“Simon, that…”
“why?”
She crossed her legs and said in a very embarrassed voice.
“The glasses looked good on you earlier.”
“Really? Ha ha, thank you.”
The two headed to the restaurant together.
There were a lot of people because it was lunchtime.
I went to the end of the line, waited, ate lunch leisurely for about an hour, and enjoyed dessert at a cafe to cheer myself up.
“The chocolate frappe was so delicious~”
Kamibarez said with a smile on his face.
Simon thought she was very excited today.
Normally, he was conscious of the people around him and was quiet, probably to avoid making mistakes, but today, Kamibarez, chatting chatteringly at the cafe, had a new look.
‘Oh, isn’t that new?’
Come to think of it, I had only seen such an excited Kamibarez once.
She was so excited the night I first met her in group class, even when we went to the Forbidden Forest together.
“There’s about 30 minutes until the next class.”
Simon looked at his watch and said. She smiled.
“Then, shall we go into the classroom beforehand?”
“It’s good.”
The two walked slowly through the campus.
“Simon, I have a question for you.”
“What?”
“Yeah, it’s about the Saddam club I joined~ There’s a group of first-year students I go with.”
“huh.”
“We’re really, really close. Everyone seems very happy to belong to this group. But… when two members of the club like each other, that…”
She looked up at Simon with a flushed face.
“Can the members of the club live in the same atmosphere as before?”
“……hmm?”
“Ah, that’s it! My friend seems to be looking at me for nothing…!”
Simon scratched the side of his head.
“It’s embarrassing. I don’t know because I’ve never dated anyone either… I wonder if the atmosphere can’t be helped?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“When you date each other, you implicitly prioritize each other’s lover over other friends. Other people will gradually notice that you are a couple, and it will not be an equal atmosphere for all four of you.”
“…….”
She put her hands together with a slightly stiff face.
“Still, people’s emotions are not something that can be controlled by one’s own will.”
Simon said, stretching all the way.
“I think it’s a natural thing.”
“Ah, yes! That’s right!”
The two were talking about this and that while heading to the ‘Magic Bullet Shooting Training Center’ where hematology classes were held.
Then Kamibarez was startled and rummaged through the pockets of his skirt.
“what’s the matter?”
“Ahh, I left my notebook at the cafe!”
“I’m coming…”
“No, no! It’s mine, so I’ll be right back! Please go to the classroom first!”
She shouted and hurriedly ran towards the campus cafe.
Simon went and sat down on a nearby bench to wait for her.
‘Haaa.’
The wind blows softly and the hair flutters.
It was very peaceful.
‘Staying like this reminds me of the old days.’
At Leshill, I would lie down on the grass and lie there for hours in a daze. Simon tilted his head back and looked up at the sky.
‘……?’
The color of the sky was slightly reddish.
When I opened my eyes wide, there was something like a reddish membrane spread out. Because of the color of that membrane, the sky looks bloody.
‘Barrier? I heard that Keyzen has a defense barrier.’
It was the first time it had been so visible. Simon looked up at the sky and narrowed his brows.
‘But why is the barrier suddenly visible to the naked eye?’
Anxiety.
or
presentiment.
Suddenly, I felt the hair on my body stand on end, and an unknown feeling of uneasiness crept up my head.
There was no basis or reason. But I had a visceral feeling that something big was about to happen.
Just when Simon was about to get up.
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-
A roar rang out.
There was a huge explosion, the like of which he had never heard before, and Simon’s vision whirled around in the headwind, before heading to the dirt floor.

My ears were deafened and I heard tinnitus. It was dizzy. I felt a huge vibration even on the floor, and I couldn’t control my body.
Simon, who struggled to get up, raised his head.
A pitch-black explosion cloud. The building where Kamibarez would have been entering if he hadn’t left his notebook behind was being shattered by the explosion.
‘……What’s this?’
Maybe it’s because an unrealistic scene is happening right in front of my eyes.
Simon felt that his cognitive ability to accept the situation was significantly reduced.
Wing- Wing-
The tinnitus in my ears won’t stop.
Explosions also occur on the other side, starting with the Magic Bullet Shooting Practice Center. A building located behind the Maengdok Academy, which was located just before.
This time, the Magic Museum exploded.
‘……Maylin!’
Simon jumped up.
But the explosion doesn’t stop without a chance to do anything. This time, an explosion is heard in the dormitory, and an explosion also occurs in the first-year learning center.
The world surrounding Simon was covered in black smoke and turned into thick darkness.
The sunny sky was covered with ashes.
Screams that seem to be torn apart are scattered all over the place. Amidst the smoke, the building is on fire and students are falling to the ground bleeding.
“ah…….”
Simon’s pupils shake.
What.
what the hell is going on
What about Maylin? What about d!ck? and.
‘Kami!’
The moment I thought of her, I felt the blood in my whole body go cold.
Simon ran like crazy.
I kept coughing from the smoke and my head was dizzy, but all I could think about was that I had to run.
There is a friend who is closest to you and may be available right now.
Simon’s eyes widened as he wandered around in the smoke.
“Kami!”
Kamivarez lay on the floor with blood on his forehead.
She was grayish, as if her skin had been discolored, and was coughing.
“Are you okay? Wake up!”
“Simon?”
Fortunately, she opened her eyes.
“What, what is this? A sudden explosion…”
“I don’t know!! It’s dangerous here! Can you walk?”
She nodded and got up. Her only thought was that she had to somehow get her out of her keygen.
Simon grabbed her by the wrist and pushed her through the smoke.
What happened? is this really real? what the heck…….
Woo Woo Woo.
The sound of flesh being torn.
Intense pain felt even in situations where adrenaline is extremely secreted.
Blood gushed out of his mouth.
“Simon!!!”
Simon lowered his head. Something pitch-black, as if made of pitch-black, was protruding from his chest.
It was a cross.
The cross was pierced through the chest.
All strength drained from his body and he fell to the floor. Cami Varez burst into tears and knelt beside Simone.
“Simon! Simon!! Are you okay? Please! Please! No! Please don’t do this! Simon!!!”
again and again.
In a world of smoke and ashes, someone was coming this way.
Simon desperately moved his head to look where the footsteps had been heard.
‘……!!!’
Blood-red hair, and a black scarf fluttered with flames.
It was a woman in a black suit.
[Excessive curiosity kills cats.]
Seeing her face smiling like a devil, Simon’s eyes were stained with astonishment.
[You guys had to leave Keyzen then.]
It was.
Damn.
It was.
‘Francesca……Professor…!’
Francesca was a priest.
she is a spy
She killed so many students!
should be blocked
should be informed
Dear Kazan, Dear Lorraine, Dear Professor, Dear Nephthys.
I just have to let you know…!
I feel the strength draining from my body.
Consciousness dulls, blood-stained vision blurs.
Above the crying and screaming Kamibarez, countless black crosses can be seen spreading across the sky.
‘Run away.’
No voice came out.
‘Run away, Kami.’
The cross fell.
Simon’s vision darkened with a dull sound.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
I heard the ticking of the clock hands in my ears.
Consciousness still remains. When Simon lowered his gaze, he saw that the Nephthys artifact on his necklace was emitting a bright light.
‘……!’
The pain is gone. The highs and lows of emotions also disappeared.
Before anyone knew it, Francesca, Kamibarez, and the flaming figure of Kizen disappeared, and Simon fell into a world of black and white.
There was a tall woman with flowing silver hair. Countless clocks were ticking in the air around her with her arms outstretched.
A shadow fell over her face. She thought it was someone she’d never seen before, but somehow she was familiar.
Because some characteristics were melted into the appearance
‘…… Nephthys-nim?’
At the end of that sight, Simon’s consciousness was cut off.
* * *
“Simon, Simon.”
“…….”
“Simon, wake up! I’m going to get scolded.”
whoop!
Simon groaned and opened his eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was Kamibarez, whose eyes were wide open in the seat next to me.
Simon’s lips trembled.
‘What is this?’
I looked around.
It was a lecture room. I see d!ck and Mailyn taking notes.
All the other class A students were fine, and they were moving their quills with a clicking sound. A cool breeze came in from the window.
A completely opposite sight.
It was so peaceful.
‘Is everyone… alive?’
Along with the relief, a thick shudder ran down my spine and spread through my whole body.
is it a nightmare
no, it’s not a dream
Obviously that was real.
Looking at the desk, I see a textbook for self-education. I raised my arm and checked my watch.
‘ah…….’
It was.
Back in the hours before the horrific event.
When I looked down, the artifact of Nephthys hanging around my neck was completely shattered.
-You will know when you really ‘experience death’. just know that
The story Kazan had told me about the artifact came to mind.
Did the moment you experience death mean this?
I could hardly calm down.
“Simon, are you okay?”
Kamibarez looked at Simon with a worried face.
“Your complexion is pale.”
“…….”
The moment he met Kamibarez’s worried eyes, Simon almost collapsed.
I wanted to scream, grab her by the shoulders, shake her like crazy, and scream in tears.
‘Run away! We need to get out of here right now! please! please!’
However, he bit his lip and forced those voices back into his throat with difficulty.
Not now.
Dangerous.
Because there was something more dangerous than an explosion ahead.
‘…….’
Simon finally mustered up the courage to look ahead.
Now, you have the courage to face it.
“The classification of Kakeus’ venom belongs to vascular poison. It destroys blood vessels and blood cells so that the bleeding does not stop, gradually draining the prey’s strength…”
to the pulpit.
It looks like Francesca.
thump- thump- thump- thump-
The root cause of all this is right in front of you.
My heart beats like crazy. Her face turned red.
Is this the feeling of a detective who has a criminal in front of him? I wanted to get up right now and shout that that woman was a priest.
But how are you going to prove it?
How do you prove that she’s a priest and that she’s going to explode the keygen in three hours?
‘……Calm down, calm down. please.’
Butt shakes. My legs are shaking uneasy.
Several times, I imagine running out of the desk and overpowering her.
……This is stupid.
If you pick a fight now, the students who are inspired by her speech will take Francesca’s side.
And her powers were seen in the Forbidden Forest. Now that she can’t use the power of the corps commander, she can’t defeat Francesca.
No, even if all these students in the class now attack, can they win?
bedlam.
The opponent is a ruthless Priest who carried out the plan to blow up Kizen.
Any student who dares to attack will be killed.
‘……calm down. If I die here, it’s really over.’
The artifact created with the power of Nephthys was destroyed. Turning back time twice is probably impossible.
You are right to think that this is your last chance.
You can’t strike a candle with hasty action.
Let’s think about how to prevent the predicted catastrophe.
month by month.
My legs are shaking. The corners of the mouth are dry.
‘……can do. can do. can do.’
Finally.
Simon exhaled a long breath and succeeded in mind control.
First, I pressed Pier’s alter ego with my fingertips.
‘Peer. Lead the entire legion and come over to Kizen right now. Bring Elizabeth too. Right Now! ASAP!’
[boy? My mental state is extremely unstable. what’s going on?]
‘Found the Priest. I’ll give you a detailed explanation later, so please come quickly!’
[Hmm, I see! Go right away!]
Communication with the peer was lost.
‘Whoa.’
The blind reading class isn’t over yet.
Provoking her is dangerous.
At least until the Legion arrives.
Simon put his trembling hands inside his clothes.
Then he took out Kazan’s glasses and put them on with a rattle.
‘…….’
Looking back, Francesca’s face doesn’t change.
There are no visible scars on the cheeks.
The face is just…
as it is……?
‘ah.’
brief moment.
Simon witnessed a terrible sight that was like a nightmare.
In the face of Francesca, who is guiding the students, another face suddenly appeared. The eyes, nose and mouth are visible where the cheeks should be.
No, no.
There wasn’t another one, but now she just turned her head with her biological shell on.
The reason why he couldn’t see through Kazan’s glasses earlier was because he was wearing a living body shell modeled after his own face, so the face on the outside and inside completely matched.
But now there were cracks in his face.
The real Francesca’s face hidden behind the living face was smiling.
Exactly, while staring at this side.
‘……!’
His eyes were raised, the corners of his mouth were ripped open, and he was smiling like a demon.
It’s the same smile he showed when he killed himself a few hours later.
There was a very fine scar on his cheek, probably from Simon.
The goose bumps were like crazy, but Simon desperately managed his expression.
endured
No matter what kind of glance she looked at, I took the class pretending nothing was wrong.
And in my heart, I raised my will to fight.
I swore.
I will stop you at all costs.
‘Whoa.’
The most unbearable part of the class was when her eyes turned to Kamivarez.
Her priorities for killing must undoubtedly include Kamibarez.
Simon eventually took off his glasses.
I’m afraid I can’t stand it any longer.
I’m afraid I’ll run out of the real place.
‘…….’
like that.
A really long period of patience is over.
“Attention. Salute the professor!”
“Thank you for your effort!”
“Good work. Let’s meet again next week.”
Students are leaving the classroom. Some students went to her and left her a word of consolation, and Francesca accepted her story with a kind smile.
It is to the point of nausea from the abomination.
‘For now, let’s follow.’
During class, Simon thought about the number of cases.
To be sure, touching Francesca right now is crazy.
All the professors who can fight her head-on and win are in the ‘Mausoleum’. Since there is no evidence that she is a Priest, it will take time to persuade her assistants and others to cooperate with her.
What’s more, about two hours from now, a large explosion will occur throughout the Kizen building. Given her remaining time, it’s likely she’s already planted the explosives at the school.
Even if it were possible to run to the mausoleum and persuade and call the professors, Francesca, feeling threatened by the professors, would just detonate the explosives remotely.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
The only one who knows this cruel future is myself.
Then, the best is to find out which explosives she has planted and how to activate them, and block them without her knowledge.
Now we have no choice but to get more information.
“…Simon?”
Kamibarez approached with a worried face.
“As expected, Simon, it’s a little strange. It’s not like usual.”
Simon lowered his voice as much as possible.
“Kami, a priest has appeared.”
her face turned blue.
“We’re going to blow up Keygen in a few hours. Gather d!ck, Mailyn, and at least those who are persuaded and get out of Keygen.”
Then Francesca walked out of the classroom. Simon followed quietly, leaving Kamibarez alone.
again. again.
She is walking slowly down the hallway. Simone also lowered her footsteps and joined the crowd as they exited the classroom.
‘If I get caught following you, it’s the end.’
She crossed the hallway and went down to the first floor. She thought she might go out of the poison academy building, but she kept walking and headed for the basement of the building.
‘……I remember. The basement of the Maengdok Academy.’
The fact that dangerous chemicals are stored in the basement of the Maengdok Hall was common knowledge to the Kizen students.
And managing them was also the duty of ‘Professor Keygen’s Toxicology’, the continent’s best poisoning expert.
Little by little the puzzle is now coming together.
The reason Priest killed Lang wasn’t simply to separate the professors from the students in the night of Erebus.
‘If you become a self-taught professor, you’ll be able to handle things underground. I used the explosives there. It must be.’
Her footsteps are clear. She could hear the sound of footsteps as she descended the basement stairs.
Peer has not arrived yet, but there is no time to wait.
Simon is about to follow her down the stairs.
snap!
Suddenly, two arms stretched out from behind blocked Simon’s mouth and pulled him in with great force. and.
again! again! again! again!
Tadadadadadat!
Suddenly, the sound of frantic footsteps climbing the basement stairs sent goosebumps all over Simon’s body.
suffocating fear.
Red-eyed Francesca came upstairs and looked around like a madwoman.
‘……Like, I almost got in trouble.’
Simon was glued to the opposite wall with his mouth shut up by an unknown person.
If he hadn’t been brought to this person, he would have been caught by her unconditionally.
The situation where Francesca is with only one wall.
Simon waited with bated breath. As she was about to step out in front of her, her students poured down her steps.
“It’s normal classes from tomorrow, right?”
“Uh. Still, shouldn’t we skip this week’s duel evaluation?”
“Do you go to Kizen for a day or two?”
Her steps stopped as a crowd of students poured out.
Francesca, who glanced around again, fortunately turned her back and went down the stairs again.
‘Sah, lived.’
Simon felt the tension melt away.
That’s it, but who the hell is this guy? The grip on my body was so strong that I couldn’t move.
“quietly.”
A familiar voice came from behind.
“She’s not yet suspected.”
“……!”
Simon quickly shut up. He held his breath like that for about a minute before hearing the sound of him going down the stairs again.
Finally, the man who had dragged Simon released his hand, and Simon was freed and looked back.
“…… Kazan!!”
Simon’s eyes widened.
In this suffocating situation where you can’t rely on anyone, one of the people you’ve been looking for has just appeared.
Simon jumped at him as if clinging to him.
“Kajan! Kazan! It’s hard to believe, but you have to believe me! I’m actually…!”
“I believe.”
Kazan raised his index finger to signal to lower his voice, then pointed his finger at Nephthys’ shattered artifact.
“You must have come to see the future, right?”
“……!”
“There was an additional mission from Nephthys.”
Kazan took out from his pocket a pendant similar to the one worn around Simon’s neck.
It too was shattered.
“It’s your security duty.”
Kazan spoke in a calm tone.
“If the artifact you have is destroyed, this brother’s artifact is destroyed along with it, and your location information is printed. As soon as I confirmed the damage to the artifact, I ran and came here.”
“……ah!”
“Calm down. From now on, I will believe everything you say.”
Kazan lowered his stance and put his hand on Simon’s shoulder with a serious face.
“I assure you. Whatever dire future awaits us, we can stop it if we work together.”
A calm expression, a confident voice, and a trusting smile.
Simon had a hunch.
“Tell me what kind of future you saw.”
This person can be trusted.
