Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 32
Episode 32
32fury. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot(14)
Twenty years have passed like that..
I tried to go through the hole I made when I pulled out the holy sword, but a strong door had formed and I couldn't go any further..
“devil!”
Fortunately or unfortunately, the devil did not make a move..
‘Looks like Luthers won..’
The devil won't be quiet if his friend loses..
Your friend may still be alive. That hope kept me here.
The friends who were with Luthers are leaving here, and the teacher is also leaving..
The faces I knew changed dozens of times..
The Academy is still alive and well.
“devil! devil!”
Of course, he still didn't listen to me..
No one listens to what a parrot says.
‘Ugh!’
I'm not feeling well.
The scars left by the unidentified woman are painful, but aging is the biggest problem..
‘Will I die like this?.’
It's okay if I die.
If you only save my friends, if you only save my friends.
‘It's okay to die.’
Then I met a person.
He is a human who looks similar to Luthus. He said his name was zero?
“friend! danger! Help me!”
“Friends... … I need that too. I wish something would fall from the sky somewhere.…….”
A child named Zero grumbled..
It's hard to make friends because of your appearance.
‘It seems stupid.’
Luthers told me.
Even if we look different, are of different races, or don’t communicate well.
We can be friends.
“friend! good night! you! friend!”
I became friends with Zero.
and he said.
I think there is a way to help..
“friend! friend!”
I raised my voice and shouted for my friend..
I reached it. We've finally reached it.
I want to save my friend.
my earnest heart.

There was a minor(?) commotion during the battle that resulted in penalty points, but the strategy was progressing without problem..
“Okay, I'll leave for a moment.!”
Laymon, who was twice exposed to erosion, left his position..
The gaze was fixed on the devil's side and the tension was raised at the same time..
This is the only gap in this strategy. The moment the shield called Raymon disappears.
But there was no attack on me this time either..
‘You were dumber than I thought..’
Is it because it is a game based on an algorithm??
I was only repeating attacks and defenses using thorns..
‘Maybe the developers didn't expect this situation..’
In the end, this is a game played according to a set algorithm..
[[Cleaning] You probably didn’t know that you would fight while removing eroded land with the skill..
Maybe the devil's side has run into some kind of bug right now..
‘Otherwise, there's no way I'd be treated so stupidly..’
Well, if it's a bug, good for us..
I was steadily reducing my physical strength like that..
The very moment when Raimon, who had fallen out of the way to avoid three layers of erosion, returned to me..
“Hehe!!”
Something shot out from under the eyes of the devil's piece..
Rodelin dodged, and Luna, who was behind him, was safe..
the problem is.
profit-!
“Ugh! Ugh! Oh, the sword!”
Raimon's sword was half melted..
The habit of trying to attack as usual turned out to be poisonous..
‘If Raymon had dodged, I would have been hit anyway, so this is something that can't be helped. What I'm wondering now is…….’
This is my first time seeing such skill. No, to be exact.
I know what the skill is, but this is my first time experiencing it..
‘Corrosion skill. But he never wrote this……!’
Even when I play it thousands of times.
Even when other users play tens of thousands of times.
It's a skill I've never seen before..
There were also cases where curious users experimented..
However, even after making it to the 9999th turn, he has never used the skill [Corrosion D]..
That's why he boasted in front of Rodelin, telling her not to worry about anything else..
‘Why on earth?’
My doubts were answered directly by the devil's piece..
“Sigh! I didn't want to show my mouth, but I had no choice.!”
Only then did it come into view..
A small mouth whispers beneath big eyes.
“This body can't be defeated by something like a mop! You even made me show my complex. I won't let anyone live!”
……It's a complex?
‘It's just that I didn't use the corrosion skill.?’
Even when fighting the holy sword and dying tens of thousands of times from users, he used a skill that he never used..
I really couldn't believe it.
“die!!”
kacang!
Raimon shed a black thorn with half of his sword..
But it didn't flow out as perfectly as before..
“Oh, zero! sorry. Well, I made a mistake…….”
Raimon's face became very tearful..
No, this isn't that kid's fault. It's my fault for being complacent.
“hey! Don't sit still, move! The land is eroding!”
Luna shouted from afar.
But we weren't the only ones in bad shape..
So did Luna..
‘Your stamina will soon run out..’
Luna's role was to move around and steal attention rather than attack, but she went back and forth to the Land of Erosion several times..
Your physical strength will soon reach its limit..
‘The devil's piece's remaining health is about 20%..’
This is just an estimate based on the calculation method of the deceased..
Now at the beginning of episode 1.
Rodelin and Luna's levels are low, so there may be more left than that..
The shield called Raimon is broken, and the sword called Luna is also on the verge of breaking..
So now the only way left to us is.
‘Retreat and call for support. Is this all there is?…….’
Retreat is quite possible.
The devil's fragments cannot escape this space, and the farther away the area they are trying to erode, the slower their speed becomes..
‘And you can use the cleaning skill from a distance that thorns cannot reach..’
This means that as long as I am there, complete expansion is impossible..
Asking for support is a matter of asking a parrot..
‘Elester's kindness and high intelligence, and Charon's strange obsession with Luna..’
If the name Luna comes out of a parrot's mouth, it will immediately follow..
I put a month's worth of food in the subspace, so I have plenty of time to wait..
‘It's a pity that I can't get the hidden piece... … I can't help it.’
Unlike the game, you only have one life now.
I said to the parrot flying behind me.
“Parrot, do you remember team play??”
“team! paly!”
“Yes, aren't there two people I told you to remember back then? Please bring either of you here. If you say my name or Miss Luna's name, she will follow you..”
The parrot that was dazed for a moment disappeared like the wind..
That's it. Now all I have to do is make everyone back down.…….
“Pfft! I'm going to leave for a moment.!”
Raymon left with two overlapping attacks..
And at the same time.
“I'm dying!!”
Push!
Black thorns shot towards me.
That's incredible speed. I felt it was inevitable..
‘You have to fill it with your body and step back.……!’
I have enough stamina to last once..
Just avoid the head. Because if you get a critical hit, you could die instantly..
It was time to raise both hands and prepare for impact..
The parrot's feathers fluttered around..

Parrot's Diary#6
Zero was such an amazing kid..
I thought nothing of you talking to me..
‘As if it were natural.’
That wasn't the only thing that was surprising..
Actively wandering around, looking for traces of Luthers..
As if he knew my relationship with Luthus and what happened to us..
‘Well, whatever..’
20Not only did he listen to a story that no one had heard for years, but he also led the group to the place where the battle between the devil and Luthus took place..
What if it's a bit strange?.
It means that Lutus can be saved. this was important.
“Hehe, there should be a lever somewhere on that pillar. When I give the signal, please take it down..”
What Zero said was true. There was a lever on the pillar.
I put my weight down on it and the kids fell down..
Even the tightly closed door was opened without hesitation..
There was one more door than the one I saw, but it was useless in front of Zero..
‘Luthers! I came!’
Finally arrived, the place where we parted 20 years ago.
There was no Luthers..
All that remains is a pile of human bones, pieces of clothing, and the broken hilt of a sword..
I knew right away who this bone belonged to..
Clothes are just clothes, but even at this moment, 20 years later, the hand bones that are holding the holy sword tightly are still visible..
Those hands filled with the will to protect children.
Because it was the unmistakable form of Luthers..
“friend.”
Hey friend, what are you doing here?.
“friend!”
Wake up! I came.
“friend!”
I… … I came.
wake up, please.
Tears flowed down.
But the miracle of Luthus rising again did not happen..
‘I died because I was late..’
friend died.
I'm too late.
actually knew.
Common sense tells us that there is no way a human could live alone for 20 years..
I had a glimmer of hope, but now there's nothing I can do..
I have no choice but to accept Luther's death..
I have no choice but to accept my friend's death..
“…….”
20years.
The body gradually ages, but the hair becomes thicker..
Now is not the time to be sad..
It's time to do what I can.
‘zero and the kids?’
Kagak! Caen!
the battle was fierce.
The intensity was so intense that a parrot like me, whose only goal was to stand by the hero, wouldn't dare intervene..
Still, there's definitely something you can do..
It was time to wait calmly and wait for an opportunity..
“Parrot, do you remember team play??”
zero said so.
Team play. Of course I know. I was puzzled at the same time.
How do you know what happened and what we talked about with Luthus?.
“Friend, then let me ask you a favor..”
Zero's request was simple..
You just need to bring one of the two humans, Eleister and Charon..
I checked your face last time..
I was just about to exit the door on a fast flight..
I feel like déjà vu. No, it's not déjà vu. This.
‘It's the same thing that happened when we broke up with Luthus.?’
It was like this back then too.
He told me to find someone to help him and bring him back, and that I would hold on until then..
‘no!’
turned and flew.
After breaking up with Luther.
There's something I think about every day.
There is something I regret every day.
‘team play.’
True team play means always being by your side..
When you're happy or when you're sad.
Always being together is true team play..
20We should have fought together years ago.
Even if it didn't help much, I should have done it..
I am.
Because you're a hero's friend.
‘don't make the same mistakes.’
So this time, I'm going to protect my friend..
as soon as.
With this body.
Push!
Black thorns pierced through my body..
Zero's face, which was always peaceful and smiling as if laughing at the world, was distorted..
Unlike him, I laughed.
Friend, don't be so sad.
What is team play?.
It's like this?
