I’m Just an Ordinary Clown at the Academy

123 – Special Training 13

Ranked 10th in Death Heaven, Betzdo.

Betzdo is a necromancer who first appeared in Croaka.

But more famous for being a noob cutter than for being the first necromancer to appear.

[How the hell do you catch that cabbage or whatever it is?]

Recently, it’s been popping up a lot on the forum, so I tried licking it once. I was having fun until now, but damn, why did the difficulty suddenly spike like this?

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㅋㅋ Welcome, noob

ㅋ It’s not cabbage, it’s Betzdo

Author) Stop laughing and tell me the strategy. The game hasn’t been out for long, so there are no strategy posts.

If you use ‘that,’ you can easily catch it without following any patterns.

Author) What’s that?

Well, if you use ‘that,’ even our 4-year-old nephew can catch it easily.

ㅋㅋㅋ I was just casually challenging it, then got my head smashed, used ‘that,’ and cleared it in one shot.

Author) What the hell, guys! What is that!

Well, that is…

That’s it.

For real, lol

Check out the post I just uploaded

[A noob loser who complained about not being able to beat Betzdo. Look at this]

Did you already roughly look at the pattern? The boss wasn’t made to be beaten normally from the start.

Of course, you don’t need to dodge every single pattern.

The biggest problem is the skull that keeps coming up, right?

When it falls right before starving to death, the skull ignores your character.

And before fighting, lay down a firebomb,

Not a regular firebomb, but a special one that continues to burn for a certain amount of time.

And because you might not believe me, here’s the proof

(A screenshot of the story captured from far away.)

Thank you! Thank you!

Oh, you’re making it so easy to understand, nice job.

Whenever this noob sees one, he just casually spills all the advanced information we’ve learned through hardships.

Seriously, lol

Shut up, Loki? Thanks for nothing. That cabbage guy is done for.

It’s not cabbage, it’s Betzdo, you jerk.

I feel like having cabbage pancakes for dinner tonight.”

If you do this, it’s going to be boring;; Ruining all the games.

Did you leave?

What’s up?

hahahahaha

hahahahaha, this is so funny.

Lord, another one is going up today.

Lord: Stop sending them up, there’s no room.

It’s almost time for another one to come up….

[Thanks to Loki for kindly informing me earlier!]

Thanks for letting me quit the game, you bastard.

If you run out of hunger, skeletons won’t attack, right? Once the skeleton hits you, you die immediately.

And because of the flames constantly on the ground, I can’t even go out, and all the items burned.

hahahahaha, are you really doing that?

Writer) Where did that Loki guy go!

?

Writer) What’s with the question mark, you bastard! Because of you, everything’s ruined! I’ll hit you on the head with that question mark.

!

Writer)……….

Betzdo was, to put it nicely, malicious,

Users had what they called a dog-like pattern.

‘Of course, I’ve memorized all the patterns.’

Turning my head around to take a look, the surroundings were already filled with skeletons I had created in my imagination.

Skeletons with four arms, skeletons walking on all fours, skeletons with arms several times longer, and more.

There were skeletons that maintained the shape of a person, and skeletons that looked like animals.

At this point, it could be said that over 95% of Betzdo’s skeletons were similar.

“…………………..”

Sepia, seemingly surprised by the sudden appearance of countless skeletons, looked at me with her mouth slightly open in a daze.

Now, if Sepia regains her senses, she just needs to experience Betzdo’s patterns one by one.

‘But I feel like I forgot something………’

Having prepared a handsome face, potions in case Sepia gets hurt, simple food for when she gets hungry, even the most handsome face in the world…

Oh, right! The mask.

I forgot to put the clown mask on Sepia.

I took out the clown mask I had put in the void earlier.

Feeling the texture of the mask in my hand, I slowly walked towards Sepia.

‘Come to think of it, the person wearing this mask seems to be unique to Sepia.’

Johanna sees my face without the mask every morning but doesn’t pay much attention to the mask, just gently stroking my face.

I slowly reached out the hand holding the mask towards Sepia.

When I suddenly reached out my hand, Sepia flinched, but didn’t move.

“Uh….”

I placed the mask on Sepia and took a step back.

Sepia brought her hand to her face and gently touched the mask.

It might not be discomfort but rather an awkward or fascinating shape.

Even the spirits, fascinated by Sepia wearing a mask, stuck to it, gazing intently.

“Come to think of it, we’re both wearing masks.”

Sepia in a white mask, me in a black one.

Come to think of it, couples sometimes wear matching accessories, right?

A couple’s mask. Not a bad idea, right?

How about trying a big business later?

If all the special class students wear masks, we might be able to make it a trend somehow.

“Sepia, since we’re both wearing masks, don’t we look like lovers?”

“L-lovers! Ha! Ridiculous. You and me? Ha!”

Sepia was definitely wearing a mask, but her expression was vivid in my mind.

A trembling mouth, a slightly blushing face, and even eyes cautiously checking my reaction in case my words hurt her.

“Is this too much?”

Ironically, when the face is covered by a mask, one imagines the face and expression beneath it.

I wonder if others felt this way when they looked at me.

I am curious about Sepia’s expression, but for now, I have to do what needs to be done.

“Ugh! Sepia, denying it so much, a huge hole pierced through my heart from the hurt! Can’t you take it as a joke?”

“I wasn’t denying it… It’s because you said something strange in the first place!”

—

“Sigh…”

After letting out a loud sigh, Sepia, now relaxed, looked around warily.

The eerie skulls still filled the surroundings.

I knew they were fakes created by an illusion, but they still looked eerily real.

“I really knew nothing.”

I thought all I needed was to find the one who killed the villagers, but now I realize how reckless that was.

Even if I had found him without Hugu’s help, knowing he was a necromancer, I would have likely died in confusion without a proper fight.

“Pull yourself together.”

Sepia slapped her cheek with both hands.

Better late than never to realize.

“What should I do from now on?”

“As I mentioned before, Sepia, it’s simple. Review. Review what you learned through preview for a month.”

“So, what exactly should I preview and review?”

“Well, Sepia, please stay still for a moment.”

After saying that, Loki moved one of the illusionary skulls to attack Sepia.

She could have easily dodged it, but as instructed by Loki, she stayed still.

The attack from the illusionary skull passed through Sepia’s body.

“As you can see, it’s all illusions, so even if they attack Sepia, she won’t get hurt.”

Rocky said so and used his shadow step to move away from Sepia.

Sepia blankly stared at Rocky, who had quickly distanced himself.

“There is only one thing you need to do, Sepia. Avoid the skeletons attacking in various ways and attack me here.”

As Rocky finished speaking, the skeletons all turned their heads towards Sepia with a creaking sound.

“By the way, if you get hit even once, we start over from the beginning.”

***

How many hours had passed while dodging the skeletons’ attacks?

“Sigh…”

Sepia lay on the ground, breathing heavily, forgetting that Rocky was in front of her.

In the end, without even getting close to Rocky, she was hit by the skeletons.

Which skeleton was it that extended its tongue to attack!

“You’ve worked hard.”

Rocky eliminated all the illusions made of skeletons.

Mana was barely left.

“Shall we stop here for today?”

“…I can still… go on.”

“Sepia, I may have pushed you hard earlier, but I have limits in terms of stamina. Besides, it’s getting late.”

Rocky pointed at the sky with his finger.

They had started training after school with Sepia, and so much time had already passed.

Sepia also had little stamina left, and she would soon have to call Erika.

Without saying anything else, Sepia nodded her head.

“… Can I take off the mask now?”

“Yes! You can take it off now. Thank you for your hard work.”

Rocky watched Sepia take off the mask and stretch.

‘It seems she hasn’t realized the effect of the mask yet.’

It was understandable.

Wearing the mask during the special training they were doing now only increased stamina.

Even that was hard to notice during the intense training.

“Well, I don’t really know why you were told to wear this, but you did well for now.”

Sepia handed the mask she had taken off to Rocky, but he shook his head.

Lending the mask to Sepia in the first place was not just to increase stamina.

Avoiding patterns was important, but Sepia’s talent lay not in avoiding but in spirit magic.

“There is still one thing left for you to do, Sepia.”

“What is it?”

“To practice spirit magic wearing the mask in the dormitory.”

Upon hearing Rocky’s words, Sepia felt puzzled.

Why practice spirit magic wearing a mask?

But in the end, Sepia nodded her head.

She had no strength to argue, and she decided to trust Rocky’s words.

And the next day.

“Fool! How dare you hand me this without any explanation! I can’t live like this for real!”

Putting the mask in the safe and carrying the safe as a whole, Sepia poked Loki.
