After absorbing all of the curse, my hair turned completely white.

The black hair that was the symbol of the Howlan family, my only pride, was gone.

With Kirshen’s help, Latina and I were able to safely return to the academy.

Seeing her sleeping soundly, I thought it was a good thing.

This guy is the first person I saved.

I was happy about that fact, so I smoothed his hair a little. The sleeping Latina’s expression relaxed.

It’s enough to overcome this curse.

.

I couldn’t get over it.

An enormous amount of energy was required to maintain the cursed body. I ate and ate. Despite this, my body and mana were not maintained at all. Only then did I know.

How powerful is this curse?

What did I put into my body?

At the same time, I felt relieved.

I’m glad he didn’t get caught.

I’m glad I caught it instead.

“…Sir, I heard you got into a gang fight again.”

For some reason, I couldn’t even control my anger or impulses very well.

“Chairman Vivian said he was behind? Hi… honestly, she had a pretty face, but it’s a shame. I also gave money.”

” Wow, this bastard is now belittling the deceased, haha! To be honest, I looked really crazy, always smiling and walking around.”

“That’s why it’s disappointing. Even if that slut hadn’t died, I would…”

“Hey, hey!! Dyers next to me..”

Nobles do not use their fists. The student council must not cause gang fights. This is because the purpose of the student council is to protect the weak.

The people who harassed President Vivian in front of me were commoner students whom she personally saved from monsters while she was alive.

“…That person works every day for these scum.”

“Mi, I’m sorry, Dyers! That’s not what we meant to do…!”

“We also feel sad that the chairman has died! I did that because I felt bad. Please..!”

The flies that gnawed on the names of the dead rub my hands in front of me.

I bow down humbly and ask for forgiveness. These people were not the only ones. I thought all the students at Beatus liked Vivian.

It was only then that I realized that there were quite a few students who disliked her. They are all bastards who interpret the good deeds of wealthy people with malicious intent.

You ‘just’ didn’t like her always smiling?

I threw a punch.

“Ahh! It really hurts, please!”

It flew, and flew, and kept flying. I took great care to ensure that Vivian could no longer be cursed with that dirty tongue.

I used my family’s power to expel those who hit me from school. I didn’t have any shame.

Before I knew it, I had become the academy’s biggest problem child.

Some people called me crazy.

Latina tried to stop me somehow.

“Now, there is a level of looking after you, senior. Please stop. Why are you doing this? ”

“It’s not something you need to worry about. You just have to do your job well.”

“Are you sure you heard what I said?! senior! Senior Dyers!”

I deliberately didn’t talk about the bugs.

Because it was disgusting for a Latina to even know about that trash. The Latina hoped she didn’t know anything about those guys.

I wanted to see only the good things.

From then on, my relationship with Latina began to grow increasingly sour. Because from what I could see, my condition was not normal.

The curse of Seolgwi constantly eroded not only my body but also my spirit. The urge grew stronger day by day, and the pain in my body even affected my mind.

I researched to break the curse, but like my mother’s, it was not in a form that could be broken. This… was a truly ridiculous curse.

Latina grabbed my sleeve and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

“Where did the senior I respected… go?”

The senior she respected is no longer there.

“Stop talking nonsense and just do your work.”

There is just a fool obsessed with anger, impulse, and greed.

.

My body grew weaker day by day.

His body, which had already lost one of its kidneys, which was the wizard’s lifeline, became even more miserable as it was cursed.

“You mean Dyers… wasn’t it originally only at that level?”

“You said you tried the 13th floor several times, but it was nothing special? That level is common at this academy, right?”

“When I saw it before, I couldn’t even read a single magic circle properly. That’s because my skills were revealed. Phuheap!”

“Well, even in the student council, he always touched documents. Isn’t it because you’re weak to begin with?”

My eyesight was poor so I couldn’t see the magic circle properly.

Normally, the magic that could be used with eyes closed did not manifest properly. It was at a level where no mana was collected at all.

From around that time, I got a nickname.

Clueless Dyers.

Stupid Dyers.

Shame on the Howlan family.

A mutant of the Howlan family, a scum.

That didn’t matter to me.

I miss Chairman Vivian. I prepared for the 13th floor challenge again.

“Senior. You have to give up on that agenda now.”

“There is no giving up.”

“…Stop it now. Senior Dyers, you’re weak.. you’re the weakest out of all the people here.”

“……”

There was no way permission would be given to me as I was weakened. Driven by impulse, I manipulated the budget ledger to some extent and stole it.

“Senior…”

It was quickly discovered by Latina. I can see in her eyes that the lingering feelings I have left behind are gradually disappearing.

Foolishly, I didn’t know that fact at the time.

I lost trust in the student council.

.

Pain comes upon me every day. I trembled with fear and shouted as I looked at President Vivian’s photo.

Please save me.

Please don’t stay still and save me.

I felt that the situation was getting more and more serious. From that time on, I let go of all my duties as an executive officer.

In order to break this damn curse, I locked myself in a room and started studying the curse again. I couldn’t tell my father. I didn’t want to disappoint my father anymore.

Anyway, no matter who I go to, this curse will not be lifted. I have no choice but to solve it with my own hands.

Naturally, Latina took on most of the work. She doesn’t come to me anymore.

Foolishly.

At that time, I thought it was fortunate that Latina didn’t come.

“…I’m really going to die if I keep doing this.”

My health got so bad that I went to see a priest who was skilled in curses.

I received a similar answer to what I expected.

About a year…

There isn’t much left.

I stopped my research and came out of solitary confinement for the first time in a long time. The Latina looked at me with a cold gaze.

I was very happy to see my junior after a long time. Once again, I felt that my choice was right.

I absorbed the curse from him that day.

“What have you been doing?”

“Okay. A person who normally had no interest suddenly asked me, so… I have nothing to say.”

“Is there anything I can help with?”

“Yes, nothing major. If you’ve said everything you have to say, will you please leave? I’m busy.”

She maintained a cold demeanor. I tried to take a quick look at the documents she was organizing.

“…I told you to go quickly.”

She hid it. I knew it intuitively.

This is a document related to me.

Are you really… trying to kick me out?

I was so shocked that I suddenly stopped. As soon as I stopped, the pain came again.

This damn curse tormented me constantly. I came to my senses again.

It might actually be a good thing. It’s quicker and cleaner to hand over someone who’s going to die anyway.

It was accepted quickly.

I made one last request to the Latina who was hiding the document while watching me.

“Can I see you briefly today?”

.

I said hello to the other members of the student council in advance.

The expressions on their faces when they heard what I said were hilarious.

Latina came to the meeting place with an expressionless face.

I see the tower of monsters rising tall. On the Berdiya Mountains.

“…So what do you want to say?”

“It’s not that big of a deal.”

I shout to him with all my might.

When I look back, I realize what I never said to you.

I shout out words that I will never be able to say in the future.

“I like it.”

Just like President Vivian did to me.

“Senior.”

Latina’s brow furrowed.

It was an expression of disgust.

Instead of looking at a respected senior, it was like looking at a maggot.

It was an expression of sincere disgust for the person in front of him.

“I feel really bad, so don’t talk nonsense.”

“……”

I bowed my head.

“I don’t know what kind of confidence you have, but I am. I wish you would just disappear from this world.”

“……”

“…Don’t ever see me again. For the rest of my life.”

With those words, Latina turned her back on me.

I stared at the Latina’s back until she disappeared from my sight.

After a while, I found a good spot.

I wrote down what I wanted to say in my diary.

“…Huh. Wow.”

Even the rope wasn’t easy to lift.

I straightened up.

Just hold on to the rope little by little.

as it is.

“You passed the ordeal.”

“…here.”

“I told you so. You are a poor person.”

“……”

“Who knew I would make the exact same choice. This is why humans are so fun.”

“What did I do to pass?”

“Well, I made the same choice as you in the past. Suffered equally, equally.”

“I guess so..”

Count Adrian stroked my head.

“Didn’t it hurt? Why did you make the same choice?”

“…If I knew that, would I be suffering from this curse?”

Count Adrian chuckled as if it was fun.

“Do you have any regrets? In the end, I lost everything because of that junior?”

Regret it.

In my memory, ‘I’ have never once regretted absorbing the curse.

That’s the same for me too.

“Instead, didn’t that junior live? That’s enough.”
