chapter 2
2 – Caught?
[ In the beginning, the God of Light and the God of Chaos fought over the land. The Chaos God was finally defeated. ]
[ He cursed as he was kicked out. The curse of not being able to escape from chaos forever. ]
[ The curse became the source of the ‘Tower’. With the appearance of the tower, the Witchbeast appeared in the world. ]
[ The god of light scattered his power and sent down the warriors. To erase the curse, the tower! ]
“….”
Yeah, it’s the same up to this point. Nothing wrong with what I knew.
The source of the monsters that disturb the world is the tower, so the tower must disappear.
As well as the part where the god of light sprinkled the power and released the warriors.
[ Only one warrior can destroy the tower. ]
It’s impossible to form a team, and it’s also the same that only one hero can enter.
[ If you don’t succeed, the world will be reduced to ashes by chaos! ]
If you don’t do it, the world will be destroyed by the curse!
‘By the way. But why in the world can’t even one of them come except for Enlil?’
Leon closed the book and took a deep breath as if to calm down his anger.
One, two. Whoa. One two… f*ck this. I get mad just thinking about it again.
Your world is destined to be torn to shreds by a curse!
What the hell are you doing! Aren’t they straight?! Can you show me the real destruction ending?
The place where Leon, who used to swear all kinds of swear words and grind his teeth, is sitting on the throne of the tower, not the throne.
A place about an hour away from the islands by carriage.
The starting line for candidates to gather, hone their skills, and finally advance to the top.
It was a grandiose ‘Hero Academy’ from the name.
As soon as the restraints were lifted, I left the tower and ran to this place.
Why did you suddenly come to the academy? The reason was the temporary sign hanging over there.
– Warrior Academy Instructor Recruitment Test Center –
What are you most curious about right now? Why can’t the warriors come before him?
If you look at history, all the towers that have appeared so far have been destroyed by warriors.
It took 30 years at the longest, or 10 years at the shortest.
But why, at the time you possessed, one enlil is all you have for 100 years!
‘If you retry for 100 years, at least a few of them should enter the boss room.’
Because of this, Leone wanted to check ‘how the hero is being nurtured.’
And from that point of view, an academy instructor was a very good option.
It’s even better if you pass on the know-how to defeat yourself without even knowing it.
‘… By the way, what is this? Is it a test for hiring instructors? What’s so weak?’
That wasn’t a point. Leon’s standards are not excessively high.
Looking at it objectively, the level of those who came to take the instructor test was too low.
First of all, the placenta doesn’t know how to handle mana effectively.
If you look at your body condition, you can see that more than half of the mana in your body is active right away.
It’s hard to kill even the monsters outside the tower at once, let alone yourself.
Mana is the foundation of the world. It can be said to be the source of life.
And its essence is purity itself. It is in conflict with the Witch Beast, a creature of chaos.
You need to know how to handle that mana properly in order to attack the beast and the tower.
In the first place, even the beings called ‘heroes’ are grandiose, but they are those who have received the power of the god of light.
To put it more realistically, they are better at managing mana than others.
It can be said that it is a word that refers to such special forces.
‘Mana management is that important. But what is the level of the instructor in charge of those heroes?’
This is beyond staggering and absurd, and even worrisome.
Yes. Nobody else, but Leon and the owner of the tower, are worried about the level of the hero!
In the world, how different is the reality from what you expected?
I’m starting to get anxious because I’m really going to go down the route of the world’s destruction.
“Queuck.”
A man sitting across from him looked at Leone and started laughing.
With that kind of look in his eyes, with an obvious meaning of ridicule.
“Yeah. The level of the warrior academy must have really dropped. Even that dark-haired foreign country guy should qualify for the instructor exam.”
For your reference, there are many people with black hair in the Empire.
It’s just that most of them are descendants of northern peoples incorporated into the empire.
If that’s not the case, it’s just a handful of foreigners from across the sea.
There were quite a few cases of hearing bad things about having black hair.
That man was arguing for the same reason.
‘What are you saying, blonde beast?’
Of course, there was no single reason for Leon to respond to the provocation.
The man who quarreled is weaker than his own snot.
Where is the human who fights while swearing that a fly will come and start a fight?
A person like that should respond to it while blushing.
“Hey. Can’t you understand the Empire? Did you even cross the sea to make money? Seeing his smooth face, he seems to have acted as a male prostitute, but prostitutes should go a little farther from here.”
I came from across the world while playing games, you f*cking bastard. And no interest in gay clubs.
The word
Lingered in his mouth, but Rion endured it with superhuman patience.
He himself is the King of the Tower. He is a glorified boss monster.
The very act of arguing with such a jerk is advertising ‘I’m an asshole’.
It is better to take more effective action at that time.
“You asshole. I was scared.”
The man burst into giggles and when it was his turn, he entered the exam room.
And after a while—
“… Kyaaagh!”
“Take this crazy bastard out now!!”
“Ahh! Who brought in this guy!”
Woeful screams and retching.
After a while, the guards come running and roughly drag the man out.
All of them were holding their noses together.
The reason was that the man’s pants were full of brown liquid.
Now, the man will be forever remembered as the man who made sh*t at the Hero Academy.
Wherever he goes in the world, that label will haunt him until he dies.
‘Have a good trip. If I can’t stand it, I’ll even hang myself.’
A technique that Leon used on a man without anyone noticing.
If you have the basics of shocking the body using mana, you can do everything.
That means that even if you have the basics of mana management, you can detect and defend it.
The man wasn’t even defensive, he didn’t even notice what was happening to him.
What kind of academy instructor did that guy come to?
This is the devil’s willing gift for some blonde.
Rion shows satisfaction and is good to herself! Added one.
After the examiners finally calmed down, the recruitment test resumed.
“You’ve waited a long time. Candidate number 17. Please go inside.”
It’s finally your turn. Leon slowly stood up from his seat.
All you have to do is properly show your mana management skills and some miscellaneous skills.
I have the confidence to stick with it unconditionally. He must fall so he cannot fall.
“Welcome, Mr. Leone. You can sit there.”
Sitting down, Leon looked at the four men and women in front of him.
‘First of all, I like the impression that he looks generous. He’s the kind of person who will always look good on you. The man next to him… Well, on the contrary, he’s the one who sat down to find flaws unconditionally. He’s so damn good from what he looks like.’
The two remaining female judges were just mediocre.
If you leave a strong impression, you will agree with the former male judge’s opinion.
If not, it seems to support the opinion of the latter male examiner.
Without waiting any longer, Rion will raise Mana and show her skills….
“Oh, wait a minute. Mr. Leone. Not a single judge has come yet.”
Hana didn’t come? Leon glanced at her and turned her head.
As the saying goes, the one seat to the far left of her was vacant.
Perhaps he was properly offended by the terror attack a while ago.
“Should I wait?”
But Leon, she didn’t want to wait for the fifth judge.
“You should. More than three out of five judges have to agree, so just a little more….”
“No need.”
All four of you will unconditionally agree to my hiring anyway.
uuu!―
“Uh, uh uh?”
“Huh?!”
“Hey!”
Not only the four judges, but also the guards standing around.
Everyone is frightened and each grabs the armrest of the chair or the window sill strongly.
Huge mana. It is a whirlpool with no roughness.
If it moves even slightly, it seems like it will be swept away and torn to shreds.
It’s scary. Afraid. Now, that’s enough, I hope you stop!
“… So far.”
Saaa—
That wild whirlpool disappears in an instant like a lie.
Now, the only thing left in front of the judges was instructor candidate number 17, Leon.
“Heo Eok, Heo Eok!”
“What is this….”
At the time when the examiners were still wandering without coming to their senses.
Leone lightly tapped the arm of her chair and asked a question.
“How was it?”
How was it? Tell me what to do It was great. It was the best.
Until now, no instructor candidate has shown this level of performance.
Retired old knights, active duty knights, and well-to-do mercenaries!
Although I felt a slightly different aura from the usual mana.
People from across the sea said that they often see unusual cases.
Because she has dark hair, the judges thought so and moved on.
“Dae, what the hell are you….”
“Ah, by the way, he was a pretty good warrior across the sea. I came across because of circumstances.”
Proper camouflage is required. That way you’ll be less suspicious.
“Hello, everyone. How is it? The 17th candidate, Mr. Leone….”
“Passed.”
“It is an unconditional pass.”
“I just hire them right away.”
Yes, yes. This is a natural reaction.
There is absolutely no one in this world who can push this body away and become an instructor.
If I had to choose one person, it would probably be that woman.
“Huh? What is it? Have you already been judged?”
Yup. Okay. It should be at least Enlil, the main character of this voice….
‘… Uh?’
Lion, startled, hurriedly turned her head.
There stood a beautiful woman resembling a twinkling light.
“Ah! Welcome, Miss Enlil. The examination is over.”
“I wasn’t there?”
“There is already unanimity.”
“Is that true? Incredible!”
So saying, Enlil turned her head towards Rion.
“….”
Couldn’t it be caught?
