A Veteran of the Hero Academy

Living in a big house was like a dream, and it was enjoyable and prosperous.

You can eat anything you want whenever you want.

It was a big house, so I vaguely thought there would be a lot of people living there, but it was just a black woman and Rosa.

I didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter.

Even if they didn’t carry heavy luggage, the two liked Luna.

Rosa often held Luna in her arms and stroked her.

Her arms were so warm that Luna didn’t want to fall.

The woman in black also spoke a few words, but she often brushed Luna’s hair.

Rosa taught Luna about magic.

Rosa looked like a pretty high-ranking wizard.

The stories about magic were interesting.

After hearing Rosa’s explanation, Luna worked harder because she liked Rosa’s smiling face every time she did magic.

Luna suffered from an obsessive compulsive need to prove her worth in order not to be abandoned.

If Rosa’s face hardened even once, she couldn’t sleep that night.

“Awesome! You’ve already surpassed the level of an adult wizard, Luna! You’re a real genius!”

When Luna was finally able to cast magic without a medium, Rosa smiled brightly like never before.

Luna hid the nails she had bitten to stay up all night and smiled like Rosa.

Such happy days followed.

Then one day, Luna found a small bruise on Rosa’s arm.

Rosa pretended to be okay, but it was a big deal for Luna.

Rosa was everything to Luna.

Luna secretly cast a surveillance spell on Rosa.

Luna’s magic had already surpassed that of Rosa, and no one could recognize Luna’s magic in the mansion.

At dawn, an alarm came from the magic cast on Rosa.

Luna chanted magic and walked around her body.

Luna ordered Mana to be quiet, and no more footsteps could be heard.

The alarm was constantly coming out of Rosa’s room.

Luna checked the magic on her body once more and opened the door.

She opened the door with curiosity, but the appearance inside Rosa’s bedroom was something that young Luna could not comprehend.

Rosa was tied to the bed naked, with her eyes closed.

There were scars and bruises all over Rosa’s body.

Above Rosa was a woman in black with a club.

The black-clad woman spit out harsh swear words and hit Rosa with a club.

The black woman who noticed Luna’s presence stopped acting.

“what?”

Rosa asked in a drowsy voice.

Luna couldn’t understand Rosa’s calm voice.

Luna vaguely sensed that she had done something wrong.

“This is Luna.”

The woman in black answered, as if embarrassed.

Luna was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

“Hmm- let’s get this out of the way first.”

At Rosa’s words, a woman in black untied the things that tied him up.

“Sorry. I’m sorry.”

Luna desperately apologized for that strange appearance.

“No. Come here. Luna.”

Rosa smiled softly and gestured.

Luna hurriedly ran to Rosa’s arms.

Rosa’s body was soft and rough.

Rosa wiped Luna’s tears from bewilderment with her soft hands.

“This is how Calisha is proving her love to me.”

Rosa gently stroked Luna’s hair.

“love?”

It was the most awkward word Luna had ever said in her life.

“People are happiest when they are in love.”

Rosa gently stroked Luna’s hair and whispered.

Rosa’s expression looked so happy.

It was an expression that Luna had never seen before, so Rosa was envious.

“Luna is still young, so I don’t know, but love is invisible. To prove it, Kalisha is doing what I love.”

Luna was still too young to understand Rosa.

“Is that…so Rosa likes it?”

Luna asked, stuttering.

At Luna’s question, Rosa smiled beautifully and nodded her head.

“And also because Kalisha loves me.”

Rosa said as she looked at Kalisha with a playful expression unsuitable for her noble face.

Kalisha nodded her head with a slightly embarrassed face.

“I… I love Rosa too!”

Luna raised her voice, envying her appearance.

Rosa and Kalisha became complicated faces.

“Luna is still too young to do it.”

Rosa said with a determined expression.

The expression on her face was firm, so Luna couldn’t cry any longer.

Luna also wanted to prove her love to Rosa when she grew up quickly.

Another happy time passed.

***

It was a snowy day.

But the yellow flowers bloomed beautifully.

Luna gathered her eyes with mana and put yellow flowers on it.

“Rosa-sama is dead.”

Kalisha suddenly appeared and said in a calm voice.

Luna didn’t understand what Calisha was saying.

Luna’s mana swelled up, and Kalisha was thrown to the ground.

Although Kalisha resisted, Luna’s level had already surpassed that of Kalisha for a long time.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

Luna hastily calmed down Mana at the sight of Kalisha who was buried in the ground.

“it’s okay.”

Kalisha shook her head as if nothing was wrong and stood up.

“Ro… Where is Rosa?”

Luna couldn’t believe what Kalisha said.

No, Luna couldn’t believe it.

“You’re in the bedroom.”

We know the coordinates of Rosa’s bedroom.

Luna hurriedly used space movement magic.

“Already even the space movement magic…”

Calisha’s muttering voice faded away.

The figure of Calisha in front of him disappeared and a familiar scene appeared.

Rosa’s bedroom.

All sorts of unknown tools were scattered on the ground.

Some tools were stained with red blood.

Rosa was naked and tied to the bed, as she had seen then.

There were more scars on Rosa’s beautiful body than then.

The proofs of love that Rosa always spoke of.

Rosa’s eyes were covered.

Luna took off the eyepatch that was covering Rosa’s eyes.

Rosa’s eyes were full of joy.

Did Rosa die of love?

Rosa’s face was expressing happiness- no, more than that.

Looking at that face, I thought that Luna was envious as well.

I haven’t been able to express my love to Rosa yet.

Even Rosa didn’t show her love for me.

Did Rosa not love me?

I want to be loved too.

Luna gently closed Rosa’s eyes.

It was Kalisha who killed Rosa, but there was no anger against her.

Because what Rosa wanted, Calisha had given her.

Did Rosa thank Kalisha the moment she died?

Perhaps it was.

died of love

Kalisha entered the bedroom.

“I’m leaving here now.”

Calisha said quietly.

Even Calisha didn’t seem to be saddened by Rosa’s death.

“Because killing a noble is a felony in the Empire. I want to live longer.”

After speaking, Kalisha disappeared.

So Luna was alone again.

A few days later, some investigators from the Empire came.

They did a simple investigation.

Luna was the only subject of their investigation.

“Why are you commoners in this mansion?”

Luna told the investigator what had happened in the past.

“Masochist.. Rosa Elient.. Contrary to his appearance, he was evil.”

said the investigator with a disgusted expression on his face.

Unable to hold back her anger for a moment, Luna’s mana crushed the investigator.

The room was instantly drenched in blood.

But don’t get me wrong.

’cause I don’t love you

Armed knights entered the investigation room.

The eyes of the knights looking at Luna were full of fear.

Luna did not have to resist because she had no regrets about her life without light.

“Let everyone stop.”

A tall grandfather dressed in classy clothes entered the examination room.

“Where did you learn magic, kid?”

Grandpa asked Luna softly.

Luna didn’t feel worth answering.

“Haha! What do you think? Come with me. There are more magics in the world than you know. There must be many magic you don’t know.”

Grandpa smiled wildly and held out his hand to Luna.

Luna was intrigued by the word that there was more magic.

“But! This witch is Inspector Hulton!”

One of the knights shouted.

“Do I have to ask you for permission?”

Looking at the article, Grandpa said calmly.

“Sorry. I’m sorry! Crypt!”

Grandpa ignored the knight’s apology and took Luna’s hand.

“You will be the hero to save the world. Ha ha ha ha!”

Grandpa laughed so loud that the room rang.

So Luna came to the Hero Academy.

Another meaningless time passed.

Everyone praised Luna.

He was hailed as the greatest genius in history.

Everyone respected Luna and treated her with the utmost respect.

this is not love

No one truly loved Luna.

edible lumps.

Luna was getting tired of their pretense.

Or are you going crazy? It was very difficult to separate the two.

Luna kept remembering Rosa’s last expression.

Still, if I waited, I endured with the thought that one day someone would love Luna, but he also grew tired.

Then one day I met him.

That was the only day I made a mistake in my life.

“It looks like they will arrive soon.”

The faces of the people in the barracks were full of despair.

Maybe it’s because of fatigue from war for a long time- Luna made the mistake of setting the magic target coordinates wrong.

Because of this, the enemies could come as far as our camp.

It was obviously Luna’s fault, but none of them blamed Luna.

They devised a plan to somehow survive the situation.

“If things go wrong… Luna-sama, please use space magic to escape. Luna-sama is the hope of mankind.”

Everyone in the barracks looked at Luna with determined eyes.

Luna felt useless, but roughly nodded her head.

They started another futile meeting.

***

In the end, all plans failed.

The enemy’s forces approached right in front of our camp.

There was a feeling of despair in the eyes of all the humans who saw it.

Of course, I could win if I used all my mana, but if I did, I was too tired the next day.

Luna didn’t feel the need to do that for them.

So Luna didn’t have to tell them.

there’s no hope

Luna prepared space magic.

Seeing Luna like that, everyone raised their shields with a determined expression and set out to block the forces of the enemy.

“Please protect mankind. Hope of mankind.”

“Please take good care of our family.”

Luna nodded to them.

Luna’s reaction brought life back to their eyes.

stupid…

Feeling bored, he chanted space magic spells.

At that time, small words were heard from among the lower-class warriors who had come to move the luggage.

“Bitch like a dog. Only married people come out. The bitch who broke a mother.”

It was a quiet mumble, but Luna could hear it clearly.

Luna was excited and hurriedly moved to the place where the sound was heard.

A man of average height with dark hair and an ordinary appearance.

It wasn’t a good impression because the tip of the torn eye was soaring upwards.

“What.. what the f*ck!”

When Luna appeared right in front of him, the man stuttered out of embarrassment.

Seeing him like that, Luna felt the anticipation and joy rising from the depths.

“what?”

I wanted to hear from him again.

please tell me

His confused expression soon turned into an angry expression.

It was as if he had nowhere else to go.

“You’re going to fall behind anyway. You’re the only one playing, you bastard!” I said!

Lovely words poured out of the man’s mouth.

The man grabbed Luna’s hair as if he couldn’t get rid of his anger even with words.

Its movements were as poor as a low-level warrior, but Luna did not avoid it.

There was no reason to avoid the long-awaited situation.

Holding Luna’s head, he also trembled as if he was being blessed by love.

My life wasn’t worthless.

Are you feeling it too?

Ah, I’ve been waiting for so long.

My love.

My everything.

As Luna’s eyes filled with joy, he frowned.

“It’s the hope of mankind, damn it. This was just a crazy bitch.”

The man muttered with an annoyed expression on his face.

I was soon overjoyed and embraced him in his arms.

Does my face now look a little like Rosa?

***

I guess I was sitting next to that crazy guy.

Also, there was no luck today.

On days like this, it is best to saree.

Still, if you listen to the 4th period, the class is over.

Then you should be stuck in your dorm room and not move.

Fortunately, the 4th period passed without any problems.

I crouched down, packed my things, and left the classroom.

Now we just have to safely go to the dormitory.

Excitedly, I ran to the dormitory.

Fortunately, I was able to get into my room without any problems.

It was as if he was taken to another world for a moment and then returned.

The road I used to walk without thinking would be so full of tension.

It’s the end of a long day when you come back for dinner after a little rest.

The genre of school life suddenly changed, but I spent it safely nonetheless.

So calmly I lay down on the bed.

I felt heavy fatigue and lethargy closed my eyes.

“Thump-thump-thump-“

I slept soundly and woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door.

I looked at my watch and couldn’t sleep.

I slept well, who is it?

He forcibly lifted his heavy body.

Feeling annoyed waking up from a deep sleep, he opened the door.

“What the f*ck!- Yeah?!”

In my sleep, a harsh sound came out of my mouth without realizing it.

But when I saw the other person, I gasped for breath.

In front of the door was Luna, who was being polite.

“Ah… Hello! My name is Luna! Did we meet before? We meet again by chance! Hehe!”

Luna murmured while blushing her cheeks as if embarrassed.

Feeling anxious, he clasped his hands in front of him and squirmed.

This is a men’s dormitory, you crazy.

I was instantly blown away by the bizarre sight.

How could it be a coincidence that you entered the men’s dormitory and knocked on my door?

I realized once again that this woman was absolutely insane.

“Let’s go have dinner with me!”

Luna smiled brightly like cotton candy.

I want to have dinner comfortably.

I felt dizzy as I remembered that the day wasn’t over.
