Episode 152. Things That Will Not Be Forgotten (6)

Professor Björn and his assistant professor Exion Vante are dead.

The friendly was led by Serine Annette, with Arsene coming out victorious over both other academies.

Only a few people, including Arsene’s leadership, knew about the fight that took place in the Gray Zone Kion. It was a fight that no one knew about, and it was not recorded.

Time passes quickly. Arsene, once sunny, has entered autumn, and fallen leaves have fallen on the roadside where weeds once grew.

A chilly wind blew. The first snow fell. Arsene welcomed winter, and the cadets enjoyed a winter vacation that was a little longer than their summer vacation.

It had been six months since the last fight in Kion. The normally quiet Esperland Manor had a heavy, suffocating air.

Crunch-!

Camille Esperland’s crossblade swung wide. At the same time, a small gunshot rang out.

Camille Esperland looked around after hearing the sound of bullets flying. She had seen countless atrocities during her time at Esperland, but she had never gotten used to it.

“Is this the end? Zion.”

Camille sharpened her sword. Her neatly dressed uniform was already dirty. The same was true for Sion, who was dressed in Esperland’s uniform.

“Oh, the elders are all dead. As I said, time is limited… … .”

“It’s just a little bit of time that was bought, not much, is it?”

“Yes. Still, it’s meaningful enough just to be able to temporarily neutralize loneliness.”

Normally, this would be a situation where one would burst out laughing, but Zion’s expression is serious the whole time.

“We have to deal with this before Father finds out. I’ll ask again, but if we’re going to run away, now is the time.”

Camille Esperland’s expression was equally serious. But Camille burst into laughter.

“Weren’t you the one who said that the only way to stop it was now, that if you ran away from here, there would be no future?”

“That too.”

“Nothing will change if I step back from here. Whether I die at the hands of my father or at the hands of the hunters, that’s the extent of the difference.”

It’s the same in that we’re both going to die anyway. It’s just that this side has a higher chance of not dying.

The battle between Esperland and the Hunter Association is now reaching its final stages. The location of the mansion has already been discovered, and both the Hunter Association and Esperland are preparing for the final battle with their forces fully mobilized.

This fight will end when Esperland is reduced to ashes, the Hunters are annihilated, or one of the two forces is completely destroyed. Perhaps this wretched fight will be over before daybreak.

“Brother Camille, you want to protect Esperland.”

Duke Esperland does not back down. He is gathering all available power to fight the war. Failure to comply means death.

“And you, Zion?”

“As for me, from the beginning I wanted my older brother to take care of the household, and I didn’t have much attachment to the family.”

There was no option for Esperland’s children to run away. The moment they left the mansion, loneliness would kick in and they would die.

That is why Sion Esperland returned to the mansion. The Duke of Esperland called all of the Esperland children together, ordering a decisive battle with the Hunter Association, and Sion Esperland, who was a student at Arsen, could not escape the order.

Just as Axion had once seen in the future, Zion was destined to leave Arsene.

“But seeing the mansion I was born and raised in reduced to ashes, and the clan I fought with dying… well.”

Zion and Camille chose to destroy Esperland from the inside. That’s why they dealt with the elders of Esperland who were activating the solitude. They destroyed the system that supported Esperland.

But it only temporarily neutralized the solitude. If Duke Esperland noticed the deaths of the elders, he would immediately look for another alternative. At that moment, Camille and Sion would die, and the other clansmen who sympathized with this situation would also die.

“And, I’m tired of fighting now.”

Zion said only that and kept his mouth shut. Now was not the time to sit and chat. There would be another opportunity to resolve his regrets.

This must all be done before the Duke of Esperland finds out. With the elders dead, the only one left is the Duke of Esperland.

***

Arsene’s main building.

Cerine Annette sharpened her spear on top of a ruined building. Beside her, Ashley Silvergarden was mending the string of her broken bow.

“…What about Kyle Ivanstair?”

“I checked. I think they entered the student center first. There are five of them: Elin, Lara, Kai, and Gardner.”

“Only five people stormed into the student union building… … .”

Serene Annette sighed.

The dark clouds that began in Esperland reached Arsene.

As the Hunter Association and Esperland began to clash in earnest, the balance of power collapsed. Even the Holy Cult, the only countermeasure, began to waver from within, so it was somewhat expected that the Mine Association would step forward.

But fortunately, there was a chance of winning.

“Is Zion Illionheart never coming?”

Esili muttered in a dazed manner.

Zion, who disappeared at some point, kept saying strange things throughout the second semester. He said that the Mine Association would be active in the near future and would invade Arsene. It would probably be an all-out war using all of their power.

At that time, there were many cadets who did not listen. Most of them laughed and ignored Zion’s words.

However, a small group of people, including Professor Isabella Gaston and Reina, did not take Zion’s words lightly. They seriously prepared for an all-out war, believing that what Zion had predicted was likely to happen.

As a result, Arsene’s damage was still minor even though the war had begun.

Now, all of Arsen’s students and professors are fighting against the attackers. Even as the monsters swept through the grounds and the mines carried out terror attacks in a chaotic manner, Arsen did not fall in the end.

And now, some of the cadets, including Kyle Evanstairs, stormed into the student union. It was where the executives of the Mine Association gathered and where the chairman was. It was the most dangerous area, and at the same time, it was where the battle that would decide the outcome of this fight would take place.

“Zion Illionheart has not come. We have no choice but to do it ourselves.”

Serin Annette did not hesitate. Now was not the time to hesitate. If Zion had been there, there would have been a chance, but one day he suddenly disappeared.

Zion has already given me a lot. Zion would not want Arsene to burn to death. That is why he shared all the information he knew before leaving, and was able to prepare in advance.

“Then, let us go too.”

Serin Annette threw herself into the student union building. She flew in like a meteor and pierced the barrier surrounding the student union building with one blow.

Ashley Silvergarden stared blankly at Serin Annette as she disappeared. But soon, she shook her head and jumped down after Serin.

***

Same time. Arsene’s student union hall.

Kyle, who had been fiercely exchanging swords, hesitated and stepped back. The opponent was one of the executives of the Mine Association. It was quite a fight against an enemy that even hunters would have difficulty dealing with.

“He seemed like a talented guy, but it’s too bad.”

But in the end, he couldn’t defeat his enemy. Kyle was pushed back by a hair’s breadth.

“You worm-like cadet, are you still waking up?”

But Mine couldn’t even laugh out loud when he saw Kyle. No matter how much he was thrown around and knocked down, he would get up like a zombie. Even when all his other comrades fell, Kyle alone would not fall.

When you think he’s dead, Kyle stands up straight like a rock. There’s also Lucille’s order to not show blood as much as possible because it might stimulate Reg, but if this happens, there’s no choice but to kill him.

“For a cadet, he has some decent talent. If he had just a little more time, he would have grown into a more threatening person.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard praise from Mine.”

“I’m just saying this because I feel sorry for your talent. If you had joined the Mine Association, you might have become a decent prosecutor.”

“I have no reason to join the Mine Association.”

Kyle rejected Mine’s offer with aplomb.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. It’s too bad.”

Mine pointed his sword as if he was bitter.

At the same time, Kyle had a gut feeling. He probably wouldn’t be able to block it next time. They’d already exchanged blows countless times and never managed to break it. His stamina was at its lowest. It was a wonder he had the strength left to land the final blow.

bang-!

But just before Kyle and Mine clashed once again, a gunshot rang out from somewhere. Mine’s head exploded in a ray of light. Mine, who had been rushing toward him, fell down.

Kyle momentarily doubted his ears, especially since he thought it was a gunshot he would never hear again.

“you…….”

When I turned my gaze to where the bullet had come from, there stood Sion Illionheart, dressed in his cadet uniform. He was holding his Glock as usual.

Kyle had mixed feelings. Half happy, half angry. There were many things he wanted to ask. Kyle had no idea where to start.

The important thing is one thing. Zion, who suddenly disappeared, has returned. That is enough for now. Since Zion, who has always been there to protect us, has reappeared, this situation will definitely be resolved well.

“Is the chairman inside?”

“The chairman… what?”

But Zion didn’t even give Kyle a glance. He just asked about the chairman’s whereabouts with a cold gaze. Kyle couldn’t answer the sudden question properly, but Zion moved forward without hesitation as if he already had the answer.

“Listen carefully, Kyle.”

Before opening the door, Zion finally turned to look at Kyle.

“If you go in here, there will be no turning back. If the chairman has already been hit, there is no way to do anything more. It would be the same even if the chairman’s breath had not stopped.”

“What does that mean?”

“You know, Kyle, that the Mine Association has been targeting Arsene from the beginning, targeting the chairman.”

The goal of the Mine Association is to revive the now-extinct Demon Race, or more precisely, to bring the Demon King into Reg’s body.

But Zion didn’t say anything further. Now was not the time to explain, and Zion had already shared all the information with Kyle and the other main characters.

Since Rebecca still remained in Arsene and was active even after his disappearance, Kyle would know how things were going. However, only Sion knows the conditions for the Demon King to descend into this world.

“If Professor Reina has done the math correctly, you should be able to activate the gate. You don’t need to set a location or time, just open it.”

“wait for a sec.”

“This is only a worst-case scenario. It might not go that far. It’s just a case of being lucky.”

“Are you saying you want to go inside the gate now?”

Kyle still has a lot to ask. But now is not the time. Perhaps his unconscious colleagues, if they were awake, would feel the same way.

“If we set the coordinates to imaginary space, how are we going to return?”

“Coming back, well… … .”

Zion laughed in vain.

“After this happens, time will take care of everything.”

The only solution I found after searching for 6 whole months.

This is the only way to finish the main story without risk, so there was no reason to hesitate.
