Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 97
Episode 97
97fury. First boss, Lein(15)
“Big, big, big.……!!”
The dust cleared and Leain emerged..
He was breathing heavily with his magic sword stuck in the ground..
‘As expected.’
[Ilsum] I didn’t expect to die from one hit..
As mentioned earlier, [Illumination] is weak due to insufficient stats compared to the level..
Of course, it is still a skill that is rated A-level as [Imitation of God], so it is quite powerful against opponents of this level..
‘First, the first goal has been achieved..’
[[Slash] to inflict great damage and reduce Lein’s stats..
My goal is not to kill, but to make people repent..
The limbs must be moderately disabled. That way, there will be more time to talk..
So what about the secondary goal??
“Uh, how…….”
Lein muttered in disbelief..
“How can you use Ilseom?!!”
Well, I think I achieved my secondary goal as well..
‘Giving ‘mental shock’. This was the secondary goal.
With this, the foundation for repentance has been successfully laid..
Now all that remains is the third and final goal.
‘Let Lein use the Fleur family's swordsmanship, and I will use that swordsmanship to defeat Lein..’
If only the goal of.
We will be able to successfully bring Lein to repentance..
“Answer me! hurry!”
Lein shouted loudly without even thinking about taking care of himself..
[The fact that I used [Ilseom] rather than the physical damage I received from [Ilseom].
Even Leuin used something bigger and more beautiful than his own strokes..
Rather, I was completely distracted by it..
“Hehe, isn’t Ilsom not exclusive to Teacher Lein?.”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … Hahahaha!!”
Suddenly, Lein started laughing out loud..
At some point, it stopped and I looked at it with a straight face..
“what? Why not learn swordsmanship from a prestigious family? In the end, aren't you the same? Don't you use and rely on the swordsmanship of the Leicester family, a famous family among famous families?!”
In the end, I too am just an imitator..
I am in no position to discipline others..
That's what Lein said. but.
“different.”
“……It's different?”
“yes. Master Lein, don’t you still think that the swordsmanship of a prestigious family is the best? but i don't think so.”
The beginning and end of swordsmanship are the same.
Only the middle is different.
“A little while ago, you told me to follow what my senior said.?”
“…….”
“The path of imitation. As someone who walked that path first and has seen the end, I would like to give you some advice..”
You are wrong, Lein. At the end of imitation.
“nothing exists.”

Knock knock-.
Leger opened the box lid and carefully looked around..
About 15 minutes passed after Zero disappeared..
But nothing has changed here.
The children, including senior Rodelin, have not yet come out of the building..
The unidentified portal that swallowed Zero also disappeared somewhere and never reappeared..
and.
“…….”
Luna, who was sitting as still as a pumice stone, did not change either..
Luna just continues to look at the place where Zero disappeared..
It might turn into a real stone..
“I, I… … Miss Luna. This, this... … Please eat.”
Leger handed over his snack..
Carrot flavored potato chips. It was Leger's favorite snack..
“huh? thank you. I'll eat well.”
Whisper…….
Crunch rustle!
For a moment, Luna frowned..
“what is this? It's a carrot?”
“Yes, it's delicious.?”
“……First of all, it's not my taste.”
Leger's head dropped..
There were too many people in this world who hated carrots..
‘It’s so delicious, why on earth??’
It was a gloomy day again today..
“Hey, over there... … Miss Luna.”
“Yes why?”
“Well, can I ask you something??”
“ask.”
“Why, why didn't you come in with me? Oh, I'm so worried…….”
Leger couldn't understand..
If you were going to worry about Zero this much, it would have been better to go with him..
Even if Zero expressed his refusal, Luna's strength and stubbornness would have been enough for her to go in with Zero..
But I didn't do that. Leger was genuinely curious about the reason..
“……Because we are friends.”
“yes?”
“I just trust you because you are my friend. and… … You say you will do what you want to do to grow. You have to believe it, then.”
“…….”
“are you okay. Zero will definitely come back.”
“Well, how do you know that??”
That's right.
“Because I promised.”
Promises made between friends must be kept..
That was Luna's creed and pride..
Since Zero was her friend, Luna believed that he would definitely keep his promise..
A promise to come back.
“Well, I can't help but feel a little anxious. You can't tell Zero that I was like this.?”
“yes? ah… … yes. Well, don't worry. Because I will definitely protect it.”
Luna's gaze once again turned to the place where Zero disappeared..
Leger thought as he put carrot-flavored snacks in his mouth..
I am Luna too..
‘'I would be very happy if we could be friends'.

The third secret of the Laprel clan.
Illusion Sword.
Leicester's first draw.
One island).
bump bump bump!
Kwagwagagagagagak-!
“Ugh!”
It was Lein who was pushed out this time too..
5 families and 10 special skills that Lein can use.
I've used them all once, but none of them have surpassed my [Ilsom]..
“This can’t be… … It can't be like this.!”
“…….”
“If only our family had such great swordsmanship! If only I had done that, I wouldn't have ended up like this! I wouldn't have made a contract with the devil either.!”
Lein was already in a state of mental breakdown..
‘Mojiri bastard.’
I know.
I'm dying to imitate it..
Imitation is ultimately just imitation.
It can't be real..
“What do you know! Not being born into a prestigious family is like giving up your dream of becoming a hero! No matter how hard you try, you can't match their sword skills! Like right now!”
“…….”
“I wanted to be a hero! I wanted to make a name for myself on the continent and become a hero that everyone would praise.!”
Childhood dream of becoming a hero.
i could tell.
Lein's mind was beginning to break down..
“magic sword open!”
Clumping-!
Dozens of blood vessels protruded from the magic sword and became lodged in Lein's right arm..
[magic sword open].
A skill that increases attack power by 200%, but increases encroachment rate by 0.5%.
You might think that it doesn't really matter, since it's Lein with an encroachment rate of close to 80% anyway..
“Do you mind if I kill you like this? No one will understand. No one will ever know the sacrifice you made.!”
It's too bad, but it's not for me to die. It's yours.
And what a hero is.
“That's just the way it is, Mr. Lein..”
I'm busy saving the world, but I'm also busy saving the people in front of me..
How can I be called a hero if I only take care of my own self-interest?.
I knew that very well.
From Luth and the Parrot, and.
Because I learned that from the countless heroes I encountered in this game..
“First off, one thing is clear.”
“What do you mean?!”
“You don't deserve to be a hero..”
“dog sound! don't talk shit!!”
You choose the path of a hero because you want to be praised?.
the quality is bad.
Lein swung the magic sword. The demonic energy raged like a storm and surrounded the demon sword..
‘I guess that's it for now..’
It seems that Lein has completely erased the memories of the Fleur family..
Never once did he use his sword skills..
The hidden reward is giving up..
Lein also seems to have deviated a lot from the Lein I knew. Now just.
‘Let's kill it.’
I made up my mind.
'Cause I really meant to commit my first murder.
I gave strength to the sword handle..
Leicester's first draw.
One island).
“Big, big.!!”
The magic energy in the magic sword disappeared entirely due to the wind blown by [Ilsom]..
At that level, your arms and torso will be cut off at once..
Just when I thought it was over.
Lein adjusted his sword..
Fleur's third secret.
Wings of Steel Storm.
Kuooo-!!
A flash of light sent by me.
It disappeared in an instant. As if melting into the air.
[[Ilsom] was blocked, but I didn’t feel bad.
Why? at las.
Because there is a chance to get hidden rewards.
“Hehe, take a look. In the end, you're in a hurry so roots come out, right?.”
This is probably the swordsmanship that has been honed over the longest period of time..
Since it was a situation right before death, the body must have reacted naturally..
“Shut up! How can this be called swordsmanship?!”
Lein used a draw again.
The Laprell family's secret technique of stabbing three different places at the same time.
The third secret of the Laprel clan.
Illusion Sword.
I was in danger of having a hole in my body right away, but I didn't panic at all..
[When [Ilseom] was blocked, I watched it carefully..
[Imitation of God] slot change.
[Flip the land] > [Wings of the steel storm]
Fleur's third secret.
Wings of Steel Storm.
Kuooo-!!
The illusion of the sword created by Lein melted into the sky..
At the same time.
Push shoo shoo shoo-!!
“Wow!”
Objects floating around rushed into Lein's body..
All the items caught in the wings of the storm flew to Lein..
“What is this?……!”
“Hehe, what do you think? Wings of the Steel Storm, aren't they amazing??”
“Um, that's our family's swordsmanship? There's no way I'm drawing it!”
“Why do you think that??”
“Isn’t it natural? Our family’s swordsmanship is so... … So much…….”
You might think that you can't be strong and beautiful..
This is also a technique that was eventually imitated as [Imitation of God]. It was only grade A.
S-class. What did the pinnacle of swordsmanship pursued by the Fleur family look like?.
I couldn't figure it out. Lein and me too.
Because I'm just an imitator.
“Do not lie!”
The fight has begun again.
Lein uses the Fleur family's swordsmanship, and I counter with the same one..
Long, but not boring.
That kind of time continued.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok…….”
Lein groaned with his magic sword stuck in the ground..
I can feel it. I feel like it's time for it to end.
“As I said before, an imitation can never be the real thing..”
In the end, imitation is just imitation. can't be real.
And I knew that better than anyone else.
Why??
‘Because imitating God will eventually hit the limit of A-level skills..’
[Imitation of God] fixes the grade of all imitating skills to Grade A.].
It's good at first, but it gets more and more frustrating as time goes on..
A decisive battle with the final boss. Bosses, main characters, and even supporting characters.
A fight begins with excessive use of S-class skills..
My character, whose maximum skill is Class A, changes into a role of following and supporting other characters..
so that.
‘Your growth will seem even more dazzling..’
Characters who do not break even in moments of crisis. Children growing and moving forward.
It was always shining brightly.
Yes. Everyone is given equal opportunity.
As long as you are not caught up in an inferiority complex like Mr. Lein in front of you..
“Giving up on the possibility of becoming a hero. That's right…….”
It is none other than yourself, Mr. Lein..
