From Space Idiot to Professor - From Space Idiot to Professor chapter 42

42 – Three of Us (4)

Rustila felt water filling her lungs.

It is sinking.

Thinking that if she did something wrong she could drown, she suddenly came to her senses and started swimming.

Then she felt strange. Her body was too light. Lustila’s gaze turned downward as she attempted to rise to the surface. Two people, a boy and a girl, are slowly falling toward the floor.

It was Eidel and Zernia.

Lu Stilla desperately waved her arms and headed towards the two people. She dramatically managed to grab hold of both men’s clothes.

Looking at her condition, Zernya had fainted and Eidel was bleeding from her head. Hansi was in an emergency situation when she closed her eyes.

“Puha… !”

She gathered all the strength she had from breastfeeding and got out of the lake. Her chilling coldness froze her whole body.

[“Neither of them have any heart attack symptoms. “It’s a blessing in disguise.”]

Lu Stilla looked up at her sky. Her clouds were so thick that it seemed like it would soon rain on her. As she looked around, she found a large cave called Lustila, and she dragged the two of them along.

[“There are no carnivores inside. Let’s go in.”]

Nodding her head at the voice of Vega, she entered the cave. As soon as she came in, her legs felt weak. Rustila sat down and took a deep breath.

She was cold.

The atmosphere of artificial planets is generally cold. Although it has undergone terraforming, the temperature rarely rises above 20 degrees all year round. Especially during times classified as winter like now, night temperatures often fell below freezing.

The school uniform was waterproof so I didn’t get wet, but the problem was my body.

“Ugh.”

My teeth are shaking. The cold moisture met the dry cave air and repeatedly evaporated, taking away body heat. If I didn’t dry off quickly, I was going to die from hypothermia.

Rustila grabbed Eidel and Zernia’s hands. Zernia was still warm, but Eidel’s hands were as cold as ice.

It’s like a corpse.

“No way.”

She hurriedly took off Idel’s clothes. I didn’t have the courage to even unbutton my shirt, which was her last resort, so I put my ear to her chest.

I can hear the heartbeat, albeit faintly.

However, it is not a normal pulse.

‘Hang in there just a little while. ‘I’ll get firewood soon.’

Rustilla gathered up a bunch of fallen leaves and dry twigs and returned to the cave. She placed the stones at her feet in a circle and piled firewood neatly inside to create a bonfire.

“Fire….”

It’s time to smoke.

‘How do I smoke it? I didn’t even have a plasma sword because I dropped it.’

I didn’t have the time or experience to try primitive methods such as a hand drill.

Rustilla’s wandering eyes turned to Eidel’s left hand.

‘Caliper….’

A classic measuring tool that was used in the distant past.

It was the object that Eidel used during the practical evaluation and earlier when she defeated the monster. Eidel was holding the caliper tightly even when she fainted.

It did not seem to be a simple measuring tool. Maybe it was given by foreign media. It may be able to be used as a replacement for a plasma sword.

[“Don’t touch it.”]

Bae Hu-seong, Vega spoke to me.

[“If it’s a foreign article, you can die just by touching it.”]

Did you handle Idel well?

[“That’s because they would have recognized that boy as their owner. If someone other than the owner touches it, there may be a penalty.”]

Lu Stila shook her head despite Vega’s dissuasion.

‘You saved me first.’

If Idel had not come, her life would have been dead.

‘Besides….’

Even if, in the unlikely event that you touch the caliper and die, it would be fortunate if the other two people could survive. There is nothing more enriching than saving two people with one life.

That was when Rustila decided to put her hand to her caliper.

The caliper slipped out of Idel’s hand, circled her in the air, and crashed into her campfire.

Pajik! A spark flashed.

Lou Stilla was startled and fell, hitting her butt.

Embers were rising.

“… ….”

[“… Foreign media guy.”]

Vega burst into laughter.

***

I succeeded in starting a fire with unexpected help. Now all that was left was to dry her body, get out of the mountain, and return to the academy.

But things did not work out as planned.

It started to rain.

It was quite a heavy rain.

“…… Ha.”

The cold energy of rain. Her breath was almost leaking out.

As soon as the embers grew stronger, Rustilla hurriedly tried to take off Eidel and Zernia’s clothes.

First of all, it was necessary to deal with Idel, who was in a serious condition.

But it wasn’t easy. She didn’t know if it was just her top, but taking off all of her bottoms was the most difficult task for a virgin.

It is easier to do a thousand push-ups.

But I still do it. Must do it. Because it’s a medical practice. Using an excuse that wasn’t an excuse, he unbuttoned her shirt and removed her belt. Rustilla’s vision spun.

‘I can’t do this anymore…’ .’

I decided to just brush away the moisture from her arms, legs, and upper body and leave the details to her fire.

“What are you doing?”

“Ugh… !”

Just as she was about to touch Zernya’s scarf, her purple eyes glared fiercely at Lu Stila.

“If you touch it, you will die.”

Zernya slapped away Rustila’s hand as she tried to grab her shawl. Soon she was gurgling and spitting out her water.

After checking her own condition, Zernya casually unzipped her jacket and sat down near her fire.

“Aren’t you going to take off your scarf?”

Rustila spoke carefully.

“It’s waterproof and insulated, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Zernia answered bluntly. She woke up from a faint and her complexion was not very good.

“Damn, my head hurts.”

“It’s because cold water touched me. “You’ll be fine soon.”

“It’s not your problem. Even before she fell into the water, she felt a headache. What the f*ck is going on….”

Zernya sighed and touched her forehead.

Lu Stilla blushed and folded her jacket and skirt. She wasn’t completely naked, but shame is shame.

“Ugh….”

Likewise, Zernya, who was taking off her stockings, turned her head and looked at her Rustila. Zernia said, twisting her mouth.

“Don’t be so scared.”

“… “You are calm even in this situation.”

“I received education when I was young.”

At the same time, Zernia gently touched Eidel’s forearm. Her cheeks reflected in the bonfire were also unusual.

Zernya then checked Eidel’s pulse.

“This is dangerous.”

“What?”

“My pulse is weak. It’s barely noticeable. “Is your heart racing?”

“Uh, yes. “I was running.”

“I don’t think there’s any need for CPR. “Hypothermia is the first thing you have to worry about.”

There is no other way, Zernia muttered, hugging Eidel’s left side with both her arms.

At that moment, Rustilla’s head exploded.

“You, you, you…” .”

“It’s a medical practice. Medical practice.”

Zernia was gritting her teeth. Even for her, she is in an unreliable situation. She’s touching skin with a man she hasn’t even met in a while!

“Didn’t you hate Idel?”

“She doesn’t want to die just because she doesn’t like it.”

“… ….”

“I’m going to become a doctor when I grow up. I’m going to put the Northern Trauma Regional Center in my hands. But if you kill a person right in front of your nose and you can’t do anything, your career will be tarnished. At the very least, you may fail the personality test. This guy is a direct descendant of Rhineland, so if he dies, there is a possibility that we will be held responsible. Uh, okay. Because I will survive here no matter what. Anyway….”

Zernia spoke gibberish. Of course, out of the blue, she started talking about her hopes for the future, and after a while, she randomly added reasons why she had to save Idel.

“… Ah, anyway. When he dies, I don’t want him to become chief. 1St place shines only when there is 2nd place. Aside from this guy, there might not be anyone she can recognize as second place. Uh, okay. Yes. “That’s the truth.”

Zernia’s lips were trembling slightly. As Lustila looked at Zernya like that, she was sympathizing with him without even knowing it.

Yes, this is to save people.

Rustila reflected on her dream. Great prosecutor. If possible, she will go beyond S-class and become EX-class or the highest rank, Omega (Ω), a swordsman who protects the lives and assets of the people of the Federation.

She promised herself that she would become that kind of prosecutor. It’s an idea she’s had for a long time. So she couldn’t lose her classmate here.

I endured the shame that washed over me like a wave and covered Eidel’s right side. Rustilla’s cheeks burned.

Tatak tatak.

In the blazing bonfire, the two girls was killing time by wiggling their toes. I felt like the space was getting warmer.

Night has already arrived.

The rain was getting heavier.

***

Consciousness, which had fluctuated like a wooden plank floating in the ocean, slowly returns. However, that did not mean that I immediately opened my eyes to reality.

“This is…” .”

It was a dingy space. A gloomy place where even sunlight refuses to reach, and dullness and coolness blow around as the wind.

As I was floating around here, a light suddenly turned on in front of me.

Underneath the white light, there were tentacles flexing like ridges.

If you look along the tentacles, you can see several skeins of blue-black thread rolling around.

I glanced at the skein of thread that had fallen on the floor and slowly raised my head. At the same time, a woman’s voice was heard.

“You cut off your own head before falling into the water.”

She grins.

“He’s a lot more interesting than he looks.”

It wasn’t difficult to find out who the owner of that voice was.

Cartesia.

She took the form of her angry body and appeared before me.
