I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy - I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy chapter 131

131. Agents

The man in front of me turned into ashes and collapsed.

The holy sword that pierced him also met a similar end.

Just like that, there was nothing left in front of me.

I just forgot his name

There was no time left to remember the names of those who had already left this world.

More than that,

I had to focus on holding on to much more important memories and images.

Shake-

I collapsed.

He put his head on the ground and grabbed his bleeding chest.

Not yet.

If you lose your mind now, it’s like everything is in vain.

Although I was panting like that,

Someone helped me.

It was a warm embrace.

“…It’s okay.”

“Scarlett…”

“Are you okay. It’ll be okay.”

She kept repeating that she was okay and gave me her arms so I could catch my breath.

I was hugged by Scarlett,

I was able to lean into her arms.

And, let’s close our eyes for a moment.

As my chest grew increasingly sore, I felt someone else’s hand touch it.

Hwaak-

In contrast to the white light coming from the fingertips,

That expression covered in tears.

She was a saint.

“I-I will fix it…”

“Paula.”

“It’s all over. “Now it’s my turn to repay you so that the instructor can be okay too.”

With just one gesture from an awakened saint,

The wound in my heart has completely healed.

The bleeding stops,

Even the torn uniform sprouted again.

But…

“So, so… “

Her tears, she didn’t stop.

Probably because I vaguely know it.

Even with her own abilities, she can’t help it,

Something inevitable is erasing me.

It seemed like she recognized it with her fingertips,

She did not break her stubbornness.

“Don’t make that face…”

Her blood flowed from the corner of the saint’s mouth.

I said to her while wiping it with her trembling hands.

“It’s okay, Paula.”

Because it wasn’t something that could be overdone.

I didn’t want to see her struggling, even spilling her blood.

Then, a tear fell on my cheek.

She raised her head and checked the owner.

It was Adela.

“It’ll be okay. It’ll be just fine.”

Covering the moonlight pouring down on me,

She is looking down at me.

“A person who has never been okay is repeating the same lie until the end.”

“…Adella.”

“Why… Why did it have to be like this? If this was the end you wanted, if I had known… I would have done anything to stop it.”

We all said ‘it’s okay’,

The meaning contained in the word was so different for each person.

Scarlett’s was consideration,

For Paula, it was denial,

For Adela, it was like her resignation.

Because my ‘it’s okay’ was closest to its original meaning.

After biting off the saint’s hand,

The story started.

“A magic circle in the sky. From there, a being of a level that cannot even be compared to before will descend. We don’t have much time. “A week at most.”

Arka’s descent has been confirmed.

“But… Even for them, this coming would be an accident. “It’s too early.”

The last stigma is sloth.

The abilities of Arca, its owner and the first independent being created by Laplace.

He was a growth type similar to Ivan.

That is also why she needed an ‘agent’ called an apostle.

The ability to continuously absorb the demonic energy of the Demon Continent and gradually become stronger exponentially.

So, all that was needed was time.

The remaining Brand Masters she chose were nothing more than chess pieces to prevent the Empire from gaining enough power to unite and invade the Demon Continent.

However, to me, the emergence of the cult leader and the advent of Arka were just as much an accident.

For Arca who will be summoned there,

It would not be a very pleasant situation.

A love affair played as a game.

Even when looking across all world lines, an unprecedentedly early advent.

She was not perfect,

It will return in the middle of Russell.

Will we accept it as an inevitable disaster?

Will they accept it as an enemy worth fighting?

Because it was entirely up to them.

Because now they had to move Russell.

I continued speaking.

“Scarlet Rain.”

I told her, the person in charge of her back alley, what work to do,

“Adela Cathy.”

He also informed me of the final transaction to be entrusted to the young lady who would become the next head of the caravan company.

“Paula Maria.”

And, at the end, the saint who had truly worked a miracle told us what to do.

My consciousness was now heading towards the end.

The names I just called you. I could no longer remember the names that were more important to me than anyone else.

But, I wasn’t afraid.

That’s why I smiled.

Neither vague nor solemn.

It was a light laugh, almost like ridicule.

“I passed the last task, so I can’t treat you like a student from now on.”

You are no longer students.

No matter which world line you search, you will not find such a strong first year student.

So, now.

“Please take care of Russell.”

After saying a brief goodbye,

It was time to trust the girls who had grown up.

I close my eyes,

I relax my body.

I surrendered myself to the consciousness that was fading away,

I didn’t feel lonely.

Because I was held in someone’s arms.

And, until that consciousness completely disappears.

“Ivan.”

Calling my name,

Because it was with a soft voice.

“Thank you.”

I was willing to die for a moment.

Uh…Wait a minute.

I said everything I had to say.

Why do I keep feeling uncomfortable?

Isn’t there just one thing missing?

What? What did I forget to tell you?

From noble mtl dot nete

…Uh.

Did I mention I’d be back?

Ah…

Fuck…

—

After the night longest,

Russell greeted the light of dawn.

Ivan split the religious leaders together with the sky,

The sound was enough to wake up all the instructors in the academy.

The instructors arrived right after everything was over.

Scarlett really wanted to tell her teacher what their expressions were like.

He no longer opened his eyes.

“…”

I vaguely remembered what happened after that, like a dream.

She hugged him and cried, but her instructors separated her and took her somewhere.

So, she was locked in a dark interrogation room with Adela Cathy.

No more tears were shed.

The young lady was also the same.

“Scarlett, your eyes are bright red.”

“You are the same.”

They each have their own way,

I let go of someone I loved.

The tears shed in response were far more than those shed so far.

But now is the time to act.

We must continue the legacy left by our teacher.

Squeak-

And, what appeared in front of them to uncover the truth of the cruelest night.

“Roaring sound. Priests. Platform. And a magic circle.”

A young woman reads the report with eyes colder than ice, then raises her head and looks at them.

“There’s no time, so don’t think or talk. Say whatever you can.”

He was the principal.

“You. And Miho and Ivan. What on earth happened?”

Scarlett answered immediately.

“You can say it. But, before that, I need to listen.”

If you don’t listen now,

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to check.

“My teacher. What happened?”

“…”

The principal looked at Scarlett intently.

After a few seconds of silence, she sighed and spoke to her.

“My heart stopped.”

“…”

Scarlett bit her lip tightly.

Now that she had shed her tears again, she did not have the honor of seeing her teacher who had left her here.

“With the help of a mana stone device, we are forcing her heart that has stopped to beat and only preventing her body from rotting. “I’m trying to force myself to breathe with the help of a device.”

“…”

“To put it bluntly, he’s dead. According to the health instructor, his mind was completely crushed. I mean, I’m in a really bad mood right now.”

The principal in front of me is,

He growled softly.

“Blow it all out.”

He is dead.

In that state, even if you live, you are not alive.

Because you won’t wake up,

He was as good as dead.

This is not the time to hesitate.

Clinging to him is not what he, his teacher he wanted for himself.

What you have to do.

I have to complete the task he gave me.

And, organizing your words neatly.

It was the message of the lady sitting next to me.

“I can tell you.”

“…”

“However, it’s a bit unfortunate to only tell it to you here.”

Adela and Scarlett stood up.

The principal said this as if it were absurd.

“I don’t think you know your position, but you are now a suspect. Where are you going-“

It was then.

Suddenly-

The door was opened, and the thing that opened the door was.

“…What they said is right.”

It was Miho, with a bandage wrapped around her right arm.

The principal’s eyes opened wide.

“How, already…” ” “

“I am somewhat indebted to the saint.”

What woke her up was her saint who stood next to her.

After continuing to stay by Miho’s side and demonstrating the healing power of her fingertips without hesitation.

A person who was on the verge of death,

She was able to regain consciousness in half a day.

Her principal no longer stopped them.

She was competent and quick to judge the situation.

“…Go to the faculty conference room.”

“Could you please guide me?”

“But before that. As the principal in charge of this place, I need to hear one thing.”

After leaving the interrogation room,

They each look with their own determination at the principal who asks from behind.

“That black magic circle. What is it?”

“This is the stage where evil spirits will descend.”

“…Then, do you have any plans to prepare for that advent?”

Plan.

Ivan had already planned it.

The agents who do it.

Their representative, Scarlett, left only a brief resolution.

“There is.”
