I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy

166 – Altair(3)

“Anyone you see around you, gather in groups of five. That’s your team for today’s class. The rules are simple. Stay standing the longest. If all the members of the team are knocked out, you’re eliminated. If only one remains.”

Afterwards, the melee began at the same time as the professor said to raise the sword.

The professor said it was a team, but it would be foolish to expect cooperation from such an improvised team that has only recently shared a common statement. Of course, the professor might be looking forward to cooperating with each other in these adverse conditions, but in Noel’s case, the situation was not good.

There must have been a lot of kids on the other side who had quite aggressive personalities, so Noel was separated from the team within a few minutes of the team being formed.

Should I say I was out of luck?

Normally, even if a professor says something like that, students will notice for a moment. Do we really have to fight like this? Without any preparation? You will think this first. Then, as a team with good action attacks the other team, the children realize the reality and start fighting. Unfortunately, Noel’s team was the victim here of being attacked by the action-packed team.

No matter how excellent leadership Noel has, he can’t help himself in this situation. The team to lead has disappeared, so how should we show leadership and how to cooperate?

Before he could help the other team members, the other team members, except for Noel, were quickly eliminated due to attacks coming from all sides. Only the skilled Noel was able to withstand the waves of swords.

It was only when Noel got out of the position after enduring an offensive that he realized that his teammates had been annihilated. Although he felt bad that his teammates were annihilated faster than he thought, Noel felt a bit of euphoria at the same time.

It was a feeling that came from confirming one’s skills. Others didn’t, but I did. It made her happy that she persevered, rather than if her skills were lacking, she would have been eliminated along with the rest of her team.

Because of her status as a princess, other people are always busy being polite to her. This was a valuable proof for Noel, who had never been able to confirm how good she was.

However, her joy did not last long.

Noel withstood her one melee, and soon after, she prepared for her attack to be directed at him, but contrary to her expectations, no more attacks were directed at her Noel. Seeing that she was left alone, her cadets immediately turned her target to the rest of her team.

As she caught sight of her children’s hesitation in looking at herself, Noel felt that her proof of self was fading in that moment. In the end, the thing she was concerned about had to happen.

Is it really because of her own skills that she didn’t get eliminated? Maybe because they were conscious of me, I didn’t drop out. No matter how it may be in reality, this doubt has already been implanted in Noel’s head.

“Ha.”

Noel couldn’t stand it any longer and she threw herself into the melee. If she stays like this, she may not be eliminated in the professor’s evaluation. Even though her teammates were wiped out, Noel was not eliminated, so her team was not eliminated. But that was a story that was out of Noel’s interest right now.

At Noel’s enraged sword, several cadets who were entangled in the fight flew into the sky. Her students turned her head to her sudden misfortune, and only then did they realize that she was not at their level of consideration.

There were no children to stop Noel’s sword coming out without hesitation. Her melee is no longer a melee, and whether or not to stop her has become an important stream. This alone would have been enough for Noel to prove her skill to herself. But this time, her simple proof was not enough. She was angry, and what she needed this time was someone to vent her anger on.

After slashing and knocking down several cadets, Noel felt his sword choke for the first time.

At first, he thought he had come running to where Reinhardt was. Noel, who had fought him before, knew that he was a tough opponent to defeat with a single sword.

It was his name that came to mind automatically, perhaps because he had thought that among the students he had defeated with one sword, only Reinhardt could stop him.

‘Yes. If you can take a look at it this time, please take a look at it.’

Without even looking at his opponent’s face, Noel burned his fighting spirit, recalling the battle with Reinhardt. At that time, the ending of the couple was Noel’s victory. During the match, Reinhardt refused her, saying he had lost, but Noel didn’t know that it was Reinhardt’s consideration for her as her princess.

Since the sparring was accomplished by earnestly asking Noel to raise his sword against him in the first place, it is impossible to criticize his chivalrous spirit, but now that his proof has been a mess, Noel needs someone to vent his anger on.

As he tried to wield his sword again, thinking that he would make a poor decision at that time, Noel was finally able to confirm that the opponent standing in front of him was someone other than Reinhardt.

The man who shook off his sword with his own strength had jet-black hair. Even though I was taken aback by the fact that it wasn’t Reinhardt, when the eyes that looked like those of a dragon turned toward me for a moment, I felt my heart grow cold and the anger that had been burning up until now temporarily stopped at this.

“I wondered who was causing a riot in the distance, and it was Noel…”

Her man murmured something and she raised her sword at Noel. She was in the situation she wanted so much, but was she at least embarrassed when it happened right in front of her eyes? Noel raised his sword without recognizing that fact.

It was he who took the lead. His hand holding the sword tingled at the heavy blow he felt for the first time, but Noel swung the sword happily at this.

Now, for the first time, Noel got the feeling that he was having a proper sparring match, clashing swords with him. There was no hesitation in his sword that others had seen, only the thought of knocking him down.

Was he from the moment he faced him or was he after he swung the sword? At some point, Noel knew that the anger burning him was waning.

I recognized him from the first time he blocked the blow, but he was the owner of a different level of skill than the other students who had been defeated by Noel’s sword. A person who could possibly be compared to Reinhardt was looking at her as a swordsman rather than a princess, so this was enough to relieve her anger.

Kang-

The broken blade rotated through the air and landed on the ground.

It was Noel’s sword that was cut in half in length, and his sword was pointed at her neck in full force.

Rather than feel threatened by the fact that her sword was pointed at her throat, Noel wanted to say something to him. However, realizing that the shape was strange as it was, he concentrated on looking at the face of her man who held back that feeling.

Strangely enough, his rising heart rate made his head dizzy, but it was possible to engrave that face on his head. Contrary to his rapidly accelerating heart rate, he smiled and said to Noel in the slowing time.

“Practice more. Then I will die.”

With that, he threw himself at the other kids.

The cheers of the crowd filled the venue, but now Noel couldn’t tell if they were calling his name or cheering for the man who fell before his eyes.

Why did the man in front of me fall down? Noel saw the fallen man and had to start thinking from there. As she looked around her surroundings, including that this was the Holy Spirit Festival, that she had gone to a duel, and that that fallen man was her opponent, the facts that she had forgotten just then came to her mind one after another.

I don’t remember how I won, but I think winning anyway is the most important thing.

Realizing that the cheers of her audience were directed at her, Noel gave her a bow to them and turned her feet back toward the outside of her hall. Her crowd would still chant her name loudly, but in her Noel’s ears it had turned into meaningless noise again.

She says her ears close when she thinks too much, but that’s probably the situation with Noel right now. Strictly speaking, it was not because of her own worries, but since she recognized Noel as ‘me’ in her Altair, she was right about Noel’s worries.

“It’s really selfish…”

Doesn’t it suddenly show old memories and cause confusion in one’s identity, and by the time the mind is somewhat organized, doesn’t it suddenly rob the body of the initiative…. And now my mind is confused? Since he hid himself in a corner of his heart as a shield, there is no such thing as a troublemaker to act as he pleases.

God is such a child…

When she realized that she was complaining to herself, Noel said she was dumbfounded by the sudden feeling of being self-criticized, but she soon sighed the complex emotions that she felt. Sent out of

It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand her Altair’s feelings. She may not know the current Noel, but she was worried about the past Noel, so the fact that she doesn’t know what to do must be proof that Altair is also Noel.

In the past few days, Noel has had to struggle quite a bit to come to terms with memories of her that she has never experienced before.

Her memories passed over by Altair were her own, but they were not hers, so it was only natural for her to feel a sense of alienation from them. The maturity that comes from the memories that don’t fit the mind of the sudden change like becoming an adult gave me discomfort as if I was wearing clothes that didn’t fit my body.

It takes time for the body to grow, and it takes time for the mind to grow, so how can you not suffer when the memories of many years are hammered into your head in just a few days?

The memories flowing in like a river and the emotions that accompany them were all intense, and I couldn’t help but be affected by them. It was because of this that his face became hot when he saw Damian.

It was a very sad experience to obtain the feeling of love, from memories of the past that never experienced love that could not come true, but it was also a beautiful experience at the same time. Noel accepted that too.

Reading her memories and accepting her feelings from the past, Noel was able to realize what Altair wanted from him. It was to make herself and her allies who would agree with her. To be precise, it is to unify the meaning of the egos of Noel and Altair to make the separated things into one original one, but the meaning is the same anyway.

However, Noel unfortunately couldn’t do as Altair wanted. It was because she was the present Noel Estelia, not the Noel of the memories Altair had shown her. Noel knew who he was.

“Um…But I guess I’ll go anyway. How come I’m falling for the same look now and then?”

Muttered Noel, laughing bitterly at the two incidents that intertwined in his memory.

In either case, it was the same that the mind was already organized, but it was the same opportunity that started, so I was happy and sad at the same time. Because of her memories of the past, she was able to deal with this feeling. This means that she is just a memory of her first love who has already left.

Noel said to Altair, who was crouching inside him.

“You know the truth. You can’t avoid it forever.”
