The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 74. Fireworks…..

-Quaga River!

In a space that is still collapsing.

At the end, when I reached the point where I could no longer climb on my own two feet, I had a confrontation with the girl who had been chasing me.

Now, his legs are staggering as if even moving is too much for him…

The girl who still focused her eyes on my hand.

“…Yes, it must have been the same at first.”

The reason why I’m still right now is probably to recharge my strength.

To spread the last resistance, at least with the rapidly dissipating residual energy.

That figure was pitiful to me.

“We humans must have been just like you.”

I was born into this world without knowing anything, I followed my parents’ words, followed my teacher’s words, and eventually became an adult, assimilated into the people around me and followed the leader’s words…

Even if death awaits at the end, I take it for granted.

Because everything around him says it’s right.

Even if you peek into the future that the end is miserable, you will not hesitate to commit reckless things because you believe that being faithful to it is everything.

“Do you know why? Why is the human you want to sacrifice even his life for something other than himself?”

“…I don’t know, something like that.”

“No, I’m sure you know.”

People cannot go against the environment, and the environment humans perceive is the environment created by others, not by themselves.

It is the same with the family and the social group, the country.

The bond created by the people gathered in such a place to promote their own safety.

The rules created to protect them are regarded as truth by humans who were born without being able to go against the environment.

“But if that goes on for a long time, you’ll have no choice but to realize it eventually.”

Having taught him that fact, I quietly stretched his hand holding the power core to the floor.

Then he said as he used mana to loosen the bandage on his arm.

“The result of just accepting that I couldn’t help it is that everything I’ve done so far is wrong.”

“Wrong, didn’t work…”

“No, that’s wrong. Taking over a fight you didn’t even start in the first place.”

A fight for dominance.

Fight to protect…

Even if they had a reason for that beginning, it will inevitably not reach those who inherited it.

Nevertheless, they had to follow through.

Even if those who first appeared on the battlefield withdrew, the ground they cultivated did not disappear.

It was thought that we could only survive if we depended on the rules they established.

“…Because I now realize that if I just kept following it, it was wrong.”

But at some point, the moment comes when you realize it.

The moment you realize that the number of those who died following it is greater than those who are still alive.

“A person is…”

How can unrelated people have to inherit resentment for the past?

Why do we have to pour out hatred on those who have no one to know, who know that they are suffering from the same situation as us?

“Because now I’ve realized that a being with an ego is a being that doesn’t need to wield a weapon against its will.”

-Pazu, that is, that is.

A nucleus tied to the end of a bandage that eventually came loose.

It wasn’t until that moment that the girl doll came to her senses, and her gaze turned to the hand hanging below me.

“What are you going to do…”

Yes, at this moment, the core is tied to the bandages I have undone.

In itself, a bandage shaped like a catapult to drastically increase throwing power.

“Even in an era where everyone realizes that, if you really have to fight, the reason must be your own will at least.”

“Stop, no…!”

“Deus Ex Machina!!”

Calling out the girl’s name while putting strength into those bandages.

And then ask.

“Are you… Are you really fighting with your will?”

No reply.

With him, the strength of his two legs is temporarily released.

I was able to understand it just by engraving it in my eyes.

That this girl, too, did not follow such a mission because she wanted to.

A child who was simply created for someone’s needs and presented to the world without knowing anything about it.

The way he stubbornly followed him even as he headed towards his own ruin was like the boy who knelt before me.

I just follow it because I believe it’s right…….

“…If not, just watch from there. The moment you are finally freed from a mission you don’t want!!”

The fate of such a girl.

I will free you from this moment.

For that earnest wish, an oath that will not be broken even after this moment passes.

“Wait.”

A time when no one has to inherit hatred anymore.

“No, stop…”

Every single person living in this world affirms their own existence.

Moreover, in the community created by such people, I long for a world where equal opportunities are given to everyone.

-Kuwang!!!

The nucleus attached to the catapult that received momentum from that power was thrown.

The projectiles, amplified by the centrifugal force, pierced the ceiling and flew over the top of the tower, drawing a trail of light.

The nuclear that became unstable from that collision will explode soon.

The source of power for a weapon with combat capability enough to destroy even a few troops.

“Ah…”

The power he possessed would not be small, but at least there would be no damage done to the city.

An attack thrown using full power by applying a circle to a catapult, not even with bare hands.

The height of the projectiles can reach hundreds of meters.

“Oh no…”

The body of the girl who realized the height of the sky eventually sank to the roof.

-Quaaa!!!

A violent explosion can be seen through the crack in the ceiling.

The aftermath eventually collapsed the final balance of the wreckage of the space where I was standing, and it reached the bottom.

The moment when all the complex parts that made up the clock tower collapsed.

The only place to escape from such a collapse was the floor, barely remaining from the ceiling collapsed by the previous throw.

Although the interior is elaborately constructed and collapses one after another if one is broken, the building itself is made sturdy to accommodate such a vast number of parts.

It won’t collapse all the way down to the extent that the ceiling collapsed.

“Ah, ah… Ah…”

At the time I climbed up the ceiling, the girl doll that had fallen there before me started staring at the sky helplessly.

Even the setting sun has almost set, and the sky has turned purple.

For a very short time, a strong explosion occurred there, brightening the surroundings, but in the end, the traces disappeared without a trace, only pushing out the surrounding air.

The energy itself that makes up the nucleus was so intense that everything, including fragments, evaporated.

An ironic situation in which the aftermath was reduced due to the extremely powerful power.

“…Is this the end?”

The girl just looked up at the empty sky.

With all of his strength drained and his body hanging limp, as if he couldn’t believe the current reality.

“Yes.”

I said as I let her tired body sit next to such a girl.

I could move more if I wanted to move, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t without fatigue.

In the first place, Deus Ex Machina was created as a weapon of destruction.

If I continued the head-to-head fight without pulling out the core, I might have lost, whether it was a battle of destructive power or endurance.

“I can’t fight anymore, I’m…”

That’s why I felt guilty for making the results like now.

No matter how much I tried to free this girl from the curse, it wasn’t for her sake in the first place.

Since persuasion doesn’t work, we have no choice but to stop the maneuver.

If her maneuvers are not stopped, this girl will endlessly long for a fight.

I was hesitant to rush at me at the end, but the risk was too great to put any hope on it.

“Then what am I…”

Puffed up. Collapsed body.

A body that had lost even the energy to make a last stand, and the magnetic force disappeared from the sandstones that were attached to every corner of the body, and the cracks in the body began to intensify.

“I… Now, have no reason to exist…?”

Is this girl feeling despair?

Yes, having an ego means having emotions as well.

Since she carried out her purpose more desperately than anyone else, she must have felt that sense of despair growing.

“You can resent me if you want to resent me.”

Knowing that the foundation is the same as the children I taught, I couldn’t bear to erase my sympathy for this girl.

No matter how artificially created the tools are, they are nothing more than tools.

Because we consider that the basis is also the same as human beings like us.

“…I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”

I feel confused about that, so all I can do is stay by this girl’s side.

She’ll just listen to the curse that will be poured out at the end.

“You…”

From noble mtl dot com

The moment the fallen girl’s head turned towards me.

In the darkness that gradually descended, I did not avoid the girl’s gaze and looked at her clearly.

Read the young emotions inside it.

To accept all of that.

-Puffung.

But immediately after that, an explosion was heard.

At the same time, my nerves were on edge, and my eyes reflexively turned to the source of the sound.

Explosive drinking when you thought everything was over.

Could it be that the bombs that the city’s troops couldn’t remove remained in the city?

-Perpung, pung!!!

…No.

It is not a city.

I could see it even more clearly because it was on the tallest building in the area.

“What is that?”

Yes, the explosion occurred not in the city, but in the center of the city.

An explosion was occurring in the sky above Maris, none other than Maris.

However, when I engraved it into my eyes, what I felt was not wariness.

“Fire…”

To put it bluntly…Yes.

This was a sense of incongruity.

A thing I never thought I would see in this world is at the center of this continent.

“…Fireworks?”

I didn’t expect it to float in a place that became a symbol of peace.

***

Yes, just for that moment, everyone couldn’t take their eyes off the sky.

It was just a phenomenon where the gunpowder exploded high into the sky, and the debris scattered around and disappeared as if evaporating.

The light created by a simple flame reaction spreads across the sky and disappears repeatedly…

-Perpung, pung!!!

The moment when such a flame bursts out again as soon as it disappears, and eventually the sky is filled with flames, no one could look away, considering it insignificant.

Aristocrats and commoners, leaders and workers.

Officers and soldiers, scholars and mercenaries, citizens and wanderers… And students and teachers too.

For this moment alone, all of them were gazing at the halo of light that spread across Maris’ sky.

For everything that exists in the sky, those on the ground could only look up at it.

“Wow.”

It is the same with the boy who was born and lived underground, and eventually came up to the surface.

Even the boy who was wary of that binge drinking until now…

I couldn’t take my eyes off the cluster of lights that replaced the stars that were supposed to rise in the sky.

“Pretty.”

A beauty that can’t be imagined to have been created by human hands.

Because this moment captured the boy’s heart.
