The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All - The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 303
“Come on, here. drink this Jihyuk-ah.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Han Soo-young, who succeeded in teleporting to a remote abandoned house, handed him a cup of hot coffee. I accepted it with an honest thank you. The coffee suited my taste exactly, so I was sipping it and enjoying it.
“… … !”
“Yeah, thank you too. Laune.”
In the meantime, Laune walked over to me and held out the towel she was holding with both hands.
All the water and salt on my body had long since disappeared when I released the king of thorns, but I pretended not to show it and silently dried my hair with a towel.
“… … !”
Then, as if satisfied, Laune nodded her head once with her arms crossed with her roots.
Then he started tossing around and walking to somewhere.
As I stared intently at him, Su-young Han, who had already brewed his own cup of coffee, sat across from me. She glanced at me and took a sip of coffee.
“So what the hell happened?”
I looked straight at her and asked.
A potion bottle containing Milited was placed on the simple table.
“… Well, I didn’t wait there all the time.”
Han Soo-young looked into my eyes to see if I had accepted that I was hurting her, and answered.
“After Jihyuk ran to a safe place as you said, he… One of my skills is that I can take out a part of my soul and look around. That’s why Jihyuk was looking for you. Then I saw you in the sea, and… Seeing Minerva and the monster fighting for the first time, I thought it would be dangerous… .”
[Oh my God, incarnation? Even without any medium, taking away a part of the soul and materializing it? Is it possible for a young human sissy to use such nonsense technology at all?]
Sbengali murmured, as if it was ridiculous, that he couldn’t believe it all the time.
Surprisingly, so was I.
It was because it was just the first time that Han Soo-young could use such a technique to become a spirit person.
“Anyway, that… Thanks to that technique, even when I was unconscious and collapsed, I could vaguely see and hear the stories around me and what was going on. That’s why Jihyuk and Milited started to hear the story that you and Milited were talking about.”
“I see.”
So it seems that she knew she needed a core of the Seven Evils as well as the fact that she could use the pendant to time travel. Han Soo-young looked cold and bowed her head, looked into my eyes, and offered an apology in a crawling voice.
“Mi, sorry. I was going to tell you earlier, but somehow things got vague… .”
“yes? No, it’s okay. I was just trying to tell you everything anyway. There must be some reason Sooyoung overheard you because you were malicious.”
I said so and shrugged.
“There’s no way Sooyoung would have taken care of your own self-interest with that kind of skill.”
“… … .”
For some reason, Han Soo-young looked at me without saying a word and then slowly turned her head as if she had nothing to say. And he responded quickly as if he was making an excuse.
“Well, it’s true that I overheard you. I really want to apologize for this. And even if Jihyuk says you’re okay, that doesn’t change what I did wrong, right?”
“uh… It’s really good.”
I thought that her words were also hers, so I nodded my head, not ignoring her.
Then Sbengali, as always, mumbled softly with a snapping sound.
[This smells fishy… .]
Ignoring his words, as always, I looked at her and asked.
“… So, can you tell me why you asked me to go back 150 years?”
At that, Han Soo-young sip coffee without saying a word.
I didn’t rush her, I just waited quietly.
Finally, after a few more sips of coffee, she began to talk quietly.
“This is just my opinion, so please don’t believe it too much.”
“If swimming is your idea, it must make sense. You are a wise kid.”
“Oh, no. Don’t talk like that!”
For some reason, she bruised me with a slightly blushed face as if embarrassed.
Then she tapped and tapped her fingers around the potion bottle. Soon, a polygonal light leaked out and began to wrap around the potion bottle.
“Okay, there’s no way we’re talking about this. Still, in case you don’t know… .”
She started using a few more spells in succession, to the extent that Sbangali, who was watching, murmured that it was too much.
After a while, she coughed loudly and loudly and nodded as if it was okay now.
“First, listen to what I have to say. I don’t know everything about the situation, so if there’s something I’m doing wrong, please tell me.”
She shrugged and said.
“Minervana Jihyuk, and the other side too.”
[Well. Genga noticed as well.]
Sbangali murmured as if she knew it would.
[Actually, we talked like that, but there’s no way you wouldn’t know.]
It was as Sbangali said.
I, too, had some expectations, so I nodded and began to listen to her.
“Although there are very few records or documents on the Seven Nights of Music, it is not that there are none. And if you look at such records and documents, most of the Seven Music sects have different records, but almost all records have declined exponentially since about 300 years ago.”
In other words, it’s sealed.
I nodded at Han Soo-young’s words.
In fact, as she said, the description that most of the seven evil sects were all sealed about 300 years ago was clearly mentioned in the original work.
“There is something strange here.”
Han Soo-young took a black pen from her pocket and scribbled it on the table.
“It was 300 years ago that Milited was sealed. And in order for Milited to summon his clone, he needs to consume something like that person’s blood or flesh, and that person doesn’t exist in this world.”
300, 150, 20? Iranian numbers.
“But the Milited we met summoned the Shadow Walker, who was active about 150 years ago, and Ivan’s father as his clones.”
“right.”
“There are a few more assumptions to consider here… Even when Milited is sealed, if he sacrifices their blood and flesh like a sacrifice, he can fulfill the conditions for self-immolation.”
It was as she said.
She glanced at me and exhaled relievedly when I nodded her head.
“In the case of Ivan’s father… Belluna-san’s appearance, as well as Milited and his minions, seemed to be intertwined in various ways. So it’s a bit cruel, but I thought it could be done in the sense of retaliation. But in the case of Shadow Walker… .”
Han Soo-young glanced at my eyes.
“There were a lot of things that were a little absurd.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“First of all, I don’t know if Jihyuk knows you… In the case of Shadow Walker, to us, it’s actually considered nonsense. It is mentioned only in fairy tales and fairy tales, and there are few true sightings or recorded data. ugh… In fact, there are even theories that the existence of Shadow Walker is actually a story made up by the luxuries at the time.”
“yes.”
“Actually, if it had ended here, I would have gone on to think that I was just a real person. To be honest, it wouldn’t have been too strange at the point of having an alter ego of someone like the first shaman of the World Tree. However… .”
Han Soo-young asked me carefully, holding her breath again and again.
“… Are you your brother? That, the Shadow Walker.”
“… … .”
I nodded my head without saying a word.
Han Soo-young looked at me with a sad gaze and carefully reached out and took my hand.
Then, as if consoling, he moved his hand and began to pat the back of my hand.
… What surprised me here was that, far from being annoying or cumbersome, her behavior was surprisingly comforting to me.
We held each other’s hands for a long time like that.
“Hey, can we continue talking? ?”
“Yes, please.”
“Uh, um… So, Jihyuk is your younger sister… .”
“Through. keep it.”
“Ah, yes. So, Gina also came from another world like Jihyuk did, right?”
“right.”
“Yeah, that’s why it’s weird.”
Han Soo-young looked at me and said.
“Ji-hyeok is your younger brother, so Gina must have known the world to some extent as Ji-hyeok did you, right? If so, then Jihyuk must have known about the Seven Evils just like you. Moreover, 150 years ago, the power of the Seven evil sects would have weakened, and… Most of all, I could tell that he was a tremendous strength from the appearance he showed at that time.”
But how the hell did you get that person’s alter ego?
“I wondered if Gina might have left a message for Jihyuk to you.”
It was as if she had been hit in the head by her words for a moment.
After being silent for a long time, I called Sbangali in my head.
‘Sbangali.’
[Umm.]
‘Children of Milited, do you know when their sphere of influence completely collapsed?’
[I don’t know the details either… They say that they somehow managed to survive nearly 100 years after Milited disappeared. Then, about 100 years after Milited’s disappearance… So I’ve heard that the power was almost wiped out about 200 years ago in our original time zone. Nearly half of Milited’s children he met as clones died, virtually dissolving.]
“… okay.”
As I was nodding my head blankly, Han Soo-young said the last thing.
“There, Milited knew that Jihyuk knew you were from another world. … How the hell did you know that?”
“… … .”
Why hadn’t I thought of this?
Han Soo-young, it was just as she said.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with an opportunity to have Gina lose a part of her body to Milited. He would never have met Milited himself, and because the time frame did not match, he had no choice but to meet in person with Milited’s children, who had almost lost their lives, to have their body parts taken away.
However, Gina’s clone, whom she was facing at that time, was in a weakened state, but showed great inaction.
If it had all the legacy of the Shadow Walker, it would have been even stronger.
It was hard to imagine that he would have been defeated by the few children of Milited while possessing such strength, or that he would have lost a part of his body.
If so, please
Indeed, as Sooyoung said… .
“… … .”
There was one more thing that bothered me.
Gina, like me, she really liked ‘Clouds on the Horizon’.
She always chose Jin Ye-seul to play, and sometimes even gave me a full speech about her charm.
And if there was the biggest difference between me and Gina, the sequel to ‘Clouds on the Horizon’… So it was that Milited’s children had played some games where they were the main antagonists.
If so, he must have known more about Milited’s children than I did, so it was highly likely that he would have tried to destroy them first.
No, it certainly would have been.
Because that kid was like that.
“… … .”
I lifted the pendant without a word.
If you think about it, this object also came out as an important role in the sequel to ‘Clouds on the Horizon’. If so, the possibility that Gina knew about this pendant could not be ruled out.
Hopefully really.
Was he really trying to leave a message to me?
then… .
After thinking for a while, I nodded and looked at Han Soo-young.
“Sooyoung, release the barrier that quarantined Milited.”
“yes.”
She lifted the barrier without saying anything.
I grabbed a potion bottle containing a portion of Milited and opened the lid as it was.
“hey.”
“… … .”
“It’s all you’re listening to, so don’t worry about it.”
After a while, the liquid inside the potion bottle sloshed.
“As for my honor as well as our trust.”
he said in a confident voice.
“I didn’t mean to be silent.”
“Yeah, and you gave up that trust first. Do you admit it?”
“that… .”
“Oh, do you have any excuses? Sooyoung, here’s a dirty tipper, you’ve got something to say.”
At my words, Han Soo-young immediately looked at Milited with a contemptuous expression.
For a moment, even I flinched.
“It’s disgusting. At the very least, goblins don’t even know that they repay their favors, the Seven Evils.”
“… … .”
He didn’t say anything.
It was just a silent bubbling and boiling of the surface.
He didn’t show it, but he was very angry right now.
[He is very respectful of face. It would be good to stimulate that point.]
I nodded my head slightly at Sbangali’s advice.
“If you’re like me, can you trust a guy who sells his business partner? is not it? As I said before, it is yours who abandoned trust or anything else first.”
“That, that… So it wasn’t my intention.”
“therefore? Eventually I got chased by Minerva. Not only by myself, but also by Sooyoung. Just because of you.”
I didn’t give him time to make excuses.
“I don’t think it’s until this happens that I don’t know if you’re going to name all of them or not… Let’s pretend our story didn’t exist. Don’t you have any complaints?”
“Come on, wait! Isn’t that a very impulsive decision… ? My, of course I was wrong. But even so, making an agreement with each other is not so easy… .”
“So you were the one who broke the contract first.”
At the time when I had the pendant in the first place, Milited was the one I regretted, so he had to fold in a few more to me. There was no way he could have said anything to me, even after he had even sold me to Minerva.
“So I mean… .”
I thought this would be enough, so I hinted at him.
“If you really want to restore trust with us, there is one way.”
“… what is that?”
I looked at the pendant without saying a word.
“I was going to hand it over to you after sending it back 300 years.”
“… right.”
“Before that, let’s go somewhere else first.”
150 years back.
