Shadow Monarch: Heroines Could Hear My Thoughts?!

Chapter 127- Magic Class And Unexpected Outcome (Part 1)

Rin stood silent for a while, his mind was contemplating what Emilia had said. It was indeed that wars destroy and never build and it's also true that their grudge and their hatred could be born out of the endless chain of vengeance each race is conducting on the other.

The process was so simple yet could never be cut off: I kill someone dear to you, you get angry and try to seek revenge then you end up killing my loved ones so I seek revenge too. It's a chain of events that can't be stopped unless one party completely erases the other from the face of the world. That's when it all stops.

However, the bugging feeling inside Rin's heart was still there just telling him that something was off, that some parts of this supposedly epic story of how humans defeated evil and saved the world do not make any sense at all.

'History is written by the victorious' is a quote he firmly believed in. No matter how glorified or great a party may sound, it was all because they had the right to write the pages of history however they wanted. The losing side can't change that fact and end up forgotten in the abyss of memories or become banished by everyone.

Humans aren't angels, they also have their dark sides and their corrupted hearts. They are also as sinful as demons and can be even more of an evil power than they are.

But, even with all of that, he still didn't have concrete proof that this was indeed the case and even if he had it, what can he do when he was still not strong enough? Rin wasn't some kind of hero of light that will be able to stop this war and bring peace neither was this a fairy tale. Not everyone is right and not everyone is wrong, it's just a matter of interest.

'Tsk, what a messy situation. I can't even distinguish right from wrong.' He rubbed his head in confusion.

Hearing that, Emilia's face calmed down a little bit and then she said in a softer tone than before.

"You don't need to fill your head with this matter, Rin. It will only waste your time. Just keep focusing on what matters the most for you right now and that's to gain power. Leave this to when you can actually do something about it, then you can make a choice."

"I understand… Rin thought as he gave Kaisa's dead body one last glance."

"You can take the corpse if you want, and if you have enough space in your spatial ring for it," Emilia said as she guessed what he was thinking about.

"Well, I will do that."

After putting the corpse in his inventory, Emilia used the key to make them leave the custom dungeon. The two were instantly back inside the white room.

Rin then silently walked out of the place with Emilia in tow. Neither of them said anything to the other.

'He's still a child. Understanding what you want to believe is a hard thing yet he has to deal with it now, on his own.' Emilia's face was calm but she was feeling slightly clueless at this moment.

On one side, there is what she believes in and that's the fact that humans are the ones in the right here and that demons deserver what became of them. But, on the other hand, she can't refute any of Rin's words completely. She isn't dumb, she knows that history can be altered and the truth can be hidden, it's not that hard for humans to be the evil ones in this.

Rubbing her temples, Emilia stopped thinking about this matter, it was too much of a headache to enter this moral dilemma and end up even more confused. Even her belief was wavering because of it.

'Let fate decide what could be the truth.'

Time passed and the next day came, during that time, Rin merely went back home and slept like a log until sunrise. He hadn't slept in two days so he was feeling quite exhausted. He didn't even bother with notifying Elise about everything that happened. Hell, he could barely move his numb legs or his numb mind.

When he met Elise in the morning, he told her about everything that happened as they walked toward the Magic curriculum area. He didn't hide anything at all.

Elise also had the same reaction as him when he mentioned Kaisa's matter. She also had her doubts before, but they were now even stronger than before.

But, the matter didn't go any further as they faced a weird problem when they reached the classes area. There, they were stopped by a male student.

"Oh, Miss. Elise… You are as mesmerizing as ever, your beauty can blind even the strongest of eyes and tarnish the purest of souls. Would you accept these flowers?" He said as he bent down on one knee as if he was ready to propose before he pulled out a huge flower bouquet and gave it to her.

'Holy fuck, How was he able to say that with a straight face.' Rin could only tap his face with a sigh. He felt his face contort with second-hand embarrassment.

But, it doesn't seem to be the case for everyone as the group of people standing around him were looking happily at the interaction.

Elise glanced at the flowers and then at the boy then at the flowers again before she started walking away as if she didn't see anything. Her face never changed throughout the whole interaction.

"Miss. Elise, please wait! We have chosen these flowers, especially for you. Our club had worked hard to create the bouquet so please accept it?"

"Club?" Rin said confusedly.

The others glared at him before they got rid of their shirts, revealing what kind of clothing they had under them. It was a white t-shirt with a picture of Elise just sitting causally plastered on it.

"Huh?"

"This is our dear Miss. Elise's fan club. We already have over 60 devoted members that glorify Miss. Elise and her ethereal beauty. She's an angel amongst humans."

"What the…" Rin's eyes quickly shifted to Elise and his face paled.

'Yup, they are definitely fucked.' He thought as he sensed Elise's cold aura penetrating the air. Her face looked so dark and ominous that she could make anyone cower with fear. Even her mesmerizing beauty became a sharp weapon that could strip anyone of their confidence with a glance.

"Burn all of that." She ordered with a cold tone.

"But, Mis-"

"Burn it." She ordered.

Then, she walked inside the class without looking back.

'Fuuh, we dodged a huge disaster.'

"You shouldn't use her face on a bunch of shirts without her permission. Besides, how did you even do that?"

"Tsk… We drew it by hand on each and every shirt." The student said with a not-so-pleased look.

"Miss. Elise is our angel. She's the most beautiful, dignified, and elegant person we have ever seen. But, you, Rin Silvereye, you aren't allowed to stay by her side."

However, before they could spit out insults at him, another group of people barged into the conversation. While the other group was mainly composed of male students with some female students here and there, this one was the exact opposite of that as it was mostly made up of girls.

They surrounded Rin and looked at the other group disdainfully.

"How dare you treat master. RIn like this?! You are all a bunch of morons?"

"Master Rin?" He muttered in clear confusion as he looked around him. All the girls were clearly trying to defend him and he had a bad hunch about that.

But, before he could even try to shake his thoughts away, what he feared turned out to be the truth.

"We, Rin SIlvereye followers can't allow for our master's name to be insulted. Master Rin, don't worry, we will protect you."

"Wait, wait, wait… What do you mean Master Rin? I'm no one's master…" He denied their approaches nervously. Being surrounded by this many girls as they were awfully close to him wasn't the most pleasant experience particularly. It could make anyone nervous. One or two were no problem for Rin, but when the number exceeds 55 girls, it becomes a problem.

"Master Rin is master Rin. Your fan club shall not accept any possible harassment of you."

"Yes!"

"We love you, Master!"

"Master Rin is so handsome, kyaaaaa!!!"

"Master Rin, can I hug you please!"

"I'm wet!!"

All kinds of excited cheers echoed in the hallway as Rin was stuck in between all of them, trying to find a way out.

'I'm drowning…' He thought as he pushed his way through the waves of girls while making sure he didn't hurt anyone. He could easily break their bones if he pushed or squeezed too hard.

"Now, now, what is going on here?~"
