The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

Perhaps, living wasn't a blessing but a curse.

At least, that's what Ares believed.

When he closed his eyes, that day resurfaced.

The day his comrades died, his neighbors died, the day women and children screamed in terror.

The horrors of that day continued to haunt Ares' mind.

“…….”

Ares silently put a cigarette between his lips.

He knew it wasn't good for his health.

Otherwise, his throbbing head felt like it would truly shatter.

'Idea, you, in the end……’

Ares quietly closed his eyes.

The bitter taste of the cigarette lingered in his mouth, and a rough breath escaped his lips.

Countless people had died, like the innumerable stars that adorned the sky.

Among them were those whom Idea and Ares had vowed to protect.

The very reason they had endured and survived each day in that hell.

Those people had lost their lives in the war.

And as time passed.

Ironically, even though Ares knew the horrors of war, he was tasked with sending children to the battlefield.

By assuming the role of an instructor at Sytan.

And beside him was someone walking the same path he had.

‘Idea.’

That's why the feelings Ares held for Idea were special.

Because Ares didn't want to lose Idea, not her.

Perhaps that's why.

Ares tried to fulfill all of Idea's wishes, and even though he knew she was walking down the wrong path, he condoned it.

As a result.

‘……She took the Headmaster's hand.’

In truth, Ares had heard the entire conversation between Idea and Adel.

However, he pretended not to hear and walked away calmly.

Why had he made such a choice?

Even though he knew it wasn't good for Idea.

He couldn't bring himself to stop Idea with his own hands.

He needed someone.

Someone to stop Idea.

And that someone couldn't be him.

Ah.

Ares exhaled cigarette smoke and looked out the window.

Day was already breaking.@@novelbin@@
