The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All-Novel

Han Soo-Young, who had been waiting for Margo's arrival more than anyone else, released the limits of the undead that she was suppressing as soon as she felt his energy.

The one who reacted with the fastest speed was, of course, Lee Myung-Joon.His entire body was covered with the branches of the World Tree, and his movements were restrained, but he was able to recover his body in just a few tenths of a second, and at the same time, cover his entire body with thunderbolts.

Right now, there was no one faster than him in this place.

Even more so if he had the full backing of Han Soo-Young.A loud thunder resounded.

And it rushed towards Margo, who raised his claws, aiming at the young Han Soo-Young's neck, like a thunderbolt.

His horn was broken and his limbs were twisted.Someone's painful scream resounded along with the pungent smell of burning flesh.

"Ak, akkkkkk! Argghh! N, nooooo!!!"

Even in the midst of his scream, Margo twisted the space desperately to escape.But Han Soo-Young wasn't someone who would let him run away.

Reiko Fujiwara's papers began to stick to his whole body.

"Ugg, aa! Ah! Stop it! Leave me alone!"

Margo desperately struggled, but the paper that kept sticking to him stuck to his body as if it had been coated with glue.

"Oh, no! Ariman! Save me! I'm sure you're watching, you b*stard! Please! Pleaseee! Not like this... !"

A dragon's roar could be heard.

At some point, an oriental dragon with glowing black scales circled around Margo, opening its mouth wide at him.At the sight of it, Margo gulped dryly and froze in place.

"Shut your mouth, and don't move a single claw."

A cold voice choked his neck, warning him.

"If you make even the slightest noise or move, it will immediately chew you up."

Han Soo-Young said so and added.

"But you won't die, so it won't matter. But I can cause you more pain than you can imagine, and I know very well that you are an absurdly weak b*stard to such pain."

"Sa, save……Gaaaaah!"

As soon as Margo opened his mouth, his right leg was cut off.When Ahn Joo-Hyuk approached him and trampled on his foot, his leg was cut off.

Margo trembled with tears.As the dragon approached with its mouth open, he made a terrified squeal.

"I told you to shut your mouth."

At her words, the dragon began to bite down on Margo with a grinding sound, as if it had been waiting.There was a scream that could not be considered of this world.

"I succeeded…… ."

She murmured like that, and collapsed where she was standing.

"I Succeeded…… ."

I was able to stop that future, that disastrous outcome.she muttered blankly.

Then she muttered in a trembling voice as she saw Yoo Ji-Hyuk, whose left arm was cut off and had lost consciousness.

"He, help…… ."

She trembled and murmured.Han Soo-Young said as looked at her other self, her younger past self, the one she hadn't lost consciousness yet.

"I, I can't use healing…… My mana, rather eats the body...… Ahn Joo-Hyuk's healing doesn't work either...… So...… ."

I need you who is still untainted.At her words, Han Soo-Young approached immediately without doubting.As Han Soo-Young approached, she, who was pressing his wound to stop the bleeding, stepped back and said.

"I'll guide you, so if you just move your mana…… ."

"Okay."

Two Han Soo-Young stuck to Yoo Ji-Hyuk's body.

The two hands overlapped and one mana moved according to the guidance of the other.Yoo Ji-Hyuk's severed left arm was quickly attached, but his pale face showed no signs of improving.

"Wha, what… ? You said this was healing... !"

At Han Soo-young's words, the other one muttered.

"We can't use it perfectly because we don't have that talent. This is the best we can do."

But this is enough.With those words, she took out a potion from her inner pocket.Then she carefully spilled it into his mouth, but clenched her teeth when she saw that he couldn't even swallow it.

After pondering for a moment, she handed it to her young self.

"Here."

"This is…… ."

"It's a potion."

She mumbled quietly.

"You feed it to him."

Han Soo-young accepted it as if she understood.And the other Han Soo-Young, seeing her take a small sip of it, immediately turned her head away.

There was Margo, who had just been spit out by the dragon and thrown to the ground, covered in blood.

"…… ."

"Kkeu, kkeuaaak!!! Why, why! I was staying still!!!"

Margo, whose left arm was cut off, screamed as if it was unfair.Once more, there was the sound of something smashing.

After a while, when she turned her head, Yoo Ji-Hyuk's complexion was much better than before.She blinked silently at the sight.

"It's okay. He'll be fine now."

Watching Han Soo-Young rubbing her lips, she muttered like that.Han-Soo-Young replied, I'm glad, as she took off her own jacket along with his and supported him with it like a pillow.

"…… ."

"…… ."

The two sat with Yoo Ji-Hyuk between them without saying a word.It was Han Soo-Young, the younger one, who opened her mouth first.

"Um, how old are you now… ?"

Her question was answered immediately.

"Twenty-eight."

"I, I see."

Just a moment ago, we had been fighting for our lives.No, to be exact, only she was thinking that way.

She had no intention of fighting them from the beginning.

"…… ."

There were a lot of things she wanted to ask her, but when she saw her eyes looking at Yoo Ji-Hyuk, she couldn't help but keep her mouth shut.Han Soo-Young felt indescribable discomfort and awkwardness, and was just listening to Yoo Ji-Hyuk's even breathing.

Then she heard the sound of coughing.When Han Soo-Young turned her head, she saw her gently rubbing and wiping the black blood from her palm, as if she was used to it.

"… that?"

"It's a disease."

She replied as if it was no big deal.

"It's been a while since I got sick. When I found out, it was too late and there was no one to treat me properly. As you know, treatment is not my specialty."

"That…… ."

"That's not what's important."

She glanced down at her own body.As Margo lost his power, she could feel her own reality disappearing as well.She didn't have much time left.

"… It's only up to you to believe what I say, but there are still a few things you need to know."

She muttered like that and asked Han Soo-Young how much she knew about Yoo Ji-Hyuk.After hesitating for a while, Han Soo-Young quietly replied as she looked at Yoo Ji-Hyuk, who had lost consciousness.

"The only thing I know is that he was subjected to biological experiments as a child by the Red Case and the Thorns Cross Society...… ."

Hearing her words, she nodded slightly.It seems she hasn't yet realized that it was her own misunderstanding.Then she wouldn't even know that he was from another world.It's necessary for someone to tell her that fact, but it wasn't her.

"I'll start by saying this. Urea is going to contact you someday. No matter what they say, it's all a lie, so don't accept it."

"Urea…… that wizard training institute?"

"Yes."

Han Soo-Young nodded.

"And Professor Alice Blesbuck will be fired."

She hesitated for a moment and told her.

"Perhaps you can never forgive her as I did...… But please trust me and believe in her innocence. If you think it's going to be hard, trust Ji-Hyuk, Hyun-Woo, and Cass Lyle."

"Okay."

"… And the last."

She exhaled loudly.Then she looked down at her with indescribable eyes and she muttered helplessly.Someday, you will definitely..… .

"You'll have to kill Ji-Hyuk with your own hands."

At her words, Han Soo-Young looked at her with an expression as if she had misheard her, as if saying, what are you talking about?

"… What?"

But she had a serious expression on her face.And as if she should never forget, she opened her mouth that seemed to be pressing down.

"Listen carefully, it's…… ."

* * *

Han Soo-Young continued to explain.It was mainly about what she should be careful about, and, most importantly, about the Seven Evils.

"Ji-Hyuk and Hyun-Woo in my world were killed by a scheme by Margo."

She muttered quietly and looked at one place.There, Margo, whose limbs and horns had been cut off, and even his eyes that was the source of his power had been dug up, was tied up, unconscious, with blood bubbling in his mouth.He would regenerate in time, but it would take at least a few days.

"It took me years just to figure that out. It took me years to find him who was hiding...… ."

It was he who swallowed even the largest criminal group, Red Case, in just a few years.Changing numerous identities, he had been on the run for years, as if he were mocking her.There were times when he was the president of a country, head of a guild, and sometimes a newborn baby.

She wandered for years to find him, and when she came to her senses, she was stained with the blood of countless innocent people.She wandered in search of him, knowing that all she had left was revenge and ruin.And, she had found him.

She muttered as she looked at Margo, who had collapsed and was unconscious in hatred.I wanted to kill him with my own hands, and she added quietly.

"The person who kills the Seven Evils will be cursed. And that curse cannot be lifted by anyone. That's also why I sealed them away in the past without killing them."

Even if the cursed person loses his mind even a little, the curse spreads around the world in an instant.Han Soo-Young quietly muttered that they really fit the phrase, a catastrophe that corrodes the world.

Blood gushed out with a groan.Even though she was bleeding, she didn't panic.It was that familiar for her.

"… As far as I know, there was only one person who was not cursed."

Saying that, she looked at Yoo Ji-Hyuk, who was lying unconscious.She gave a small smile, as if she knew everything.

"In my world, Ji-Hyuk killed two of the Seven Evils.… And after Ji-Hyuk and Hyun-Woo died, the only one I killed was Margo."

And I kept suffering from curses and diseases.Blood gushed out of her mouth with a groan.

"I get it, so stop talking. If you talk any more...… ."

"No."

She shook her head.

"I don't have time, now…… ."

She knew everything.

She had captured Margo, tortured him for years, and uncovered everything about him through experimentation.That's why she was able to interfere with his ability and come to this world which followed the same path.That's why she was able to swallow up his fragments and persistently able to carry on her life while suffering from curses and diseases.

That's why she was able to see another future like this now.That was enough for her.

"… I am stronger than you. And if those who are at the point of symmetry do not compete for a long time in Margo's dungeon, the weaker one will be eaten out of existence by the stronger one."

"That means…… ."

"I'm tired now."

She shook her head.Then she murmured.

"And now I have nowhere to be."

She murmured as if to say never forget.

"Don't ever forget what I said. Never…… ."

"Don't worry."

Han Soo-Young said to her other self.

"Ji-Hyuk, Hyun-Woo, Master, and everyone else…… I will protect everyone."

"I hope you can…… ."

After muttering like that, she bent down and kissed Han Soo-Young's forehead briefly.She smiled as she looked at Han Soo-Young, who looked a little perplexed.

"I gave you a little blessing. Necromancer's blessing. It sounds ominous, but...… ."

Muttering like that, she looked down at her own hands and let out an ah.

"It's starting now."

Her body was slowly turning to dust from the ends.Then she shouted in an urgent voice as if she had almost forgotten.

"… Potion bottle! Put my blood in a potion bottle. Hurry!"

At her words, Han Soo-Young immediately brought the potion bottle and filled it with her black, sticky blood.Then she said as she watched close the stopper tightly and seal it.

"It should be more powerful than any other curse. I'm sure there'll be a good place to use it. Or you can use it as a catalyst...… ."

As she was muttering, she fell to her knees with a thud.Her feet had long since turned to dust and disappeared.

"…Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing."

She shook her head.

"Can you just watch? If you are okay with it."

Because I don't want to be alone.she whispered quietly.

Han Soo-Young nodded without saying a word.She was her other self, one of her own futures.It was the end of a life that Han Soo-Young of all people shouldn't avert her eyes from.

"… Ah."

Then, someone approached her, staggering.Yoo Ji-Hyuk.And it was Choi Hyun-Woo.

When she saw the two undead figures, she suddenly burst into tears.

"I, I'm sorry…… ."

She covered her mouth with both hands.Still, she couldn't stop the sobbing.

"Both of you, I'm sorry…… because of me……Because of me, both of you...… ."

She was always looking at the backs of the two.

Even though the three were always together, she couldn't shake off the thought that they were not together.The feeling of falling behind.What if she can't walk with those two, what if she's the only one left behind?With this worry, she tried desperately to follow them.The distance will grow closer, and my efforts will be rewarded.And the three of us will always be together...… .

As she thought about that, she suddenly raised her head and looked.She was the only one on the road.

The two of them had gone too far away leaving her behind.But only now.At last…… .

"Finally, I finally caught up…… ."

It was long.It was too long.Even though it was such a long and lonely journey, she had not stopped.

It was for only one reason.

Before she knew it, the two were standing in front of her.She, Han Soo-young asked, looking up at the two people who were her everything, shedding her tears.

"Can I go with you now… ? I don't want to be alone anymore...… ."

You guys are going to scold me.You will be angry.Why did you do that? Why did you do such a thing?But…… .

"I just…… Just…… missed you guys so much...… ."

It was just that.She was smiling as she teared up and shed tears constantly.The end of a long and distant journey was now in her sight.

"…… ."

"…… ."

Yoo Ji-Hyuk and Choi Hyun-Woo's bodies began to collapse.It was only natural because the death of Han Soo-Young, who was maintaining their body, was near.

The six guild masters' undead had long since collapsed.

"Ah…… ."

Just like Han Soo-Young, the two bodies began to turn to dust.And they both slowly fell forward.Soon after, the three of them looked like they were embracing.

"…… ."

Han Soo-Young shed tears as she silently hugged the two bodies.She couldn't even feel the pain anymore.It was just strange that she had been so heartbroken at the deaths of Choi Hyun-Woo and Yoo Ji-Hyuk that she felt like she was going to die, but now her own death was not.

Then, suddenly.Very suddenly, Han Soo-Young remembered the three of them going to the valley together.She murmured as she buried her head in the arms of the two who had now disappeared to the point of being almost unrecognizable.

"Ah, I'm hungry…… ."

A necromancer who had brought a world to the brink of destruction, killed many heroes, hunters, and villains, and eventually hunted even the Seven Evils.Uttered just a single word, as she faced her own death.

"I want to eat the spicy soup that Ji-Hyuk made...… ."

That was the end of her words.That was the end.

With that, they became one wind as it were.

"…… ."

In the blowing wind, Han Soo-Young just silently looked at the place where they were.

* * *

Margo's dungeon began to collapse.

A light wind blew.
