episode_0166

A storm passed by.

The dormitory, which had been filled with wailing and screaming, suddenly became quiet.

“What was… just now?”

Atra said, rubbing her head. The stubborn jealousy that had been welling up was completely incinerated after what had just happened.

Something so intense and eerie happened all of a sudden.

Everyone in the bedroom understood what this meant.

A lot of people with colorful hair came in, but the bedroom was large enough to accommodate them.

Their eyes were focused on the bed.

Lee Ha-yul fell asleep soundly as if nothing had happened, and Lee Seo-yul fell asleep hugging Lee Ha-yul tightly after crying loudly.

The term “asleep” may be an oxymoron.

Normally, when blood is pouring out of the entire body and consciousness is lost, it is not called sleep.

“Well… wouldn’t it be pharmaceuticals?”

Liana responded. Her face was extremely haggard from the storm that had struck her.

“Cadet Lee Ha-yul, you were definitely trying to convey something, right? But just before that, it came to a sudden stop, and my body began to tremble convulsively and vomit blood… Isn’t this a reaction that violated the restrictions?”

“Constraints? Who on earth will impose such restrictions on reaction and when? Above all, there is no way the person involved in the restriction does not know the conditions.”

Liana and Atra had many experiences while working on the front lines of African magic. Among them, there are those who are restricted, although it is rare to see them.

That’s why Atra questioned.

Not only is it very difficult to establish constraints in the first place, but such strong constraints are so rare that they are hard to find.

The scene was still so vivid.

Blood pouring out of the hole as if flowing backwards.

There was blood foam around the corner of the mouth, and when he coughed repeatedly, unidentifiable pieces of mushy flesh popped out.

The entire circuitry of my body was twisted and torn apart, and I was trembling like I was having a seizure…

‘……’

Now that I remember that again, Atra’s head hurt as if she was going to pass out…

What process must one go through in order for such a restriction to be established? Also, because Lee Ha-yul did not know the conditions, he tried to reveal the secret and came back with a death sentence.

More than anything…

“Recovery at the same time as recoil… No, it regenerated at super speed, right?”

“It’s not like giving medicine or a bottle…what the hell.”

The reaction from the pharmaceutical drug turned into a blood clot, and the wound suddenly regenerated as if time had been rewound.

I checked it several times, but it was in good condition.

A reaction imposed on those who violate the conditions of restrictions.

It usually turns the person who violates the restrictions into a half-asshole or leads them to death.

But you take away all the pain and then restore me?

Death from shock due to pain? If you’re going to go through that kind of trouble, it’s better to just kill it with those resources.

“…It’s not clear whether it’s a restriction in the first place. All I did was suddenly vomit blood and faint…”

“What the hell…”

No one knew the exact reason. Everyone’s expressions turned gloomy.

Everyone here knew that Lee Ha-yul had his own secrets, but they never imagined that trying to reveal a little about him would lead to something like this.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s stomach was burning. I felt like it was my fault that Lee Ha-yul ended up like that.

I’ve looked into the secret a little bit before, and I felt guilty that I might have kept it in mind and ended up like this…

Elia, who was standing next to him, was equally rotten inside.

The sight of Lee Ha-yul pouring out blood as if he was regurgitating pieces of internal organs right in front of his nose was clear.

No matter how much I exerted my unique ability to heal and regenerate, I couldn’t stop the blood, and my complexion automatically turned pale as I remembered my gradually cold skin and the sound of labored breathing…

“Could it be a curse?”

My attention was focused on the voice breaking through the silence.

Also, his face stiffened at the unusual connotation of a curse.

Water-colored hair grown straight to the waist and blue eyes.

Baek A-rin, who had been silent earlier as if she was lost in thought, shrugged her shoulders at the hard gaze focused on her.

“The conditions are established, but the parties do not know the conditions. There are a lot of curses like that.”

“Certainly, considering that the person concerned does not know the conditions, it could be a curse.”

Liana nodded.

“But can a curse be accompanied by such a reaction and conditions? There must be insufficient output?”

“I think it would be possible if careful preparations were made in advance and accompanied by a sacrificial ritual. Above all, considering that the recoil is strong but does not kill, it may have been achieved by adding non-killing and regeneration conditions.”

Rihanna and Baek Arin were leading the conversation.

Other than that, I listened to the conversation because I didn’t have enough expertise to join in.

The conversation continued quite fluently, and Liana’s eyes widened.

Baek A-rin’s knowledge of curses is beyond imagination.

Surprisingly, Baek A-rin’s knowledge about curses is several levels higher.

He knows exactly how the curse is established and how it is carried out, which even Liana does not know properly.

“Curse… It’s so minor that you’d just learn how to deal with it and get over it, but you know it very well, right?”

Black magic is also taught in poetry cradle. Although it is said to be a very unclean and objectionable technology, it is not just a persecution.

If you continue to persecute them, even your ability to deal with them will be lost. For that purpose, black magic classes also exist in various educational institutions.

But it’s not that popular. All you learn is how to deal with it, but in most cases, you don’t know the exact operation method or establishment process.

Needless to say, it is an in-depth course.

However, Baek A-rin was even knowledgeable in in-depth knowledge.

“Ah… Well, there’s nothing wrong with learning.”

In response to Liana’s question, Baek Arin smiled vaguely and twisted her hair with her fingers.

“I was also personally interested.”

* * *

Sometimes humans worry about the reason for birth.

Why was I born, or what should I achieve in the future?

In general, there is no reason for humans to be born.

There is no special background for its birth, and there are few cases where it is born to achieve something.

Usually, humans are not born with a purpose. It is not created for use.

Swords are made to cut and stab something, but for humans, their use is not fixed.

“Heeing…”

But Lee Seo-yul was different.

Tears were hanging down at the corners of my eyes. I was overflowing with emotions.

A whirlwind of emotions swirled around that the young Lee Seo-yul could not yet define.

What they all had in common was a feeling of wealth.

It was far from happiness and joy.

That night it got dark.

Lee Seo-yul woke up feeling sad about the world, turned his head and hurriedly looked for Lee Ha-yul.

It wasn’t visible.

Lee Ha-yul was sleeping close to Elia on the other side of Lee Seo-yul.

He uses Elia’s arm as a pillow, burying his face in the side of his chest and breathing evenly.

“ing..”

Lee Seo-yul flapped his wings.

Avoiding Elia’s touch, he settled between her and Lee Ha-yul. It wriggled its way through them and clung to Lee Ha-yul’s arms.

Her body had become smaller than before and was now smaller than her own, but Lee Seo-yul didn’t care and buried her face in Lee Ha-yul’s arms.

The sense of relief and warmth that comes from that.

The yellow man… Elia’s arms were quite warm, but this one was much happier.

A few months ago, it might be too much to even call it the past.

Lee Seo-yul was fixed in the form of an egg and had not hatched, waiting in a hazy consciousness for a master who would one day hatch him.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The hazy consciousness and instincts were just waiting for the time to hatch.

I was excited.

It is a sign of the owner trying to wake him up.

Lee Seo-yul at the time was confident.

I didn’t think much of it.

There was a small joy of finally hatching, but there was no great joy.

Even before she was born, she understood the entity called a fairy knight.

I am a shield and sword to protect my ruler. It was a spear and armor.

A tool designed and born solely under the guardianship of the ruler, and lives its life with one absolute priority purpose.

Anyway, the future I would live in was decided.

While the previous fairy knight protects the ruler, she grows rapidly and becomes an adult.

During this time, they acquire knowledge to protect the ruler entity, including combat skills.

After becoming an adult, it will remain by the ruler’s side for the rest of its life and serve as a tool.

While I was thinking that, I felt a hand gently touching the surface of the egg.

The careful touch, as if touching something very delicate, and the warm and cozy wave of emotion that came from it shook Lee Seo-yul’s mind.

A fairy knight who wasn’t even born.

For Lee Seo-yul, who had not experienced the world and had established a cold self only through built-in knowledge, it was a wave of emotions that was so strong and soft…

‘Is this, ruler…?’

The ruler Lee Seo-yul thought was different.

Contrary to expectations that he would be cold and cold in order to lead the species, his behavior of holding the egg was warm and kind.

The waves of emotion as I held you in my arms and protected you from harm were so sweet.

– Should I just take a bite?

Bright red human. A human woman made of flames tried to eat her.

– Let’s eat a little bit. It’s this big, so why worry? huh? how is it?

These were not empty words. The fairy’s innate sensitivity captured the sincerity in the red woman’s words.

The red woman really intended to break the egg shell and eat Lee Seo-yul, who had not yet hatched…

– that’s right. Honestly, aren’t you curious about the taste of Hayuldo? If something strange comes out of the lottery, it’s a loss. I knocked on it and it seemed to have some contents inside, so I tried cooking it and eating it.

There was also a yellow woman next to her. Contrary to the instinctive friendliness, the words spoken were extremely cruel.

Of course, the yellow woman was more of a joke, but it was not without sincerity.

Let’s break the egg, take out the contents, put it on the fire and bake it. I will heat the fire plate. Let’s slowly roast the contents and roll it up and eat it. Let’s put the whole egg on the fire and cook it and eat it. It’s big, so I’m sure you’ll eat it to your fill…

Lee Seo-yul could only tremble in fear inside the egg, hearing voices all predicting his own terrible end.

The person who protected Lee Seo-yul from such threats was the ruler.

Compared to the other two humans, it was small and delicate, and desperately protected itself from threats by hugging the egg tightly.

After birth.

Because he was still young and weak, he could not protect the ruler, but Lee Ha-yul did not mind at all and showed infinite affection and looked after Lee Seo-yul.

He gave me a name and dressed me in soft clothes. I held him in my arms to keep him from shivering from the cold, and fed him warm food in case he was hungry.

At night, he held her in his arms and patted her until she fell asleep, and whenever she opened her eyes, she always smiled and welcomed her.

It was a very moving and happy experience, but it also felt deeply helpless.

She was a fairy knight before she was a child.

A fairy knight who is supposed to protect the ruler is being protected by the ruler?

The fairy knight’s instincts rebelled. A fairy knight born with a mission shouldn’t be like that.

Where have the fairy knights of the past gone? Why is the ruler being persecuted alone? Where have the other compatriots gone?

It was not a matter for the fairy knight to worry about.

Seoyul Lee is a ‘fairy knight’ designed and created to protect the ruler.

She has a use.

There is a reason for being born, and there is a purpose that must be achieved in life.

The ruler’s protection.

That was the only purpose the fairy knight had to achieve.

“Dad…”

However, the reality was too cold for the young fairy knight, who had been hatched for less than half a year.

Seoyul Lee was a young individual that had not yet reached adulthood, and the ruler was still exposed to threats and fighting alone.

Contrary to his resolve to fulfill his mission, Lee Ha-yul often fell between life and death several times.

As time passed, Lee Ha-yul’s vitality gradually faded.

Lee Seo-yul was not next to him, and there was nothing he could do.

It was still like that now.

Even if Lee Ha-yul collapsed and vomited blood right in front of him, there was nothing Lee Seo-yul could do.

Even though he has to throw his body around like a meat shield to protect his ruler, he is unable to even do that.

Seo-yul Lee could not suppress his feelings of joy and acted foolishly, rubbing his face against Lee Ha-yul’s back.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

Lee Seo-yul chewed his lips.

There were many reasons to use as excuses, but the harsh world did not understand him.

‘hurry…’

need to grow

Fairy knights grow very quickly among fairies. This is because in order to use it in battle, it must reach the adult body as quickly as possible.

But even that time was a waste.

I couldn’t afford to mess around.

Lee Seo-yul pulled out the information recorded in his brain one by one. Among them, we selected the necessary information.

Lee Seoyul flapped his wings.

Wings are a symbol of the specialness and uniqueness of a fairy’s race.

They are not just the kind that are beautiful and eye-catching; they perform a variety of functions.

Lee Seo-yul glanced away.

A blue cloth floating in the air… it is the wing of the sky, an artifact owned by Lee Ha-yul.

It was also Lee Ha-yul’s wing.

Lee Seo-yul slowly stretched out his wings and touched Lee Ha-yul’s wings.

The wings trembled. Soon, ‘information’ came in little by little through Lee Ha-yul’s wings.

‘Faster…’

I quickly learned the information necessary to become an adult.

It was two days before the second semester started.
