<h4>Chapter 211.1</h4>
Look what you did! The spell failed because of you three! (Emilia)
Emilia med Heine and co. in a sharp tone.
Oh yeah? Well aint that a shame. Raos said without an ounce of guilt.
On that note, Emilia. Youre not supposed to use your magic power so aggressively when casting barrier magic. The way of the Heroes is to fight to survive, not to kill. But then again, the killing doese afterwards, though~. Heine said while giggling in a teasing way.
Thats Emilia-<b>sensei</b> to you! Also, what are you ying at?! Dont pretend to be the teacher when youre just a student! (Emilia)
In the first ce, if you are our teacher, should you not be more adept at barrier magic than we are? (Ledriano)
S Silence! (Emilia)
Emilia poitevin and turned away as sheshed out at Ledriano.
At that same moment, the door to the auditorium opened.
Good grief. As always, this academy cant teach a single proper lesson. (Zamira)
The one who appeared was Zamira, the headmaster of this academy.
Behind him were soldiers dressed in formal outfits and lined up in a row.
The hell you want, Mr. Bigshot? You here to interrupt the lesson again? (Raos)
You fool. I have no business with an impostor like you. I heard about your sses. Training to run away from dragons, was it? Zamira said mockingly.
Ive never heard of a Hero that runs away. The Hero Kanon, on the other hand, always fought to the death. So when a national emergency strikes, are you going to use those legs you trained to run with your tails between them? (Zamira)
Raos left his seat and red at Zamira in anger.
However, thetter had dozens of soldiers behind him.
So he wouldnt be able to shut him up by force like he didst time.
You can p your gums after youve defeated a dragon first. (Zamira)
Zamira headed distraught for the podium.
Then he bowed to Lay and Misa.
We havee to wee you, Great Hero Kanon and Misa-sama. We have prepared a carriage for you out front. Today, we will hold a banquet at the royal pce. In a few days, we will be ready to hold a ceremony. We would be honored if you stayed at the pce until then. We shall make sure to provide you with the utmost hospitality worthy of the one true Hero and champion of humanity. (Zamira)
Without losing his smile, Lay asked a question.
I know I already asked for it yesterday, but will I be able to have an audience with the king of Gairadite? And I would also like to meet the other royals as well. (Lay)
But of course. The king would like to meet you himself. As for the rest of the royal family (Zamira)
Zamira was about to say something but stopped mid-sentence.
Ah, I mean, this way, please! Let us speak in the royal pce, not in this dreary ce. (Zamira)
Lay nodded and turned to Misa.
Shall we go? (Lay)
Yes. (Misa)
The two followed after Zamira.
The soldiers shily split to their left and right, lining up to make way for Lay.
As he walked, they followed behind in reverence.
They left the main auditorium and closed the door.
In the midst of this silence, a voice rang out.
I cant take this shit anymore (Raos)
It was Raos.
With a look of humiliation on his face, he stomped his way to the door.
Then he kicked it with all his might.
GODDAMMIT! FUCK HIM!! FUCK THAT PIECE OF SHIT!! (Raos)
Again and again, Raos kicked the door.
Raos-kun! Stop damaging school property! Is this how you vent out your anger?! (Emilia)
Emilia stepped down from the podium and tried to hold down Raos as he rampaged.
SHUT UP! (Raos)
Raos shook Emilia off as hard as he could, and knocked her back.
She fell to the floor, then pushed herself up, and red at him.
No one expects anything from us anyway.
A strong thought leaked out from <Sanctuary Aske>, which was still activated.
Everything we do is pointless. None of it matters.
Filled with intense, seething rage.
Sure, we may not be the most exceptional people around. We know that by now.
As the spellcaster, Emilia could hear those thoughts.
She was carefully listening to them.
But the adults are even trashier than we are!
We risked our lives training to fight dragons, yet he uses us of running away?!
And despite that, we still gotta protect scum like him?!
By tracing the origin of his burning anger, I could see that there was something more.
They praised us as Heroes.
They worshiped us for being the reincarnations of the Hero Kanon.
Then one day, outta the blue, were told that it was all a lie.
Perhaps that feeling was disappointment.
They did a 180 and started treating us like shit.
All these years, we never stopped doing exactly as they told us.
We became the Heroes you assholes wanted so much!
From being med so intensely and unfairly.
Why are we suddenly being med for doing as they told us?
If everything we ever did lost all meaning just because were not the Hero Kanon
Then ultimately, nothing we do will ever matter
All the three of them could do was shout in anger.
Were not Heroes
Were just a bunch of worthless phonies
Dammit!
Why couldnt we be born as real Heroes?
Why?
All of Raos pent-up depression swirling inside <Sanctuary Aske> exploded.
However, though the words were his, the feelings werent his alone.
As if reacting in sync with them, the magic power coating Emilias body swelled up.
Heines thoughts, Ledrianos feelings, and the negative emotions of the students of the former Jerga-Kanon ss united and were converted into magic power.
What? Raos spat.
Just strike me back with your signature p if thats what you want. Whats the problem? You feeling sorry for us? Is that it? Well we dont want your damn pity!! (Raos)
Dont think youre the only ones Emilia muttered up as she stood back up.
Huh? Say what? (Raos)
I said dont think youre the only ones feeling miserable here! (Emilia)
Emilia pped Raos on the cheek.
Ow! (Raos)
If you have no intention of protecting anyone, then get out. Emilia said while pointing at the door.
