All Warriors Are My Disciples

15. Future Worker

I failed.

I couldn’t protect the world, and I couldn’t protect my seniors.

I couldn’t protect even the most precious person in the end.

“… Master.”

With barely moving hands, I tried to shake Master in my arms.

However, instead of nagging not to wake up, all that came back was a terrible silence.

I know, you’ve already stopped breathing.

He left for a place I will never see again.

I don’t know why that strong man couldn’t even use his hands properly and was pushed away.

It didn’t matter at all because it was the same for me and my seniors.

“Coke!”

Something groaned and flowed from his throat.

Looking at his lips, dark red blood and fragments of organs come out.

I can no longer fight or resist.

Now all I had left was death, that cold reality.

“….”

I raised my head and looked around.

My trustworthy seniors had already become cold corpses.

Taesabu, who was a strong hope, turned into ashes without even leaving a body.

And even the only person I trusted couldn’t stand it in the end.

Koo Goo Goong -.

I forcibly raise my head at the annoying noise.

In front of me, something grotesque is slowly approaching.

I am not a human, not an elf, not a beast, not even a monster or monster.

It cannot be defined by any words in the world.

Yes, it would be more correct to see it as ‘hostility’, as Master once said.

To this world, to all life, to hope and resistance.

A pure yet terrifyingly dark enmity.

What will become of this world now?

All the warriors were defeated, and the allied forces that followed them were annihilated.

All that remains are women, children, and the elderly who cannot fight.

What is left for them is death or a more miserable life.

… Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me now.

All of me has already been destroyed, everything of me has come to an end.

Even if I could survive, I didn’t want to continue this miserable life.

“Master. Master.”

Now hoping for an answer that will never come back.

I faced the bizarre guy right in front of me.

The existence that will give me the proper disposition of death when I fail.

Until now, they were hostile, evil, and meant to be killed.

For now, more than anything else, it seemed like a fate I wanted to meet.

“I’m sorry.”

I calmly witnessed the black staining in front of my eyes.

I was once called a hero, Iris Future Walker.

That’s how it came to an end.

* * * * * * * * * *

“Iris.”

“….”

“My disciple. What are you doing besides eating?”

… I will, Master.

Why am I eating with you?

You must have passed away in my arms.

I should have met my end while holding you like that.

Why am I sitting across from you and eating?

‘Is it a dream?’

… No, you can’t. It can’t be a dream.

A dream is something you can only dream of when you are asleep.

Did I fall asleep? No, not at all.

I am dead. So perfectly and miserably.

Without adding another expression or any other possibility.

Definitely dead.

My body was bruised, and it was impossible for that mysterious hostility to save me.

To them, I and we are the enemy itself and an annoying hindrance.

It would be meaningless to hold me as a hostage as I am dying.

Why take hostages when all forces capable of resisting have already been swept away?

So what the hell is this? A fantasy to see you for a while before you die?

However, everything in front of me was too vivid to see.

The moment I secretly try to pinch my thighs with the mindset of, “No way.”

f*ck!-

“Huh?!”

My eyes flashed, and a thrill of pain spread from my head to my entire body.

It hurts so much, but strangely, I miss it so much.

This, this sense, yes. This was definitely Master’s honey night.

“You used to do it, but now you stop eating and doze off? Don’t be fooled, eat quickly. In the afternoon, after taking a picture of the top of the mountain and training, I will sprint to the bottom of the mountain and then climb the cliff again.”

It’s a murderous plan that seems like a sweet smell will come out of your mouth just by listening to it.

I haven’t done any physical training like this since I officially became a hero.

Because just fighting monsters and worshiping demons was training itself.

The time in my life when I had such a murderous time, that was definitely the only time.

I wandered the world as an orphan with no parents, siblings, or relatives.

Meeting Master the moment I was starving to death.

The one who said to me, who was nothing, ‘You are a warrior.’

The moment when I had to rise to the ranks of a warrior.

“Master.”

“Don’t think of saying something stupid. I have no intention of dropping even one of them. No, go back.”

“….”

This is real, unadorned real.

I don’t even know what happened or why, but one thing is certain.

I’m back. To the moment before the catastrophe unfolds.

To the happiest, brightest, and most missed time.

‘How was my past self?’

When I think about it, it was embarrassing enough to make me want to bite my tongue.

I wonder why I was so immature.

Compared to other seniors, he has the least talent and ability.

Again, even thinking about it now, I wonder why he caused such trouble.

To the extent that, if possible, he would want to visit his past self and hit his head a lot.

… Ah. Come to think of it, the me of the past is now the me of the present.

“… Master?”

“I told you not to look at me with such earnest eyes.”

While saying that, Master raises his hand, and his body trembles.

A reaction imprinted on my body without even knowing it because I was beaten so much.

Even such trivial things can’t be fantasy.

‘… I don’t know why. No, none of that matters. I’m back. I’m back.’

A corner of my chest tickles. That tickling soon turns into uncontrollable excitement.

I desperately wanted to hug Master right away and just cry.

But once is enough for such a fool.

If I really returned to the past, what I should do is clear.

To somehow prevent the tragedy from recurring.

To prevent me, my seniors, Taesabu, and my master from disappearing.

And to utterly exterminate those damn beings!

Let’s calm down, let’s wake up. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If things go wrong due to a pointless mistake, you lose what you have gained through luck.

I even thought about whether I should tell the truth to my teacher as soon as possible.

Actually, I died and returned to the past.

This stupid disciple actually came from the future.

‘… No. No matter how you think about it, it’s not like that.’

Suddenly people say that they know the future or that they have returned.

It’s natural for anyone to look at you strangely when you say something like this.

It’s not just a matter of believing and believing.

When I checked my current physical condition, I couldn’t believe it. I returned to my current self.

I thought you’d bring at least one of the skills you’ve carved into your body.

All I have right now is my unique fluttering and the ability to annoy my master.

This doesn’t help anything.

The only weapon I have is knowing the future better than anyone else.

In order to use that part, I must be present at that time and place.

The original flow must not be disturbed.

If something happens that I don’t know about because of that change, everything could be in vain.

You have to watch, and watch again, and step forward at the most decisive moment.

In order to do that, I had to follow the flow of the past, whether I like it or not.

No… Should I say that I live my life as it is now, not the past?

“Master!”

I have to follow my current life.

Although I’m a bit stupid, I don’t want to understand myself.

Sometimes there will be times when you hate it to the point of cursing and cursing.

Because I don’t want minor changes to grow later and erode my advantage.

“Why is that, disciple?”

“But I think I will die from overwork before I become a hero!”

“If you don’t want to be beaten to death, do what you are told to do.”

“Hey! You are too good!”

“Do you know how many months you are in the right place? Will you take this opportunity to talk about who is too much?”

I hate it while shaking my head hard! Absolutely hate it! Answered.

After that, I lived as the Iris Future Walker of that time.

Injecting experiences into this weak body in the same way as the original flow.

Every time Master asks me to gather herbs, he grumbles on the outside.

Inwardly, I tried to bring out as much as possible of everything I remembered.

There were so many things that I couldn’t recall everything, down to the smallest details.

Still, I remembered almost all the major events.

Of course, it wasn’t always easy to follow the flow of the past.

Sometimes I tried to change things without even realizing it.

It was the same when I went to Taesabu right away and sparred.

Originally, it would be right to be helpless without being able to do anything.

Because I think of the strange relationship between Master and Taesabu in the past.

And when we met again, I saw that he was still quite close to Master.

Unbeknownst to me, I wanted to blur the relationship between Taesabu and Master.

‘I couldn’t do that, like an idiot.’

Thanks to that, I became more wary of Taesabu, so it was my mistake.

I’m determined not to do this next time, so I’m trying to control myself.

“I would like you to take care of Iris while I am away for a while.”

As it was originally, it was definitely right that Master should take me.

But the moment when he suddenly said that he would leave me behind.

I felt my hair turn white.

So I said that I wanted to go with Master, and I had to do it unconditionally.

I ended up pouring out very questionable words from anyone’s point of view.

I know I made a mistake, but I know I shouldn’t.

I will definitely follow Master there.

I had to go where Master wanted to go.

‘You shouldn’t waste your time there. It’s fatal to both me and Master.’

Maybe the first and last chance.

I don’t want to miss it, I must catch it.

The future given to me by the world, but also the past.

It is not a future where everyone dies together, but everyone survives together.

Walking through the rising light at the end of darkness.

I wanted to face such a future.
