Hard Work Will Never Betray Me (WN) - Chapter 145

“Yes, it’s a winning situation!　…… Christophe, you’ve done it every time!　Pull your hand out of your sleeve soon, you blundering idiot!”

“If he doesn’t die, it doesn’t matter. The best way to do this is to use a good friend to help you out. overprotective elf. ……”

Indeed, Christophe was right: the attack that appeared to have pierced Oscar’s stomach did not actually cut through his stomach. Of course, it did penetrate, and it did take some damage, but it did not actually puncture his stomach. The physical damage can be converted into psychological damage, which is a characteristic of this ward.

“You idiot! Even if it is mental, if the damage is too strong, it can still lead to death. Do you want to become a murderer?”

“What is the use of showing mercy to one or two people who would die at this point?”

“Christophe!

That calm Marie is enraged. Fortunately, Oscar doesn’t seem to have been fatally wounded, and seems to have just been knocked out normally,……, but now that I’ve seen it, I’m mad at it too.

A cold, inexpressible feeling took over my head, and my thoughts sharpened all at once.

“Marie.”

I put my hand on Marie’s shoulder, who is angry for Oscar’s sake, and turn around.

“What is it? If you don’t teach him now, who will teach him then?”

　I shook my head slowly and then told Marie.

“Marie, he’s not going to learn it”

“What, Eberhard?”

“There is a saying, ‘The soul of a triplet lasts until the hundredth day. Human nature does not change so easily.”

You mean, “The spirit of a human is not cured until death”?　It is true that there was a similar saying in the elven forest where I grew up,……, but I am an teacher .

　Heh. I didn’t realize there were similar lines in other worlds. But, well, I’m sorry Marie, but it would be impossible for anyone to correct Christophe’s personality. Marie is an excellent teacher , but he had not changed even after a year of training under her. No, he had refused even Marie’s teaching in the first place. He is a very irredeemable person.

“Marie’s enthusiasm for teaching should be used elsewhere. He is already out of Marie’s control .”

“Yes, Eberhard ……”

　I guess Marie is aware of this. That she can’t handle that guy anymore. But her position as an instructor won’t allow her to express it clearly in words.

So I get to be the one to put it into words. And I’m going to clear up the problem.

“I’ll beat him. I’m going to beat him, no sweat. I’m not going to say anything stupid like ‘I’m going to knock him back in the face. I’m going to smash Christophe.”

…………..

　Marie’s eyes were shaken as she heard those words. The sense of duty as an teacher is to raise every one of students up to be great, and the relief that they might be saved from their inescapable situation as a human being.

　Marie says nothing. I can’t say anything. too

　—- It’s not that I’m going to kill him. I would, however, at least give him a second chance. No matter how much I hate him, no matter how evil he is, if I am going to commit an act that will significantly affect the life of another person, I need to carefully examine the meaning of that act before I do it.

　So, this is my self-interest. Marie is suffering, everyone else is fed up, and most of all, I can’t forgive myself. So I want to solve that problem forcefully by using my power as I see fit.

As a result, it may happen to be easier for everyone, or Marie may happen to be saved, but it is never for them.

I use my power for the sake of my own selfishness. Therefore, I will have to take responsibility for whatever the result will be. I need to make that decision now. Otherwise, I will be just like that Irresponsible man there.

In the name and on the responsibility at hand, :Captain Eberhard Karlheinz von Flensburg-Fahrenheit, commander of the 201st Special Division. Christoph von Brunsch. You have put the lives of young men and women in danger by playing with them, and you have shown no signs of regret for your actions. In light of the above, I has determined that Christophe is a dangerous individual who is likely to cause similar dangers in the future. Therefore, in accordance with Article 9 of the Imperial Military Code, “Responsibility for Dealing with State Traitors,” you are hereby removed for the sake of the Empire’s future.”

“What?　You’re going to eliminate me?”

“Yes. , I’m going to get rid of you.”

　The air was tense

“You’re funny, ……. You can try if you want!”

‘I am an imperial military officer. If you resist, you will immediately be considered to be in open rebellion against the Empire.　If you turn back, this will be the last chance”.

But it’s probably useless to say that.

:I don’t know. The …… empire is the empire, you know. I don’t care about my family or my country anymore. I’m going to live my life the way I want ”

“Christophe…… you……!”

Werner shouts in front of Christophe’s rebellious statement. He was the only one who cared about Christophe, while everyone else avoided him. He can’t abandon him.

　But Christophe seemed to take no notice of Werner.

“Fuck this!　The world that doesn’t approve of me is trash!　I will burn it to the ground. I am free!”

　Christophe cries out, his whole body filled with magical power. His expression was more radiant than ever, as if he had just been blown out of the water.

　 　 The sight of Christophe smiling and showing his true colors as if he had been freed from a burden seemed a little too shocking to the other trainees.

‘…… Christophe wanted this to happen”?

Werner, seeing Christoph, who was enjoying himself despite the fact that he could no longer stand back, couldn’t help but say so himself.

“If he had been a mere child with no power, he wouldn’t have been so twisted IT maybe things wouldn’t have gotten so twisted.’

　Well, that’s just a story of what might have been. As long as the reality is as it is, there was no way things could have turned out any other way.

“Ha ha ha ha!　I’ll kill some of you for the beginning !　I was fed up with you guys. Especially Marie, Eberhard and Werner. You were too much of an eyesore for me!”

“……!””

,’That’s not right for two people who cared about you. Don’t you know the word ‘morality’?””

….’”.. morality?　Don’t impose your conventional wisdom on me. I am not like you.”

I’m not like you.” Is this how warped a person is who does not have the norms that should be equipped in a person, internalized in him

“Werner.”

“What?　Eberhard.”

It just means that sometimes relationships don’t go well. Now it’s better to try to let it go as quickly as possible.”

‘…… I agree. Eberhard is right. It’s not so easy to get involved with people.”

Although Werner was concerned about Christophe, he was not that close to him. He was the only one who tried to lend a helping hand to Christoph as a fellow trainee.

　Werner, who has somehow accepted the reality of the situation, looks at Christophe with a serious expression on his face. Werner is known for his playful personality, but I was thinking that he might be the one with the kindest heart among the group.

“Christoph.”

“What, an incompetent man with no attributes?”

“You’”You’re going to take on Marie and me, and then kill a few more people?　Are you serious about that, …………?””

“Yes!　I’m not afraid of being treated as a criminal by the government anymore now that I’ve given up my position. I’m going to torture you to death after I beat you especially hard”.

“I’m asking you if you really think you can do such a thing. did you become so strong?　You.””

　Do any of us think that Christophe, who has been hanging on to his talent, no matter how talented he is, can spare the time to attack another human being with me and Marie as his opponents?

　There is no such thing —-.

‘……, I’ll kill you!　First of all, Eberhard, you first!”

“I’m a higher ranking noble than you, and an imperial military officer. That’s enough to blackmail, disrespect, and …… betrayal ……. I don’t like ………… this kind of thing because it feels like I’m using my power as a shield, but I have no choice.”

　Thus, the matches were suspended and the actual battle to kill between me and Christophe was to begin. Marie, in her position as lieutenant general, must have realized that she could not let Christophe continue his acts of treachery any longer. She did not seem to stop me.

“Die, you blind, incompetent bastard.”

“Your unfounded confidence will be the cause of your falling off your feet, rebel Christophe.”

　This match was supposed to be a test of the results of a year of training, but it turned out to be like this. I’m sorry to hear that, but for some reason, the first battle I’ve had against a person in a long time started without me knowing what to expect.
