Episode 138. truth (1)
“Keck!”
The member of the academy whose neck was suppressed was unable to resist in any way and fell to the ground.
I belatedly raised my hand and tried to use magic, but I wasn’t the type to fully look at it.
I grabbed his wrist where mana was manifesting and immediately broke it.
“Ahh!”
Even if they are high-level wizards with magic power of 7 stars or higher, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Anyway, if you can’t use magic, you’re a 7-star, nabal, and you’re just a human being overcome by power.
“Oh, the flame of purification… … !”
The academy member was so startled that he tried to cast a spell in a hurry, but
-puck!
With a light hitting sound, he also fell, rolling on the floor several times.
“First of all, I followed you and subdued you, but why did you do that?”
Set, the person responsible for the blow, calmly shook his hands and asked.
“These guys. “It broke down the intact ceiling and separated us.”
The Balrog’s attack wasn’t crazy, or at least it didn’t touch any of the pre-installed traps in the ruins.
The ruins simply collapsed without any sign or warning.
Do you think this is a natural phenomenon?
Absolutely not.
While that guy named Charon was blocking the Balrog’s attack and distracting him, the rest of the guys who were waiting were working behind the scenes.
Then, we were left behind by the Balrog, waiting patiently for us to die in vain.
If he escapes, they can just kill him.
“W-what are you talking about? We’re just here to… … .”
Making excuses that don’t work is of no help in overcoming this situation.
It seems that our stubborn wizard still doesn’t know the laws of the world.
What can we do?
In this era of peace, that can happen if you stay in your closet and study only trivial things.
I have never seen an animal as honest as a human being in my life.
Even if you pretend that the cancer is solid, pretend that there is an incision, or show vain vain, in the end, everyone becomes the same in front of the product of pain.
I twisted the arm I was holding onto mercilessly once again.
“Aaaah!”
A desperate scream that felt as hard as dust.
There is no need to torture these guys.
Although he only broke one of his joints, he cried out on the verge of death and pleaded for help.
“stop! stop! “It wasn’t you guys we wanted in the first place!”
They are talking about obvious things as if they were some great secret.
The original reason they came here is to find clues about the book.
Our meeting was completely coincidental and not intentional, and Lunav has already told us that he has no interest in magic books, so why is there any need to separate us and take independent action?
There was probably another purpose besides the magic book.
“All we wanted from the beginning was Lunab! “He was just trying to get him out of here!”
Take him out? Lunav?
We’re all going to leave together peacefully after work anyways, so why are we taking them out separately?
Even though the details were different, didn’t they all have the same goal of finding clues to the magic book?
Unless you’re trying to kidnap her, there’s no reason to do this… … .
kidnap?
At that moment, a thought passed through my head and my pupils shook without my knowledge.
A genius girl from Garam Kingdom who is born once every hundred years.
Bees are attracted to fragrant flowers, and thieves flock to shining jewels.
Naturally, evil people who covet that ability will flock around a genius with infinite potential.
Didn’t I personally experience that through a previous kidnapping incident?
‘The person I hate the most.’
Suddenly, when I first mentioned Charon, her face flashed before my eyes.
A look that went beyond simple dislike and was close to contempt.
Unless there was some other reason to avoid it, not just because he was a member of the academy, there was no reason to look at him like that.
“under… … .”
I got up from my seat with a sigh.
“Are you from the opposing faction of the Garam Society?”
“… … !”
Their eyes immediately opened wide.
It was a reaction that could have been known without having to be told that it was so.
“Opposition? “What is that again?”
The Set guy scratched his head as if this was his first time hearing this.
I didn’t care and continued to interrogate him.
“Where is Lunab now?”
“Well, it ran away to the other side without any time to do anything… … .”
“Which direction did you go!!”
“I went that way!”
Without further delay, I turned in the direction he pointed.

“hey! draft! “Where are you going?”
A startled Set followed and shouted, but I paid no heed and continued running.
[How does this sound familiar? Are you really a senior who cares deeply about your juniors?]
I don’t think I can respond to Kayram’s teasing anymore.
“You really are a junior who requires a lot of effort.”
I just hope you stay safe until I get there.
* * *
I felt very dazed, as if I was having a midsummer night’s dream.
Lunav couldn’t get rid of the thoughts about the mysterious man she met a while ago.
Although he admitted that he was a being named Remi Haram and that he was related to the demonic beast that exists in these ruins, he did not clearly state why he was actually a demonic beast.
What on earth is he?
Even though she seemed to be in deep trouble, she quickly shook her head.
Because now is not the time to get lost in thoughts.
I had to find Sian and Set as quickly as possible and overcome this situation.
“You’ll be okay, right?”
Although I was a bit anxious, I wasn’t worried.
Just two academy students have to deal with a magical beast that even 10 skilled wizards could not handle.
It’s something you can’t even use as a joke, but Lunav didn’t think it was impossible.
There is no solid evidence.
To be honest, because it is a draft,
Since he was the only Xian in this world he could trust and rely on, he was not worried at all.
Since when did it start?
You say you clung to him because you had a good first impression, but now you are so absorbed in him that you even think it borders on obsession.
“… … .”
The sound of the heart beating echoes throughout the body.
Have you ever felt such a vital pulse in your life?
Without any will or goal, he thought his future was to just live a life created for others and go vain.
But not now.
To the extent that my heart, which has been stopped for a long time, starts to beat with such excitement, I have something I want and hope for now.
Did you say that if you achieve what you want and hope for, that is the truth?
Then, in order to achieve that truth, I will move forward desperately.
“… … !”
A familiar smell wafted from the end of the passage.
A bitter smell that strongly irritates the tip of the nose.
There was only one person in the world who gave off this smell.
Lunav, who became impatient, pursed her lips and ran out.
But that was only for a moment, as soon as he sensed another familiar presence ahead, he immediately stopped.
“Lunab!”
It was Charon and the academy members who followed her.
Runab quickly turned and fled in the other direction.
Not wanting to miss this, Charon raised his hand and immediately cast magic.
-bang!
Soon, a magically created silver wall blocked her path.
“Stop it. Lunav.”
Lunav, whose escape route was blocked, turned around again with a distorted expression.
“Why are you looking like this? “It’s not like Lunav.”
Lunav spoke with indifferent eyes.
“Is it like me? “Did I ever have a side of myself while I was at the academy in the first place?”
Charon looked at her with indifferent eyes without answering.
“You are indispensable to our Garam Society and essential for the development of magic and humans. “We absolutely cannot stand by and watch something impure happen to you.”
A being that goes beyond the wishes of the Garam Society and resolves the long-held wish of humans who have been endowed with weakness since birth.
To them, Lunav was more than a sacred being.
“There are two things in this world I never believe.”
She listened in silence, but soon opened her mouth as if it were insignificant.
“One thing my grandfather said was that he could never be without me. The other is your statement that you live for human development.”
Charon’s brow furrowed.
“Grandfather is the one who will immediately find a replacement for me when I am gone. “His regrets only last for a moment, and he is never the type of person to be sad or frustrated.”
“… … .”
“But you are more untrustworthy than that old man. Charon Raines. Are you living for human development? “You live for your vain desires, not for human development.”
Charon only frowned and did not respond in particular.
In response, Lunav said one last word that could provoke him.
“Am I wrong? “Charon Raines, a heretic from the Auram Society?”
“… … !”
The first to react were the academy members who came with Charon.
They probably didn’t expect to hear those words from her, so they looked at each other and were wondering what to do.
“… … .”
Charon was still staring at her with an unchanging, straight expression.
It didn’t take long for the mouth to open.
“Since when did you know?”
“For quite some time.”
“Then why didn’t you tell the president?”
“No matter how much I told you, nothing would change for me. At that time, not only did I not have any will to do anything, I thought it didn’t really matter which side I was swayed by. “Because my future was already decided.”
As if he didn’t feel the need to delay further, Charon expressed his mana calmly.
“How foolish. Even though you know your own potential and value, you do not realize what the truth is. “What on earth made you like this, Lunav?”
“Truth? The truth isn’t that big of a thing. “If there is a path I want to follow, that is the truth.”
In response, Lunav also gathered all the mana in his body.
“Idiots like you will never understand… … .”
There is no need to save anything.
I will gather all the mana I can, and show everything I can do.
After completing preparations, Runab immediately shouted out a spell.
“The grace of holy light will protect me… … .”
With the spell, light appeared on the ruins, and soon a pure white wall spread out in front of her.
Light attribute defense magic ‘Wall of Resistance’.
It is a magic that gathers all the magic in the body to block the enemy’s approach, and its power varies greatly depending on the magic power of the caster.
However, when Charon saw that, he laughed as if it was funny.
“What difference will it make if we delay it like this? Are you hoping that a savior will come to save Runab?”
“Why don’t you say something like that through my wall first? If you are not confident, you can cooperate and destroy it. I wouldn’t call it particularly cowardly… … .”
As if in response to those words, Charon stretched out her hand toward the wall of resistance she had summoned.
-Kwasik!
Even though the magic hadn’t been used yet, the wall was already starting to crack.
No matter how genius her talent was, there were clear limitations to dealing with the complete magic power of a 7-star level.
However, Lunav did not give in, and strengthened the wall by further increasing the mana in her body.
“Are you going to resist until you collapse? “Now I can’t help but feel pity for it.”
Charon also continued to gradually increase his mana without stopping.
Rather than pressing down with overwhelming force from the beginning, it was as if he was trying to make her feel an insurmountable power gap.
How long has it been like that?
While the wall was repeatedly cracked and strengthened, Lunav’s mana continued to be depleted.
Sweat poured down Runab’s body as she slowly reached her limit, and her breathing gradually began to become heavier.
Charon, on the other hand, did not show the slightest sign of distress and continued to increase his mana with a silent expression.
-dump
Lunav, who had been holding on, finally lost her balance and fell to one knee.
My vision slowly became blurry and my mind became disoriented, but I continued to use my magic without losing concentration.
‘Not much time left… … .’
But now I knew that I was getting closer to the end.
But I won’t give up.
Even if this one body breaks, the will within will not disappear,
As long as it remains, I will resist until the end.
For the truth that we sincerely desire and hope for.
“… … !”
At that moment, a familiar smell wafted from somewhere again.
Unlike before, the smell was quickly approaching her, and as the smell became stronger, a smile gradually began to appear on her lips.
And finally, the moment when the image of someone I had been eagerly waiting for was captured in the field of vision,
“senior… … .”
Lunav lost consciousness and collapsed.
