Chapter Index

    A few hours before that.

    “Hot!! hot!! Haa!! Haha!!

    Lai Lai Cha Cha Cha!!”

    Blood, sweat, and tears.

    “Head!! head!! head!! Head!!”

    “Shoulders!! shoulder!! shoulder!! Shoulders!!”

    “Hey!! Stop the knife in the middle!!”

    The Academy’s Department of Swordsmanship can be summed up in three words, which is truly synonymous with effort.

    “Ugh!! Ah… … Shoulders… … !!”

    “Someone take him to the infirmary quickly.”

    At the training ground where morning training for the first day of the new semester was taking place, the sweat of the hard-working youth was overflowing.

    Whether it was vacation or the start of school, in the end, the work they had to do did not change, and even today, students were getting up from their fallen positions, bleeding, sweating, and squeezing out tears.

    However, among those students, there was one who was particularly unable to concentrate, as if he was distracted somewhere.

    While nearly a hundred students were seen pairing up and sharing swords with each other in a designated space, it was obvious what would happen if they didn’t come to their senses.

    “ugh… Hmm… !! Ah… Ugh… … !!”

    In the end, the girl, who was unable to focus on the opponent’s sword and got her wrist properly slashed by the wooden sword, ended up collapsing in her seat and letting out a painful moan.

    Anyone can make mistakes and sometimes get hurt.

    However, since ancient times, a swordsman has been a being that cannot be broken even if it may be broken.

    However, rather than breaking, the girl sat down alone, emphasizing that she had been broken.

    “Uh… hey… ?

    Monehen… … ?

    Is it okay… … ?”

    “It’s okay… Breathe… Ahhh… … ”

    The gaze of someone who was watching the girl was sharpening as she couldn’t even focus her gaze on the apologetic expression of her opponent.

    “Anne. Stay off to the side.”

    “Yes… Sorry, assistant teacher… … ”

    Anne, a girl who appears to be extremely weak.

    “There’s nothing to be sorry about.

    It’s up to you to bear it.”

    Lucia, the new assistant in the swordsmanship department who had something to say to Anne calmly, looked at her wrist for a moment and her face appeared to be slightly distorted.

    Was it because I found out that I wasn’t seriously hurt?

    Lucia’s words, which seemed like she was worried just a moment ago, became even sharper like an ice pick.

    “I can’t concentrate.

    What’s the problem this time?”

    “That… therefore… …

    it’s nothing… … ”

    However, Lucia’s metaphorical line, which meant ‘I don’t want to answer’, did not resonate with Lucia.

    From the perspective of a senior who hoped for the growth of a promising junior, it was inevitable that he would be dissatisfied with Anne being in such an absent-minded state and that the reason was so trivial that it was embarrassing to say it with her own mouth.

    “It’s already been a week. No, it was a little bit more.

    If it’s a problem you can’t answer, can you solve it yourself?”

    “That’s… … ”

    “I also basically do not rely on others.

    But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of forcing myself to take on things that aren’t my job and do them myself.

    The same goes for you.”

    It looks like the prosecutor can’t even take care of his sword properly.

    Such a foolish prosecutor was truly unqualified.

    Lucia walked up to Anne, who was squatting in the corner of the training hall, picking up the wooden sword that Anne had forgotten to pick up, and dropped the wooden sword on Anne’s squat legs, as if she was throwing away trash.

    The core of the wooden sword that fell on her lap flowed down her thigh and gently slid down to her pelvis, but the emotions contained in Lucia’s touch were anything but soft.

    “I have decided to raise you, and I have no intention of leaving that process to someone else.

    So if you say you need help, you can at least decide whether to help or not.

    But if you can’t tell me, then it’s none of my business at that point.

    So, are you going to waste my energy and time on your circumstances, which are none of my concern?

    Considering Lucia’s personality, which is usually authoritative but not coercive or rude to others, this meant that she was quite angry.

    “Sorry… Do you… … ”

    However, before Anne could finish her apology, Lucia turned around and strode away as if displeased. In the end, Anne ended up burying her head in her knees in confusion and hugging it tightly with both arms.

    Just because it’s me doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk about it.

    The desire to stop thinking about other things and focus on your own work is like a chimney.

    Actually, this wasn’t even the first time.

    I was so caught up in my own worries that I couldn’t even take care of the things I was supposed to do.

    However, I am so selfish that I can’t just pretend that this painful feeling never happened and that I don’t know.

    ‘I am… What should I do… … ?’

    Was it really this scary and lonely to not know what to do with yourself?

    The girl tried to ignore the tightness of her chest, but ended up being crushed by the pressure, and her head seemed unable to be raised.

    .

    .

    .

    It was from then.

    This endless nightmare lurks in my dreams.

    The headquarters of the magic-related faculties of St. Plancina Academy.

    As the name ‘magic’ suggests, it is something that someone can barely imagine.

    A place to research and learn about magic, the miraculous power that distorts and recreates reality.

    It all started in the women’s bathroom located in the corner of the first floor of Mado-dong.

    In Anne’s memory, a hot body and herself shivering at it came to mind.

    ‘Huh… Ugh… ah… Ugh… ‘

    At that time, I was so dizzy that I couldn’t even stand properly and was fortunate that I just stumbled and finally landed on the toilet.

    His body was obviously abused by someone, and he had to show his obscene behavior.

    It was as if I felt the same feeling of trembling and bugs crawling on my body that I had experienced at the hands of Serkov and his gang.

    He cowardly covered his face and couldn’t even see who was making fun of him.

    And as opposed to when Serkov was poking his private parts, he only felt the sensation of something sucking his lower body.

    So I was able to know.

    What was it that he was being raped by?

    “Err.. Hee… Hmm… !!

    Phew!! Hmph!! Ahhh!!”

    A pleasure that I have already felt once, but paradoxically, have never felt before.

    Being frightened by it and howling like a bitch that couldn’t deny the pleasure was the only memory he had left.

    ‘But if that was all it was, would I have felt better than I do now?’

    One of those unique memories.

    Memories of someone else, not your own.

    She is the fiancée of Edward, the teacher she adores, and has promised to become his eternal companion in the future.

    The memory of seeing Eloise in the same place was constantly tormenting me.

    At least something that was clearly not a human, but something that had a strange shape and could not be identified as an animal or a bug.

    The sight of her being frightened by ‘something’, probably the same type of person who violated her.

    In fact, the next day I ran into her, and she seemed to be going about her daily life calmly as if nothing had happened.

    So, even more so, a sense of disappointment and betrayal towards the one she trusted was welling up in Anne’s heart.

    ‘you… how… …

    you… … you… … !!’

    It was so treacherous to see her uttering cries of joy rather than screaming in pain or sobbing heartbreakingly.

    Holding tightly in those small hands something that cannot even be reached.

    While living as the ideal human being that someone so desperately hopes for and aspires to be,

    How could Héloïse betray him, and why was he crying happily beneath that beast-like creature?

    ‘Having Mr. Edward… …

    A teacher I can never reach… …

    We can be together for the rest of our lives… … ‘

    Negative imagination and leap.

    The end of ugly jealousy.

    Actually, I wasn’t fine.

    I wanted to say it right away.

    ‘you are… I don’t deserve to be by your side… … ‘

    The ugly side of a bitch named Heloise.

    The secret of the dirty prostitute who, as soon as she breaks up with her beloved fiancé after having a meal, immediately falls under a lowly beast on the other side, panting while offering her body no better than that of a rag.

    ‘… After speaking… … ?’

    But who can I tell?

    Your own friend? Was there anything worth calling a friend in the first place?

    There is no one to help you, so what kind of friend would you have if you were selling your body for a prize at a social event?

    Lucia? She was reluctant in another sense.

    In the end, she too was happy to hear the news of Héloïse’s defeat, and was just a lover who was trying to overtake Anne.

    So, what about Edward, the ultimate victim of this case?

    The person who was betrayed and the key person involved in this case.

    How will he feel when he hears this story?

    In the first place, he was jealous of Heloise, and he didn’t even have any proof.

    Would you believe me if I said something like that?

    Does he feel as betrayed by Héloïse as he does?

    perhaps… … Wouldn’t he be sad?

    Is it okay for me to make him sad?

    As the streams of consciousness continued one after another, Anne’s mind was becoming increasingly complex.

    It was the same when I stood in front of Edward the day before yesterday.

    “Oh, are you Anne? You’ve arrived at the right time.

    Heloise and I bought it on the street across from here.

    This was a lot tastier than I thought?”

    “Thank you… do… … ”

    I have to tell him the truth.

    “Anne. Last time I saw you, you were working hard?

    It looks very nice. Just do it like that.

    Sooner or later, I will score high on the swordsmanship test.

    Should I congratulate you in advance?”

    “Yes… … thank you… ”

    This man she loves is just being deceived without knowing anything.

    ‘talk… I have to… … ‘

    He said that Heloise betrayed him and did something that went beyond having an affair and went against the laws of heaven.

    It’s right to tell Edward, who completely trusts her, the truth that he must accept, even though it’s sad.

    But I couldn’t say a word because I was afraid of how his expression would change when I heard that.

    “Eloise too, you know the last time we met?

    It seems like you really like it.

    When did you ask your sister to have dinner with us again?

    Please tell this to your sister later.

    It was the Department of Magic Design, right? Did you say Marie?”

    When he thought of Heloise, he naturally smiled, but it was he who was left speechless.

    He is the type of person who is blinded by jealousy, justifying his own pettiness, and worrying about whether or not to say a word that could end a woman’s ‘life’.

    “Yes… I’ll go now…

    therefore… Because of practice… … !!”

    “Yes. Work hard, Anne!!

    Let’s go to Mars!!”

    In the end, without being able to say anything, he turned around and ran away, using training as an excuse, and was forced to hide in the bushes next to the training center and cry silently alone.

    Now I’m scared to even go to the academy bathroom.

    I am afraid that I will be attacked by ‘it’ again, that I will be unable to see or hear anything, and that my body will be manipulated at random.

    And I was afraid that I, who had somehow reached the climax by calling out Edward’s name, would eventually prove that I was a bitch just like Heloise.

    Even the feeling of diuresis was tolerable, and when I felt that there was nothing I could do, I would hide in the bushes in a corner.

    I had developed a conscious habit of urinating outdoors with the hem of my skirt in my mouth in a place where no one was watching.

    The sense of immorality that I am doing something I shouldn’t do runs through my body, and the pleasure of urinating after holding it in makes my body vibrate, but I just masturbate, thinking that at least I have a bigger reason not to go to the bathroom.

    It would be better if I had that kind of unscrupulous pleasure, because it filled my now torn heart just a little bit.

    In the end, the truth that could not be told to anyone only rotted away as filth in the center of one’s heart.

    She struggles with her sickening emotions and petty, painful pity.

    There was no one who could save Anne like that.

    ‘It would be better if I didn’t know… Was it okay… … ?’

    Would it have been better if I did this or that?

    She was wasting precious training time just immersed in delusions, and was still squatting down, hugging her knees.

    But just then.

    “Whoaaa… …

    Does your hand hurt a lot?”

    At the sigh coming from right next to her, Anne’s head slightly lifted when she heard the voice, and her purple, wet eyes glanced sideways.

    ‘The first person I see… … ‘

    Even though Anne had no friends, it did not mean she did not know the names or faces of the members of the swordsmanship department.

    She has neat dark blue hair and the simplicity and vitality of a country girl.

    But seeing her, who was clearly training with them, then stepped aside to rest for a while.

    ‘Sistine… … ‘

    I heard in passing that some of the Sistine Paladins were joining while I was swinging my sword.

    As the bards always sang, most things in Sistine were shrouded in secrets, so Anne was not at all uninterested in them.

    “Children grow up while being sick.

    However, treatment must be done on time.”

    Whether it’s dialect or not, the way he speaks gives off a subtle sense of discomfort.

    “Ah, the greeting was late.

    I was planning to formally say hello a little later.

    Roxanne Stronovame.

    As everyone knows, he came from the Sistine and is an ordained knight who serves God.

    Would you please take care of me?”

    Anne was startled and tried to pull her hand away when she suddenly grabbed her injured hand tightly as if asking for a handshake.

    But when he actually took his hand out of Roxanne’s hand, strangely enough, he couldn’t feel anything in his hand, which had been throbbing just a moment ago.

    “How are your hands?

    I can’t do anything as great as His Holiness…

    I can do this much!!”

    Anne was looking at Roxanne’s face, which was smiling brightly, and Anne’s hand, which was a little swollen just a moment ago but was now healthy for an instant.

    Could this be the Holy Knight of Sistine?

    “Ah… Anne… This is Anne de Monethan… …

    that… Thank you, Roxanne… !!”

    Was it something I was completely lost in?

    This was how her new meeting began as she began to introduce herself without even realizing it.

    “Don’t try to spend the remaining time well.

    But didn’t it become noisy?”

    And of course not only that, but another encounter as well.

    “Ah~ Get new recruits!!”
