Before I knew it, I was back to reality, and my shoulders were trembling slightly.
Even though I knew that none of it was something I had personally experienced,
The trembling of my body refused to subside.
"Ah."
Only after a long time had passed
Was I able to let out a groan mixed with a sigh.
And then.
Ugh- Ugh-.I vomited everything in my stomach until yellow bile came out.
All the black jelly I had eaten in the morning came back up.
The lumps looked similar to the maggots I had eaten in Samuel's memories, and I felt another wave of nausea rising.
What the hell did I do?
Having directly experienced the horrors of the war I had described, an indescribable disgust washed over me.
And I could understand Samuel's words and actions so far.
'So that's why.'
The reason Samuel despised and hated me, a half-demon.
The guy who betrayed him and his mother was a half-demon.
Of course, it seemed like she had her own circumstances.
'...Who is evil, anyway?'
Naturally, I couldn't help but wonder.
I had clearly described humans as purely good and demons as purely evil.
But.
'Is that really something that humans, or even demons, can do?'
I don't know if the human mage who blew up Samuel's room did it on purpose, but Samuel was driven to the brink of starvation and had to eat his own mother.
Even if there was no intention behind it.
There's no denying that killing the weak who are unarmed is not something good people would do.
'I.'
What am I supposed to do?
I feel like my values are all tangled up in my head.
I patted my throbbing head and got up.
Then I looked blankly at the necklace that had suddenly gone quiet.
- …….
The necklace, which had been glowing brightly, was now extinguished.
A faint light flowed from the beads that had been slightly filled.
Perhaps when it was fully charged,
I would be able to experience someone else's past once again.
It was an experience I never wanted to go through again.
"Is this what you wanted to show me?"
I snapped at 'that guy' who couldn't hear my voice.
It seemed like he was trying to wake me up to the fact that humans are not all good by showing me Samuel's past.
However.
Does that make the Demons good?
‘It wasn’t long ago that they were ruthlessly murdering prisoners.’
The Demons also ordered Sytan’s students to kill unarmed human prisoners.
Where is the good in this tragic scene? Where is the justice?
……I don’t know.
I don’t know what the right thing to do is.
One thing is for sure.
I have to defeat Leon Terias, the descendant of Samuel and Adel’s enemy family.
I can’t beat him with my current strength, but…
‘I’ll never know unless I try.’
Let's not say anything discouraging.
Even if I keep telling myself I'll lose, I won't find a way to win.
I have no choice but to fight.
‘Rather than that, the ability to see the past.’
I stared blankly at the necklace.
It’s definitely not a bad ability.
I could spy on my opponent’s past and find out their weakness.
I could also steal stories or secrets that I could use for my own purposes.
But that’s about it.
‘It doesn’t seem valuable enough to be a priority.’
I wasn’t very interested.
I didn’t need to try to figure out the secret of the necklace right now.
It’s better to focus on getting stronger.
To do that, I need to go to Samuel’s group first.
I’ve wasted too much time already.
I shared my vision with Sijo as I headed towards the secret place where they would be.
Woong-.
And then Samuel and the Class A students appeared.
‘…They seem fine for now.’
I had experienced Samuel’s memories for several days, but only about ten minutes seemed to have passed in reality.
I felt relieved and looked at Samuel and his group.
― ……!!
The students moved in unison as Fron shouted something.
She wasn’t perfect, but she was desperately fulfilling her role as commander in my stead.
At Fron’s command, the students spread out into a defensive formation as if to protect Samuel.
‘That’s the right choice.’
Samuel was the one who could use the most powerful magic among Sytan’s students.
Behind the students, Samuel cast magic.
―――――――――――!!
Samuel’s magic swept over the students of the Imperial Academy.
However, the human students’ strength was considerable, so they managed to withstand Samuel’s magic once.
It would take time for Samuel’s magic to activate again.
In the end, the battle became a stalemate once more.
The students of Sytan and the human students began to clash head-on.
