Chapter 214.1: Resurrection
Chapter 214.1
The forcefield creaked.
The dragon dug its fangs into it, and closed its ferocious jaws on it little by little.
Raos, Heine and Ledriano were channeling all of their magic power into it, but to the dragon variant, they mustve been nothing more than food with a tough exterior.
And surely the three of them were aware of that.
What are you boys doing? Emilia muttered in shock.
Stop wasting your time here, and run away already! Theres no point in doing all this. You boys dont have to (Emilia)
The next words spontaneously spilled out of Emilias mouth.
Listen. You dont have to fight for someone you dont want to protect. If these are the shackles of a hero, then take them off now. (Emilia)
She was rephrasing the feelings she wanted to convey back when she slapped Raos on the cheek. Perhaps she had a feeling that this was her last chance to tell them.
People may criticize and even blame you for running away despite being heroes. But you dont have to pay attention to what anybody says about you. Let them say whatever they want. (Emilia)
Even as she felt like she was about to be swallowed by the dragon, Emilia kept her eyes on them.
Theres no need for you to feel hurt by the words of humans who dont understand the pain of others. Theres no need for you to risk your lives for them. (Emilia)
Even as she said that, Emilia had a self-deprecating expression.
Talking about people who didnt understand the pain of others mustve reminded her of her past self.
You dont have to bee Heroes. If youre afraid, you can run away. No matter how long or how far you run, I wont blame you for it. (Emilia)
The barrier creaked and distorted, then the tip of the dragons fang dug into her shoulder.
Ugh! Aaagh! (Emilia)
Her red blood oozed out.
Emilia was about to be devoured along with the barrier.
One last thing: fcomet about the spell. I dont know who taught it to you, but making students learn such a spell is wrong. Whoever taught you about it doesnt deserve to be a teacher. Emilia declared, hoping to remove one of the shackles binding them that way.
She probably thought that by telling them this, Raos and the other two would get out of there.
e on, hurry up! Please do what I say for once! This is Emilia said as she bit her own lip.
the only thing an inpetent teacher like me can teach you (Emilia)
Emilia looked at the three of them and yelled.
Now run! You boys still have futures ahead of you! Let me die fulfilling my role as a teacher at least once in my life! (Emilia)
Shut up!! (Raos)
As soon as he shouted, Raos and the others flew towards the dragon.
The barrier was destroyed.
However, the dragon didnt pletely close its jaws.
Right before it could, Raos, Heine, and Ledriano jumped into its mouth and prevented it from closing using their holy swords.
The hell you mean by your role as a teacher? Dont act like youre our teacher when youve only been here for a week! Raos shouted as if to fire himself up while holding the Sword of Holy Inferno Garriford.
What are you still doing here?! Youre letting all my efforts go to waste! (Emilia)
Seriously What a mean thing to say after all the trouble were going through to protect you, Emilia (Heine)
Heine used the Sword of Sacred Land Zere and the Sword of Sacred Earth Zeleo to stab through the dragons upper and lower jaws.
Stop fooling around! This monster could eat all four of us! You know that, right?! (Emilia)
Yes, I suppose it could (Ledriano)
Using the Sword of Holy Harbor Bailamente, Ledriano rebuilt a barrier inside the dragons mouth.
However, the situation wasnt much different from before. If the barrier was destroyed, Emilia would be devoured by the dragon for real.
Except this time, it would eat her three students as well.
Dont you understand yet?! The Hero Academys education is just a fools errand! You dont have to risk your lives for someone you dont want to protect! Hurry up and go! You can still make it out ali (Emilia)
Although Emilia reprimanded them, the three of them focused on channeling their magic power into their holy swords and didnt even try to get out of the dragons mouth.
Weve been called many names like fools, or scum But (Raos)
A crack appeared on Raos sword Garriford.
His holy sword couldnt withstand the dragons power.
Youre the only one whos ever told us that being a Hero or being Kanon didnt matter! (Raos)
But that That was because I knew nothing about this nations mon knowledge! I didnt say that for your sake at all! Whats the point of dying together with such a worthless teacher over one ridiculous misunderstanding?! (Emilia)
Then how about you try to bring back a teacher worth their salt?! Raos demanded angrily, as if lamenting and expressing his rage.
So where are they?! Where in this whole damn country would you find a single decent teacher?! (Raos)
A crack appeared on Heines swords Zere and Zeleo.
They both looked like they could break at any moment.
Theyre all nothing but trash. This country is much more rotten than you think. Sure, you may be trash yourself since you were only thinking about yourself. But the teachers in this country are nothing but **ing maggots who push their responsibilities onto their own students! (Raos)
Bailamente began to creak with a dull sound.
Since that war with Dilhade, you were the only teacher mendable enough to speak of a students responsibilities as her own. Ledriano said with a grim expression.
Emilia turned to him in surprise.
And besides! (Heine)
Heine clenched his teeth and desperately endured the fear of being swallowed by the dragon as he spoke.
Just think about it! No way were gonna take lessons from some full-fledged teacher at this point. A scumbag like you is just perfect for scumbags like us. (Heine)
Heine is right. Were fakes We may be stupid, short-tempered, hopeless scumbags who take out our frustration on others, but (Raos)
Stomping his foot and straining his arm, Raos mustered up his energy.
Even so, we sure as hell dont wanna end up like the filthy adults of this country! I cant bear to abandon my friends and run away, even if it kills me! We aint that rotten!! (Raos)
Raos tried his best to pry the dragons mouth open, but Garriford broke with a snap. But he somehow managed to keep it open with his broken sword.
Goddammit!! Cant you do something about this, Ledriano?! At this rate, were really gonna be screwed! (Raos)
Ledrianos face turned grim.
Then he spoke as if to bet everything on their next move.
Lets use . Its our only chance of winning. (Ledriano)
Thats fine and all, but if we drop the power of our holy swords and the barrier now, the dragon is gonna crush us in an instant What should we do? (Heine)
Well, one of us has their hands free right now, dont they? Someone who just so happens to have practiced the spell earlier Ledriano answered before looking at Emilia.
