202 – 40. Arthur
No matter how small the gate was, the girl couldn’t handle it alone.
It may be okay if you only deal with the monsters that come out of the gate, but entering the gate was extremely reckless.
The girl may have been wishing for death.
She lost the village people who were more like family to her, lost the specialness she believed in, and lost the reason to live.
The girl entered the gate and tore, exploded, and killed everything in sight.
But that too for a while. The girl, already exhausted, collapsed inside the monster, and it was at this moment that she sensed the terrible death that would soon come.
──A voice came from the sky.
So sweet……
…… Also, a beautiful sound.
*
“What are we talking about now?”
“…Well.”
The principal, who came out of the gate in a state of complete disrepair and on the verge of collapsing, sat down on a rock and looked at the sky.
At the same time, I was constantly muttering to myself.
──I am special. That’s how it should be. It must be like that……
“Is there something up there?”
“I can’t detect anything even with supernatural powers. Is it because this is a dream, or is it just like that…?”
If it is just a simple self-talk, you can assume that you have lost your mind at this point.
However, the principal was clearly having a ‘conversation’ even with his unstable mind.
──That’s right, I’m special. As you said, it’s definitely something special.
──…… Why are you saying that? Do you blame everyone? I can’t do that.
──This is all…… This happened because I failed to protect it. So, so……
“So…?”
──I, the village people…… I want to protect people who aren’t like me. Because that’s what a special person should do. Because it’s something I couldn’t do……
──You think I’m stupid? Doesn’t care. Because that is my decision. You agreed to listen, right?
──Promise, keep it.
The principal was covered in dust.
I managed to get out of the gate, but my whole body was covered in wounds, blood, and I felt guilty at the same time.
Those two eyes were shining with hope and determination.
“……….”
“……………….”
Rather, that was why Lucas and Lane could not look at the principal.
Because they knew the pure and untainted principal of the past and the current principal.
What will happen to that girl with a dream in the future?
I know…… Because there was.
*
The girl followed the voice’s advice, and the voice told her anything.
How to survive alone in the mountains. How to treat strangers. How to fight monsters.
And even the girl’s magic.
Surprisingly, the girl’s specialness was not a lie. Unfortunately, the village chief probably didn’t know the girl’s true specialness until the moment she died.
The girl…… Because he was a genius who will go down in history.
*
──I did it! I did it!
──Is it faster than you think? Of course! Because I am special!
Only one year has passed since the principal left the burned village.
Actually, it’s not the time to say it’s all. This is the time Lucas and Lane spent after entering the Romance Academy, and it was also the time they became friends with Namgoong Min.
But at least.
It’s hard to explain the sight before our eyes…… It was enough to say that it was at best.
“…Oh my god.”
It was burning.
Just like a year ago, when the principal’s village burned down.
At most, with the body of an 11-year-old.
The principal was burning an entire gate.
“…Oppa, is that possible?”
“If something like that was possible, I wouldn’t have spent years rolling around in an alley and trying to die.”
“Surprising…Yes.”
The gate that the principal burned was the size of a dream.
The entrance, which was almost 20 meters long, was completely burned to ashes.
Well, it’s not that big among gates, but it’s definitely not a small gate.
Who would be able to accomplish the feat of burning the entire gate?
‘It would be possible if we took action at the national level…….’
The principal who succeeded in conquering the gate is alone. She is at most 11 years old and has only been into magic for a year.
Lucas broke into a cold sweat again.
He is at that level even at the age of 11, but the principal has lived for over 100 years. How much stronger have you become during that time?
It was obvious that Lucas was not even a match for the principal. If it weren’t for , Lucas might have been burning like that.
The girl who talked about being special.
──If this is…… Can you protect everyone?
──I definitely received this special gift for him. I couldn’t protect the villagers, but instead.
──I will protect the world.
It was truly the most special thing in the world.
*
The girl entered an academy in a floating city. However, she couldn’t enter the academy at the age of 11, so she used magic to change her appearance and lie about her age.
Even there, the girl distinguished herself. And she realized.
Speciality is not just for girls.
There were people who were special from birth, called ‘special professions’.
But the girl was not frustrated. Because the girl’s talent was more special than anyone else’s.
The girl became familiar with special occupations.
I got along with everyone.
She
And she became the head of the Academy. She rushed towards the gate along with special professions and outstanding profession holders.
It was a happy day.
I didn’t know that the girl’s specialness was sky-high, and she grew endlessly.
But soon, the girl realized.
Among those who are so special.
The only ones who are truly ‘special’ are girls.
*
──Wake up! Wake up! You can’t die!
──…… I was wrong.
──Don’t talk nonsense! I won’t die, I won’t die!!
The principal seemed to have grown up.
Even though she was only 14 years old, the girl’s friends recognized her as a girl even after they found out about her age that she had been hiding.
With her as her leader, special professions and outstanding people from her academy formed her team.
In any situation, the principal displayed her special talent, and she was never in danger.
Not everyone was like that.
──Hector Oppa!! Wake up!!!
Hector was a 22-year-old young man.
She was the first to realize that the principal had lied about her age, and she was the first to listen to her situation and comfort her.
He was someone whom the principal deeply regarded as his own brother.
At the same time, he was a promising person with a special job called .
Now, he was just dying coldly in the headmaster’s arms.
──Why on earth! Why!!
──It’s not my fault…… !!
──Why did you run away! If only Hector had held on a little longer!
──I, I am not special like you guys! I’m just an ordinary job holder…… ! It’s normal!!
──Evaluation…… Tiger?
The principal’s anger was directed at a man.
He was a
Fortune teller who barely made a living…… He had a job and was special enough in the principal’s eyes.
Even if he was the weakest, he was a superman.
But he urinated in front of the monster and ran away.
Hector worked hard to fill that gap.
──Tens, tens of thousands. He was a person who could save hundreds of thousands of people! Hector was that kind of person!
──Oh, what should I do! I said this is why I don’t want to fight! Only b*tches like you should fight!
──…… Ha ha ha.
The fortune teller ran away, and the principal did not chase after him.
Because she wanted to save the world and all ordinary people. Because that was what special people did.
Was it because of his mood that the fortune teller’s back as he ran away overlapped with the villagers?
──Your dream…… Don’t lose…… Certainly……… World…… Second……
──Hector Oppa………
On that day, the young man whom the girl considered a new family member passed away.
But that is.
“……………….”
“……………….”
It was only the beginning.
*
The girl lost someone like her brother. That was just the beginning.
The special girl was safe, but her new family members died one by one.
A person who protects the weak, a person who buys time by fighting against monsters that cannot be dealt with, and a person who sacrifices himself.
It was a noble death. Although the girl was incredibly sad, it was an understandable death.
But.
A person who died after being betrayed, a person who took on an unreasonable battlefield when everyone else ran away, and a person who committed suicide after being framed.
There were so many ugly, terrible deaths.
After Hector died, the girl changed little by little.
She hasn’t given up on her first dream yet. That was Hector’s will, and it was the hope the girl had.
That’s why the girl.
Despised those who were born with special qualities but did not fight for the world. They were not considered special, and only special occupations that were special from birth were given preferential treatment.
Before we knew it, the girl was there.
I am no longer a girl.
*
“…This place.”
“Could it be……Artur’s mansion?”
The principal’s past flows as if watching a movie.
Lucas and Lane suddenly realized that they were in a familiar place.
There are certainly many different parts, but at the same time, there are also parts that remain the same.
Arthur Mansion of the past.
“Rain? It couldn’t be here….”
“……Over there.”
“What?”
“I…Ki.”
Lucas, who was embarrassed, sensed that the time had come. He quickly called her sister’s name, but Lane was already staring in one direction.
The place I looked around along the lane.
──…………
──Elegance……
There was a principal holding a baby in his arms.
He looked different from the principal. It seemed as if his appearance had been changed through magic.
But because they were in the principal’s lucid dream, they were able to see the real picture beyond the magic.
Beautiful garden, warm sunlight, lovely baby and mother.
It was a picturesque scene, though.
Unlike the baby, the principal was not smiling.
Rather, it was an extremely expressionless expression.
“…Mother?”
──Madam, it is time.
──Oh, really? What about Lucas?
──You are studying. My wife keeps saying that she misses me……
──…… Please tell me you’re sorry but you don’t have time. Because I have to take care of this child.
──Lady Lane said we……
──Go back.
──……… Yes.
When the maids retreated at the principal’s displeased order, only then was Lucas able to see Lane’s expression.
From Noble mtl dot com
Hey Lucas, he rarely saw his mother since he was a child, and he didn’t have any feelings, so it was okay.
Looking at her principal holding her baby…… Lane was shaking.
“Really…You’re a mother…”
“…Rain.”
“I thought you might not know until the end…! It’s true…It’s true…! But why…!?”
“Rain.”
“Why me? Why…!!”
Easy.
Rain’s Is overflowing. Little by little, her lucid dream begins to shatter around her.
Lucas urgently tried to stop her, but Lane, who was extremely angry, let out a few long breaths and calmed down her
Superpower.
“Le…In.”
“……First of all, let’s see. Since both Namgoong Min and Oppa said it…Let’s take a look.”
“Okay, I thought well…?”
Lucas, who was trying to somehow get closer to the true Reign himself, looked at her principal with strange eyes.
She smiled benevolently in front of her maids, but when she was alone with the baby again, her expression became expressionless and she raised one of her hands.
Support the lane with the other hand, and unleash magic with the raised hand.
“…Oppa, what is that magic?”
“……Crazy.”
“Oppa?”
“…Body transformation magic.”
“What?”
“To put it simply, my mother…Is currently conducting human experiments on you.”
At that moment, something black passed through Lucas’ head.
Something terrible and huge that gave birth to that spider-shaped monster according to the principal’s wishes.
At the same time, I also remembered the principal’s words.
‘Look at me…… I said it was a failure.’
The principal called that black thing a guardian, a savior.
If it was a success, he and Rain would also–
‘…… ‘f*ck.’
Lucas realized only then.
The reason is that the principal never saw him as a son.
And.
──…… Is it that same thing again?
──You’re here, you.
──Until the end…… You don’t call me by my name. I am Hector Arthur.
──…… Because I only have one name. So what’s going on?
──It’s obvious, you disgusting b*tch.
Hector approaches the principal and baby Rain.
I glared at the principal with infinite disgust.
──It would be better to do it in moderation.
──Why? When you married me because you had something to gain, this was our promise, right?
──As expected…… I’ve thought about it several times, but you are the worst.
── Are you the only one who married the worst and handed her child over to me?
The principal and Hector Arthur.
They were glaring at each other like that.
“……………….”
“……….”
With Lucas and Lane in between.
