136 – Academy Competition_22
There was a connection with his family.
It was around the time that he acted as a simple citizen whose name was unknown, unlike now.
Paladin, or Richard Tyler, was targeted by many people.
It has been 10 years since the Great War, an unlimited all-out war between all countries in the world that gained power after the cataclysm when the gate appeared in the world.
At the beginning of the chaotic mana society, the scars of the gate and war could not be properly washed away.
In people’s minds, people with mana abilities were gradually melting into a part of society.
But to some people, people with different mana abilities than themselves were seen as monsters.
To some, it looked like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
Some people also saw it as a treasure that can solve illness and wounds at once.
It was in the middle of that.
Rumors spread.
It was a rumor with no scientific basis at all that if you ate the meat of a mana healer, all diseases would be cured, longevity without disease, or immortality.
However, there were many people who were fascinated by the rumors, and there were many people who coveted the power after seeing the cure of illness and wounds at once.
Richard lived his life carefully so that his identity would not be revealed.
It was because there were plenty of people who would take his life or his safety if he was caught.
They’re no more than a fistful away now, but at that time Richard was just a weak, insignificant, mediocre citizen.
It was in the middle of hiding my identity and leading a normal life.
Because mana nerds were basically strong and strong, they often went to construction sites where wages were high.
And I witnessed the accident.
At that time, anything was done for money.
Corruption was taking place in many places, and this place was just one of them.
Defective materials, unreasonable shortening of the delivery date, lack of safety, lack of equipment, and many other issues caused the disaster.
Blood soaked the ground.
Construction materials pierced the body, and the screams of the workers spread in all directions.
People shook their heads.
It was common for workers of that era to lose one or two fingers.
That extension.
Because it was a common occurrence, an unfortunate event, and soon death.
I ignored it, saying it was just a piece of history.
‘Sal… Please save me.’
‘I’m sorry.’
‘Please…’
He also turned a blind eye.
He might have been saved if he had come out, but he turned away.
It was because he knew what had happened to the healing system that was discovered.
Test subjects, the story of being sliced alive and turned into formalin was no longer a fact that could be heard everywhere.
In the end he died.
I don’t even know the name.
The funeral was held quickly, and the family wept.
After that, I had several nightmares.
He said.
With blood on his lips, he spoke desperately.
‘Why… Didn’t he save me?’
‘…’
From noble mtl dot com
‘Why!!!!!!!!!!’
However, that nightmare gradually faded over time.
Now, only that memory remained in Richard’s mind.
That’s how time passed.
It was around the time that I was trying to ignore it as a piece of the past that flowed by.
‘Ah.’
I witnessed another accident.
It was the same accident, only in a different place.
‘Please…’
A worker who had an accident has reached out his hand.
Same thing, same situation.
‘Why… Didn’t you save me? You had the power to do that!!!’
I heard the cry of an unknown worker.
‘Dad…’
He saw his daughter weeping bitterly.
‘Honey, isn’t it? This…’
I could see the person he loved holding the tombstone and weeping.
His hands, feet, and body trembled.
People shook their heads again.
They succeeded in rescuing the workers from the crime scene, but now they are sentenced to death that no one can save them.
‘Mom… Mom…’
A laborer found his family in agony.
‘…’
When I came to my senses, I was confident that I had approached him.
The light fell on his hand and his wide open wound returned to its place as if time had turned back.
That’s how the wound heals.
The dying man has come to life.
‘It’s a miracle.’
‘I only heard about that…’
‘…’
People were in awe when they saw it.
‘Persimmon, thank you. How should I repay this grace?’
‘It’s okay. Are you feeling better than that?’
‘Yes, yes… Thank you very much. I will repay this grace somehow.’
The worker sobbed hard and bowed his head.
The nightmare is gone.
I could no longer see someone crying.
No screams or cries came.
Like that.
I thought everything was coming to an end.
Reality has arrived.
‘This is him. That guy is the healing world.’
‘Really? You mean that? Catch them guys.’
I was kidnapped.
A worker who saw what happened then, blinded by money, brought in a gang who believed in rumors about the healing world.
It would have been possible to solve it somehow with one or two long men.
There was no way to defeat the large number of people with guns.
‘Show your abilities.’
I was tortured.
‘Is it okay to eat meat?’
They were even torn apart alive.
‘This is an interesting subject.’
With no results, he was sold to a mad scientist.
‘How about this? This…’
Increasing experiments.
‘Hmm… That’s pretty interesting.’
Increasing pain.
‘Aha, healing was a mechanism that worked this way. This will revolutionize science.’
Increasing regrets.
If you haven’t been sick of nightmares…
If you just watched him die.
This would never have happened.
You must have lived an ordinary life, an ordinary life.
That’s why.
‘Do you regret it?’
…
‘Of course it is. As I expected, mana was ─.’
Amid fading vision.
‘Looks like you’re useless now. Thank you for your effort.’
The end has come calmly.
‘What are you? Guard!!’
‘Something… He’s here to repay the favor.’
The warmth after a long time.
‘It’s been a while. Forgive me for being late.’
I saw an unknown man standing under a collapsed wall as if to protect himself.
‘I’m here to repay the favor.’
Her man ran through her guard, bleeding her blood, and defended Richard as she went under her bullet.
‘Who are you…’
‘You said you would repay the favor somehow. Sorry it took so long to find. I thought I was in a gang and destroyed it…’
‘That…What…’
‘You’re thinner than that. When you get out of here, I’ll treat you to the Southern Special Stew. Therefore. Hold on tight.’
That’s how I was rescued.
Even if there wasn’t a single spot that was fine.
The relationship continued.
I realized that what I did was never something I would regret.
‘I haven’t told you my name yet. I am Albert Hoover.’
A lot of things happened after that.
‘There is a healing system over there.’
There were plenty of people who were bitter about the rumors.
‘Is it true that all diseases can be cured?’
At that time, I got caught up in various incidents.
‘What else did Richard do?’
‘I didn’t do anything.’
‘Haa, be prepared for that. Coming.’
There have been numerous enemies.
‘Can you teach me how to use my body?’
‘Because it’s a healing system, it won’t be effective?’
‘Because I have to protect my body.’
‘In that case. But my training will be a bit difficult.’
‘It doesn’t matter.’
There was a time when I spent a simple training day.
‘That must be Richard.’
‘Please give me your autograph.’
‘Me too—’
‘The corners of your mouth are raised. You must be in a good mood.’
‘Are you upset that I didn’t call you?’
‘…’
There was a small happening.
‘Thank you. Thank you so much.’
‘How to repay this grace.’
‘It’s okay.’
Responsibilities and obligations to power.
I realized that what I was doing was not wrong.
‘I enclose you in the third sword of this holy empire.’
As time passed, society stabilized and Richard became a hero.
Hero name is Paladin.
Hover became a sidekick.
And it solved several things.
A nightmare for some, a favor for others.
With each reason. Told the story
That’s how 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, time was free.
‘Hey…’
‘First… I’ll go. Paladin, no Richard. Enjoyed.’
A story always has an end.
He died quietly under the watchful eye of his family.
A calm expression, a bond of decades.
I felt an absolute sense of emptiness.
But there was a lot of work to be done.
The world still needed him and he had work to do.
I felt skeptical and bitter.
He was so by the time he was eating some years.
A phone call came.
‘This is Harbor. Paladin…’
An old friend’s child said with tears of rage.
Leaded by fate.
It was not difficult to trace the case.
Several years of experience, subtle mana flow, and incidents that occurred soon clearly told where the culprit was headed.
And saw the malice.
Six episodes of a cadet who had a bright future that exploded right in front of his eyes.
An emotionless monster who only sees people’s lives as chess pieces.
An unidentified guy.
There was a black robe.
A coincidence overlapped while being dragged and dragged.
There was a cadet’s base.
There was the courage of the academy cadets.
Something sad happened.
Things were so sequential, like a set play.
There must have been a screw missing somewhere, but it was too late to realize that.
When breaking the neck of the black robe, when continuing to feel the subtle flow of mana.
I shouldn’t have let go of my doubts even if a series of terrible events had blocked my vision.
“Yeah… I see. Was it fake?”
Heavenly Island Ella Central Area.
The paladin suddenly appeared and pulled out the sword that had stabbed him from the back, recovering from the wound, and at the same time attacking the black robe behind him fiercely, forcing him to retreat.
However, even for a moment, the paladin could not get out of a certain distance.
The reason was simple.
If he moves, his mana, which is delaying the fall instead of the source of the sky island, will be lost and the island will fall immediately.
Those who evacuated Ella, the island of heaven, could not move until they explained the current situation and evacuated the people below.
“Rather than bury it, you need to inject mana under it quickly. If the island falls like this, what are you going to do?”
“…”
“Many lives are in your hands. It may be tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. But to think you’re fooling around like this…”
“The little rat…”
“As expected, even first-generation heroes can’t have problems with their personality. What is a rat cub to a person? Where would you like to get bitten by a rat?”
A black robe that speaks with a mocking tone.
In the worst situation, Paladin just gritted his teeth and stared.
