Chapter 1096 – 1096. Magic School Shutra (7)
The key figure in Shutra’s mission is Lewis.
But during the course of the mission, as much as Lewis… No, someone more important than Lewis has appeared.
Dean.
A being chosen by the Zodiac and commanded to rule the world.
Just because he was chosen by the Zodiac, he was given two blessings.
A young body with endless magical talent and an undiminished lifespan.
Thanks to those two gifts, the Dean was able to take control of this world and live while being revered as a god.
In the eyes of others, a being who appears to have everything in his or her hands.
However, there was something that even the dean did not have.
Death.
When the dean learned that Claudia had died, he lost his will to live and attempted suicide.
But his first suicide attempt failed.
Maybe that was the first and last opportunity for the dean to die.
Zodiac learned of Dean’s suicide attempt and strengthened his body to prevent him from committing suicide.
The Dean became unable to kill even himself with just one reinforcement.
However, the dean only lost his will to live, but he did not lose his confidence.
The Dean was truly enraged by Zodiac’s atrocities, and he set out on a journey to kill himself.
He sought out cruel methods that had never been thought of during the Continental War, and tried much more fiercely than when he fought the main character of the Holy War.
The dean’s pride was as hot as magma, and that heat became the driving force behind his suicidal journey.
The Dean assured him that it would not be long before he embarked on his suicidal journey.
And it was just as he expected.
So the dean’s journey of suicide… In just 10 years, he ended up in front of Claudia’s tomb.
His pride, which boiled like magma and seemed to melt everything, cooled down after 10 years and was buried in a snowstorm.
With all his pride cooled, he put down everything and pleaded earnestly with the Zodiac.
Please kill me.
The Zodiac did not accept it.
But it didn’t stop there.
The Dean was 168 years old, and he pleaded with the Zodiac for death, but he did not accept it.
When the Dean was 176 years old, he begged Zodiac for death, threatening to destroy the world, but he did not accept it.
The dean was 185 years old, and he begged Zodiac for death, threatening to ruin his reputation by walking around naked like a psychopath, but he did not accept it.
Dean’s age…
…
…
He continued to beg, making threats that did not seem like threats.
In fact, the dean knew.
Even if the threat is actually carried out, the Zodiac’s trick will fail in vain…
After making countless threats and pleas, he came to one conclusion.
The fact that you can’t ask for a favor…
And at the same time, you must bow your arms and legs to them and worship them with all your heart…
The Deans began building the world they wanted for Death.
By creating a Shutra school and making all beings in the world look up to Shutra and worship him, he created the faith they wanted.
But ironically, I was able to temporarily regain peace of mind after creating the school.
The act of teaching unfamiliar students brought back memories of his fond memories.
Claudia.
Thanks to the memories of her teaching him, teaching other students brought temporary vitality to his life.
The number of students who were few gradually increased, and among those students, the best students remained by his side.
Those who are given the title of professor and assist the dean.
One person began to overlap among the professors.
A woman who started out as the dean’s student and walked next to her.
As time passed, the dean’s affection for the students decreased.
However, the diminished affection did not disappear, but rather moved.
To the professors who look more like Claudia…
The professors who received the dean’s affection began to think of the dean more than a teacher but more like a parent.
Happiness.
The dean was able to enjoy Claudia’s happiness by feeling the familial love she felt for her professors.
But that happiness didn’t last long.
Following Claudia, her first student… The second student selected as the first professor since the establishment of the Shutra School… She ended her life and died.
And a few months later, the fifth disciple… And a few months later, the seventh disciple… And a few days later, the third disciple…
The order was mixed.
However, the order was all mixed up, and all the disciples met the same ending.
Death.
From humans who worshiped him like a god, to students who respected him as a teacher, and finally to children who loved him like a father…
Those children started leaving behind the dean.
He knew.
I ran away, kept running away, and barely arrived at the fact that this Shutra school was not paradise.
The Shutra School… It was a real hell of his own making.
.
.
“… Hmm?”
The white-haired man who had quietly closed his eyes opened his eyes and narrowed his eyebrows.
The surroundings were quiet as usual.
If I had heard a small sound or felt a presence, I would have been able to understand his actions.
But there is no sound around… No sign… There was no one.
Nevertheless, the white-haired man narrowed his eyebrows as if he felt stronger.
A white-haired man who, on the outside, appears to be in an unpleasant mood.
But what he felt was far from unpleasant.
“… Looks like they’re doing something again.”
Rather, my dull senses were becoming interested in a certain stimulus.
The identity of the man who is so interested and curious is the Dean.
Although I did not know the exact cause of the stimulation, I could immediately tell who was causing the stimulation.
“What should I do this time?” .”
Seong Su-ho.
A being that suddenly appeared at Shutra School, which had been calm for a hundred years, and created waves by throwing rocks.
However, the dean turned a blind eye to Seong Su-ho’s actions.
It wasn’t because of the Zodiac’s orders.
“Heh… I’m looking forward to it.”
The pleasure of stimulation felt through waves.
And it was because of the expectation that one of those waves might be a hole through which one could escape this hell.
He tried to close his eyes again, admiring the rolling waves.
But…
“… Hmm?”
The dean frowned and stared at the place where he felt the wave.
It was clearly a wave of a type no different from usual.
But…
“…”
The dean stared at that place with a serious expression, unlike usual.
He, who had always been sitting calmly, suddenly stood up.
And the moment you take a step towards the cause…
“…”
I stopped and couldn’t move any further.
He took just one step and stayed still…
“… “It must be an illusion.”
I mumbled and sat down at the table again.
The Dean closed his eyes again.
The appearance of him sitting at the table with his eyes closed was the same as before.
But unlike before, the dean…
“It must be a mistake…”
He kept clenching and opening his hands and couldn’t stay calm.
The dean is restless like a child with ADHD.
He kept muttering those words as if brainwashing himself.
“It must be an illusion.”
In the dean’s hand, which was tightly held while muttering like that…
“Okay… It must be an illusion.”
Bright red blood began to flow out and cover the table.
***
Suddenly, a cold feeling as if ice water had been poured onto my back made me groan involuntarily.
“Huh… !”
When I suddenly let out a strange moan, Kang Han-na, who was next to me, screamed in horror.
“What is it? Suddenly?”
“Oh, I suddenly got chills.”
“Oh, what else can I say…” .”
Strong I sighed and went back to what I was doing.
I asked, assisting her in her work beside her strong self.
“It’s taking longer than I thought?”
What she was doing was…
“It’s almost done now. “Now all that’s left is her arms and her head.”
It was to assemble Claudia’s body.
Claudia’s body prepared in advance on the ship.
Even though Claudia’s body type was small, it was quite difficult to bring her whole body.
So, it was decided to bring it here in a pre-separated form and then assemble it.
I asked while assisting Kang Han-na in assembling the separate bodies.
“It’s easy to bring it in and assemble it, but… “Isn’t it safe to make it assembled from scratch?”
I was a little anxious.
Shiho’s body on the ship can be immediately resolved if a problem arises, so assembling it in this way seemed to be no problem.
However, Claudia’s situation is very different from Shiho.
Instead of a lifetime after-sales service guarantee, you should be given a product that will not have any problems even if you use it for a lifetime.
Kang Han-na must have realized what I was worried about and answered with a grin.
“Oh… “Are you sure I’m not trustworthy?”
“No, that’s not it…”
“Foot… Don’t worry. “It wasn’t anyone else, you asked me to do it, but I would have made it without much effort.”
Kang Han-na began to explain why she did it this way.
“When transferring the spirit of a living person, a fully assembled body is much better, as you said.”
“Why?”
“The information of the body remains intact. If you build it based on that, there will be no problem at all. But without a body…”
Strong I placed Claudia’s head on her neck and shrugged her shoulders.
“You have to put your soul into it and keep adjusting the problematic areas. So it’s easier to edit if everything is separated.”
“Aha…”
I understand.
No, if I think about it, I think I’ve heard it before…
Separation of the body is a field that is difficult for me to understand, so no matter how many times I hear about it, I keep forgetting about it.
“You said it was a synchronization operation, right? How long does that take?”
“I’m confident that I’ve done a good job, but I’m sure problems will continue to arise during the adjustment process. One… “I guess I’ll have to wait three months.”
In other words, Kanghan Na, and she will be staying in my dormitory for 3 months.
I held Claudia’s spare body tightly so that Kang Han-na could assemble Claudia’s head and looked around her.
First of all, Kang Han-na is assembling Claudia’s head…
“Lena, please move down a little.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Lena is holding Claudia’s body just like me.
And Claudia and Shiho are having a faceless conversation in an awkward pose in the air.
(… I was sorry earlier.)
(Well, I didn’t do anything well either… So I’ll skip it.)
Claudia apologized first, and Shiho accepted her apology coolly.
The two people continued their conversation without looking at each other.
(By the way… How old are you really?)
(What is it? Is it really getting old again?)
(No, I’m just asking because I’m curious. I never thought I’d see a fox person in my life.)
(Sigh… If you add the sealed period… Wouldn’t it be about 500?)
(What, was it my sister? I’m only over 300 years old. But why does she call me oppa? Even though she’s older.)
(…)
Shiho glanced at me, noticed me, and then suddenly dragged Claudia and headed somewhere.
(… You come here for a moment.)
(Ugh! Wait, sister! I need to see my body!! Hey!! Don’t touch my stomach!! Rather touch my breasts…!)
Claudia held out her hands towards me and screamed.
However, her oriole-like scream and frightened expression disappeared as she passed through the wall.
‘… How many people are in this small room?’
I wasn’t particularly dissatisfied.
On the contrary, I felt sorry.
“Hannah, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. “I’ll move it to another location.”
It doesn’t matter if the physical synchronization work is not in my room.
It’s not cramped, but it’s true that it’s noisy and complicated.
It wasn’t my decision to do body synchronization in my room in the first place.
“No, it’s okay. “I’m naturally more focused on noisy places.”
“… ? “Don’t you like being alone?”
It’s strange.
The Kang Han Na I know was a woman who didn’t even like white noise.
Kang Han Na heard what I said…
“… “Please lower your upper body.”
“… ?”
Without answering, I just focused on assembling Claudia’s head.
Claudia’s body, which was assembled so diligently under Han Na’s orders…
“And… After all, it’s different because you assemble it.”
〈I was lying peacefully on my bed like Sleeping Beauty〉.
No, I think I need to add one more modifier.
“I think I need to make my breasts bigger, what do you think?”
“…”
“…”
〈The naked princess of Sleeping Beauty〉 was lying peacefully on my bed.
