A Veteran of the Hero Academy

“Really Amy? Amy- Did you really come to save me? I was so scared. I wanted to give up everything-“

Emilla, who was clinging to Amy’s hand, called out earnestly.

The moment Amy saw Emilla, memories resurfaced.

I wondered how he thought of giving up on Emilla.

Emilla, whom she had been with since childhood, was Amy’s everything.

No, it was not enough to say everything.

Although my mind was blurry for a moment while mixing with Aiden, the moment I saw Emilla, my hazy mind returned.

He was always weak, so he couldn’t play with the village children-

To protect Emilla like that, Amy trained hard.

Because there’s nothing harder than being a beautiful woman in this damn world.

In the end, Amy was able to earn the qualification of an intermediate warrior.

On the day that Amy got her Intermediate Champion, she and Emilla hugged each other and cried profusely.

After becoming an intermediate warrior, he left the village to receive a small mission.

At that time, I felt a sense of uneasiness, but Emilla smiled and pushed me away.

He’ll be here to tell you to go quickly.

When Amy returned from her mission, the village had already been shattered.

Amy thought this might be hell.

They hurriedly ran to their place of residence, but that place was no exception.

The thin, white arms that hugged and stroked him every night were strewn with blood.

That sadly fine hand was holding something strong.

Amy checked the object in her hand with trembling hands.

One day, while passing by, he heard a ring that he had seen and said was pretty.

The ring that joked that one day I would like to receive a wedding proposal with a ring like this.

The ring lay in a lump covered with blood.

“Yeah, it’s me, Emilla! I’m a little late, sorry-“

Amy took off her clothes, covered her and walked again.

“Ugh- Seeing Amy again… God must really exist- I do it every day…”

Emilla called out to Amy with a weeping voice.

If there was a god, he wouldn’t have caused such a thing to happen to you, who is as kind as snow.

Feeling a fiery rage, Amy swallowed the insult.

Because Emilla hates swearing.

“…Don’t worry, Emilla said I’d protect her.”

Amy whispered while hugging Emilla, who was so light that it could fit in one hand.

“…Yes, I believed- Amy. Thank you, my love, Amy.”

Emilla smiled weakly and dug into Amy’s arms.

Amy tried to kiss Emilla’s small mouth like that.

“I’m dirty, Amy- my dirt might pass on to Amy…”

Emilla turned her head to avoid Amy’s kiss.

Amy’s eyes showed Emilla’s body full of scars.

wow-

I will kill them all.

“Don’t worry. Emily is always Emily. How can Emilla be so dirty? My Emily girl.”

Amy gently stroked Emilla’s cheek and kissed her again.

Emilla, who was watching Amy’s eyes, resisted slightly, but then closed her eyes.

Transparent tears flowed down Emilla’s cheeks.

“Let’s get out of here for now. Since everyone else is out now, we’ll be able to get out.”

Amy patted Emilla’s shoulder and stepped back.

I suddenly remembered the Aiden I had left behind.

My heart was heavy as if a stone had been put into it.

Either way, he couldn’t run away to fulfill his promise.

And this time, they were willing to draw their sword to protect themselves.

Maybe Aiden will die.

Because the opponent was strong even in his own eyes-

“Are you okay Amy?”

Emilla asked, seemingly concerned.

“…Oh okay, let’s go quickly.”

Amy gently stroked Emilla’s hair, looking at her with anxious eyes.

Even so, I couldn’t help it.

After mixing for a while, I mistook whether I like Aiden, but-

Aiden is not Emilla.

He could do anything for Emilla.

Still, I want you to live somehow, Aiden.

Then I will do anything for you.

The tip went up a bit, reminding me of Aiden’s bad impression.

Amy shook her head, clearing her thoughts, and diligently moved forward.

When I finally got close to the entrance-

Tub Tuk Tuk-

A black-haired girl was seen entering the cave.

The girl, covered in blood all over her body, was walking slowly with an expressionless expression.

The girl had blood all over her face except for what she had been doing.

Amy and Emilla, who felt fear for an unknown reason, stopped breathing and walked slowly.

It felt like a predator was approaching.

The girl came closer and closer.

The unrealistically beautiful face of the girl was visible.

It was even more bizarre because that beautiful face had no emotion at all.

As if absorbing even the darkness, his jet-black short hair shook anxiously.

Emilla’s hand, holding Amy’s hand, was full of strength.

Amy turned her head and tried to smile at Emilla.

Emilla closed her eyes tightly and prayed that this moment would pass quickly.

I was finally able to pass by the girl.

Contrary to their anxious mind, the girl seemed not to be interested in them at all.

When I moved away from the girl a little, I was able to breathe the breath I had been holding back.

“It’s just a short walk to the entrance.”

Amy said as she hugged the trembling Emilla again.

Aiden?

I heard someone mumble a little.

“Yeah. If you go out, go to a place where there are no people and be quiet…?!”

Emilla, who had been talking trembling, stopped.

Their bodies were instantly lifted up into the air, as if they had been caught by an invisible giant.

Neither of them were fully aware of the situation due to the power exerted without any warning.

No words came out of the force of pressure that seemed to explode.

Shut off-

Emilla, who was weak, was already having a hard time breathing.

Amy tried her best to somehow get her out of here, but to no avail.

Feeling like a bug possessed by a human, Amy bit her teeth.

The two were quickly dragged into the cave by an invisible force.

After reaching the girl’s front, the two stopped.

“You smell like Aiden?”

An emotionless voice came out of the girl’s mouth.

“to…!”

Amy hurriedly opened her mouth at the word Aiden that came out of the girl’s mouth, but she couldn’t speak properly because of the pressure.

“Did the cheeky trash touch Aiden?”

The girl approached Amy, muttering emotionlessly.

Amy’s body was relieved by the overwhelming fear she felt from such a small girl.

I felt a cool feeling in my lower abdomen.

“It smells dirty”

The girl standing right in front of Amy frowned and pointed her finger at Amy.

Amy wanted to scream at the terrible pain she felt in her lower abdomen, but she couldn’t open her mouth.

Amy’s stomach ripped open and blood poured like a waterfall.

The girl’s white hand entered Amy’s cleaved belly without hesitation.

The girl’s hand, which was moving recklessly as if searching for something in a drawer, came out again.

The girl’s bloody hands were full of opaque liquid.

The girl took out a small glass bottle from her arms and carefully put the liquids in her hands.

The girl who looked lovingly at the full glass bottle put it back into her arms.

“Cooky Garbage”

The girl turned back and twirled her fingers.

Amy could see Emilla’s body crumbling to pieces.

It collapsed with blood pouring out as if it had been shattered from the beginning.

Emilla was so small that it was hard to imagine her original appearance.

Amy was momentarily distracted by the unrealistic appearance, but soon felt her body crumble as well.

I didn’t even feel any pain.

chump-

Only the sound of footsteps on the pool of blood filled the cave.

“If you don’t get caught-“

I heard the voice of a girl with a lot of laughter, and my mind wandered.

***

The man grabbed the chestnut towards me.

I was caught by the man with one finger, and I couldn’t avoid the night.

Soon the man fed my chest with chestnuts-

thud-!

I felt a pain in my body and flew backwards.

Damn Ami, what a nightmare!

That bastard was sure to pacify the world with a chestnut.

I was blown away by the man’s last night, and I was thrown against the wall.

It seemed that the bones didn’t break because I had returned all my energy to my chest before getting hit, but I felt the pain to the extent that I couldn’t move.

“Tell me-“

The man’s low voice awakened my distant spirit.

motherf*cker.

what are you going to say

“What the f*ck! Kusup-“

Blood gushed out of his mouth like a cough.

I’m really behind you shit.

Spitting blood isn’t the typical thing you do before you look back.

“Is the child’s mother really a prostitute?”

The man approached me slowly and heavily.

It looked like death that could never be avoided by a mortal.

“That’s right. f*ck. I’m sure I put it on the baby yesterday.

The man’s actions, as if playing with me, raised feelings of anger and spit out harsh words.

He spat on the ground with blood-soaked saliva.

Isn’t that blood mixed with saliva?

The man’s steps stopped.

When I say it cool, my insides are cool…

“The child’s mother can’t be here… Are you lying?”

There was a little relief in the man’s voice.

“Don’t worry. I didn’t pack it inside – you don’t have to worry about getting another nephew. Isn’t it? It’s not me, but other bastards seem to have used it a lot. Wouldn’t it be good for you to have another nephew since my nephew was gone? Giggles, like nephew’s immutable law or something?”

I made fun of my mouth coolly.

Even if I prayed to that bastard here, there didn’t seem to be any possibility of saving me from killing my nephew.

As I spoke harshly, my heart became cold.

The man stopped again to see if my insult went beyond the man’s awareness.

“Why? You like it too? If you have another nephew. f*ck you bastard.”

I tried to move my weak hand and grabbed the sword again.

Using the sword as a staff, he stood up again.

You can’t go still.

He forcibly moved the dusty energy that remained in his chest.

[It’s impossible to be a boy now!]

Then you come out and help out like last time, damn it.

[Even if I go out, there is no hope in my current state…]

Then shut up

If you’re going to fall behind anyway, I wanted to die myself.

“Fu- Shit. Why do you think you’re going to die of liking the news that you have more nephews? What are you going to prepare as a gift for your nephew? Damn it itchy. It’s a shame that it’s somehow so damn dark red.”

A dusty energy slowly circulated around my body according to my will.

I always thought of the end.

The thing I feared the most was that I, a poor person, would die insignificantly.

For example, being killed by an orc-

Maybe it’s a trivial death, like being bitten and killed by a bandit.

I was always afraid.

But if you die to a man like that in order to keep your promise to a beautiful woman-

Wouldn’t that be a trivial death?

It’s probably worth writing a little bit somewhere.

I made up my mind and re-energized.

Beaten to death by the head of the virgin church-

Isn’t it f*cking f*cking f*cking this?

“…stop-“

The man muttered as if in pain.

“그만은 뭘 그만이야 개새끼야. 그만은 매일 같이 수백 명의 사내를 받는 그 새끼 어미한테 그만이라고 해야지. 빨리 가서 말리라고! 이럴 때가 아니라니까- 지금 이 순간에도 그 새끼 어미는 헐떡이고 있다고!”

The trembling hand gradually calmed down.

Yeah, damn it, I find an empty spot on that bastard’s ugly, scarred body and leave my signature.

“stop!”

The man cried out and swung his fist at me.

It was clearly a fist swung from afar, but the power contained within it flew towards me.

It felt like a mountain was rushing into me.

motherf*cker.

That bastard is savagely attacking from a distance.

I can’t leave a signature.

He forced his immovable feet to step forward and filled his sword with energy.

It was insignificant compared to that mountain-like energy that rushed into me, but I felt like I had to do something.

Finally, the energy of the man who came right in front of me tried to overwhelm me.

And at that moment, I suddenly felt hot but also warm.

The man’s energy, which was like a mountain, disappeared like a lie.

Nine coveted tails were waving in front of me.

Deep peach flavor

Unforgettable smell.

“Maknae- Aren’t you keeping your appointment?”

A fox with luscious silver ears on her dark, silver hair looked back at me and smiled brightly.

You’re coming so damn late.

“That bastard interrupted me. Cool!”

I wanted to smile nicely too, but I laughed badly at the bloody cough.

The fox chuckled at my harsh words.

But there was a deep regret that could not be hidden in that smile.

“Can you win that dog?”

He asked, wiping the blood from his mouth with his sleeve.

“Of course. I now have nine tails, right? Eat a cold cake!”

According to the fox’s words, its luscious tail swayed in the sky.

It was such a beautiful tail that it made me want to touch it.

“So the youngest gets out first – it’s in the way!”

The fox smiled brightly and grabbed my clothes lightly.

That’s the f*cking line

Why are you suddenly saying those lines with anxiety?

“Don’t be mean. Let’s fight together.”

I frowned and forcefully pressed the hand holding the sword.

The fox kissed me briefly.

A thick peach scent passed through the fox’s mouth.

The fox’s tongue, now skillful, mocked me in an instant.

“How about this?”

The fox, who had fallen from me, exhaled a sweet breath and asked.

“Yes! Perfect.”

I smiled and nodded my head.

“W-Woah! You mean breaking the contract!”

The man’s energy weighed heavily on the space.

Small stones floated in the air and then fell.

What kind of dragon are you?

“You really can beat that?”

My body shuddered at the attitude of the man who didn’t look like a human at all.

“Then. I’m eating a cake that’s cooled down. Shinsoo can’t lie- So go first.”

The fox poked my cheek with her finger and laughed playfully.

It was clear that I would only be a hindrance if I was the f*ckin’.

I nodded my head slightly as I looked at the fox with a playful smile.

“Scal! Take him too!”

The fox shouted and pushed me.

My body was gently pushed away by an invisible force.

I was blown away by a certain man.

When I looked at his face, he was an unlucky handsome man who had gone up and explained.

It’s nothing special to be held in a man’s arms.

The man had a distorted expression on his face as if he was thinking the same thing as me.

Still, the man did not drop me to the ground.

“Only this time.”

Scar grabbed the man and ran backwards.

I didn’t want to bear such a burden, but it was a request from a beautiful woman.

She is so beautiful that her eyes pop out.

How would you say no as a man?

It was worth it just to see the fox’s soul-eating smile.

But it’s terribly heavy.

We will meet again-

The fox smiled a little as he watched Scarl hug Aiden and walk away.

“Fox- Do you dare break the contract and get away with it? Is it okay for the first game to end like this? If you take out all of your tails, without a medium, the new beasts-!”

The fox smiled at the man who spoke urgently as when we first met.

It was clear that the man knew.

That I can’t beat myself right now.

Perhaps it would have been difficult if it had been a man who had passed a little more time.

But the man of today cannot be his opponent.

It’s a pity I couldn’t find the medium in the end…

“It was enough. And I think this is the moment that leaves a little regret.”

So the next meeting will be the most valuable-

The fox enjoyed the freedom she had not felt in a long time and raised her strength.

The tail of the fluttering fox blazed with dazzling fire.

wow-

The man looked at the fox and exploded his momentum.

“Where do you want to see how much the little boy has grown?”

The fox laughed playfully and waved its tail.
