Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me - Chapter 48



48 – A maid’s secret affair (4)

The day after the special classmates visited the hospital.

Today is also the weekend when I don’t go to school, so I went outside and warmed up in a secluded place where people don’t come often.

I didn’t take a break for a long time, but after lying down for a day or two, my body felt sore…….

In addition, exercise or training itself has been part of my life pattern for a long time, as I hardly ever skipped a day before coming to the academy.

As I was stepping on the grass under the sunlight, someone called me from behind in a refreshing voice.

“Is this a rehab?”

“Hmm? Ah, it’s an elfin.”

When I turned my head, I saw an elfin.

I came out with her wooden sword and even in the midst of her stretching, I waved her hand and welcomed her.

‘Come to think of it… ….’

When all the special class students came to play yesterday, I thought in my heart that Elfin would come too, but unexpectedly that wasn’t the case.

Seeing that the other special class students also say they don’t know, I can only guess that there must have been something else.

Perhaps he had a conversation with the imperial family about the incident in the back mountain.

“There is no such thing as rehabilitation, just warming up.”

“Really? If you rest for two days, won’t your body get heavy?”

“Thank you for your concern, but I usually get heavy when I run even a little bit. Rather, it might be better to get some rest.”

“So change your body and increase your stamina… ….”

Elfin repeats the same words again.

I hurriedly turned her head to cut off the conversation.

Elfin wasn’t saying anything seriously either, and she was just kidding. She smiled and drew the sword from her waist.

“Anyway, I will help you with rehabilitation training. It will be a useful training partner.”

“A worthy training partner? Really?”

I still remember the atrocities she committed against the Cornet, Josef and other students in her special class during her first fight with Elfin.

Her head hit the ground, rolling on her floor… ….

Elfin giggled as if he remembered the same scene as me.

“That was a bit of discipline, you know what?”

“Did you learn that while working for the Resistance?”

“hehehe, that’s right. It wasn’t like this in the past.”

Elfin shrugged her shoulders as she stanced with her sword.

Well, if you think about it, I also used my career as an assassin to take advantage of the Humpton gang once.

It wouldn’t be strange to say that Elfin also followed in my footsteps.

“Well, with your skills, you would have been promoted instantly as soon as you enlisted.”

“Of course not. But maybe that’s why, there are a lot of people who are secretly jealous. How nasty I must have looked in the eyes of the original people?”

I nodded my head spontaneously.

A rare elf in a 99% human resistance group, and even a young woman.

This inevitably causes friction just by its existence.

Whether it’s old school executives or low-level soldiers, they must have doubted Mr. Philburton’s appointment as a talented person and looked at Elfin with a bad eye.

“But you know. I will prove it with my skills.”

“Only by skill?”

“With a bit of violence.”

But people with blinded eyes would have known it all.

That the flames I lit that would destroy the Delin Kingdom, that Elfin could advance a few steps forward.

Since all of them were equally firm in their purpose, there should have been no serious division.

This is also the story of the executives who were dissatisfied, and the low-level soldiers were not even considered.

I could have put everything to sleep with Elfin’s physical training.

…… Maybe that’s when he showed the qualities to become a professor?

“So, are you going?”

Elfin grinned and she lunged at me.

As I said, we didn’t attack as wildly as sparring.

I said I was all better, but I felt like I was still worried about my body, and it was just training to warm up.

As if dancing, according to my pace and steps.

In the middle of the day, the lawn had become a ballroom for the two swordsmen.

“…… Whoa.”

I fell into a trance and competed for a few sums, no, dozens of sums.

A rough breath came out, but what can I say?

‘It’s fun.’

Yes, I felt a strange sense of accomplishment that I fought against an opponent I was willing to fight with.

If you think about it, it was.

The opponents at the mansion were all simple, and my classmates at the academy were a little disappointed compared to what I expected.

On the other hand, Katarina was obviously a difficult opponent, but in many ways, she was not an opponent I was interested in fighting.

“mmm, Master is strong as expected. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been this excited while fighting.”

“Am I that much? Aren’t you exaggerating too much?”

“Isn’t Master underestimating himself too much? Honestly, Master, it’s a skill that can be eaten anywhere on the continent right now. How can I supplement my physical strength?”

“…… How do you complement it?”

“…… Tell me again?”

I shook my head and sat down, leaning against a tree.

“Even just talking makes me feel good, because you say that, who has skills that can be counted on one hand even in all continents.”

“It’s all thanks to Master, heh. And it’s not really empty talk. Just because the years have passed doesn’t mean everything has been leveled up. Rather, I have met more real strong people in the past.”

“A strong person?”

As a man who also made a living in combat, I couldn’t help but be interested in stories such as wandering stories about the continent and the life and death of the strong.

When I looked at Elfin with her eyes twinkling, she trudged over and sat down right next to me on her hip with a grin.

“Yes, there were so many strong players that even I had a hard time defeating. Now that I have more skills, I don’t know. Ugh, I want revenge.”

“I’d like to catch up with me later and listen to the story. What kind of guys were they to fight hard against Elfin?”

“You really beat me, not a fight?”

Elfin looked at me, frowning.

“Hmmm, among them, there were those who used both divine protection and sword at the same time, just like Master’s current fighting style.”

“Like me?”

“That’s right. That’s why I look forward to Master’s growth. I’m still strong, but what will happen if I use protection magic perfectly?”

It may still be a long story, but it was tempting.

But I couldn’t figure out why Elfin was telling me that.

As Elfin said, in order to become a warrior who perfectly handles protection magic, I had to continue living with this body.

When I returned to my previous body, I couldn’t use magic.

“…… Ah!”

Elfin seemed to have finally realized that.

Are you spitting it out without much thought and later regretting it?

It was almost certain to see him fidgeting and slapping me on the shoulder, up to his hips.

‘Anyway, he’s a bit clumsy.’

Elfin tried to change the topic openly.

“Ah, aha~ Come to think of it, I heard the kids from the special class went out to play yesterday?”

“Yes, I did. I’m sorry you didn’t come.”

“Huh? Did you expect me to come?”

“No, what. Everyone came, but only you fell for it.”

Elfin was suddenly lost without context.

When I looked at her with a curious look, she cleared her throat and stopped laughing, but the corners of her mouth were still twitching.

“Keuhmm, hmm, something like this happened yesterday.”

“Can I ask what’s going on?”

“Of course, Master and I are as one body now.”

“…… What are you talking about?”

“We shared all of each other’s secrets, hee hee hee.”

“Anyway, I can’t win.”

I laughed dejectedly, and Elfin smiled brightly.

“On the day of the incident, Justina and I sorted out the school problems, but yesterday I was busy reporting to the imperial family.”

“It was the imperial family, after all. What do you say there?”

From noble mtl dot com

“We talked about this and that, but… That was probably the point.”

A bitterness lingered in the smile across Elfin’s mouth.

“Can I leave Charlotte at Denbergen Academy?”

“…… What?”

I frowned at Elfin’s words.

She said that the Imperial Family directly asked if she could leave Charlotte at Den Bergen Academy, so…….

“It is a known fact that Charlotte is being targeted by dangerous forces. Besides, those guys aren’t particularly persistent. What will happen if she continues to leave Charlotte in her academy.”

For a moment, I didn’t have words to answer right away.

It’s frustrating, but it’s because I also understood her words and the meaning of the imperial family.

She said that if Charlotte continues to stay at Den Bergen Academy, she will continue to be targeted as the last king of De Ellin.

“Is it possible that other students or staff could get hurt?”

“…… Something like that, what.”

Elfin said calmly, but this was a pretty big problem.

She was saying that one Charlotte could hurt the others involved.

In fact, that was the case with the incident at the back mountain.

My life was at stake, and the other students would have suffered greatly if it hadn’t been for the strongest ambush, Elfin or Justina.

“Then the imperial family wants her Charlotte sent somewhere else? Either the imperial family takes them and protects them…….”

“As expected, Master. You offer the most reasonable answer in this situation. But unfortunately, not all people in the world are rational.”

“…… Well, there’s no way the imperial family would take care of and protect Charlotte, who is like bait to attract enemies.”

Wherever Charlotte is, it is certain that the forces of the last king of Delin will find it and eventually invade it.

From that point of view, it was natural that the imperial family also did not want to take care of Charlotte.

I don’t know how strong that bastard’s power will be, but there’s no need to embrace the bomb right now from the imperial position.

“But that’s not the only reason. The imperial family is up to the imperial family, but this Denbergen Academy is also a pretty good place to protect someone.”

“A pretty good place? Even just this time…….”

“Umm, to be precise, the back mountain is outside the academy barrier. And this incident was also possible because an unknown snitch helped them.”

“Are you a snitch?”

“Yes, as long as we catch the snitches inside the academy… Perhaps the safest place on this continent for Charlotte to be is Denbergen Academy.”

Elfin’s words also made sense.

Denbergen Academy is like a fortress to enemies outside.

A fortress where numerous high-ranking mages and seasoned warriors live as professors.

It was said that not only was the barrier magic surrounded by the school, but also the power to respond to the enemy’s invasion was enormous.

‘Just by looking at Charlotte’s side.’

It is a masterpiece right from the start. The Dragon Chairman who has lived for hundreds of years is a classmate.

Is that all he is? An elf with a warrior-level talent who could be said to be the strongest in the imperial family in terms of military power was Charlotte’s teacher.

To go even further, wouldn’t the reincarnated former strongest assassin on the continent stick right next to him?

In some ways, Denbergen Academy was safer than the Imperial Family.

“…… It certainly is.”

“And above all, she thinks that Charlotte herself will leave her academy and she will not want to go anywhere else.”

My head nodded automatically.

I know it right now because I saw it from the side. Charlotte, who had a chance to learn properly, was attending her academy more diligently than anyone else.

She enjoyed learning as she learned magic and sharpened her lack of fighting skills.

For Charlotte, it was too much to ask her to leave the academy because she is being targeted for something you don’t know about.

“Justina, she said that even that lizard could be protected at the academy.”

“Justina?”

I stared at Elfin in amazement.

Actually, the most important thing about Charlotte’s treatment was Justina’s doctor.

It wasn’t impossible for Justina to immediately send her Charlotte away if she felt she was a danger to Den Bergen Academy.

‘I thought Justina would be reluctant because she poses a great threat to the school.’

Rather, Justina declared that she would protect her academy first.

My head tilted because it was a much more positive development than I thought.

Did I take good care of him because he was close to me?

“Justina didn’t elaborate on why she decided that way, but she did.”

Elfin hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Anyway, Charlotte is a precious student at Denbergen Academy. It’s only natural for adults in school to protect students…… Or something.”

The moment I heard those words, I suddenly remembered my daily life from 500 years ago.

Justina, Elfin, and Liwin.

The image of me protecting the three children overlapped with Justina.

“…… You grew up well.”

“Huh? What did you just say?”

“No, nothing.”

“What did you say?! Huh? Tell me!”

I smiled shyly, unable to overcome Elfin’s prompting.

“No, I just think I was really lucky.”

“…… Suddenly?”

Elfin didn’t understand what I was saying and tilted her head, but that was just my honest feeling.

The children who met me 500 years ago and found a place to stay.

The 10 years spent like that were not only fortunate for the children.

I was lucky enough to meet and live with those children.

I was suddenly aware of such an obvious fact, and it only made me feel better without knowing it.
