4.5 Interlude
4.5 Interlude
The word “Saved” The world is not simply a pleasant word.
At least, the warriors belonging to the middle dimension, Academia, must understand the hidden meaning of those words. Even if you enter the school without understanding it, you will soon realize it.
Someone saved the world by saving everyone’s lives. On the contrary, someone saved the world by killing everyone’s life. Someone saved the souls who were destined to suffer forever by closing the dimension itself, and someone saved them in their own way.
Even though they started out with the same love for humanity, by the time they reached the end, even with the word ‘salvation’, the warriors’ inclinations were so different.
That’s why you couldn’t judge a warrior simply by his achievements. In a way, it can be said that Orien originally came after ‘cleaning’ the world.
“Isn’t that true?”
Orien put her old-fashioned teacup to her lips and smiled. There was a hot newspaper on the table. The front page of the newspaper was in a frenzy due to an interesting topic that occurred after a while.
“As you know, there are also warriors summoned from a dimension where eternal struggle and slaughter are repeated without any special purpose. Or what about the warriors who were trapped in a system where they trampled on everything in the first place and had to take it all by themselves? Even if the percentage in Academia is very small, weeding out all of them early and controlling them is more like a vain desire for control. If you really regret it, the stage of releasing the magic of this body is 10 stages…… It was a joke, so don’t be so serious.”
There were several photos attached to the front page of the newspaper.
The Phobos Circle room burned to ashes, the warriors of the Phobos Circle who were hospitalized as a group, Clay, the leader of the Phobos Circle, who is about to face the severe punishment of the past, and Alem, who is still in a coma even though a day has passed since the day of the incident.
“…Wouldn’t it be unreasonable to expect universal human common sense and manners from each of them, who grew up in a cruel world? In principle, it’s nobody’s fault. Of course, the punishment for the crime must be handed down through the hundred precepts, but… “
Orien looked down at the newspaper with half-eyes down and spoke softly.
“Isn’t it the students’ share, the professors’ share, or even yours to decide whether or not to summon a hero from the original world? Maybe even this middle dimension… “
Stop talking, Orien smiled and turned the front page of the newspaper.
“…Yes, yes. I know. You shouldn’t even mention them carelessly. I can’t put you in trouble if you’re caught in the middle. Still, hasn’t the crime rate in the middle dimension plummeted since Winds, a proud classmate of mine, founded the vigilante group? Isn’t it about time that Winds also approves the release of magic?”
On the second and third pages that follow, there are a lot of ‘important stories’ that are less illuminated than the first, but known to those in the know.
Orien noticed the words ‘Unauthorized magical release, is it okay as it is’ And ‘A trace of a warrior from Peer was found at the scene of the incident?!’ Written in bold letters. Put in
“Anyway, how is things going these days? She heard she found a new clue after a long time. Shouldn’t we be thanking Alem for that? How about giving her a present? Hmm?”
Suddenly, Orien opened her eyes and giggled.
“Are you already taking care of your juniors… hmm… well… Maybe… Hmm? Let this body deliver instead? Ok then i will do that You’ll be busy these days, so I understand.”
Orien put the newspaper down and sipped his teacup.
“It was nice to see you for the first time in a while.”
**
Academia was excited.
It was the wave caused by the clash between the Phobos Circle and the freshmen from Eros.
In fact, it was the majority, and all the members of the circle were only warriors who had passed well over a few years after entering the school, so the word clash was misleading, but the result was the exact opposite.
A big incident where a freshman robbed a circle by himself.
The simple sentence without a single lie was stimulating with just that fact, and the speed at which it spread was amazing. Academia was curious about Alem’s past and future.
That time.
Winds sat in the vigilante’s office and was preoccupied with digging through her papers. Her immersion in her food and drink was as if she was being chased by something.
‘The warrior from the peer bared her tail.’
Fear.
In terms of horror, he is from a background that has caused many worse events than Eros. However, since it happened so long ago, there are few people left in Academia who remember. Even Winds, thanks to the vigilante’s access rights, she only read through documents.
But then, the peer reappeared in Academia.
Winds put his forehead on his forehead and muttered softly.
“Crazy bastards… “
Knowing full well how frantic the chairman is about eradicating one from Peer, knowing better than anyone else that Eros and everything else is being put aside and putting all of one’s nerves into tracking Peers, holding hands with peers in the circle room behind the scenes. Was hiding
This crime alone will completely disintegrate the Phobos Circle. In front of the wrath of none other than the chairman.
There were not just one or two traces of peers found at the site. It was at a level where I wondered how it hadn’t been discovered, but it wasn’t impossible considering the characteristics of peers who could hide traces of magical power close to nothing.
Considering the fact that all the warriors belonging to the Circle of Phobos had a history of shattering the world, the theory that all the members of the Circle were united to commit something grandiose garbage seemed reasonable.
When the public gets drunk on the underdog who won against a huge and bad group, the really important fact was wriggling under the water without revealing itself.
From now on, the invisible war will begin. Winds had a hunch.
“Whoa.”
After sorting out the case, the only thing that came to mind was cigarettes. Winds leaned back in the large chair and sighed deeply.
Unlike the previous documents, there was a slightly thinner and smaller wad of paper in my hand. It was Alem’s diagnosis that he had received from the hospital a few hours earlier. On the medical certificate, there was a short phrase that said that 5 stacks of Remind were confirmed. Maybe even the hospital was overturned. You must be busy treating the unprecedented occurrence of patients by now.
In fact, the reason I was able to get even one medical certificate early was because Winds pushed the title of vigilante leader and half-restrained. It seemed she couldn’t survive without it.
Winds rested his chin on his chin and stared at the medical certificate. Nothing came out of that. It only made his mind even more disturbed.
“Remind… “
In an instant, the figure of her man who was sobbing in her arms passed by. At the same time, Winds felt his chest constrict. He had a hard time breathing.
A person with weak mental power faints even with 2 stacks of Remind. From the 3rd stack, I suffered from hallucinations and hallucinations, and from the 4th stack, I had to take out a very old record to check the symptoms.
In the past, there was a time when a person from a peer made a victim of 4 stacks of Remind.
After the victim fainted and collapsed, he woke up and lived without any problems for about a week, then suddenly committed suicide. According to the testimonies of those around the time, the victim did not show any problems. Rather, it was so lively that it was frightening.
“…..”
At the part where he said ‘I committed suicide’, Wins’ pupils shook greatly.
Winds was afraid that Alem would become like that. She fears that she will disappear forever without even giving herself a chance to atone.
I recall the face of her man, who was always smirking, relaxed, and had an unknown confidence.
I now know for sure that at the root of that confidence was the confidence in one’s abilities. It’s hard to believe, but Academia was already convinced that Alem would be more than a Master.
But on the other hand, what about mental problems?
Even if it wasn’t so, he had already suffered from heart attacks for several years. According to Orien’s testimony, she accelerated the symptoms even more, and absorbed the reminder five times in a row.
It was not an area that people could endure.
Even if the reminder was of no use because the image was distorted by the influence of Simma, that was still a problem.
This, this…
“……This isn’t it… “
Winds’ voice trembled unsteadily.
That man shouldn’t end like this. He suffers from all kinds of harm, defends Makia and his classmates against the unreasonable violence of his seniors, and in spite of that, he eventually collapses and wanders around his death.
I wouldn’t have tried so hard to communicate with everyone just for this ending. Alem obviously wanted him to be happy.
Suddenly, I felt the stupidest and most disgusting sentences in the newspapers, which were just praising and praising Alem without knowing anything. At the same time, it was also a disorganized feeling he felt towards himself.
Wins crumpled up the newspaper and stood up in silence. And he left the office.
What is clear is that there has been a change of heart.
