I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 159

159fury

The moment I looked down at the sobbing academy cadet, the door behind me suddenly opened..

Grumbling……!

I immediately got into a combat stance, but the cadet's attitude was different..

“lived, lived……!”

The guy who had been sobbing just a moment ago grinned and threw himself into the door as if he were diving..

“you you! You too, come here quickly!”

“…….”

And gestures with a bright face.

I was a little surprised, but it didn't seem like a trap, so I followed it..

The door closed right after I stepped in..

“Phew…….”

Then the cadet let out a sigh that came from deep in his heart..

“done… … . You'll be safe for now.”

“It's safe?”

I looked down at the cadet..

It seemed like there was a lot of explanation I needed to hear..

* * *

Arryn Ohandel.

Seventeen years old. A third-year academy cadet and member of the Faculty of Magic..

Ohandel is a family I have never heard of. It means that they are not from a particularly famous family..

“It must be around here…….”

As soon as Arin entered the room, she started searching around, and in the meantime, I looked around the room..

It looks like it was roughly used as a laboratory, but it wasn't very spacious..

About half of the dorm room I stay in?

The room also had a window, through which I could see the blood-red moon still floating..

I was distracted by the sky earlier..

This time, I lowered my gaze a little lower and looked at the ground..

“…….”

The ground illuminated in red seemed to be soaked in blood. It makes me wonder if this is the place I just walked into..

The change didn't just happen because it got dark..

Withered gardens and trees, old street lamps, broken roads, and the devil.…….

‘devil?’

I narrowed my eyes..

There was a monster that was clearly visible even from a building quite far away..

When I looked closely, they looked like dolls, but they were too big..

From what I could see, it seemed like it was at least 3 meters tall..

“‘It's an 'adult doll'.”

Arin suddenly approached and whispered..

“adult doll?”

“huh. The thing you killed earlier is called a ‘child doll’. Child dolls are only allowed inside the building. The ones wandering outside like that are all adult dolls..”

“hmm…….”

“That's why we can't even dare to leave the building.”

Arin sighed, shook her head, and spoke in a bright tone as if to brighten the mood..

“Look at this.”

I felt something, and in my hands were two buckets of water and something that looked like a long stick..

The latter was a visual I had seen somewhere before..

“…energy bar?”

“oh. You know. that's right. There is something to eat hidden in the room like this. There just happen to be two here..”

Arin handed me an energy bar..

“eat this……!”

“uh?”

“Oh, no. Since you saved me, I can take both.…….”

A gurgling sound cut off Arin’s words. Arin's face heated up in an instant..

“I ate a lot from outside, so you can both eat..”

“I really?”

“That's right.”

“thank you!”

The moment Arin exhaled, “Whoa,” there was an energy bar in her mouth..

It begins to gnaw on the hard energy bar with a crackling sound..

Energy bar made from hardened grains.

I ate what Priest Junian gave me during the retreat. It was easy to preserve and had enough calories, but it wasn't very tasty..

Unless it was an emergency, I didn't want to eat it.…….

Arin seems just happy to be able to fill her stomach..

‘Isn’t it impossible?.’

Looking at his skin and bones, it looks like he's starved for a week even if he can't do it..

Arin drank an entire bottle of water with a sigh and a happy expression on her face..

“Whoa… I will live.”

“The senior.”

I felt like I was finally ready to talk, so I looked away from the scenery outside and asked.

“how long have you stayed here?”

“well? The sun doesn't rise here... … . Still, it seems like it's been a few months..”

“…….”

It's hard to believe that literally.

Even if you are a survival expert, it is difficult for an ordinary cadet to feel the passage of time correctly in an extreme situation..

Arin secretly looked at me and asked.

“But what on earth are you? To defeat that ugly doll in one fell swoop!…….”

“My name is Luan. My identity is Yeongdo..”

“leading!?”

Arin looked at me in surprise..

“ah! I said I was a transfer student... … . that's right. I remember hearing that the spirits would be coming in about a month. So, you are a descendant of a [great family], right? No, it's a thing.……?”

Is it a low-ranking noble?.

I suddenly laughed at the way he spoke respectfully and looked at me..

“Just say it comfortably. Anyway, I'm a transfer student here..”

“Is that so? Uh, anyway… This is my first time seeing Yeongdo. amazing… … . For some reason, he seemed very calm. Are all young people like that??”

Arin seemed to have a chatty personality..

If you put it next to the palm, it feels like the two of you will be chatting all day long..

Anyway, the name Yeongdo is helpful..

As was the case with Glenn, boys and girls of this age generally have a yearning for the status of a young hero..

Arin's trust-filled eyes were a bit burdensome, but…….

Rather, with this kind of attitude, it seems like they would be more likely to follow my orders in an emergency, so it wasn't necessarily a bad thing..

‘The most important priority is ensuring the safety of civilians..’

This safety does not simply mean blocking physical threats..

Mental stability should also be promoted as much as possible..

I looked at Arin and said.

“Senior, don’t worry anymore. I will protect you.”

“uh?! Uh, huh……!”

Then Arin nodded repeatedly with a slightly red face..

‘Isn't this?’

Actually, I'm not very good at vocabulary..

Anyway, I wasn't in a leisurely situation where I could choose what to say, so I asked the question again..

“I know where the entrance to this building is.?”

“I know, but…….”

Arin said in a heavy voice..

“It's impossible to get out.”

“There are people outside called adult dolls?”

“That too... First, let me tell you about this building. This research building is so large that it is deformed. As you can see, the hallway seems to be dozens of times longer than an ordinary building..”

I nodded..

Not only the length, but also the width became wide enough for a carriage to run..

Arin continued..

“This is the first floor, but… You have to climb up to get outside..”

“why?”

“1There is no door to the floor. The only way out is to climb to the roof and jump off..”

Why is your tone so strange?.

It's not a guess, it's like you're certain.

“Did you actually try it??”

“…Not me, but my seniors in the red crown. There were seven people in total..”

Arin said in a sad voice.

“In this building, the higher you go, the more vicious people appear. The doll on the first floor is too much for me, so what kind of monster is there on the rooftop? It's right to leave your luggage behind..”

“…….”

“Still, those seniors were very strong. Because the dolls in the building were taken down as easily as you. but…….”

Arin looked at the window with dead eyes..

“They were all killed by one adult doll..”

“ah.”

“There wasn't even a fight. Those dolls outside... It's a real monster.”

Is it that much??

I saw it briefly, but it was difficult to guess the level just by looking at it..

If they were living creatures, they would have been able to guess their approximate skills through prayer, but that's because they're puppets..

I took a moment to gather my thoughts..

work priorities.

Killing the princess somewhere in this world is urgent, but there is still time until Manwol..

So what you need to prioritize right now is…….

“Let's go out first.”

“where to go?”

“I need to find more people.”

There may be more still alive..

Those living guys might have information that Arin doesn't know..

Maybe there is someone who saw the princess..

“uh…….”

Arin hesitated at my words..

He seemed afraid to go out into the hallway..

“If you're scared, you can stay here..”

“Oh no! I'll go with you! Well, the luggage won't work. huh!”

Arin said urgently..

It seemed like I hated being left here alone more than dying..

I nodded and left the room..

I walk again through the hallway illuminated in blood red..

I glanced towards the window and said.

“by the way.”

“huh?”

“If you break this window, you can't just get out.?”

“ah.”

Arin smiled bitterly and said.

“Of course I tried. I hit him with a metal chair as hard as I could, but he didn't budge..”

“Ohh…….”

No matter what happens, it won't even get a scratch.?

When I hear these words, the rebellious spirit inside me stirs..

This is the moment when you look at a seemingly ordinary window and try to cause a fire..

“uh…….”

Arin pointed forward with a gasp..

“…….”

A doll was standing blankly..

It was a plush toy that could almost touch my ankle, but it also had a kitchen knife in its hand. There's blood there too.

Kikiki.

“Ahhh…….”

The moment the doll laughed, Arin took a step back and wrapped her arms around both shoulders..

It was a reaction as if encountering a nightmare in reality..

I stretched out my right arm.

The roughly unfolded flower wheel flew towards the doll. Shaped like a bunch of flames rather than a palm.

It was intentional..

I didn't want to waste my inner strength or mental strength on a small child like this..

Hwareuk!

The hwaryun covered the doll's entire body..

It burns as hot as a plush toy..

“uh……?”

By the time Arin made that stupid voice, my eyes had already moved away from the doll..

“Senior, can you run??”

“Ah, yes.”

“Then let's hurry. Do you know where the stairs are??”

“I know, but… if.”

Arin hesitated and said.

“You can save my friends before they go upstairs.?”

“Please save me?”

I tilted my head at the strange words..

Because the words were a bit strange.

Asking for help means you're still alive, but a crisis here can lead to death within seconds..

That's because the opponents are murder dolls..

This is especially true for cadets who have not received any special training..

“huh… … . I'm obsessed.”

“To whom?”

“To the same cadet.”

A look of resentment appeared in Arin's eyes as she gritted her teeth..

“These are the sodomy guys. They took over the restaurant on the first floor..”

“indigo tube?”

“huh. Have you ever heard of it? At the academy level, it's a place where only problem children are put in. Is it some kind of detention center?.”

first time hearing this.

indigo tube.

I knew it was the lowest level of dormitory, but I had no idea that it was serving as a detention center for problem children..

‘It means that they are not people with good character..’

It is only in extreme situations that human true intentions are revealed..

Limited food, limited area, death everywhere... … . How did such an environment come to be for cadets with bad natures?.

I didn't really want to think about it too deeply..

“where is the restaurant?”

“wait for a sec.”

Arin stuck to the window.

‘The 'L' shaped building resembled an elongated straight body with both wings protruding from it..

I could see the opposite wing building through the window..

Arin seems to have guessed the current location by looking at that..

“I'll just keep going this way. Go straight and the road turns to the left. If you walk again, you will come across a particularly large door. That's the restaurant.”

“good. let's go.”

I walked a little faster.

Then I came across a few more dolls..

These guys only appeared one at a time, but they weren't particularly bothersome..

The terrain itself was also advantageous to me..

Because there was no place to hide in the open hallway..

For example, a small body like that would have been advantageous in a surprise attack, but it would have been much more troublesome if the surprise attack had been carried out while hiding in a narrow room..

“Even my senior in the swordsmanship department couldn't kill that doll.…….”

Arin seemed to have complicated feelings as she saw the doll falling apart. Anyway, I'm glad that the fear has faded a lot..

The road took a turn once and went straight again..

We entered a building we arbitrarily called the 'body', and the hallways here were much wider..

On the way, I found a staircase leading up, but I passed it without going up.…….

“…It's here.”

Finally, I found an unusually large door..

* * *

Rousseau Mozalan thought.

It must have been well over a month since I came to this ridiculous hell..

Maybe two months? I do not know.

At first I was frustrated and afraid. I even thought about death.

there was no need for that.

It was safe as long as I didn't go out into the hallway... This restaurant serves food every day depending on the number of people seated..

This was the reason why the useless cadets were kept in a room for now..

“Senior Russo, please.…….”

Then a cadet came up..

I could see a haggard complexion, dull eye glow, and prominent cheekbones..

“I haven't eaten anything for four days already... … . please… I should eat it because it’s even a little bit good.…….”

“Lying is fun. I can’t believe I ate anything. You gave me water yesterday.”

“Ha, one sip was all it took.…….”

“that's right.”

Russo said with a smile..

“I know that? People can survive for a month as long as they have something to drink. What do you think? It would be nice to think of this as an opportunity to go on a diet..”

“…….”

“Otherwise, you can just go out and find something to eat. Why was it Arin? She's just like that guy.”

The cadet closed his mouth..

Rousseau would probably know better that it was suicidal..

You are saying that knowingly..

Because I knew I wouldn’t be able to leave this restaurant..

It was then.

The door opened with a rattling sound..

The cadets in the cafeteria were not surprised. This is because the dolls did not open the door and come in. The hallway was the only domain of those demons..

In other words, it was always a person who opened the door.…….

Two people who appeared.

The person standing in front was a handsome white-blond-haired boy..

“Senior, right here.?”

“Yes…….”

A small murmur like a mosquito was heard from behind..

Rousseau's eyes landed on that. It's a familiar face.

“Arryn Ohandel, alive!.”

“…….”

“When you go outside, do you miss home too? Welcome back. Of course, I'm fasting for a week out of shame..”

“aha.”

It was not Arin who responded, but the boy..

“It was controlled like this. Although it's certainly cruel, there's nothing worse than food..”

At that time, the cadet sitting near the entrance opened his mouth..

“What are you??”

He was a particularly rough-looking guy, but his trained muscles were visible even under his cadet uniform..

“At first glance, he looks like a lower-class student, but he doesn't have a bun. Do you think there are still professors and school rules here??”

“…….”

“If you want to live long, follow etiquette.”

Then the boy's expression became strange..

I heard words I couldn't ignore.

“…etiquette?”
