“that… … I think we’d better talk after we finish eating.”

“Okay. wait in front.”

After saying that, Iolin turned around and walked away.

However, his gaze toward Abel remained the same. As soon as she left, Daniel spoke again.

“Abel.”

“Probably because of the training.”

“Are you alone on a holiday?”

“Originally, the two of us trained.”

“Where are you going?”

“You weren’t really interested in this kind of thing, were you?”

Abel narrowed his eyes and asked Daniel.

He didn’t seem to be very interested in me normally, but lately he seemed to be very obsessive.

Daniel shrugged and replied.

“There hasn’t been anything particularly fun lately.”

“Oh yeah… … .”

“okay okay. I won’t ask any more.”

Luckily, Daniel brought up another topic before Abel’s mood got even more low.

“By the way, what are you going to do on vacation? Oh, did I tell you last time? Didn’t you just say you were going to train all vacation?”

“I’m going to do some training, but I’m going to be out and about a lot. you?”

“I intend to stay and train. When I went back, there was nothing to do. But if outside, where?”

“what… … The schedule hasn’t been decided yet… … .”

Abel emptied the plate and spoke again.

“I think it would be nice to go out and play for a day or two.”

“Are you going to play? Where?”

“That is also undecided. Would you like to go with me if you are interested?”

“I am fine! I was going to stay stuck in the dormitory anyway.”

Daniel readily accepted.

I had expected it to be so.

‘Because I and Daniel are in a similar situation.’

Abel was like a single person in this place.

There were important people and places like that, but there was no home or family to return to.

Daniel was the same.

Even if it wasn’t for training, he wouldn’t mind going back to his original place.

“Oh, it looks like Mei will still be at school. Shall we ask?”

“okay. It would be nice if there were more people.”

“that’s right. I will ask Henna when she returns.”

Abel nodded.

Even if it wasn’t, I was thinking of making the same offer to Henna as soon as I got back.

‘I’ll be back soon.’

According to Scarlett’s earlier, he’ll be back in a few days.

I hadn’t seen her face since then, so I was a bit worried.

At first, it was to some extent that we became close for a purpose, but now, without realizing it, affection was built up.

“Then I wake up first. We’ll talk about the details later.”

“okay.”

Daniel nodded and leaned forward slightly.

“If you have any interesting stories, tell me too.”

“… … Goes.”

Abel stood up from his seat, ignoring him neatly.

After returning the plate, I came out and saw an aioline standing not far away.

It really had been waiting for him outside the whole time.

Abel was embarrassed inside and approached her.

“Did you wait long?”

“no. Anyway, that’s what I said earlier.”

“Oh, do you have time on the weekend? Can you tell me where you are going?”

Iolin answered without much hesitation.

“I’m thinking of going back to buy an artifact that will help with magic response. Can I get some help?”

“An artifact? Where are you going to buy it?”

“I am still thinking about that. I don’t know much about the geography of the islands.”

Abel was about to ask why he was going to buy it himself, but he held back.

‘This guy’s personality was originally like that.’

Iolin was a member of the family who was highly expected, and in reality, he was a device that lived up to those expectations.

Perhaps if she asked her family for the artifact she wanted, she would be able to get the highest quality item without any difficulty.

However, Eolin basically did not like receiving family support.

I guess I want to solve everything on my own.

That must have been the reason why he dared to ask his fellow cadet, Abel, for help regarding magical power transmission.

This case seemed to be in the same context.

“okay. I was thinking of going out anyway.”

“okay? I’m glad.”

Iolin smiled lightly at Abel’s acceptance.

Abel paused momentarily at the smile on her lips, which had always been expressionless.

“Then how about Saturday morning?”

“huh? Ah yes. are you okay.”

“okay. Then I’ll be waiting for you here on Saturday morning.”

Iolyn then said goodbye and left first.

Abel stared blankly at her back for a moment, then moved slowly.

* * *

Throughout the officially granted leave period, Abel visited Carlton to train.

That training method was to the point of sticking out its tongue, saying that it was simply ignorant, but Abel digested it without saying anything.

It wasn’t because he said he wouldn’t object at the beginning of the contract, but because he had faith.

‘At least the results are guaranteed.’

Knowing Carlton and deciding to visit him were all thanks to his knowledge of the game.

If I hadn’t believed it in the first place, there would have been no reason to go looking for it.

So, of course, the belief in the result was also the same.

The belief that if you digest this training, you will definitely grow.

If it wasn’t difficult, that was a separate issue.

“Ugh, I’m going to die.”

Abel muttered as he lay on the bed.

Normally, I would get up and go wash up as soon as I opened my eyes, but today I couldn’t.

It was because the muscle pain was at its peak.

Carlton knew that Abel would not be able to visit regularly, so he set up a separate training schedule.

Abel followed the training schedule without any loose ends, which made him feel weaker as the day went on.

Of course, Carlton didn’t plan the training schedule without thinking.

‘Still, it’s fortunate that there is a holiday.’

According to the training law, after three days of training, it was supposed to rest for one day.

that is today

Even with all the means of recovery within the academy, the limits were clear.

With that in mind, a day of rest after three days of training was a very appropriate distribution.

‘I have a physical training class today, so I guess I’ll have to rest in the morning.’

After reviewing the schedule for the day in his head, Abel closed his eyes and took a break.

It was near the time of the morning lecture when he got up from bed.

“Ugh.”

Abel woke up screaming in pain and went straight to the shower room and then to the restaurant.

Even though there was not much time left for the lecture, the restaurant was quite crowded.

It is probably the people who came to eat right before the lecture after training late.

I had told Daniel to eat first, so Abel took a table by himself and sat down.

The rice didn’t go well because I was sick, but I somehow managed to stuff it into my mouth and quickly finished the meal.

‘The first class was meditation.’

Fortunately, the classroom wasn’t too far away.

Abel immediately left the dormitory building and headed for the building where the lecture was being held.

But while walking for a while. someone talked to him

“Abel!”

cheerful voice.

Abel involuntarily turned his head and opened his eyes wide.

“Henna?”

“huh. good morning.”

Henna came over as if nothing had happened and greeted her casually.

Abel nodded slightly and replied.

“good morning. Are you taking the lecture again from today?”

“huh. Because I rested enough.”

Henna said with a smile.

Officially, the reason Henna missed the lecture was because of personal health problems.

Hena knew that Abel knew the truth, but she knew very well that she shouldn’t say it in a public place like this.

“I’m glad. Are you okay?”

“of course. Rather, it seems stronger than before?”

Henna trembled and replied.

Seeing her bright appearance, Abel said with a smile.

“By the way, isn’t your classroom this way? It would be the exact opposite.”

“huh? ah! right.”

Henna realized it belatedly and said goodbye right away.

“Let’s go! See you after the lecture!”

“okay.”

Abel nodded moderately and moved on again.

Unlike usual, I was heading to the lecture hall alone, so I was in a different mood, but that feeling didn’t last long.

For some reason, it was because I felt the stinging stares around me.

To be precise, it was the gaze I felt shortly after starting the conversation with Henna, but even after she left, the gaze did not leave.

I just rolled my eyes and looked around, and the cadets around me were looking at Abel with sharp eyes.

mostly male cadets.

“Is that him?”

“From violin to henna… … .”

When I focused a little more on that, I even heard the sound of conversation at first glance.

When Abel heard this, he was taken aback.

‘I was originally close with Henna.’

Why did you come here and put it in your mouth?

It seems that the conversation I had with Iolin at the restaurant had a bigger ripple effect than I thought.

Actually, it was a natural thing.

The relationship between Abel and Olynn was very business-like.

The problem, however, was that Eolin hardly got along with anyone except Abel.

At least I had one friend from the same area, but I treated him as an exception because he was of the same s*x and felt like a childhood friend.

‘It’s unfortunate.’

It was unfortunate for Abel, but there was no way he could do anything about it.

Because I couldn’t go out and explain that we weren’t like that.

It wasn’t a big deal compared to the other worries he was having right now, but somehow Abel felt uncomfortable and moved on.

The lecture went on as usual.

The instructors seemed to be constantly tired, as if the aftermath of the past incident still remained, but the lecture itself remained the same as before.

The cadets, who had been exhausted from the unprecedentedly long break, gradually returned to their original form.

After all the scheduled lectures are over.

“Oh, I saw it in the morning too.”

“okay?”

Abel was walking out of the classroom talking with Daniel.

The subject of the story was none other than henna.

“huh. They said they had to wait for someone and told me to go first.”

“hmm.”

At Daniel’s words, Abel made a strange expression.

When I saw it in the morning, I thought it was just a coincidence, but listening to Daniel, I felt that it wasn’t like that.

But I couldn’t dwell on it for long.

“Abel! Daniel!”

A familiar voice called out to them both.

“Henna!”

Daniel waved his hand with a bright face.

Henna was holding a book in one hand as if she had arrived right after the lecture.

Abel said to her.

“How do you feel about listening to a lecture after a long time?”

“It’s the same. Still, it’s been a while since I’ve heard it, so it’s kind of fun.”

Hena replied lightly, looking at Abel and Daniel in turn.

“Anyway, let’s go to the restaurant first. I’m hungry.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

I didn’t want to stand still and talk, so the three continued the conversation while moving.

“The final exams have been canceled, and the academic schedule has been shortened, so vacation is just a few weeks away.”

“I know. It feels like time has suddenly passed.”

“Still, it’s good that the vacation period has been extended.”

While chatting, when the topic of vacation came up, Daniel opened his mouth as if he remembered something.

“Oh, would you like to go out with me during vacation?”

“You want to go play?”

“huh. with Abel. If possible, Maydo as well. It would be nice if there were more people.”

“Where are you going to play?”

“well… … Haven’t decided on that yet. Just wander around the suburbs or inside the islands.”

“no way. Then you feel less like going out to play.”

“You can’t go anywhere, can you? It’s dangerous outside.”

As Daniel said, this world was not a very safe place.

Because fragments of the giant are scattered everywhere.

It’s only that you don’t realize it because it’s in a much safer system than anywhere else, but there are quite a lot of areas that humans have not conquered on this continent.

Henna seemed to think for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“Then, how about going to our villa?”
