A Veteran of the Hero Academy

I had to run away unconditionally by seeing the opportunity.

My underdog radar was able to bypass one or so people head-on, but I was warned strongly that I would lose if there were more.

But the opportunity never came.

They pretended to release them leisurely, but were vigilantly vigilant.

A smiling face, but someone was always watching my tent.

why didn’t you notice this

In the end, we only looked at the opportunity, and the time for the ritual was getting closer and closer.

If it’s too late, there’s no turning back.

I don’t like throwing dice on a board with a high probability of losing, but if it’s too late, even the dice will disappear.

As I entered my tent, I saw Kate, lightly dressed and sitting on the bed.

Kate found me and smiled brightly.

It’s time to smile so brightly now, you bastard.

Annoyance rose up, but it wasn’t Kate who was the object of that irritation.

“let’s go.”

I took Kate’s hand.

Kate followed me up without asking why.

I didn’t even have time to pack my stuff.

As I walked out of the tent cloth, there was a face I didn’t want to see.

“You came out just in time, maknae?”

A fox wearing a white mask spoke to me with a smirk.

My underdog radar was giving a strong warning.

You can never win against that girl.

You are exuding such a monster-like energy, why didn’t you feel it before?

It was more pressure than standing in front of the minotaur.

is that person right? From the moment the fox appeared, plans went awry.

I can’t win that.

“Huh- the youngest?”

The fox came close. The red lips exposed under the fox’s mask were curved in an arc.

The closer the fox got, the harder it was to breathe.

‘Concentrate, boy.’

“Aiden?”

Kate pulled my sleeve.

[In this case, take a deep breath.]

A noble voice whispered to me.

As the noble man said, he took a deep breath and exhaled.

When he exhaled, he cut his throat as if he was choking, but he calmed down a little.

“Yes… fox.”

He said with a lot of force in his neck to hide his trembling voice.

“It’s fun. Take the princess with you.”

The fox turned and walked.

I don’t know if it’s because they looked down on me, but they didn’t confiscate the Luna Sword from me.

I grabbed the handle of the Luna sword on my waist.

The cold air calmed my trembling heart.

The fox’s back looked so defenseless.

now?

Strength entered the hand holding the sword handle.

no.

I felt like I was going to die the moment I pulled it out.

yes not yet

If you wait, a chance will come.

Kate grabbed my trembling hand with strong force.

“it’s okay.”

Kate whispered quietly to me.

Kate met my eyes and smiled slightly.

Is he really a jerk?

Your stomach is splitting now.

“What are you doing, youngest?”

“going!”

First, I followed the fox because my stomach was more important.

Masked gangs came from here and there and followed us.

Damn, I’ll just put a sword in the back of the fox’s head.

That was my last chance.

But how many were there in this cave?

Nearly a hundred people followed us behind us.

It felt bizarre because they came without saying a word, only making footsteps.

Kate grabbed my arm and hugged me.

I felt the soft touch of Kate’s chest on my arm.

Oh last night… not even this morning.

No, this is not the time to think like this.

He bit his tongue slightly to calm himself.

Then my mind came back a little.

Kate’s body on my arm trembled slightly.

I said it was okay, but again, it was just before the knife came into the belly, and there was no way it would be okay.

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you somehow.”

Seeing Kate like that, reflexively irresponsible lines came out of my mouth.

It’s even lined with flags.

“Yeah! I trust Aiden.”

Kate smiled cutely, frowned and opened her left eye. yes this is a wink My heart fluttered at the sight.

Suddenly, we stood in front of a large door inside the cave.

I never knew there was such a door.

The fox beckoned, and the masked men behind us jumped out and pushed against the door.

A large door opened with the sound of stones being scraped.

The scenery that unfolded inside was too unrealistic.

There was a large, round space.

There was a large hole in the ceiling facing outward, and the moonlight was shining through it.

And the place where the moonlight shone was slightly higher than the surroundings, and a silvery clean altar was placed on it.

Around the altar, purple flowers of unknown names were in full bloom.

The atmosphere was so dreamy that it felt like another world.

That’s where Kate’s belly button splits.

Kate’s hand, holding my hand, grew stronger.

“Huh- are you two going to be like that all the time?”

The fox looked back at us.

What should I do?

No matter how much I rolled my stupid head, I couldn’t find an answer.

“You’re the youngest?”

There was a bit of annoyance in the fox’s voice.

I have to answer.

what?

“Are you going to do it?”

A voice with some mockery was heard.

can i do it?

It seemed that doing so could take a little more time.

“Yes. I will pick the belly of the princess! My childhood dream was human sacrifice!”

Words came out of my mouth.

“Yeah?”

The fox smiled as if satisfied.

“Yes! I really want to get Kate’s belly button!”

My voice was full of sincerity and despair.

Next to me, Kate pinched my hand.

I turned around and saw Kate staring at me.

No, this is a bummer, I have to pass it on.

“That would be fun too. Then the youngest will do it.”

The fox readily agreed.

There was some noise around him, but no one directly opposed the fox.

“Hey priest, give it to him.”

A man wearing a white mask with a lot of strange characters on his body handed me a dagger.

That’s the dagger I sharpened.

“All you have to do is lay the princess on the altar and insert the dagger.”

A thick, scratchy voice spoke calmly.

It’s simple.

Kate frowned as she glanced at Kate.

Oh, I’ll protect you Why can’t you believe

I gently swung my dagger.

Kya- this fits snugly in my hand.

The fox walked up to the altar built in the middle.

He grabbed Kate’s trembling hand and followed him up.

Masked men stood around the altar in a large circle.

They started muttering a strange language.

what do you mean shit

A fox standing next to the altar pointed a finger at the altar.

“Trust me, Aiden.”

Kate whispered quietly to me, climbed the altar herself and lay down.

Kate shivered slightly as the altar was a little cold.

I stood next to Kate lying on the altar.

The dagger was too light.

“pontiff!”

At the fox’s call, the priest came up to the altar.

The priest came up to the altar and began to beat the drum-like instrument.

The masked people around them danced around in accordance with the constant rhythm.

The masked men howled like wild beasts.

dizzy

‘Calm down, boy.’

The voice of the sword felt distant.

“^*!@&@#!!”

The priest shouted a sound like the roar of a beast toward the moon in the sky.

The masked people danced faster and faster.

“Now – the youngest.”

The fox’s voice was heard.

Hearing those words, he raised his dagger high.

The sound of the drums and the unfamiliar noises around me mixed together, making my head dizzy.

His eyes met with Kate, who was lying down.

Kate, with watery eyes, looked at me and smiled.

Now is the time to laugh, you idiot.

‘it’s okay’

Kate moved her small lips cutely.

what is ok what is ok

f*ck off.

Yeah, I’ll have to give it a try.

I just wanted to do that now.

There was no other reason.

I think it’s going to look like shit just by looking at it.

There’s no way I can beat them all.

It’s not my personality to go into a situation where I’m just going to get f*cked.

It seems that people change before they fall behind.

Was that idiot destined to fall behind with me for suddenly listening to me?

Still, dying with the princess while trying to save the princess would be ranked at the top of the list of dead warriors.

It’s much cooler than dying with a broken head by an orc.

“Close your eyes.”

said quietly to Kate.

Kate’s eyes widened and she smiled slightly and closed it.

I’m really good at listening.

The fox was a little far from the altar.

Then the closest thing is that bald priest.

Slightly shaking his buttocks while beating the drum was not so bad.

circulates energy through the body. The dizzying head has also calmed down.

The dagger in his hand was light. Was it this light?

You did a good job sharpening the dagger.

Excitedly, he threw a dagger at the back of the bald man who was beating the drum.

My dagger was pierced deep enough to hide the handle on the priest’s back.

Maybe he has a talent for throwing daggers unexpectedly? If I come back alive, I’ll have to get some daggers and carry them with me.

“aa!!!!”

From the priest’s mouth came a cry full of pain—

The silence subsided in an instant.

stop it

Raise your sword, boy!!!

A beep sounded in my mind.

I quickly pulled out my Luna sword and blocked my way.

The dagger of the fox who approached was blocked.

f*ck! what’s so fast

“Hey, did you hear anything after having a prank with our youngest princess?”

The fox’s red lips twitched.

After hearing the fox’s words, Kate swallowed the words with an ‘Ahh’.

“That… I accidentally left my hand, but if you look at it just once…”

The fox’s dagger was pushing away my Luna sword.

What kind of power is this?

The Luna sword was getting closer and closer to my shoulder.

Sending energy through his arms was no use. f*ck you.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not a person who forgives mistakes.”

The Luna Gum dug into my shoulder and lifted it.

“He who condemns.”

The fox’s voice was needlessly sweet.

The fox’s power to push my sword grew stronger.

ah! damn it hurts

“Stop! You bitch!”

A familiar voice was heard.

I don’t think the day will come after all.

***

“Why are you so smooth?”

As the motive of the next door said, there was no resistance so much that we felt embarrassed when we entered with a lot of tension.

No, there was no one there in the first place. Didn’t this come from somewhere else by mistake?

“What kind of cave is this long, Sitpal?”

As I heard from somewhere, the cave was ridiculously long.

Fatigue quickly built up from the humidity and high tension in the cave.

Glancing at the blonde and blue-haired beauty, I was sure that if I hadn’t recovered from fatigue, several people would have already fallen.

The corners of his lips twitched at the sight of him secretly looking at him once more.

“There are traces of people in the front!”

The knight sent to the advance squad came back and shouted. There were various types of tents where they arrived along with the advance team.

You must have lived here.

Tents vary in shape and size.

But no one was there.

Where have you all gone? The feeling of insecurity grew stronger and stronger.

“If you go further inside, there is a deeper cave.”

Following the advance squad, we headed deeper.

As we continued to enter the deep cave, we could finally see the enemies.

A high altar in the middle of an unrealistically beautiful space, the princess lay on the altar.

And next to him was a man fighting a woman in a mask.

“Stop! You bitch!”

Someone ran out from behind us screaming.

Red hair and a body that is about to explode.

and! How did such a heart exist in the world?

I quickly wiped the saliva flowing from my mouth.

If the captain found out about this figure… just imagining it was terrifying.

The woman who spit out a curse ran up to the altar in an instant.

But was there such a person in our group?

***

Vicky took a step in front of me and kicked the fox.

The fox pierced the dagger as it dripped off Vicky’s foot.

No matter how hard Vicky is, that’s a bit… I hurriedly picked up the Luna sword and slashed the fox’s dagger.

The fox looked at me and stepped back slightly.

Vicky stood in front of me confidently. My sister is cool!

“Are you okay?”

I almost burst into tears at Vicky’s friendly voice.

That bitch was trying to kill me, damn it.

The fox turned her head and looked around.

There were soldiers in armor that looked like they were standing near the entrance.

The armor was uniform in silver and had a sun mark on it.

Oh, I guess that’s the Imperial Knights.

yes f*ck!

The princess was kidnapped, and of course the Imperial Knights must come to the rescue.

“Ha! f*ck you! You’re behind now!”

I poked my head out of Vicky’s back and yelled at the fox.

Vicky’s body trembled slightly as he touched my hand.

“My fox got f*cked! f*cked! f*cked!”

I raised the middle fingers of both hands and waved them at the fox.

When the fox saw me like that, he grinned and moved a little further away from us.

What’s with that relaxed attitude?

“Aiden!”

“Aiden!”

At the sound of calling me, I looked closely between the knights and saw Andrea and Kiana.

no why are you there

“I’m here to save you!”

Kiana smiled brightly and waved her hand.

Well, it’s safe now.

I also raised my hand to Kiana and said hello.

A short-looking grandfather stood next to Kiana, staring at me with terrifying eyes.

Why are you staring at me like that? Still, I wasn’t afraid because I thought I was going to win because I was a grandfather.

Oh follow!

I was excited to say hello, but someone pinched me from behind and turned around to see Kate staring at me.

ah! It’s going to be tough, so you don’t understand the situation yet.

I decided to explain the situation kindly for the sake of the idiot.

“The Imperial Knights must have come to rescue you. Now you are alive.”

I spoke with full of joy in being alive.

“…Who is it?”

Kate pointed her finger at Vicky in front of me.

“Ah! Vicky. We’re academy students.”

“Ah… that beauty…”

I hurriedly shut Kate’s mouth.

“Huh- There were a lot more people than expected, but well. Let’s start.”

The fox spoke in a tone not impatient at all.

Hey, I still don’t understand. f*ck you guys, f*ck you!

But my body hid behind Vicky at the voice of the fox.

As soon as the fox finished speaking, the bald priest, who had fallen with a dagger in me, abruptly stood up.

What the f*ck wasn’t it?

The bald priest got up from his seat and started beating the drum like crazy.

The insidious song and dance of the past started again.

damn something is weird

The frustrated imperial knights were just staring at them like idiots.

It feels weird just looking at it, but you have to stop it, you assholes.

When I was about to shout because I couldn’t overcome the frustration, the song stopped.

A heavy silence fell on the space-

A creepy sound filled the space, and the masked people’s bodies grew bigger and bigger.

what the f*ck

Finally, his clothes were torn, and his body, covered in white fur, began to come out.

f*ck that shit.

“f*ck Ami! They’re crazy werewolves, damn it!”

Without realizing it, I shouted out loud.

As if my words were a signal, the werewolves howled, ‘Oops!

There were many rumors about werewolves, the most famous of which was that ‘werewolves under the full moon are invincible.’

I glanced up to see the moon through the cave ceiling.

please please…

full moon?

Amy’s hair is round.

Werewolves breathed heavily.

The fox did not change in appearance like other werewolves, but had soft-looking tails on its back.

Their tails fluttered in the sky.

I quietly lowered my stops that I had boasted to the fox.

“Where did the dog smell come from?”

Vicky said in a voice full of interest.

“Huh, does it smell like a lizard?”

Ironically, the tone of the fox and Vicky were strangely similar.

Vicky’s forehead frowned as if he felt it too.

“We’re a little far apart.”

Vicky lifted my hand from his waist.

“Your sister.”

quietly stepped back

Vicky and the fox faced off.

bang-! With a sound, the ground where the two met went hollow.

As if that was a signal, a fight started everywhere.

The hall quickly turned into an abyss.

The Imperial Knights drew their swords and faced the werewolves.

To protect Kate, I drew the Luna sword and looked around.

Fortunately, no werewolves have come up to us yet.

Kate pinched my waist again.

“Aww! What the f*ck!”

Startled, he looked at Kate.

“Why does that woman call Aiden a pervert?”

Kate lowered her voice and looked at me sullenly.

“Um… something like that happened”

My voice became smaller without realizing it.

“What!!!”

Kate swung her fist at me.

Next to it, a terrifying sound was heard, a werewolf biting a man’s neck.

Blood splattered everywhere.

No, now is not the time for this.

“What! You’re asking!”

Kate kept waving her fists as if she didn’t care at all.

He slightly dodged his fists and grabbed Kate’s waist behind her back, immobilizing her. Kate, who resisted, stopped moving.

“…do you like those ignorantly large breasts…”

Kate mumbled softly.

You too have an ignorantly large chest. Of course, Vicky was bigger.

But that’s not what’s important now.

At that moment, his eyes met the grandfather who had cut down two werewolves at once.

Wow, what the f*ck is that grandpa? damn old

It was truly overwhelming strength.

I must be polite to that grandfather.

Could this be enough to survive…?

My grandfather made eye contact and pointed at me with his finger.

“Yes?”

Grandpa nodded as I pointed my finger at me.

My grandfather, who fixed his gaze on me, lightly slashed a werewolf running behind his back with his sword and pretended to cut his throat with his thumb.

It was the first gesture he had seen, but what he was trying to say was clear.

i will kill you

damn why are you doing this to me
