped work like this」

「……instructor? Is an instructor weaker than a student really needed? What do I have to teach that girl?」
