chapter 22
22 – Episode 22 Reversed.(3)
Ah, the teenager’s body is updated.
When I fell asleep after singing until my strengthened vocal cords exploded and stimulating kimchi fried rice and pork cutlet, I honestly decided that I would humbly accept today’s death.
However, to my surprise, thanks to the combination of the strengthened healing power of the saint’s will and the fantasy of being a teenager, my body was able to face today without any pain other than a bit of a sore throat.
Actually, if I had done something like this when I was possessed, I would have searched for it, so it seemed that my efforts so far were rewarded rather than the body of a teenager, but what does that matter?
Anyway, being healthy is a good thing.
“Uhhhhh.”
However, there was a superman who paid the price of the pleasure he experienced for the first time with his whole body.
“So I told you not to eat spicy pork cutlet.”
The loser who just ate the pork cutlet and called me a bitch, and ate the spicy pork cutlet without a stomach protection system, was still screaming silently on the bed in exchange for deviation.
Yes. Eating spicy food is also eating, but a more heinous fear comes the next day.
You probably want to go to the bathroom, but you’re going to be shy because I’m there, so you’re holding back.
It was quite pitiful for a heroine to use her superhuman patience in a place like this.
It’s okay. Even the heroine has to go to the bathroom. I can understand everything.
But I can’t forgive you for calling me a bitch.
“Noisy…”
Well, actually, it did, but soon Honey will find her freedom.
I’m going out today because I have something to do.
Actually, you don’t have to go out yet, but it’s a big deal if you mess with it and your liking goes down like the original Lilac.
If he decides to let go of the knife, he will die.
“Where are you going…”
But unexpectedly, Hani, who thought it would turn off as soon as possible, grabbed me.
“Huh? I’ll go out for a while and come back around evening.”
“Merona when you come.”
“Yeah, since I’ll be back late, I think it would be better to buy something myself, but I’ll buy something soft.”
“Eh.”
*
There are several purposes for coming out today, but the first of them is to solve my doubts.
A simple question.
I was able to use my talents.
I could handle magical powers too.
Although his body is still filthy, he is getting better and at this level, it can be said that he has almost the basic knowledge as a cadet.
But there was still something I wasn’t sure about.
Is it really possible for me to fight? Is a natural question.
There are ways to overcome physical limitations or skills, but it was questionable whether fighting to the death itself, not sparring, would be possible for me who lived in a normal and peaceful world.
At the entrance ceremony, Choi In-ho faced Lilac, and Professor Cathy dealt with the enemy in the dungeon of the saint where goblins appeared.
Yes. I had never really fought a monster, let alone a villain.
If I suddenly go into action next week, will I be able to move well?
Today I was thinking of doing an experiment on this.
The place I found was the Academy’s VR room.
Even though it is a VR room, it is not a space for play. It is a simulated battle simulator in which real monsters and monsters as well as criminals are implemented with high reproducibility.
After sitting on the device and operating it, I deliberately called up the data of a villain with a completely unknown name among the registered guys.
The moment I set the device’s pain setting to 100%, the scenery changed and I was able to face him in a stadium-like place.
“What is it, a kid?”
Okay, it sure looks like a person.
Although it won’t be the same as reality as long as you know it’s an illusion created by the device, it seemed like this would be enough for an experiment.
Thanks to the faithful performance of the device, dry wind and dust felt surprisingly realistic.
The unknown villain’s weapon is a knife like mine, and since it’s an E-class villain, it won’t be that strong.
As he strengthened his eyesight through reinforcement, the world flowed slowly and his movements were clearly visible.
“Sweeup, consider meeting the elder as bad luck.”
What about the elders?
He jumped at me.
The way he wielded the dagger was as slow as mine, but the death in his eyes was like that of a real criminal.
After avoiding the clumsy attack, I hit the stomach with my fist, and it gave me a surprisingly realistic feeling.
It seemed like I was able to hit people without any burden.
While subduing the struggling guy, a sharp pain rose from the knife’s cut, but except for him, he was able to subdue him smoothly.
The problem starts here.
“You bastard! Won’t you release this!? You fucking bastard!”
The cuts from the blade are painful, and the fist that struck him is also throbbing.
I was momentarily hesitant about the reality that gave me the illusion that this place was really real.
Actually, it is.
You didn’t have to kill the villain.
Even in the original work, the number of villains Lilac killed can really be counted on one hand.
If you moderately suppress it and neglect it properly, you will be arrested and sent to prison.
“Uh…? Why don’t you fucking put that down?”
However, the hesitation was only momentary.
That’s why in the original work, Lilac had to repeat penance countless times.
That’s why this time Choi In-ho got a chance and was able to escape again.
I made up my mind and stabbed the neck of the restrained guy with a knife.
A strangely unpleasant sensation ran up my arm, as if piercing thick meat with bones, but it wasn’t unbearable.
Befitting the name of the best academy, Raylan Academy’s training facilities boasted of great quality, and I was able to watch the villain die.
So many things passed by in an instant in the gaze of the villain who couldn’t even scream, but in the end he was soon immobilized.
It wasn’t a pleasant sensation, but it also didn’t feel like an unbearable fucking blow.
At the end, the corpse changed into light particles and scattered, breaking the immersion, but if you practice at least this, it’s better than not doing it.
The uncomfortable feeling will soon get used to and disappear.
It was always important to think that way.
“…Doesn’t the academy have to have some kind of pleasant mental safety device?”
*
Actually, the second goal is not a big deal.
I just go to the mart and buy stuff.
“Please count this and this.”
“Are you going to the mountains?”
“Yeah, something like that. Sometimes we have to save them before they get wet.”
“Looks like an academy cadet, do bugs come out of the dormitory too?”
“Ah, the dormitory is on the clean side, but the main building is spacious, so it came out a little.”
“Oh, well, there are people who buy it every year. I asked because it was a bit early.”
“I am a bit sensitive to bugs.”
“hahahaha, a hero cadet hates bugs. I can’t go to the jungle.”
“I will.”
It was just the right time for me as I went outside after accepting the mart’s jokes.
When the sunset started to set, there was a guy in the park in front of the mart.
The biggest purpose of today’s outing, and a meeting pretending to be a coincidence that can be said to be the main topic.
“Whoa.”
Lilac.
On weekends when he has no appointments, he visits his parents’ house outside the academy and practices in a nearby park.
He said that it was the place where he first awakened his talent, so he felt that he performed better there.
It was exactly what I saw in the novel.
For a moment, I watched the original protagonist of this world practice his sword.
Slowly, but accurately, drawing his sword, his sword fell.
The sight of him holding his breath and swinging his sword, closing his eyes as if not to allow even the slightest trembling, seemed very serious even to me, who was unfamiliar with swords.
You might say that he is so polarized by a simple downward slash, but his efforts are clearly visible because he is in a rather simple stance.
“Whoa.”
But he sighed again.
It seemed he didn’t like it.
“Lilac?”
I’m sorry if I interrupted him when he started swinging his sword again, so now was the perfect time to talk to him.
“Oh, Sohyeon!”
Originally, the guy had a strange attitude towards me, but after I said that it would be okay to help him because he would forgive his butt, he became very likeable.
Be burdened.
“Were you training?”
“Oh, right. How do you see it all here Did you have something to do nearby?”
“Oh, I was living for a while.”
“Anyway, it’s nice to see you like this. Hey.”
I could have thought that my training was interrupted, but he greeted me without any hint of that.
I’m sorry.
I’m going to use you from now on?
“Hey, Illak. Do you have time next week?”
“Huh? Next week? You might be a bit busy on the weekends, right?”
“No, on weekdays. Speaking of autumn, the bullying seems to be a little worse than I thought.”
Actually, I don’t know if it’s serious or not, but maybe it’s serious?
“…Really?”
I already don’t like it because I’m worried that the bastard isn’t the main character.
“So, I’m going to gather a few kids who have good time and give them simple comfort. In times like this, even just one or two kids who seem to be on your side makes a big difference.”
“Oh, hey. That’s fine, but would the kids want to do it together? I’m fine.”
“Actually, I’m a sucker for you, too, but I still need to gather a few more people.”
“Should I ask too?”
“Ping…No, don’t call Lee Yu-na.”
I almost called it a pink chihuahua by mistake.
“Ping…? No, but why?”
“Would he be jealous just seeing you trying to comfort a girl?”
“Ah, Yuna is a bit picky, but not to that extent.”
No shit.
I know better than you.
“Ah, if you don’t want to call me, don’t call me. He has a direct personality, so if you criticize him, the mood will be bad.”
“Oh, that could be it.”
At first, it seemed like he was dismissing it as a joke, but when he put it mildly, he nodded as if it could be so.
Anyway, he’s a childhood friend, but I can’t deny his personality.
“Anyways, then free up some time. Keep it simple after class on Thursday.”
“Yes, but Sohyeon, you are really nice. I don’t think I’d be able to go that far with the kid who bullied me.”
“If you were better than me, wouldn’t you have done better?”
“Would you like to?”
Yes, that’s why I finally found a clue to get closer, but I was reflecting on it, and I must have cried so sadly that I died.
The scene of hugging an unrecognizable object, apologizing for not being able to save it, and sobbing in tears showed the despair of a boy named Lilac well, at least as a string.
Gaul Kim died and belatedly defeated her culprit, but the fact that she, who had already died, did not return did not change.
It was the first time he lost a person at the academy, so I still vividly recalled that the description was particularly detailed.
“Yes, really, you would have done better than me.”
“Ah, not that much.”
Tsk.
Even if I put Kim Ga-eul second, I have to make sure that this lacking friend’s son doesn’t cry so sadly this time.
*
It was late when I returned from chatting with Lilac.
Hani, who seemed a little better now, poked her head out of the bunk bed.
“Oh, are you here?”
“Eh. I also bought Merona.”
“What?”
“Why, he told me to buy it.”
“Did you really buy this? Anyway, it’s really fucking cute.”
Um, it’s usually a national rule for web novel protagonists to forget things like this, but I’m a sensitive guy, so I don’t forget a lot of promises.
Of course, I was afraid that I would be offended.
“Hey, but aren’t you like that?”
“What?”
“I also heard it through a text message, but Kim Ga-eul said he was looking for someone who knew your number? Everyone was ignoring it, but aren’t they trying to harm you again?”
“Why does he hate me so much?”
“Yes, our Sohyeon is so damn cute. He is quick to notice.”
…Actually, that doesn’t feel too good either, does it? She would have made a frown on her face if she hadn’t known it was a woman.
I’ll laugh again after succumbing to violence.
“Anyway, if something happens to you on Monday, tell me. Oh, it must be the other half. He’s not even in his class, so why is he stamping for work there every day?”
“Well? I guess I still have lingering feelings for Cheon Yu-hak.”
“It’s really embarrassing. Punish.”
But it’s a shame you found my number? Let’s see what you say on Monday.
If you make a mistake, I won’t save you.
No, I can’t not get it because of the lilac, and I’ll have to get it a little later.
