I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 399



399 – Winner

399 – Winner

Victorika and Enio.

The new ultimate techniques of the two clashed.

Because of the strong aftermath, people are running away from the main stadium, making it extremely confusing.

“Isn’t it too overheated?”

“This Ariol thinks he needs to run away… !”

“Hey… ! Arnoy, if you get caught up in something dangerous here, you won’t be able to graduate this year and will end up in the 9th grade… !”

I evacuated the nymphs and kept my eyes on the arena.

Because I had a feeling that something amazing was going to happen.

Paaang-!

Finally, a powerful explosion occurred.

“Ugh.”

It was such an explosion that even I felt like I would lose my mind if I didn’t hold on to it.

When I finally opened my eyes.

There was something huge and overwhelming standing in front of me.

Growing above the labyrinth as if to cover the sky.

It looks like it’s about a hundred meters long…

“Tree?”

Yes, it was a tree.

A tree that grew at the end of an explosion.

But it was different from an ordinary tree.

Because what made up the tree was starlight, not the brown and green that commonly comes to mind.

It was a tree like a broken Milky Way.

In fact, it may not be a tree.

They just look alike.

It is not strange to describe it as a tree-shaped nebula.

“What is this?”

This is a situation that even I am seeing for the first time.

Everyone is equally embarrassed.

“It’s pretty…”

Who was it?

It seems like it was Ariole who was struggling to escape just now.

As Ariol said, the starlight tree that grew on the ground was very beautiful.

Even I, who has a dull sense of sensibility, was so entranced that I just stared at it for a moment.

Still, I am wary of whether it might be dangerous.

I have no idea what that is.

Pajik, pajijik-.

At that time, a light flashed on the electronic display board.

Soon, the beeping sound that is heard when the microphone malfunctions resonates throughout the stadium, making it noisy.

When she turned her head, she saw Shadi, who was sitting in the broadcasting room, hurriedly coming to her senses and grabbing her microphone.

━Uh, I don’t know what happened! What happened! I wish there was an explanation from Mr. Jin… !

Of course, Jin did not explain this situation.

Because he probably doesn’t know what’s going on.

However, one thing was certain.

The explosion just now.

That a lot of things were swept away because of that.

And there was only one woman standing there.

━Mi, master of the labyrinth… ! The only one standing is the master of the labyrinth… !

Shadi shouted.

As he said, the only person standing in this place was Victorica, the owner of the labyrinth.

Nike, Enio, and Little Victorica were lying nearby, probably because they had been swept away by the explosion just now.

It was natural.

It wasn’t strange even if someone died.

No, it was no exaggeration to say that if we were to be careful, this entire stadium would be completely blown away.

“Huh, huh, huh…”

The labyrinth owner, Victorica, lifted the mana shield.

He looked very tired, perhaps because he had used all his magical power to prevent the explosion just now.

“In the ring… I’m glad I was able to save my magic power… Ugh!”

Nevertheless, there were many injuries as if the explosion could not be completely prevented.

Blood flows freely.

“Ugh.”

Widely-. Jinglang-.

The guy stumbled while relying on his cane.

Thanks to that, the keys on the wand jingle terribly.

“Cough-.”

Victoria, the owner of the labyrinth, spouting blood from her mouth.

The guy was just standing there now and his condition was no different from those who had fainted.

Passsssuk-.

At that time, the remains of the collapsed labyrinth wall twitched.

Paaat-.

After pushing away the heavy stones, what appeared was Flora covered in dust.

“West… Succeeded? I just completely blocked the explosion with 《Heavenly Wall》! “What a miracle indeed!”

Is it 《Heavenly Wall》?

It was a high-ranking blessing that priest-type characters could use.

It can be seen as a skill that is the identity of high-level priests as it is a skill that reduces the attack of the casted target to 0 for one turn only.

Flora seemed to have completely protected herself from the damage just now by using that technique.

Flora looked around.

“What the hell is this… ” .”

The scenery shown on the camera was quite scary.

Because the labyrinth that was built at a cost of 3.8 billion was destroyed.

This means that the tuition I worked hard to earn has been reduced to dust.

Cough-.

At that time, Victoria, the owner of the labyrinth, spurted out her blood again.

The blood flowing down her chest.

Flora must have come to her senses after seeing that and quickly runs away.

“Wait! “I’ll treat you now!”

It was Flora extending her hand towards Victorica.

However, Victorica pushes her older sister away and points her cane at her.

“I am the master of the labyrinth. My sister and I are enemies now…”

But that’s what she said.

Victorica’s condition seemed dangerous, as if she would collapse at any moment and lose her mind.

My gaze is hazy and my breathing is rough.

He spoke as if he was enduring the pain of his broken body her here and there.

“Sister, if there’s something you want to do, do it. Don’t make excuses at the end. “If you regret it later, it will be of no use.”

“I-I… ” .”

Flora looked into her palm

Flora holds it tightly.

“Naaah-!”

Finally, with a strange spirit, Flora lunged at her labyrinth owner, Victorica.

Then she slams her fist hard into Victorica’s face.

Peook-.

Victorica flew away.

It seems that Flora has no power to avoid or block her fists.

So at last Flora got her keys in her hands her.

And then head to the finish line.

Blink, blink.

An electronic signboard showing broken letters.

Flora’s score listed there is 734 points.

If he gains an additional 200 points towards the finish line, he will reach a score of 934 points, easily surpassing second place Nike’s score of 910 points.

It’s almost as if Flora’s win has been confirmed.

But Flora did not open the door to the finish line right away.

He kept looking back, looking at his fallen younger brothers, Enio, and Nike, as if hesitating. Then, Flora closes her eyes tightly as if she has made up her mind.

“I couldn’t fight confidently. I’m here because I deserve this key. All of this is inevitable. A winner shouldn’t feel sad when he steps on a loser…”

Rattling.

Flora inserting the key into the door at the finish line.

Dalgak-.

When the key turned, the door finally opened.

A trophy was placed beyond the door.

「Miss Ludens Contest Winner Trophy」.

When Flora finally took it in her hand, Shadi shouted loudly.

━Wow, the winner is Flora Arkwright! Candidate Flora Arkwright finally lifted the Miss Ludens trophy!

Flora became the queen of autumn.

Just like she had to.

Pot-.

Flora lifted her trophy high.

“Championship! You won! Everyone said it was impossible, and I myself wondered if it was possible, but I really won!”

Flora fluttering here and there.

Seeing that, people came from all over and cheered loudly.

“It was an amazing match! “I couldn’t keep up halfway through!”

“Flora! Flora!”

“Queen of Autumn!”

* * *

Flora was very happy.

The weight of the trophy was quite heavy, but it was so enjoyable that I even forgot about it.

People chanting Flora’s name here and there.

To celebrate the winner, birds flew into the sky, and firecrackers and flowers began to beautifully decorate the collapsed stadium.

“I won!”

Flora felt dizzy with the sweetness of her victory, which she felt for the first time in her life.

But at the same time, a great worry settled in a corner of my mind.

Zek-.

Flora’s gaze now turned to her younger siblings, who were lying on the floor, panting.

It was nice to win, though.

It wasn’t fun to see other people hurt and lying down.

What would it have been like if it were her own father, her brother, or her sister?

They would have lightly trampled and ridiculed the defeated people.

Because that will be the fate of the losers.

But Flora couldn’t bear it.

In a way, she got to this point by ‘luck’.

She feels a little doubtful about whether she can beat everyone and hold the trophy.

At that time, people flocked towards Flora.

Transport the injured on stretchers or remove collapsed debris.

“Hey, what on earth is this? Tree of stars?”

“I don’t know. It looks dangerous, so let’s not touch it.”

Everything is in disarray.

A man approached Flora and handed her flowers and a crown.

“Congratulations on winning. I said it. “I have enough qualifications to win.”

“It was like that.”

“But you don’t seem all that happy about winning the long-awaited victory. Where are you hurt? At first glance, it looks the most normal.”

The man, Victor, looked at various places around Flora.

Flora spoke honestly about it.

“I’m glad I won, though. I don’t really feel like I won with my own skills.”

“Do you mean that I think I won by luck?”

“That’s right.”

It was when Flora lowered her gaze as if she was a little disappointed.

Victor said firmly.

“Luck is also a skill.”

“Yes?”

“Being born into a good family. Meeting good parents. Meeting a good opportunity that allows you to sharpen yourself. Born with talent. “In fact, more than 90% of what you may think of as skill is influenced by something called ‘luck.’”

“… What kind of sophistry…”

“It is not sophistry. In this world ruled by dice, skill is actually all about luck. The results are absolute. “It’s that kind of world, Flora.”

“That…”

“So smile. When Kangwoon was still with you. There is no way that you will be lucky forever. “When you can laugh, you laugh and enjoy it.”

Flora could vaguely understand Victor’s words.

It would be a celebration in its own way.

He was still a clumsy man.

But Flora was able to organize his thoughts and her thanks to that awkward congratulation.

What did he really want?

“Victor, do you know that? They say the Arkwright family is cursed. They say that you are destined not to have what you truly want. I’m destined to fall while chasing the unreachable sun for the rest of my life…”

Flora looked at the trophy in her hand

And the flowers and compliments pouring in towards him.

To be honest, he thought, ‘Is this such a big deal?’

Win and lose, fight and win.

It was a fun and enjoyable experience, but once she got the trophy, Flora realized that he was not the gay man she had truly hoped to be.

The process of working hard for something.

Flora enjoyed the process itself.

Rather than the joy of holding the result in my hand, the time spent trying to obtain it was more fun. When I came to that thought, the trophy in his hand he felt like nothing more than a heavy piece of metal.

“… Since we only pursue dreams that seem plausible on the outside, we probably don’t notice. What we truly wanted. But I finally understand.”

Zek-.

Flora presented the trophy to Victor.

“What I wanted wasn’t a trophy like this. “I just wanted to try my best to achieve something.”

“So, are you satisfied?”

“Is it so. It was fun. More than that, Victor, he has been saying for a long time that he wants to have this trophy, right? I’ll give it to you. “It’s something I don’t need anymore. .”

The man, Victor, accepted the trophy.

When Victor closed his mouth and looked at the trophy with appreciative eyes, Flora added a word.

“She would even give up becoming a saint. Actually, I didn’t want to become a saint or something.”

At that declaration, someone watching the situation in the stands trembled as if embarrassed.

She is Saint Jeanne.

“Well, what do you mean? “I’m giving up on becoming a saint!”

Beside her, Saint Salome was embarrassed and her body trembled.

“Isn’t it different from the story? She would have said that she would become a saint if she trained you. Not everyone can get this opportunity. “The blessings that were yours may be taken away forever.”

From noble mtl dot come

It was just as he said.

If Flora refuses to become a ‘saint’ now.

The power of blessing within her will return to nothingness.

Then Flora will never be able to embody a miracle.

Flora hesitated for a moment.

She has experienced in praying, inflicting “Celestial punishment”, And memorizing spells to heal people and protect their bodies. It was an exhilarating part of Flora’s life like never before.

Once she knows that feeling, she can’t give up easily.

If she loses that opportunity, she may regret it forever.

But Flora shook her head.

“After all, her becoming a saint is not what I wanted. A life of praying every day would be dull and boring. There would be no nap time or tea time, which I like.”

Jean and Salome said nothing.

It was Victor who smiled softly, like the wind passing by toward Flora.

“Flora, you are the wisest Arclight.”

“Is that so? Even now, honestly, I wonder if I’m being foolish.”

“No, you won. In many senses.”

Flora won.
