Chapter Index

    “Tuto… What?”

    “What are you saying, you bastard? Fairy?”

    The last car, full of stale water and sweat.

    Inside, the gloomy, suffocating atmosphere was broken by a young man who came in without warning.

    It has to be that way,

    The young man introduced himself with the absurd word ‘fairy’ rather than an executioner or training instructor.

    Perhaps because of this, there was an uproar in the hall even though he was being taken to a punishment unit and his life was fleeting.

    “It’s cold and I’m going to rummage around, but there are so many different things.”

    The person who stood up was a tough-looking man with no ears.

    “What are you, you idiot? Why did you get so sick and fall asleep?”

    The man chuckled, frowned, and trudged towards the young man. There was no one to stop him.

    The knights who were preventing the prisoners from doing anything stupid looked at the situation blankly, and the prisoners kneeling on the ground also got out of the way, excited to see what would happen.

    “Didn’t you hear? Let me say it again. I am called the fairy of tutorials.”

    The young man, who was faced with a dispute, spoke calmly. Is this really a type of nobility? Perhaps because he is a person with blue blood, he said some very inhumane lines.

    “If you understand, please take a seat without making a fuss. Because I have a lot to explain to you from now on.”

    “Fairy? What the hell?”

    Ha ha, the man clutching his stomach turned towards the sitting prisoners.

    “You guys, did you hear what this guy said? It’s a fairy.”

    “What is a fairy?”

    “…refers to the devil, or a magical being living in a secret place untouched by humans.”

    “Why do you know this so well? Did you at least eat some ink?”

    “Makyung: Niemi, don’t you know that it’s all propaganda and lies? Are you saying that the empire played a prank on neighboring countries?”

    “Shh, so does that kid look like a fairy in your eyes?”

    “That can’t be possible. He is a human being with nothing special.”

    For a moment, a mumbling sound was heard from the floor, and then a young man dressed in black spoke with strength in his voice.

    “I would have told you to sit down.”

    However, he didn’t seem angry. Didn’t you hear the murmur? Maybe they are ignoring it on purpose. It means that it doesn’t matter to him what the trash says.

    “…Tsk, not fun.”

    When Janssen, a man who had no interest in hearing that dull response, frowned and turned his back.

    “Giggle, kick.”

    A mocking laugh was heard. Inside the dark car, wide smiling mouths were showing their yellow teeth.

    “If you were going to listen carefully, why did you wake up?”

    “You idiot, what’s not fun is that it’s not fun.”

    “In the end, I’m pretending to be strong while not being able to do anything.”

    “Wow, isn’t that embarrassing? If it were me, I would have punched him.”

    There was a series of boos that made me feel hot inside, and unlike when I returned to my original seat, no one moved their butts out of the way to make way for me.

    Jansen was embarrassed by this, but tried not to lose his composure.

    “Get out of the way.”

    “Get out of the way, what do you get out of the way? A coward gives orders arrogantly.”

    The skinny, one-eyed man said sarcastically.

    “If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll step on you.”

    Jansen cooled his heated head and stretched out his feet on One-Eyed’s lap.

    Kwaduk-

    “Quaaah!”

    Jansen fell to the floor, clutching his ankle. And then, he shot a hateful look towards One-Eye.

    “You son of a bitch!”

    “You should have looked at it carefully and stretched out your feet. Even though his two eyeballs are intact, he’s not very careful.”

    Anyone could see that it was One-Eye who had smashed Jansen’s ankle, but One-Eye was oblivious and sent a mocking look at Jansen.

    The young man who introduced himself as a fairy also watched the scene until the end.

    “There, one eye.”

    “Yes? Do you mean me?”

    One-Eyed pointed at me and shifted his gaze from Jansen. Siron nodded and motioned to him.

    “Get out of your seat.”

    “Giggle. Yay, I understand.”

    One-Eye trembled and stretched out his foot forward. Just like in Jansen’s time, the prisoners created the passage. One-Eyed walked confidently, enjoying the pouring gaze.

    “Why did you call me?”

    “Name me.”

    “My first name is Chen and I have no last name. But why are you doing that?”

    “Because you will be subject to special management in the future.”

    “…Subject to special management?”

    “Yes.”

    The young man took out a notebook and fountain pen from his arms and began to write something down.

    “Now go and sit down.”

    …is this the end?

    One-eyed Chen felt a profound sense that nothing was happening. If it had been guards or knights, they would not have sat idly by and watched the commotion that had just occurred… The young man in front of them did not take any action.

    No, action was taken.

    Subject to special management.

    The questionable action of Chen’s name being posted there.

    “Can I ask you just one question?”

    “What is it?”

    “Well… leave that friend who argued with the fairy alone. Why are you designating me as the target?”

    Instead of being rude, Chen protested with sincerity. The young man shifted his gaze from Chen and stared at Jansen, who was groaning on the floor.

    “It’s because I broke the ankle of a comrade who will be entrusted with my back from now on.”

    “…”

    “If you listened, now go and sit down. There was a lot of delay.”

    The young man took out a pocket watch from his pocket and frowned.

    Chen also frowned.

    He was angry that he was treated the same as Jansen. The fact that he is subject to special management is not important to him. I thought I would at least get a slap in the face, but I never thought I would be treated in such a boring way.

    “Is there anything else you want to say? Why didn’t you sit down?”

    “More than that, I have a favor to ask.”

    “Please? Let me tell you.”

    “Please slap me on the cheek.”

    Chen patted his cheek and sneered. If you go back to your seat without being able to do anything like this, you will become a coward, no different from Jansen, who is holding your ankles and whining like a little girl.

    However, if you resist further, you will be stopped by the knights who are watching the situation from behind, or if you make a mistake, you will lose your life.

    Since that was not what he wanted, Chen chose to imprint himself in another way.

    ‘Even if I die soon, I have to save face compared to the mentally ill.’

    “You cannot control your strength. Let’s go back to our seats.”

    “It’s okay. Please hit me quickly. Don’t we need to take the initiative against rough guys?”

    Chen stretched out his senses and figured out the level of the person who called himself a fairy. Just like someone muttered a moment ago, I didn’t see anything special.

    ‘Power control? ‘I’m just bluffing for no reason.’

    Chen heated up his Danjeon, wrapped it around himself as a self-defense device, and stared at the palm flying towards his cheek. The speed was pretty good, but Chen was able to watch the scene slowly because he was from Silea.

    It was a crude attack that contained no mana, let alone power. Something like that couldn’t even inflict a single wound on Chen, who was wearing self-defense gear…

    Kwasik!

    Chen’s head was torn off and hit the wall. One wall of the car turned red, and the body, which had lost its senses, tilted and fell down.

    “Now that everyone is seated, I will begin the explanation.”

    “…”

    “I will not drive you to die in vain.”

    The young man didn’t even pay attention to the cold corpse on the floor.

    “People are pointing fingers that this unit will just be used as a meat shield to block demonic beasts, but I don’t see it that way.”

    The young man who spoke powerfully approached Jansen, who did not whine even though he was clutching his ankle. Every time the young man stretched out his feet, the prisoners made a path as if the tide was ebbing, and Jansen swallowed his saliva with a stiff expression on his face.

    And then a surprising phenomenon occurred.

    Wow-

    I thought he was going to rip off my entire ankle, but a warm light burst out from the young man’s outstretched hand.

    “The merciful Lord told me to save those who have ruined their lives due to a moment of mistake.”

    “…”

    The broken ankle was healed in the blink of an eye. It was an art that only high-ranking priests could perform, which was difficult for ordinary people to even witness.

    Janssen, the person receiving treatment, looked at the scene with a bewildered expression.

    However, this time there was no swearing or anything. His cloudy eyes began to clear like their original blue eyes.

    “What is your name?”

    “It’s called Janssen…”

    “How did it end up in a place like this?”

    “…killed someone.”

    “Is that really all it is? I don’t think so.”

    It was a meaningful statement, but somehow Jansen seemed to know what it meant. He felt a surge of emotion and opened his mouth trembling.

    “Lord, the person who killed him was a bastard. I raped and killed my daughter who wasn’t even able to go to school yet.”

    “Do you understand that feeling? There had to be a different way.”

    As the young man expressed his regret, Jansen eventually burst into tears.

    “The person who raped my daughter was a high-ranking master from the region where I lived. Not even the lord, nor the village chief, listened to my voice!”

    “It’s a pity.”

    The young man took out a handkerchief and wiped Jansen’s tears.

    “But it’s okay. I will take away all your sins. The Lord will also allow it.”

    The young man said that and stood up tall.

    “Sinful karma can be covered with good karma. This means that even if you are destined for hell, you can go to heaven if you do good deeds.”

    […That’s not true.]

    Latera could not agree with Siron’s majestic words. The essence of the soul of the person named Jansen was relatively clean, but half of the souls in this place were incorrigible, like someone whose head had just exploded.

    But what was important was not the souls of the beggars, but the soul of Siron. Latera confirmed that Siron’s sins were being reduced little by little.

    “So follow my words carefully.”

    Siron ignored Latera’s words and strengthened his voice.

    “So follow my words carefully. Then you can live and return to a warm home.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “Can a death row inmate live?”

    “Yes, I swear.”

    For a moment, I felt happy at the shout coming from the corner, and then the train slowed down and a strong beat sounded.

    “Then, everyone please stand up.”

    After confirming that everyone was standing up, Siron headed outside without hesitation.

    A bitterly cold land filled with darkness.

    Numerous lights flickered in front of me.
