I Tried to Avoid The Male Lead, But I Made Harem

Vol. 2 Chapter 3.1

Chapter 12 part 1

* * * * *

Another semi-final was soon followed.

It was The Raven vs The Gladiator.

However, the mercenary gladiator did not show up.

“Boooooooooooo!”

The stadium where The Raven was left alone was again booed by the crowd.

The Raven, left alone, heated up the audience with his crazy performance of shouting and screaming his fighting spirit.

Thanks to that, most of the nobles said they would bet on The Raven.

The Berserker vs The Raven.

Everyone said The Raven would win.

That’s how serious The Berserker’s physical condition was.

I was told that the knife had pierced his body twice.

‘I’m not going to treat him this time.’

That man originally wanted to die anyway.

‘He even asked me to kill him.’

However, I couldn’t accept him deliberately overusing his body, as if he was testing how many stabs could make a person to die.

I feel bad for him to endure the pain alone in the darkness with his injured body but…

“Miss Selina, will you go back to Countdom after the Martial Arts Competition ends?”

“Yes.”

Franz did not openly say he was disappointed, but his expression looked like that.

“You’re supposed to come and see me, don’t you? To the Countdom.”

He was cute as he blushed when he smiled.

“You’re not in a difficult situation because the Magic Stone is gone, are you?”

“Oh, no. That’s definitely not the case. It has already been reported as obsolete.”

Aha.

Well, that’s how Franz was able to steal it.

Well, it wasn’t his first time stealing it.

“Because The Magic Stone also has its lifetime.”

As I was being handed over poppy juices from him, I stopped working at the moment.

“Even if it was discarded and siphoned off to the private sector, it would have only been used by mercenaries to read the divine power.”

“Then… Does that mean that the Magic Stone couldn’t be used to heal a person?’

“Yes, that Magic Stones couldn’t be used for healing purposes.”

I stared straight into Franz’s eyes, who affirmed the fact.

“Why are you looking at me like that… Miss Selina?

“What if there’s a person who can use those Magic Stones for healing purposes? There must be exceptions.”

“Well, I don’t know. Can you treat people with a Magic Stone that has already reached its end of life… No way!”

Franz winked at the quarantine room with a surprised face.

“I was wondering why you were always going back and forth to the quarantine room. Did you go to treat the man, Miss Selina?”

I responded with silence.

“Oh, my. Why did you do that to me?”

Franz was shocked and put his hand on his forehead.

“Did Lord Cedric Crawford bet on that guy? Miss Selina, are you being threatened by your uncle?

“Did you think  my uncle would watch a Martial Arts Competition?”

Franz shook his head.

I also didn’t think Cedric was going to participate in the Martial Arts Gambling.

“Miss Selina, please promise me that you will not go near that quarantine room in the future.”

I nodded slowly to Franz’s solemn face.

Only then did he lower his voice and explain as if relieved.

“Miss Selina didn’t heal that man.”

I frowned gently in the middle of my forehead.

I’m sure I saw the wound get better in my prayer clearly, but what did he mean by that?

As if reading my thoughts, Franz spoke quickly.

“Of course it would have looked like that. But that man has the ability to heal himself.”

The words that the apprenticeship priests were talking about crossed my mind.

So it wasn’t all groundless rumors?

“Only priests know this fact. That man never dies.”

“Even if his head is cut off?”

“Well, then he might die… But he’s not the kind of person who’ll be like that in the first place.”

“Then that person will win.”

“I don’t know either. There are always variables.”

In the meantime, Franz led me to the infirmary.

It was near the quarantine room.

“In fact, the temples bet on that man under the name of Viscount Harold.”

What?

But that’s prohibited.

Of course, it is illegal for the temple to participate in gambling.

“How great would it be if everyone lived just by obeying the rules? The world looks like this because they’re telling us not to do it.”

“… Is it okay for you to say this?”

“Of course not!”

Franz peeked his head and looked outside the infirmary.

His dignity as a high priest was nowhere to be seen.

“But it’s Miss Selina who complied and persuaded me to take me to the capital city, who was quietly living in this countryside!”

Looking back at me, he scolded me while lowering the volume.

“My body and mind are already in sync with Miss Selina! Do you get it?”

“Why body…”

“Shh, look.”

The moment he winked, the door to the quarantine room opened.

“Argh!”

At the same time, one person was pushed out as if he was being bounced.

He was a priest.

He groaned, grabbing his face, as if he had been beaten.

“It’s a priest from another temple. Because there are no more healing priests in the west monastery.”

But why suddenly? He had never been treated properly all this time.

Ah, maybe because tomorrow was the final, so the temple seemed to have secretly called in a healing priest.

“shackles! Come on, bring me more shackles!”

When the priest shouted urgently, the temple’s knight entered the quarantine room with a chain.

Then a high scream rang.

The eyes of the priest, who witnessed what was happening inside the quarantine room, grew as if they were about to pop out.

Eventually, he crawled and ran away.

The knight who had taken the chain and several people who had already been inside also ran away bleeding.

They hurriedly closed the quarantine room.

Boom, boom!

The iron door began to ring as if the wall was about to break.

I was secretly watching the scene in the infirmary, and I was speechless.

“It’s okay because he was anesthetized, otherwise no one would have survived.”

According to Franz, that man also killed all the prisoners in the cell he was with.

That’s why he entered the quarantine room alone.

‘So, I really did something dangerous, huh?’

For a moment, my head went blank and I had forgotten what to say.

The surroundings calmed down, and I barely removed my lips again.

“How did that person become a Toono?”

“I heard he was a prisoner of war.”

My heart dropped suddenly.

“Then… Are you saying that the man was originally from the Dukedom that was in conflict with the Empire?”
