Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

Chapter 105

104. Select

#104. Select [ 1 ] A button that returns the path to its original state.

* When used, it will return you to the starting point.

[ 2 ] (None) Just go

“If I press it, it goes back to the starting point?”

Cynthia tilted her head as she looked at the button that suddenly appeared.

There seemed to be some kind of relationship between the voice I heard just now and the button in front of me.

“Should I press this?”

Cynthia stood in front of the button and stared at it.

“And what do you want? You wanted me to go back to where I started?”

Cynthia thought about it for a moment. Then she came to a conclusion.

“I’ve decided. It looks suspicious, so I’ll just go.”

This is information given by an unknown voice.

I don’t know if pressing that button will do what I want, but one thing is for sure: it could be a trap.

[ Is that your choice? ]

As I passed the button, I heard the voice in my head again. At the same time, I heard a vibration sound like “Kukukukukuku.”

It wasn’t just the sound.

“Huh?”

The entire ground where Cynthia was standing, the world with a white background, was shaking.

The vibrations gradually grew stronger.

The vibrations grew louder and louder, as if the world were collapsing. It was naturally difficult to stand.

Then, once again, a voice spoke in Cynthia’s head.

[ Those who are not honest with their own hearts, pay the price. ]

cost.

A voice suddenly appeared in her head, demanding that Cynthia pay a price.

By the way, aren’t you being dishonest?

What does that mean?

‘…What is happening all of a sudden?’

Cynthia didn’t understand the current situation.

Are you upset because I forced you to make a choice and you didn’t?

‘No… It’s not like I didn’t do it, right? Just going was also an option. So, are you mad because I didn’t choose the option of just pressing the button…?’

It was confusing and nonsensical, but that was all I could think about.

You’re getting mad because I didn’t press the button!

‘… This is ridiculous.’

Cynthia just didn’t like the situation, whether she was being honest or not.

[Pay the price…]

The voice was still ringing, and the strong vibrations were still there.

Cynthia looked back.

The button was still there.

Cynthia, having made up her mind, approached Button.

Try pressing it again?

No it wasn’t.

Boom!

“I’m already upset…! This is so annoying!”

Cynthia’s bow struck the spot where the button was, and with a popping sound, the button disappeared without a trace.

[ Pay the price… … . ]

The voice in my head suddenly stopped as soon as I smashed the button.

“Phew… I feel a little better now.”

Cynthia was very stressed.

That’s because it was almost certain that I would fail this exam.

To be exact, it was about the third practical exam.

Speedrunning has already gone down the drain, and it’s a negative feeling to be in this situation.

As a result of the above reasons… Cynthia reached the point where she thought she would not receive a gift from Han Seong-jin, and her stress level reached its peak.

[ You will pay a greater price . ]

A giant golem appeared in front of Cynthia.

“…omg.”

***

Vice President, Grace.

The only two vice-captains belonging to the Watcher of Destruction.

A world-class villain who has awakened telekinesis and constantly causes various incidents and accidents.

She was right in front of my eyes.

‘… It’s very different from the information in the novel?’

But the Grace in front of me was not the Grace I knew.

First of all, the appearance was different.

Grace, who was described as blonde with blue eyes, was now blonde with golden eyes.

Golden eye.

It is a color of the series that is not generally expressed.

“Ahh… Are you a little interested in my face?”

“To be exact, it’s about the color of the eyes. People don’t usually have golden eyes, right?”

“Hmm. That’s what I was wondering.”

Grace was at the academy as expected.

After meeting her, I disarmed myself and asked to talk. Grace readily accepted.

“But aren’t you curious about anything else? Like why I did this at the Academy? Why didn’t I directly attack Kwon Sung-shin?”

“Even if I tell you, you won’t teach me, right? It seems better to ask other practical questions.”

“You’re smart.”

“You are stupid.”

Grace’s eyes narrowed as I spoke so directly.

“Wouldn’t it be bad if you provoked me?”

“Okay. What are your demands? If you accepted the conversation, doesn’t that mean there’s room for negotiation? The fight between Yoon Hyuk-kwon and Joo Hyun-oh right now seems to be your work. Right?”

“So many questions? Okay… I’ll answer the first question first. No terms, no room for negotiation. Neither. And…”

Grace smiled and tried to continue speaking.

“Wait a minute… There’s no room for negotiation?”

“that’s right.”

“So, are you saying we should see it through to the end?”

Currently, the Academy is in a situation where several buildings have collapsed due to an explosion caused by Grace, and there are numerous injuries.

Also, it was incredibly confusing because of the monsters coming out of the cracks.

“I won’t go all the way. I plan to leave once my goal is achieved.”

“What is the purpose?”

I intended to get as much information as possible from Grace, who answered obediently. I don’t know why, but it didn’t hurt to be cooperative.

“I don’t mind answering, but… don’t you want to? I don’t have any obligation to tell you that, do I?”

“…Do you need anything?”

“Because I needed it… hmm… .”

Grace thought for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“Are you going back home?”

“what…?”

“I mean it literally. Oh! It’s not like I’m keeping the unit waiting at home or anything. It’s not an environment where that’s possible in the first place. It’s dangerous here, so I’m telling you to go somewhere else.”

“… I don’t understand what it means.”

Just hearing it made me feel like I was being told to evacuate to a safe place, so I didn’t understand.

Isn’t the goal of the watchers to get rid of me, who is a hindrance?

Grace had a wild personality and was different from the average member, but in the grand scheme of things, she was no different.

Wishing for the destruction of the world and preparing to make it happen. That is Grace’s purpose and everything.

That’s why I found it strange that it seemed like it was trying to protect me from interfering with it.

‘There is a purpose.’

Grace has been kind to me all along.

And, he tried to protect me.

Combining these two pieces of information leads to one thing.

‘Is it necessary for the purpose of the viewer… or for Grace’s purpose?’

That Jussi and Grace need me.

“What? Did you notice?”

“… In general.”

“This is why I hate smart guys.”

“Don’t be silly. Why did you tell me this?”

Grace deliberately threw information at me to remind me of this fact.

Although he may seem like a very stupid guy, the position of vice-captain is not one that can be achieved through force alone.

It is a position that can only be reached by thinking and thinking.

Even though he may seem stupid normally, he is a guy who knows how to use his head.

“Go away. I have no intention of harming you anyway.”

Grace warned coldly, her smile fading away.

“No harm will come to you. Yoon Hyuk-kwon? We will take this opportunity to clean things up. If this happens, the Ilwol Yoon family will fall into your hands.”

The Ilwol Yunga comes into my hands.

It was a very sweet story. But sweet fruits may contain poison.

If you just swallow it, you might get fucked.

“It’s really creepy. Do you know what will happen if you do as you wish?”

I thought calmly.

This situation is advantageous to me.

Regardless of whether or not she needs me, she can’t kill me. She can’t get through all the guards around me and kill me.

“Don’t look at me with such a scary look? By the way, it’s almost time… Ah! Enough!”

Grace chuckled and clapped her hands.

“What happened?”

I asked, frowning.

“Ah… That? Cynthia’s time to die.”
