How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

60 – Light green dream (6)

“Ugh…what is this…”

The girl in light green puts her hands on the floor, shakes her head, and stands up.

When Eugenia came to her senses, what caught her eye was the miserable scenery surrounding her.

The ground has been hollowed out, and the rocks have been smashed into pebbles. The vegetation all around is wet and dripping with water.

After taking a look around the surrounding landscape, the one at the end of it is a man with dark black hair lying down next to him.

“uh…?”

Just in case something big happened to him, the girl’s heart sank.

I ran up to him and put my finger under his nose, and a light breath passed through my fingertips to her.

Fortunately, he only lost consciousness, but there doesn’t seem to be a problem with his life right now.

“phew…”

Eugenia sighed lightly, then whimpered and straightened her posture so that he could be more comfortable.

As Edwin, who had been lying on his side, was properly positioned, Eugenia was able to look at his face from a closer distance.

“Wow… wow…”

Feeling a little embarrassed, Eugenia let out a small exclamation.

This is my first time looking at the face of a man other than my childhood friend so closely.

Jet-black, well-groomed hair, a slim and sharp jawline, a sharp nose bridge, and skin that is slightly dark but clear and clean without a single speck.

Even with his eyes closed, every bit of his elegance was conveyed to him.

“…Waaah…”

Eugenia, who had been lost in admiring him for a moment, suddenly pinched her cheek to call his attention.

“No, no… this is not the time… what should I do…”

Eugenia tried to remember how she had ended up in this situation, but she could not remember any of the gaps in between.

Eugenia’s last memory was hearing Edwin’s callous rejection of her request, and feeling intense sadness and depression boiling inside her.

Another strange thing was that I could not sense the presence of any spirits around me at all.

The area around the academy was filled with spirits wherever you went. Where have all those children gone?

So many mysterious things happened at once in a short amount of time that her brain couldn’t keep up with the current situation.

– Kyuwoo!

On top of Eugenia’s head, who continues to worry without an answer, a familiar pale green ball of cotton that she has always felt appears.

“Huh…? You…! Where have you been!”

Feeling more than usual, Eugenia grabbed a wad of cotton and rubbed it on her cheek.

The spirit seemed to accept the touch calmly, then suddenly jumped up and smashed his body against her forehead.

“Why all of a sudden? I grabbed it too hard…uh…?”

Eugenia’s body momentarily flinched and stiffened at the memory that the spirit had directly contacted and conveyed to her.

Scenes began to appear one after another in her mind.

In that memory, he kept his head down and muttered inaudible words.

The nearby spirits have turned into a dull light, and rain and wind are blowing around, digging up the soil and breaking rocks.

And standing across from him is Edwin Reed, the man who rejected him.

Edwin struggled for a moment, holding his head with both hands, then stretched out his hands into the air and continued to project unrefined mana.

The spirits that touch Edwin’s mana regain their colors. At the same time, the surrounding abnormalities gradually begin to calm down.

As time passed, Edwin had a very difficult time, but he did not give up until the end.

In the end, all the spirits around him came under his control, and Edwin accepted him, who had exhausted all his strength, and gently laid him down on his seat. And he used his last strength to scatter the spirits far away.

Edwin, who had exhausted all his strength, collapsed on the spot.

“Uh…uh…?”

Eugenia’s thoughts stop. It was he, not anyone else, who created the tragedy around him, and it was Edwin who prevented it.

And only after peeking into the spirit’s memories, Eugenia remembered that this was exactly the spirit that the principal had warned about. I was able to painfully realize why the principal emphasized the importance of peace of mind.

Eugenia sighed deeply.

I thought it was okay, but I guess I’ve been under a lot of stress lately.

Eugenia turned her head towards Edwin again. He was still breathing lightly and not waking up.

He clearly knew that Dong-jo could not be stopped without help from those around him, and when he recalled his memories, it seemed clear that Edwin was the one who prevented his Dong-jo.

Eugenia was curious about Edwin.

Seeing as how he used all his strength to help me, I think he’s definitely not a bad person.

However, if he got along so well with other children, why did he react so strongly to being asked to be his friend?

Since he is a nobleman, does he not want to become friends with an old-fashioned kid like me?

When I first saw him sleeping with a spirit, I thought I had finally found a like-minded friend.

Eugenia’s shoulders droop down without any strength.

… I’ll have to say I’m sorry when I wake up. I think I pushed myself too far. So maybe it’s natural to hate it so much…

As I was thinking about that and staring blankly at Edwin, his closed eyes suddenly opened.

And his eyes turned directly to Eugenia, who was looking at him.

“Uh…huh?”

***

I feel it.

All kinds of subtle sensations moving through my body.

A heart beating regularly, leaves swaying in the wind, and large and small uneven stones felt behind the backboard. and… I can feel someone’s light breath on my face.

“uh…?”

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a pair of light green eyes staring at me from a very close distance.

“I’m…sorry…I didn’t mean to do something weird…! Don’t misunderstand…don’t misunderstand…!”

The girl who looks like a blade of grass waves her hands and mutters at high speed. I raised my upper body with my hands, but my arms lost strength and I stumbled and fell.

“…Watch out! It’s still time for the power to come back…wow!”

Seeing me like that, the girl quickly came over and supported me, but instead, we were swept away by my weight and we fell back to the floor.

On top of me, who was laid down again, Eugenia, who had a somewhat sloppy posture, was still riding. I see two pale green eyes that are trembling at a tremendous speed. At such a close distance, even her inhalation and the sound of her heart beating wildly can be heard.

“Ah…huh…?”

“…get out of the way…it’s hard to breathe…”

The girl didn’t think about coming down on her own. Unable to bear it, I urged her, and only then did Eugenia’s blank eyes return to focus.

And it comes down as if it is rolling at a speed never seen before.

Even after the girl came down, I was so weak that I remained in the lying position.

Eugenia was silent for a while, then apologized to me in a low voice.

“I…I’m sorry…”

“…It’s okay…If what just happened, there’s no need to…”

“No, not that… No, of course I’m sorry about that too… but I was so stubborn that I decided to just be friends… I’m sorry…”

Eugenia’s voice was very downcast. I was worried that something like what just happened would happen again, but even though he was depressed, he seemed to be maintaining his calm emotions this time.

“There must be something called your position… but I think I was only thinking about myself…”

“…”

“Hey, I won’t bother you to be my friend anymore. So, can you listen to my story one last time…? I’ve been so frustrated because I haven’t had anyone to talk to openly… I really just need you to listen to me for a moment…”

“…If that’s the case…”

When I nodded, Eugenia sighed with relief. And then he started telling his trivial stories.

He lived a normal life in a rural village, but one day he discovered Manahat’s awakening and came to the academy with his childhood friend Eugene.

At first, I was just happy and excited, but soon I became increasingly stressed about life at the academy with strangers from different backgrounds.

So at first, he clung closely to his childhood friend Eugene, but soon he made other friends, and recently he barely saw him outside of class.

In the midst of all this, his supernatural ability as a spiritist was revealed, but he couldn’t make it known to the public, so he had to keep the joy to himself.

At the beginning of the semester, she couldn’t make any friends because she only hung around with Eugene, but now most of her groups have formed and she’s lost among them.

While he was going through such gloomy days, a spirit led him to this mountain, and he was happy to meet me here, so he approached me that way.

“under…”

Listening to Eugenia’s words, I can’t help but sigh deeply.

Not only did I find out why she came here, but I also figured out why her mental state was so unstable right now.

Eugenia’s position was taken away too quickly.

And that’s because of me, not anyone else.
