“Are you here, Instructor Cloud?”

It seems that putting all one’s effort into acting didn’t have much meaning.

“…Instructor Aria?”

“Yes. I am.”

Backroom and waiting room before entering the briefing room.

After the encounter with Yggdrasil, I faced Instructor Aria, who stood behind me almost like my counselor.

“Is this heaven?”

“…….”

Aria Milky Way looked down at me for a moment with a strange expression mixed with contempt, then pointed to her academy instructor uniform.

“This is Starlight Academy in Starlight Colony.”

“I see. Is it an inevitable fate?”

“Yes. It would be better if you explain calmly.”

“Even if I try to explain it, I think everyone will probably guess it anyway.”

Maybe it was because I climbed up the window and came back down, but I began to see things one by one that I shouldn’t have seen.

A trace of ether.

I see something like red fog and purple fog.

If the scent of perfume were visible to the human eye, it would probably look like this.

As traces of people passing by.

“Who’s inside?”

“There are all these people. Even when it is not a person.”

“Ha…. I guess it’s a good thing that the instructor came to welcome me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Because the instructor is not the person to question me behind my back.”

At my words, Instructor Aria puffed out her cheeks with a somewhat sullen look on her face.

“…Something, that expression.”

“I also have a lot of questions, but I’m just keeping this in mind, instructor.”

“I guess I’ll hear it later anyway.”

“There is a world of difference between hearing a story in front of everyone and listening to it separately.”

I was speechless for a moment at Instructor Aria’s words, but unfortunately, I don’t think anyone would give Instructor Aria any time.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

“Hey, it’s noisy. Why don’t you just shut up and sit down?”

“Eat the cookies that belong to you!”

“I don’t like it? I don’t eat minced meat!”

A commotion came from inside.

Although it is not publicly disclosed, it is right to stop those who cause such a commotion in a place that is essentially an official setting, but who can stop them?

“I guess I should go in.”

The person causing the commotion is none other than the Creator and Ether Bus.

Dang.

As soon as I touch the tag on my left wrist, the door to the briefing room opens.

“Uh, instructor!”

“Ah, hello, instructor!”

I can see all the people there.

Lavender, Green Camp Four, Ensign Natalia, and Captain Edmund.

Not only those who were stranded together, but also those who held high positions in the colony are present in the briefing room.

The people who didn’t seem to be here were definitely Vice Principal Scarlett and the principal sitting casually next to her.

As if it were only natural, the colony’s general manager was sitting as the principal, smiling and waving his hands as if he were not an ether bus.

“Ha.”

Stand in the middle of the briefing room.

The microphone was already ready, and they had gathered here to hear my explanation.

“First, let me introduce myself.”

There are many eyes focused on me, and it feels a little awkward to say it again in front of everyone.

“Former member of the Galaxy Unit, Ace-Top Gun. Code name [Paladin].”

I just calmly introduced myself, but even those who knew me fell silent.

“I didn’t have to say it, but I couldn’t talk about it because it was top secret even within the Galaxy Unit, but given the situation, I couldn’t help but mention it.”

We have no choice but to reveal what has been kept secret.

In fact, it was an open secret, but there is a world of difference between the rumors being rampant and the person involved saying it was true.

“He was probably known as the Paladin of Blue and Silver, and that’s right. He was also the owner of the creation tree [Sapphire Unicorn].”

The only person who knew this was Lavender.

Except for Captain Edmund, this is actually the first time anyone has heard this as a ‘public statement’ here.

“There are probably a lot of questions you want to ask. Why is someone like that here doing this? There is nothing else. Because my physical condition was not good enough to work as a pilot.”

To give a little analogy.

“Even an ace who has shown tremendous activity in a sports league is out for the season if he suffers a hamstring injury or fracture. I just retired because it couldn’t be restored.”

“For something like that…”

Someone muttered quietly to himself.

Soon everyone’s eyes were focused on the academy teacher, but I responded with a slight nod.

“I neutralized 10% of the total power of the universe by riding the Genesis Water.”

Is 10% a bit of an exaggeration?

I don’t know.

However, considering that their ether engine is completely damaged and it will take at least 6 months, or even more, to restore it, considering the cost of restoration, wouldn’t it be that much?

“There is a premise. Riding on the Creation Water.”

“What is that…?”

“If you ride an AS that runs on a regular ether engine, it puts a huge strain on your body. If you don’t have a visor, your optic nerves will burn and your eyes will rot.”

“However, ether is an exception!”

A non-human being, a woman wearing a red academy uniform, stretched her hand upwards.

“You cannot ride a gas made with human technology, but you can ride the Creation Water made only of ether!”

“Thank you for the explanation. Gyehongwol.”

“Who is Gye Hongwol!”

“To function as a human, you need a name. At least I think it’s better than Kim Fenril.”

“Uh, am I Kim Fenril? It feels weird because it seems like a duplicate?”

The two creators began to worry about the name issue for a while, but the story was not over yet.

‘Hey, I-Gdrasil is laughing and telling me to give an explanation instead of going astray.’

He is a tree-like person who provides shade to everyone, but when he gets angry, he seems like he will go on a rampage without hesitation.

“Hmm. Let’s skip the name issue and let’s talk about it.”

There’s no benefit in touching on this, so let’s get back to the point.

“Taurus Colony’s fleet commander tried to use me as bait to lift the Red Moon barrier. What she overlooked was that she thought the red moon would recognize me and ‘kill’ me. …Andy?”

“Uh, yes?!”

Andy, whose name was suddenly called, was embarrassed and jumped up.

“Why did she decide that the red moon would try to kill me?”

“Uh, um, is it okay for me to tell you?”

“Yes.”

“…Because [Paladin of the Spear] has a record of defeating [Red Moon].”

Whether it is blue silver, blue silver, or white blue, it is different depending on who sings it.

“He stabbed the cockpit of the Red Moon and killed the pilot.”

“That’s right! It hurt a lot at that time. Because the pilot’s pain was passed on to me.”

“Uh, um….”

“But it may have been revenge for the pilot, but it was a battle with no reason for revenge for me, right? Rather, it was closer to salvation.”

The red moon came towards me and grabbed my arm.

“The savior who escaped from his evil master and was reunited after almost 7 years! You mean? So there was no reason for me to kill this person.”

They were sent to die, but instead they used the enemy’s tactical nuclear weapons as their power.

“Wouldn’t that woman be really polished by now? Because of a mistake.”

“Well. Red Moon did something like that, but I think it was too big an incident to be held responsible for.”

“Keuhm.”

“…Anyway, through encounters and negotiations with Red Moon, we were able to defeat the swarming enemies.”

This is my story up to this point.

“That’s it.”

“Is this…?”

“Okay. Above.”

“Wait a minute!”

Hanae, who seemed most unlikely, raised her glasses and jumped up from her seat.

“If you are truly the Paladin of Changeun and the owner of [Sapphire Unicorn], which has reached the limit of etheric evolution, then why now…!”

“Ideological differences.”

“Ideology…?”

“To put it simply, we divorced due to personality differences.”

“Divorce?!”

Was there a bit of a problem with language selection?

Lavender screams in surprise, and Instructor Aria, who was standing next to me, flinches.

“We spoke with the most similar feelings, but if you think about it, we’re not married, so it’s a bit ambiguous to say. Well, let me correct you.”

“Do I need to make a correction?”

Captain Edmund asked back with a hint of a smile.

“One wanted his sick owner to become an android, and the other insisted on dying as a human even though he was sick.”

“It was like that.”

“If I get on AS one more time, I get closer to death, so I was free to live as I wanted before I die, but I guess this ex-husband cheated on me with Red Moon.”

“Look, Captain Edmund.”

“Hahaha!”

Captain Edmund chuckled and pointed at everyone.

“I see that everyone understands, Instructor Cloud. How much easier to understand if you make a simple analogy like this rather than saying something long for no reason?”

“I’m most angry about the fact that it’s not wrong.”

“What can you do if you’re angry? Now, Starlight Colony desperately needs you.”

“…….”

The situation happened.

I boarded the AS-ether bus to save everyone.

“Sapphire Unicorn, Miss Sayu will come to see you again.”

“Still, I left a warning through brain quantum waves.”

“Warning…?”

“He said he would come visit us soon. I didn’t say when that was, but.”

Everyone was scared.

Because everyone knows what role the Sapphire Unicorn is currently playing.

“Hey, I’m just asking just in case.”

Vice Principal Scarlett cautiously raised her hand.

“It’s a bit hard to say that our Starlight Colony is currently secured, but in any case, if we seek cooperation, there are ‘three’ Creation Beasts that can help us with all our might, right?”

“Yes.”

“Can you defeat the Sapphire Unicorn with their help? If only we could bring in a new pilot…”

“There is no such thing.”

Although you could call it selfish.

“Because she is a unicorn.”

Even if I board a different aircraft, she will never let another pilot ride on top of her.

“But that’s not the power she has.”

Everyone swallows.

“Galactic Forces.”

As well as.

“Zodiac Union.”

12 Constellations Colony.

“He, the leader.”

today.

“The problem is not that she is the creator.”

The order of the Universal Century is maintained by the [Laplace’s Code] led by [Sapphire Unicorn], the representative of the 12 Colonies Union and Zodiacs.

“The problem is that she is the chairman of the 12 Colony Union Council.”

The Creation Tree says it will protect order and peace in the universal century, so who can stop it?
