Aestrea's form was a blur; the thin luster of the moon trailing behind him like a meteor across the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KSHHHT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was sharp, clean, and sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of silvery light split through the air, so bright it seemed to cut the very darkness surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost as if the moon had descended into that moment, lending its luster to Aestrea's sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KURAAH...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bulking Demon roared, jolting as it staggered at mid-charge, before freezing in place, staying in the same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His massive form quivered as if unsure of what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea appeared a few steps behind it, his sword pointing to the ground, its edge sopping with an icy gleam that faintly shimmered as frosts began building up along it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was standing still, only breathing heavily; blood was dripping down from both his arms and sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, only silence remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep fissure ran through the center of the demon's body, splitting it from head to toe. The demon's roaring turned into a choking gurgle as its form began to collapse on itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black blood gushed out, hissing as it touched the frozen ground beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body of the demon fell onto the earth, cut neatly in half, and its purple aura flew away, scattering like smoke in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield remained silent for a few seconds, everyone staring in disbelief at the fallen demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-he... he killed it...\" Iris muttered, holding her arm as she looked at Aestrea's figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea...\" Ella who had been ready to charge earlier murmured, gripping her sword tightly as she took a hesitant step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody could believe that he had killed a named demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did he... after everything, how did he still manage to...\" Lucas gritted his teeth as he staggered to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was beyond shocked to see that Aestrea had really killed the demon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I could also kill it... but he didn't use any holy-type attack or weapon... he killed it with pure swordsmanship aura.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a level that Lucas had tried to pry into but couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Aestrea turned slightly, his faint smile still in place. His crimson eyes glowed faintly under the moonlight, but his legs wobbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... guess I overdid it a little…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped to his knees, his sword clattering to the ground beside him. Blood pooled beneath him, staining the frost-covered earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaugh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mouthful of blood escaped his mouth as he clenched his chest with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his efforts didn't go to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✦Your Strength and Vitality attributes have been increased by 1.✦\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After months, his attributes had finally increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group started approaching him, but unfortunately, Aestrea couldn't exactly reply as his vision started getting blurrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyelids slowly closed as lastly saw a hand reaching out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't the kind of suffocating heat from a battlefield drenched in blood and flames, but a soft, soothing warmth that felt... quite comforting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second thing I noticed was the ceiling. High, arched, and bathed in gentle colors from the sunlight filtering through stained glass windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Am I inside the cathedral...?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I distinctly remember the ceiling when I was in the Saintess's room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this mean...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body ached all over as I tried to move, yet, I couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something—no, someone—was holding me down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I tilted my head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There she was, the Saintess, fast asleep on my legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her golden hair spilled across me like soft threads of sunlight, and her peaceful face seemed to glow under the dim sunbeams streaming through the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing was steady, her delicate features relaxed in a way that made her look almost unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Scheiße...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze, cursing silently unsure of how to process what I was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers twitched slightly, brushing against the blanket covering me. She sighed softly, snuggling closer as if she didn't want to wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, calm down, I told myself, taking a slow, deep breath. My heart was racing—why the hell was my heart racing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I searched around the room for answers. The cathedral was silent, that kind of silence which is almost holy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A washbasin of water sat on the little table beside him, bandages folded nicely in them. There was an almost imperceptible comfortable aroma of herbs in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had treated me which was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze drifted back to her, still sleeping soundly on my legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked so... peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her light, golden robes were slightly wrinkled, probably from staying here all night. The golden sunlight kissed her face, making her look like some kind of angel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah... this completely ruined my plans.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hand ached as I reached over to her head, caressing softly her golden locks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What am I supposed to do now?\" I muttered to myself, as I took my hand away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving felt like an impossibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My entire body screamed in protest, and the last thing I wanted was to wake her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I slowly let my head fall against the wall behind me and looked up at the vaulted ceiling: the intricately carved and depicted scenes of angels and holy symbols seemed to mock me as if asking what someone like me was doing in a place like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't even remember how I got here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last thing I remembered was when I used the third move of my sword art—『Third Move: Moonlight's One Flash』.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my entire life, I had only used it a little over twenty times, and the four remaining moves even fewer times than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them needed a large amount of mana and I couldn't hold that much of mana. At least for now, and that's probably the reason the grade of the sword art is S???.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't sharpen it enough to reveal its true rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, an image popped up in my mind; the Bulking Demon cleaved in two, then a sharp pain in my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else after that was fuzzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I guess I really overdid it, huh...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're awake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft voice suddenly broke through my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked down, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina's eyes were half-open, their usual radiant pink dulled by sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked a few times, as if trying to shake off the remnants of her dream, then sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I didn't want you to see me like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina gave me a faint smile that contained a hint of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't mean to fall asleep like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her words, I also smiled in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright, and I'm sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bent down my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bulking Demon suddenly appeared and I couldn't simply let the civilians die, so I didn't act only mind an—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—it's okay. I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt a delicate hand brushing itself against my cheek. I looked forward and saw the most beautiful smile that I had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head was tilted to the right, and her lips were slightly parted from each other, with the perfect features of her face being framed by the dim sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if talking to a child, she said those words in a really soft tone that could probably melt any living being in the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to have stopped as we stared at each other's eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh-hem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice suddenly broke the time as we immediately retracted back from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry for disturbing you love birds, but the Saintess is needed.\" John with his sarcastic smile uttered with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina stood up, holding the hems of her robe before leaving the room in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, John sat down at the edge of the bed, giving me a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I interrupt your special moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice came out in a teasing tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't have to deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere from a few moments ago was just perfect for me to lean in and kiss her reddish-pink lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaa... I'm sorry, but the Saintess was really needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm? Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but ask in curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of the patients was infected by the Dark Order's curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words completely caught me off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-03T09:18:17.018Z","2026-06-03T09:18:22.334Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee5ecbeb41faadb20c1d0360e7e848a409cf391aaba691a5c3a3c132d987ad71","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-14","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-12",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-cover.jpg"]
