I Became the Academy's Pink Airhead - Chapter 26
Eid continued speaking with a regretful expression on her face.
She was still kneeling on Helper’s shoulder, lightly touching a round-shaped sword with one hand.
“You, who lived so passionately for battle, suddenly disappeared. I thought of looking for you, but… Tch. I got busy suddenly becoming the student council president from the second year onwards. I thought you were living well, but…”
“…”
“The transparency has completely vanished from your eyes. Clora! Your eyes used to sparkle like ‘Blue Flowers’ in the first year. Tch.”
“…”
Eid looked into my eyes with a longing gaze.
A battle idiot who only knew how to take new directions in the academy city.
For her, the most important thing was the spirit of combat rather than transparency.
-Hey… did the boss just…?
-Did she just compliment her by saying her eyes looked like ‘Blue Flowers’…?
At <Scarlet Academy>, saying someone’s eyes were like ‘Blue Flowers’ was a compliment that recognized the other person, as well as a sign of madness. It was the highest form of praise one could give to an opponent at <Scarlet Academy>. The impact of this praise coming from Eid, the strongest student known as [Crimson Trajectory], was significant.
Rumble, rumble.
Upon hearing this, all the students of <Scarlet Academy> present began to murmur, turning their heads. Their shadows moved busily beyond the flames.
Soon, a few third-year students remembered my name and exclaimed in surprise.
“[Nashin]…!”
“Could it really be that [Nashin]…?”
“The one who would endlessly pound opponents until they were exhausted with boundless ether…!”
“The martial god who fought solely with pure physical strength!”
In the midst of the murmuring and encouragement, Albatross just widened her eyes and muttered my name in a doubtful voice.
Kang Soyang, rubbing her chin, said:
“It’s definitely [Nashin]. But we need to confirm for sure. There’s a high possibility it’s true. We need to deal with this unexpected factor now.”
In the background, [Priest of Corruption], the boss handling rear-guard operations, recalled nearly being kidnapped.
‘From the start, the worst of the higher-ups, who were polluting the academy city environment, appeared...’
Though the main event related to the <Ratatosk> faction hadn’t started yet, this incident could cause chaos in our plan.
Despite having learned a lot, I felt reassured thinking that the starting point of the incident was far off. The current events and the knowledge I had were elements distantly removed in the timeline of the incident.
However, at least now I could understand that fate had already changed drastically. No matter how much I tried to act according to the original clear path, following the original storyline, I could no longer return to it.
I had already lost ties with many.
I had already lost the past with my companions.
During the reckless times, incidents erupted in places I was unaware of, gradually distorting fate. And these led to a storyline that twisted the rails towards an inevitable end.
“You should have believed. You couldn’t discard that omnipotent desire within your heart, wishing everything would return to its original state.”
All I had were bright fists and the knowledge of the original timeline, so my destiny wasn’t anchored in a hopeful future.
“…”
The time to let go of what I liked was approaching. In that process, I realized the precious feelings and love I received from a new type of senior.
And the strong longing… I realized I had to look back twice.
No, what would change now, even if I regretted it?
‘Just stop thinking about it in this situation.’
I clenched my fist, refocusing my mind. That was the reason I stayed still until the end, feeling the miracle of Eid.
The resolve learned from the seniors who fought while illuminating with their ether... that imagined resolve, learned from those girls, was not this. And the way to repay <Slime>, who allowed me to spend time like a brother, was not to regret here.
‘If it changed because of me, then I’ll take responsibility and fix it.’
I decided to use the changes caused by me.
Carefully, I made eye contact with Albatross.
In her brown eyes, a light flickered.
The emotions left in that worker’s eyes churned with uncomfortable feelings.
As I gazed at that worker, I understood what I had to do.
‘Poor thing, being dragged into an unknown situation...seeing a completely different past of someone you knew.’
I looked at Albatross and smiled. The most foolishly... and the most ‘Clora’-like smile, using all my strength to smile.
“It’s okay. Don’t be uneasy, watching this show-off. I’m the Clora you know. I’ll always be your senior.”
Not a character in the game, but when I say looking forward to future school life at <Mimir Technical High School>… I said it loudly.
To reassure her.
“…”
Whether that sentiment got through, Albatross’s eyes no longer wavered.
Seeing that, I nodded satisfactorily. And stepped forward to converse with Eid.
“Yes... saying something like ‘cute lady’...”
All the words from Bell’s mouth came out clearly enough for Eid to hear.
“Me... [Nashin]...! It’s been years, and now [years of hardship...! When I looked at the ether, there was no trace of it...!”
“...?”
“A moment’s misunderstanding...”
Hearing this, Eid also sighed deeply and said.
“Everything was true after all. You could always read the unstable ether when fighting with me since we were young.”
“Oh my, the [several-turn Nashin] read the state from that time...?”
“Well, I admit the last fight was won with sheer will, regardless of the [exact trajectory] of the ether…”
“...?”
A brief exchange between Bell and Eid.
Hearing that, my mind went blank for a moment.
“Several-turn Nashin...?! What kind of novel is that...?”
‘It’s risky, but Eid’s attack pattern is notoriously difficult to deal with, to the point of disrupting the range.’
My ether had wavered. To light up the ‘range’ of Rayden, who neutralizes opponents with ether waves, Clora divided the range skill hearts and used them all.
The micro hearts so small that the pattern of ether in the academy city sky couldn’t be distinguished. They were complex enough to complicate 3 ether defenses beyond the level of [waves].
Bell suddenly praised me, calling it an extraordinary skill, but it was just an urgent martial technique with a steep price.
“I didn’t tell you to parade around showing off my hidden move, but it felt so clean.”
However, in fact, it was a leisurely...
Eid, holding the sword on her shoulder, exchanged glances on the path.
Eid’s expression was initially one of disgust.
“A figure like Ray who doesn’t even use a weapon... Saying that, but the ether... There’s no way there isn’t a price to pay. Tch...”
“All ether levels break through with no cost to achieve legend...! To think the rumors about [several-turn Nashin] were true!”
I felt confused again.
‘Adding Clora’s skills, it was supposed to be a conditional weak leftover, but now...?’ And the personal weapon integrity was so low I didn’t know what to do now.’
Gradually, I started to feel the difference between my benefits and my perception.
The admiration I had for one aspect... that was the original appearance of this world, a system not present in the game <Yggdrasil Gate>. That seemed to be what Eid secretly acknowledged.
Bell was half revealing her face, feeling creepy. That face held fear, like looking at a wartime patient.
“What can I do! The seniors emphasized that ether abilities must be used as weapons! Practicing consumes one’s depth to determine urgent depth...!”
‘The moment’s result is to lose everything...! And even a weak skill similar in result...!’ - But I can’t handle it.
I hid in a laughable infinite situation.
<Mimir Technical High School>. The tired face of Maya. The office reeking of stench. The industrial hammer striking down with a blank expression.
-[Nashin], let’s check something. -I knew that rumor was intentionally spread false information. -A nonsensical rumor circulating among some third-year students.
Ah.
I finally felt something connect in my head.
Maya, skeptical by nature, almost never believed rumors. But for someone like Aya, who was strong in suspicion, to check ‘evidence’... She must have been thinking ‘maybe...?’ in her heart.
From a poor, remote school. A different way of fighting with ether. Almost no interaction with anyone except the strong, shrouded in mystery. And after the last fight, disappearing as if dead.
I felt like I understood where the rumor about [several-turn Nashin] originated.

In the midst of the murmuring and encouragement, Alvit just widened her eyes and muttered my name in a doubtful voice.
