I Became The Academy’s Narrow-Eyes chapter 329
329 – The last, subsequent story (8)
The origin of all events goes back to the day when Ceylon tried to give meaning to life to Marie and Fria.
After Ceylon returned.
Pria and Marie were deep in thought.
How much time has passed?
Pria and Marie walked out on their own feet from the dungeon that had been designated as a place of eternal atonement and death.
Then he bowed his head towards Yeon and Birshu. It was a deep prayer with many meanings.
When they raised their heads again, their eyes were full of firearms.
It is probably the will to live.
The obsession and desire to live a better life. A basic human desire.
They were human beings, not the dead of the past who could no longer die.
The moment they bowed, Fria and Marie immediately disappeared from the scene.
Yeon and Birsh were embarrassed, but only for a moment.
I was sure. They will never commit a sin.
Those who are reborn will pursue a life of complete integrity and exemplary life.
Hero Ceylon. To become someone who suits him even a little bit.
To not betray the feelings he showed towards her.
“Birsch.”
“Yes, Yeon.”
“I don’t believe in the value of rehabilitation.”
“…”
“The only way to correct darkness is purification.”
Yeon Bastion, a pure white girl.
She fiddled with her pure white blindfold covering her own eyes.
Yeon is blind. Her eyes cannot capture the world that ordinary people see.
But instead, their eyes capture a world they cannot see.
Yeon was able to see the sins carried by the target.
The more sins she carried, the more cloudy her soul became.
It was not easy to restore the color of the clouded soul.
In Yeon’s case, she thought it was not only difficult, but impossible.
It’s not that Yeon didn’t believe in the value of rehabilitation from the beginning.
There was a time when she believed in the value of rehabilitation and considered it her life’s mission to save souls tainted by evil.
Yeon encountered many evildoers.
She came into contact with many fallen souls and worked tirelessly to help those souls regain their original purity.
It was a meaningless effort.
The color of the clouded soul does not return.
This was the knowledge Yeon gained through numerous samples.
Her realization was shaken now.
The cloudy color of the soul does not necessarily mean that the disposition is evil.
Not only those who were devoured by evil, but also the souls of those who were dominated by sin were also clouded.
And those who were dominated by sin, even if they did not want to, became obsessed with madness and committed sin again and again, regardless of their will.
The Pria and Marie that Yeon saw were in such a state.
After being freed from domination, they regained their inherently good nature.
However, the soul was still encroached upon by sinful karma.
Yeon was obsessed with anxiety that the two would one day fall into madness again and repeat their sins.
So, when the two men entered the dungeon on their own feet and restrained themselves. Yeon was quite relieved.
What if the two people had no contact with the hero Ceylon? Yeon would have left them to die on their own in the dungeon.
I can say without a doubt. The two of them will never be able to escape from the sin that has eroded their souls.
But-
“Maybe I’m wrong.”
“…Yes?”
Just now. Yeon clearly saw it with his own distant eyes.
This is the moment when the souls of Fria and Marie, having a conversation with Ceylon, are liberated from their sins.
Yeon relayed to Birshu what he had witnessed with his own eyes.
“It’s a miracle…”
Birsch, who had assisted Yeon for a long time and knew that it was close to impossible for the soul to be liberated from sin, described the phenomenon that Yeon had witnessed.
“…Maybe it’s not such a big deal.”
“Yes?”
“You just saw Yeon too, right? Maybe in more detail than I did. Ceylon. Did he perform miracles?”
If you look at the results alone, it is true.
But in reality, what Ceylon actually did was not that grand.
“He just surrounded them with love.”
“Ah.”
“My way… My thinking was wrong.”
Yeon looked into the distance with distant eyes.
“People can change. They can be saved. If only there was someone who saw them as human beings.”
Yeon knelt on the floor and put his hands together.
“Pria and Marie. Let’s pray for their future.”
It was the moment when the suspicion and anxiety that the Great Council had towards Fria and Marie was completely put to rest.
In this way, the existence of Fria and Marie and their relationship with Ceylon were officially recognized by the Great Council.
Of course, what her cronies think of the relationship between the two is another story.
In a moment. Yeon finished her prayer with a pious face befitting a delegate, with a girlish face befitting her appearance, and she spoke.
“By the way, Birsch. That situation just now. Wasn’t it really romantic?”
“I completely agree!”
Birsch strongly agreed that he had been waiting for that story.
“Oh my.”
Yeon covered her mouth with her hand, saying it was funny to see the passionate appearance of a knight commander with a mechanical personality.
“The way he embraces others with love and mercy!!! It is no exaggeration to say that he is truly a hero and a role model for all knights! In fact, as Yeon knows, it would be very foolish to discuss Silon’s honor with this matter. It’s Fria and Marie. Their influence must have been in the works long before now. It’s only now that it has finally come to fruition! Isn’t it truly amazing? What on earth can Master Ceylon do to those who were blinded by blood and darkness? How did you persuade him? How did he educate him? Most likely, he did it with an honor that a criminal like me cannot even fathom. If-“
Birsh continued praising Ceylon for a long time as if a hole had been opened in the dam.
Birshu’s excitement did not subside even after parting ways with Yeon.
“Ah, Ceylon!!!”
I could never forget the honorable figure of the hero I had witnessed with my own eyes.
Soon, Birsch came to the idea that he should share this overwhelming experience and emotion with others.
So that more people can understand the honor of Hero Ceylon more deeply!
That day. Birsch summoned all members of the Knights of Bastion and delivered a speech on the subject of Ceylon.
At first glance, it could be seen as an outrage by a superior taking advantage of his position, but-
“Oooh…!”
As befitting members of the Bastion Knights, they had similar tendencies to Birsch, the leader of the Bastion Knights.
Blindly followed the values of pure nobility and honor.
“This needs to be known!!!!!”
“It’s too noble a story to keep to ourselves!!!”
They had the same tendencies as Birsch, and like Birsch, they were overflowing with emotion, and like Birsch, they were obsessed with the idea of sharing this emotion and experience.
Thanks to the passionate activities of the members of the Bastion Knights, what happened that day quickly spread throughout the continent.
The hero Ceylon came to save the woman in her sorrow, embracing her with his overflowing love and kindness!
Then the woman who only wanted her death regained her will to live!
Of course, they did not forget Ceylon’s decisive line.
“I want to make you happy!”
“Ugh.”
“Silon is the type of person who cannot leave someone in misfortune alone.”
“But. Would it have been the same if it had been a man?
“What if we just save the woman? In fact, isn’t it even more strange that men are kind to men!?”
“Oh… You’re from the academy? That’s pretty logical.”
“Wait a minute. Doesn’t Ceylon already have five fiancés? But then…?”
“Aren’t you… Revealing too much?”
“They don’t know anything. You guys. Do you think Mr. Ceylon thought that there wouldn’t be people who think like that?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Silon, of course, knew that this would tarnish his reputation. But! He was willing to risk his own reputation in order to save the heartbroken woman! But he simply said this Are you disparaging Mr. Ceylon for revealing a woman’s side? I don’t think that’s right.”
“After hearing it, it might be so…?”
A hero who could not leave a woman in misfortune alone.
A romanticist willing to make sacrifices to save a woman in misfortune!
The newly spread romantic story of the hero Ceylon touched the hearts of many women.
And.
There were women who were more stimulated by the story.
“Huh~? Number 348? Are there any ‘crony’ people inside right now?”
Instructor Sinia.
She suddenly came to Ceylon’s mansion and said, pointing to the back of Ceylon’s door with her finger.
“Uh… That’s right… But… Why are you asking that…?”
The reason for Sinia’s visit to Ceylon was unpredictable.
And for some reason, it was Ceylon that felt ominous.
He asked back with an anxious face.
Anyway, when Shinia smiled her unique soft smile, she spoke with a smile on her face.
“Really~? Oh my~ The timing of my visit wasn’t right~ It’s a shame~ Then number 348~ I’ll come back later~?”
“Yes? No- Instructor Sinia?! What does it mean to come back later-“
“uuu~”
As Ceylon was speaking, Sinia shook her upper body and made a nasal noise.
Ceylon, who was looking at Sinia’s face, tried not to let his eyes wander to something shaking beneath her face.
It could not be said that his mental strength was worthy of the name of a hero.
“You’re an instructor~”
“…Yes?”
“We, number 348, are no longer academy cadets or my students, right~?”
“No, such sad words…!”
“That, that, you, that~”
Sinia smiled and stretched out her upper body, pretending to cover her Ceylon’s mouth with her index finger.
“There is absolutely no reason to call me instructor anymore~?”
“Uh… Does that happen…?”
“Yes~ That’s right~ So~ Now our number 348 is- Oh, no. What should Ceylon call me~?”
“…Sinia?”
“uuu~ What is that~ It’s so awkward~”
Said Sinia, playfully poking her Ceylon’s arm.
“That’s my opinion. What do you think, Sinia?”
“…Yes?”
Ceylon could no longer follow the flow of the story, so she asked back like an idiot.
Sinia just smiled meaningfully as she looked at Ceylon.
“I’ll leave today, but is that a promise? Next time, be sure to call me that~?”
Sinia came so unexpectedly and suddenly promised her future, and then she suddenly left.
Her strange visit did not end there.
“Oh, is it possible that you’re inside – hohoho. Anyway, Ceylon. It’s been a while since I met you and it was nice to chat with you. If we get a chance, let’s have a meal together later. Okay? Is that a promise?”
Aedrin’s long-time nemesis, Drillhead Lady Adella Aspien.
“Ceylon. This is… A portrait of Ceylon that I made. Please accept it. And if you don’t mind…”
Relosi, the academy’s student council president.
And again-…
To add a little bit of exaggeration, all the women with ties to Ceylon visited his residence.
“Oh no!!! Did we end up interrupting your private time!?! It’s none other than our Suuga who said he wanted to see you!!!”
“Oppa. It’s been a while since I want to play with you…”
Except for Su and her guardian, Professor Megan, everyone showed a meaningful look towards Ceylon.
“I don’t know what’s going on here…”
Ceylon was only able to return to his friends after sending away all the visitors.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The friends’ gaze upon Ceylon’s return was as cold as freezing.
“Are you done now?”
Drin asked Ceylon with dead eyes.
“Oh, of course!!!”
Even if I wanted to welcome unexpected guests anymore, there were no guests to welcome.
Ceylon shouted in horror.
“Is that so? Then let’s go.”
Drin and her friends left the living room and led Ceylon somewhere.
It was a bedroom.
Crash.
The moment I entered the bedroom, Drin locked the door.
“Everyone…?”
Their eyes had an evil light.
Cold sweat broke out on Ceylon’s forehead.
