The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 30 - FOR OUR DREAM

While I was enjoying the advantage Silvia was giving me, a guy stepped in front of me to block my retreat.

ʼYou picked a bad time to get in my way.ʼ 

Unfortunately for him, I was stronger than ever. The most powerful engine of the art I practice is lust... I mean, the power of friendship... yes!, the power of friendship which is even much more effective than mana.

Causing my speed to suddenly increase along with my strength. I felt more powerful than ever.

Maybe the guy in front of me was as strong as the other leaders I faced before since he caught up to us faster, but that meant nothing to me right now.

Banng!!

”what?...eh?...what hap...pened?!!”

I threw a punch that he couldnʼt even react to, activating the protection and leaving it uincredulo.

”Take that, you bastard!!. Taste the power of friendship!!,huehuehuehue”

I shouted as I conveyed the meaning of friendship. not because I was excited at the time.

If it was power of friendship and not something as primal as lust that made me stronger, that feeling in my back had to be Silviaʼs feelings supporting me... yes, thatʼs it.

I enjoyed the feeling on my back, as an extra benefit and without any lust involved.

I didnʼt know what principle this art is based on to feed on the power of friendship (lust), but it makes me more powerful than when I use mana and I donʼt get tired easily as long as I have friendship, itʼs like a supply of adrenaline with no side effects.

Itʼs like a code of tricks that gives me a kind of infinite energy as long as I have lu...I say friendship , although it seems like a cheating quality of this art, it has an obvious disadvantage.

I have to keep feeling the friendship even when I fight, and being honest itʼs not as easy as it is now, when Iʼm holding Silvia.

Imagination doesnʼt stimulate enough and rarely would it honestly serve me in a life and death combat unless I find a solution.

And well, it only replaces mana, when I use the art of lust and itʼs not useful to cast echisos or anything like that, at least not for now.

..

I continued running and with my new advantage I caught up with the rest quickly.

Williamʼs glow was helpful in keeping spells from being aimed at us and allowed us to escape more easily, though it was still annoying even for us.

After running for a few minutes, we left the swampy area and arrived at a wooded area, I realized that we were able to escape their grasp, but to be on the safe side, I found a spot that was a thicket and told the group to hide.

”Haah~...ahhhaaa~,”

I concentrated on escaping and finding a good place to hide honestly I could defeat them all the pursuers, but this is not an examination of strength so I just ran.

”Haaah~, how is everyone?” when I asked, I saw that everyone was fine and they answered in the affirmative while looking at me, even the previously knocked out Mike was fine.... I think.

wait! thereʼs one?, missing when I thought the numbers didnʼt add up.

ʼdid we lose someone?ʼ

”Chris, howʼs Silvia?” I remembered I had Silvia on my shoulder.

ʼoh! No!ʼ 

”Uh, excuse me... could you... um, lower me down?”

”Oh, Iʼm sorry.”

I was so focused on running that for a moment I forgot I had Silvia on my shoulder, and she is now conscious.

ʼSince whenʼ I couldnʼt help but think.

On the other hand, her butt was pointing towards the others and those bastards who didnʼt say a word until now were looking in her direction as if they were seriously judging something.

Only William asked me if I was okay after I checked Mike, and cast light healing spells on him.

ʼTraitors, speak up, why did you just stand there watching? And didnʼt you remind me that I was holding Silvia what if I inadvertently gained points, if a yandere chases me Iʼll hire some to follow you bastardsʼ. 

I looked at the only other woman to see why she didnʼt warn me and I noticed that teresa was looking at her boyfriend with piercing eyes as if she was waiting for the right moment to kill him..

ʼserves you right you fuckerʼ. 

I prayed for the poor soul of that fallen soldier and which death was not far away which relieved my anger towards him.

on the other hand I turned my attention to the rest who had no consequences for their actions and think how I would make them pay.

but well I donʼt blame them I too would stare at a big voluptuous ass heading in my direction, even with the robes you could see its outline clearly and it left almost nothing to the imagination it was meaty and ....

ʼWait, the power is coming back to me.ʼ

When I noticed that, for some reason, the power of friendship (lust) was coming back to buff me, I stopped my thinking and went back to reflecting on how great friendship was.

And as Silvia, who is a potential yandere, is perfect for that dense guy with possible future mental problems. Without a doubt, they are a perfect match.

When I put Silvia down, who had a red face that I decided to ignore, I saw how William gave her first aid, even though she wasnʼt that physically hurt.

ʼThat, champ, scores points. Iʼll be rooting for you,ʼ look with pride at Williamʼs actions.

Well, that aside, I had to figure out our next moves.

”Well, now we have nine flags. Thereʼs only one left and we can hide until the time is up.”

Only one flag was missing. I had five and had given one to William. Silvia had the rest of the first group, so only one left to get.

I looked at the rest and they were thinking about what to do when Silvia approached me.

For a moment I was scared if she had inadvertently fallen in love with my heroics or my manly shoulders, but to my relief it was only something else, she said in a low, trembling voice:

”~I lost my flags.~”

She looked very sad and regretful, threatening to start crying at any moment as he told me the facts.

..

Apparently at some point they fell off. She does not know when, since she lost consciousness.

ʼIt was because I carried her like a sack of potatoes?.ʼ At the time I kind of regretted doing it that way. Or maybe he just dropped them when he blocked the attack.

Now we only had six flags and only an hour left. I had given them to Silvia and planned to give them all to her because she always stayed in the rear and I was sure I could keep her from being attacked, but it seems I was too arrogant.

Now the rest of the group was looking gloomily at our situation, besides thinking that possibly one of them would be eliminated, but it was no time to think like that, we needed encouragement.

ʼAs a leader, I cannot let my Dynamite team fall into depreciationʼ.

But I had the perfect tool for this moment, I gave a subtle kick to William, who then looked at me without understanding why I kicked him.

ʼDonʼt look at me like that, you idiot. Say your thing, inspire us like the good generic protagonist you are.ʼ

At that moment, Silvia, who was sorry for what happened and understanding my intentions, approached William and whispered to him with a red face as if she was ashamed to approach.

ʼOh, now that I remember, itʼs true that they knew each other before, from entering, she probably already has feelings for william. I neednʼt fear that my charms might inadvertently strike herʼ.

Supporting silvi-willʼs relationship and also thankful of her quick actions despite everything that happened, ʼThatʼs why youʼre reliable, Silvia.ʼ 

Perhaps reading my compliments she looked at me and blushed even more.ʼOh no, my charm is too much. I must be careful.ʼ 

Itʼs the sin of being so charming (person with altered reality), but sheʼs still very cute.

ʼno!, remember, sheʼs just a friend, sheʼs just a friend,ʼ I repeated myself in case she might misunderstand me with her ability.

Then William, who received my message through Silvia, he looked at me, to which I nodded and he began to speak in a loud and inspiring voice that came naturally to him:

”Come on, everyone! we canʼt lose heart now! This is the moment that will define whether we take that next step toward the path of true power.

We still have an hour left, and thatʼs more than enough to prove we belong in that academy.

Weʼve trained for this, weʼve sacrificed for this, and now itʼs time to show why we deserve it.

Each one of us has fought through countless challenges to stand here.

Whether itʼs the dream of becoming the strongest knight, the most powerful mage, or carving out our own unique path, none of that means anything if we give up now.

Think about what brought you here. Your family, your ambition, your vision of the future – this is our chance to rise, to make our mark.

This test isnʼt just about passing. Itʼs about showing that we have what it takes to shape our own destinies.

We didnʼt come all this way to quit. Even if the odds are stacked against us, weʼll fight with everything weʼve got, because this is the start of something bigger.

So, letʼs give it our all and walk out of here knowing we gave everything for the future we believe in. Letʼs make it happen!”

As I thought, from the guy who looks like a protagonist his speech was perfect. I saw how he stoked the flame in some as he inspired them.

Even I was inspired by his speech, I canʼt believe he improvised it on the spot.

just by listening to it, I couldnʼt help but want to give my best for to fulfil my dream, going through this test is just the beginning of everything.

I have to go ahead, and try, even if in the end I fail.

ʼno!!!, I will not fail and I will go ahead and do it for my alternative self, for my past and for my future I will be the best version of me and I will do the impossible!!!ʼ. 

”Letʼs go!!! there for our DREAM!!!”

I shout with vigor and fire burning in my soul, eager to show what Iʼm made of. ᕦ(ò_ó^)ᕤ

”””FOR OUR DREAM”””(x9) 

With flames a in our eyes we went searching in what will become stepping stones of our dreams.
