Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 140
Episode 140
140fury. My skills are top-notch, but my swordsmanship is third-rate.!(1)
the next afternoon.
“Hey, I'm sleepy.”
Lucia kept her promise. Just as we were just starting to warm up. He personally came to the training ground carrying a heavy body..
“I never thought I would be teaching children at this age... … . Anyway, people these days have no respect for the elderly.?”
Well, the attitude like an old man was still there..
“Hehe, are you here?.”
“hello!”
“Oh, hello…….”
“OK. Still, you are polite. Except for one person.”
I'm sure you're not saying this about me.?
Probably not. There is no difference in personnel.
After deducing with my clever mind, the culprit who offended Lucia was.
“Hehe, Ms. Leger. You have to say hello properly. Lucia, weren’t you disappointed?.”
“yes……?”
Taaak!
“It's not him, it's you!”
Lucia said that while hitting me on the head..
It was amazing. It was surprising that Lucia, who was far away, arrived in front of me in an instant..
‘The culprit was me?’
So that means my greeting was wrong... … What on earth went wrong??
“okay! The correct answer was ‘Are you here?’ rather than ‘Are you here?’?”
“Is that it??”
“Hehe, then what is it??”
“Ugh… … I have to teach this guy for 3 weeks... … . let's not talk.”
Lucia glanced at us with half-dead eyes..
“But why is it doing that??”
For reference, the ‘that’ Lucia pointed out was referring to Leger, and the question ‘Why are you doing that?’…….
“Leger! You should look this way! Why are you standing looking at the wall??”
Yes. As Luna said, Leger was putting his head against the wall... … No, it was almost in the state of being fucked..
Contrary to my thoughts, it seems that 'Tomorrow's Leger' was someone who could not solve today's problems..
“Hehe, actually…….”
Leger briefly explained why he wanted to become one with the wall..
OK.
“If you make eye contact with a strong person, you will die? Ah, there are people like that..”
“……Does this mean that what Miss Leger said is true??”
“No, well… … Even though no one died, there were often some who fainted..”
Judging from Lucia's reaction, it wasn't a lie. There was no reason to lie like that in the first place..
‘Suddenly, an unexpected problem arose..’
I've never experienced anything like this in a game before..
As the level difference increased, there were cases where status abnormalities were more likely to occur, but it did not immediately lead to fainting or death..
In a way, it is natural. We have just entered the beginning of Chapter 2..
It's very rare to encounter a high-level character like Lucia..
‘Anyway, we might end up abandoning Leger sooner than expected..’
Comrades who cannot fight are envoys from this side..
First, I was in a hurry to bandage Leger's eyes..
“Well, it's not like there's no cure..”
“Does a cure exist??”
“It's simple. I'm getting stronger.”
“yes?”
“The stronger that kid gets, the narrower the gap with his opponent is, right? The more you grow, the more people you can look at... … Eventually you will be able to look everyone in the eye..”
Maybe it's a game setting and hidden piece related to the level..
There was nothing I could do anyway. There is no choice but to believe and follow what the experienced person says..
“for a moment…….”
As soon as she said those words, Lucia's eyes lit up..
Then Leger, who was standing with his back turned, continued to tremble..
Luna and I just looked at Leger strangely..
“Oh, I feel so good?”
“It's a feeling?”
“Yes, I even detected level 1 mana. It's amazing?”
Our heads simultaneously turned to the left. I was expressing that I didn't know what I was talking about..
There was a small accident where Luna and Leger bumped their heads because Leger turned around and bent his head..
Anyway, Lucia's explanation continued..
“I tried shooting mana by adjusting the strength and weakness to a total of 5 levels. And of the three of you, the one behind you was the only one to react..”
“Are you saying you sensed mana??”
“It's a little different, but... … Well, it doesn’t matter if you look at it that way..”
Maybe it's the power of Leger's [Concentration S] and [Crisis Detection A] skills..
“For your information, that's an innate talent. Of course, it is possible with effort, but... … He can achieve that level without even trying, so I can't help but say he's talented. This kind of feeling... … This is my first time seeing you since Masters..”
Lucia’s praise continued. Seeing her praise it so highly, it must be a very useful talent..
And usually when a conversation like this comes up, what follows is…….
“There's one technique that's perfect for a kid like that. Magic guns are not my specialty, so I was wondering what to teach... … It just worked out well..”
Yes. It is a ‘skill transfer’ event..
As you play the game, you sometimes come across strange things, and the rewards you can get vary depending on your skills, characteristics, and story..
And the most representative reward you can get is ‘skill’.’.
I don't know what kind of skill Lucia is trying to pass on, but it's an unexpected harvest..
“Hehe, I would like to ask you to also train to increase your mana amount..”
“Do you want to see this shameless guy? What did you entrust to me??”
Continuously-.
Lucia approached me before I knew it, grabbed both my cheeks and stretched them to both sides..
Hmm, I feel like I want to blow away the secrets of the Lucid family right away..
‘Phew… … Let’s be patient and be kind..’
This is a hard-won opportunity. I didn't want to create unnecessary variables..
“Hehe, I know that Ms. Leger has talent and that she will be fine as she gets stronger. But what now? You won't be able to learn properly in that condition..”
“There's a way.”
Lucia took something out..
It was a red hat and sunglasses..
“All I have to do is suppress my spirit as much as possible and cover my eyes. How about it, it's okay now?”
“iced coffee… … yes Go, thank you!”
Lucia, who was in front of me, had already reached Leger's eyes..
Leger bowed towards her..
‘Did you prepare in advance? I mean, he's very kind..’
Maybe Lucia's reputation doesn't drop because of that kind of appearance..
I guess it's a charm hidden behind a vain appearance.?
“I think it's all sorted out... … Let's start training now?”
Wait, but that… … This is something I've seen a lot of times somewhere.?
Where did you see it??
“Do not make eye contact with this teaching assistant..”
Lucia’s words were spoken with her voice lowered. Eventually I was able to recall a certain memory..
“Ugh!”
“What, what! Why are you acting like this all of a sudden??”
“……Is it PTSD that all men have?.”
“……What bullshit? Now you're protesting because you're the only man?”
I didn't even have time to reply to Luna's words..
This is because I felt tremendous pain in the frontal lobe of my brain..
“There, no chit-chat..”
“Hehehe, the pain that started in the frontal lobe of the brain is eating away at my entire body... … Can I take a break??”
A request filled with sincerity that everyone has no choice but to listen to..
Lucia said with a bright smile..
“Can you do it??”
* * *
“Okay, 10 minute break..”
“Ahhh…….”
“Huh, huh…….”
Leger fell down with a strange sound..
But this wasn't much different for us either. My whole body is covered in sweat..
‘I expected the training to be old-fashioned, but…….’
This is more than you think.
Basic training that lasted for 2 hours without a break.
For reference, Leger started crawling on the ground after about 20 minutes..
“Are you finally this tired? Anyway, these days things are…….”
“Hehe, I don't think the old ones are much different from us.?”
“okay? Then we can compare. I happen to be one of those old things.?”
“Ugh! Pain originating in the frontal lobe of the brain spreads to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.…….”
“……Shut up before I make it real.”
I immediately closed my mouth. Because Lucia is a person who can do that..
10 minutes passed in an instant like that..
“Before we start training in earnest, I want to confirm one thing: you three are the only ones I have to teach.?”
“Hehe, that's right.”
“It's good because it's a minority. There is plenty of time... … I'll look at each one individually..”
“yes?”
“why? no? Don't hate it.”
“No, that's fine. This is an excellent choice..”
The reason I was surprised. Because I didn’t know that Lucia would do something like this..
I thought it would end with just observing and pointing out their posture, but they said they would personally coach three people for three weeks..
It was not something Lucia, known as a byword for laziness, would do..
‘I was even prepared to use a wish ticket... … Things worked out well. Well, I guess that means wanting to protect the family..’
Don't let anything related to the devil's curse come out of my mouth..
Since it was only 3 weeks at most, you probably thought, ‘I’m going to have to suffer that much.’.
of course.
‘I have no intention of finishing this in 3 weeks..’
I'm pure and naive, but I'm not stupid enough to let go of a tiger that came rolling in..
Oh, that doesn't mean you just want to eat it..
Lucia is a hero of the continent and a person who should make a big impact in the mid to late game..
Since he is someone who needs to help the main character and his group, I thought I would use it moderately and then let it go..
Let’s see… … one… … About President Dwenor? If you use it to that extent, it will be appropriate..
huh? Doesn’t that mean you’re going to suck out the bones??
Hehehe. It's all an illusion, an illusion.
“Did you say Leger? First of all, you go over there and shoot. Don't leave any mana behind.”
“yes… … yes.”
Leger headed to the place where the shooting model was. While crawling.
But we couldn't afford to worry about that kind of thing..
Because we're about to die right now..
“You two are going to spar with me. Who do you want to start with??”
“Me! I'll do it first.!”
“The spirit is good. Don't waste time, start right away.”
The sparring between Lucia and Luna has begun.
Since Lucia only focused on defense, it didn't even seem like a sparring match..
“So far.”
“omg… … omg. Go, thank you.”
“You have good sense. I guess you have a lot of fighting experience.?”
“yes… … Joe, a little bit.”
“However, it is too much of a street fight. It must be very frustrating when fighting with kids of a certain level.?”
“Woah, definitely… … I've felt that way a lot since I came to the academy. Does it feel like fighting a wall??”
Lucia accurately diagnosed Luna's current condition with just one sparring session..
After pointing out a few more things, Lucia shifted her gaze towards me..
“It's your turn. Let’s take a look at your skills?”
“Hehehe, don’t expect anything..”
Because I'm extremely weak because I can't use my secret skills..
Especially for me, who doesn't even know the letter A of swordsmanship, sparring is hopeless..
It would be safe to say that he is on the same level as Leger, who holds a sword. No, maybe it's weaker?
“Hmm~ So you’re saying to look forward to it? Well, it's worth being cocky. This is going to be fun for the first time in a while?”
Lucia's eyes lit up and she licked her lips..
Unlike the sparring a little while ago, where Luna's attack was merely parried, it was clear to me that he intended to attack me as well..
No, I really meant not to have any expectations.!?
“Goes! Don't let down your guard!”
“Now, now, now, just a moment……!”
1 second after that.
my body was flying in the sky.
Of course, it was intentional..
