Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

Arcdin(1)

Adele asked me what the hell was she hiding from me.

I kept my mouth shut because it was clear that telling the truth would be more annoying than it is now, and Adele eventually gave up on hearing an answer from me.

“I’ll definitely listen to it next time.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t until she disappeared from sight that I could finally open my mouth.

“Whew… .”

A sigh came out. But I wasn’t tired.

Was it because I ate coffee, or was the chocolate delicious?

The sweets I thought would not suit my taste were better than I expected.

I stared intently at the cafe where Adele was with me a while ago.

‘Should I buy some?’

very little. Even if I don’t eat it, other people can eat it.

I went into the cafe and bought some sweets and left.

It’s refreshing to feel the sweetness after taking a cookie out of the bag and munching on it.

“Are you coming back now?”

On the way back to the dormitory, a familiar person was waiting for me in front of the Trea Hall.

“professor?”

“I came here because I had something to ask. Do you have any time?”

At Professor Akdin’s words, I nodded.

There was nothing to do at the time, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk to Professor Akdin.

Maybe we can find out why he’s going to run away.

Professor Akdin and I sat down on the sofa inside the Trea Coffin.

I tried to guide him to a nearby cafe or a comfortable place to sit, but Professor Akdin stopped me.

“I came here to ask you a few simple words. Why would you go to a cafe on such a grand scale?”

I put down the cookie bag and looked at Professor Akdin.

He looked like he was contemplating something, his face stiffened slightly.

“Ask me… ?”

“Oh, yes. Do you have any plans to become a professor?”

“yes?”

For a moment, he gasped and opened his mouth slightly.

professor? suddenly?

Professor Akdin, who saw my expression, said with a laugh.

“It’s a joke.”

“… A joke like that is a little scary.”

I breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

You’d almost be like Sophia.

Watching Sophia roll makes me think I should never be like that.

Sophia, it doesn’t matter, since you can easily survive such a life.

‘I would never do that.’

He reached out with a bag to calm his startled heart.

It was sweet when I held the hard cookie in my hand and put it in my mouth.

“Professor, would you like to have some?”

“No, it’s fine.”

Professor Akdin refused the sweets, saying he didn’t like sweets very much.

Once you try it, you will change your mind. like me.

“Do you remember my daughter’s name?”

“Lily. Is that correct?”

“That’s right.”

Professor Akdin nodded. I quickly chewed and swallowed the cookie and shifted my gaze to him.

“Lily was dead. He was a child with a very short lifespan due to a congenital mana deficiency.”

Professor Akdin’s expression is sad. His eyes are on me, but his eyes must be looking at his daughter.

I shut my mouth and listened to him.

“Nevertheless, Lily was a cheerful child. Clinging to me, Dad! I still remember the moment when I cried.”

“I’m sorry about your daughter’s work.”

Professor Akdin shook his head.

“No. Do you need to be sorry? It must have been a while since I had known my daughter’s name.”

“… … .”

I couldn’t say anything, but it’s been over a year since I’ve known his daughter’s name.

Before being possessed, I heard the name Lily when he was dying in the original story.

But I didn’t remember that time. No, it would be correct to say that I didn’t remember exactly.

After all, he was a passing extra, and he was a villainous boss who deserved to die.

For me, Professor Akdin and Lily were just that.

‘Then what about now?’

I looked at Professor Akdin.

He is talking to me with a longing expression on his face as if recalling memories.

Lily, the daughter of Professor Akdin, the reason I can remember her name is because of Professor Akdin’s expression.

“Deron.”

“yes. I am listening.”

Professor Akdin nodded and said calmly.

“I intend to bring my daughter back to life.”

“yes?”

I doubted what I had just heard.

Maybe I heard it wrong, maybe my ears were wrong.

As if denying that thought, Professor Akdin spoke again.

“You said you were going to bring Lily back to life.”

“Are you serious?”

Professor Akdin nodded.

My head was complicated. It was expected that he would bring his daughter back to life.

Because it was originally a set episode.

But why are you telling me such a thing?

I couldn’t quite figure out why.

Whether or not he knew how I felt, Professor Akdin continued the story.

“I’ve been looking for a secret technique to bring the dead back to life, and I only recently found out how to do it, so I’m just doing it.”

“I don’t know about the secret technique, but I don’t think it’s a normal way at all.”

“Yeah, I’m well aware that it’s never normal to bring the dead back.”

Professor Akdin’s eyes twinkle. His face is full of wrinkles.

I don’t know where the wound came from, but I can clearly see the scars that looked like something had been cut with a knife.

Taller than most adult males. White hair that has become clean with age. The symbol of time and stress makes Professor Akdin look like an uncle.

Nevertheless, the momentum of the swordsman who made his name in the past is still there.

“But, I will save Lily.”

feelings for someone who has already left.

I can’t fully comprehend that bitter longing.

I understood it to some extent.

I cleaned up my messy hair and told him.

“What is lost is what is lost. Don’t you know?”

“You are cool.”

“It’s rational.”

I know that there is nothing to say to someone who has lost something precious.

I am not a psychopath who can say that it is inevitable for someone who has lost a daughter.

but it has to be said.

Professor Akdin grinned and muttered.

“Be rational. Deron.”

“yes.”

“Is there anyone dear to you?”

He paused for a moment at his question. Is there anyone who can be called a precious person?

Agnes came to mind for a moment, but she was not as precious to me as Professor Akdin’s Lily.

Just, when I die, it doesn’t disappear and remains tormenting me.

It’s just a remnant of useless justice.

“What is lost is what is lost. I know that too.”

“If you know why… .”

“Deron. Just because you know the facts doesn’t mean you can fix it.”

Professor Akdin’s words make me shut my mouth.

experienced and inexperienced. After all, what I’m talking about is just a theory.

“The loneliness that haunts me every time I look at Lily’s pictures is something I can’t shake off easily. Even if I could shake off the feeling of loss of that child.”

Listening to the professor, I asked.

“Then why did you tell me this story?”

The cold reason raises questions.

If Professor Akdin really thinks that way, then all you have to do is do it.

Telling me like this is only a stumbling block to his plans.

Professor Akdin must be well aware of that fact, so why did he tell me about the secret technique?

I did not understand.

“You… .”

Professor Akdin rummaged through the bag and pulled out a cookie.

He said he didn’t eat.

The professor stared at the sweets.

“One of the most reliable students I have ever seen. Even though he was born as a nobleman, he is not arrogant, and he does not dare to spread the things that he has accomplished with contempt. I judged him to be such a heavy person.”

“… … .”

The cookie goes into Professor Akdin’s mouth.

Staring at the professor who slowly chewed and swallowed the cookie.

I reflexively clenched my hands.

Somehow, it seems that he ate all the cookies and what he will say is predictable.

It was hoped that the cookie would be regenerated indefinitely so that his mouth would be closed forever.

However, the absurd wish that sweets could be regenerated did not come true.

Professor Akdin’s mouth opened.

“I am the one who, swayed by the loss of the past, put his hand on the forbidden secret and put down the present.”

don’t say

“I have never seen a person who gave up the present greeted with good words during my teaching career.”

Don’t try to do it knowingly.

the dead are the dead Even if something lost once comes back, that loss cannot be forgotten.

The form of loss is different for everyone, but in the end it comes fairly.

Professor Akdin’s loss must have been his daughter Lily.

“So, Deron Phylasia.”

please.

“I want to ask you a favor.”

I looked at Professor Akdin’s face again.

The look on the professor’s face as he chews on all the sweets and asks me for something… .

was exhausted It is difficult to say that it is full of vitality even with empty words. Perhaps because of the forbidden magic, his body looked full of fatigue.

Professor Akdin, no, Akdin said while looking at me like that.

“Stop me.”

damn it

messed it up Because I knew those words would come out, it hurts even more.

But you can’t refuse.

I nodded my head without saying a word. I couldn’t get the words out. Because I don’t have the confidence not to show my feelings.

Akdin smiled as if satisfied with my answer, and stood up from his seat.

“The sweets tasted good.”

Leaving those words behind, Akdin disappeared from my sight.

Did I say that loss comes to everyone?

I think I will face loss for the first time in this world right now.

Because I’m afraid of that fact.

I opened my eyes wide and kept my reason.

In the end, there is no way to stop Professor Akdin’s runaway.

then… .

“I’ll have to ask you a favor.”

The loss he handed over to me. I gladly grabbed the sharp dagger and grabbed it.
