How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 247

Bellbrook subjugation (15)

No matter what the people behind the stage are, the story on the stage goes on.

As soon as Ed Roth Taylor and Sylvania disappeared into the space curtain, the battle went into a lull in an instant.

Jenika, who has become completely dying, collapses on the floor as it is, and the spirits that cover the sky disappear one by one.

So is Lucy. The ring on his hand was shattered without enduring the astronomical amount of magical power. He staggers towards the direction where Ed has disappeared, before collapsing to the floor.

There is no one who can stop the monsters covering the sky anymore.

Once again, the demons of Velbroke cover the skies of Aken Island.

There seems to be no end. Even after killing them, they keep coming.

However, human resistance also does not end.

New forces attack the square where only Jenika and Lucy are left in a dying state.

The Cathedral Knights, led by St. Clarisse, and the mercenary corps, centered on Lord Lortel, the head of the church…

The blood-mad sword demon Clevius, the combat club students following Dyke, and the student members led by Tanya Rosteylor…

They arrive one by one and engage in battle.

Subduing the crowd of monsters, they advance towards the center of the plaza.

Withstood Velbrooke’s magic that occasionally flew in, and neutralized the magic thrown by the monsters… they headed for the center of the battlefield.

The first person to arrive was Lortel Kecheln, acting head of Elte Firm.

Lortel finds bloodstains under the collapsed spire, the energy of spiritism with Ed’s magic remaining, and the fallen Jennica and Lucy.

As it is, he gave orders to the Mercenary Corps to take care of the two, and calmly judged the situation.

The countless spirits and traces of Aspect Magic that were seen just before meant that a fierce battle had taken place.

Here, Jenika and Lucy fought a bloody battle to help Ed until the brink of death.

It was not a bloody battle unfolding on stage under the spotlight.

Fights under the stage, known only to those in the know. However, it must have been an intense fight that was incomparable to any other battle in terms of desperation.

Lortel is a generation of shining protagonists.

Therefore, it was not the stage of Lortel.

Lortel silently looked up at the sky.

Chained up, Valveroke struggled. Perhaps that gigantic star spear dragon is the final nemesis that the hero expected by all must defeat.

Walking along the path of the hero is the right way. If you walk steadily along the open road, a bright and beautiful ending will be waiting for you.

However, those who stand by Ed Rosteiler are, after all, beings below the stage.

I look at Jenika and Lucy, who are all in disrepair.

Although the two of them had been fighting fiercely and arduously, in the end, they fought by the man’s side.

This is the crucial difference between Lortel and the two.

The fact that the stage they are standing on is different eventually creates a strange gap at an important point.

I’m not used to that sense of distance, and loneliness and unreasonable feelings are about to come up in my heart…

——After that, he smiled slowly.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never lived with the right answer.”

It reminds me of Ed Roth Taylor, who was obsessed with graduation and focused only on survival until then. He smiled coquettishly, and when the time comes, he’s not Lortel, who declared that he would drag you down.

I started with a group of poor people who told me to stop dreaming of being a property owner, and reached the pinnacle of wealth. Lortel Kecheln was already accustomed to resisting fate and destiny.

Besides, the end of the stage is right in front of you. Did you think you would be disappointed here?

As he tended to injured Jenika and Lucy, Lortel laughed, bowing her head under her robes.

Seongchangryong Valveroke.

If the entity blocking the way between Ed Rosteyler and his stage is that gigantic monster, he just needs to get rid of even that.

When the curtain falls, the stage ends.

When the stage is over, the brilliant actors will come down below it.

Looking at the stairs leading down to the stage, Lortel laughs coquettishly.

The stage prepared by Ed Rosteyler is the final stage.

When it’s all over, go down the stairs and slowly seep into the world the man lives in.

Eventually, as the Bellbrook subjugation party led by Taily stormed into the plaza, everyone finally gathered in one place.

Taylor McLore, Isla Triss, Phenia Elias Chloe, Lortel Kecheln, Ziggs Eiffelstein, Clevius Nortondale, Elvira Aniston.

The generations of protagonists, each with their own circumstances in their arms, gather in one place and look up at the roaring Bellbrook.

The stage curtain rises slowly.

Taylor McLore will win.

he was the main character

* When I opened my eyes, barely grasping my blurred vision, I was in a pure white space.

Have you completely lost consciousness? She looked around her for a moment, distraught. She frowned for a moment at the sudden rising pain in her body, but somehow she managed to bear it.

There was nothing to see.

I was sitting on a simple wooden chair. That was all in this pure white space.

And on the other side of the chair, a girl with a familiar face was sitting.

Like me, he bled a lot, and his luxurious-looking wizard’s robe was covered in red blood.

The girl with her pure white hair neatly down is the great sage Sylvania Robester.

When I confirmed that I had opened my eyes, Sylvania seemed to be contemplating what to say as she gently closed her eyes.

It was me who spoke first.

“Since when did you come to your senses?”

It must have been more difficult than expected to face the fear in the abyss whose end is unknown in the eons of time.

That’s why I didn’t bother to ask the walgawalbu.

“From around the time I saw Glass Khan.”

Sylvania’s voice was softer than expected.

It is quite different from when he was consumed by madness and lost his reason. However, the look with the gaze down and the dark expression on the face did not look very confident.

“Before that, I felt a sense of incongruity. As I was slowly being devoured into the abyss, I must have thought that my life was nothing but a series of futile struggles.”

“It is worth it.”

I sympathized with him, but he didn’t bother to comfort me.

The only thing that can comfort Sylvania Robester is herself.

I put my weight on the back of the chair, feeling that I no longer had any strength in my body.

“here is…”

“It’s a gap in space. If you hide inside the spatial veil, you can completely disconnect from the outside world and be free from all damage and influence.”

“It’s a wonderful experience.”

Slowly tightening my waist, I pulled my head forward. Then, the strength in my back was drained, so I was able to talk with both arms propped on my knees and with my head lowered.

“Your life is not meaningless. Because I am here.”

Nothing comforting or anything, just telling the truth.

“I am the proof.”

It’s not that I have a duty to protect, but I still talk about that much.

Even if he is the great sage of the century, he is only a human after all.

All she wanted to confirm was that.

Sylvania slowly put down her staff and nodded. She seems to have tried to put up with it, but the tears she holds in her are slowly leaking out before long.

She lived to save the world. Then she failed a lot, went crazy, made a lot of mistakes.

However, it was finally reached. It is to find a branch of the future that can move beyond the far-off cliff area.

It is you who have reached the end of the journey, not me. Sylvania Robester.

With that in mind, I nodded my head.

“Then, now is the time to finish. Actually… I thought it was about time. I’m so glad you came to this world.”

“Is it about time?”

“The providence of the world is not that simple. The total amount of souls allowed in the world is fixed after all. If a soul from another world was summoned, the soul would have to disappear from this world equal to its weight. There is a limit to twisting providence.”

Permanent extinction through Aspect Magic. It is a magic that twists providence itself and makes it become something that did not exist at all.

Sylvania draws the magic of the Aspect and talks.

“A lot of people died because I was immature.”

The purpose is to save the world.

He has lived his entire life for that noble purpose, but that does not justify the sacrifice of his own life. Sylvania was such a person.

“I’ll get rid of Valveroke and get him to step back from this world. The seat I left empty is yours.”

Sylvania stands up and talks to me.

“Thank you for coming. And for surviving.”

“…”

“I’ll take care of the rest. I just wanted to say that. thank you for surviving For gritting my teeth and enduring until the end… So… I just wanted to say thank you…”

Sylvania said that and slowly turned around.

Perhaps he intends to put an end to this catastrophe. Thus, Valveroke is overpowered by Sylvania, and the world advances with the hope of overcoming the precipice.

There is no place for Sylvania there, but the result of saving the world remains.

That’s it. Sylvania could laugh just by confirming that her fate, which she had devoted her whole life to, was not her meaningless struggle.

“hey.”

Of course, I didn’t agree with that statement.

Leaving my weak body alone, I sang Sylvania with all my might.

“…?”

“I understand your position. Because I had to struggle to save your world… The sudden summoning of me, the fact that I had to endure all kinds of crises… I can understand everything.”

From her point of view, it must have been a struggle to save the world. It must have been part of her desperate struggle to survive.

Let’s make a hundred concessions, and let’s say they understand everything.

However, there remains a part that will never be understood.

“Then, what about the world I was in?”

“huh?”

“You said with your own mouth that if the total amount of the soul is out of balance, the providence is twisted. Then who maintains the balance of the world I left? How are you going to fill the vacant position?”

Close your eyes.

What I still remember are the ties I left behind in the previous world.

“I had very few acquaintances left, and it was a very harsh world… but it was like my hometown. It is also a place where I have attached myself a lot. Then… If I protect your world, you won’t have to take care of mine.”

“that…”

“If I have to exist in this world as a variable, isn’t it polite to at least keep my original world from collapsing?”

I knew very well the spirit of sacrifice to leave me in this world, even to the point of annihilating my soul.

However, such sacrifices do me no good.

But there is only one thing I can say.

“I will take care of your world, so take care of the world I left behind. Don’t try to run away with something like death, take responsibility.”

“You want me to go to that world? on your behalf?”

“If you called me here, it wouldn’t be impossible for you to go there.”

“Never… I’ve never…”

“Then you should try.”

As if my reaction was completely unexpected, Sylvania stared at me with wide eyes.

However, there is nothing wrong with the logic.

Coming into this world, I have been through a lot. There were a lot of hardships, but there were also quite a few worthwhile and enjoyable things in their own way. Still, it’s not that I don’t love the world I left behind.

I never want that place to be engulfed in strange things.

“Then… Valveroke…”

“You believe in the world. The Taily I know somehow managed to overcome even against Velbroke, who had been completely unsealed. Even more so, I’m attracting more colleagues than I did back then, so there’s no way I’ll lose against Velbrok, who hasn’t even unlocked the seal.”

The stage has already been set.

I went through all kinds of hardships while running on my feet, but if the result was good anyway, it doesn’t matter.

“Don’t waste Aspect magic, save my world. Because I will save your world.”

Isn’t that a simple transaction?

There is no room to think more deeply. I have no desire to part with the remaining affection of the things I left behind.

Sylvania looks at me quietly, then smiles. Closing her eyes gently, she continued to laugh for a while, and then she continued talking slowly.

“Yes, you are right.”

Sylvania nodded and raised the Aspect Magic power of her entire body.

Dark red magical energy fills the huge space. The bright and pure white space was filled with heavy Aspect Magic before anyone knew it, and it became like a huge underground space.

A greater amount of mana than when using the highest Aspect Magic covers the infinite space.

Just looking at the amount of mana is enough to make you dizzy.

The power of magical power that goes beyond the providence of the world and reaches the world beyond the stars is so far away.

It is a magic that has already been implemented hundreds of times. To call out Ed Rosteyler.

This time, it is magic not to summon someone, but to open the world on your own.

Before long, something like a huge iron gate rises from the gap of enormous magical power.

“Actually, I don’t know. As if it’s been a while since you came to this world after I called you out… Everything is unstable. You might have to swim for a while between the flow of time and the flow of space. It could go farther into the future than expected, or even farther into the past.”

“Still, it might be better than killing yourself here.”

“that’s right. And like you said, I will have to take responsibility as much as you took responsibility.”

Sylvania looked back with a faint smile.

And he moved his mouth as if he was trying to say something, but he couldn’t hear it well because of the aftermath of the swirling magical power.

Anyway, I think I left a thank you, so I waved my hand and told him it was okay.

In fact, all I did was make a fuss to survive every moment. There was no such thing as a grandiose and lofty goal to save the world.

We survived in our respective positions. If you confirmed that fact, that’s it.

Sylvania’s Aspect Magic ‘space curtain’ is disappearing.

Watching Sylvania advancing beyond the slowly opening door, I gently closed my eyes.

I didn’t have to say goodbye.

As long as you’re alive, there will be a chance to meet again.

* No matter how long the night is, the morning sun always rises.

Even on that night when I put a gun to my head in the rainy forest, after enduring the long darkness, the dawn began to appear proudly.

Even on the island of Aken, where the demons and Velbroke rampaged, that fact remains unchanged.

The morning sun rises with the Belbrook subjugation party gathering, and Taily flying toward the sky while slicing through the space.

The group of monsters covering the sky is about to go to the continent and commit a massacre, but before long they are blocked by the arriving imperial army and start to be suppressed.

The imperial army, led by Princess Persica, was stationed in the coastal area to prevent human casualties from spreading to the continent, constantly blocking the group of monsters.

Princess Fenia, who escorts Taily and commands the forces, Jiggs, who pierces the path together so that Taily can reach Valveroke’s heart, and Clevius, who deflects Valveroke’s attacks with all his might. Elvira, who takes out reagents to minimize the damage caused by the aftermath of magical power, Lortel, who is thinking about a methodology to approach Valveroke more rationally, and Taily, who does not lose courage and fights fiercely at the center of it all. Ayla too.

Everyone struggles to survive.

On a rainy day, in the forest on the battlefield… I remember sitting leaning against a tree stump and putting down the muzzle.

I remember staring at the squirrels running in front of them, the ants crawling in the soil, and the sparrows sitting on top of conifers.

No matter what you do, everyone is living anyway.

I was sure that that fact would be stuck in my heart and not disappear until the day I die.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in the rubble of a building.

The battered Jenika and Lucy were lying next to him. Both of them must not be in normal physical condition, but anyway, the sight of them clinging tightly together and wrapping their arms around each other was like a kitten, so I almost laughed out loud.

Both were unconscious. He stayed by my side until I was about to lose consciousness.

The sky was high and clear. Is it a bright day at some point?

The morning sun shines down on the rubble of the collapsed building.

There was no figure of Valveroke covering the sky.

I ended up trying to get myself up between the half-ruined academic buildings. Because the pain was about to come again.

“Did you have a good dream?”

Lortel was the one who looked at me as I lay with Yenica and Lucy, and then spoke up.

Sitting quietly on the rubble of the building next to him, Lortel… was covered in blood just like the rest of us.

It was a sign of a fierce battle. However, Lortel was just laughing candidly, as if everything was over.

“The stage is closed.”

Lortel does not elaborate on the lengthy, life-threatening battle of the night before.

However, all the people gathered in the square are lying on the ruins and talking while watching. The members of the subjugation team and the survivors gathered and were breathing hard waiting for the rescue team. They were people full of scars.

Neither the terrifying Star Changryong that covered the sky nor the monsters rampaging as if they were going to destroy the world were left there.

Only a warm breeze runs through my hair.

Lortel, who had come down from the stage, was smiling quietly, leading her weary body. He looked at us lying on the rubble and then closed his eyes. then talk

“You worked hard.”

That short sentence made me feel like stabbing my heart for no reason…

I lay down quietly looking up at the sky.

Suddenly, while reading a book, I looked out the window and saw an open…

It was the morning sky, wide and blue as always.

*Duk-Duk-

The girl wakes up to the sound of water dripping from the sink.

dark room. unmade blankets. scattered clothes. Computer screen lit up.

The occasional sound of a passing train outside the window. Weeng weeng and the sound of cicadas crying. A slight breeze through the open window blows over the notebook spread out on the desk.

The girl who opened her eyes sighed and stood up.

He looks around with a puzzled face. There are things like cutlery scattered on the floor. He was pessimistic about something and tried to end his life like this. Like Ed Rosteyler, who tried to hang himself that day.

Looking around, I see a small mirror standing on a sitting desk. The bewildered figure of a dwarf girl with black hair and glasses is clearly visible.

The girl presses her throbbing hair and flips through the open notebook. A lot of pictures are drawn

Illustrations full of many wonderful people. It must have been drawn by the girl herself.

Some of them are drawn with sincerity, like game concept art. Is it a girl’s dream or goal? The bookshelves are full of books related to concept art. In addition, there are a lot of books related to scenario writing and game programming.

It is a world without magic. Even if I try to gather magic, nothing happens.

Fragmented memories left in my head make me more dizzy. Anyway, it seems that this girl dreamed of something, was frustrated, and was about to end her life. That was about as far as I can tell at this point.

It is a world full of unknowns.

Even so, once the girl got up from her seat.

Hearing the sound of the computer’s cooler running, he stared blankly at the monitor screen. He stares at it like a snowball fight for a while, but he still can’t figure out what’s what.

Once you are very hungry. I don’t know why, but I must have starved for a few days. If I don’t want to die of starvation, I think I’ll have to eat something.

The girl somehow gets up and goes to the kitchen. The staggering gait is precarious.

The screen of the computer the girl left behind turns on for a while, then goes dark. Right before going dark, the last username the girl set comes to mind for a moment, then disappears.

‘Peperopepe’

It was the name of a chocolate snack the girl often bought.

The computer screen was completely blacked out, and only the sound of the girl opening the refrigerator door with difficulty leaked into the room.

What did you have to eat to live?

And as long as you live, life goes on. As always.
