I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 331



331 – Helplessness

331 – Helplessness

Full, full.

Drurr.

The sound of bones rattling.

The sound of their swords dragging across the floor of the fortress became louder.

Before you know it, a large shadow is appearing at the corner of the hallway.

“Hey! Hurry! The dead are coming! Release me! You can’t just deal with one or two guys! How many dead do you think there are in this castle? “You can kill them all!?”

Yumi was almost crazy.

Should we join hands and focus on surviving for now?

It would be a proposal for a temporary alliance.

Of course, it was obvious that when he was released, he would offer me up as a sacrifice and run away.

“I told you before. “The promises you make are more meaningless than the sand rolling around on the playground.”

“What?”

“Now, the dead in this castle don’t bother me. “I am the dead man who crawled up from the bottom of hell to catch you.”

“…”

Yumi opened her mouth for a moment.

She frowned and opened her mouth, with an expression as if to say, “What are you doing, you b*stard?”

I saw this look a lot from particularly rude female customers when I was working part-time at a bar. On the contrary, I am glad to see it.

No, actually, I’m not happy.

I need to give him a slap in the face.

Pair.

“Ahh!”

Yumi flinched as if she was in great pain from her light slap her.

She was soon jumping from side to side and screaming her head.

“… You!? “You just hit me!”

“Two more hits.”

Clap clap.

Hit her left and right

Her palms tempered her sword, labor, and debt, were quite harsh, causing Yumi’s nose to burst and her lips torn open and bleeding.

“Ugh, ahhh, apod… !”

Yumi’s face was red and she was in extreme pain.

The expression on his face her her is a mixture of pain, shame, and anger… It’s like, what? It was my first time seeing a face like this, so I couldn’t describe it.

But she was very cheerful.

I felt like the icicles that had been stuck inside me for several days were melting.

I originally didn’t have a taste for hitting women, but it seems like I’m starting to develop it a little.

“How dare you hit me!? I can’t forgive you! I’ll tear it to shreds! Next time, and the next time, you will be the first to tear it down!”

Of course, Yumi struggled.

Then, the voice became quieter and quieter, until the dead with evil eyes shining appeared in front of us.

“…”

Yumi just keeps her mouth shut

It seems like a lie that you were yelling as if you were going to kill me by biting the back of my neck with your mouth.

━Grrrr.

━Geaaagh… !

Yumi’s body was trembling at the sound of the dead people.

Looking at that, I simply asked.

“Are you afraid?”

“…”

The guy didn’t answer.

However, the stiff shoulders and back he provided the answer.

Chihuahua.

This guy was a Chihuahua barking loudly at a vicious dog through the window.

If someone were to remove that window, all she would do was tuck her tail between her legs and shiver like she always did.

━aaa aaa… !

━Gay ugh… !

The skeletons with their mouths open finally approached us with their arms outstretched.

Looking at them widening their sharp teeth, Yumi said, “aaah!” She screamed and buried her face in my shoulder.

This is the first time I feel this cool while holding a woman in my arms.

I felt so bad that I wanted to push him away.

Of course I didn’t.

If I push this guy, those blue-eyed dead people will rush toward Yumi like piranhas toward a lamb.

Then Yumi will die, and this world will return in an instant.

“You have to protect this ugly guy.”

Is this how the prison guards who are obliged to protect vicious criminals feel?

It was a feeling that was difficult to explain.

“Victor, Yumi!”

At that time, someone came running from that hallway.

It was Luke.

The guy’s body was charred or had cuts here and there.

It seems it took some time to break through the trap field.

Luke took a deep breath and looked at Yumi tied in his arms

He looked quite unbelievable seeing him trembling and surrounded by the dead.

“You really caught it.”

“I finished everything while you were away.”

Luke guy.

In the end, nothing helped.

That’s what I thought.

“What do you plan to do now? Are you going to tie me up like this and take me away?”

Luke asked.

I just shake my head.

“No. “I will seal Yumi.”

Zech.

I left Yumi on her floor and opened her bag.

I took out the coolly stored slush, eggs, and advanced recovery potion.

It was about time I put it down on the floor.

Slurp.

The dead who were surrounding us got out of the way.

Soon, a skeleton wizard appeared, slamming the base of his staff on the floor with a thudding sound.

━It’s that kid.

“I won’t bother you now.”

━No. Because promises and rules must be kept. What I have a goal for is that girl over there.

Zek-.

The tip of Astara’s staff pointed to a woman, Garna, who was out of breath.

A situation that looks dangerous, as if life may run out at any moment.

I spoke lightly.

“Do whatever you want with that guy. “This is my purpose.”

Zech.

After laying Yumi down, open her mouth.

But Yumi began to struggle.

“What! Why am I not attacked!? I don’t understand! There is no way something like this is possible! No! Argh, ugh!”

Yumi seemed unable to believe all of this.

I poured a slush into that guy’s mouth.

“Awwwww.”

Swallow half and spit out half.

It’s annoying.

However, she somehow managed to eat it and was preparing the next slushie.

“Luke, help me…” ” .”

Yumi said to Luke with tears in her eyes.

“… Help me!”

It was extremely pathetic.

What would it have been like if Nike or Victorica had been captured by the villains and looked at me like that?

If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.

But Luke endured.

The guy clenched his fists and shouted as if he was letting out something he had been suppressing.

“Yumi, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I must somehow…”

“Do something about it now! You useless b*stard! Hurry… ! Hurry up… !”

Struggling.

Yumi poured out her curses at Luke and the world.

Curse.

Anger.

It is even more sad than the moans of the dead of this castle.

Luke also seemed a little embarrassed by that appearance.

“… This is my first time seeing it like this. That Yumi…”

It seems like even a thousand years of love could cool down in an instant.

“uuu… ! Save me… Save me… ! I don’t want to die… ! “What the heck.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t die.”

Gulp.

I finally put the entire recovery potion into Yumi’s mouth.

Yumi’s limbs are struggling.

Zoroastara said as if he had seen that.

━To trample so mercilessly on a girl who couldn’t even resist? To others, she must be very worthy of sticking out her tongue. This is truly the appearance of villains.

If you look at this scene alone, I would be the villain.

But I was actually a warrior.

I have now saved the world.

The potion container was empty, but great relief filled my heart.

“Roo… Nice…”

Those were the last words Yumi spoke.

The guy who was tied up was frozen solid.

Complete silence.

My heart also gets cold at the same time.

“…”

It’s over.

The feeling of exhaustion felt when a tightly pulled rubber band is released with a pop.

As that started to kick around in my chest, something that could be called reality finally came back.

My heart is pounding so hard and cold sweat is pouring down from my forehead to my back.

I felt like I was falling into the sea.

“I was lucky.”

There were many variables I hadn’t thought of.

Garna was here, and the traps Yumi had prepared were especially dangerous.

If we had taken more time, if Yumi had abundant resources, this place would have become a complete fortress.

Cut off Pymblebert’s resources and reduce support for Yumi─.

And it was fortunate that the strategy of swooping in at an unexpected time and catching her off guard worked well.

If any of them are out of order…

I don’t really want to imagine.

「Traitor – Yumi」.

He was a stronger and more dangerous opponent than any boss or villain I had faced.

Zech.

At that time, Zoro Astara touched Yumi, who had stiffened.

Its her eye her light changes from red to blue and from blue to yellow.

━Have I become something that is neither alive nor dead? This is the first time I have seen something like this in my long journey of magic. It contains knowledge and rules that I don’t understand. Taboos, gods and the realm of creation…

What’s the need for a lengthy explanation?

It’s just a bug.

It is also proof that this world was not created perfectly.

Anyway.

“It’s over.”

Fire Dragon Fairybane.

I never would have guessed that the problems that arose while dealing with him were finally resolved at the end of the northern land.

* * *

━I’ll give you this.

As I was leaving the Ice Fortress, the Death Wizard held out something to me.

It was an “Ancient grimoire.”

It is a reward item that can be obtained by maximizing your affinity for the Death Wizard.

It was an item that had the effect of further increasing the attack power of wizard characters.

“I will accept it well.”

I’ll give you a big Victoricana Nike.

Now that we had finished our business, it was time to leave the ice castle.

━The one who holds the crown now is truly a strong man. Boy, the pinnacle of humanity is beyond your reach with your meager talent. Do you want to beat that guy?

Are you talking about Cain?

I stopped answering.

Then the wizard kindly added an explanation.

━There is a great forest on the west side of this mysterious island. Go there and defeat the domain owner there. Boy, that monster has what you want.

“…”

━Then, go. And don’t come here again.

Giik, tung-.

The huge castle gate was closed.

“Good.”

Since there was no longer any need to deal with the dead, the return trip took about half a day.

It is only when you leave the cold and chilly land and see the lush greenery near the academy site that a languid feeling of fatigue finally covers your body.

Zech.

I put down the statue of Yumi that I was carrying on my back.

“It’s quite heavy.”

It weighs about 50kg.

My arms feel numb as I keep holding it.

So I decided to rest for a while on a scenic trail.

Self-autumn trees swaying in the wind.

As I was recovering from my fatigue down there, Luke said something.

“… In the end, I wasn’t very helpful.”

“…”

“As soon as I saw Yumi, my body froze. I was thinking that I had to take responsibility. “When I met Yumi, I couldn’t do anything.”

Luke looked at his palm

Do you feel helpless?

It may be harsh for a boy who is only 18 years old to find out that his childhood friend is a traitor and have to take it into his own hands.

“What is a hero? What is a warrior? What on earth did I want to do when I came to Ludens? When I came here, all I did was…”

Luke seemed to be looking back on his life

A feeling of lack of confidence in oneself.

“Reality was different from the fairy tales that Master told me. “I thought it would be full of glory and exciting adventure, but it wasn’t like that.”

“I see.”

The Luke I knew was never like this.

This guy was always the one who took the lead in solving any case and acted as the focal point for everyone.

But now he is sagging like an amateur boxer who has aged and retired without producing any meaningful results.

“…”

There may be many reasons.

From noble mtl dot come

Maybe it’s because I’ve been taking down cases that Luke should have handled.

I took away his experience and confidence.

Zech.

Luke’s eyes turn to me.

His heart hurts a little.

“Victor, the first time I saw you, you were confused. So much so that he doesn’t even know who he is. But you are different now. Like a completely different person. How? “What should I do?”

I quietly thought about Luke’s question.

The question, what can I do?

I’ve tried it a lot too.

Since when did it start?

I think it started when I got hit on the head by Luke.

From then on, I was Ha Seung-ri and Victor.

I was torn between the two.

“If you think about it, you owe me a debt from the time you transferred. Get hit once.”

I picked up the sheath and struck Luke on the head.

─Nymph Bigi, honey chestnut beating.

Pak-.

This is a skill that only people with the title ‘Nymph’ can master, and it is a skill that hits the opponent’s honey chestnut.

“Ugh!”

Luke covering his head with honey.

I told him.

“Don’t ask anyone else what you want to do, idiot. Do you plan to go left if I go left and go right if I go right?”

“No, nothing like that…” ” .”

“What I’m saying is, talented guys shouldn’t make such a fuss about losers. “If you are the one who defeated me twice, smile like the hero of the world.”

That was the end of what I had to say.

A character that is simply controlled by the player.

Because you are no longer like that.

Also, I was no longer the main character ‘Luke’.

I am Victor, and at the same time, I am Ha Seung-ri.

Luke was my partner with whom I had played countless games.

“…”

I want to tell you that your path and mine are now different.

But I just kept those words to myself.

I just hold out my hand.

“Anyway, I’ve enjoyed our adventures with you so far, Luke. It was a really long adventure.”

“Oh? Uh, me too. It’s only been three days, but it feels like we’ve known each other for an incredibly long time. Is it thanks to the teacher? Anyway, it was fun. There were some difficult parts in many ways.”

Zech.

We held hands.

At this moment, from today, I clearly said goodbye to my childhood.
