NOVEL NEXT chapter 9
9 – sister
“Huh…”
I sighed and left the classroom.
By the time the lecture I had to listen to today was over, it was already 5 o’clock.
it’s too hard…
class is too hard
Is it natural… I was half-forced to drop out of high school and only did kendo, so I couldn’t complete my higher education on Earth, but it must be strange that I have the brain to keep up with the education in another world.
So when I listened to Raiden’s memory as much as possible, my head felt like it would break.
But what was more difficult was…
‘Why the f*ck is everyone staring at me…’
Every time I go to class, everyone looks at me like crazy.
At first they were surprised to see me reappear,
Before long, I am surprised at how calmly I am in class.
Well… if it was the original Raiden, he would smell like alcohol, stop talking to the professor, and flirt with the female students around him…
It was strange to see such a guy quietly taking classes.
It was a day that seemed to use up a lot of energy…
Of course, compared to the day I spent in my previous life, it’s like heaven…
While thinking about this and that, I was heading to the dormitory.
In the distance, I could spot someone.
“……”
I stopped when I saw him.
A sad look, limited eyes, shiny gold eyes and blonde hair.
A handsome boy was walking on the other side.
‘Alan Reinhardt…’
Hero.
The chosen champion of this generation.
who is loved by all.
Several people gathered around him.
The second princess of the empire, the second daughter of the duke of Robben, the chosen saint of this generation, and even the first year senior.
……
It’s like they’re all women, but…
I looked at him with a complicated expression.
Unlike me, a being who receives happiness and love.
‘It would have been nice if I possessed Alan…’
If I possessed a body that was loved by everyone instead of a body that was hated by everyone…
Damn, let’s stop thinking about it.
Goddess has already promised happiness.
You can achieve it with this body.
maybe…
While I was lost in my thoughts for a while, the princess next to Alan poked him and pointed in my direction.
Ike, you stared too hard.
I hurriedly turned around and left the place.
.
.
.
That night.
“Drreung… Pooh…”
With Rachel’s snoring coming from the next room as the background sound, I was training myself.
Simple push-ups.
Originally, in my previous life, I easily did 100 exercises and moved on to the next exercise.
It seemed that Raiden’s body, which had miraculous stats of strength D- and physical strength E+, had a limit of 10.
I had no choice but to do 10 reps, rest, repeat 10 reps and rest, stimulating my muscles.
I didn’t want to do much because it was a sport that I would die in my previous life, but I needed a certain amount of strength to survive at Reynolds Academy.
Because Reynolds Academy was attacked a lot in the original story.
In order to eliminate the hero of this generation, ‘Alan Reinhardt’, the demons launch numerous raids.
There were even times when demons would show up in person.
Fortunately, [The Warrior Loved by Everyone] is a healing film, so Alan and those around him were not seriously harmed, but I am different.
My previous life was a waste.
It is also very thick, a waste without dreams and hopes.
The ending is not a happy ending, but a suicide ending.
Thinking about it, I couldn’t be sure that I wouldn’t film waste in this life.
Even though I’ve been possessed, I don’t want to die without getting the happiness promised by the goddess.
At least enough to survive the rapids.
I had to take an average C for the degree of conformity.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
How many hours would you like to exercise?
-Titling!
A mechanical sound rang in my ears and a notification popped up.
[Your strength rank has risen by 1. current rank D]
As expected, the rank was low, so I was able to see the effect in a few hours.
D is just the strength of an average person.
If you repeat the exercise for about 2 months, you will be able to go up to C rank.
Of course, it’s so hard to raise the rank from B rank onwards, so it won’t go up even if it takes a few years.
“Whoa… Should I just stop here for today…”
my arm is numb
How many things have you done?
I rubbed my screaming arm and got up for a shower.
That moment.
-Titling!
[Main Quest Appears!]
Suddenly, a notification sounded and the status window turned on.
‘Main Quest…?’
I tilted my head and clicked on the blue window.
[Main Quest]
Title: Let’s Get Power!
[Contents]
Head to the designated location.
[with map]
[compensation]
??????
[penalty]
doesn’t exist
[Time limit: 3 days]
“What is this…”
A quest to suddenly cut the front and back and head to the designated place.
Rewards are question marks and there are no penalties.
Is there a reason?
Most of the quests I’ve seen so far have been a kind of ‘guideline’ that tells me how to behave and where to head.
If that quest tells you to go…
“what?”
The places marked on the map are familiar to the eye.
The mountain behind the academy…?
‘If it’s the mountain behind the academy…’
This is what was in the original.
There is a hidden ruin in the mountain behind the academy.
Ruins dedicated to the God of Joy, the God of Wrath, and the God of Sorrow.
It was a ruin that was revealed when Alan, who climbed the mountain to deal with the monsters that appeared in the back mountain, discovered a secret passage.
And Alan, who entered it, gets the sword that is said to be the strongest in the world.
I think it was an episode that made the main character more fraudulent.
‘But you want me to see this…?’
Isn’t this the main character Giyeon?
why do i have this
“Well……”
The result of thinking about whether I should go or not.
I decided to go once.
It may be going to a place other than the ruins in the first place,
Even if you go to the ruins, according to my memory, it’s not just ‘that sword’ that you can get there.
“Shall we go tomorrow?”
The time limit is three days, and if it’s right to go to the ruins, it won’t take too long.
I think I can go right after class tomorrow.
First of all, I need to wash my sweaty body.
.
.
.
The second day since Raiden Lisitt returned to the academy.
Even in a short time, news of his return had spread throughout the academy.
‘The crazy Confucius is back!’
Raiden, who was also a member of the 3rd ducal family and was famous within the academy because rumors about him were so inflated.
Among those who had heard bad rumors about Raiden, there were even those who thought Raiden was something other than human.
Anyway, thanks to Raiden’s high reputation, the news of him spread beyond the second year to other years.
And, 1st grade.
There was one person with a blank look on hearing the news about Raiden.
“Your brother… came back…?
Her name is Ariel Lisit.
As the eldest daughter of the Lisitt family, she was born with a natural talent for magic and is the pride of the family.
Ranked second in the first year of the academy.
At the same time, he was also the younger brother of Raiden Lisitt, the main character of the news that made the academy buzz.
When Ariel heard the news from her friends, she put on a dazed expression for a moment and then jumped out of her seat.
“I have to meet my brother…!”
Saying that, Ariel ran out of the classroom.
I heard the voices of my friends behind me, but I ignored them.
Even though the bell announcing the start of class rang, Ariel did not stop running.
I left the first hall used by first-year students and ran toward the second hall used by second-year students.
Reynolds Academy is huge, so even within the academy, you have to ride in a dedicated carriage.
The problem was that the wagons did not turn during the time the students were attending lectures.
So Ariel just had to run.
The distance that takes 15 minutes by carriage, I ran with my body.
“Swift”
As she ran, even using magic, she murmured quietly.
.
.
.
Leiden Lysit.
To Ariel, Leiden Lisit was a caring older brother.
A childhood full of curiosity.
Whenever there was something he didn’t know, his smart brother explained it step by step.
Even though she was bothered to play with her every time, her brother was with her without being annoyed.
If she fell down the street, she would comfort her while she was crying and put candy in her mouth.
When I came across something like sweets or chocolate, I always cut it in half and handed the larger one to Ariel.
And when she had finished eating it, she put a small portion into her mouth, too, on the pretext of a stomach ache or lack of appetite.
Ariel soon followed such a caring brother.
Until he changes…
When Ariel was 15 years old.
Her mother, Philippa Lysit, died.
She said she sacrificed herself to protect her brother.
Ariel cried loudly in front of her mother’s grave.
He cried bitterly and miserably.
Without knowing that her cries were tearing Raiden’s heart.
It was already too late by the time she had recovered to the extent that she was able to gather her mind and look around.
Raiden was already horribly ruined.
After that, Ariel never saw Raiden’s smile again.
like that for a year and a half.
If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s been a short time.
Raiden’s evil deeds, which he thought would soon subside, only got worse as the days passed.
According to rumors, he even developed a hobby of collecting s*x slaves.
Amid those rumors and whispers.
Ariel was getting tired little by little.
The smile he had given me was no longer there.
In the past, when I thought of him, I pictured him smiling naturally.
Now, when I think of him, all I can think of is a drunken, drunken man.
When she tried to talk, Raiden unilaterally rejected it.
Ariel felt resentful of her brother.
Even though I waited like this, I resent him for pretending not to know and thinking as he pleases.
Such resentment piles up and piles up.
eventually explode.
It was a day unlike any other.
Ariel had just entered the academy, and was working hard to adapt to life at the academy.
news from her.
The news was that Raiden had been beaten up for flirting with freshman prospect Alan Reinhardt’s girls.
Ariel felt annoyed.
3 days ago.
It was only three days ago that I told him to act more carefully.
I thought I couldn’t stand it any longer.
At least, I thought, if his brother had even a little thought, he wouldn’t have done that today.
Because that day was Ariel’s birthday.
Ariel, furious, went to his brother and argued.
Why are you doing this?
please stop now
Is it so good to go around hurting someone?
She got angry, and Raiden ignored her with his usual dry reply.
Anger welled up inside.
I hated him for acting like this until the day it was his birthday.
Feelings such as regret, sadness, anger, resentment, and hatred were mixed together and turned into hideous thorns.
Something I would never normally have said.
Words came out that I hadn’t even thought of.
“Rather… that day, you should have died instead of my mother…”
The words came out that he thought were too cruel.
I just wish it had stopped there.
Unfortunately, her mouth didn’t stop.
“You shouldn’t have died!! Why did trash like you live and your mother died… Just you! You shouldn’t have died!!!”
Screaming, she opened her tightly closed eyes.
And saw.
Raiden’s face turned blue.
Ariel looked at that expression and thought.
oh
I made a mistake.
Raiden froze for a moment, then turned and disappeared.
and after that day.
Raiden is gone.
.
.
.
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
Ariel runs while breathing heavily.
Before I knew it, I arrived at Building 2 and was running through the corridors.
The school uniform, which was neatly worn, was completely disheveled.
Her proud mother’s red hair was drenched in sweat.
She forced herself to swallow the tears welling up in her eyes.
The last time I saw Raiden.
His white face and his madly trembling pupils kept flickering.
-Rather… On that day, you should have died instead of Mom…
no.
-You should have died!! Why is trash like you living and my mother dead…
I didn’t mean it.
– Just you! you should have died!!!
I’ve never thought of it that way.
I didn’t want my brother to disappear.
I didn’t want my brother to be sad.
sorry.
I was so young and stupid that my words came out in vain.
It’s okay if you’re not the caring older brother of the past.
It’s okay even if you’re an older brother who’s called a maniac.
So please.
Please don’t disappear like that
Before I knew it, I saw the classroom door in front of me.
Ariel ran and kicked the door without hesitation.
-bang!
The door opens with a loud sound.
Upon entering, there were professors and students looking at her with surprised expressions.
She looked around and found Raiden.
And a voice in her ears.
“Ariel…?”
It was clearly her brother’s voice.
When I turned my head, a black-haired, black-eyed boy caught my eye.
Although he had lost a lot of weight, it was definitely her brother.
Ariel saw her brother looking at her with a puzzled expression,
Eventually, she burst into tears and ran to him and hugged her.
