I Became an Academy Heroine Stalker - Chapter 125



125 – Afterword – Ersia & Lesha

The endless towers of the majestic giant warriors are lined up on both sides, and in the middle, gothic-style towers and castles boast lofty majesty.

It was the planet Middleheim, where Eternity’s headquarters was located.

Unlike other planets, it had a flat structure and only had Eternity’s headquarters, so it was a one-sided place to be called a planet.

ㅡTto-gak, tto-gak, tto-gak.

Ershia enters [Eternity Headquarters].

After 53 episodes, it finally came to an end.

In Earth time, it was approximately 500 years.

In terms of the time of the universe, it is only an instant, but spending 500 years in a repeated flow was quite a task.

However, thanks to Han Tae-jin, the subject of this mission, we were finally able to tie the knot.

Of course.

‘Please, I hope you are safe….’

I was worried about Taejin, who was in critical condition.

The crisis of failure came again in front of the mighty god Rachel, and Taejin used a mechanical device made by Yura.

The device was still unfinished.

Despite the dissuading of the party, Taejin removed the mana filtering breathing device and put on the mana booster device as if it was not a big deal.

Thanks to that, I won.

He became a monster to catch the monster.

However, because of absorbing dark mana as it is, a body transformation comparable to that of a monster occurred, and the party had to start the second battle to stop Taejin.

If Hannah, Mihwa Baek, and Yura hadn’t led Han Baekho’s division, Han Taejin wouldn’t have been saved, and they wouldn’t have been able to get out of the basin full of monsters.

It feels like all events are clapping together for success.

And at the center of it all, there was a cadet named Han Tae-jin.

It is still unknown why he made the change in the 53rd, but it was an undeniable fact that he was the key to the mission.

Thank you.

For doing your best and sacrificing yourself to defeat God Rachel.

Just being in critical condition was a miracle.

Hunters who became addicted to dark mana and began to turn dark always met a miserable end.

However, Taejin did not let go of the string of reason and succeeded in neutralizing the dark mana in the exploding madness.

And of course, it was Lesha who had a great influence on that neutralization.

Lesha calmed down the explosive madness and held on to her losing sanity as much as possible.

Thanks to her, Taejin was able to escape from complete darkness.

‘Anyway, I never thought Lesha was from another planet.’

Right after Taejin lost consciousness.

Lesha’s body began to turn into a halo of light.

And then Lesha disappeared, saying it was time to return to her planet.

She was Ercia, who only found out upon returning to Eternity headquarters that there was exchange between certain planets.

‘Well, space is a place where there is still so much to learn and experience.’

Even for the apostles who have now completed their first mission, the universe is like an unknown world.

ㅡTto-gak, tto-gak, tto-gak.

Elsia’s steps stopped.

It was a large circular hall.

A place where gold tiles embroider the floor and three golden pillars stand.

《Are you here? Ercia.》

Upon arriving there, an almighty voice echoes through the hall.

Ercia answered, lowering her head.

“Yes.”

It was the voice of Elmen, a high-ranking apostle who manages the new apostles.

《As expected, you did not disappoint my expectations.》

“It took a long time.”

《No. Even after 1,000 years, there are numerous apostles who cannot find an answer.”

“I want to ask you something.”

“Could the person responsible for the mission chosen by Eternity be wrong?”

《Yes.》

“… Okay. But I have no doubt that Eternity’s choice will be wrong for no reason.”

《That is also true. Eternity’s top-level apostles’ choices are always consistent.”

“You mean it was a test?”

“We are the apostles in charge of the fate of the planet. Flexible thinking, determination, and overall insight are essential virtues. Also, only when you can find the answer yourself can you become the main god of the planet.”

“… It was a test. Evil.”

“There is something else I want to ask.”

“I think regress is rewinding the future. Those who have lost their memories can only change according to the choices of those who have them.”

Active change cannot occur. It’s just the beginning of the same day for them.”

“But there were people who made a difference on their own without me intervening. He was the subject of a new mission. “Is this possible?”

Only the highest ranking apostles would know. Or not.”

“Or… ?”

《Maybe another apostle to save you.》

“… “Are you saying I am saved?”

《I don’t know the exact thing. The opinion of the highest-ranking apostles is immeasurable.”

“….”

Elsia, who seemed somewhat shocked, looked up in silence.

An apostle who works to save himself.

Han Tae-jin in the 53rd episode showed changes that fit the analogy, but it was only an analogy.

Because even though he is an apostle, he cannot carry out everything.

However, the name Taejin Han was bound to be engraved more strongly in Ercia’s mind.

Han Tae-jin.

No matter what his identity was, it was clear that he was an extraordinary man.

《If you have nothing more to ask, take a break now.》

“What happens when the break is over?”

《Now I have only taken my baby steps as an apostle. Now it is time to begin the actual classes in order to become the main lord of the planet you saved.》

“Full-scale class… ?”

Elsia muttered suspiciously.

Next, her lips draw a thin line.

From noble mtl dot com

Becoming the god of the saved planet meant heading back to Earth.

Ercia raised her head and spoke while looking at the end of her pillar.

“Good.”

She was Ercia who thought that perhaps what she saw in the Tower of Trials was not a trial but the future.

“Oh my God.”

“You’re back.”

“Yes.”

“How come you were okay?”

It was a luxurious palace.

Various weapons and accessories hanging on the walls radiate gold, the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling look old-fashioned, and bright lights illuminate the palace’s luxury.

When Taejin summoned him to go on a campaign trip, the place that was close to an old castle had already been reborn as a palace.

With every summons, expedition, and return, the clan’s lifestyle, culture, and ideology were evolving.

The previously uncivilized civilization is blooming brilliantly thanks to the [Knowledge] Brought from Earth.

“Yes. “All knowledge has been transferred to the training center.”

“Okay. “You’ve had a hard time.”

“Yes?”

Lesha looked up to see her mother and clan queen sitting on her throne.

This is because I know very well that she is a mother who has never said that she has had a hard time.

Queen Engishia rises from her throne and comes down her steps.

To her daughter.

“The Lord’s word has arrived.”

“Yes?”

“As you know, the Lord always speaks only for the benefit of the clan.”

“That… Yes?”

The main lord’s words, which only the royal family could hear, were delivered even before the summoning began.

“But this time you said something different. Thanks to that, I had enough time to organize my thoughts.”

“Heart… Clean up?”

Hearing her meaningful stories, Lesha looks at her mother with a bewildered expression.

Her mother’s expression, which she saw for the first time in her life, contained her calm sadness.

“Oh my… ?”

Engisia stood in front of Lesha.

She then tucks Lesha’s hair behind her ear with her warm touch.

“Everyone heard. “The things that happened on Earth.”

“Yes… ?”

“Han Tae-jin, he’s a pretty cool guy.”

“Uh, oh my… ?”

“I used to be like that too. “A summoned beast that loved its summoner, although it ended in regret.”

Lesha was unable to give a proper answer to her mother, who was pouring out incomprehensible words to her.

One thing was clear, the future she saw at the Tower of Trials was likely to be different.

“You are definitely my daughter. “Seeing him walk the same path as his mother.”

Engisia lightly holds both of Lesha’s hands and strokes the back of her hand with her thumb.

“I had no choice but to choose regret for the prosperity of my clan, but you don’t have to.”

“Oh my….”

Moisture forms in Lesha’s big eyes.

Only now did her mother’s words begin to make sense.

While she was away, her mother, who was putting her mind in order, was preparing to break up.

Like Lesha, Engisia glances at her daughter with moist eyes.

Knowing that this decision was her last, even if this decision would give rise to another regret, Engisia silently hugged her daughter, hoping that she would not struggle in the same sorrow as herself.

“You have worked hard for your family. The Lord will probably grant your wish to praise you for your merits. “If the Lord has given permission, how can this mother hold on to you?”

In order to hide her sadness, Engisia calmly recited as if it was obvious.

She knows that the longer a breakup lasts, the greater the pain, so she doesn’t want to dwell on her lingering regrets, but unlike her heart, her mouth trembles.

“There is just something you need to know. All of her abilities as a succubus will disappear and she will become an ordinary human. Life expectancy is also reduced. “Are you okay?”

It seemed like she would cry if she opened her mouth, so Lesha nodded her head, swallowing her tears.

“Okay. “After all, she is my daughter.”

“Huh…. Mom….”

But the tears she had been holding back finally burst out.

The water droplets around her eyes flow down her cheeks and wet her mother’s shoulders.

Engisia began stroking her daughter’s back one last time.

“You must be happy. “My daughter.”

“Huh…. Mom, I’m sorry….”

“No. I just hope you don’t feel the same sadness as me. Leave your family to me and leave. “That’s all this mother can do.”

“Huh… Ugh… !”

Even though her daughter wants to leave her arms, Engissia silently says goodbye.

However, the tears she could not hide began to wet Lesha’s shoulders.

“Don’t cry.”

“Huh… Mom, Mom….”

Engisia released her embrace and wiped away her daughter’s tears.

Hoping her own tears would just dry up.

“Did she think of reuniting with that guy with her eyes swollen? Stop crying. Anyone who sees her will know that she is going to die.”

Tears hang at the corners of my mouth that I forcefully raise.

Even though she had made up her mind and prepared for her separation, she was the first and last to realize that her grief over leaving her daughter was something she could not dare to stop.

“Huh… thank you… mom….”

“No. “It’s enough for you to be happy.”

The two look at each other affectionately.

Then, Lesha kneels down on her thighs and bows with her body prostrate.

It was a farewell to a human being, not to the succubus clan.

Tears are flowing like a dry waterfall between my tightly closed eyes.

“Goodbye…” . “My daughter.”

ㅡWoe evil….

After a while, at the place where Lesha bowed, only her golden light streamed down like fallen leaves on an autumn day.
