I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 441

“What are you thinking?”
The man came to his senses at the cold touch on his face.
When he turned his head, his shiny hair was dazzled by the bright sunlight.
“Johanna.”
The name of the woman who held the bottle of ice water to Cain’s face was Johanna.
Johanna Arkwright.
She is Cain’s long-time fiancée and childhood friend.
I am 17 years old this year.
If it were a long time ago, it would not have been strange to have two children after the coming-of-age ceremony. Johanna liked to play pranks like a child.
“Cain, you were thinking about something else during her training, weren’t you? Was she thinking about another woman?”
“That can’t be possible.”
“… I get it! Is that because she has to go to Ludens Island soon? She was supposed to enter the Academy on Ludens Island. “Is that why she was upset?”
Johanna’s words reminded her Cain that she must soon leave the familiar nature of Arc Light and head to the unfamiliar island of Ludens.
17 years old.
Cain entered the first year of high school at the age of 17, and she had to graduate with excellent grades so that she could be recognized by the old people of her family as Johanna’s fiancé.
Even though he is her fiancé unlike her daughter her her her, Johanna, who comes from her main family her her, Cain comes from a branch of light blood.
There are still many people who do not like their engagement.
In fact, Johanna’s place is coming from all over.
“There must be a lot of pretty girls of all kinds on Ludens Island. Cain, you shouldn’t pay attention to other kids because I’m not there. Do you understand?”
“…”
“It would be nice if we could enroll together. Cough.”
Early spring had come, but the winter cold had not yet subsided, so Johanna coughed. Johanna’s body was weak from a young age, so she coughed and had a fever every day.
Innate lack of stamina that cannot be cured by potions or treatment by priests.
In the world, this is called ‘the curse of fate.’
Therefore, Johanna, whose body was weak, could not take the long journey to Ludens Island on her ship.
Much less dreaming of entering Ludens Academy, where he might become a hero cadet and fight all kinds of monsters.
So, with this admission, Cain and Johanna were separated for the first time since they were five years old.
They have been together for a very long time, bound by the name of ‘engagement’, so spending time apart from each other is very unfamiliar.
Because of that, Cain has often been lost in thought about their relationship these days.
So much so that she even forgot to swing the sword.
Cain asked.
“Johanna, do you mind if you stay engaged with me and get married? “It’s a story decided by adults regardless of your will or intention.”
In the dignified and noble Arkwright family, the orders of ‘adults’ were absolute laws.
Children just have to follow it.
Then, one day, the children will become adults again and give birth to children who will absolutely obey what they say.
A cogwheel that must maintain discipline and order.
In Cain’s opinion, Johanna Arkwright was also like that.
Johanna, who had never been outside the Arklight Mansion in her life and had to follow the decisions of adults, looked like a bird trapped in a cage.
But Johanna did her twirls, lifting her toes like a skilled ballerina.
Then she stopped moving and said.
“There was a brave fortune teller who came to Bonbon a long time ago, right? An old man with only one eye. That person said “I say you have to listen to adults carefully to live a long life.”
“Eight characters?”
“It’s meant to be like that.”
“…”
Cain didn’t like the word fate.
Because I come from a branch family.
Because she is Johanna’s fiancé – how much hardship did she go through?
The word “Fate” Seemed like the complaint of a loser, giving just meaning to giving up without even trying. And Cain hated it when Johanna said those things.
Of course, Johanna asks casually.
“So Cain, what was your last move? What was so flashy?”
“First meal, cutting the light.”
“Hmm, really? From what I heard, I don’t think it was that name? “Lying is a bad habit, Cain.”
“Then I won’t lie. Come with me, Johanna.”
“Together?”
“Even if you can’t enter Ludens Academy, you will be able to live together at Arclight Villa. “There might be things on that island that can make your body healthy.”
Cain recalled the legend of “The Holy Sword of the Lake”.
The story goes that “Excalibur” That fell into the lake has the effect of healing people’s wounds and making them healthy.
I don’t know if it’s real or false, a myth or reality, but there was a possibility on ‘Ludens Island’ that might make Johanna’s body healthy.
Johanna’s face brightens.
“Really? But, the adults won’t allow it…”
“It’s good to hear what old people say. These are people who will die naturally even if left alone. There’s no need to listen to those old people. “I’m asking about your heart, Johanna Arkwright.”
“You talk too harshly to the grandfathers. Cain, you too will grow old someday. Do you want young people to say things like that to you then?”
In response to Johanna’s question, Cain imagined her old self.
Nothing comes to mind about her.
Because she was full of energy, as if she would be young forever.
So Cain smuggled away with Johanna.
It was the bravery or spirit of young people.
The Arklight family obviously did not like them as they went to the villa on Ludens Island.
However, when Cain told her that he would work on her her her her “Treasure exploration” Her to repair Johanna’s her body her her her, she reluctantly allowed her to deviate.
“They say that in the eastern volcano, there is a fire dragon called ‘Fairybane’ guarding the treasures of the gods. There is also a ghost wizard in the northern snowy mountains, and a witch with an old contract in the western forest…”
“That’s amazing. Collock. “Can I become healthier if I use the treasures found in the dungeon?”
After her return her, Johanna’s condition improved and then improved.
Cain saw her like that and urged her to go on an ‘adventure’ to find her her her her treasure her her her her her treasure her.
In fact, his efforts paid off.
It seemed like all the magical items in Ludens were gradually making Johanna’s body healthier.
It was while wandering around that I met Rose Crimson.
“You have amazing skills, right? I heard you’ve already cleared more than five dungeons? Is this really because he comes from the Arclight family? Ah! Me? I’m Rosé. Rosé Crimson!”
Rose Crimson was like a burning firewood with oil poured on it.
It’s different from Johanna, who just melts like snow on a spring day.
It was natural for Cain to fall in love with such a woman.
However, Cain, who had grown old like the old people she used to ridicule, admitted that the feelings of interest she had for Rose Crimson were different from cheap ‘affection’ or ‘love.’ >
‘… I saw Johanna in Rose. Although they were two completely different people.’
I hoped Johanna would be as healthy as Rosé.
If possible, I hoped to enter the academy together, explore dungeons together, and watch the stars at night at the campfire together.
If only it were Johanna and not Rosé by her side.
But it couldn’t be done.
Because it was inevitable that it would be ‘fate’.
All of Cain Arkwright’s efforts and spilled blood were aimed at cutting down that fate.
However, it was only now that she was dying that she had no choice but to admit that in the end she was just a puppet for entertainment.
Pain rips through her head.
That’s probably why forgotten memories of the past came to mind.
It must be something called a magic light.
But Cain did not die.
It’s probably because little Viktor couldn’t completely cut down the thing called ‘fate’.
Cain slowly got up, feeling the feel of the dirt against his face.
Of course, it was best to just kneel on the floor.
I no longer have the strength or will to hold the sword.
All I feel is the pain that leads to death.
It even feels like she has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Victor, who resembled his past self, asked such a man.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“No.”
* * *
My Type 8 Destiny Slash was clumsy.
As I understand it, Destiny Slash is a technique that ‘destroys’ anything.
According to my brain, it should have been a life-saving technique.
Cain did not die because his skill level was poor.
Of course.
Although I will die soon.
Cain lifted her body up from the floor.
She had a noble attitude, as if she could not allow dirt to touch her face even in the face of her death. It feels like she is rebelling against the world.
But in the midst of the pain and the creeping shadow of death, it would have been best for her to get down on her knees.
I asked him, who lowered his head like a death row inmate.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“No.”
The answer was clear.
Since he is this arrogant and self-righteous until the moment he dies, on one hand, even respect arises.
As expected, he is like the man I chased after.
If I die someday, I want to die dressed like this.
Zek-.
I stood next to Cain, who had his head down, and raised my sword high like an executioner.
The sword held back with all its might is like a guillotine about to be struck.
Actually, it would be similar to that.
This was my father Avon’s technique.
The last sword technique he couldn’t even name.
I also haven’t been able to give it a proper name yet, but defeating Cain with it was dramatic in many ways.
“… “Goodbye, father.”
Sreung, flash-.
I struck down the sword that was raised high with all my might.
That was it.
Flutter-.
The man’s body falls into the bushes, turning the flower petals red.
There was no need for words.
There was no more music playing in my head.
Because this wasn’t a game.
Susseu-.
Only the wind that blew from somewhere faintly shook the flower petals.
Swords stuck in the ground like tombstones make a cool sound as they cut through the wind.
Looking at it, it felt like this place had already been completed in itself.
It seems like there is no place for me in this place anymore.
So I just kept walking and left this “Secret garden.”
Zek-.
When I was about to leave the villa, someone approached me at the entrance.
This guy is Victorica.
Not the small one, but the big one.
When I said I couldn’t see the fortress, it seems like I was watching the entire battle.
“I thought we were going to fight today. I thought that if we were going to fight, today would be the day. Now… Is it really all over now?”
Victorica asked.
What does the word “Finished” Mean?
The ending of the game?
Cain Arclight is the boss that decorates the ending.
Now that she has defeated him, it may be true that it is over in many ways.
But I shook my head.
“It starts now.”
Jalang-.
Victorica handed me something.
It was a golden crown.
“You won. Now you are the only peak.”
