episode_0107

A tiny fairy, who seemed to be smelling the fragrant scent of grass as she rode on the palm of my hand, frowned and grumbled.

“I can’t believe all those things are really happening?”

“That’s true, Darkhan.”

“…Things like that happen in my academy. I feel bad.”

I was surprised by the unexpected words.

I thought she would half-ignore me, but unexpectedly, she listened to everything I said.

“Do you believe everything?”

“If you didn’t believe it, you didn’t even listen.”

“..Thank you.”

“He’s someone supported by Athena, so there must be something. And…”

As she spoke, her face turned slightly red and she muttered, tapping her foot.

“Somehow I feel like I want to believe you..”

“Huh?”

“Ah..no!”

I looked at her for a moment as she hurriedly waved her hand.

‘…As expected, you care a lot about your students.’

A fairy who loves the Academy students more than anyone else, although she doesn’t seem to care much.

In the novel, Darkhan was unable to escape from the swamp of guilt for a while when his students were injured.

But I told you all about the disasters that happened at the Academy, so you’ll see much less damage than in the novel.

Feeling happy that the conversation was going smoothly, I looked at her and smiled.

Then, for some reason, Darkhan’s face turned bright red and he began to speak urgently.

“Ha..But still. I don’t believe everything.”

“Oh. Is that so..?”

“Of course!! What a ridiculous story! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even listened.”

“Well..that’s true..”

She wasn’t wrong.

But that’s okay.

If only I could have instilled in her a sense of alarm, it would have been a success.

When you face the first coming disaster, you will know that I am right and you will be better prepared for the remaining disasters.

That’s fine.

Although Darkhan’s power is not as strong as Athena’s, she is still one of the strongest warriors in the Empire, so she should be able to overcome him.

I breathed a sigh of relief as if I had found peace again at the Academy.

Now I can go back with peace of mind.

“So you have to stay here.”

“Huh?”

The unexpected words made my tongue twist and come out of my mouth.

I looked at Darkan with a puzzled expression. She was glaring at me with her arms crossed.

“You really meant to go on like this? We’ll have to wait and see if what you say is true!”

“Uh…yes?”

I pointed to myself and said, feeling dazed.

Stay?

Here at the academy..?

It won’t be a problem, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be there.

“You want me to stay here..?”

“Of course! If what you said is wrong, then we have to change the plan!”

“…..uh.”

“Just believing what you say is a huge favor to me. You have to take responsibility for what you say.”

……It’s not like that’s completely without reason.

Everything I’ve said is just stories from novels.

There’s no guarantee that everything will turn out exactly as it is.

It was already a very twisted story, so it wouldn’t have been surprising if one or two disasters had gone awry.

If that’s the case, then obviously nothing good will happen.

Besides, it’s definitely like she said. I have to take responsibility for what I say.

If we go back like this.

‘I told you everything that’s going to happen, so stop it all.’

It was no different from leaving irresponsibly.

But that doesn’t mean I should be in the academy.

“..Is there anything I can do if I stay here?”

At my words, Darkhan covered his mouth with his hand and began to chuckle.

“Hehe..Why isn’t it there?”

She, who had been standing on my palm, flew in front of my eyes and spoke in a bright voice.

“Become a student and feel how great my academy is!”

“Huh?!”

“The best professors. Top-notch facilities. And all kinds of expensive training equipment! There’s a lot to do.”

“Okay..just a minute.”

“Originally, you would have to take an entrance exam, but… Since you are someone guaranteed by Athena, that is not necessary at all.”

I felt burdened by Darkan’s gaze, which was piercing through me with a look of anticipation and sparkling eyes.

“I’m a little old to enter the academy..”

“It’s okay! I’m the CEO, what’s the problem? Can’t I just lie about my age?”

I don’t think that’s something you should say as a chairman.

“Will you come in? Will you be my student?! Huh? Huh? ”

“…..”

I couldn’t say anything because of her overly excited appearance.

…an academy. I couldn’t even imagine it.

When I first started studying, I had many exciting thoughts about what it would be like to enter the academy.

But it was a greed that I had put down because I didn’t want to become a hindrance to the protagonist.

But now you’re talking about the Academy.

Of course, there was no problem.

If there was just one possibility, it would be the possibility of encountering Lily, but there was a solution for that.

I had the art of disguise that I learned from Sephir.

Even if I ran into Lily at the Academy, she wouldn’t recognize me.

As such, Sephir’s disguise is quite advanced.

‘I’ve already said everything that even Athena didn’t notice…’

Actually, there was one reason why I wanted to go to the academy.

But I kept it hidden in my heart.

I wanted to see Lily.

My dear brother.

How did you grow up now?

Because she’s a cute and pretty girl, she must have made a lot of friends.

Perhaps someone like me might have forgotten it long ago.

I have never forgotten Lily and Dania for a single day.

I just kept it in a corner of my mind and tried not to think about it much.

If I go to the academy, I’ll be able to watch her from afar.

Academy.

It wasn’t a bad story.

but..

For some reason, I couldn’t accept it rashly.

My illness was not completely cured yet.

I would shiver when someone touched my body, and I would feel like I was suffocating when I was in a crowded place because it felt like people were staring at me.

It was much better than before, but traces of the past still remained and tormented me.

“…I’ll think about it.”

In the end, I couldn’t make a decision, so I had no choice but to withhold my answer.

Then, Darkhan, with a regretful expression, climbed onto my shoulder and looked at me.

“Okay. I’ll give you a room in a nearby dorm, so stay there and decide.”

She hesitated for a moment, blushing, then spoke to me in a small voice.

“I..I wish you would protect the academy with me.”

For some reason, I felt like I had just heard an embarrassing confession.

Darkhan really loves the Academy.

“…..Oh right. Now that I think about it.”

I almost forgot.

Actually, I should have asked this first.

“Are there any warriors in the Academy right now?”

One of the biggest reasons I came here.

Darkhan’s eyes widened at my question.

“Huh? Didn’t you know? Rumors spread throughout the empire that you were admitted this year.”

‘…also.’

I felt reassured by her words.

If there’s a warrior who entered the academy this year, it would be Robin.

As expected, the rumors I heard were definitely nonsense.

‘He is the representative of the gods chosen by the goddess herself. It’s not like the story can change just because it’s a little off. ”

While I was sighing in relief.

Darkhan put one finger on his chin and made a quizzical expression.

“Surely…the warrior’s name was…Lily?”

“Yes, that’s Robin-”

…..

…..

…..

….what?

Did I hear something wrong?

“What…what did you say?”

“Huh? The warrior’s name. Lily. What, you didn’t even know the warrior’s name?”

“…..”

….what?

What did you say?

“Huh?!!!?!”

* * *

Thump-thump-

“That’s a lie…That’s a lie…”

I just walked on, looking at the floor in despair.

I couldn’t believe it.

Lily is a warrior.

What the hell is this?

But the occupation written next to Lily’s name that Darkan showed her was clearly a warrior of the Holy Sword.

no.

How on earth.

‘How on earth does Lily become a warrior?!!!?!’

He looked up at the sky and let out a silent scream.

It was ridiculous.

It’s also hard to believe that the Holy Sword’s hero isn’t Robin.

The fact that the warrior was none other than Lily hit me hard in the back of the head.

“Ugh…”

A sense of foreboding permeated my heart.

If Robin had been a warrior, I wouldn’t have worried at all.

Robin’s unique trait: unyielding will.

A special ability that gives you stamina and strength to never fall until the very end, as long as you don’t give up.

And the strongest, unbreakable holy sword to match.

With Robin’s powers combined with the Holy Sword, he was able to overcome any ordeal.

‘Of course, you’ll have a hard time…’

But if you’re the main character, you have to go through that much trouble.

I thought that I would be rewarded with the hearts of countless heroines later anyway, so I thought that I could endure that much.

But if Lily was a warrior, it would be a different story.

I sent her to the academy with the idea that I wanted her to have various experiences.

It was never meant to be a struggle to become a warrior.

I don’t like it.

I didn’t want to see my sister Lily go through such a difficult time.

Besides, Lily, unlike Robin, has no powers.

If you give up in the middle, you could end up collapsing.

I had to help Lily.

But I didn’t have the confidence to face her.

“What on earth should I do….”

How on earth can Lily escape the shackles of the warrior-

‘….huh?’

While worrying about Lily.

A familiar face caught my eye.

“Iris?”

It seemed like class was over and he was heading back to the dorm.

But she looked around for a long time.

After making sure there was no one around, I walked to a place outside the academy.

‘…Where are you going?’

For some reason, her behavior was suspicious. I hid my presence again and followed her secretly.

It didn’t take long for Iris to be followed like that.

I was able to arrive at a dark alley where it seemed as if no human footsteps had ever reached.

‘This is definitely not a place where Iris would be…’

Let me look at her suspiciously.

Iris paused for a moment, looked around for a while, then took something out of her bosom.

And then right away-

“….Huh?”

Phew-

With the eerie sound of flesh being torn apart.

Iris let out a deep moan.

I looked at her with trembling eyes.

Bright red blood was flowing down her legs.

And where the blood flows.

There was a dagger embedded in it, small but clearly a sword.
