The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter - Chapter 345

End – Spring Day

Petals of snow fluttered about leisurely.

The pure blue sky was reflected on the white snow piled in the corner of the Butterfly Garden.

I pushed my body into the snowdrift as if I was lying down on a bed. It was as cozy as lying in bed.

This is where I started my training.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here.

I used to organize my thoughts here.

I recently discovered something.

The range of my ability, [Clairvoyance], has expanded to another dimension.

As time passed, my body naturally reached a ridiculous state as it adapted to my divine power.

There were several things I realized after reaching my current state.

For example.

I learned that before the Evil God Nephilim gained the power of a god, there were more things prepared in this world besides what Stella had told me.

Humans with names inspired by fairy tale characters. Demons with names mentioned in myths from other dimensions. Their birth

Their fates flowed for the plan called , and such traces were left behind. The reason for all this was to defeat the Evil God.

These were elements familiar and fascinating to Earthlings.

Recently, I spoke to the demon in the Lake of Ice, the commandment of Lucifer. It was a simple task for me, who possessed divine power, even though it was far away.

Lucifer said that he had gained enlightenment one day, expelling his dark magic and being reborn as a new being. He was no longer a demon.

Thanks to that, he was still alive and well even though the Evil God had been destroyed, and he maintained his position as the master of the Lake of Ice.

I found out belatedly that Lucifer had protected people and returned to the Lake of Ice when the end began.

I was truly grateful.

Märchen Academy First Campus was normalized.

Starting next year, students will be able to apply to either the First or Second Campus, and there will be no qualitative difference in education.

As such, the number of new students will double.

The graduation ceremony was decided to be held at the First Campus, reflecting the opinions of the exemplary graduates. There were many more memories there.

I liked this place too.

I took a deep breath of the cold air and exhaled, releasing a white breath.

After achieving a hazy goal, it is natural to be followed by leisurely worries.

So these days, I have two concerns.

How will I live in the future?

What do I want to do?

It’s enough to spend time playing around once in a while. It’s not something I’m used to.

I didn’t want to get used to it.

“Then…”

I finished thinking.

I see. I can organize my thoughts well when I come here.

I got up from my seat.

······

The gentle breath of spring grazed my skin.

Bright flowers welcomed the spring, and colorful petals fluttered in the spring breeze like pieces of colored paper.

Märchen Academy First Campus, which had its restoration work completed a while ago, had become almost new, surpassing its previous appearance. It was very neat.

I received my graduation gown at Orphin Hall. The maids dressed me in my graduation gown with their own hands and put a mortarboard on my head.

I removed the brooch symbolizing my grade from my tie and put it in my pocket.

It was a symbolic tradition to remove the brooch during the graduation ceremony.

“Oh.”

It’s high-quality fabric. The graduation gown boasted a very smooth texture.

I looked at myself in the full-length mirror.

The graduation gown, which was basically navy blue with a gold border, fluttered as I moved.

I headed to the academy square to attend the graduation ceremony, and I saw students dressed in graduation gowns.

Chatter. Laughter filled the square.

It was natural to smile when finishing a long journey that made you look forward to and worry about the days to come.

“Isaac!”

Kaya ran towards me with a smile, and Luce followed her.

The two people in my grade were also dressed in the same graduation gowns as me.

Without realizing it, a laugh escaped me. Kaya and Luce in their graduation robes were so cute.

As the graduation ceremony began, the students in their graduation robes stood in an orderly fashion in the square, each according to their faculty.

Many people, such as the graduates’ families, acquaintances, and friends, held bouquets and watched the graduation ceremony from outside the square.

“The Märchen Academy graduation ceremony will now commence.”

The emcee on the stage spoke into a megaphone.

After several ceremonies, the emcee called my name.

“Next, we will have the valedictorian speech. Valedictorian Isaac. Please come forward.”

As the valedictorian, I went up to the stage and headed towards the podium.

The emcee stepped aside, and I took his place.

I took the megaphone that the emcee handed me.

Then, there was silence.

I looked at the graduates gathered in the square. They were all staring at me.

Valedictorian speech.

The faculty selects outstanding students and chooses one of them to be the valedictorian. I was chosen for this term.

I had prepared a formal speech, but when I stood here and looked at the students, many thoughts crossed my mind.

So, I decided to just say whatever came to mind.

“Good afternoon, graduates. I am Isaac, the valedictorian of the Department of Magical Studies.”

I bowed my head in greeting.

“On this momentous day when we all graduate together, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Märchen Academy for giving me the honor of standing here.”

Politely.

With a kind smile.

“Actually…as you all know, I had a different purpose for attending Märchen Academy. I may be the most out of place person here.”

Several graduates shook their heads and expressed their disagreement.

“…Ah, well, I’m glad.”

The graduates laughed when I lightened the mood.

I took a deep breath.

Considering my current position, I wouldn’t be able to get any sympathy from them.

So I decided.

I decided to tell the graduates the story that I wanted to tell myself.

“You have all been students at Märchen Academy for several years. During that time, I’m sure there have been many moments of joy and many moments of hardship.”

I saw Kaya Astrea with her sparkling eyes and Luce Eltania looking at me with a gentle expression.

“There have probably been many times when things didn’t go smoothly, and you may have even been involved in all sorts of incidents and accidents.”

I saw Ian Fairytale and Amy Holloway with faint smiles on their faces.

“But none of you gave up, and in the end, you all無事にfinished that eventful journey. You have all worked very hard.”

I saw Trista Humphrey looking at me with determined eyes and Matteo Giordano with a serious face.

“Now, let me tell you my story… I didn’t want to have any regrets. Because I had a goal. So I kept running without stopping.”

I saw Rejeta Lionheart with her eyes downcast, Keridna Whiteclock with her eyes wide open, and Ciel Carnedas, who, for some reason, was not sleeping.

“Of course, there were times when I wanted to give up, and there were many times when I lamented my abilities, which were far from my goals. But still, I kept studying and training, telling myself, ‘Let’s keep going.’ Because I would regret it if I didn’t do my best.”

Outside the square, I saw Princess Snow White with tears in her eyes, Saintess Bianca Antora smiling kindly, and Priestess Miya listening to my speech.

Abel Carnedas nodded, and Roanna Shelton stood next to him.

Mitchell with his red cape turned upside down.

Aria Lilias with her emotionless face and Elena Woodline with her arms crossed and a smile on her face.

“In the end, I achieved my goal. Thanks to that, I am able to stand here today.”

I saw Eve Roppenheim, Dorothy Heartnova, and Alice Carroll looking at me lovingly with bouquets in their hands.

Eve Roppenheim and Dorothy Heartnova, holding bouquets and looking at me affectionately, and Alice Carroll appeared.

“During the process of running without rest, many people really helped me and pushed me forward. Right now, I am called a hero who protected humanity, but those of you who helped me were my heroes. I can only express my deepest gratitude to everyone from the bottom of my heart.”

Several disguised emperors and world leaders could be seen outside the square.

“Graduates. The end is soon a new beginning. You will now graduate from the academy and step into society. The Märchen Academy diploma will be of great help to you. It is the result of all of you running diligently and striving to achieve it.”

I slowly lowered my eyes.

“Even so, life will not always go as you wish. There will be many times when you will face unexpected difficulties. However, if you do not give up, you will come to know as you live that every moment you have run has had meaning. For example, the experience you have gained in order to obtain the Märchen Academy diploma. The achievements and failures you will experience in the future. There is meaning in every experience.”

I looked at the graduates again and smiled brightly.

“Graduates who have run with me, seniors and juniors, professors who have provided good lessons, knights who have fought hard to protect the academy, and everyone else involved in the academy, I sincerely express my deepest gratitude to you all. Congratulations to all of you on your graduation. This concludes my speech as the graduate representative. Thank you.”

As I bowed my head to finish my greeting, applause erupted.

The remaining ceremonies continued, and like Dorothy last year, I recited the oath and returned to my seat.

Once the graduation ceremony was over, the graduates took pictures or spent time laughing and chatting.

“President, my sister is here!”

“Congratulations on graduating, kid.”

“Congratulations on graduating, Isaac-senpai…!”

Dorothy and Alice, and for some reason a tearful White, approached and handed me bouquets.

Dorothy and Alice were in their uniforms.

“Thank you all. But why are Dorothy-senpai and Alice in their uniforms…?”

“Because it’s your graduation day, kid. We wanted to take pictures in our uniforms. It’s like a perfect match.”

Alice smiled kindly.

“Why, President? Do I look bad in my uniform, sis?”

“You’re an idiot.”

“I wasn’t asking you, demon.”

Dorothy snapped at Luce. Luce stuck out her tongue and went, “Meh.”

Those two have really become close…

Anyway, when I told Dorothy and Alice that they looked good, they were both happy.

“Isaac… This is…”

“Oh, sis. Thank you for coming.”

Eve approached me cautiously. She smiled brightly as I received the bouquet she handed me.

She currently lives in Tiefenbach. It must have been a long way to come. I was grateful that she came to see me.

“Your Majesty. Congratulations on graduating, sincerely.”

“Congratulations on graduating, Isaac-senpai!”

The saint, the shrine maiden, and many others approached and handed me bouquets. I thanked them with a smile.

I received so many bouquets that I asked Alice to use her telekinesis to lift them all.

“Isaac-senpai…”

“Why do you keep crying?”

“Because I’m thinking that I won’t see you at the academy anymore… Tears just keep coming out…! Wahhh…!”

“It’s only for a year. You can see me during the vacation.”

“Even so…”

White cried and cried, but when I said, “It’s okay, I’ll come and visit often,” she swallowed her breath and stopped crying.

We took lots of pictures while laughing and cherishing each moment.

As we were walking to another good spot to take pictures, a headwind brought petals that caressed our skin and passed by.

When I suddenly looked up, the clear sky like a brook and the silver sun filled my vision.

I took in the gentle sunlight with my whole face. It was so warm.

At that moment, White suddenly came up with a funny story and started talking about it.

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

It was a spring day.

It was a very happy day.
