chapter 12
12 – 3. Test (6)-There is no villain without a story.
Dyers stood up expressionlessly and spat.
Blood came out mixed with the bitter taste.
Riche is a top-tier player in Beatus Academy.
She must have adjusted her strength, but her head thumped.
Dyers barely breathes as she runs her hand over his forehead and runs through his hair.
Students started to go back to their seats, probably deciding that there would be no more interest.
At some point, only Pur and Dyers were left there.
Purr closed her eyes tightly. She had a gut feeling of her death.
She has no witnesses, so she herself is now dead.
She will be killed by Dyers.
She stood by and watched Dyers get hit on the wrong subject. Even with this, she was finished.
‘Sorry..! Don’t forgive your ugly daughter…’
She didn’t have a bad life.
A good family. Warm home.
I felt sorry for my family who always believed in me.
He had a talent for magic. Of course, since Puru was not loved by Mana, she was a mediocre talent.
Believing in that mediocre talent, her parents sent her to the academy while robbing all of her property and going into debt.
And the moment she realized that she couldn’t live up to those expectations, Puru couldn’t help but blame herself.
My grades kept dropping. No matter how hard she tried, she kept pounding aimlessly at an iron wall she couldn’t break.
Her letters didn’t show it, but her family’s fortune was gradually declining.
Her family wasn’t wealthy enough to afford her filthy expensive school fees.
Driven to her brink, she had to win her scholarship. She needed hope.
Her family’s hope was herself. Her only hope for her was her family.
But her grades got worse and worse, and now she was in the middle and lower ranks.
It was a self-evident fact that at this rate she would not be able to graduate.
At some point, she felt uneasy about everything.
It was difficult for her to focus on anything because she was anxious about everything.
I went down to her parents’ house during her vacation.
Looking at the faces of her family, I thought of taking a break for a little while and overcoming this slump.
You have to take your time. If you hurry, it’s rather that it won’t work.
‘Let’s do our best..! For the sake of the family!’
She opened the door of the friendly house with a smile after a long time.
And what greeted her was her father lying on her bed after she had lost consciousness, and her mother’s smile, which could be described as skinny and twisted.
It was her younger siblings who stopped even telling her that they were hungry.
It was the result of bad news overlapping bad news.
Pur’s father boasted that he could send at least one of her to her academy.
She actually said that she was poor for a year, but she was able to make it. He was healthy, his wife was hardworking, and his children grew up early.
Of course, it didn’t last long.
The village was attacked by monsters.
The lord demanded a heavier tax, claiming that it was the price for stopping the monsters.
If you sell a tree, there should be branches left, but it was a situation where not even leaves were left.
Finally, my father started to overdo it.
I only slept for an hour or two, and the rest of the time I struggled with the tree and myself.
You just have to hold on a little longer.
If you hold on just a little longer, my daughter… Won’t have to live a life like ours.
When fighting a tree, that imagination became a very powerful shield and also a sharp spear.
My sweet imagination was always crushed by reality like the cold winter floor.
As he smashed the hard wood with his axe, he didn’t know he was being smashed. No, I got it, but he couldn’t stop.
In the end, Furu’s father collapsed.
The name of the illness was overwork.
Fortunately, he was treated by a generous doctor, and the crisis was averted.
But he was no longer conscious.
Even her mother, who had been overdoing it, began to overdo it.
She would gather herbs, sew, and mop until her hands blew.
Nevertheless, the situation did not improve.
The family tried their best to hide the situation from Purr.
But there were things he could hide and things he couldn’t.
A skinny mother hugging herself.
Little siblings embrace her older sister with joy, not knowing where her chubby flesh has gone.
Her dad who can’t see her. Father.
I have to do something. Anything is fine, so please show me something.
A person without hope cannot live even for a fleeting moment. In a situation where her hopes might be uprooted, she was thinking about finding some leeway for an ignorant idiot.
From then on, Purr began to harm himself.
Returning to the academy, Puru didn’t sleep at all and started practicing spells or memorizing reference books.
She didn’t know that her own body was being destroyed.
Pur tried.
But my grades went down.
Pur tried.
But her grades didn’t go up.
Pur tried.
But that was all.
Puru, who became a third year student, was about to take her mana measurement test.
As much as this test, she must get an A. Only then could she keep the possibility of a shimmering scholarship.
However, it was impossible for her to receive an A with as much mana as blue.
Then, letters and parcels from Puru came to her room. Her caller was unknown.
“……”
Purr looked at her white powder.
She and she looked in the mirror after a long time.
Her shiny mint hair has lost its vibrance.
Her charming gray eyes showed nothing but red bloodshot eyes.
Pur swallowed her saliva.
She has never done anything dishonest before.
She never…
‘Don’t be an unclean person.’
That was her best teaching from her own father.
Pur had to choose.
In her own hopes and her own convictions.
Her choice wasn’t too long.
And the result was death.
In a situation where the person who committed her cheating and saved herself from being killed by it was framed, she did nothing as a result. She
She thought that she was mortally guilty to him. She was furry.
At some point, Dyers’ eyes turned to Fur.
Purr closed her eyes tightly.
‘Ahhh!’
Dyers ignored her like that.
She lay down again and began to erase all traces of mana powder with the dispel.
Purr’s pupils widened, shivering as her tears and her runny nose covered her face.
Even when his lips were cracked and bleeding, Dyers didn’t say anything, let alone complain.
I just kept silently erasing her traces.
Suddenly, she remembered him.
There was a difference between a country boy who accidentally discovered his talent after living in a small land on the outskirts of the country, and a man who was excommunicated but was undoubtedly the blood of Howlan.
Her For her, Dyers was like a mirage full of rumors.
She had never even seen her face, let alone remembered the conversation she had with her.
She only heard of him by hearsay. He was the object everyone called a madman.
So, so, I didn’t understand the current situation at all.
Are you trying to erase the traces and kill me..?
“What are you doing..?”
Pur mustered up the courage to speak to Dyers.
It was the courage to prepare for death.
If I was going to die anyway, I wanted to hear what I was curious about and go.
But the answer I heard was completely unexpected.
.
Latina was able to find Dyers’ luggage in a public dump.
That too, by a hair’s breadth just before the real split.
The only regret is that nearly half of the luggage was lost.
This was something I finally found after searching through close to a dozen trash cans.
And when I opened the luggage, there was an old diary.
Latina has always made her honesty her top priority. Because she was like that, it was unacceptable for her to carelessly look at other people’s diaries.
But criminals. In particular, such evil was an exception.
This was not an invasion of privacy, but part of an interrogation.
Latina laughed at the excuse she had no choice but to think of herself. She carefully picked up the diary.
I’m curious. If you said you weren’t curious, that would be a lie.
But she had no right to read.
In the past few days, Dyer, no, that human has definitely changed.
And the direction of the change was closer to positive than negative.
Although she said it would absolutely be a coincidence, it was not easy for her to save her juniors by abandoning her body according to common sense. Even more, Dyers’ skills were mediocre, not worthy of the name of the eldest son of the ‘Howlan’ family.
A subject with only that kind of skill… I get angry when I think of myself who foolishly followed Dyers’ words in the first year without knowing that.
Skill and bravado are two different things, really.
The story leaked for a while, but the important point was that the person who was kicked out of the student council was unexpectedly quite moderate.
His characteristic arrogant tone and habits still remain, but the person himself has calmed down.
That’s strange. If it was that child, he would definitely have to run amok and have an accident.
If Dyers was like a ticking time bomb when he was student council executive officer, should we say that his eyes are completely liberated now?
The eyes that just accepted everything..?
I deliberately tried to argue just in case, but the reaction was calm.
Latina thought that Dyers’ state was a singularity coming out of a state of shock.
When a person is suddenly shocked, that person changes.
For the better or for the worse, changing a person is always accompanied by a strong shock.
Then let’s analyze Dyers’ situation.
He monopolizes most of the power in the center, and is the leader and head of the four powerful families of the empire. As a Young master of the Howlan family, he should have lived a full life.
As a result, everything in the world seemed easy and my personality became that shape.
In short, a life where everything is guaranteed from the start.
What would happen if such a person were to experience ‘failure’ for the first time?
I was excommunicated from the Howlan family.
He was kicked out of the student council executive position.
Even in the dormitory, there is no one on his side anywhere.
The world of nobles always distinguishes and judges who will benefit them. It was a world where even marriage was done for gain and loss, not for love.
In such a situation, how many nobles would not kill Dyers, who is no longer ‘Howlan’?
From the perspective of Latina, Dyers’ condition is completely isolated.
If you’re an idiot like Dyers, there were many cases where you would go berserk even more in situations like that.
Those who have lost their status are afraid of the aftermath.
It was common for him to continue running wild and to appeal that he was still in good health.
But Dyers didn’t.
On the contrary, he accepted it calmly, like someone who had given up on everything.
That kind of reaction from that human, not from anyone else, made Latina a little embarrassed.
But she soon ignored it. Because she doesn’t want to care, and there’s not much reason to care.
She had no right to see his diary. Latina was about to put her diary down like that.
At that moment, the wind blew and lost her diary.
The diary spread violently in all directions.
Ripped pieces of paper even came out.
“Tsk. Just as irritating as the owner.”
A slightly annoyed Latina bent over to pick up her diary.
It was completely unintentional for Latina to see it.
“…… Huh?”
‘I failed. Abandoned.’
‘I found a good spot in the Eden Forest.’
‘Summer vacation seems appropriate.’
‘It’s a very sparsely populated place. Like it.’
Army It was difficult to read the contents because the army was torn, but it was a sentence that could not hide the feeling of fighting.
It was certainly wrong to spy on other people’s diaries, but Latina’s intuition spoke.
There is something.
