I Want To Save the Academy Time-Limited Madman - I Want To Save the Academy Time-Limited Madman chapter 129

129 – 10. The Blue Sky and the Water Droplet Mage (1) – Her True Name Is.

After I conquered the 13th floor of the Devil’s Tower, the exam was delayed by a week, and then another week.

When I asked why, they said it was because new parts had been added to the exam questions.

“I can’t take it anymore. How can the same student increase the exam scope with their own hands?”

“Why? Thanks to Haulran’s favor, we got two more weeks to study, isn’t that good enough?”

“I want to finish quickly and take a break!”

“Why didn’t you study for the exam…? You really didn’t know how to crack it…! If you knew the 13th floor would be cracked, wouldn’t you have studied?”

As a result, I received cold stares from many people. However, most of them sent me kind gazes.

The academy’s exam delay was not just a shock to them.

“Wow! The exam period has been extended by a week, senior! *clap clap* *cheer*!”

After risking my life to conquer the tower, Jeena’s mental state had collapsed under the harsh reality of having to study. Her mental state, comparable to a broken porcelain, was now doing a ridiculous shoulder dance, claiming it was a dance that summoned scores.

From afar, it looked like she was performing an Indian ritual, or summoning an evil spirit with a mysterious incantation. Either way, it was not normal.

I tried to hide my expression and spoke of the cold reality.

From noble mtl dot nete

“There are only 9 days left.”

Uh-huh.

Jeena’s body froze for a moment, then moved again.

“I didn’t hear that! *clap clap*! I still have 9 days!”

“Dancing won’t increase your scores. You need to open your book and study. And there are only 9 days left. Why are you wasting precious time dancing?”

“Aah, I didn’t hear that~ *clap clap*!”

“Okay, good luck with your exam studies.”

A Buddha sees a Buddha, and Jeena sees Jeena. If I continued the conversation, I might end up doing that ridiculous shoulder dance too, so I quickly escaped.

Looking back, it was quite addictive.

“Take care, *clap clap*!”

“……”

I’m worried about Jeena’s state.

It’s unlikely, but if she fails the exam miserably, she won’t be able to avoid being held back.

.

The atmosphere around Pu-re is unsettling lately.

She sometimes emitted a gloomy atmosphere, but recently, it has become extremely dark.

Even when I tried to talk to her, she would be startled and give short answers or avoid me altogether, which had happened several times.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I put on a mask and followed her. And then I found out the reason.

“My friend, Pu-reu, so how’s it going? Hmm?”

“Ah… it’s… sorry. Diares doesn’t think about meeting anyone or doing anything like that yet…”

“…Really? That’s a shame. I thought Pu-reu and I would naturally get along.”

“…..”

“Don’t say that and try talking to me once more. If you and that person meet, I’ll take good care of you, Pu-reu-ya.”

There were many people, like nobles, gathered around her, sticking to her like leeches.

“The parasites are attached.”

After further investigation, I found out that the leader of the group was Medeia from the Lypine family.

She had been indirectly tormenting Pu-reu since her school days.

This woman, who had been bothering Pu-reu, was now asking to introduce her own close friend, and Pu-reu’s heart couldn’t be at ease.

More than anything, as someone who could see not only the living but also the “dead,” I could clearly see what Medeia had done.

It was time to catch the parasites.

.

“Diaries. Want to go to the magic exhibition together? I have something to talk about…”

On the day I decided to catch Medeia, Pu-reu made a suggestion to me, looking really down.

It was a shame, but I couldn’t accept her offer. I had an important appointment that day.

“Sorry. I have an important appointment today.”

“Ah… okay. We can go to the exhibition next time. Important appointments are important, don’t worry about it, Diaries…”

But I couldn’t reject her, and she looked disappointed with her head hung low.

Seeing Pu-reu’s sad face, I felt guilty. This was all because of that parasite-like woman.

I rejected her offer and headed straight to where Medeia was.

“Hey? Are you… did Pu-reu call you here?”

Medeia’s face brightened when she saw me. It seemed like everything was going according to plan.

“Yes.”

“It seems like you’re useful too. Let’s take a walk and talk?”

We exchanged formal greetings while walking around the square.

“…So I really wanted to meet you once. Honestly, if not during our school days, we wouldn’t have had the chance to meet later, right?”

“That’s right.”

“You think I’m… well, we don’t really match, do we?”

When I heard that, I couldn’t help but stop in my tracks.

“You’re a good match.”

“…Huh?”

A bad smell spread throughout my body. Seeing ghosts meant getting used to that smell.

Medeia’s torment wasn’t just limited to Pu-reu.

She had killed people in the past.

I leaned in close to her ear and continued talking.

“You killed them.”

“What…?”

“That day, because the maid stumbled over her words, because she was sleepy, because she was bored, you mercilessly trampled on her head.”

Medeia’s entire body trembled as if covered in goosebumps, and she froze.

“The young maid, who was constantly pleading with you, begged for forgiveness. Please spare her life.”

“Ah…”

“You killed her.”

“Ah…ah…”

“At some point, your sanity returned, but by then, the maid had already fainted. Panicked, you called your father for help.”

“aaah!!”

“You didn’t ask your father to save the maid’s life, but to ‘take care’ of her.”

Medeia looked like she didn’t want to hear it and tried to cover her ears. I firmly grasped her hand and continued.

“In the end, your father put the maid in a sack and threw her into the river. Do you know what happened?”

“…what, what…”

“The maid was still alive back then.”

“…..ah.”

“You must have thought about it over and over, telling yourself that you didn’t kill her, that it was just a momentary mistake. You thought no one would ever find out, and you’d be able to live a lie for the rest of your life.”

“Don’t say it, please!!”

“You killed her. You took the life of that child who had a brilliant dream, with your own hands. Just because you were bored.”

Medeia covered her face with both hands. I ignored her and continued, speaking on behalf of the dead spirit.

“I’m telling you this because you touched someone who belongs to me. You’ll live the rest of your life in fear, and it’s better if you give up any thoughts of escaping through death.”

“…..”

“Death is where it truly begins.”

After hearing my words, she trembled with fear, her entire body shaking, and grabbed my hand.

“P-please. Please don’t tell anyone. I’ll do anything you say! I won’t approach Puru again, I swear! So please…”

I shook off her hand and finished my last words.

“There’s one more thing I want to tell you.”

“What…what else…”

“The soup that hit her head was really hot.”

“That…that’s…how…”

“Your father, who ordered the cover-up, will also not be able to escape punishment. I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life, even after death.”

Medeia looked like she was about to collapse, her face pale. I ignored her and spoke to the lingering spirit around her.

“I’ve said everything I wanted to say. You’re on your own.”

The dead maid nodded her head in gratitude.

From now on, she wouldn’t be able to get close to Puru again.

I turned my body, having successfully completed the ritual.

“…was this what they meant by a ‘crucial promise’?”

“Puru?”

There, a magician with mint-colored hair had just arrived. She looked extremely sad, with a gloomy expression.

Let’s think about it from her perspective for a moment.

She had been rejected by a friend who had promised to attend the magic exposition together, and now that friend was with the woman who had tormented her, exchanging whispers.

It’s a situation where I can’t help but feel good.

Before I could even open my mouth to clear up the misunderstanding, she spoke up first.

“I saw it all back then.”

“What?”

“The kiss between Jena and Dias. It looked like they really liked each other.”

“That’s…”

“It’s okay, though. Jena’s a good junior, and Dias seems to like her too… But what’s going on now? Why did you make an important promise with that girl? Why did you even whisper to each other?”

Her expression gradually changed, as if she was about to cry.

“It’s all a misunderstanding. Let me explain first.”

“…Sorry, but I don’t think I can make a rational judgment right now. I’ll go first.”

She fluttered her mint-colored hair and disappeared like magic. It’s not easy to catch a fleeing Pul.

I was able to get information about Pul from Jena, who was searching the academy frantically.

“Tell me, and I’ll give you a peck on the cheek.”

“No time for jokes.”

“I’m not joking. If you don’t tell me, I won’t say anything.”

“…Can I get a loan?”

“Then I’ll owe you one, and you can collect later.”

Jena wrote something in her notebook with an extremely serious expression. She’s really scary.

“Pul-senpai left. She suddenly packed her bags in a hurry and said she was going back home? Something must have happened at her house.”

Jena’s face scrunched up in concern.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know, but she didn’t look good. She was sweating a lot.”

If something happened at Pul’s home, it must be related to her family. If someone in her family died, just like in the original history…

“…That can’t be.”

The possibility of her disappearing suddenly, the possibility of me erasing her, flashed through my mind.

That can’t be. Pul and Odium are different people, after all. I created them that way.

I, who should be confident, felt like I was seeing the status window of a game I played a long time ago.

{Mass Murderer Odium.}

Personality: Ruthless Mass Murderer, Avenger

Danger Level: 100/100

Title: The Magician of Blood Droplets.

Story related to her: Originally, she was a talented magician from the eastern Alpin village, but after her family’s death, she went mad.

She would live together with other creatures in the forest, but she would mercilessly cast killing magic on humans.

The student from Laon Jena who defeated her said this about Odium:

If just one person had tried to save her, maybe something would have changed.

If just one person had tried to help her, maybe something would have changed.

Finally, the student from Laon Jena said they picked up a name tag that fell from Odium’s clothes.

Yes.

That’s right.

Her real name is ‘Alpin Pul’.

I hastily packed my luggage.

“Where are you going, senior?”

“I’ll be back soon, so focus on studying for the midterm exams.”

I casually kissed Jena’s cheek and packed my luggage to leave.

I should head to Pure’s hometown.
