Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 209.2

Even now, every time he remembered Carla, his face hurt; the wounds burned by Carla’s flames had healed on the surface, but he could not make good facial expressions, and sometimes frightened the children of his followers.

(I won’t forgive you…)

Nathaniel could never forgive those two girls who had carved fear into him.

The humiliation and fear inflicted by Aria Layton broke Nathaniel’s heart.

Carla Lester’s pain and fear drove Nathaniel’s spirit.

Normally, Nathaniel would never have thought of taking a stand against these women. But Licia took all the pain away.

“…You understand, don’t you, boys?”

Nathaniel muttered, and three black shadows emerged from behind him.

Reaching the far end of the dungeon, Nathaniel sought the strength to stand beside Licia, the Saint.

His ability was equivalent to Level 2 light magic, and even though he was an excellent student, he was unable to stand alongside Saint. The dungeon spirit who heard his wish promised that even if he could not give him power equivalent to that of Saint, he would grant him something close to it.

However, the [Gift] that was given was far from what Nathaniel wished for.

Still, it was a power that could be used in the current situation with the enemy. Although he felt alienated by its existence, mediated and possessed by the spirit of the dungeon, he convinced himself that bearing his own sins was [devotion to Licia], and that it was a test for himself given by God.

“Licia…for you.”

Hearing the murmur, the three shadows laughed slightly without being noticed by Nathaniel.

Our sophomore year at the Academy of Magic had begun.

Last year, it was thought that some new students might have declined to join the academy because of the Evil Race-related commotion, but this year, as usual, a number of students attended the entrance ceremony and started their new academy life.

“Well, that’s that. As long as you are a noble, you may not be recognized as an adult until you graduate from the magic academy, so the nobles are desperate.”

“I see.”

I nodded at his explanation as I walked with Viro, who was dressed as a janitor, around the school to check on the school’s security.

Security was tighter than before. The number of school knights had not changed much, but the nobles of the middle class and above had increased the number of guards, and the personnel of the Dark Side had also increased in number.

Not only the Royal Guard but also Rockwell Dandol, who became an escort knight this year, were added to Elena’s guard. Although he was equal to the Royal Guard in terms of strength, his presence as a high-ranking nobleman allowed him to deal with those who were bothering Elena, which gave me more freedom to move around.

The noble guards were well-trained, and some of them were rank 4 with a combat power of nearly 1,000. The reason I was going around the academy with Viro this time was to figure out which camp the rank 4 were in and where they were mainly located.

I was also trying to get the dark side personnel at the academy to remember “her”.

“But even so….”

Viro, who had been walking while erasing his presence to the extent that he would not be remembered, looks at her as she walked silently by my side.

“Your presence, it’s so uncomfortable, Jesha.”

“I know that!”
