The Extra's Academy Survival Guide - Ch. 82 - Season 1 End

[KateZ]

For the WN readers, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did Adele die? I mean, there was no reason to sacrifice herself since the Dragon obviously didn't come. And wasn't the circle in the church where the pope and the saintess were? Wouldn't she meet them there? If she died out of her wounds, wouldn't it be easy to get someone to get her medical attention? It was strange enough for her to be all wounded and nobody trying to help her, I thought that happened only to Ed. Also, Ed coming back wasn't an option, if he didn't get rid of that pendant, the dragon would come and Adele would have to be sacrificed, this time for sure. There is no reason to feel guilty about his choice, if it was for his inability to do better, then it's understandable, but the choice was obvious.

Spoiler

In the WN it was never explicitly said she died the same way she would've died here, you know "sacrificing" herself, after throwing the necklace far away, Him and Clarice ran around to look for Adele just for them to find her dead, and to answer "why did she sacrifice herself when the dragon didn't come, as I said it was never mentioned how she died in the WN she either died to the last cast of that sacrifice circle(She probably assumed ED failed or is going to fail) or died of her injuries "I became a mortal that is able to die".

While this is a spoiler, it's only bad if you were planning to read the WN and after this change in fate anyways the future after this might change A LITTLE or might not change at all because she left and became temporarily unrelated (ie: she will not affect the story just yet until she comes back) to the story anyways, this only made it so

Spoiler

that Adele can get her own path/route later.

, so people complaining about "spoilers" about her

Spoiler

death

is funny.


Also, the hard-hitting reality for ED just changed from

Spoiler

"I failed to save her"

to

Spoiler

"I tried to sacrifice her/I didn't choose to save her"

while not as hard hitting as the former, it definitely does not feel good either, because

Spoiler

While in the former she dies, you can at least say, "I tried to save her but failed." There will be guilt, but also a determination to never let it happen again to someone else. In the latter, "I tried to sacrifice her and she almost died because of it" is also not a good feeling. Even after apologizing and making it up to her, the guilt will never go away.

Wait, did they change the plot? I remember that in the novel Adele dies, and we get a scene where Ed sits alone at the campfire and feels guilty about letting her die, to the extent where he's hallucinating her bloody ghost.

I'm disappointed at the change because I thought it was a very heavy and memorable way to end the arc.

Spoiler: Quote of that scene from the novel (chapter 132)

After sending Clarice off, I sat down alone by the tree next to the campfire.

It’s kind of them to worry. Everyone was anxious, in case I was troubled or hurt.

I adamantly shook my head telling them not to worry. I’m fine. It does me no good to trouble others or to show weakness.

What I need to do right now is ensure that this campfire lasts as long as possible by adding more fuel, poking the fire with a stick, and pre-cooking the meat I had prepared.

I threw in a few more logs, taking deep breaths of the early summer night air.

Then, an unmistakable weight pressed at my back.

There’s no need to look behind.

The sensation of blood trickling down my back is palpable.

Lying on the opposite side of the tree trunk, pressed against my back, was the figure of that troubadour that I’ve seen several times.

Resting her life in peace, she lay there, leaning quietly against me. I braced my back against the weight, and tossed more logs into the fire.

By the rules, she would have died anyway.

I tried to save her because I couldn’t just leave someone facing their death unaided.

There are countless reasons I could give for failing to save her.

The last time I traveled back in time was a rushed attempt. I had to move quickly with each moment to run as far as I could, which meant I couldn’t afford to save Adelle first.

From Clarice’s perspective, there would have been no way of knowing where Adelle was. Knowing that Adelle’s starting point was in the Gluckt House corridor was a fact known only to me. Being pressed for time, I couldn’t convey this beforehand.

Moreover, I couldn’t have predicted that Adelle’s divine energy and life would be spent after this last return. Having projected a manageable escape once more, I assumed, like always, she’d head toward the academy cathedral. After all, that’s what happened in the dozens of times I’ve experienced this.

But these reasons are merely self-defense mechanisms, and I am aware of that.

Regardless, Adelle Ceres has met her death. Even if it was with a smile, the fact she has met her end is unchanging.

My relationship with Adelle wasn’t especially close. My attempt to save her was simply due to my conscience. While that may be true…

The fact remains, I tried to save her but could not.

I resisted the pressure on my back and continued to throw logs onto the fire for a long time.

Well, we could see it as 1 of the possibilities of this outcome🤔

Daym the story is great! I was just trying to look up something to read, so I skipped it to last chapter and found this masterpiece! But it brought to my attention as to why he's trying to survive so hard? If it was me I won't, like is that the life he aspire to achieve, Surviving just to see another day? Is he fighting bear for survival in his last life for food?
