Parallel World Academy - Parallel World Academy chapter 116

Episode 116 Prelude.(2)

“So… Are you the right teacher?”

Tears were already welling up in Esmeralda’s eyes.

“Does anyone know that you have feathers?”

“No, no.”

“Then it’s only me. You naughty little bastard.”

Upon hearing the answer, Esmeralda jumped straight into the phoenix’s arms and cried out loud.

It was possible because her body was small enough to be embraced by Adele, the Phoenix, who was still a boy.

“After hearing that, the teacher is certain. By the way, why did you come to see me?”

“I have something to ask you.”

“What do you want?”

“You have someone you need to help.”

Esmeralda gave her a puzzled look.

Because Phoenix was not a person who asked for favors.

Especially for the disciple himself.

“Who are you? that is?”

“Do you know a friend named Park Seong-jin?”

I couldn’t have known

It was because he was the one who held the lottery ceremony for the midterm exam at Trinity Academy last year, when he became famous.

“I know. I’ve met you before. We don’t know each other very well.”

“okay? That’s good. I want you to help him.”

“What’s going on?”

“I’m going to fight Jinjo soon. You should be his helper.”

“yes?”

Esmeralda’s reaction was absurd.

It was also a natural reaction.

At the most, I thought there would be a story about helping me join a certain hero team or taking on the role of a guardian, but I was asking for a job that was not enough even if I took on the role at the team level.

“Literally. Please join forces to defeat Jinjo.”

“Since you are young, you have developed a lot of joking skills. Teacher.”

“Have you ever seen me joking like this?”

“… I’ll tell you straight up. That is nonsense.”

She was well aware that most of the stories about Jinjo floating around in the world were rumors.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, there was no enemy like a cadet.

It’s been 20 years since I’ve been a hero, but have I not learned so much that I can’t even tell the difference between the possible and the impossible?

Of course, compared to the best heroes, I was still a bit immature, but how much was the jjambap I ate?

“I am not asking you to show yourself. All you have to do is pretend to be a moderate help nearby.”

“I’m not worried about myself, I’m worried about that child.”

“You know it’s going to be a civil war anyway, right? In the end, it was a fight between Cecilia and Steven. Nothing so dangerous will happen.”

“Yeah, but… What if Cecilia loses?”

“I’m asking you to help because it’s better to help than to stand still.”

Adele knew Esmeralda’s true intentions.

It’s hard to feel good to hear that someone you’ve loved all of your life suddenly appears and says something like this.

It was natural to see a blunt reaction.

However, unable to leave her pampered forever, Adele decided to make a bold decision.

“Give this feather to him. Do you know what I mean?”

“Why are you doing this? It’s a relationship that doesn’t even have a face-to-face relationship.”

“Listen. I am not the one who can protect you forever. Rather, he is a person who is sick of this world and wants to die. If I die, are you going to spend the rest of my life just being a teacher, Taryeong? To say that you have decided to inherit my will is the same as being prepared to become the second phoenix yourself. You know.”

“However… ”

“Take care of your juniors. I don’t feel sorry for you, but considering the things I’ve done for you so far, it’s not like I can’t ask for this much.”

Esmeralda nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes.

Because I made a promise to my beloved teacher.

“How did it feel to be reunited after a long time?”

“There was no bitterness, no runny nose, and no fuss. It was still the same as when I was a kid, so it wasn’t like I couldn’t see it that much.”

“I must have loved you for a while. No matter how young a woman, it is not easy to be ugly at that age.”

“I know how it felt. But, she is like a precious daughter to me. You can’t ruin someone’s life.”

“I don’t understand. Well, it’s unavoidable because our inclinations are at the extremes.”

“I can’t understand you either.”

There were dozens of disciples, but Nihilis lost all of them.

There are only two people who can be called disciples, but they are all living phoenixes.

The way they ask, the way they treat each other, and the way they send it all were completely different, so they couldn’t understand each other.

However, they both respected each other.

“Still, it’s surprising. As Esmeralda said, I still don’t know why he even gave the feather to that guy who didn’t even know him.”

“You don’t intend to keep him in a place where there is no light forever. People, things, or things, they have to be where they are supposed to be. Of course, she wanted Esmeralda to grow up, but she also didn’t want her friend’s apprentice to be in the shadows. The first person to receive feathers was my pupil, but he was more influenced by you.”

“It sounds like you don’t want to be in debt.”

“What… It is not wrong.”

The flames in the fireplace were still burning in the quiet atmosphere.

In this day and age, there is no talk of what a fireplace is.

They were more accustomed to it.

“If he comes back alive, I’ll have to tell him the location of this villa.”

“Isn’t it nice to leave it empty in its own way?”

“Leaving it unattended is not a bad thing. However, I think it’s better to let them know. Because this is the only refuge for those who have lost their name. Even if we leave, I believe that he will take care of attracting the rest of us. I already have a kid named Leon too.”

“If that’s what you mean.”

* * *

How in the world can he do fatal damage to Jinjo?

Cecilia said it would be possible, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t think of a way to do it.

It’s like fighting with most of your abilities sealed, but how did you deal damage?

It is a thread that has become stronger than before, but it is limited to the level of cadets that are similar to the last.

If I heard it to use thread for nothing, I’d be dragged around by the guy’s hand.

It’s spiritual. I can do some damage to him, but the problem is that I can’t keep the purple sword for very long.

What’s the use of temporarily pouring out explosives against an infinitely resurrecting bastard?

Of course, Priscilla’s efflorescence dust can inhibit its regeneration, but to be honest, I don’t expect much.

Because the difference in grades was so overwhelming.

While I was contemplating on what to do during the lecture, the alarm started ringing on my cell phone.

[Request for visit. Esmeralda Roland.]

Esmeralda Roland is the hero who held the lottery ceremony in the midterm.

Why is he suddenly requesting a visit from me?

I don’t even remember asking for my contact information.

Still, if it’s enough to even come to visit you, it must be important.

I’ll see you soon

… I also want to rest a little.

“I, Professor.”

“why? Aren’t you asking me to rest again?”

“No, I have a request for a visit.”

I held out my phone to Serena.

“What, it’s true. go go.”

“thank you.”

“Does anyone have a visit with him?”

“I don’t know. There aren’t even one or two people who flirt under the water, so they might have become friendly heroes.”

“I also wish someone would come to visit me. I want to rest.”

“Stop fussing and get ready for the next round, you bastards!”

I left my envious eyes behind and moved towards the place marked by the map.

Still, I’m really glad that the place we decided to meet is a restaurant.

I thought I was going to die from exhaustion, but it was a story about something going into my stomach.

“hello. Seongjin Park, do you remember me?”

“I remember. You also visited the academy during the midterm last year.”

“Right. I thought the people who conducted the lottery wouldn’t remember it, of course, but I’m glad you remembered it.”

“So, what’s going on?”

Esmeralda held out a small box.

At best, it was the size of a pen or watch, or something like that, but it didn’t seem like a normal thing, considering that a special seal had been set.

“What is it? this?”

To my question, she answered telepathically.

‘A phoenix’s feather.’

“yes?”

It’s a phoenix feather.

I couldn’t understand why he was suddenly telling me this.

No, he didn’t even know where he had gotten these things before.

‘Shh, lower your voice. Don’t do anything that grabs people’s attention. As cadet Park Seong-jin knows, people are obsessed with finding the phoenix. Just answer in your mind.’

‘So, why are you giving this to me?’

‘What? I mean to help you. You say you’re going to fight Jinjo?’

‘Are you talking about the phoenix helping me directly?’

‘Is that possible? He knows he’s not in a position to help anyone right now. ‘

Obviously the Phoenix is not in a position to help anyone right now.

All eyes are on Everlasting.

‘Then why did you tell me this?’

‘It means trust. If you ask me to help you for no reason, it’s suspicious. Of course, in reality, it means much more than that, and you are an object of unimaginable value. ‘

‘Is this saying that the Phoenix trusts me?’

‘You seem to think so. So he told me to help him.’

It seemed that Nihilis’ breath had entered.

Because it was something that couldn’t be explained otherwise.

No, actually, it was the same that I couldn’t explain even now.

‘… To be honest, I’m embarrassed. I have no idea what’s going on. I understand that you are here to help.’

‘So am I. The first thing the teacher you thought you thought was dead showed up and said to help you, do you know how absurd it was?’

‘Are you a teacher?’

‘Yes, you were my teacher when I was young.’

I roughly understood how it was going.

It’s not that Nihilis met the Phoenix and told the story of Everlasting, and Nihilis and the Phoenix, who had a rough idea of how things were going, made Esmeralda, a disciple, help me.

This is what it looks like in a nutshell.

I don’t know how complicated human relationships are.

‘I understand the situation roughly, so let’s talk about the details slowly. It’s not something we’re going to do right now, we just need to adjust it slowly.’

‘I wrote a way to contact you in the box, so you can just do it.’

‘But I don’t know how to open this box.’

‘It’s meant to be opened only at my command. We’ll open it tonight, so check it out then.’

It’s kind of weird to wrap it up like this, but it’s not a big deal.

If it was a problematic item, it would have been filtered out earlier in the process of bringing it into the academy.

Of course, there are some special cases that even the Academy couldn’t filter out, but there’s no reason Esmeralda wants to kill me so much.

‘All right.’

‘The food I just ordered has arrived. First of all, let’s eat. I don’t want to have troublesome conversations like this while eating, so let’s just talk about something appropriate.’

After that, it was a series of ordinary conversations.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Minor topics such as what you do after becoming a hero and what your academy life was like.

Of course, I didn’t really remember anything.

It wasn’t an important story, it just made me focus on eating.
