Episode 37: An angel who makes it rain (7)
In this world, special plants called flowers of reflection live. This flower is a magical plant that lives by absorbing the mana spread in the air. When a predator that threatens to harm it appears nearby, it emits the predator’s strongest memories as an illusion, making the predator retreat.
This ability is not a big problem in the natural world. Wild animals live monotonous lives, and the strong memories of those wild animals… … .
Meeting a predator stronger than yourself?
Or being chased by hunters?
Because that’s all there is to it.
But humans could not live such a monotonous life. The complexity of human life… This is an area where even philosophers cannot easily give an answer.
When such a complex creature, a human, comes into contact with the flower of reflection… … .
‘The reflection flower goes wild and resonates with other reflection flowers around it. ‘The more intense the memory and the larger the scale, the stronger this resonance.’
So if you have a problem… … .
‘That must be my most powerful memory.’
The day when assailants broke into the boy’s house. The day I was able to see my mother’s face for the last time. Perhaps even those memories should be revealed to the world.
Of course, the boy did not want to broadcast his past to the world. But he couldn’t help it.
‘This is a big sacrifice. A great angelic power will come… therefore… … .’
The boy crouched down, holding the flower of reflection.
It is said that the boy did this to gain angel powers, but in the eyes of the professors, Yumari, and other students who knew the situation, this act was… … .
It was a noble sacrifice itself.
“Damn it.”
“That stupid kid again… … .”
Jack and Hongwol, in the stands far away, bit their lips and cursed the student of magic who brought those flowers.
“Compatriots, gather everything that could be a weakness of that magician and him. hurry. And thoroughly investigate who instigated this.”
“Deacon, investigate all students in the Department of Magic who have a connection to Yoo Si-hyeon. And wage a war of revenge against that person.”
As soon as their dear friend, the referee, was attacked, these two people used all the power at their disposal to protect him.
“Wait a minute, referee… … .”
Only then did Yumari understand the situation… … .
It’s already late.
Paaaa – blue flowers are in full bloom… … .
The boy’s past comes out.
The first thing that caught my eye was the boy’s mother. The referee was unable to control his emotions after seeing her for the first time in such a long time.
“Son, what are you doing?”
Mother’s warm touch.
The referee lowered his head, holding back tears.
‘Hey, this is just an illusion…’ … .’
If there’s something to be said for being fortunate when being hit by the Flower of Reflection… It may be that the past is shown from the perspective of the person being reflected.
From your own perspective, you cannot see yourself unless you look in the mirror. And looking in the mirror couldn’t have been a strong memory.
‘I won’t find out that I was reincarnated.’
Maybe people think this past is just the referee’s past.
Meanwhile, Yumari slowly approached the student of the Department of Magic who brought flowers… … .
“Get out. “After this event, I will come and ask you to pay for this.”
With those words, he smashed the large rock next to him.
And the referee’s memories continue to unfold.
“what? “Why are you upset?”
“I don’t know… … .”
The boy’s mother folds her arms. However, the corners of her mouth were slightly turning up on her face, as if she couldn’t stand her cuteness.
“Are you still not going to know that I’m going to order chicken today?”
The boy hesitated and left the room with his mother. And in the end, he couldn’t help but laugh at his mother’s joke.
“me. I was laughing… … .”
Yumari smiled at the warm scenery unfolding like a fantasy. She was a little surprised that her smile came from her heart and not from her acting.
It wasn’t just Yumari. Soya, who was watching her, also had tears in her eyes as she thought of her mother, and Hongwol also maintained her concentration without saying anything, as if he could not take his eyes off her.
And so did the professors.
“this… “Shouldn’t we intervene?”
Lusa muttered. Currently, the spirit’s protection is being broadcast around the world, which is the same as saying that that child’s past is being broadcast around the world.
“Then it’s not fair. “Are you going to watch students fight each other and prevent one child’s past from unfolding?”
“Even though you say that… Are you shaking too? Like I want to run away right away… … .”
Park Jin-ho and Rusa glare at each other.
Jinho Park was the first to open his mouth.
“With this, we will be able to know for sure the child’s origins.”
“First of all, I think it’s clear that you were born in Korea, the human world, right?”
Lusa smiled and muttered.
Rebecca responds sharply to those words.
“Didn’t I tell you? “It has already been confirmed with Anathema of Lie.”
“Hmm. If the same content is found in both the evil enemy of lies and the flower of reflection, it must be solid information. then… “Tell this to the archery professor.”
Jinho Park declared while looking at Rusa.
“There is only one angel left in this world. “That child is not an angel.”
“Just because you say so… “Hexie, will that bitch stay still?”
“If you can’t stay still, tell them to move. “I will deal with everything.”
Park Jin-ho’s tone was ordinary.
It did not contain the slightest arrogance or vanity.

“Unlucky child… … !”
Lusa muttered. I wanted to argue more with Park Jin-ho, but after seeing the referee’s cozy past unfolding below… … .
“You’re like that.”
After saying this, Rusa just ignored it.
However, Park Jin-ho was already not paying attention to what Rusa was saying. That’s because he was busy watching the referee’s past with a happy smile.
In this way, the past of a mother and her young son was spread around the world through TV.
Sometimes, the viciousness shown by the child’s father made me frown, but it was only overshadowed by the kindness shown by the child’s mother.
Such happy times pass by.
And the day begins.
There was no longer any need for the child’s father, who had entered into an arranged marriage according to the family’s orders, and of course the annoying concubine and her illegitimate child.
To be precise, it would be more correct to view it as annoying rather than unnecessary.
Men with a rough appearance who received orders from their father.
The men threatened the child’s mother… … .
harassed many.
“Let’s not go through difficult times. “Where is the child?”
“I… I’ll tell you… same?”
“Ha, grit is something to be acknowledged. Hey, bring that.”
The referee shed tears as he watched it again.
“ah… … .”
Yumari had to look at the crying boy next to her without saying anything. And he couldn’t help but recall what the boy had said.
‘I know that pain too. really… … .’
Yumari thought.
‘It was true. Really the same pain as me… … .’
Yumari stretched out her hand.
And without realizing it, he hugged the crying boy’s back.
That little back, that sobbing back.
‘You had the same pain as me.’
However, the reactions of other people who saw this past were varied.
“How did this happen?”
“That good kid went through something like that…” … .”
“How dare the referee… … .”
Most people were truly sad,
Some were furious and gritted their teeth.
The professors looked at the referee with sad expressions, and among them, Jin-ho Park’s fist was clenched so tightly that it turned white.
And Soya lowered her visor and wiped away her tears.
There were two reasons why Soya cried.
The other was the same as everyone else, and the other was the reason that only Soya had.
‘Yumari suits the referee much better… … .’
Yumari, the daughter of Seocheon Yuga and the dragon, and she is taller than herself and not to mention beautiful. Strong? Admission scores? She is better than everyone else.
When the girl compared to that hugged the referee from behind, Soya felt like he would forget everything and curse the whole world.
“Huh, huh.”
The girl just cried and tried to forget this feeling that even she could not define.
“… … .”
Meanwhile, at Lake Naiad… … .
The fantasy was coming to an end.
“I’m used to it now. I see it in my dreams every day… … .”
Red blood flowed from beyond the sofa where the boy was hiding. She could no longer hear her mother’s voice.
The referee thought while wiping away his tears.
‘I’d rather have Yumari’s memories revealed… It would be much better for my insignificant nightmare to be revealed. Plus, you get angel power… … .’
The referee wiped away his tears and muttered as if he was okay.
“Whew, that was dangerous. Yumari, if your memories were revealed… … .”
“Referee… … .”
“why?”
The referee took Yumari’s hand away and said.
I can’t believe he was hugging me without me noticing.
“That… … .”
However, Yumari’s voice was a little strange.
It was a voice that sounded like it was nervous.
“… “I have to run away.”
What does that mean?
The referee looked back.
“what.”
The Naiad Forest has already disappeared. What unfolded instead was an army of monsters infesting the ground.
The professors floating in the air shouted.
“It’s an attack by the devil’s army!”
“It’s the devil’s army! “Evacuate all faculty, civilians and students!”
A group of monsters suddenly appeared while the boy’s fantasy was unfolding. These monsters were very similar to the dark group belonging to the Demon King’s army.
“How did this happen? “Has the barrier been breached?”
“no. Perhaps a spy of the Demon King’s army created an illusion using the flower of reflection. Perhaps that spy keeps the memories of the Demon King’s elite army… “I think it was released during the Spirit’s Protection event, when the largest number of students and civilians would gather.”
“It is a correct guess. Damn it, growing the flower of reflection in Naiad Lake because it is used as a precious medicine ended up being a bad thing.”
“You got hit. “This sleeping spy would have already escaped.”
Professor Klein’s poor judgment. And all the other professors had no choice but to make the same wrong decision.
The professors naturally interpreted this as an attack by the devil’s army. There has never been a single person who has ever seen the Demon King’s army on such a large scale.
Except for Lepriel, the judge on earth.
“Yes, this is the Spirit’s Protection Stadium. The demon king’s army suddenly appeared to attack the gathered students and faculty… Wow!”
“No, aren’t you afraid? Run away!”
After finding a reporter and supplying angel power, the referee quickly looked around.
The monsters shouted.
“Judge!”
“Judge!!!”
The referee suddenly realized how this situation had come to be.
‘… Those monsters are clearly Lepriel’s illusions. No, it’s not just my fantasy that’s reflected, it’s the fantasy of this body… So you’re saying Lepriel’s fantasy is also reflected?’
It’s a past of such enormous scale.
Of course, this was not the boy’s memory.
Naiad Lake was already filled with the illusion of monsters. And these monsters were created by the Flower of Reflection going berserk… … .
‘Runaway drinking is contagious!’
Lepriel’s past was already on a large scale, and this wide scale was spreading beyond Lake Naiad and affecting other flowers of reflection.
This range extends beyond Naiad Lake and into the outer forests surrounding the Academy. The flowers of reflection that grew wild in the outer forest resonate.
Lepriel’s past gradually began to become more realistic.
‘A large-scale explosion of reflection flowers. It’s a situation that happened in my past life too… … !’
Even in his past life, a hero’s past ran rampant in the Reflection Flower Colony, and the entire forest was covered in his nightmares. How did you solve it then?
The referee immediately called Naiad.
“Naiad! Naiad!”
The Naiads were frozen and unable to move because of the suddenly appearing mythical monsters. It was not a figurative expression; it was actually frozen.
“Le, Lepriel. The devil’s army’s operation has begun. In my lake, in my lake… … .”
Naiad, the spirit king who had lived for thousands of years, also mistakenly believed that this uproar was the work of the demon king’s army.
“Naiad, there is something I need you to do right now!”
Naiad asked again with a surprised expression.
“What should I do?”
“Release all water spirits… “Bring me more flowers of reflection right now.”
Naiad immediately refuted this.
“No, this division has spread because of the flower of reflection… what? “Bring more flowers of reflection?”
“The reason this situation has occurred is because the flowers of reflection only reflect the memory of one specific person. We have to neutralize it!”
Naiad muttered ‘Neutralization?’ with an expression of disbelief. It’s been a long time since I was a referee who made my stomach explode.
“Reflect other people’s memories… We need to neutralize someone’s memories that are unfolding right now! I understood?”
“Ah, I understand.”
The referee watched as the phantom monsters charged not only at the participating students but also at the audience across the lake.
‘Illusions created with mana are different from illusions created with science. Mana is will, and if it imitates that form, it also contains a certain amount of that will and power.’
Yes. That’s why we can’t just ignore illusions created by magic. The subject matter called fantasy has substance, and even elaborate fantasies have their own will.
Cooung-
The moment the referee is talking to Naiad, Yumari, who has already defeated one monster, shouts.
“Referee! I made a way! “Run here!”
“… “Yumari.”
The referee said while holding Yumari’s hand.
Academy students caught the referee’s eyes at that moment. Most of them were fighting against the monsters without being able to escape.
‘When saving future heroes, a huge amount of angelic power comes in.’
Also, the greed angel referee’s radar began to operate.
‘And isn’t it a rare opportunity for future heroes and academy students to be in danger as a group like this?’
A crisis is an opportunity, and the referee believed that.
‘But there’s no way I can deal with those monsters with my own strength.’
As the last survivor, the referee knew all the habits and weaknesses of those monsters. The referee had to deal with them.
But unless you have strength and wings.
‘Wait a minute, even if I can’t do it alone… What if I’m with Yumari?’
After gathering his thoughts, the referee opened his mouth.
“Yumari, you… “Don’t you want to give your sister a punch?”
“What are you talking about? You have to run away right now… … !”
The referee gently pointed to the camera broadcasting Naiad Lake.
“This is your chance to become a hero.”
