I Became the Hero Who Banished the Protagonist chapter 115

115. Digging (2)

“I want to be taught separately by the professor.”

For a moment, forgetting that the title professor referred to me, I tilted my head and looked at Natalie. Natalie was looking at me with the eyes of a curious student. I slowly thought about what she was saying, and gave me a stupid look.

“There is not much to learn from this class.”

Natalie then spoke to me. For an excellent student to say this was exactly what a future graduate student would say. If I were really a professor, I would have given her secret lessons and enlisted her as a future slave, but unfortunately I am not a professor. I had no intention of causing controversy by treating someone in particular.

“It can’t be like that. I’m not a tutor, I’m an instructor at the academy. If you feel that my class is not up to Natalie’s level, feel free to revise it.”

“Then I have nothing to learn at all at this academy.”

Natalie did not give up and persistently asked me. I scratched my head in embarrassment and looked at her. I tried to think of a better idea, spinning my head around, and saw Eugene and Cora approaching Natalie. Eugene’s face looked absurd, and Kora’s face was stained red for some reason.

“You really have an unexpected corner.”

“Warrior… , No, the professor is in trouble. I know you’re good at it, but this isn’t it.”

Eugene and Cora said as they grabbed Natalie by the shoulders. Natalie was dragged behind them, holding on to them innocently.

“Sorry, Professor. This guy is so great. There is a big difference in level from the other guys, so I don’t think I’m satisfied with my last name.”

“It is a very difficult and helpful class for ordinary students.”

I thought about it, watching Eugene and Cora eagerly defending Natalie and making excuses for me. Natalie and the devil worshipers. Whether she had anything to do with them or not, she needed to get closer to get to know him… No, isn’t it time to cover the means and methods? I let out a deep sigh.

“Then how about doing this?”

The two people who were walking and the one who was being dragged stopped.

“A special lecture… , I will open a special lecture for students who think they need more teaching. We plan to provide more intense training in special lectures. Of course, the conditions are very strict.”

The three freshmen blinked their eyes at me. Cora, who was the first to come to her senses, had a bright color on her face. I approached the three who were withdrawing.

“Perhaps the criterion will be determined by whether you can hold out for more than 20 minutes in the barrier today. If you are at your level, I will try to think of training that you can follow.”

I left the two dumb-faced people alone and put the lecture materials in my bag.

“Okay, see you next class. Aside from Natalie, you two will also be participating in the special lecture, right?”

Cora nodded quickly, and Eugene gave a puzzled look.

“today… . It’s a training that’s more difficult than the actual practice.”

“It will be a little closer to the real thing. Today’s practice is not enough to be called a real match.”

Eugene’s expression contorted into despair close to despair. Cora had an expression of burning challenge, and Natalie looked at me with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

“Is Natalie okay with that?”

Natalie made an expression as if she had something more to say, but then shook her head as if she agreed. No matter how I thought about it, those eyes didn’t look like those of a heretic worshiper.

“yes. All right.”

I smiled bitterly and left the classroom with the three of us behind. I could hear the three freshmen standing in a daze discussing the upcoming special lecture.

“… .”

Nella Tarr stared at the warrior walking down the aisle. I thought he would be at a loss as he became a lecturer, but Illroy was adjusting to life at the academy better than I thought. Even if it was difficult for the freshmen to see the warrior’s face, they greeted them steadily, and the warrior who accepted the greeting had a rather caring face.

“… That guy’s personality wasn’t like that.”

Aside from being smirking, he wasn’t the kind of guy who could treat people that kindly. Nella frowned and looked at Illroy. These days, when I wake up, I seem to keep my eyes on him. I’m not some kind of unrequited girl. Nella stuck out her tongue in disgust.

“Don’t go unnoticed… .”

It was embarrassing to run into each other. Although Illroy’s attitude toward Nella had changed a lot naturally in the weeks, Nella’s attitude toward him hadn’t changed. I wished I hated you more.

“You’d rather look down on me.”

Let’s stop forgiving this guy. I wonder if it doesn’t matter now. Nella crushed the feeling of raising her head like that. I tried like crazy to make the hero regret letting him go. I couldn’t nod my head saying that I understood the hero’s actions now.

“Annoying guy.”

If you understand it, it will be like admitting that you are really useless in the hero’s party. Because it turns out that it was not enough to stay in the party. Nella’s last remaining pride wouldn’t let him.

ding.

The elevator reached the first floor, and the two professors got down after discussing it earnestly. Nella passed them with bored eyes, boarded the elevator, and pressed the eleventh floor. The door, which was about to close, suddenly stopped and opened at an unnatural speed.

“… what else are you?”

was a warrior The hero laughed, entered the elevator, and took his seat in the corner opposite Nella. That bastard is so damn tall that you have to look up no matter how high your heels are. Nella stared at the button on the elevator, annoyed at the trivial fact.

“Did you just get on without knowing what floor you were on?”

At Nella’s blunt question, Illroy looked at Nella with calm eyes. Nella turned her head away to avoid eye contact with him, but when she saw Illroy’s eyes in the mirror, her shoulders shook.

“Weren’t you going to observe?”

“observation… .”

Nella was about to nod, then swung around to look at Illroy.

“Are you going too?”

“I’m constantly receiving reports, but I can’t just see them with my own eyes.”

Illroy stared at Nella with those words. This was also a problem. These days, whenever Illroy came face to face with Nella, he would stare at her like a piece of art. Is that some kind of regret, Nella wondered about the hero’s heart.

I was just really curious about that.

“What you looking at.”

“I was wondering if you are living well.”

Nella turned her head away from Illroy, frowning.

“It’s none of your business.”

Unfortunately, the elevator never stopped on the way up to the 11th floor. Nella crossed her arms, glancing at him from time to time for not saying more in response to her pointy reply. Today, observation should be as far back as possible and not to say anything. Nella eagerly waited for the elevator door to open.

“I go first.”

Nella told him not to follow him and walked ahead of Illroy. Fortunately, Illroy did not follow her. Nella glanced back, as if she had no regrets, and then stepped forward again.

“… As you can see, the current path has not changed and is moving like a perfectly normal celestial body. At this rate, it will crash before the summer is over.”

About 15 minutes ago I decided to just shut up. Before starting the observation, Nella gave a briefing on the current situation with a face hardened like a plaster cast. What makes Nella more angry is the fact that the hero’s eyes, which had been lifeless, became as shiny as a student taking a class when he listened to his briefing. Nella blinked the hero’s turquoise eyes once and continued her explanation. As usual, a pink-haired wizard sat next to the hero.

“Today’s observation is also of the same significance. Re-deriving the speed of the comet’s movement and the timing of the collision. The closer the comet gets, the more accurate the date can be derived.”

All the windows in the observation room were open. spring night. The wind was still cold. Nella looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky. What was the constellation of spring like?

“Then, let’s activate the telescope and start observing. The observation screen is shared as a crystal in real time, so please pay attention to the screen on the right.”

After barely finishing the briefing, Nella returned to her seat and sat down. I had barely finished the briefing, but it seemed as if all the energy in my body was gone. Nella looked through the telescope, slowly turning her neck like a giant deer. The floating screen on the blackboard was showing a piece of the night sky.

“… Hey, flying with a long tail is the sixth disaster, right?”

The professor who attended the observation for the first time asked. Nella shook her head, stretched out her teaching tool, and pointed at the comet. The comet was flying through the stars at a very slow speed.

“Where would you not bump into? It could be a floating stone or hit by the moon.”

Nella sighed and shook her head.

“It’s not impossible, but if it’s catastrophic, and it’s certain to collide with our star, then the chances of the comet flying in and hitting something else will be significantly reduced. Just looking at the report on the fog right now, didn’t you say it’s close to a living being with a will?”

People were stupid. If you have a bad thing in front of you, you will try to avoid it somehow. Especially when it is difficult and difficult to resist.

“The point of collision will be as expected. It is not that difficult to predict because it is a comet that has been proceeding at a constant speed. summer. That will probably be around June.”

At Nella’s words, people murmured.

“What if that thing collides?”

“You are asking something obvious. Die. Perhaps all humans living on this planet will die.”

The sound of swallowing dry saliva could be heard from everywhere.

“Well, then, is there a solution? Is there any way you could think of something? Isn’t that what we’ve been observing for a very long time?”

“There are ways to think about it. Of course, professors will have to be very actively involved.”

The professors fell silent, and Nella tilted her head slightly to look at Illroy again, with a dazed look on her face.

‘… That’s his real face.’

The warrior’s face was bloody. While glaring at the comet like a wolf watching its prey, he stroked the sword he always wore around his waist. A cool energy flowed out, and Nella bit her lip at it. That mad hero seemed to be seriously thinking of splitting the stars. I’ve been aware of it since the battle with the Kraken, but the human called the hero is really insane.

“From the next observation, we plan to hold a conference that also serves as a disaster response meeting.”

While everyone was sitting quietly watching the approaching comet, Professor Edwin suddenly opened his mouth.

“How to deal with that comet, and what the expected aftermath will be. Until then, I hope you will think carefully and let me know your opinion.”

The observation meeting ended in a quieter atmosphere than usual. The hero and the wizard of the warrior party did not open their mouths until the end, then left the observation room while talking with each other with serious expressions. Nella followed the back to the end, then looked away again. The telescope was still pointing at the comet.

“I was looking at the hero.”

It was Edwin’s voice. No one was left in the observation room. Edwin was looking into the night sky with his naked eyes, not through a telescope.

“Did you say you hated him?”

In a meaningful voice, Edwin asked. Nella raised her head and saw Edwin staring at the night sky with cold eyes.

“huh?”

And, those eyes looking back at him gave off a mysterious aura that he didn’t know where.
