The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

Zeqi's words caused many teachers to show consternation, and Erxi was also slightly shocked, because it was indeed the first time he had heard of it.

The curriculum of the senior school is different from that of the middle and lower grades. It is basically based on actual combat training. The venue and conditions in the school are limited, so they often go to the field for training collectively under the leadership of their teachers.The North Ridge Snow Mountain is not within the territory of Hosta Castle, but it is not far from here. If you fly with wind magic, you can reach it in two hours.

"After this incident happened, we immediately sent people to the North Ridge Snow Mountain to search. The search team we sent was very elite, but they..."

Zeqi paused slightly, his voice getting heavier.

"Also missing."

Except for a few insiders, the rest of the teachers looked at each other in blank dismay.The terrain of the North Ridge Snow Mountain is not precipitous, and the distribution of monsters is not dangerous. Because it is relatively safe, this place can be regarded as a practical training place that senior students often go to, and there has never been any accident before.

Erxi realized in an instant - no wonder Naylor, who has been by Zeqi's side every step of the way, will be absent today for no reason, probably...the other party is the leader of the search team.

"I don't know if this incident is related to the early warning of the crystal ball, but this incident is indeed very strange." Zeqi frowned, "I will probably leave the academy for a trip recently, and the time will be controlled within half a day , when I'm not around, you don't have to worry too much, because there are all the great magisters who are joining forces to guard against possible accidents, and you still need your assistance."

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and dozens of exquisite and small communication crystal balls flew out from the sleeve of the man's magic robe. Erxi subconsciously raised his hand and caught one.And the others also got one each.

"Your strength is outstanding in the entire academy," Zeqi said, "Whether I am or not, once something happens, I hope that you will be the backbone of the existence, giving confidence to other teachers and students, Let’s lead everyone through this difficult time together.”

Zeqi also held a communication crystal ball in his hand. He touched it lightly with his hand. The surface of the crystal ball seemed to be rippling with water waves, and gradually emitted an ice-blue luster, as if being sensed. At the same time, all The crystal balls in everyone's hands lit up.

"These communication crystal balls are specially processed and can quickly contact everyone present. Once anyone finds something abnormal or an emergency occurs, they must use this communication crystal ball to send out an alarm."

Ersie looked at the crystal ball in his hand. Inside the water-blue sphere, there were some small silver feathers floating slowly among them. If you looked closely, you would find that those silver feathers were a personal name—— The names of all those present who received the crystal ball.

Ersie thought about it.

Being able to get this thing actually means...he has been included in the core circle of the academy's top management.

He glanced at Haslan calmly: If it weren't for what this person said to Zeqi just now, he would definitely not be able to participate.From this point of view, either Haslan was trying to show favor to him, or...there is a real shortage of highly capable talents in the academy.

But having said that, in previous reincarnations, I have never seen Haslan and Zeqi get so close, and even a single sentence can influence Zeqi's choice. Could it be that these two people communicate frequently recently?Is there anything in the Academy that requires the intimate involvement of the dark arts?

But Ersie only had this idea for a moment, and quickly forgot it.

After that rally, although college life remained as usual, some quiet changes had slowly begun to take place.

The timetables of all the teachers have been rearranged, and even the teaching locations have been changed, because most of the teaching classrooms have changed, which makes the students in a hurry, and things happen from time to time to enter the wrong classroom and remember the wrong place.But if someone pays close attention, he will find that in each teaching building, there are always a few extremely powerful tutors, and even the dormitory buildings have added permanent teachers.

The black society has started to strictly check the access control again. The days in winter have always been short, and now they are directly required to not leave the dormitory at night. However, the winter nights are already cold, and everyone is eager to not go out at all, but it will not affect the students. big.

The only trading building in the academy that had more contact with the outside world directly announced its temporary closure.The college's explanation for this was the need for internal renovations, which were not without precedent, so no waves were caused.

All changes are carried out silently.Those who don't know the inside story haven't noticed it yet, and those who know the inside story have already felt the heavy and depressing atmosphere in the academy.

It's like hanging a knife above your head. Everyone knows that this knife will definitely fall, and it will definitely cut you, and it will be very painful, but you just don't know when it will come. The process...was a horrific ordeal.

——Of course, Ersey is definitely not among those suffering.

He felt uneasy before because he didn't know what happened; now that he has figured it out, he is completely relaxed.

Just kidding, he was the one who turned the academy upside down on his own. Even if he quit now, no one dares to call Ersey the number one when it comes to his ability to make things happen.

What's more, his body after recovery has almost recovered. Even if Altos, the holy son of the human race, performs the god drop technique again, Erxi is sure to carry it down, so he can't think of anything other than the "protagonist", who has been explored by him countless times. In the next world, there are still some strong people who can suppress him.

——This time, whoever dares to set up the academy this time, spoils this king's business, and this king will ruthlessly kill him!

Ersie thought so arrogantly.

And taking a step back, the two "protagonists" Xin and Hei Luomi are here now, especially Xin, whose "protagonist aura" is still strong at present, Erxi is very relieved about this, so he should eat what he deserves Drinking, and often taking Cecil and the others to the restaurant for an extra meal, they were not affected at all.

***

A week passed so quickly, and the weekend arrived in a flash.

Because of the blizzard that fell for several days, there was a snowstorm in the city of Hostalburg. It is said that the city hall was in a mess. The college also used the excuse that the city was in disorder and prohibited students from going out during the holidays.

Therefore, during the rare holiday, everyone could only stay in the college honestly. At first, some people went out to play snowball fights, but then the weather changed, and they returned to the dormitory one after another.

When Cecil returned to the house, Heluomi and Xin were there. They were not interested in snowball fights at all, and they stayed in the house reading a book.

"Are you two going to work so hard?"

Cecil rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and put his drenched coat to dry above the burning magic flame in the room, then glanced at the door of the bedroom in the middle.

"Eh? Are you still up yet?"

Xin immediately made a "shh" gesture to him, and whispered: "There has been no movement, it should be still awake."

"Did he improve the scroll last night too late?" Heluomi frowned and asked in a low voice.

"No..." Cecil also felt baffled. Although in the past when Erxi stayed up all night to develop the improved scroll, he would catch up on sleep the next day, but now it's almost noon, so he slept for too long, right?

He quietly opened the door, stood at the door and looked around for a while, then tiptoed in.

After a while, Heluomi and Xin heard Cecil's surprised voice from the room.

"Eh? Eh? Eh! What's wrong with you??"

The two people sitting in the living room looked at each other at the same time, and almost at the same time they got up abruptly, Cecil shouted a little nervously from the room.

"Xin! Hei Luomi! Come in and have a look, both of you! Something is wrong with him!"

Er is sick.

——This is the conclusion that Cecil and the others came to.

When Cecil entered the room just now, he saw the young man wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, which was completely different from his usual sleeping appearance.Cecil tore off his quilt in surprise, and saw that the other person's eyes were closed tightly, his face was as white as paper, and his body was stiff. When he touched his forehead, it was terribly cold. If he couldn't breathe, he would be like a dead person. No difference.

Cecil and the others used various methods to try to wake Erxi up, but the other party seemed to be in a deep coma, keeping his eyes tightly closed and completely unresponsive.

"How did it suddenly become like this?" Heluomi looked at Cecil with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"I don't know, it was fine yesterday!" As a roommate living in the same room, Cehir felt that he had a great responsibility, he frowned and tried to recall, "He didn't even fiddle with those scrolls yesterday, he went to bed very early Ah... Ah! I remembered that he didn't sleep well for a while last night, I heard him tossing and turning, but soon there was no movement again, I thought he fell asleep again."

"It doesn't seem like you have a cold or a fever." Xin carefully checked the young man's face, and then took the other's body temperature. "It seems that the body is colder than before."

The incident happened suddenly, and the three people in the room were a little dazed for a moment. Before they could discuss the next step, there was a movement on the bed.

"...you... all gathered here... what are you doing..."

***

Ersie struggled to open his eyes.

There was a lot of noise in the room just now, he had been woken up a long time ago, but he felt powerless, extremely weak, and his mind seemed to be filled with mud, and he was in a daze, thanks to the system yelling in his ears, Only then did he barely recover a sliver of sobriety, and then opened his eyes with difficulty.

There were three nervous and concerned faces in sight. Erxi squinted his eyes for a while to distinguish them, and then his trance eyes focused on them, recognizing that these three people were the little ghosts who lived in the same dormitory with him.

"Eh, how do you feel now?" Cecil asked nervously, "Do you want some hot water?"

"...I'm fine." Ersie said weakly, his lips were completely pale, and his eyes were empty, "Stop arguing...I want to sleep for a while."

Although his mind was so chaotic that he couldn't think at all, Erxi actually knew what was wrong with him.

—his damned period of weakness has come again.

Weakness is a phenomenon unique to demons, but it is not universal.Out of a thousand demons, only one or two will have a period of weakness, which generally lasts for three days.The demons who are in the weakening stage will have a sharp decline in various body functions, and they don't want to do anything other than sleep, which is similar to a monster that is about to hibernate.

What's more troublesome is that there is almost no fixed period for the onset of debilitating period, ranging from once every three to 40 years, and as many as once every 100 years. In the previous reincarnations, Ersey also happened to encounter a debilitating period a few times. He usually immediately Find a place to hide, and come out to jump after getting through.Because for the Demon Race, the period of weakness is the same as its most fatal weakness. It cannot be told to anyone, and it must not be noticed by anyone.

Erxi had exposed his weakness in front of Altos when he was training in the Devil's Abyss before. At that time, because he trusted the other party, he didn't think it was a big deal until he was severely pitted by Altos during the battle of black blood. Well, he learned the lesson with blood - he must never reveal his weakness in front of others, no matter who he is now, no matter who the other party is, he must not!

"I'll go to the teacher of the medical department to take a look."

Seeing Erxi looking drowsy and about to fall asleep again, Xin was a little worried, and turned to Cecil and the others.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xin finished speaking, the young man who was about to close his eyes suddenly opened them again, and even sat up suddenly from the bed, which shocked the other three people.

"No!" His voice was hoarse, and his eyes, which were originally lifeless, were staring at Xin fiercely at this moment, even showing a strange red light, "Don't go to the medical department...don't let others know!"

"Why are you like a crying child who refuses to take medicine?" Cehir muttered, "You must be sick now, and you are still very sick. You must..."

Suddenly a terrible gust of wind swept through the house, and the half-open door was slammed shut with a bang, making the entire wall tremble; at the same time, the door lock seemed to be slammed by an invisible giant hand. After squeezing it hard, it deformed violently under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Which of you dare to go to the medical department?!" With red eyes, like a demon from hell, he gnashed his teeth and glared at everyone present, and roared, "I said no! Whoever dares to go, I will get it now Kill him!!"

All three teenagers were shocked.

Although Erxi seems to have a bad temper, after in-depth contact, they all know that the other party is purely a knife-mouthed bean curd, with a rather fierce mouth, and he rarely shows the truth, but this time, everyone present felt the truth. Really murderous.

——If they really dare to notify the medical department, this person...will definitely kill them without hesitation.

Deathly silence.

After a while, someone finally broke the oppressive silence.

"Okay." Hei Luomi said. To show his sincerity, he even took a few steps back and moved a little further away from the door. "We won't look for it."

Erxi's vicious eyes immediately stared at Heluomi, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the other person's words at all, but instinctively locked on everyone who made sounds and movements.

"We won't go." Xin Ye said, not surprised to see the other party's fierce eyes cast on him again, "Don't worry, I won't go."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely not go, is this okay?" Cecil was about to cry, this kind of Erxi was so strange and scary, his heart almost stopped beating in shock just now, "You , What do you want us to do..."

The person sitting on the bed was panting with difficulty, his red eyes were obviously out of focus, but they were undoubtedly scanning everyone in the room, like a wild beast on the verge of madness, staring at everyone defensively and viciously. An enemy who invaded his own territory.

Cecil and the others didn't dare to speak anymore, let alone act rashly. They stood motionless, and then...they saw the man suddenly leaned forward and fell straight off the bed.

"Eh!!!"

The three rushed over immediately, and the room was in chaos again.

"My God! He's passed out!"

"Quickly, help him to the bed!"

"Be careful, don't touch your head!"

"I'll go find a few more quilts to put him on... Damn! The door is broken like this, how can we get out!!"

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

I was in my early teens when I had my first bout of asthenia.

At that time my mother was still there. At first she thought I was just sick, but after careful examination, she suddenly changed her face.

I can't remember the details now, but I only know that after waking up from a three-day coma, all the servants and guards who had witnessed the onset of my debilitating period were gone.

"Dead people are more reliable." My mother said to me, "Ersi, you must remember that no matter what the situation is, no matter who the other party is, you must, must not tell me that you have a period of weakness. The other party, do you remember?"

I was a little sad at the time, even angry, because I was very playful when I was a child. Some of the servants and guards who were executed were about the same age as me. I had a lot of fun with them, while my playmates were like this Inexplicably killed by my mother, this reality is really hard for me to accept.

But we are mother and son after all, after I lost my temper for a while, I finally accepted it.And as I grew older and experienced more, I also began to understand my mother's painstaking efforts, so I followed her instructions and have been very careful to hide my weak period.

Later, when I was practicing in the Devil's Abyss, the period of weakness came again.

At that time, the situation was very dangerous, because the devil's abyss was full of dangers everywhere, and when I had an attack, I had no strength in my body, and it was difficult to walk.Later, with the help of Altos who is familiar with the environment here, I managed to find a safe cave and hid in it for three days.

During this period, Altos has been guarding me, helping me to keep an eye on the outside situation, and let me get through this difficulty safely.

"I heard that some people in the demons have a period of weakness." Altos asked me, "Is this the case with you?"

I looked at him, and the dead soul would also emit a faint white light in the dark. His expression was innocent, like a curious and ignorant child.

——The dead are more reliable.

I suddenly remembered what my mother said.

Altos is just a wisp of dead soul, which is equivalent to a dead person; and he is my first friend, if I tell him... it should be fine.

So I admitted it, because I talked a lot, and I also mentioned the first episode of debilitation when I was a child.

"Your mother's approach is right." Altus nodded in agreement after listening, "As far as I know, there are some methods that can induce the demons' weakening period to come earlier, although it will only work for the first time, but It's enough to kill you."

This is the first time I've heard of such a thing, so I couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Otos, you really know a lot." I looked at him a few times, and then joked, "You wouldn't use that method to deal with me, would you?"

"Of course not." The boy paused, then smiled at me.

"I will not be your enemy."

—that hateful and despicable liar.

Now I don't want to think about what happened during the Black Blood Battle, and after that, I naturally won't trust anyone.

So later, when Hei Luomi and I went to explore the secret realm, and found that I had a sign of debilitating symptoms on the way, my first reaction was that.

--Oops.

Although my relationship with Hei Luomi was not bad at that time, otherwise I would not have agreed to go to the secret realm with him to hunt for treasures as soon as I graduated, but it is still far from enough to say that I have a lot of trust in him.The onset of asthenia came so fast and furiously that I didn't have time to explain any more, and turned and fled into the jungle.

"Ersie?!"

I heard him calling my name in surprise behind me, but I would never respond—if he didn't know that I was a demon, I might still try to get away with it, but he already knew my demon. I don't have a clan identity, and I know the situation of the demon clan very well. Once I see my appearance in a fit, I can definitely immediately associate it with the period of weakness.

I don't know how long I ran or how far I ran, let alone how I fell into a coma, but when I woke up, I found myself lying in a warm and dry cave, covered with a thick blanket Next to him, Heluomi was making a bonfire and roasting wild game.

"you……!"

At that moment, my heart almost jumped out, and I immediately struggled to jump up and try to escape, but was quickly pressed back by him.

"Hey, I'm so weak and want to run, I'm convinced." Hei Luomi cast a binding spell, and when she saw that I was lying down again, she nodded in satisfaction, and then turned her back to me. Then I sat down and continued to flip through the game in my hand.

"I really don't understand you. Isn't it just a cold with a low fever? You won't die if you get infected. It scares you."

I couldn't see his face, I could only look at his back in surprise.

"You...you think I have a cold?"

"Yeah." Hei Luomi seemed to chuckle, "I used to be like this too. When I got sick, I fell asleep for several days, and my body temperature was terribly low. This situation is nothing more than normal."

— cheating.

I stared at his back, but maybe I was too tired in the weak stage, or it was too comfortable to lie in the warm cave, so in the end I just opened my mouth and said nothing.

Later, Hei Luomi roasted the game and fed me some. At that time, it was already dark outside. He packed up the leftovers, arranged the barrier, and then lifted my blanket, making a gesture to lie in. .

"What are you doing?!"

"Your body temperature is so low, can you bear it?" Compared to my dumbfounded, Heluomi's reaction was calm and normal, "I'll keep you warm."

Then he really lay down and hugged me, who was cold all over, tightly in his arms.

Me: "%￥#w%!!!"

If I hadn't been held in place by the binding magic, I would have jumped up long ago.Probably feeling the stiffness of my body, Hei Luomi patted my back reassuringly, and then gently patted my head.

"Don't think too much, go to sleep." He said softly.

—Don't think too much about it.

At that moment, I swear he must know.

He clearly knew that I was in a period of weakness, but he didn't point it out at all, and even pretended to be stupid. What's the purpose?

The cave gradually became quiet.

The night wind blew through the woods, making a rattling sound, the burning bonfire was beating quietly, and the people around me heard even and peaceful breathing, apparently falling asleep.Although I was also very tired and could fall asleep at any time, I still couldn't help turning my eyes to Hei Luomi, staring quietly at the peaceful sleeping face of that person.

—Don't think too much, go to sleep.

His purpose... Is it just to let me stop thinking about it and sleep peacefully?

When this thought flashed through my mind, it was like a thin needle suddenly piercing the inflated balloon in my heart. My chest, which was so swelled with defense and vigilance that it almost exploded, suddenly seemed to be completely discouraged, and I couldn't lift it anymore. There's a lot of energy.

Altus once made me swear by gnashing my teeth that I would never trust anyone, but Heluomi made me suddenly discover that my heart is actually not as cold and decisive as I imagined.

--so tired.

——I have been unable to trust others, and have been suspicious and wary of others. In fact, it is really really... very tiring.

Am I getting weak?

Am I naive again?

Or, am I crazy——I suddenly want to be friends with this person beside me, this enemy who has killed me a hundred times and made me hate to the bone, at this moment.

——Be a real friend who will not be defensive and suspicious of each other, but a friend who can trust and rely on each other.

Hei Luomi, this time...can I trust you?
