I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist

Epilogue Episode 22. Professor, the progress is too fast (1)

“Haaa…”

In the heart of the city center of the island.

From time to time, the eyes of passers-by turned to the girl sitting outside at a cafe on a noisy street, drinking coffee.

She was a girl with dark skin and long ears, which was rare in the island.

However, none of the passers-by could have imagined that the girl was a princess from a place where the most acute conflict was currently taking place in the desert.

“Ah. The coffee is bitter. It’s bitter.”

Celica took a sip of coffee and frowned.

I’ve been drinking it almost every day since I came here, but it still tastes bad.

Nevertheless, Serica did not skip coffee even for a day.

She savored exotic flavors every day that she could not get used to at all.

To reflect on her current situation.

“Hmm.”

Celica crossed her legs and looked out at the street where her cart was busy.

It was truly a lively city.

Although problems such as slavery and worker exploitation lurk behind the scenes, the fact that it is a brilliant city has not changed.

The heart of the continental hegemony, where the population is constantly growing and magical innovations and inventions occur every day.

As I looked around the islands, I felt like I could understand how the huge nation called the Freya Empire was still maintained.

Celica was living a free prison sentence in that huge city.

On the outside, it seemed like she could run away at any time.

But it was impossible for her to escape Schluss’ eyes.

Since the opponent was an omniscient and omnipotent god, escape was not nearly impossible, it was simply something that could never happen.

Celica wasn’t so stupid that she couldn’t distinguish between her passion and her foolishness.

That’s why she decided not to harbor false hopes.

I just thought about my situation in this vast prison every day and savored the bitterness of it.

I sincerely hope that one day Schlus will act on a whim and allow me to return to the desert…

“I want to go home-“

Quang!

At that time, the ground shook loudly with a loud noise.

The fear of terrorism, which had been forgotten for a while, was revived.

Celica instinctively jumped out of her chair and tried to lie down when she noticed something strange right in her middle.

From a large hole in the road, a person’s face was sticking out.

“Cough! What is this? Someone is blocking the road!”

“Hey bro! What is this all of a sudden…?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I accidentally teleported with a rat that was crawling through a drain pipe.”

“Uh oh! Shu, Mr. Schlus?!”

“Oh my gosh, if it’s you, Schlus, then of course I should turn around and go! If it’s convenient for you, just keep doing that!”

“No, I’ll get out of the way soon…”

Schlus soon broke the road and started crawling out.

He came out completely, cleaned himself off, and restored the mess of the road to its original state with just a wave of his finger.

Celica, who had been staring at the figure with her mouth wide open, was embarrassed when Schlus approached, waving his hand, and turned her head away as if she was a stranger.

“Celica! It’s been a while?”

“Who are you…?”

“Why are you like this? Are you not happy with me?”

“I don’t have anyone who comes out of the sewer.”

“Behaving nicely. Here, please give me a cup of espresso.”

Schlus naturally sat across from me and even placed an order.

Only then did Celica come face to face with Schlus and did not hide her displeased expression at all.

She is said to be the key to the rebellion of the desert elves, and she was the one who imprisoned Celica here.

She had no intention of hiding her true feelings and fawning over that guy.

“Why are you so grumpy?”

“I think you know best.”

“How do I know… Well, I was just passing by and saw him so I came to meet him briefly, but it seems the timing wasn’t good.”

“Hmm. You look busy. Running around here and there.”

I guess I have no choice but to be busy.

I heard you have more than 3 wives…

According to popular rumors, there may be more than three people.

“I’m busy. There are more than one neighborhood where the violence is on the verge of immediate action. I’m trying to avoid getting involved in conflicts between races, but if they start fighting over trivial issues, I’ll have to do some mediation. .”

“······.”

Are you trying to avoid interfering with conflicts between races?

It was a funny sound.

Right now, I am the only one who is locked here to prevent the elves from gathering.

He was like a bundle of hypocrisy.

Normally, she would have thought that way and moved on, but today, for some reason, Celica was in a state of irritation.

Although she knew very well that she shouldn’t, Celica’s mouth was moving as it pleased.

“Do you love peace?”

“Well…If you had to choose between violence and peace, you would choose peace, right?”

“Ha. If there is no direct violence, does that mean peace? Saying that you aim for peace between races, but turning a blind eye to a human nation monopolizing the water sources and farmland of the elves and treating the elves like slaves, is that the way to peace? Right? Is it for the sake of peace that you keep me here and prevent the elves from uniting as a single nation and growing into a force that could threaten the humans? No matter what situation the elves and beastmen are in, as long as war doesn’t break out, that means peace to you? Huh?”

“······.”

After pouring out all the words she had been holding back, Celica huffed and glared at Schlus’s empty eyes.

Only then did Celica realize that she had made a mistake.

Perhaps she could have been liberated within a few years with the condition of never entering politics.

It was clear that even that last chance had just been kicked away.

But Celica had no regrets at all.

If it was her crime, she just said the right thing.

At least that’s what Celica thought.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“What?! Ha! You, now-“

“Didn’t I tell you that you could go back to the desert?”

“Huh?”

For a moment, I became angry again at Schluss’s puzzled expression, but Celica also became confused.

I can go back to the desert.

I don’t remember hearing anything like that.

“I didn’t do it.”

“I’m sorry. I must have forgotten. You are free. In fact, you have been free for a long time. I’ve been so busy with things these days that I haven’t had time to pay attention to you. I also thought you stayed behind because you liked the system so much that you didn’t go back to your hometown. Okay, whatever.”

“That can’t be possible!”

“No, you should have at least asked me to send you home. Then I would have remembered and told you that you were free.”

“You bastard…”

Celica felt her head spinning and laid down on her back.

In fact, I have been free for a long time, and I have not even tried to run away in fear of non-existent surveillance eyes, and I did not speak to Schlus to protect his pride, so I ended up in this huge prison. You were locked up in.

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“Huh. Ugh. Uhehehe.”

“Uh…Are you okay, Serika?”

“Oh, really. hahahahaha… I really hate you…”

What should I say about myself when I return to my hometown?

You haven’t been able to come back until now because I foolishly locked myself away?

It couldn’t be done.

That will never happen.

I couldn’t see the faces of my hometown people.

“Schlus······.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll just live here.”

“Didn’t you want to go back?”

“I don’t know. Shut up, you bastard.”

“Well, I’m sorry.”

Let’s just sit here.

Celica hastily slurped down the rest of her coffee.

I felt like I would have to quickly get used to this bitter taste.

***

“Hmm? Hmm?”

A bedroom with a comfortable and comfortable atmosphere.

Standing in the middle of it all, Erica crossed her arms and groaned.

It’s already been an hour since I’ve been standing quietly in one place waiting.

“What am I doing here?”

Erica decided to take a closer look back in time.

It was none other than Emilia who had called her here and told her to wait.

“Erika, Erica. You didn’t forget what I said last time, right? That’s tomorrow, so leave your schedule blank. When I call you, come home quietly.”

Now that cute but somehow obnoxious child calls me sister.

Without Erika knowing what was going on, she was called by Emilia and came to Schloss’ bedroom.

She couldn’t use the bed in someone else’s bedroom as she pleased, so she had no choice but to stand.

By the way, is this what you said last time?

What does that mean?

Erica massaged her throbbing head and looked back a little further.

Even though she could remember complex magic techniques well, the words she had heard in passing in the past were hard for Erica to stick in her mind.

“Ah!”

Erica finally remembered a meaningful clue and clapped.

Emilia clearly said this before.

She said she would help you do ‘it’ successfully with Schlus.

“That?”

However, Erica hit the wall again.

That’s it.

It seemed like it was a slang term that could be understood in context, but as Erica, she was unable to guess its true identity.

Clap…

“Ah, I’m tired.”

“It’s a lie. Oppa, you don’t feel tired anymore.”

“That’s what they say. That’s right.”

“······!”

At that time, when the door opened and Schlus and Emilia appeared, Erica was startled and struggled.

Erica was about to awkwardly greet Schlus by waving her hand, but she opened her mouth when she noticed that Schlus was not looking at her at all.

She had forgotten for a moment that there was a barrier spread out in front of her.

It was a barrier that allowed all light to pass through, but completely blocked magic waves.

So, Erica could hear and see the sounds and sights beyond her, but Schlus would not be able to see or hear her.

“What? What kind of barrier is this?”

“Mr. Feline is sleeping downstairs. I can’t wake him…”

“Is there anything that can’t be done?”

“I don’t like it… I want to have it all to myself today…”

As the sweet voices exchanged between the two, Erica felt something in her heart prickling with sorrow.

Soon the two got closer and she began to kiss her lips persistently.

As the two hands traced each other’s private parts and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other was heard, Erica’s eyes gradually widened.

Something was wrong with her.

Schlus can’t see beyond the barrier, but even if it were possible, Emilia would see me as fine.

“Crazy…”

Emilia’s eyes turned towards me and she smiled.

It was only then that Erica realized what Emilia was trying to show her.
