The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 220

“It seems like it’s been a long time since we’ve talked face to face like this.”

As always, he said with a small smile, wondering if he was a real person.

Seeing this, Sbangali muttered quietly.

[Every time I see it, I can only admire it. A human-like homunculus… .]

“That’s right.”

“I heard that you are not feeling very well.”

Cass Lyle looked at him worriedly.

Although he knew he was a homunculus, a so-called artificial human, he could not find any sense of incongruity in him.

The instinctive disgust or rejection that he felt toward him at first because he had a branch of the World Tree was no longer felt.

Then, I don’t know if it’s a suitable modifier for a man, but his appearance, as if he wasn’t human because he wasn’t very beautiful, caught my eye again.

Very pale blonde hair and pure white skin.

Likewise, the light-colored eyes.

He was wearing big glasses, but it couldn’t hide his appearance.

‘By the way, I was able to freely change my gender.’

… As I went through the battle with Sbangali, I was able to recall some memories that had been deliberately forgotten by someone.

And among them, there was also a lot of information about Cass Lyle.

Cass Lyle.

One of eight playable characters, and the only homunculus.

Along with alchemy, it excels in many fields such as barriers, magic, curses, and restrictions, and specializes in support rather than direct combat.

Of course, there were Ahn Do-hoon, Lee Ye-eun, and Ivan Hunt as people who could support the allies, but in terms of support ability, it was impossible to compare with Cass Lyle.

Theoretically, if Do-Hun Ahn stands in front and applies the buff, Ye-Eun Lee gives the blessing of the world tree, Ivan asks for help from the spirit, and Cass Lyle provides all kinds of assistance with potions, alchemy, magic and barriers, it is literally an opponent to face. there is no… However, the relationship between Cass Lyle and Yeeun Lee was so bad that it was literally just a story that could only be theoretically possible.

This is because the branch of the World Tree, which can be said to be the root of Yeeun Lee, values the balance and flow of nature and is protected by spirits, while Cass Lyle, a homunculus, literally violated the laws of nature.

Other closely related figures include Alice Blesbuck, Isaac McDowell and the Big Watch, and among the Seven Evils, the person with the deepest connection to Milited.

The most important feature was that there was no penalty of death.

I’ve already seen a case similar to that.

That was the case with Jinjeong.

However, in the case of Jin Ye-jeong, he was an excellent alchemist and his ability itself was of a series of abilities that dealt with extremely rare minds and spirits.

He was also well aware that he was able to imitate him with the help of Evangeline Lohengrin, a ten strongman, and Alice Blesbuck, who did not deserve the title of Great Alchemist.

Wasn’t it difficult to realize even that properly and suffered a lot and settled in a body that was young and weak?

But he is different.

Even if Cass Lyle died, one of the numerous bodies he had made as a spare would wake up and move instead, and there was no cost required in this process.

If I had to pick it up, it was to the extent that I felt a little pain and discomfort in the process of moving my soul.

In addition, in preparation for numerous situations, there were bodies of various age groups such as boys, young people, and middle-aged people, as well as bodies that were excellent in hand-to-hand combat and bodies that were specialized in handling magical powers, etc.

Even the female body existed.

Homunculus originally did not have a gender, so it was a natural story in a way.

… However, Cass Lyle has always insisted on a male figure.

He pretended that the male figure was more comfortable than the female figure, but in fact, he probably didn’t even know that it was because of Alice Blesbuck.

and… .

“Ah, this is a visitation gift.”

“thank you.”

With a squeaking sound, he opened the envelope he was carrying.

Inside were piles of large and small glass bottles.

“You can give it to me.”

“Here it is.”

It was not difficult for Yuuna to accept it, which seemed quite heavy.

Cass Lyle said to her who was contemplating how to organize this.

“You can just leave it at room temperature.”

“yes. There, but these are… .”

“It’s nothing.”

Cass Lyle answered, still smiling softly.

“I heard that Jihyuk is not feeling well… I’m not good at it, but I worked hard on it. Potions that revitalize the body, boost energy, help you get a good night’s sleep… .”

He looked at Lee Yu-na, who nodded once, and turned his gaze to me.

“I will make it so that there are no possible side effects so that it will not burden the body. It’s okay for other people to take it, and I put all the instructions on the outside of the bottle.”

“Thank you, senpai. It’s a gift I never really thought of. I’ll be really grateful.”

“What?”

He waved his hand as if nothing really mattered.

“It must have been something bigger than that.”

Mumbling quietly, he closed his eyes slightly as if listening to him.

“Coming here, I met as many as two Sipgangs outside. The Great Witch and the Paladin.”

“Evangeline and Laura?”

“Yeah, those two.”

He nodded.

“And each of them took on one student and gave them some advice and training. The one who was being taught by the paladin raised their lance while fighting and was beaten.”

It seemed to be the story of Ahn Do-hoon and Ivan.

He knew that Ivan had Evangeline’s help during the attack on Minerva and that he often asked her for advice, but Ahn Do-Hun was quite surprised.

‘… Well, that’s a good way to go.’

To be honest, he was a mix of the fighting styles of Laura Hartmann and Ahn Joo-hyuk.

In fact, it was a car I was worried about because it had almost no contact with Cass Lyle, but I was glad that it seemed to be moving in the right direction.

“… … .”

… okay.

Looking back, Cass Lyle and I had very little contact.

To some extent, Cass Lyle was the only playable character and main character who did not participate in Minerva’s attack.

Even Ahn Do-hoon participated in the war at the very least, and it touched me even more when I think about bringing together Sipgang, Belluna, and Nam Hyeon-hwa, who would otherwise never have met.

There was no contact between him and me other than that it was an alchemy club and that he was a disciple of Professor Alice Blesbuck.

There must have been some things that he did not like to interact with others because of his personality or natural temperament, but the biggest reason was that Alice Blesbuck left the academy at a very early point compared to the original and was mentally driven.

By the way, he dared to come to the hospital like this… .

“It’s Yuna.”

“yes?”

“Would you mind checking if there is anyone but the door?”

At my words, Yuuna immediately opened the door and looked around.

Then he looked at me and nodded as if no one was there.

“senior.”

When I called, Cass Lyle was still smiling.

“Are you talking about Professor Alice?”

After that he was silent for a moment.

“I must have been too blatant.”

He let out a small sigh and nodded his head.

He even washed his face dry as if he was tired with a sigh that was more humane than before.

“That’s right, it’s about Professor Alice.”

“You can trust Yuna.”

At my words, Lee Yu-na cautiously opened the door and was about to leave, but she flinched and trembled.

I looked at her and nodded slightly.

Then, Lee Yu-na looked at this side with an expression that she wanted to say something and closed the half-open door again.

“… Okay, then what should I explain?”

He patted his forearm with a finger for a moment, drowning in trouble.

“I’m not going to say it back for nothing, I’m just going to say it openly from the beginning. Professor Alice has just returned home.”

At his words, I nodded quietly.

“But I still can’t move freely. There are still forces chasing after him.”

Neither did I know if the force behind her was the Big Watch, or if it was him or Milited’s children.

Maybe it was both.

‘I wonder if her real name is Alice Milited… .’

There was no way Jin Ye-seul could lie to me, so it must have been true.

Realizing that her words and deeds, which had just been blunt in the original, now make sense, I waited for his next words.

“He said he wanted to meet you.”

“Me?”

He nodded.

“Then there must be a way to connect the communication magic.”

“I have already told that story. But he said that you and I must see each other face-to-face. If you are worried, Lee Myung-joon added that you can sit with that person.”

“Did you say you had to see your face?”

“yes.”

“What the heck… .”

“I don’t know about that either. I wondered if you knew anything at all, but I guess you were the same as me.”

He had a sad expression on his face.

“What… It’s not that we want to meet right away in the first place, but most of all, Jihyuk isn’t in good shape for you. First of all, I asked you to tell me, so I came here on a whim.”

“haha.”

“I’m not feeling well, but if I stay for a long time, it will become a burden, so I’ll just leave. And if you ever need my help, feel free to… .”

As he was speaking, the door snapped open.

Thanks to that, Lee Yu-na, who was half leaning against the door, was startled and moved sideways as if she were falling over.

“… Why are you here?”

The person who opened the door was none other than Yeeun Lee.

As soon as she saw Cass Lyle sitting next to me, she let out a voice full of vigilance and hostility.

“… Do I need a grand reason to visit my juniors?”

Cass Lyle, too, responded to her with a sharp tone of the gentle atmosphere from the moment before.

Then, Ye-eun Lee smiled with a bad intention.

“My junior?”

“That’s right, my junior.”

Cass Lyle deliberately let out a low laugh and emphasized the word ‘my junior’.

It looked like she was provoking Lee Ye-eun, but she succumbed to the provocation.

“Ji-hyuk is ‘my little brother’.”

“okay? But what is it? I said that I was Jihyuk’s senior, but I didn’t even say a word about him as a hyung.”

“Tongue, bro… !?”

Ye-eun Lee closed her eyes tightly as if she was dizzy.

And after a while, he showed a smile that was kind enough to be contrived.

“I have something to share with Ji-hyuk right now, will you please stop?”

“Can I kick out a person who came to the hospital like this? A person who is also the head of a huge family.”

“I’m here to tell Jihyuk’s, family, important, story.”

Ye-eun Lee said in a threatening manner, slicing and cutting words one by one.

Then, Cass Lyle, who was not hiding her dislike for the other person, nodded and got up from her seat.

“Yeah, if that’s the case, then we should just go.”

Unexpectedly, Cass Lyle, who took a step back, looked at this side and said:

“We’ll talk again later when we feel better.”

And he looked at Lee Ye-eun, who was staring at him once, and ran out of the hospital room.

Yeeun Lee, who had been shaking her whole body as if she was unclean, immediately grabbed a deodorant and started spraying it with a dull look.

“Whoa.”

After a while, she nodded her head slightly, as if refreshing.

Then he walked up to me with a proud gait, daringly pushed the chair where Cas Lyle had been sitting before, into the corner, and brought a new chair and sat down.

“Would you like to sit down, Yuna-san?”

“Oh, no. I’ve got something to see… .”

Lee Yu-na waved her hand and left the door open.

Seeing her avoiding her seat even if anyone saw her, Ye-eun Lee made an unfamiliar expression for a moment.

“then… .”

“What, did you really have a story to tell?”

At my words, she frowned as if offended.

“What, then you thought I was lying?”

“No, it’s not like that… .”

“I really came here because Jihyuk has something to tell you.”

She spoke slightly gruntingly, and then cleared her throat with a big groan.

“First of all, they said that the academy will reopen next week.”

“The next major? It’s faster than expected. That’s great too.”

“yes. The story hasn’t been published yet. It’s a story told to some people first… Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest, it will be known through the media.”

Yeeun Lee said in her characteristic calm and calming voice.

“There, it was said that this year’s commemorative festival was also canceled.”

“A commemorative?”

“Why, five streets… .”

“ah… .”

In fact, I did just that.

The place where the statue of Minerva used to be was completely destroyed, and most of the five streets were destroyed, so it was said that restoration work was still in progress.

Above all else, the commemorative festival commemorates the sealing of the Seven Evil Bells, and the festival started right under the statue of Minerva, but the most important statue of Minerva has disappeared… .

“Thanks to you, it looks like you’re having a hard time rescheduling the academy or other places. Well, we don’t really care.”

and… .

she said, waving her tail.

“We are just ready to beat the association now. Perhaps within a few days, the media will attack the association by biting it.”

“An association?”

“yes.”

She nodded slightly and added.

“For now, Jihyuk, all you need to know is this. The rest is up to us.”

“… … .”

Come to think of it, the association was openly opposed to this.

Lee Ye-eun and Sipgang are not easy opponents, so they seem to have started a counterattack in order to trample on them before they come out annoyingly.

I nodded my head as if to understand, and Yeeun Lee, who had been staring at me for a moment, carefully reached out and took my hand.

“Ji-hyuk.”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to the academy?”

I nodded.

Then she lowered her eyes as if she knew it would.

“okay… yes.”

She bowed her head as if complaining for a moment, then carefully lifted her head and looked at it.

“Then can you promise me a few things?”

“A promise?”

“I don’t want to stop Ji-hyeok because I know why you are going to the academy and why you have to go. But, even considering your physical condition now, make sure to protect these things.”

I nodded my head in response to her request.

Then, Ye-eun Lee, who was looking at this side as if anxiously, relaxed her hard expression as if she was relieved by the word.

“Then first. Never travel alone, and be sure to travel with someone you can trust until you are fully healed.”

“… … !”

Raune, who had been standing next to him, nodded as if he was right.

Ye-eun Lee, who found the guy, gave a slightly startled expression and then patted her head as if she was cute.

“And secondly, do not participate in practical classes as much as possible. Third, if someone argues with you or shows signs of attacking you, run away immediately and get help from someone you trust… .”

“yes?”

For a moment, I tilted my head and Ye-eun Lee looked at me as if what was going on.

I immediately waved my hand and answered.

“No, I think it was just wriggling under my feet.”

“Under your feet?”

There was nothing under his feet.

Except for Henir’s shadow.

[…] … .]

“Isn’t it just a feeling?”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

The shadows were silent as always.

“I think so.”

As always.
