The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All - The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All chapter 355
“no… .”
Han Soo-young leaned against the invisible wall and muttered quietly.
When she saw that Ariman’s body had all turned to powder and disappeared, she had no choice but to cry while bowing her head.
It was because he knew well who would be sucked into the vortex next, since Ariman had disappeared.
“why… .”
Yoo Ji-hyuk was breathing heavily to calm himself down, but he watched as his body slowly turned into powder and sucked into the vortex.
“… to the kids.”
He struggled to open his mouth.
Han Soo-young raised her head and looked at him.
“Can you tell me a story?”
He was smiling, but his eyes were constantly trembling.
Seeing this, Han Soo-young nodded blankly.
“First of all, I’m sorry to everyone that we broke up so suddenly… Please tell me that you’re really sorry that things happened like this after you just came back.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk, who had been talking up to that point, burst out laughing.
“Please. Sooyoung explains it well to the kids.”
Swallowed by the vortex, he exhaled evenly, disappearing down to his knees.
“Especially Yeseul and Yeeun noona. And to Yuna. Hyunwoo and Ivan… It’s a big deal.”
He laughed once more.
“When I think about it, they get worried too, so I’m going to die. In fact, who knew that puberty would come so late for Hyeonu?”
“Now, I laugh… ?”
He paused for a moment at Han Soo-young’s crying question.
But he immediately drew closer to her, dragging the body that had disappeared to the middle of her thigh with his hand.
“Then you should laugh more.”
He said.
“This is really the last time.”
He sighed and leaned into the air.
An invisible wall still stood between them.
“Can you tell Laune that you’re sorry too? I’m really, really sorry. But, because she follows you in swimming to some extent… Maybe they will accept what you say. Yes, he is a very mature kid.”
“… In addition?”
“Oh, and Lee Myung-jun or Evangeline… And to Laura-san. You said you suffered a lot because of me. I am so sorry.”
“and… ?”
“Well. Professor Alice, or Mr. Jeong Jeong Jin, the elderly. And there’s Belluna-san… Oh, there was Lydia too. After all, I haven’t seen you in a while.”
He sighed quietly as he muttered as he crossed his fingers.
“… And is it okay if I ask for Gina?”
He called out his brother’s name in a trembling voice and sighed once more.
Now the vortex was engulfing his waist.
“I’m so glad I left the coffin… There, I put the clone that Milited had created before. If Ariman’s words are really true, that’s necessary. That and Gina’s phone. If you pass them on to Ryle-senpai, you will surely… It will be fine.”
“… Is.”
“uh?”
Han Soo-young, who had her head bowed, slowly raised her head.
As she lifted her head, a few drops of tears she had been holding back fell down.
“I have nothing to say… ?”
“… … .”
“Jihyuk… As you said, now… It’s the last… .”
He didn’t say anything.
No, I couldn’t.
All he could do was hold out his hand.
They reached out, but the only thing they could reach was the wall that still stood in between them.
He quietly closed his eyes.
“that… It might be a little cramped.”
There really were so many things I wanted to say.
It was even more so because it was such a sudden breakup that I hadn’t thought of before.
So this word came out.
“If possible, just cry today for just one day.”
She looked at him blankly at his words, which she had never thought of.
“Understand? If possible, don’t cry from tomorrow. Make sure you eat well and get plenty of sleep. When the time is right, take a nap and go to sleep. Lack of sleep is bad for both beauty and health. and… I sneakily asked, but as expected, you and I both said that you were late in the first year.”
A story that isn’t boring.
It was too frivolous to be a story that could be said at the end, but he continued to speak with as calm a voice as possible.
He even let out a small laugh.
“Um, so… Honestly, I’ve never seen a kid as smart as you. I know that the saying that adults should study for nothing came out of nowhere because I experienced it myself and suffered… no. Was this a bit too cheesy? So what I wanted to say… .”
“… yes.”
“You must graduate from the academy without any problems.”
He blinked his eyes slowly.
From his appearance, Han Soo-young could notice that he was looking at himself in a different future, not his own.
The future that eventually collapsed because he died.
He saw it in her, and he felt an indescribable sense of worry and guilt.
Even at this moment, when his body is turning to dust and disappearing.
“Understand? And I’m kind of worried, but… Never listen to strange words.”
“… Am I stupid?”
He shook his head at Han Soo-young’s question, which made him cry.
He looked down at himself once.
Now the vortex was up to the chest.
“… I beg you again, but tell everyone not to wait anymore.”
For some reason, he felt as if he was short of breath, and he gasped and muttered.
“Don’t be too sad and tell them to stay healthy.”
“yes.”
“Swimming, too. you are also in good health please.”
“Yes, I will.”
“and… .”
He paused here.
“… Maybe later. Even later, if someone you really like appears.”
He slowly moved his head to look at Han Soo-young.
“Don’t think of me for nothing, and tell them that you don’t have to be sorry at all.”
There was no way that he could not understand that he was speaking to himself as well.
She forced a smile.
“Jihyuk, are you really stupid? Now call it a horse… ?”
She said.
“They will do just fine. I’d rather die.”
He laughed a little at her words.
He exhaled quietly, thinking it had been a really crazy time.
“really… .”
What he said to Ariman was sincere, without a single lie.
“Han Soo-young… .”
“yes?”
She looked at him muttering her name.
He started muttering people’s names blankly.
Choi Hyun-woo, Lee Ye-eun, Jin Ye-seul, Lee Yu-na, Ivan Hunt, Lee Myung-jun, Evangeline Lohengrin, Alice Blesbuck, Jin Ye-jeong, Cass Lyle, Belluna Hunt… .
Minerva and Svengalli.
Finally to Laune.
people who love themselves.
People who believed in, trusted, and supported themselves.
Invaluable connections.
Because it was so unfamiliar, it was a day like a dream.
It made me forget the thought of having to go back at some point.
really.
“It was like a dream… .”
His body that muttered like that didn’t have much left now.
Han Soo-young, who was trying to quietly let him go somehow, suddenly cried out and smashed the intangible wall between the two with all his might.
“Finally, one last time, I will ask you one thing!”
she asked in an urgent voice.
“I, me… … what did you think of me What have I been to you? I to you… !”
It was a question I wanted to ask, but in the end, it was a question that could not be asked until today.
In the end, for him, he is just a character in the game, or if he is not… .
“Not even a single moment.”
He exhaled hard.
“There has never been a single moment when you are not real.”
At the end of those words, he stretched out his hand.
Han Soo-young also quickly reached out to him.
But instead of touching the invisible wall, her hand just ran through the air.
Now she was the only one left there.
“ah.”
It was only when she held out her hand blankly like that.
[Confirmed the disappearance of all Seven Evil species.]
[Confirmed the disappearance of the one who goes against the flow of the world.]
[All conditions have been met.]
A cheerful, inconsistent sound rang out.
Then, in front of her, a notification window that only her could see appeared.
“… ah.”
[Congratulations!]
[You saved this world!]
“Ahhh… !”
[The world will be at peace because of you.]
she collapsed
“Swimming!”
“Han Soo-young!”
Afterwards, the party arrived, noticing that the distorted space had returned to its original state.
The half-collapsed World Tree and Han Soo-young sitting and crying.
Some of them sensed the ominous sight of seeing only the two of them, so they stopped, others looked around, and others ran towards her.
The hero who saved the world just sat there and cried.
… And in front of her was the last notification window.
[You will be rewarded for saving the world.]
[Please select a reward.]

“Jihyuk, the trash can is full!”
“Oh, yes. president! I’ll be right back.”
At the roaring voice, I quickly grabbed the trash can and went out through the back door.
“eww.”
In the meantime, a moan burst out without me even knowing the pain in the ankle that periodically throbbed.
It was a pain I had been through for a long time, but I couldn’t get used to it until I got used to it.
… Two years have passed since that day.
When I woke up, I was back in my original world.
To my surprise, my body was still as it was when I was young, and as it was, no one questioned what had happened to me.
Even when I went to the district office to check, there were no problems with the paperwork.
I was 10 years younger than my original age, and I was the only child.
He told me that there was no younger brother named Yoo Ji-na from the beginning.
“… … .”
It wasn’t just that.
clouds on the horizon.
I was the only person in this world who remembered it.
Maybe I had a really long dream.
If it wasn’t for him, I might have gone out of my mind for a while, there were times when I thought so.
It was because when I returned to reality, the events in that world were like a dream, and I was unable to use any abilities or powers.
Not only that, let alone feel the energy of Minerva and Sbangali, they could not even hear their voices.
But the necklace she gave me, hanging from my neck.
And a ring forged from my scales that I made with everyone.
Unlike the things that disappeared and lost at some point, these two things were still protecting me.
That day was never a dream.
“… … .”
I emptied the trash while fiddling with the necklace.
It was a habit that I developed without even knowing it because I wore it without taking a day off for two years.
“Whoa.”
… At first, it was really hard and painful.
Now that I think about it, I was amazed at how I endured it.
My family, the only reason I lived, disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, I lost all the bonds of ties and became alone, and I was enveloped in a sense of loss and loneliness that could not be helped.
… If I took my own life, I thought several times a day that I would be able to go back to that world by any chance.
But in the end I didn’t.
No, I couldn’t.
To say that at the end, forcing me to make a promise, and then forcing me to say it and then throw it away.
Because if that happens, I really don’t have the face to see them again.
And above all… .
“… … .”
I fiddled with the necklace once more.
Unfortunately, I still haven’t given up on that hope.
It was only a small hope, literally the size of a grain of sand, but somehow it lent me enough hope to live each day.
… Two years have passed in my world.
If so, how much time has passed since their world?
how much have they changed
Did you graduate from the academy?
If it were them, and she was graduating early enough, it would be more than enough.
So, what are you all doing right now?
how are you all doing?
Did Gina wake up?
Will I be able to endure it all and live with a smile?
“… … .”
There were many things I wanted to ask.
There were many things I wanted to say.
Why the hell didn’t you tell me earlier?
I repeated countless regrets about why I did this, and I couldn’t turn over in the blanket even after I opened my eyes because I didn’t want to wake up from a dream with everyone.
He knew that it was better not to hold on to useless hopes.
He knew very well that it was useless and was nothing more than poison that gnawed at his chest.
Even so, I still couldn’t give up hope.
Longing, regret, sadness, and… .
A lot of emotions are entangled in the breath and I can’t even tear them apart.
Countless thoughts of wanting to just scatter these fishy things like bubbles, I still had the necklace in my hand.
“… … !”
Suddenly, it felt like someone’s voice was heard in my ear.
As always, I paused when I was about to ignore it, thinking that I had heard an auditory hallucination.
“… uh?”
There was a vortex in front of me.
“what… ?”
Without realizing it, I took a few steps backwards.
Even though I rubbed my eyes several times wondering if I had seen something wrong, the vortex was still there.
“… … .”
Licking my dry lips, I carefully picked up a piece of trash.
And threw it towards the vortex… … .
“ah.”
Garbage flew through the air, and the whirlpool was also disappearing from place to place as if it had been an illusion.
When the chin and tension were released, the only thing that came to me was an indescribable disappointment.
“… It cannot be.”
I sighed a little.
When I reached out to grab the trash can that had already fallen on the floor, someone reached out and picked up the trash can first.
“Ah, thank you… ”

On his hand was the same ring as mine.
For a moment, I was stiff with tension, unable to move a single fingertip.
And slowly, very slowly, he began to raise his head.
slender hands.
white wrists.
red hair.
Earrings that I had never seen removed for even a single moment.
Finally, the red eyes that sparkle like jewels.
“… … .”
This is a hallucination.
It is clear that the hallucinations that have haunted me since that day have been haunting me.
Thinking like that, it was time to somehow calm my beating heart.
“… finally.”
I heard the same voice that I had longed for in my dreams.
… I couldn’t say anything.
Even though there were so many things I wanted to say and so many things I wanted to ask.
I couldn’t say a single word.
Then she slowly reached out and grabbed my wrist.
As if never to miss it again.
“Caught.”
She smiled brightly.
“Let’s go back together.”
Her words were as dazzling as her smile.
hello.
Mint flavored McCall.
