The students of Class 1 spontaneously gathered in the classroom.

Everyone looked extremely tired, and many had red and swollen eyes.

She had clearly been crying not long ago.

The group exchanged glances, but no one spoke, and they silently returned to their seats.

The atmosphere is heavy and depressing.

My mood was extremely low.

Maya was the last to enter the classroom. Sensing everyone's dejection, she lowered her eyes and looked sad.

When Julie saw Maya, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Where is Lingsa?"

"..."

Maya pursed her lips and shook her head.

"She still refuses to come out, and even the King of Ling and his family's attempts to persuade her are to no avail."

"Is that so..."

Julie's voice was low.

The carefree and outgoing personality of the past is no more.

"Is that guy, Roger, really dead?"

Rupa suddenly said.

He forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

"Isn't it said that evil deeds live on for a thousand years? It's just too unfair that guy died like that!"

"Waaah..."

Suddenly, a sob came from the corner.

Caiyin had her head down, her eyes red and swollen, like peaches.

"Rogge, Rogge is really, really pitiful..."

"He...he must be so lonely. He's endured so much, yet no one has ever understood him..."

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so useless... Roger helped me so much, but I... I couldn't help at all..."

Ayane started to sob.

"..."

Hearing Ayane's crying, everyone's hearts grew even heavier.

Yes.

What were Rogge's feelings when he entered the academy?

As a sinful race despised by the world, the only one who sees the truth of the world, bearing such a heavy mission, yet receiving no understanding from anyone.

After entering the academy, he didn't show it at all. Instead, he pretended to be carefree and forced a smile in front of everyone.

While joking and playing around with others, I listened to them cursing the sinful and alien races, and I had nowhere to express the bitterness and depression in my heart.

They even have to worry about their identities being leaked and being reported by others.

Roger must have been very lonely and in pain.

In the end, no one understood him.

His fearless attitude was probably just a disguise for self-protection.

Even though he couldn't gain anyone's trust, he still chose to fight, revealing the truth of the world to everyone and facing the world's malice alone.

Sacrifice yourself to save the world.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a sense of suffocation.

"Sigh, the classroom is too dull. Neither Ling Sha nor Fiora are here either. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Julie couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer, so she waved her hand and walked out of the classroom.

Unbeknownst to them, layers upon layers of dark clouds had gathered above the academy.

Heavy clouds pressed down, and soon a torrential downpour began.

slam-la-

The wind and rain were fierce.

Julie, soaked to the bone from the rain, unknowingly arrived at the activity room of the Foreign History Research Society.

She reached out and unlocked the door, then walked into the activity room.

The activity room remains the same as before, except that it is covered with a thick layer of dust due to the lack of cleaning over a long period of time.

Looking at this familiar scene, all the little things that happened here before my eyes came back to me.

In a daze.

She could almost see Roger sitting in the main seat, bickering with Princess Lingsa beside him.

Maya ignored him and sat down next to Princess Lingsa to review the documents.

Ira ran around, serving tea and water to everyone.

There was also Fiora sitting in a corner in a daze, which was discovered by Rogue, who forcibly dragged her to help.

Of course, Julie herself was there too, chatting and laughing with everyone.

How happy and wonderful those were!

However, everything is no more.

The gang has been completely disbanded. Ira is still alive, but Roger is dead.

Suddenly, Julie noticed the photo frame covering the cabinet.

She stepped forward and flipped through the photo frame.

"As expected... it's this photo..."

Julie wiped the picture frame.

As expected, the photos displayed were taken during the school anniversary celebration.

Everything changed after that.

Everyone thought Iraq was dead, and they were very depressed.

Rogge, in particular, has completely changed. He drove Princess Lingsa away and broke ties with everyone.

"That guy Roger definitely did it on purpose."

Julie said with certainty.

Now that they know Ira is an alien and Rog is a sinner, recalling Rog's actions back then, they realized it was all to protect everyone from being implicated if his identity were exposed.

"And what did I say to him in the end... oh right, a complete bastard."

Julie couldn't help but laugh.

He then slammed his fist against the wall.

boom!

"I'm the complete bastard!"

bang bang bang...

Julie pounded the wall again and again, ignoring the blood that welled up inside her.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."

"Julie, don't do this."

Maya's voice came from the doorway.

"..."

Julie stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Maya, and gave a smile that looked like she was on the verge of collapse.

"Maya, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"...We misunderstood Rogge."

Maya looked away, forcing back her grief as she spoke.

"He formed this club to search for the Demon Sword not to fight against humanity, but to save the world. In fact, it was too dangerous, so he later disbanded the club... He didn't want to use us..."

"I know... I know everything you're saying..."

Julie shook her head.

It seems that her movement was too large, and the photo in the frame fell out.

Julie quickly picked up the photos.

Then, she suddenly noticed a sentence written on the back of the photo.

That's Roger's handwriting.

Please forgive me for deceiving everyone.

"...What the hell?"

Julie couldn't help but chuckle.

Tears continued to fall uncontrollably.

"Rogge, you bastard! We're the ones who should be begging for forgiveness!"

Julie screamed, tears streaming down her face.

"Why did you suddenly die?! Come back here, you bastard! At least let me apologize to you!"

"Do you know how much Lingsa loves you? Do you know how heartbroken everyone will be if you're gone? Why did you leave without a word?"

"Please! Roger, don't disappear, come back! Let me apologize to you... I'll do anything you ask if you can come back... Please... come back..."

By the end, Julie had broken down and was sobbing uncontrollably.

"..."

Maya watched Julie cry without saying a word.

She simply walked slowly to Julie's side and gently hugged her.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"Julie, don't cry, let's go find Lingsa."

"Yes, Lingsa likes Roger so much, she definitely needs more comfort than we do."

The two leaned on each other as they returned to their dormitory to find Princess Lingsha.

However, they didn't even get to see Princess Lingsa.

No matter how the two tried to persuade him, the other party did not respond.

Princess Lingsa locked herself in her room.

No one is visible.
