chapter 31
31 – 1. Academy (31)
#31
Obviously, I used the crow to move in the direction of Heroine No. 1, But this guy was caught up in the incident at a distance from the others.
It’s not an event NPC that can be randomly encounted in any field, what the hell is it really? Nothing was going the way I intended, so my head was pounding.
“What is it really…”
“Cow?”
There was no one to answer my question.
Hive himself is bobbing his head because he doesn’t know the cause. Ask someone this. At that time, a shadowy crow that had been submerged in Ban Tae-woong’s shadow popped out and approached me. The boy lowered his head as if he had no face.
Ah, I know roughly what it is. The crow did its job. I induced Ban Tae-woong according to my order, but it seems that he himself chewed it and moved. Anyway, the librarian is like a natural disaster who causes trouble.
‘What’s wrong with you?’
Swept the embarrassing Shadow Crow’s neck to convey that he didn’t care. Perhaps the goddess of the duck had a strange futter.
A guy who is unnecessarily obtuse to the point where he can’t even understand what’s being whispered right next to him, he listens to people’s screams and sad sounds with great enthusiasm. Is it to the point where I doubt that there is such a skill?
“Offer!!!”
“The power to defile the light!!!”
“aaa!!!! It’s dark!!!”
Looking at the guys who shouted so excessively, they were doing fanaticism to the point that I wondered if they belonged to that kind of organization from the beginning.
The problem is that the way he speaks is third-rate, but his skills are close to first-rate. There is no restraint in the way he randomly fires magic and sword skills, as if he wasn’t in class A with his form, but his firepower is certain.
Thanks to the mental pollution, they didn’t even take care of their own bodies, and they drew out and used their mana as much as they could. As time passed, their health was noticeably deteriorating, so even Ban Tae-woong couldn’t attack easily. .
In this case, the problem is that Ban Tae-woong is too strong.
Barrier cells are interlocked through the wearer’s magical energy. That’s why, if you make a mistake while your mana is depleted, you may be attacked and seriously injured before the barrier cell even activates.
In normal times, I would announce the end of the match and the medics would come and treat me, but I can’t hope for that in the current situation. So, in order to prevent an unexpected situation, they are trying hard to block and block attacks.
‘You’re foolish’
I think it’s okay to get scars on my body because I think of others first. In fact, there is no feeling of rolling more because your body is strong.
I’d rather run away. Seeing him do that to protect someone he had never seen before, not even an acquaintance, made me sigh.
I told you not to do things that overflow your hands, but because he’s like that, my work keeps increasing. Can’t we please live quietly? If there is no commotion, the world will not perish. The real curse came out.
“Let’s go…”
“Kong”
What can I do? Eventually I’ll have to deal with it. Unlike Ban Tae-woong, I don’t really care if those bastards turn into crippled vegetative people. In the first place, that kind of thing happened because those bastards are idiots who can’t stand mental contamination.
No matter how unwillingly they were, there is no change in their hostility towards someone. What has already happened cannot be taken back.
‘So, spend your whole life atone and live. f*ck you guys’
The hive floated in the air and Raoul moved her body. The target is a wizard who uses magic from behind. I pulled out the sword of shadow and changed it to a bow at the same time.
Then, as soon as they filled up their mana, they attacked the land where they were not.
Ping!
The arrow shot quickly hit the ground before Ban Tae-woong could even react, even though he noticed it because it contained magic.
Quaaang!!!
“Aagh!?”
The ground exploded, scattering stone fragments everywhere. Because of that, most of the guys who were preparing for magic lost concentration and collapsed, and furthermore, those who were not in the range of dust scattered and missed Ban Tae-woong’s location.
The trigger conditions for [Sadism] And [Torture] Are limited to acts that I personally did. It’s a skill that seems tricky at first glance, but from a different perspective, it’s also very convenient.
“Light!! A trick of light aaa!!!”
“The darkness… Rumbles?! Ah, it hurts…!”
Just because I did it myself, the effect is contagious in that way, no matter how far away it is.
Of course, this is only if I have the will to use the skill, but looking at the results, it means that I can feed an attack that causes pain like crazy even with the slightest touch without the help of poison or drugs.
From the point of view of being victimized, it would be crazy and jumping, but let’s say it’s good because I like it.
I don’t know why people don’t use it when there is such a good combination of skills. At least, I don’t remember seeing anyone with this skill set around me. Maybe the acquisition conditions are very strict.
‘Should I seriously think about acquiring resistance skills?’
If you feel that kind of pain without warning, no matter how much I do, I can’t help but focus on the other side. Usually, resistance to this type of skill can be obtained by experiencing and enduring it in one’s own body.
I got chills from imagining that I had no choice but to harm myself. Once you put a shadow on it, it is possible to defend quite a few things by strengthening it with magical power, so if possible, try to push it back.
“Go”
I moved Graul so as not to be pinpointed by other guys, and at the same time fired arrows while repeating the change of sword and bow.
I wanted to attack them directly and get rid of all the bugs, but I thought Ban Tae-woong would be afraid to say sh*t about not being able to save him, so I gave up. I’m thinking of requesting rescue outside, so let’s look at it with a half voice.
“Rush”
“Kong!!”
At some point where the wizards were organized, I changed my bow to a halberd and charged. At the same time, the shadow crows of the hive began to descend in large numbers. The target is the guys who were aiming for Ban Tae-woong.
“Caw! Aww!”
“What the hell is this guy?!”
“Keep it off…! It hurts!! Let go of my head, you bastard!”
As a large number of crows began to obscure and obstruct their vision in an instant, they began to wield their weapons in all directions to drive them away.
The flow of one-sided attacks toward Ban Tae-woong was cut off in an instant due to maneuvers such as cleverly targeting the gap to make him lose his balance or inducing attacks in the opposite way so that his colleagues attack each other. Ban Tae-woong, breathing heavily and breathing heavily, looked at me and nodded.
I checked it and swung his halberd at the body of the guy right in front of me.
Boom!!
“Ok?!”
Graul’s charge hit the pit of the stomach with a full swing that contained my strength.
The guy with both legs floating in the air flew backwards and landed on top of the other guy. He was a guy who used swords, so he was big, so it was enough to crush the two people who had one eye on the shadow crow from behind.
“Shinwoo!?”
Frightened by that appearance, Ban Tae-woong shouted. What is the boy so afraid of?
“Don’t make a fuss because if you hit it right, you won’t die!”
Then I changed his halberd into a stick, aimed at the body of the guy who was aiming at me, and lifted it into the sky as if to push it away and knocked him down, head first. A normal person’s neck will be snapped, but an awakened person won’t die.
f*ck!!
“Ahhh?!”
The guy who fell down with no luck and got his head on the corner of his gaiters, grabbed his head and rolled like crazy before disappearing as it oxidized into light. He didn’t hit very hard, but it seems that he was the one whose barrier cell gauge was low from the beginning.
“Did you see it!?”
“Uh…Mmm”
Ban Tae-woong made an expression of dismay at the appearance I showed him, but he also led his sword into the scabbard and began swinging it like a club to get a feel for it.
“Is this enough?”
Then, at the moment when his hands became numb to a certain extent, a light in a combination of gold and black shone from his body, and at the same time, Ban Tae-woong’s body moved forward as if sliding.
f*ck! Blah!!
“Ok?!”
“hahahaha!”
Ban Tae-woong, who was able to find the pluses and minuses thanks to my sample, slammed the guys into the air one after another like fish in water. Of course, those who flew into the air were enveloped in light and retired before they even fell to the ground.
I was dumbfounded because it looked like watching a hack and slash game. No matter how much their mana is squeezed to the limit, I wonder if it’s right to blow away the students of the famous Sunrise Academy like that.
If you look closely, you can see that he was defending with his sword in line with the attack the opponent swung at the Shadow Crow at high speed, then immediately counterattacking. In other words, they are doing the painstaking work of deliberately receiving attacks and countering them.
The problem is that the process is so fast that it looks like he is simply swinging a sword.
‘Crazy’
It was clear that the main character was getting stronger day by day.
Guys like Reus have been raised since childhood under the family, so they can show that much potential, but this guy is just getting stronger without anything else.
The process of making adjustments one by one by looking directly at the adjustment and subtraction from before was rapidly shortening.
I wondered if that was a talent. I was an idiot for saying sh*t against the goblins to shoot a bow.
I won’t be outdone either. Using combinations that make it easy to stun and blow enemies away, such as shields, rods, halberds, and blunt weapons, I attacked the ones that were relatively easy to defeat one after another and moved toward the place where the flag was located.
Arriving at the flag of Class A located in the center of the place where you can see the traces for building a position, I put my hand on the flag.
Pazu
With a momentary noise, a 10-second timer started flowing over the flag. In an instant, everyone’s eyes were on me. No matter how contaminated the mind is and how it is guided by something similar to hypnosis, the basic way of thinking itself does not change.
“Ah, the flag! Ugh… No, I have to protect the darkness… Keuug…”
“Sacrifices, flags!! I’m so depressed!!!”
“Watch out!!! Protect our darkness!!!”
Is this a way to gradually change perceptions like this? The flag is important, so when the priority changed in an instant, it was replaced with darkness.
Belatedly, those who grabbed their heads or regained their dazed minds started running towards me, but it was already too late. 10 Seconds ended thanks to the kindness of buying time to change my perception.
[Someone has obtained Class A’s flag.]
[If you succeed in carrying the flag to the camp, all members of Class A will be defeated!]
[Your location will be briefed to all students in Class A from now on.]
The flag-shaped marker of Class A was placed above my head. In response to that fact, the guys who had just been running towards Ban Tae-woong started screaming in anger and glaring at me.
“Kill it!!!”
“You dare the darkness!!! O mighty darkness!!! Save the darkness!!!”
“Hit!! Hit him hard!!!”
Judging by the appearance of attacking as if it had been promised, it seems that this has become quite precious. It was a part where you could roughly see what was replaced with darkness.
In a fit of madness to the point of panicking even the guy watching, I quickly evaded the attack and ran away.
“Shinwoo!”
“Don’t worry about me, crows, so join me quickly! The enemy’s target is the Archmage!”
“The Archmage…Could it be Lili?!”
If I’ve said this far, he won’t be counting anywhere else. Somehow, when the heroine is under an all-out attack, she spends her mind elsewhere.
Of course, I have no intention of being caught. It’s good because this side has the upper hand in mobility and if they catch up, they can take out even a little bit of Ban Tae-woong’s aggro. The important thing is to make Ban Tae-woong rise from this spot as soon as possible.
“Gather the sane ones and move quickly!!”
“…Ugh, I get it! You must come back!!”
With those words, Ban Tae-woong swung his sword wide and blew the guys around him into the air. As soon as it was clean, I could see the guys who had not been seen in the crowd until now.
‘Is that woman’
What Ban Tae-woong wanted to protect even though he was so tired. Those were the injured class A people.
In front of him, a woman with blue hair, who was deploying a shield with a stone scepter with a cross embedded in it as if to protect everyone, stood out.
‘Performance is good.’
As if it had the effect of recovery at the same time as the shield, the soft light of recovery was constantly flowing to the injured. Furthermore, looking at the fact that he even gave some kind of buff to Ban Tae-woong, it seems that he is quite talented.
I thought it was too strong for some reason, but I see it was being buffed.
Ban Tae-woong’s party is the only dealer. Of course, the overall balance is not bad, but the holding power was not good. But if that woman gets in the middle, things will change.
Was this job to fill the gap of a healer? Or is it the likability event for Heroine No. 2?
…I don’t know.
What is certain is that she is just as worthy of sacrifice as Lili.
‘I’ll have to look into this later.’
I remembered the face. Seeing that the woman’s gaze is not on me, but on the mark above my head, it must mean class A. If you join anyway, there will be a chance to talk even if you don’t want to, so it’s better to move quickly this way.
“Let’s start with the next flag!”
“Kahah!!”
I hurried the hive and made my way quickly through the forest. I intercepted the guys who caught up with me in the middle with a bow, or stabbed them, and retrieved the flags by pushing them with a stick. Perhaps because there was no Ban Tae-woong, there were not as many people as A, so I was able to break through enough by myself.
“You!! What are you doing in this situation…”
“I don’t have time, you bastard!!”
Paak!
“Kwaaa!!?!
On the way, I found an alliance of sane people, and after seeing the flags hanging on me, I used To strengthen my magic power, then changed my weapon into a gauntlet and punished the guy who attacked me with all my might by striking me in the face.
The guy who was wriggling while holding on to his sunken face probably had a broken nose passed out and disappeared in the light, but he knew something. At that moment, the garbage that couldn’t even defend it just disappeared.
I was stunned by that appearance, gave them crows and told them to join me, and left the crazy guys who followed me behind. Maybe it’s because he’s exhausted from forcing himself to follow me, so he should be able to catch it easily.
Thanks to that, there was a lot of noise from behind, but seeing as I didn’t kill the Shadow Crow I passed over, they probably figured out what my intentions were.
[Your location will be briefed to all students in Class F from now on.]
Thanks to those who used them as bait along the way, I was able to safely take the flag of Class F. With this, the map function was opened to all classes except S class.
As it is, if I move to the place where S class is, everyone will naturally gather in one place. Even if it’s rotten, if you’re an academy cadet, you’re sure to take care of the crazy bastards rather than the sane ones.
“…f*cking hard”
It would be nice if the anti-star war ended like this, but as long as that magic circle floating in the sky is in good health, that would be impossible. At least until Lili dismantles that magic circle, she has to roll in this hellish place.
At the end of Class F, it was virtually no different from a zombie gang. If it wasn’t fortunate that they were weak, it would have been impossible to pass over something that could inform the internal situation and get them out.
Since the numbers were chattering, they poured out endlessly and there was no time to rest. No matter how much I add or subtract, I am also human. Some accidentally punctured their bodies, others bent their necks at impossible angles, or even folded their waists in half.
From the middle, it became annoying to pay attention to each detail, so all I could remember was to collect pain tokens and hand over all the strengthened mana to Kalion and fire [Demi Breath] Infinitely.
I wanted to hit it with a direct hit and wipe it all out, but then I refrained from doing it because I thought it wouldn’t end with a real sound.
The body gets wet even in the drizzling rain.
I almost fell from the top of Graul several times after being hit directly by blind arrows and spells, and Hive almost died from a cleverly laid trap. When the landmine-type magic aimed at the leg with a pinpoint exploded and one of Graul’s feet flew away, his heart was truly alive.
It wasn’t once or twice that students from other classes mixed in and overcame a near-death crisis.
If my summons weren’t for those who can recover with magical powers, they’ve come out with more than enough attacks to knock them down.
There was no part of his body that did not creak, and no matter how much he tried to strengthen his mana with , He couldn’t help but feel the mental burden of squeezing his mana in order to live.
If it wasn’t for the shadow, it wouldn’t be strange if a part of it was cut off, whether it was a real arm or leg.
Even these pups didn’t hesitate to launch a friend fire, which made it even more of a headache. In the end, when he realized that he couldn’t stop me with ordinary attacks, there was even a bastard who tried to self-destruct by throwing himself at the same time as rampaging his magic power.
If I hadn’t hit him first and made him retire, he might have really died.
‘f*ck…!’
My hands trembled. In fear? No, this is anger. I really wanted to tear and kill the bastard who created this mental pollution magic circle.
No, it would be disappointing to just kill him. Please, let’s open the skin piece by piece until we beg him to kill us.
When the skin is exposed like that, salt is sprinkled there. By osmotic pressure, the internal blood is ejected and when the flesh shrinks, pour hot water and cook it.
Then the flesh is cut out again. If there is no more meat to slice, recover and repeat from the beginning.
It’s not bad to continually harass you by injecting shadows into your blood vessels. Or how about forcibly squeezing and releasing the heart repeatedly? It’s a physical thrill.
If you do it in moderation enough not to die from the effect of [Torture], You will never be killed, and you will be able to taste the pain of stirring your intestines, or you will be able to see your own talent show.
It wasn’t bad to test how far you can extract pain tokens against humans.
‘I will never kill someone gracefully.’
Okay, let’s take out the heart and burst it right in front of you.
Slowly, slowly, but with a strong squeeze, the crushing heart was finally cut off. Having made that decision, I struck the back of the head with a blunt weapon as he prepared magic to attack the castle from the other side.
Suddenly, it began to approach the base of Class S. In proportion to that, the number of people in Class A gradually increased.
I don’t know if it’s 1 vs 1, but I judged that this side was at an overwhelming disadvantage in dealing with this type of majority, so I just covered the shadows and ordered a breakthrough.
Because Hive briefed us from above, we were able to safely arrive at the S-Class.
Of course, the mark disappears as soon as you enter, so I bought time by going round and round to reduce the number of people I could hunt as much as possible.
“…Whoa”
Despite the efforts, the ice barrier began to break in half, and the castle collapsed so much that it was impossible to recognize its original shape.
But it didn’t collapse.
It’s because the white-haired kid standing firm on top of the castle wall is holding on.
“Stop!! If we break through here, we will all die!!!”
“Put magic into the catapult! Hurry!!”
“Repair the walls first!! That’s where the magic comes in!!”
Of course, Lili isn’t the only one holding out. Perhaps there was a meaning in forming a group before going out, although it was clumsy, the command system was formed and the enemies were intercepted.
Class S is holding on tight against the other classes that are constantly flocking to them.
That’s why I couldn’t back down any further. As the white-haired girl nervously lowered her hand from top to bottom, hundreds of magic circles were created in the air and at the same time transformed into ice arrows, targeting and shooting enemies.
Qua Gaga Gak!!!
Sometimes a giant wall rose up to block the oncoming attack, and a large amount of magic aimed at the wall was blocked by a violent storm. Then she met her gaze and mine.
Lili opened her eyes wide for an instant, and in the meantime frowned as if she had severely troubled her heart. Her hair, down to her waist, was disheveled as if it had been blown up in the aftermath of the battle.
Perhaps she had used too much magic, her complexion was a bit pale, but a faint smile was on her lips. Lili, chewing on the candy she had been holding in her mouth as she was, reached out her hand into the air and began constructing a magic circle around her.
It must have been really difficult to see a guy with little change in expression react like that.
“You held up well.”
Now it’s time to reap the benefits. According to the information from the hive, it’s time for them to come soon.
“Here!! The signal is here!!”
“Ugh…! Who the hell did this?!”
“Who is that! There must be one or two villains aiming for the academy?!”
“Isn’t this level of massive mental contamination at least equivalent to Or ?”
“f*ck, those are both S-class villain organizations!!!”
Those who appeared after following my target through the forest began to appear.
Just in time, Lily’s magic descended from the sky. As magical crystals fell like pure white snowflakes, they divided the border between the enemy and the ally, and made a road that led directly to the castle.
Those who received momentum from that quickly began to join S Class.
“Shinwoo! I’ve gathered them all!!”
In front of them was Ban Tae-woong, who had returned home in gold, accompanied by everyone. With this, all the learners gathered. Now that the main character has arrived, all that remains is to sort out this damn situation.
I frowned as I looked at the ominous magic circle in the sky that was bigger than before.
