The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 96



Only Krnovel

“yap!”

Aro confidently cast the spell. A small fire appeared above the red amulet that Aro took out.

The second shelter, which we reached with difficulty, was also a cave. Unlike the first shelter, there was no firewood, so we planned to light a fire later.

“How do you feel?”

“and. Great.”

It was Aro who stepped forward at that time. Winter accepted Aro’s smirk. It was not a joke to me, but it was helpful.

“If you have magic, it will keep burning.”

“Ugh. It’s warm.”

I squinted my eyes and looked at Winter. The guy who had been so lively until just now suddenly became slumped.

“Where does it hurt?”

“Huh? Oh, no. I guess I’m just relaxed because it’s a shelter. I’m really tired.”

Winter answered with a faint smile. Aro, who was sniffing beside Winter, tilted his head.

“Let’s have dinner early and rest.”

I prepared dinner early for Winter, who was tired. She had originally planned to get more firewood, but thanks to Aro’s magic, she had time left.

“If you’re tired, go to sleep first. I’ll wake you up later to be on night watch.”

“… … thank you.”

Winter looked sorry, but did not refuse. He wondered if he was that tired, but another reason came to mind.

“Are you sick?”

“Probably not.”

As soon as Aro got into the sleeping bag, he noticed Winter was sleeping soundly and slowly approached her.

I shook my head at Aro’s words. Her eyes widened as if she was surprised by my affirmation.

“There is a phenomenon where the sacred power disappears as you head to the sacred place.”

“Divine power?”

“yes. The higher the altitude, the more so. They say it disappears completely in the end.”

Aro’s face changed ambiguously. Divine power is something like the magic of a wizard. It is something that makes a priest a priest.

“Should we consider it similar to a wizard’s magic power?”

“Yes. It’s almost the same.”

“… … “All of that disappears.”

Only then did Aro realize the gravity of the situation. Dike, who Winter had visited, said that he felt all the blood draining from his body in an instant.

“I don’t think I can handle it.”

“Is that so?”

Aro showed his worries as they were. I looked at Aro with an interested face.

“For a wizard, magic power is something special. If it disappears, it’s no different from death.”

“hmm.”

“This is especially true for someone who has been a wizard for a long time.”

I’m not very familiar with magic, so it didn’t come across easily. It hasn’t been that long since I became an apostle, so it should be okay.

“It will be a forced march tomorrow.”

“Uhm. “Then I guess I’ll have to make what I need.”

Still, safety was the most important. I was planning on climbing it completely when I had the strength.

I didn’t know what would happen over time, and it was obvious that rest wouldn’t have much effect. Aro, with a serious expression on his face, took out something from his arms.

“… … “Where did you get that from?”

“In the fur.”

Aro took out a red talisman with nothing written on it from his fur.

It was a wonder where the amulet, which was much larger than the palm of an adult man’s hand, came from. He even took out a brush.

“What is that?”

“Restore stamina, boost morale, and strengthen the mind.”

“hmm.”

This is what magic is good for. Magic creates one magic through a set process. That’s why it’s difficult to increase the number of magic types.

However, since there is no set process for magic, there are numerous combinations, and it is easy to create a variety of magic spells on the spot.

“It won’t have a huge effect, but if you have it, you’ll feel it. I specialize in curses.”

Instead, its power was infinitely lower, but its versatility was good. She was able to replace Winter, who had not yet learned proper sacred magic.

“I will write it gratefully.”

“what. are you okay.”

Aro, who had created two talismans, returned to Winter’s arms with a giggle. I fixed my gaze on Aro.



The forced march continued. As soon as we woke up, we had a hearty breakfast, unlike usual, and quickly climbed the snowy mountain.

Aro put on the talisman that he had made himself and walked with difficult steps.

“If you can’t do it, tell me.”

“… … eww. yes.”

The number of times I look back has increased. It was very different from yesterday, when I was vivid with Aro’s passive skills.

Winter gritted her teeth as she listened to the sound of the bell hanging from her backpack.

“It’s worse than I thought.”

Aro looked at Winter sadly. It was not easy to force such a forceful march with such a small and fragile body.

But I couldn’t say anything because I saw the will to somehow move forward on my own. I was also experiencing the strange events that Winter was having a hard time with.

“It looks like the body has been dismembered.”

“… … That’s about it.”

Not only Winter but I also had divine powers. A much thicker concentration of divine power. Two hours after leaving the second shelter, I was on my knees.

A feeling of loss, as if losing a part of the body. This is because her mind became dizzy due to the sense of emptiness that came through that gap. But thanks to the silent bell, she quickly recovered.

“Fuck the weather.”

Now the weather wasn’t helping either. The heavy snowstorm, which made it difficult to see even two meters ahead, muffled even the sound of people’s voices.

“green onion… … “The arm.”

I quickly turned my head at the faint sound of words coming from behind me. Winter’s hand holding her shoulder was shaking.

She collapsed and kept mumbling the word ‘arm’ while touching my shoulder.

-Daughter.

It was only after the bell rang once that I came to my senses.

“Gwae, it’s okay.”

Winter, realizing I was watching her, stood up. When he said it was okay, I turned around and walked away.

“That. Isn’t it a little cold?”

“I may be cold. However, I would not arbitrarily do a good deed for a child who wants to go on his own.”

I answered Aro’s cautious words firmly. The pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a process of evolving as a human being in and of itself.

I was quite happy with this process. The help was enough even after Winter gave up.

“Your junior, are you holding up well? Even though I don’t have divine power.”

“It’s bearable.”

Of course, the silent support was very helpful. But I got used to the feeling of loss, so I was able to endure it.

“Anyway, my arms and legs are all there. “It’s no different from deception.”

“Your faith is amazing.”

I was confident. This wasn’t just a feeling of the body actually disappearing, as it seemed.

The knowledge I gained from playing games in modern times gave me confidence and faith. There was no fear of a moment of loss.

“Is this the right way?”

“Perfect. We passed the third shelter 15 minutes ago.”

Aro’s role also became important. Aro, who was simply playing on my jumper, was impressed by Winter’s appearance of gritting his teeth and taking a step forward.

So I volunteered to be a guide. I used a compass and map to find my way through the blizzard where I couldn’t see even an inch ahead.

“On the mountain! Finding your way! “Let’s just lie down and eat rice cake!”

In case I lost my mind, Aro kept talking to me and Winter.

Because of the blizzard, I had to almost shout when talking to Winter because I couldn’t hear well.

“… … wow. mountain.”

“Yes! The Far East! Is 70% mountainous! That’s why!”

I, who had been silently listening to Aro’s explanation, suddenly stopped. I slowly turned my head back.

“… … You worked hard. amazing.”

Unable to bear the physical exhaustion and mental pain caused by the sense of loss, Winter collapsed.

He didn’t just kneel down, he completely fell forward. Although Aro was sinking, he praised me in an amazing voice.

“Iknow, right. “We’re almost there now.”

I slowly approached Winter. Her face, which had not been properly washed, was covered with tear stains. I quickly wiped away the tears in the cold weather that could freeze her.

After briefly checking to see if there were any injuries, I lifted Winter up. I tied Winter to my body with the rope I took from Winter’s backpack.

“You might feel a little frustrated.”

“are you okay. “I’m not complaining.”

The backpack on your back is large and blocks your view. Eventually, Winter had to be tied up in a hugged position on her front.

I asked Aro for his understanding, as I had to tie it tightly so that it wouldn’t shake. Aro told me not to worry and helped Winter tie it up a little.

“How much time do we have now?”

“approximately. “Two to three hours.”

Including the backpack, the weight was about 60kg. The hike that had felt light became heavy.

But the adaptive body Anaye had given her could easily withstand that much weight. It wasn’t far to the Holy Land.

“Please just ring the bell. I will spare my words. “It’s hard to breathe.”

“okay. Still, I’ll keep talking. “You don’t have to answer.”

The wind that had been blowing from the side suddenly started blowing from the front. It seemed as if it was pushing away those who were coming up.

When I opened my mouth with that, my eyes started to come in and it bothered me. Aro answered my question and placed his hand on my heart area from the jumper.

“Do you know that your sweat smells like the sea?”

Aro, who was completely hidden inside the jumper thanks to the winter riding in front of him, continued to talk.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the unexpected smell of sweat.

“Really? The Far East is surrounded by the sea on three sides. I know a lot about the sea. It’s not the unpleasant smell of sweat, it’s the smell of salty water that you get at the beach.”

In Aro’s dialogue that we saw in the game, the word ‘smell’ appears a lot. There was also a description that he has a good sense of smell.

I thought it was right since that’s what he said. Come to think of it, I hadn’t sweated much since I acquired my adaptive body.

“Actually, I was trying to use you. I like good looks, but I’m not this handsome. “When I first met you, you smelled funny.”

I couldn’t answer because of the heavy snowstorm, but I was intrigued.

It’s honestly hard to understand why he suddenly revealed his true feelings, but it wasn’t bad to hear.

“Do you know the divine beast called the Kirin? In our Far East, there are many divine beasts and spirits, and among them there is one called the Kirin. According to literature, it has the body of a deer and the scales of a snake, and it is said to fly in the sky and spread lightning.”

In [Difficult Dungeon], there is only one scenario related to the Far East, and that is only accessible as a character episode.

Even though Aro was the heroine, I never heard any stories related to the Far East. So, information about the Far East was relatively lacking.

“The smell that that giraffe smells on you, too. It smells like water and the purest lightning. “I thought it might be helpful as our family is in need of divine help right now.”

I just walked without answering. Perhaps embarrassed by what he said, Aro cleared his throat slightly and stuck his head out slightly.

“The road is going well. If we keep going like this, we’ll get there in no time.”

After confirming that he was going the right way, Aro looked at Winter’s complexion. She was clearly breathing, albeit roughly.

Judging from the fact that his complexion wasn’t pale, it didn’t seem like a dangerous situation. After checking for safety, I walked for a while again.

“Is there a spell that can wake people up?”

“hmm? uh. There is something similar. why? “Wake me up?”

About an hour has passed. I asked, just in case. Aro said it was possible and asked if he would wake Winter up.

“Yes, please.”

“hmm. okay.”

I put Winter down. Aro shook the bell repeatedly and took the talisman out of the product and stuck it on Winter’s forehead.

And then I patted Winter’s cheek without any pain.

“Ugh.”

Winter slowly opened her eyes with a small groan. The tears she hadn’t been able to wipe away were frozen and it was hard to open them.

“Seo, senior.”

“Get up. “It won’t be long.”

I helped Winter up and pointed to a place with my finger. It was a place where a soft yellow glow gathered in a world full of pure white snow.

“… … Over there.”

After walking for about 10 minutes, the snowstorm mysteriously disappeared. With that, my vision became clearer.

Winter, who had been walking as I had heard, had a face filled with emotion.

“Sanctuary. Or holy place.”

Two unusually sharp peaks. A city was floating between the high peaks touching the clouds.

There were no thick clouds over the city to bring down snow. Warm sunlight was streaming down through the gaps in the round clouds.

“……It’s beautiful.”

“great job.”

Winter sat down with a thud and shed tears as she took in the wondrous sight of the holy land.

Before I knew it, Aro was out of my arms, came up to Winter, and patted her thigh, saying she had worked hard.

“We have arrived.”

With this, we have arrived at the end of the sacred mountain range, the holy land.
