I Became The Academy Necromancer

Chapter 57

57. Counseling

“… … .”

since when

The fact that this girl in front of her began to collapse under her burden.

Dare to predict.

From a very young age, a clever girl would have realized the weight of the burden the world put on her.

So, the girl created another herself.

having nothing else.

Only the pride and responsibility that should be had as a royal family was clearly removed.

If you ask how that is possible, I couldn’t explain either.

However, as if the principle of mana spreading across the continent could not be explained.

Just like we can’t fully dig into the dreams we have in the sleep we always share.

Even a priest who always kneels and prays cannot fathom the will of God.

It was a mental problem that could not be explained by any logic.

However, one thing was clear, it also meant that the girl would not have been able to endure otherwise.

“Eleanor was always trying.”

Even in her dream, she fell asleep while studying in order to show a dignified appearance as a princess.

Even when she couldn’t sleep because she was afraid of nightmares, she naturally sat at the head of her desk and followed Jin-do.

But there was something odd about that look.

She tried to have the basics as a princess, but what she said seemed not to be very interested in it.

It stands out from the questions I always ask about anime characters.

“Before, Eleanor knew that she had no pride or responsibility as a member of the royal family.”

At my words, Eleanor, who was united with the pride and pride of the royal family in front of me, flinched.

“So you must have tried harder. She was a good child, so I tried to force myself to change like this.”

“… … .”

“But it was actually the other way around. She was too aware of her royal duty and it ruined her, so she took it off herself.”

without anything else.

An existence with only the responsibility of the royal family remaining.

This was the true identity of Eleanor right now in front of me.

A cold wind blows.

As if even that was a truly valuable experience for her, she closed her eyes for a moment and tasted it, then nodded slowly.

“Yeah, right. I am the person responsible for the duties Eleanor set aside to survive.”

“… … .”

“Because I was competent. Amazingly, I was able to relieve myself of the burden of my royal duties.”

She declares boldly and confidently. It is assumed that this is the reason for the lack of basic knowledge or creativity.

It must have been that I lacked basic knowledge because I removed only the necessary parts without any superfluities.

“But it is. I am also a person after all. Even if that child forgets, I am also Eleanor and I have no choice but to grow over time.”

Even removed from her royal duties, Eleanor continues to grow.

The burden of being a member of the royal family had disappeared.

Rather, on the contrary, Eleanor began to receive the stress of why she did not have a sense of duty as a member of the royal family.

“Isn’t it funny? At the time, I lost my memory of having a new personality due to excessive stress, and I was following a similar path again.”

In conclusion, Eleanor was an imperfect person.

Because he was so sincere and was able to see himself so objectively.

The standards you set for yourself continue to bind you and put pressure on you.

“If you stay like this, you will end up in the same situation again. So I decided, let me take the body.”

Not a good and weak personality.

The one who rules, takes responsibility, and reigns as a royal family.

“Is that the reason why you tried to make your dreams look like reality as much as possible?”

“Yeah, right. If I was out there, I needed a place for him to be.”

So, I tried to create a new world using dreams as a medium.

A world where fragile but sincere Eleanor can be completely happy.

“That’s why I tried to look like a nightmare. He won’t accept a situation like this where he’s putting his burden on me.”

Eleanor shrugged her shoulders and spoke calmly, but the atmosphere suddenly changed.

“But you ruined everything.”

Eleanor’s fingers poke into my chest.

Her eyes were locked with deep resentment and skepticism.

“I know that? Because of that damn monster called Mac, the other personalities were completely annihilated. Without a trace, neatly.”

“… … .”

“The concept of eating nightmares clashed with each other’s beliefs. Because I, who has a stronger conviction in the initiative of the body, won!”

puck!

Now, he punches his chest with a big punch. But it didn’t hurt.

Rather, her face contorts as if the woman she hit hurt more.

“And! Because he admitted that he was inferior to me!”

“… … .”

“So it’s gone!”

The voice didn’t waver at all. It contains resentment, but it is said that there is no regret.

The small tears that had risen had already disappeared.

With an expression as cold as the cold night air, Eleanor declared.

“It’s better. If you are a member of the royal family, you should be able to sever your own weaknesses.”

“… … .”

“Because that is my position. Because we have to prioritize the kingdom over the existence of Eleanor. If it’s natural, then it’s natural.”

Eleanor turns around and heads for the balcony railing, saying she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.

Now that she had no weaknesses, she could actually be seen as better than the original Eleanor.

I won’t be shaking anymore.

You won’t even doubt yourself.

He will become a ruler with leadership and will easily get the position of president of the academy.

And.

It will incite the students to sow the seeds of rebellion.

He will be obsessed with the stubbornness that he can rule the kingdom much better than his brother, King Orpheus.

At first glance, the current Eleanor seems to be united by a sense of duty as a member of the royal family.

Actually, that’s not the case.

They’re just clinging to a sense of duty as royalty.

Because that’s all there is.

Perhaps, the girl I met in the game was the person I am now.

As she planned, the weak Eleanor, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, would have lived in it forever.

In the end, it will be a story that ends with the death of Aria Rias from the same class.

“In creating the Mac, we had to grasp several concepts.”

Unfortunately, I don’t really like seeing the same ending.

“What?”

Eleanor glared at me with a frown, asking what she was saying out of the blue.

I tried to kick him out saying he didn’t want to talk, but I kept spitting out what to say.

“Because there were too many difficulties to simply catch and go with the monster that eats nightmares. I started with the feeling of creating a new animal from scratch.”

It was comfortable to think of making a set of settings for a monster called Mac.

However, like a god who creates animals, it was necessary to be very detailed and realistic.

It’s not just about having an elephant’s trunk.

How to move an elephant’s trunk, what its habits are, whether there are bones inside, muscle mass and length, etc.

We created a colorful yet detailed Mac.

The most important part was eating dreams.

Yeah, everyone was focusing on that.

But I was against it.

I cared about what happened after I ate my dream.

Because at the time when I didn’t know that I had a dual personality, I wondered if there really was a demon that I couldn’t see.

Because I was expecting a little bit.

Upon hearing my story, Eleanor’s eyes widened. Even if you want to hide it, you can’t hide the feeling of anticipation.

“It may not be a very pleasant story for the princess, but when animals eat something, they have to excrete it.”

Slowly, I take out a small orb.

“It is a fragment of the nightmare Mac left behind. However, Mac could digest a nightmare, not a personality.”

I’m glad what Mac ate wasn’t a nightmare. No matter how much I prepared for various situations, I couldn’t even consider the situation where eating is my personality.

“then… … .”

“She’s still in here.”

Eleanor staring blankly at me. Now it was her turn to choose.

Considering her position as a princess, it would be right to remain as she is now.

An object of envy among the people of the Griffin Kingdom, and a person with enough charisma to turn students into rebels.

In fact, her coup might have been successful if Arya Rias hadn’t stopped it.

Returning to the original state could be seen as an act of abandoning one’s duties as a member of the royal family and ignoring the expectations of the people at the same time.

However, Eleanor did not conflict for long.

He confidently nods with an expression that he will not regret his choice even for a moment.

The only thing she did not dare to say was her knowledge as a princess, which she kept until the very end.

It was a kind of courage that put her first priority over her position as a princess.

“good night.”

That’s why I take out a black jewel from my bosom along with the fragments of the mac in my hand.

It was the Spirit Stone, Remegeton.

“that’s… … .”

“Pretend you didn’t see.”

It gives attention for no reason and raises mana. Eleanor pretends to be confident, but asks if she is a little anxious.

“But is it really possible? Wouldn’t it be better to ask the archmage?”

“That’s funny.”
