I Became the Crazy Instructor at the Academy - Chapter 121



121. Firecrackers, Perfume, You

I have seen Scarlett’s weak side

A bad relationship in a back alley. When she had a three-way confrontation with the cleric, she kicked me and cried, feeling betrayed.

But, she is now.

She was shedding tears with a different resolution than before.

From noble mtl dot come

“…”

If I hadn’t come,

How long will the tears last?

When that thought occurred to me, the desire to question disappeared.

I didn’t even want to argue.

Just sit next to him,

I waited for her to gather her words.

How long has it been like that?

Tak!

A cheerful sound that did not fit the atmosphere was heard.

Looking next to her, Scarlett was holding a small bottle of perfume in her hand.

It was the same as what I received.

A few drops of that perfume dripped onto her wrist,

She opens her mouth

“Sometimes I dream.”

“…”

“A happy childhood. And the dream of everything being engulfed in fire and collapsing.”

The deeply embedded memories,

Even when his eyes are closed, he torments his master

Whether she, the subject, wants it,

Whether you want it or not.

“I don’t know if I will remember.”

“…What?”

“When I was dispatched to a place called Semen. We talked like this on the rooftop back then too.”

Of course I remember.

I encouraged Scarlett who was experiencing burnout.

“There’s something I couldn’t tell you back then.”

“Can you do it now?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Although she decided to stick to her listener’s position,

This was a necessary question.

What I wanted to say at that time.

However, there is something I couldn’t say.

What is different about her now?

Can she laugh while crying?

“Actually… If you compare then and now, nothing has changed.”

“…”

Although they say there is no difference,

Scarlett’s eyes looked somewhat relieved as she looked at the stars with her head raised.

Like someone who has made a big decision.

“Instructor.”

“Please speak.”

“At that time, in that fire. Did I tell you there was a boy who saved me?”

“No.”

I never said it.

But, I knew.

I confirmed it through documents,

Now that I know the cause and effect between them.

That boy is Ivan.

And, probably Scarlett.

“I wish that boy… Was you.”

You must have swallowed these words endlessly.

Even on the rooftop of Semen and in the alcove of her back alley.

And then she finally said it out loud.

Without any tricks, tricks, or puns.

I asked a question, relying on the conscience of a person who might just be a family enemy.

Therefore, I have an obligation to answer.

Honest and without lies.

“That’s right.”

“…”

Scarlett grabbed my right hand.

And then she very carefully took off her gloves.

The stigma was revealed.

The stigma has grown so strong that it cannot be compared to when I was first possessed.

Stigma.

The Blaise family and the Kherson family clashed to claim the brand that Arka would give them.

It’s a guess, but it was probably Arca’s entertainment.

He must have tempted the two families by offering to bestow a stigma on the surviving one.

The Blaze family was outstanding,

I had no intention of rejecting the temptation of the evil spirit,

I had the ambition to bet the entire family.

Cain has already become the owner of the stigma.

It was impossible to defeat the Kherson family he was in.

Just like that, a family disappeared into history,

Ivan became the owner of the stigma that day.

…Perhaps, if the Blaze family had won then.

That stigma is Scarlett’s father or mother. Or, it may have been engraved on Scarlett herself.

Did Ivan at that time know that this would happen and try to stop it?

Or was he just blindsided by his older brother’s viciousness in trying to destroy a family, and jumped into the fire with the intention of saving at least one person?

Ivan’s personality has disappeared,

That will remain unknown forever.

“Is that why…It happened like this?”

“That’s also true.”

Scarlett doesn’t know about stigma.

There is no way to obtain the world’s greatest secret through any means.

Therefore, the thoughts she had as she looked at the black stain on my right hand.

I don’t know.

But, I couldn’t be curious.

“…”

Scarlett believes in me,

She shared her most important memories.

Even if I tell her lies and deceive her, there is no way for Scarlett to know.

Meaningless questions and answers.

Because she decided to leave her part of creating that meaning entirely to me.

Me too,

I didn’t want to delve into her every thought of her. It seemed like it had to be that way.

“I’ll just ask you three questions.”

“Is that okay?”

“If I were to lengthen it, it would stretch out endlessly, so I was just going to bury it. The words that the prisoner instructor said kept getting trampled on.”

Scarlett took my right hand,

He made eye contact with me.

“Why did you save me at the mansion back then?”

Ivan had to answer that question.

And now I knew Ivan’s answer.

“Because it had to be.”

The reason didn’t matter.

I’m just not the type of person to leave a child dying in front of my eyes.

Ivan at that time must have been that kind of person.

“…Why did you accept me as your disciple?”

As a gamer, I had to answer this.

“Because it was necessary.”

At that time, I couldn’t see Scarlett as a human being, and I just took action based on necessity.

Silly.

A child burning with revenge,

Hands held by a possessed person who wants to go home.

That was all.

“…Then. “Are you going to save me in the future?”

“Yes.”

“Why why? Why are you doing this?”

For the first question, Ivan said,

The second question was answered by my old self.

And, what stands in front of this last question.

I had to answer, not because I was a classmate or a gamer, but as someone who simply belongs to this world.

Just like that, I moved my mouth.

Even though I was completely disqualified as a gamer, I gave an answer that had nothing to say.

“Because I want to.”

I want to go home.

I want to clear the game.

I want to live.

Although I keep all those wishes,

Maybe that much.

I don’t want to see you die.

“…”

That’s what I can do now,

It was the most honest answer.

“I’m scared.”

“…”

“This life that you saved, led, and took back again and again. At first, I thought I was going to throw it away for revenge, but…”

Did my honesty work?

She also gave her most honest answer.

“Now, I don’t know anything.”

I don’t know.

Those words stuck deep.

“Huh.”

I laughed for a moment.

“…What. “What’s funny?”

“Excellent.”

“Huh?”

“It means your worries and your student-like wanderings. “You can only grow when you accept that.”

To be honest, I am not a proper adult either.

Her bones were not strong enough to confidently preach her theory of life.

But, for now.

To the girl in front of me,

I wanted to be a support.

“However, that life is too cruel to end with plausible words. So, let me tell you a little bit.”

“…”

“Live the way you want to live. Because no one wants to weigh that life.”

I believe in a person named Scarlett.

So, I knew that even if I said these words, she wouldn’t go astray.

And she,

This time, I passed the test with flying colors.

“…Then, I’ll give it back to you.”

“Yes?”

“As much as I have received from you. Just that much.”

Scarlett laughed.

She finally smiled brightly without tears.

“I will live for you.”

At the same time,

Fireworks exploded.

Boom!

Her and my head turned at the same time,

The night sky was colored with various colors.

“…The memorial service has ended.”

Pop! Boom!

Fireworks decorate the sky.

The bell rings incessantly, signaling the start of the most wonderful school dismissal time in Russell.

With that as the background,

I also answered quietly.

“Thank you.”

Although we have a deep connection with each other,

If only we devoted ourselves to each other just that much.

It will come to a good end.

I thought so.

“…”

Scarlett looked at me blankly.

Perhaps it was the light from the endlessly exploding firecrackers, but his cold cheeks seemed slightly flushed.

“…It’s because of fireworks.”

“Yes?”

Scarlett said that,

He grabbed the top of my shirt.

To put it crudely, I was grabbed by the collar.

And pulled.

To the extent that we are at the same eye level as each other.

She lowers her head

A creeping voice, uncharacteristic of Scarlett, could barely be heard.

“No, maybe it’s the perfume.”

“What…”

“…Not really. “It’s all wrong.”

I didn’t know.

The fear she had harbored until now.

Even now, we may not fully understand the person named Scarlet Rain.

So, I didn’t know either.

The reason she pulled my collar.

“It’s because of you.”

Straighten your bowed head,

The reason why she pulls me beyond her good intentions.

Until their lips lightly touch.

“…”

It was a playful kiss.

It was light enough to be considered a contact between two lips, and it was just as short.

But, it was still a kiss.

My lenses got bigger,

She didn’t push her away.

“…Ugh.”

Until she bit her own head off.

“…”

Awkward silence.

Thanks to the exploding fireworks, we both had a hard time getting the timing right.

In the end, the first thing that created the atmosphere was

It was Scarlett’s side

“Well, say something.”

If you want to appreciate Scarlett’s lips.

It was surprisingly soft.

Do you want me to say something?

“So… You called this a kiss?”

“Well, well. Why. What. Just touch your lips and that’s it.”

“Well. “I feel like I got into an accident while headbutting.”

I chuckled.

Of course, the reason is that Scarlett is cute, avoiding eye contact and grunting with a bright red face…

[Favorability updated!]

[Favorability updated!]

[Favorability updated!]

This Sangtaekhang guy who knows no time,

It was also because she cried loudly.

And, we finally reached it.

To the scene I saw a while ago.

[Favorability Update: Shin-ae]

It’s slightly different from Adela’s love,

I sensed that the woman in front of her was the greatest affection she could bear.

So, I gave it back.

She said as she applied the perfume she received from Miho to her wrist.

“Well… I didn’t think I would be good at it.”

“Wow, it really breaks the mood. What are you good at? Even when I look at people wrong, I am wrong for a long time-“

Scarlett couldn’t finish her sentence,

The kiss lasted a little longer.

From noble mtl dot come

“Ugh, ugh…”

Sprayed on different scents,

The scent of perfume has changed slightly.

Until well mixed.

—

Flames that decorate the sky.

In that wonderful night view,

Two men and women who melt into each other.

There was a pair of eyes watching it.

It’s a shame.

Behind their backs, in front of the entrance to the sparring hall rooftop.

The woman heard that her teacher was here, so she quietly opened the door with the intention of surprising him.

On my small hands, I had two cheap rings that I had been wearing all day thinking about him.

Tuk-

I dropped it.

They didn’t even hear this sound.

Two people focused on each other.

The priestly relationship returned to male and female.

And then, falling into the background…

Black saint’s clothes.

I was shaking.

“Instructor, sir…?”

Only talking to myself that no one can hear,

It marked the ‘true’ end of the festival.
