Chapter Chapter 90: 11. Not a myth, but a legend (3) (2/2)

And as I experienced multiple hells, Professor Nicerwin finally commanded the devil to stop.

“Kill… me…”

I knew that this hell would end once the imperial festival ended, but it was too hard to endure this pain right now.

I would much rather just die right now, but I could only fear this curse that wouldn’t even let me die.

“No, the reason why I ordered her to stop was to hit you more. At this rate, even the me… this girl has a limit.”

“Please…”

“This girl doesn’t end in just pain. It only ends because the body simply cannot accept any more blessings due to all the blessings stacking. In that case, all I have to do is make your body become able to accept more blessings.”

“Urk?”

“By attacking you normally(3). Don’t worry. When this child wasn’t around, I swung a bat around myself, so I still remember how to hit people in order for it to hurt normally.”

“Urk. Urgh… S, stop…”

To be honest, Professor Nicerwin’s attacks didn’t hurt.

Just being lightly massaged?

After being hit with the devil, Yugrasia students’ pain resistance surpassed the level of humanity, so we didn’t feel pain to the majority of attacks.

But, according to what Professor Nicerwin said, because of these attacks, the silver devil’s attack time would get longer.

When I thought that I was being attacked to get hit by the silver devil longer, every hit drove more and more fear into me.

“Please! Stop! Why do I have to get hit even more whenever I get hit!”

“You have already crossed the point of no return.”(4)

Professor Nicerwin said as if I had no more chances.

But, who was I.

I was a member of Yugrasia, who did everything humanely possible to survive the silver devil!

I could survive if I could persuade Professor Nicerwin before the devil’s attack started.

In that case, why was Professor Nicerwin this angry with me?

Professor Harian was angry because they got stuck doing troublesome work.

Was Professor Nicerwin truly the same?

Probably not.

Knowing Professor Nicerwin’s personality, he wouldn’t be moving himself for the same reason.

In that case, aside from that reason, was there another reason for him to be angry?

Just why?

On the contrary, I just raised Professor Nicerwin’s value?

A teacher that not even a thousand students together couldn’t defeat, was that not an owner of unbelievable skill that you couldn’t find in any other academy!

My achievement was in naturally revealing Professor Nicerwin’s own inherent talents that hadn’t seen the light of day compared to his teaching talents!

‘Hang on, is that it?’

What if Professor Nicerwin was angry that his talents had been revealed?

Why? There’s no need to bother about that.

If I asked him, I could be at risk of getting hit even more.

So all I can do is use this fact to beg for my life.

“I, have an answer!”

“Yes, there is an answer. Your death.”

This, this isn’t right?

“I have a way to return everything back to the way it was. Someone just needs to attract all the attention that’s focused on Professor Nicerwin right now!”

“Really? That’s a good idea.”

I’m saved!

“But, that’s something you need to do anyway. And I need something to let my ire out on.”

It wasn’t it?!

As if the other students’ jokes that ‘Professor Nicerwin is actually a villain from Howling!’ were real, he was looking down at me with extremely cold eyes, although at some point his hands had stopped moving.

“Since you seem to be reflecting, I will forgive you.”

“Th, thank you very much!”

In a state where I couldn’t yet move my body properly because of the attacks of the silver devil, I just managed to bow my head and thank him for his forgiveness.

“But, since it’d be a bit of a waste of me hitting you… Aru, hit him to his limits.”

“N, No!”

Like a criminal sentenced to execution, my face dyed white, I screamed…

“Yeth way!”

“Gaaaaaaaahhhhgh!”

If there was mercy, the devil was not it.

“Huk!”

“You’re awake.”

“I thought that we’d have to leave pres out of todays’ match.”

“You’re alive.”

“That’s our academy’s president for you, you have to respect his sturdiness.”

And when I woke my eyes, it was the next morning.

When I sat up in my bed, I could see the other members of the student council looking at me with disgust.

“What happened?”

“What happened. The silver devil beat the crap out of you and brought you here.”

“Honestly you were going ‘hehehe’ with your mouth drooling and nothing visible of your eyes but your whites, when we asked the devil we got ‘owner was pissed so I kept hitting him!’”

“We even expected to have to fight the last day without you, pres, you know?”

“I get it…”

Having a rough idea of what state I was when I’d returned, I sighed, but my trials were not yet over.

“Are you good for today’s event? You kicked up such a huge fuss yesterday, if you don’t go out today, it’ll look weird?”

“Aaaaaaagghhhhhhh!”

Suddenly I clutched my head and screamed.

“Risen, how much longer to the event?”

“Why, are you not feeling up for it? An hour till the first event, an hour forty till the last, why?”

I’d said to Professor Nicerwin.

That I’d turn all the attention from Professor Nicerwin back to me today.

But that was only something I’d said so I could survive, I didn’t actually have any idea how to go about doing that.

Honestly, what else would be more eye-catching than someone that could defeat a gods, a Spirit King and a thousand students all on his own!

“Risen, this question might sound like the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard in your life…”

“What’s with that question? You wanna go? Is that it?”

“No, my life is on the line.”

“Really? Bye then.”

Risen shooing me away with his hand was just like normal.

But I knew how to turn his heart around.

“By the silver devil.”

“Give me some time.”

No matter how much of an asshole Risen was, he at least had the decency to help out if it was related to the silver devil!

“Yes, that’s it!”

I nodded to Risen’s suggestion.

If it was that, I could definitely pull all the attention to myself.

Because it was something so completely and utterly insane only Risen could come up with!

And the day of the event, seeing that thankfully, my target was present, I boldly walked forwards.

Ignoring the Arucia students who were on edge at my walking forward once again, but purely for a single intention!

“I, Nerkia ri Derilraff declare, right here!”

I could see the tension on the Arucia students’ faces.

If the person who’d come out and single-handedly destroyed them all came out and spouted out something like that then of course that’d be a cause for worry for them, but fear not! This is nothing like that!

“Arucia’s…”

This was dangerous.

Very, very dangerous.

But, in order to survive, I had to say these words.

“Vice-president, Arietta rul Meirae! I love you so much!”

The enormous task, that was a public confession!
