I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

18 – First Quest (4)

“Come to Ilo, Elianne! Let Lando and Luisa pull you aggro for a moment!”

“”Yes!””

Holding the [Compressive Water Bomb] In one of her hands, her other hand grabbed Elianne’s arm and dragged her mutant [Great Oak] Beside her.

There was a look of bewilderment on her face.

“What are you trying to do?”

“You know how to use wind magic, right? Floating things.”

“Yes….”

She handed her [Compressed water bomb] To her.

“Throw this high with wind magic so it goes inside his shield.”

“What is this?”

“It’s a bomb that comes out with a lot of water. There is a type that explodes if you throw it and hit the magic.”

The horse gun consumes only 2 mana per shot.

In other words, it takes five shots to activate the [Compressed Water Bomb], Which consumes 10 mana, but it’s much faster to just look at Elian and tell her to explode.

She made a serious face and nodded her head.

After using the wind magic with the shadowless window, I put the red water balloon I gave you on top of the wind.

Soong—.

Water balloons flying fast upwards.

I arrived at the top of the orc’s head, which was the only hole in the cylindrical shield.

“Shoot now!”

“Yes!”

Ellie Anne used her staff to send her pure magical energy towards the water balloon.

It wasn’t long before her magical power reached the [Compressed Water Bomb].

“Kurrure!”

The orc reacted to that mana stem.

He raised his right arm above his shield.

Then he tried to hit it like a spike on a volleyball.

Whether the stem of magic touches first or the palm of the mutant [Great Oak] Touches first.

It was close.

If this [Compressed water bomb] Gets blocked, there’s really no other way.

‘Time stop only stopped the time of living things.’

Magic tools that are not life forms and the already released magic power do not stop.

Activated the [Time Stop] Skill.

The orc’s right hand stops.

Elianne also held the staff tightly.

Lando and Luisa also tried to turn off the aggro.

Her pure magical power shot by Ellie Anne does not stop.

Go all the way.

While the orc’s right hand is still for 2 seconds.

“Enough!”

[Time stop] Is over.

Elianne’s magical stem reached the water balloon before the Orc.

The [Compressed water bomb] Inflated in the blink of an eye.

Paang—!!

The water balloon, which had been inflated to half the height of the boss room, burst like a roar.

Water poured out of it.

The floor of the boss room started to be submerged in a lot of water.

Water flowed nonstop like a large waterfall from a burst water balloon.

The water level in the boss room gradually rose.

In just 10 seconds, the water was up to my thighs.

“Gaaak—!!”

The mutant [Great Orc] Started panicking.

In the end, he also threw away his shield.

Thump, thump, thump.

The orc ran to the wooden door of the boss room.

I tried my best to open the door, but it hasn’t even moved for 10 minutes.

“All-out attack!”

Immediately at my instruction, Lando, Luisa, Elianne, and Elianne Maid each raised their weapons and charged at him.

I poured all the magic potions I had brought into my mouth and shot the orc’s head.

“Haaap—!!”

Squeak—.

Lando’s sword cut off his left leg.

The unbalanced mutant orc fell backwards.

Plop, his entire body fell into the water.

He couldn’t swim and only growled.

‘I can’t swim, so water must be my weakness.’

[Compressed Water Bomb] Produced water endlessly, to the point where I wondered when it would end.

I thought of it as a home pool when I said it was a swimming pool, but does it have enough water to fill a competition pool?

At 10 magical powers, this was a deceitful magic tool.

The water was up to our chins before we knew it.

But the water balloons showed no signs of stopping.

“You come out too much! Kyaaah—!”

Eli Anne struggled to control her body.

Oh, wait.

This was a beer bottle setting!

It’s an urgent situation, but I forgot and missed it.

I have to help her with her.

I can’t leave her to die like this.

“Eliane! Relax your body!”

It’s an instinctive movement, but there’s no way it could happen if I say it.

She walked over carefully behind her and wrapped her arms around her neck.

Then it floated on the surface of the water.

“Calm down. I know you don’t want to cling to a guy like me, but if you want to live, be patient.”

“Haa… , ha…. Yes… ….”

Little by little, Elianne’s body lost strength.

[You have killed the monster.]

[Acquired 46 EXP for .]

[Remaining EXP required until : 142]

*

Water continued to be supplied until it reached the ceiling of the boss room.

Then, at the moment of 10 minutes, the wooden door of the boss room opened wide against the water pressure.

I rode a rapid that suddenly came out.

“Kyaaa!!”

Ellie Anne screamed as she slid down faster than her roller coaster.

I thought you were a bit scared.

We went back upside down, floating on the water, through the single path of the cave we had broken through, which was littered with orc corpses.

Louisa, Landau, and Elianne Maid were also on the surface without any problems.

Among them, Eliane was the only one who couldn’t even survive.

“Ugh… , Huh…….”

I have reached the entrance.

Ellie Anne laid her face on the ground and exhaled heavily.

Seeing the water suddenly pouring out of the cave, the dungeon manager was surprised and ran away.

The orc corpses we killed were also swept away by the water and discharged intact into the entrance.

Luisa approached me.

“Are you okay, boy?”

“Oh, I’m fine.”

All five of us were like drowning mice.

My clothes were all wet and my hair was limp like seaweed.

Lando took a deep breath and spoke to me.

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“You must have had a hard time too.”

After shaking hands lightly, we went to find the dungeon manager who had run away.

Fortunately, I found it not far away.

I dragged the person in charge who didn’t like approaching to the front of the dungeon.

And he showed us the orc corpses, evidence of our subjugation, one by one.

Originally, to prove subjugation by digging up the magic stone in the heart of a monster, there was no need to do that since all the corpses floated away.

“Is this a mutant orc?”

“Yes. He had a very large shield.”

“Huh… , shield… ….”

“There’s a shield over there,” Louisa pointed with her finger, notifying her manager.

The person in charge went closer to the shield and took a closer look.

“As far as I know, there have been no examples of orcs holding such shields, so it seems that the variant is right. You did a really good job.”

The completion mark was stamped on the quest paper with a stamp.

Now take this paper back to the guild and submit it to receive your reward.

She went back to Ellie Anne, and her maid pulled her towel out of her bag.

But the towel was also soaked with water.

When Ellie Anne saw that, she seemed to be embarrassed and she laughed.

“It’s okay. You can go to the dorm and wash up.”

“Okay.”

Afterwards, she rode the carriage back to the mercenary guild.

Submitted the quest paper to the staff.

Then she looked at her carefully, narrowing her eyes.

“You said you defeated a mutant?”

Me and Elianne nodded.

The staff tilted her head suspiciously.

“Wait a minute, let me check the authenticity.”

… Do you think we forged the quest completion stamp given by the person in charge?

It seemed quite unbelievable that an academy freshman who had just gotten his license had subdued a mutant orc.

An employee who went to the office space inside the reception desk returned to us 10 minutes later.

“Confirmed. Here is your reward.”

[The quest was successful.]

[Since you subdued the variant, the success reward is doubled.]

[Acquired 34 EXP points.]

The reward from the message window is different, and the reward from the guild is different.

The guild gave 4 gold coins to our entire party.

Originally, it was 2 gold coins, so the guild gave it twice as much.

“You take all the gold coins.”

“Yes? But we all did it together, but distributing it….”

“We don’t really need it.”

It is right to yield to poor Lando.

Eliane is also a noble after all.

Since Luisa and Elianne’s maids are also exclusive, they earn much more than the average commoner.

He turned his head towards Elianne.

Then he just nodded and expressed his intention to yield.

“Thank you both!”

He bowed his head and placed four gold coins in his palm.

He fiddled with the gold coins as if he was very curious.

“Do you see gold coins for the first time?”

“Yes, first time!”

I’m from a peasant family in the countryside, but I can’t believe I lived a leisurely life….

As expected, it was good to give the gold coins to Lando.

“Now that we have received the reward, let’s go back.”

“Yes!”

*

I went back to my dormitory room, took a bath, and lay down on the bed.

When the tension was released, muscle pain came from all over his body.

An almost dead dungeon expedition.

Still, I received double the experience points.

… Considering that I risked my life, I wondered if it was worth it.

Opened the status window.

——

——

As a result of steadily exercising within the academy, my physical fitness level increased a bit.

Even so, it’s not even the average of a common cadet….

Touched near the [Time Stop] To open the detailed description.

And I pressed [Use EXP Points].

Experience points, like skill points, are points that can increase the experience of a specific skill.

I don’t use [Two-handed swordsmanship] Anyway, so I put all of them into [Time Stop].

[Experience points have been used.]

[Acquired 34 EXP for .]

[Remaining EXP required until : 108]

It seemed like I could level up after doing some simple quests.

… I got double the reward, but I also didn’t want to risk death from a mutant, so I hoped that the mutant wouldn’t appear anymore.

“Brother, how would you like dinner?”

“I don’t have an appetite, so I’ll skip it.”

“Okay.”

Because of that variant [Great Oak], I was exhausted and had no appetite at all.

I just wanted to go to sleep.

Smart.

Someone knocked.

Louisa opened the door and checked.

“This is Delia.”

What’s going on?

I was told to come in first.

As I got up and sat down on her bed, Delia bowed her head in greeting.

“Joel, I heard you went to the dungeon today.”

She nodded silently.

Then she pouted her lips and said.

“Why didn’t you take your own healer with you… ? The exclusive healer’s job is to heal right next to you when you go on an expedition….”

I didn’t take the healer with me because it didn’t seem necessary, but Delia seemed disappointed.

“I forgot that. Sorry. I promise to take you with me next time.”

“Well, it wasn’t because I was a nuisance… ?”

“What is a nuisance?”

She answered with a smile, and she smiled a little as well.

Now Delia will go back to her room, she said, she thought.

But then she stood still and clenched her fists in her nun’s robe.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

When I asked, she suddenly fell on her knees on the floor of her room.

What is it?

Her head was filled with her question marks.

“Joel, I know I’m in no position to ask you anything, but I have one favor to ask of you.”

“There is nothing like that between me and you. So, what is your request?”

Delia sniffed her nose once.

And then he spoke softly.

“Please capture my father alive.”

“Captured alive?”

“Yes. So that I can kill.”

Her determined eyes looked up at me.
