A few weeks before the final exam.

I looked around the status window to check.

Five years have passed since I came here before I knew it.

I haven’t run away yet.

It’s hard to tell whether he didn’t do it or not, but he still stayed by Elijah’s side.

There are many reasons, but first of all Elijah and I are good….

… It’s not bad.

It is hard to imagine that a strangling tragedy would occur.

For the second reason, the time for the tragedy was not yet over.

But these days, I feel it, and it seems that time is coming.

The appearances of Elijah and I in the tragedy, which I saw vaguely at that time, are very similar to these days when we are both adults.

‘Is it time to decide what to do….’

Anyway, if it has changed in 5 years, a lot has changed, and if it stays the same, there are surprisingly many things that have remained the same.

First of all, the characteristics haven’t changed much.

In the early days of entering the training center, he got involved in various incidents and acquired various characteristics.

However, there has been no such incident since it has been stably established and recognized.

It wasn’t smooth sailing.

There were many twists and turns, but they were manageable.

As a result, there is only one new trait added in 5 years: Horse Riding.

Instead, the existing characteristics have grown considerably.

Suddenly, the level of swordsmanship exceeded double digits.

The stats had no choice but to grow significantly.

Because he trains frequently and voluntarily, he rose quickly.

All of these are changes that only I can confirm.

There was something else that stood out.

-Shuaaa….

The pouring water is cold.

Cool down the body heated up by morning training.

A misty mark on the mirror.

Erase by hand.

A mirror that used to be so tall that only the upper body could be seen.

Now the whole body is illuminated.

A body that fills the mirror.

I remember the first time I came here and checked the mirror.

A little boy was in front.

As the word says, there were only bones.

A body with increased minor scars and scars from hard training and missions.

What stands out more than that is the tightly swollen muscles.

‘Recently, I was 186 cm tall. Was it 89 kg?’

A body almost identical to the reincarnation was completed.

It is the result of eating well, resting well, and exercising well.

It was painful to do the same thing again, but I managed to do it.

“Uh, Judas.”

The shower room is one of the places where candidates often meet.

It was Leo who called me.

5 Years ago, when I went to find a guy named Envinil, the candidate who got in my way.

At the time, because of what Salaman had done, Room 5 was evicted as a group.

Two of them remain.

Leo and Cooper.

Thanks to not being involved in Salaman and Gaston’s affairs.

We didn’t get along very well at the time, but we soon became quite close.

“I heard that the last exam isn’t far away?”

“It must have been a week later.”

“Are you going to pass this time again?”

I have passed all the exams in one go, without failing.

“If possible, I will.”

“It’s amazing that you can even say that.”

In the early days of enlistment, we fought a lot.

Because I have the personality to fight if I get into a fight.

After being knocked over a few times, there was less to fight about.

After that, I became moderately friendly with other room candidates.

Even with Cooper, who blocked the road with Leo at the time, it was okay.

Aside from that, there are many other candidates who are not bad.

“Yes. I went up to 2nd place at the training center at once, and it’s understandable.”

And then, I became the 2nd strongest candidate in this training center.

“I’m looking forward to it. Other kids besides me.”

Until I get to this position, not a single candidate has become Elijah’s escort driver.

Not even a candidate passed the final exam.

There were also rumors like this.

That Elijah had no intention of selecting her escort knights.

She deliberately gave me a test that I couldn’t solve, and set up a plan to make me give up on my own.

‘Well…. I don’t know if it really is.’

Anyway.

The reason for putting expectations on me is simple.

Even if I become an escort knight, that rumor will prove to be a blatant lie.

“Your shoulders are heavy.”

I don’t know if I should rejoice at the good friendship.

‘Anyway, I….’

After washing, I came because someone was looking for me.

“Mr. Judas! I do.”

Outside the training camp.

A woman waved her hand in the distance.

The black livery of a knight of the prestigious House of Bebel.

Brown hair and freckles are in stark contrast.

“How come you seem taller than yesterday?”

She lifted her tiptoe and looked at my head.

Hermis.

She once looked up at her, she now looked down at her.

“If it grows that much in one day, it is not a person, but a bamboo.”

“When I think of the day we first met, it looks like bamboo….”

Hermis still follows me as my escort.

Because Balak’s check is not over yet.

Balak doesn’t do as much harm as he used to.

Survey instead.

Hermis warned me every time I went out.

Someone is watching.

There is no follow-up at all times.

Shylock told me that there are people watching me even inside the training camp.

Shylock received such an order.

Fortunately, Shylock’s role as a double agent has not yet been discovered by Balak.

‘But it’s strange. I know that after the Salaman and Gaston incident, Elijah personally coordinated personnel at the training center….’

But there are still some suspicious people inside the training center.

Something Elijah might not be able to touch.

I don’t know everything about Elijah.

“Five years is as big as this.”

“Not usually, but…. I envy you when you look at it. I wish I was a little bit taller.”

“Are you already grown up?”

Hermis is one of the tallest girls of her age.

About 173cm by eye measure?

“Still, there are times when I feel like that while working as a knight. Anyway, that’s not what’s important. As for the land ownership she mentioned last time….”

Hermis pulled the folder from her bosom.

She said while looking through her hand.

“It was done. From now on, part of Jericho’s territory will belong to Judas. As much as the zoning drawn under it.”

I contacted the information guild early and helped.

There is only one purpose.

To prepare a place to stay after escaping from this place.

The results are right in front of you.

The territory regained by the advance of mankind.

Jericho.

Information The guild bought it, and I bought back some of the land.

I greatly benefited from connecting Yuridike and Orphe.

‘About 1/4 the size of Jericho.’

A size that will last long after you build your own house.

‘… Run away.’

Tragedy. Elijah.

Is it the right decision for her to leave her and run away….

“Mr. Yuda?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t like something? You don’t look good.”

“… Ah. No. Just….”

Unbeknownst to me, there was power between my eyebrows.

He smiled and looked around as if it was no big deal.

“Now I am worried about what to build on this land.”

This is not an empty word.

What I bought is the land, not the house.

It was also a land that had just been recaptured.

There is no house like a house.

“Oh, did you? Just in time, Yuri said she had something to offer.”

“A suggestion?”

“Yes. They say they plan to build a city by building a wall around Jericho.”

Hermis came to the side.

I put my finger on the map I’m holding and draw an imaginary line.

“What I am thinking of right now is a shape that wraps around the center like this. But originally, I thought of a bigger circle. Like this.”

Hermis drew a larger circle.

“However, I need Judas-sama’s consent to do this.”

“Because it spans my land, that’s right.”

“If you permit me, I will pay you the compensation. He also said that if there was something he wanted, he would consider it in a way that would benefit Yuda-sama.”

This is a tempting suggestion.

In fact, the Jericho of the future I knew was also a fortress and a city with great walls.

“I like it.”

“I will inform Yuri right away. Is there anything else you would like?”

“I wish I had a house….”

“Do you have any conditions in mind? Like the style or the size.”

“There is no such thing. Not yet.”

“Okay.”

Hermis wrote down the contents to convey to Eurydice.

He sighed inwardly.

The escape plan is being prepared step by step.

Actually, we’re almost done.

Now I can leave this place if I want to.

I have the power to do that.

I also found a place to stay.

I became close enough to the information guild to hide my identity and whereabouts.

‘But….’

The final exam is just a few weeks away.

What should I do?

*

The formal training at the training center today is relatively easy.

This is a kind of theory class.

As an escort knight, how to behave when serving a master.

The mindset when faced with such a situation, things like that.

After putting a random target on the wagon, check how it behaves.

Guard knights are nobility’s accessories.

To that extent, they are also forced to have dignity and etiquette.

This is the time I hate the most.

‘I’ll be eating a few sets of pull-ups by then.’

You can’t leave just because you don’t like it.

The road to the training ground was noisy.

Just as the training schedule is divided for each section, it is also divided according to the candidate’s skills and passed exams.

Only top candidates can participate in this training.

So, it means that those who talk next to me are in the upper ranks like me.

“No, I just wanted to win, didn’t I? That bear’s head was cut off, that’s it, what’s the point of the process!”

Richard.

“Consequential judgment is not good. By fine-tuning the process, you can increase your success rate the next time something like this happens….”

Dylan.

“Stop fighting over things. When did you finish that mission?”

And it’s Lindell.

You will be ranked 3rd, 5th, and 10th at the training center, respectively.

The subject of intense discussion for weeks is the last mission.

A mission where the four of us hunted a bear.

It’s not just a bear, it’s a monstrous bear that has become huge due to the influence of mana.

The size was probably larger than a four-seater wagon.

Those who were young like me have all grown up without realizing it.

Richard is about the same height as me, and the other two are a bit shorter.

There is no big difference.

It’s because the special food that Elijah started serving five years ago was almost taken to all in Room 13.

There are several reasons, but first of all, there was no change in the number of people in our room.

As we continued to build up our skills and cooperate, our hands and feet got along well, and the more we did, the easier it was to win special meals.

As a result, I ate special meals often, and as much as I ate well, I grew up better than others.

It is easy to win because you have grown up well, and a virtuous cycle has been formed in which you eat special meals.

“Hey, Lindell. I’m not doing this because I want to fight? But what if you just think about him arguing? What do I do with my temper?”

“Doesn’t that mean that I couldn’t control my emotions after all because I was angry with my imagination?”

“Anyway, it’s your fault!”

“Honestly, if Judas hadn’t stopped him at that time, he would have been seriously injured.”

“Um….”

At that point, even Richard kept his mouth shut.

This squabble always ends like this.

Richard then threw himself recklessly and lost his balance.

The bear’s front paw struck him fiercely.

Those big forepaws the size of a human upper body.

And then, I managed to intervene and block it.

“Well, that’s right….”

“Thank you for life.”

He spoke in an exaggeratedly solemn voice.

At this Richard giggled and bowed his head in an equally exaggerated way.

“Yeah, thank you very much.”

The fight that had been futile like that had subsided.

“… Is the atmosphere strange?”

As soon as we arrived at the place, Lindell muttered.

It was as he said.

A stiff atmosphere for some reason.

In particular, the article in charge of training was hardened.

He saw us and beckoned us to come.

“I have something to inform you before today’s training begins.”

At what he continued to say, my body froze.

“Miss Elijah has informed me that she will be observing the training today.”

As her escape plan became more and more concrete, I felt uncomfortable confronting her.

I don’t know what you mean.

It also resembled guilt.

Looking at her, it seems that someone is stabbing a corner of her heart.

So I try not to see it as often as possible.

It’s not something that comes to mind.

Because we live under the same roof.

Maybe it’s because the purchase of Jericho’s territory has been confirmed, so it’s more inconvenient.

You have to run away.

I promised that I would.

Because Elijah is a wicked woman.

She might die to her.

But now, five years have passed.

I had to admit.

She is not the villain I knew.

As an illegitimate child with many enemies, he must have taken care of the dirty work.

You could call her a villain.

But not the lunatic I used to know.

Neither a homicidal maniac nor a pyromaniac.

Why did she change?

I’ve been thinking about it, but there is only one conclusion.

A very arrogant and cheeky conclusion.

Because I intervened.

I don’t know exactly what caused it, but because of me, she changed.

Still, is it right for her to leave her like that?

It’s a conclusion, but.

Looking back.

Thanks to Elijah, everything that has allowed me to grow to this age and be safe in a place where I feel like she belongs.

It’s something I can’t help but be thankful for.

‘… Really, is that the only reason?’

I have been attached for a long time for 5 years.

He still feeds me, and even crawls into my bed sometimes at night.

Elijah still doesn’t seem to know about s*xuality.

I quickly guessed the cause of the slightly deformed reaction.

Sardis.

The horror she almost suffered that day became a trauma and left a scar on Elijah’s mind.

As a result of that, Elijah was still s*xually active, and she unconsciously rejected such things.

I thought so.

There is just one problem.

‘I am not… ! Sorry, but I’m perfectly normal… ! Oh really!’

Every time we hold hands, we go crazy every time we hug each other.

Especially when we sleep together.

Of course, Elijah is not very interested in my circumstances.

It is a frustrating situation for a variety of reasons.

It is said that her first tragedy, but I know Elijah….

“Whoa….”

Then someone shouted.

“Miss Elijah is here!”

Everybody lowered their posture and looked at one place.

My head turned that way too.
