‘Is it called [Faded Spiral] because they think I lost all my power and went into hiding after defeating Hilde in a forbidden way?’

If even Maya doubts it, it can be said that most people think it is true.

Whoever spread it, it was a timely and absurd rumor.

A student who lost his etheric state and disappeared as a result of using forbidden power.

It must have been a provocative story in this world where ether is an object of worship.

“… ”

uh.

‘… I think this could be useful.’

My heart started pounding.

I couldn’t run away from the scene where the 3rd graders were involved. Rather than lurking around worrying about being caught, it might be better to follow around as a [Faded Spiral].

Guide the three juniors to [The Fate of the Three Heroes] according to the flow of the main story. And we follow as much as possible the path toward the [Fate of the Three Heroes] that can protect the Academy City we love.

The fate has already been twisted, but the twisted part is secretly resolved through force.

“… !”

I had an epiphany that felt like a lightning bolt in my head.

If the road was curved, instead of holding on to it and dragging it, you had to tap it to avoid it.

Worst executive? Late event?

How many late-stage power level advanced trial characters are gathered in the story right now? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

I looked at Eir, Belle, and the hundreds of students gathered together. Although they were not here, there would also be a group of investigators from .

‘If it’s a rumor that spread anyway, let’s drive a wedge and make it true.’

With three people, you can even create a tiger that doesn’t exist.

A tiger made by me, Bell, and Eir.

The tiger’s name is [Faded Spiral].

I quickly modified my settings.

‘From now on, I am [Faded Spiral], a comedian with a story.’

A new character of destiny that combines the tendencies of two people, Clara and me.

The future course of action has been decided as follows: “Even if you go anywhere, you can just go to Seoul.”

When the main story progresses, the results are shared well with the juniors. And when an abnormal phenomenon occurs, I try to follow the progress of the story as best as possible by secretly rescuing the person.

As I start thinking positively, things that I hadn’t thought of come to mind.

‘It’s a main story event in the second half, so the rewards will be great.’

In particular, when solving the erosion dungeon, how much experience did you get the first time?

okay.

decision.

I made my decision while looking at Eir and Belle who were looking at me.

‘If we say it’s just a rumor now, Eir will just go on a rampage.’

The concept starts from the moment you decide.

okay.

Ready.

Action.

I said with a bitter face and clenched my fists.

“… Are you satisfied now? To ramble on about a girl’s painful past like that―♪ Eir has become very cruel, too.”

“… ”

“… Although I don’t have the same strength now☆, I have gained precious things―☆”

“… What?”

“I… I discovered things that are much brighter than fighting☆”

Eir was about to shout something for a moment, but then he pushed the bell and came forward.

“You… Are you serious? ”

“Kyaaa?!”

As soon as she is released, Belle hurries to join Arbit. And Eir, who walked right in front of me, put his eyes in front of his nose, looking as if he was going to eat me.

A magenta-colored ether that feels like a flame approaches to measure the distance. However, the force was only stronger than before and was not as delicate.

‘Haven’t Eir seen the moment of no polarity yet?’

I brushed away all the ‘gaps’ that were constantly hitting my skin.

“… ”

“… ”

Will I get caught?

If I go on a rampage, how will I handle it?

Even in those thoughts, Eir’s eyes looked as if they were going to eat me.

What you see beyond your eyes.

Magenta light and flame-like shape.

In the past, looking at those eyes made my blood boil, but now they just looked like ordinary eyes.

Behind us, facing each other, we can hear the worried voices of our juniors.

“… Senior!”

“Senior… !”

“Senior comrade… !”

Let’s listen to that voice.

Many worries disappear beyond distant memories.

I am here to protect and lead those children.

“… ”

“… ”

What did Eir see in my eyes?

“Weakened, but… It’s not trash.”

“… ”

“But I don’t like it.”

“… ”

“… I don’t want to see it. If you don’t want to get involved, get out. We will burn everything to resolve the erosion of the dungeon gate and advance straight to the center.”

Whisper-

Carrying a knife like the spine of an animal on his shoulder.

Numerous students follow her as she turns around.

“… ”

For some reason, Eir’s back looked lonely.

＊

A street of flickering flames.

Hundreds of students slowly move away.

Albit was dizzy from the information that passed by in an instant. Clara approached Arbit with a bitter smile.

“Sorry―☆ It’s not a past I really want to know… ”

“… Senior.”

“Ugh… ! I’m sorry… Say whatever you want.”

Belle apologized to Clara, but Clara smiled bitterly and said it was okay.

Albit looked at Clara quietly.

How could it be that such a foolish senior had a past like that? It was even so brilliant that it rivaled the ‘Five Colors’, currently the strongest in Academy City.

But now it looks like… As the name suggests, the light has faded…

‘no… ‘

Arbit shook off the rude thoughts that had passed through his head for a moment. They did not intend to do anything to Clara, who devoted herself to them.

“… ”

Albit suddenly remembered the moment he first met Clara.

Overturned by a bucket, unable to control his body, staggering around. And I always come out early in the morning and train compulsively by riding my bike.

As if he wanted to regain something he had lost.

Albit trembled for a moment.

Clara was always building up what she had lost.

“… !”

The day we first met.

At that time, Clara asked with a very embarrassed expression.

-me… Actually, I don’t know how to handle basic ether… Please tell me-☆

actually.

Clara’s etheric swordsmanship was crude and clumsy.

It was as if he had held a sword for the first time in his life.

-A strange skill that doesn’t even use a weapon… And the endless ether… There is no way there is no price. Tsk…

-A legend that burned down all etheric realms and faded away… ! Who knew the rumors about [Faded Spiral] were true!

But for Clara, who fell from the brightest place and lost everything. It was as if they were efforts filled with determination to start from scratch.

-I was just at school☆ Even non-union schools didn’t accept me…

From that miserable past, how did he feel to rise to the top and then fall again? And how did Clara feel when she told herself to have a happy school life?

Himself.

What kind of expression did he make when he saw it?

-You’re incompetent, senior.

Throbbing-

It felt like I was being stabbed in a corner of my chest.

Albit lowered his head in his heart due to the overwhelming guilt.

‘I’m sorry, Senpai… I’m sorry for laughing at you… ‘

“… ”

“… ”

Clara and Belle go ahead.

All three juniors follow them.

I could only remain silent as I got a glimpse into one person’s painful secret.

Belle spoke with difficulty in that heavy atmosphere.

“In this atmosphere… that… I’m sorry for suddenly saying this. Anyway, first we have to find the investigators who clashed with the guys… ”

-Bell clerk——! Run away!

“… Heh?”

Bell heard a call coming from afar, and looked blankly at the source of the sound. Among the collapsing ruins, there was a student with a bow in his hand, his eyes sparkling.

Upright

She, with dark skin, pricked her big elf ears and shouted loudly in a righteous tone.

-Ahahaha! Secretary Bell also couldn’t get past the people’s troubles and left the garrison! Yes! We are all just !

yo. this…

yo. this…

yo. this…

A shout so loud that it echoed.

Belle’s complexion turned white when she heard that sound.

“Sigrun, this crazy bitch… !”

Hundreds of people from Scarlet Academy, who had been slowly advancing from a distance, suddenly stopped. Head turning slowly. There was a distorted madness in their eyes.

-… ?

-… Bell clerk?

– Investigation Team…

Sigrun, who saw them turning around, shouted in a loud voice while aiming his bow.

“Justice never yields!! Please release the investigators of quickly!! I cannot forgive you for your actions in destroying the order of Academy City and destroying the citizens’ residences!!”

Belle looked at that and cried out in a voice that made her feel like she was going to faint.

“Failed—!”

-… Catch that little boy and that little bastard.

-Yes boss!! Hahaha!!

-It’s a devil hunt!!

Eir’s low voice rang out as he moved forward. At the same time, hundreds of students turned around and ran.

Doo doo doo!

“Aaaagh—!!!”

Belle screamed as she saw this and ran forward.

“Senior! I think I should run away!”

Albit was taken aback by the sudden change in the situation and turned around to take care of Clara. There, Clara was still smiling brightly.

“Ahaha☆ I’m ruined―♪”

“… ”

As if it was okay.

With that smile that seems to be comforting.

Albit felt comfortable and guilty at the same time. So I held Clara’s hand tightly.

Clara said with a mischievous smile.

“Huh? what’s the matter? You look scary, Albit-♪”

“I will definitely protect you… !”

“… ”

And Lotta and Kara, who followed behind, also stayed by Clara’s side and winked.

“Senior, you must not fall from the side!”

“Don’t worry, senior comrade… !”

In it.

Clara was smiling somewhat bitterly.
