49 – Regret (1)

“······Student Lian Kindred… Is currently blind.”

A low word from the principal who said it was inevitable.

Everyone in the place froze.

The most important of the five human senses is vision, which enables us to see ahead.

That’s what Lian lacked.

“Is that… Really?”

“·······Lian.”

“Mom? Mom!”

“The Countess!”

Earl Kindred was stupidly asking back, as if begging me to say it wasn’t true.

The Countess was on the verge of collapse from the shock that her son had lost her eyesight.

The condition of the rest of the staff was also not good.

“······Lian…?”

Adele was shaking her hands at the fact that she couldn’t believe what she had heard.

“The reason why junior couldn’t avoid magic…”

Tinia nodded her head as if she realized then, but she soon realized that she was meaningless and dropped her head.

“······I did it. I put a spell on him.”

Philip seemed distraught at the thought that he had made Lian that way.

“····.”

And Stella.

I was looking at them with a quiet and nonchalant gaze.

“I… Don’t understand.”

It was then that Tinia’s tightly closed mouth opened.

She is not without shock either.

Rather, if she had been shocked by the fact that the junior she had just been working on a project with was actually blind, she would have been more shocked, but definitely not less.

But this question had to be cleared.

“If you knew junior Ryan’s condition… Why did you let him participate in this task?”

This was the part Tinia didn’t understand.

She knows that her junior has lost her eyesight, but why did she let her participate in this open class assignment?

Isn’t it right for a normal person to exclude people who have lost their eyesight?

But why? Why did she have to participate in the task while her juniors were invisible.

Tinia didn’t understand.

“Why does my junior participate in the task…”

“······That’s my fault, Miss Tinia.”

“····.”

“I… I was too arrogant.”

Saying that, Principal Lapis’ expression was stained with regret and despair.

As if to blame herself for her own arrogance.

When Lapis was planning this open class.

It wasn’t that I didn’t think of Lian Kindred, a student who lost her eyesight.

Part of her mind had the idea that she should be left out of course.

But Lapis didn’t.

Because Lapis believed in her own skills more than anyone else.

Because she is the Great Mage of the Empire’s few non-existent 6 Circles, she believed in herself more than anyone else.

She was mistaken that her illusion magic used for illusion monsters was also the magic she used, and that if she was watching her test herself, nothing would happen to her.

It was an illusion.

That too is a huge misunderstanding full of arrogance.

That’s how the assignment began.

The task seemed to be going smoothly.

There were many twists and turns, but the other groups also successfully defeated the monsters, and Rian’s group, the 10th group, was on the verge of defeating the monsters without any problems.

So she caught her guard for a moment.

Contrary to the worries she had in front of her, in the form of 10 groups who succeed in the task. She was caught off guard.

And then the incident happened.

The incident happened while Lapis was not paying attention for a moment.

Philip’s wind magic, which had problems with aiming, had a twisted path to its target, the monster.

Of course, the blind Lian Kindred couldn’t escape the magic.

That situation continued until here.

A situation where one of her students might be in danger of dying because of her.

Because of her carelessness. A situation that drove a student to death.

If Lian Kindred died like this.

It was she who killed her rian, as well as me.

“To the point of being incompetent without doing anything… What the hell is a 6th circle mage…”

“····.”

“Because of me, Lian’s student…”

Like I wasn’t angry with Philip Edgar earlier.

This time too, Tinia Eilander couldn’t get angry with Principal Lapis.

Are you still the principal? Are you still a 6th circle vs mage?

Is this the best academy in the empire where students should be the safest?

I wanted to make her junior pay for the crime of making her do that.

“Because of me…”

The appearance of Principal Lapis, who sincerely regrets what happened due to her own arrogance.

Seeing the circle 6 mage praised by everyone shedding tears of regret.

I couldn’t bear to get angry.

That ruined Tinia’s mood even more.

“······Senior disqualified.”

She felt resentful of herself for not being able to do anything by her side while her juniors were under her magic.

It wasn’t like she didn’t have a share in this case either.

She should have had her say.

She shouldn’t be angry with Philip Edgar why she didn’t tell her, she should have yelled at her juniors to get away from her.

If you’re a junior, of course you’d avoid that level. I shouldn’t have thought and handed it over, but I should have shouted to avoid it until her throat was torn.

Even though she didn’t know the condition of her junior.

“······I should have screamed.”

I think this happened because I couldn’t do what I could.

Tears welled up.

“Lee…An…”

Adele Listonia couldn’t believe the situation.

The fact that Ryan, who had tried to push her away two days ago, is now lying on her bed.

That she had lost her eyesight.

She couldn’t believe it, she asked, trying to control her trembling voice.

“Since… When did Lian’s condition become like that?”

“After the incident in the forest…”

To the principal’s sad reply that Rihanna had lost her eyesight ever since that day in the woods.

“······Woo-wook.”

“Listonia students!”

I had nausea.

I heard the cry of her health teacher who was surprised to see her gag.

She couldn’t reach Adele, who was full of loathing of her self.

‘Why didn’t I notice?’

She didn’t even notice the condition of her loved one, because she was disgusted with herself.

She should have noticed her.

She should have been suspicious when Rihanna said she was suddenly carrying her wand.

She must have suspected Rihanna as to why she was acting more awkward than usual.

She shouldn’t have questioned her for taking her chronic disease, she should have known Rian’s condition first.

She’s scared of her fool by her Rihanna who pushes her away by telling her to break up her engagement.

She is terrified at the thought that she will never see her again like she did in the past.

From noble mtl dot com

She didn’t even do what she was supposed to do.

“Because of me.”

That was so resentful.

I don’t think this would have happened if she had questioned Rian’s condition.

If only she had noticed her Rihanna’s condition and informed others of this. I don’t think this would have happened.

Even if it wasn’t because of her. She thinks this happened because of her.

Adelistonia said she resented herself in the past.

When Rian’s mentor, childhood friend, and principal are all writhing in regret, thinking that they didn’t do what they were supposed to do.

“Count Calista!”

“······Cheuk.”

“Because of you… Because of you my son…”

Count Calista grabbed Philip by the collar.

“Dad! Wake up!”

“Count! What are you doing!”

The count’s daughter, Lyanna Kindred, and Professor Javert, who managed to keep themselves sane, tried to stop him.

“If this guy hadn’t cast that spell…”

“····.”

He was unheard of by Count Kindred, who was full of thoughts that he might have lost his son.

“Philip Edgar! What are you doing without getting out!”

Professor Javert was right.

If it was the usual Philip, he would have been able to easily subdue Count Kindred, who was not using a single spell.

The image wasn’t good, but it’s not like Philip’s class was set to 1 class for nothing.

“I… I… To him…”

“Edgar…”

But the current Philip was not the usual Philip.

Because he clearly remembered Lian Kindred, who was struck by his own magic and fell bleeding.

He couldn’t apologize to Rian, who hadn’t even apologized properly yet, but he felt guilty that he had made it like that with his own hands.

Surrounded by such guilt, he couldn’t shake off the hand of Lian’s father, Count Calista.

If only he had used magic properly. That this wouldn’t have happened.

Thinking it was the punishment he deserved, he couldn’t shake off Count Kindred’s hand, who began to strangle him.

Let Philip give up resisting. Count Kindred strangled Philip as if he were going to kill him.

“······ Kuk.”

With a scream, Philip’s face was gradually turning blue.

“Dad! Please stop!”

Riana screamed in tears, thinking that Philip might really die if he stayed like this any longer.

“Count! Stop now!”

It was when Professor Javert tried to subdue Count Kindred by force, as if he couldn’t stand it any longer.

“······Stop it, Count.”

Stella, who had been watching them without saying anything until now.

“Do you think the Count deserves it?”

What I said to the Count in a chilly voice.

“Really. Do you deserve it?”

Stella’s sweet voice was colder than anything in the world.
