again… .
With every step he took, his light blue hair swayed unsteadily.
However, the two eyes on the pale complexion swayed more unsteadily than the sky-blue hair.
…So I couldn’t take my eyes off her for a moment.
The cadet’s face was in memory. I saw you for the first time yesterday, and I heard about your condition today.
‘I’m sure… the name was Karite.’
The car I was thinking about while looking at the cadets approaching in a daze.
again. again… .
As I continued to close the distance to the infirmary, several other figures reacted in surprise.
“Isn’t that cadet… the same cadet yesterday?”
“This is Karite Esildern. I’m sure he’s the cadet who disappeared with Cadet Han Chun-seong yesterday… .”
They reacted as if they were curious, but I had no choice but to speak first.
“Wait a moment.”
I don’t know why… but I felt like I had to accept that cadet first.
I wanted to ask what the hell happened with Cadet Han Chun-seong in the Ale Forest yesterday. The Karite cadet who had now come into sight did not open his mouth.
I heard that the first thing to do is to get some rest because you are suffering from extreme mental anxiety.
…although I don’t know how that cadet got here right now.
“I’ll go.”
i had to get
again.
I moved a few steps and greeted the Karite cadet.
Let’s stand in front of the cadet like that. The cadet, who had been walking anxiously, looked up in a daze.
“…”
Looking closely, I was speechless for a moment.
…The cadet’s condition was so miserable.
Shaggy hair, uneasy eyes, haggard complexion. How can a cadet like this walk around? It was to the point of doubting that the Karite cadets did not even have the proper manpower attached.
At that moment, the cadet Karite pursed his lips as if to open his mouth. Unknowingly, I spoke first.
“If talking is hard… you don’t have to.”
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just by moving his lips, Karite’s cadet showed how much he was struggling.
It was unknown whether cadet Han Chun-seong was trying to protect cadet Karite yesterday. But based on the information I heard, I thought maybe it was.
If Cadet Han Chun-seong was losing consciousness due to severe physical damage, Cadet Karite seemed to have suffered too much psychological damage even though he came to his senses.
“A cadet of Karite Esildern… right?”
Watching the cadet nod weakly at my words, I cautiously added my words.
“Now… are you here to see Cadet Han Chun-seong?”
Because that’s the only reason Karite cadets would come here.
nod
Strangely, I felt apologetic when I saw the cadet nodding weakly as expected.
“Currently, Instructor Adelia is displaying healing properties to the agar cadets. So I won’t be able to go in for a while.”
…pause.
In a daze at my words, he raised his head and cautiously reached out his hand toward the frozen cadet.
Seruk.
My heart was heavy even as I placed my hand on her slender shoulder.
I don’t know what happened yesterday, but the Karite cadet now doesn’t seem to have calmed down at all.
Rather, it seemed that the Karite cadet needed more rest. The time to calm down will not be enough right now… .
Even so, I couldn’t get the word out to Karite cadet to go back and rest.
Except for the secretly dispatched person and the instructor who was on site at the time, no one can approach the cadet Han Chunseong now.
“Karite cadet. Do you want to wait… together?”
Inadvertently, I said that.
At my words, Karite cadet nodded blankly.
And those lifeless lips that had been closed until now finally opened.
“……Yes. thank you.”
When I heard the voice that was too subdued through my mouth that was opened with great difficulty, I carefully rubbed the cadet’s shoulder and led him slowly.
“Instructor Carly… ?”
“It can’t be helped…”
Looking at the surprised people, I nodded slowly.
It was as one person said.
I thought that there could be a situation as unavoidable as now.
If we send the Karite cadet back like this, it will never be for the sake of the Karite cadet.
Sometimes there is a law that can’t be explained by the rules and laws.
…
Afterwards, the car waited in the waiting room with Karite cadets for Instructor Adelia to finish healing.
clap.
After an hour or so, the door to the infirmary opened.
“…The treatment is over.”
Looking at Instructor Adelia with a very tired expression, I didn’t ask for improvement.
Right now, Instructor Adelia’s eyes are gently curved. That alone seemed to put my mind at ease.
“You worked hard.”
“…You look very tired.”
again.
As I carefully led the Karite cadets who stood up together, Instructor Adelia asked me with a look in her eyes, but I cautiously shook my head.
I couldn’t explain in words about Karite cadets.
When I entered the infirmary under the care of Instructor Adelia, I was able to see.
Compared to before, the face of the cadet Han Chun-seong was noticeably livelier. And at the same time, my body reacted first.
snap.
“…Karite cadets!? it’s okay?”
I saw a Karite cadet whose hands trembled while being supported by me while spitting out words in a daze.
…I really couldn’t feel the slightest bit of strength in the cadet’s body.
Even so, I could see that the Karite cadet was just looking at the Han Chun-seong cadet.
again.
Soon after, the cadet Karite took a step forward, and I was able to retrieve the hand holding the cadet.
again. again… .
Watching the Karite cadet gradually approach the Han Chun-seong cadet… strangely, my heart ached.
“Whoa.”
“What the hell did the two cadets go through yesterday?”
…When the other instructor talked as if he couldn’t bear to go in anymore, I too let out a sigh.
“That’s for a cadet who’s conscious later… I’ll have to listen to it slowly.”
It seemed too harsh to ask about the situation right away, even to the Cadet Han Chun-seong who was not conscious right away, and even to the cadet Karite who was having a hard time even if he was conscious.
Even so, I definitely thought the two of them went through a big deal.
Absolutely… An unusual accident.
There was an existence that could never be forgiven.
‘I’m sure the beast wasn’t dead.’
If the Cadet Han Chun-seong had fully developed his power, it would have been difficult for even a few beings to receive it.
The concept of a skill that a cadet with Han Chun-seong wants to simply see as a cadet with a level 4 attribute. Because it was already far beyond the level of characteristics.
However, nothing but the two students could be seen in the space that appeared.
Then the beast is… obviously alive.
“…”
Seruk. He held back his heart as he held his hand.
***
Ever since she came to her senses, Karite’s mind was in a daze.
Neither hallucinations nor negative emotions bothered her anymore.
Even with the feeling of liberation she hadn’t seen in years, it was difficult for Karite to keep her sanity.
“……”
A strange feeling as if I wasn’t there.
But strangely enough, the memory of that moment came to mind clearly.
A space full of darkness.
A series of events that happened in it.
And even the bizarre voice spoken by the bizarre purple being he encountered.
ㅡhuman. No, we should call it Agar Castle.
—-It seems that you are not originally from this world. right?
—-You feel the same sense of difference as we do. It’s really strange to feel such a clear sense of heterogeneity in humans.
—-What a nonsensical sound!
ㅡ child. come here.
… …
Everything that was said all along did not make sense to me.
But what happened after that came to my mind very clearly.
‘Sacrificing Apostle Leteia… .’
Han Chun-seong had obviously called it that way, referring to the purple one.
Apostle… .
I saw everything through my eyes, which I couldn’t do anything in that space.
I could see Han Chun-seong, who continued to run into the apostle.
It is incomparable to what he was dealing with with the ghoul, and he is trying to stand up to the apostle while unleashing his mighty power.
It was blown away by a huge impact, injured, and rolled terribly on the ground. He even vomited blood and complained of pain.
Then, when I was being dragged away by the apostle, Han Chun-seong hit even more desperately.
On the way, when Han Chun-seong manifests his overwhelming presence and power. All the memories of that moment felt like a dream to me.
ㅡNightmare.
Yeah, I thought I was having a nightmare… that I don’t want to have again.
But I couldn’t forget the ending of that nightmare.
Even though all the memories of the nightmare remain, the last scene remained… so vivid.
The window completely turned into ashes and disappeared, and Han Chun-seong, who had collapsed on the ground, groaned in pain and vomited blood. .
ㅡCool!
So after I woke up, I couldn’t stay still.
Even though there were no more hallucinations or negative thoughts, my mind was more anxious and shaken than ever.
Because I saw Han Chun-seong die… .
Even if you think it’s a nightmare.
It feels like it’s real… .
I couldn’t stay still.
…
“……”
While staring blankly at the agaric castle that came into view, strangely, my vision blurred.
Han Chun-seong’s hand, now held in mine, was clearly warm.
So warm and soft warmth.
…that obviously meant he was alive.
Even though both eyes are still closed and those eyes are not open. I was satisfied nonetheless.
“Really… Thank God…”
As he opened his mouth, his voice was cut off.
A nightmare that ends in a terrible ending, because it’s not real.
Han Chun-seong is definitely alive in front of me like this.
‘Yeah, no matter what anyone says… .’
Han Chun-seong was alive and breathing.
And I didn’t want more than that.
“……”
Even though something continued to run down my cheek from the endlessly blurred vision… .
For the first time, I felt a tremendous sense of relief… My heart felt more stable than ever.
