Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 3 Episode 3 (section)

===Part 8===


For these past few days, several temporary rest rooms had been prepared to tend to the injured in the Campus Selection Battle.

As Lux headed to that medical office at a quick pace after having parted from Philphie and Noct, who had individual battles immediately after and Airi who had work to do──

“Ah……!?”

“…………”

Celis was just walking alone from the opposite side of the corridor facing the courtyard.

She was walking with steps so steady that it’d be unthinkable that they were someone who had just finished a fierce battle. She turned a somewhat confused gaze at Lux.

“It was a little unexpected.”

Putting a hand on her big chest, Celis muttered as if talking to herself.

“Those girls, who detain you, seem to fight for your sake from their true feelings.”

Celis probably felt firsthand the will and resolution of Lisha and Krulcifer through the fight earlier.

Her aloof presence of leader loosened only slightly.

But in the next moment, a strong wave of hostility swept over Lux and made his spine shiver.

“But, my will cannot be shaken, either. You are still an unneeded person in this academy. I will prove it in the next fight with you.”

“…………”

So, this was a noble born.

So, this was the power of the Ralgris House, one of the Four Great Nobles.

The figure of the girl who had undergone all kinds of training since she was a child in order to fight and be established to stand above others.

(That’s right. As expected, this girl’s resolution is different……)

The girl, who since childhood had fought while abandoning any other way of life.

For Lux, who was not able to carry out his duty as a Prince before, Celis was too formidable an opponent, but,

“You’re a very strong person.”

So as not to lose to her unshakeable will, Lux further declared.

“But ── this time, I will absolutely not lose, too.”

Just like when he decided to destroy the Old Empire before, Lux once again decided.

He would bear the New Kingdom’s future and become their strength.

And he would accomplish it in this academy where he was nearer than anywhere else.

“…………”

Meeting his straightforward gaze, Celis held her breath for a moment.

But, she immediately returned to her usual aloof presence and walked away as she went past him.

“……Phew.”

''I’ve said it.''

In order to chase the Black Marketer ── the existence appearing to be Fugil that maneuvered secretly in various places, there was also the choice of leaving the academy and concealing his figure.

But,

“I know that it’s luxury, but...”

He wanted to help the girls of the academy while he was still in the academy.

Lux took a deep breath and began to walk.

Then, he caught sight of the academy's exclusive woman doctor, who just came out of the medical office’s door.

“Ara, what are you doing in this place? Did you perhaps also come to pay a visit to the injured girls of earlier? I’m on my way to go see the situation in another room though.”

“Ah, yes. U-Um ── are both of them all right?”

Lux asked while being slightly tense.

Then, as the woman doctor leaked a wry smile,

“You are the two girls’ friend if I remember correctly. They would be troubled if you were to see them in their current appearances, so it’s better not to go in yet, you know?”

“Eh……!? Don’t tell me that they──”

After the end of the mock battle with Celis, there should not have been any conspicuous external wounds, but were they perhaps seriously injured?

Lux, who was driven by uneasiness, hastily ran to the medical office and put his hand on the doorknob.

“Lisha-sama! Krulcifer-san!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>bang*! As he vigorously opened the door, an unexpected scene spread out over there.

Bandages were wound on the hands and feet of the girls sitting on a bed.

But, it was not the point of being painful to look at, it was just around one or two places.

However, other than that there was an amazing sight.

Probably because they were going to change their dress gears, which already fitted their bodies and made their body lines stand out, after their treatment, they were in a state where they took off all their clothes.

Their uniforms and underwear for changing clothes were just scattered on the bed where both the girls were sitting.

The girls, who saw Lux’s figure, blushed and promptly covered their bodies.

“──!?”

Lux’s head instantly flushed at the sight of the two girls, who were known as prominent beauties even in the academy.

Lux should have reflexively averted his eyes, but maybe that was a man’s sad nature, after fully pausing a few seconds,

“I-I’m sorry!?”

He told them so and vigorously closed the door.

''Haa, Haa……'' as he washed off the sweat from his forehead, the exclusive woman doctor smiled wryly as she saw it.

“Even though I said not to get in since they were changing.”

“Please, say that earlier!?”

Lux shouted with all his power, his face still bright red, and waited for a while for Lisha and Krulcifer in the medical office to call out to him.
