I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy

Justitia’s heavy blow blows Eleanor away.

After a bout of rolling on the floor, Eleanor repeated clearing her throat as if she was nauseous.

“It’s black.”

Eleanor felt a shock that twisted her stomach. It was a heavy blow. Physically, as well as the meaning contained in it.

“hahahaha… … .”

However, Justitia, who struck with all her might, was also not as good as her body.

I had poured almost all my mana into the sword, but when it was destroyed, I was able to reach it only after piercing through the scattered mana and blade fragments.

Even in the attack that hit Eleanor, the original power that did not carry anything.

There are bound to be more losses than gains.

But not with Justitia. Because she wasn’t fighting to win.

“How do you feel? Eleanor.”

“It hurts.”

“right?”

sick.

how can it not hurt

The person he admired more than anyone threw away even an object that was no different from his symbol for something like himself.

I knew how heavy the weight of the meaning was without words.

“I feel like I am being punished.”

“I’m glad you think so.”

Justitia muttered as she warmed up. It should feel like being punished.

Because she actually intended to punish. It was necessary to show some bitterness to the foolish sister who blamed everything on herself.

You have to be able to think that being sick is unfair so that you can regain a little bit of the old selfishness again.

Her little sister is just right for being a little brazen.

“therefore? What do you want to do? Will you come back smoothly? Or would you like more?”

“Whoa… … .”

Eleanor also brushed herself off and got up.

sick. It hurts but what does that mean? If it was just a decision to give in to this pain, I wouldn’t have done it.

Eleanor raised her sword.

Just because the opponent is bare-handed, there is no need to adjust to it.

Now that she has come and cried out for fairness, the path she decided to go on was not clear.

It’s ridiculous that she pursues the right.

“I want to do my last duty. So I can’t go back pretending not to know like this.”

The advantage is on Eleanor’s side. Because the opponent has already lost their weapon.

“Eleanor, you seem to have gone too far back in time. Maybe that’s the old version of you that I didn’t know about.”

Probably before meeting Decentra.

It was a time when he took for granted that he was persecuted and ignored.

Eleanor went back to those days.

‘It’s difficult.’

Justitia sighed at the stubbornness of Eleanor.

Her sister was awesome. The sister I’m talking about now doesn’t mean Eleanor.

It’s about Decentra, who was able to open up Eleanor’s heart.

The density of time poured into Eleanor must have been different.

It would have been a situation where I could afford more than I do now.

Still, she could.

I was able to open the closed heart of Eleanor.

If so, shouldn’t she be able to do it too?

“From now on, I will no longer be a hero… … .”

have to lead

Even if it’s forced to drag it, now it has to be.

Eleanor’s commitment, duty and conviction cannot be easily bent.

I can’t even say I’m wrong. Because that’s what it means to be responsible.

But Justitia didn’t like it.

It was hard to see her younger sister willing to accept such a witch-hunt-like punishment.

“I will fight as your sister.”

It is not justice or belief.

Because she just doesn’t want to see that. Because I don’t want to see my family suffer.

“Suck!”

Justitia rushed again.

A myriad of memorizations, and a great sword wielded greatly.

Even if he digs into it, he uses a long sword in the middle and even a dagger in the middle to block the rush.

Eleanor is strong. At the same time as she realized the whole truth, the limits of growth that had been suppressing her also disappeared.

Her power is already stronger than Justitia, and the power of the key she possesses is incomparable to other powers.

The same goes for skill.

The memories that have been squeezed in through countless efforts and rigorous training are well matched.

but.

“You are still young.”

Only time is not on her side.

There is power and there is skill. However, the influence of the past has not completely disappeared. I’m not used to it.

She was weak just a short time ago, so no matter how much strength and skill she has acquired, awkwardness will inevitably remain.

“And above all.”

Justitia rushed without hesitation. After receiving Eleanor’s memorized words with her bare body and moving along the side of the greatsword she wielded widely.

I dodged the longsword she wielded by a piece of paper and grabbed her wrist.

“Who do you think taught you those skills?”

Justitia tightens her hand for a moment and twists Eleanor’s wrist.

At that grip, Eleanor frowned and dropped the sword.

Power is sufficient. However, if the opponent is holding a sword with one hand, it is enough to catch them off guard.

Of course, there’s no way Eleanor wouldn’t know that. However, because she was Justitia, she was able to catch her off guard.

All the technology Eleanor is using comes from her.

Greatswords, longswords, memorization, posture, steps, and even breathing were all taught by her.

“You are still so weak!”

Right after he took the sword and swung it to keep the greatsword in check.

Justitia burrowed into Eleanor’s arms again and grabbed her wrist with both hands while she was wielding a greatsword.

Turn the body by turning the center of gravity backward on the front foot that has been dug in like that.

He grabbed Eleanor’s wrist with both hands and swung it down.

“Cheuk!”

“I understand the path you are going to walk. But you are still very weak! There’s no way I can leave you alone like that, right?”

The second clean hit already.

If Justitia had tried to kill Eleanor, she had already killed her twice.

Of course, Eleanor was also in a state of exhaustion. But the current results prove everything.

Eleanor has gotten stronger, but she can’t defeat Justitia yet.

And Justitia couldn’t beat Theo. It was like that even at full power. The present Eleanor will be the same.

it’s dog death

“If you really want to atone, you must succeed.”

Justitia lost all her weapons and climbed on top of the fallen Eleanor and grabbed the mount.

“If you accidentally run into it and end up dying… … . then… … !”

Justitia completely blocked Eleanor’s movements with both hands.

In that state, she shed tears.

What I am about to say will hurt everyone.

“Because the death of Decentra, who tried to save you, is really dog death.”

“Ugh… … .”

Hearing those words, Eleanor also burst into tears in the end.

words I didn’t want to say.

However, there is no word that can stop Eleanor now more than this.

Justitia knew that, so she put those words into her mouth.

“Decentra… … .”

“Yes, so you have to be selfish. You must be successful like that. Only then will it give meaning to the people who risked their lives for you.”

Eleanor is weak.

Right now, she can’t achieve anything on her own.

If she died like that, even Decentra’s death would be meaningless.

Justitia poured out such cruel words over and over again. The fact that those words are effective is because she, who was a warrior, knows best than anyone else.

The way she was cured of her illness was also such cruel words.

“Your life is no longer yours alone. Chrysos’ people aren’t the only ones. I have reasons to value your life too. And so do other people.”

People and people are connected.

When one person dies, that connection is severed and the other person’s soul is also affected.

It doesn’t make sense that she wasn’t proud. Even if she is like that, it has already meant a lot to someone.

“I don’t want to go through the experience of losing my family anymore.”

she is a warrior have acted like that But she was also a person.

A person who worries about his precious people first, and who can feel the same pain when he sees them in pain.

“So, let’s go back, Eleanor.”

Justitia smiled brightly as she ran through Eleanor’s hair.

Unfortunately, there were still tears in his eyes.

* * *

Justitia, who was holding onto Eleanor and pouring out words, collapsed.

In the first place, it was due to the fact that he had poured out enough mana to the point of exhaustion, and even in that state, he repeated the crowd.

Justitia’s Victory… … It could be said, but compared to her who won, Eleanor was on the fine side.

“… … .”

Eleanor was staring blankly at the sky.

You can move on with Justitia, who has passed out, as it is.

But I couldn’t move quickly. I have a lot of thoughts.

Her negligence led to the fall of the country. Something she wouldn’t have known if she had reported it to anyone in advance.

Everyone died because they didn’t.

So, I thought I had to pay the price.

Because she was royalty. If she, a member of the royal family and no one else, stood by and caused a tragedy, she would have to take responsibility for it.

But there is already no one she has to pay for. All opponents seeking atonement died and disappeared.

So instead, I tried to get revenge for everyone. He had no doubt that his penance and suffering would be an atonement for them.

But now I don’t know.

“What should I have done?”

Eleanor asked into the air.

“As Professor Justitia said, why don’t you come back and slowly think about what you can do?”

And the answer came from behind a nearby tree.

I knew. At least one more person was here.

“It’s been a while, Lucia.”

“Yeah, long time no see, Eleanor.”

Lucia Punisher.

Through Oz’s request, the two women laughed bitterly.

“It’s sad, because I completely forgot about you right before I saw you with my own two eyes.”

“Because it’s that kind of power.”

“You mean the power of the key?”

“yes.”

“Eleanor.”

“yes?”

“Why did you leave without saying anything?”

“… … Because I thought I didn’t deserve to be with you guys.”

“why?”

“that’s… … .”

said Eleanor.

The situation she herself is in and the meaning of her actions so far.

that I hate myself

She confided to Lucia the story from her past meeting with Decentra to the present.

I don’t know why. No, maybe it was just because I was tired.

Right now, I just wanted to tell someone about my situation.

“Right.”

Upon hearing Eleanor’s story, Lucia muttered bitterly.

Isn’t that funny?

That she had the same worries as her past self.

He was able to get rid of that worry thanks to her, but she is being ruined because of it.

“Eleanor, you know. I’m not a good, noble person enough for you to rate me that way.”

That’s why Lucia also confided in Eleanor about herself.

She belongs to ＜Tenebris＞, the Empire’s spy agency.

something disrespectful? Did a lot.

Compared to Eleanor, the scale is small, but she was more vicious in that she had her own subjectivity.

“I killed a man. I can’t even remember how many people I killed on a mission.”

“… … .”

“Did I look like I wasn’t enough to be your old friend?”

“no.”

“When you didn’t know the truth about yourself yet. Were you disgusted with me next to you?”

“It can’t be.”

“I did. I, like you now, hated myself.”

Lucia said calmly.

But in that calmness, there was a piercing sadness.

“Perhaps it’s not just me.”

There are people who have hurt someone because of an unavoidable order.

There are people who took someone’s death lightly because they didn’t know the meaning.

There is a person who drove everyone to death due to a moment of neglect.

For a purpose, unknowingly, by mistake, that’s how people get hurt.

“Eleanor, don’t push yourself too hard. Among the people who died because of you, was there really only one who would resent you? Wasn’t there anyone willing to die for you?”

“… … no.”

“Who was there?”

“Decentra.”

“And?”

“Aunt Erandel.”

“And?”

“Sir Bellart.”

In response to Lucia’s question, Eleanor poured out the names of countless people.

These are the names of people who loved her unconditionally.

There were people who sacrificed for her without any ulterior motives in unknown circumstances.

Not for the royal family, but for the young and fragile girl.

“Then you don’t know anymore.”

Lucia gave a light smile.

It was because it was possible to know that Eleanor would have found the answer with just this short question and answer.

“It’s important for those who resent and curse you, but… … There are people who fought because they wanted to save you.”

“yes.”

“Fight for them. live for their sacrifice. Then Eleanor. What are you supposed to do now?”

“To defeat the monsters that pushed Chrysos into destruction.”

The conclusion is the same.

No, this conclusion was always the same.

That’s why Lucia asked the question without breaking her smile.

“And?”

Words repeated over and over again.

The answer she wanted to hear has not yet come. But it will definitely come out. So she was able to ask questions with anticipation.

“To create the best results for the person who gave it to me.”

“It’s still a bit lacking.”

Lucia walked out from behind the tree she was hiding in with a wry smile.

“You must fight to be happy, Eleanor. Because there are many people who want you to be happy. Because there are people who can only laugh when you are happy.”

she is so is marie Maybe Baekyang is like that too.

There are not many people who can laugh when a friend is unhappy.

Lucia stretched out her hand toward the fallen Eleanor.

“yes… … .”

For Eleanor, Lucia is the person she saved in the past.

But now she has reached out to save herself.

How could I not reach out to that strength?

How could he face her if he did not bend to the truth that he insisted on more than anyone else?

To shake off her hand now is to deny everything you ever said to her.

That’s why Eleanor had no choice but to hold her hand.
