Admission is a waste of time (178)
Lesson 35. The Last Changeling – 3
[Master – You arrived? Really?]
[I – I told you I’d finish quickly. I’m going to where you are now.]
[Master – No… … Sorry, I’m fine. Dokgo Yeon is fighting Ryu Cheol-myeong right now.]
[I – You have to be nice to me a lot after I’m done.]
[Master – Please. Be careful.]
Mira closed the mirror and smiled.
The promise has been secured.
I was so upset that I almost cried when I lost my player to Ruchel, but in fact, I had been prepared for it to some extent ever since I heard that Rebellion was going to Ruchel’s hometown for special activities.
But it can’t be any later.
From now on, we had to turn things around.
“Mira, I’m dying.”
“You won’t die that much, Shati.”
The reason why we were able to quickly finish the special activity that was scheduled for up to two weeks was extremely simple.
Not only did he negotiate with Professor Campanella, risking a negative evaluation, to set up a special activity area in advance, but he also carried out various tasks in advance, and then pushed through with overwhelming force to resolve the situation in one fell swoop.
The all-out effort utilizing the student council’s connections and power was certainly successful, but in other words, it was like trying to finish all the work that should have been done in two weeks in one day, so it was inevitable that fatigue would build up.
Originally, they were going to rest for a day and depart the next day, but Mira went berserk after witnessing the broadcast accident between Ruchel and Ban Yu-won, so they ended up departing straight for the E-1 dimension.
So it was natural that there was a difference in the enthusiasm of the two people.
“I really don’t want to give it to you, but… … eat it.”
“You should have given it to me a long time ago.”
Mira opened the bag of candy she had received from Ban Yu-won and handed over to Shati one of the Elixir of Life candies individually wrapped inside.
Then, as if all the fatigue and exhaustion she had felt up until now was just an act, Shati caught the candy with a bright smile and put it straight into her mouth.
“Ahhh~ I think I’ll live. Isn’t it worth dating the planning manager just to be able to eat this every day?”
“Yuwon is not your patissier.”
Mira spoke bluntly and threw some candy into my mouth too.
Mira felt very fortunate as she felt her physical strength and magical powers returning to normal while doing special activities with Shati.
If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have thought of doing something so foolish.
“Is the transparency mode maintained?”
“Yeah, but they’ll probably be detected the moment they enter the atmosphere. Exodus seems to be biting the ship… … .”
The spaceship carrying the two was approaching the only mana civilization in E-1, the Jade Star Jedda.
There are only a few minutes left until atmospheric reentry.
They were taking their time and observing their surroundings.
Originally, Exodus would station a support team outside the atmosphere of any star it invaded in preparation for an emergency, but that support team was seen retreating to the dimensional wall.
“Did Yuwon do everything?”
“The planning director was good, but that wasn’t the case. It’s strange. There’s no way Exodus would have turned back so easily after coming here with a plan.”
“That’s Yuwon… … .”
“Why do you always act like an idiot whenever it comes to the planning department head these days?”
As Shati, who had been analyzing the situation in Jeddah by zooming in on the spaceship’s display, turned around with a look of shock, Mira spoke seriously with her purple eyes full of sincerity.
“Shati, isn’t this it? If love becomes too intense… … you could die.”
Mira speaks while holding her chest with one hand.
Perhaps it’s because she feels him while eating the candy that Ban Yu-won made, or because her heart is pounding as she recalls the accident she saw on the broadcast earlier.
“You’re seriously ill. You don’t have to die to prove it. Okay?”
Shati narrowed his vertically slit demon eyes and roughly followed her words.
But the answer she got was beyond her imagination.
“Of course. My life is no longer my own.”
Shati was fed up.
Shati vowed never to listen to Mira’s love story again, and entered the coordinates into the spaceship to set it in motion.
“I found Ryu Cheol-myeong. I’ll move in that direction for now.”
“The curse is interconnected, and we’ll be discovered the moment we approach, so a surprise attack is pointless. Let’s just keep charging.”
“wait for a sec.”
At the moment when he could have just dashed in and strengthened Ryu Cheol-myeong’s restrictions and held him back, Shati suddenly operated the instrument panel with a tense expression.
A small display appeared next to the display capturing the scenery of Jeddah.
The footage was transmitted from a camera mounted on the back of the spaceship, and the problem was that it captured a fleet moving in formation.
“What is this…?”
“A deep red spear. Crimson Spear… … .”
Crimson Spear is the name of a group of dimensional pirates with a notorious reputation throughout the entire dimension.
It is the successor to the famous Exodus, but unlike Exodus, who hates upper dimensions and their rulers, it is rumored to be receiving support from an S-class dimension, and in some ways, it is a force with a darker background than Exodus.
“It’s already so complicated that I’m dying, so why are these things showing up too?”
Shati let out a grand sigh.
I don’t need to ask why they showed up here.
They must have come running after receiving information that Exodus had appeared.
Maybe I can aim for Jeddah while doing something else… … .
“That’s why Exodus retreated. But why?”
“Shati… … . Can I ask the president for support?”
“I reported it and put it in right away. … … I hope it only clashes with those Exodus guys.”
Shati increased the speed of the spaceship.
This is because, no matter how things turn out, I have come to the conclusion that I must quickly resolve Ryu Cheol-myeong and join forces with Ban Yu-won.

“Mira, are you okay?”
“I have a feeling… … this isn’t good.”
Mira’s beautiful forehead was distorted.
“I don’t think the goal is Exodus.”
“then?”
“Maybe… … me.”
At Mira’s words, Shati forgot to breathe for a moment.
“Why did you call those guys… … No, that’s okay. That means Ryu Cheol-myeong called those guys considering that we would come.”
“I’ll tell you later. For now, let’s hurry.”
The spaceship has broken through the atmosphere.
At that moment, she felt the connection between the curse manifesting through Shati and controlled by Mira grow stronger and pull her towards it.
Ryu Cheol-myeong, who was at the end of this line, would have also noticed the presence of the two people.
“The Exodus fleet is in full retreat. Engaging the Crimson Spear. Ah… … Maybe you’re right, Mira. A few ships have broken away from the engaged fleet and are heading this way.”
“… … .”
Mira’s complexion turned pale.
Shati also knew very well that she was the most important being even in the A-1 dimension.
It is also possible that she will be targeted first if an inter-dimensional conflict arises.
No, it’s the opposite.
If anything happens to her, the interdimensional conflict could escalate.
But why would that timing be now!
“Mira, wake up.”
“I’m going to help, but what if I end up being a burden to Yuwon?”
Oh, no.
“I didn’t want to let that thought get to me if possible,” Shati sighed again.
“If it’s better for Yuwon’s safety if I die… … .”
“I told you five minutes ago not to think too hard. It’s all the Planning Director’s fault. What would he think if you died on your own?”
“but.”
“Mira, calm down.”
Ah, I see a large ship floating in the air.
A ship left alone, occupied by outsiders, as the entire Exodus fleet retreated.
Even the red and black auras fighting fiercely above were clearly visible.
One would be Ryu Cheol-myeong, and the other would be… Dokgo Yeon? Shati stuck out her tongue inwardly.
No matter how many curses there are, the level of the aura itself will not decrease.
What kind of monster is it that you’re confronting head on?
“The request has been accepted. Professor Jeong is leaving to provide support. So there will be no problem, right?”
“Professor Jeong? Surely not Cantone.”
“That can’t be. The president is trash, but since he’s decided to support me, he’ll definitely support me. Now, pull yourself together. Let’s go kill Ryu Cheol-myeong.”
“… … Yeah. I’m going to kill you.”
The spaceship opened.
The two threw themselves out of the spaceship and used their magic to float into the sky.
The remaining spaceship quickly turned into a small model and came into Shati’s arms.
“let’s go.”
“Yeah. … … Ah.”
Shati was relieved to see Mira calming down and looking at her with a calm expression, but the next moment, she realized that her mirror was vibrating and made a strange expression as she checked it.
“what’s the matter?”
“No… … I guess my prediction was right.”
“Shati?”
“No, it’s okay. I was just checking the insurance. So… … you and the planning manager will be okay.”
Two people, of course.
Shati swallowed hard those words and spread her demon wings.
After a long glide, the ship came into view.
“You’re here――――――――!!”
The man’s voice, screaming with hatred, rang in their eardrums.
He feels it too.
The moment the two of them caught sight of him, his strength would have been reduced by half.
“How dare you! You insolent bitches who are trying to bind me, Ryu Cheol-myeong!”
A red aura shot out in the shape of a crescent moon, targeting the lives of the two, but something that Shati had summoned into the air without any preparation blocked it and disappeared instead.
The Evil One’s unique power, summoning.
Unlike her kin, Shati could only summon uncontrollable monsters, but since she could precisely control their coordinates, there was no problem using them as sacrificial lambs to block enemy attacks.
“There wouldn’t be any problem as long as you behaved like a professor, you horny little bastard!”
The moment you successfully block its attacks, the constraints placed on it increase its power.
The professor attacked the student, so now it’s his turn to pay the price.
Shati held out her hand and aimed at the bastard, firing a dark, dark black laser.
Of course it was dark magic.
“asleep!”
“The Gravekeeper of Purgatory!”
Mira also called out the name of her contracted constellation and manifested her power.
A fearsome power that greatly amplifies the effects of the curse you have placed on your enemies, weakening them and ultimately leading to their death.
“You will die from the resentment you created!”
The red aura that had been gushing endlessly on the ship was noticeably shrinking.
“Crash!”
“――Haaaaaap!”
And that was the moment Dokgoyeon had been waiting for.
Dokgo Yeon, who had leapt bravely, ended up slashing Ryu Cheol-myeong’s waist with his sword.
The lower body melts after being hit by death, and the upper body soars into the air as if running away from it.
What’s surprising is that despite all this, the bastard is still alive.
“You’re not human, you’re already a monster.”
Dokgo Yeon bit his lip and tried to chase after him, but when he realized that the blood pouring out of the bastard’s wound was full of aura, he quickly retreated to avoid it.
Meanwhile, what was Ryu Cheol-myeong, who only had half his body left, thinking at this moment?
If I could take just one person along the path to their own certain death… … .
It is not Dokgo Yeon who cut his own waist, but someone who made him into such a miserable state.
“Ugh… … !”
The blood flowing down his waist contained the aura and temporarily created legs.
The fake legs, made by literally squeezing the life out of him, gave Ryu Cheol-myeong the power to jump.
All those who opposed him were shocked by the tenacious vitality of the man who had taken up the position of full professor at the Academy.
“Why would you do that when you have that kind of ability?”
“Let’s go together.”
Ryu Cheol-myeong leaped into the air again.
Each drop of blood gushing from the bastard became a bullet of red aura and shot out at the two people.
Dokgo Yeon is unable to help them as he has exhausted all his strength from the last blow that cut off the bastard’s waist.
Mira and Shati deployed a shield to block it, though.
In the next moment, the blade carrying the aura was already approaching the two people’s noses.
If there is one thing that the students who were hostile to Ryu Cheol-myeong overlooked.
That is because they did not know how tenacious the life force of those who are comparable to transcendent beings is.
No matter how powerful the curse is that binds the person and how much damage is inflicted, the will to transcend the criminal exerts a power that overcomes limitations and common sense.
There was only one person who was still a student and didn’t know that fact.
-Phew.
Unable to overcome his obsession, he ended up killing one of them.
whattttt nooooo
