Chapter 108 – I Am NTR (01)
The final class match against Class D is just around the corner.
Originally, Karen asked me to write this entry as well, but I also wanted to focus on Melissa’s work, and as a result, I advised Cylian, ‘You need to show that you are taking the lead in these things, so Karen will rely. . On you.’ The Cylians were preparing for the battle by working hard with their children.
Because I performed well during the midterm exam, I was also enrolled in the swordsmanship class, and Marian and Cylian agreed to take turns watching my swordsmanship, so I trained hard during the day.
As a result, the entry was the same as the last midterm exam, but Seri was excluded and Ophelia was brought in. As I kept going to the swordsmanship class, Ophelia also followed me to the swordsmanship class, so my power ended up being concentrated on one side.
‘Well… It’s the right choice’
Unlike class E, the difficulty gradually increases from class D.
Unless they are characters that I personally trained with and added growth corrections to as the main character, their abilities slowly start to drop. However, since I did not attend the magic class much and mainly stayed with Alice, who was left out of the entry level, the magic class may be weakened as a result. There was no outside.
Even when competing against Class E, the magic class was a bit close. Compared to Teacher Karen, who was in charge of magic for classes E and F, the swordsmanship class was much stronger, so I would say it was a pretty sad reality.
However, due to the difficulty adjustment, if you train right before a confrontation, your ability level increases quickly, but I also sparred with Cylian, Marian, and Kay… I excluded it because I felt like I would break my arm if I tried, but Gordon is weaker than me in terms of swordsmanship. Throw it away.
The last thing that was requested by Cylian was Ophelia.
Taaaaah!
Ophelia was fighting a sword with me while handling a thick wooden sword with one hand. Her odds of winning were about half of mine, but I had a strong feeling that she was playing with me as she smiled brightly.
Today again, when I swung my sword with a straight face, Ophelia backed away and then intentionally hit her sword on the ground, breaking it and retreating.
“Ouch… My hand hurts.”
“Ophelia.”
“Hmm? Why?”
She laughs slyly and ignores my words, but with her skills, I don’t need to train her anyway.
“Do it properly during competitions.”
“Yes, yes.”
Perhaps because her transplant surgery had entered the stabilization phase, Ophelia was walking around wearing her academy uniform instead of her usual long sleeves.
Although she felt uncomfortable if there were scars or traces left on her body, when she saw her skin restored so neatly, an unexplainable feeling of anxiety sprouted in her heart.
‘There’s less time left than I thought’
It was already half way.
‘It’s something I planned on doing from the beginning anyway’
Is this the feeling of ‘me’ or the feeling of the character ‘Aren’?
Even as she got closer and deeper with her other friends, strangely, looking at Ophelia made her feel at ease in a corner of her heart.
Just like when you grow up with your favorite friend, even if you end up neglecting them for various reasons, they remain in your heart because there is only one person who understands your feelings at that time.
In reality, ‘I’ is just a simple background setting, with not much difference in the period of time I met Ophelia and other friends…
“…Whew.”
Let’s not think about it too complicated.
“It feels good to go to the same competition as Aren this time, right?”
“We went out together last time, too.”
“Still, I enjoy playing with Aren like this.”
“Practice properly, not play.”
“But-“
Ophelia looked at her broken greatsword and spoke with an uncharacteristically serious expression.
“I don’t want to fight with Aren. That’s just how I feel.”
“…”
But we will fight. Because that is the choice I made and it is my destiny.
As I stood there with a confused expression, Ophelia threw away her broken wooden sword and came over to me and pressed my nose with her finger.
“Really, Aren… I understand. I will do my best in the competition. Now, promise?”
He takes my hesitant hand and forces my little fingers to cross.
For some reason, my mind was so confused that I couldn’t hold her sword in my hand that day.
‘I need to think of a way…’
* * *
After training, my other friends went into individual training, but I was still in the temple today.
The medicine made from the [Sun Flower] Placed on Teacher Rebecca’s desk is currently maturing by being placed on the window sill, but rather than actually using it, it is planned to be made into medicine and stored for now.
The closer the class match got, the faster Melissa’s birthday came, and there were really only a few days left.
“Ah… Welcome.”
I see Melissa greeting me with blushing cheeks and Alice talking in front of me.
Although she stayed in the nurse’s office just in case, unlike her her previous pale face her her color her turned a little and her health she seemed to have recovered, so there was a lot of talk in class F about showing Melissa that she won this class competition.
‘Hellowing and reflection… I guess’
Melissa knew it too. Therefore, when her physical condition improved, she was trying to create Golem No. 2 until the end.
Without knowing that fact, most of Class F were busy practicing in preparation for the final class competition, and only Alice, who was unconditionally excluded from the entry, visited occasionally.
Alice didn’t know the truth either, so she just assumed that Melissa’s condition had improved.
“A lot of my friends are visiting me these days… I’m so happy.”
Melissa greeted me with a bright smile and made room for me, and as Alice watched, she was looking at me with a subtle expression, and then she hugged Melissa’s body tightly, protecting her from me.
“Huh? What’s wrong Alice?”
“I-I’m fine … Melissa … If she gets treated with something rough like that, she’ll die … I’d rather take her place her her her her …”〈 Br〉
The [Delusional] Attribute was flashing next to Alice’s face, and she seemed to have already started delusional about what I was doing when I met Melissa in the deserted nurse’s office.
‘There’s nothing I can’t say to a child who hasn’t even unlocked adult mode yet!’
It’s scheduled to be unlocked tomorrow afternoon, but anyway!
“Hey Alice, wait a minute… Can we just leave the two of you alone?”
“Ah… Ah… But…”
“I have a little something I want to say. Is that okay?”
Anyway, Alice gave me a suspicious look until the end, and she whispered to me that I couldn’t do Melissa, that she would take over if she was in a hurry, and then walked away.
Only then did silence fall in the nurse’s office, leaving me and Melissa alone.
“It looks okay.”
“Is that so? I suddenly started feeling stronger a while ago…”
Melissa’s expression, which had been smiling as she spoke, quickly darkens as Alice’s footsteps recede.
“I guess I don’t have much time left.”
“I guess so.”
“I may celebrate my last birthday… But what happens after that?”
I looked back at the glass bottle on Teacher Rebecca’s desk where the [Sunflower] Had melted and was now turning into a potion that emits light.
“You will be able to recover.”
“Yes… I heard the explanation.”
Rebecca will have told you what treatment she will receive and what options she will have.
Should I drink the potion made from the [Sunflower] And lose favorability, or should I seek treatment from the [Duty Massage].
“There I am, Aren.”
“Huh?”
“I…It’s my birthday tomorrow?”
I knew that well. Precisely because we had to free up time tomorrow afternoon, Teacher Rebecca spoke to Teacher Karen, and after listening to Saili Ando’s story her her her, she guessed her her general situation her her her and freed up training tomorrow .
“So… “Can you participate?”
Melissa was cautiously asking me if she would be rejected.
“Then I guess I should pick a gift today.”
It may not be a good gift because there are no points, but there were many things that could be given appropriately.
“No, you can just come without that. I’d really be grateful if you did that…”
Even though she was smiling brightly, Melissa was having a hard time slowly losing her stamina.
Her remaining lifespan is 4 days. Not only was she unable to return to her senses, but a few hours after her birthday, she fell into a coma and died while receiving life-sustaining treatment at the shrine.
In reality, she only has about two days left.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be able to celebrate your next birthday, and the birthday after that.”
After returning home after pleading to participate in the birthday celebration tomorrow, I went in early, washed up, and fell into a deep sleep.
[Mandatory Mating Mass] Attribute is 50%.
The success rate was 50%, but even if I was good at ejaculation, there was a chance that I wouldn’t ejaculate in controlling succession if I was unlucky.
In preparation for the worst, I had to stock up on stamina pills and try until I succeeded. If that didn’t work, I planned to try again while recovering my stamina with the help of Priestess Beace.
In other words, I was planning to try until I succeeded, so I planned to lie down to save myself from mental fatigue, rest well until the morning, exercise, and then move…
Bang bang bang!
I had to wake up in the early morning to the sound of someone knocking on my door.
“Aren!”
It was Teacher Rebecca’s urgent voice.
When I regained consciousness in a drowsy, deep sleep and staggered to open the door, I found Teacher Rebecca pounding on the door with a piece of ice stuck to her cheek.
“What…Happened…”
“It’s urgent, hurry!”
Other friends, including Cylian, Hollyo, and Kay, were curious about what was going on and tried to follow, but Teacher Rebecca strongly stopped them from following, so I headed to her temple with her in her pajamas. 〉
Teacher Rebecca took me not to the nurse’s office but to the intensive care unit, where I found Melissa in the frozen water being treated by Priestess Beace’s sacred magic.
“What happened?”
“Progress is faster than expected.”
“Why!”
“I don’t know either. Where did the problem come from? I think I can hold out until today…”
Originally, we were going to spend her birthday with her friends and then go to therapy, but now that it’s come to this, tomorrow, when she becomes an adult… No, it’s past 12 o’clock, so it looks like we ‘ll have to put her in as soon as this afternoon starts. It was.
“Beace is trying to convince me. She’s insisting that she’ll hold on as long as she can, and that she’ll do it just by celebrating her birthday with her other friends.”
Due to its nature, [Obligation Massage] Will not be cast without the opponent’s permission, even if you are in danger of death.
In my case, because I said ‘save me’, it was decided that I would not choose any treatment method, so Priestess Beace helped me, and even that, if I had accepted it and been picky, it would have been an act of exceeding my authority.
But now Melissa knows what her treatment she is her and she is telling her outright that she will not receive the [Compulsory mass] Treatment until today, so she will not receive her consent unless she consents. The treatment itself was impossible.
“But in this condition, if you wait until the scheduled treatment time… It’s dangerous.”
Even though she is alive, if her body is completely frozen, she cannot use the ability of [Obligation Mass].
Because it is not a convenient property that can be recovered just by spraying it on the outside.
“I will persuade you.”
“No.”
Mistress Rebecca held my arm tightly as I tried to enter her.
If I gave her strength, she would be able to shake me off, but looking at her face as she desperately grabbed my arm, I couldn’t force my way in.
“What would happen if the [Compulsory school mass] Was not from the temple but was an outsider and a student working at the academy?”
“That doesn’t matter…”
“Aren. The temple is not a very clean place. You can tell that just by looking at the mass production of [Mandatory Masses] And having them on standby, right? But if [Mandatory Masses] Appear that can be used indefinitely, that is even if you don’t have a family or other support. What do you think will happen?”
It was a warning that they would immediately target me from the temple that used the [Compulsory church mass] Itself as a weapon.
“Beace also warned you. [Compulsory Mass] Is a medical practice, not something you do for your friend. So…”
Teacher Rebecca was looking inside her treatment room with an anxious expression.
It shows Melissa strongly demanding something from her even as her body freezes, and the priestess Beace trying to persuade her.
“Just wait a moment.”
“What if I refuse until the end?”
“…You have to use medicine. The medicine made from [Sunflower] Can be administered even if you are unconscious. You can’t complain after waking up. There won’t even be any feelings of resentment left.”
I frowned at Rebecca’s words, but I’m sure she was just as nervous.
“I can only wait for Beace to persuade me well…”
