Spirit Master Who Is Volume 2 Chapter 4 part 3

“So, why am I being dragged into this?”
 
“Training. You’re helping.”
 
“Ugh.”
 
The next day. While I was in the library trying to research evil spirits, Lily somehow appeared behind me and dragged me to the academy’s training grounds.
 
“Do I have to be the one to help?”
 
“Since Linda is my opponent in the next rank battle, Rourke or Gareth would be the best fit.”
 
“Ah, I see.”
 
Linda is a spirit master like me and Gareth, the type who fights directly on the front lines.… Read more

“Generally, it’s said that forming a contract with one drives you insane. So maybe those with strong mental resilience are qualified to form contracts?”
 
“…………”
 
Is my mind that resilient?
 
If anything, every time it seems like my lack of a spirit contract might be exposed, my stomach twists in knots. I don’t think I’m that strong…
 
“I don’t think it’s that simple. There’s probably something more fundamental…”
 
Lily shook her head at Gareth’s suggestion.… Read more

Chapter 4: In Search of a Contract Spirit

 
“Finally, things have calmed down, huh?”
 
“Yeah…”
 
Sitting side by side on a bench in the courtyard, Gareth and I exchanged those words as we absentmindedly gazed at the academy buildings.
 
Several days had passed since the attack, and the academy had finally regained its composure. Classes and the ranking matches had resumed, and everyday life was gradually returning to normal.
 
As for the damage, there were injuries among the disciplinary committee members, but no fatalities.… Read more

Leia leaned in close, her face filled with concern, and Rourke instinctively leaned back a little as he answered. She let out a deep sigh, as if she had truly been relieved.
 
“…Really… I’m glad.”
 
“What about you, Leia? Are you hurt?”
 
Though not as much as Rourke, she had also used a big technique, so her spirit energy must have been heavily drained. From what Rourke could see, she didn’t seem to have any major injuries, but he couldn’t tell if there was any internal damage.… Read more

“What is that…?”
 
“That’s Loxley’s contracted spirit.”
 
Rourke explains to Leia, who wears a look of astonishment.
 
The Silver Knight, now resembling a silvery, gelatinous substance, writhes and contorts its body eerily. Its appearance is nothing like the armored knight it had been moments before.
 
“A Metal Slime. That’s the true form of the Silver Knight.”
 
“A Metal Slime… I’ve never seen one before.”
 
Leia, utterly shocked by the unexpected identity of Loxley’s contracted spirit, gazes at the Silver Knight with a stunned expression.… Read more

There stood Haunted, his cold eyes glaring down at her.
 
“That one strike of yours was good, but other than that, you were nothing but dead weight.”
 
“……!”
 
Haunted’s words pierced deeply into Leia’s heart, leaving her unable to think clearly even with the enemy right in front of her.
 
“…………”
 
“Hah.”
 
Mocking Leia, Haunted slowly raised his sword and swung it down, aiming to sever her neck as she hung her head in despair.
 
“Who… said I was dead weight?”… Read more

Just as Rourke braced himself for the incoming blade, a red tail slammed into Haunted’s side, sending him flying out of sight.
 
“Please don’t ignore me and push forward with your conversation.”
 
Turning his head, Rourke saw Leia and Salamander glaring at Haunted, who had been sent flying. Salamander, in particular, had flames leaking from its mouth, clearly furious.
 
“Ah, I got so focused on talking with Rourke that I forgot about you.”… Read more

“Don’t worry about it. Keep your eyes on him instead.”
 
As Leia looks at her shoulder with a shocked expression, Rourke reassures her that it’s fine and directs her gaze toward Haunted.
 
“Oh my, you… I see. That person must’ve been too much of a hassle and let you go.”
 
Haunted slowly walks closer, his eyes shifting toward Leia.
 
“I actually wanted to face him one-on-one… but oh well.”
 
“…!”
 
Leia shivers slightly as Haunted glances at her, and he smiles at her reaction.… Read more

“Multiple contracts…!?”
 
In the direction of Rourke’s stunned gaze, three distorted contract spirits emerged from the space behind Dejan. Shifting like shadows, their forms resembled that of werewolves.
 
The spirits let out a growl and leaped over Dejan, charging at Rourke from three directions.
 
—So fast!
 
Despite being slightly delayed in reacting, Rourke prepared to counter the swift spirits. Just then, a stream of water shot out in a straight line, cutting between Rourke and the werewolf spirits.… Read more

“The remaining three seals can’t be undone unless the three keys are used—two held by the royal family of the Romus Kingdom, and one by another individual.”
 
“Who’s the other person?”
 
“Unknown. This person’s identity is completely hidden. But it’s certain they’re a citizen of the Romus Kingdom.”
 
Leia looked surprised by this explanation, but I remained silent. This was because I had researched the seal of another one of the Four Fiends, the Dark Dragon Apophis, during a lecture, and the content was almost identical.… Read more
