I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

Chapter 28-1: - Regressor (3)

Chapter 28-1: - Regressor (3)

Students in class S were entitled to occupy the dormitory alone. However, it was not the case for everyone.

Edna was like that.

She shared a dormitory with four people, because she wanted to spend time with children her age.

She liked to hang out with people, and she was friendly with everyone from Class F to Class A, so she always had students from other classes coming over to her dorm.

Seven children were still huddled together, drinking desserts, coffee and chatted happily in that narrow space of 60 square meters.

Edna, are you okay?"

In the meantime, someone approached as Edna was trembling with her head stuck in the pillow.

It was Jecky.

... Uh."

What is it? Tell us.

"Thats right."

Are you worried about something?

Its just menstrual cramps, so dont worry about it.

"Really?"

Then, the other girls quickly stopped paying attention to Edna and started talking amongst themselves again.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">How can I say anything? Im not supposed to tell anyone, I have to suffer alone.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'Baek Yu-Seol... he said that he forgot his purpose...'

Undoubtedly.

A side effect of regression was the loss of one's most precious memories and purpose.

He was really walking forward with a sense of mission, while leaving behind everything in the process.

Also, he said he wanted to live. Those words were heartbreaking, like drilling a nail through Ednas heart.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">He wants to live.

If someone else had said that, she would have probably dismissed it, but Baek Yu-Seol was different.

If it was true that he returned with the power of the Silver Moon... then he would disappear immediately after fulfilling his mission, and his existence would be completely erased from this world.

Without leaving any records, memories, or even traces.

Maybe, she wouldnt even remember this conversation we had today.

Everything.

Or so she thought.

If he was a regressor, he must have an aim which could make him fearless even under the threat of being wiped off.

But no. With a sense of mission, he returned to save the world, but... He still wanted to live.

He knew that he would die eventually, and he was afraid, but he was still going to move down the path.

Didn't he say, let's tell each other half the truth?'

She too easily made a promise that should never be broken. From now on, he

She would never pry into any secrets he had.

And... if he had the same purpose as her, she would try to support him as much as possible.

T-Dick!

The alarm magic rang on the door lock of the dormitory.

[Haewonryang: Call to Edna]

One of the other students stood in amazement as she checked the automatically engraved letters.

"Pooh, Edna? That Haewonryang came to visit you?

..... Press the absent button.

"But......."

"Haewonryang is here..."

However, Edna completely stretched over the blanket to cover her head, too lazy to reply.

After looking at her for a while, Jecky looked at everyone's expression.

'Then, by any chance, if I... go out, will it be alright?'

Her heart beat faster. She knew it was pointless, but she couldn't bear the thought of not seeing his face.

She struggled quite a bit to glance at Edna, but she didnt seem to be in the condition to walk out.

If so, how could she possibly turn her attention to someone else?

"Guys. I'll go out for a while.

Jecky sneaked out of the dormitory without the other children's knowledge, and went down to the first floor.

In the distance, Haewonryang blankly looked at the night sky.

She saw him under the hazy light. Even those indifferent and cold eyes appeared beautiful to her.

"Hey...."

.......

When Jecky shyly called out, Haewonryang looked back. <em class="chakra-text css-0">Let's think positively. Edna is absent, I just came to tell you that. In the meantime, it would be nice if we could have a conversation even if it is only one word

However, the reality was much harsher than that.

Who are you?

Yes?"

Jecky stammered at that, genuinely embarrassed.

So far, if not often, she still accompanied Edna, and had shown her face on a few occasions. Even if he couldnt remember her, he must have at least looked at her name tag a few times.

I, I'm Ednas friend...

" Wheres she?"

Even in the midst of this, Haewonryang, who only had eye for Edna, was remorseful, but he tried to get those thoughts out of his head.

Now shes sleeping because shes a little sick, and cant walk....

At her words, Haewonryang blankly stared into the air.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'Did he lose her energy just because she confessed to a trash student and then got dumped...'

A deep sense of defeat pierced his heart.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'What on earth do you like about a man who is inferior in everything?'

What was the point of being considered as a successor of the Manwol Tower? He was an inferior student who could not beat even Maeyuseong, who only learned magic as a hobby, and was an idiot who could not even express his feelings to a woman.

Even while he fooled around, Mayuseong would reach heaven in an instant with his talent, and Baek Yu-Seol could move the heart of Edna with his glib tongue.

In the meantime, all he could do was... Be jealous and envy them.

No matter how hard he tried, he did not have the confidence to acquire the talent of Mayuseong and Baek Yu-Seol.

That moment.

Haewonryang's head was filled with chaos.

He felt the pain course through his soul.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'Jealousy? An inferiority complex? Why am I feeling like this...'

Weird.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">If it were me, I would never have thought of such a thing.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Why do negative, dirty and ugly thoughts keep running through my head?

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'I must daze out of it. It shouldnt overwhelm me.

*It must be because of stress lately. *Haewonryang thought so and said to Jecky.

"I get it. I will go back. Tell her to take care in my stead.

"Yes....

After saying that in a worried voice, Haewonryang disappeared in the direction of the men's dormitory.

Jecky, who was staring at him, gritted her teeth and clenched her fist so hard that her fingernails dug into her palms.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">It's annoying.

She was in a bad mood. I am annoyed, fucking annoyed.

It had always been like this.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">'Why? Why? Edna only? Why?'

Anytime, anywhere, anyone.

Everyone only looked at Edna.

The person who always received the spotlight was her, and the person who received love was also Edna.

She had a beautiful appearance that made everyone feel as if she had descended from heaven, a friendly personality that attracted everyone, and a special talent for handling the magic of different races.

She had everything.

Even Jecky's first crush had a thing for her.

Jecky blankly looked up at the night sky.
