17 – Agony (1)

Three more days passed after that.

After defeating a group of gremlocks, I briefly collapsed from mana exhaustion.

Black Thorn doesn’t use that much mana, though. It seems that he became angry that he continued to connect with other shadows in order to forcibly increase the range.

Now, at some point, it has been almost two months since I fell into this world.

I was lying on a bed in the medical room.

Honestly, my body was all better, but no matter how much I said it was okay, the kids wouldn’t listen.

In the first place, there was not a single scratch on the body.

I just fainted from dizziness from using too much mana at once.

‘Ha. This isn’t the time…’

But fortunately, it seemed that the instructors came running right after he collapsed and managed to deal with the situation well.

The exam ended in a hurry.

After that, Professor Bergen called us apart.

I bowed my head and apologized for the lack of response to the unexpected situation.

I was a little bewildered by his serious appearance.

It was a natural thing to do considering that it could have been life threatening in the worst case.

And…

“Rye. Are you really okay?”

Are you aware that I was overdoing it when I showed myself collapsing? The members of Team 2 as well as the members of Team 29 started taking care of me.

“..If you feel uncomfortable or feel something strange at any time, tell me. I was taught to repay kindness.”

I don’t know if it’s Elena, but I couldn’t stand it when even Yoon Mi-rae looked at me with such warm eyes.

“No, guys.”

When I opened my mouth, Morhan and I were peeling apples on a precarious little chair.

Bell, who had been touching my body saying he would make me armor, looked at me all at once.

‘… Belle, you’re really touching it to make armor, right?’

There’s something unusual about your hand movements… It looks like you’re drooling a little…

I opened my mouth as nonchalantly as possible.

“I just collapsed because I used too much mana for a while. It’s okay to leave the hospital now…”

“No Lai! The teacher said that mana exhaustion can permanently affect the mana circuit.”

.. I was immediately cut by Elena.

“Right. Just think of it as a little holiday and lie down comfortably. Don’t act like a child.”

On top of that, Mi-rae Yoon’s secondary shooting is added.

‘… Acting like a child.’

“And Morhan was more injured than me in the first place. Does it make sense to stay in the hospital longer than the kid who was crushed by the rubble?”

“That is…”

The eyes of the children all turned to Morhan.

I was slicing an apple with a knife that felt smaller because it was held in my huge hand.

I smiled awkwardly when the eyes suddenly came to me.

.. In the meantime, the apple looks like a rabbit.

“… Morhan is Morhan.”

“Yeah… Isn’t it?”

“Guys. I will feel sad not knowing..”

Still, I did my best to fight and even got crushed by stones.

Morhan smiled approvingly and handed me a plate of apples.

‘You’re so kind… I’ll take care of you and lead you to the end.’

While I was chewing on the apple, Mirae Yoon got up and prepared to go out.

“Anyway, get some rest. We’ll come back after school.”

After lunch break, the medical room becomes quiet in an instant.

Currently, I am the only one in the medical room.

… I thought back to the situation at the time.

I knew that King Gram Rock was being eroded by the intervention of ‘Dimension’.

So, as a countermeasure, I thought I would prepare a deadly street light to finish it easily…

It was a mistake.

If you think about it, it was a problem that could be known with a little thought that Morhan, the source of light, could be the greatest threat to King Gram Lock.

…I was complacent.

To think that it’s over with only one move prepared.

My complacency brought about a crisis.

..What if Team 29 arrived late and the Wizard wasn’t casting in advance?

What if I’m too late to connect the shadows and Elena is fatally wounded?

“…”

It’s terrible.

Attack on monsters and villains that had been read through text was helpless in front of variables in actual combat.

Please refer to the original work. If you blindly believe in it and neglect preparation, you don’t know what will happen in the future.

Unless you don’t know the exact time of an event that will happen right now…

– Dripping.

The silence was broken and the door to the medical room opened.

Black hair with a hint of blue, tied in two ponytails, and big cat-like eyes.

Kirna enters while holding her lightly by one arm.

“…”

Our eyes met.

“…Is your arm okay?”

“Uh…. Huh. Thanks to. You?”

After that incident, the sharp tone like a tsundere has almost disappeared.

“It’s me… I think everything is better, but they won’t let me go home.”

“It’s because I couldn’t see the kids’ expressions after you collapsed. Wasn’t there a lot of tragedy? Yoon Mirae That year…”

With a grin, Kirna is about to talk about her current situation.

– Dripping.

“Hey Kirna, are you here? You came to cleanse her arm, right?”

The medical instructor came in.

She is a human woman with dark brown straight hair who looks to be in her early thirties.

Miyeon Lee. She is quite popular with her personality like a normal elementary school nurse’s office teacher.

She was always called the medical instructor, so I didn’t know her name, but during her three-day hospital stay, we got to know her quite well.

“Ah. Yes. May I ask you a favor?”

“Sure. She’s a body that gets paid for it. Now, take off the bandage.”

Sureuk-

Kirna removed the bandage on her right arm, leaving a small scar on her.

A black aura emanating from her wounds.

“It will sting a little.”

– Chiiik.

Instructor Lee Mi-yeon sprayed a slightly shining liquid on her wound.

At the same time as the smoke, the black energy disappeared.

“Keuh..!”

The figure grimacing and enduring pain.

If it was a simple wound or fracture, I would have healed it with healing magic.

Kirna wounded by King Gram Lock’s attack

Because her wounds were eroded by the dark attribute energy, she had to be cleansed like that for a while.

‘Write…’

Neither Kir nor her arm would have been hurt if she had gone according to plan..

..Well, it’s not like I hurt you, so let’s not be too pessimistic.

It’s a bit cumbersome, but it’s not a big wound.

After Kirna’s arm was treated like that. Instructor Lee Mi-yeon immediately went outside, saying that she had a second-year Dalian schedule.

Then, after seeing Kirna about to leave, the moment she lay down on her bed again.

“… Hey.”

She got out of bed again and sat down.

“Why?”

“That… you know…”

..? What?

“What is it? Feel free to tell me.”

“Big.. Not a big deal. That… Selina that b*tch is a bit strange these days.”

“Is Selina?”

I also thought it was a little strange.

If it were Selina, as soon as she heard that I was hospitalized, she would calmly come and visit me.

‘What did you do again this time?’

He must have sent a questionable expression.

Three days have passed since I was hospitalized, but he hasn’t come to me even once.

“That… Just like that! It doesn’t matter at all, but I’ve been sticking with you all along! Anyway, I’m going!”

“Okay. Thanks Kirna.”

Kirna blushed and she quickly ran out of her infirmary.

‘Looks like a cute guy.’

Is that a tsundere you don’t hate?

It’s cuter in real life.

I want to lift that little body high and give you a ride on the plane right away.

Of course, if you actually did that, blood magic might stick in your chest.

“Selina is…”

Why would Selina be weird?

… The first appearance of Selina I know.

In the ensuing school raid episode, she stood in the way of Villain Reconciliation Seong Jin-ha and his party.

‘No way…’

Are you already in the process of becoming a villain? Are you going to destroy the whole school while smiling strangely?

“… It’s a big deal.”

If this is indeed the case, it must be stopped urgently.

What comes to mind is Selina, who always talked to me first.

Even though I showed a little difficulty with Selina at the beginning, thinking I was the mid-boss.

Selina always approached me first.

… I was ashamed.

Courtesy of a girl who is only now going into adulthood.

To believe in the original work, which is mere text, is inconvenient.

If it had been two months since I had fallen into this world, I could understand it all the more painfully.

This world is not a character in a novel.

It’s a world where real people live.

Because you know the future, acting like you know everything about that person

That’s the most stupid thing ever.

…There must have been a story that even Selina couldn’t tell.

“Let’s visit you right after you are discharged.”

..

..

That’s how it became after school.

A member of Team 2 came and made another fuss, but as the sun went down, they went back.

Neneto has come.

“Really.. How long will you be here?”

“I want to leave soon too..”

“I was the only one in the room, so it wasn’t usually boring. And every morning Bella…”

For a while, Neneto grumbled about this and that, and when it was time for dinner, he returned to his dormitory.

“Go in carefully. Don’t worry, I’ll be discharged soon.”

“Yes. Come out quickly ah. And…”

Neneto opened his mouth with a meaningful expression.

“Five minutes after I leave. Open the door to the medical room.”

“? Why is the door suddenly open?”

“Have you ever lost money by listening to me? Keep quiet and do as your brother tells you.”

Although I feel uneasy because he suddenly said something strange.

As Neneto said, there was nothing to lose, so he nodded.

“Yes. Girls are delicate, so handle them with care.”

At the same time, Neneto closed the door and left the medical room.

“…I don’t understand English.”

I looked at my watch.

One minute…

Three minutes..

– Click.

Exactly five minutes passed.

“Suddenly, a strange sound…”

Let’s open the door to the medical room muttering in a low voice.

There, with a surprised expression.

There was Selina looking up at me.

————————————————————————- ————————-

I was anxious.

A person who was her older brother who suddenly broke into the middle of the exam.

The man wearing the suspicious robe was not the incompetent loser he used to be.

Overwhelming power that overpowered the party in an instant.

A relaxed face and absolute faith in something.

Religion close to a fanatic who laughed and praised like crazy.

Selina quietly relived her memories of that day.

Strength.

Grace.

‘He’.

And…

-Because I’ll see you again soon. I’ll be praying that my thoughts won’t change even then.

Until the man’s meaningful words at the end.

‘I’ll see you again..?’

What the hell is that man?

What is this mysterious organization doing?

Ignorance.

Selena herself was ignorant, as the man proudly spat out.

Not even by force.

Information is also lacking.

The feeling of helplessness that comes from not being able to do anything.

I wanted to tell anyone.

Families are not allowed.

Those humans are blinded by their own interests.

On the contrary, they were the ones who were fascinated by strength and helped the organization.

Academy?

Of course, the academy was conducting its own investigation into outside intervention.

But everyone passed out in an instant, and I was the only one who knew the exact situation.

Her immediate supervisor told her that her older brother had joined a suspicious organization.

I don’t know what kind of organization it is or how much power it has.

Something is about to happen…?

… It doesn’t help at all.

Even though they disowned it, it is a family affair.

Rather, I might be suspected.

Even if you believe in a story that even elementary school students can tell

I don’t think he’ll take action right away.

On the contrary, it will only delay time due to a useless war of nerves between the family and the academy.

Then the only thing left…

The person who always comes to mind when I close my eyes.

Rye.

If it’s that man.

Will you do something for me?

… Selina shook her head.

“Stupid b*tch.”

Weak and selfish.

To that person, I was just a classmate who had only been dating for a month.

Just because you have a special meaning to him doesn’t mean you want the other person to do the same.

It is terribly selfish and delusional.

In addition, due to the tricks of the person who was his family

He is hospitalized.

He didn’t do it himself, but he didn’t look at him.

Today is the third day since he was hospitalized.

Two teams who lived and died with him always came to visit him during lunchtime and after school.

From noble mtl dot com

Unlike myself, who was helpless even after the cave collapsed.

They fought.

To protect each other and get hurt.

We built a deep sense of solidarity with each other.

‘…That’s lethal.’

I also wanted to fight alongside him.

I wanted to fight with him and get hurt for him.

I wanted him to remain as something more precious than a friend.

It’s not fair.

The world is unfair.

It was a fact that I knew all too well.

It was always the losers who were being compared, not Selina, who were the targets of that unfairness.

The cruel unfairness of the world.

Unaccustomed avoidance of responsibility.

I felt more resentful today.

-…That’s why……. hahahaha!

The sound of laughter leaks out of the door of the medical room.

The sound of him talking to his roommate, Neneto.

What can you do now?

I just grabbed onto my stuffy chest like this.

All I did was hang around in front of the medical room late at night every day.

Drreuk.

-…Give!

Hearing the door open, Selina quickly hid herself.

…What is this doing?

I don’t even know myself.

A small beast came out. Neneto walked out into the other hallway.

While he was stretching and going outside. She suddenly opened her mouth.

“Turn off~~~ I’m tired.”

I’m surprised.

She thought she had been caught for a moment.

A moment of relief.

“… Knocking on the door?”

Poof.

When she turned her head, Neneto was already gone.

… I knew.

“…”

Selina’s face turns red for no reason.

And the sound that lingers in my ears.

-Knock on the door?

… Selina stood at the door.

‘Can I knock on the door..?’

If you knock on the door, you can see ‘him’.

Just once, just close your eyes and knock on the door..!

‘…No way.’

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have the courage.

If she had known this, she pretended not to know anything and she was coming to visit her on the first day.

What if I told you why you came now?

What should we talk about? Is your body okay?

Hurt her own family?

“…Sigh.”

I can’t do it.

I have to go back today..

That moment.

– Dripping.

The door to the health room suddenly opened.

– Huung.

The wind coming through the slightly open window.

The curtains fluttered and the moonlight softly illuminated the inside of the medical room.

He looks a bit sick and has lost his vitality.

But soon he greets me with a smile.

He was there.
