Just a story

Time flies.

The war left great scars on mankind, but, as always, they began to recover quickly.

The history of war is long and there are many wounds to recover from, but in the end they will all be overcome.

Everyone knew that, and no one was reluctant to roll up their sleeves in the restoration work.

A week passed like that.

Helios and other parts of the central dimension were busy with post-war restoration work.

“Gather up the rubble and move it to one place!”

“Professors who learned restoration magic, this way!”

“Be careful because the wreckage is heavy! Safety comes first!”

People’s voices come from all over the place.

In order to repair not only the collapsed school building, but also the town of Rhodes and the nearby forests, the professors as well as the returning guard team were having an eye-opening time.

As always with post-war restoration work, there was one scene that was different from usual.

That is, among those who help them in their work, there is also a ‘Magic Beast’.

“It’s all loaded. You can move it.”

─Krureuk.

“Let’s reduce the weight of the wreckage with the ‘Curse of Lightness’.”

─uuu…

Dragons carry rocks on their backs, and ghosts help clear debris with various curses.

In addition to that, many other monsters were working hard to restore the war with people who were once enemies.

These are the monsters that Cynthia has recruited, and they are the ones who fought alongside them on the side of mankind.

Is it because until now, whenever we met, there was nothing left but to fight.

It was very strange to see people and monsters mixing together and joining forces.

“Huh…”

“·······.”

And a corner of the garden a little away from such a site.

There were people sitting on a wide bench and quietly watching them.

A girl with white hair hanging down and a bitter smile, and a girl with black hair who quietly sits next to her.

It was Encia and Cynthia.

“Everyone is working hard~”

“yes···.”

Their voices were strangely weak.

The people watching were busy and dazzling, and that appearance could have been saved only because of the women who fought in the forefront.

It’s not that I don’t have a proud heart, but the emptiness that seems like there’s a hole in the corner of my heart is bigger than that.

Demons and people who come and go.

And the professors who supervise them.

As it was originally, there was no one person who should have been there.

“Professor Roshua is really crazy, isn’t it?”

“Yeah…Professor Lafless doesn’t seem to have that kind of knowledge…”

At least, Roshua and Laflis, who had high professorships, supervised them, but they were equally sweaty.

This is because supervising professors and witches is on a different level from dealing with students.

It would be nice if there was even President Vincent, but he was also busy running around the entire dimension to normalize schools.

“If the professor was there, it would have been organized in one room, right?”

“yes···.”

Yujin Kang.

Recalling his name, the two bowed their heads.

the war is over

Kang Yoo-jin, who had a final battle with the emperor, did not return from the abyss of the dimension where he eventually sank.

No trace of life could be found in the place where only emptiness remained, and after the Constellations came out and searched the surrounding area, Kang Yu-jin’s death was a foregone fact.

The first few days, the road was rampant.

Encia and Cynthia too.

I couldn’t accept the fact that Kang Yoo-jin died.

Because he was the one who thought he would come back alive and well no matter where he went.

Because he is a person who is better than anyone else in the world and has bravely overcome any difficulties, he believed that he would come back intact this time too.

However, despite the continued search, he did not appear after all, and when word came that the contract with Laniakea had been terminated, the two had no choice but to accept it.

“It would have been better if you had been together.”

“yes······.”

Even now, I sometimes think that it would be nice if all of this was a dream.

No matter how you look at it, Helios, where only Kang Yu-jin’s seat was vacant, didn’t adapt.

But this was reality, and it was none other than his choice to sink into the abyss of the dimension.

‘It was an inevitable choice to completely erase the emperor’s existence.’

Laniakea, whom I met not too long ago, told me why he had no choice but to make that choice.

Even if the emperor dies, his body will remain, and the dimensional abyss and the Black Sky Corridor are the places where the emperor’s power is strongest.

In itself, it could be said to be a trace of the emperor, and that meant that it was very likely to be abused.

That is why Kang Yoo-jin made a decision with the emperor in the Black Sky Corridor of the Abyss.

Kill him, and let his body disappear with the collapsing abyss.

“Isn’t resurrection impossible?”

“Yeah…they say it’s a place where the power of fate can’t reach.”

The abyss that collapsed and sank was completely thrown out of the world line.

Since the power of our world is out of reach, the same resurrection as before has become impossible.

Of course, it might be possible if you directly cross the world line, but unfortunately, it was impossible for Kang Yu-jin, who made the ‘reincarnation ring’.

It was because the only thing he could do was to make the power of the spell barely connect.

“Stupid Professor…”

“·······.”

A new era after the war.

It was more splendid than anything else, but it was a bit of a lonely era.

“You guys. Were you here?”

It was Skadi who came to visit those two.

The appearance of approaching her wagging her tail was the same as usual, but the bandages and bandages wrapped all over her limbs as well as her head showed that she was quite a wreck.

He was the one who fought the forefront in the Battle of Helios, so it was only natural in a way.

“·······.”

“·······.”

“·······.”

The three looked at each other like that, and eventually burst into laughter.

Skadi suffered as much as the two girls.

Because it hurts that much to lose someone you can trust more than anyone else… and maybe you liked.

But she was not a young student.

He was a wizard who carried his convictions, and he was a professor who was supposed to lead his students.

Skadi swallowed the pain she had been harboring and buried it deep in her heart.

It’s not okay…but maybe I’ll miss you for a long time, maybe forever.

she could stand it

We must move forward.

It was none other than Yujin Kang who taught me that.

“What are you guys going to do now?”

she asked like nothing.

Recently, an official announcement was made.

Kang Yoo-jin and the emperor destroyed the singularity that was in the dark.

As a result, the record, the dwelling place of the singularity, disappeared, as well as the means to awaken to the Constellation and the power to maintain it.

Constellations are no longer born in this world.

Because there is no constellation, demons cannot be born.

The constellations that exist now, those who have maintained their source, will gradually become pure stars and fall asleep, and those who let go of their source will return to their mortal destiny.

The Age of Stars and Darkness is over, and the Age of Pure Humanity has come.

As such, Helios has also been transformed into a school in the pure sense of the word, no longer a Constellation Academy, so it is no longer necessary to attend if the Constellation is your goal.

“We’re still graduating!”

“Even so… I want to end it properly…”

Everything started here, and I met all the precious ties.

Encia too.

Cynthia too.

Estelle too.

Skadi and Adeline too.

And, Yoojin Kang.

Since everything is here in Helios, the two of them hoped that it would end properly until the end.

“And when I graduate~ I want to follow in my mother’s footsteps and become Vega’s head of household.”

Ensia eventually made the decision to succeed Vega.

Even if the constellation disappears, the holy contract of the angels remains, so I wanted to protect and lead them so that their power was not abused.

“I want to become a diplomat who connects demons and humans.”

Cynthia’s target was a magic beast diplomat.

No demons are born, but there are still many demons left.

And they, who do not have a separate lifespan, will live until the day the world perishes, if nothing special happens.

To be a bridge for them to live in harmony with humans.

So to get rid of rooted prejudice and discrimination, and to lead the persecuted demons.

That was Cynthia’s dream.

“That’s probably… it’s my duty to be born with both blood…”

Through Kang Yoo-jin, she realized her true dream.

And, obviously, you can.

Because she was none other than Kang Yoo-jin’s disciple.

“Huh~ I see. What about Estelle?”

“Estel… I don’t know~ She disappeared somewhere.”

“Still, I’m sure you’re thinking the same thing…”

Kang Yoo-jin’s death.

Estelle disappeared.

I didn’t even know where it went.

He didn’t reveal his whereabouts to anyone, and he just disappeared suddenly.

“There must be something you want to do.”

“Yes… Estelle has always been like that.”

Still, the two cheered for Estelle.

Because Estelle was always able to see far and make wise decisions.

They trusted their friends.

“I see.”

“Professor Skadi, what are you going to do?”

“Are you going to stay in Helios?”

Skadi smiled and shook her head.

“No… I have something else I want to do.”

She smiled and looked up at the sky.

beyond the blue sky.

towards her hometown.

“I’m going to rebuild my hometown. If my homeland comes back to life, I’ll try to revive the many worlds that have been destroyed.”

One day Kang Yoo-jin informed her.

Even a destroyed world can be revived sufficiently, and the method is said to be not too far away.

She has already seen the solution, and is still working hard on her research.

And now I wanted to pour all my passion into it.

Like a long-held dream that one day left my hometown.

“Then I won’t be able to take the professor’s classes anymore?”

“It’s unfortunate…but I’ll cheer you on…!”

Encia and Cynthia clenched their fists and cutely shouted fighting.

Skadi, who burst into laughter at that cute figure, suddenly looked at the two without a word.

The angels and demons who thought they could never mix.

And a person who did not choose either side between them.

How great is the existence of Kang Yoo-jin, who has woven those three beings together in the name of friendship.

He was a great hunter and, even more so, a teacher to all.

Because he was the one who brought together the gap, the spirit, and the ideology that were thought to be impossible to connect.

“Come on. Let’s shake hands with that.”

Skadi, who grabbed the girls’ hands, wrapped her little hands with her own tail.

A handshake divided by the tail.

For the Snow Leopard, it was the strongest proof of trust.

“Let’s do our best. Surely, everything will be fine.”

The two of them nodded as she spoke with a smile.

“”Yeah!””

*

“…the ideal is all that has been bestowed upon you.”

The tall upper part of Helios.

In Kang Yoo-jin’s office, who was relatively normal, Adeline was meeting Mason, the owner of the Mage Tower.

There is one reason why Mason came to Adeline.

It was to tell her what Yujin Kang had left for her.

Before he left for the battlefield, Mason left all of his possessions to Adeline in a will.

Maria Brand, as well as material and economic properties, as well as marijuana mathematics, mental control, and all knowledge of the sympathetic nervous system, were left to her.

Knowledge that only Adeline can read in this world.

He left everything he had accomplished to her.

“Who asked for something like this…”

With a crying voice, he accepted the document with Kang Yu-jin’s will written on it.

Enclosed was a small letter, which was brief indeed.

──「Live well.」

It was plain without long words, so it was quite strong.

She swallowed the tears and hugged his letter tightly.

“Stupid idiot···.”

Seeing her sad, Mason silently stood by her side.

It couldn’t be long, but he was a person who shared a passion that was more dense than ever.

He had enough loyalty to keep Adeline by his side, sharing the vacancy and pain of such a person.

“What are you going to do from now on?”

Since you have acquired a huge fortune, you will be able to do anything.

Upon receiving the question, Adeline raised her head, looked at the letter she had embraced, and spoke with a firm determination.

“I’m going to be a professor who teaches magic mathematics.”

like he once did.

Adeline wanted to become a professor after Kang Yoo-jin.

“It must be difficult, are you confident?”

“Of course.”

I wiped away my tears and smiled hard.

“I am his colleague.”

Mason smiled at the confident look.

“In that case, the Mage Tower will do its best to help you.”

“Partners are always welcome.”

Celebrating someone’s vacancy, drawing on the future that will follow.

The two shook hands firmly.

outer dimension.

On the outskirts, far from the center, Laniakea and Kaya faced each other.

“You are leaving now.”

“Yes. I have nothing more to do here.”

Kaya, who came to Helios following Yujin Kang’s wind, is now ready to return to Earth after finishing all her work.

“You could stay here.”

“Nope···.”

She shook her head.

“My place is home.”

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to stay at Helios.

In the place where his footsteps are left, he certainly had a desire to continue the studies he left behind.

But Kaya didn’t.

Rather than Helios, I wanted to be on Earth.

In the land he was born and protected, he wanted to cultivate the world for him.

After all, the bonds and memories we shared with him are on Earth.

She decided to make her homeland more beautiful.

“You can come back anytime. Helios welcomes Kaya.”

“Ahahahaha. Thank you.”

The two smiled at each other and shared a short hug for the last time.

“Goodbye, Kaya. I wish you happiness on the road ahead.”

“The Constellation Nim too.”

After sharing a hug, Kaya turned around and opened a portal to Earth.

The barrier of the angels is still strong, but since I’ve already penetrated it once, the second time was instantaneous.

Laniakea burst into laughter at her innocent appearance, and Kaya waved at her.

“then!”

Jumping into the portal, the light embraced Kaya.

Floating floating feeling.

After a brief movement, her feet landed on the ground before she knew it.

“·······.”

When I opened my closed eyes, I saw the world unfolding under the bright sunlight.

A place where familiar streets and scents linger.

Returning to her hometown, she raised her head and looked ahead.

Just as she had set the coordinates, she was standing in a memorial park with a statue of Pentagram.

“… Whoa.”

Six heroes who saved the world.

pentagram.

And, a pair of men and women guarding the center.

···Maria and Kang Eugene.

Watching them, Kaya quietly took a flower from her bosom and set it down.

After being immersed in contemplation for a while, I heard a voice from far away.

Several voices calling her.

It was the rest of Pentagram’s companions.

“Hey, Kaya~!”

“Where have you been?”

“I’ve been looking for a long time.”

Patrick and Angela and Wolfgang.

She looked at the three colleagues with a blank face, and only then smiled.

place to be.

She seemed to have finally found the real reason to stay here.

“Ummm…it’s nothing.”

So, I wiped the tears that were about to flow and smiled broadly.

In the new era, a smile will suit you.

“I’m back!”
