172fury. note test(11)
“……!”
The very moment Leger put down the bowstring.
Charon's right arm moved like lightning..
He covered his heart with his forearm, his neck with his wrist, and his face with his palm..
It covers the vital points that all humans have..
I fell down at the same time..
The plan was to make the arrow miss by falling on purpose..
but.
hiss-!
“……!!”
The flying arrow bent towards me. And towards the heart.
This is not something you can avoid by expecting it..
Truly admirable bow skills, bordering on divine skill..
‘late. It is a minimally penetrating injury.……!’
The arrow struck Charon's forearm at the very moment when one of his knees touched the ground after intentionally falling..
Tuk-.
“……?”
The arrow, which was flying with the momentum to pierce my body, fell to the ground..
Let alone the heart that was covered, it couldn't even pierce the forearm..
“Hee hee hee hee! Sorry! sorry!”
A box disguised as a bush.
The girl inside was trembling and curled up..
Looks like he doesn't have the will to fight anymore.
This is an extremely weak response..
It's hard to believe that this is the kid who pushed himself just a moment ago..
“……Tsk.”
Charon, who was examining the fallen arrow, was only then able to realize what had happened..
Arrows made of wood. Even the end is square.
It wasn't a sharp arrow, but a blunt piece of wood..
It was natural to fall after being hit on the forearm..
‘……Right. This was a test.’
Techniques that could kill the opponent are prohibited, and safety devices are also installed on the equipment used..
Of course, since the level difference between him and his students was significant, he allowed them to use weapons such as Jinsword.…….
‘Since it wasn't an arrow filled with mana, it couldn't have pierced my body in the first place..’
But the moment he was caught up by Leger, his latent instincts were awakened..
The body made a decision without realizing it. Now this is real life, it's a real battlefield.
It was such a great strategy. To the extent that you have to deal with it sincerely..
glance-.
Charon, who was lost in thought while holding a piece of wood, looked down..
Is it because we make eye contact? The child's tremors in her box became more severe..
Since they don't seem to have the will to fight, you should make an evaluation, point out problems with their strategy, admonish them, and end the test..
But Charon couldn't say anything. because.
‘……What was this kid's name??’
Because no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember the name..
In the end, Charon.
“It was a fun operation. Have you prepared anything more??”
“…….”
“hey…….”
“Hee hee hee profit!!”
A gap in a box that is only slightly open.
When faced with Charon's grim face and sharp eyes visible through the gap, Leger had no choice but to start a fight..
What, if you get shot, you die! It doesn't budge!
“Zero, Zero is a liar…….”
Gulp!-.
That's how Leger lost his mind..
This was partly because he was so weak, but more so was because he was set to leave the battlefield when attacked by the enemy..
Now this is a test, not a real game.
Since it is not a life-threatening matter, the [Coward] trait of leaving the battlefield cannot be activated..
However, the threat(?) called Charon is just around the corner..
Since I couldn't escape the battlefield, I couldn't say it as a substitute, but I ended up suffering from a condition called 'fainting'..
It may seem absurd, but it is one of the hidden pieces that the game company carefully created..
Of course, none of the users know this..
And Charon didn't know this either..
From his perspective now.
‘Talking to you... … dead?’
He wasn't dead, but passed out, but from Charon's perspective, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed..
Even a sunfish wouldn't be like this..
“Phew… … Article 4, exam is over..”
There are as many as 10 groups remaining. I had to get busy.
Charon was packing Leger's luggage to prepare for the next group's exam..
Something came into his field of vision. It's Leger's magic gun..
I replayed the battle I had just fought in my head..
‘It's a bow attack using a magic gun as bait... … . Even thinking about it again, it's surprising..’
From the beginning of the test to just before the end, he mainly used the magic gun, leaving the weapon at the last moment and leaving..
When the arriving opponent has doubts, finish with a bow..
You may ask who gets into something like that, but you will know when you experience it yourself..
It's an operation that has no choice but to fail..
‘The moment I secured the magic gun, I relaxed without realizing it..’
He had thought that the enemy had no weapons and no means of attacking him..
If this was real?
The arrow must have been lodged in his forearm. You will lose the use of one hand..
No, it would be a good thing if it ended with the person not being able to use one hand..
‘6Castle Knight… … No, even if it was only at the level of a 5-star knight.…….’
If it was an arrow with all the mana poured into it?
The forearm and heart would have been pierced together..
9This means that he, a knight, could have died..
And this cheeky yet bold strategy…….
‘Zero, he must have come up with it..’
It's an operation with a unique sense of insidiousness..
But that doesn't mean the rabbit is ugly..
The power of the magic gun, incredible hit rate, hiding skills, and haunted bow skills are the same..
‘The operational execution ability is quite excellent..’
It's not an operation that everyone can do..
Personnel, battle structure, location, etc..
Because things always change.
Didn't the magic gun keep changing its location every time it was used?.
No matter how good Zero is, he probably wasn't able to point out every detail..
‘In other words, you have excellent improvisation..’
Charon had no intention of putting her in the advanced class just because she was Luna's friend..
However, for a child with this level of skill, it is natural to give him a good grade..
In fact, Leger was struggling because he didn't want to face Charon, but he couldn't help but think highly of Leger without knowing this fact..
Of course, it is not without its drawbacks..
Charon looked at his forearm. The square arrow mark was engraved as is..
‘It is clear that they were aiming for the heart. but…….’
Charon remembers clearly..
Eyes shining as the bowstring was pulled taut in the box.
A hint of hesitation in those eyes.
‘As soon as I turned around, I could shoot. But I hesitated for a moment and didn't shoot..’
That kid let go of the bowstring after he blocked a vital point with his arm..
I only fired the arrow after confirming that it was safe. then.
“Are you hesitant to commit murder?…….”
There are children like that sometimes, but this was too severe..
So much so that I hesitate to even shoot a piece of wood with a blunt end. It's difficult like this.
Competition with children sent from Seongguk is just around the corner..
If such a weak-hearted rabbit were placed in the honors class, the pride of the empire would be greatly damaged..
“…….”
Charon hesitated for a moment and scratched his head..
‘……Is it a bit ugly??’
If it weren't for Leger, Theron and Eurydia would have fallen long ago..
6Not only did he use the power of the Nine Stars, beyond that of a Holy Knight,.
Until I get down on one knee.
I fell on purpose to avoid the arrow, but it was that child who created that situation..
It was an undeniable fact.
But the attitude of trying to find fault somehow?.
‘perhaps… … Maybe it's because I feel sad..’
Excellent stealth skills, magical shooting control, and excellent command execution skills..
At that level, it's a match made in heaven..
If only I could fix my weak personality and hesitation to kill..
‘The best marksman in Annwood Academy history may be born..’
Of course, he is still embarrassed to be called a promising star..
Do you occasionally check to see how much you have grown? That's just it.
‘You would have easily passed the labyrinth test and the illusion magic test... … I'll easily get into the honors class..’
Suddenly, the image of Luna jumping up and down while hugging that child came to mind..
Yes, how about this and how about that..
The most important thing is that Luna can now travel with friends..
‘Tsk tsk, at the same time, I guess I can keep that guy in check too. I didn't like how I was getting closer to Luna... … It went very well.’
In a group with that kind of gender ratio, there are bound to be two girls going together..
Zero will become increasingly distant from Luna..
Charon, who was smiling without realizing it, carried the limp rabbit(?) on his back..
In the distance, I could see Eurydia playing and poking the unconscious Teron with a tree branch..
“4Are there three successful candidates?.”
Teron, Eurydia, and…….
“…….”
This rabbit is wrapped around.
What was your name??
* * *
“Is it a labyrinth?!”
“There are stones all around!”
“Ahh! The things the previous guys marked overlapped and made a mess! This is why you have to take the test first.?”
1As soon as the test to break through the stone labyrinth began, the children fell into confusion..
But my interests were somewhere else entirely..
‘Leger's test should be over by now. You must have done well according to plan.?’
There was no reason to be nervous.
It was a place without even a single small animal, let alone slime..
‘Because I know the way.’
I am the old man of this game. Not only does he have complete knowledge of the message test, but also the maps of other labyrinths..
2It was safe to say that it was a free pass until the car test..
At that moment, a group of children approached me..
“Sigh! Zero, you arrogant bastard. The opportunity has finally come.”
“?”
“Come on! I will judge you in the name of the 5th ranked Teronpa.!”
An extra whose name I can't remember pointed a sword at me..
Ah, I vaguely remember it..
One of the guys clinging to Teron. So the name is…….
“hmm… … Was it Goja-gun??”
“It's zeppada! What is this name with impure intentions? Not even a single letter is correct.!”
Zepana Gozana. They're the same two letters, so what's wrong?.
It doesn't seem that different..
In fact, it might be better to change your name. Because it’s a name I can never forget.
“Hehe, I see. But Mr. Zera, are you going to judge me? What does that mean??”
“It's Zepa, not Zera! Zepa ranked 5th!”
Well, no matter how I think about it, it's a very difficult name. I guess it doesn't stick in my mind very well..
“Sigh! Gordner got promoted after that idiot got kicked out. In a way, you could say he owes it to you..”
“Hehe, then shouldn’t you be thankful? Why are you judging??”
“It's to move up the ranks. It would be a great achievement if I punished you for being so arrogant..”
my… … I was dumbfounded when I heard Mercigi’s words..
The reason why Teronpa, who was always arguing, has been quiet recently.
Teron even gave orders not to provoke it..
‘Are you challenging me, who defeated the monster Dyke, to a fight? Am I sane??’
Teron's hunting dog, unofficially ranked first among first-year students at Annwood Academy..
5castle knight dyke.
There are less than 100 people who have achieved the four stars at the age of fifteen..
But a 5-star knight? There are so few of them that you can count them on one finger, and of course they are given the title of genius..
I am the one who had a duel with Dyke..
Officially it was a tie, but it's been a long time since the kids who were quite smart figured it out..
That I beat Dyke.
‘But you're fighting with me?’
In this case it's one of two things.
Either crazy or.
“It must have been a shameless move! I know everything!”
I'm really crazy.
It looks like it's both..
“Teron told me not to touch you... … It won't matter if I take it down.”
Was it Zera? Was it the Jedi? I don't know.
Anyway, a boy whose name I don't remember and a group of Teron pointed their swords at me..
The number is five.
I'm not worried. Because if you use threatening techniques, they will run away on their own..
But that kid also seemed fully prepared..
“Everyone cooperate with me! Let's all work together to take down that guy and increase the chances of getting an honors class! There are nineteen people! Even the monsters can't take on all of us.!”
The children roared at his shouts..
It was definitely a good opportunity for them. Teronpa took the lead and provided justification..
but.
“He ranked 3rd in the entrance exam.?”
“There is also a rumor that he defeated Dyke-kun. Certainly, Teronpa's momentum has waned since then.…….”
“I just hate it because it's ominous. It's best not to deal with a guy like that..”
It was full of negative opinions.
At that time, a girl came forward. Aida of Euridiapa.
Currently, the number of Yury Diapa members in our group is as many as 7..
If they agree, we will have no choice but to use secret techniques..
“Ugh, mmm! okay! Let’s all join together. It's about eradicating the third force.!”
“……That Kraken is definitely our enemy..”
Currently, my honor(?) has fallen to the ground..
This is because the rumor of ‘Kraken Zero’ spread by Yuridia gained weight and emerged as a threat to all students..
Of course, the rumor is that I'm going to build a harem empire targeting both men and women..
So, it is not strange for the children of the Yuridia faction to cooperate..
When I was seriously considering using secret energy, the child of Yurydiapa shouted..
“However, Miss Luna will be sad if she fails in the advanced class! Here, we will eradicate you, Teronpa, who are trying to bring down Zero.!”
“uh, what is that……!”
“Everyone charge!”
Wow-!!
Children of Eurydiapa rushing towards Teronpa.
Due to the tremendous force, Teronpa had no choice but to flee..
“Two, we'll see.!”
That's how a third-rate villain escaped into the labyrinth..
“I'm giving you special help just this time! Don't get me wrong.!”
“Hehe, thank you. This is also fate, even if it is a full name…….”
“Wow! The Kraken extends its tentacles! Everyone run away!”
As Yuridiapa ran away screaming, the remaining children also left in a hurry..
……okay.
Grumble-.
A tear flowed from my eye..
It was summer.
* * *
When Zero was actively engaged in Kraken activity.
Our Gilchi Luna entered the next group..
“huh? where am i?”
……I got lost in the labyrinth.
