Youth.

That was the most interesting word a boy read in a book he found in a garbage dump.

A time like spring, when green sprouts sprout, is the most valuable time in life.

A space called ‘school’ appeared in every story dealing with such a brilliant period, and the boy felt a growing longing for it from a corner of his heart.

Yes, if you go to the surface, let’s go to a place called school first.

Scholarships are offered if grades are guaranteed, so if you study hard, you will be able to lead a stable life alone.

‘hehehe, I hope I can make many friends.’

Her journey to the academy started with the pure purpose of making friends with her.

At the end of the day, the boy who succeeded in getting the top rank in the entrance exam waited for the happy days of youth that he hadn’t experienced in the underground…….

“Shut up, petty commoner!”

… Not.

It was a cold treatment that I had never experienced even underground.

“Where do you dare to set foot here? I didn’t apply to this school to breathe in the same space as you, an insignificant fellow!”

Classes exist in earthly society, and these classes sometimes become hostile toward someone for no reason.

It took me quite a while to come to terms with that realization.

That’s because in the basement where he lived, there were no clearly defined rules, let alone ranks.

“If your rank is low, shouldn’t you talk to me?”

Of course, it’s the same as not understanding it even if you accept it.

If he had lived in a normal society, he would have adapted to such a system, but unfortunately, the boy always questioned ‘why?’

So if there is something you don’t know, ask.

Such ignorant behavior would always embarrass those who threatened him.

“What, what?”

“Well, according to the school rules, all students are equal?”

In fact, Maris is an extraterritorial territory that does not violate the laws of any country.

All students are treated equally as the class system according to their place of origin is not maintained, so the boy’s question was reasonable.

Unless there is a good reason on the other side.

“Ha! Not even noticed.”

“Notice?”

“Yes, low level guys like you should just bow their heads to people higher than you!”

“But the school rules… ….”

“You can’t understand what this stupid guy is talking about. Live your whole life being so stupid!!”

Aristocrats leave, complaining of frustration to a boy who doesn’t understand.

The boy still had doubts about their insistence, but apart from that, he knew one thing for sure.

“Is that the boy?”

But apart from that, he knew one thing for sure.

Apart from the concept of class, at some point, you were recognized as a ‘dangerous existence’ by them.

“That’s right, the kid who broke the window.”

“He broke a window that couldn’t be broken even with killing magic.”

“It’s a monster.”

Yes, whatever it is, once you put it under it, it won’t threaten you.

The system, often called the law of the jungle, was one of the most common concepts in the boy’s hometown.

“I just want to be friendly with everyone.”

But regardless of that, it’s a very sad situation for the boy who came to school dreaming of youth.

I felt disappointed in my classmates who didn’t understand my feelings, but the boy nevertheless tried as hard as he could.

It’s hard, but not everyone was like that.

‘Good job. My first disciple.’

Although it’s only a one-time meeting, it’s still…….

The favor he received at that moment remained in the boy’s memory even at this moment, and was approaching as the strength to endure adversity.

‘…Let’s work hard.’

The ring with the red cross pattern still worn on the finger even after the meeting that day.

Only that was the boy’s only support in the arduous school life.

***

And then, a month had passed since I was out of her arms.

[Maris Academy Middle School 1st year 1st semester, midterm (written) ranking]

1St place – Dale & Burton (100 points)

2Nd Place – Beans Jugret (97 points)

3Rd – Sylvia Esprit (82 points)

The moment he saw the scoreboard hanging on the school board, the boy couldn’t stand his swelling heart and screamed at the top of his voice.

‘I did it!! I did it!!’

It was a cry that came out of pure joy.

Even though it’s just a written test, not a practical skill.

This alone proved that passing the entrance exam at the top was not just a fluke.

But the happiest thing is that I got the chance to go see my teacher again.

‘With this, I can go thank the teacher!’

It would be rude to visit just because it’s difficult, but if you’ve achieved results like now, it would be okay to visit.

She was able to make it this far because of her, if it was to convey her gratitude to him.

‘Teacher! I’m here! It’s Dale!’

So the boy ran toward the nurse’s office wearing the ring she had given her, and she opened the door wide, ready to step inside her.

To face my master who will still be there.

-Jurruk.

However, the boy who set foot there faced an ominous liquid filling the floor of the health room…

‘Huh?’

An exclamation escaped my mouth.

At that moment, the air that flowed into the open mouth began to spread the fishy smell all over the mouth.

It’s a disgusting smell.

I even felt that he was going crazy, but even so, the boy couldn’t take his eyes off the scene that was unfolding in front of him.

‘Teacher, Nim…… ?’

A haggard-looking woman wearing a white gown.

Yes, sitting alone in her room was definitely her own gift.

What was flowing on the floor was clearly from her body.

‘Teacher, you are injured… ….’

‘It’s okay.’

Nevertheless, she does not complain of pain.

Even though her complexion isn’t good and she’s sweating coldly, she still has a smile on her face staring at her.

‘It’s okay, Dale. There is no problem.’

‘Teacher, why… ….’

From noble mtl dot com

‘Stay calm there.’

That’s the end of the conversation.

Then she quietly raised herself up, turned her back on herself, and began to walk to the other side of her.

Into the deep darkness that exists beyond the health room.

Innumerable weapons were stabbed in the back, which was slowly being hidden from him.

Fragments like broken glass.

‘No.’

The moment when the blood gushing out of it became even thicker.

The boy felt his heart sink.

What happened?

Why is she trying to get out of here with a body like that?

‘Don’t go, sir… …. Teacher!’

Rational judgment was impossible.

If you just leave it as it is, something irreversible might happen.

At that thought, she reflexively stepped down, but even that sank to the bottom as soon as she stepped on the pooled liquid on the floor.

‘Teacher, teacher, teacher!!! Please……’

The moment the floor filled with blood gradually turns into a mire.

Even while he was sinking, the boy did not feel any threat to himself.

Just at this moment, I cry out anxiously to those who leave into the darkness.

‘Please don’t go, Mr. Seine!!!!’

A scene where only screams echo.

Even though the desperation was overshadowed, in the end everything the boy could see was buried in darkness and disappeared.

And…….

***

-Kudangtang!!

A wide field of view with a roar.

When she came to her senses, what caught Dale’s eyes as she had fallen off the bed was the familiar ceiling and her own lower body hanging over the bed.

A hard feeling in the back of the head, and a tingling pain.

“…… Eh?”

Dale, clutching his throbbing head, took a careful look around to figure out the situation.

When I woke up, what caught my eye was the inside of a familiar room. It was an old lodging where I stayed for a month after coming to the academy.

I was able to realize it just by looking around there.

“Dream…… ?”

Yes, it was a dream.

That is also a very terrible nightmare.

-Tits!

The moment you realize it, you hear the chirping of birds.

After straightening his clothes, Dale’s eyes followed the sound and began to slowly move towards the window.

The warm sunlight shining through the windows of the old inn.

Otherwise, there were sparrows chirping on the branches of trees that grew up to the windows.

-Tits.

– Tweet! Chirp!

A feast of small birds chirping in harmony with each other.

Dale, who listened to their cries, involuntarily spit out a thought that came to his drowsy mind.

“Is it because there are a lot of tweets…?”

-Tits!

The male sparrow, riding on top of the female, roared vigorously.
