I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy chapter 247

Tia was falling.

It was because he devoted everything to attacking to kill Gentilis.

The results matched.

Still, it was a lot easier than expected.

That’s enough. He did everything he could.

It was a perfect victory against an outrageous monster.

This is a satisfactory enough achievement.

“I’m sorry.”

However, the words that came out of Tia’s mouth were words of apology.

He said he would return to Spina.

I told Oz that I would jump over it.

But the result is this. Nothing had changed.

She couldn’t get over death. There will be no going back to Spina.

“sorry.”

poured everything

sacrificed Even so, Tia couldn’t help but feel sorry.

“Sorry… … .”

Tears flowed. I didn’t know why.

I couldn’t tell if it was because I was afraid of dying or because I was sorry.

“ah… … .”

Tia thought as she watched the ground get closer.

‘Polymorph… … . At least if it doesn’t go back to normal.’

The only thing that came to mind in a tense situation was the idea of minimizing the damage.

If it fell on the empire in the form of a large dragon, the damage would be great.

transcendental magic

[Polymorph]

The last magic that she unconsciously spread was a magic for others.

bang!

After hitting the building, Tia rolled across the floor as if she was being bounced off.

My eyes are blurry.

His head was so dizzy that he couldn’t even tell whether he was lying down or leaning against something.

“… … .”

Tia was so dazed.

There was nothing I could do, so I was just waiting for the time to die.

‘Maybe I’m a little lonely.’

Tia thought that way as if she wasn’t sure.

He hated the feeling of desolation that fell across the empire. That’s right, if it landed near ＜Skientia＞… … .

If so, I might have seen Spina for the last time.

“hahahaha… … .”

I didn’t want to die either.

I hated being alone.

I hated this silence so much.

I was determined, but when that moment came, there were so many regrets.

I wanted to show more things to Spina. I wanted to see the naughty students graduate.

Also new students.

A lot of things that had to be done and a lot of things to be faced in the future.

Every one of them was so sad.

The regret turned into tears and overflowed.

“uh? Are you crying?”

“… … .”

“It’s a behavior that suits the appearance, but it’s really messy seeing it like that.”

A voice was heard.

The person she had longed for had come to find her.

But listening to that voice only angered me.

“what… … .”

“What do you mean?”

“No, what are you really doing? this bastard.”

Tia opened her eyes slightly, even though tears were dripping down her face.

What the hell is he talking about when he appears at this exquisite, ghost-like timing?

“hahahaha… … .”

I was lonely and unfair in the world until just now… … .

Tia regained her normal self at the sound of Oz’s voice.

The tears still didn’t know how to stop, but the eyes were clearer.

“sorry.”

As usual, I tried to curse at him once, but the words that came out of Tia’s mouth were words of apology.

know. she knows Thanks to whom we were able to get the time to have a conversation like this.

“What are you sorry about?”

“After making a lot of promises, it’s like this after all, isn’t it? You must have called Kang Chul and Old Harbart as well. After all, I couldn’t twist the future you saw.”

“No, it has changed. In the future I saw, I wasn’t even in a state where I could have a conversation like this.”

“Oh yeah? That sounds very comforting.”

Tia let out a sigh.

I can’t keep up with the atmosphere. The bastard in front of me is acting too carelessly.

In the end, Tia spoke in a light tone as if she had given up on setting the mood.

“How did you convince them?”

“Kang Cheol-nim was surprisingly willing to listen. Oh, and Harbart-sama doesn’t know.”

“You don’t know? Then, what did the nobleman come for?”

“I don’t know.”

Oz shrugged his shoulders as if he really didn’t know, then got down on one knee and sat on the floor.

He was making eye contact with her, who was having a hard time even raising his head.

Oz made eye contact with Tia and smiled.

“No matter how much I do, it is impossible to bring in people I do not know. Isn’t it the academy’s benevolence?”

“I never thought the word benevolence would come out of your mouth… … .”

“This is an overestimation. Didn’t I just run like this?”

“Oh yeah?”

Tia held back a sneer as if it wasn’t even funny. In the middle of such a usual conversation.

Tia bowed her head.

“thanks.”

“Yes.”

The feeling of loneliness had already disappeared. The secret beauty she tried so hard to maintain has long since disappeared.

The opponent was making his daily life with his usual attitude.

It’s as if even the laugh that jumps out of the absurd is considered laughter.

I made myself a laughing stock.

“Oz.”

“Yes, head of the academy.”

“Isn’t that it?”

“I’m not a dragon, so I don’t know unless you clarify the subject.”

Tia giggled at Oz’s usual way of talking, biting the tail of his horse.

“I don’t trust humans.”

“Is that so?”

“But if you distrust humans, that’s not the case either.”

“You have no backbone.”

“no it’s not?”

Tia raised her head again.

There were no blurry eyes.

Not even tears flowed.

Instead, she was looking straight at Oz with her eyes even more burning than usual.

“… … .”

No matter how Oz was, he couldn’t create a ridiculous look in front of those eyes.

I couldn’t be a laughing bell.

“oh… … . Head of the academy. for a moment… … .”

For some reason, Tia grabbed Oz’s hesitant hand.

Oz couldn’t move his arms from the heat that those little hands contained.

It was an exceptionally warm hand.

“I used to believe in humans.”

500 years is a long time.

Compared to dragons, this is a very young age, but compared to human history, it is an absurdly long time.

And she lived with humans for most of those long years.

The humans she saw in that time were multicolored beings.

“They are good, they say they can burn their whole life hot. I believed so.”

There were those who simply looked at her childish appearance, cared for her, and gave her unmerited kindness.

“But it wasn’t. If there are good people, there are also bad people.”

On the other hand, there were those who realized her power and tried to trick her to use her somehow.

“There are people who burn their lives hotly, and there are people who, on the other hand, live like dry branches.”

There was someone who challenged reality.

There were also those who were frustrated in front of reality.

“Every person is different, so there are many times when faith doesn’t produce results.”

“Shouldn’t you have trusted something to believe in?”

“I mean.”

Tia growled. But the heat in his eyes did not disappear.

Oz waited for her words. I wanted to hear her conclusions.

Tia spoke her conclusion calmly with a serious expression.

“So I decided to believe in the potential of humans, not humans.”

Anyone can be a bad person, and anyone can be a good person.

Even humans who lived like dry branches could light a flame.

“I decided to believe that.”

The result was ＜Skientia＞.

She decided to give her knowledge for the human potential she believes in.

“So how was it? Were you able to repay this trust?”

“then. Everyone reciprocated my trust. It showed me the possibility that anyone can do that. What… … . There were some guys who weren’t, though.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, there were a lot of guys who weren’t! But do you know what I thought whenever I saw those guys?”

“What did you think?”

Oz asked calmly.

Meanwhile, Tia’s body began to grow cold enough to contradict the flow of blood.

Oz grabbed Tia’s hands as she awkwardly stroked his hair as usual.

It was a small hand. No one has noticed that until now.

“I thought I was still immature. That’s why I couldn’t make them bloom, so I thought I should try harder.”

“… … The head of the academy has already done his best.”

There was so much baggage on those small shoulders.

It was like that even at this moment.

Tia was still carrying the heavy burden of being the ‘protector of the world’.

“That’s normal, man. I did my best more than anyone else. huh? Do you think I am the head of the academy?”

“But you didn’t play around too much, did you?”

“It’s not? If I think about the time I have lived, I have more time to work. If you twist it, you will live for hundreds of years.”

“You are acting like a child.”

“That is my charm.”

Tia burst into laughter. Between those laughs, blood mingled with them.

And her laughter faded away as if submerged in water.

“By the way, Oz.”

“Yes.”

“Are you listening? Please answer me.”

“Yes, I am listening.”

Tia screamed as if she couldn’t hear anymore.

Perhaps out of consideration for her, Oz gave the same answer over and over again.

“I believed in humans in the past, and until now I have believed in human potential.”

Took.

Tia threw a fist at Oz. It didn’t hurt. It seemed like he was just trying to convey something.

“So after this.”

Consciousness blurring. On the other hand, the eyes that seemed to be contrary to him were clear.

“I will trust you.”

It was brighter than ever before.

“Do you think I deserve that kind of power? Do you think you can become someone who protects the world instead of the head of the academy?”

“Yes, of course not.”

Tia shouted.

It was a voice full of strength.

“It doesn’t matter who deserves it or who has more chances. The important thing is that I chose you and not anyone else.”

“Yes… … .”

That’s it.

I could hear the answer.

I’m sorry that I seem to be burdening you, but thanks to you, I was able to feel relieved.

She believed in humans.

I believed in human potential.

And now. At the end of life, I believe in the existence of one person.

“Then I will rest now. I don’t think I’ve ever had a proper rest because I was thinking about this and that until now.”

“Yes, I understand. Head of the academy. Thank you for your hard work.”

Oz smiled.

It was a believable smile.

Tia was able to let go of Oz’s hand that she was holding on to as if she was relieved only after seeing that smile.

* * *

To be honest, I was a bit perplexed.

I didn’t expect my arm to be caught the moment I tried to take out the elixir in my arms.

Moreover, even though everyone was dying, they were stronger than me.

The atmosphere is a bit… … . It didn’t look like he was going to die right away, so I listened to the story for a while.

what to say about this

It was a bittersweet feeling.

after hearing that story. It was when I lifted it up to feed the elixir to the fallen Tia.

“It’s strange to say this now, but… … . It is very light.”

Tia was light.

It was really light as a feather. With such a small body, he had been carrying that heavy burden until now.

“Thank you for your effort.”

She has lived most of her life as a guardian of the world. I was willing to shoulder the burden that I did not have to shoulder.

It wouldn’t have been for a noble reason. It probably wasn’t meant to be like that in the first place. He just worked hard for the things he had to bear.

She was indifferent to human affairs, as if all she had to do was protect her nest.

However, when the world itself was in danger, he always stepped forward.

Why is that?

She was more remote than I thought, so she even embraced the world.

“Thank you for protecting the world until now. Head of the academy.”

She had too many things to keep. I was under too much pressure.

With all that burden, he protected the world from an unprecedented threat.

If so, shouldn’t it be the world to repay her for working so hard for the world?

“So this is a reward.”

I took out the elixir.

How much effort have you put in for this one bottle?

There was a noble sacrifice by Salem who gave up his own life and handed over the fruit of the World Tree for me.

End Lord worked hard day and night to refine the fruit.

There was Justitia who took risks to buy that time.

There were Kang Chul and Harbart, who burned their lives to prevent her from dying.

“As you have been working hard for everyone in the world, this time it has become a world where everyone will protect you.”

Yes, this is not the result of building on my own.

It is the result of the efforts of everyone in the world. It is everyone’s wish.

“And me too.”

She now has to put down the heavy burden she was carrying on her shoulders.

“I will be the world for you.”

She has lived in loneliness for 500 years. Even in such a life, I worked hard for others.

And the reward for that loneliness was only recently. Yes, her family was born recently.

“Don’t leave Spina’s side anymore. The loss of a family member… … It’s pretty painful.”

She is no longer to blame, but to be paid for taking on responsibilities that she did not have to bear.

And have other responsibilities.

Responsibilities in the name of family.

“So, from now on, I will shoulder the heaviest burden that the head of the academy has been carrying.”

I pour the elixir into Tia’s sleeping mouth.

[Long Emperor], who had the title of guardian of the world, has now retired.

So the girl sleeping in my arms right now is just that.

really light.

The sleeping figure is surprisingly cute.

The academy head of ＜Skientia＞… … .

“Now let’s go back. Miss Spina is anxiously waiting for her ugly sister.”

She is just an older sister who cares for her younger brother.
