ALL NOVEL chapter 18
18. class
●
I feel like dying.
Not figuratively, really.
“-So the sword can be said to be the most basic weapon in all situations. As an armament suitable to deal with any situation-”
I listened to the professor saying that with one ear and dripped cold sweat from the other.
It’s basic stuff in the first place. You don’t even have to pay attention to listen.
“professor. There are questions.”
And, that also goes hand in hand with the meaning of why this person is taking this kind of class.
The blood drained from the professor’s face as Elnor, who was to my left, raised his hand expressionlessly.
“Tell me, Princess Tristan.”
“Don’t you think the theory is too verbose? All of that knowledge doesn’t work much in real combat.”
“sorry. I will correct it.”
The professor laughed hard and said that.
It was a very bizarre sight, where the student casually commented on the class and the professor agreed, but no one refuted it.
That Princess Tristan. No one would even think of pointing out such an attitude.
So.
Except for one.
“Uh, was I listening?”
Elijah to my right retorted with a smile.
It looked like he wasn’t afraid at all even while receiving Elnor’s cool stare.
“…you don’t think that this kind of desk talk is helpful in actual combat.”
“Classes are at the discretion of the professor. If you were ‘forced’ to observe, why would you stay still?”
Elnore closed her mouth in displeasure.
Unlike Elijah, who is a freshman like me, he seems to be aware of the fact that he is here with great force.
According to the story I heard from Atalanta later, he said it was the story he pushed for. “I want to be with you,” he said.
“But even if it’s a basic class, it’s a bit more practical than this-“
“So that in itself is too biased to one side-”
Diarrhea intensifies.
The professor who should be conducting the class is unable to say anything because he is weighed down by the title of the next hero candidate and Princess Tristan.
“Then what do you think?”
“Right. What do you think, teacher?”
And, this is the crystallization of the reason why I think I’m going to die right now.
They hit each other like that, and in the end they end up throwing a bomb at me.
“…For now, I think it’s better to continue the class.”
I feel so sorry for the professor who is shivering in front of me, so I say that for now.
At those words, Elnor’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, and a bright smile appeared on Elijah’s face. The professor also smiles reassuringly.
“Okay, one more win.”
“…I lost once.”
Then, I raised my eyebrows at the murmurs that flowed from both sides.
These guys, it’s been like this throughout the few classes that have been going on so far.
They discuss the contents among themselves, finally ask me for my opinion, and they continue to divide the victory or defeat based on which side they sided with.
Each time, the winner is very happy and wants to die, and the loser is more visible to the real disintegration, so it’s embarrassing.
What the heck did I say…?
Why are you guys doing this to me…?
“…”
Because of this, the degree of looking at me with strange eyes from other students is getting stronger.
What the hell is that guy, he gets treated like that because he’s caught between a candidate for a hero and a princess? do.
‘I’m not sure either.’
uh. I really don’t know.
At least, it can be seen as proof that the academy is suppressing my popularity well. Because there were sparsely mixed with people who didn’t know me at all.
In other words, it means that Elfante itself is extremely attentive to my every move.
‘…If something goes wrong, I’ll take care of it myself.’
So let’s do what I have to do to turn my consciousness around.
Leaving the professor who continues the lecture stuttering again, I turn my gaze to the window floating in front of me.
＜ Notification of gift-related person ＞
♥ Elnor Elinalize La Tristan
[5 levels of trust] ＞＞＞ [1 level of friendship]
[ There are rewards available! ]
▼ Elijah Krisanax
[ Curiosity level 5 ] ＞＞＞ [ Interest level 1 ]
[ There are rewards available! ]
This time, tap gently.
[ Receive the gift reward from ‘Elnor’. ]
[Obtained ‘Attribute: Breathing – Floating Grass’! ]
＜ Mastery Info ＞
[ Attribute: Tristan style swordsmanship ] [ Rank: Basic ]
[Current proficiency: 58%]
[This is the swordsmanship of the Duke of Tristan, a master of swordsmanship. ]
[ ■ You can exert a certain level of power regardless of the weapon. ]
[ Attribute: Breathing – Bucho 敷草 ] [ Grade: Basic ]
[ ■ It is a breathing method that dramatically increases the endurance and stamina of the body when trained for a long time. In particular, compatibility with Tristan style swordsmanship is good. ]
‘…Good?’
Bucho and Tristan style swordsmanship are skills that are activated almost as a set.
The person who can use this combination well right now is Princess Tristan, who is sitting to my left.
There are many reasons why Elnor reigned as the final boss, but the combination of these two skills accounted for a large portion of the monster-like melee combat power that is in charge of some of them.
Despite boasting monstrous aggression, the durability of the body is tenacious like that of weeds, so even if you hit it, you don’t think about collapsing.
In terms of taijutsu-related characteristics, it can be seen as a combination with the highest efficiency.
And then.
[ Receive gift reward from ‘Elijah’. ]
[ Acquired 2,000 points! ]
[Current Points: 2,000pt]
Does this guy end up with points instead of giving something special? Still, like the main character, he spreads out points hotly at once.
It’s a pity though. Wish there was something more…
＜ System Message ＞
[ It has been confirmed that he exerted more than a certain amount of influence on a good character! ]
[ The second gift is open! ]
[Acquire ‘Skill: Rule of Evil’! ]
“…”
it really comes out
＜Special Gift＞
Gift #1- Destiny Attraction
[ You will learn various rewards as the favorability of the character with evil tendencies increases. ]
Gift #2- Keun-Mukja-Black
[ You will learn various rewards as the goodwill character has a higher affinity for you. ]
[However, this is given at a much smaller level than the evil tendency. ]
[ Instead, if you taint a good character with a negative tendency beyond a certain amount, you will receive a great reward! ]
＜ Skill Info ＞
[ Skill: Reign of Evil ] [ Grade: E ]
[ Influences good characters who have been sufficiently influenced by you. ]
[The person under the rule of evil must do one thing you asked for. ]
[ Number of people being applied: None ]
Read the text in front of your eyes.
‘…Hmm.’
read it all over again
no. I don’t understand.
in short.
Does that mean that if I make a good guy bad, I get that much reward?
that’s true…
“…”
is that right?
●
Time went by, and finally we came to the ‘Introduction to Survival Science’ in the last class today.
The location of the class is ‘Fairy Forest’. It is a beautiful forest that comes out after walking for a long time out of Hakgwan-dong.
It looks like an ordinary forest from the outside, but it is an old Elfante Academy that is said to share its history with Atalante, the eternal one who is over a thousand years old. There’s no such thing as something ordinary.
Inside, there are all kinds of phantom beasts, magical plants, and rare minerals.
Some of them are dangerous enough to be truly life threatening.
Having reached this point, Elnor and Elijah also seem to have become quiet.
Maybe it’s because I’m a little tired of constantly fighting until now, but the reason why I’m in charge of this class right now is because it’s a human being who can’t talk about the class.
“Welcome, chicks.”
Conrad Baltador, the dean of the Faculty of Engineering, spoke in an indifferent tone, but the freshmen nearby were clearly nervous.
Probably because anyone with even the slightest knowledge of Elfante can’t be unaware of how notorious this class is.
“Survival science is the totality of practical combat skills gathered by guys who are still digging in dungeons or ruins. There’s nothing wrong with learning if you don’t want to die.”
The dean’s explanation continued, which was incomparable to that of popping out directly.
It’s annoying to death, but it’s customary for the dean to take the first class for this lecture, so the atmosphere was overflowing.
Well, it’s such an important subject. Even in the imperial family, it’s a subject that gives extra points to recruitment, so some students’ eyes are almost shining.
“It is simple to do.”
And the contents of the lecture that would kill all those eyes continued.
“Go into this forest from now on and gather something that pleases me. Give me 10 minutes.”
“…”
“Ah, if you feel like dying, scream loudly. I’ll save you. Instead, prepare for the lowest point.”
“…”
In the midst of quiet silence, one of the students carefully raised his hand.
“What.”
“…Uh, is there no scoring standard?”
“You just said it. It is my heart.”
“…”
“Life is a game, chicks. Give me 5 minutes to prepare.”
Oh, student president, come here. let me score with you
While the students were contemplating Conrad, who quickly disappeared after saying that, I was alone, staring at the status window, away from the atmosphere.
Gift #2- Keun-Mukja-Black
[ You will learn various rewards as the goodwill character has a higher affinity for you. ]
[However, this is given at a much smaller level than the evil tendency. ]
[ Instead, if you taint a good character with a negative tendency beyond a certain amount, you will receive a great reward! ]
I really don’t know what this means.
It is too abstract to say that a person with a positive tendency is stained with negative tendencies.
‘…I’m sure it’s not nice.’
It’s like the name of the gift is Keun Mukja Black, and it feels like doing something bad?
“Teacher. Shall we do it together?”
As I was staring at the window and sorting out my thoughts, Elijah spun around and threw out those words.
Well. I’m not interested.
“You go and do it with your friends.”
Saying that, he pointed to the “protagonist party” gathering nearby.
Luka the warrior, Falco the wizard, Trisha the healer, Grid the shooter.
Perhaps they have become friends since the previous assassination attempt, and they are still waiting for Elijah at a distance.
“…Um, the teacher is also my friend. Do you want to do it together?”
“No, I am fine.”
uh. Seriously.
No matter how he got involved with me, Elijah needs to get acquainted with the main character party right away.
In the end, these guys are the only ones who can grow to the level of saving the world.
Even if I intervene, it will only be an impurity.
“Aren’t we really that close?”
“…”
At my words, the boy pouted his lips in dissatisfaction.
“…It makes me sad, really. Oh I don’t know!”
The angry and angry guy murmured away from me.
It looks a little pouty.
“there.”
As I was thinking about that, I heard a voice calling me from the side.
When I turned my head, there was a handsome blonde haired man looking at me. She’s spilling all the cuteness of a model student atmosphere.
‘Ah, there was a character like this.’
Looking at the long spear protruding from behind, I immediately remembered who it was.
Talion Armand.
The eldest son of Armand, a well-to-do viscount. There is no doubt that he will be a standout talent among the freshmen who entered this year.
I also remember that I was a perfect character who would not come out even if I brushed it off.
Integrity. humility. Calm down. Equation of Conduct.
And above all, he is a guy with the skills to follow Elijah right down to his chin.
Thanks to that, even though he is a freshman, he even has a fan club.
But, more than that.
‘…wasn’t he the mid-boss of Chapter 1?’
This guy, sooner or later, will be corrupted by some kind of opportunity and turn into a boss.
I didn’t expect to meet you like this here.
‘By the way, what do you want me to see?’
As I tilted my head at that thought, Talion opened his mouth again.
“Hey, what’s your relationship with the candidate for the hero?”
“…ok?”
In response to the guy asking such a question, I unknowingly get a dumbfounded sound.
No, it’s because I can’t guess the intention at all.
Actually, I stuck with him all day today.
“What do you mean? What are you doing?”
“For some reason, I approached… Excuse me, I mean how we became close.”
The tone was polite, but the eyes of the guy who said that were shining sharply.
As if trying to rip everything about me from one to ten.
‘…Ah, I see what it is.’
If you recall the setting, Elijah is a ‘respectable person’ to this guy. The goal to achieve the same number by reaching it at least once.
“I heard you just wanted to be friends over there?”
To tell the truth, the corners of his eyes twitched.
“…to someone who is called a cheater countless times?”
His tone became a little aggressive.
In line with that, my eyes widened a bit.
It’s not that this guy’s face has changed.
＜ System Message ＞
[ A character with a good character was enraged by your influence! ]
[ Some of the gift conditions have been met! ]
Because of this phrase that popped up before my eyes right now.
‘Is it like this?’
In short, it seems that the more I take the initiative to make this guy angry, the more likely I am to be rewarded.
The word ‘negative tendency’ seems to include anger.
“…”
Let’s speed up our thoughts a bit.
If I activate a gift on this guy and even plant the ‘rule of evil’ skill, this guy will definitely have to listen to one of my requests later.
In addition to that, you get additional rewards.
‘Is that good?’
It’s not another guy, it’s the mid-boss of Chapter 1. There are endless ways to utilize such a feature.
‘There will be something to roll about corruption.’
It wouldn’t be that difficult if you just roll it the way I thought.
So what to do here is simple.
Scratch this guy until the gift conditions are met.
“There is no evidence of fraud?”
“The circumstances are certain. There is no proof that the sparring between you and the hero candidate was not a fraud, right?”
Elfante, you seem to be doing a good job.
I’ve been noticed a few times since then, but I can’t believe I’m still successful in maintaining this kind of awareness among students.
“Hey.”
I laughed bitterly inside, but now it would be nice to be grateful for that recognition.
“I don’t know why, but I just said that we should get to know each other over there and that’s all.”
“…I can’t believe it.”
“why?”
Because you can take out these words and scratch them.
“Because you can feel the wall when you see the guy you target fall down in one hit? So you don’t want to believe that sparring is a fabrication?”
The boy’s eyebrows twitched.
To be honest, this is the pinnacle.
He probably denies that it’s not like that, but if it’s not like this in the first place, there’s no reason to argue with me.
“and.”
He smiles and adds.
“Even if I was that kind of guy, what would you do?”
“…What?”
“I’m saying this because I think I’d be better than you even if I were a real cheater.”
The boy’s expression contorted with anger.
“…Then, shall we bet?”
The boy replied with his eyes wide open.
“Now who gets better grades in this? What do you think?”
[ Gift prerequisites complete! ]
[The other party was very angry! ]
[ In this state, you can receive a reward if you inflict a humiliating defeat on your opponent! ]
right.
it took
●
“…Hey. student president.”
Conrad shook his head in a puzzled look.
Hearing that, Elnor’s expression didn’t change at all.
“Yes. What is it?”
“No matter how much I asked for help with the scoring, I didn’t ask for it to be rough.”
“I’ve never been rough.”
“…”
He looked at the paper Elnor had given him in silence.
This is what he did as soon as he gave him the paperwork and writing utensils for scoring.
“Then explain. Why didn’t the class even start and this guy named Doud Campbell got a perfect score?”
“It’s a perfect score.”
“…”
“That man is perfect.”
What is he saying now.
Conrad narrowed his eyes and glared at her, but Elnor continued, still expressionless.
“It seems that you are not satisfied.”
“Would you like it?”
“Then, I will observe that side more in order to write down the reason for the perfect score in more detail. Let’s go into the woods and come back.”
“…You just wanted to stick with them from the start, so you were cheating, right?”
“no.”
Elnor said calmly.
“I just don’t want to be alone with that freshman named Elijah.”
“…”
“I feel like something is going to happen between the two inside me right now. Please let me in.”
“Thank you for being honest.”
It really was.
Conrad grinned.
“If you don’t want to die, stay here. Before being kicked out for disrupting class.”
“…”
However, being honest doesn’t mean you can’t accept everything.
