The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All - The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 331

“… So, you mean that Antarctica is such a cold place?”

Minerva asked Han Soo-young again in a voice that seemed incredulous.

“Yeah, it’s probably the coldest place in the world. The places I’ve been before are incomparable.”

Han Soo-young, who finished adjusting the boat, nodded her head.

Yoo Ji-hyeok was half exhausted, and Minerva was also tired from the battle, so he couldn’t think of a proper way to move, so he eventually recovered the abandoned boat.

“Well… I can’t imagine At that time, I thought I was going to die from the cold, but that doesn’t compare.”

Minerva, bandaged here and there, tilted her head.

In fact, bandaging her was meaningless at all, but seeing the bandages wrapped around Yoo Ji-hyuk’s body, it was clumsy to follow.

“Of course, if Jihyeok and Minerva were both going to be dragons, it would have nothing to do with it. However… .”

“After that, it will be a problem. I understand it well enough.”

Although he succeeded in sealing Venus, Yoo Ji-hyeok used excessive force and had to recuperate for several days.

In the case of Minerva, although it was a mistake, she also needed time to heal her wounds as the wounds inflicted by the battle were considerable.

“Because Yu-no has always been the smartest among the three of us.”

Minerva said so and leaned her head against the boat.

“If he escaped to that Antarctica, it must have been because he had crafted something there. Maybe it’s going to be a long game… If that happens, it will be very unfavorable to him.”

Han Soo-young nodded at her words.

In fact, the most clumsy thing for Yoo Ji-hyuk was the long-term battle.

Judging from what has been seen and heard so far, the Seven Evil species named Yuno showed excellent ability to suppress, block, and cast curses along with barriers.

It was said that his specialty was attrition, which gnawed at the opponent’s power, in other words, that he was the worst opponent for Yoo Ji-hyuk.

“I’m going to go ahead and get ready.”

“right.”

Minerva scratched with a finger in the place where the bandage was wrapped.

“You will also have to keep that in mind after fighting Yuno. Including him… .”

Here she paused for a moment, then closed her eyes slightly.

“… because you are human When the weather is cold, that alone kills humans. It’s even more dangerous if you’re in a weak state there. It cannot be ruled out that after the battle with Yuno, he could return to a human like this time, or that he and either of you would be fatally wounded or left behind.”

“Isn’t it bad to waste time?”

“right. Acting quickly in battle is of paramount importance. But if you are blinded by it and do not take a proper look at the situation, you are trying to kill yourself.”

… Then he saw that Jihyeok had been eaten and his eyes widened.

Han Soo-young thought that way only in his head.

Unaware of her impure thoughts, Minerva stared blankly at the seabirds flying overhead.

“… Wasn’t it a week at the most for him to get up and shave everything off? Most of all, he said that it took a while before the tools to suppress Yuno were prepared. There is no choice but to wait Of course, if the seal of Venus is destroyed, it will be annoying, but now Juno doesn’t have enough energy left, so you can relax a little.”

“Um, but why? Isn’t there such a thing? If you don’t have lips, your teeth will ache… .”

Minerva nodded slightly at Han Soo-young’s words.

It was meant to be worrying enough.

“Yes, you are right. But that doesn’t apply to us.”

Minerva asserted that there was nothing to worry about.

“The reasons for the collaboration between Juno and Venus are similar but different. And the one who desperately wanted it was Yuno. If the one sealed first was Juno and the one who cooperated was Venus, he might have had to fight against the two again. As per your concerns.”

After adjusting to some extent, Han Soo-young stuttered and sat down around Minerva.

She, too, was exhausted from the overuse of magical powers.

“But Venus… Unlike Yuno, it wasn’t a very desperate reason. There, the woman who saw that guy’s personality knows it well. If I were to be released from the seal, I would choose to run away and retreat rather than take revenge. The three of us, including the main woman, have been fighting for half our lives, so it’s funny that we know each other best. So you can know.”

Minerva nervously flicked it away, as if the bandage dripping from his head was annoying.

“Yuno has a lot of thoughts. But he never hesitates to make a decision and never does anything at a loss. Freeing Venus is of no benefit to him. In order to free Venus, you would have to pour out at least 30% of your body’s power, because you’ve already lost nearly half of it in the last battle. There is no way a guy who chooses to run and hide to focus on recovery would gamble like that.”

Seeing Minerva making a cold judgment, Han Soo-young thought it was surprising.

It must be so, because all the appearances she has shown thus far have been completely immature.

Confusing dates, not being able to memorize multiplication tables, sweating profusely and insisting on wearing a dress, or not knowing where Antarctica is just before… .

“Besides, Juno and Venus have a very bad relationship. So there is no need to worry.”

After finishing the explanation, Minerva sighed as if drowsy and added a word.

“… Is he okay?”

“yes?”

Minerva murmured as she gazed at the raging sea.

“Because she doesn’t know how to examine the human condition. Even if they take on human form like this, they cannot understand it because they are not human.”

“Ah, yes. Jihyuk is fine.”

Han Soo-young said so and waved her hand.

Until recently, I had seen him sleeping soundly in the cabin, so there was not even a hint of worry in her voice.

“I’ve been using that ability frequently for a long time, but it’s the first time I’ve used it for a long time and at the same time like this time. However, if you take good care of yourself, you will soon be back to normal… I think it would be better to go back to the village like this and finish the treatment before leaving.”

Minerva nodded.

When she shut her mouth, the flow of the story was interrupted naturally.

Han Soo-young, too, might be the original Minerva that she knew from the future.

For a while, there was no conversation between the two of them, only the sound of waves drifting around.

“Can I ask you one more thing?”

“uh… what?”

“You said you came from the future.”

At Minerva’s words, Han Soo-young nodded her head.

He already knew that Yoo Ji-hyuk had explained the situation to her to some extent.

“right. Jihyuk and I are from the future.”

“… And do I have to go back?”

“right. There is still work to be done in the original world, and there are friends waiting for us.”

Minerva spoke quietly.

“Can’t you just go back?”

For a moment, Han Soo-young only knew that he had heard it wrong.

“… … What?”

“To the time when only you were the original. I asked if I could go back to the future.”

I didn’t hear it wrong.

Now, Han Soo-young slowly turned her head and looked at her, as if trying to figure out what Minerva was thinking and uttering those words.

“What do you mean, now?”

“Literally. That’s it… I’m asking if it’s okay to leave it in this world.”

“why?”

“that… .”

Minerva paused for a moment, and then she too slowly turned her head to look at Han Soo-young.

“… I don’t know either. Why the hell is she saying this?”

“you… .”

It was when Han Soo-young momentarily became furious at the attitude that seemed to make fun of herself.

“Isn’t that too? If you want to have him, you just have to get drunk. Just like it has been doing until now. Anything that gets in the way would have to be trampled on and set on fire. Venus Gun, Uno Gun… .”

The vertically split eyes, resembling reptiles, glanced past Han Soo-young.

“You too.”

“… … .”

“But I can’t. I don’t think so. If so… .”

Minerva bit his lip and looked at Han Soo-young and said as if begging.

“Aren’t you listening to your words? huh? If you say it, I’m sure he will also accept it. So… .”

Minerva mumbled and turned her head again.

Her eyes were staring at the empty sea horizon.

“I don’t know why. I don’t know why the hell she’s doing this. I don’t know exactly how many years you went back. But, if it’s her ability… Can’t you make it last for a few hundred years?”

Minerva, who had been talking up to that point, nodded.

“… Yes, I want you to stay together. huh? it’s all about staying together Even if it is several hundred years, there are many ways to extend the lifespan of humans. If you are a woman, you can help enough. So don’t you go too, and let’s stay together with him and the three of us.”

“… … .”

“Please, please. huh? My maiden begs you please… please convince him please… .”

At her gibberish words, Han Soo-young let out a small sigh.

Then he answered in a short, firm voice.

“I can’t.”

“… why?”

Minerva muttered in disbelief.

He never thought he would be rejected.

“why?”

“Minerva, that’s it.”

“Why, why?”

Her voice began to grow harsher.

“Doesn’t this Minerva, her mother, beg for you so much? Aren’t you saying that this Minerva can do anything for you, that I will help you? But why are you so easily without even a single thought… !”

Both eyes were dyed red with anger, and a stream of blood was running down their lips.

With such a vicious energy, Han Soo-young could feel her skin stinging under the pressure of her magic.

Under the pressure as if the intestines were being crushed, Han Soo-young spit out words with difficulty.

“You don’t know better.”

She looked straight at the seven evil bells, as if they were going to tear her to death at any moment.

“That is the providence, the flow. Anyone who has passed the time must return. Even if I don’t have to explain it, Minerva, you know better.”

What she said was true.

More than anyone else, Minerva knew that it was Providence.

Also, what will happen if you try to go against it.

So Minerva just stared at Han Soo-young as if to kill him.

Han Soo-young also looked at Minerva as if not to lose.

“Providence cannot be resisted by anyone.”

She spoke in a cold, sober voice that surprised herself.

“Even if it’s the Seven Evil Bells.”

After saying those words, Han Soo-young quickly turned her head.

His legs staggered and his whole body trembled, crushed by the huge and ferocious energy, but his voice did not lose its strength.

“… I’ll pretend I didn’t hear the story.”

Taking a step forward, she added.

“And if you really think of Jihyuk that much, why don’t you think about how hard it will be for him to be stubborn by only insisting on yourself?”

Minerva slowly stood up.

She was staring intently at Han Soo-young’s back.

She was a mere human who could take her life in an instant if she made up her mind, and she couldn’t even try to do that.

If he did, it was because he knew what kind of expression Yoo Ji-hyuk would make and what he would say.

“… A four-year-old who follows the providence like that and tells her to take care of herself.”

So Minerva quietly opened her mouth.

Deep in his voice, the boiling anger subsided as if it was about to explode.

“What do you think of the person who is doing the most against the providence in the position that is the most against the providence?”

“… … .”

Han Soo-young couldn’t say anything.

Because it was true.

“I know.”

She could only utter those words.

“That must be the reason why Ariman is so tame to me.”

Minerva, like you, I want to break free from providence.

“So do I.”

… Three days have passed since the sealing of Venus.

Suyeong and Minerva said to me when I woke up from the bed.

Minerva also fully recovered, so we immediately finished preparations and headed to Antarctica.

Five days have passed since the sealing of Venus.

arrived in Antarctica.

Due to the cold and blizzard beyond imagination, I decided to make a hideout first.

The blacksmith of Yado came and handed me the last thing I asked for.

Six days have passed since the sealing of Venus.

No trace of Yuno could be found.

Eight days have passed since the sealing of Venus.

Traces of subtle Yuno were found.

The search began to speed up.

Ahre has passed since the sealing of Venus.

Found Yuno and entered the battle.

Ten days have passed since the sealing of Venus.

Finally, he succeeded in sealing Yuno.

and… .

‘How the hell did this happen?’

I thought quietly, lamentingly.

On both sides of me, Minerva and Han Soo-young were clinging to each other.

To be precise, he was sitting on my lap and hugging me tightly.

Normally, I would pretend that I didn’t know anything and put up with my embarrassment and tell them to fall, but now I can’t.

It was because their faces were pale and tired as if they were about to faint at any moment.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two just shivered without saying a word.

I silently circulated the hemolysis rapidly through my body, raising my body temperature.

Then the two came together without a word, rubbing their bodies.

“… Before I go, I’ll bother a real person and leave.”

I had no choice but to quietly spit out swear words at Yuno, who was the one who created the current situation and had already been sealed.
