chapter 4
1. Not that kind of person
** 1. Not that kind of person
A gust of wind rages.
What will happen when the trigger in that little girl’s hand is released? First of all, I think I should go in with the fact that I’m going to die.
It wasn’t just because I was in a state where my magic was sealed that I felt more fearful than the ferocious storms of the night sea that I had experienced once.
“Sup… “
How can I not get a quote?
I calmly set myself up. It wasn’t that there wasn’t a way to fight an opponent who was using magic while his magic was sealed.
However, the biggest problem is that you will no longer be able to hold mercy in your hands.
Even in such an unreasonable and unfavorable situation, if you manage to subdue that guy and inflict even one noticeable wound on him, the result will only increase the notoriety of the terrifying origin.
In case you don’t know, wouldn’t it be better to refrain from using blades as much as possible? Even if someone gets hurt, that has to be me now.
“Haa… “
Reluctantly, I threw the dagger I was holding onto the ground. Wins, who caught that in his eyes, now looked like a demon and glared at me.
“…I will come out like that until the end.”
It seems like there are more misunderstandings inside.
She skillfully handled her energy that had been captured before she knew it. The magical energy formed at her fingertips dances dazzlingly between tangible and intangible forms.
I soon found out naturally that she was a mage who handled her qigong. Her strong feature is that it can be used in many ways.
Among them, especially telekinesis.
Winds made this area completely her own territory and sentenced her.
“I won’t say that I will make you lose your bones. I’m just going to make it to the point where I can keep my academy life quiet from now on, huh?”
“…..”
The wind blows.
The whole area has become so quiet that it can be said to be the eye of a storm.
-…..!
-…..!
Now it’s to the point where you can’t even hear the shouts of the vigilante’s men.
All of them were worried only about Wins, who would be punished, but they didn’t even care about me, who would be torn to shreds, so there was no need to worry too much from the beginning.
As I prepared to run at any moment, I focused my attention only on when the wizard dropped his hand.
It is common sense, but a wizard secures a minimum safe space in order not to be affected by his magic. If you can enter that space, unexpectedly, magic is easily destroyed.
It’s because it’s hard to approach.
Meanwhile, my unfazed appearance seemed to anger Wins even more, and now she shouted as if she had become the storm itself.
“Profit… Don’t even think about fighting against it!!”
The big one is coming. I felt it intuitively.
“Que… !”
Without time to respond, Winds lowered his arm, and an irresistible gigantic energy from the sky tried to press his body…
A strange thing happened.
Saaak…
“… Huh?”
“Um… ?”
The raging gale dissipated as if it had never existed, and the mana that Winds had spewed out also vanished.
It all happened in an instant, and both Wins and Nana let out a bewildered noise, her hair tousled.
Jerbug. That buck
At the moment it became quiet, I heard the sound of quiet footsteps somewhere.
I swallowed without even realizing it at the sound of them approaching, cutting through the silence that had fallen for a moment. This was another magic.
The perfect intervention of a third party that eliminated the gust of wind in one fell swoop.
For someone else to completely cancel another person’s magic, it was an area that was close to impossible unless there was a difference between an adult and a child’s level of competence.
So I was shocked.
‘Who the hell… ‘
My head turned as if possessed, and I looked.
It was a figure whose silhouette overlapped with the princess of an empire he had only seen once in the previous world.
The golden hair, the unusually embroidered school uniform, the air surrounding it, the features, the gait, the suffocating momentum that only those who put even the smallest unspeakable habits under complete self-control can flow. Did.
However, those things were not the only things that really mattered.
I shuddered, feeling something close to awe.
‘Same origin… He’s a senior.’
Once I saw that her glove had the same stigma as mine, nothing else mattered.
At least it was certain that it was the only rope that would help us overcome this situation.
**
Orien.
It was the name of the senior who rescued me from the storm.
The situation was unexpectedly settled quickly, because as soon as she saw Orien, Winds left the place with a frightening speed, followed by the rest of her men, disappearing in an instant.
Suddenly, with only the two of us left, the senior ordered me to follow her with just a gesture of her chin.
After walking around the campus of the academy, we arrived at this place.
“This is… “
“It’s our only circle room.”
I was fascinated by the majesty of the circle room and looked around for a while.
A space that can be called half ruins.
There is no sound furniture here and there, all broken or worn out. The ones that were burnt belonged to the good side, and the ones that were severely damaged were just empty with half of the body gone.
Orien held on to one of the chairs that were falling over, and after briefly brushing off the dust that had accumulated on it, she sat down.
The series of processes seemed very familiar.
I asked, stuttering unwillingly.
“Um, over there… Is this really the circle room?”
“Is that so?”
Orien, who was sipping an antique teacup that she didn’t know when she took it out, casually affirmed. No, now I see that she is coming up from the teacup to the seaweed.
Her astonishment meant to keep her mouth open and idly, she said.
“By now you should have felt roughly how we were treated. Isn’t it?”
“…How did this happen?”
Orien said, putting down the teacup.
“Um… It would be right to explain the background first. Oh, do you know what our origins are called?”
Unfortunately I don’t even know that. Orien laughed as she shook her head at her confused mind.
“You will never hear the name Eros here.”
“Eros… “
Eros.
That was a tough tag that I would never let go of as I made my way through academy life.
“It wasn’t long before Eros warriors started being incorporated into Academia. It’s a stigma that didn’t exist a while ago, this.”
Orien took off her stigmatized white cotton glove and waved it with her forefinger. The fancy heart-shaped patterns sway from side to side in the air.
Unexpectedly, the back of her hand was smooth. If so, they say she has stigmata somewhere else.
At that moment when I was lost in her thoughts, Orien’s beautiful voice pierced my ears.
“What do you think?”
“Oh, please continue.”
“That’s why, at first, everyone welcomed the new line of heroes. Academia before Eros appeared, there were so many bright and hopeful warriors. It was pure I have no doubts.”
“What does that mean… “
“On the day the 34 warriors from Eros were first summoned in the middle dimension, there were a total of 52 cases of rape, 17 cases of murder, and 3 cases of suicide.”
“…..”
What?
My head went blank for a moment and I was speechless, but Orien continued to explain.
“The next day, 46 rapes, 28 murders, and… “
“Wait! Wait!”
I hurriedly threw up my hands and jumped up. And I tried to understand as much as I could about what I had just heard. However, it couldn’t be that simple. Because my head has already finished calculating the serious concentration of f*ck.
“How is that… No, why… “
“Why? Trash entered paradise, so it was natural. The idiots from Eros just acted the way they used to, and that was far from the sensibility here.”
As the explanation got longer, Orien took a sip of her tea. She might have already guessed what was going to happen and pulled out the teacup.
“Imagine. There were two lovers at Academia who were doing well. But one day, a madman showed up and hypnotized and brainwashed her female side into a public fountain show in the most populous plaza of the Accademia. If so, what will happen next?”
“…..”
Even while I’m at a loss for words, Orien’s sharp tone continues.
“The man who watched the scene of the lover he loved fell socially in an instant turned his back and headed for the gymnasium. Returning to the plaza, he had an ax in his hand, which was not even his main weapon. It didn’t take long for the square to become a bloodbath.”
The terrible history you don’t want to know, but need to know, is reproduced in Orien’s mouth.
“Is there an expression that says the cock is in the brain? The idiots of Eros, who were afraid that it might be real, went to bed after f*cking up Academia in just three days. After erasing their own stigmata so that they cannot pursue them.”
“…Where are all those guys hiding?”
Orien stopped sipping his teacup and pointed out the window.
As she cast her gaze along her outstretched index finger, she saw a vast sky beyond the vast dimensional membrane that covered her academia.
“It looks like the endless blue sky is spreading beyond the dimension of Academia, but in reality it is an empty outer space. There is nothing. In general, the entirety of such a space is called ‘outside’.”
“External… “
“Normally, it is impossible to survive outside in normal ways, but we are still vigilant in that they have escaped without hesitation.”
“……Huh.”
I’m going crazy.
My whole body was losing strength, so I naturally slid my body into the chair.
I finally found out the cause of all these things, the cold attitude of my seniors from another dimension, the identity of the disapproving gaze that followed me all the way from the entrance ceremony.
And the reality was more horrific than I could have imagined.
In fact, isn’t that what Eros was like a collective criminal organization?
Because of this, I was genuinely curious.
“How am I still alive?”
If you listen to the history of the sins Eros committed, it wouldn’t be strange at all to have about 20 swords stuck in my back. Even Winds’ magic exercise felt like an ordinary occurrence. That is how I feel now.
The senior laughed.
“Didn’t I say that? Basically, most of the warriors are talented people who have overcome countless hardships and adversity with only love for humanity. They say nature is good. I want to give you a chance, whether you like it or not.”
“A chance?”
“Yes, I only have one chance left now, as countless idiots from the front cut off all those opportunities.”
“…..”
Afterwards, Orien closed his eyes and tilted the teacup without saying anything.
For a while, only the sound of tea sipping and the occasional wind blowing through the broken window coexisted in the circle room.
“…..”
After being silent for a long time, I could barely open my mouth.
“…I am.”
A hoarse voice came out.
“I… What should I do?”
“What are you doing?”
Orien raised the corner of her mouth refreshingly.
“Now is the time for proof.”
At the same time, a huge figure attacked me.
