I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

Chapter 191: Embers

Kaaak-kaaak-

Crows were cawing. A red sky. Dark, gloomy ground. It looked like something that reminded one of hell.

There, a person armored from head to toe was gazing at the sky. Pure white armor that looked holy just by looking at it. A blue surcoat beneath it.

Ashes were scattering beneath the figure dressed as a knight.

Below the ground where the knight stood, a circular golden light was flickering.

“It’s not even funny. Do those bastards not know moderation?”

He had killed the white-clad enemies.

However, beyond the horizon, a similar number of demon soldiers were approaching.

It was terrifying.

“The land of the Black Sun. It’s more dangerous than I imagined. Just setting foot on this ground makes me feel degraded.”

“That’s why the French are in better shape than us. They can move here thanks to the blessing of Eden.”

The knight looked at the horizon.

Even so, their momentum had noticeably weakened compared to the last invasion. It seemed true that the officers leading the demon soldiers, the Schutzstaffel, were absent.

‘No, I should be careful.’

The Nazi bastards were experts at blocking information.

This might also be part of a plan.

‘Soon.’

This war that engulfed all of Europe might end soon.

Whether it would end in our defeat or the Nazis’ defeat, it felt like it would be one of the two.

Sarak.

A robe fluttered. From an empty space, a being appeared. A being clad in a pure white robe.

“The association has contacted us.”

“…The association?”

“Yes, they said they’re forming an alliance.”

“What do they intend to do with an alliance?”

“They plan to strike the Nazi bastards. It seems they’re recruiting quite a few beings. Olympus and Asgard are watching for now, but Japan, the US, and Korea will be the pillars of the alliance.”

“Ho?”

The knight looked at the robed being.

This being liked to mess with him, but never lied about such information. So it must be true.

“We’ll need to revise our plans.”

First, they needed to preserve their strength.

Come to think of it, an incredible prodigy was said to have been born in the Merchen family, and he might get to see him this time.

Thud.

He started to walk. There was much to do. He had to take care of the knights who followed him, lead the soldiers, and persuade the politicians.

But first.

“We must deal with those bastards first.”

The last knight.

The Knight King, the Lion King. All were titles referring to one person.

The last knight began to walk.

The flames were burning hot, consuming everything but themselves.

Eventually, they would burn their own life and fade away.

Hong Yu-hwa was like a flame.

Burning brightly.

Leaving behind embers.

Those remnants were one of humanity’s hopes.

The future Hong Yu-hwa was like that.

Confident and acting without shame. Burning like a flame, burning brightly, and dying that way. Becoming the Crimson Flame that burned everything. The Usurper of the Crimson Lotus.

She met her end that way.

“Are you coming?”

Hong Yu-hwa,

She grew up in abundance. She lacked nothing growing up. But she had one trauma. One reason her grandfather loved her. She was not loved by her parents.

The reason was simple.

Because she was not a boy. For such a trivial reason, she was abused and unloved. Therefore, she.

‘Is it burning again.’

Yearned for love. Something from today’s events must have touched her.

Most of the time, Hong Yu-hwa regretted her actions afterward.

But it seemed she had thought quite a bit this time.

“…You know what I mean, right?”

“…Yes.”

Hong Yu-hwa nodded, blushing.

I scratched my head. It was sudden. But there had been signs. In the cases of Ershil, Seo Ga-yeon, and Kim Ara, it was impossible not to notice.

To be honest, I was happy about their love. I was a man, after all. It felt good to be loved by the opposite sex. I didn’t even have a girlfriend right now.

But it’s overwhelming and burdensome.

‘Above all, this world is doomed.’

The destruction of this world was predetermined.

The forces invading this world from beyond were strong. They were not ordinary. The being that turned the entire sea into doom, the being that covered the entire sky of Earth in black, the being that painted the African continent black.

They were all beyond common sense.

Just thinking about the Hundred Temple made it simple. Despite the limitations, beings on par with transcendent beings filled a hundred seats but split apart. They thought they couldn’t defeat the beings from beyond.

The dragons were busy filling the cracks that appeared when this world was invaded by various worlds. Even they met their deaths.

The Nazi Empire remained strong, and it’s unknown when they’d bring forth the true Black Sun.

Bombs were planted throughout the world.

‘That’s why I’m moving busily.’

To be honest, for now, that’s how it was.

If a child were born, I would fear for the future because we would die if we couldn’t prevent the destruction.

I didn’t want to see the people I love die again. Once was enough. Such terrible selfishness. So I shook my head.

“…Sorry.”

“I don’t know what you’re afraid of.”

Hong Yu-hwa looked at me with uncharacteristically sorrowful eyes.

“Just, let’s keep it to memories.”

“…..”

“Can’t we?”

I looked at Hong Yu-hwa. Her burning red hair and eyes. The pure white uniform symbolizing the Korea Hero School.

Her eyes seemed sorrowful. I slowly approached Hong Yu-hwa, recalling her.

‘I shouldn’t be doing this.’

Was it because my body had rejuvenated?

Hong Yu-hwa looked so attractive.

Hong Yu-hwa,

Was staring blankly at the ceiling.

Her brain slowly began to organize what had happened.

She had held onto Lee Seo-ha. She disliked the woman named Seolhwa Ryeon clinging to Lee Seo-ha. It was actually rude. She wasn’t Lee Seo-ha’s girlfriend. But she unconsciously engaged in a power struggle.

‘But still.’

But still, Hong Yu-hwa liked Lee Seo-ha.

No, it was more accurate to say she loved him. She had consciously antagonized him at first, but not anymore. She liked him enough to fill her room with his pictures.

‘Crazy.’

She was crazy.

Really crazy. She held onto Lee Seo-ha. And that line was even more absurd. Want to watch a video? Wasn’t that what kids these days say when they want to do that? Though she pretended not to be interested, Hong Yu-hwa was very interested.

Very much so.

So she brought up the stories the servants gossiped about to hold onto him. Lee Seo-ha wasn’t impotent. At first, she had thought he might be impotent or gay, but now she knew. He had dated another woman.

The presumed ex-girlfriend looked less attractive than her, but she had dated Lee Seo-ha.

‘He probably can’t forget her.’

Hong Yu-hwa lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It was a different ceiling from her room, like a little girl’s.

Although Lee Seo-ha seemed interested in other women, he ultimately refused.

To protect his feelings for her. Although Ershil said he was completely leading her on, Hong Yu-hwa believed him.

‘And.’

Shaaah-.

The sound of someone showering could be heard. It was Lee Seo-ha. And this was not her penthouse. A room big enough for about two people. It was used by those who called themselves her servants.

Today, they were absent from school, so it was available.

She had considered motels or hotels, but rumors might spread.

Hong Yu-hwa had simply held onto him. It was to create a memory, even if just one-sided. Although she wasn’t planning to marry another man, she didn’t want to cling to Lee Seo-ha’s feet.

Just, she hoped for one thing.

In the happy future Hong Yu-hwa envisioned, Lee Seo-ha was there.

Drip.

The water stopped. Hong Yu-hwa swallowed involuntarily.

What should she do next? It was her first time. Since it’s not his first time, wouldn’t he guide her somehow?

All sorts of thoughts swirled in her head.

Embarrassed, but also excited.

Hong Yu-hwa soon put on a haughty expression. Such actions didn’t suit her.

Flame.

She was a woman like a flame.

And the only granddaughter of the Red Tower Lord. She was more haughty than anyone else, a flower on a cliff. So—

“I’m done showering. What will you do?”

“I-I-I-I’ll shower too, I guess.”

Hong Yu-hwa said haughtily and headed to the shower.

Thunk.

Lee Seo-ha grabbed her wrist.

“I’m okay with doing it now.”

“Hiccup.”

Hong Yu-hwa was on the verge of being devoured.
