Parallel World Academy - Parallel World Academy chapter 131
Episode 131 The circumstances of two people.
* * *
A cottage in Russia.
It had a somewhat subdued atmosphere for a place where a party to celebrate the victory was held.
In fact, it was inevitable.
The fact that we won is certainly important, but the fact that a lot of people died is just as important.
Excessive indulgence, even to commemorate them, was an atmosphere of self-respect.
“I’m glad everyone came back alive.”
“That’s right.”
There was too much blood to be dismissed as an inevitable sacrifice.
Even the majority of those who died in this incident were not killed in battle.
It was just bad luck, that was all.
“I shouldn’t have said I wish I had known it was going to be like this.”
“It was inevitable to become a hero… I can only think of it that way.”
Surprisingly, it was Chun Hyeon-woo who answered calmly.
Obviously, I thought that my mental state would be terribly broken because of ‘thinning’.
“Don’t blame yourself. Park Seong-jin. Everyone here did their best in their place. Besides, if you hadn’t had that wits at the end, I might not have come back alive.”
“I was prepared for something like this to happen. In practice, the law is cruel.”
“Why do you have to die? We have done enough.”
Hagiya Chloe and Esmeralda even praised us with messages saying that they did a very good job of taking on a disgraceful task, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this was more than the goal.
Even if something unfortunate happened in the process.
However, there was concern that Chun Hyeon-woo or Aina who took the lead and witnessed it before their eyes would suffer.
I was glad it wasn’t.
Because there were conversations that felt relief rather than guilt.
While everyone was arranging their impressions of the incident, one of Cecilia’s attendants, who was managing the villa, approached and delivered surprising news.
“Excuse me during the conversation, but you have a visitor. It was Serena.”
“Did you introduce yourself as our professor?”
“Yes, that’s right. He said he would be waiting for you at the jade.”
Have you ever thought of coming this far?
It seemed that the words that he cared for his disciples were not empty words.
It would have been enough to say congratulations like Chloe did, but I don’t think they’ll come here on a short vacation.
“Thank you for telling me. I will come to you now.”
“Then I hope you have a good time.”
The servant bowed his head as if he had finished his work and returned to his seat.
Serena’s disciples, including me, also moved to where she was.
* * *
“These children! I was worried, so I ran away for a month, but shouldn’t I be doing hospitality?”
“I am dying! really!”
Serena said as she bit her shoulder with her sharp teeth.
Of course, the victim was me.
“Don’t die. Because I didn’t do this.”
“I think it’s going to be ugly.”
“The boys are terrifying. Seeing that he even has the time to brag, he seems to be really in good shape.”
No matter how sad it is, I’m really going to bite you.
It’s a story I’ve talked about a few times before, but I didn’t know how to put it into practice.
“We are all fine. I’m sorry for making you come all the way here while you’re busy.”
“I came here because I wanted to.”
“Thank you for your concern. By the way, wouldn’t it be better to get away from Sungjin first? There were no serious injuries, but the doctor said that you should be mentally stable. If you put pressure like that, I think there will be wounds that weren’t there.”
“Ah, I hate to show favoritism to my students, right? okay.”
Serena smiled evilly, and gave the rest of the crew a fair hug.
Everyone’s reaction was different.
Contempt dwelled in Priscilla and Aina’s cold, sunken eyes, Katarina looked at me with a shocked face, and the corner of Hyeonu Chun’s mouth hung in her ear.
Among them, Katarina was the most remarkable.
How he had endured such pressure until now, his expression filled with a bit of awe.
Serena’s sudden action seemed to loosen the mood, but the joy has yet to come.
Because there were two people who expressed extreme disillusionment.
“I appreciate being kind to you, but it’s not good to be too affectionate with certain people. Teachers should be fair to everyone. We don’t know if we’ll leave this academy someday.”
“There is no law that says that I will attend the academy for the rest of my life, right? After you leave, you can go back to the disciple whom you met.”
“The professor starts with fulfilling the professor’s responsibilities. I haven’t left yet.”
“It is also part of my responsibility to check whether the people I have been taught are doing well.”
It was seen that one side was pouring out unspoken profanity.
The other was just smiling.
It was ironic indeed to be able to peek at the leisure of an adult through such a childish prank.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but how about we both stop before it gets noisy.”
Thanks to Katarina’s intervention, which entered in a timely manner, there was no further discord.
He must have been conscious of the eyes around him.
“Oh, it was. Well, I don’t have the qualifications yet, so I’ll have to stop at the line of cheering for the disciples. good luck to both I’ve got some business to do with Esmeralda.
Serena released the necks of Priscilla and Aina, who were holding them, then tapped their ass and pushed them toward me.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he passed us and headed into the villa.
“… He’s a really unpredictable person.”
“It’s burdensome in appearance and burdensome in body, but it’s even more burdensome because it has a kind personality.”
That’s a good thing, but everyone doesn’t know.
The fact that I couldn’t get this important fact out of my mouth was just savage.
* * *
In a small vacant lot located quite far from the villa, Esmeralda, a passenger, was welcoming Serena.
“welcome. I was waiting. Serena Stewart.”
“We’re not even formal, so talk comfortably. It’s also harder than it looks to maintain a bubbly tone. It’s because I was born that year. I feel better when I crush everything that bothers me with my fist.”
“But you’re a lot more docile than before?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Even if it’s not a dog-and-forth, I’ve decided not to become an idiot. I should have learned a lot from fighting with you, being in prison, and living outside. So, why did you come to me?”
“Can you refrain from using the sword you love?”
Several calculations started running through Serena’s head.
When it comes to the sword I love, it’s definitely a term referring to Dainslief.
‘It’s no surprise that you know the powers of Dyneslip. But, you have to know why you’re trying to limit its use.’
For Serena, the Dynslif was her favorite sword, but it wasn’t her favorite weapon in battle.
Because it was a sword with a certain amount of risk when it was drawn.
However, since its power was thoroughly guaranteed, it was also a weapon that could always be trusted and taken out in a necessary situation.
“For what reason?”
“Your sword, isn’t it a sword with a ‘curse of death’? Then it would be possible to kill even the immortals.”
“I’ve never been, but I can be sure.”
“Yeah, I’m wary of that. The one I adore is immortal. At the same time, they are also beings who wish for death. Perhaps the moment you realize the curse entangled in your sword, you will surely beg to kill yourself. I want to stop that.”
The curse placed on Dyneslief was powerful and terrifying.
Esmeralda, who had competed, knew that no matter how immortal the phoenix was, she could not stand it.
So Esmeralda was waiting.
Please do not point the tip of the sword towards the one who was your teacher and your first love.
“So, please hide the key so that your unrequited love doesn’t run away from the room. do you mean this Because I’m the only one holding the key.”
“I understand correctly.”
“Crazy bitch.”
“It is painful to part with the one you love, and it is equally heartbreaking to part with the one you admire. How hard would it be to lose them both together? He is such a person to me. An object of admiration and an object of affection. If it were you, your fellow man, you would know it well, right?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
Serena and Esmeralda looked at each other and grinned.
Even if you don’t say it, it’s like you know everything.
He was also in a situation where he had no choice but to do so.
The two only changed their positions, everything else was the same.
He has a person he admires in his heart, and that he is someone who never knows when he will turn away from him.
Except for the fact that the relationship between the priests was reversed, it was like a situation that was completely taken out.
We have to understand each other well.
“I know how much the sword is worth to you. Even if you take out and use a weapon equivalent to that level, you won’t be upset. I’ll ask you straight up. what do you want? As long as you promise not to use that sword, I’ll pay you anything.”
“Let me ask you one thing. What if the day after this deal is made, the child you like dies suddenly?”
“I won’t ask for reimbursement under any circumstances unless it’s something to do with you. You just need to prevent the information of that sword from being revealed to the outside world.”
“Well, the conditions are not bad. The problem is, I don’t have anything I want right now.”
Serena was confident.
Confidence that you will achieve what you want in any situation.
I couldn’t even see it as arrogance.
In fact, she not only had the ability to do that, but she was also a person with a relentless tenacity to get what she wanted.
“What do you mean?”
“You said you found the wrong street number. I’m the type of person who can only get things done with my own hands, you know? I’m not short enough to need someone’s help. Then, who would you be looking for?”
It took less than a second for Esmeralda to interpret those words.
“… I’ll do whatever you want. The contract expires until one of the two parties dies. Are you satisfied with this?”
“Oh, it’s not bad.”
Esmeralda had to take off her sunglasses and throw them away.
Because this person in front of me wasn’t ‘better than he looks’.
She was ‘a better devil than it looks’.
