I Became The Academy Necromancer

59. Beautiful night

Eleanor hated herself.

I couldn’t even meet my mother’s expectations. Because she was a disappointing daughter, she closed her eyes without looking at herself until the day she died.

Why couldn’t I remember?

The one who obsessively drove himself to protect his image as a member of the royal family.

From one day, I suddenly became free from all of that.

Why did you let it pass naturally?

I was asking myself, but the answer was really obvious. Clever Eleanor already knew the answer.

because it was convenient

I didn’t want to set my eyes on my royal duties again. So little Eleanor naturally ignored it.

And that’s it.

It was ugly, the worst, and even foolish, he had admitted now.

own burden.

handed it over to someone else.

Little Eleanor carrying it was now standing over there.

It was with a man he hadn’t seen before, but oddly enough, with little Eleanor in his eyes, the memory calmly entered his mind.

The conversations they had here are imprinted in my head like knowledge.

That man was Deius Verdi.

No, it was Deius’ real identity.

But that didn’t matter at all. All Eleanor needed now was time alone and a desire to disappear.

“Hey.”

Little Eleanor approached cautiously. However, it responds by erecting thorns.

“Don’t come! Why did you come! The weak me disappeared! Only the strong you remain! You know the duty we have to shoulder!”

“… … .”

Little Eleanor could not answer.

After all, they are the same person. She, too, knew that it was right for her, who was united with the convictions and pride of the royal family, to take the initiative in her body and act.

Logically, but not emotionally.

Little Eleanor wanted to say she needed her, but her nature made it impossible for her to utter such feeble words.

Because royalty doesn’t speak weak words.

That’s why Deus Verdi came out here.

It was Shinwoo Kim.

“What can I say?”

A different way of speaking and voice than the original Deus. But a similar aggressive tone indeed.

“Can you comfort me? please tell me it’s okay Or will you tell me that I need you?”

As he takes a step forward, Eleanor steps back. Her eyes tremble, revealing fear.

“I will tell you for sure. You have neither the qualifications of a princess nor the responsibilities toward rights and duties.”

It was absurd.

In fact, this question and answer itself was unnecessary and this situation itself was funny.

Eleanor says she can’t. But isn’t that really natural?

“Hey! Hey!”

Little Eleanor in the back urgently rushes to Kim Shin-woo. She grabs him by the crotch of his pants and pulls on him, shouting what he’s talking about.

Kim Shin-woo pulls such a little Eleanor and brings her to the front.

Then, pointing to little Eleanor, he declared with absolute certainty.

“Look at this little girl. He has fought head-on without running away from his duty, never giving up, and possessing the nobility of sacrificing himself for the sake of the kingdom.”

“uh? uh?”

Little Eleanor is perplexed why she suddenly praises herself.

The more that happened, the more the original Eleanor’s expression darkened, and she kept her mouth shut.

That’s why I ask.

“Which one of these is the real Eleanor?”

At the same time “Huh?” asked Eleanor. But they couldn’t answer right away.

I guess I don’t know what the hell you’re asking.

“of course… … .”

“… … both.”

The two spoke hesitantly. That was the right answer. I wanted to give you a round of applause.

As a professor, I have never properly raised my students, but I wondered if this would be the feeling if I induce them to spit out answers on their own.

“Yes, you are no different. After all, it’s just a personality.”

“ah.”

The two Eleanors stare at each other with their mouths open, as if they finally realized what he wanted to say.

yes.

Eleanor, who has a lot of emotions, is always cheerful, loves character stories, and likes chatting in a flower garden.

Eleanor, an ideal monarch who is united with pride, pride, honor and faith as a royal family.

In the end, there was only one person.

“I know it was a lot of work. It was hard, and even though it seemed like it was going to collapse, you persevered hard? I can tell enough.”

Even though he had a hole in his body, fell down, and fell down, he got up again and eventually came this far.

“Now, look at each other.”

he was talking

There is no need to blame yourself for not having more of what you want.

because.

“Because after all those hardships, you have already grown up handsome enough to bear the name of royalty.”

We have walked different paths, but it is not different that we have grown together.

Little Eleanor reached out slowly. The hand he reached out with a smile meant to put an end to the long wandering.

Carefully touch each other’s hands.

There was no need for flashy halos. It was a luxury to have a huge amount of mana fluctuate.

only one girl

It was only that he faced himself and now recognized his identity.

Eleanor was the only person in this position.

Ironically, it was just that he had longed for himself.

“Really, that’s stupid.”

Eleanor said that she felt sorry for herself, but her expression contained relief and freshness.

It was light, but it was the same as it was when it was lively.

The girl’s eyes contained deep conviction as well as faith and will toward herself.

Kwaaang!

Suddenly, the whole building starts to shake. Surprised, the two did not even have time to relax.

The dream was crumbling.

“It’s crazy.”

“Uh, mother?”

The two shouted while looking down from the railing at the same time.

The high-lan that had been flying earlier had grown so huge that it was eating up the building itself and coming up here.

An overwhelming figure reminiscent of a cartoon where a giant appeared. It was embarrassing, but I couldn’t completely get rid of it.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Kim Shin-woo wraps his hand around Eleanor’s waist, pours out mana again and soars into the sky.

Mental strength was the criterion for mana, so he had half-infinite mana here.

“That’s rough!”

However, since I couldn’t handle it precisely, I had no choice but to stumble as if my body was swung by a storm.

* * *

I don’t know how far I flew.

It just continued to fly endlessly, and now it was so faint that the bottom could not be seen.

There was no destination.

Just being held in his arms, Eleanor recalls the most impressive story he has ever told.

It was a story of a magical girl.

An ordinary academy student meets an animal with a strange power and has a very unique mana to fight for justice.

Hearing the story, Eleanor thought it was truly mysterious.

I was even surprised how they came up with such a lively story.

The part I liked the most was this one.

The girls who fight to protect the world live normally, laugh and talk normally, and fall in love normally.

Hearing that, I was a little comforted.

Even the little girls with the vast purpose of protecting the world were not in a state of transformation forever.

‘I also… … .’

She’s royalty, she’s a princess.

It’s something that has to be special.

It didn’t have to be special forever.

If she showed herself as a princess only when needed, that was a truly wise person.

Eleanor looked at Kim Shin-woo, grateful for realizing it belatedly.

Let’s talk a little bit more about magical girls.

They also love each other, but said that the other person is not highlighted.

It is said that most of the cases are already in a state of liking from the beginning of the story.

I thought that part was really bad. Unexpected first love? Romantic love at first sight?

I thought it was very contrived and expedient.

The current Eleanor had no choice but to admit it.

‘Indeed, it’s a realistic story.’

I use the fact that I’m about to fall for no reason as an excuse to hug her waist tighter.

I was dizzy and had to vomit, but I didn’t feel any motion sickness.

because it’s a dream

In the end, the difference from the last reality that was not noticed by another self.

That there is no dizziness.

But now, that was the Eleanor she hated.

‘Of course.’

Even in such a situation where the body shakes violently, there is no motion sickness or dizziness.

So the man’s face was more clearly embedded in my mind.

“I’d rather have been so dizzy that I couldn’t keep my mind.”

If that were the case, I would have been able to simply fake the emotions that were pouring out of my chest and ringing randomly in my heart as dizziness.

Even though I’m sorry.

May this dream last a little longer.

It was Eleanor who wanted that.

* * *

“Off.”

When I carefully opened my eyes, dizziness hit me. The feeling that I didn’t feel in my dream is now following me late.

Take a few deep breaths as you feel the anesthesia wear off.

“Ugh!”

But worse than me was Eleanor.

She lost control of herself and almost fell over the balcony railing, but I managed to save her with a violent pull.

Udangtang!

However, the problem was that because of that, their bodies leaned towards me and they collapsed on top of each other.

Anyway, Eleanor was sitting on top of me, clutching her throbbing hair.

I thought I’d spent quite a while there, but the party under the balcony was still in full swing.

When I sneakily see the dark mage next to me, she explains with a subtle expression.

[About 10 minutes have passed. What were the two of you doing while standing still?]

’10 minutes.’

Although it could be said that the soul was mixed into the dream due to being swept away by Remegeton’s violent power.

‘It must be impossible to do it again next time.’

I had to admit that it was a risky way. Remegeton’s power was stronger than expected, tearing the boundary between dreams and souls.

Well, I wonder if it was right in the end.

When I lowered my vision, Eleanor was looking up at me while holding me in her arms.

Looking at his reddened face, I tried to tell him to come down now.

After thinking about it for a while, I opened my mouth as I looked up at the night sky beyond her.

“There was a novelist named Soseki Natsume. He became famous for expressing his love confession by saying that the moon is beautiful.”

At my words, Eleanor blinked wide and smiled broadly.

“What are you talking about?”

Refreshingly, in a voice that left no regrets or lingering regrets.

“Of course it is real!”

In response, a smile resembling a crescent moon crept involuntarily.

It was indeed a moonlit night.
