Episode 199
Mika looked forward to it.
Ray Vallière could kill me.
Ray Vallière would free me from this boring life.
But not even Ray Vallière could kill me.
Instead of being liberated, he died by my hands.
I know that the more Ray Vallière bleeds, the stronger his magical power becomes.
But isn’t that meaningless if you die ‘instantly’?
No matter how much magic you have, you can kill Ray Vallière if you die so quickly that you can’t even use magic.
“… How long will I… … .”
The hope of escaping a fate filled with the blood of others was completely destroyed when Ray Vallière died.
Mika looked up at the night sky with unfocused eyes.
There were no tears.
There was only a vain smile hanging from her mouth as if nailed to it.
-Quad!
“… … ?”
―Kwasik!
“… uh?”
It was then.
At that moment, the sound of bone meeting bone and flesh was heard, and stones rolling on the ground.
Mika turned his eyes filled with emptiness towards the place where the sound came from.
At that place… … .
“Mikaaaaa… … !!”
Ray, who had obviously killed her, creaked like a ghoul just crawling up from the ground and called out Mika’s name with a groan as if his whole body was being used.
A large amount of blood was still pouring out of his neck.
The amount of blood loss was such that a person could never stand or survive.
“… also… Incredible.”
Until now, among those who were convinced that Mika was dead, there was no one who was not dead.
Her dagger clearly pierced his throat.
As evidence, he was still bleeding like a waterfall from his neck.
How on earth are you alive?
-Whoosh!
At that moment, Ray stood up like a ghoul and grabbed Mika by the neck at a speed that the eye could not follow.
Due to the momentary panic and Ray’s speed, she was unable to avoid it and was caught.
“Big!”
At first, Mika resisted Ray’s hand strangling her, but soon realized it was pointless and gave up resistance.
Mika was relieved that he could finally die now as he looked at Ray’s red eyes, filled with murderous intent, anger, and the hunger of a predator.
“Mikaaaaa… … !!!!!”
Ray squeezed Mika’s neck.
Saliva flowed out of his mouth like a starving animal, as if he was going to eat her at any moment, and his grip on her neck became even stronger.
The moment she sensed death, a shadow emerged from beneath her feet and turned into a sword, stabbing Ray’s body from all directions.
But Ray didn’t care.
Rather, the grip on Mika’s neck only became stronger.
‘also. ‘You are the one who cannot even stop my curse.’
Does it mean the curse can’t stop him, or does it mean he can’t stop the curse?
Only she doesn’t know what that means.
She quietly closed her eyes.
but-
“Yumma. Don’t close your eyes. “I won’t kill you.”
“… … ?”
At the same time that Rei’s usual voice returned, the hand that was holding Mika’s neck relaxed.
And right after that, there was a clicking sound and intense pain hit her forehead.
“ouch… … .”
“Giggle. Are you saying that when you are sick, you are also sick? “Are you sure I’m going to kill you?”
“… “Aren’t you going to kill me?”
“I won’t kill you.”
Ray smiled mischievously and stroked Mika’s head.
However, Mika seemed to not like his kindness and slapped Rei’s hand away.
“why… Why don’t you kill me? They killed all the other imperial assassination squads… … .”
“Are you the same as them?”
“What’s different? “I also killed people indiscriminately.”
“I also killed him mercilessly.”
“… … .”
Mika got up from his seat, probably because he thought they couldn’t communicate.
“Yumma, where are you going?”
“It’s enough now. “If Master Ray doesn’t kill me, he has no reason to remain in this country anymore.”
“You want to leave this country? Why do you want to die so much? “Well, you have to explain the reason so I can solve it.”
“There is no solution other than death.”
“You had a rather frustrating personality, didn’t you?”
Ray expressed his frustration by pounding his chest.
Mika kept his mouth shut and tried to leave…
“Hey, Mika. wait.”
“why.”
“3 days. “Come to the place I told you in three days.”
“… ? “Why me?”
“I will solve the problem you have.”
“Did I explain what problem I had?”
“If you don’t tell me, I will find out for myself.”
“how?”
“Somehow.”
Mika was so embarrassed that he couldn’t speak.
‘Somehow’.
“Wouldn’t it be hard to figure it out?”
“That’s nothing for you to worry about, it will come out in three days. Understand?”
“Why do you go to such lengths? “Isn’t it good from Ray’s perspective because without me, you have one less student to manage?”
“You helped me. “Then wouldn’t it be my duty to help you too?”
“Do human duties have any meaning to you, Ray?”
“In a way, I am also human.”
Ray smiled mischievously, looking at Mika with a bloody face.
Mika, who had already tried various methods against Ray, asked in a resigned voice.
“What are you going to do? “As I will tell you in advance, I have tried every possible method.”
“I am a genius and the strongest mage in this country! “There is nothing impossible for me.”
“… “You suddenly became the King of Jabbuk.”
“It was like that originally. Anyway, come out. “Don’t you want to solve your problems too?”
“… … .”
“I guess that’s right. Well, you don’t have to go to school for 3 days, so spend your time looking around. “To make me want to live.”
“… … .”
Mika left without answering Ray’s words.
Ray, who remained there, entered the pickpocket’s hideout where Mika had come out.
When I entered, I found Kia still sitting in the corner of the hideout, shivering.
“Kia. are you okay? huh? Oh, I see… “Is this why it was like this?”
Traces of Mika’s incident.
Ray walked past the unconscious pickpockets and approached the bleeding pickpocket to check his breathing.
“hmm… “He died very cleanly.”
Ray got up without a big deal and approached the leader of the pickpockets.
He too was trembling like Kia.
There was some kind of liquid between his legs… … .
“Oh, some people! “Is your grown child urinating?”
Ray inadvertently stepped on the liquid and shook his leg in surprise to shake it off.
Then he grabbed the leader by the collar and shook it back and forth.
“Hey, don’t act like you fainted. “Get up.”
“eww… Ahh?! why… Why are you doing that? … .”
“From now on, tell me everything you saw here. If you tell them properly, they will immediately hand you over to the knights, and if you are caught misbehaving, they will punish you one by one, so just tell them what you saw. okay?”
“Yes?!”
In response to Ray’s intimidation, he answered honestly what he had seen.
Ray, unable to find any disjointed parts in his words, confirmed that his words were true and called the knights.
He then approached Kia, checked her condition, and confirmed that she was okay. He grabbed both of Kia’s scared shoulders and stopped her trembling.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Kia. Wake.”
“Ugh… Ray… … .”
“are you okay? “It doesn’t look like you’re hurt anywhere, but are you able to stand up?”
“The legs… Because it doesn’t move… … .”
“hmm… Is it because I was so surprised? I will carry you on my back later, so listen to what I say now. Kia. A favor I asked you before. remember?”
“Ray… Ah yes… “I remember.”
“Can you keep that request?”
“… I do not know.”
Kia was still scared.
I even broke into a cold sweat and closed my eyes.
It wasn’t the first time she had seen a dead person in her life.
However, if you catch someone you know, or even a friend who has been in the same class for over half a year, brutally killing someone or trying to kill someone again. Is there anyone who wouldn’t tremble like this?
Even if you’ve recently had a fight with that person, you’re probably going to feel scared even though you know it won’t happen.
Ray knew how Kia felt.
but-
“Kia. Kia Siris. Wake. “Listen to me carefully.”
“yes… … .”
“I’m not telling you to get used to people dying. But know this. “As long as you see and learn magic that can kill people, if you get scared like this every time something like this happens and you faint, you’re disqualified as a mage.”
Ray spoke to her in a serious manner, different from when he spoke with Mika earlier.
Kia spoke with her eyes tightly closed after hearing Ray’s words.
A few tears were flowing from the corners of her eyes.
“that… then… Will I also have to kill someone someday? Become calm even when killing people… Should we take it for granted?”
“That’s not what I’m saying. Don’t overinterpret it. Take my word for it. Kia, your strength lies in goodness. So, you can’t help but be more repulsed by people dying than other people.”
Ray continued speaking firmly.
“That’s not a disadvantage, it’s an advantage. What I want to say is… I don’t mean to think nothing of it. “I’m just saying, judge the current situation and think about what is more urgent and what will make you grow more.”
“… … .”
“It’s okay to be scared. It doesn’t matter if you fall. But there is something more important to you now than that. You can clearly consider right and wrong later. I’m not saying kill people. “I’m not telling you to be calm, do you understand?”
“… yes.”
Kia nodded heavily.
Ray smiled softly as he looked at Kia and continued speaking.
“good. I’m going to find out about Mika starting today. She needs to find out what kind of life he’s been leading and why she wants to die. And that too within three days.”
“main… You want to die? “Mika, that kid?”
“okay. But since I’m not an Innocent right now, my authority to gather information is quite limited, right? So you need to help.”
“my… “What can I do to help?”
“If you don’t have enough authority, you should at least have more manpower.”
Ray said to Kia with a grin.
Kia seemed a little relieved by his usual smile and her trembling stopped.
“good. Then, please help me with the investigation starting tomorrow. Are you fine?”
“yes… Yes, yes!”
“okay. “I’ll do the rest, so you can wait a bit.”
Ray left Kia feeling relieved and left to meet the knights.
At that time, Kia grabbed Ray’s collar.
“Re… Ray.”
“huh?”
“that… excuse me… together… “Can you please stay?”
Kia thought her request would be rejected.
Still, I didn’t want to be here alone.
But surprisingly, Ray accepted Kia’s request.
“… Hehe. okay. “If it is a teacher’s duty to accept foolish children.”
Ray sat down next to Kia.
Kia leaned on Ray’s shoulder.
Shoulders that have become hard due to hard training, are too hard to be used as pillows… … .
For some reason, Kia felt just as relieved to lean on that shoulder as she did to be hugged by her parents.
