I Became the Academy’s Pink Airhead

The prophet deliberately ignored and passed by the spirit of the sword… Verdandi. After all, she was just a ghost guarding the sword left by the hero, without even having a physical form.

“…”

He walked towards the roots of the World Tree like that.

The roots of the World Tree were just a few steps away. If he could extract what he wanted from the chaos insects clinging tightly there… from now on, he just needed to buy time.

‘The only thing left is to stop the possessor’s group. Hilde’s lightning lance – Gungnir. I sealed that at least with [Gleipnir], so she’s no longer a meaningful force.’

The chain magic that bound the wolf god. Though he failed to completely remove her from interfering with this world using [Gleipnir]… there was a significant result.

‘It was worth forcibly gathering and using power.’

The shell of Hilde, at least while the plan progresses, won’t be able to exert the same transcendent power as before sealing her weapon.

“…”

Actually, he wasn’t sure if it was ‘he’ or ‘she’. But judging by how they kept licking their lips and talking about Clara’s taste while fighting, they weren’t in their right mind.

‘Where on earth did that perverted sexual desire come from.’

But it seemed they had formed quite deep connections in this world at least. Characters infatuated with her rushed in like that.

‘That… Clara.’

An appearance changed to an astonishing degree.

That murderous fist and gaze are still vivid.

-We swore to be together for life.

“…”

When he blocked the strongest character Hilde, the weakest character Clara awakened and rushed in.

“…”

This world tormented people with such exquisite [Fate].

No matter which direction you head, everything was set up to return to destruction and futility.

Even universes without Prophet Kang Jinsu were like that.

‘If this world is fated to inevitably perish…!’

Then, I will save you all too.

In an eternal dream,

Enjoying eternal happiness,

An infinite paradise where you can live loving and cherishing each other.

He will break the shackles of this world repeating with the unreasonable fate set by the World Tree.

He will create a new paradise where those he loved… those girls can live like ordinary girls.

Clench—

Recalling them, the prophet bowed his head.

‘Even at times like this, I can’t remember your names.’

[Witch]

[Hero]

[Rider]

The [Three Heroes] who sacrificed themselves without even leaving their own names.

And Ymir… who he thought he had protected.

But sacrificed herself to save the World Tree.

“…”

He will not leave any more sacrifices in this world.

While thinking that.

A small child grabbed his pants.

Whoosh—

No, she couldn’t grab them.

It was like the gesture of a ghost without even a form.

Like a gesture trying to grab a ghost bound to the past.

The pink-haired child spoke quietly.

“Jinsu.”

“…”

“Did you sleep well?”

“…”

“Your eyes are dark.”

He ignored it.

It’s just remnants she left behind.

“Jinsu.”

“…”

“Did you eat?”

“…”

“You’ve lost a lot of weight, you used to be a bit chubby.”

He ignored it.

It’s just a corpse she left behind.

‘Even corpses have [Fate] in this world.’

Fragments of the World Tree… bound to ether.

Becoming cogs to eternally turn this world.

Broken cogs are denied existence.

“Jinsu.”

“…”

“I’m sorry for leaving you alone.”

“…”

“I’m sorry… for making you lonely. For always acting incompetent… for ruining everything belatedly.”

Grind—

Such a familiar way of speaking.

Such familiar worries.

That’s why the prophet growled and said:

“Shut up. The woman I love is dead.”

Verdandi spoke with regret:

“If I had done better, the World Tree wouldn’t be unstable with the power of beast gods like now… Jinsu wouldn’t have been hurt like this…”

“I said shut up.”

“I’m sorry… but.”

The spirit of the sword Verdandi tried to grab Kang Jinsu’s pants. She tried to stop what he was about to do somehow.

But her small hand passed through futilely, unable to interfere with reality. She could only make a faint voice… like a ghost.

Whoosh—

“Don’t ruin the hearts of the children living now…!”

“Shut up.”

“Even if we were sacrificed, that’s no reason to deny everything…!”

“Stop pretending to be Ymir. When you don’t even know who I am.”

“No, Jinsu is the one… not seeing who I am!”

“…”

Whoosh—

“I’m… the remnant left by a miracle – ‘Goddess of the Present’ Verdandi. Carrying on the will of the Saintess who sacrificed herself to heal the World Tree… that was the reason for my existence.”

“…”

“Even if I lost my memories and just spent useless days…”

“…”

“I must stop you now.”

“…”

“Because…”

Whoosh—

“I still love you…”

“…”

Flinch

“…”

The prophet ignored it.

Because everything had already started 1500 years ago, and became irreversible while inhaling the abyss among the chaotic dragon tribes.

So he ignored Verdandi.

And walked forward, vowing once again.

“I…! Will save this world…!”

Chaos insects approached with shining eyes towards the prophet’s outstretched hand. And he raised his head to look at the roots of the World Tree.

“…?”

There… he saw a pink airhead.

She appeared from the sky with a bright light.

“Yahoo—☆ The virgin was surprised to get confessed to~ Ayayay—☆”

“…?!”

“Pink airhead!! Making a dog-like entrance with the time Senior bought me—☆”

“No, where on earth—?!”

The girl wrapped in a shining spiral smiled and threw a murderous fist towards the walking prophet.

When that fist finally buried into the prophet’s stomach, pink ether exploded. A roar like heaven and earth exploding echoed.

Boooom—!!

The prophet instantly distanced backwards.

The straight line of light starting from the ground didn’t stop even after tens of meters. That giant spiral storm isolated the prophet from this land.

“Kuuk—?!”

The prophet’s vision.

The ground and sky flip.

Before he knew it, the roots of the World Tree were far away.

‘Weakening Hilde makes Clara stronger?!’

The prophet floating in midair.

Gritting his teeth and forming hand seals, he took out [Gleipnir].

He screamed towards the World Tree with a heart spitting blood:

“Like this… you’re going to interfere again—!! To prevent me!! From saving them!! You’re going to interfere again—!!”

Rattle—!

And he scattered it towards the ‘front’ where Clara would definitely appear. Black iron chains with each link larger than a person’s head rushed in like snakes.

‘Clara comes in simple-mindedly from the front!’

Clara appearing right in front as expected.

The prophet shot black iron chains towards her.

Flash!

But the Clara that appeared lightly deflected [Gleipnir]. Swinging a fist wrapped in spirals, she rushed in as if dancing in midair.

“This dog-like future prediction…!”

“Adults who ignore a maiden’s confession are bad☆ You unmanly guy—☆”

“Shut up—!!”

The word confession.

It tormented Kang Jinsu’s heart.

So he desperately denied Clara’s words.

“What do you know—!! You’re just a game character at best!! Hilde too!! The possessor too!! All of you just seeing the soft side of this world and getting drunk!! Without knowing the truth of this dog-like world—!!”

Clara avoided all the ancient magics fired like a seizure. She gracefully evaded the huge curtain covering the sky.

Tudadang—!

Countless black magic circles exploded in midair. But they couldn’t stop the girl approaching like dancing in that.

“Yes♪ Jealous? But opportunities to see such a cute girl in this city are rare—☆”

“We’re not communicating!!”

“Fresh girls and old geezers don’t communicate originally—☆”

The prophet desperately scattered [Gleipnir] here and there, drawing black magic circles in between. Each one was a magic circle prepared with hundreds of years of effort.

The dragon tribe’s sealing magic was fired towards the rushing Clara.

Numerous shapes and forms rise up as if to cut through empty space.

It was like drawing lines with a giant black crayon across the vast sky.

Clara shouted playfully, and broke through all of them while wrapped in a giant pink spiral.

“Heyah—☆ Just applying lots of debuffs… how naughty!”

“Shut your mouth…!”

“Shwut yowr mwouth~☆”

“…Tch!”

Swoosh—!!

Numerous magic circles.

Numerous black chains.

Even if all the lines became planes and were fired.

They couldn’t stop the spiral rushing like a single meteor.

Tudatatatatata—!!

Pink and black explode countless times in the sky.

They clashed in the sky where numerous battles were continuing.

In that, the prophet’s body was collapsing.

Because the power contained in each murderous attack was enormous.

Black explosions.

Pink spirals.

All colors blended and drew taiji.

The sky was being divided into two colors.

Tudatatatatata—!!

The scene unfolding below.

The hero wrapped in ruby wings swung her sword and pierced the brown dragonfly’s heart. An elf girl aiming a verdant bow created a giant tree and stopped the other dragonfly.

The dragonfly entangled in the tree screamed.

-Brother—!!

Flames blaze.

The energy of death is purified.

His body had long since become a rag.

The [Hero] has awakened.

The weakest character has become strong.

The possessor was still alive.

Ancient magic was exhausted, and much power and abyss wasted.

‘But…!’

Still, the prophet didn’t give up.

Because there was one thing he had achieved.

‘Even if it’s just one…!’

He will never give up.

The prophet reached out towards Clara.

With a body full of countless black cracks, he vowed with countless sorrows:

“I!! Came to save this world beyond fate—!! I will!! Definitely save everyone—!!”

Along with that cry, a black subspace opened in midair.

An enormous flash incomparable to anything so far was fired from there.

Booooooom—!!

Black flashes passed in front of and behind the prophet.

The attack fired blowing away even clouds was sudden.

Clara couldn’t foresee that overwhelming attack and hurriedly hid her body with spatial movement.

“Oh no?!”

Boooom—!!

The sky split for several kilometers. The black light that left wounds on countless clouds and disappeared.

Into that, one chaos insect that had ingested ‘something’ from the World Tree’s roots flew in. And a giant dragonfly flying unsteadily covered in wounds.

Clara tried to stop them all.

But the distance had widened too much and she couldn’t reach in time.

Even if she approached with [Bifrost], it was too late.

“You, if you claim to be the guardian of the academy city.”

The prophet declared while looking at Clara with blazing eyes.

“Don’t interfere with me.”

“…”

Just witness.

Me… saving the world.

With that, the prophet disappeared into darkness with only wounded achievements.

Watching that sight, Clara muttered bitterly.

“We can’t. You and I.”
