Chapter 97 – Anti-Antiwar

Episode 97 – Battle against the class

As soon as she saw our reaction, Isis recognized her mistake and spoke gibberish.

“S-sorry. Did your sister say something strange? Okay. There’s no way I’d say something like that when Regina is here too. That’s right. It’s my mistake. I’m really sorry. But you stayed out for two days recently, right? So just in case… Ah! I didn’t do it on purpose. I just happened to hear it, so…”

Her face was red.

If you ask me how bad it was, it felt like I would get burned if I touched her.

In the end, Regina, who was watching, sighed and grabbed her shoulder.

“Isis. Calm down. “Everyone doesn’t think that way.”

“Ah…”

Only then did Isis, finally regaining her senses, come to a halt.

Regina turned her head to us.

“Yes? Prince Ruan.”

“… Yes. “What?”

“Did you say it was Deborah? Is it okay?”

“Ah, four! It’s okay.”

“Did you hear?”

After repeated confirmation, Isis, who was completely genuine, slowly lowered her head.

“Sorry. “Because I misunderstood.”

“No. Well, that could happen. Anyway, it’s important business.”

“Oh, yes! Say. Did you say Deborah? “What do you have to say?”

When asked, Deborah made eye contact with me, nodded her head, and opened her mouth.

“Isis, do you know about the Witch of Starlight?”

“… Starlight Witch? Why is she that person…”

Did she perhaps know her personally?

As soon as the Starlight Witch was mentioned, Isis’s face froze.

‘Does that make sense?’

The Starlight Witch died 20 years ago. At that time, Isis would have been only a one-year-old baby, so even if she had met her, it would be normal for her to not remember it.

Isis glanced at me and then unnaturally looked away.

“Do you know? “The foresight of the Starlight Witch, that’s what I have.”

“You are this generation’s Starlight Witch?”

“I don’t intend to say it in such a grandiose way, but it’s true.”

“But? “It’s not like you saw Luan’s future or anything like that, right?”

“Yes, four?”

Isis’s momentum became sharper.

If Deborah says yes, I wonder how she will act right away. Deborah let out a noise of embarrassment and then shook her head.

“Oh, no. “I didn’t see Luan’s future.”

“Then? “What did you see?”

“That that…” I happened to see my friend’s future her, and there was a bomb planted in the academy. “I came here to ask for help, but maybe I did something wrong?”

In response to her unexpected response, Deborah looked down on her face and shrugged her shoulders.

It was only when Isis discovered moist eyes that she seemed to realize her current state and calmed down.

“Sorry. I made a mistake because I had some bad memories. Rather, a bomb was planted at the academy? “Can you explain in detail?”

“Ah yes. That means…”

Deborah’s explanation was not much different from what she had given me. At sunset, a magic circle unfolds in the sky, and at the same time, bombs hidden in each area of ​​the academy explode.

Isis’s face became serious at the simple, but more threatening explanation than anything else.

“It’s not usually a problem. If this is true, the anti-war war must be stopped immediately. But… If you try to stop it rashly, the guys who sense you might detonate the bomb beforehand. The bomb has to be dismantled in secret… Regina. “Is it possible to receive support from the Knights?”

“Of course. In the end, the knights were also dispatched to ensure the safety of the academy. If I order a search, you’ll have no choice but to put aside what you trust, right?

“Then, please immediately request support from the Knights. And Jenny, please pass it on to the entire student body. If you find anything suspicious, don’t touch it and report everything!”

“Yes! Chairman.”

Isis quickly thought of a countermeasure and controlled the steering committee.

I surveyed the situation for a moment, then waved goodbye and left the Woonwon Barracks with Deborah in tow.

I asked on the way back.

“Deborah. But can’t you ask the owner of the Gray Magic Tower for help?”

“Yes? “Master?”

“Huh. If you’re the owner of the Gray Magic Tower, you probably know it too. Then I think you can help with the bomb search too?”

The Academy is also Roxana’s alma mater. There is no way he would welcome his alma mater and her being devastated by the Dark Church.

There’s even a student here that he cares about so much.

Deborah looked embarrassed at the question.

“That… Actually, my teacher told me never to use the Foresight Eye. Even if it was an accident, he would be very angry if he found out that he had seen the future.”

“Are you saying you’re not going to tell me because you’re afraid of getting scolded?”

“It’s not just that. Actually, Master is very busy these days. You don’t even tell me where you are going. Even if I send a communication, I don’t receive it well? Even now it’s completely broken. “I guess they put a magic blocking barrier in place.”

“Aha, I see.”

If Roxana can’t even talk to Deborah, that means she has to be very strict with her security, and the fact that she doesn’t receive communications means that she’s in a completely isolated space from the outside world .

To sum it all up, there is one conclusion.

‘The illusion maze barrier is being repaired.’

The phantom maze barrier in the back was broken due to something that happened during the vacation, so they must be repairing it and making sure it doesn’t break in the same way again.

It’s really ironic that she can’t get help even though she’s right next to him.

While we were talking like that, we had already joined class 3.

The female students asked me questions with some intent, such as what I was doing so late, but I just ignored them.

In the end, my side didn’t respond, so the other side suffered, but it wasn’t part-time work.

As time passed, Deborah and I went to a restaurant for lunch.

The moment you get your food and are about to find your seat.

“Here! Here! Luan, Deborah! Come here!”

Yas, who had already taken his seat, called to us, waving his dirty beard.

The gathering gaze is embarrassing.

After briefly considering whether to ignore it, I remembered the conversation I had with Deborah earlier and walked towards it.

“Hey, be quiet. “Why is it louder today?”

“Haha! Is that so? Actually, Professor Serlin told me that he saw me again when I won first place. Huh? I think it would be okay to start dating now. What do you think?”

“Huh. There is no hope.”

“Oh, kinda! “I’m asking this seriously!”

“Quiet. Because spit is splashing.”

I sat down, pushing away the clinging Yasu. Deborah is next to Alyssa.

‘Now that I think about it, when will those two reconcile?’

When the rumor spread, they had a big argument once, and I have never seen them mix words.

Although we haven’t met often in the first place, I hope they can reconcile in a reasonable way, seeing as they blatantly only answer to Yuni and Pernia.

It’s not that I want them to get along well, but it’s because I can see the difference from the perspective.

In that situation, the meal ended quickly.

After leaving the restaurant, we went to a bench overlooking the playground.

As we sat there chatting, Deborah found the courage to speak up.

“Hey, everyone. “I have something to say!”

“Huh? What to say? “What is it, what is it?”

“Oh! This is the first time Deborah has said this! “Tell me!”

With a positive response from Uni and Pernia, Deborah carefully revealed her secret.

“Poetry, actually I can see the future!”

“The future?”

“Nyan?”

“What kind of bullshit is this?”

“Yass! “Be careful what you say!”

“…”

A group of people showing different reactions.

Except for me, everyone had a question mark above their heads.

Deborah explained step by step. I don’t know how many times I’m going to explain this today. Just watching from the side is exhausting.

Anyway, once the explanation was over, the group was convinced.

“Well, it was something like that. It must have been a lot of hardship.”

“Hmm… “It’s amazing!”

“Deborah. So can you see my future too? Will I marry Professor Serlyn later? Huh?”

“Yass. Calm down! “You said you had something to say!”

“… “The future.”

Deborah gave her companions enough time to get to the point and then got to the point.

“So, can you all help me? We can’t just sit back and leave it to the student council. I want you to help me find the bomb. Please!”

Deborah bowed her head deeply.

No matter how much of a friend you are, there is no way you would feel comfortable dragging someone into danger.

Of course, the party readily accepted the request.

“Oh, no. It’s okay!”

“I would have been disappointed if I had kept it a secret.”

“Okay! You can’t be a man and pretend not to notice the crisis at the Academy!”

“Huh! Deborah! Let’s find it together!”

“…”

“Thank you everyone!”

A truly refreshing sight.

I felt that the annoying part was over and I stepped forward.

“The explanation is over, right? Okay, now let’s split into groups. We set up an area and search in teams of two. “How are you?”

“Great! “Then who is going with me?”

“Abel! Let’s search together with me!”

“Okay. Uni!”

Abel and Yuni form a group as if they had been waiting for it. While no one was paying attention to Yasu, surprisingly, Alyssa approached Deborah.

“Let’s have breakfast with me.”

“Yes? With me?”

“Why don’t you like it?”

“It’s not like that…”

Deborah denied it as if she was having trouble and secretly gave me a look.

It was a clear rescue signal.

‘What should I do?’

After thinking for a moment, I turned to Pernia, who was observing the situation from a distance.

“Pernia. “How about you team up with Alyssa and Deborah?”

“Like me?”

“Uh. It’s a bit odd to have a man mixed in there. I’m sorry, but I have to ask you a favor. If two people fight, please mediate.”

“… “I got it.”

It’s best to just watch people fight; it’s really bad to get involved.

So, even though Pernia may not have wanted to accept it, she would not have been able to refuse it because she felt guilty about spreading the rumor.

If this happens, eventually my partner will be Yasu.

“Yass. Let’s go.”

“Okay! Let’s find it first!”

“Get serious. “This is not a game.”

“Of course I know! Let’s go!”

I stared at Deborah for the last time and then followed Yas.

‘Well, you’ll figure it out.’

*

Ten minutes after the search began, Alyssa and Deborah walked down the street in silence.

Pernia looked at the two and shook her head.

‘If this is going to happen, why did we become a group?’

I roughly heard that Alyssa was swearing at Luan, and Deborah was protecting Luan, and then an argument broke out.

Alyssa suggested that we join together first, so I thought we would either fight or reconcile, but nothing has happened yet.

Thanks to this, I’m so bored that I almost yawn.

At that time, Alyssa spoke, as if she had read Pernia’s intentions.

“Deborah. “I have something to tell you.”

“Uh, huh? “What do you say?”

“… What happened last time. “I apologize.”

“Apple?”

“Okay. “I think the words were too harsh.”

“Ah…”

Deborah let out a soft gasp of wonder.

The corners of her mouth, which had been sitting sullenly, curled into a small smile.

Alyssa looked at it and said as if making an excuse.

“Of course he…” ” ” I still think that guy is trash. “He just convinced me that you had a problem too.”

“… That’s enough. I was sorry too. “For interfering in the matter between Luan and you.”

“It’s okay. I don’t feel anything now.”

Of course this is a lie.

If she had really told off what happened with Ann Lu, she would have reconciled a long time ago.

She noticed her and hinted at changing the subject.

“You said you could see the future, right?”

“… Huh. But why?”

“Have you even seen my future?”

Alyssa stared at Deborah intently. There was earnestness in her red eyes. Deborah’s answer she alone can give her hope or despair.

Deborah slowly shook her head.

“No, I’ve never seen it. And I won’t see you again.”

“What? Why?”

“What if you knew the future but were told you couldn’t change it? If you tell me to give up everything because your fate is already decided. Then will you accept it?”

“That…”

“I do not want to. So I won’t watch it. I will live without seeing it at all. Then at least you don’t have to feel helpless.”

Alyssa was momentarily speechless.

It’s not because she has nothing to say. Rather, one word continued to linger in her throat.

‘It’s just an escape.’

And even though Deborah did n’t say it in her words, she immediately recognized her thoughts.

“That’s right. A place of refuge. But if I’m in despair, I’ll just run away. I’ll be a coward. So I don’t see it.”

“… I see.”

Alyssa’s shoulders slumped.

Deborah smiled bitterly and soothed her blatant disappointment.

“Don’t be too disappointed. You can shape your destiny. So don’t give up.”

“… “You sound similar to that person.”

“Huh? “Is it him?”

“Hyeon. No, I mean Eunrang. He said something similar when he saved me during training. Don’t look back, look forward. “Don’t give up.”

Alyssa smiled happily, recalling her memories from back then.

On the other hand, Deborah’s expression becomes stiff when she sees that smile. She knows that her Eunrang’s real identity her is Ruan.

And Luan was maintaining a good relationship with Roxana…

“Ah, Alyssa. Do you like Eunrang?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Because your expression looks so bright when you talk about Eunrang. “Do you love me?”

Alyssa’s eyes rolled back. She is diagnosing her own feelings.

And then she waved her hands as if she had reached a conclusion.

“It’s not like that. “I just want to pay back the debt of my life.”

“Really? Is it true?”

“Is that so? Oh, it’s a shame anyway. Actually, I was going to ask you to look into Eunrang’s future as well.

“Uh? “Why that person?”

Deborah’s her face her, which had barely seemed relieved, now looks worried again. This is because she was suspicious of whether she was dreaming of a future with Eunrang.

Of course, it’s just an illusion.

“That’s because I want to know who it is. “There’s no way you wouldn’t be curious when you’re hiding your identity so tightly.”

“… That’s right. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. “Why are you apologizing?”

Alyssa, who did not know Deborah’s true intentions her, was rather taken aback by her apology.

Pernia, who was just watching, chimed in.

“That’s right. Deborah doesn’t need to apologize. “It is Alyssa Danang who she should apologize to.”

“What? I? “She already apologized?”

“So it’s a problem. Wasn’t she asking for that when she apologized to Deborah? “I have no conscience.”

“What? Well, it’s not like that, is it? Don’t catch people in vain. Let’s hurry faster than that. Lunch time will soon be over!”

Alyssa went ahead first, urging her group to change the topic.

Her earlobes were a little red.
