The Crown Prince Who Raises Alt Characters

#Chapter 109 Magic Sword Forte (11) - Acquired Poison The young man whose main profession was a swordsman didn't know its exact value, but the magic that the demon Divana had given him was extremely powerful. If you had practical mages name it, it would be 'Magic that prevents surrounding disturbances from being detected'. If you had theoretical mages classify and rank it, it would be a 5th rank illusion spell. This spell 'appropriately' handles all types of noise that the young man creates. Rather than simply covering everything with silence, it allows sounds to be made while preventing them from being heard by those around. The moment the spell is applied, the caster can normally converse with companions and can also perceive surrounding sounds. Considering that sound-suppression type spells generally either completely overwrite all types of sounds with silence or make it so even the caster themselves cannot hear surrounding sounds, this was truly a powerful and convenient spell. In other words. "Aaaaaaaaaah!!" Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud! Even though the young man was screaming at the top of his lungs while wildly running through the dormitory corridor, other people didn't wake up from sleep wondering what was happening. From a thief's perspective, it was the best possible result, but as a horror movie victim, it was truly maddening. ～♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫～ Even while the young man ran without rest, the eerie melody wouldn't stop at all. "Let go!! I said let go!!" The young man tried somehow to throw away the sword in his hand, but the sword wouldn't let go. A sensation as if his palm was stuck to the handle. This alone was maddening, but the disheveled black-haired ghost(?) chasing after him from behind with hurried footsteps made him even more terrified. Of course, the ghost—no, Fina—couldn't stop her feet either. Because of a sense of duty that she had to retrieve what was stolen? That wasn't entirely absent, but there was a more important reason. It was because of the voice of 'Sir Magic Sword' being transmitted into her ear in real-time, even at this very moment. 《Contractor, I feel great responsibility. Responsibility for the great error in judgment I committed.》 《Honestly speaking, I thought you as my contractor were following along quite well. I believed that just maintaining the current state would be enough to reach our goal, so I thought there was no need for me to interfere further.》 《That's why I said nothing even when you spent your day off cooped up in your room rolling around all day. I thought it was legitimate and appropriate rest.》 《But it seems my judgment was wrong. To not notice an external intruder opening the door and breaking in while being drunk on sleep—what would have happened if the enemy's goal had been assassination rather than theft?》 《The introduction has gotten long. So I'll keep the main point short.》 《From now on, each time I count a number, one holiday becomes a weekday. One.》 Kyaaaaaaah! Fina screamed inwardly. The reason she didn't let that scream escape her lips was because even the breath to waste on it was precious. 'Give it back!!' Fina's eyes became bloodshot. She is fundamentally an introverted person. However, being introverted doesn't necessarily match being docile. The fierceness of an office worker watching their holidays burn in real time is more intense than fighting dogs in a pit, and Fina was no exception. Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud! Each time Fina's two legs crossed fiercely, the distance between the young man and Fina rapidly narrowed. 《Ah, shit...! This shouldn't be happening.》 Upon confirming that sight, impatience appeared in the eyes of the demon Divana. If the young man gets caught here, things will become complicated in many ways. The original purpose was to drain the opponent's strength and then take advantage of their weakened state to become close, but at this rate, he'll be branded as a thief and lose all the original favorability. 《Damn it, using magic without manifesting is tricky!!》 As Divana exerted her power while being extremely irritated, the darkness near the ground around Fina momentarily gained physical force and grabbed her ankles. Thud! Fina fell forward. 《Good, now escape like this— Fuck, what is that now?》 The demon who was about to give instructions to the young man spat out curses at the scene unfolding before her eyes. Fina, who seemed to have fallen, executed a forward roll and then continued tracking the young man in a half-prone position. Her reddened nose from bumping when she fell and her eyes bloodshot with indescribable emotion were filled with such intensity that even Divana couldn't help but flinch. Blue mana seemed to ripple around Fina's body, and then her body ran at even greater speed than before. Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud! "Aaaaaaah!" At the sound and presence he could feel even without looking, the young man's complexion turned pale blue. Divana tried to block Fina with all kinds of magic, such as making the ground slippery or creating physical barriers with shadows, but Fina continued her pursuit without being discouraged at all, even while falling or bumping into things. From the middle point on, even getting up after falling seemed bothersome, so the key point was that she simply ran wild on all fours. At that ominous momentum, Divana unconsciously gulped. Just look at that face. Despite being the one doing the chasing, doesn't she look exactly like someone being chased! Rattle! Rattle-rattle-rattle! "Open! I said open!!" The terrified young man tried to rush out through the dormitory's main entrance, contrary to his original plan, but the main entrance was firmly locked. And before the young man could find a new method, Fina catching up to him was faster. Thwack! Fina's kick hit the center of the young man's back, and his body bent like a bow as it collided with the door. With a loud noise, one side of the door was torn away, and the young man and Fina were flung out into the plaza in front of the dormitory. Grabbing Forte that had been taken from the young man's hands, Fina cried out. "Sir Magic Sword!" A voice utterly desperate. Realizing the meaning hidden behind those words, Forte answered. 《It looks like you'll have to run for 2 months without rest.》 "Sir Magic Sword...?" 《It seems like it might be 2 months and one more week.》 "Sir Magic Sword...!" While a sword and a girl were filming a comedy skit. The young man was lying face down on the ground, unable to move. Still terrified... was not the case. Originally, horror is mainly about psychological shock rather than physical shock, so once he was beaten by physical attacks, his mind had returned to that of a warrior rather than a horror movie victim. However, even though he now knew the opponent wasn't some unidentified ghost-like being, the situation hadn't particularly improved. The plan the young man and Divana had devised was to steal Fina's sword, then approach her when she had lost her strength and was frustrated, and control her as they wished. But stealing the sword had failed, and not only was he caught in the act, but he was even captured. No matter how gentle Fina's personality was, there was no way she would listen to whatever the young man said in this situation. In other words, only one method remained for them. 《...There's no choice.》 Divana irritably scratched her head inside the accessory and then spoke. 《We have no choice but to subdue the Hero's descendant and confine her somewhere. Once 'that guy' finds out the exact location of the seal, we can somehow drag her there and resolve it then.》 "I see." The young man also agreed. The best method would be to trick Fina into destroying the seal, but if that's impossible, they had to use a second-best option. Above all, this academy was large in scale compared to its number of people, and since the students didn't act according to a set schedule but focused on solving their own quests as they pleased, there was a high possibility that even if one or two students disappeared, it wouldn't be discovered. Shring. Having finished his calculations, the young man quietly got up and drew his sword. "It's regrettable, Miss Fina. I would have preferred to resolve things amicably if possible." As Divana's contractor, the mana he received from her enveloped the young man's body. Unlike Balzares who possessed the powerful ability called 'Copy' and lived off that alone, Divana was a balanced type who possessed quite a variety of abilities. The young man's physical abilities became stronger, his sword aura which had merely enhanced his sword now gained physical force of its own and was sublimated into Sword Force, and he was even granted magical abilities he originally didn't possess. Above all, unlike Marik who was Balzares' contractor and was thoroughly incompetent, the young man chosen by Divana was capable enough to pass the entrance exam with his own abilities alone. Facing the young man who calmly took his stance with a face full of melancholy and determination, Fina hesitated to speak. Half-unconsciously, the young man tried to predict what she would say. Would it be shock at why he was doing such a thing? Or perhaps betrayal at the fact that he had tried to use her? Either emotion would be understandable, so the young man didn't carelessly make excuses. He was well aware that he was committing evil acts. He just had something he wanted to achieve even if it meant doing so. "Um, well." "What is it, Miss Fina?" "You have a leaf stuck in your hair." "......?" "And some dirt on your cheek too." Fina pointed to her own face with her finger as if to say "here." The young man checked the same spot with trembling hands and soon discovered the leaf stuck there. He recalled his own appearance just moments ago when he had delivered his lines while trying to create a solemn atmosphere with this thing attached. It was hell. Along with intense shame, the young man charged toward Fina. Fina was flustered. Although it was certainly a situation where self-defense would be justified, she wasn't ruthless enough to swing a sword at someone who had once been a comrade— 《If you succeed in subduing him without allowing a single hit, I'll pretend the vacation cutting never happened.》 —Thwaaack! Forte, swung with its sheath, struck the young man's face directly.
