episode_0126

A boy came to the cafeteria and looked for Aru. He seemed quite dissatisfied with Aru’s sparring style yesterday.

The man wanted to spar. Aru didn’t want to respond, probably because it was annoying, but I stepped forward and started a fight between the two.

Even so, I wonder if he would agree to a fight, as he would probably be at a disadvantage whether he wins or loses if he is recorded in his life record, but he is still a feisty 20-year-old. At that age, it’s normal to want to fight all the time.

However, contrary to my intentions, the fight did not actually occur. This is because when Aru opened the sword before pulling out the sword, the third-year student, who could not withstand the sword, fell to the ground.

My saliva is flowing. It’s not my spit, it’s the spit of a passed out third grader. It’s ugly.

Well, but it is also something that cannot be helped. Now, Aru’s growth has surpassed its limit. Unlike his previous life, his personality remains intact, but his power is not much different.

No matter how strong that student is, the difference between him and the absolute strongest is heaven and earth. Unless an absolute power like Merlin or Cheonwoong steps forward, there is nothing that can stop Aru now.

Still, I can’t help but feel regretful. I wanted to create an uproar, like a bloody incident that occurred in the cafeteria of a peaceful academy.

Kwaang-!

The front door of the cafeteria burst open. Several groups hurriedly enter the cafeteria. And soon, he recognizes the person lying inside and is shocked.

The reactions of the students watching were not much different. They cover their mouths, doubt their eyes, and distrust the given reality.

I really like reactions like that. Making fun of foolish and ugly people is the most fun thing in the world.

Mary, the merciful saint, runs forward. Maria quickly approached the side of the fainting third-year student and poured pure white divine power into his body.

Blood color is restored to normal, and torn capillaries are reconnected. Although divine power cannot touch the mental part, it can heal the damaged body almost omnipotently.

Meanwhile, the grown-up humans who had opened the door and came in surrounded the fallen third grader. The students are buzzing.

“Wow… ! Cheon, senior Cheonwoong is coming in person… !”

“But… The fight is already over?”

The ‘big humans’ consisted of several teachers and one student. What caught my eye the most were the narrow-eyed teacher who gave me suspicious looks and the dazzling blonde beauty.

“Student, student! Come to your senses!”

“Am I one step late? But why is Pianque… ?”

The bright aura emanating from the beauty illuminates the surroundings. The once colorful space turns golden.

The narrow-eyed teacher and the beautiful woman knelt down on either side of the fainting third-year student and examined his condition. Then he recognized Saint Mary right next to him and greeted her formally.

“Senior Cheonwoong… !”

“To the noble and great daughter of the Lord, the humble one sends greetings.”

Lowly? No, don’t talk nonsense.

If you’re going to judge human value simply by the standard of ‘amazing,’ then no human being can stand above you. No matter how humble you are, you are not unaware of this fact in your heart.

Cheonung (天雄) Shine Stella.

He was once my light, my antithesis, my obsession, my life, and was responsible for my 13 years.

‘The brightest light’ Shine Stella.

“Stella! long time no see! How have you been?”

Oops, out of habit, I raised my hand and said hello brightly. There is no way Stella in this episode knows me.

I have no bad feelings towards Stella. Although I have some regrets, the fact remains that she was the first person to create a sense of purpose in my life.

“Freshman? Do you know me?”

I quickly took my hand back and tried to play it off, but I couldn’t escape Stella’s sharp gaze. Stella turned her head towards me.

Even the hair fluttering from that simple movement seems like gold dust. He is truly a brilliant human being.

“No, how would I know you?”

“But why are you saying hello…? ?”

“I guess I lost my mind for a moment. Why, there are times like that, right? When you suddenly feel happy and want to say hello to someone!”

Stella shook her head and withdrew her attention from me. There was a feeling of ‘pity’ in her eyes as she stared at me at the last moment. I guess he’s mistaken in thinking that I’m sick.

“Teachers, Stella and I will take Pianc to the health room. Everyone, please clean up the cafeteria here.”

The narrow-eyed teacher spoke to the other teachers. Obviously, it wasn’t a proper fight, but the excited kids were pushing the table around and the place was a mess, so it needed to be cleaned up. The floor too… Some coward urinated on it and it became so dirty that it was frowned upon.

“… wait a minute. Before I go, let me ask you one question.”

The squinted teacher held his third grader’s head and upper body, and Stella held the third grader’s lower body. You could just get up and leave right away, but Stella paused for a moment and looked back at us.

“Who are you? This is what made Pianque like this.”

The students’ attention was all focused on the girl. The girl was eating with her face down on the plate as if she had no thoughts, but when she suddenly felt eyes on her, she looked up with her mouth full of white soup.

“Woof?”

“You? You really made Pianque like this?”

“I didn’t do it! You didn’t hit me! I tried to hit him, but he fell down on his own!”

“Stella student! Let’s go!”

“Yes… All right. I’ll ask you the full story later. Hey, what is your name?”

“Me? Aru!”

“Aru… .”

Stella looks at Aru next to me with her brilliant golden eyes. The third-year student being transported seems to have something to do with Stella. I never thought that by becoming involved with Stella like this, she would become interested in Aru.

I didn’t expect this. But, now that I think about it, I think this could be fun in its own way.

In my past life, the person who gave me joy next to Saint Mary was Stella. I think it will come out as an interesting picture.

Ssuk seu-.

I put my hand on Aru’s forehead and gently stroked it. Aru smiled and purred.

*****

Eden Academy. Health room.

The health room, which had been crowded with patients the day before by a wolf beastman, was just now adding new patients. A boy shouted at a student being carried on a stretcher.

“Tongue, bro!? brother! Bro!!”

The screams of Pianca, the younger sister of the person being carried in, are released sharply. Stella quickly laid Pianque down on the bed in the health room. There was a tent pitched around the bed, so there was no need to worry about the conversation leaking out.

There was nothing physically wrong with Pianque. It’s just that the consciousness that was locked away has not yet been regained.

Pyank showed no signs of waking up. The health teacher who checked his condition also told him to remain stable for now as he would regain consciousness after some time. Stella visited the students who witnessed the incident.

The answers I could hear were all the same.

Yesterday, during the class assignment sparring, Su-in, the dog who had made all of his opponents dead, got into an argument with Piank, a third-year student who kicked in the door in a state of anger, and after the confrontation, the two ended up sparring in the cafeteria.

However, for some reason, Pianque, standing in front of the dog beast, trembled and fell to the ground. With foam at the mouth. That was the whole story of the incident.

‘Could it be that the speed of exit was so fast that freshmen could not detect it? First of all, it’s clear that I’ve reached a level that’s not typical of a first year student. It was a legitimate duel that took place because the third year proposed first, so it wasn’t a mistake… . It would be a different story if some kind of vicious tactic had been used.’

After gathering the students’ information, Stella returned to Pianque. Meanwhile, Pianque barely came to his senses.

Although, it could not be said that his ‘spirit’ was sane.

“Ugh… ugh… .”

“Pianque, look at me.”

A large man is lying facing the wall with his body curled up like a bear in hibernation. It was an appearance that anyone would criticize as being truly pathetic.

“It’s just me and Stella, Panthera’s captain, here now. Pianque. Turn around.”

“Off… ? Note, claim… ?”

The mere word ‘Stella’ seemed to have brought about a change in his state of mind, as Pianque barely managed to move his body. Stella’s golden eyes reflected a face stained with fear, fear, and haggardness.

“Claim… ! Oh, you have to run away! There’s a monster at the academy… !!”

“Piank, calm down for now.”

“Assertion! How can you calm down!? There’s an evil spirit hiding in this academy right now! No, I’m not hiding. That monster is eating among the students very proudly… ! Everyone, we need to bring in the Imperial Guard immediately! The Holy Knights of the Church!”

“Phew… Pianque.”

No new information could be obtained from Pianque, who spoke incoherently. It’s just that he’s very scared… All I can tell is that I am in the same condition as many of the other students seen in this health room.

It couldn’t go on like this, Stella decided. Stella suddenly stuck her head out in front of Pianque’s shaking pupils.

“… !”

“Pianque, look at me.”

“Claim… ?”

“The monster or demon you think of. Do you think you’re stronger than me? Are you saying that even though I, Shine Stella, are right in front of you, I have to be afraid?”

Stella asks a sharp question. As if he had found something trustworthy in the two eyes that were staring at him clearly, Pianque’s trembling gradually stopped.

“Well, that’s not it… No matter how strong the monster is, no one can win the argument… .”

“Then that’s it. If that monster wants to cause an accident, I can stop it. Now, tell me. Pianque, what happened with that new prisoner?”

Like other emotions, calmness is contagious. Right now, Fianc was slowly regaining his composure, infected by Stella’s calmness.

It was also because I trusted her more than anyone else. As far as Pianque knows, Cheonwoong is the strongest being. If the monster he had seen had endless strength, then Cheonung Stella had strength that could not even be approached.

“With that guy… ? Ugh… therefore… .”

“You can speak slowly.”

“I took out the baton and aimed it at him… When he stood facing me… It was then. Suddenly his shape becomes distorted!!”

Pyank shouts, covering his face with his hands. It seemed like he had not yet reached complete composure.

“The shape is distorted? Can you tell me in detail?”

“It’s literally like that! membrane… A black and reddish energy came out of the demon’s body… ! Soared high into the sky! The whole world became dark, as if immersed in extreme darkness! I couldn’t even breathe comfortably anymore!”

“Black and red energy… ?”

“Yes! It’s so ominous, so dark and damp that it’s hard to breathe! It felt like my neck was caught in a noose! As if submerged in water! My eyes are getting sore… ! The heartbeat also becomes irregular… ! If that’s not a demon, what could it be?”

“Pianque, take my energy for a moment.”

“Spirit of argument? Why is that suddenly… Oooh!”

Kwaaaa-.

Suddenly, a sound similar to the one released by the beast girl a moment ago erupted from Stella’s body. An energy so thick and heavy that I can’t handle it.

Everything turned black and the air pressure seemed to have changed. As if I were underwater, my freedom of breathing became less clear.

When he was hit again by a deadly weapon that could not be aimed at his body, Fianc was once again overcome with fear and eventually fainted. Stella immediately survived, but Pianque had already fainted.

“This… Teacher, please watch Pianque again.”

“Stella?”

“For a moment… Because I have a place to visit.”

Jeopuk-.

Stella calmly walked out of the health room. Her mind was a little busy.

‘He’s just a freshman and he’s got the skills to make Pianque faint with just his life… ‘I guess I’ll have to talk to you sometime.’

Stella was quietly shocked in her heart and went to find the prisoner girl.

******

“Huhuhu.”

The roof of Eden Academy is triangular. A place where an average person would lose his balance and slip even if he climbed on top of it.

However, a man with eyes as thin as blades was lying comfortably on top of that roof. Support the back of your neck with both hands. He enjoys the bright light of the sun shining directly on him.

Satan enjoyed sunbathing. I remember the conversation in the health room that I heard through the window a little while ago.

“True… I can’t believe things are going so smoothly. After all, humans are naive. But at the same time, it’s fun to be clever sometimes.”

A flowing, natural smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth.

“Lucifer is using me and a former Stella student. It must be unfair to the Stella student who doesn’t know the circumstances… What should I do? If I come forward myself, I might attract the attention of Evans students.”

Satan brings the bottle of alcohol in his hand to his mouth. Thin liquid flows gurgling.

“By the way, Pyank students are also very simple. As soon as I put some anger in my head, I immediately run away. I have a lot of things to teach in the future, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to hold the bar again.”

The Demon of Wrath muttered quietly.
