Episode 116 – The Great Saint of Prophecy
When I open my closed eyes, I feel stiff as if my eyelids are opening after a few days.
My body is on a soft bed… The ceiling is pure white… Uhh it happened
I looked at the ceiling, which I had become accustomed to seeing too often, then stood up.
As I was moving my body, which had been stiff from not moving for a long time, the door to the health room slid open and Yoon Hye-yeon came in and our eyes met.
“… ….”
“… Hello.”
Yoon Hye-yeon must have not been awake yet. She didn’t say anything.
Well, looking out the window, it seems like it’s still early… Uh?
In the middle of the sky, I see something like a strange dot.
People seem to have not noticed it yet, but they are running around energetically and enjoying their daily lives.
‘What is that?’
Even if I frown, I can’t see properly.
‘At that distance, you can’t see it with the [Sixth sense].’
As I was staring at that black dot, suddenly.
Hwaaagh!
The black dot suddenly spread and covered all of Star City in an instant.
But people were still running around like people who didn’t know anything.
However, somehow, they look different and somewhat awkward.
Cheer!
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, I felt a tingling sensation in my hands and chest as if an electric current was flowing, and I looked up.
“f*ck… ….”
Both fists and the center of the chest are dyed in dark red shadows, and thin shadows extend here and there around them.
“What is this… teacher?”
I saw the legs of Yoon Hye-yeon, who had approached me before I knew it, and when I looked up at her face, I lifted her head.
“…… !”
Yoon Hye-yeon, whose face came and went but disappeared, was standing next to me.
This does not mean that the face has been ripped off.
Literally, there were no eyes, nose, or mouth where the features were supposed to be, and white skin filled the place.
I jumped out of bed in surprise and instinctively tried to check her status window….
‘Status window not turning on?’
Impossible. ‘Star’s Blessing’ does not completely lose its power under any circumstances.
Jeopardy.
Faceless Yun Hye-yeon takes a step closer to me, and I take a step back accordingly.
Boom! Jump!
Rukia and Park Se-rin, who were lying on the other bed, raise their upper bodies with bizarre gestures and bob their heads as if they were being controlled by a thread.

Likewise, neither had a face.
“Crazy… ….”
I step backwards toward the window of the health room, avoiding the three people walking towards me.
Bang!
Someone knocked on the window from behind.
And when I looked back in surprise, I barely had to hold back the scream that almost came out.
Faceless students, teachers, and shopkeepers were tightly packed in front of the window, unable to see outside.
I forgot to even breathe and stared at it when the three people in front grabbed me by the arms and legs.
“Ugh… ! Magic…… !”
I was startled as I instinctively tried to use my magic.
“… Are there no purple stars?”
My heart, where the ‘Purple Star’, the source of all my magical power, was supposed to be, was empty.
Besides… The strength in the body is not the same as before.
As if returning as a ‘normal person’….
Three people grabbing my limbs rush at me as if they are trying to knock me over.
The fortunate thing is… Their strength was no different from that of ordinary women.
Park!
I pushed the three people away and ran towards the door of the infirmary.
Bang! I almost broke the door open and ran out into the hallway, but this time I couldn’t help but be astonished.
Because all the windows in the hallway were also filled with faceless people.
“…… f*ck!”
Even the people in the hallway turn their heads towards me and grotesquely bend their bodies and run like crazy.
I was convinced after seeing that appearance.
This is an illusion. Or is it a dream
But one thing is for sure… If I die here, the real me will be in danger too.
Although my [Sixth sense] Was not functioning properly, my ‘sense’ was telling me that.
I started running like crazy to avoid the people chasing me.
An overwhelming sense of helplessness that I felt for the first time after entering the academy.
‘Would I be this incompetent if I didn’t have magical powers?’
[Would I have been this incompetent if I had no magic?]
“…… ?!”
[Did you think so?]
As I was running, I turned my head to her side and there was a woman flying through the air following me and talking to me.
Golden hair gently flowing like golden waves, white enough to be translucent… No, actually, translucent skin and starry eyes.
A smile on the corners of the mouth and long, skinny limbs.
“Who are you?”
I asked while running, and the woman said leisurely while swimming in front of me.
[Do you have any time to wonder about that?]
“… Yes?”
At that moment, a man caught up with me and threw himself at me, grabbing my ankle.
Knock!
“Ugh!”
Because of that, I fell down, hit my chin on the floor, and let out a small moan.
[Ooh, that must be painful.]
The man doesn’t stop there, grabs my body with both hands and climbs up.
“Go away… go away!”
With one foot, I kicked the man’s face without eyes, nose, and mouth hard and pulled himself up.
However, because the time was dragged on, even the slow guys caught up with them right in front of them.
“Ah!”
But there was nothing I could do about it, so I just ran and ran through the hallway where faceless things clung to the windows.
Going down the stairs 3 or 4 at a time, before I knew it, I went down to the 1st floor, and then I went outside-.
“Whoa!”
Suddenly, a large male student jumped out from the side and rushed at me.
I screamed and instinctively twisted my body to avoid it, but it was not enough….
Weowong!
Hwaaak!
In an instant, a ball of black hair flew in from somewhere and hit the man’s face with a soft-looking leg.
The man’s body was blown away by the cute appearance and the power of the heavens, and he was slammed into the wall, bleeding profusely! It exploded.
Quaaang!
“Kkami!”
Meow-.
When I called the name of the black hairball out of joy, Kkami answered excitedly.
[Our Kkamangi is still amazing.]
The golden-haired woman smiled and said.
His tone is like someone who knew Kkami in the past.
Actually, before Dina and I named her Kami, she was called Kkamang.
But now there is no time to hold back.
I was trying to get up and run again when I was avoiding the man, but Kkami meowed! Called out to me
Then, as if asking her to follow her, she started running somewhere, tapping the floor with her tail.
It seems to be aware that my strength has weakened, and unlike before, it is fast enough that I can chase it now.
Of course, it was the same that you could barely chase after them with all your might.
Avoiding the faceless people chasing me tirelessly, I arrived at the place….
“… ‘Purple Star’.”
Why is the purple star that should be in my heart located in a place like this?
Meow!
Kkami next to me cries dissatisfiedly, as if telling me to catch it quickly.
And beside him, a golden woman was looking at the purple star with interest.
[Huh… that’s interesting. How could ‘blessings from the stars’ change this much?]
While doing so, I try to touch her with the tips of my fingers.
Then she turned to me and opened her mouth.
[What are you doing? Pick it up quickly Because the real thing starts now.]
After looking at the woman for a while with a weary breath, she reached out with one hand and held the purple star.
Quaaa!
The purple star that came into my hand suddenly began to rotate and began to grind my hand.
“Ugh…… !”
[Don’t miss it!]
Meow!
I almost missed the purple star because of the sudden pain, but I came to my senses when I heard the two voices and grabbed it tighter.
The purple star begins to seep into my body and settles again in my heart.
Hwaaak!
Purple light began to emanate from my body.
The bodies of the faceless people touched by the light slowly begin to melt.
However, the speed of melting was extremely slow, so there was no doubt that they would be caught at this rate.
I tried to turn around and start running, but the golden woman grabbed me by the shoulder.
[Turn on the lotus position.]
“Yes?”
[Quickly!]
I don’t know who it is, but somehow I thought that I shouldn’t reject that firmness, so I sat cross-legged and closed my eyes.
The ground shakes as if an earthquake had occurred, seeing how many people were running.
‘… Shouldn’t I jump right now?’
As I was thinking about that, a cold hand landed on my head.
[Relax.]
Even though it must have been the voice of someone I was seeing for the first time, the moment I heard that, my tension melted away like a lie.
A woman with crossed legs landed on my right shoulder as I was sitting cross-legged.
And with one hand, he kept stroking my hair and said.
[You don’t know how to handle the star in your heart properly.]
“… What is that…….”
[Quiet.]
The woman lightly interrupted me.
[Because I don’t have time. Will you understand?]
She lowered her hand that had been stroking her hair and placed it on my shoulder where she was not sitting.
[From now on, I’ll tell you how to use the four stars, so don’t answer, follow me.]
And from the woman’s hand, I feel as if some energy is burrowing into my body.
It wasn’t literally the ‘energy’ that could affect anything, it was just a ‘feeling’ created by women.
That ‘feeling’ gently wrapped around the purple star, and slowly began to spin on top of it.
Slowly, very slowly, as the woman instructed me, I began to rotate the purple star.
[Until now, you must have just randomly rotated the stars. Is not it?]
“… ….”
[However, the true power of a star is not only how fast it rotates, but also how it rotates.]
As I listened to her words, I felt it with my body at the same time.
Until now, if I had randomly rotated the purple stars, now it was like a very calm wave.
By increasing the speed at which the gentle wave rotates little by little.
It becomes a wave that cannot be stopped by anything.
[You asked who I was earlier, right?]
[I am Celestia.]
[The saint of ‘prophecy’ and the great saint of the battlefield who was called the greatest saint.]
[I will bless your future.]
The woman’s hand landed on my head again, and a purple glow erupted from my body, melting everything.
*
Shine!
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling in front of me, and my body was on a soft bed….
“Really.”
From noble mtl dot com
I was thinking about what I had just before, so I laughed.
Kkami, who climbed on top of me and curled up her body, wakes up and meows as if she is happy to see her.
As I stroked Kkami and raised her upper body, I heard a voice next to her.
“Huh? Siwoo! Woke up?”
When she turned her head, Se-rin Pak was drinking her coffee and waving her hand in the sun….
Next to him, Rukia, Dina, and Yoon Hye-yeon, who were drinking coffee with their own cups, were glaring at me for some reason.
“… ….”
By the way.
“Why are you there….”
The back of Sally, who is drinking cocoa with a satisfied expression among them.
The Great Saint of ‘Prophecy’ whom I met in my dream was smiling brightly and waving her hand.
[Hello? You thought I was the kind of character who disappears after giving you enlightenment, right?]
I just wanted to try that kind of directing. Looking at the woman who said that, I felt like my energy was draining all the time.
