Chapter 02 - A Certain Tragic Scene
Is this a dream about that soldier?
Before Udin’s eyes, there is a lot of scene that suddenly appear in front of him.
At first, Udin see the scenery changed into a corridor where the boy looked towards the outside of the window. In there he saw a silver-haired girl walking cheerfully with two men who walked exactly 2 to 3 steps behind her.
*Thump* *Thump* * Thump*
What is this? why suddenly my chest was pounding very fast like this?
Before he realized it, his chest was beating very fast. the pounding never stopped as hard as he held it. the more he saw the smile of the silver haired girl, the faster his chest pounded.
So Cute…
[What if… at that time I don’t see her smiling face]
When Udin thought that the silver-haired girl was very cute, once again he heard a soft voice full of regret. a voice that seemed to ask him what kind of future would wait for the boy if he never saw that sweet smile before him.
after the sound slowly disappeared, this time the scene changed again. at this moment he saw a scene where the silver-haired girl was sitting alone by the lake. his eyes slightly reddened, tears dripping on his smooth cheeks. his small mouth seemed to shout something that could not be heard by udin. however, at the same place Udin also saw the figure of a boy hiding behind a tree. the boy could only be silent facing the sky while hearing all the words from the silver-haired girl who was crying beside the lake. Silent ... without doing anything as if he realized that there was nothing he could do, just fell silent until a red-haired boy approached the silver-haired girl who was crying and comforting him.
[What if… at that times I’m Talk with her]
Once again he heard a voice of regret. currently in front of Udin, the silver-haired girl smiled after the red-haired boy made various funny faces to entertain the girl who was crying a while ago. seeing this udin felt something stinging on his chest. he does not really understand what he feels, but he believes this is what is called a feeling of jealousy.
Wait… is it not the protagonist in the movie? then the silver haired girl is the princess?
Again, the scene before udin changed. this time he saw a boy who struggled to do something but like being betrayed by fate, whatever he did ... it didn't change anything. no matter how much he learns, he can never get high exam scores, not only that in the practice of magic, his efforts are always covered with the results of red-haired boys. the boy can only try and try again. in the morning he trained physically before anyone, during the day he practice magic longer than the others. in the afternoon he took classes on sword technique and in the evening he studied the theory in the guidebook. none of the results of his efforts were appreciated by others. even the highest achievement was only ranked 55 out of a total of 200 people enrolled in the academy in his generation. but the boy never gave up. as if feeling what the boy felt, a sentence suddenly appeared in Udin's mind before he realized it.
I will do whatever I can so that I can stand next to her. standing on equal status.
like someone who has lost his mind, the boy tries and keeps trying to achieve the goals he has set. no matter what others think about him, he keeps trying and trying. but, once again he felt betrayed. no matter what he does there will always be a sky above the sky. whether it's the election of candidates to represent the class in inter-class battles or become one of the ten strongest members of the academy. the distance the boy felt was getting away more and more especially when the silver-haired girl raised his healing ability and managed to establish a contract with one of the goddesses of the water ruler. the boy gradually began to think that the effort he had done was meaningless before extraordinary talent. he began to think about crying ... but he could not do it because when that happened he felt that at that moment he would truly be betrayed by his own efforts.
[What if… at that time I Try my hardest to reach her]

Once again he heard a regretful voice whispering in his ear. this time the voice sounded lower. as if conveying all the feelings he went through ... made Udin's chest feel tight. never once did he think he would feel this feeling. looking back, he felt all the things he did by playing with the feelings of all the women he approached made him embarrassed. shame ... shame on what the boy has done before him. loyal and ready to do anything for someone he likes. whether it is as difficult as what he feels, the boy never gives up to reach his goal. Even though no one appreciates his efforts, he still does not give up while hoping that one day his feelings will be conveyed.
But ... immediately the scene before Udin changed drastically. this time he saw a battle full of blood. unmistakably what he saw today was the ultimate battle of the film he witnessed before he slept. a battle where all hope rests on powerful forces representing humans, hero's strongest party. one different thing that was highlighted this time was not the heroes who fought against the demon king and the black dragon nor the battle that showed the hero against angels but rather towards a boy who ran as hard as he could through the forest without caring about the surroundings.
His face and body were covered in blood. the pain that came from his blue feet due to dislocations was ignored. if you notice, the boy's left hand is no longer in place. he bit down his lips with all his strength to resist the pain he felt. but there is one oddity that Udin feel. the boy seemed to be talking to someone but Udin did not see anyone near the boy. whoever the boy was talking to but immediately his face changed drastically and he looked panicked. the boy ran while looking at the conditions around him but the reflection of his eyes was not the battlefield but the figure of a silver-haired girl who was now grown up lying in the battlefield surrounded by guards and magic users who were experts in healing methods.
if my memory was correct, this was a scene just before the boy suddenly came out of group that march to protect the princess and was killed by magic.
As if answering udin's guess, the next scene was what he had previously suspected. the scene where the boy was killed by magic which accidentally shot right about his body. but this is where an irregularity occurs. if previously he laughed at this scene because it looked very stupid considering a soldier suddenly escaped from a battle, but after he looked back, the soldier was not out of formation with such superficial reasons. if you pay close attention, the soldier appears from the right side of the line and suddenly runs to the left side whereas if he wants to escape to get out the line isn't it easier if through the side where the soldier is located? but what happens if he has a strong reason to come out through the opposite side ... for example there are powerful monsters or something more important than monsters? but there is still a possibility if he just runs away because of cowardice. but when viewed from the current situation, the last guess is the most unlikely thing.
When udin thought hard, he heard a voice ... but different from before this time it was not a voice full of regret in it but the opposite thing. the voice he heard seemed to be satisfied with what he had done.
[At least this time I have succeeded in doing things I have never done ... that is protecting the girl I like.]
Protect ... the girl you like? Do not tell?!
Udin immediately looked towards where the silver-haired girl was lying and sure enough, had the boy not done that, no one would have realized the fire magic came right towards the silver-haired girl who was unconscious. at that moment Udin also realized one more, the boy was moving even before the fire magic arrived ... in other words he knew it earlier than anyone and the wound he received explained why he did not have the time to tell that to anyone .
Seriously ... how far are you willing to sacrifice your life only for a girl who hasn't even seen you at all? even I doubt that she knows your name.
When udin admired what the boy had done, at the same time he also thought that the boy he admired was very stupid. even to the point he wanted to say there were still many other women out there. Besides that, as long as I saw all the scenes in front of him, he did not find a single thing that could make the boy crazy about the silver-haired girl he liked besides the sweet smile he accidentally saw.
When udin was thinking about this, the scene in front of him changed to the epilogue of the movie. scenes where credit in the film has finished playing. it was a scene where a boy who had succeeded in becoming a hero finally married a silver-haired girl. but not the slightest feeling of happiness was felt because the boy now looked like a doll that had even lost a rope that could move his body.
Wait, is this scene there after the very tragic happy ending is over? I don't think there are scenes like this? the scene where ... the silver-haired girl died just after she finished waving her hand from the castle.
The scene seen by Udin was a continuation that he did not even expect, after the many sacrifices made during the war, in the end there was no happy ending that had been anticipated. after the girl waved her hand, as if losing her support ... the silver-haired girl's head fell to the ground from a height of about a few hundred feet from where she stood. this happened because suddenly a demon-like figure slashed the silver-haired girl's head with her hand right from the back of the girl. not only did the scene end with the destruction of the kingdom due to a light filled with dark energy created by demons that resembled the man. truly a tragic end for a story of which told about heroism.
Before he realized it, the entire scene before him turned to pitch black. but this time it wasn't just sound, he could see a man standing in front of him and asking him,
"What do you think about all of this?"
“Seriously, this is the most tragic end I've ever known”
