Chapter 31: Engelbrecht and Julian
“Ouch, ouch…”
I, Engelbrecht, am walking slowly toward the boys’ dormitory, enduring the pain in my rear.
“That bastard, how dare he…!”
Upon checking the extent of the burn, I found that my pants and underwear had burned cleanly away from just my rear, leaving it completely exposed.
Thanks to that, I was laughed at by the other students!
What is this embarrassing appearance? I’ve never experienced such humiliation before!
I hurriedly took off my uniform jacket and managed to wrap it around my waist to cover my rear.
However, every time the jacket’s fabric touched my rear, I was hit with a stabbing pain.
Even walking was causing significant discomfort. As a result, the distance to the boys’ dormitory felt extremely long.
“Hehe…”
“What’s that over there?”
“Miss, don’t look. It must be a pervert.”
I could hear the students laughing at me as I walked with a hunched back. I was so embarrassed I felt like my face was on fire.
“Damn you, Leonhart…!”
An act that sullies such a noble duel. Absolutely unforgivable!
What does he think of a noble duel? It should be a more dignified act. To make a fool of the opponent…!
“Why isn’t the healing magic working!”
I have the light attribute and can use healing magic, but for some reason, it’s not effective on the burn on my rear. This is the first time this has happened.
“Ouch… But why did I lose…?”
I definitely don’t want to admit it, but this duel was a loss for me.
I really don’t want to accept it, but I lost.
But why did I lose?
What did Leonhart do?
I set up a water wall with Water Wall. Leonhart’s fire magic should have been blocked.
It’s strange that my rear caught fire.
Indeed, there is a technique for shooting over the heads of the front line with an arced attack. However, it’s generally difficult and has low accuracy.
Even if Leonhart was a master of arced attacks, is it possible for him to hit my rear with magic?
Moreover, is it possible for him to control it so precisely that only my pants and underwear were burned?
And this is the biggest question: Leonhart didn’t seem to use any magic.
Normally, when magic is used, it disrupts the mana in the atmosphere. People use this to detect the opponent’s magic activation. However, I felt like there was none of that with Leonhart.
Was it because it was beyond the Water Wall that I couldn’t sense it?
“Damn it…”
Even though I lost, I don’t even know the opponent’s hand. It’s a complete defeat.
I’ve put in a lot of effort into honing my magic skills. I pride myself on the extra effort I’ve put in.
But I also know that there’s always someone better.
However, I never expected to lose to someone my own age, especially one with the audacity to bring a slave to the academy.
“I will never forgive you, Leonhart…!”
“Engelbrecht? What happened to you, dressed like that?”
When I finally arrived at the boys’ dormitory, I ran into the boy who had guided me earlier. It was embarrassing to be seen like this…
“Julian. I’m sorry, but could you use healing magic on me? I got injured in a duel.”
“A duel!? Where are you injured!?”
Damn it! It’s embarrassing to admit I’m hurt in my rear…
“…my rear…”
“Huh? Where?”
Ad
“My rear…”
“Huh? Your rear?”
“I’m sorry, but could you show me to your room? I’d like to get treated there.”
Julian is a commoner, so he must have been given a room on the first floor.
“Got it. I’ll give you a hand.”
“Thanks…”
I took Julian’s shoulder as he guided me to his room. As expected, his room was on the first floor.
“Lie down on the bed. I’ll fix you up right away.”
“Thank you.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed but knowing it’s just among men, I turned my rear towards Julian.
“A burn? There are some places where the skin is peeling, but it doesn’t seem like a severe burn.”
“I see…”
I felt a slight sense of relief at Julian’s words.
“Alright, I’ll fix this quickly. Healing! …Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
Ad
“It’s… the magic isn’t working. It feels like it’s being repelled somehow. Healing! Still not working…”
“Is it not even working with all the attributes of Julian’s magic?”
Julian, though a commoner, is a rare individual who can wield magic of all attributes. Even Julian’s magic isn’t working…
“I’m sorry, but it seems so… This is the first time something like this has happened. It’s like a curse.”
“A curse…”
Leonhart, just how evil are you!?
“For now, let’s try cooling it down.”
“Cooling it down? What will that do?”
“Don’t you know? Cooling burns reduces the pain. Well, I guess nobles who can use healing magic wouldn’t know. It’s commoner wisdom.”
Later, while cooling my rear with ice created by Julian, I told him about Leonhart, whom I met today.
“A slave, huh…”
Julian pondered with a serious expression.
“Yes. Leonhart has enslaved a girl about his age. I believe people should be more free. Slavery should not be tolerated.”
“Indeed. I think so too. Leave it to me, Engelbrecht! I’ll go and knock that Leonhart out for you! And I’ll make sure to pay back for the rear too.”
“Wait, Julian. I appreciate the sentiment, but Leonhart is dangerous.”
Ad
“Dangerous?”
“Yes, he’s thought to be incredibly quick with his magic. So fast it’s almost undetectable. And he’s a master of curved shots.”
“I see.”
But Julian, despite hearing my words, responded with a fearless smile.
“By the way, was that slave girl cute?”
“Hm? Oh, she was a delicate girl, but…”
“If that’s all I need to know, then I’ll handle the rest!”
