“Cough, cough, cough…”
She endured the severe pain and tried to get up with trembling hands.
Pah! Pah! Pah...
There was applause from behind.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful! You truly are one of Manakos's most outstanding students."
A flash of anger flashed in Alicia's eyes.
She gritted her teeth, stood up, and continued to run forward.
"That won't do~!"
boom--!
Another column of water flew over.
Alicia was blown away again.
Crash!
Then the burning wall of fire was extinguished by a sudden surge of water.
Ruilan Green walked towards Alicia slowly from behind.
He raised his right hand.
Not even a wand was used.
call out--!
A small stream of water passed by Alicia and scratched her arm.
"Miss Alicia, as an outstanding student of our Manax, it's essential for you to be able to recognize your current situation."
Ruilan Green seemed to be teasing her, walking slowly towards her while continuously launching magical attacks that avoided vital points.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
"And yet you made such a low-level mistake~."
"Alicia-san—"
"You have to take criticism well~."
The water magic attack caused Alicia's injuries to increase rapidly.
The clothes on his body were quickly soaked with blood.
The color was not visible due to the black robe, but the liquid dripping from the corner of the clothes still dyed the ground red.
Alicia gritted her teeth and silently endured the opponent's attack.
"Give me..."
"Um?"
Raylan Green stopped attacking.
"Alicia-san, do you want to say something~?"
"Just shut up!!!"
Alicia raised her head and glared at Ruilan Green.
"You betrayed the academy! You betrayed everyone who trusted you! You betrayed your race!"
"People like you... People like you..."
"You are no longer qualified to call yourself an academy--!!!"
“… …”
Ruilan Green's expression completely disappeared at this moment.
He stared at Alicia with cold eyes.
"... ...Yeah?"
... ...
boom--!
A figure flew out.
He fell heavily to the ground.
"What's going on here?"
"Is there another enemy attack?"
“… …”
The armed men of Gulos, seeing this scene, raised their weapons in response.
boom--!
At this moment, a stream of water flew out and hit the figure lying on the ground, knocking her out again.
"...How much can you understand me?!"
The figure of Ruilan Green slowly walked out.
"betray?"
boom--!
Alicia was blown away again.
“I have never betrayed my beliefs!!!”
Boom...
"What's going on? This is..."
The Gulos armed men who were originally preparing to take action looked at each other in confusion.
"Never mind him. Anyway, it doesn't seem like a situation that requires us to take action."
"That's right, let's watch the show."
“That makes sense…”
The other side.
Alicia fell to the ground covered in wounds.
Raylan Green stopped attacking and walked closer to her.
"You know nothing, what are you yelling about?"
"... ...you say... ..."
Alicia supported herself on the ground with her hands and slowly raised her upper body.
He stared at Ruilan Green with a sharp look.
"...faith?"
"Oh--"
A laugh escaped her lips.
"Stop joking!"
"What kind of belief can make you abandon everything?!"
“… …”
Ruilan Green stared at Alicia, looking into her eyes without any sign of surrender.
Then he sighed.
"Alas, people like you really can't understand..."
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
"...Long ago, I probably had the same passion and determination as you do..."
“But after I deeply experienced what it means to lose something, I realized how fragile and powerless human transience is.”
"Why are humans so short-lived?"
"I thought about it for a long time. As I was thinking, time passed by little by little, making my limited life even more limited."
"At that time."
"I suddenly understood. Since it's short, why not just make it longer?"
"so--"
"I want to study the secret of eternal life!"
"I know this will consume even more of my already limited time, but I've still spent most of my life studying life, all with the goal of finding a path to eternal life!"
"It's just that... this kind of research is too difficult."
"Do you know that in the distant past, in an era known as the Age of Chaos, there existed many beings known as innate divine beings?"
"They were born from heaven and earth, eternally alive. They don't need to do anything to possess eternal life. How enviable..."
