Why is my brother here? That question comes to her mind.
Still, Luna quickly kept her distance. Because she understands that it was no coincidence that he showed up here.
“It’s sad to see your sister so blatantly distance herself from you when you’ve just met her. …… Could it be that this is the rebellious phase that’s been rumored?”
In contrast to Luna, Julius only cowered his shoulders and remained aloof.
Luna feels irritated by this, but suddenly an image of Shana, with whom she recently befriended, comes to mind.
“Sha, Shana-chan?”
“Hmm? Ah, the student I was in charge of. You seem to be getting along very well, did you have a good time gathering your friends?”
“Answer me!”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ve passed the exam and are back at the school by now.”
Why?
After all, Julius is standing in front of her right now.
Is she out of the academy? Did Shana and the others pass the exam successfully? No, there is no way the examiner would leave the students he is in charge of.
If they were to leave, it would surely be after something happened to Shana and the others.
Luna’s irritation peaks. She even points her finger in emotion and prepares to chant her magic.
“You’re not thinking clearly enough, Luna. In reality, as far as I can think of, it is reasonable to assume that I have somehow managed to get them to come to see Luna. But…”
Julius runs across the ground at once.
It is unbelievably fast that he is only one year older than her. Luna sends out an elementary flame that can be shot without chanting, not with power.
But Julius avoided it by leaning forward and dived into Luna’s path.
“We’re siblings, I wish you hadn’t come up with the idea of me going on a suicide mission without insurance.”
Then, a sharp fist slams
“!?”
“If you’re going to do it, do it thoroughly.””
Luna’s body bounced on the ground repeatedly.
By the time her back hit the wall, the power had diminished, but instead the pain running through her abdomen inhibited her breathing.
“Keho, bah……!?”
“If I were to enter this academy and drop out, I would definitely retire from the Succession Contest.”
Among the evaluation items in the succession battle.
The more people who support the school, the more advantageous it is.
Most of the people who support the school have advantages and disadvantages, but the premise is that “you can ride on the winning horse”.
If Luna were to drop out of the school, she would be labeled a “cheater” and a “failure,” and her supporters would leave her.
“So it would be a great help if Luna retired here.”
“!?”
“Well, I can tell she’s not going to do it by the way she’s desperately trying to gather her friends.”
Julius is approaching step by step.
Seeing this, Luna turned her head hard.
“I-if I tell the academy about the injustice ……”
“In terms of the number of witnesses, I’d be ahead of you, but only if you’re confident you can push through. Now the other me will be waiting in the auditorium for everyone to pass.”
Whether Julius’ statement was true or not, she doesn’t know.
But the situation and the amount of time spent in this situation is not going to make she thinks it’s a lie.
Cold sweat runs down Luna’s back.
“Her magic is amazing. I applaud her for being able to utilize it in battle, but she’s perfect in other uses as well.”
“…………”
“That’s why I don’t make a big deal of her. I’d get rid of her even if she knew about it. In the first place, the alibi, no matter how you try, makes the statements of the parties involved meaningless.”
A dimly lit space.
The dimness and quietness spread with Adele’s disappearance.
(What to do?
Should I run away here, or should I join up with Adele? If I were to join up with Adele, I would definitely have to take Julius with me.
It is a two-on-two situation. Since my fighting ability is inferior, I would definitely put the burden on Adele.
If this happens, there is a possibility that the two of us will be defeated by Julius and his team together.
If that is the case, should I run now and aim for the goal by myself alone? Julius’ goal is to get me expelled from school.
As long as I reach the goal, I will not be expelled and will be protected by the school.
In that case, Adele would be left alone.
But, it’s hard to think that the hero I admire would lose in a one-on-one battle against …… whoever it is.
But would I leave him behind despite the fact that he is involved because of me?
No, no, if you aim for the goal, Charlotte might turn around and follow me if she doesn’t let me go.
If I do so, I may be able to pull the threat away from Adele.)
“But, to be honest, I’m worried. Even though you get expelled from the school, Luna might gain a powerful ally and my name will be repaid.”
But can she escape?
Can she escape from these two now that she doesn’t know how far she have left to reach the goal or where her destination is?
But still.
She doesn’t want to put Adele, who got involved because of her, in danger.
“Unfortunately, killing is not allowed in the school. There are a lot of eyes on you, and even here, where there are no eyes on you, there is always the possibility of being traced back to you.”
What do I do? What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?What do I do?
“Well, it doesn’t matter once you’re outside of the school. I failed before, though.”
—-Luna hurriedly turned her back from the spot and began to run.
