Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 90

90 – Full-scale sports competition (4)

Jibril had one special ability. He was probably born with it from the moment he was born.

If I were to give it a name, would it be astrology?

I once heard something like that. You are a child blessed by the stars.

Of course, Jibril did not know whether that was true or not.

From noble mtl dot com

All she knows is that the abilities she possesses are truly extraordinary.

Dream and see the future.

She didn’t necessarily have to choose dreams as a medium for that ability, but Jibril knew that it was most efficient.

Was it because of that?

This is not everyday foresight, but should never be passed over. When something ‘shocking’ about the future was mentioned, it always appeared in the form of a dream.

This is exactly the future related to Dante.

…… Astrology doesn’t tell you the whole future. Therefore, it could be said that the information available was not absolute and extensive.

Nevertheless, what she was certain of just by seeing that fragment of the future was-.

The existence of that boy named Dante cannot be left alone.

If we do that, this continent will most likely face dire consequences.

Yes. That was all.

– …… Huh.

Is it because it was such a shocking sight and scene? The moment she saw the end of that future, Jibril woke up, and for the first time, she felt that her whole body was covered in sweat.

This has never happened before.

And she left her hometown. She just put a dagger in her arms and did that.

It could be said that there was no plan, and it would not be wrong to say that it was reckless. She thought she had to do it anyway.

They must be killed.

She must kill that monster herself.

Since she has seen the future, she is responsible for twisting that future to the worst, obviously.

She just thought about it obsessively.

…… It felt like a sense of responsibility was weighing down on her shoulders.

-Is this an empire?

And, when she left the East and arrived in the Empire, the first thing she did was search for Dante’s location.

If you borrow the power of your supernatural ability, it is not impossible to pinpoint someone’s exact location.

-Huh?

…… This was the moment when her intelligence first created a contradiction.

From the sight I saw in my dream, Dante must have been in the system. If not, it would have to be in a city nearby.

No.

The place indicated by astrology was not an institution, nor was it anywhere near it.

Even further away, the Gold Dragon’s Academy.

Dante’s location was right there.

-Why…… ?

I was confused. Because this was my first time like this. Because I have never experienced such a thing as two branches of wisdom colliding with each other.

…… Still, she couldn’t help it. There were no other options.

She headed to the academy.

It is said that it is the period when the sports competition is taking place.

A time when entering the campus is easier than ever.

She arrived at the Academy and found Dante.

And the moment she first encountered her, she tried to draw her sword based on the murderous intent she had harbored during the short journey, but-.

She was distracted by the presence of a girl next to her.

The saint of the church.

Beatrice Louise.

The person by Dante’s side was none other than a person more noble and saintly than anyone else on this continent.

At least in the future that Jibril saw, Dante, who is full of resentment and hatred toward the entire world, would definitely not be the person who would be with him.

Why? What has changed?

The saint went beyond simply staying by the boy’s side, and acted as if she was actively trying to protect him.

Completely unexpected appearances and variables. So Jibril chose to step down first. Because so much has changed.

Because this was not the monster she had expected and imagined.

I was confused.

There was hesitation.

The boy who had to be killed, the boy who thought he had to be killed. He was more human than I thought…….

Also, it was ordinary.

At least what was in those two blue eyes was not a bloody poison.

-What has changed…? ….

Jibril’s hesitation grew in size and eventually began to gradually cloud her resolve.

I have to kill him. We must prevent a future in which all skies across the continent are colored with vicious thunderclouds.

– …… What on earth?

Contradictoryly, she didn’t want to do that.

I was scared.

Killing people.

I even thought that maybe the boy wasn’t so cruel as to bring about such a terrible future.

…… It was such a vague belief that I couldn’t be sure.

-OK… …. I have to do it.

I made a decision.

I made my decision again.

Blind trust in the ‘ability to see the future’ that has already been built up over a decade. In order to break it, a certain amount of confirmation was needed.

Yes.

Dante’s true intentions had to be confirmed.

– … ….

Jibril worked hard to control her shaking heart-.

One week like that.

From a distance where she would not be seen, she watched Dante’s every move.

*****

“… ….”

I opened my eyes.

‘Ugh.’

At that moment, I suddenly felt like my vision was not clear. Should I say that I feel like I am suffering from extreme motion sickness?

Somehow, she forcibly lifted her heavy eyelids and tried to come to her senses.

Although it was dizzy… ….

‘…… Here is.’

I finally succeeded in coming to my senses.

Raise your head.

And then I realized it a beat late.

“…… “What?”

My physical condition was not normal. No matter how you look at it.

That’s because my limbs, as heavy as rebar, no longer obeyed my will.

Also, I realized the situation too late. To be precise, it recalled her memories of her last moments.

“… ….”

Artificial fog. And the image of Jibril emerging from the fog was instantly replayed in my mind…….

The next second I could see.

The figure of Jibril, leaning against the tree right in front of me and staring at me.

“Are you awake?”

It was a rather carefree voice. In some ways, it just feels natural.

However, the dagger in her hand only disturbs the peaceful atmosphere.

I sighed as I realized that my body wasn’t moving properly and at the same time, I couldn’t pull up the thunderbolt either.

“…… “What are you trying to do to me?”

I then asked a question. It was inevitable because I didn’t know how to release the weight that was weighing me down and the sealed supernatural ability.

I’m not kidding, I really thought I could die.

Looking at me alive now, it seems like my lifeline hasn’t ended yet.

…… It’s unclear how long this will continue.

“Are you going to catch them and then kill them later?”

I almost crawled on the ground and looked up at Jibril as hard as I could. I really didn’t like the composition, but what can I do?

First, I asked, and fortunately, Jibril’s answer came back in time.

“…… “I won’t kill you.”

They say they won’t kill you. I really appreciate your words. At the same time, it’s ridiculous.

It’s a new thing, but I wonder why I’m in this situation.

It was really difficult to understand.

I opened my mouth again with another deep sigh.

“What are you going to do if I don’t kill you?”

I am convinced and leave Malchus, but in any case, it is Jibril who is holding my leash now. Either way is fine, so I wanted to hear the answer first.

What does she want to do now, holding me like this?

I could hear the answer right away.

“I have to drag it.”

“…… Are you dragging me away?”

“Yes. To the east.”

Jibril answered calmly, and I fell into silence once again.

A lot of things I wanted to say came to mind, but paradoxically, I couldn’t organize my words.

Okay, anyway, it looks like the plan to kill me has been put on hold. After all, what’s next?

It seems like they are trying to keep their necks together, so is it really something I should be thankful for?

“…… “I’d like to hear the reason.”

I tried to calm my boiling stomach and asked the question again.

I have a rough guess, but I’m not sure.

I wanted to hear the true story from the person involved. For now.

“If you explain it, at least I won’t be frustrated.”

“… ….”

Jibril did not immediately give her answer to my words. She closed her mouth, and I decided to wait patiently for the story to come out.

If only it were a problem -.

“Is there a reason…?” ….”

I guess Jibril’s expression when he finally spoke out after all that waiting was cold, quite different from what I expected.

I didn’t know her cause, but I felt like I had a vague idea that she was remembering something about herself.

Going a little further, I guess this is probably the most fundamental reason for doing this. In other words, isn’t it a ‘vision of the future’ that I saw at some point in relation to me?

I kept her mouth tightly shut and waited for Jibril to speak.

The answer I wanted in the first place was also because the future was right. What on earth did I see that made me do this? That’s all I wanted to know.

…… Just to add a little more, yes.

Was ‘my’ future really so terrible that I couldn’t watch it like that? Or, as I expected, did I see something that the original Dante would commit?

It was a question to find out.

And then there is the wait.

It was immediately after that that Jibril gently bit her lip and spoke to her.

“…… You shouldn’t ask that. “I’m still in a situation where I don’t know what the right answer is.”

“What?”

And the answer was truly more embarrassing than I could have imagined.

Soon Jibril’s green eyes began to glare at me with a rather bloody glow.

“Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know? It seems like you know me, so you can guess it, right? “I know your plans, and I’m sure I know what you’re going to do.”

“… ….”

I was momentarily speechless and closed my mouth. However, I don’t know how he interpreted it, but Jibril clenched his fists and began spitting out the next words as if chewing them up.

“I sympathize with your past. I admit it. I don’t know everything, but even so, I can’t help but understand your anger. But even if that were the case, I cannot sit idly by and watch such a miserable future.”

“… ….”

“I saw the future. As a result of your endless hatred, many people have been hurt……. He died again. It was a truly terrible future. “If I were not careful, I could have been eaten by that ‘dream.'”

Her expression was seriously distorted.

She feels truly scared and truly anxious.

That appearance made me seriously think about Dante’s past and future.

‘That’s it in the end.’

More than that, it made me confident in one hypothesis. Yes, in the end, what Jibril saw was not ‘my’ future.

I just saw Dante’s future.

If we had to name it, should we call it the old future that is no longer present?

I sighed. I understand, but it’s still absurd from my perspective.

In the end, it is an illusion.

What’s more troubling to me is that there isn’t even a way to properly explain that it’s an illusion.

How on earth should this matter be handled?

Where, how, and in what form can misunderstandings be resolved?

With that thought in mind, it was a moment to use my brain as much as possible to come up with a solution.

“…… “I have been watching you for a week.”

Jibril separated his lips from hers again.

“And then I fell into deep confusion. “It was a sight I couldn’t understand.”

Those two eyes looking at me…….

At least the feeling of denial seemed to have faded a bit compared to the beginning.

“Why are you smiling like that? Why can you get along with others so normally? Wasn’t your goal the destruction of all those people?”

I immediately tried to say yes, of course, but Jibril’s next words were a beat faster.

“…… “I don’t think I can just accept your changes as is, a reality that conflicts with the future I saw.”

And after those words.

What a disaster!

Jibril’s eyes, filled with an even stronger light, captured me entirely.

“…… !”

I had no choice but to stiffen up. It was not just a reaction due to a sudden change in situation, but because a real influence was massaging my body.

Magic.

The mysterious magic of the East has been activated again.

This time too, they are targeting my body directly.

…… An indescribable, intense pressure begins to weigh down my body.

“Pfft…” … !”

It’s like if you lose concentration for a moment, you’ll lose consciousness right away.

“…… Stop the pointless resistance. “I feel sick.”

At about that time, I heard Jibril’s voice.

A tone of voice that seems to be a sincere sigh.

I could say that it was a tone that I could not help but feel strong rejection from.

“Words, nonsense…” … !”

I gritted my teeth and held on to my spirit. I couldn’t lose consciousness like this.

This was not a situation where we could think of lukewarm methods such as dialogue or persuasion.

I tried to listen to the story for a moment because the action at this moment was blocked, but you never know when and at what moment Jihad will move, isn’t it?

If I closed my eyes now, I really wouldn’t know where I would be the next time I came to my senses.

Jibril’s words that followed the very next moment confirmed that prediction.

“I plan to take you with me to the East, Dante, the gifted person.”

“…… !”

“There is a foundation there that I have built over the past dozen years… …. Even considering your great power, you can probably control it well. “It’s probably possible.”

As soon as I heard those words, I ground my teeth so hard that I felt like I was going to break them. Can not be done. That’s not possible.

“Now, close your eyes. “If you sleep for a little while and wake up, everything will be in order.”

“Oh my, sh*t…” ….”

“I cannot just stand by and watch your lightning strike the entire continent.”

Jibril finished his sentence, right after that.

Woah!

Her magic began to tighten its grip on my mind even more powerfully.

Now, it’s really getting to the point where it’s difficult to hold on any longer.

‘…… No, it doesn’t work…….’

From noble mtl dot com

I tried my best to hold on to my fading consciousness, but I still couldn’t solve everything with my mental power.

…… My eyes close.

No matter how strong and firm my will was, it seemed meaningless in the face of this miserable beast.

The moment I suddenly realized, I had lost all strength in my body.

‘…… sh*t.’

Just as I was about to close my eyes for the last time, the sight that came through my blurry vision was—.

“… ….”

It was none other than the appearance of a black energy vaguely filling the blue sky a little far away.

Pajik-

In other words, it is a musical instrument (negative energy). Demon power.

…… You shouldn’t be here right now.

If it exists, it is a force that is clearly the work of Jihad.

‘f*ck.’

I am.

Lightning struck.

Quargrung !!!

“Ugh…… ?!”

Jibril is heard startled and retreats behind her. And in response, she quickly recasts her magic but-.

It was a meaningless action anymore.

Quang!

“Yes?!”

Even if we call it magic, it is ultimately a technology created by humans. That identity is ultimately about energy.

It means that even if I try to do something, the energy must reach me.

If I hit it like this with a hand filled with lightning, it means that it will have no effect on me from then on.

Jibril was shocked, but it was none of his business. Right now, I’m quite feverish.

-I sympathize with your past. I admit it. I don’t know everything, but even so, I can’t help but understand your anger.

I think about Jibril’s words once again. She looked at me and mentioned the ‘past’ several times.

‘That means there really is something in Dante’s past…….’

──What does that mean? What does that have to do with me?

Yes, it is a past that we cannot help but sympathize with. It does pique my interest. It’s something you can’t help but be curious about.

But.

‘That’s Dante’s past, not mine.’

I was really embarrassed that they were doing this using a future that had nothing to do with me as a justification.

At this point, I’m starting to feel jealous.

I wouldn’t know if this happened at a time when nothing much was going on, when there wasn’t anything to worry about. That’s not the case now, is it?

We don’t know what will happen to Aria right now, but she could be in danger right now.

…… Do I need to just quietly listen to what she says?

‘She could really die, she.’

We have been preparing to prevent it in the first place and have gone through a process to respond.

However, it was ruined by a fortune teller who suddenly appeared.

…… If the heat doesn’t spread, that’s Bodhisattva.

Quarrr!!

He struck down a thunderbolt, scattering the brain energy in both hands in all directions.

It’s safe to say that it’s almost like an expression of anger. But it didn’t matter.

“Wow…… !”

Jibril makes a surprised voice and hurriedly lowers his posture. It was natural since there was nothing I could properly handle except magic and astrology.

She knew full well that her fighting ability was almost non-existent…….

So she deliberately adjusted the path of her lightning so that it would just pass by rather than hit it directly.

To be honest, it was just a way to vent my anger. I guess this is revenge for holding me here like this.

“Ha… ….”

But, well, that’s enough. I know very well that there is no point in making more of a fuss.

Now was not the time.

I turned my head and looked back at the direction I had been looking at the last moment.

A small black energy rising like smoke from a fire. It was definitely an instrument.

And that meant that jihad really began to move at this moment.

“Why the f*ck, really.”

I spat out the heat that had not yet fully subsided in a curse and tore through my hair.

…… I had to move right now.

Thinking like that, I took a step forward. My guess is that this place is probably in the middle of Hummingbird Forest, which means it is already quite far from Building D, where the stadium is located.

There was no room. I had to move right away.

“Now, wait a minute!”

“… ….”

If Jibril hadn’t blocked my path, I probably would have run straight to her with all my might.

Because it had to be that way.

I calmly looked down at Jibril, who was trembling and glaring at me while holding the dagger.

“Where are you trying to go? Could it be that that black energy has something to do with you?!”

“… ….”

“Well, the answer…” … !”

Wow!

“…… Ah?”

There was no time to leisurely answer or anything like that. Again, that wasn’t the case.

But I still felt uncomfortable just passing by like this.

I spoke to Jibril, who was making a blank expression while putting my hand on my red cheek.

“Because we don’t have time, let’s talk briefly and quickly.”

“Nuh…… ?”

“I don’t know what future you saw. There was no plan like you said in the first place. But I don’t think anyone would believe me if I explained it, so that’s okay. Okay, just remember this.”

Jibril’s shaking pupils turned to me, and I spoke briefly as I had predicted.

“I don’t know what a f*cking future you saw, but I don’t even have time to worry about that. “I’m busy saving my friend who might die soon, so get out of the way.”

And just like that, he pulled up the thunderbolt. Now that I can activate my supernatural abilities according to my will, my physical abilities have probably been strengthened considerably.

I immediately stepped on the ground.

Quang!

I almost turn the ground over and head towards the center of the academy at the maximum speed I can achieve without difficulty.

I didn’t really look back.

*****

“… ….”

It hurts. It stung. And again, it felt tingly.

Jibril gently stroked my cheek and bit his lip.

I suddenly burst into tears and felt like tears would come out.

“What is this…?” . How….”

I don’t know. It was full of unknown things. At least that was true for her.

Why did things happen like this?

It was now impossible to head to the East with Dante, which was the original plan. That’s because the suppression failed.

However, Jibril couldn’t help but feel that the words he had heard a moment ago were digging deeper into his heart than the despair caused by his thwarted plan.

“I have to go save my friend…… ?”

Dante clearly said so. ‘I have to go save my friend’, he said.

It was something Jibril could not understand.

“…… Why.”

Why are you saying that? Why are you acting differently from the future you I saw…….

Unknown.

I don’t think we’ll really know.

“I don’t know anymore, I… ….”

Tap, knock-

In the end, tears flowed. Jibril was unable to properly suppress her emotions, and the tears that eventually escaped flowed down, moistening her cheeks.

…… If I could sum up her current state in just one word.

It was an extremely profound confusion.

“I don’t know, I don’t know…” . Why, what has changed like this… ! What did I do wrong… ?”

I know something has changed, but I definitely know something is wrong.

I don’t know its exact identity.

“Ugh, huh… ….”

In addition, what makes Jibril sad more than anything at this moment is.

“… Ugh… !”

She believed that she was doing the right thing, but she realized that maybe she was actually doing the wrong thing.

It is an inconvenient truth that I did not want to think about.
