Beat the Boss Mob

42 – Why did you do that

“… Why did you do that?”

It is not that Enlil is ignorant of Seria’s peculiar constitution.

She is definitely aware. Because Leon himself, not anyone else, clearly told me.

If you feel like getting overheated while training, let him rest unconditionally.

It’s a bit of a costume, but it’s for survival, not for weird tendencies or exhibitionists or anything like that.

He told me not once but several times what I must know.

But when I came here, well, Seria was covered in her clothes.

No. It should be seen that it is not the level of wearing, but the level of being tightly wrapped.

Clothes can’t even cover the ‘face’ or ‘hands and feet’.

However, Enlil wore clothes that would take your breath away just by looking at them, even from a normal person’s point of view.

It wasn’t just one, she piled several on top of each other.

“I would have made it clear. If you don’t know anything else, don’t overheat or cover Seria’s body too much. Did she forget that she has a peculiar constitution?”

“… No.”

“Then why?”

Why the hell did you try to burn my 2nd Army?

This is an attempt to assassinate a saintess by anyone’s eyes. You can see the intent to kill the hero.

There is a world of difference between not knowing and knowing.

“….”

Enlil’s lips twitch as if contemplating how to answer.

Looking at her, Leon let out a sigh and patted her on the shoulder.

“Instructor?”

“It’s not because I don’t trust you. I’m just asking why. So don’t worry about it and be honest, just tell me what the reason was for that action. Enlil.”

“… Actually.”

Enlil’s answer followed.

“I heard from the saintess. How Instructor Leone trained me.”

“I trained pretty hard, just like you.”

“Yes. That’s right. It was as harsh as me. It’s hard, and I want to quit right away.”

Enlil, who nodded her head, continued her saying, ‘But.’

“If you think about it, it was just that far.”

“Hmm?”

“Instructor pushed me to the limit, but never pushed any further than that.”

“What are you talking about? You pushed it to the limit, but no more than that.”

“Death.”

Death. At that word, Leon’s face contorted.

For him, death was not simply the end of life.

That means that her own hopes will be crushed once again.

How enraged she was whenever a hero entered the tower and died.

“Neither I nor the saintess ever pushed me to the brink of death.”

“You sound obvious. What if something happens during training? Are you saying that you don’t know that my position is very embarrassing?”

“I don’t think that’s all there is to it. There’s something else. To the instructor.”

Is this guy pretending not to know everything?

Rion, who was on high alert, scanned the surroundings very quickly.

For now, the only people around are Enlil and Seria.

Enlil is the only one capable of fighting. Seria is still panting.

“….”

Fighting with them is rough. Especially outside the tower.

I am not concerned about my own life. You can’t die anyway unless you’re inside the tower.

The problem is that the combat power of these two increases a little more when they fight outside.

If that’s the case, it’s hard to take down these two at your leisure without fatal injuries.

“Isn’t that all there is to it? Be a little more specific. What are you talking about?”

At Leon’s question, Enlil thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Instructor, you are not someone who simply cares about the eyes of others or your own position. At least it seems to me.”

“Doesn’t it just seem like a gimmick, with no explanation whatsoever?”

“Yes. You can also simply skip over it. But in my opinion, yes. That feeling that saved me from the tower until now.”

Meeting Rion on the top floor and being brought back to life was entirely Rion’s choice and decision.

However, to reach the top floor, only the skill and luck of the hero are needed.

In that sense, Enlil’s senses, which have been uploaded more than 10 times, cannot be called just ‘persimmons’.

“… What are your senses saying right now?”

“Instructor said that if he gets even a little closer to death, he will stop unconditionally.”

Leon couldn’t give any answer to a word that stabbed him to the point.

As she said, she stopped as soon as the hero’s death was near.

Whether it’s in the tower or outside, in real life or training.

It’s a matter of course, and it can’t be helped. Because when you die, that’s it.

I feel sad when Seria dies, and when Enlil dies, I’m so sorry that I’m about to vomit blood.

But how could she push herself to the point where she was close to death?

“Only the instructor knows why. Is it really that you’re in an awkward position, or is it because of the good heart that you never want to see the people around you do that. But what is certain is that he clearly has that mind in training.”

“….”

“Ah. I’m not saying that the instructor’s method is wrong. Please know that.”

Okay, so she was Leon urging Enlil to say the next thing.

“Hmmm. Actually. There’s something I didn’t tell the instructor, but she almost died in the tower this time.”

“… What is that again?”

At least, I almost heard screams of ‘Oh sh*t!’ In front of that answer.

Why did Enlil die? She’s not even in the beginning, she’s even learned how to practice well, but why?

“When transforming the mana practice method, her mana heart almost collapsed if she made a mistake.”

“Manahat? Why is that?”

“I caught mana in reverse flow.”

A completely unexpected answer came out of Enlil’s mouth.

Thanks to that, a shocked Leon grabbed her by the shoulder.

“Are you crazy?!”

Reverse mana flow? This is just the level of pulling out all the blood vessels in my body.

It is good to be alive and not die. It is the memory that saved her life.

“Why the hell is that!”

Leon’s voice, which had barely calmed down, rose again.

Then Enlil gave her a wry smile and replied.

“I couldn’t think of a way. So, when I caught the strand with reverse flow, I could barely see the way, and I barely walked her tightrope and reached the other side without falling.”

Somehow, I wanted to change the mana practice method so easily.

I thought she was simply because Enlil was a genius, because he was a warrior, or because she was either he or she was lucky.

She risked her life for an adventure. From Leon’s point of view, it was a fantastic thing.

“It’s not the reverse flow that’s important to me here, Instructor. I am….”

“So, your words, Enlil, are not just reaching the limit, but reaching the threshold of death. You have to do at least a hell of a pull-up to find a way to change something, you mean?”

“Actually, I thought I might see only hints.”

After hearing that far, Leon let out a long sigh.

Grabbing his face, he sighed several times.

“….”

Enlil sitting next to him closed his mouth and waited for him.

With his own story over, it was time to listen to Leon’s answer.

“Huh-uh-“

Leone let out his sigh once more and slowly raised his head.

Then I blankly looked up at the sky and lost myself in thoughts.

‘… I’m dumbfounded and angry, but… If you think about it carefully, this is what Enlil said.’

Literally, he himself never let Enlil or Ceria come anywhere near death.

While teaching mana practice, at first glance, it seems like he handles it very roughly.

He never tried to create a critical moment, a situation where he could get seriously hurt.

Because there is nothing more terrible than getting an incurable injury or dying.

Until now, he had been raising the warriors himself and worrying about them at the same time.

He seemed to push himself to the limit and didn’t let him do it when he really needed to.

“… Enlil.”

“Yes, Instructor.”

“Do you have any intention of becoming an instructor?”

Unbeknownst to me, a voice that was not in my heart came out.

Rion, who immediately realized my mistake, said, “No. It’s nonsense, so don’t listen to it.’

“No. As Instructor Leone’s trainee, and as a hero. I’m going to take that teaching and put my sword in the tower’s owner.”

At the answer without any hesitation, Leone burst into laughter.

“Awesome.”

After saying that, Leon unconsciously stroked Enlil’s head.

Very slowly, gently, as if complimenting yourself on how great you are.

“Even I didn’t know about myself and the problem. You are the true warrior, Enlil.”

Rion, who had been asking why before, had now disappeared.

And the only thing left is the instructor who trusts the hero next to him even more.

Thanks to that, Enlil also lost all the sadness that had arisen a little while ago.

“Well then. Instructor.”

It must have been praised, Enlil wanted to do what he was doing again.

“You can do the training you stopped, right?”

At Enlil’s question, Leon glanced aside.

Seria just came to her senses and asks, ‘How did it go?’ Comes into her eyes.

“Um.”

I’m sorry, Seria. But what can I do? Our Enlil warrior said to do it.

“I have to. Even for Seria.”

“Yes!”

“Um, hey? Instructor? Sister? What were you talking about… Eh, Sister Enlil? I just woke up, am I starting right away?! Now, hold on! Give me a little break time! Hiya!”
