I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 65

65 – Execution Ceremony and Funeral

Reina climbed onto the stage, retaining her appearance as she was when she was alive.

Of course, it was physically impossible for her to look like this.

She had already died 40 years ago, and her body was so damaged that it was difficult to recognize her body.

‘I had a hard time.’

However, as a result of everyone’s efforts, they were able to successfully restore Raina’s appearance.

Through Elena’s various techniques, Reina’s damaged body was restored, and through Isabella’s ‘unholy predation’, pure thoughts from which hatred and resentment were removed were engraved on the body.

“You dishonored the noble sacrifice of border guards and drove the families they risked their lives to protect. “Because of your ugly survival instinct that betrayed the spirit of knighthood, many people had to face an ignominious death in the cold snow.”

As a result, Reina was able to stand in front of them as her original self, rather than as a demon consumed by anger.

As a result of everyone’s combined efforts, they succeeded in bringing the dead back to life.

‘It’s not perfect, though.’

Of course, she did not completely survive.

The moment she takes revenge on the Kroto trio, her thoughts will disperse and disappear, and the body restored by Elena will also return to her original form once the effect of her magic is over.

In other words, her appearance now is nothing more than a fleeting illusion, alive only for this moment.

‘But that’s enough.’

But even if it was only for a moment, it was enough.

If only we could decorate the end of her life as a madwoman beautifully.

Rather than just tearing the Croto trio to death to vent their anger, if we could punish them on behalf of the victims who died unjustly based on legitimate grounds and reasons…

‘It can change.’

The dwarves will finally be free from the nightmare of 40 years ago.

The human female knight who desperately loved a dwarf will become their eternal muse, and humans and dwarves will be able to resume their relationship.

And the bond between the two countries will one day become a major variable in preventing a coming disaster.

“f*ck… Oh, a b*tch who left a long time ago… How did she end up here…?”

At that time, Arjie, one of the Croto trio, spoke.

He looked around at the dwarves glaring at him and shouted as if struggling.

“This is a conspiracy!! I was a noble knight who protected your kingdom! Receive the respect of the empire—!”

─Whoa!

A moment.

Reina’s sword, which traces an instantaneous trajectory.

“Huh!?”

Boo! Arjie’s tongue flying through the air, along with splashing red blood.

“Quaaa!!”

Eventually, Arjie covered her mouth and screamed.

However, Reina said while glaring at the guy with aloof eyes.

“Those three words plunged my husband’s country into darkness.”

“Ouch! Khuuure!

“And—”

Shut up!

“Quaaa!!!”

“Those dirty arms cut down her husband’s companion on a noble mission.”

Reina said so and brushed aside her sword.

It was to scatter the blood on the knife.

“Also-“

However, this did not mean that execution would be stopped.

Rather, it was a preparation for full-scale punishment.

-Scream!

“Turn it off─ uhuhuhuh…”

“The bridge that should have been firmly rooted in the defense line fled to a space for the weak only for your own safety.”

Hook!

“Huh! Ugh…Khuuhuh…”

“And those mean eyes just watched my husband’s neighbors and colleagues until they met a miserable end.”

Arjie’s tongue, arms, and legs were cut off in an instant, and he became blind.

At this, Croto and Eguwa began to urinate.

They were respected knights of the empire, but they showed indecent behavior by urinating and lying.

‘Is it time for me to step forward?’

However, I had to step in at this point.

If we leave it like this, Raina will finish everything before the main event can be presented.

“Raina. “Hold on, I have some news for everyone.”

After going on stage, I held out the magic sphere I had prepared and said so.

Then Reina nodded her head once and held the tip of her sword toward the ground.

Once I got up on stage, I activated the magic spell engraved on the magic sphere and displayed a video on the large screen.

The princess’s face appeared.

“Meeting Her Highness the Princess.”

And then, as if we had made an appointment, our group knelt before her and had an audience with the princess on the screen.

Only the three dwarves and Croto stood there dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of the princess.

[Yes, Edgar Fix. Have you completed all the missions given by your wife?]

At that time, the princess with a blunt expression asked with her red magical eyes shining.

I still knelt down on one knee before her and lifted her head slightly to answer her question.

“Yes. After arresting the criminals Croto, Eguwa, and Arjie, preparations were made to carry out their sentences. “

[····Well done. So that would mean that His Majesty the King of the Dwarven United Kingdom is also there.]

“Yes.”

I said that and stood up.

Then he lifted the magic sphere so that the Dwarf King’s face could be seen.

Then, with her elegant gesture, the princess slightly bowed her knees and head to bow to the Dwarf King.

[Nice to meet you. This is Sephilia Ulysseus Kindel von Orserk, the princess of the Orserk Empire.]

Sephilia, the emperor’s only daughter and the strongest bloodline who inherited the power of the Demon Eye.

When she introduced herself through her screen, the dwarf king’s frozen expression returned.

A rough understanding of the situation has been completed.

“Nice to meet you, Princess Sephilia. “This is none other than Magrian Azaghal, the king of the Dwarf United Kingdom.”

Magrian introduced himself and asked for an explanation of the situation.

Then the princess smiled and began to explain what had happened.

[Actually, all of this was done by Edgar Fix a month ago…]

To summarize, the circumstances of the incident were as follows.

Approximately three weeks ago, after discovering the secret of the magic sword, I reported this to the princess through Elena.

Accordingly, the princess used the imperial family’s ‘shadow’ unit to completely uncover the corruption of the three count families, and was able to secure all of their crimes and physical evidence in advance.

It was to thoroughly punish those who ruined the diplomacy between the Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom.

[So, the main woman confiscated a total of 17 secret ledgers and illegal assets worth 27.5 Billion Orden…]

And the corruption and injustice they committed was enormous.

We were able to find traces of their children’s generation also committing all kinds of corruption and injustice by punishing their parents.

In the first place, they were closer to charlatans than knights, and had an extraordinary talent for deceiving and deceiving others, so they were able to accumulate enormous wealth through all kinds of scheming tactics.

[Accordingly, the imperial family decided to deprive the criminal of all status and property. All the wealth they have accumulated illegally will be delivered to the Dwarven United Kingdom as a consolation prize, and the Empire also expresses strong regret over this incident and will seek additional compensation measures.]

After the princess said that, she revealed in detail what punishment the descendants of the count would receive.

She said that for children who commit the greatest sins, she plans to torture them for a month and then completely block their magical powers and reduce them to the status of slaves.

Of course, the punishment varies slightly depending on the nature of the crime, but as a person inherited status from a parent who committed infidelity, being sentenced to slavery was a common punishment.

[You took up a lot of time at the most important moment. The results of the punishment will be sent to you in a later letter. Then, the main woman will just leave.]

With those words, the princess shut down her communication.

And the dwarves who listened to everything she said were looking at the Croto trio with calm eyes.

This is because their anger has subsided to some extent, as everything they have built throughout their lives has been ruined.

“aaa… aaa… aaa…”

And the Croto trio was sobbing and pounding their chests.

Like Reina, who was sobbing over the loss of her beloved husband 40 years ago, they too were crying with their faces covered in tears.

“·····That is the sin you committed against me and against my husband’s neighbors and friends. “Your ugly actions have torn the hearts of thousands and thousands of people.”

“aaa… This can’t be reality… Ahhh… Ah…”

In such a calm atmosphere, Reina stood in front of Kroto and Eguwa.

Arjie, who was blind with her arms, legs, and tongue cut off, was being treated by Elena just enough to keep her from dying.

“Only my son… Please only my son… That guy…”

“Me! I was wrong! Please just this once! Please forgive me just once…”

They grabbed Raina’s steel boots, praying for her both hands.

Reina said with a grin.

“Isn’t it hopeless? “Even though someone you love is dying, you have no choice but to watch.”

“uuu…”

“You all should feel the same. “Die in despair, repeating the name of the person who could not protect you.”

Reina said that and slashed Croto and her egu and her arm, who held on to her own steel boots.

Successfully, they cut off their legs and amputated their limbs.

“Feel the drying death.”

Then, they hung them on a wooden plank as they were struggling, with only their bodies remaining.

The wooden plank was fixed on a heat preservation technique and left to burn in the high temperature.

“Quaaa!!! Haaa!!!”

Their painful screams continued for a while.

However, in the meantime, the scene of their children being tortured was playing on the magic sphere in front of their eyes.

They are being punished for the injustice passed down to them from their parents.

“Geuhuh… Uhuhuhh… Billion….”

In that way, the Croto trio met a miserable death.

All the dwarves, including Rayna, watched the entire process with heavy eyes.

It was the moment when the long-standing pain that had accumulated over 40 years finally melted away.

-Boom!

But at that moment, Raina’s body swayed and she fell to her knees.

As the purpose of the thought form of ‘revenge’ has been fulfilled, the meaning of existence is no longer lost and memories and emotions are scattered.

“Reina.”

In response, Magrian, the current king of the Dwarven United Kingdom and Dagran’s older brother, approached Rayna and supported her.

Then Reina looked at him with her half-closed eyes and said.

“··Sorry… “I failed to protect Dagran.”

Raina continued her words with difficulty, panting as if she would soon run out of breath.

Mag Lian looked at her with her reddened eyes.

Then he shook his head and said.

From noble mtl dot com

“No. You did your best. “Your heart has reached us.”

“······.”

Raina nodded her head slightly.

She lifted her head with difficulty and spoke her next words.

“Then… please bury me next to my husband… The world that wasn’t next to him… was so cold…”

A single tear flowed from Magrian’s eyes.

He promised that he would and nodded her head.

Reina smiled brightly and mumbled her last words.

“Dagran… Finally… To your side…”

And then, she just collapsed.

The thoughts that had fulfilled their purpose were scattered.

-Sigh.

Dagran lifted the fallen Rayna.

Then she turned her body and spoke to the dwarves looking at her.

“I will give you a state funeral.” Dagran… He wants to see his wife quickly…”

***

Afterwards, a national-scale funeral was held.

Numerous dwarves poured into the streets and prayed silently as Rayna’s coffin was being carried.

She was finally able to express her official respect and mourn the stigma attached to her as a madman who massacred her own people.

However, the dwarves were not just sad.

Rather, it was a face that had shaken off all the anger of the past and regained their pride and faith.

Not the cowardly Dagran, but the noble Dagran.

Raina is the owner of the holy sword, not Raina the madman.

Because the couple of the century they loved the most has finally regained its original meaning.

“···I suddenly become curious. Who planned all this and restored our self-esteem? “Are you a princess?”

After Raina was buried next to Dagran.

Magrian asked that while looking at Raina’s tombstone.

And Elena, standing next to him, also answered while keeping her eyes on Reina’s tombstone.

“·····Edgar Fix. Changing her demon sword into a holy sword, returning Reina to the way she was when she was alive, and eradicating her family of sinners all came from her head.”

“······.”

After hearing the answer, Magrian calmly nodded his head.

Then, after thinking deeply about something, he immediately raised his head and said.

“This exhibition.”

“·····?”

“In fact, the ‘Return of Honor’ submitted by Edgar Fix does not meet the review criteria. After all, that holy sword is a weapon made by my younger brother, Dagran.”

Why are they suddenly talking about the exhibition?

Elena was inwardly embarrassed by the Dwarf King’s intentions, but she calmly nodded her head in response.

“···Yes. I know. This is not a work I submitted with the intention of winning an award in the first place. Is this still a disqualification?”

“That’s right.”

“······.”

Elena lifted her eyebrows as if she was a little disappointed and regained her appetite.

Finally, she nodded her head roughly and turned her gaze back to her tombstone, and the King opened his mouth.

“But…”

“···?”

“Isn’t it safe to say that all the dramas and narratives that Edgar Fix presented on stage were one piece of work?”

“······.”

“So, I would like to give you a special award and title under my authority. Just like the last name attached to his name, the stage he showed us healed our broken hearts.”

The Dwarf King said that and looked at Elena.

Elena nodded her head with a small smile, looking into his eyes filled with infinite goodwill.

Soon, the Dwarf King revealed the title he would give to Ed.

“Salvation. “The work he submitted does not seek to determine the superiority of the object, so I will give it the title of salvation in the sense that it saved our hearts.”

“Blacksmith of salvation… It’s good. “It’s a title that suits Ed well.”

“Is that so? “Thank goodness.”

The Dwarf King smiled slightly as he said that.

However, what he wanted to give Ed was not just a title.

“However, every title comes with its own level of respect and benefits. However, since this is the first time that the title of Salvation has been granted, I plan to give this benefit to Edgar Fix.”

The Dwarf King said so and began to talk about the benefits Ed would receive.

And as he listed the benefits, Elena’s eyes widened.

If this benefit were really true, Ed could be treated almost like a ‘state guest.’
