11. Not a myth, but a legend (11)
#13 Their story: A certain student council president’s story II
“Coming from someone from a shit household?!”
“You’re getting cocky for a mere junior?”
“You, I always hated you, you know that!”
“So what if you’re a senior?”
Just why did it come to this…
All of a sudden, the other students began raising their hackles against each other, and when one person pulled their sword out, the others pulled out their respective weapons and started fighting each other.
“What the heck just happened… aghhh…”
I didn’t know why. But all of a sudden I started to get angry as well.
“You damn small fry, can you not hear your student council president?!”
Just as I was about to draw my own sword and show these louts the power of the president!
“Uwaaak?!”
The floor disappeared.
“What the? What’s going on?!”
“That’s what I want to ask, damn it! Someone’s about to die over here, so can’t you get your ass moving?”
Something shoved my butt upwards, and all of a sudden I found myself flying back up towards the surface.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
“Haah, haah…”
I flew through the air for a brief moment, but my body was one that had been honed in martial arts for years!
Although I did scream, my landing at least was perfect, and when I turned around after landing, I saw, caked in dirt, was the Yugrasia student council president, Nerkia.
“Die.”
“You too?!”
And the moment I saw him, for some reason the desire to kill him began to boil.
At the very least this brat’s death is just, to the point even the world wants him dead!
And just as I was about to stab him in the name of justice.
“Kuhk?!”
“Shut up and listen for the time being.”
All of a sudden my eyes met the floor.
Before I even realised what had happened, Nerkia had mounted my back as I stared dumbly back up at him.
Even if I wasn’t in my right mind due to this unknown feeling, I was still Arucia’s student council president!
As the president of the holy land for all swordsmen, where the empire’s, nay, the entire continent’s finest bodies honed themselves, to think I would be pinned down by a summoner!
This was inconceivable. This was all… part of Nerkia’s plot!
“Die, die, die, Nerkia!”
“No seriously, I get that rage has spread out everywhere, but why the heck is that every single person that sees me wants to kill me?”
The gaze with which he looked down on me was nothing short of humiliating.
As I thought, if I didn’t kill him now…
“Listen up, Kiir. Right now you’ve been hit by a mental attack. You normally didn’t have these feelings against me, right?”
Mental attack? I didn’t normally have these feelings?
“Not really, I’ve been wanting to kill you for a long time now?”
“Does this world only have people that want to kill me?”
As Nerkia screamed, that filled me even more with the conviction that he needed to be killed as quickly as possible.
“Anyways, it’s the enemy that’s making you say what you normally kept bottled in! He’s using an spirit of wrath to control your emotions!”
“Wrath… it doesn’t sound like a bad idea to just give into the wrath and kill you?”
“It is bad! It’s plenty bad! No, before that your own students are fighting each other as well, you know? At this rate, Arucia will be routed!”
“That’s… problematic…”
I regained my reasoning at the word ‘routed.’
If we were completely routed like this, we would lose pathetically to Yugrasia.
Just what did we make an alliance with Marcis for, for what did we cooperate with Nerkia for!
“Your death… will be suspended… for now… although it’s a crying shame…”
“Hey, did you have to add that on at the end? Weren’t we on the same team?”
No. You are the enemy of men.
I am leaving you alive for now because I need you, but you are an absolute evil that must be eliminated someday.
“Damn it, I thought only Yugrasia was abnormal, but everyone else except for me is abnormal!”
No, if the entire world is abnormal and you are the only normal one, can you truly call the world abnormal?
I think it’s more correct to say you’re the abnormal one in a normal world?
“Yes, yes.”
But first, I needed to support this asshole with our strongest forces.
Although it pissed me off, but for now… for now!
“Then, what do we have to do?”
“We need to take people out of the Spirit King of Wrath’s zone of influence. And to make the rage effect ineffective, it would be best to move individually.”
“Alright…”
I nodded, then I embued mana into my voice and shouted.
“Retreat!”
And to my retreat command, Arucia’s students replied.
“Who the hell are you to order us around!”
“So what if you’re the pres?”
“Retreat my ass, you’re just running away! Do you have any shame as a Arucia student! It’s because this kind of idiot is our pres that our points are in shambles like this!”
Hold it in. Those are the words of students who have lost their reason to mental attacks.
There’s no reason to pay heed to their words.
It’s obvious that they would normally respect and rely on their student council pres…
“That’s why he’d lose his crush the vice-pres to the president of another school!”
“I thought it was suspicious, but he liked her after all!”
“No, from what I know, the Yugrasia pres and our vice-pres knew each other since they were little?”
“I heard as well. They said they’d marry each other when they grew up when they were ten, right?”
“Really, now?”
“Then pres is…”
“Yep, he is. That. A pathetic loser who didn’t read the mood and got in between another couple’s relationship, and lost without even managing to confess.”
“Gaaaaagh! Who was that last asshole? Come out here. Come out like a knight and fight me to the death!”
I take that back. They’re all enemies as well.
And unlike Nerkia who could die after being used, these were enemies I could kill right now!
“Come at me you little sh… kuhk!”
My vision turned blurry, and something smashed into my gut.
“I’m tired, so enough of this already.”
Nerkia’s voice was laden with weariness.
“Take a nap and get your heads back on straight. I’ll deal with them as well.”
That was the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness, and when I came to, most of the Arucia students, including me, had returned back to our base.
And that day, another legend was added to Arucia.
Never piss off the Yugrasia student council president.
#14 Their story: Risen de Roa’s story.
“Damn it, did it fail?”
After defeating the Spirit King of Lightning, I threw Mystletainn numerous times into the hole that Nerkia had supposedly dug himself into, but it didn’t feel like Nerkia was dead.
“He’s alive, isn’t he?”
“Survive at all costs. That is Yugrasia, after all.”
