I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 320



320 – Memories From Long Ago #4

320 – Memories from long ago # 4

Victor answered.

She could never like Victorica when she was young.

The story was quite shocking.

So Victoria asked, trying to hide her embarrassment.

“Why? Why couldn’t I like her?”

“My father died by the hand of Cain. When I close my eyes, the memory is vivid. So I can tell. I am a dog. A dog picked up on a whim. A dog can never be humble with its owner.”

“…”

Victor’s expression was very serious, unbecoming of a 6-year-old boy.

“Although it is tied to the name of engagement. I might be abandoned or killed depending on my whim at any time. So she can’t fall in love with Victorica. Fortunately, she doesn’t seem to be interested in me that much either.”

Victorica had nothing to say.

She’s been thinking like this since she was young.

“As long as I carry the name of Arclight, I will never fall in love with you, Victorica. No matter how much you grow up to be a woman with breasts like an angel.”

“…”

For some reason, her heart was prickled.

I feel like she asked for no reason.

So when she was feeling a little regret, Victor said.

“But, Victorica. “I said you and I broke off our engagement.”

“Okay. “I heard you kicked me.”

“Then, that means I will end up being wrong.”

“What does that mean?”

Victorica asked.

But Victor shut her up.

She was still a person who liked silence.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to correct this habit while they are still young?’

Sigh.

Victorica pinched Victor’s side.

“Ugh.”

“I know that from now on, whenever you are silent for no reason, you will be criticized. It is still polite to give an answer when someone asks a question. Do you understand?”

“…”

“Again?”

Zech.

Little Victor covered his side as Victorica raised her fingers in a pincer shape.

“… I get it. “You grew up to be more violent than the kid I knew.”

“Who made me like this? It’s you, you.”

In that way, she arrived at the club room, half joking and half serious.

I lie down on a blanket with little Victor.

Perhaps because I had just taken a bath, the soft and cool feel of the blanket was very nice.

Like that, Victoria slowly closed her eyes.

Soon, a long-ago memory slowly appeared before Victorica’s eyes

When she was a child when she first met Victor.

It was quite messy.

I was frowning too.

But her black eyes sparkled like obsidian.

‘She said I was harsh or something, but she was even worse.’

It was a memory she had forgotten for a long time.

Now the light has faded and I can’t even remember it.

That’s probably what the past is like.

Will what happened today turn out like that?

Victor said that in 10 days he will become an adult.

If you are Victor, 10 days from now, you might recall today’s events like memories from your childhood.

Thinking like that, I thought it would be good to make many good memories for Victor now that he is still young.

‘Tomorrow, let’s take Victor for a walk in the park with the kids. As many good memories and experiences arise, 18-year-old Viktor becomes a little more…’

With that thought in mind, I slowly close my eyes.

Soon Victoria felt something touching her blanket.

‘Is it Victor?’

Victor touched his blanket her.

‘Do you want to act like a fool? The words were adult-like, but he was still a child. ‘Maybe it’s scary to sleep alone.’

Passchuk.

The warmth of Victor snuggling under the blanket on an autumn night was quite warm.

It smelled nice and soft, like a child who had just come out of a bath, so it wasn’t a bad feeling.

Come to think of it, he felt like he had smelled something like this before.

When was that time?

It was when Victor knocked on his door late at night.

Barrrr.

As he was recalling that memory, Victor, who was in his arms, began to tremble violently.

Barrrr.

Barrrr.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

Victorica woke her from her slumber.

Because it felt like it wasn’t normal for Victor to be shaking.

Zech.

When he lifted his head, he saw a very pale face.

Body temperature is also low.

“Hey! “What’s wrong?”

“People—. People are dying randomly─.”

“What happened? People what? Dream? “Did you just have a nightmare!?”

“People die. In the well. I keep dying in the well. And the end is 17… I need to find 17. Otherwise, everyone dies… We’re all going to die.”

“… !”

Victorica was a long time ago.

I remembered something like this once.

That day.

Victor came to Victorica’s room and said very scary words, and when morning came, Victorica drew a map on the blanket.

It was because she heard scary stories and was tired of not being able to go to the bathroom by herself.

“Okay, now I remember. What happened to the well? I couldn’t remember exactly what it was about, but it was something like that. Viktor, have you seen “Mimir’s Well”? Right!?”

“Ugh…”

“I don’t know what it is, but it was in the Arkwright family.”

* * *

There was always terrible smoke in the basement.

The smoke is enough to make even Tisiphone, who is accustomed to all kinds of poisonous plants and poisons, dizzy if he doesn’t cover his nose and mouth.

“How many magic candles…”

A half-naked man was sitting cross-legged calmly amid the smoke from the magic candle that seemed to crook his nose.

The way his eyes were closed was as if he had been there from the beginning.

It seemed like it would be like this forever.

“…”

Tisiphone felt a strong murderous intent as she looked at him.

If I take out a knife here and now, will I be able to kill this man?

If you defeat this man here.

Everything will end.

“They’re coming at me.”

The man opened one of his eyes and said.

His golden eyes, his, his sparkle, his strangely.

“It was a good choice not to attack.”

“…”

Tisiphone did not answer in particular.

Zech.

Tisiphone’s eyes now looked beyond the Orca and towards the machinery humming loudly in the basement. It looked like a mirror made into a round oval.

However, instead of the glass that should be in the mirror, something like strange waves are waving in the air.

‘What on earth is that? I just know that I shouldn’t be in Orca’s hands.’

From noble mtl dot come

「Mimir’s Well」.

They said it was called that.

A mechanical device that goes beyond humanity.

It was an item that seemed to be an especially powerful artifact among artifacts.

“You might want to ask about this.”

Orca said.

It felt as if I had read Tisiphone’s thoughts of her

“This is the dragon’s ashes. It’s something my father Cain took from Fairybane’s nest when he was still a student at Ludens. Well, it was ultimately a useless item to my father.”

“…”

“But it is more useful to me than any other object. If you dip your head into that well, you will know the results of many dice.”

“…”

“Yes, it is thanks to this artifact that I can even read the numbers of the future. Truly omniscience. “I am beyond human beings.”

“Transcending humans… ?”

“Okay. Can’t you see it too? “The pinnacle of that mighty humanity.”

Sssss-.

Underground space.

There, a strange shape formed of smoke began to sway.

It soon transformed into the appearance of a man with graying hair.

A man who looks as if a lightning bolt fell to the ground and wielded a sword.

“Cain… !?”

It was Cain made of smoke.

Fake.

However, the spirit and fear Tisiphone felt was no different from facing the real thing.

“This, this…”

While Tisiphone was panicking, Orca slowly stood up and grabbed her sword.

“I’ll show you.”

Sereung.

Flashing.

The sound of swords clashing with swords can be heard loudly.

Blades that collide dozens of times in a split second like lightning striking down.

When the flash ended, all that remained was the Orca.

“That’s boring. Cain Arkwright. Was it just this much? Of course, it is an illusion created based on my memories.”

Orca placed her magic candle in her mouth.

Tisiphone put his hand in his pocket as he looked at the guy lighting the fire.

Kipokchal Shuriken.

Can I destroy that artifact by throwing it?

If we get rid of that, we can prevent Orca’s power from becoming any stronger.

“If it’s a kick-starter, it’s better not to throw it. Because something like that can’t even put a scratch on the artifact. All artifacts have the property of being ‘indestructible.’”

“…”

“And it’s about time you realized, Tisiphone. “I am the only one who can overcome the fate of this world, where only tragedy will repeat itself.”

“Victor is alive. “Your plan may go wrong.”

“Yes, Victor. He It was alive. I don’t know if he didn’t die in the first place or if he was resurrected. Now that I have reached the level of defeating Cain, that inferior b*stard will never be able to defeat me.”

“…”

“72 wins and 28 losses in 100 matches. That’s the history of my sparring with that guy in the Arclight family. Among these, the real sword sparring is number 72 and the wooden sword sparring is number 28.”

“That means… ?”

“His sword his can’t kill humans. Even if it is the enemy who killed his father his. Even if he is the enemy who will kill him. “It is a fatal weakness as a prosecutor.”

Orca recalled the long past.

From the moment we first met until now, Victor has always been a coward.

The guy was overly afraid of his own death.

At the same time, I was also afraid of the death of others.

“From the beginning, he was a talent that did not fit in with the human butcher Arclight family.”

Arclight’s sword, designed by Cain, is a sword for cutting only.

Orca’s sword, which took it to the next level, became only a ‘sword for killing’.

The completion of Arclight swordsmanship.

Orca obtained it after numerous battles.

“In the end, I will be the one to throw the dice on the last turn. Only then will we be able to break away from the gods’ chess and move toward the true meaning of human beings.”

* * *

It felt like I had a terrible dream.

The feeling of sleeping all day in an incorrect position.

My body was soggy and my mouth was extremely stuffy.

“…”

I got up from my seat and looked at the mirror.

I saw a fairly familiar face.

“18 years old.”

Go to a nearby pillar and measure your height.

The highest point I took.

The top of my head touches there.

“You’re finally all grown up.” It took longer than I thought.”

Enio said it would take 10 days, but once growth began to accelerate, it was out of control, like a rock rolling downhill.

4 days.

That’s the time I’ve grown from a 5-year-old kid to now.

How do I feel after going through rapid growth from age 5 to age 18 in 4 days—what can I say?

“I feel like I had an extremely long dream.”

Yes.

It felt exactly like that.

But when I think back, there are many good memories.

I even took a bath with my sisters.

We took walks in the park and played various board games together.

It is a pleasant memory, like a memory from a very long time ago.

“… “I’ve never had a taste for older people, but I think I might have some.”

Anyway.

I faced my past memories head on.

As expected, the answer I was looking for was in the past.

“Let’s try to restore the memory before it disappears.”

「Mimir’s Well」.

“It’s a device that reads memories.”

Reading the subject’s memory.

And it was a machine that could recreate objects, people, or extensive events from that memory.

So to speak, it was a simulation training device.

“I used it quite a bit too.”

One day, I was taken by Cain’s hand and thrown into the basement.

I had to fight against the countless monsters and nightmares that appeared there.

A realization that is too vivid to be considered virtual.

I actually got hurt.

━Hey… !

The first day I experienced it, I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep alone and even hid in Victorica’s room.

“But as the days passed, I became more gloomy. The eccentricity of “Steel” Emerged around that time. But no matter how much I repeated, my skills did not improve beyond a certain level, and Cain was no longer interested in me.”

My magic power is crap.

No matter how much I continued to train, I could not advance beyond a certain level in Arclight swordsmanship.

In the end, “Mimir’s Well” Was buried underground for a long time.

I, too, had been through a lot and couldn’t remember it.

“But did Orca put it in her hands?”

“Mimir’s Well” Is like a scarecrow at the training ground.

Performance is quite good.

“There is a possibility that the level of Orca has increased considerably.”

Perhaps what Mikhail said when he said that there is no one among humans who can deal with him may not be a lie.

“I guess we have no choice but to change the operation in many ways.”

But whatever, it doesn’t matter.

“Orca, I know that guy well. The weaknesses are clear. “If his skills have improved, it will become an even bigger weakness.”
