chapter 55
55 – 1. Academy (55)
#55
‘How did this happen?’
Seongcheol Ji swallowed his saliva and tried hard to balance his body, which was staggering from dizziness.
When he first heard the rumors, he thought he was a no-brainer.
No one remembers seeing that man at the entrance exam. It’s strange that he doesn’t stand out because of his job as a summoner.
It was around that time that rumors began to circulate that he had arrived by parachute. What spurred that suspicion is a new rumor that started to circulate this time.
I heard that the woman who is the owner of the [Dragonia Group] And that man are engaged.
Some people have the same name. The rumor continued, but the more they dug deeper, the more the truth of the rumor turned towards that man.
Some people had a hard time getting into the school, but others came in behind the scenes. It’s annoying being a parachute, but he’s proudly in S class.
He’s a no-brainer anyway.
So why don’t we deal with the mudfish that muddy the sacred academy? He’s the fiancé of a famous group. No matter how famous they are, their reputation is inferior compared to the other 7 groups.
On the other hand, he is a talented person who has been recognized for his skills and has risen to class S. It is only natural that they become stronger and become famous in the future.
The difference between myself and that man was clear.
And in this class, there is a real young lady belonging to the 7th group. Yes, they are taking care of the dirty things in advance before those young ladies are harmed.
On the contrary, it is certain that the owner of the [Dragonia Group] Will also fall out of love with this opportunity and be abandoned as it is.
I had to…
“Turn it off…”
Effortlessly swallowed the sour food that came up to the temple. The shadows that had been spewing out with the momentum to absorb even the surrounding light slowly faded.
“…Ha”
It was the devil who sat with the sigh coming from the other side of the shadow.
The first was that he was surprised by the appearance of the armor that instantly stood there as if painting his entire body black, and the second was because of the large amount of mana emanating from it.
As if to oppose, everyone squeezed together their mana.
However, the man who easily twisted it as if there was no point in struggling like that, no, the devil glared at me with an expressionless expression.
Creepy
Die. Was it not just me who had that thought?
“Hick, heeik?!”
“What, what the hell are you talking about!? Wasn’t it incompetent!!!”
Leaving the formation, he hurriedly pounded his fist on the barrier behind him, but only the message
Outside contact is not possible during a duel came to mind before his eyesight.
“Because…”
Sparks flew in the eyes of the bewildered student, as if he had realized that he could no longer go outside or come inside.
The target was, ironically, not the devil in front of him, but himself.
“It’s because of you!!! It’s all because of you!!!”
“Right! Why did you do that?! Aren’t you ashamed to say that you want to be a hero but have one to the majority?!”
What the hell are they talking about? Weren’t you guys the ones who encouraged me just a moment ago?
We haven’t been friends for a long time, but we’re still classmates. How did we become close with each other this time? But why are you trying to run away by yourself?
For selling me? To survive?
No, I wonder if I was a friend to them in the first place?
Burrr…
I felt chills. A sense of loss, as if something is breaking down from the foundation. Instinctive refusal that I can’t listen to that anymore.
Above all, if I take those words as they are, that is the fear that I will end.
<3>
<2>
Even if you regret belatedly, the result will not change.
<1>
As the count dropped, the magical power that suppressed the surroundings disappeared. Surprised by the sudden disappearance of the enemy, they moved to the place where the demon was located.
However, the place where the darkness was located was not in the front, but at the side of the student who first approached the end of the barrier.
Puck!
“Kreuk…!”
As soon as the stomach was hit with a fist, the body that was about to rise suddenly stopped abnormally. I want to fly, but I can’t. It’s a foot
The demon stopped the boy from flying by stepping on his foot.
Quad Deuk!
“Keep it off…”
The student who had been beaten without hesitation, as if knocking on a wobbly punching bag, belatedly put his arm on his face and tried to defend himself, but even that was not easy.
Puck! Empty! Poududeuk!
If you cover your face, it will attack your body, and if you avoid your body, it will attack your face.
Blood bursts in real time and refluxed gastric juice splashes. Liquid splattered in all directions without tears or runny nose.
But none of the filth splashed on the person who was hitting it right in front. It was because the shadow on his hand before that popped out like a ghost and threw away the filth.
“Buy, save…”
“One.”
Bagak!
A clean blow from the jaw pierced the skull, leaving a thick trace of magical power in the air.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the figure as it soared through the air as if it had also let go of the foot it had stepped on.
Then the flagship again.
Everybody fainted. Even so, someone let out a sigh at the sight of the mana condensing his legs again in front of the student who was flying through the air.
Kwaaang!!
Mixed with the sound of light, my ears were deafened, but I was sure that I was nearby. It’s the sound of something breaking at the same time as the collision.
The evidence was the figure of a male student who instinctively regurgitated blood to survive despite fainting. It’s obviously broken in a not-so-good place.
At the same time as the emotionless guardian’s words, a male student lying halfway across the barrier is thrown outside as if collapsing.
The rest of the group gulped at the sight of the medics carrying the student away on a stretcher.
We have to fight.
Abandonment is impossible. Because the only condition for defeat was the impossibility of continuing the battle.
Conversely, if the battle still seems possible under the guardian’s judgment, it means that this will not end anytime soon.
It was only then that he realized how absurd he had accepted the conditions. Realized at the same time.
Even if he died and woke up, he would not be able to defeat that demon.
“Keep it off…!”
Even so, I can’t just be beaten like this.
I drew my sword. Put on magic As if responding, the others also began to take up their own weapons.
Some people build magic, while others fire arrows with condensed magic.
In accordance with that timing, he also charged himself. If you don’t defeat the enemy right in front of you, you will die. My eyesight trembled at the overwhelming sense of fear.
There is no way that a clumsy attack that is not even properly centered because it is swung in desperation can’t work.
Teeing~
Only one.
Just by hitting the hand holding the sword to the side, the strength of the grip is released.
At the same time, a terrible pain ravaged my brain. Regardless of one’s will, the sword is let go. I squinted my eyes in great pain, but looked down and saw that only my thumb had been broken with a pinpoint.
I had to scream silently at my hands, which had turned dark red from being bruised and bruised.
“The center is empty.”
Puck!!
“…?!”
Before I can get rid of all the pain, my fist gets stuck in my stomach.
Sparks fly in my field of vision. Fire magic? No, there is no such momentum. It just hurts so much that my eyes blink like crazy. At the same time, the body flew through the air.
Am I going to go through the same procedure as the boy from before? No, it worked out better. Because I wanted to get out of this fear as soon as possible.
‘…?’
But the pain she had hoped for did not come. With a feeling of floating, something hit my back.
“Evil!!”
“This asshole won’t stop until the end…!!”
They were children preparing magic and shooting arrows.
The female student whose casting was canceled because she was crushed by herself was hysterical and tousled her hair. He transferred the magical energy he was trying to contain into her feet and kicked his abdomen.
Puck
“hehehe…”
It hurt. But compared to what the devil had hit, it was too soft. It was a big difference from the intense demon, as if one punch would break the entire body.
I came to understand the difference with my own body. It was dark. Can never win
I hated my past self for thinking that if I tackled that fact at once with these numbers, I would be able to do anything.
My self-confidence and self-confidence went out as if I had extinguished a candle.
“Cuck! aaa…!!!”
“Kyaaa!! That, stop…!”
What remains is fear.
I closed my eyes tightly as if to avert my eyes from the screams of others in my ears. He covered her ears and curled her head in place. Still, her desperate screams did not end.
The sound of something breaking was heard. Every time, an inorganic voice strikes the ear. The fishy smell of his blood filled his nostrils.
The more the screams overlapped, the more violently the body trembled.
Quaaang!! Pop! Boom!!
There was a fire. Explosions continued, but I didn’t think the demon was dead.
“….!!!!”
Look at that. Screams ring out again. Nightmare, this is a nightmare.
Last sound.
Jeobeok, Jeobeok
At the same time, the trembling stopped at the sound of footsteps approaching him. To be precise, his body froze, making it impossible to even move.
The cold sweat didn’t stop running down my back. He held his breath so as not to be seen, but it was too useless to do in the middle of an open classroom.
“You are the last.”
At those words, he could see his head lifted little by little. The devil’s feet located in a place looking down.
It is lifted slowly. It comes down towards you with magical power.
Ah, that’s it. This dream is finally over.
I shed tears over him. He closed his eyes. But no matter how much time passed, I didn’t feel the pain I should have felt.
Why?
When he opened his eyes to that fact, the devil saw that he was looking somewhere other than himself. My gaze also naturally headed in that direction.
“…From the first day, you do it so splendidly.”
There was Hong Soo-ah, a teacher with red hair who put her head on her head as if she had a headache.
***
“What is this?”
“Let’s see sippy”
I approached the Guardian and put my hand on his shoulder.
I obediently removed my hand at the warning message that flashed red from my eyes. Then there was silence, as if nothing had happened.
“…Ah, yes. As you can see, it is a fair duel.”
“It doesn’t look like a duel to anyone, but…”
After saying that, I looked at the student sitting on the floor and holding his head.
He was completely terrified and trembling. In addition, there were students who were pushed out of the barrier and carried on stretchers brought by medical soldiers.
Looking at them and me as we walked down the aisle, she placed her hand on her forehead once more, then lifted the device and opened her mouth.
“…Guardian, pass the judgment of the duel.”
At those words, my brow furrowed.
“What are you doing?”
“I intend to cancel the duel.”
“… Ha?”
“I would rather ask. Did you bully the weak children to relieve your insides?”
I was dumbfounded. It was that side that started the fight first, and that side that started a fight came first.
I have no crime other than accepting that and getting a duel, so why am I becoming like a bad guy?
“I don’t know why you talk like I’m the perpetrator when I’m the victim.”
“Maybe it was only during the process. If necessary, I will punish you for that. But just know that you will be at a disadvantage if that happens.”
“I don’t understand that…?”
“Because those are the rules.”
Rules. At those words, I felt like my stomach was about to explode. It was disgusting that the person who had taken the initiative to break the rule and attacked me would talk like that.
Historically shaking her head at my imposing attitude, Hong Soo-ah manipulated the device as it was.
What floated in the air was the classroom.
In the video at an angle that seems to have been taken from an angle, the appearance before and after the duel took place intact.
“You could have solved it through conversation, but you didn’t choose that. Or you could ignore it and report it to the committee. But you didn’t. No matter how much the cause was provided by the other party, as a result, it doesn’t change that you chose violence and wielded it excessively.”
“…The Guardian acknowledged it?”
“Sorry. There is a supervisor at the scene, so if it is reasonable, you can exercise priority with the referee’s authority higher than the guardian’s decision authority.”
“…This is a real abuse of power.”
At my words, Hong Soo-ah didn’t reply, just let out his snort.
I could see all of them saying with their eyes, ‘If you twist it, are you a teacher? I’m really dumbfounded.
“Of course, I am not blaming the cadets for their wrongdoing. To borrow a cadet’s words…Yes, it would rather be a fair return. In any case, what the cadet did was an exercise of natural rights, not retaliation or retaliation.”
Then why? The words filled his mouth, but he didn’t say anything. Hong Soo-ah smiled at him and nodded his head.
“We talked about it for a while, but in the first place, duels in the classroom are prohibited by school rules.”
“…?”
“So, if the result of this duel is concluded, information will be sent to the management AI of the academy right away. Then you, who had a duel in the classroom, are also disciplined, and those guys who got robbed for the subject of persecuting one person by gathering together are also disciplined.”
Sure. Is this because the reason I was disciplined wasn’t because I made half notes, but because I just had a fight in the classroom?
“If you get disciplined, you will naturally fit into the student council. Educating and rehabilitating troubled children is one of the things the student council does.”
“… Ha”
I lost steam at those words.
I did this to get rid of a nuisance, but it only brings more nuisance? This is the whole story. It can’t be. Cancer. Don’t be like that
As soon as the magic was released, the shadows surrounding the body collapsed and scattered at once.
Anyway, the initial goal was accomplished. You’re not going to have anything to say to me about this. Even now, there are guys out there looking at me.
“Tsk”
There were those who were in Class S, and there were those who just watched because there was a fight. I glared at him fiercely once and then withdrew my gaze.
“…Do it. Cancel the duel.”
“Is it really okay to turn it invalid? Wasn’t it so ardent that it was a legitimate right?”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“I see… I get it.”
With those words, Hong Soo Ah manipulated the device.
Terrible! Empty!
With those words, the mechanical angel left the classroom.
Isn’t there any special impression even though it made me walk in vain? If you’re like me, I don’t think you’ll feel good feelings for someone who trained you like this.
“They say they have human figures added to them, but those guys aren’t homunculus, they’re automatons, or mechanical dolls. They were created for the safety of the academy in the first place, so the cadets won’t think about them.”
I wonder if that thought showed up on my face again. At that, I sighed deeply and replied.
“…What was I thinking?”
“Aren’t there useless things like riots and human rights claims?”
Are you saying something disrespectful like it’s natural? This teacher.
Her
She looked at her with her salty expression, and she seemed to be embarrassed as well, so she loosened her neck and turned her head away. It was hard to see because it was hidden by her red hair, but the tips of her ears seemed a little red.
What is it? Did you mean that as a joke? It’s not like I’m showing off my real lack of sociability.
Looking at the results alone, it is no different from the fact that she cared for me. Should I call this a tsundere?
The moment I thought about it, I got goosebumps.
…Hmm, this isn’t quite right. I can’t admit that this is a tsundere.
“…Let’s stop thinking about it and start class.”
Hong Soo-ah, whose ears were reddened even more by my astringent expression, turned her face and headed for her classroom. Only then did I pass by the crouching man on the floor and let out a low growl.
“Be careful, really.”
If you get caught next time, there will be no real soup. He nodded his head with a tear-stained face as the feeling of having lived and the fear of the future gloomy school life coexisted.
I don’t know anything else, but I can feel one sincerity.
As expected, broken babies need to be beaten to come to their senses.
I took a look at Ban Tae-woong and his gang, who smiled bitterly at me, saying that it was too much, and then sat in the back seat in the corner where it would not be strange to call it my reserved seat.
“Then, I will call attendance before class. …Whether cadets go to the infirmary or go to their seats. Make a decision quickly.”
“Yes, yes!!!”
The male student stumbled and headed for a seat other than outside.
Even if this happens, the academy, in this crazy world, moves normally as if it never did.
I sighed at the strangeness and looked out the window. Are all academies this way?
If you casually touch it as if there were no accidents, that’s it! I overreact and things get bigger. In addition, the synergy of the main character driving incidents and accidents is added, so it should be said that everything has been said.
…Wouldn’t it be better to break down once and come to your senses a little?
There was no one to answer my question. It’s not like I thought about it seriously in the first place. It’s just that annoying.
As I rested my chin on my chin and just looked at the passing clouds as usual, my heart seemed to become more and more peaceful.
I don’t know about anything else, but if there’s a guy like my successor in the future, I can tell you this one thing.
I mean the academy.
What a f*cking place. Do not come. Just. It’s best not to come. You can grow up outside, right?
I can’t help it because of the f*cking main character, but I hope you don’t let something like me happen.
Ah, now that I think about it, the outside looks the same. Because that’s where people live.
…Yes, actually, home is the best. When you come out of the blanket, you are a high school student. I don’t know who made it, but it’s a very well made word.
If I could, I would. Do you know my heart well? Don’t you know?
You get down on your knees, too.
I quietly closed my eyes while thinking such stupid thoughts.
