And so, the day of the finals arrived.
In his room, Noah put on the Areishia Spirit Academy uniform. Once he had finished dressing, he reached out and picked up the two short swords resting by his bedside.
Looking at the two short swords in his hands, especially the silver one, Noah spoke silently in his heart.
(Still unable to pull herself together?)
Although Est still responded whenever Noah needed to use his Spirit Armament, she had not appeared in human form at all during this time.
Even when Noah spoke to Est in his heart through their contract, she responded, but her voice sounded utterly listless.
Clearly, Est was not in good condition.
There was only one reason for this.
The existence of Honglian.
(As expected, Est still cares deeply about the Saint's aura appearing on Honglian?)
The aura of her former master, who had once died, had appeared again—but that alone was not why Est was in such poor condition.
If it were merely because she sensed the aura of her former deceased master, Est would never have reacted so strongly.
After all, Est was now Noah's contracted spirit, not the Savior Saint's contracted spirit.
Even if it was her former master, once a contract ended, then regardless of whether their past bond remained, spirits would still place greater importance on the Elf User currently contracted with them.
The problem was that, to Est, the Savior Saint was not merely a contractor.
To Est, the Savior Saint was also a victim who had died because of her curse.
Est must have always carried an extremely deep sense
