Academy’s Genius Swordmaster

[Abduction 6. Dream drinking bird (5) ]

# A6

“My son was caught!”

“Sita you bastard…!”

Ronan growled. He ran so much that he could taste blood in his mouth. Iril, who belatedly met his eyes, let out a bewilderment.

“Ro Ronan?”

“Hello sister…Huu, is the business worth doing?”

“That’s right, but what happened? When your whole body is covered with sweat… and then suddenly sit down?”

“Literally, the one who is being held by my sister right now is Sheeta. turned into a human.”

“What?!”

Erill’s eyes widened. Somehow, I thought the impression was familiar. Ronan snatched the cup of water from the customer next to him and drank it down.

“Hee-ik…!”

“Puha… Damn it, I think I’m going to live a little longer.”

I could feel the cold water running down my hot esophagus. It was the first time he had sweated like this since the war with Nebula Clazier. Ronan, who wiped his mouth with his sleeve, continued.

“But why is your face so red? Did you even kiss the Schlieffen kid?”

“What are you talking about now! It’s just hot!”

“It’s a surprise. I was just joking.”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Iril turned his head while covering his blushing face with both hands. Schlieffen was completely frozen and his mouth was twitching. Just then, a young man entered the front door.

“Did you finally find it?”

“okay. Thank you.”

“I would have told you not to call me that.”

Itargand frowned. The youngest son of Navardoze, he was still attending Phileon Academy.

“Let’s go over that a bit. How do you sing the five letters of Itargand every time and sit down?”

“You ignorant bastard….”

Itargand owes 70 percent to the fact that Ronan, who has no wings, was able to establish a similar game of tag with Sheeta. He magically alerted Sheeta’s location in real time and tripled Ronan’s running speed.

‘It’s a shame we ran into each other by chance.’

It was in the midst of Ronan breathing a sigh of relief. Illil, who barely calmed down, looked down at Sheeta and asked.

“Is it really Sheeta?”

“huh. I got caught.”

“Wow…so cute! Ronan looks just as pretty as when he was little.”

Iril hugged Sheeta. It sounded absurd, but strangely, I believed it. Sheeta, who had been purring with her eyes closed, opened her mouth.

“Thank you for always being nice to me.”

“Ehehe, why are you suddenly like this?”

“Really. I was so happy to be with my sister. I can’t go home now because I’m so big, but I really wanted to tell you this.”

Sheeta buried her face in Iril’s arms again. Suddenly, water formed in her eyes. The days we spent together were running through my mind.

One afternoon when I fell asleep stroking Sheeta on my lap after eating together every day. Iril picked up her apron and wiped her eyes.

“What are you talking about… Rather, you said you protected me.”

Looking back, Sheeta spent a lot more time with her than Ronan. It was Sheeta’s mission to protect Iril on behalf of the busy Ronan.

And Sheeta did an excellent job. It was a moving scene, but Ronan was not willing to waste any more time. Because the duration of Polymorph magic won’t last forever. The man with his arms crossed opened his mouth.

“Anyway, the game of hide and seek ends here. Come on.”

“Hi-eeing…I wanted to play more.”

Sheeta bowed her head. He pulled away from Iril and turned to Ronan. Glad you caught on somehow. Ronan was just about to take Sheeta away.

“Don’t do that, let’s play a little longer!”

“what?”

Chow! Suddenly, Sheeta’s four wings spread out like an explosion. His blurred form shot forward.

Ronan’s eyes widened. He hurriedly stretched out his arm, but Sheeta just barely brushed his fingertips past him. In an instant, Sheeta overtook Itargand and left the restaurant and stopped on the side of the road.

“Ahaha! You won’t get caught this time!”

“Damn it, I can’t stand up right now!”

I was careless. Ronan spat out curse words and ran out of the restaurant. Sheeta playfully sticking out her tongue was about to fly up.

There was no time to pull it to the aura. Like it or not, I had to gamble. But I don’t know if this will work. After switching power sources, Ronan opened his eyes and shouted.

“I told you to stop!”

“uh?”

At that moment, Sheeta’s world turned dark. In the dark world, nothing could be seen or heard. Even the wind was silent and left him.

“Oh Dad?”

Sheeta cried out from the terrifying feeling of deja vu. The pressure of being left alone weighed down on him. Come to think of it, it seemed like this happened once more today.

“huh…?”

Sheeta, who suddenly felt a sting, turned her head. And it just froze. Ronan disappeared without a trace, and a huge black snake was glaring at him.

“Come down.”

“Ppa!”

said the snake. A shrill scream escaped Sheeta’s mouth. The unconscious body fell helplessly. Ronan, who jumped quickly, caught Sheeta.

“Pyaumu… bbiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

“Damn, I never thought I would use this here.”

Sheeta was causing a game like a nightmare. It seemed like it would take some time for him to come to his senses. Ronan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Everything I learned from Nabi Rose. I thought that the day would come when I would write it, but I didn’t expect that I would write it while playing hide and seek.

‘I caught it anyway, so it’s okay.’

But thanks to that, I was able to catch Sheeta. It was the car he was going to return to after achieving his primary goal. A grotesque voice came from behind me and grabbed my leg.

“Ghugghhhh… gagging.”

“ah.”

Ronan, who turned his head, stiffened like a stone statue. At the time of the mansa act, the people in front of him were fainting and causing a game.

“Oh mother….”

Itargand, who was right in front of him, was even frothing. Behind him, Iril and Schlieffen Josef were staring at him dumbfounded. Ronan, who wiped his face once, murmured softly.

“Fuck.”

****

Unexpectedly, the situation was resolved quickly. It was fortunate that Ronan’s proficiency in everything was still low. Ronan apologized to Iril and the guests before leaving.

“sorry. You ruined business.”

“no. I don’t know why, but everyone seemed to like it rather than being offended? He said he would definitely come next time.”

The customers who had fainted returned, declaring that they would become more regulars. All of them had one thing in common: they were all briefly nursed by Iril. Ronan, barely swallowing what he wanted to say, turned his back.

“It’s not easy…I have to go first. How are you, sister?”

“Ronan too. After all, it comes once every two days. Next time Sheeta transforms into a human, be sure to bring her!”

Ronan carried the fainting Sheeta on his back and headed to Phileon. Before I knew it, the dark sunset was coloring the sky and the streets. It was around the time we reached the school gate. Sheeta, who had been groaning, opened her eyes.

“Ugh…”

“Are you awake?”

“…dad?”

Sheeta tilted her head. My head felt dizzy, as if I had been flying through turbulence. Sheeta, who grasped the situation before long, mumbled with her face buried in Ronan’s back.

“Caught. To be honest, I was confident.”

“It’s because I look at my dad funny… No, wait, why am I your dad? Will you keep doing that?”

“Can’t I call you that?”

The sullen Sheeta lowered her head. It seemed that he had become a bad guy in an instant. Ronan twitched his lips and let out a sigh.

“Hey, do whatever you want. If I go back to my original form anyway, I won’t be able to speak.”

“Hee hee, yes.”

“But if I am the father, who is the mother? Maybe that hairy chirp?”

Ronan asked in a nervous voice. First of all, the one who laid Sheeta’s egg was Marfez, the dream bird that Varen raised.

It was a car that was concerned about being involved in a scandal with algae. Sheeta shook her head slowly.

“no. Marfez is a friend. And the successor.”

“A successor?”

“huh. I don’t know what to say in human words. So…the one who provided the house for her to be born into?”

“It is difficult. Then who is the mother?”

“doesn’t exist. Ronan is both a father and a mother. Because you gave me a dream.”

Ronan frowned at the incomprehensible words. It seemed that there was a difference between dream birds and human common sense in many ways. Recalling what happened today, Sheeta rubbed her cheek against Ronan’s back.

“Hee hee Anyway, I had a lot of fun today. Are you going back to Baren now?”

“ok. It should be.”

“Ugh… can I drop by somewhere, Daddy?”

“Where? As long as it doesn’t take long, it doesn’t matter.”

“I can’t go on foot. wait for a sec!”

After saying that, Sheeta suddenly spread her wings. Hwaaak! Ronan’s body rose into the air in an instant. He laughed as if he was suddenly flying in the sky.

“You are very strong.”

“Hee hee right?”

Sheeta growled. While polymorphing, it seemed that even though his size was reduced, some strength remained. The two of them crossed the sky as if they were swimming and landed on top of a tower in Phileon Academy.

“Is it a secret base?”

“huh! My favorite place here!”

Sheeta laughed. Indeed, on the gently sloping roof, black feathers were scattered sparsely.

“…it’s fine.”

Ronan looked around and whistled. The vast Phileon Academy came into view at a glance. The landscape he had been beholden to for years was burning in the setting sun.

Buildings and spiers with their backs to the sun looked like shadows plucked from the ground. The cooling evening wind ruffled her hair. Ronan was in the middle of appreciating the superb view like someone possessed by something.

“Yes. Memories of my father flooded into me when I was still an egg.”

“what?”

“I remember every single thing. Dad at that time was always soaked in sadness. Daddy said this to me while I was still sleeping.”

Ronan flinched. Sheeta turned around and closed her eyes. The small lips parted slowly.

“I wanted to save you. I hated seeing my comrades die in front of my eyes. If only I could stop the bleeding, if only I knew how to heal this wound, no one would have to die.”

“What…”

“I wanted to fly. I was helpless in front of a giant flying through the sky. Only I can cut that bald head, but my sword can’t reach that far.”

Ronan’s eyes widened. Those were the words that he kept only in his heart after going through the hell of his previous life and returning.

“I don’t mind getting covered in blood. If you can protect everyone, that’s enough. So please don’t die in front of me anymore.”

Paaa…! Suddenly, Sheeta’s body began to glow. The polymorph magic was about to break. Sheeta didn’t care and continued.

“So I was born. To live, to fly, to be covered in blood for everyone. I drank my father’s dreams.”

It seemed that he knew now. All of Sheeta’s abilities were what she longed for. Healing abilities that could revive dying comrades, and even the ability to fly that could cut down flying giants. It was a skill worthy of the name.

“Thank you for showing me my dream. It was short but really enjoyable. I will never forget this day…”

Suddenly, Sheeta murmured. A long shadow fell over the roof of the tower. Ronan, who had been silently watching the sunset, opened his mouth

.

“Byeah.”

A familiar cry was heard. When I turned my head, Sheeta, who had returned to her true form, caught my eye. Ronan murmured softly as he stroked Sheeta who was slapping him on the cheek.

“You were me. Sheeta.”
