I Became a Person Who Wanted To Drop Out of the Academy

Chapter 50

Episode 50 – Festival 9 –

Their goal is the living princess.

If the princess dies, the power of domination flowing in her blood will be neutralized.

That is why they cannot approach the princess.

Some people thought what I was doing was just a threat.

He said as he approached slowly.

“Do you really think you can kill? It seems like we thought it would work if we did that… “You’re probably just trying to kill time.”

“You can see it just by looking at it! Maybe they’re just trying to kill time! “If you hurt the princess right now, she will only be hurting herself. Who would do that?”

“I see you are making low-level threats without thinking about the repercussions. “Better just do it.”

Of course, these are people who don’t listen properly.

The reason was simple.

The reason hostages are valuable is based on the belief that problems will arise for the hostage’s safety.

That is. They think I can’t harm the princess.

Foolishly.

It seems like you don’t know what kind of person I am.

He whispered so softly that only the princess could hear.

“It will hurt.”

Jjiikㅡ

The sound of something being torn was heard.

Everyone found the source of the sound.

Some of the attackers checked their bodies to see if there were any wounds.

Someone thought I had been stabbed and tried to approach the princess.

Someone else looked around.

And the result they reached after going through all that process was more miserable than expected.

There I was, drawing a long line with red paint on the princess’s arm.

I could feel the faces of some people distorting through the masks.

I told them.

“What a foolish story. If a saint from the Evil God Church is produced, many people will die, and of course I will be included in that.

But if I kill the princess here, in the end, everything can end with that one death… Why did you think you couldn’t do it?”

People try to uniformly divide good people and bad people, but in reality, good people and bad people are not so clearly divided.

From noble mtl dot com

Even if you are a person who only thinks about yourself.

Even if you are a selfish person.

It is not that there is no moral sense.

For example, if you offer to save yourself instead of killing another person, many people will choose to survive.

But what if the number of people increases to 1,000, 10,000, or 100 million?

The number of people who choose to die will increase.

That’s what morality is.

Even if you are a good person, you do not do good deeds unconditionally.

Just because someone is a wicked person does not mean that they only do evil things unconditionally.

Even if you are a person who throws away trash without any hesitation, most people feel aversion to murder.

So even if I die because of the princess’s death.

If we could save countless people with that.

I will kill.

“… I thought I only knew myself… “

“Calculation… Looks like I was wrong… “

I was shocked by what people said.

What did they think of humans?

Sometimes people do good deeds without any reason.

A chaotic beast that commits evil deeds without any reason.

That’s what humans are.

“Ha! Then you will sacrifice this princess to save her god, right? But if you were to resurrect God instead of destroying humanity, would you do it?

I am similar! If I live by sacrificing one person, I will live! But… Tens of millions of people are dying, but you want me to live? Why? “Is my life worth more than a thousand?”

“… “I underestimated you too much.”

“Humans are originally ‘ah’ different and ‘uh’ different. It’s like you were hiding something like that inside.

The people in power above you who you hate are also similar. It may seem like he will take power by killing all the people, but in reality, he will give up. Because power is the power that subordinates follow. “Because power cannot be fulfilled without subordinates.”

Because there are no rules on how humans should live.

It is more confusing than anything else.

That is why good deeds are valuable.

A wedge was put into the horse.

“So what are you going to do? Wouldn’t it be best to just run away?

I will kill Princess Alice if you come near. In the end, if we delay here, you will all run away.”

“Why do you say that?”

“If you get close, I have to kill you… You don’t want to kill me, do you? If some idiot approaches here, I will have to kill the princess with tears in my eyes.

Who would want to do that? “You all tried to get closer like idiots right now.”

“… “

Some people will consider it a pointless blackmail.

Some people will think it’s a lie.

But I am sincere.

If I hand you over to an evil spirit, I will kill you.

The evil spirit gave us freedom, and he even approved the rebellion against himself.

So there will be a rebellion.

Because I am a human being with free will.

I smiled as I composed myself again.

A woman is being held captive by a man.

Other people surrounded the blackmailer.

And they are telling the blackmailer to give up his threats.

However, the blackmailer is not a bad person and the person who is told to give up the threat is not a good person.

Both were evil men.

In a fight between a villain and a villain, the winner becomes a more vicious villain.

And the more vicious villain was the kidnapper.

“Seeing you smile… It doesn’t make sense. Withdrawal… “

“Hey! Our identity has been identified!! It will be revealed within a few years through the alibi investigation… “

“There will be a chance next time. “Please don’t mind.”

“It’s true that it’s annoying, that’s right!! “How much effort did I put in to create this status!”

In the end, they admit their defeat and begin to let go.

However, I don’t really like the future where I could win but then lose due to a moment of inattention.

“First of all, it could be a trap… “You have to stay like this until the professors come.”

“… Know.”

“Tell me later why you couldn’t use the aura of domination.”

“I’ll give it to you…” “

And so our conversation continued.

Not long after, the professors approached us with the sound that the attack had subsided.

People’s screams quiet down.

The flames slowly decrease.

Professors are busy trying to find survivors.

And I held a piece of glass to the neck of the princess reflected in their eyes.

The professors were embarrassed, and soon after, the president did something to me and blacked out my consciousness.

“Promise… I kept it… “

At least he kept his promise.

Because you saved me.

As I said, if life is better even if you roll in a dog poop.

I will give you my life.

No matter how painful it is.

—-

“So, please tell me.”

Where I am is Tantalota Pavilion.

The person in front of me is Eferento Tantalotta, the first prince of the empire.

The person asking the question is also me.

The location is literally the same as at the beginning of the festival.

A situation where everything has changed.

“Why couldn’t Princess Alice use her Aura of Dominance?”

Princess Alice is currently lying in the infirmary and resting.

Even if I did not inflict fatal injuries, my life was threatened.

In such a situation where the relationship was reversed.

His mouth opened.

“Abraxas English. Do you know why the royal family maintains overwhelming power in a world with many other powerful people?”

“Because of the aura of domination.”

“I don’t want to ask such fundamental questions. What I want to say is, why do even those who cannot rule with the aura of domination follow the royal family?

One strong man stands against ten thousand strong men. Even if you can dominate those at the bottom, you cannot stop them if the higher-ups rebel. “What do you think?”

Why is the royal family ruling?

If it were a game, it would be enough to just assume that the production team would have set it up that way.

It would be different if this world became reality.

In this world that has become reality, at least there was a good reason for everything that happened.

‘Power. ‘What is the difference between power?’

Power is unique in that, unlike other powers, it is a power based on others.

Force, intelligence, wealth, power.

The power that determines social reputation.

Among these, power is completely based on others.

Although wealth is somewhat similar in that it must be desired by others, things that are absolutely unchangeable, such as food, are also wealth.

In the end, it does not change that power is the power that arises from the perception of others.

I found the answer and told it as it is.

“Power has no meaning if subordinates do not follow it.”

Even if you are strong, have a lot of knowledge, or have a lot of money.

If you do not follow, power does not exist.

You can push through force?

Everyone can choose to die.

Knowledge?

Numerous rebellions have occurred throughout history.

Money?

People who quit well-paying jobs and chase their dreams were common in Korea as well.

You cannot gain power just because you have those three things.

Power is that special, and that is why it is powerful.

“That’s right. In the end, even if the force is strong, it is meaningless if it is not followed.”

Aura of domination.

This power only works on opponents of a certain level or lower.

Therefore, those who were stronger than a certain level had to be recruited separately.

However, thanks to such factors, the royal family was able to enjoy the highest status.

Even if you force them to submit, if they don’t follow you, you have no power.

The royal family was able to dominate the lowest figures with an aura of domination.

This resulted in the loss of power to the powerful at the top.

If only one member of the royal family has a different mind, everyone below them will not follow the wishes of other powerful people.

So, even though the royal family had a regent or proxy.

No other lineage has ever sat on the emperor’s throne.

But this is not important.

What I asked was why the princess was unable to use her aura of domination.

Fortunately, she did not change her mind, and the prince mentioned it again.

“For now, let me explain why I told this story later. Alice The reason why that child couldn’t use the royal aura… “Paradoxically, it was because it was too strong.”

“Yes?”

“The child could not use it because the aura of domination was too strong.”

I didn’t understand.

I agreed, thinking I would explain it later.

“I see. The princess has a strong aura of domination… Is it because the difference in level of dominance is narrow?”

“No. It’s the same. Only… The child is not just a spirit or a suggestion. “It was a problem because she could really dominate.”

“Dominance?”

“Yes. “That Alice can manipulate the body of a subject with the status of control at her will.”

What?

Did such a fraudulent ability exist?

Due to the nature of aura and magic to repel each other, it is difficult to create something that acts directly on others, so creating illusions is the limit.

You can directly guide the body?

“Well, isn’t that an incredible ability? But why did the princess… “

And I swallowed my words.

This is because she could not tell the fact that the princess would die in the future.

A person completely dominates beings below a certain level according to his will.

This is definitely the greatest advantage in the military.

It also meant that it was the best because it could walk.

I still didn’t understand.

If this power had come to commoners, they would have been caught up in a treason and died due to the possibility of rebellion.

However, Alice Tantalotta is a princess.

She is a woman with formal succession rights.

Rather, if you use it, you can’t ignore it.

Why did it come to such an end?

Fortunately, Efferento explained the cause.

“The aura of domination is not a power the child gained through effort, but an innate one.

That’s why. Ironically, because he was unable to control that power, all those he controlled were… “He died not long after.”

“Dead? Why… ?”

“Because even things essential for survival, such as the heart and lungs, had to be controlled. “I couldn’t control it and died.”

“I see… The reason I’m so sick of thinking is… ?”

“Our mother. Former 1st Empress. She was eventually caught up in the child’s power and headed into the arms of her heavenly spirit.”

Ah.

Even when the 1st prince became emperor, the 2nd empress appeared, but the 1st empress wondered why she did not appear.

She is dead.

I feel like a secret has been unlocked.

It was not because the princess was weak that she could not use it.

She had thought so for a while. The answer was just the opposite.

Because the power is too strong.

If I carry out my strategy of controlling all the weak.

They hesitated to use it because all the people under its control would die.

Even more so because he killed my own mother with that ability.

‘And I also understand why the princess was chosen as her sacrifice.’

I thought that since she destroyed the branch alone, she had hidden her power, so I chose the princess who was not good at using her power of control.

A princess with the blood of domination flowing is a pretty good sacrifice, even if it’s not as good as a dragon heart.

With that level of power, it would probably be at a level that could replace the Dragon Heart.

It feels like the clues to all the events are being solved.

We didn’t say anything for a while after that.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk, but it was because the prince’s face looked like he was about to cry.

The person whom Alice Tantalotta killed was… This is because she is also Efferento’s biological mother.

Perhaps the prince did not want to show me her weakness, so she decided to take a short break.

“Let’s get our emotions together for a moment. Albert. “Can you hang out with Abraxas Youngsik for a moment?”

“I wonder if this old man will cause any trouble… “

“There is no way you would do something that would harm me.”

“I understand. Prince. “This old man will hang out for a while.”

With those words, the prince leaves for a moment.

This is the largest room in the Tantalota Pavilion.

There were only two people sitting inside.

One of them was me.

One was an old man who looked younger than the president.

And I had a lot to ask.

The other person was an old man who was more comfortable than the prince.

I asked right away.

“Then, if Princess Alice can control the aura of domination well, will the above problems become okay?”

“You can say so. The aura of domination transmits her own will. “All problems are caused by lack of control, so as long as you can control it, it will be okay.”

“I see. So what happens if the subject becomes weak? “If I become weak, can I also be dominated?”

This point is very important.

If the princess overcomes it by any means.

Because a terrible situation could arise where my body is harmed.

“The aura of domination is of some sort. But it is not one-sided.”

“Then…” “

“Gyeok encompasses both body and spirit. So, if you are strong, you can resist, but sometimes even if your spirit is very strong, you can resist.”

“Body and spirit. These two won’t be constant… So what happens if the two become weak?”

“Just as the imperial family becomes stronger and its area of control expands, so too does it change. Even if you are strong, if you become weak, you will be dominated. Even if your mental strength is strong, if it eventually breaks, you can dominate.

And since these two help each other, even strong people can dominate if they sincerely think that they will be dominated. Of course, it rarely goes that far.”

“Even if you are strong, you can still be ruled if you truly serve? Where on earth is such a person… If?”

As I continued speaking, the old man called Albert smiled.

“I am such an example. “I trust the prince so much that even though I am still stronger than him, I can still use his power.”

The conversation with the old man was truly beneficial.

This is because I was able to avoid going to the worst assumption I could think of.

Mental strength. As long as this is strong, it doesn’t matter if I become weak.

Mental strength may break down, but if you endure it, it becomes stronger.

I endured it, so I am confident in that much.

Because he endured even while being tortured in real time.

The conversation with the old man was enjoyable.

We were able to talk about many things.

Unraveling little-known secrets, etc.

I was able to put a lot of settings into my head.

After some time had passed, the prince returned here.

The old man stepped back again and maintained his position.

After a moment of silence.

The prince told me about the disposition I would receive.

“First of all, you have achieved something… Alice, you saved that child. So there are people who praise you.

Because it is true that they attempted to assassinate the royal family… “There are people who criticize you.”

“I expected it.”

“… You will soon be brought to trial. I tried to stop it, but the people who were in cahoots with your family are serious about bringing it to trial somehow.

Do you know?”

“I know.”

“You’re too calm. “Do you not want to live?”

“In the end, we succeeded in protecting it, right? “I put my life on the line long ago.”

“… “

Efferento said nothing for a moment.

But he knew better than anyone else.

Because his expression explained everything.

“Somehow… I will make sure you are found not guilty. Previously.”

Eferento took a moment of silence.

Then he got up from his seat and slowly approached me.

He approached me slowly and hesitated for something in front of me.
