The World After the Bad Ending - Chapter 115



Ex-Girlfriend

Vinesha in front.

Behind was Sharin Sazarith.

A life-or-death crisis.

What can I do here?

I’ve overcome countless crises until now, but at this moment, my mind was a blank white sheet.

Beyond the window, a dark presence began to move.

The being that Vinesha summoned from the other world is approaching this place.

A hair-trigger situation.

Sharin is in danger of being attacked.

“Vinesha!”

I immediately grabbed Vinesha’s shoulder tightly.

Startled by the sudden touch, Vinesha flinched and looked up.

She was staring at me with wide eyes.

“I came to Jerion Academy with an important mission. If we cause a commotion here, it will all be for nothing.”

Vinesha rolled her eyes while looking at my serious face.

Then she gently cupped her cheeks with both hands.

“If you come on so boldly like that, oh my, a girl can get embarrassed.”

Vinesha glanced at my face.

I felt the presence beyond the window quiet down.

We were saved.

“So, Vinesha, for my sake, please hold on a little longer. There’s a reason. You can understand me, right?”

Vinesha looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

Then she soon looked over my shoulder with emotionless eyes.

“Is that also a reason?”

Sharin stood there with a puzzled expression.

Then she opened her mouth and yawned long.

She didn’t seem to care about the situation.

It was typical of Sharin to be nonchalant after dropping a bomb.

“…Yeah.”

Hearing my answer, Vinesha let out a breath and suddenly pulled me into a tight hug.

At that moment, Sharin turned to look at me with her hair standing on end.

But there was no time to worry about that.

“Okay. This girl will believe anything her husband says. You, husband, are definitely the one who will save the world!”

I am doing something like that, though.

“Husband, well then, I have to go find supplies, so I’ll be off.”

Vinesha smiled brightly, then peeled herself away from me.

She then walked past Sharin, clicked her tongue with a terribly fierce face, and left.

Somehow, I had gotten through that crisis.

A sigh of relief involuntarily escaped my lips.

“Hey, hey, hey.”

Just then, Sharin had come to my side before I knew it.

Then, she started pounding on my back with her tiny fist.

Sharin’s punches couldn’t inflict any damage on my body, which had obtained a steel physique.

Even knowing that, Sharin punched diligently.

“Who is that person?”

“The associate professor who joined the magic department this time.”

“But why is the associate professor hugging husband?”

Is she seriously going to keep calling me husband?

I grabbed Sharin’s wrist, which was still hitting my back, and stopped it.

“It’s a bit of a deep story. I stole the Curtain’s bandages from that person.”

Sharin knows that I’m disguised.

As she realized that Vinesha was the source, Sharin’s eyebrows furrowed subtly.

“Then, hey.”

Sharin looked at me with her eyebrows raised in a pout.

“Does that person know what husband’s true form is?”

Well, yeah, she does.

But I couldn’t answer right away.

Because I sensed a displeased look from Sharin.

My eyes flickered.

Sharin was looking at me with a face full of discontent.

It was the first time Sharin had so openly revealed her emotions like this.

And I knew what emotion she was revealing.

‘…Jealousy?’

Of course, jealousy exists even between friends.

Just as one can be jealous if a friend seems closer to another friend, jealousy is a complex emotion.

It can occur between both genders without distinction.

But the jealousy visible in Sharin’s eyes now was subtle.

“…I know.”

Hearing my answer, Sharin slowly let go of my wrist.

She looked deflated.

“Yeah, I see.”

Without saying more, Sharin walked away.

Watching her retreating figure, I hurriedly followed her.

“Sharin.”

“Even as a fiancé, I don’t know. But you do.”

“Sharin, wait a moment.”

“I helped you with the magic engraving and everything. So that’s how it is.”

Sharin didn’t seem willing to listen to me at all.

How did it come to this?

Leaving my troubled face behind, Sharin entered the training ground.

There, I saw students training.

She glanced at my face and then quickly turned away, walking towards the magic department.

She seemed thoroughly upset.

I can’t afford to have a falling out with Sharin.

But my mind was tangled by the emotions she revealed.

“Ah, Prince Sweet Potato!”

Just then, Seron spotted me and jumped up and down, waving his hand.

Like a dog wagging its tail like a propeller when its owner returns.

I wish I could be as consistent as Seron.

I shook off my complicated expression.

I decided to think about the matters with Vinesha and Sharin later and headed towards Seron first.

“How have you been?”

“Why, did you think I’d be on the verge of death without you?”

Seron, despite his arrogance, couldn’t hide his excitement.

“You’ve been looking like death for a while now.”

“Ugh!”

At that moment, Hania suddenly appeared beside her and pointed out Seron.

It seemed that Hania had been taking care of Seron in my absence.

“He looked like a lost puppy, I couldn’t just leave him be.”

“No, that’s not true.”

Seron whistled and turned his head, but he kept glancing around nervously.

“Welcome back.”

Hania greeted me, ignoring Seron’s behavior, and whispered softly so he wouldn’t hear.

“I heard about Miss Sharin Sazarith.”

Such sharp ears.

Well, Hania had been assisting Iris. At that point, the royal family’s ears were wide open.

‘The news of the engagement will be out soon enough.’

The Blue Tower Lord wants to implement Jerion’s magic. To keep me alive, they’ll rush the engagement announcement.

“Sorry, it turned out this way.”

“I understood the situation as soon as I heard. As a Hannon, I know it was an unavoidable choice.”

Hania was generous.

“More than anything, you kept me company all this time, didn’t you? I was actually grateful for that.”

She was more than generous, she was an angel.

Hania is a goddess.

“I feel like crying all of a sudden.”

“Why would you cry over something like this?”

“Hania, you’re the best girlfriend.”

“Hmph, it’s a relief that you finally understand.”

Hania raised her nose slightly, feeling a bit smug.

“Anyway, I think it’s time to end our romantic relationship. It seems like I’ve sorted out the people who had feelings for me. Most importantly.”

She lifted the corners of her mouth as if she was most pleased.

“That dog, I mean, Associate Professor Barkov, is no longer interested in me.”

That was truly an unexpected statement.

Associate Professor Barkov, who had launched a tactical confession attack.

That he could no longer be interested in Hania.

“More importantly, he wasn’t fired during the recent boycott incident.”

“His family is well-off, so it seems he wasn’t interested in corruption.”

“So, he’s only interested in women.”

He was consistent if nothing else.

But it was even more surprising that such a man had given up on Hania.

“Associate Professor Barkov has found a new woman.”

“That’s another surprising thing. Who is it? Who’s the unfortunate person?”

“It’s the newly appointed Associate Professor Vinesha from the Department of Magic.”

And my face froze.

Barkov.

You’ve finally decided to commit suicide.

“Thanks to that, I’m relieved. Since she’s also an associate professor, she’ll handle it well.”

Hania doesn’t care as long as it doesn’t harm her.

However, my face turned serious.

Knowing Vinesha’s personality, I thought that if Barkov made a confession attack, she would really kill him.

“…Why do you look like that? Are you so sad that we’re no longer in a romantic relationship?”

Hania asked, observing my complexion.

“It’s sad that my first romance is ending like this.”

“Just accept it as it is. By the way, please go see Lady Iris later.”

“Got it, ex-girlfriend.”

“Take care, ex-boyfriend.”

With that, Hania coolly walked away.

It was a very clean break-up.

“What happened?”

Seron, who had been quietly listening to the story, suddenly stuck his head out and asked.

“A scary story that Professor Barkov is going to be murdered.”

“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

It is, indeed.

“By the way, Prince Sweet Potato, I made it to the top 32 in the preliminaries. How about that, isn’t it amazing?”

Seron boasted, patting his own back.

Seron in the top 32.

It was quite an achievement, considering the entire global academy.

Seron, it was worth encouraging him.

I raised my hand and ruffled her hair wildly.

“You really did well.”

“Oh, um.”

Seron flinched, bringing her legs together, as if she didn’t expect me to genuinely compliment her.

Then she rolled her eyes slightly and quietly turned her body.

“I have to go train more.”

Seron, embarrassed, ran away.

As my hand, which had lost its place, slid down, another face walked towards me.

Honey blonde hair fluttered.

With hair a bit longer than in the first semester, she stopped in front of me.

Isabel Luna.

She was the main heroine of the Flaming Butterfly arc.

“You, you’re back.”

I had been captured right after my duel with Isabel.

But Isabel read the determination in my eyes that I would be safe.

So she didn’t seem to worry too much.

“A celebrity has arrived.”

After showcasing the Goddess’s Wings in the duel, Isabel had gained immense fame.

Although my capture by the imperial soldiers had caused a slight pause, her fame was sure to rise even more.

From noble mtl dot com

Well, she is a person who awakened the wings of a goddess that only appeared in legends.

It was rather strange that she hadn’t become famous.

“Praising, you and I are no different.”

Unfortunately, on my side, it’s mostly infamy.

Using the magic of the ancient dragon and being captured by the imperial knights, it’s only natural.

“At that time, you knew everything, didn’t you?”

“I knew to some extent.”

If I had judged it to be truly dangerous, I would have run away desperately.

“You are something else.”

Isabel looked at me with a face full of words, then stopped.

She also knew that I had deliberately given my all to encourage her.

“…You and I haven’t settled things yet.”

As she said, Isabel and I had not yet settled things.

“I think I know the result even without trying.”

“I’m curious how long your arrogance will last.”

Isabel said that with a smile on her lips.

“But now, I don’t hate it that much.”

Perhaps there had been some change in her emotions.

Isabel’s face looked much brighter than before.

“Oh, and there was another commotion in the individual match.”

“Commotion?”

Even after Isabel’s goddess wings and celestial dragon transformation, was there still something to cause a commotion?

“Blue Flame.”

The unyielding Blue Flame was mentioned from Isabel’s mouth.

“The girl who came in second in this individual match declared that she would transfer to Jerion Academy.”

A big fish was caught.
