Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

Arcdin (8)

In autumn, the leaves fall and the leaves fall. Fallen leaves pile up and pile up and give me a rustling sound when stepped on.

crumble.

It still is.

The sword flies through the air towards Professor Akdin.

The professor slightly twisted his body to the side and then struck the sword.

Kang, Caan!

After that, he twisted the sword wielded by the professor diagonally to change the path.

It is an immediate situation. Life and death come and go with a single mistake.

Magi tied to arms and legs ran wildly.

They don’t want to escape, they just seem to rejoice.

The longer this fight lasts, the more satisfied Magi will be.

But.

It doesn’t go the way Magi wants.

“Cuckoo!”

dump

Professor Akdin fell to the ground. His sword is bouncing away and flying.

I held out my sword at him. The win will be split.

Professor Akdin moved his gaze following the sword and then looked at me.

His hands are covering his stomach. My sword is wounded

“In the end, you won.”

“… … .”

“If you were Deron, even if you hadn’t been at the academy, I think you would have reached a higher level.”

I shook my head once. Professor Akdin widened his eyes.

“It is because of your lessons and advice that I have reached the advanced level and have been able to control this power. Without lessons and advice, no one can guarantee that I would have reached the advanced level today.”

“… is it.”

nodded. The genius of Deron’s body.

With this overwhelming talent, he will surely reach the advanced level someday.

However.

‘That’s probably not the time.’

A huge wall leading to the advanced level, which was not felt in the intermediate level.

I don’t think I’m going to break through that wall by myself.

The advice of Professor Akdin and Aksius, coincidentally, the situation in Winter Castle only led me to a higher level.

“So you don’t have to worry. You were a good professor and a good teacher.”

After a moment’s hesitation, I added.

“To me, too.”

After hearing my words, Professor Akdin looked at me as if stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“Ah ha ha ha ha! Hearing all these things from that Deron Phylasia. Are you sure today is the day I die?”

“You seem to have no intention of changing it.”

“Yeah, no. didn’t you tell me What is lost is lost.”

Professor Akdin picked his breath. Blood was dripping on the ground.

The wound will gradually grow. He spoke again.

“I gave up the present and chose the past. And now, the present I gave up has come to me.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t that meant to be punished? The price of giving up the present. The price I paid for bringing back the past.”

“You don’t have to be punished for that. If only I could break the occult.”

“Deron.”

Professor Akdin calls my name and looks at me.

There is something worn out in his eyes.

“Just kill me. I had no reason to live after losing Lily.”

“Did you think you were going to die already?”

“Cluck, there’s no way I can defeat you. I wanted to fight a sword at least once before I die.”

sighed. I did my best, but the professor’s heart was strong.

He was already ready to die. Realizing that life is not worth living.

raised his sword.

Professor Akdin chuckled and muttered to me.

“If it’s okay with you, I’ll just throw my daughter’s ring into my graveyard.”

“What does your daughter’s ring look like?”

“It’s a ring with a red gem in it. But strangely, the closer you put your hand, the brighter it gets.”

no way… .

I nodded.

I think I know where the ring is. Professor Akdin closed his eyes as if satisfied.

He then swung his sword towards the professor’s heart.

pooh.

“Deron!”

At the same time, I turned around at the sound I heard in my ear.

Agnes, Adele, Sophia, Erina.

All four people who were sent to prevent the secret magic and did not want to show this image saw this appearance.

It’s hopeless.

**

Before anyone could speak, Adele was the first to run.

She ran and sat right in front of Professor Akdin.

shudder.

To stop the blood, he placed his hand on the professor’s chest and used his divine power as it was.

His clothes were torn on the floor as he ran right away, but Adele didn’t care.

“shit… shit!”

However, the divine power did not work. Something gnawed at Professor Akdin’s wounds, interfering with the healing of divine power.

pish.

Blood splashed on her face. Adele clenched her teeth and slammed the divine power into her body.

The ends of her hair turned golden.

Just before returning to Rebecca, not Adele, Deron opened his mouth.

“Stop it.”

“You shut up. The professor will treat you first and explain what the situation is… .”

“It was the professor’s request.”

In an instant, the divine power that was hitting Professor Akdin stopped.

Adele looked up at Deron as if she was talking about something.

“It was a request that I did not tell you, but only to me. He asked me to stop myself.”

“Well, it can’t be… .”

“The occult can only stop when the caster gives up or dies.”

As soon as Erina heard the story, she slumped into her seat.

Sophia looked up blankly at the sky.

Agnes looked at Professor Akdin with a grin on his teeth.

And Adele was still pouring divine power into the Professor’s body.

“I can save you… .”

“Stop.”

It was Professor Akdin who stopped Adele from using her divine power with her half-opened eyes.

The professor moved his arm to grab Adele’s hand, even as blood was dripping from his mouth.

“professor… ?”

“Stop… said.”

The professor’s voice trembles. Before dying, he looked around.

The students he taught are all in tears as they sit here.

Although not all, it is a constant fact that those present here are his disciples.

“professor. stop… ? What the hell is that?”

“Didn’t Deron tell you? It was my request and he only granted it.”

hands are trembling Professor Akdin noticed that Adele was trembling, not his own.

“Are you asking me to die like this? People die?”

“Yeah, I’m really sorry for Deron, but I used a forbidden magic trick. You have to pay the price.”

Sophia shook her head violently. She is known for being intelligent when it comes to magic.

“Even if the caster doesn’t die, if he gives up the secret, it disappears. Then the professor… .”

“I don’t think so, Sophia.”

I feel like I’m telling the same story over and over again.

Professor Akdin raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

“I will give up the secret to saving my daughter. Giving up my daughter once is enough. It’s not an experience you can go through twice.”

Sophia shut her mouth. Agnes didn’t want to face Professor Akdin, turning his gaze away.

Erina was in tears.

Professor Akdin looked around all of them.

“then… Are you satisfied with this?”

“Well. I would be lying if I said that dying was satisfying.”

“There must be other options. Those options are all alive, so you can choose.”

Adele was crying. Tears drip down her skin. The ends of her hair are golden because she used too much divine power.

Looking at the tip of her head and Deron looking at Adele with a bitter expression.

Professor Akdin realized who Adele was.

“There will be many options. As long as I’m alive, I have plenty of options to choose from. I can teach you, or I can earn the achievement of teaching the monster that was out there trying to live on its own.”

take on life It was for that reason that I asked Deron.

Professor Akdin was also a murderer.

That’s why I know all too well what it means to kill people.

‘Taking someone’s life and putting it on my back.’

In a nutshell, murder means carrying the rest of the person’s life on their back.

Dozens of lives are already on his shoulders.

heavy and brutal

“But I am very tired. I am not confident that I will choose that option and step down the road again.”

What has been carrying that burden so far has been perhaps just a kind of inertia.

Lily was the only meaning of life to Professor Akdin.

“so… I’m getting nervous and I’m going to take a little break.”

As Professor Akdin said so, he nodded lightly to Adele, no to the saint.

The saint accepts his greeting even with tears in her eyes.

Professor Akdin shook his head.

Erina catches her eye. Sophia was moistening her eyes, and Agnes was trembling.

“Agnes.”

“… .”

“Fear death. It’s a place I have to go someday, and even if I choose to go, death is always something I’m afraid of.”

Agnes then turned to face Professor Akdin.

She kept her mouth shut and opened repeatedly.

“Nevertheless, death is something to be overcome. Life and death are something we must face in our lives, but we cannot live with them.”

Before I die, as a teacher, I can give you a few simple words of advice.

For Professor Akdin, that was enough.

“Sophia, you need to empathize with people. Even if you are a magician, if you judge only too rationally, it will be difficult to remain as a person any longer.”

“… .”

“And Erina. you… .”

The moment I was about to give Erina a few words of advice, something caught my eye.

red ring.

It was her daughter’s keepsake and the item she had been looking for.

“… … .”

Looking at Deron, he coughed a few times before turning his head.

By the way, had he already saved his daughter’s belongings?

Professor Akdin quietly closed his eyes as he thought so.

Thump, Thump, Thump.

The beating heart stops beating, and the accident slowly stops.

What comes cold is fear, and what comes next is solitude.

Death is scary and lonely.

But.

Professor Akdin looked.

Beyond the dark world, a ray of light passed by for a moment.

brown hair. A small but unforgettable finger.

His death was not fearful, nor was he lonely.

Finally, the story of a professor’s life came to an end.

終章.
