chapter 38
38. Udangtangtang Sports Festival (1)
─This is Point A. At least four robbers, two hostages. As soon as the battle at point B is over, request to join.
Eleanor’s voice came through the communicator in my ear.
Even if it is a formalized tone like a report, it is now possible to communicate quite smoothly.
It’s a flaw that even that is limited to classes, but I didn’t want much in the first place.
“Point B. I will finish the battle soon and join you.”
If the briefing was done properly, I wouldn’t be able to lose with this combination.
It was the same no matter how much he got out of the green forest and entered into the theme of ‘urban warfare’.
Eleanor’s performance dropped a bit, but she was strong nonetheless, and I was stronger than her.
Koo-ung!
I stepped on the asphalt road and stretched out my power toward the monster that was charging in front of me.
In this urban warfare class, the monster, the orc warrior, is in charge of raiding the city.
In fact, it is a monster that often appears in dungeon breaks, and it is suitable for interpersonal training for cadets as well as urban combat.
Also, it was the last one left.
─Queueek!
The orc, who lost his comrades in an instant, screamed and swung the glaive in his hand.
However, the fist wrapped in strong energy shattered the metal blade at once.
Kwajik-!
Even the head of the orc beyond the glaive was smashed at once.
His corpse crumbled to the ground, along with the rest of his comrades.
‘Clear 20 Orc warriors with this.’
All that was left was a hostage rescue operation that was carried out concurrently with the interception of the air raid on the city.
I started the communicator and said.
“Point B, battle over. I’ll be there in ten seconds.”
—… … what? how many seconds?
Perhaps the time was shorter than expected, Eleanor’s panicked voice was heard.
Although the distance between the points was quite long, I was able to get there in enough time.
After recalling the route to the target point, he operated the Tunshin Gigong.
“I’m leaving now, soon.”
After repeating the message, I activated the wings of the god of war.
The horse had wings, and beam saber-like beams emanated from its back.
Weiying-
I thought as I felt the sensation and sound of my energy being burned in an instant.
This is so damn bad fuel economy.
It was not a good thing to write continuously for a long time.
I can’t even fly
However, if limited to a short period of time, this one was great.
‘Physical strengthening and energy circulation assistance.’
Simply put, the firepower has become filthy.
Quadruped! As the asphalt he stepped on caved in, he leaped at the same time.
——Flyed through the air.
high altitude.
A cool breeze blows all over your body.
Falling to the ground afterwards is a scientifically proven fact, but it is sometimes called superhuman because it can transcend such laws.
Dooung-
Empty space (虛空踏步).
Stepping on empty space, I took another leap.
Then, it was in a much higher position than the rooftop of the nearby small building.
It wouldn’t hurt to go over there, but I kicked the side wall of a slightly taller building to cut the travel time as much as possible.
In fact, if it was a building in the city center, it would have to be compensated, but it didn’t matter because it was the school’s budget.
Kwaaang—!
In the middle of the flight, it flies by kicking off the wall of a building to change its direction.
It is a matter of course that flying while maintaining acceleration is faster than falling while relying solely on gravity.
I had a good reason for kicking the wall of the building.
Quaang! Quaang!
After hitting the wall of the building two or three more times, I quickly reached the target point in the sky.
Point A—Operation Hostage Rescue.
A situation in which various structures are placed in an empty lot facing a golem acting as a robber.
Among the dogs, Eleanor, who had exceptionally good presence detection, suddenly raised her head and met my gaze.
Her eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
Feeling somehow proud, I pointed my finger at the golem holding the two hostages.
Tanji Gong (彈指功).
It was an action that I didn’t do well due to the consumption of internal energy, but there was no surprise attack that was as good as this.
He blew energy into the fragments of the glaive he picked up earlier and snapped his fingers.
“It’s bread.”
Caang! In an instant, a hole appeared in the golem’s temple, and the body tilted.
Eleanor, who grasped the situation faster than anyone else, exclaimed urgently.
“──Rush!”
After that, things were simple.
If there were no hostages, it would be easy to deal with a robber—a golem that was less than a warrior at its peak.
The robbers were subdued in an instant, and the hostage role was safely rescued thanks to the two members who entered from the front and me from the sky.
‘It’s going well.’
At this rate, at least the ‘Basic Combat Guidance Theory’ lecture seemed to get a perfect score.
Yes, if it goes like this.

“Okay, here you go.”
Class 3—Surado and everyone gathered in the classroom as soon as class ended.
There was some feedback about the practice right before, but rather it was because of the upcoming event.
Next week the sports meet will be held.
in the form of a half-fight.
“soccer! I’m looking for someone to play soccer with~”
“No basketball! basketball!”
Whereas ordinary sorcerers were gloomy and liked expensive things, those who practiced martial arts were energetic and had a strong desire to compete.
In the form of class competition, if the school side even puts an injury, the motivation will pierce the sky.
I imagined the cadets at their peak running across the lawn and kicking balls with superhuman abilities.
‘The goalkeeper will die the most.’
He would have to block several more destructive attacks than shells.
I don’t know who will do it, but since soccer is one of the sports with high scores, shouldn’t someone trustworthy be in charge?
While I was thinking, Chun Yu-ha tapped me on the shoulder and asked.
“Have you thought about what to do?”
“I wonder if I could do anything.”
“Oh, yes.”
To be honest, I don’t have a lot of motivation, but because of the rule that I must participate in more than one event, I had to put my name on the list first.
So what should I participate in?
After all, basketball is a sport where you use your hands, so it must be comfortable.
While thinking about it, Cheon Yu-ha grabs a clerk who was passing by and says this.
“Chun Yu-ha, Choi Kang-jun, and Eleanor, please write the three of us in soccer.”
“what?”
“her? Whoever wants-!”
Eleanor, who was quietly sitting next to Chun Yu-ha, on the other side of me, screamed with a startled expression.
Likewise, there seemed to be no agreement at all.
Meanwhile, the sorceress, who has recently become very clever, said calmly, blinking her eyes.
“Hey, Eleanor. Didn’t you say it was fun while watching a soccer game before? I said I would like to try it at least once.”
“… … No, that and this are completely different. Anyway, I can’t, so cancel… … .”
“Yes, first of all Cheon Yoo-ha, Choi Kang-jun, and Eleanor. These three people wrote it down in football.”
However, Eleanor was arrogant at the sight of the clerk immediately writing it down on the list.
I have to participate in at least one event anyway, but it looks like I’m taking too much energy. It would be easier if I just gave up and went in like I did.
“Oh, and Kang Joon. You play goalkeeper.”
“… … what? I’m going to be a striker.”
“No, not for the sake of victory. You are not a striker.”
“Am I not a striker?”
“Yes.”
He shook his head and spoke in a confident voice.
“You are better suited to be a goalkeeper than a striker… … !”
sh*t, you look like you’re going to be able to block a soccer ball with your age.
‘Wait, might it be surprisingly okay?’
When I thought about it, I accepted it because I thought it would be cool to have a goalkeeper with an impregnable wall that doesn’t score a single goal.
With the participation of the three of us confirmed, the cadets around us were agitated.
“The best of our class has gathered on the soccer team.”
“The championship cup is certain.”
“First of all, since I ate soccer, how should I do well in basketball and baseball, which have the next highest scores… … ”
The athletic meet hasn’t even been held yet, but we’ve already won the soccer championship.
Apparently, kimchi soup is not something you can only drink in Korea.
‘Well, he’s a member whose losing is more strange.’
In fact, it was because the top 3 members of our class participated.
so-called maximum power.
It was rather difficult to fall off too easily.
Yes, since it happened like this, it didn’t seem too bad to aim for MVP at all.
‘The goalkeeper of the iron wall, Choi Kang-jun sortie.’
Many happy families were in progress, but all of them were possible only if terrorism was prevented.
In fact, in my previous life, there was a terrorist attack during a sports event and the progress was stopped.
One transcendentalist always resides on the campus, and the reason why this happened was simple, even though the boundaries of the entire capital were strict.
there was a spy
There was a renegade between the professor and the student of Seondo. The terrorist who smuggled the bomb.
‘The problem is that I don’t know who it is.’
Well, there was a guy who was roughly expected.
It would be nice to catch and interrogate before a terrorist attack, but there must be accomplices.
Rather than not being able to deal with it because the date has changed needlessly, it would be better to strike it all at once.
It was not a one-off terrorism, but a problem that would spread worldwide, so it had to be corrected from the beginning.
This was a bridgehead for him.
belt-
At the same time as the bell in front of the door rang, from the back of the store, a bang! A roar was heard.
‘… … What the hell, every time I come, something happens inside.’
A flurry of emotions welled up, but after waiting for a while in front of the counter without expressing it, a blonde-haired alchemist came out in a gasp.
“… … Heo-eok, hee-uh, stuff… Done, that’s it… !”
I wanted to ask about specific performance or a sample right away, but I waited with a little patience because it looked like I would die soon if I made a mistake.
Ellie, the owner of the general store, put her hand on my chest and continued to breathe deeply, then returned to a normal heartbeat and continued.
“Currently, the recipe is elaborated so that there is no error in quality, and the production volume seems to be able to make about 10 bottles a day.”
“Twenty bottles.”
“… … yes?”
“Ten bottles are not enough, so I would like 20 bottles a day.”
“… … .”
Even otherwise, the haggard alchemist frowned and said, ‘What is this son of a b*tch talking about?’ The same gaze was thrown at me.
“… … Did you throw it once?”
“No, I’m not trying to force it, but what do I really lack? If you just try a little harder-”
“Teacher, if I try harder, I will really die.”
Ellie hurriedly cut off her words and her eyes widened.
At the moment, it was suspected that he was using tricks to raise the ransom, but he accepted it without hesitation because it seemed that he was really likely to die.
Yes, grinding alone is not enough.
Having made that decision, I picked up the terminal and contacted an acquaintance who could use magic.
—Ah, this is Lucia?
A super-special talent who can use holy magic—material.
“Angel, we have an exciting discovery ahead of us, are you willing to participate now?”
─Of course!
It seemed like it could be used as a substitute for the magic shuttle and holy water.
‘The budget will be further reduced.’
I nodded my head in satisfaction.
***
After that, the preparation period of one week passed quickly.
Finally, the long-awaited day has arrived.
Puff-puff-pung-!
At the same time as the magic of the shaman’s graduate students exploded in the air, the leading sports competition began.
