I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 288
288 – Backstage #2
288 – Backstage # 2
Enio Blackstar is a girl who smiles easily.
However, those who know her know well that beneath her her bright smile lurks a darkness like the cold depths of the sea.
I know it well.
That’s why the fake smile never disappears from your mouth.
It’s difficult to smile sincerely.
Because acting out her laughter was an easy task for her.
“…”
However, for the past few days, the girl Enio has been pushed to the limit of her emotions to the point where she can’t even fake a smile.
Maybe that’s why she was able to calm down.
It was thanks to him that she was able to focus on her goal of chasing the traitor and finding the crown.
“But, the road was cut off.”
Enio chased after the shadow she had planted.
However, the path to the temple, which was shattered by a volcanic eruption and the dragon’s anger, was already so destroyed and cut off that it could not be helped by human power, so it was impossible to follow.
“Maybe they broke the road on purpose. “He knew we would come after him.”
It’s just a guess.
Not sure.
What was certain in this situation was that Enio’s unexpressed emotions were once again swirling inside him like a whirlpool.
“What should I do?”
Enio was not calm.
She just doesn’t know how to express it.
In that sense, she was jealous of Victorica, who could freely cry and get angry and vent her emotions outward.
Enio, unable to vent her emotions outward, now sinks inside her.
Her own feelings.
Inside the deep darkness.
There is darkness lurking there.
It’s small, but the darkness is blacker than anything else.
That said.
“He’s dead.”
It was a voice that I had been ignoring at some point.
He said he wouldn’t listen to him anymore.
Enio decided to ask the darkness.
“You said you could bring a dead person back to life. “You said you could give me my brother back.”
“That’s right.”
“Save Victor.”
On the way back to the academy after failing to chase down the traitor.
Enio wanted to make a deal with the darkness inside himself.
I knew it was a dangerous thing.
I thought it was a gamble worth taking.
But the darkness spoke coldly.
“Actually, strictly speaking, dead things cannot come back to life. Because that’s the rule. However, through necromancy, it may be possible to create something ‘similar to’ what originally existed. “If there is a body.”
“What if there is a body?”
“Okay. But can you really say that this is the Victor you hoped for? He might be completely different from the man you knew. He will regret it.”
Darkness is cunning.
“Hey, try to think about it carefully. If the funeral is over and the body is burned, the opportunity is gone. I will always be deep in your heart.”
He cleverly mixes lies and truth to deceive people.
It was still like that.
Enio knew it well, but he couldn’t help but feel shaken.
While the funeral is in progress.
Enio was worried about many things.
Then, I come to a conclusion.
It was when everyone had left the funeral home and opened the coffin.
“…”
What was inside was not a burned body, but a doll made of cotton.
A sound of laughter is heard.
“It looks like someone hit the player.”
“Shut up.”
After dismissing his inner voice, Enio went to the principal’s office.
Then he asked about the whole incident.
“Enio, it is as you said. Victor’s body was stolen. It’s gone. “For now, the funeral was held according to regulations.”
“…”
“However, if this becomes known, the whole Ludens will be thrown into chaos. It’s like pouring fuel on a situation that has just begun to calm down.”
“Who.”
“…”
“Don’t you know who stole it?”
Principal Midas opened the drawer.
Then he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
From noble mtl dot come
There was no fire.
“I do not know. But, you will find it soon. “I promise that I will do everything in my power to retrieve the remains.”
“…”
“I heard it too. Victor’s story. Even if I were there, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. Indeed, he was a student worthy of being called a hero.”
The stories of heroes are completed with death.
Victor fell heroically, and with it he became a shining star forever.
If there is a villain who wants to use the remains of such a person to play pranks, if there is someone who wants to desecrate the end of the story.
Midas is only doing his duty as the principal of Ludens, an academy that trains heroes.
This is the story up until Enio goes to the treatment room.
In front of Enio, there was a nun locked in an iron cage.
She was a woman who just trembled in the corner with a white face.
“Sister Therese.”
Even though her name was called, the woman was just as afraid as a rat in cold water.
This is what a person with a broken heart is like.
Victorica calmly asked again.
“Sister Therese, we must chase down the heretics of the Genesis Church. You would know where that Nochio guy is. “I want you to tell me.”
“…”
“Victoria, get out of the way. Because I will do it.”
Enio stretched out his hand.
A shadow spreads out and binds Sister Therese’s arms and legs.
Woe!
Bang!
“Yeah!”
Therese was pulled by a strong force and hit the iron bars.
Enio asks Therese, who is bleeding from the nose.
“For every question you don’t answer, I’ll break a bone.”
* * *
Near the central shopping street of Ludens.
There was a magnificent building made of an exquisite mixture of concrete and marble.
Beautiful garden.
After passing through the corridor where the statues of gods were placed, a chapel appeared with an impressive cross-shaped window letting in sunlight.
A place where people’s hearts are humbled.
There, a priest with neatly slicked-back gray hair was watering a small flower pot placed by the window.
Jeopuk.
At that time, the priest turned his head at the sound of footsteps coming from the entrance.
Then he slightly bowed his head and said.
“Today is a day without worship. However, I don’t think you came here for counseling about faith.”
They were people who gave off a sinister atmosphere.
Priest Thor Neo took a calm breath and added his words to his.
“I knew this day would come someday. Are you here to arrest Torneo? “I will not resist.”
It was Torneo who quietly extended his hand towards the student council president.
Next to him is Representative Enio.
There was also a woman who covered her face with a white robe.
I don’t know its identity her, but it is clearly something unusual.
If these great people came to see you, there is only one reason.
The only thing left to do is for Torneo’s true identity to be revealed and he will be arrested.
Student council president Victorica lightly opened her lips.
“Are you Priest Torneo?”
“Yes.”
“I heard you are a member of the Church of Genesis. It’s better not to think about showing off. “I heard it all from someone I trust.”
“I have no intention of turning away.”
“Then tell me where the Genesis Church people are. “I will arrest you and decide after that.”
“It is a group of Genesis Church…”
Torneo was lost in thought for a moment.
Pagans who believe in a god that does not exist.
In fact, there were many things Torneo did not know about their names and identities.
Because we weren’t interested in each other in the first place.
“They are like the wind. It means that it does not stay in one place, but exists everywhere. “I don’t know any more details than that.”
“Don’t lie.”
Enio said coldly.
Torneo also knew the details of the important people in Ludens, but she was a cooler girl than I had heard.
Torneo just shrugs.
“There is no reason to lie in this situation. It’s been a long time since I was even a member of the Genesis Church in the first place. “Thanks to Victor, I was able to enlighten my foolish eyes.”
“Do you know Victor?”
Enio’s attitude seemed to have relaxed a little.
“I know. And that the boy died.”
Torneo recently participated in a funeral held on a heavily rainy day.
It was a big funeral.
“The girls are looking for a group of heretics after the funeral. Maybe something bad is happening. “This is all I can give you.”
Zech.
Thor Neo took out the rosary from his pocket.
It was the sign of the Church of Genesis made by adding an X to the sign of the cross to resemble a star.
“It will shine when the time comes. If you follow that light, you might be able to get what you want.”
* * *
Victorica asked, looking at the heretical symbol in her hand.
“Can I trust it? Could it be that Priest Torneo was a member of the Church of Genesis? “I had no idea until now.”
Wouldn’t it have been right to arrest him?
However, the group decided to wait and see the situation for now.
Above all─.
“—Victor didn’t hand it over to the student council. It must have meant something. Perhaps, Victor was expecting us to visit him like we did today.”
Victorica wanted to think so.
Everything had Victor’s will.
When I thought about it that way, I felt like I was with him and I felt a little less lonely.
But.
As expected, walking through Ludens was a bit difficult.
No matter where I looked, the moments I walked with Victor came to mind.
It breaks my heart that now I can’t find him anywhere on this street.
“Victoria, where are you going?”
Enio asked Victorica, who was walking away.
In response to that, Victorica simply says, “Club room.”
Victoria was thinking of going to the club room.
She hasn’t been able to find it yet.
When she headed there, she felt like it wouldn’t be acceptable for there to be no man who would answer her with, “Are you here?”
But.
Talking with Torneona Therese today, Victorica felt something about her.
“Maybe Victor has known for a long time that he might die someday.”
There were many things that matched in many ways.
Breaking off the engagement with oneself.
Even what he told me about the danger of Cain and Arclight.
“I didn’t know how, but I knew it would happen.”
Victor is a stricter guy than you can imagine.
He may have left behind evidence or traces that could help him deal with the issues he had left behind even after his death.
So, Victorica decided to go find her club room.
If there is a trace, it is most likely to remain there.
Before that, ask first.
“Enio, do you want to go too? “You know better the structure of the club room.”
“…”
Enio hesitated for a moment.
She said she used to participate in club activities with Victor.
We spent time together in the kitchen, cooking food and playing various games.
That old but narrow warehouse.
He gave me the key to that place in the first place.
‘It all started with the key I gave you.’
But.
I didn’t want to go there now.
‘If I hadn’t given you the key… If you hadn’t given me Tyrving…’
Although no one blames it that way.
When I headed to the club room, it felt like everything I had suppressed would burst out.
“… “I don’t want to go back to the club room until I find Yumi and pay her her debt her her her back her.”
Looking for Yumi.
Surely, there must be traces of his whereabouts and traces of him left somewhere in Ludens. Enio decided to chase after it.
“I will find you and make you feel the same pain. Otherwise, it doesn’t fit the bill.”
“I am.”
At that time, the big Victorica opened her mouth.
“I will move independently. I don’t know if it’s because of my mood. Perhaps… , I am in this place. And it feels like many things are tied together and intertwined.”
“Then, everyone just needs to act individually.”
Student council president Victorica lightly settled the situation.
That day, it was the first time I was alone since the incident.
I was a little anxious, but decided to persevere.
“Then, we will join you at this location later.”
Victorica waved her hand to everyone.
As I watched their faces disappear, I suddenly felt how helpful it was to be a ‘colleague’ who was going through the same difficulties.
“I feel camaraderie with Enio.”
Victorica continued her steps, calming her somewhat empty mind.
More and more familiar streets appear.
Victorica’s steps also become slower.
Her heart was pounding.
Her vision becomes increasingly blurry.
“…”
Pair.
After clapping her face, Victorica finally came to her senses and arrived at her club room, which was filled with old warehouses.
There were flowers and notes that seemed to have already been left there by many students.
「I will remember you.」
「I hope you rest in peace.」
She struggles to look away from the phrases.
Just like that, Victoria held her hand at the door of her club.
Rustling.
I soon felt like I was popular in the club room.
“No way, Victor, you—.”
Victorica was very excited.
I wonder if Victor, who disappeared, is back.
I thought it might have come back in a strange way like ‘penetrating the wall.’
Ki Ik.
But when I opened the door.
What was inside was pink hair.
“Rain, Victoria…”
“It’s Nike.”
Nike.
He is Victor’s club startup partner.
“What are you doing here?”
“I just… ” .”
Nike seemed embarrassed in many ways.
In Victorica’s opinion, it was clear that Nike had feelings for Victor.
Having lost Victor, Nike is bound to be shocked in many ways.
Then suddenly.
I remembered that there was a record of Nike’s visit to the place where Victor was buried.
‘Maybe I know what happened to Victor. This might be a bit of a hint…’
So I asked.
“Nike, are you Victor?”
“I-I don’t know anything… ” ! I’m busy so… “Enough!”
Swish.
With that, Nike left the club room.
“…”
Victoria’s eyes become cold.
“… Yes, you’ve been really bad at lying ever since.”
