Immortals From My Past Life Are Still Obsessed With the Reincarnated Me

17 – Reunion, but (2)

I finished dinner with Josef and Charlotte within the time limit, and returned to my room in the dormitory, where I couldn’t sleep for a while.

The reason was simple.

The Humptons and the like were long gone.

It’s just that the bloody look of Justina the last time I saw still clearly lingers in my head and has not been erased.

‘What happened?’

I could tell that Elfin, Liwin, or Justina must have felt betrayed by me, even without questioning.

But what can I say about the Justina I saw?

I’ve never seen her like that in the 10 years we’ve been together.

What can I say…….

‘It was scary.’

I, who was not afraid of monsters or death, felt fear.

For some reason, it seems like you’re getting scared often when you’re connected to Justina these days.

As I was tossing and turning without being able to sleep easily, I came up with a few more questions.

‘Does Justina know that her memories are stored in my dagger?’

A dagger that happened to be brought into the room.

It shouldn’t have mattered since it was originally mine, but seeing that kind of memory earlier, I felt a bit uneasy.

According to my intuition as an assassin, it didn’t seem like there was any other special device…….

‘There may be some magic on it that I don’t know about, so I’ll have to leave it to my appraisal later.’

Anyway, to start with the conclusion, there is a high possibility that Justina did not know that the memory of her uttering her terrifying words was stored in this dagger.

She says, ‘Only the owner of the ancient magic silver thread dwelling here can read the memories. It’s clear that Justina doesn’t know about this function.’

If the dragon’s magic could change the ancient magic and manipulate the memory access function, there would be no reason to show me such memories.

If you tried to lock me up after dragging me into the academy, you wouldn’t show me this memory at all and would have locked me in when I entered the cage.

Of course, that memory was hundreds of years ago, and now I’m relieved of my anger again, so I might not be okay…….

‘Worst case, if Justina really gets caught and locked up, will I never see the Rehinar family, Liwin, or Elfin again?’

If it was Justina, who I had seen in her dagger memory, I felt like there would be no sense of incongruity even if she did something like that against me.

Then, what would she do if she could meet Justina by this evening? Her half-hearted mind began to lean to one side.

From ‘I want to meet you right away’ to ‘I’m a little worried’, and furthermore, it stops at ‘on hold’.

“…… Let’s go to sleep.”

Unsurprisingly, tomorrow was the first class.

It hasn’t even started yet, so I’m exhausted.

I closed my eyes in anticipation of tomorrow’s magic class.

***

The highest tower of Denbergen Academy, the chairperson’s office located on the top floor of the tower.

A gray-haired old man who looked old was walking fast, almost running down the hallway on the floor where the director’s office was located.

Those who know the old man’s social status or the reputation he has built up will wonder what the hell is going on.

That’s also true, because the old man is the headmaster of the historic Denbergen Academy and was praised by the public as ‘Archmage Zerniel’.

For Zerniel to be in such a hurry, it was a scene that was difficult to imagine even for those who knew him well.

Kung-kung-kung-kung!

Zerniel finally arrived in front of the chairperson’s office and knocked on the door of the chairperson’s office impatiently.

All I had to do was call the owner of the room with the summoning magic and wait for a while, but as if I couldn’t stand the moment when the magic was activated.

If Zerniel, who is more familiar with calling magic than knocking, is like this, then what happened?

The owner of the chairman’s office must have been curious about that, and he willingly opened the door even though he would normally have kicked him out with a low voice.

Kikik-

“Damn, you open it so fast!”

“What is it, Zerniel? I will never forgive her if she made a lot of fuss and called her main daughter because of her troublesome work or trivial matter.”

“You make a fuss, can you say that after seeing this?”

This is a conversation that would never have been established if this were a society of humans.

A young woman who spat unflattering words at an old wizard and an old man who consistently spoke respectfully to such a woman.

Unless the opponent is from the imperial family… No, even if you are from the royal family, you can’t treat Zerniel, who has risen to the pinnacle of human magic, insignificantly.

But now, the white-haired woman, Justina, the chairman of the board, was clearly treating Zerniel as a nuisance.

“Why, are you doing that demon scene again? Disquieting movements were found?”

“That… ….”

“It’s okay, so tell the nobles in the center to take care of it. No matter how much I claim to be a friendly dragon, I am not your mother and I cannot help you with everything.”

“Not that… ….”

“Then, you couldn’t believe that she came to find her original daughter while fighting again over the succession to the throne, right? I don’t want to see that problem, so just get rid of it.”

“That’s not the case! Secret! One of the Seven Wonders of Denbergen has been solved!”

Only then, Justina turned around to see Zerniel.

“What did you just say?”

“Seven Wonders! Isn’t there a riddle that the chairman made himself! One of them, the door that never opens, opened today!”

“If it is a door that will never open, surely… ….”

Justina pricked her ears up and she went over each and every Dane identification device she had once made.

Like a mousetrap that catches mice with her cheese as bait, Dane identification devices set up throughout the school to find Danes using her curiosity as bait.

She couldn’t fulfill her original purpose of finding the Dane for hundreds of years, and as time passed, the strange name of the Seven Wonders was given to the students before she knew it.

Among them, I couldn’t forget ‘The Door That Never Opens’.

That’s also true, because in the room behind the door, he’s got the dagger he once used.

“Wow, if you have definitely broken through that mystery, you can’t deny that there is a possibility that you are that person.”

“Ohhh, the long wait is finally over! Thank you, Master!”

“Sounds pitiful! It’s still too early to be sure. A door that never opens is a mystery that can be broken only by knowing the ancient text. Even if it’s someone other than Dane…….”

But Justina doesn’t move hastily.

She is the one who made up her mind that she could wait at least a thousand years for a Dane to be reincarnated in the first place.

Until now, she had hoped just in case, but when she actually looked around, there were a few cases where it was nothing, so Justina tried hard not to have too many expectations.

But just by looking at her expression, her assistant, Principal Zerniel, seemed to be more excited than Justina, who had been waiting for her for some reason.

“Are you serious?! An ancient text?! Master, do you believe that a child under the age of 20 can skillfully decipher ancient characters?! It wasn’t even 500 years ago, is it these days?”

“What, what… If that’s the case, then sure….”

“That’s not all! When the evidence is single, it is blurry, but when two overlap at the same time, it becomes much clearer! Look!”

Zerniel placed the documents he had brought on the chairperson’s desk.

“Staff reported that the student who opened the door that would never open was the same student who defeated the Trial of Fear in the shortest time.”

“…… Deneb Rehinar?”

Even Justina knows that name.

Not that long ago. Hadn’t she noticed the name she found on the list of students enrolled in the 327th just a few hours ago?

Deneb Rehinar, a boy who broke through the ordeal of fear, which was believed to be easily defeated by Danes, by setting the shortest record, and even knows ancient letters that have been used in practice for a long time.

I don’t know what will happen, but it seems worth meeting.

“Okay, can’t we just meet up?”

“Aha, you knew the name. Yes, we know the ordeal has long since lost its function as an identification device. But wouldn’t it be necessary to investigate at this point? If you just say…….”

“Didn’t you say you would meet? Stop chattering.”

Zerniel’s expression changed strangely after hearing Justina’s declaration of ‘I will meet you in person’.

At first, he smiled a lot of happy smiles, asking if he was finally meeting him, but after a while, that smile faded. Then, after thinking hard, he had a very skeptical face.

Justina frowned as she watched Zerniel’s facial expression change in real time.

“Why is that? If there is something you want to say, say it in words. Don’t try to convey your meaning with such a wrinkled face.”

“Yes, Master. But this is it… Really… Umm….”

After much thought, Zerniel finally opened his mouth.

“Meeting in person is a bit like that, isn’t it?”

“Why?”

Justina’s clear voice rang through the director’s office.

For a moment, Justina was taken aback as she seemed too aggressive, but luckily Zerniel was used to being treated like this and didn’t seem to care.

“Isn’t he like that too? To think that the head of the Denbergen Academy was meeting one-on-one with the son of a remote county who was not a descendant of the royal family or duke. Rumors will always spread.”

“That’s it, if you give a scholarship or whatever justification… ….”

“Isn’t the chairman directly involved in the scholarship? The one who barely makes an appearance in public all of a sudden? It is bound to arouse public suspicion. At worst, he won’t find him either and will end up doing only damage to the Rehynar family.”

“Okay… ….”

Anyway, the method is not right.

Justina and Zerniel, a dragon wizard who has far surpassed humans, and an old wizard who has reached the pinnacle of the human species gather their heads together and ponder.

The topic of concern was ‘How can the chairman of the board face to face with a 17-year-old boy naturally’.

At the end of the two beings, who are the magic bullets and the crystallization of knowledge, gathered in one place and put their heads together, the conclusion came from Justina’s mouth.

“What is tomorrow’s schedule for a student named Deneb Rehinar… ?”

“Schedule? Well, since I’m a student, shouldn’t I study? Now that the new semester has started, I will go to my first class with new friends.”

“I see. Then, Zerniel, use your strength to create an imaginary freshman identity who takes all classes just like Denev. And if only… Bring your uniform too.”

“Yes?”

“Is it difficult?”

“No, it’s not difficult. But, Master, please…….”

An uneasy premonition is not wrong and always true.

Justina turned her head toward her window so that no one else would notice her blushing face.

She and she nailed Zerniel.

“It would be strange for the chairperson to meet the students one-on-one, but meeting as a student would be no problem…….”

At the words of the teacher who was muttering shyly somewhere, Zerniel felt indescribable disgust and pity at the same time.

“Teacher, no matter how much you do, being a student at that age is a bit reckless… ….”

“Oh, how dare you say that! Get out now! What are you going to do if the guy who’s about to enter the graveyard doesn’t even listen to his master’s request?!”

“Oh, I see! I’ll take care of it right away!”

Justina, left alone again after sending her naughty student away, touched the hem of her dress she was wearing.

“Come to think of it, I’ve never worn her school uniform before.”

Where is Dane now?

Is Deneb Rehinar really a Dane?

Is Dane still the same as he left Justina?

If that’s the case, what did Dane, or Deneb Rehnar, think when he saw Justina’s sentences in ancient letters?

“We are waiting for you forever.”

Justina recited the sentence she had written then.

Looking at her now, she is a bit embarrassed and embarrassed, but these were Justina’s honest feelings.

If Deneb Leh Nar is just a boy who knows some ancient texts and knows no fear, he may not have been the reincarnation of a Dane.

Even if I miss this opportunity, I will keep waiting until the next one comes.

…… Yes, forever

“But, if this kid is really a Dane….”

In an instant, the atmosphere in the chairman’s office changed 180 degrees.

The blush suddenly disappeared from Justina’s face.

Her cold dragon girl skin looked parched, and the corners of her lips, which were not raised at all, felt stark.

The director of Denbergen Academy looked out the window with cold eyes.

“This time, I will never miss it.”

Justina bit her lip and muttered again as if to emphasize it.

“…… Never.”
