I Became an Outcast in the Academy - Chapter 67 - END

11. Conclusion

A cadet named Xian was kicked out of Lutra.

At the time she heard that fact, Cartesia didn’t think anything of it.

To be exact, he wasn’t kicked out, but he left on his own after various circumstances and all kinds of strange rumors surrounding him, but that was what Cartesia saw.

In any case, the cadets who were unable to withstand the high-quality education provided within Lutra and eventually left on their own were widely criticized.

Of course, as a commoner, he was subject to countless checks from other cadets, but there was no need for Cartesia to pay attention to a chaff who chose to drop out on his own after less than half a year of admission.

‘That’s pathetic.’

In that way, the name of the cadet, Sian, was quickly forgotten and disappeared from Cartesia’s mind.

And time passed.

Ellie, Lobelia, Leticia, and Sepia graduated from Luthra with the highest grades ever and each took on the highest positions in the empire.

Elie was established as the only successor to Duke Orphega.

Leticia was the next magic tower lord and at the same time the successor to the current magic tower lord, and was one of the most powerful wizards in the empire.

Sepia was even being discussed as a candidate for a saint to continue her reign.

Lobelia successfully completed her engagement to Ricardo, and she rose to a position in the imperial court equal to that of Cartesia.

But there was no need to worry.

Because although the four of them were externally important talents of the empire, in reality they were nothing more than hunting dogs owned by the imperial family.

If a hunting dog confronts its owner, the outcome is predetermined.

Like him, no matter how powerful the four women were or how high their positions were, in the end, it was all just a mirage given to them by the imperial family.

If it is revealed that they were actually born and raised in the back alleys of an underworld, said to be the meanest in the empire, and that they would never have survived were it not for the capricious mercy of a mercenary, they will end up being ridiculed, not just ridiculed, by the people of the world. It will be.

So, the imperial family and Cartesia mistakenly believed that they could completely control them.

In fact, those four people were not even aware that they were dreaming of treason under their feet.

And one day, war broke out.

The powerful warlocks attacked the empire without declaring war, and the empire was surprised and lost 20% of its troops in an instant.

For some reason, the warlocks and their leader, Kyreion, had reached a level of greater power than was known to the world.

Crucially, those four b*tches who thought they were holding the leash tightly betrayed the empire just in time.

As a result, the empire collapsed in less than a year.

After that, life became hell for Cartesia.

No, not only Cartesia, but the world itself has become hell.

When the law and order established by the empire collapsed, all that was left in the world was endless chaos.

In such hell, Cartesia struggled endlessly to somehow survive.

As a result, he suddenly became the center of the force opposing the warlocks, and as he fought against the warlocks who constantly tried to kill him, he soon reached the level of a master.

And one day, while raiding the headquarters of the warlocks and rescuing prisoners held in prison, Cartesia rescued a man who was dying in a facility so strict that it was incomparable to other prisoners.

The prisoner’s name is Xian.

After he was falsely accused and expelled from Lutra, the two were able to reunite over 10 years later.

And…

“After that, it’s just a series of uneventful stories. Killing someone, struggling to survive, struggling to survive at all costs until he kills that bastard Kyreion… “

Thanks to you, when Cartesia quietly grumbled that she had lived a boring life where she couldn’t even hold hands with men, except for doing something absurd in her spare time, Sian ended up smiling bitterly.

“Then what happened to my younger sisters in the disappeared future?”

“I succeeded in killing him in the end. Well, that doesn’t mean it was an easy task.”

It was never said that Cartesia alone took on all four of them at the same time and then killed them all.

Even though her world was ruined to that point, the only ones who constantly pursued power were Lobelia and Leticia, and Ellie and Sepia had practically lost half of their motivation, so they could barely stand up to her.

“But in the end, Kyreion, that guy couldn’t be defeated. The guy from the vanished future succeeded in reaching a level close to godhood. He really put in a lot of effort to find the guy’s weaknesses… “It only reaffirmed the fact that there was absolutely no chance of victory in a head-on confrontation.”

Also, even if he succeeded in defeating Kyreion, it was a problem.

After the fall of the Empire at the hands of warlocks and traitors, the entire continent was devastated and countless people died.

Now, even if we killed one person who was considered the leader of the warlocks, there was no way everything would return to normal.

In the end, there was only one way to turn this whole situation back to the way it was.

“That…” “It was a way to turn back time?”

“It is a miracle that is infinitely close to impossible, but… Still, it wasn’t completely impossible. Because in the history books kept by the imperial family, there are several cases of people who succeeded in turning back time.”

But using the miracle of turning back time at will was not that easy.

It was an act of denying the history itself that this world had built up, rewinding the order backwards, and starting everything anew.

A feat literally close to a miracle of God.

In order to realize such a miracle with a mere human body… There were many conditions and costs that were extremely demanding.

“One of the costs was the life of the person using the miracle.”

“… “Your life?”

Xian narrowed his eyes at Cartesia’s words.

Contrary to the saying that she sacrificed her own life to cross time, isn’t Cartesia still alive and well?

“It doesn’t mean I sacrificed my own life. A person who sacrificed his life to transcend time… “It was sepia.”

“Sepia?”

“In order to use the method of transcending time in the first place, permission from the Heavenly God was essential, so the help of a priest was essential. And Sepia, who was held captive by us, volunteered to become a sacrifice.”

Because she took on the role of becoming a living sacrifice, Sephia’s memories from before the return remained after time returned.

However, since her returnee, Cartesia, existed in this world, even if she did not do anything, Sepia was expected to face her death as her body would soon collapse.

Because that was the ending that Sepia ultimately had to face as a reward for performing a reverse journey.

In her last moments, Sephia still did not understand why she had made such a choice.

And since time went back, she has been working as a double agent, even reporting to herself in detail what the other traitors are planning.

“Maybe… Sepia may have regretted her past self.”

“… Regret?”

“We were basically enemies, so we didn’t say much about each other’s intentions… Nevertheless, I sometimes felt something from sepia.”

Although there was no basis or logic whatsoever, Cartesia used to think that Sephia was regretting what she had done in the past and wanted to atone for her.

Isn’t that why she wants to return everything to the way it was, even at the cost of sacrificing her own life? She had this guess.

‘Probably by now…’ Sepia must be dead.’

Just before coming here, Sephia had somehow managed to preserve her collapsing body through divine power, but even that had already reached its limit.

However, at that moment that might be her last, Sepia only left these words to Cartesia.

‘Please take care of my brother, Her Highness.’

I still don’t know if it’s just a simple deception for self-consolation, or if it’s a sacrifice.

But one thing was certain about this.

Kyreion, who was about to ruin her future, died on the spot, and Cian was also able to somehow get revenge on her sisters.

“I left those girls carelessly on the street. “Do you mind if I don’t have to wait and see how they act from now on?”

At Cartesia’s words, Sian nods her head without the slightest hesitation.

“Lobelia’s existence was corrupted by her black magic, and Leticia was no longer able to use magic. “They both gave up everything they received from me, and from now on they will no longer be able to go out in front of others, so they have nothing to do with me anymore.”

Now both of them were going to go through hell just living their lives.

I was not a leisurely person to the point where I burned up a desire for revenge against girls who were destined to continue to suffer in their future lives.

If those two develop such an absurd desire for revenge against me, then I can just go ahead and kill them.

Because although they are not aware of it, Leticia and Lobelia are actually still connected through my ability.

“Then…” “What do you plan to do now?”

Saying that, Sian shrugged her shoulders towards Cartesia.

“Well, that’s right. I don’t know anything else, so I’ll have to go back to Lutra first. “I just remembered it now, but we were in such a hurry to get here that we didn’t even get permission to go out, right?”

In fact, even Xian himself did not know what to do from now on, but wasn’t such a matter something he could think about slowly while staying with Cartesia from now on?

Xian extended his hand towards Cartesia, and Cartesia also smiled brightly as she held her hand.

“Then let’s go back, Cartesia. And on the way back, I really want to hear about how far you and I had progressed before returning… “
