Academy Genius Tamer Episode 177
The situation was roughly over, but there was someone I had to talk to.
Tae-soo Han and Adela were like that.
Tae-soo Han met Adela at Si-hyuk Han’s office.
Han Si-hyuk also understood his intentions and left the room, so there should have been enough time for a brief conversation.
There is one reason I called Adela.
Tae-soo Han stared at Adela and opened his mouth.
“You will blame me for the rest of your life.”
A single word came back.
“You should be thankful that you didn’t kill me.”
“You should be thankful you didn’t kill him.”
Tae-soo Han took it in a slightly different way. Adela frowned and looked at Tae-soo Han.
“yes?”
Tae-soo Han owes Adela a debt.
There is even a sense of guilt over the destruction of the life of an innocent child.
nevertheless.
“I was going to kill you.”
Adela’s forehead, unaware of the postwar situation, frowned even more.
“Tell me why.”
The story that started from there was the first story Adela had ever heard, and it was truly shocking.
Everything was ordered by the emperor, and Han Tae-soo took charge of the case as a servant.
It was entirely Han Tae-soo’s fault, but Han Tae-soo told all the secrets without hiding.
Ten years ago, the prophet certainly said so.
A survivor of Catablam will kill my son.
So I explained how I had to deal with all the tragedies on my own.
It’s just a thing of the past.
However, there are still survivors of the incident. It was impossible for me to tell everyone who lived while remembering that day, but I had to.
Since I can’t hide it anymore, Taesoo Han said in a calm but trembling voice.
Make Adela aware of the bitter reality.
“The survivors are Han Si-hyuk and you. It’s only two, isn’t it?”
Adela paused at the frank and cruel remark.
As Han Tae-soo said, there are only two survivors.
Adela frowned and asked.
“Among the two of us… Someone is killing Siha?”
It didn’t seem like Han Si-hyuk hated Han Si-ha enough to kill him.
No, he seemed to cherish him a lot as a younger brother.
Then he… ?
There’s no way you can kill Han Si-ha yourself.
“Isn’t the prophecy wrong?”
Adela couldn’t help but think so.
Taesoo Han seemed to think differently, though.
There was an unknown apprehension on his face.
‘The prophet’s prophecy is not wrong in any way.’
A prophet is no ordinary fortune teller.
A prophet’s prophecy is just an uncertain conjecture, but it has a surprisingly accurate conclusion.
Tae-soo Han, who had seen many prophecies come true, could not nod his head at Adela’s words.
“… I would hope so.”
Tae-soo Han slowly looked at the short-haired child standing in front of me.
Adela was staring at her as if she was displeased with that gaze, but she had no intention of blaming it.
As Adela said, he is a child who could one day kill himself.
He is a child who can destroy my family.
Just by not being there, I could see how much Adela endured.
Han Tae-soo raised a cautious request.
“I will hate you.”
As if it was obvious, Adela didn’t answer.
However,
“You may hate me, you may put a knife to my neck. However… .”
“… .”
“Do not betray my son.”
Han Tae-soo continued to speak with difficulty.
“Please.”

Castile, the mansion’s dungeon.
The warlocks who made a fuss at the engagement hall were detained here.
When the disposition is decided, it will head to the ecliptic.
Before that, there was to be a brief interrogation.
That is, I do it myself.
bum bum.
As soon as I went down the basement stairs, a familiar face appeared.
There was a man panting against a wall with his arms tied to a rope.
The original of the dolls cut over and over during the battle, the warlock Semir was kneeling.
Semir trembled as soon as he saw me.
There was no sense of fear in those bloody eyes. As if he was sacrificing for a cause, he felt even determined.

As soon as I approached Semir, he spit out of displeasure.
Yes, it was all tied up, so it didn’t bother me too much.
I made eye contact with Semir and asked.
“What were you thinking about doing this crazy thing?”
To be honest, it’s crazy that I almost died.
“Is it possible to have two lives?”
Semir clenched his teeth at my words.
“just… Kill it.”
The other warlocks who had accompanied him were also bound by his side.
Some have already died in battle, and those who survived are in poor condition.
I looked back at them slowly.
At the same time, a cry that was close to screaming rang out.
“Kill me too.”
“Kill!”
Starting with Semir’s words, the captives shouted like howling.
They scream as if their hopes have been shattered.
“I have no intention of begging for my life! Just kill me!”
“What?”
Listening to it, it’s a little ridiculous.
“Aren’t you the one who rushed to kill a man who is still engaged?”
Had it not been for Adela, I would have been really dead.
At least he was being dragged somewhere and threatened to vomit information about the Cube.
“uh? While listening to classical classical music in a cultured way, they said that they would try to get engaged while holding hands… They attacked me out of the blue and ruined it, so why would everyone treat me like a killer?”
I mean, I was the one who got beaten up while standing still.
“Am I the one to kill here or you?”
“… .”
Semir kept his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say here.
“If you have a mouth, can you talk to me?”
It seems like he’s going to build up his pride and begging him to kill him.
It is a felony to attack aristocrats at an engagement ceremony.
Even if the emperor does not step forward, he can organize them all in the Han Tae-su line.
No, it’s possible on my line.
So, it means that you are going to die without even begging for death.
I clicked my tongue and glared at Semir.
“Things that haven’t even been seen die are living in their mouths.”
For an experienced person, it’s terrifying.
If you die once, you won’t be in a hurry to kill me.
uh… I died once by mistake.
There are people who have fallen out of here and are struggling!
As he lamented as he recalled the past, Semir opened his mouth.
“I did it with the intention of dying, so that’s what I say.”
“Is it your job to prepare yourself for death and kill others?”
“… I had no intention of seeing blood.”
They planned to raid the wedding hall and take me, but they said they didn’t want to see blood in the first place.
Semir said so.
“I was obligated to take the cube from you as ordered.”
The conclusion was to get a cube.
Isn’t it too much to risk your life just for that rock?
Anyway, that power would be won by the final boss of part 1, Abaddon.
What kind of belief
For what cause are you so obsessed with Cube?
What’s so good about that stone?
I laughed at Semir’s words and asked.
“What are you going to do with the cube?”
“We will create an egalitarian society.”
“What?”
I was a bit startled by the immediate response.
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
It was the first time I heard it.
As far as I know, the original purpose of collecting cubes is just to gain power.
It must have been to avenge the defeat of ten years ago and to obtain the Ardel Empire.
“I thought you were serious.”
However, Semir’s determined eyes were clearly not telling lies.
At least, he seemed to believe so.
Abaddon prepared for war using the cube.
There was no grand meaning of what to do with the human race being equal.
Putting the whole world under me would be equality if it were equal… .
Semir’s words obviously had a different meaning.
he looked at me and asked.
“What do you think is the significance of the existence of aristocrats?”
“… .”
“I can’t answer. Because it wasn’t there in the first place.”
Semir gritted his teeth and raised his head. The other prisoners looked at me with similar eyes.
The first time I went down those stairs, I thought I knew why everyone was so hostile to me.
“Don’t you think that it is a world where things that are born with nothing but blood are too comfortable to install?”
All too naturally, ＜Sulka Demi＞ does not illuminate the warlocks.
How did you feel about participating in the battle? Why were you so desperate?
It just ran like a moth and died at Lee Han’s hand, but the reason was not explained.
If you don’t remember Semir’s name, that means he was one of the extras who died without even mentioning his name.
So, this is the first time I have heard of Semir.
“If people like you get out of my sight, I’ll just kill them.”
“Still not punished. it would be natural You must have been a good and noble being from birth.”
I stared at Semir and waited for him to speak.
Semir asked me.
“Do you know how old I was when the war broke out?”
“Well. I’m confused because I think it’s presbyopia.”
“… younger than your age.”
Semir was fifteen more than a dozen years ago and did not participate in the war.
His father, a warlock, also did not participate in the war.
But, nevertheless.
“The Empire has captured everything. ran away to live. Whether I made a mistake or not, life after the war was hell. I had to hide, and all my family members who were caught died.”
“… .”
“After slaughtering us so nonstop… A few years later, a program section was created at the academy. I was also forced to go there. What is the significance of existence with the Code? Do you know?”
You cannot learn or use black magic, which is forbidden by the Imperial Law.
Even with some restrictions, it has been maintained until now.
There are guys who break the taboo and have accidents, but on the surface they were definitely rolling.
However, this is the reason for creating and maintaining a program that did not need to be made at all… .
Semir laughed bitterly and spat out words.
“It’s for surveillance.”
“It’s easier to keep them together, so it’s easier to monitor.”
“To do that to children who have never committed a crime… Isn’t it disgusting?”
Because of deep-seated discrimination, I have always lived with dissatisfaction with the Code.
That’s why magic and necromancy cannot be reconciled even if the ground falls.
Even establishing such a relationship in the first place was certainly creepy if the Empire had planned it.
Semir strengthened his voice and continued speaking.
“There is an emperor, there are nobles, there are commoners, and under them we are. How can this society be equal?”
Then, he nailed it.
“This society will define us as evil.”
But,
“It was the Empire that made us evil.”
Those who have turned to their beliefs cannot be persuaded.
Semir thought that Cube was his salvation, and even though he knew he was going to die, he spat out the words.
“It was wrong from the beginning, so I want to change it. You are your older brother Han Si-hyuk… Do you know why I couldn’t go higher than the Ministry of Magic? It’s because he’s a writer. He’s more judgmental than you, and he’s strong, and he’s the empire’s foremost prophet. After all, aren’t you doing nothing like an academy professor babbling?”
“… .”
“Your brother was a genius, but he won’t be able to surpass you for the rest of his life. Because of that humble origin.”
“… .”
“It’s unfortunate. It’s sad. But, that is the reality.”
Semir spit out his beliefs, tied up.
How unfair the empire was, and how they bound innocent people.
It’s not wrong, but it’s like a bittersweet excuse.
I stared into Semir’s red, bloodshot eyes and cut off his words.
“I agree with you to some extent. No, you’re right. Because humans are equal.”
“What?”
“After all, it’s all dirt.”
I wish I had listened to this much excuse.
I looked at Semir and smiled.
“But, if I had been born in the Joseon Dynasty, I wouldn’t have said the same thing. It’s just a good sound to be short-lived.”
Semir tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what I was saying, but it didn’t matter.
I bent one knee and brought it to eye level with Semir.
“Your slaughter is not justified by making excuses over and over again.”
For Cube, it was ridiculous that anyone could kill anyone, and that it advocated justice.
I pointed out Semir’s convictions.
“If you say humans are equal, why do you force me to sacrifice? Your rebellion is sublime, is it okay to kill me for the sake of Cube?”
“that… that… .”
“Where is that definition? No, something like that… Can you call it justice?”
Shaking the dust and waking up,
I looked down at Semir.
His eyes were full of confusion that had never been seen before.
No, I was trying to deny it.
“For me, that is justice! I have fought all my life for that justice… How much to take revenge on the lives you have tread on miserably… .”
“You said it with your mouth. That would be revenge, not justice.”
“… !”
“Don’t put faith in your revenge.”
It becomes rationalization, it becomes madness, and it becomes an irreversible disaster.
He spat out a cold greeting towards his swollen face as if it was about to explode.
“after. Yes, I know. Let’s meet on the dirt floor as an equal.”
Tae-soo Han would take charge of their disposition, and I did not need to intervene.
So, I thought I’d just break out of this tired dungeon.
But, before that.
“Oh, I have one thing to correct.”
Come to think of it, there was one very important problem.
He pointed towards Semir, who raised his eyes wide.
Well, Si-hyuk Han is superior and stronger than me, and he is a genius, but he couldn’t make it because he was a bastard.
That outrageous remark.
… It’s not funny.
“I’m better than Han Si-hyuk.”
Even though they weren’t real brothers, they couldn’t hide their strangely sarcastic feelings.
