I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Epilogue Episode 30. The end of everything

“Why are you doing this again?”

Name The living room was noisy in the morning, so I went out and found Emilia crumpling her face holding her newspaper.

I immediately hugged Emilia from behind and stretched out her cheeks.

“Open your frown. That way you look prettier.”

“uuuh… Look at this, oppa.”

“What is it?”

– Is it okay to leave a superhuman with no checks in place like this?

This was the headline of the newspaper Emilia held out.

She is not the one catching the headlines anywhere in the corner.

It certainly seemed like there were a lot of people, especially the Aegis believers, who were showing their opposition to me, but I didn’t know that even the media had already taken over.

“No, I’m keeping my brother in check for what he did. All he does is go to school normally and come home and act like a bastard.”

“You’re defending me now, right…?”

“Look at this paragraph. Schlus is omniscient and omnipotent, but he is not a god. He is a human being with both reason and emotions, and we must not forget that he can change at any time and turn the tip of his sword.”

“Hmm. Isn’t that wrong?”

“Oppa!”

It was so true that I couldn’t refute it.

I remember this discussion taking place in Shoe

It seems like something similar came out in Avengers.

Is it okay to allow an individual with superhuman strength to operate outside the bounds of the law?

Something like this.

“These people are now treating my brother as a potential threat.”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. No matter how much I scream and say that I’m good and harmless, there’s no way that people who are already terrified will hear that.”

“Then what should I do?”

“What can we do? All we can do is build trust slowly.”

I carefully stroked Emilia’s head as she looked up at me with worried eyes.

She wasn’t anything to worry about.

In the case of Shoo

Even if a nuclear bomb were dropped on my sleeping head, I wouldn’t die.

No one would attack me knowingly that if they touch me hastily, the entire country will be ground to dust.

It is impossible to completely eliminate people’s fears and complaints.

Still, there is no way to reduce it other than to just slowly give it faith.

If I prevent disasters on the continent and mediate conflicts for decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, wouldn’t I be considered a kind of guardian deity?

Probably by then, Schlossism will overtake Aegisism and become the dominant religion.

I decided to take it easy.

Time will solve most problems anyway.

“What about Aria?”

“He went to work at the imperial palace.”

“What, already?”

“Yes. It’s the New Year, so I guess you’re busy.”

“What about Feline?”

“To Edengart with Mr. Trier. He’s taking a test to join the mercenary corps.”

“Huh. Test…”

Pellain was bored with just sleeping at home and being unemployed, but he was trying to join the Sulzenburg mercenary group.

But I was curious about how the Feline entrance exam was conducted, so I wanted to go see it.

There would not be a skilled person in the mercenary group who could verify Feline’s skills.

Ah. So, Trie went with me.

If Geomshin is your opponent, Feline will not be able to avoid a struggle.

“What about Erica?”

“Researching in an underground lab-“

“aaah!!!”

“······I think so.”

Before Emilia could finish speaking, a cheerful shout rang out from the basement.

It seemed like the research was blocked again today.

Erica graduated from Imperial University with a bachelor’s degree in just two years, and she was currently completing the integrated master’s and doctoral course in magic elemental science.

The problem is that before I even completed the course, my understanding of magical elemental science far surpassed that of the professors, and I ended up in a position to direct all of the research at the Imperial University.

One time, while helping Relic give a lecture as an assistant, he got so frustrated that he pulled Relic down and gave the lecture instead…

When I heard that news, I felt a little sorry for Relic.

I heard that wizards have recently risen to the highest rank, Elste, and are competing for a seat on the Magic Society Council.

But the biggest problem is…

“Schlus, really ahhh!!! Please stop interfering with my research!!!”

“Uh…”

Coincidentally, every paper I’ve published recently has been trashing Erica’s research.

I don’t know how this happened, but coincidentally, whenever I conducted research recently, phenomena that went against the existing mechanics of magic were discovered, and the axioms of magic were being abolished or replaced almost every day.

However, since most of the changed axioms were related to magical elementology, Erica’s research was shaken from its very foundation.

“You’re going to be okay, Erica? When I went to her lab, her hair was all falling off.”

“They say creation begins with destruction. It’ll be okay. Maybe…”

Erica will be able to overcome this.

Erica will soon be able to complete a magic mechanics model that can perfectly explain newly discovered phenomena.

She believes so strongly, there is no doubt about it.

······Just in case, let’s put some effort into developing a female hair loss medicine.

“What about Iris?”

“When I checked earlier, you were asleep.”

“It’s so noisy, but you sleep well…”

“That’s right. You slept a lot.”

I carefully headed towards Iris’ room with Emilia.

The house was so large that it took an entire year just to move from the living room to the bedrooms.

Actually, my wife’s room is spacious enough to be used as a home for 5 people.

That’s because each room will eventually become one family.

“I am a saint. Can I come in?”

“hehehe. Of course. I just woke up. And you can call me at your convenience, Emilia.”

“No, how can I call you comfortably when you treat me with such respect…?”

“How are you feeling, Iris?”

“There are no problems except that I always fall asleep and am tired.”

Iris stood up, rubbing her eyes, as if she had just woken up.

It may be a little embarrassing news, but Iris is pregnant.

Yes. It’s my fault.

She said she wouldn’t get pregnant until she graduated, and she said so.

Although she was a little surprised by the unexpected timing of her pregnancy, she was by no means an unwelcome child.

Everyone, including my wives and I, welcomed Iris’ pregnancy.

Still, she couldn’t help but take a year off from school.

“Can I check to see if I can hear your heartbeat, saintess?”

“Of course it works… But it’s still the 6th week so you won’t hear it.”

“Iris. Would you like it to be a boy or a girl?”

“Hmm. I really want to give birth to a brave son first. I think he will be just like Schlus.”

“Oh. Then, should I make you a son? If I adjust the chromosomes and hormones, it might be possible-“

“Schlus, don’t even think about touching my boat.”

“Of course it’s all a joke!”

I was half serious.

Seeing Iris’s expression, she smiled and passed it off.

Apparently, her wives were not very happy about me using superhuman strength in my daily life.

Actually, I like it better that way too.

She felt like she was living a normal life as an ordinary human being.

“It must be really cute because it’s a saint’s baby, right? But originally, I was planning on getting pregnant first…”

“Oh, Miss Emilia. I’m scared of your eyes.”

“Huh? Oh, my eyes are scary. Oh, that’s right. Come to think of it, oppa, why do you keep avoiding questions these days?”

“Avoiding the question? When?”

“You don’t answer the question of whether you will remarry after we all die.”

“Kek.”

I suddenly became embarrassed.

This was the second most difficult question to hear in person.

The first difficult question was ‘Who among us do you love the most?’

Of course, the correct answer was ‘I will never marry a woman other than you guys’, but it was a question that was difficult for me to answer easily as I knew full well that I was severely weak-willed and I was not good at lying.

“Hmm. Well, I don’t know?”

“If you’re a Schlus, of course you will.”

“Of course, right? But still, brother. No matter how much you like it, you shouldn’t touch our daughter or granddaughter, right?”

“Hey! No matter what, I won’t do that!”

What on earth are you looking at me for?

He seemed to think that I was a lecher who would touch me whenever I felt like it.

I don’t think it’s completely wrong…

Anyway, I need to keep a good record of my genealogy.

As Emilia said, I seduced him because he was too much to my taste, and he could be my descendant…

It was a daunting situation to even imagine.

Beep…!

“What is it?”

At that time, the emergency line rang and a powerful wave of magical power was transmitted.

It seems I wasn’t the only one who sensed that, as Emilia and Iris also looked surprised.

After decoding and interpreting the brief password received, the contents were as follows.

-Discovery of the new continent, east of the continent. Presumed to be inhabited by civilized aliens.

I thought it had finally come.

I was able to witness the moment when the paradigm of this world changed.

***

The world has become more noisy.

Recent developments in shipbuilding have made it possible to go out to sea, and while fishermen were looking for new fishing grounds, they discovered the New World.

It was discovered that a new race, with an appearance that did not resemble any other race on the continent, was living in a civilization there.

“You don’t seem surprised at all.”

“Wow. Wow. What are you talking about? I’m completely surprised.”

“······.”

Of course, I knew right away.

Even before I noticed it with my magic senses.

That’s because the emergence of a new continent and new races was a setting from the original work.

The setting is that they are a race of people called ‘Oni’ who have horns on their foreheads in an oriental culture.

It was completely consistent with the setting I had envisioned when I was deeply immersed in Japanese comics.

“So what did you say this is what you’re doing now?”

“This is a summit of various countries discussing ways to contact the Oni people…”

Aria sighed, sighing.

It’s a summit.

But for some reason, the scene unfolding before my eyes did not seem much different from an elementary school debate.

Without anyone to mediate, there was a group monologue or argument going on, talking non-stop here and there.

“It is right to select and send a representative of humanity.”

“The races are all different, so how dare you represent humanity to death! It’s right to elect a representative for each race!”

“The Kingdom of Trud is the opposite. I cannot bear to see a representative of the human race being chosen from the Freya Empire.”

“Then, by country-“

“That’s not possible either! What kind of country is the Monarch Principality? It’s just an empire!”

There were so many happy faces that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Atatürk of the Elven Union, the shaman of the Great Forest, Damian of the desert frontier, and even Kane of the southern colony.

Everyone had veins on their faces and was shouting something, but it was a good thing they were happy.

“Schlus. Do you have no opinion on something?”

“······.”

The moment Aria looked at me and spoke, her conference room suddenly became completely quiet.

Even Atatürk and Damien, who were about to fight while holding each other by the collar, kept their mouths shut and looked at me.

“Um. I don’t have anything to say, right? I have no intention of getting involved, so take care of yourself.”

“······.”

“······.”

After briefly expressing my opinion and sitting comfortably in my chair again, silence continued for about 3 seconds.

After just 3 seconds, shouting broke out again here and there, as if there had been silence for some time.

‘I’ll take care of it.’

There was nothing else for me to worry about.

If the Oni people were implemented according to my settings, they would have a level of civilization comparable to that of the continent, so they would not be unilaterally invaded and reduced to a colony.

In addition, I also had a strong desire to watch the world I created undergo changes that I had not yet written about.

From now on, my role was only that of an observer.

He is like a guardian deity who watches from a distance, resolves a serious crisis and then disappears again.

“Phew…”

I sneaked out of the noisy conference room, teleported to the back garden, and took a cigarette break.

The sky was overcast, so it looked like thunderstorms and torrential rain would fall at any moment.

Religious conflict, inter-ethnic conflict, collapse of the magic paradigm, and even the discovery of a new continent.

This world was now facing a completely new phase.

It was like a new world was unfolding that even I, the writer, had no idea about.

I was a little anxious, but my anticipation was much greater.

“It would have been really nice to see it with you…”

I missed Yulia today.

I missed her so much that I would never see her again.

I thought a lot about my eternal life.

Just before the destruction of humanity, when the last human was left, I had not thought about the idea that if I gave him the power of the devil, I could prevent Yulia’s reincarnation and at the same time give up my eternal life.

Then it would be easier for me, but I couldn’t commit the irresponsible act of granting a person a lifespan of close to eternity.

This responsibility was mine alone.

It was a responsibility I had to bear as I created this world, received Julia’s heart, came back to life, and slaughtered all the demons.

But when I think about how I in the parallel world went crazy after living alone for over 100,000 years…

“It’s so far away.”

The sight before my eyes became distant.

But unlike that bastard, I was ready.

I am ready to let everyone go and live alone.

I still have the miracle ring, so I can summon someone to talk to once every 100 years.

Of course, before that, you have to see your sons and daughters, give them grandchildren, and see your great-grandchildren…

There was still a lot of time given and a lot to do.

Just as I was smoking a cigarette and fooling around like an idiot, I heard a shout coming from behind.

“You there! This is a restricted area! Who are you?”

“Me?”

Someone said it was a security guard here.

I turned around and thought carefully about what to answer.

I had an answer in my head, but I couldn’t say it out loud because I was too embarrassed.

A person who sees the end of this world with his own eyes.

A person who closes his eyes only after this world ends.

The end of everything.

I am Schlus.

.

.

.

“Ugh…?!”

A dark room where not even a ray of sunlight penetrates.

The man who opened his eyes there groaned at the sensation of being thrown backwards for an instant.

And then, with a crash, the chair fell backwards and the man was thrown backwards.

“Keuung······.”

The man stood up while clutching the back of his head and looked around, surprised by the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery.

It was a view from a long, distant memory that I almost forgot.

The man’s eyes naturally turned to the top of the desk, and he checked the year and date on the glowing monitor.

The man’s mouth, which was open for a moment as if in shock, slowly closed.

“Huh.”

The man chuckled once, then straightened his chair and sat down.

When I clicked on the ‘Academy Nampa Spy’ folder, scrolled down, and clicked on the latest file, a half-finished article full of only traces of his agony, stress, and slump appeared.

After dragging and deleting all of this, the man put his hand on his keyboard and tried to type his first letter –

“No. No.”

I closed the file and created a new folder and file.

The first thing to do was to organize.

I have already seen the end and started recording the whole world.

As a distant memory came back, a happy smile appeared on the man’s lips.

The faces and voices of people he loved passed through his mind.

It was just as the man was about to enter a name into a new folder.

“It took a long time.”

“·······?!”

The man’s hands stiffened at the soft voice.

A pure white arm was wrapped around his neck.

It was a familiar voice and a familiar hand.

Just as he was frozen, unable to dare to look back, a soft voice flowed into the man’s ears again along with a warm breeze.

“I was waiting.”

“······.”

Tears flowed from the tips of the eyes of the man who laughed as if he was tickled.

Tak. Crack.

As if possessed, his fingers moved and he began typing.

The folder name entered was as follows.

-I was possessed by an academy without a main character.
