The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 505
506 – Side Story – Since I’m back for the first time, I want to say that I like it this time too!
“… Oh, that’s a long story. Shall we finish this soon?”
“yes!!!”
“please!!!”
“Oh my God!”
The students, who had been suffocating from boredom with Principal Nelson’s never-ending speech, responded violently. Everyone swallowed the bad words that rose up in their throats as they saw Nelson smiling in satisfaction at the reaction.
Because the end is not far away now. The current students already experienced last year that when Principal Nelson takes out a cane from his pocket and lightly swings it, the door to the banquet hall opens and a banquet begins where one can eat and drink as much as they want.
As everyone swallowed their saliva and gave longing glances, Nelson put his hand into his arms with a happy smile.
“ruler! Now that the boring speech is over, I hope you enjoy the banquet to your heart’s content—”
“Sleep kaaan―――!!!”
Suddenly, someone’s voice echoed through the banquet hall. Principal Nelson must have used the loudspeaker magic he used in his speech, so even the slightest breath could be heard clearly in everyone’s ears. When everyone was looking left and right with puzzled faces at the sudden situation and mumbling…!
At the table where the freshman combat team was gathered, a boy stood up.
The boy with blond hair and blue eyes was named ‘Ross’.
―Roaring roaring
“W-what is it?”
“Are you a new member of the combat club?”
“More than that… ! A new member of the combat club copied the principal’s loudspeaker magic?!”
“ah! I know who it is! “You’re Roel’s younger brother who is said to be entering school this time!”
Everyone’s eyes in the banquet hall naturally focused on Ross. Interest was even greater because it had been a rumor that had been going around for several months that Roel’s younger brother, whom every student at the academy knew and liked, would be entering the school as a freshman.
Among the many people watching was Ross’s childhood friend, Ellie. She was actually half-mad that Ross, who had no interest in magic, was copying the magic of an archmage with the title of wise man. It was impossible for him now to copy the principal’s magic in the same way.
“Uh, how could Ross… ?”
Roel, who is good at everything, would have nodded casually, saying that he could do that if he suddenly became good at magic. But what if Ross, an ugly person who can’t do anything without her by her side, suddenly becomes good at magic… ? That was an accident that could only be seen as a change in the world line. Or, it was a phenomenon that could be called a ghost story.
“Ugh… “When I see pain, it’s not a dream, right?”
Ellie, who was gently pinching her cheek to see if she was dreaming, was embarrassed when she suddenly felt the eyes of the students sitting around her focusing on her.
“… Huh? Why are you suddenly looking at me… ?!”
From noble mtl dot com
Ellie, who was confused and muttering to herself, realized the reason in the middle. Ross, who had the attention of everyone in the banquet hall (even Principal Nelson and the academy professors), was looking straight at him. He had a stern expression with an instinctive sense of ominousness, as if he had something he had to say.
At that moment, Ellie felt like her heart was dropping to the floor. Why does Ross, who normally can’t even look at his own eyes, have to look straight at himself while ignoring the gazes of countless people?
Ellie, who is smart and perceptive, was able to deduce the reason very easily. Even if the answer is something she absolutely wants to deny. Ellie felt despair that among the many people who were looking at her with interest, even Roel, whom she had been interested in, was included, and she muttered with a face that looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment. I cried.
“You, you can’t believe it… Oh, no, right? Please, no-”
“Ross, a first-year member of the Combat Club, openly reveals that he likes his childhood friend, Ellie, a new student at the Magic Club!!!”
As Ross’ voice filled the banquet hall, Ellie’s legs became weak and she sat down.

―――3 hours ago, in a men’s bathroom at the academy.
A true wizard who has surpassed the limitations of being a wizard and has reached complete transcendence. I, who had earned the title of King of Wizards, was wretched, shaking my legs in the toilet stall of the bathroom.
“uuu… .”
It’s not that I want to poop. It’s about relaxing. As I was trying to relax by dropping my legs, I remembered the enigmatic advice given to me by Ellie, whom I met in another world.
‘You just have to make me curious.’
‘ok… ? ‘What are you talking about out of nowhere?’
‘I’m a very curious person. That’s why I also became interested in Roel, an incomprehensible genius. So I’m giving you advice on how to seduce me from another world. If you have the chance, use it.’
‘Well, then how…? ?’
‘Express your true feelings with the best magic you can. For me back then, that would have been enough. ‘Because you are the magic king.’
‘… Is it real? Can I trust you? ‘That works?!’
‘What kind of person was Ellie back then…? ‘Is there anyone who knows better than me?’
Actually, I still can’t believe it, but this is advice from Ellie from another world. I’m sure it wasn’t a trap since I helped a lot… Isn’t it? She’s Ellie, so I’m actually a little nervous. She’s the kind of person who wouldn’t be surprised if one day she confesses that she’s good enough at NTR to win an award.
Still, I trusted Ellie. Because humans have a conscience. So, as soon as I returned to the moment of possession, I planned [♥Ross’s Big Proposal Strategy♥].
With countless onlookers watching me.
It seems that God gave him a special gift for helping save the world. An onlooker who was simply passing by upgraded the heartwarming chat to be able to watch it again at any time.
however… .
<Considering that thoughts will already be plastered all over the place, it would be a shame if you just smiled and said hello> [420]
<Predict the situation in 30 minutes.haebom> [327]
<If this fails, who will be the heroine now?> [488]
<Fucking armband, look at the universe now!> [22]
<Huh? How do I get blocked haha? If you can’t see this live, your life will be ruined haha> [412]
<Are you confessing to Ellie? Go, Back.> [177]

“… “You crazy b*stards.”
It doesn’t help me at all. Before, I could just ignore the bullshit and let it go, but now it’s stuffed with time. I haven’t even checked the most recommended article yet because I judged it to be not worth reading based on the title alone.
<If Galjoo has to show off Ellie on their first meeting, that’s great haha> [8982]
I honestly don’t need to see the content. I couldn’t even delete the post because I didn’t have an armband. Is there a case like this? I would like to ask where I can apply for a special refund. Is it okay to go to the nearest temple within 30 days?
Still, the onlookers were not the only crazy ones. There were many good-hearted onlookers who seriously reflected on my concerns. If there is one sick person, there are four normal people.
[Let’s not worry and follow Ellie’s advice from another world!]
[No need to listen to the gals. [Nervous]
[So what kind of magic are you going to use?]
[What about this? The foundation is elemental magic, and the frame of the technique is Ellie’s specialty, synthetic magic… ]
[Rather than that, I think it is better to use the previously improved multi-illusion magic]
As the saying goes, a lot of good advice has accumulated while evil onlookers are going about their business. Thanks to this, I was able to diligently research the magic to use for confession before the academy entrance ceremony began.
however… .
“Because I’m actually going to do it… “I’m scared.”
Confessing in front of everyone.
Even though I am the king of wizards, it is not easy.
What will the hair designer at the beauty salon do for you? It can be seen as a level of difficulty similar to the challenge of giving an answer other than ‘neatly.’
[LOL ㄹㅇ You know that feeling]
[I was scared at first too, but later it became easier.]
[Yes, that is also an experience. I was also very shy when I was young. But after experiencing love, I was able to change.]
[ㅅㅂ To be honest, I can’t watch it live haha. I feel like I’m going to wear a blanket today haha]
As the moment of confession approached, the actions of the bystanders who were making a fuss like me made all my shaking my legs seem in vain.
reel? I feel like I really want to poop.
While I was biting my lip and taking a deep breath, an onlooker asked.
[Are the preparations perfect? There is nothing worse than failing in front of Ellie haha]
[Hmm, I got goosebumps just imagining that situation. Magic fails in front of the entire school! Wow!!!]
[Then you should immediately commit suicide by blowing your head]
“Preparation is perfect! “I am the king of wizards.”
… Probably.
This really works, right… Ellie?!
Or I’ll really curse you!

―――Back to the present, the banquet hall.
Ellie, who almost fainted due to Ross’s confession, was barely able to keep her consciousness with the help of those around her. At first she felt embarrassed, but after her confession, Ellie felt ashamed and now she had entered the stage of anger.
Ellie, who was gritting her teeth and vowing to teach Ross a lesson she would never forget for publicly humiliating her at the entrance ceremony, suddenly forgot the anger that had filled her head when Ross suddenly took out a cane from his chest.
“to? cane?”
He was embarrassed because the fact that Ross, a fighting man, owns a personal cane was out of context, like making an out-of-nowhere confession in front of the entire school. Other students who were watching the situation did the same. Just as everyone was wondering why the combat team was taking out their canes!
[―――Hoy!]
Ross used magic. It was magic written in an ancient language that no one in the banquet hall could understand.
The magic embodied around Ross spread towards the walls and ceiling of the banquet hall. Finally, everyone’s lips, regardless of whether they were professors or students, parted slightly without realizing it as the magic materialized throughout the banquet hall.
“… .”
The entire banquet hall was colored with numerous colors. Where the wall was, there was a night sky full of beautiful stars, and on the ceiling where everyone could see, there was a girl smiling beautifully with light.
Ellie, a girl with obsidian eyes that contained both sadness and joy, was looking down on everyone.
“Hoo… “This is really amazing.”
“Hey, this is the magic of a freshman…” “It’s really amazing.”
It was magic that made Transcendence’s principal Nelson and the famously strict Vice Principal Leora burst out in pure admiration.
“wow.”
“I-I’m giving you shivers..?”
“… “The pods have become hard.”
If it were a painting that simply realized colors through magic, everyone in the banquet hall would not have been staring blankly at it with wide eyes like a child. Most of the students at Transcendence Academy come from aristocratic families and have been educated since childhood to cultivate an interest in art.
Even if you were not a noble, Transcendence students could enter the capital’s exhibition halls filled with art from the era for free.
In other words, any student attending Transcendence has an eye for art.
However, Ross’ magic was not simply a well-drawn magic. The color was not expressed through magic, but the unique color of the element was simply revealed for everyone to see. However, it gave me a feeling of reality that could not be imitated by any paint or magic.
Since it was a method he learned directly from Ellie, who would become a future archmage who would be able to manipulate all elements, the only person who could implement this method was currently Ross. That made it feel even more shocking. It almost felt like reality had been summoned by magic.
Anyone skilled in magic and art would never make the mistake of closing their eyes even for a moment. Anyone who misses this moment, which burns intensely and creates a harmonious mix of reality and fantasy, is not worthy of attending the entrance ceremony of Transcendence Academy.
It was the same for Ellie.
What makes her different from other students is that rather than squinting her eyes in fear of missing even a small detail, she closes her eyes.
But Ellie didn’t need to open her eyes.
Because I have already engraved this moment in my heart forever.
This was magic that could be called an unforgettable, mysterious phenomenon, and it was close to art that could be dared to be called representative of the times. There was no way that the future Grand Wizard Ellie would accept its value in the same way as an ordinary person.
She could feel not only the sophistication of magic that others could not see, but also the beautiful harmony of opposite elements. Ellie felt beyond the pounding of her heart her soul was pounding.
Exactly!
When Ross snapped his fingers, the magic embodied from the floor of the banquet hall, which was dyed in numerous colors, began to disappear. As we got closer and closer to the ceiling, everyone sighed in sorrow and exhaled with a sense of loss.
“… ah.”
Ellie, who opened her eyes to the noise around her, felt a strange sense of loss as she saw the magic disappearing. She felt like she had seen a beautiful mirage. She finally watched her own face materialized on her ceiling disappear, and when Ellie couldn’t bear it and squeezed her eyes shut… .
“Hey, look at that!”
“It’s not the end!”
Ellie opened her closed eyes at the cheers of the people.
“… !”
Ellie’s face on the ceiling disappeared, but there was a huge, blue moon that filled the banquet hall. And the moonlight, like the lights on a theater stage, selfishly only reached the two people.
Numerous students around looked at the two people in the dark, and the girls gasped as Ellie and Ross’ bodies slowly emerged. They screamed and hit each other on the shoulders. Several male students were trying to take a peek under Ellie’s skirt, which was floating up to the ceiling, but suddenly they lost sight of her as a sparkle flashed before their eyes.
“Ahh! my eyes… !”
“My eyes hurt!”
“I can’t see anything!”
As the murmur grew louder everywhere, Ross, who had risen above the banquet hall, shouted.
“If anyone tried to look under Ellie’s skirt, I temporarily blinded them with magic!”
At those words, the murmur disappeared and the students who were touching their eyes looked at the ceiling without any problem.
“Oh, I guess I got dusty for a moment.”
“When I said my eyes hurt…” “Because the two of them were so beautiful.”
“Hmm, can I see clearly too?”
“… “You’re looking at me now.”
From noble mtl dot com
“ah.”
Leaving the commotion behind, the two faced each other under the huge blue moon in the ceiling. Ross scratched the back of his head at Ellie’s tightly shut lips and slightly furrowed brow.
“Well, Ellie… “Aren’t you angry?”
“ha?!”
Ross quickly looked to the side in response to Ellie’s reaction and scratched his forehead. Ellie, who was quietly looking at Ross, felt like sighing at the sight of countless students looking at her from below… Her shoulder somehow felt a little good. Everyone is looking at them. Ross, who also showed great magic, envied himself for being courted by her.
…Hmm, maybe that won’t be so bad?
If it had been just an ordinary confession, Ellie would have somehow made Ross drop out. Not only did I feel the deep emotion left behind by the magic that remained clearly in my mind, but more than anything, I was very curious about the secret that made the inferior and foolish Ross suddenly become a magical genius.
The Ross in my palm, who I thought knew everything, suddenly completely changed… It’s natural to be curious. And Ross, who implemented such wonderful magic, still seems confused by himself… ?
“…What are you doing?”
Ellie, who pretended to be annoyed and controlled the twitching corners of her mouth, spoke bluntly, and this time Ross, who had been scratching his nose, shrugged his shoulders and responded.
“Uh, uh… ?”
“You’ve come this far, so you don’t have to do anything to get it done! Are you just going to end it here?”
“I didn’t think about what’s next… ?!”
This idiot, really!
Ellie pursed her lips and muttered ventriloquically with her mouth closed.
“… kiss.”
“Didn’t you hear me clearly?”
“Kiss me now.”
“Uh, uh, kiss me… ?”
When Ellie gave him a sharp look, Ross, who was convinced that the answer was correct, bowed his head slightly towards Ellie in doubt.
‘Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Are you going in with your lips open? Or do you open your lips when they touch? What timing is the tongue? Are you holding your breath? ‘Is it OK to breathe through the nose?’
While Ross was asking the onlookers what to do next, Ellie suddenly reached out and touched his lips. The scent of strawberries immediately hit Ross, and his mind turned pale.
The moment Ross and Ellie’s lips overlapped, everyone in the banquet hall applauded with enthusiastic cheers and happy screams, but Ellie’s voice was the only thing that could be heard in Ross’s ears due to his reduced intelligence.
Ellie parted her lips and said:
“I had my first kiss in front of everyone, so now I have to take responsibility, right?”
While smiling like a devil.
“You are mine now.”
So Ross smiled stupidly and answered.
“Yes, I like it too!”
