Luna Carbon is not that ‘weak’.
She is skilled enough to be incorporated into the eighth rank in a school that is bound by rankings.
Of course, she was inferior to Adele, Shana, and her escort, Serena, but as a mage, she stood out from her peers.
When compared to Elesia, who was also called the prodigy of that magical family, one can only laugh bitterly, but still.
Even so, she was still a brilliant student to the extent that she was not ashamed of her royal family name.
However…
“Is this all you got?”
A spear of earth popped out.
And the one who smashed it in an instant was……his own brother.
Luna bit her lip at the sight and chanted as she ran.
“Bounty of the earth, bring his people to sharp judgment ……!”
Once again, a spear of earth covers Julius’ surroundings.
There is no hesitation in shooting. All were immediately aimed at Julius, but in the blink of an eye, Julius shattered them with the sword he was holding.
“A second-rate person is also a second-rate person. It’s not like a mediocre person, but…”
Julius’ figure blurred.
He stopped running and rounded his body as quickly as he could, as if his previous intuition had kicked in.
Then, a merciless swing of the lady struck Luna’s torso.
“As expected, you are disqualified as my younger sister.”
Her slender body rolled on the ground.
Luna’s face turned agonized with pain, but she got up and immediately ran away.
(After all, there is too much difference ……!)
Julius Carbon.
The most battle-talented person in the royal family.
He is so gifted in swordsmanship that he is called the reincarnation of a sword saint, and his physical ability is such that he can overwhelm not only people his own age but also adults.
Luna has seen and experienced this ability not only through rumor but also many times before.
That’s why, once again…….
(Mouu, why can’t I meet anyone? S-Class, you’re too good!)
If she could meet a third party who didn’t know what was going on, she would have more witnesses.
But still, for some reason, she doesn’t meet anyone. Either they have already been cleared long ago, or Julius and his team did something about this too.
It’s a blessing in disguise that she has not met Adele, Elesia, and the others who she does not to cause trouble, but it’s tough not having any elements.
Hence, Luna continues to aim for the goal with a sense of urgency.
“My brothers and sisters above are useless.”
Luna jumped into the stairway to the basement, which was located on the side.
At that moment, a sword swung down and pierced the place where she had just been.
“The oldest brother is drunk with power, while the second brother is a studious student. The older sister seems to be somewhat more concerned about her country, but even so, she is still only a lady. They don’t have the ability to act, and even if they thought about doing so, they wouldn’t actually do it.”
Julius looks at Luna as she rolls down the stairs.
“On the contrary, Luna is a waste. She is not particularly more talented than her brothers and sisters, but she is dynamic. If she had been born earlier, she would have had a few more faction members.”
A clap. Julius’ footsteps echoed through the dungeon.
Luna knows that these are the footsteps of the Grim Reaper. Therefore, she rushed downstairs to the dungeon at once, without talking.
“That’s why, in a way, Luna is scarier for me. If you’re just looking up, you won’t notice that the stones beneath your feet are getting closer. I want to clear the road as soon as possible.”
Her back was turned, and in that instant, Julius’ kick pierced Luna’s side.
“~~~~!?”
“I’m going up, to make more strides for our country.”
She rolls on the ground. It’s also an unstoppable force.
Now that they are far apart, Luna feels a little relieved that she can still escape.
As if he didn’t care about his sister’s feelings, Julius took out a watch from his pocket, checked the time, and put it back in his pocket.
“H-He would even kill his family members for that ……?”
Luna coughed and finally opened her mouth.
“Would you like to tell me something beautiful?”
“…There are certain things you should not do.”
“You can judge whether it’s a necessary sacrifice by looking at the results.”
Luna sends a handful of gravels of earth flying from her palm without chanting.
However, Julius easily knocked it away with his sword.
“If I’m going to do it, I’ll do it thoroughly. I won’t tolerate even the slightest stain. It doesn’t matter if I kill, it’s just the certainty. Of course I’m aware that I’m a ruthless bastard.”
And yet, she does it.
Even though she understands this, she still has no hesitation in going down this path.
Ambitious—that’s also a typical crazy person.
If she were to be knocked unconscious by Julius here, she would be expelled from school without a doubt.
She doesn’t know what she is doing now, but she is telling herself that this margin is not a lie.
And if she loses here – she won’t know what will happen to her outside the school.
Suddenly, the incident in which she almost died outside the city comes back to her mind.
It was prepared by her brother, who is one of her relatives…
(…………ah)
The moment Luna tried to stand up, she understood that her legs were not strong enough.
Was it a flashback to the near-death incident a while ago, or was it the manifestation of the damage that had been done until now?
Luna tried hard, tapping repeatedly as if trying to move a motionless machine that was trembling like a fawn.
“…… move.”
“It’s over.”
“Moveeeeeeee!!!!”
I’m going to lose if I don’t.
I’ll lose, I’ll get expelled, I’ll get separated from everyone, and I might die …….
This fear produced a lot of tears from Luna’s eyes as she desperately tapped her foot again and again.
“The game of tag is now closed.”
Julius slowly approaches with his sword.
And then…
“Well then, prepare yourself, my mediocre sister …….”
─ ─ ─ Debris fell from the ceiling.
“Hm?”
Julius reflexively looks up above his head.
The debris fell between him and Luna.
The debris fell as if the ground had been shattered, and he saw a young girl who looked like someone he knew.
The girl was smashed to the ground along with the rubble, and Julius opened his mouth without thinking.
“Charlotte,…… why are you here?”
“That’s a given,……, isn’t it!?”
The moment she was about to say it, Charlotte got up as quickly as she could and flew to the bottom of Julius.
The appearance is as if she is running away from something.
The next moment, several huge knightly swords dyed black and green pierced the ground through the open hole.
“…… Thank God, I made it in time.”
A boy appeared late.
The boy was wearing black armor that was crumbling in places.
“A-Adele kun, ……!”
The boy is wearing black armor and is standing in front of Julius, as if protecting her.
I didn’t want to cause any trouble. I didn’t want her to get hurt after all, so I ran away.
Even so, I still feel happy.
I’m sure this back used to be—
“I’ll take care of the rest, Princess-san. So stop crying.”
I think it’s because this is the same big back that saved me when I was crying.
[The Black Knight.]
As rumored, the hero dashingly appeared at someone else’s tragedy.
“Now, let’s fight, you culprits. It’s a knight’s job to protect the princess, so come and get all your worthless selfishness together.”
Today, again, he clenches his fist for someone else.
