6. Proof of Existence (5)
Suddenly, the body of the kicked woman flew through the air. Before her wide-eyed eyes could express her surprise, Leah had to complain of intense pain as she tumbled on the ground.
A gaze full of disbelief turned to the man.
Some of the passers-by could hear screams. It was because they did not know that there would be violence in the middle of the academy.
Even between siblings.
However, it was unusual that about half of the people had eyes that knew this would happen. It was a sight that well revealed what kind of person the man was leading in the academy.
“Ji, what are you doing now… … !”
“I told you to try it, Leah Percus… I am giving you a chance now.”
Walking around, the man kicked the woman’s body again.
Leah managed to raise her arm to block the blow. Even though I couldn’t completely offset the amount of shock that pierced my bones.
The girl’s body rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
My hair went white and I couldn’t react. Short screams and gasping were all Leah could react to.
Even the pain was faint.
The sky I looked up at in a daze was only blue. As if the current situation was a nightmare.
As Lia stumbled to her feet, the man took out the hatchet he was wearing around his waist.
As consciousness faded, instincts intensified. I felt the opponent’s intent to kill clearly, as if I could catch it in my hand.
get killed
That vivid fear licked Leah’s spinal cord coldly. The girl instinctively crouched down.
I didn’t even ask why.
However, Lia’s body, which had been shot off the ground, dug into the man’s arms. The body, which accelerated in an instant, possessed more momentum than expected.
I break my stance like this and attack the top.
The runway drawn by the unconscious unfolded like that. Leah just ran on it like an animal.
but the next moment.
Oh, while she was doing it, the girl’s body was spinning tight in the air.
The man seemed to grab his elbow, then waved his arm once as if dancing. Right after that, Lia was flying through the sky.
The immobile enemy was nothing more than a scarecrow.
After the man’s kick hit the girl’s body again, she stomped the ground several times, and several lightning bolts and sparks flew in her field of vision.
Lia, who had come to her senses, saw a man with a hatchet raised in front of her eyes.
Lia inadvertently burst out screaming.
“That, stop… aaagh!”
And a hatchet that slammed down.
Leah trembled and looked to the side. The blade of an ax that dug into the ground right next to his face was shining in a cold aurora.
The man’s heavy breathing could be heard. That meant he was excited too.
“Lea Percus… I hate you.”
It was dry and worn out, and only the floor remained.
A voice filled with light heat and regret fell. Like sprinkling water on cracked mud, the man poured out his dried-up sincerity.
“Please, don’t make a kid like that.”
After that, the man slowly got up.
The hatchet was pulled out with a bang and fell onto the man’s hand.
The audience was watching the man in silence. Even Celine, who was rushing to dissuade him.
The man had one last word.
“For the rest, look at that kid and let him do it himself.”
Those were the words he said as he passed Celine.
**
After all the talk, none of the four opened their mouths.
Celine slightly averted my gaze. Leto sighed as he wiped his face with both hands, and Lia was only weeping and weeping.
I was also at a loss for what to say.

Just hesitating, hesitating.
In a determined voice, I expressed my determination.
“… … Bring a drink.”
Everyone’s curious eyes turned to me. I just thought it was strange that he suddenly asked for a drink.
Leto was the first to notice my thoughts.
“Hey, Ian. I hope you… … .”
“How dare you touch my sister and run away?!”
With a bang, my fist filled with rage struck the table as if it would crush it. Celine and Lia then looked at me with startled eyes.
“I’ll go, I’ll go and find out…” no! I need to feed you a room. How could you assault our Leah?! Where is this frail kid going to hit!”
“No, that’s right!”
Leah didn’t even understand what I was saying, her eyes twinkling.
Anyway, it seemed that I was very happy that I was on my side.
“Scold me, brother! I was very sick!”
It was a yard where I even received support from my cute younger sister. There was no turning back.
I screamed as I gritted my teeth.
“Cancer, that’s it. So once you drink and pass out… … !”
“stop.”
However, my wonderful plan for revenge ran into obstacles from the very beginning.
Leto was looking at me with pitiful eyes.
“Think common sense. Didn’t the plan suffer from an unreasonable price last time? Anyway, every piece of information you give us from the future is precious to us. Even indirectly helps.”
“No, then be quiet?!”
“If you pass out again later, we’ll see each other face to face. You’re busy with work right now, so you’re going to mess things up because of your emotions?”
It was word for word.
Even so, I had to swallow the groan that I didn’t fully understand. I understand rationally, but not emotionally.
It was an incident in which my sister was beaten.
It wouldn’t be strange if he ran right away and punched him. No, even if I use a knife, wouldn’t the heavenly gods understand?
The older brother who had beaten his younger sister to that extent had to be insane to be normal. I was no exception to that.
Lia, who had been excited, was watching Leto and me as she lost consciousness.
I don’t know the details behind it, but it seems that I have noticed that there is a loophole in my plan.
In the end, Lia timidly corrected her opinion.
“Your brother Leto is right, brother.”
“Leah… … .”
Having lost my last ally, my shoulders fell weakly.
An older brother who couldn’t protect his little sister was worthless.
Even so, my sweet little sister even comforted me in my incompetence.
“Come to think of it, it is not wrong. Because I’m weak… You can’t walk around recklessly. It’s not like Ian oppa will be by my side for the rest of my life… … .”
Then, Lia glanced at me. I immediately denied that.
“What do you mean, Leah… Why can’t I protect you?”
“But, you have to stay by my side for the rest of your life?”
“Sure! No, I’d rather have you by my side forever. Understand?”
“Gee, really?!”
Lia’s eyes started to twinkle again, perhaps feeling better at my words. When my sister’s face turned red, my heart naturally felt at ease.
“Yeah, of course not. Even if it wasn’t, I was just anxious. There’s a story that the Dark Church is against me these days… No matter how much the academy was concerned about your safety… … .”
“It’s very cheap.”
It was an irritating tone I hadn’t heard in a long time.
The narrator was obvious at least. It was Celine, her lips sticking out with her chin resting.
“Brother Ian, are you an idiot? So, you’re going to take Leah with you wherever you go? He said he had to go to Seongguk next week.”
I kept my mouth shut at that point.
Come to think of it, it was. Anyway, the place I went to was a place where all kinds of dangers lurked.
Would it be right to take Leah to such a place?
The reason I went to Seongguk was for volunteer work. However, as long as the letter from the future arrived, the future, where an incident occurred somewhere soon after, was an established fact. There was no guarantee that the place was not the Holy Land.
Come to think of it, I should hurry up and read the letter.
While I hesitated, having not yet read the contents of the letter, Lia instead spoke up with disgust.
“Seongguk?! I have to go there right now! I decided to take over the demon corpse.”
“No, no matter how… … .”
“Brother, I want to follow you too! We’ll hire mercenaries too, so don’t worry too much!”
Celine kept her mouth shut with a look of disapproval at Lia’s insistence.
Golden eyes and tan eyes turned to me at the same time.
with opposite expectations.
However, my answer was as if it had been decided.
“… … Alright Leah. Let’s go together. If it’s a holy kingdom that I have to go to anyway, it would be better for me to be with you.”
Sighs and cheers crossed my decision.
I haven’t given permission to the saintess yet, but Lia is my sister. It was enough if he said that he wanted to bring his own family as much as he met the saintess’s family.
I just didn’t know
After leaving Lia and Celine and talking with Leto, I returned to my bedroom and opened the letter.
Then my eyes suddenly scanned the back of the letter.
There, as always, scribbled words were written.
‘Be careful of your family.’
A warning that I wish I had read a little earlier.
