The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 391



392 – Repulsion

Lakar returned to the academy a day before the opening ceremony. This is because he proceeded with the closing training as scheduled and did not receive the letter informing him of Luna’s death. After belatedly checking the letter Kane had sent, Lakar immediately packed his bags.

‘I have to be by the manager’s side.’

Even watching from the side, I could feel that Ross and Luna truly loved each other. Rakar, who arrived at the club room worried about how difficult it would be for Ross to lose Luna, felt something was strange about her.

“Did you have a good vacation?”

Ross, who was reading a book on magic, looked the same as usual and welcomed Rakar with a faint smile. Rakar was taken aback and stuttered as his appearance was much different from what he had expected.

“Uh, uh… “My skills have improved.”

“okay? “For your information, I have already passed all of the Chamber of Trials.”

There was no trace of sadness in Ross’s playfully smiling face as he said that. Lakar, who was confused, smiled awkwardly and headed to the hideout beyond his closet to unpack.

Before going through the closet, I glanced over my shoulder and saw Ross drinking coffee and reading a book again.

‘Have you already overcome it? ?’

Rakar had a strange feeling for no reason. I hurried over to comfort Ross, who was in sorrow… He was even a little disappointed to see that he was no different from usual. Was the relationship between Ross and Luna so light that he forgot her sadness after just a few days?

“Are you here?”

Rakar came to his senses at the sound of a voice breaking his thoughts.

“long time no see. “Kane.”

“Are you coming? She thought it was time to come back. Well, because school starts tomorrow. “It’s natural.”

Kane naturally shared Lacar’s burden and matched his stride. Rakar bit his lip and thought for a moment before carefully opening his mouth.

“… “I mean, Ross.”

“Doesn’t it look like nothing happened?”

In response to Kane’s answer, Rakar nodded without realizing it. Kane scratched his forehead with a dark expression.

“There is a saying that if the shock is too great, a person goes crazy. Ross is like that now. I can’t accept that Luna is dead. “I think he’s just taking a long break out of sight.”

Only then did Lakar understand Kane’s words. The reason Ross was his usual self was because he thought Luna’s death had never happened. Rakar, realizing his misunderstanding, smiled bitterly.

“… “As expected, the manager loved Luna a lot.”

“Of course, I tried many times with Aria to help her accept Luna’s death naturally, but… When I brought up her story about Luna, she had a scary expression on her face. ”

“… “It sounds like a pretty dangerous situation.”

Instead of answering, Kane shrugged his shoulders and even helped me unpack my luggage. Once everything was sorted out, the sound of fast approaching footsteps was heard, the door opened wide, and Aria appeared noisily.

“Lakar! long time no see. “Did you bring something delicious?”

“Of course I prepared. “You sent me several letters telling me not to forget to bring it.”

Rakar took out the box of snacks he had prepared from his luggage and handed it to Aria. Aria, who received the box with a happy expression on her face, turned around and left her room as if that was her purpose.

“… Aria hasn’t changed.”

From noble mtl dot com

Rakar smiled slightly, feeling somewhat fortunate. Then Kane, who had finished putting away her luggage and was sitting on the bed, laid her body back and said calmly.

“Oh, I don’t think I said it in the letter, but I decided to date Aria.”

“… ?”

Why, why? The question rose up in his throat, but Rakar miraculously swallowed it, took a moment to catch his breath, and answered.

“… “It surprisingly suits you.”

There is a saying that polar opposites communicate.

“As expected, it just looks good, right? “Hehe.”

Rakar frowned reflexively at Kane’s reaction, scratched his head and said.

“… “What do you plan to do from now on, Manager?”

Kane, who had been laughing heartily, sighed at that question.

“I don’t know. In fact, should I say that there was no time to talk? Since Luna died, Ross has been busy every day. He doesn’t seem to be sleeping, and he hasn’t even gone beyond his closet. “It’s hard to even look at his face.”

Ignoring Kane’s remark that it was nice to have a lot of time alone with Aria, Rakar stroked his chin in contemplation. At this rate, his manager’s condition seemed quite serious. Rakar looked around for a moment and spoke his thoughts.

“… Maybe it’s because there are a lot of traces of Luna left in the hideout. “It’s an instinctive feeling of rejection.”

Right now, there were several traces of Luna left in Lakar’s room. Although one of her hands was uncomfortable, Luna worked harder than anyone else to decorate her hideout, leaving traces of herself all over the place.

“Maybe so. Still, getting rid of everything about Luna already… .”

“A little bit like that.”

“That’s right, a little bit. “I don’t know how Ross will react.”

Seeing Kane making a difficult expression, Rakar roughly stroked his face. The more I think about this, the more hesitant I become.

“I need to talk to the manager.”

“… “Okay, I hope there are good results.”

Lakar went straight to the club room, past the closet. Lakar sat down in front of Ross, who was reading a book, looking completely the same as before.

“Chief, let’s talk for a moment.”

Ross looked up from his book and looked at Rakar and smiled slightly.

“Are you planning to tell me what happened during vacation? “Then I guess a little while won’t be enough.”

“No, it’s about Luna.”

In an instant, the smile on Ross’s lips disappeared. Ross looked at Lakar without any expression and asked in a low voice.

“… “What are you talking about?”

“I heard something bad happened to Luna. That’s why the manager is having a hard time-”

“Luna is okay.”

Ross, who interrupted Rakar, said with a soft smile.

“So you don’t have to worry.”

Rakar did not back down when Ross responded by drawing a clear line and telling him not to talk about Luna anymore.

“Chief, Luna is dead.”

Rakar, who felt a strong pressure at that moment, unconsciously placed his hand on the sword at his side. It was a reflex reaction to the energy that Ross unconsciously gave off.

As the nervous Rakar swallowed his saliva and slowly let go of his sword, Ross closed the book he was reading and placed it on the table and spoke.

“… No, Luna will be back soon.”

“Manager… It must be really difficult and sad, but… You have to accept the facts. Luna is dead-”

Rakar suddenly stopped speaking and stopped his hand. The blade of the spear had already touched Rakar’s uvula, so he could not take any further action. He had incredible speed. Lakar immediately responded to Ross’ actions because his muscles were tense, but he was only able to pull out the sword halfway.

“As expected, you have become stronger. “Chief.”

Although Rakar had grown diligently by training every single day during the vacation, Ross had become several times stronger than his last memory. Ross spoke to La Carr, who was purely admiring, as he released his spear.

“No, no.”

Ross shook his head vigorously as if to deny Rakar’s words, then lowered his face and said.

“I’m not strong, and I’m no longer the manager.”

“What does that mean… ?”

“From now on, you will be the manager of the Messiah Club.”

Ross’s calm voice made Rakar feel uneasy. Lakar asked, hoping he was mistaken.

“… Sleep, wait a minute. Are you really thinking about leaving the club? “The club you created?”

“okay.”

At the sight of Ross answering without a single thought, Rakar felt betrayed. The sense of betrayal was great as Rakar thought that the most precious thing he gained from his academy was the Messiah club and members. He even thought of Ross as a lord he wanted to follow several times in his heart.

“that… Where is that? “If we don’t have a manager, we’re not a Messiah club.”

“… Then disband it.”

“Are you serious? “Is that all that the Messiah Club is for you?”

When Rakar asked as if to confirm, Ross raised his head and met his gaze. Rakar chewed his lips as his eyes showed no emotion.

After silence, Ross muttered quietly.

“… “Isn’t this enough playing house?”

“what?”

Seeing Rakar looking at him with disbelief, Ross smiled bitterly. Ross opened the space storage room and took out the key to the club room. He placed the key on the cover of the book and said.

“I am no longer fit to be the Messiah.”

Only then did Lakar understand why the manager, who said he was too busy to even see his face, was reading a book in the club room.

“… “You waited for me just to say this?”

Ross stood up without answering Rakar’s question. Rakar turned and shouted at Ross, who was trying to leave the club room.

“Even if we don’t have a club, we are friends. Even if you walk alone on your own, I am a friend who will be walking with you at some point. So, if you need help, let me know anytime. No, it’s okay if you don’t say anything. We will help you in any way we can! “Because you will always be the leader of the Messiah Club and my precious friend!!!”

Ross stopped walking and looked over his shoulder at Rakar with a wry smile.

“There is nothing you can do to help.”

After saying that, Ross left the club room. Rakar, who had been staring blankly at the back, leaned against the back of his chair and muttered as he looked at the key placed on top of the book.

“… “But we’re still friends.”

Although I felt betrayed by Ross’ actions, my concern for Ross was greater than that, which was clear evidence of friendship.

The next day, Transcendence Academy’s opening ceremony went ahead as scheduled.

A new first-year student entered the academy, and under the strict instructions of Vice Principal Leora, the students successfully finished singing the school song.

However, Ross was nowhere to be seen at the academy.
