Avoid Former Co-Workers chapter 55

55. Denial (3)

55 – 55. Denial (3)

Aris found out only one thing.

Obviously Junon wasn’t in that group.

After being knocked down by mana exhaustion. It was only then that Junon appeared, and only then would the owner of that voice be right.

Articles, newspapers, papers, articles, sentences.

No matter what I checked, there was nothing related to it.

Compared to other students, there was nothing much different, only the list was barely listed and was written as a member of the defense battle.

“But he suddenly appeared and did this.”

Based on the contents of the pile of documents, the information is put together as follows.

Junon appeared just in time when he fell from mana exhaustion, and he made a gap against the Osoptera by any means.

Junon changed his formation and took the students to the Alkaid Hall without taking a single casualty.

When I arrived at the Alkaid Hall with all the students, I held a sit-in and waited for support while wasting time.

Finally, Professor Dahlia arrives, and after the defensive battle, Erica’s surgery was performed.

I could guess that this is the story after she collapsed.

From noble mtl dot com

“Does that… Make sense? Is that him?”

It is highly unlikely that Erica could have woken up intact and changed the formation and system of her students even after receiving the serious injury.

However, the possibility that the people present would have done it is infinitely low.

Thus, the man who suddenly appeared was definitely Junon, and he brought all of this to fruition.

It wasn’t about whether or not there was a possibility. The problem was that there was no one to do that except one person.

But considering what kind of guy Junon was, this was a contradiction.

The one who became a burden after losing his power. Those who live ugly at the expense of others. The one who let his comrades die.

The Junon that Aris knew, from memory, was such a guy.

Aris couldn’t stay stuck in the hospital like this as her head felt like it was about to break at the thought of the two constantly rebelling.

“Patient Aris? Are you going out?”

“I’m going to go through the discharge process.”

“Discharge…?”

“Yes. Please hang up as soon as possible.”

Aris, who insisted on her hospitalization until yesterday, saying that she wanted to postpone her discharge, was nowhere to be found.

‘I need to make sure he isn’t plotting something else.’

“Oops, sorry!!!”

“…”

Today, whenever I run into someone, everyone runs away as if they have seen a ghost.

I understand very well. Even making eye contact with me is scary.

But that’s not too bad. I haven’t noticed that there’s something strange about them yet.

—Keep-keep-keep.

Thanks to this, gossip was created, and guys who were very happy to bite and fall for it appeared. The guys who chew on me from behind are grabbing a gossip and harshly criticizing me.

─How can you avoid your classmates now? How hard it must have been for Aris-senpai because of that guy…

─But since he skipped a grade, his class is different.

─Isn’t that guy blocking the formation because he tried to ruin the formation?

─Ah. It’s a shame. I would have seen it myself if it hadn’t been for my father’s urgent call.

‘You can talk as much as you like.’

At the time the Osopteras appear, they are sitting there talking comfortably on the topic that they got away with only listening to the information from the aristocratic union.

If you guys were there, I’d be tired of my pants. These cubs

‘No.’

Thinking about it, I was glad that they didn’t exist.

If those things, which only focus on firepower, did something wrong and drew the attention of the monsters, the formation would collapse and they would be completely annihilated. Even thinking about cancer, this side is better.

Leaving aside the slander or not, I checked today’s notice.

[ Finished clearing canola mold. All are scheduled to return today, leaving only the necessary garrison. ]

Probably, their damage will be minimal.

If you look at the entire state of Sheet, there will be some damage, but most of it will be limited to the west side.

I’ll use this as an excuse to cause some damage to the Noble Alliance, so it’s no problem as long as my Blashuar Ark rental case is handled well.

Judging from the fact that Professor Dahlia hasn’t said much since it’s been a day since he took it, it doesn’t really seem like there’s anything to be blamed for.

The winner of this subjugation was clearly the side of the Principality.

Then you should naturally move on to the next scenario.

[ Notice of Class Placement Test ]

[ For details, refer to the contents of the bulletin board that will be uploaded in the morning. ]

There was not much difference from before the regression. The biggest change is that the end-of-semester evaluation was brought forward to save time.

Thanks to that, the class assignment test was a little late, but it should go much faster than then.

Next, the number of avant-gardes did not decrease that much even after entering the third year.

The number of dislocations that did not decrease had a big impact even before Osoptera, and although the number may be smaller than that, the damage is not great.

Except for just two people.

The things that are clearly different from before the return here are Erika’s slander and Aris’ mana exhaustion, but I’m not sure how these will turn out.

Since Professor Dahlia is here, I wonder if he will somehow recover and take the next class assignment test.

If that happens, the same result will be produced, no different from the past, only with a different number of students participating and the time being advanced.

“Huh?! The class assignment notice is now up! On the bulletin board!!”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Finally, the sparring test!!”

There are many futures that need to be changed, but from my point of view, there are also futures that should not be changed.

But that’s a bit of an afterthought.

“What are you up to?”

Aris Mckenheim.

Known as the leading figure in the defense of Osoptera this time, she took advantage of the absence of her students and came to visit.

I guessed anyway. From the time Professor Dahlia brought her object rental permit, it seemed that she had been twisted into something.

Besides, there is no law that things will always work out the way she wants, so she took this variable into account and thought that a corresponding countermeasure was necessary.

However, it is more important to know why the situation happened than to take out the prepared countermeasures and react.

“What are you talking about because you came to visit me?”

Casting Morsoe, I hoped it wasn’t the situation I was expecting.

***

“Tell me straight. What did you sell my name for?”

“What am I?”

When Junon shrugged her shoulders and tried to deftly pass her over, Aris gnashed her teeth.

As if she knows everything, isn’t she trying to get away with saying that too? It would have been better to point it out clearly than to leave it so blatant.

“If you did everything, why are you leaving it all to me?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know why you’re talking to me about that.”

“…Are you kidding me?”

“Looks like you got the wrong address, so go somewhere else.”

“Answer me straight. Don’t avoid talking like that!!!”

Aris, who could not stand it and exploded, raises her voice.

Aris, who raised her voice and sighed, soon began to vent all her doubts.

“The one I took was Kennik’s 6th formation. Hasirt’s 3rd formation was never used. Contrary to my thoughts of driving out the alumni, I heard that the last time I took was at the Alkaid Hall like a defense battle? So Professor Dahlia arrived and It’s my job after that? I’m the one who completely passed out after pouring all my magic to save Erika?”

“…”

“Are you feeling better now? Can you sue now that I’ve proven all my choices wrong?”

Aris did not stop even after that.

“Even if I tried to drive Amman with the Kennik 6 formation, I couldn’t be pushed back. Then, the rearguard ran out of magic power, so I was pushed back because there was no firepower. Then, those guys ran away saying it couldn’t be done any more. Thanks to that, my back was cut. As the back was cut, even Erica, who was slowing down the retreat, was hit.”

As if to say that there must be someone involved in this.

As if to point out that Aris is definitely not the main culprit in this incident.

And with the wrong instructions, she failed to trust a group of students, instilled anxiety, and eventually made them break out, putting Erica, a fellow party member, in danger.

Everyone vomited everything out as if admitting that it was their fault.

“I’ve said everything, so now you answer me. What’s your plan?”

Aris had to know Junon’s purpose even if she had to directly expose her flaws in this way.

His every single action is irritating. Especially since he has memories of losing his comrades because of Junon.

If they tried to trick my colleagues again this time, I was determined to stop them.

Then an unexpected answer came out of his mouth.

“Ha… I couldn’t believe it. Why did such a thing happen in such a formation? Yeah. You didn’t know it properly. That’s why it was like that.”

He let out a dejected laugh with an expression as if he knew something.

What is it? What the hell are you thinking? What are you asking for?

Aris was very nervous as to whether she would be able to find out his intentions now. But he continued to speak incomprehensible.

“How miserable. My end is in your hands. Actually, I hate having to help you.”

“…What?”

The end is in our hands? You hate having to help us?

What’s that all about?

“I mean. I have no intention of running into you guys or going to a party. I know very well that you and Erica hate me so much.”

“…”

“I’ll listen to what you said at the beginning. Instead, you will take care of your own affairs from now on. That’s all I have to say.”

I don’t understand at all. Aris didn’t understand any of what he just said.

Again, what is that cool look that seems angry? Alice’s head was full of doubts.

I still have to continue the conversation with Junon.

“Wait a minute! We’re not done yet…”

“Bleshuar Arc. You know what it is, right?”

Isn’t it a protective object created by an incomprehensible master of magical engineering in the empire?

I wondered why the story came out all of a sudden, and the moment I tried to hold him back, he lifted his arm and showed it to me.

It was said that he would use it if necessary.

“Our bad relationship ends here. Aris. You… No, as you wish, I will never enter Thembris.”

After finishing what he had to say, Junon cut off the conversation and immediately left through the front door.

“What the hell… What are you talking about…”

Aris was just staring blankly at the front door that Junon had walked through.

***

In the end, I couldn’t figure out anything.

She also knows very well that the protagonist of the Alkaid Hall siege is definitely Junon, not Aris.

‘Then why?’

In my memory, he is a piece of trash who let his fellow party members die. That is Goden, the center of the party.

After losing his power, he was a lump of baggage that only held back the ankles of the Thambris party.

I tried to sacrifice everything in order to save him because of how he coaxed other colleagues and key figures in the principality.

I don’t even want to count how many people died in his life. He didn’t even understand that he even handed over the command to him and entrusted the future of the duchy to him.

I thought he was such a selfish guy who didn’t care if others died in order to somehow survive.

Then why this time? Why was he risking himself this time to step in and save the students, as well as Erica and himself?

Isn’t it right to run away like the guys who broke away during the battle or not interfere?

There is one other possibility.

I know the fact of the Siege, so I’m going to use this to clear my debt and plot a wrongdoing.

But he said he didn’t want to be involved anymore. He even said that this is the only time he helps. I told him to take care of the rest, and he went so far as to completely nail it that he would not enter Thembris.

This is… I can’t get a feel for it.

Because it didn’t match.

“My head hurts…”

My head is ringing from thinking too long. I decided to think about the rest later, and decided to stop by Erika’s hospital room.

“I feel like I see it when I dream these days. The wound of a female senior with a pierced stomach…”

“Ugh. Don’t talk. I don’t even want to think about it. But I’m going crazy thinking about it whenever I have a chance.”

She heard the story of two students reading a newspaper in front of the bulletin board at Megrez Hall.

Perhaps, that’s Erica’s story.

Originally, I thought it was Aris as well, and I was going to pass it on, but the story she heard immediately caught her nerves again.

“Professor Dahlia’s surgery… That must be about that senior, right?”

“Of course it is. No matter how deep our wounds are, they are new blood compared to Erica-senpai.”

“Yeah… But why did you ask us to help you then?”

“No matter how much Professor Dahlia is willing, she still has two arms. She must be saying that her hands are not enough. She needed someone to help her there, so she called someone and she saw her and took her.”

“Ah… I didn’t know that. Even if I knew that, I wouldn’t be able to do it even if I told you to…”

“More than that, I still remember the person who followed me into surgery and came out without any change in expression. Is he a real person?”

“That’s right… I heard that other guys get goosebumps and run away when they see Junon-senpai.”

Junon? Who helped with Erica’s surgery?

I couldn’t stay still after hearing that.

“Let’s go back. Huh… Erika-senpai?”

“That… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to gossip…”

“Is that true, guys?”

“”Yes?””

“It was Junon who helped Erica with the operation. Is that correct?”

The two juniors looked at Aris’ face as if their eyes were on fire and only nodded at her stiffened head.

From noble mtl dot com

‘How could that be?’

-‘Erika, I know very well that you and I hate me so much.’

Junon gave off a nuance that she, Erica, and she behaved the same way as he did.

Then I would never have wanted to help Erica. Why?

The conversation between the two juniors revealed that it was Junon who was involved in saving Erika, who could have been left to die.
