I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 182 Chapter 41: Unreal (6)

Unreal (6)

While looking at the scene of a pure white pillar of light falling atop the Empire State Building in New York,

...Aveline Staberque's shattered soul fragment closed its eyes.

'It's a failure.'

In fact, he already knew this would happen. Although he could absorb all magic, he couldn't control 'Natural Celestial Energy.'

Even as the boy was drawn into the world he had built, he couldn't resist properly.

'I never thought I would see a fate passed down only in legends with my own eyes...'

During the 50 years that he had been dormant, the world had changed drastically.

A boy born with a special destiny.

A child of the stars.

Even girls blessed by the heavens.

Aveline Staberque's shattered soul fragment captured the final scene of Flame and Baek Yuseol embracing and disappearing into the pillar of light.

They will now return to reality and live their everyday lives as usual. Crying and laughing, sometimes getting angry and fighting, but still sharing happy days together.

'How beautiful yet pitiful.'

Why did the heavens intertwine those two in such a fateful way?

If a god exists, what on earth is he thinking?

Unfortunately, he will not be able to see the future they will create.

'I... will now vanish.'

He felt his presence slowly fading away.

Considering he attempted to absorb a child of the stars, it might be a cheap price to pay.

To begin with, the soul fragment of a mere mage was too insignificant to handle such a grand being.

It might have been his destiny to end up like this the moment he dared to think of absorbing her.

Even so, he was satisfied. He had witnessed 'her world' with his own eyes.

A truly magnificent, astonishing, and beautiful world. Though there was no mana, they had built a civilization more advanced than the Aether World with just one energy called electricity, a mysterious world, Earth.

'This is the homeland of the child of the stars.'

Thinking that seeing such a beautiful world at the last moment might make this death not so bad, Aveline Staberque's shattered soul fragment closed its eyes.

Heavy eyelids, feeling like a thousand pounds.

No matter how hard she tried to force them open, they wouldn't budge.

Let's think about it.

If her eyelids don't want to move, isn't there no reason to force them open?

Why go against her body?

'So sleepy I could die...'

Flame gave up trying to open her eyes and let her consciousness slip away.

"Shh, be quiet. If we get caught in the hospital room, we'll be in big trouble."

"You ate more than me."

"I was worried you'd have trouble if you didn't eat quickly..."

"Not at all."

"Oh, I was going to eat that..."
