Happy Reading~

===========

“Great… As expected of the hero’s companion. They’re not ordinary humans,” praised the students, unable to help but acknowledge Eris’ greatness.

Even though some of the hero’s companions were not included in the top three, they knew they were extraordinary people

They had heard, knowing Eric was the one who got the artifact from the tomb.

If not for that, it would be impossible for them not to glance at the sword at Eric’s waist.

Unexpectedly, the weapon on Eric’s waist couldn’t help but tremble.

’What’s this? Is there something wrong with this sword?’ Eric thought, unable to help but understand what was going on.

Once he was in the inauguration hall, he felt this sword had been moving non-stop.

It felt like he thought this sword had its own emotions.

Of course, he also knew this sword intended to remind him of something.

Didn’t know why, but Eric, he felt as if he understood what this sword’s wish was.

He was confident, guessing that what this sword wanted was my corpse.

’So you also want this person’s corpse? Okay. I also can’t wait for our next fight.’ without realizing it, a small grin began to form on Eric’s face.

For now, Eric’s goal is that he intends to behead me.

For Eric, I am a pest in his life right now.

Because of my name, he couldn’t help but recall past events.

He knows, realizing this past is a source of problems for his life.

In fact, Eric, he once thought about coming back and killing me and my family.

But still, Eric, he also knew there was no way he could escape the imperial guard.

In the end, as the hero’s friend, he inevitably has to be watched 24 hours a day.

Of course, Eric, he also knows that the reason why the empire does this is to be able to protect them.

However, the fact that Eric is one of the hero’s friends cannot be denied.

’What’s this? Why do I feel uncomfortable? No. I think it’s better for me to ignore this feeling.’ because didn’t intend to think further, I chose to ignore what happened.

If I had known that Eric’s plan was that he wanted to behead me, I definitely couldn’t help but feel shocked.

But what? In my mind, I kept convincing myself that it was impossible for Eric to be hostile to me.

But well, I also know what I’m thinking is highly unlikely to happen.

Even now, I continue to feel uncomfortable every time I see Eric’s face.

Every time I see this man’s face, I always intend to tear this man’s body apart.

Deep in my heart, I really wanted to kill this man with both hands.

…

By the way, just before the students’ award ceremony ended.

The two students who previously helped me fight the Minotaur, they also didn’t forget not to give a gift.

However, the fact that they did not choose to run away from the fight against the Minotaur was not just a fantasy.

But not for Eric, he didn’t get any praise from the academy head.

For the academy head, Eric’s actions were not worthy of praise at all.

In the end, he had the courage to leave his friends alone.

With that alone, is it necessary for him to get a prize in the form of achievement?

’Two stars… I obtained a two-star badge. Can I consider this as luck?’ I asked myself, unable to stop glancing at the clothes on my chest.

I have to admit, I didn’t expect the academy principal to decide to elevate my status.

As I recall, when someone got a two-star badge, they had to get various achievements.

For example, they inevitably have to show that they are far superior to students in the same year as them.

And now, because of my achievements in facing various obstacles to raise the rank of class E.

Like it or not, I was chosen, considered one of the outstanding students.

Although, in the end, the students from other classes, they didn’t understand at all why I had to be placed in second place.

In their opinion, second place would be better given to Eris.

However, the fact that Eris could defeat a fifth rank monster couldn’t be denied.

For second year students, fighting against a fifth rank monster was the most impossible thing.

What’s more, they also know what the strength of this fifth-rank monster is like.

A creature on par with a Warrior Knight, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to win against this monster.

If they continued to fight against this monster, their lives would most likely be lost.

But fortunately, in their entire lives, they had not once fought against this monster.

’Still… Do I have to stay close to this woman?’ I thought, couldn’t help but turn to a girl beside me

If want to say, as soon as I left the inauguration room, Aisha, she couldn’t help but choose to follow me.

Initially, I intended to tell this girl not to get too close to me.

But I changed my mind, seeing the way this woman looked at me.

“Mr. Noah, let me walk with you. I’m worried that your wound will recur again.”

“No. Please don’t keep touching me. We’re in a public place right now. What happens if they think strange things about us?”

“Strange thing?” for a moment, an expression full of confusion appeared on the Saintess’ face.

Of course, I immediately understood that the Saintess did not understand the meaning of our actions at all.

Without realizing it, I couldn’t help but change my expression of despair.

In my mind, I didn’t know what to say to this woman.

’Should I let her touch me? I thought so…’ having no choice, I couldn’t help but let this woman continue to touch me.

In fact, I can still feel the injuries I received while fighting against that demon.

It’s just that, the pain I felt was nothing compared to the first time I was given demon cells.

It could say, that the current me can endure this pain all day long.

“Hah… Do whatever you like. Remember, we have to separate when we’re in the hallway.”

“I know! Don’t worry. Let this kind girl help you achieve your goal.”

Whatever it is, for now I have to prepare myself.

Don’t know why, but I felt the way the students looked at me was quite strange

It felt as if I was being hunted by various unknown creatures.

’Bad… Is it true that I should be antagonized by an academy? But that doesn’t matter. Let me carry out this destiny.’

For some reason, my gaze couldn’t return to the Saintess.

’Well… I’d better not let her be sad. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to become an enemy of the Emperor.’

After that, I chose to look forward again.

For me, what is not my problem is simply not worth talking about.

…

“Mr. Noah, I’m going back first. If anything happens, come and contact me. Do you understand?”

“Leave it to me.”

Not long after the Saintess left, I was finally able to be alone too.

Still, I also knew there were some people watching me from a distance.

And sure enough, what I feared actually happened.

“Long time no see. Are you okay?”

“Prince… Why are you here?” I asked, realizing who the man in front of me was.

If I remember, if it wasn’t for this man, I wouldn’t have needed to suffer.

Unexpectedly, my eyes couldn’t help but fall on the two men at the prince’s side.

’Aren’t they…’ it was true, they were none other than the people I beat up before.

“Oh? Are you curious? Look, I just punished them. They have failed in carrying out my duties.”

“Hmph. Isn’t this good? They failed because they couldn’t win a fight against me. They really deserve to be punished.” I said, unable to help but insult these two men.

Of course, the prince, he knew what I meant.

To the prince, the words I said were an insult.

“Very good… You are really testing my patience. Since my sister is not around, I’m afraid you can’t do anything.”

In a split second, an unknown aura appeared and surrounded the area where I was.

Without realizing it, my body, unconsciously fell from the floor.

’So heavy… What is this? I felt like I was facing a fifth rank creature. Could the prince be at that stage?’ as if realizing what was happening, I thought the prince had reached the Warrior stage.

Of course, the strength of the prince was definitely above the Profound stage.

’NO…! Berserker Mode!’

“Surprising… You were actually hiding your true strength. But what? Can you continue to withstand my pressure?”

Maybe it was true, when I activated the Berserker power.

I felt like I could move freely before, but now it’s different.

I felt like the prince’s aura had become much heavier.

’No way… Is he that much stronger than the Minotaur? Ck. Truly worthy of being a prince.’

“Ha…!”

Not long after, I finally decided to increase my endurance.

Even though I’m hurt, I don’t care.

[Full embodiment in Berserker Mode granted.]

*Crack!-*

’What? What’s this? What has happened?’ thought the prince, unable to help but understand what was happening.

In the prince’s mind, he didn’t expect me to be able to continue to withstand the pressure of a Warrior stage expert.

Unfortunately, before the prince could act further

He felt someone touch his head, not knowing why.

“Can you stop? You are too impulsive. As your sister, I feel very heavy-hearted.”

“Let go… Did I tell you to touch me?”

“The princess? Why could-” without realizing it, I felt a bit of a bad feeling rising within me.

Don’t know what the reason is, but looking at the way the princess looks at me.
