Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 41
Episode 41
41fury. anthill(1)
Under the guidance of the instructor, the children got out of the carriage one by one..
What we encountered was the entrance to a huge cave..
It was a huge cave so that the entrance was well over 3 meters high..
‘It's similar to a game.’
I can't help but remember.
This is the episode where battle occurs for the first time since entering the academy..
‘Demonic beasts are remnants created by devils. It was that kind of setting..’
The devil creates a dungeon, where demonic beasts are born and attack people..
In the Empire, the dungeon is destroyed by attacking the dungeon and destroying the core inside it..
But there were a few things to preserve like this.
‘It is a dungeon preserved for students and knights to practice in battle and to secure magic stones..’
As long as there is a dungeon core, monsters will continue to be born, so periodic management is necessary..
We inspect once a month to reduce the population and deal with dangerous monsters in advance..
Since today is the first practical test for new students, they must have gone through another special inspection process about a week ago..
‘Nevertheless, accidents happen.’
That's the dungeon, the developers' trick.
Be it a novel, a cartoon, or a game..
‘Because it's not a dungeon without an event..’
It's the same in this dungeon, but it's not that big of a deal..
It's like a demon is attacking from all directions.?
I can say that it is a decent(?) event that happens when you play the game for the first time..
[main quest#3]
-Defeat the Demon Beast!
Kill 100 demon beasts.
Defeat the Beast(0/100).
Reward: 10 gold, 1 skill level up point
Penalty: All stats reduced by 3
The third main quest that suddenly appeared.
I immediately fell into thought..
‘They've already given me skill level up points.…….’
It is literally a point that can raise the level of a skill..
Skill-specific points that can raise F-level skills to E-level and E-level skills to D-level.
Of course, A-level skills can also be raised to S-level..
Anyone who has played the game will know.
This compensation is said to be ‘good for morale’.
But there is a good reason why the system gives these quests..
‘Because it takes a long time.’
It is in front of a dungeon full of demonic beasts, and an event is planned in which demonic beasts will attack from all directions..
100Because it is physically impossible to kill Mari alone..
‘Since this is just training, you won't be given that many opportunities..’
I guess I'll catch about 20 at most.?
In other words, to complete this quest, you had to invest at least a month or more..
That's why we give good rewards compared to the difficulty level..
In fact, more than half of the users refused the ‘Slay the Demon Beast’ quest..
This is because no other main quests are given until this quest is cleared..
one month.
If you receive good quests in a row, you will have time to clear two or three..
So it wouldn't be surprising if I declined the quest here..
Because there are not that many opportunities to catch 100 demon beasts..
Of course, as far as.
‘Only in the normal way.’
[‘Defeat the demon beast!' You have accepted the quest.]
“what? That smile.”
“Hehe, what are you saying? I'm always smiling, right?.”
“It's suspicious... … Tell me what your plan is.?”
It was when Luna pushed her face and put pressure on me..
Charon shouted loudly..
“As everyone knows, fighting demon beasts is no joke..”
“yes! I know it well!”
“The answer is interesting. However, accidents occur every year in top performing classes. You guys probably know better why..”
Because I believe in my own strength and let down my guard.
Because I think he is a skilled person who can easily handle low-level magic beasts..
So the injury rate among elite elites was higher..
‘Well, I'm not worried.’
I know I shouldn't let down my guard, but I can't help it..
[Attack skills imitated with [Imitation of God], and even assistance with [Swordsmanship A].
Even if it were a demon instead of a low-level magician, it would be laughable..
Now we divide into groups and enter..
That was the story of the game. however.
“There's nothing like sparring to warm up your body and raise tension..”
Charon looked at me and grinned..
Ah, I feel uneasy about something..
“Zero, come forward..”
“…….”
“Guys like you always end up in accidents. So let me raise the tension a bit. For you.”
The children's eyes were fixed on me..
I know it's Charon's plan, but I can't help it..
Because there is karma I accumulated during the last class..
‘I was really weak and avoided sparring, but from Charon's point of view, he must have been an extremely arrogant bastard..’
What is the excuse you gave that you were in a hurry??
Hehe, I'm the type of person who doesn't get into meaningless fights.?
I can't not get angry if I don't get angry..
So I quietly followed Charon’s words..
“It's for you, so I won't leave you out.?”
“Hehe, I can't believe you care so much about me. I'm just grateful..”
“Well then, I should be thankful. Now, if anyone wants to spar with Zero, please come forward. I will award a special store to whoever wins here..”
Gossip and gossip-.
“Charon’s store? It's precious.”
“But he wasn't ranked 3rd in the entrance exam?”
“I've never seen a fight before…….”
Each child said something and made a judgment about me..
The busiest were Teronpa and Eurydiapa..
We gathered in groups of twos and threes and started discussing whether to go out and, if so, who would go out..
“I'm a target for recruitment, but I wonder if they're just making me feel bad for no reason.…….”
“Is he worth recruiting? It's clear that he has no clue..”
“Still, it's worth taking a look at your skills.…….”
flashing!
When things took a strange turn, Luna quickly raised her hand..
But Charon turned his head and pretended not to see..
‘It's probably because he knows Luna won't rush at him with all his might..’
After Luna, several people raised their hands..
One person each from Teron and Eurydia raised their hands..
What was selected…….
“Gordner, come forward..”
It was Gordner..
One of Teronpa's subordinates and one of the children who had a fight with Luna..
Is the ranking around 6th in Teronpa??
It means that the child is quite capable..
‘Well, there's nothing to worry about though..’
Currently, most of the things I imitate are my family's vision skills..
I can't use it in places like this, but I have [Swordsmanship A] that I imitated with [Imitation of God]..
Since most of the current first-year students were at [Fwordsmanship], I was confident that I could overwhelm them with just this..
‘I'm not being arrogant.’
[[Swordsmanship] After acquiring the skill, I felt a difference just by walking around with a sword..
Gait, grasping posture, etc..
My body maintained a posture that allowed me to draw my sword at any moment..
Should we call it the automatic correction of the swordsmanship world??
“I will provide you with a wooden sword for sparring..”
I faced Gordner with a wooden sword in my hand..
A cool yet heavy feeling the moment you hold the sword in your hand..
This is the end of the long period of humiliation and persecution..
now.
It's time to return to Sword Saint Zero!
* * *
Unlike me, who was relaxed, Gordner was very nervous..
The opponent is Geomseong Go Gil-dong... … No, it was natural for me..
He said while shaking his wooden sword..
“Hehehe, let’s come. The player will yield.”
It's not shameful to be defeated by me, a sword saint, that's what I said, but I guess it sounded a little different to Gordner's ears..
Gordner, wriggling his eyebrows, rushed straight in..
“lower pressure!”
Honest slam attack from the left.
I took the wooden sword leisurely..
‘You have to spin it once while blocking it. Then you will have no choice but to miss his wooden sword..’
Gordner's wooden sword will begin to plummet to the ground after gliding through the sky..
As soon as the wooden sword hits the ground, I will turn around and mutter..
‘Hehe, you are doing quite well. But it's still far away.’
Very cool, like the main character in a novel.
Female students might fall in love with me like that..
Ah, I'm too busy to date, what should I do?.
kagak!
As I let my imagination run wild, I finally came face to face with a wooden sword..
Now, if you spin it around once, your opponent will lose the sword from his hand..
Because my [swordsmanship] skill is grade A.
however.
‘what?’
Instead of spinning around, the wooden sword gets pushed closer and closer to me..
Something is wrong. Did you rely too much on skill??
I pushed the wooden sword with all my strength. Put the weight of her whole body on it.
Sreuk-.
Then Gordner drew back his wooden sword..
I was pushing the wooden sword forward strongly..
My body naturally leaned forward and my balance was lost..
Gordner didn't stop there..
As soon as he retrieved the wooden sword, he dug in to my left..
I hurriedly moved my wooden sword towards that place..
Taaak!!
‘Pfft!’
Wooden swords crossed while out of balance.
My palm started to tingle, and then my whole body started to tingle..
It's pain. The pain is strong enough to make you want to put down the wooden sword right away..
‘What on earth is this?……!’
If my hand hadn't moved and changed the angle on its own, I would have missed the sword with the previous blow..
Just two exchanges of sword strikes.
But it was enough of an exchange to realize something..
‘Are you saying that the only thing I'm good at is swordsmanship?……!’
Strength, agility, experience, reflexes, even the calluses on your hands..
There was nothing ahead of Gordner..
“Hey, come to your senses. Where did the leisure from earlier go??”
“Hehe, hehe... … You're doing something..”
“If you're just looking at it, it's okay. ah! Or perhaps…….”
Kuuuuk-.
“Was it really weak??”
Gordner moved his crossed swords around and aimed at my neck..
It feels like a wooden sword will touch my neck at any moment..
The good news is that [swordsmanship] skills are starting to show their power..
Kkugu Soup-.
Gordner's wooden sword continued to move..
My hands moved automatically accordingly..
Not only does it defend against his attacks, it even aims for Gordner's neck..
I'm not sure, but it seemed clear that the situation over there had gotten worse..
Because Gordner’s complexion began to harden..
At the same time, I realized one thing:.
‘Are you saying that swordsmanship skills only increase technical proficiency?……!’
This means that I have to do the basic attack and defense..
After that, [swordsmanship] assists..
“Sheesh! You have good skills.!”
Godner seemed to think he couldn't go any further and pushed the wooden sword away..
Since they were crossing their swords, they moved slightly away from each other..
I took advantage of that gap and quickly widened the distance between me and Gordner..
‘……Can't use vision skills.’
[Rodelin and Luna's vision skills imitated with [Imitation of God].
But if you use another family's arcane technology, there will be an uproar..
Vision technology isn’t called vision technology for nothing..
‘Moreover, if you use vision technology calibrated to Class A,…….’
Gordner will disappear without a trace..
[There was also [Demon Art], but if you used it, it would have been perfect to get roasted like a whole chicken..
“Cough. what. Was everything you did up until now just a bluff? This is a guy who hits goals..”
“……Hehe, you are free to be mistaken..”
“If you wanted to raise the price, you should have done it in moderation! I didn't like you from the beginning!”
Kak! kagak!
Gordner's offensive continued..
Still, it wasn't as difficult to block as before. because…….
‘It's fluttering..’
The movements also became bigger and more flashy. The reason is obvious.
Teron and his subordinates, Charon and the students from the advanced class, etc..
He was showing off his skills to them..
‘Brilliantly knocks out 3rd place in the entrance exam. It must be so irritating that children can't stand it..’
Of course, from my perspective, this is such childish behavior that I can't bear to open my eyes and watch..
Well, it's nice because I have time to think..
“Haaap!!”
A spectacular attack that spins around in the air and slams down..
I calmly organized my thoughts while avoiding attacks that were clearly visible..
