I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

14. Greenleaf

“Sheesh.”

A place not far from where El and Emily are.

An unidentified man in a black hood clicked his tongue.

“What the hell is that guy? The information list clearly says he’s a no-nonsense idiot, but he’s not at all!”

When Pelonos, whom he cherished, died, anger shook his reason.

He’s a simple ignorant guy, but he’s a guy with one cute act…!

When Pelonos died and the connection was lost, the gaze through Pelonos’s eyes was also cut off.

If this happens, let alone an assassination, they will not even know where Cassia Eleanor is.

The assassination was a failure.

“Damn, I don’t know what kind of sh*t I’m going to say up there again. If I had known this, I would have brought Bell and Choco.”

He thought of the snake monster, the bell, and the dog monster, Choco, that would be waiting for him at home.

He regretted his past, saying that one of her kongkong was enough.

It was time to put the hood down and move.

“Stop it.”

My body stiffens.

The feel of a sharp dagger over the robe.

It felt like a fountain of blood would come out of his neck at the slightest movement.

‘Who are you?’

I swallowed dry saliva.

A very youthful male voice.

However, the life and strength that made the body hard did not dare to resist.

‘The professor at the academy was definitely a chicken head. It is characterized by the fact that it is attached to the back. Then the man in the back is not a professor.’

I started by grasping the situation with a short piece of information.

The fear of dying slowly invaded his head, but he couldn’t die here.

I had to negotiate with this man somehow.

“I can hear your head spinning. Just ask me a few questions and I’ll send it to you.”

“…Ask me.”

“Are you a Mortar who serves the god of death?”

Jumping.

As he tried to spit out a sound to answer, his throat choked.

Mortal.

A religion commonly referred to as a ‘cult’, worshiping the god of death.

The god of death is famous for scattering all sorts of plagues and corpses. It is said that the places they pass through do not sprout, plague rats roam, and blood gushes out of the well instead of water.

And the rumors are true.

‘In the Deeside game, the composition of confrontation with them later appears often. It was an enemy I had to face someday.’

I knew it when I saw their characteristic black hood, but I asked a question just in case.

It’s not answering, but rather it let me know that the silence is affirming.

“I, I… Nothing…”

“Then next question. How did you get into the academy?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know anything! The religion of Mortal, the fact that this was an academy…!”

“Looks like you don’t intend to answer.”

“Wait a minute! Whoops!”

Chack!

The hood on the neck split open and blood soaked the sky.

The man’s brief death sentence was the sound of announcing death.

I lifted the hood that covered my face.

The whites of the eyes that clearly show that they are dead.

A tattoo reminiscent of a cochlea was drawn on the crown of his head, which was shiny because he had no hair.

‘As expected, Mortal is correct. If the water above is dirty, the water below is also dirty, and a curse was put on the lower classes so that they could not reveal important information. Even if I asked anyway, I wouldn’t have heard the answer.’

The body’s reaction is an exception.

This was a kind of warning.

If you kill the Hound of Mortal, you will be contacted by the higher level executive.

Perhaps this will cause some confusion and convey the information that ‘someone unknown is guarding Cassia Eleanor’s side.

‘I bought time with this. All I have to do is grow in the meantime.’

The full-scale race has begun.

“Welcome. Cuckoo. I heard the story from student Emily first. Cuckoo.”

Professor Chico clucked with his hands behind her back. It seemed that she would bow her back as soon as she fed her.

“I heard you were attacked by a big animal on your way back… Are you okay? Cuckoo.”

“Fortunately, I was able to organize it within my skill level.”

Professor Chico was shocked to see Elle without any scars.

The scariest thing about collecting herbs is surprise.

The process of delicately digging up roots while bending over requires a high level of concentration. It’s just that I don’t have the energy to look around.

You not only killed the animals that came to you, but also gathered dozens of herbs without losing your breath?

This was an achievement worthy of a round of applause, as the chicken wings were flapped vigorously.

‘Fortunately, it seems that Professor Chico explained that it was an animal, not Pelonos.’

If Pelonos had attacked, there would have been a commotion.

“I’ll give extra points to the two students. With this, student L will get the best grade. Cuckoo.”

“Me?”

“There’s no one here who can pick up herbs as well as student L. In terms of delicacy, she’ll have an edge over me. I’m looking forward to the future. Cuckoo!”

Professor Chico was delighted with her eye smile.

‘Even before I was possessed, El must have benefited from her dexterity.’

She thinks that the reason El chose her alchemy class had something to do with her dexterity.

Or… She hoped for a miracle, as Emily said, and for the healing of her palatal artery.

“Ah, El! You’re here!”

As I was chatting with Professor Chico, Emily came over and patted her hand. It seems that he touched the herb and wiped off the stained blood.

“I’ve been waiting to distribute! To be honest, since L brought all of this, I have nothing to say if he said he would take them all… But if you allow me, I’d like to do an annuity together. Is it okay…?”

Emily looks at her with her eyes wide open.

“Of course it’s okay. Let’s help each other.”

“Hmm…! As expected, El is kind! I will look after you diligently! If she needs her hand, always lean on me!”

***

Since then, she has helped with alchemy for Emily rather than alchemy for me.

She may benefit financially from alchemy, but it is still too early.

A chance to get acquainted with the princess, Cassia Eleanor, and a place where you can tell who you really are.

Her extensive knowledge of alchemy, honed by her game, has taken her by surprise several times.

Emily looked at the bubbling flask bottle in her sage-like blankness, as if she had realized something in her.

[Mysterious undiluted solution]

I think it will help you grow something.

The light was green and brightly illuminated the dark classroom. It could be seen as a finished product without exploding.

“Eh, El. Did we make this? This?”

“Do you think so?”

I knew but pretended not to know.

The mysterious undiluted solution can’t turn copper into bread, but it is a means that contributes greatly to solving ’empty hunger’.

There is something called a mysterious seed, like a mysterious undiluted solution, and when these two meet together, a ‘blessed land’ is created.

In the blessed land, vegetables and fruits proliferate at a rapid pace, and a dream zone opens up that grows infinitely without having to breed seeds separately.

Even if it does not rain, it continues to grow even when winter comes, so this will solve the food shortage caused by war in the future.

“Oh… These bright colors. The fragrant smell! I’m not sure what they’re made of, but anyway, it must be a hit!”

Emily loved the twinkle in her eyes.

She has been struggling in vain and has blown away dozens of precious herbs, but this is the first time she’s been with L, and she’s achieved results.

Happiness and emotion surged up like water.

“Wait, can I watch it with you? Cuckoo.”

Professor Chico approached and took a closer look at the mysterious liquid.

However, Professor Chico only made a puzzled expression as if he was not sure of the effect of this.

“I know you can feel the life force… But something is blocking it. Cuckoo. It’s like a lock that needs a key. Cuckoo.”

“So you’re saying it’s not good, Professor?”

“No. Rather, in the study of alchemy, the value of ‘life’ is unrivaled. I think it can develop into the biggest achievement in the history of Orion Academy. Cuckoo.”

“That, to that extent?!”

“Of course, in this era, most people only look at the results. If we stop here, it will be neither one nor the other. Cluck.”

Professor Chico nodded as if he had made up his mind after thinking about it.

“Okay. If you don’t know something, ask. If you need anything, I’ll give you my own money to support you, so I’ll push you back. Cuckoo.”

Professor Chico made a quick decision.

She understood the value of this at a glance, as if the professor’s name hadn’t been obtained through ticketing.

‘Professor Chico is sincere and kind. Especially in the alchemy lecture, the more students show results like this, the more your eyes will go round… But I’m not greedy, so I’ll be relieved and leave it to you.’

Nodded.

“Thank you, Professor.”

Emily stared blankly at Elle, lost in her fascination.

It looked completely different from when he first saw it.

It is true that the appearance has changed due to the round bone metamorphosis, but the atmosphere of the person itself has become flexible and has a charm that attracts people.

‘There is no other person as reliable as a talented friend!’

An unknown emotion sprouting in her own heart.

I thought of it simply as ‘feeling as a friend’.

Innocent Emily was still a long way from feeling her love.

***

The pink room she hadn’t seen in a long time and her pink hair swayed and cluttered her vision.

“Really… L student! Do you know how worried I was? Especially after the swordsmanship class, it was dangerous, so I kept looking for it, but I was embarrassed because it was nowhere to be found!”

The person who first opened his eyes and healed him.

It was Luna Elliot.

She was putting her hand on her waist, furrowing her eyebrows as if she were very angry.

‘Anytime I see it, it’s a great chest.’

Her bobbing breasts catch my eye as she leans over. At that size, I don’t think it would be strange if the shoulder dislocated…

The reason I came to the health room was not only to inform Luna about her current situation, but also to heal her wounds while she was fighting Pelonos.
