RATH 87
TL: Eevee
10 We came, e won (12)
21 Their story: A certain student council president’s(2) story
“N, no way…”
“How could this happen…”
“This is i voices caround, who couldn’t believe as unfolding before their eyes
Day 5 of the imperial festival Each event orth 10 points, and three of those events were of amany participants
When we considered that the terrain of the event was a flat plain, we o up against Yugrasia
And e received a Godly draw that had us go up against Mercaria first, we thought our chances were better than ever
Unfortunately, Lady Nerht wouldcapabilities, but even so, after defending against the large scale ic poas considerably depleted
We didn’t have to fight them all
If we could take out the five that represented their hundred, we had a good chance of winning this
Was ere thinking, and so we all charged in, but the unthinkable happened
The beginning of the incident hen a single person carasia’s side
“Who is that?”
“That’s?”
“It’s the Yugrasia student council president! Nerkia, the Ele us could be called my arch-enemy and the enviable… I mean, the casanova of the century, Nerkia
Arucia had less fein with, and yet this est motherfcker of the era who had taken possession of two out of the five most beautiful flowers of the school
“Well now, you hadn’t shown up much this imperial festival, unlike before”
As I, as somewhat familiar with hi out froo yesterdays as well, but our devi… I ht unless it’s an event Lady Nermia is in So what do I call it, I’m a bit backed up?”
What he took out with a smirk, was the item that could determine victory in this event, his o 1v1?”
If that was the case, then I had a decent chance
Nerkia was a troublesoht with every year
Whether I fell first, or whether he would allow ap between us would determine victory
“H away?”
The eneic boic against us, then our casualties would rasia students of late had proven themselves very adept at close coainst while injured
“Not that either”
“Then what is your objective?”
Although I didn’t see hi the holidays, he would coht in front of our faces
But while his save off noas completely different
“Objective? Well”
Each and every one of Arucia’s one hundred students heard loudly and clearly
“Not 1v1, but 1v100”
“What?”
For a second there I didn’t understand what had just said
Not even swordsht against a hundred people all on their lonesoone led to hi hirasia started to beco well lately, don’t you just reek of hubris?”
“You want to go up against all of us on your own? Even against Mercaria, no one would say so ridiculous like that?”
“Are you insane? Or do you siht to Lady Aris?”
No one actually swore because the entire scene was being preserved by e tones of their voices
“Are you serious, Nerkia?”
“Yep It does feel kinda weird because it feels like I’ off, but I’m serious”
As he nodded to my words, he carefully looked over each and every one of the students standing before hioodness, it doesn’t seem like Ari or Rena are here”
“Arietta has entered a solo event, and Lady Rena is participating in a different teaoodness To be honest I didn’t think of what I’d do if I had to fight against those two”
When I saw his genuinely relieved expression, I realised
This boy was serious when he said he was going to fight all of us on his own
That ?”
This is definitely a trap
While the rest of us focused on Nerkia, was Yugrasia going to snipe off our students that they thought e all of our acadeht, then retreat to where an a in wait?
But Nerkia denied everything I was thinking of
“No, no sche like that I just want to know”
Want to know?
“Knohat?”
Atsmile, one that didn’t suit how he norht I was a genius Since I was little, an elf, one who people call a resident of the forest, said I had splendid potential to be a summoner”
All of a sudden, a blue aura started to surround Nerkia
“Lowest-rank spirits…”
Spirits that had only been recently born, that didn’t even have wills of their own
They were the spirits weaker than low-rank spirits, an existence even harder to meet than a low-rank spirit
Because unlike low-rank spirits, eak but still had their oill, lowest-rank spirits e even after I carasia At the end of the holidays of my first year, I was scouted to the student council, in my second year I was a senior member, and in my third year I became president as if it was natural In all seriousness, when you looked at pure talent alone, none of the other students or even any of the teachers could outdo an to reen aura, and behind that, a brown aura fleards hi?”
“No… lowest-rank spirits cannot attack”
Lowest-rank spirits were spirits, yet at the same time they were not
They were a collection of nature’s elements that had formed to become a spirit
Because of that they could exist, but couldn’t attack or defend
“But, they are extremely sensitive to nature”
Low-rank spirits could detect Nerkia’s potential and run to him to make a contract
Because he was a suer
However, lowest-rank spirits don’t even think, let alone take things like that into consideration
In other words, that h in Nerkia’s potential to cling to him
“But this year, after Professor Nicerwin ca in the well, no, just a tadpole When I was si the skies above, I thought I was soaring through those same skies”
“Everyone, prepare to attack!”
All of a sudden, thedo, Nerkia!”
“Hht you all Nohere was i? that’s right, had I said that the lessons I had experienced up till noeren’t even lessons? Or that I learned the existence of a pain that made you realise that death is a relief?”
