I Became an Outcast in the Academy - Chapter 63



10. Struggling (9)

‘This is the worst.’

Just before Cian’s sword pierced Lobelia’s heart, he watched Leticia suddenly appear and interfere, and he bit her lip gently.

Just now, Xian succeeded in bringing a Lobelia to the brink of death.

At the last moment of her life, Lobelia let her guard down, and Xian took advantage of her weakness and was able to drive her to the brink of death… That didn’t mean he was stronger than Lobelia.

Of course, Lobelia was not currently in a normal state, and she used black magic to strengthen the spirits she was dealing with, which is why she was able to display such powerful power.

But no matter how wrong she used it, it is not a justifiable excuse for defeat.

No matter what means or methods are used, the one who stands until the end wins, and the dead return to the ground and cannot say anything.

That was the lesson that Xian learned during his days as a mercenary while surviving to the end in countless battlefields.

Just looking at the result, Xian failed to kill Lobelia, and from now on, Lobelia will never let down her guard until Xian is completely rendered incapable of fighting.

In that sense, the current situation could not have been the worst in many ways.

This was even more so considering that the odds of winning, which were already not that high, fell even further with the appearance of Leticia.

“… “Why are you here?”

After provoking Lobelia, she never missed a single moment of her movements until the moment she came into contact with the warlock.

So I could be sure. Before she came here, Lobelia had no contact with Leticia of any kind.

But how on earth did Leticia know about this place, and how was it possible for her to appear at such an incredible timing?

“Why am I here? Well, it’s simple. Because I was doing something similar to you just a little while ago.”

“… What?”

“So to put it simply, I was also watching Lobelia. “Long before my brother provoked that girl and led her to come to this place.”

Seeing Leticia shrug her shoulders and say that, Sian unconsciously made an absurd expression.

“… You were actually watching Lobelia? Why? Aren’t you two kind of colleagues who share the same goal?”

“Colleague? “Oppa, there’s no way me and that girl really have a cute and cute relationship like a co-worker.”

Leticia trembled as if the word ‘colleague’ that Sian uttered was quite disgusting.

“I happened to be on the same boat as Lobelia, holding her hand, but I never trusted that girl even for a moment. “What are you supposed to believe in a crazy b*tch who joins hands with a warlock who, no matter how much it may be to achieve her own goals, can be said to be an exploit for the empire?”

Leticia giggles, saying that Lobelia wouldn’t have trusted her anyway, so this isn’t all just teacher.

“In that sense, this position can be said to be a very good opportunity for me. Not only would it be enough to get rid of that b*tch from this place, but it would also be a perfect opportunity to get my hands on my brother… ”

“… You want to get your hands on me? You also?”

“No matter how much I think about my brother’s abilities, it’s such a shame to lose him like this. “Even if I die, wouldn’t it be of great help to the development of humanity in the future if I could explain the principles of my brother’s abilities?”

Now, as she looked at Leticia, who was openly showing her greed for her own abilities, her eyes felt something about her feel dirty.

Even if they were enemies now, he couldn’t be happy when the people he once considered his younger sister saw him not as her older brother, but only as a tool to enhance his talents.

‘Is this why Cartesia advised me to hide this ability as much as possible?’

No, when Sian thought about it, just like Lobelia said, all of this was entirely his fault.

They lived under the same roof for several years, and although they were not materially wealthy, they cared for and cared for her younger sisters as best as they could, but this is the only way to return.

He knew very well that his eyes for people were not very good, but wasn’t this going a little too far?

“I feel like I want to kill Lobelia and immediately secure her brother, but… No matter how you think about it, that would be a bit difficult, right? I don’t think our cute Lobelia will just sit back and support me, and I think it’ll be hard for her to silence the princess over there… In the end, there is only one way.”

Leticia shrugged her shoulders and then held out her hand towards Lobelia with a wide smile on her face.

“Why don’t we hold hands temporarily, just here?”

“… What?”

“No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think I could get my hands on her brother without making any noise. Even if I kill you and secure your brother, I don’t think I can fool the princess or the warlock over there. So, do you think it would be a good idea to join hands at least until we secure your brother?”

At Leticia’s suggestion, Lobelia glanced towards her Kireion and then nodded her head.

Since Kyreion over there was her steadfast ally, she was thinking that if she just passed this moment, she would be able to do something about Leticia’s threats.

“Okay. Instead, I have a higher stake in her brother’s ownership. “You do realize that you are now serving someone else’s table, right?”

“If I hadn’t raised the spoon, my brother would have killed me, but I kept my mouth shut.”

With her eyes in front of her eyes, Lobelia looked at Leticia bickering and burst into laughter.

“Well, in your eyes, it only looks like the fish I caught, right? Or is it that I look like a pushover?”

“Of course. “Of course, what on earth can my brother do now?”

Saying that, Leticia sneered at her Cyan, who was holding her sword, as she endured the pain of her blood flowing down her side.

“You must have consumed a lot of stamina while fighting Lobelia earlier, and even though you may have avoided fatal wounds, that definitely doesn’t mean there are no problems. In addition, the skill I used on Lobelia in her final moments seemed to be consuming a lot of mana. Isn’t it time for the mana to run out?”

“Besides, I’m very cool with Lobelia, who was almost killed by her brother. “No matter how strong you are, what can you do against the two of us now that both your stamina and mana are gone?”

Leticia is right. It was so difficult to defeat Lobelia alone, but with her injured, it is almost impossible to deal with both Leticia at the same time.

If I fight the two in this state… It is clear that no matter how long it is, Xian will not be able to last more than a minute and will end up lying on the floor mercilessly.

“… In the end, do we even have to use this method?”

I didn’t want to use this method. If possible, she didn’t want to use this method, although she wanted to end everything with only the power she had.

“Ha, bluff. “I know that if you talk like that, someone will get scared-“

“Hey, Lobelia. And Leticia. “I want to ask you one question.”

Ignoring Leticia’s sarcasm, Sian looks at the two calmly and asks one question.

“I will return to life for you…” “So, when I applied the ability to enhance her talent, did you ever notice anything strange?”

“… Strange thing?”

Lobelia and Leticia tilt their heads, perhaps because the question was completely unexpected.

“I didn’t realize it because it was an ability I had taken for granted since I was very young, but they said there was one rule that was common to these types of abilities.”

“Ah, are you really talking about equivalent exchange?”

Leticia, who is receiving all kinds of advanced knowledge related to magic at the Magic Tower, was able to quickly understand what her cyan was talking about.

Originally, all kinds of abilities applied to humans are activated based on the premise of the law of equivalent exchange.

Just as a certain amount of magical power is required to cast magic, and mana present in the body is required to extract sword energy.

That’s why all magicians’ eyes roll when they see Xian’s ‘ability to artificially strengthen the talents of others.’

Although the ability is extremely rare, using that level of ability does not put any strain on the body of the person involved or the person to whom the ability is applied.

“I didn’t know, but this ability actually has some drawbacks. What… Actually, let’s call it a disadvantage, it’s a disadvantage that doesn’t mean much to me… “

“… Disadvantage?”

At that moment, Leticia felt something uneasy. Even if everything else was the same, Xian’s attitude as he said this was very relaxed.

“What kind of trick are you trying to pull?”

“It’s no big deal. Well, something like this.”

Sian raises her hand and snaps her fingers. And when Leticia and Lobelia saw that, they instantly flinched.

Because they were afraid that Xian might be doing some strange trick that they were not aware of.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, Leticia and Lobelia felt pleasure from the feeling of their insides being filled with abundance.

I was coming back. The talent they had lost so far was coming back to their bodies!

“Aha, you used your brother’s ability to increase our talents again.”

It is very happy to see a lost talent come back. But at the same time, I’m not sure what kind of trick this is.

Not only did Sian and they dramatically reconcile, but what was the reason for restoring their talents in an urgent situation where they were either killing each other or saving each other?

“Is this perhaps a final struggle to beg for your life?”

I couldn’t figure out Xian’s intentions at all. But it’s not a bad thing for her, and the reason why she did this nonsense is something she will have to figure out step by step after beating her Xi’an.

“Thank you for restoring her talent, and goodbye to her. “If you take a deep breath and wake up, everything will have changed.”

That was the moment when Leticia giggled and raised her right hand, trying to unleash her magic to capture her eyes.

“Huh?”

The next moment, Leticia’s complexion hardened.

“… “Can’t you use magic?”
