Became an Academy End-Of-Life Genius

Ghost(5)

A strong light was seen over the ghost floating in the opaque air.

Because the moonlight was obscured by the clouds and the faint light of the stars did not fully illuminate the world.

That light alone lit up the world.

I overcame the ghost and faced the light.

The true identity of the light was Rebecca, who had regained her original eyes and hair.

She was hiding behind a tree, muttering to herself, thinking she wouldn’t notice me.

‘It all looks like that.’

With hair like that, you think you won’t get caught in the middle of the night.

I walked right behind the tree where Rebecca was, with a smile on my face.

even asked

“What are you doing here?”

As I said, Rebecca shook her body for a moment as if startled, then looked at me.

“Hib.”

I hear her hiccups.

Rebecca looked up at me with her round eyes in surprise.

It was pretty cute, so I laughed lightly.

“Why, why are you laughing?”

“It is nothing.”

In response to Rebecca’s question, I gently brushed my hair and took care of my expression.

At the same time, he loosened his habit of exhaling.

Rebecca looked at me with puzzled eyes, sighed deeply, and stood up.

I looked at Rebecca for a moment and asked, wiping away the dust and leaves from her clothes.

“So, why don’t you want to answer why you are here?”

“Then why are you here?”

“I asked the question first.”

Rebecca frowned and opened her mouth.

“I came to see the ghost of the rumor.”

“So am I. And the ghost of that rumor seems to be here.”

“yes? where is the ghost… .”

As she pointed her finger at the opaque ghost floating bench, Rebecca let out a deafening noise.

“aah!!”

oh wow I’m surprised

I reflexively covered my ears, but Rebecca’s voice pierced between my fingers.

… My ears are tingling.

“It’s midnight. Aren’t you supposed to follow basic manners?”

“Ha, but there’s a ghost over there… .”

“What do you mean by ghosts? There is no harm done, and only if they have physical powers, the extent of hitting them would be the end.”

“He’s dead… … .”

“I almost died because of your shouting.”

Rebecca listened to me and bowed her head.

It’s a shame that it’s a shame because her face is a little bald.

Hagisa, I must be ashamed of yelling like that at night.

I gently touched the earlobe to loosen it and headed towards the ghost.

Rebecca hides behind my back and proceeds cautiously.

“I am not your shield.”

“I know.”

“Is someone I know hiding behind me?”

“I’m going to walk slower than you.”

“her.”

laughter came out. She grabbed my collar and poked her head out.

“Hey!”

After seeing the ghost once, he hid behind my back again.

… What the hell is this doing?

“If it continues, it would be better to go back.”

“But the question I want to ask the ghost is… .”

Rebecca grabbed my collar and tried to see the ghost over and over again, as if she couldn’t let go of her regrets.

And that behavior was repeated in front of the ghost.

I took a deep breath as I watched Rebecca repeatedly grabbing and releasing my collar.

Then he turned around and moved to the back, covering her eyes.

“Wow, what?”

Then he muttered, putting his face slightly on Rebecca’s shoulder, who was embarrassed.

“Isn’t it enough if you don’t see ghosts?”

“But then you can’t see the future… .”

There are so many things I wish for.

I grabbed one of Rebecca’s fingers with the other uncovered hand.

I can feel her trembling. How scared are you?

“do not worry. I will always be by your side while your eyes are closed.”

“… … .”

Rebecca’s fingers gradually stop trembling.

At the same time, her fingers came up on my hand one by one.

“If that’s the case, I’d rather hold my hand… .”

“hand?”

Rebecca hung up while she was speaking, but I understood her intentions.

I carefully squeezed her hand.

Rebecca’s hand was warm and no longer trembling.

I looked at the ghost in front of me as it was.

The ghost was taking shape.

However, if there is a problem… .

‘two people?’

One ghost of a grumpy grandfather, and one ghost of a little girl who looks a bit like Adele, not Rebecca.

Is it between granddaughter and grandfather?

I didn’t hear that there were two ghosts, so I tried to tell Rebecca.

“Deron, what’s wrong?”

“… not.”

didn’t bother to say

I didn’t want to even imagine what it would be like to find out that there were two people making such a fuss with just one ghost.

I held Rebecca’s hand a little tighter and then looked at the ghost.

The grumpy-looking grandfather was making an expression that he didn’t like.

The little girl was looking at me and Rebecca with twinkling eyes.

no wait.

I checked the little girl’s appearance.

I think I saw it somewhere.

Where did you see it?

As I tilted my head, the ghost of my grandfather opened his mouth.

“I wonder how long he will show such a ferocious appearance.”

“Because I am afraid of ghosts.”

The grandfather ghost licked his tongue and then flicked his fingers.

Then, the appearance of the two ghosts, which had only been vaguely visible, became clear.

At the same time, I opened my eyes wide.

“Lily?”

“Does your uncle recognize you? Be excited.”

The ghost’s face, which had become clearer, resembled the picture of a bright young girl on Professor Akdin’s desk.

I stared blankly at her.

“excuse me? Grandpa, why is this person like this?”

“There was no problem with magic. He’s just bruising himself.”

I lifted my hand over Rebecca’s eyes and reached for Lily’s face.

But Lily’s skin was not touched.

My hand just runs through her face.

said the ghost of the grandfather.

“I just had a hallucination with magic and returned to my original form. The dead do not have a body.”

“Oh, magic?”

Rebecca opened her eyes wide and looked at the two of them.

The opaque ghost looks like a human due to hallucinations, so it looks better now.

I stared intently at the hand that passed through Lily’s face.

The child that Professor Akdin wanted to save is now in front of me.

“Perhaps… Are you the Iliad?”

“Oh, does this generation of saints recognize me? That monster recognized this kid before me.”

“grandfather. Are you sure you’re jealous?”

“Is that possible?”

Iliad.

Knowing what the name meant, I was silent.

The original owner of this academy and one of the builders of Lennock’s dungeon.

The magic of this time. A being who half-ordered the system.

The first archmage was in front of me.

Lily came over to me with a bashful smile.

Looking at her bright smile, I think I can understand why Professor Akdin wanted to save her daughter.

Had I lost that smile, the feeling of loss would have been indescribable.

“mister. Have you seen my dad?”

“… … .”

I shut my mouth. Lily waved her hand.

“it’s okay. Because I’ve seen it all.”

“Your father always wanted to see you.”

“I know that too. Because we have already met once.”

you know? meet you once?

I wanted to know what that meant, but I didn’t have to ask.

I didn’t want to see the girl’s bright smile turn into a sad one.

No, her smile may already be mixed with sadness.

That day, from the moment I died.

Rebecca turned her gaze to Lily.

It seems that Lily appeared when she got out of the shock of meeting the Iliad.

“Lee, Lily? Are you the daughter of Professor Akdin?”

“Yeah, that’s my dad’s name. My sister… Are you the saint who only heard of those words?”

I didn’t know why I was an uncle and Rebecca was a saint, but I didn’t bother to ask.

Rebecca reached out a trembling hand and stroked Lily’s head.

No, to be precise, I pretended to be petting him.

Because it was in the state of the soul, the touch would not have been felt.

“Do you know me?”

“sure. When I was alive, my dad called my sister over and over again.”

“… … ..”

A father who takes his sick daughter and calls out the name of the saint.

The situation is portrayed as if it were right in front of my eyes.

And Rebecca bit her lip as if she wasn’t the only one who imagined it.

Lily looked at it and put her head toward Rebecca’s hand.

You won’t feel anything, but you pretend to be stroked.

“it’s okay. my grandfather told me My disease cannot be cured even with divine power, but rather a disease that rejects divine power.”

“Hey, uh, uh, huh.”

“He also told me that I am here because of him.”

me?

I pointed my finger at me.

Lily nodded her head.

“What have I done to remain a ghost?”

“I heard your blood got into the ring I had?”

tilted his head. If it’s Lily’s ring, you’re probably referring to that red ring.

But have my blood ever been in it?

‘Ah, maybe… ?’

When I went to visit Krebiton, I remembered the bloodshed.

The blood that was spit out in front of Erina at that time seemed to seep into the ring.

“But why?”

“Your aura is a bit unusual, and my grandfather told me that the blood that soaked into the ring was mixed with the secret arts.”

“In short, it means that your energy mixed with the secret arts and brought this child’s soul here.”

Lily and I nodded at the explanation of the Iliad that followed.

Too many possibilities overlapped to be a coincidence.

I didn’t bother making a fuss.

I couldn’t say that until I saw Lily smiling brightly in front of my eyes.

The clouds were scattered in the sky and the moonlight was coming down.

and.

A lily from somewhere blocked my view.
