chapter 122
The roof of a building away from where the prince’s team is.
“Coke, Coke! ha. haaa… … .”
The blue-haired woman coughed violently. Saliva flowed between the fingers covering his mouth, which he couldn’t bear to swallow because of the cough.
“Sah, could you give me another piece of candy?”
A barely real woman said to the platinum-haired man squatting beside her. The man rustled in his pocket and handed me a small piece of candy.
“Ha! Whoa. Whoa… … . Coke.”
The woman sat down halfway and put the candy the man gave her into her mouth. And he calmed down little by little as he patted his neck.
“Am I doing well… … ?”
The woman, who had barely stopped coughing, asked the man with an anxious expression.
“okay. You are doing very well. Just hold on like this for a little longer.”
The man smiled and answered the woman’s words.
“If you do as I say, you can definitely win.”
“… … Yes, I will do my best!”
The woman answered the man in a clear and clear voice.

“This is the magic of sound.”
I said with confidence.
“The magic of sound… … ? I didn’t hear anything… … .”
Dimitri asked back as if he didn’t understand. Katyusha also responded that he did not know.
“Did you hear Mi-ryung?”
“yes. I definitely heard it. It was so loud that it hurt my ears.”
Mi-ryung answered my question as if she had been waiting.
“Did it make a sound?”
“I haven’t heard.”
However, Katyusha and Dimitri had completely different reactions.
“uh? Haven’t you all heard? It can’t be. It was a painful and scary sound that made my ears fall off… … .”
Mi-ryung was flustered.
“There is no way Mi-ryung would lie. it would have made a sound We just haven’t heard.”
I summarized the situation clearly.
“beast… … No, there is a sound in the range that humans cannot hear. It must have sounded like that. Like the so-called ‘sound of the forest’.”
“Certainly, since beastmen’s senses are many times more sensitive than humans, they may have picked up sounds we couldn’t hear.”
Dimitri nodded in agreement with me.
“But is it possible for sound to be shocking?”
But then he asked again as if he still didn’t know.
“Is it possible. Dimitri, have you ever seen a circus or something like breaking a wine glass with just your voice?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“… … there is. let’s say there is It’s difficult to explain properly, but it’s possible to give an impact depending on the wavelength or vibration or something like that. Think of it as something like tingling when you scream into your ear.”
At my explanation, Dimitri seemed to have understood roughly, and agreed.
“Did you understand Kachu and Mi-ryung?”
“If Mikhail says so, then it must be so.”
“If it’s what the Crown Prince says, I think it’s probably right!”
… … Well, it’s not something you have to understand the principle of, so let’s get on with it. In fact, I don’t have the confidence to explain it that well either.
“Well, normal people would have a hard time breaking a wine glass, but… … If you have the magical power of sound, you should be able to amplify that sound and create the current shockwave.”
“By the way, I heard something.”
Katyusha said as if he remembered something.
“There is one member of the choir who has the magical power of sound.”
“As expected.”
If Katyusha’s words were true, the person I was expecting was right.
“Speaking of the choir, is it Ms. Aria?”
It was Aria, the rookie captain of the knight academy choir.
“Mi-ryung, do you know?”
“I remember coming here to hear howling in the past. It was embarrassing, so I couldn’t hear it in the end.”
When it comes to howling, it’s an act of howling a canine and an animal side by side. I wonder if they do hand-in as well.
“Oh, no. If you do it in the current situation, it will be a big deal because your location will be revealed.”
“Should I put off listening to later? Dimitri, have you heard anything?”
“I haven’t actually seen it, but I remember hearing it a few times if it was a voice. I remember it was a very nice voice. Could it be because of the magical power of sound?”
‘Looking at this point, there’s not much difference from the original.’
In the original work, there was a short episode in which Eugene, who was on the verge of closing due to various circumstances, changed the name to a choir with the help of those around him. Arya was the protagonist of the episode.
‘Is it possible to do this with the magic of sound… … ?’
In the original work, there was a scene where Aria shouted in anger after a quarrel, and the windows were shattered all at once.
However, is it possible to blow shockwaves over such a long distance, and even to emit sounds in a range that is imperceptible to humans? Something didn’t make sense.
‘But judging from the original episode, I can roughly understand what the situation is like.’
However, there were a few things we could be sure of.
The reason Aria participated in the Colosseum was obviously for the survival of the choir.
Arya, who hates violence enough to break a window with the magic of sound after a quarrel and run away after being hurt by the fact that she did this, that there is someone who orders this group.
‘Eugene, I mean you should take care of it… … .’
Because of Eugene’s perverseness, he became a character who was driven away without being saved. Same as for bytes.
“… … I don’t like it.”
I said in an annoyed voice.
“The situation that makes me use that good voice for something out of place like this.”
As a fan of the original work, it is very unpleasant to see the protagonist of a rare heartwarming episode working too hard in a place like this.
“I’ll send you back to the choir. It doesn’t suit Arya here.”
A suitable place, I will let you meet the original ending.
We made our way towards the sound. Mi-ryung sensed in advance and hid when a powerful shock wave regularly came.
“Sound, it’s getting rougher. It sounds like you’re writing a song, should I say… … .”
Mi-ryung trembled and said, covering her ears with both hands. It was a frightened reaction, as if he had heard the voice of a ghost.
“Do you feel anything other than that?”
“Ah yes. that is… … . What can I say, it seems to be very painful.”
When I questioned Mi-ryung, she replied with a lack of confidence. I sighed and asked again.
“Does that sound like you are overusing yourself?”
“surely… … . I think so.”
Mi-ryung nodded in affirmation. At that answer, doubt turned to conviction.
‘I guess I know who the guy attached to Arya is.’
A violation of the magical power of self-destruction.
It was the dark side of the knight academy.
“If left alone, Arya will be in danger.”
“What do you mean?”
Dimitri, who was watching over the building, turned around and asked.
“… … Dimitri, have you ever heard of the magic of self-destruction?”
After thinking for a while, I asked Dimitri.
“I’ve heard that it’s a magical power that makes the target collapse on its own, but I don’t know what it is specifically. After all, it’s not polite to ask about the other person’s magic power.”
“I also researched diligently, but I didn’t hear anything. sorry.”
Following Dimitri’s answer, Katyusha also spoke in an apologetic voice.
“are you okay. because i know Then let me explain briefly.”
It was already expected. It was something I had been hiding until the end of the knight academy.
“The magic of self-destruction——strengthens the target.”
“enforce… … Are you?”
“The magic of self-destruction removes the limit of the target. As a result, it allows you to use more abilities than your body and magic allow.”
“But then, isn’t it different from the name self-destruction? Mustafa told me that the word means ‘to collapse on its own’… … .”
“no. That’s why it’s called ‘self-destruction’.”
I shook my head and answered Katyusha’s question.
“Because the limit is gone and the target that runs out of control will eventually collapse on its own.”
“… … !”
At first glance, the magic of self-destruction looks similar to my boost, but it’s fundamentally different.
If boost is to bring out the limit from a limited line, then on the contrary, it is the power that removes the limit and causes it to run out of control.
“In other words, are you saying that Arya is running out of control with that self-destructive magic? … ?”
“okay. Considering Mi-ryung’s testimony and the amount and strength of the shockwaves that have flown so far, there must be not much left.”
The observed mana was spreading like a big explosion and then becoming dangerous like a candle right before it went out. It will gradually approach the limit.
“If we just hide and wait, it might collapse and end on its own. No, probably.”
If you just drag it out for some time, Arya will eventually collapse on herself and be unable to fight. Also, that voice will be lost forever. The magic of self-destruction, like all those who were used by Wiburn.
“But I don’t like that ending.”
Of course, I have no intention of letting that happen.
It is impossible to understand without giving true education to Wiburn, the owner of self-destructive magic who is arbitrarily enticing and overusing Arya.
‘And if it’s Wiburn, it wouldn’t be strange to say it’s related to Parabellum.’
Not only that, but because Wiburn was the ‘black curtain’ of the academy that disappeared by destroying itself, leaving behind countless rice cakes.
I never thought that he would show himself while I was there. I am very grateful for that hasty appearance.
“Keep going. Arya’s magical power is gradually weakening… … ?!”
dump.
“Ugh, ugh… … . ha ha ha… … .”
When I turned around in surprise at the sound of the collapse, Mi-ryung, who had been quiet at some point, was exhausted and collapsed.
“Miryeong, are you okay?! You have a bad complexion!”
“I’m sorry. It’s a very strong sound, so I’m not in a good mood when I keep listening to it… … .”
Dimitri hurriedly helped Mi-ryung. Mi-ryung breathed heavily with a pale expression on her face.
“… … I’m sorry. Even if you received it with your body, it was a powerful shock wave. It would have been more difficult if you had heard the sound properly. I couldn’t take care of you.”
I didn’t think that Mi-ryung was overdoing it while thinking about Arya and Wiburn. It was a pitiful mistake.
“Oh, no. It’s because I’m sensitive. It’s not the Crown Prince’s fault.”
“I get it. First of all, Mi-ryung, you should hide here. We’ll finish our work and come back.”
In this situation, it would not be good to forcefully take Mi-ryung. Mi-ryung tried to say it was okay, but met my determined gaze and nodded in silence.
“yes. sorry… … . Then I’ll dig a hole over here and hide. Then I think it will be okay.”
“hmm? cave… … ?”
“yes. If you’re in a burrow, you won’t be able to hear it, and I’m good at digging burrows… … ?”
“cave… … . Is it an oyster? good. There was a way.”
I am,
“Let’s dig a hole in the ground.”
A funny thing came to mind.
