“If you hear it, you might laugh at it and say it’s trivial.”

“I’ll listen first and think about it.”

As far as I know, this scenario… .

“I was so sick of the people here that I wished they would all disappear. “That’s why I got angry and did this.”

“Why are you so sick of me?”

“Because you make things difficult for me.”

“People are giving you a hard time? how?”

“It’s all because of that bastard.”

“Bad son?”

The hand he was holding was shaking, as if he had a lot of resentment towards the bad boy.

“Actually, I was friends with him.”

Then, the boy relaxed and spoke.

“We were really close… .”

It is said that he had a fight with his friend over something so trivial that he couldn’t even remember it now.

“I didn’t know she was that kind of kid. I thought I would be able to fight and smile again soon. But he became strange. “He changed his face in an instant and started bullying me along with the other kids.”

It is said that he protested not to do it, but was only laughed at.

It seems that the problem of bullying still existed even after reincarnation.

Is it a problem to have so many energetic students gathered in one space called the academy?

It is said that he was a child of a family that did not dare to say anything, and in the end, he had no choice but to suffer helplessly.

“At least I was much stronger than him, so I did my best to ignore him. Then, he seemed to be high on drugs and started messing with my house. “That’s a foul, right?”

It was as if the children’s fight had become an adult fight.

“I went to see him and asked him to tell me why he was doing this to me. “What did I do wrong to end up like this?”

“So what?”

“They said I hurt their pride. Then I realized. That he feels inferior to me. There’s nothing I can do about it, right? “I was really disappointed.”

“Oh my.”

But it seems that wasn’t all that that bad bastard did.

“He told me to wait and see. He said he would torment me more in the future. “If anything bad happened to my parents, they said it was all my fault.”

In addition to your inferiority complex, you even had padded lips?

“I couldn’t stand it. “It felt like something was going to burst out of my chest.”

“Umm… .”

That’s how it went into a runaway state.

Although it was rare for a child to be unable to control his emotions and use his abilities at random, it was something that could happen.

The problem was that the child who ran away had too much power.

“I suddenly lost my memory. That’s not an excuse, that’s really it. “When I came to my senses, the academy looked like this, and that bastard had turned into an ice statue.”

The boy’s shoulders slump.

“I ended up not being able to control my anger and killed her.”

“… … .”

“Am I going to jail now?”

This world is not Korea, and since he cursed while mentioning a family member who had been abused, it is completely understandable that he went crazy after hearing that.

Moreover, didn’t his skills basically get better because of me?

“Do I have to live in prison for the rest of my life? Hey, you’re not going to be executed, are you? Oh, my mom and dad should be safe… .”

The boy’s hands were shaking.

Accidents caused by the inability to handle emotions in the moment.

When I came to, my classmate in front of me had turned into an ice statue, and there was no way I could maintain my sanity.

‘Am I so mentally driven that I can’t even check if I’m dead or alive?’

Maybe that’s why I was giving up.

Aren’t you mature enough to take responsibility for an accidental accident?

In an overwhelming situation, the easiest way would have been to avoid the problem.

“Well, that’s fine. “I don’t think it will go that far.”

“Don’t easily say it’s someone else’s business! They’re all dead! “I killed them all!”

“Are you sure you really killed them all?”

“what?”

“Have you properly checked whether he is dead or alive?”

No matter how rampant it is, I don’t think it will be strong enough to kill everyone inside the academy.

Anyone who can do that level of work should be at the level of our children.

“It’s all natural. “My entire body was made of ice from head to toe.”

Although he was intrigued by my words, the boy refuted as if he still wanted to turn away from reality.

“Because it was a sudden incident, my vision must have been narrowed due to shock. And the body of an awakened person is much stronger than you thought. You can endure that harshly polluted area, but you can’t endure the cold? “Are you that talented?”

“!!”

The boy seemed unsure whether to be angry at me for talking down to him, or to be happy when I told him that he couldn’t have killed someone because he lacked ability.

“Of course, if you keep going like this and freeze them, they will all die. But is that really what you want?”

“!!!”

It’s still possible to turn back.

When I emphasized that, the boy’s eyes wavered.

“… “I can’t believe it.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself. “Let’s go check it out together.”

“What happens if no one dies?”

“You will be punished, but you will be punished for less than half of the scary things you think.”

It would be pretty terrible for me, but it wouldn’t be a big deal for that kid who gave up on life.

‘For example, extending the period of enlistment or other types of punishment.’

Fortunately, the boy accepted my offer.

There is still a chance to turn back.

It was natural because the person who wanted it most was not me, but the boy.

“The temperature is rising!”

“Can’t we go in now?”

“It’s still cold, but I think I can handle this.”

“Let’s go in!”

The temperature, which had been steadily falling, rose for the first time.

The cold that had frozen the Academy is slowly fading away.

The security forces who were watching the situation from outside quickly prepared to enter.

Fire attribute awakeners who had worked hard to contact each other were at the forefront and moved to raise the temperature, giving them breathing room.

“Oh, I guess I’ll survive. “I came this far earlier, but at that time, I thought I was going to die.”

The teacher joked, perhaps trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and shook his head and said that he was not a Fire attribute awakener.

“No, I don’t think it’s thanks to us that you’re alive now.”

“yes?”

“The temperature is rising faster than expected. Look over there. Isn’t the ice melting little by little? “There is no way our abilities can reach that far.”

“ah!”

“It appears that the cause that made the Academy like this has been resolved.”

“no way… .”

“Do you have any guesses?”

“There was one person who went into the academy earlier.”

“I guess he solved it.”

“As expected, they said it was sent by Princess Mona… .”

When the word princess came out, the eyes of the fire attribute awakener widened.

“Princess Mona?”

“Yes, I guess because you are currently attending the academy. Fortunately, you were at the museum and escaped the disaster.”

“It almost got into real trouble.”

What if Princess Mona was inside the academy?

Even though I just made an assumption, my heart sinks.

“Ugh.”

“Wow.”

“It must have become something I couldn’t handle.”

Starting with the dean, there was no telling how many people’s heads would have been blown off.

There was no way the royal family and nobles would send their children to a place where their safety could not be guaranteed.

‘They will interfere with the operation of the academy under the pretext of their children’s safety.’

It’s not that it hasn’t been subject to interference from nobles, but at least it’s an academy that hasn’t been swayed by them.

However, if this matter is not resolved properly, it could give them an excuse to intervene.

“Student found! “It’s alive!”

and.

Shortly after they entered, a student was found collapsed.

Fortunately, the student, whose entire body was frozen, had a pulse, and the security team quickly transported him outside and administered first aid.

“I don’t think it’s as serious as I thought.”

“Iknow, right. “We’ll have to look into it further, but it doesn’t seem to be life-threatening.”

The expressions of the teacher and the security guard brighten.

If there are no casualties, it becomes much easier to resolve the matter.

I think I was so frightened by the temperature that had dropped to a brutal level and the cold that penetrated my bones.

“Ugh… .”

It was hard to figure out how to rescue this large number of students, but fortunately, as time passed, people came to their senses and came to their senses.

Apparently, the teachers were the first to put me in order.

“What kind of fuss is this?”

After gathering themselves, they immediately jumped into the rescue operation.

While those with fire properties gathered together to warm the bodies of the rescued students, the surrounding temperature was quickly returning to normal levels.

“I don’t know what it is, but it seems like the problem has been solved, right?”

“The problem is that we need to find out who carried out this terrorist attack.”

The teachers were relieved that although there were injured children, there were no casualties.

However, even while the guards were conducting rescue operations, they did not stop thinking about finding who had made the academy like this.

“I need to find that man… .”

“Shall I go look for it?”

“No, this is the entrance, so just wait and you will come out.”

And just as the security guard said, soon a man wearing winter gear was coming out the entrance with someone.

“Isn’t that him over there?”

“The outfit is so flashy that it’s hard not to notice.”

The man looked at the rescued students at the entrance and approached the security captain.

“You were rescuing students.”

“yes.”

The guard’s eyes turned to the man’s back.

This was because he was standing next to the man with a guilty look on his face.

How many times do you think you’ve met people with faces like that while working in security?

I couldn’t help but notice.

The man spoke to the security guard as if he had been waiting.

“This friend is the culprit of this incident.”

He was a boy who seemed too innocent to be a terrorist who committed such a terrible act.

“The culprit…is this?”

“yes. There was no battle, and this incident was an accident. “You know about the runaway, right?”

“ah!”

The security guard touched his forehead as if he was troubled by the word “runaway.”
