The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

7 – Turning Point

With a good laugh thanks to Rosalyn, I headed to the training room in the basement of the academy.

In order to train on Patulga’s spell book, he needed a training room where he could avoid other people’s eyes, rather than an open space like a gymnasium.

Even in the combat club, there were not a few people who used magic to become magic swordsmen, but it was not basic magic, but ancient magic. Even if I use magic that has been practiced, I will not be able to avoid the eyes of suspicion.

In fact, Patulga’s magic was not completely put into practice. When we headed to Moonlight Village, which was attacked by mutant orcs. Because the portal used in the basement of the academy was part of space magic.

A magic book that is only the basis for portal magic strictly managed by the imperial family. If you caught the eye, you could be attacked by those who recognized the value of the magic book, so you had to grow up avoiding their eyes as much as possible.

Of course, as a non-talented person, all I could do was basic magic….

[Basic Space Magic]

It was a magic that created a portal large enough for an adult to fit within 50m. I spent a long time reading the spells and detailed explanations written in the book, and understanding the complex structure of magic.

Creativity and understanding, as it creates magic in the space itself. Strict control of mana was required.

Based on my magic power written on the status window, I calculated it with the help of the [Basic Magic Theory] Book I put in the space storage. Right now, the time I could hold [Basic Space Magic] At its maximum was only 2 seconds.

Within 2 seconds, within 50M, you have to recognize the coordinates of the entrance and exit, and create a dimensional passage by controlling your magic power.

Even the conception of the aisle itself. I had a trick in my mind to create a passage using planes and lines.

“Haa….”

A spontaneous sigh came out.

Because this basic magic was the most important part of my big plan. I couldn’t give up.

Then there is one thing I must do.

It was a way to believe in Ross’ high intelligence and repeatedly imprint magic on his brain. If you “Understand” The magic even once, you will be able to make basic space magic completely yours.

***

I knew that my mana was low, but after using Basic Space Magic once, I felt mental fatigue that plagued my temples and a sense of lethargy as if my whole body was being weighed down by something.

Without even time to rejoice at using magic for the first time, the maximum time I could hold at the checkout was only 2 seconds.

Just by creating a space entrance and designing a passage in the image. Two seconds passed and the magic could not be completed.

“Whoa…. How the hell are you using it?”

In the end, in order to use space magic, Geass had to play an important role. I don’t know how to use the oath ring.

As I sighed and walked wearily to the combat unit dormitory on top of the hill. I turned my head involuntarily at the voice I heard from afar.

Two people who fit the word good man and woman. Seeing Ellie and Roel talking while walking in sync, I suddenly remembered the nickname we used to call the two together.

Roelly.

It’s like a common nickname called L, which goes into the name. The two looked like a pair of well-matched lovers.

I felt bitter about Ellie’s soaring inferiority complex and Roel’s happy look, but I tried not to run into him.

I’m not sure if it’s because of the weary steps or if I just wanted to disturb the two of them on the one hand. Eventually, I met them both.

“Ross!”

“I see you here.”

At Roel’s voice calling me, I acted brazenly as if I didn’t know if I would run into him.

“Did you enjoy watching?”

I wondered what Roel was talking about. Recalling the excuse I had, I nodded her head.

“Yes. Did you two have fun?”

“I ate chocolate and went to cafes. I wish I had you too. I will definitely buy it next time Ah, the chocolates I packed for you!”

When I asked what he had in his hand, he seemed to have taken seriously the words to pack it, which he replied as a joke.

“Thank you.”

Let’s accept the chocolate. Roel opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain where she and Ellie went today. She looked at something and scratched her cheek.

“Well, I guess I have to go now.”

Feeling puzzled by the sudden abnormal reaction, follow Roel’s gaze and turn her body. There, arms crossed. There were three women glaring at Roel.

Blonde Flavia, silver-haired red-eyed Ilya. And a beauty with gray-colored hair that I’ve never seen before.

With his gray hair and golden eyes, a name immediately came to mind.

She is the princess who will become the emperor of the empire in the future. She is the head of the sophomore department in her second year. Crane La Bella.

She was a heroine with personal greed who wanted to make Roel, her shining talent, her own.

Looking at those three cold gazes. It was to the point where I could feel the fear even though I wasn’t the person involved.

“There are many people waiting for presents. Sorry i’ll go first See you later.”

As Roel approached the women with her arms crossed and said what it was, her chilly atmosphere eased, and her laughter was heard.

Is that Roel after all? With a little recognition in her heart, she turned her gaze to Ellie beside her.

Are you resentful that Roel was taken away? Let’s scratch her head at the sight of Ellie looking at it, biting her lip. Ellie held out her chocolate bar to me, which she was holding in her hand.

“Huh? Are you giving it to me?”

Did you buy a present for me? She is a little delighted and let’s accept her chocolate. Ellie said, keeping her eyes fixed on Roel’s back as she and her girls headed to her dorm.

“You know I hate sweets. Eat you.”

It wasn’t a gift, it was a temporary treat. Still, she didn’t feel bad about Ellie giving her to me.

“Thank you.”

“Yes. I am also grateful for today. Thanks to that, I was able to talk a lot with Roel and her brother.”

Her heart was complicated when she saw Ellie’s pretty smile. She doesn’t know if the emotion she’s feeling right now is joy or jealousy.

“I need to go back to the dormitory. See you next time~”

Seeing Ellie’s back as she receded, she regretted that she should have talked to her a little longer. Maybe it’s more about joy than jealousy.

***

I listen to boring classes hard so I don’t get paid. Every day, she headed to the training room to practice basic space magic.

After a lot of effort, I was able to finally make the exit within 2 seconds. Time was running out to transmit anything, but feeling a sense of accomplishment at making an exit, I leaned against the wall of the training room and took a break.

While taking a break, I called up the setting book and checked things to come. I wondered if the mutant orcs could find a village to attack next.

I hurriedly left the training room and moved to the huge library that even had a separate building. The result of searching for a book related to the map and comparing it with the setting book to find a village that meets the conditions.

I was able to find a village that was supposed to be attacked by the next mutant orc.

The town I stopped by before coming to the academy.

It was a town with the name Destin, meaning fate and predestination.

Since the mutant orc annihilated the village of Destin, he will annihilate an additional 4 villages before dying at the hands of Roel.

That was the original flow, and it was the predetermined destiny. If I change this, the information I know will be messed up and it will be difficult to respond to variables.

Let’s close the book with that thought in mind. As if he had waited, the guilt thing started to come to mind about the town of Destin.

When eating. The innkeeper smiled while giving him a bowl of potatoes, saying that it was a service for first-time guests.

From the children who showed up in the village while playing and looked at me curiously, to the innocent villagers who were farming.

It would have been fine if I hadn’t known. The idea that the village of Destin, where human affection was alive, would turn into a village full of corpses like the village of moonlight, complicated my mind.

I wondered if I had another nervous breakdown at the familiar head pain, so I leaned back in my chair and let out a deep sigh.

It was as if I was being forced to decide how to live my life from now on. Will I stand by the death of people as fate would have it? Or will you go against fate and save people….

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t decide anything. I had to get up.

*

Even the day before the orc attack, I was on average less than 3 hours. I was so deeply troubled that I couldn’t sleep.

Even though I was afraid of the butterfly effect that would happen if I saved the village by blocking the attack of the orcs. The corpses of her mother and daughter she saw in Moonlight Village were a vicious cycle that never left her mind.

Funny, even though he regretted the mother and daughter’s corpses, feeling guilty and embarrassed. When the opportunity to change the situation is presented, I hesitate uglyly.

Suddenly, the memory of that day came to mind. Lycan’s sincere advice to me after waking up from fainting.

“It is your decision whether to sit down at what you saw today or to take a step forward. Whichever you choose, it will be a big turning point for you.”

As the saying goes, the choice you make now can be a big turning point.

No, it might have been a question posed by the being who sent me to this place.

After biting my lips and pondering for several days, I was finally able to make a choice.

In the end, after thinking about it, I decided to save people first. If you leave the town of Destin as it is, you may not be able to endure the guilt and nervous breakdown.

If you know that the town of Destin has been massacred, even now you can’t sleep because you’re nervous. I didn’t know that I would get insomnia at all.

I didn’t even think of stupidly telling someone about mutant orcs or warning them.

If you say you know the future, you think it’s related to prophecy, so the church will definitely come out to investigate, and the churches in this world are no different from fanatics. I had to avoid getting involved with the church as much as possible.

Even if I send a letter to the imperial family or the church anonymously, they will doubt that I know about the mutant orcs and the raid plan and will pursue me.

In the end, the only thing I could choose was how to make the fight between the mutant orc and Roel go ahead faster than planned.

I approached Roel, who was eating with Flavia and Rosalyn.

“… So I decided to buy it.”

“Brother.”

Interrupt Flavia and talk to Roel. Flavia’s face, which had been making a happy expression, turned cold in an instant.

“What is it, junk class?”

Ignoring Flavia’s sarcasm, she greeted Rosalyn with a nod.

“Are you ignoring others just because you are being ignored every day?”

“Speak nicely.”

Let’s think about whether there is a way to fix that slut in Flavia’s constant annoyance. I thought of a way only I could do it.

“If my brother marries Rosalyn, I will congratulate him from the bottom of my heart. But if he marries Flavia next to him, he will vehemently object for her brother’s sake. I know what would happen if I had a family with a woman like that. You know that marriage against family members is forbidden, right?”

Marriage was one of the businesses administered by the church, and the family was not blessed because of the doctrine and problems of forced marriage. Marriage was impossible.

Of course, it remains a formality for now, but Flavia won’t be able to carry her face if I refuse to marry Roel in a fuss at the wedding.

The expressions on the faces of the three people who listened to my words were different.

Rosalind just blushed in embarrassment when she said that she would bless her if she married Roel.

It was only then that Flavia realized that I was Roel’s younger brother. She looked at me with her mouth open in a blank expression.

Roel never expected me to say such a thing. While embarrassed, she showed a look of admiration that her brother had overcome Flovia with her words.

Sometimes I think about it. Why on earth is Roel so proud of his younger brother, who is only a year older? If there is a big age difference, I would understand since I was raised on my back, but it’s only a year difference….

“Anyway, hyung. Do you have time to talk?”

“Well then! Of course. I have to wake up for a while, eat first.”

“Ugh, yes! I will.”

Leaving behind Rosalyn, who was shy in answering, and Flovia, who was still making a foolish expression, she slipped out of the restaurant for a while.

What can I say? Seeing Roel’s innocent expression of curiosity, I felt remorse for deceiving Roel, but I struggled to open my mouth in order to prevent her mutant orc.

“I can help you… brother?”

I had a hard time coming up with the idea of tricking Roel into taking him to Destin. For some reason, Roel’s eyes turned frighteningly ferocious after hearing my words. I moistened my dry lips with my tongue, wondering if he had noticed that she was trying to deceive himself with the jealousy that flowed from her eyes.

“Who are you? The one who bullied you.”

Dududuk- I was rather taken aback by the sight of Roel clenching his fists making a menacing bone sound.

What are you talking about… ?
