I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

9. Transformation

“Keruk, nice human. If that female really has the talent of an archmage and is very popular in the academy… Can you prove it? What are the means?”

“Means of proof?”

“It’s about what can you believe in seeing that female. If you show that much skill, I’ll admit it.”

As expected, the merchant’s blood was not deceived. Even if it was a stupid goblin, his eyes lit up when it was money related.

Maybe it was a last resort to protect the scroll of the curse, but it was meaningless.

“Radia. How many circles are you now?”

“Curve 4. If you overdo it with fire magic, you can reach up to 5 circles.”

Ladia created sparks in her hand with her confident demeanor.

Brilliant and refined fireworks brightly lit up the inside of the old general store.

“Then is ‘that magic’ possible?”

“That magic?”

“Firestorm. A very small show please. That will suffice.”

Ladia wondered why she was asking for this, then nodded her head.

Smoke up.

Dozens of small sparks appearing above your hand.

Rotated quickly in a circle and spewed smoke.

At the center of it all was formed the Eye of Flame, called the Flower of the Storm.

“Kerrr!!”

As soon as Ganelle sees the firestorm, she has a seizure.

He recalled the primal fear engraved on her body.

‘Firestorms are made to burn forests. It is the most used magic against the goblins living in the forest.’

It is a dangerous magic that settled in the middle and upper ranks as a 5th circle fire magic.

Especially, the eyes of flame in the middle keep an eye on and chase living creatures, so goblins urinate and tremble just by encountering them.

“That, stop! Got it! I’m well aware that you have the lumber of an archmage! Stop, stop!!”

“Huh? Uh… I don’t like it?”

“Cherry!!”

Ladia approached Ganelle with a vicious smile.

It seemed like he was trying to torture me with the thought of repaying all of his sins.

After a while, Ganelle, whose black skin was burnt to the point where it looked like ashes, approached, timid.

“…Here it is. I never imagined that I would encounter that even outside the forest. I thought that even a student at an academy would use it.”

[Ten thousand years of scare] – [Curse Unlocked]

The necklace returned to its original state. The curse was gone, and the 50% fire attack power was still the same.

“Thank you. It’s a choice I will never regret.”

“Please, I hope so.

I could clearly see how bitter Ganelle was, even from the look on her face.

“Take this, human. It’s a calling tool that can call me later.”

Ganelle gave you a nice statue of a goblin.

Her large nose was especially noticeable.

It must mean to call when 1000 gold is collected. Of course, there was no way they would hand over something expensive like a curse unlocking scroll for free.

Aside from that, it was a convenient tool for contacting me at any time if there was something I wanted to buy.

“Okay. Ganelle, before we leave, I have one more favor to ask of you. Can you hear me?”

“…Does he listen when he refuses? Tell me, human.”

“Find a doctor in the east. He’s a man with dark hair and black eyes.”

“You’re a very peculiar person. Don’t expect too much. I’m just going around as a merchant.”

“Thank you for just finding out. If you find it, I’ll pay you a fortune.”

“Oops! I should have said that first! Got it! Don’t worry, I’ll find you soon!”

Ganelle smelled the money and grinned.

Gilang, a man called Hwata of the East.

The hands he gives are so excellent in medicine that they are called the hands of a god.

‘In this world, there is only one doctor with dark hair and black eyes, Gilang, so I’ll be able to find him soon.’

I didn’t expect much. But he had to borrow at least a goblin hand now that he was in a hurry, even if it was a cat hand.

***

A widower’s smell wafted from the room.

A new necklace was hanging around Ladia’s neck as she faced the sunlight with the fresh air.

Radia with yellow hair and a face like an actress.

The exterior of the necklace, which was neither too flashy nor plain, made Ladia’s appearance stand out even more.

“Thanks, El. I never would have imagined that this was a cursed item… I really would have been in trouble without you.”

Ladia also touched her necklace with the corner of her mouth raised, as if she liked it.

“I was lucky. The necklace fits well and is a pretty pair.”

“A matching pair… Yes. I think so too. There will never be a matching pair like ours.”

“?”

When Ladia said us, she felt a strange gaze. Did you like her necklace that much?

‘Rather than that, the program time is coming to an end.’

Honestly, I was afraid. Only in the game do you see the characters getting tired and having a hard time, but you don’t experience it yourself.

In addition, El’s body is very weak. It is impossible to predict what kind of aftershock will come after the end of Grendel’s command, which has made achievements with the hero…

Thump!

“Kuh?!”

“L?”

Heart drops.

A red warning appeared before her eyes.

[Default duration: 00 minutes 00 seconds]

[The aftermath is coming]

A sharp pain that comes as soon as you worry. A chill strikes again in the open bloodstream.

The momentary peace was once again stained with the blood of war.

“Cool…”

“L?”

She covered her mouth with her hand.

A lot of hardened blood came out of her mouth and stained her hands.

“…Nothing.”

My legs are stiff. My steps slowed down.

The feeling of icicles rising in the blood vessels. Her throat is frosted and her lungs are sharpened with a jigsaw, and with every breath she takes a great pain.

Her body creaked like an old machine.

‘If it wasn’t for the [Revolutionary’s Heart], I would have died a long time ago.’

The unbearable pain made her mind wander, but she managed to hold on thanks to her special traits.

I took one step at a time.

However, the steps that were much slower than the first could not escape Ladia’s eyes.

***

‘What happened?’

L couldn’t walk properly. I was very worried about walking with a limp on one of her legs.

The hand covering her mouth seemed to be hiding something.

“What’s wrong? What’s hard? If your legs are uncomfortable, I…”

“It’s okay.”

She reached out to help.

But her cold words coming right back and El’s cold hands rejected Ladia.

Her heart hurt as if an awl had been stabbed in her heart at that moment, but she was more worried about L’s condition than that.

Then, El covered her mouth and saw something flowing between her fingers.

Red liquid.

The slightly fishy smell of incense…

‘Blood?’

The wizard was very familiar with blood. In particular, he was so used to the blood flowing in his mouth.

Because when you face a magical wall you can’t handle, all you spit out is blood.

‘Eh, why are you spitting blood for what? Didn’t you talk to me just fine…?’

I felt an unusual energy.

I wanted to ask L. However, her impatient steps ahead and the attitude of walking silently, as if not to ask, made me afraid to speak prematurely.

At that time, a memory flashed through Ladia’s mind.

Traces of bullying when I first met L.

The irrational act of blindly entering the lake.

A weak body.

The whereabouts of the doctor I just asked the goblin.

Ladia’s body stiffened.

‘L… Could it be?’

Her throat was choking.

I just stared endlessly at the back of El, who was walking first.

***

Fortunately, she was able to arrive at the academy’s dormitory without incident.

I remember what she did before I broke up with Ladia.

I stood blankly, holding the hem of my clothes without saying anything.

‘What was that expression like?’

It was as if the whole world had been lost. It was completely opposite to when I got the 10,000-year scare necklace.

I saw blood on my hands.

‘I still have four years left to live. But… Is it really four years?’

There is an order to being born, but there is no order to death.

Perhaps the four years could have been shortened depending on what I did.

It would be impossible to increase it.

Finally, I turned on the status window.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

The terrible numbers I saw before entering the game.

You had to have at least a 10 to be average, and a 30 or better to get an honors student ticket.

There was no time to hesitate.

I brought a rusty bowl and brought hot water.

[Jirong Pogeunsan (地龍抱根散)]

[The neck bone of a chicken that has lived for 100 years]

[The fan that the goblin cherished]

[Essence of the Mountain]

Not finely ground or deformed.

Those whose effects double when eaten alive.

I was very worried if my throat could handle it, but it’s smaller than the palm of my hand. There was nothing short of swallowing them all.

Determination from death easily removes hesitation.

Keep them all in one place… With water.

Swallow.

Gulp!

‘Write!’

It was my first impression. It’s not just written.

I wrote enough to throw up.

My tongue twitched whenever I touched something.

Ginseng in the shape of a dragon going down the throat staggers and violates the esophagus.

The essence of the mountain melted together and melted the chicken’s neck bone and fan.

‘It’s hot… It’s like putting a brazier inside.’

For a moment, it seemed that the body temperature similar to the one that forced Grandel to return.

I felt something curled up inside me.

[Earth Dragon Pogeunsan (地龍抱根散) is mixed with 3 elixirs]

[Superior change! 200% Better results]

[Pay attention to pain]

The sight is far away.

My mind wanders and countless sleep pours out.

Tutuk. Tutu-tuk.

The sleepless body vomits out pain.

That time lasted all night.
