Chapter 214.2

Right now, Im receiving the effects of

from the students on the ground, and am converting their feelings into magic power using

. (Ledriano)

If they didnt do something about that dragon variant, everybody would die.

Thanks to all of them sharing that same sentiment, Ledrianos magic power increased, allowing him to create a barrier that could barely resist the dragons attack.

Once I transfer these emotions to you, please cast the

spell. If all goes well, you will be able to successfully perform

. (Ledraino)

Ledraino could only hold off the dragon fang for a few seconds without the power of

.

Even if Emilia knew the spell formula for

, she had never succeeded in casting it.

But either way, this was a race against time.

They had no choice but to bet everything on the next few seconds.

I and the Hero Academy students (Emilia)

Uniting your emotions with others.

It was easier said than done.

Dont worry. It may be a strange thing to say, but know that were as afraid as you are. (Ledriano)

Ledriano smiled a bit.

Even though we were called Heroes, we didnt even have the slightest bit of courage to back it up. New teachers would keep coming and going one after another. We never even bothered to listen to you from the beginning, thinking that you would also leave us soon anyway (Ledriano)

Ledriano removed one hand from his holy sword and extended it towards Emilia.

But you actually risked yourself to save us, so we would like to trust you just this once. If phonies like us hold even a tiny bit of courage as well, then we have to muster it up (Ledriano)

Emilia looked at his hand with fear in her eyes.

Right before she was about to make up her mind, both of Heines holy swords snapped with a dull cracking sound.

HURRY UP!!! Theres no other choice, right?! If we survive this, well take all your cla.s.ses and everything else seriously! (Heine)

Emilia grabbed Ledrianos hand and shouted as loud as she could.

It was directed at them, and all the Hero Academy students who were connected to them

Please! Please give me another chance to be your teacher! I will prove to everybody that none of you is tras.h.!.+ (Emilia)

The Bell of Thoughts that Emilia had around her neck was s.h.i.+ning brightly.

It was a magic tool that amplified the power of feelings.

At that moment, the feelings of all the students were gathered to Emilias

via Ledriano, and were further amplified by the Bell of Thoughts.

She immediately drew the magic circle for

. Emilia showed her determination on her face, put all her strength into her legs, and jumped into the dragons throat with great momentum.

was a barrier of sound. She probably deduced that the sound would be more resonant and more effective inside the dragons body.

That was a fact. However, dragons devoured their prey down to their source.

Even with her curse, she couldnt be reincarnated if she was digested by the dragons stomach.

Would she disappear first, or would the dragon be sealed?

Her life and death depended on her and their feelings.

I thought I had finally found it.

Because I kept running away, because I kept making mistakes

I thought I might be able to understand their feelings better than anyone else.

Im shallow, foolish, and worthless. But

Thats why I understand their pain so well.

Their suffering. Their sadness.

Their pride.

Im painfully aware of it all.

I cant do something as ambitious as leading them, but

I still hope I can walk alongside them.

Carrying this great sin on my shoulders with a pinch of courage step by step

Straight ahead

So please

! (Emilia)

A magic thread emerged from the magic circle Emilia had drawn.

It split into countless threads, and bound the dragon variants organs.

Every time it tried to move its body, and every time its organs reacted, a loud sound rang out from the magic thread, sealing the dragons magic power from within.

Emilia felt a tremor inside the dragons body.

Having lost its ability to fly, the monster fell to the ground.

Feeling the falls acceleration throughout her body, she kept her eyes tightly closed.

Even though she was inside the dragons body, she still felt the impact of the fall throughout her body, accompanied with a roaring noise.

Gahaah! (Emilia)

The pain she felt was indescribably intense, and she coughed up blood.

But she was alive.

The light of

was gently enveloping her to protect her.

Emilia remained still.

She saw no sign of the dragon moving.

Its stomach, which was supposed to digest her source, had fallen utterly silent due to the

threads stretched inside its body.

Emilia lifted herself up and rose up from the dragons body using the

spell.

However, she reached a dead end. The dragons mouth was tightly shut. No matter how hard she tried to pry it open, it showed no sign of opening up.

At that moment, she heard a pounding sound, like someone was. .h.i.tting the dragon from the outside.

f.u.c.k! Dammit! Open up! Open your mouth! You lousy little! (Raos)

What the h.e.l.l?! That! Show-off! She better not! Die on us! Id never be able to sleep again! (Heine)

Hey, Ledriano! Shes still alive, right?! Shes not dead yet, right?!! (Raos)

No, of course not! The dragons body functions have stopped! We can definitely save her! Definitely! (Ledriano)

A broken holy sword slightly entered the closed mouth.

Hey! Lend us a hand too! Were gonna pry it open, together! (Raos)

Using that small gap as a handhold, the students all pried open the dragons mouth.

Seh saw a light. A slight glimpse of the outside scenery was reflected in Emilias eyes.

Then, when there was a gap just wide enough for a person to enter, she saw the faces of the three heroes.

Emilia! (The trio)

Their uniforms were in tatters, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Emilia slowly stepped out through the gap.

What the h.e.l.l, you had us worried for nothing (Raos)

Honestly Talk about a false alarm (Heine)

As Heine and Raos kept talking in mockery while furiously wiping away their tears, Emilia reached out to them and hugged them.

H-Hey! The heck?! (Raos)

You dont have to (Heine)

They tried to shake her off, but when they saw the tears streaming down her face, they gave up and let her hug them.

Youre all so silly Theres no way I would die and leave my helpless students behind (Emilia)

Ledriano readjusted his broken gla.s.ses.

Heine and Raos smiled a bit, and the other Hero Academy students cheered and rushed their way.
