(The next day)
Mr. Albert who is the head teacher of swordsmanship education still cannot forget about the incident he just heard yesterday afternoon.
"Don't this make no sense, Celine?"
"If what you're talking about Elizabeth, it certainly is."
Madame Celine sat on the sofa while Albert was still standing with a look of her confused face.
Celine says. "It's better to forget it, the most important thing is that he's back safely." His hand picked up the cup that had been filled by the warm coffee.
"It's not like that, I got a report from my men that there was no attack from goblins or other monsters this afternoon."
Albert let out a long sigh, although he was famous throughout the academy by his fierce nature, but in his heart he actually loved his students very much.
Madam Celine put her coffee mug.
"Do you think what I think?"
"You mean the kid's been hiding his real powers?"
"Of course, at least if our assumptions are correct, we just need to test them, right?"
Albert slightly gasped as he watched the old lady's face in front of him carve out a smile he had seen before. He thought something bad was going to happen.
"Celine, you don't act rashly."
"Listen Albert, this is the only way to see the boy's true strength. Don't you want what happened 5 years ago to happen again?"
Albert was silent while recalling an event in the past. He sat in the chair where he worked.
"Well then, what about the holy sword competition that will be held soon?"
Celine answered. "Just wait for the process, you don't have to worry." His face was smiling again.
"If I had to go back to class, the kids would have been very bored."
"Alright, we'll talk about it later."
The sound of the door closing was heard, now Albert was alone in the teacher's room. He leaned his body on the chair he was sitting in at the moment. Before falling asleep sound******** length of his mouth.
"Well....."
Elisabeth went to school as usual. He was sitting at his desk trying to focus on listening to what Mr. Shaman had taught him.
"After doing enough daily exercise, my body feels lighter than usual."
...[.YOU HAVE COMPLETED QUEST]...
His hand moved shut the screen that appeared in front of his face. Sometimes there were some students or schoolgirls who stared strangely at her, but Elizabeth was not disturbed in the slightest.
"I heard Elizabeth was attacked by a bunch of goblins yesterday afternoon."
"What exactly?"
"I heard he fought back and did not go to save himself, he managed to defeat them and returned to the academy in a uniform already drenched in blood."
"That's awful."
Mr. Shaman who heard the whispers from the disciples at the back was furious.
"If anyone wants to chat please come out."
The disciples were silent after getting the raw bogem from the old man. His hands again scrawled chalk on the board.
The sound of the bell rang, the students immediately ran out to the cafeteria to fill their stomachs.
"Well... You kids." Said Mr. Shaman, his gaze now on Elizabeth who was still sitting in her chair while staring out the window.
"Elizabeth, you're not out?"
Elizabeth greeted back. "No teacher, I'm not hungry."
The old man tidied up his magic books. "You seem to have changed, Elizabeth." Said the man while walking towards the exit.
"What's changed, Mr Shaman?"
"You're much calmer than usual, is there a problem?"
Elizabeth let out a long sigh, her body leaning against the chair she was sitting in. Actually he does not like anyone who meddles in his affairs, but if he refuses for sure his teacher will continue to ask questions to him.
"Nothing, teacher."
Mr. Shaman nodded and walked out of the classroom afterwards, thinking there was no need to ask one of his students stupid things.
Elizabeth stood up from the chair and walked out of the classroom, seeking entertainment for a while. The condition of the school so crowded makes him feel dizzy.
After passing several turns he finally reached the front garden of the school, the condition was not so bad, many flowers bloomed and few people visited there.
"It's exhausting..."
One of the trees he made as a place to unwind, learning all day is really draining energy, compared to hunting.
But, he had also made plans for tonight, where he would start hunting again.
"You're here."
Eli who heard the voice tried to not care, he still closed his eyes without seeing who the owner of the voice was.
"What are you here for?"
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
The young man's voice rhymed sadly, but Eli still tried not to care. Then, the young man took some of Eli's hair neatly arranged on the grass and dyed it.
"If you want to talk about something I don't want to talk about, then forget it."
The young man looked sadly at Eli whom he already considered his fiancee. After seeing Eli's drastic change, somehow the distance between himself and this girl became very far, worthy of his distance between the moon and the earth.
"I want to speed up our marriage."
Eli scrunched his forehead, now his eyes began to open and stared intently at the young man who was looking at him also with a flat face.
"What is this empty egg? Are you crazy!"
Eli threw his face away, he did not want to see the young man's face at all. Every time he saw her, the bad memories of his old life were repeated back in his mind.
Alexander did not understand at all, what had happened to his fiancee these few days. Every time their eyes met, Eli always left without saying a word.
"If I make trouble please forgive me, Eli. Don't you keep ignoring me like this."
Eli sighed furiously at the words the young man had told him. He thought, why does it feel like Alex is the victim here and not him.
"I've been burying my feelings for a long time, Prince. My feelings for you are nothing but fictional that you will never get. We are not united on the basis of love."
Honestly, Eli himself felt nauseous with the words he had just said. But, he could not bear it anymore, in order to avoid his death again he had to throw away his feelings for this man.
"Alright then, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
Eli had no idea that Alex was currently looking at him with a pleading gaze.
"If you want to break our relationship, I want you to say it to my mother."
Eli said 'wow' in his heart, he smiled inside. It was unexpected that it would be this easy!
"All right, I'll do it."
Alex is shocked by the decision Eli made. Is he really going to break their engagement that's been going on for almost five years? Will it end like this?
Although Alex's face looked cold, but in his heart he was so sad.
So did Eli, inexplicably he felt guilty by breaking off his engagement to Alexander. But that was the reality, Eli did not want to repeat the bitter fate he would have received if he was with this young man.
"Then I go first, may you be happy."
Eli just left, leaving Alex with his face that began to turn sour. The last words Eli spoke made him feel even more tormented.
'May you be happy. Is he really serious?"
He struck twice the tree beside him, as a place to vent anger. Alex also condemns himself for not being able to maintain a good relationship with Elizabeth.
"If I had always been by her side, it wouldn't have been like this."
Alex sits under a tree, gently wiping his tears.
****
Eli didn't know where he wanted to go, his mind was so messed up that he couldn't think clearly.
While his heart was in turmoil, came a young man wearing large glasses.
"Excuse me, is it true that you're Elizabeth Islan from magic class?"
Eli just stared at the strange young man. With his style and manner of dressing he was definitely not a student of the magic class.
"Yes, that's right, who are you?"
"I'm James from the hunter class."
Eli was a little surprised, his eyes could not be separated from the young man. The hunter class is a place where young hunters are being trained and formed to become good hunters.
Eli asked with a confused face. "Why are you looking for me?"
"Can we talk in a quieter place?"
"Why don't you tell me this right here?"
"Please."
The young man was really begging Eli. He nodded on the grounds that there were some students who began to look suspiciously at him.
Eli followed the young man from behind.
'What did he really want to tell you?'
