I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 304



304 – The End of Childhood #2

304 – End of Childhood #2

The moment when everyone’s attention is focused.

It was the perfect time to announce to the world that I was alive.

“I am not dead.”

In fact, he died and came back to life.

I’m just going to push it by saying that I didn’t die from the beginning.

I don’t think I can handle the chaos that will follow if I spread the story of what happened in the Pantheon.

“… “It’s Avon.”

Swordmaster Dane, one of the three knights, muttered quietly.

Then I ask.

“Why was there a need to fake death?”

“Because I had an enemy. To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your allies. But now that I have the crown, there is no need for that anymore.”

Zech.

I held a shining crown in my hand.

And then he said.

“We got the crown. This means that I can at least have some say in what is happening in Ludens and the Kingdom.”

The reason I got the crown.

My purpose has always been firm.

“First of all, we will stop the war between the great families that is taking place on the mainland. There is also a dispute going on between the Seonghwangcheong and the Arkwright family.”

Prevent war.

“Cain of the Arclight family, and the Pope of the Holy Imperial Palace. The Duke of Black Star. Even the counts of the De Winter family, who are gathering troops in the City of Flowers, will all cease their actions under this crown.”

The most urgent priority was to prevent innocent civilians from becoming victims of a war that was caused by variables I brought about. If it weren’t for that, there wouldn’t have been a need to rush the schedule like this.

It was then.

Someone laughed.

It was as if I had heard an interesting story.

Agni, a female witch in a red dress.

“A person thought to be dead and comes back alive? Yeah, well, let’s say that’s possible. But you want to prevent war? “Child, the world is not as easy as it is in fairy tales.”

“…”

“Getting the crown does not mean you will immediately become king. “Because only those who have proven their ‘qualifications’ according to the laws handed down from generation to generation to our Royal Guard will become the true owners of the throne.”

Agni’s words ended calmly.

Soon, the people listening to her voice through the speakers were very excited.

“Wasn’t finding the crown itself a test of qualifications?”

“Was there such a law?”

“I don’t know. “This is the first time anyone has found the crown.”

People were confused.

Of course, I knew it would happen like this.

Obtaining the crown did not immediately make me king.

You have to go through something called qualifications.

The method of proof was simple.

“All you have to do is choose one of the three Royal Guards and win the duel.”

“That’s right. Are you familiar with this old-fashioned law? It’s a rule known only to us Royal Guards. Who spread it?”

Suk suk.

It was Agni looking around his head

“But, well, okay. For the first time in hundreds of years, the owner of the crown has finally emerged. No one wants to be disliked by a new king who may be born, right? The war will soon stop.”

“Then that’s it.”

All you have to do is delay it a little more.

If you delay it a little further, delay it a little further, someday it will be delayed forever.

Agni said.

“Good. Then this afternoon. “I will hold the succession ceremony according to old laws.”

Is the fight with the Three Knights this afternoon?

It wasn’t bad.

The faster the time, the better.

The Three Knights are a difficult opponent.

However, if you know the strategy, you can somehow win.

It was with that feeling that the morning event was about to end.

“Everyone is talking lukewarm about the king and the crown. Power is strength. “Only overwhelming power controls everything.”

Someone appeared among the people.

He was a man with gray hair.

The upright posture, like a nail driven vertically, is impressive.

“… Cain!”

Victorica roared.

A tense tension weighs heavily on a stadium filled with tens of thousands of people.

I was also nervous.

I knew Cain was in Ludens, but I didn’t know he would invade at this time.

My stomach is tingling.

“…”

“…”

Enio and Nike both remained silent.

A very nervous expression was evident.

Cain leisurely climbed up onto the stage, looked at Victorica and said, “You call me father now,” She snorted.

At his appearance, the three knights of the royal family stood up.

And then each shows the light of the border.

From noble mtl dot come

The first to speak was Sword Master Dane.

“Are you Cain Arkwright? I’ve heard the news, but this is my first time seeing you like this. Kain, the Star of the Sword, it is an honor to meet you. But, that’s rude.”

Dane openly showed his hostility.

“You are a descendant of the royal family and have been given the title of duke, but this is an event hosted by the royal family. “Invading and acting arbitrarily is unacceptable.”

Royal event.

Since an uninvited person suddenly appears there and disrupts the place, those who are supposed to follow the law have no choice but to be wary.

But.

Cain was a man who never bowed his head in front of anyone.

“You’re the one who’s rude, kid. “Whose permission do you dare to open your mouth?”

“… As I heard, your arrogance is sky-high, Cain. Just because you cut down a few kids, you are considered a swordsman, so you boast about how high you are in the sky!”

Sreuk.

The eyes behind the glasses become more fierce.

That was when Dane put his hand on the sword at his waist.

“… Ugh.”

Dane, who made a strange noise, fell down.

Pot-.

After he falls to the floor, a large amount of blood stains the floor, as if a wine bottle had been broken.

Wow.

“… What the hell…”

“…”

Cain just looked down impassively at Dane, who slowly closed his eyes.

It was a look in his eyes that he even felt slightly annoying and tired.

Gaaa!

People begin to scream at the bloodshed, and the wizard Agni and the dragon knight Drago stand up and shout.

“Hey, Dane!”

“Cain Arkwright. “You are making a big mistake.”

Agni and Drago shouted as loudly as they could and each rushed towards Cain.

However, Cain leisurely drew his sword and passed by their bodies.

Lightly.

It was when a small wind blew that tickled the tip of my nose.

“One meal.”

Wow-.

Royal knights falling down with blood spurting from their chests and stomachs.

Cain sneered slightly as he watched them cover their bodies with their palms to stop the blood leaking out.

“I was planning to kill him right away, but I guess I was a little shallow. Is he truly worthy of being a knight of the royal family? But, you are still not enough.”

Father Gyu-hwan.

Cain proudly reigned over this scene of terrible slaughter.

After holding the crown, he sat down with his legs crossed on the chair where the royal guards were sitting.

Zech.

Cain placed the crown on his lap

He looked at me with his golden eyes flashing.

“Now even you fools understand. It is impossible to become king without surpassing myself.”

He now looked around.

People starting to run away, people who are scared are reflected in his eyes.

“The world is not ruled by shiny crowns, jewels, or accessories. Only a strong force decides everything. This world is made that way. That’s the only rule.”

“…”

“Therefore, I will be in charge of this. Challenge me Anyone in this room. Anytime.”

Challenge anyone.

Even though I said that, no one here dared to attack Cain.

It was the same for the current Nana Nike, Victorica and Enio.

* * *

“Cain Arkwright breaks into the succession ceremony and usurps the crown… !」

“Ludence’s future is… ?」

“Royal Guards, hospitalized at Ludens with serious injuries… 」

Afternoon.

The newspaper article was busy talking about the event that took place in the morning.

Club room.

Nike’s emerald eyes, which were quietly looking at the newspaper article, become increasingly serious.

“Really…”

Nike’s round eyes soon curved like a crescent moon and she smiled.

“It really went as planned!”

Nike seemed happy.

Soon Enio let out a deep sigh.

“… I really thought something would happen. Cutting down the royal knights. Cain, I didn’t think you were an ordinary person, but you are really reckless.”

Is it even enough for Enio to take off his crane

But Victoria’s opinion was different.

“Because I am a person who hates being under others more than anything.”

It’s just as Victoria said.

A noisy succession ceremony to the throne.

Since Cain was at Ludens, it was natural for him to attend.

But that wasn’t enough.

I provoked Cain in the name of stopping the war.

Cain fell for the provocation and intervened in the succession ceremony.

“Now it will be the most reliable and sturdy storage box in the world.”

In D&A’s story, once you have the crown, enemies start coming at you from all directions.

It may be a game, but dealing with people like that in real life is sure to be tiring and a pain in the ass.

However, if the crown were in Cain’s hands, how many people would be able to take it away?

“If there’s a variable, it’s Yumi.”

No matter how variable Yumi was in many ways, it was clear that it would be difficult in many ways to immediately obtain the crown from Duke Cain’s hands.

Because he was unable to deal with Fairybane and the royal guardian, so he ran away.

They wouldn’t even dare to attack Cain, who is stronger than both of them combined.

Even if you come up with a ‘strategy’, it will take quite some time from preparation to execution.

“Therefore, Cain is the perfect safe for storing the crown we obtained for the time being.”

I feel a bit sorry for the Royal Guards who were injured by Cain.

To be honest, everything went so well as planned that I was completely relaxed.

However, Enio seemed a little worried.

“But what if Cain becomes the owner of the throne? What will he do when he becomes king? “Isn’t that like giving a weapon to someone who should not have the crown?”

“No. That won’t happen.”

“That won’t happen.”

Victorica and I answered at the same time.

In particular, Victorica said, “That man is not interested in things like thrones.” “The only thing he cares about is himself,” She added.

It’s just as Victoria said.

Cain was not interested in things like kings or thrones.

Because he is an arrogant man.

Even if there is no such thing, he is a person who lives freely in the world.

“Anyway, even the Holy Emperor will not be able to move carelessly as long as Cain holds the crown in his hands. Even the De Winter family in the west won’t be able to move carelessly.”

Although he did not succeed to the throne in a legitimate way, the owner of the crown became Cain.

The world is not crazy enough to hastily start a war with such a person.

At least for the time being.

“With this, the war will be blocked for now. But we can’t continue to leave the crown in Cain’s hands like this. Therefore, we must do our best this second semester.”

Second semester.

A period when what can be called power balance rises rapidly.

Not only did the enemies become stronger, but it was the perfect time for us to become stronger as well.

Immediately Enio starts laughing.

“Anyway, that’s true. You’re using the scary Duke Cain as a storage box. No one else than Victor would have thought like that. Even thinking about it again, it’s surprising and funny.”

That’s what I think.

To be honest, I’m still a bit surprised that everything went according to plan.

I don’t know if things will go as planned in the future.

“I will defeat Cain from now on.”

I showed my determination.

Then, Nike holds out his hand from the side of her.

“We will take it down together!”

Zech.

Victorica also reached out her hand and placed it on the back of Nike’s hand.

“Now that it’s like this, let’s go to the end.”

Zech.

Finally, Enio places his hand.

“It’s going to be more fun now.”

Everyone was full of enthusiasm.

I also placed my hand on the back of their hand.

* * *

Dark room.

A man was sitting on an old sofa in a small room.

Grrr.

Cain Arkwright, a man pouring a glass of dark, strong wine.

He poured the strong drink into his mouth with a light movement.

Of course I don’t get drunk.

He looked around carefully with consciousness becoming clearer than ever.

Clothes hanging on a hanger.

And a crown that looks like a round band.

“That’s funny.”

People can barely move around on a piece of metal like that.

Cain leaned back on the old, smelly sofa.

Soon, a clicking sound is heard.

“The door is not locked.”

Cain placed her hand on the scabbard that was placed on her lap.

Giik-opening door.

Cain opened his narrow eyes at her silver hair, which soon revealed her appearance.

“Victorica.”

“Father.”

“… No, you are not Victorica.”

She had the same appearance.

However, she is somehow different from her own daughter.

Her vibe her is different and her appearance her her seems a little different.

Is he a little taller?

Such a being entered Cain’s room.

And then he speaks lightly.

“A room filled with a sofa and a bed. “It’s a cheap room where you wouldn’t expect the great Duke of Arclight to reside.”

“It is useless to have a large and wide sheath. The narrow and stuffy level is just right. It is the basis of the Arkwright family. “The one who falls less.”

“You’re the one who falls short.” I knew you would say that, but Rather, that wine is the Black Holy Grail, right? A drink that my mother loved.”

“…”

Grrr.

Victorica poured her wine into an empty glass.

Cain frowned at her.

“If you want to drink alcohol, you must reach the age of majority.”

“You’ve already figured out that I’m an adult. It’s been a long time since Coming of Age Day in the second semester.”

Victorica took a sip of wine.

She then frowned.

“Ugh, use it.”

“… It’s still a struggle.”

“Maybe so.”

“…”

Cain and Victorica were speechless.

The two father and daughter had not spoken to each other except in public since a very long time ago.

At that time, it was Victorica who spoke first.

“Aren’t you curious? How did it happen? Who am I and why did I come here? What is happening. “What will happen in the future?”

“I’m not interested.”

“But, you might be interested in Viktor. How that guy came back from the dead.”

“…”

Cain shut her mouth.

What comes before his eyes is a long time ago.

The day when one of Cain’s eyes lost its light.

That day, Cain defeated his best and strongest enemy

And she also met her little boy that she brought with him.

‘He was the one who didn’t even flinch even when her own father died. He was a guy who didn’t even shed a tear. He was a little creepy.’

Maybe it was a survival instinct.

He said that if he cried, the man who killed his father would kill him too.

I think I realized it when I was only about five years old.

“This guy has a greater thirst for life than anyone else. “He is the one who will struggle more than anyone else to escape his fate.”

“So you brought me here.” To the Arkwright family.”

“It was just a whim.”

“… But, if it was really just a whim, why did you want to pass on the family name to Viktor? “Not an orca?”

“…”

“Because you can’t forget Victor’s mother, Rose?”

Cain closed her eyes.

Then she added a few words.

“I guess I’m drunk too. She is a daughter from another world. She mumbled to herself when she saw something that didn’t exist. I’m going to sleep now. Scram. If I close and open my eyes, a mirage like you will disappear.”

“…”

Victorica just quietly looked at the man with his eyes closed.

She then slowly left her room her.

As she left her old inn, Victorica looked back again.

A crumbling old building.

The man liked this place to a sword sheath, but in Victoria’s opinion, it was closer to a coffin than a sword sheath.

“If we had talked like this on a regular basis, things might have been different in many ways.”

There is only a bitter taste in my mouth.

Things like alcohol didn’t taste good no matter how much time passed.

But I finally felt like I had finally become an adult.

It will soon be the second semester.

A time when childhood is over and everyone has to become an adult.

As she walked down the alley late at night with that thought in mind, several people blocked Victorica’s path. Because it was a dark and narrow alley, her appearance was difficult to see.

“Are you Victoria Arcright? Isn’t it?”

“I think that’s right. It looked a little different from the photo in the newspaper. Basically, what women see during the day and what they see at night are different. Is it because of the makeup?”

“That’s right. That’s right! Even though her face is covered by a robe, you can feel it when you look at her. A beauty like that is rare even on Ludens Island.”

“See, you said that if you hide where the Duke is, he will definitely pass by, right?”

‘Who is it?’

Turn on Mana Shield.

Are they a bunch of third-rate thugs?

‘Did you pull out a dagger?’

There is no need to be nervous.

Their blades will never touch Victorica’s body

“Who are you?”

Victoria asked calmly and unfolded her magic technique.

Soon, laughing bullies.

“Who are we? What were we doing? Okay. It’s ‘Extras.’”

“What? “Who are you?”

Sereung.

Puuk-.

Something sharp and hot sticks into Victorica’s stomach.

It was like a cold flame.

Something as cold as ice, yet hot as a flame, digs into my stomach.

“… !”

Not even a scream comes out.

The dagger of a single delinquent penetrates his battle-honed mana shield.

“Hey, it’s true. Because of this “Magic Jammer,” The great wizard Nari can’t even use his hands. This is really awesome stuff. How do you think of making something like this?”

“You idiot! What if you stab me because I have to use you as a hostage? You’re going to die!”

“Are you okay. All Ludens students are superhuman. “I won’t die like this.”

“But we stabbed the duke’s daughter. It’s awesome! We won! I’m sure this guy boasted that he was a nobleman and a student of Ludens, right? It looks good! “Did you think we would remain bridesmaids forever!?”

The voice is fading.

Victorica could not come to her senses as her eyes darkened.

‘Poison… ?’

I’m not sure.

The only thing that is certain is that we cannot be caught by them right here.

“Gwangtan!”

Victorica stretched out her hand and attacked the area where her voice was heard.

Pabababat-.

A bullet of light striking the bricks of an old alley.

From noble mtl dot come

“Even after getting stabbed in the vital spot, what kind of monster is that!?”

“Let’s take it out first!”

“I stabbed my stomach with a knife, so I’m sure I’ll get tired quickly!”

Victorica fell to her floor as she heard the voice getting farther and farther away.

Whisk.

I feel the life force leaving my body along with the blood.

‘… ‘I die.’

I got stabbed in the stomach with a cold blade.

Suddenly, Victorica was able to feel her former fiancé’s feelings only now.

The lonely, desolate feeling of death.

‘… This is death.’

Victorica, who felt as if she was slowly sinking into the deep sea, suddenly came to her senses.

“Extras… I just have to let you know…”

This is an unfamiliar organization whose name she has never heard of.

Strange skills.

It is clear that it will be a danger to everyone’s future.

“… Victor…”

Clink.

I hear the sound of something breaking.

「Accessory: Thetis’ Ring is consumed.」
