"Teacher ......"

Walking into the bedroom of the teacher, Mr. Hawkai, the alchemist of the flames, the first thing I saw was a senior Roy Mastan in a military uniform.

is different from Estes, a transfer student who got Mr. Hawke's residence and family situation by relying on the relationship between the reference room,

Roy Mastan is an old student who has been studying with Hawk Ai for a long time.

"Oh, Aisha, ahem, you're here."

Listening to the teacher's cough getting deeper and deeper, Estes knew that his teacher's body was really no longer good. His yellow, emaciated face and yellow spots crawled all over his immature body, tormented by illness.

The breath was faint and the pulse was mixed, which was a sign that the body had completely collapsed.

"Yes teacher, good evening."

At Mr. Hawke, Estes does not use his own big name, but uses his nickname - Aisha, the child of a former deceased doctor couple who fell from the north to the capital.

Her parents bought a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the capital for the young and helpless Aisha.

It is Estes' second home in the capital.

It is the place where I have lived for the longest time outside of the barracks.

Since you are determined to learn alchemy, it is very important to have a suitable identity that is easy for the teacher to teach.

Estes put a lot of thought into this.

Judging from the data, Mr. Hawk Ai is an eccentric and somewhat incompatible with the system, a good alchemist, who has dedicated his life to alchemy to making people live happily, and resents the use of his own art in war.

Therefore, Estes knew that his status as a colonel officer was not suitable.

"It's really early for the pharmacy to close today. Usually you come after eight o'clock. ”

When he first came in, Estes also heard his brother Mastan always reprimanding him, as if to say that he had joined the army and had become a disciple who had disappointed him.

Compared with Mastan, the attitude towards Aisha, an orphan who came from a family of doctors and lived in poverty, was much better

"Yes, teacher, the pharmacy closed early today, and the boss asked me to come back early."

The Personnel and Information Division is nominally under the jurisdiction of Estes, because in the past two years, he has done a lot of good things in the Central Archive and improved the lives of the staff of the Archive, and Estes's reputation has always been very high, so it is not difficult to ask his subordinate department to create a fake identity by himself.

As for the pharmacy, it is a small pharmacy located in the south of the city that has been taken down by Estes, and the manager is hired by Estes for money, and he doesn't know Estes, but he only knows that the clerk named 'Aisha' is a person hired by the owner and has a relationship with the owner.

Although Estes's reputation in Saibei has been popular for a while, there has been no movement in the past two years, and it has long been forgotten.

There is nothing wrong with identity. It was on the occasion of volunteering to treat the poor that he came into contact with the seriously ill teacher Hawk Ai, and was appreciated by him for his superhuman talent in alchemy.

"Although it's a little early today, let's listen to the doctor first."

With that, Aisha took out her stethoscope and notebook from the medical kit to observe and record the teacher's condition

"Every day, you bother you to come and see me...... I'm really bothering you. ”

The voice was very weak, obviously his body had already been hollowed out by the disease, and in the dim light, he seemed to be weak and could fall down at any time

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Although the teacher's body has some problems, it is not to the point where it is. ”

For medical skills and medicine, Estes now has a lot of understanding and practical experience.

Because in the past two years, in order to treat the black pupil and get rid of drug addiction, adjust the body, almost two days a week, after work, Estes and the red pupil accompanied the black pupil to Dr. Marco to see a doctor.

Dr. Marco is a national alchemist and a physician who works on the use of alchemy to treat human ailments, and is a half-baked alchemist with a strong intellectual curiosity.

In order to learn more knowledge and also for his subordinate Black Hitomi, Estes took the initiative to learn a lot of medical knowledge and received guidance from Dr. Marr

"It's rare for a superior like you to learn alchemy and medicine for the sake of his subordinates."

That's Dr. Marr's fair assessment of Estes

If you really want to say that Estes is not just for the black pupil, she also has some ideas of her own.

"Today's pulse and blood pressure are not bad, relatively stable. According to the last prescription, I will take it twice a day and insist on taking it for three months, so there will be no problem. ”

"Thank you, Aisha, these medicines are indeed very effective, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"

Huo Keai is an alchemist, or the best kind, so he can naturally know that the medicine he takes is good or bad, and from the perspective of the composition of the medicine, the medicine that Aisha brings to himself every day is a very expensive medicine.

"What are you talking about, teacher~ It's just a general drug~ You think too much~"

The alchemy that Estes brought to Hawk Ai was an alchemy that he had spent a lot of money to have Dr. Marr specially concoct for the teacher's condition, and the price was naturally expensive.

Fortunately, Estes had brought back a lot of treasures when she came back from the north, and although she didn't want to bring them at first, she was persuaded by the Black Lily to bring them back.

As a military country, the colonel's salary is very considerable, in terms of income, he is a real high-income earner, Estes usually does not need to spend any money, and he does not like to pay attention to food and housing, and he does not like to pay attention to saving some medicine for the teacher.

"Teacher, although you may think that I am a little nagging, there are some things I still have to say."

And when Estes was diagnosing and seeing Teacher Hawke, Mastan, who had been trying to help but couldn't do anything, finally spoke

"It shouldn't be that an excellent alchemist like a teacher lives in such poverty! Why don't you go and get the national alchemist qualification, teacher? ”

"Shut up."

"As long as you qualify, the teacher will have the funds to continue your research and improve your life, and your current standard of living is completely disproportionate to your academic achievements, which is not right!"

"Shut up! cough cough cough !! ”

As if he was too excited, Mr. Hawk Ai suddenly widened his eyes and coughed up a large pool of blood.

"Senior! Enough is please! ”

Esdes, who has been in the center for two years and has been grinding by the bench and Wen Jiàn for two years, has also been somewhat bent.

In order to get information and return to the battlefield as soon as possible, Estes, who has been with ordinary colleagues normally for two years, already knows when to say what to say and what not to say.

It's not easy for a teacher to survive for a while.

Compared with Mastan, who is a complete layman in medicine, Estes, who has been smoked by Dr. Marr for two years, is already half a qualified rookie doctor.

"The army protects the country from aggression...... Protecting people from foreign slavery...... I've heard enough of these words. The national alchemist is the minion of the state, and he is already very different from the researcher of alchemy, so I will not take the test...... No. ”

Fortunately, there is Estes's careful care in the past year or so and the medicine prepared by Dr. Marr, otherwise with this pool of blood, Mr. Hawk Ai would not have escaped the fate of death.

"The road ahead is all your own choice, and I know how long I can live."

"Teacher, please don't say that, you can't give up the treatment, your research, your scholarship is not finished, this is a loss for the people."

Estes knew that for this man who had devoted his life to research, his career was his life, and if he wanted this teacher who had taught him so much knowledge to live longer, then it would never be possible to move the people out without saying so.

"There is no need for my life and time...... My Research ...... The study of the strongest alchemy...... I'm done. ”

“？！” *2

Hearing the teacher's sudden words, both Mastan and Estes were shocked

"That's the strongest flame alchemy, whether it's used for the benefit of the people or the killing weapon that ruins the lives of the people depends entirely on how the user uses it, my research has been completed, my life's work...... My life has come to a successful end. ”

'Done?' When did it happen? ’

Although Estes has learned a lot in more than a year, there are really good things he still wants to learn.

Why become an alchemist? Why become a national alchemist?

In the battle with Selim, Estes got the answer.

Want to get more power, want to defeat Selim, want to defeat him! From the front! Defeat him with dignity!

To do this, Estes had to improve his alchemy, which was somewhat lethal, the kind of brutal, murderous, brutal power that could destroy a qiē, a power that belonged to him.

To this end, she selected three candidates for teaching from the profile.

His own alchemy enlightenment teacher, Major Kimbrie, and Isaac, an ice alchemist who uses ice art similar to himself.

and Mr. Hawke, who is known as the strongest alchemist.

Icestes, the technique of Campbrie, has known since he was a child that the launch relies on the ground, although the power is good but the restriction is large, Isaac's ice skills are superb but the power is too small, and the power of careful investigation is not as powerful as the ice skills he realized in the Bligoz Snow Mountain.

Only Hawk Ai's Flame Art is the best thing for him.

"Both of you are my proud disciples, I have systematically handed over the basic theoretical knowledge of alchemists to you, all my research results are in my daughter Lisa, and the rest is up to you."

"Teacher ......"

"Go out, all of you, I'm tired, I've already told my daughter about researching materials. You can just go find her. ”

After saying that, Mr. Hawk Ai lay down tiredly, although the medicine brought by Estes allowed his life to be extended, but his foundation was too poor to be able to transfer the medicine back.

"Then I will take my leave, teacher."

"Farewell."

Although he could see that Mastan had something else to say, Estes pulled down his military uniform and hinted that he should not talk too much, if he wanted the teacher to live a little longer.

………………

"Aisha, how is my father's illness?"

Watching Estes come out of the house with the medicine box and Mastan, Lisa comes over to inquire about her father's condition

This has almost become the norm, and every time Estes sees the teacher, Lisa asks about it.

"Fortunately, it didn't deteriorate."

That is, when he was with Lisa, Estes dared to tell the teacher's illness

"Really? Still not getting better? ”

Although she knew that her father's illness was three parts physical and seven parts spirit, Lisa still hoped that her father would recover, even if the hope was very slim.

"Don't worry too much, although there is no improvement yet, but at least the deterioration of the condition has been contained, as long as you are careful not to irritate him again......"

As he spoke, Estes glanced at the stunned young Mastan beside him.

Although he was much older than Estes, it was clear that Warrant Officer Mastan had learned the rules at the non-commissioned officer school.

Even Estes, a murderous fellow, knew that he couldn't say anything that irritated a patient at his bedside, and he still said those things in front of his teacher

"If the teacher really has something wrong, then someone must have said something that made the teacher angry, the teacher is now suffering from pulmonary heart disease, and he can't be angry, that's going to kill someone, you should know very well what I mean, right? Warrant Officer Roy Mastein?! ”

"Ming...... Got it. ”

Somehow, Mastan involuntarily gave Estes a military salute. Although even he didn't know why, he just looked at Aisha, who had always been very concerned about the teacher and very considerate to Lisa, suddenly showed such demonic eyes and subconsciously respected.

'Why does it suddenly feel like Aisha has become an officer?' ’

This is the feeling that Mastan suddenly felt

At about the same time that Mastan and Estes left the Hawk Eyre Mansion, a middle-aged man with a black cloak who had almost rubbed shoulders with them walked into the Hawk Eyre Mansion with a suitcase.

"Hello, may I ask what you are ......"

"Excuse me, is Mr. Hawk at home?"

"Yes, father is at home, may I ask if you are ......"

"My name is Marko, and I am an old friend of your father, and I came today to hear that a friend I haven't seen for many years is sick and came to visit."

――――――――――

"It's been a long time, Hawk Ai, haven't you seen you for five years?"

"Ah, it's Marco, yes, it's been five years"

"I haven't seen you for a few years, you're a lot haggard, and your health doesn't seem to be doing well."

How could Marco, who was a good doctor, not understand the meaning of Hawk Ai's sallow face

"Ah, the research is done, and life loses its meaning. It's not interesting to be alive anymore. ”

"Don't say that, there are always things that people can do and need to do as long as they live,"

"It's like what you said, Marko. That is, you, how naïve you are at such an age. ”

"Isn't it? So who were the two young men who just went out? Isn't it your student? ”

"I just taught them the basics of being an alchemist, and the path is their own choice, and it has nothing to do with me."

"After all these years, you still haven't ...... at all?!"

Suddenly, Marco saw the medicine on Hawk Ai's bedside, that medicine, that medicine Marco would never be mistaken.

It was prescribed by him for Colonel Estes, and he said it was a cure for his teacher

"Hockai, the medicine on your bedside is from...... Where did it come from? ”

"That? It was my student Aisha who prescribed me the medicine, and it was a good child. ”

"Is it long blue hair? Sixteen or seventeen years old, with blue eyes? ”

"Did you see Aisha?"

"You mean Colonel Estes? …… Yes! I said, why is it so familiar? Isn't that Colonel Estes?! ”

At this time, Marco remembered that the girl he saw when he entered the door was not Estes, who had accompanied his men all day to see a doctor?

"You...... You, who did you just say?! ”

Suddenly, Mr. Huo Keai jumped up directly from the bed, his face flushed, his eyes bloodshot, and his voice and body trembled.

"The head of the Central Archives...... Captain of the Bligoz Chasseur, Colonel Estes, you ...... Never knew the name of your student? ”

He regretted saying it, and looking at his old friend's angry expression, Marco suddenly felt as if he had done something very stupid.

"Estes...... Estes?! It's the same Estes who provoked the civil strife in Draguma two years ago when he slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Draguma people in Sebei?! ”

Hawk Ai felt something suddenly block in his chest, and his throat was a little sweet, and he couldn't breathe.

"Well...... yes...... That's it...... Ested ......"

"Ah!!! Poof! ”

But before Marco could finish vaguely, the flushed Hawk Ai suddenly had a muscle spasm in his face, and the whole person first screamed fiercely, and then suddenly arched a mouthful of red blood gushing out of his mouth.

"Hawk Ai?!"

Without any buffer, Hawk Ai, who spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell off the bed like an ear of wheat from a knife, and hit his head the foot of the bed, and the blood flowed.

"Hawk Ai! Tillman! Cheer up some! Cheer up some! ”

Seeing his old friend fall down and breathe less and more out, Marco regretted it very much, and he regretted why he was talking so much about Estes.

He already had a general idea of the situation now.

But now this qiē is meaningless in the face of the death of an old friend.

"Marco...... Marco...... Help me...... Help me ......."

Hawk Ai, who fell in Marco's arms, covered in blood, pale face, trembling hands, holding the hand of his old friend and not letting go.

"Sue my daughter, sue her, you can't hand over the results of your research to Estes, to that demon! …… Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! ”

"Hawk Ai, stop talking! You're going to die! ”

"Nope! You're going to help me...... Please...... The results of my research ...... Be...... It is researched for the happiness of the people, and I cannot let my results become a murderous tool for executioners......"

As he spoke, the blood in his mouth was still gushing out, and it wouldn't be long before he died, time, his time was running out.

"Estes...... Estes ...... A cruel madman who enjoys killing...... She...... Too smart...... Talent is too high...... The mind is too mature...... Too powerful...... Such a person...... Such a murderous executioner will not use my technology for the benefit of humanity...... Her one qiē purpose...... It's all just for destruction! ”

"Hawk ......"

Marco regretted it very much, he regretted that he was here, he regretted that he was here, he regretted that he had killed his friend by talking about it

"Please...... Promise me...... I want my research back...... My results...... Can't turn into a murderer...... work..."

Before he finished speaking, Hawk Ai, the fine alchemist, had died of blood loss.

"Promise you, I promise you, old friend."

"Father, I heard you just ...... Father?! ”

Less than half a minute after the elder Hawk Ai had just taken his last breath, young Lisa came in and saw her father, who had been hit the head, clutching his hands and collar, covered in his father's blood, in a panic......

Murderer.
