I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Chapter 156

Auril remembers.

“To some extent, I know.”

“yes… … ?”

“You know?”

Ainim and Hira asked at the same time.

Did Auril already know what he didn’t know after seeing each other every day for over a year?

“Because I told you.”

Euril replied without a hint of surprise.

“Because I see you every day and always feel sorry for you while treating me well. So I asked.”

though he ran away

Rockstrin didn’t run away.

It would have been enough if I left him alone, but he did not hesitate to come find me even though my hands and body were frozen.

“It’s all because of you.”

“So what did you say?”

“answer… … .”

It’s a little embarrassing memory, so the cheeks that I slightly turned the other way turned red.

“just… … .”

Now that I think about it, I don’t know what spirit I was in when I said that.

It wasn’t a little bit.

“At that time, it was right after Rockstrin woke up after passing out… … .”

that you will love it for the rest of your life

i said that

The inside of the wagon is suddenly hot. Auril dropped the hand holding the vial.

If someone touches you right now, you won’t be cold at all.

Seeing Aulil like that, Ai-sama burst into a small laugh. I vaguely thought that would be the case, but now I am convinced.

Everyone Loxtrin cares about is a good person, without exception. I made it that way, so I can save it.

The conclusion came easily.

“Then what is it? All three of us are fine.”

“Yes.”

“yes.”

“What are you hiding for? Rox is an idiot.”

In terms of guilt, in the first place, Ainim and Hira had no reason to greatly rebuke them.

Ainim is a member of the royal family of the mighty Empire Rongurt, and a genius of the century.

Hira is the only eldest daughter of Yuxilla, a great aristocrat, even in such a Rongrut, and she is very resourceful at such a young age.

“I only told the person I most wanted to hide.”

“Whoa, it’s like Rocks.”

Auril, on the other hand, is perhaps the one for which Roxtrin feels most guilty.

She would not be able to hide it from Euril, who has lived her entire life cursed and without warmth, who must continue to live like that.

“What exactly do you mean?”

Only vaguely aware of it, Euril did not know the exact circumstances.

To Euril, who asked, Ai-nim explained as simply as possible.

“To put it plainly, um, not all fairy tales actually happened, right?”

“Fairytale… … .”

“Once upon a time, a hero lived in a certain village, defeated a demon king, and so on.”

“To be specific, there are fellow warriors, each with their own circumstances, and someone gets injured or dies while fighting the demon king. Even things like this.”

“right.”

Hira added.

“The Rocks, for example, made up that story, and it unintentionally became real.”

“Then it kind of makes sense what Rox could have done. Maybe he wasn’t a genius, as Rocks often claims.”

“Um, I don’t know about that. Would a normal person be able to do that?”

Magic, diplomacy, military, politics, even food or play. He is talented in many ways.

Even if they didn’t have that kind of talent, before that, people’s personalities themselves were different.

Euril asked quietly.

“But according to that, shouldn’t there be a crisis in Rockstrin? Why are you being dangerous?”

“I am of the same opinion. Why are Rocks so dangerous? You should have known.”

“That part I am not sure about. I can guess, but.”

Ainim informed Aeuril of the existence of the ‘Episode’, which had been given to Rockstrin, and now only visible to Hera.

“Maybe something else?”

“It’s different.”

“In the story that Rocks first created, it has now moved away. Because The Rocks did too much.”

Let’s elaborate a bit more.

It seems that the character of ‘Rockstrin Aindarok’ itself was not the center of the story from the beginning.

I think this is a difficult part to understand unless you are a child, so it was difficult to explain.

probability.

There is a ‘plausibility’ in every story. Lockstrin Aindarok doesn’t have that.

The child likes fairy tales.

To the extent that he ordered his servants to compile a book containing all the stories that could only be passed down through oral tradition anywhere in the empire.

fantasy.

People love stories that are out of touch with reality, but hate things that are too far removed from reality.

It’s because you can’t empathize properly or fully immerse yourself.

Rockstrin’s move is too far removed in that respect.

Although we can cheer for the warrior who falls down and rises again in appropriate crisis and despair.

From the beginning to the end, he could not put himself into the iron man who moves forward without rest or sleep.

Well, isn’t that kind of story funny?

The story shouldn’t be too easy, and it shouldn’t be too difficult either. However, if you work hard, you should be able to be happy.

Does Rox think so too?

“When the monsters first invaded the campus… … . Rox could have saved enough of those who died.”

“But that means you didn’t save it on purpose.”

“Because Rox was scared too.”

I didn’t know that I would be lost in the story I wrote.

Because I would have been afraid of being thrown into an uncertain future.

However, Rocktrin realizes.

“I learned that killing those children myself is much scarier.”

“Yeah, to the point of fainting. Even that story wouldn’t have been a bright story. There are many such things in fairy tales.”

There are many fairy tales in which hundreds of people die ridiculously.

Tragic narratives provide readers with the opposite sense of relief. The demand is also not small.

Therefore, he changed his behavior.

It means to change the planned future.

In the midst of a mixture of what is known and what is not known, Roxtrin did not hesitate to make extreme choices.

I will save everyone if possible.

“When did Auril first meet Rox?”

“When I just started the first semester last year.”

“You’ve been paying attention since the beginning. The same would be true of Frid, and we were probably the main protagonists of the story.”

There are only a few people whom Roxtrin pays special attention to.

When Ai-nim said that, Hira replied with an awkward smile.

“I do not know. Except for me.”

“yes? why?”

“The Rocks did. I was unplanned.”

exactly useless.

Now, if you look at the members of the technical department, they are all great.

Hera, who had no intention of mastering magic properly, would not have been able to fulfill the role that Rocktrin expected. Thanks to the Imagination Theory created by Ainim and Rockstrin, they are barely keeping pace.

“Thank you, Hira.”

In the rattling wagon, Ai-sama suddenly said that.

“yes? Suddenly?”

“I think you know why the episode was given to Hira and not me.”

“I don’t know… … .”

“At first, Rocks looked uneasy.”

Rocktrin is cowardly.

Even if you change your course of action, your worries will have preceded you.

He might have become a bit more bold now, as he went through many things, but his legs were trembling even when he fell in Areas’s prison.

“It must have been very scary whether he would be able to lead this story the way he thought. Because the Rocks are alone.”

Ai-nim can’t give you certainty.

Because it was already part of a long plan. I always had to be anxious about not knowing when it would go wrong.

“So Hira, you were the first to convince me. Because I even attracted people who didn’t exist.”

Unexpectedly, Hira Yuxilla came into the hands of Roxtrin. The inside of Rockstrin has changed a lot.

I stopped shaking.

then i’m sure

I can change this story.

“And Euril.”

Auril, who would have been the biggest guilt, would have been the biggest burden in Rocktrin’s heart.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“For not hating Rocks. thank you.”

“yes.”

Auril nodded.

Compared to last year, Rockstrin is wearing a more relaxed expression these days. Whatever you think is going smoothly.

“Then I will tell you when I go back. We all know.”

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but Ai-sama wanted to make one thing clear.

“Yes, I will help you until the end.”

Hira nodded and replied.

“And you nothing.”

Auril also answered with her eyes closed.

Rocktrin, nothing.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.”

The bed is not comfortable.

It’s not like I’m dreaming at all. can’t sleep deeply

“… … What time is it, anyway?”

I’ve woken up three times already. The scenery outside the window is pitch black, just like when you first fell asleep.

There are some insecurities.

Ainim and Hira, who suddenly left campus, sent a letter in two days. Something urgent happened, so don’t worry. It’s not a dangerous thing.

The problem is that it is a repertoire that I often used. I mean, it was mostly risky.

It was uncomfortable to fall asleep because of something I couldn’t do right now.

Thinking that everyone would have felt the same way if I just disappeared from the campus, I feel sorry.

This is why people have to experience it. By the way, it’s easy to say.

“Grunt.”

finally got up

Sleep patterns will be out of sync, but wouldn’t it be okay to take a nap in the poor room like Ai-nim?

I have been looking for the Garden of the Tower of Truth for the first time in a while. If it was moderately late at night, I would have run into students, but now it was completely dawn, so no one was there.

“It didn’t come out.”

There are no lights at this late hour. Only a few red lights patrolling flicker.

If you look up, there are no stars in the sky, probably because there are many clouds.

Tok.

“Five.”

Drops of water splashed on the back of the hand placed over the railing, and it looked like it was about to rain.

It hasn’t rained in days. It’s summer soon, and there are so many flower beds on the Summer Turf campus that gardeners are busy watering them every day.

When it rains, you don’t have to water for about three days, so you can save trouble. Gardeners need some rest too.

“… … Rockstrin?”

“what. senior.”

It’s nice to see a familiar face by chance at a time like this. Looking back, Baeller showed his face.

“Did you wake up too?”

“Strangely, I couldn’t sleep.”

“It’s a coincidence. I woke up three times or so. I just left.”

“Today, I think I should take a nap in the stale room.”

“That’s right, what.”

Together, they leaned their arms against the railing and were hit by the small drops of rain.

I was just staring at the pitch-black landscape in silence, when suddenly a light shone from the newly built Tower of Hope.

It doesn’t just sparkle, it spins like it’s excited. If you look closely, you might think it’s heart-shaped.
