An Angel Lives in the Academy

Episode 41: An Angel Walking Outside (1)

The referee spread his palms. Drop by drop, the rain wet the little palm of the boy.

The boy looked at Naiad.

is it raining?

Whether she was crying or not, the referee could not accurately determine.

“Lefriel.”

Her voice was somehow muffled.

“Why did you give up on winning?”

In fact, it is. This simple pudding submitted by the referee could never win the Spirit’s Blessing.

To be honest, this pudding was created by a girl who didn’t know much about food, and even without modern spices, it didn’t taste as good as today’s puddings.

No matter how subjectively Naiad judged it, it was also an event that too many people were watching. Probably, if Naiad is too much to give this pudding the championship, of course it will be a problem.

Then why is the referee… … .

The referee recalled a conversation with Rebecca from an hour ago.

In fact, the professors knew that Naiad often showed a pathetic and weak side that did not fit the position of the king of spirits.

Therefore, he also had a deep suspicion that one day he would surrender to the Demon King’s army. And going through this… … .

Doubt became certain.

The professors decided not to hesitate any longer.

“Niad. I knew it would be like this.”

And Saint Rebecca decided to take on the role.

Since the saint’s despair in the world, such a dark purge like this is because Rebecca often gets her hands dirty.

She no longer healed anyone.

it was just killing

“Where are you going. professor?”

In front of the saint who was so full of life, an angelic boy stood in the way.

‘I’m here to kill you. Why are our professors so utterly cruel? Shouldn’t you be calling yourself an educator while doing this? … ?’

As soon as Rebecca saw the boy’s determined expression on his face, he realized why the boy had stopped him.

“You are unmatched.”

Rebecca’s harsh answer.

Still, the boy asked without backing down.

“Are you trying to purge Naiad?”

“yes. That’s right.”

A knife-like answer.

‘You can’t get rid of Naiad. No matter how pathetic Naiad is, the Spirit King… I mean, there is a demon king officer that only Naiad can get rid of.”

And in the end, even the professors regretted having removed Naiad.

The boy paused for a moment before continuing.

“… Just think again. please.”

“Why? Naiad has already committed great injustice. In order to hide the great injustice, you will commit even greater injustice, and eventually, one day, you will sell this world to the Demon King’s army.”

“What if I admit my mistake?

Rebecca replied coldly.

“That spirit is an arrogant being who was not afraid of even the heavens… He will never admit his guilt.”

“What if not?”

The boy’s expression looked somewhat desperate.

Even Rebecca, who showed a thorough attitude toward others, somehow couldn’t be so resolute to this boy.

“I’ll give you one chance.”

Rebecca turned around and whispered.

“By midnight today, if Naiad publicly admits to his mistake… … .”

She finished speaking as she disappeared into the darkness.

“We will consider this purge.”

In that way, the viewpoint returns to the raining Naiad Forest again.

“Why did you give up on winning?”

From readwn.com

Naiad was looking at the referee.

The boy felt he had to answer the queen’s question.

‘Why did you give up winning? There must be much more angelic power to save you than to win… And if you die in the first place, the protection of the spirits means nothing.’

A thorough pragmatic answer.

But that wasn’t the only reason.

“Have you ever seen the movie Blade Runner?”

From readwn.com

Naiad who likes human culture. As the referee knew, she was known to have enjoyed watching classic movies.

If it’s the classic classic Blade Runner, you’ve probably watched it at least once.

“I have seen it. It was a story about the future unfolding, humans and man-made dolls.”

“Then do you remember the ending of that movie?”

It was raining continuously from the sky.

The rain that ran down Naiad’s face didn’t even know if it was tears or rain.

“In the end, the movie ends with the main character, a detective, meeting the last runaway doll and hearing the doll’s will. Perhaps the last line of the doll… … .”

“In the end, all the precious memories will be lost. Like tears in the rain.”

like tears in the rain.

The referee looked up at Naiad.

“This is why I made this pudding.”

“… yes?”

“I always regretted the ending of that movie. In the end, all the precious memories disappear like tears in the rain… That’s so sad, isn’t it?”

If the referee had not seen the recipe in Naiad’s memory, this pudding would never have come to this world again.

It must have disappeared like tears in the rain.

‘That’s really… … .’

The referee thought of the note the girl had left.

The note and the emotions contained within it.

It just vanishes in vain… … .

That was so sad.

It didn’t matter if I didn’t get angel power. Even if I couldn’t win the Spirit’s Protection with this, it didn’t matter. The referee just wanted to make pudding for the Spirit King.

Of course, the referee will vehemently deny that such a thing is absolutely not true and that he did it in order to gain the angel powers and the network of Niad.

The referee looked at Naiad and said.

“With this, the memory of that child… … .”

The boy smiled slightly and said.

“It won’t disappear like tears in the rain, will it?”

From readwn.com

Naiad looked at the boy with a surprised expression.

“I hope you win the championship for me, this pudding… … .”

Of course, this wasn’t just for Naiad.

The referee was doing this because he could gain angelic powers and also gain the favor of Naiad. Besides, Naiad, who has become good, will be a big trouble for the Demon King.

‘Niadra is the one who has to work hard in the future… … .’

The referee continued speaking while hiding his true intentions.

And somewhere with a goblin-like, no, angelic smile, he held out his hand.

“Apologize for what you did to Marie… If you continue to be kind, I will make puddings often. Can you promise me?”

And seeing that smile, Naiad realized what a real angel is.

‘This is an angel. Even though I tormented myself so much… Forgiving me and bringing back precious memories of that child… … .’

From readwn.com

Naiad embraced the angel’s small hand tightly.

“… All right.”

＜It is an angelic thing to get Naiad to make the right decision!>

＜You have acquired angelic power.>

＜It is truly an angelic thing to repent of the King of Spirits who abandoned his faith in heaven!>

＜You have acquired a large amount of angelic power.>

belief in heaven

The referee could not laugh.

From readwn.com

Naiad first regains the belief in the heavens that even the angel himself does not have.

… Well, it doesn’t matter.

‘I’m sure the message popped up. With this, Naiad was completely on our side… … !’

“I promised.”

With those words, the referee turned around.

So Naiad looked at the disappearing angel. I kept watching the boy disappearing through the pouring rain.

Suddenly the rain stops, and a warm light begins to shine from the sky.

From readwn.com

Naiad ate the leftover pudding.

Because I could eat it again in the future.

“Whoa, I was drenched after only a few minutes.”

The referee came into the waiting room, brushing his hair. One person handing over a towel as soon as the referee enters.

“thank you for your effort.”

The man’s name was Yumari. Yumari asked the referee with a friendly smile as usual.

“So we… Can you win?”

“Wow, is it a win?”

The referee asked from a step away. However, Yumari still smiled and didn’t know how to get away from the referee.

“The referee clearly said that there is a way to win this time under the protection of the spirits. is not it?”

The referee was then able to remember what he had done. ‘Hmm… It’s a pity, I have a method of winning this time under the protection of the spirits.’ The self who bluffed.

The referee took another step back.

Yumari with a friendly smile is more terrifying than Yumari who is in love.

“Are you sure you can’t win?”

“That, that… … .”

Yumari is one step closer.

There was no more room for the referee to escape.

And Yumari’s hand reaching out.

His hand was wriggling as if this was something funny.

‘no way?’

Only then did the referee realize that Yumari was joking now.

‘Yumari is joking? no way?’

Sweat Sweat-

Yumari stroked the referee with an expressionless expression.

“Can you stroke your hair with friends?”

“uh. uh? is it?”

Was it? The referee didn’t really know. I was surprised that Yumari was joking around, so I couldn’t get the words out.

‘Seocheon Yuga is trying to suppress Yumari’s instinct as a dragon… I know that since I was little, I was trained almost like torture… … .’

As a result of that training, Yumari was able to abandon her instincts as a dragon. However, as a side effect, I had no choice but to throw away various emotions as well. Friendship, happiness, wishes, etc… … .

But as a result of one boy beating her heart over and over again.

In her darkened heart, a crack was formed through which a single ray of light entered.

“And it doesn’t matter if I don’t win. The family will punish them for this, but… It was already expected.”

“punishment?”

“Win this spirit’s blessing. This was Yuga’s order. Failed, maybe… … .”

Sweat Sweat-

How long are you going to pet the referee?

“… sorry.”

“It’s nothing for you to be sorry for. The referee tried.”

The referee organized his thoughts.

How can we avoid Yumari from receiving this unreasonable punishment? How can I acquire angelic power by removing the punishment?

‘Clearly, the people who punish Yumari are the Confucian people related to the student council president Yoo Shi-hyeon. then… … .’

To prevent them from punishing Yumari,

It was enough to throw a very troubling situation.

“I have a good idea.”

The referee motioned for a follow up and left the waiting room again. Yumari looked at her back. and.

He brought his hand that was stroking the referee to his face.

There was still a heavenly scent in his hand.

“want to have… … .”

It seemed that this fragrance could withstand any harsh punishment. No, not just punishment, but also in the future life… … .

‘No, this is unavoidable. I have to protect it before it breaks like my mother!’

Yumari was a little startled by the powerful desire that grew in her heart. At that moment, the image of herself entered into her eyes.

Yumari was smiling genuinely, not acting.

But that smile didn’t look innocent at all. Her pupils had turned yellow and looked like those of a snake, and Yumari’s horns grew ferocious and vibrated the mana around her.

“Hey, this isn’t me… … .”

The nature of Yumari, who was trying to suppress it in Seocheon Yuga, began to wriggle.

“You can’t do this.”

Yumari bit her lip and silenced the dragon wriggling within her again.

“Mary! look at me! I have a really good way to feed Yoo Shi-hyun!”

A boy’s voice comes from outside the waiting room.

Yumari immediately left the waiting room with a hardened expression on her face.

The horns were small and the pupils were back to normal. And there was always the same cold expressionless expression.

There was nothing strange about it.
