148 – 148. Road School Power War (5)
Lana looks at Adele’s face with her eyes wide open. Her expression asked how did she know that.
“If you hate yourself for not being able to do anything, and blindly try to prove it out of frustration… That’s the wrong answer.”
“…!”
Adele took a seat next to Lana and started talking softly.
“Once upon a time I was like that. The thing I did a long time ago… It was something I tried to prove myself useful to.”
Life as a member of Count Kutelli, which I do not want to recall. Life as an illegitimate son of an aristocratic family. This story was from then.
“They persecuted and trampled on other people. They even used the power of status. It was a very bad thing.”
Adele was clearly trying to prove her worth.
However, practically nothing remained.
The eyes of the count and the nobility. This alone brings the sense of satisfaction closer and distances the sense of crisis. Although he was self-aware, this meaningless behavior continued.
My senses have blunted to the point where I don’t feel the pain even after being whipped.
For her, the day came when these meaningless proofs and futile efforts ceased.
“Then I was told that one day I would pay for what I’ve been doing… And it came true.”
Life as a doll bound by the count family.
Her life was so thorough that a man who showed her indomitable will with her naked body cracked a crack at her, and shortly thereafter completely smashed it.
“I felt it then. Being chased by myself and trying to prove something like that… Would only lead to destruction.”
Semester End of Year 2 Assessment. Adele then realized that she had lost everything.
That she has done irreversible things through her own stupidity and complacency.
She was overcome with a genuine sense of shame that she could not turn away from, that she had not hesitated to commit her atrocities against innocent people.
That’s right.
She
She doesn’t know why she did this she didn’t know why she did this she believed she was right.

It was something I personally experienced as ‘Sylvia Kuteli’, not Adelicia.
“…Why are you telling me this story?”
It’s something that will leave you with a sense of shame. She is an indelible dark history, and her label for doing this at one time did not disappear.
At this, Lana’s heart was moved a little.
“I saw my old self in you. So I had no choice but to stop it.”
“…”
Advice from experience.
Even Lana, who was about to give up saying that she couldn’t do anything, also looked back at her own actions.
But still, it’s hard to just skip this.
“I heard right in front of my eyes that it wouldn’t work even if I tried. What if I hear that?”
“Huh…?”
“The guy from Lebrandt earlier. He told me that it wouldn’t work if I tried. What should I do with this?”
Adele tilted his head, embarrassed.
A while ago, if you said someone from Lebland, it would be Junon, the one who just saved Lana. Junon is saying that?
No matter how you look at it, it seems like a misunderstanding…?
“That… I don’t know what Junon might have said to you, but he must have been trying to enlighten you. Sometimes he speaks indifferently, but absolutely not with any malice.”
“Wow, how can you be sure of that?”
“Sometimes even for me, there was a case where they bluntly said that it wouldn’t work, or that it wouldn’t make sense to do such a thing. It’s true!”
Lana has also heard something similar, so she is in awe.
As I just heard, it was a hard point, saying that of course it wouldn’t work. But when Adele heard the conversation that followed, her Lana’s nerves were on edge.
“If I study, can I become as smart as you? That was the question. I asked after listening to the academy lecture. I didn’t get good grades in the written lecture. Do you know what happened?”
It’s even almost the same.
Lana also because she asked Junon if she could be like him.
Then Adele smiled and said,
“They said how two people can be the same. They say it’s impossible unless they overlap their brains, and they say you can never be the same person as yourself. Isn’t it funny?”
He suddenly said something obvious, no, common sense that everyone should know.
But this common sense sounds very strange.
‘Ha, Mr. What is it then… Did I say that I couldn’t be the same person when I said no?’
After hearing that, I have no choice but to answer like this.
It’s disappointingly obvious, but… Generally speaking, people who point out this reason are rare.
As soon as she realized this, Lana’s tears filled her lacrimal ducts with an absurd gasp.
In a nutshell, Adele’s words mean that Junon is just being picky when it comes to oddities.
“That… Would you like to hear it?”
“Huh?”
This time, Lana carefully tells her story.
“As for what happened there…”
Just in case, I may have misunderstood. When she heard only the first sentence from Adele, she even misunderstood, saying that she had heard such a story.
Adele, who had listened to the story and nodded her head, said yes without much hesitation.
“Yeah. I think he was just trying to talk about how two people’s bodies can match?”
“Gee, really…?”
“I think he also said that men and women’s bodies cannot be the same. If you kept listening to it, you might listen to a terrible one-long speech, starting with that and measuring your age, height, and weight.”
“Huh…”
According to what I just heard, I think it might be true, but…
It was the sound of an absurd sigh.
To say no to that right away and cause such a misunderstanding.
“Doesn’t he have humanity? Junon, who looks so perfect, is flawed because he is so perfect.”
“…That’s weird. It’s not human.”
Lana said that she seems to have made all the useless misunderstandings. She finally managed to shake off the sense of self-doubt that had gripped her.
“I want to go back.”
“Has your anger gone?”
“…Yes.”
It looks like it’s going crazy somewhere, but it listens to you.
Anyway, the misunderstanding seemed to have been resolved.
“Ah, the situation is like this, so I didn’t mention it first.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know why you want to say this all of a sudden… Who are you? I don’t think you live in Sirach.”
“Ah, me? I’m… I’ll go back and tell you about it. It’s something Junon has to listen to as well.”
The scene that the two of them will see after returning to the road school like that might be a scene that will bring a big change to the road school.

“Ugh… How did you come here?”
If you think about the reason, Michelle, who follows you right next to you, thinks about the reason… It was all about the pink-haired someone who smoked.
-‘Aris? Didn’t I tell you to study a little instead of wasting time so carelessly?’
When she thinks of Senia staring at her fiercely with her hatchet eyes open, Aris still gets goosebumps all over her body.
“That’s your fault for not preparing for it, Aris.”
“But Michelle, I’m a sucker for studying!”
“If I don’t do that, this will continue to happen?”
After the Vice Principal was changed to Professor Meuniher this time, the frequency of written exams has increased considerably.
I don’t know if it’s rather about beating the beast. Her exams were always difficult for Aris, who hated studying.
In the end, as a result of neglecting her written exam, she was the only one at the Thembris party, facing a risk of demotion. Thanks to that, she participated in the power battle at Shirah Road School and came to tinker with her grades.
“Yeah, but since you’re here, Michelle, how can Power War not get good reviews?”
“Common sense tells me there’s no way I’ll grade you. Someone else will grade you instead of me, so you have to work hard, right?”
“Ah! How can I teach a theory I don’t know well!”
“Then I should study. So that I can teach.”
Aris sobs while grabbing her own pink hair. She and she watch it, and Michelle chuckles.
They hear a sudden explosion in their ears.
The two men instantly adjust their combat posture. Now I’m used to it as soon as I’m used to it.
“The direction is towards the road school? Is it a demon?”
“That can’t be the case. I heard that you have to go far north for the Witchbeast to appear…”
“Let’s go no matter what, Michelle. We’re not going to let it go.”
“Yes!”
Same time.
In the playground, the source of the binge drinking, it was difficult for everyone to judge the situation.
In the middle of the playground, there is only a male student who is helping and carrying tired students one by one.
There was an explosion, but it wasn’t an explosion. There was no sign of any explosion in this area.
The size of the green onion was so large that it just felt like an explosion.
“What are you doing? You dare touch my telekinesis magic.”
“…”
Then, I go to Junon again.
“I asked what you were doing, a participant in the power war! I’m giving you the education and lectures you want so much, but are you interfering with this?”
He shouted in an angry voice, but even when Junon heard such words, he silently supported the students. This was the last student.
‘I ignorantly beat and drive mana to destroy Jin. I used my hair a bit.’
But it was what I hoped for.
“This is you crossing the line. Even though I am a student at Lebrand Academy, this is the same as ignoring the professor’s policy, so it is safe to say that it is an obvious overstep.”
The professor smiles meanly and raises the magic in his hand.
The professor’s mana, which soon rose, drew a magic circle and prepared for an attack.
“Again, the professor uses magic again…”
“I might get caught up in it… Everyone run away…!”
“Ahhh! I don’t know!!”
All the students who didn’t want to suffer from being weighed down by mental movements, as they had already experienced, left this place without exception.
In the playground after the students have left, only the two of them are left.
The black-haired boy, who hadn’t shown any expression until now, is looking straight at the professor’s meanly smiling face.
“Pufu, do you think I’ll get scared if you stare at me like that? I’m not even a child. Besides, do you know? I don’t have eyes anymore.”
Not having eyes to see was a great opportunity.
Nothing is known about what happens here. Even if there is doubt, it means that it is impossible to obtain physical evidence with certainty.
“You must have grabbed me by the collar earlier, I was in a really bad mood then…? You know what? The reason I was kicked out of the Levant Academy was because of the corporal punishment.”
“…”
“Keuk, keuk keuk…! It must be an understandable reason to say that corporal punishment was applied to a student who exceeded his authority. So, you’d better be prepared. I’ll double back what I did, so it’ll hurt quite a bit. You cheeky little boy!!!”
The magic prepared by the professor is activated, and the magic circle emits light.
A huge chunk of iron floats up and makes a huge weapon. The iron lump becomes a single metal charge and aims at Junon.
‘Standing aimlessly…! It looks like he gave up, right?’
A normal student like that isn’t a force to be stopped.
I didn’t have any weapons, I didn’t see any armor to block it, and I wasn’t a noble, so I couldn’t have any artifacts.
Even if you had everything prepared, you would fall out and fall to the ground when the shock truck collided with tremendous power.
Anticipating how he would take his anger out on Junon, who was crawling around in a state of disarray, he fired the churn with confidence with his whole body.
Quaang!!
The metal charge hit the target properly.
The clown, who had been twitching and not knowing what to do with it, finally uttered a low voice and ascended to heaven.
“Puhahahaha! That’s right, why did you fight? Did you think that you, who only had an E rank on the quest page, could deal with me?”
This fricative sound resonates more clearly than the broken heart that sounded earlier. This undoubtedly made us anticipate the collapsed Junon.
The mad professor approached Junon slowly. To put an end to it.
“You shouldn’t have messed around with that. You shouldn’t have provoked me! You stupid… Um?!”
The professor’s voice, which was about to end, soon subsided.
It was because the figure of Junon, who was standing still, pushed Chungcha away with one arm, came in.
Then he sighs suddenly.
“Oops. Haven’t I been able to properly control my strength against students for the first time in a while? Well, really. It’s difficult to take more punishment here, so I must have restrained myself.”
But this time it will be different.
I recreated the metal chariot with more mana than before, and aimed again at the target.
And launch.
Once again, a loud sound filled the entire playground.
A single silhouette visible behind the billowing smoke.
That was not a figure of a person lying on the ground and falling over, but a picture of a person standing still.
“What… What the hell…?”
Even a stump in this area will shatter its core with a single hit from this metal charge.
But how did he endure that power with the body of an average E-rank student?
A handful of saliva drips heavily from the professor’s throat.
The silhouette is gone, and the same face as before.
The look in his eyes, as if he were going to dig his eyes out, enters without a change in his expression.
And then little by little we get closer.
Slowly, as if being squeezed.
– Basrak.
He backed away when he saw Junon without realizing it, and the sound of a branch breaking right behind him broke the silence.
The old professor, who was still confident at the sight of the boy who had prevented two shock attacks right in front of his eyes, recalled the situation a few minutes ago when his psyche was suddenly lifted.
‘Couldn’t it be… That it came from injecting mana into the line core of the magic circle…?’
Parmaeum is an impurity created when the amount of mana offset by a head-on collision returns to demonic energy and transmits auditory information.
If the sound made by these two charges was not the sound of hitting a human body, but the sound of dismantling the spell…
“No…! It can’t be! That can’t be possible!!!”
Something is wrong, frowning and deploying another magic.
Seeing Junon approaching step by step, there is no way to respond to long-range magic. If that’s the case, you can deal with it with ejection-type magic.
“Astarot’s third battle spear. Ruthhak, rip the wild dogs in front of you!!!”
At this level, it is a magic that only level B of Levant Academy, current page rank B-, can barely block with all their might.
From noble mtl dot com
It’s even an electricity-attribute magic that outmatches opponents who come close to it.
It was absolutely nothing that the kid in front of me could block.
However.
-Pajijijik! Teeing!
“No, that’s ridiculous… This, how did this…”
The spear broke like a tong in a hand clad in pure white magic, lost its shape and disappeared.
Then this time, he walks away calmly as if nothing had happened.
My hands started to sweat.
My back was damp with cold sweat.
The feeling of intimidation from before is coming back.
I’m afraid.
What the old man faced was the fear that any attack might not work.
“I-Ik!! Don’t come!! Don’t come! aaa!!!”
The magic circle of the professor drawn a long time ago is activated. Psychokinesis magic with twice as much mana as compared to the time when the students were suppressed.
This magic, which even has killing power, is not the level of taking punishment, but the power to be arrested as a criminal.
It doesn’t matter if the target in front of you explodes and dies.
I developed a spell in such a way that I would stop walking no matter how the aftermath came.
Please.
Please eat this moment! It was just a wish.
-Kiyiing!!!
However, this time, without fail.
The wind of the frightened professor was shattered by Junon’s hand.
Now it was right in front of me.
No matter how far away a mage is, it’s a zero distance that it’s almost impossible to gain an advantage.
“It is said that he will double back what he suffered… Then, can I pay back the seven students who suffered because of you, who pretended to be a professor?”
“Ukeuhek…! Kak, kag-guk…!”
Swallowing a breath, the professor, who was lifted up, fell backwards.
From fear to grabbing onto something, he groped the ground and pulled his back.
The face that was once stained with confidence and looked forward to corporal punishment contained only a desperate desire to help anyone.
As if he was about to be bitten on the back of the neck by a beast.
“Theuhuk…!”
“Why, it hurts? It hurts when you get hit, but don’t you think the other guys didn’t?”
“That, stop… Stop… Kuh!”
The mouth that used to laugh meanly bit the firewood so that it could no longer make a sound.
Junon’s voice, which hadn’t said anything, was now sternly lowered.
“Seven… No, eight, including Lana. I’ll thoroughly beat all the students who used to spend time with you.”
“Ik!
He bit into crab foam, turned his eyes upside down, passed out and stretched out on the playground in that state.
“…”
There is no slight movement in the old professor’s body.
I confirmed that fact, but Junon still hasn’t reaped his mana.
The lingering feelings remained.
Is it going to end like this?
Without even realizing with their own bodies what happened to those seven people?
The rotten branch of a healthy tree is eating up all the nutrients, isn’t this old professor the rotten branch?
I can’t understand.
It is a natural dissatisfaction.
I want to pour water on this old professor right now to make him come to his senses and then punch him mercilessly.
I want to engrave the condemnation of fear.
But… I had to stop. If you manage to get your reason together, this is the wrong answer.
“…”
He is just a student who came to conduct a power war. This guy is a professor.
There is no qualification or authority to impose severe punishment.
If something is done in such a yard… This place will remain unchanged forever.
Should be changed. By setting a precedent.
And to set a precedent, you must remain here. It is not that you will be punished and kicked out by directly pruning the rotten branches.
Junon got up from his seat and turned around leaving the fainted old professor alone.
And. He finds two female students who just arrived at the playground.
“You endured well. You endured really well…!”
Adele is relieved that she endured well,
“Thanks to you, all the students are safe. I’ve personally heard testimonies that the professor committed unbelievable corporal punishment.”
It was Michelle who, after hearing the professor’s atrocities, revealed her strife.
“We’ll take care of the rest, Junon.”
