Episode 84

Early morning on the 7th day of the air raid.

Silence fell on the walls.

It was because the casting order was not dropping anymore.

“Is it over… … ?”

The monsters that had been flocking beyond the field of vision as if they would never end had stopped a long time ago. Still, it’s hard to tell them apart if you look down from the barrier.

The corpses of the monsters that have piled up and become a wall are still lined up in front of the outpost.

However, it wasn’t long before the blue flags began to rise one by one from the outposts.

“What is that?”

The students did not know the meaning, but the wizards of Aindarok all showed a similar reaction.

Sit down in your seat, laugh like you’re out of your mind, or faint.

The blue flag is used when all magic reactions in the vicinity are lost.

In other words, it means that there are no monsters left alive.

[Release of preparations for battle. End of situation.]

[You may return to the barracks. More than.]

[Good work.]

There was silence for a moment.

Coltman’s toneless voice was the same as when the air raid first began. It was too late to realize it even after hearing it.

[It’s over, you fools!]

Wow!

It wasn’t until Derek’s violent shouts that a response erupted.

Compared to when he defeated the stone soldier, the shout was a bit lacking.

There are some people who cry because of their different reactions, while others embrace and cheer each other.

I was supporting magic as a pinch hitter at the second barrier, leaning my arm on the railing and looking down.

Even though I was spoiled by the script, the thrill didn’t diminish.

[C????????T ??I?O??]

“Sir, surprise.”

Disgusted, he waved his hand and blew the script.

It must have been an additional event, but as before, the script was broken at all, so nothing was displayed properly. It was worth it.

Because in the eighth episode of ＜Academy Summer Turge＞, there is no case where students do not die. Although I think it will probably normalize once we get into the ninth episode.

Do you want to reward this properly? It’s the last battle stat point.

“Sir Rockstryn.”

“Why are you coming back, you?”

Perhaps they were looking for me, but while everyone was heading down the barrier #1, Frid was coming this way in the opposite direction.

Frid stood next to me and looked down.

“Something doesn’t feel right. Kyungeun.”

“Because my father is here. Just to make sure the kids are all going down.”

“Yes.”

Black smoke rises.

Oil is poured on the dead bodies piled up in front of the outpost and set on fire. It will take more than a day to burn everything.

Even if your eyes are stung by the ashes that fly in the wind blowing on the barrier, you will blankly watch the flames.

“Good job.”

“Kyung suffered the most.”

“I think I’ve said this before.”

“It will be right.”

“Everyone must have played their part.”

without anyone missing.

I did my part in my position without betraying my expectations. It did not stop there, but also produced results that far exceeded expectations.

“I can get some rest when I get back. Please take a little rest this time.”

“To do so.”

“Oh, is it true?”

“I just don’t want to go to class. I need to recuperate. I’d rather stay here for a while… … .”

“That’s good too.”

“not. Still, we must go back together. Youngji’s father will take care of it.”

There is one guy who would die of boredom without me. Still, it’s better to see it more often in the fall than in the winter.

“If an air raid of this scale was prevented without major damage, wouldn’t it be good for the next 10 years?”

“Ten years?”

“Is it too short?”

“It’s not short.”

What will happen when all the episodes are over? It’s a happy imagination.

“okay. 10 years is a long time… … .”

It was a future that would never come to me, so I thought I was in no position to foresee it.

got greedy

“Oh, there you are.”

Following the guidance of the professors, all the students went down the barrier.

Leaving only minimal forces behind, Coltman and Derek walked this way from the command post.

“You have worked hard, Father.”

“It was a lot of hard work. Rockstrin.”

The words overlapped, and we laughed lightly at each other. It’s not too late to say more than that after the cleanup is over. Derek frowned and sighed.

“What are you doing without hurrying down? Could there be anything else left?”

“I have no strength in my legs, so I will wait a little longer and then go down.”

“OK. I wish I never had to see you again. Because it gives me goosebumps.”

After sending him down to Derek, he could see the sky brightening.

Freed, like me, cast his gaze over the barrier in silence for a long time. Soldiers and knights can be seen moving busily. Many are carried on stretchers.

I’m going to go visit you in a little while and say thank you… … .

“Look, am I right? The Rocks wouldn’t have gone down.”

“Yes.”

Looking back, I saw Ai-nim waving his hand in this direction. Hera, Neyel, and Baeller were also there.

All four of them look tired from casting magic on behalf of the students who have lost their magic like me, but they all have bright faces.

“Shall we go down soon?”

“Yes.”

“But can you lift me up? I can’t walk because of the pain. Why are you doing this?”

“Haha, why?”

This wretched body has already been discharged.

Pinkie worked hard to treat her, but it didn’t last long. The reason why magic can’t heal is funny.

“It’s normal muscle pain.”

I went down the stairs with the party on Frid’s back.

To my surprise, when I just stepped on the ground inside the barrier. Hira looked back at me from the back and said.

“Why are you laughing like an idiot, Rocks?”

“just. Seeing that everyone is okay.”

Even if it’s a main character, there’s no reason to get together because they have little contact with each other, but somehow they got together.

Everyone is looking at me now, but it would be nice if we could be friends.

“… … I’m glad.”

It came to me late that none of them were dead or injured.

“Thanks to the Rocks.”

“okay. thanks to me.”

I said confidently.

Because it will always be like that.

* * *

“Ugh.”

When each of them returned to their room in the barracks, everyone was lying face down on the bed.

Broman was the only one sitting, so he received the message from above.

“I’m going to take a break today, finish organizing the students first, and go back to Summer Turge tomorrow.”

“okay. Let’s just stay like this today. I can’t move.”

“Is there anything else?”

“First of all, none of the students were hurt. The details are said to come out after the tally is completed… … .”

Broman let out a short sigh and continued.

“Kanin Mage Artain, warrior.”

The fact that Baeller Rongrd had been resurrected was now widespread.

Then, who oxidized with the magic core? The students couldn’t help but think of a wizard who hadn’t been seen since the airstrikes began.

“I knew that.”

“Listening clearly is a different feeling after all.”

“Professor… … .”

As much as he cared for his students, he received a lot of respect and love. There was no student who would not be saddened by Kanin’s death.

Broman threw the document with the message written on it and said.

“Well, you wouldn’t have any regrets about that. Thanks to you, we bought it.”

“It must have been.”

“Hey, let’s go to sleep.”

The conversation didn’t last long.

Despite the chilly morning weather, all the tired students went to sleep, and the barracks soon became quiet.

The assembly order did not drop until the next morning.

“804 soldiers and 31 knights were killed in action. It was an air raid of an exceptional scale, and it achieved an exceptional feat.”

It was a solemn atmosphere, but it was the truth. Against 100,000 monsters, fewer than 1,000 died.

It is a great victory that will go down in history.

“We will collect their bodies and bury them in the honorable Tomb of Aindarok. Their deaths will be honored, and their names will never be forgotten.”

A short silence followed.

“… … Also, one mage was killed in action. My teacher, and your teacher, has now fallen into a long sleep.”

The sound of students sobbing could be heard everywhere. I can’t see it well because my head is lowered, so maybe it’s not just the students.

“Sacrifice shouldn’t be pretty. We must rebuke those who speak lightly of sacrifice, be wary of those who believe they are right, and be angry at those who take it for granted. If there is an arrow of criticism, I will receive it only because I approved the operation.”

What Kanin was trying to convey to me.

At that time, I listened to it with one ear and let it go, but now I can’t. Even with my head down, it seemed like Coltman was talking to me.

I’m the one who set up the plan. Coltman declared that he would shoulder the burden.

“So the sacrifice is great.”

“I will pass it on to the souls of the dead who remain here and to those who have survived.”

“Truly, you have done a great job. You may raise your head.”

“You should be proud of it.”

The silence is over.

When I looked up, I saw two flags fluttering. It was a flag that symbolized Aindarok and Rongrult.

“You guys protected this land.”

Neither Aindarlock nor the Empire.

defended this land.

Coltman was not wrong. The fate of the continent was certainly at stake in this raid.

After those words, Coltman turned around and shouts of indignation continued.

The crisis of the northern wall ended like that.

* * *

“I’ll be right back.”

“I think so.”

I didn’t even promise anything, but Coltman and I ran straight into the barracks for the wounded. Both of them took it for granted, so I wasn’t too surprised.

“You’ve just been hurt.”

“Haha, why did I lose all energy while saving the young master?”

“… … thank you.”

“Oh, no. Raise your head. This will get better soon.”

The knight from outpost 6 who risked his life to rescue me had a bloodstained bandage wrapped around his shoulder.

There were quite a few serious injuries, but seeing as the first aid class students were resting, it seemed that the treatment was over.

“It’s different from back then.”

“Yes.”

8 years ago. Terrible screams were emanating from this very barracks.

Things are different from then.

The wounds of a defeated war are nothing but wounds, and the wounds of a victorious war are glory.

“father.”

“I am listening.”

“The proposer of the operation is my… … .”

“It was in my name. Do not vomit.”

“… … Yes.”

It was stubborn.

“You don’t have to worry too much. Even if you didn’t aim this far, it’s definitely Yuxilla involved, so the blame won’t be too big.”

“Shall we attend the ceremony?”

“Arthur. Are you going to make your social debut? I won’t stop you.”

“That’s right. I have a lot of work to do when I go back.”

The eighth episode is not over. The crisis in Rongurt was over, but the situation in other places is unknown.

There are many things to fix.

“I have to go to the outpost.”

“Since I’m here this time, I don’t have to come back to the manor in winter, right?”

“Do it yourself. There is no need to waste time traveling long distances.”

I don’t even see it a few times a year, but Coltman turned around without regret.

Anyway, it’s because I don’t have such an acknowledgment head. Being a son is no fun… … .

“If you have work in the island, don’t stop by.”

“I am.”

… … Not really.

After Coltman left, I circled the wounded soldiers’ barracks. Some soldiers lost arms, others lost legs.

They say thank you to me, and I feel sick to my stomach.

“Sir Rockstryn?”

“Oh, pink.”

As I wandered around the barracks, I came across Miro wearing a comfortable outfit, not the usual gown worn by the first aid team.

“I heard you work at night.”

“Before I went to bed, I was checking in one last time to see if anyone had any problems. Everyone is tired.”

“You leave in an hour?”

“Oh, I’m going to stay here for a while and help treat the injured. There are still many people who need treatment.”

“Do you have wings on your back?”

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say that… … . Everyone told me to stay, so I stayed.”

In any case, since he volunteered, there is no such thing as an angel.

“So please don’t get hurt when I’m not there.”

“Are you worried?”

“sure. In the first year, the other two are boys, so I can treat them, but there is no cotton candy.”

“Well, that is an important matter.”

Hearing the word cotton candy with my mouth while straightening my hair made me laugh out loud.

I don’t want to show such rudeness by receiving healing magic from others. Just like Miro said, you shouldn’t get hurt.

“thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Leaving the barracks for wounded soldiers to Bunhongi. When the time was up, we arrived at the place where the wagons were lined up.

Just like when I came, I was roughly trying to find a seat at the back, but Maria grabbed me by the back.

“You told me to keep your promise.”

“Is that a wish?”

“Probably not.”

“Be scared.”

I’m not saying I’ll listen to anything.
