Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 166
Chapter 166
166fury. note test(5)
Lucia's thrusts rushed towards me..
Took bang!
“Ugh!”
At the same time, a huge pain came from my abdomen..
The ground rose up and hit me..
It's physically impossible?
No, it is possible if you think a little differently..
……Yes. My body collapsed..
As a result, my body hit the ground..
“what? It's already over?”
Lucia stabbed me in the head with a wooden sword..
“Hehe, it doesn't stop attacking even when the opponent is downed. I'm sure the reputation Lucia has built up is crying..”
“Is this an attack? It's a confirmation of life or death.”
ah-ha, I see. Verifying life or death is done by stabbing a person.?
I learned one thing. I must use it next time.
“So I'm going to stop?”
“Hehehe, I can do this all day long.”
“The spirit is good. I hope my skills are the same this time.”
As soon as the sword was straightened, the sparring began again..
Sparring was difficult at first, but I learned it one by one and started to enjoy it more and more..
But even that was gradually reaching its limit..
It may be because I lose every day, or it may be because I feel like I am not making any progress, but the biggest reason that demotivates me is…….
‘I don't see a way to complete the quest.’
What was supposed to be a month is now only a week away..
[[Fleur Family] I discovered the secret hidden in the skill, raised my stats a little, and became quite accustomed to sparring..
Let alone finding a way to win Lucia's approval, I couldn't find even the slightest hint..
So it was natural for me to feel frustrated..
Just-! Tadak!
It still is. Lucia blocked my attack very easily..
A short period of time, skills that rarely grow, an invisible path, and skin that becomes dull due to stress.(?).
There are many problems, but one of the biggest problems has arisen recently..
I thought I would never clear this quest..
the biggest problem.
“Lucid's fifth draw, Sky…….”
“gap!”
Puuk!
“The movements are too big! How many times have I told you that a draw comes naturally? I want to fight like this in real life too?”
The movement increased to use the secret technique, and Lucia's strike came through the gap..
Maybe it was because I got hit in the solar plexus, but I couldn't even let out a moan of pain..
‘It's really too much. Please take a look and do it! You are an 8-star knight! When do you just dodge, saying it’s too much trouble to block?!’
Yes. Lucia's changed mindset.
This was the biggest problem.
In the past, I yawned, swung my sword, and sparred until my stamina was exhausted..
What this means is that we had a sparring session with some guidance..
But after the night I met Charon.
‘People have changed.’
There was nothing left to look at. One attack, one defense. There is no easy way to get through anything..
Even if you want to spar for a long time, you get beaten up and go out, so you can't fight for a long time..
‘Even my body got better..’
My muscles became stronger and I lost a lot of weight..
So much so that you can see it with the naked eye..
You can see such changes after only three days of training.?
So, what kind of monster will I be by the time I take the test in 5 days?.
I didn't know the details, but I knew one thing for sure..
‘That it will be better than it is now.’
That was clear.
‘It was good to have Lucia join the punitive force, but…….’
Who would have thought it would cause a butterfly effect that would make the quest I was in progress more difficult?.
Like pine nuts... … No, it's the best game.
It's like a nut-like game that's good for your health.?
It's a good thing, so I'll say it again. This is a really crazy game.
Lucia in front of me is also a person like a pine nut……!
“What are you thinking??”
“Hehe, Lucia was thinking that she was as beautiful as ever today. You must be like a pine nut..”
“…… I feel strangely bad about it, but I'll get over it for now. Let me tell you in advance, I will be in charge of you during the paper test. Don’t let your guard down, because you will be taking a test that is just like the real thing..”
It's as expected. The problem is that even if I get it right, it doesn't feel good at all.?
“Hehe, then I guess sparring is a test? Is it okay for you to disclose this information??”
“Well, whatever. You're not the kind of person who will fail level 1 or 2..”
“Still, how about taking a look at it? Our relationship isn't that bleak, is it??”
“What is our relationship??”
“Hehe, maybe it’s a sticky relationship with a secret??”
“……I like relationships that are as bleak as a desert..”
Is it because my mindset has changed? Mental attacks don't work either..
If it had been like before, I would have stepped back, not knowing what to do..
“You're trying to suppress the academy students with all your might... … It is an honour. Of course, it is an honor that I will receive after I die in this exam..”
“You said you would take a test similar to the real test, but you didn't say it would be like the real test, right? Don't worry, the passing line will be based on your age. A 5-star article would be enough..”
5I guess St. Knight is the name of someone’s dog..
How many people have achieved 5-star knighthood at the age of 15?.
“What's wrong with your expression? You have to do that much. Dyke, he's a 5-star knight too.?”
Dyke, the Hound of Teron.
5The castle knight is right.
‘He's the semi-boss of chapter 3! So it’s natural that the specs are high.!’
But all I could do was pout.
This is because Lucia, who is in front of you, has reached 5 stars at the age of 14..
Lucia grabbed my muzzle and moved it little by little from side to side..
“I can't help it. My opinion is that this kind of thing should be done strictly. Above all, because there was a bet. So we have no choice but to do it right..”
bet.
This is the ‘trick’ I suggested to clear this quest..
If I surprise Lucia one more time, she will 'recognize' me as her student..
If you fail, do whatever Lucia wants..
‘The conditions for recognition were lowered to surprising. At the time she thought it was a good trick…….’
Now that I look at it, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference..
At this point, it's better to be prepared in case you lose the bet..
‘What Lucia wants is probably…….’
How did you learn about Lucid's secret?.
You'll want that information..
If there were anyone else besides me who knew Lucid's secret, I couldn't help but feel anxious..
Lucia said she would treat me at the level of a 5-star knight, but she will face me with all my heart..
“So, today’s sparring is over.?”
Lucia asked again.
The pain from being hit in the solar plexus has long since gone away..
I have enough stamina left to do it once or twice more..
After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth..
“Could you please fight with a different weapon??”
“huh?”
“Any weapon other than a sword..”
The reason for this suggestion was simple..
As I was fighting with swords, the same situation was often repeated, so I felt like I was falling into some sort of mannerism..
Because it reminded me of a situation where I almost got into a fight with Scarlett at a bar..
‘The most popular weapon in this world is the sword, but you can't help but fight with other weapons..’
The same goes for the bosses and mid-bosses you will meet in the future..
A person with Lucia's level of skill would be able to use most weapons, although not as good as a sword..
Lucia heard me and nodded..
“That's right. That's because the problem is that I'm annoying..”
“What weapon are you the worst at using??”
“why? You want me to fight with it? Sorry, but that won't happen. Family is very important to me..”
Lucia headed towards the weapons display case and took out a spear..
“The spear is the most used after the sword. I'll hang out with you. I think it might be a good way to kill time..”
* * *
[You have faithfully practiced the Fleur family’s swordsmanship. That's a lot of concentration.]
[match rate 31.3%.]
[As a reward, your strength stat increases by 0.3.]
“Phew.”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead..
Already the third notification today.
The pace is good. If you're lucky, you'll reach a new record of five times a day.…….
“…….”
It was a time when I thought I could do it..
The face of a girl with an unknown smile next to me came into view..
One of the main characters of the game… … No, you're the damn kid who's ruining my image.
I want you to be Miss Euridia..
“Now you're looking at this side?”
“Hehe, that's right. I wish I had never seen it in my life.”
“Such sad words! If you knew how we felt about coming, you would definitely regret it.!”
It's us?
It was only after looking around that I could understand its meaning..
Alex and Raymon. They came together.
“Wow, this old witch has two friends! No way!”
“joy! No matter how much you deny it, the truth cannot be changed. I have three friends. Unlike the two of you!”
“Three, three people? Who is the other one??”
“There is a parrot. You are always with me in my heart!”
“Hey, I was friends with the parrot too, right? Zero, Alex, Yuridia, and even the parrot. Well, then there are four of me.!”
“Why is the parrot your friend? Zero is my friend too, right? Eat this!”
Luna, who went behind Raimon, grabbed his waist and bent his back..
“German Suplex!”
“Okay, okay, okay.!”
Kwaang!
And so a wrestling match began..
A wrestling match in which Raymon gets beaten up by Luna..
‘……Raimon's characteristic is that his evasion rate increases as the distance increases, but he ignores that..’
Maybe our Luna is a much better kid than I thought..
He spoke to Yuridia, who was staring blankly at the fight between the two..
“Hehe, are you becoming friends with Raymon??”
“Oh, no? He is just a member of the Euridia faction. Gu, military god. is it so! It can be said to be a military-lord relationship..”
“Did Alex and Raimon enter the Euridia faction??”
“Well, we hang out together sometimes, so wouldn’t it be okay to say that??”
It's an illusion like Yuridia..
Alex is a noble wolf and Raimon is an unruly child..
This means that it is impossible for Yuridia to control those two..
“We are steadily expanding our reach. How about joining Zero too??”
“Hehe, you even accepted the Kraken. It seems like a very big force..”
“Oh my, were you the type of person who cared about such rumors? It seems he was a man with a smaller heart than I thought, Zero..”
Oh, it's been a while since I heard Yuridia's unique tone of voice. Let's interpret it.
you are petty That's why men get upset about things like that?
……That would mean.
“Hehe, it almost makes me want to extend my tentacles to Ms. Euridia..”
“I will politely decline. Zero has a fiance, right? And if it's like this, it's difficult, right? I'm here to help Zero and Miss Luna..”
They came to help us.
I could understand what Yuridia was trying to say..
“We will provide you with special.”
Yuridia took a big step forward and whispered secretly in my ear..
“Information about the test I got.”
Boy, that information.…….
i know better than you.
That too much.
