I Became an Academy Blind Archer

24 – Performance Evaluation

I walked Sherry to the front of the building with arms crossed.

But, of course, it was a situation where he faced Luden just before arriving at his destination.

I took a closer look at her.

-There are blood stains.

As expected, Miroel, who has a good eye, catches it right away.

In fact, there is no particular reason why Luden is not usually at the training ground.

Because unlike her other students, she focuses on her practical experience.

So, it can be said that she goes to the dungeon more often than her training ground.

“Why is Baran here?”

Then, she looked back and forth between me and Sherry with her suspicious eyes.

If I leave it alone like this, I think something will be misunderstood, so I quickly turned around.

“Miss Sherry didn’t have an umbrella, so I was the one to take her.”

“Yes, yes! That’s right!”

As if agreeing with what I’m saying, Sherry nods vigorously with her face blushing.

“I understand that…how did Baran get into the women’s dormitory?”

“Ah.”

Anyway, it seems that there is no misunderstanding that the two of us are dating.

The reason she looks at me suspiciously is because I, a man, entered the female dormitory.

I felt embarrassed for nothing, scratching my cheek and replying.

“The guard lady gave me permission to drive her to the front of the building.”

“What? Who is that picky person?”

Luden opens her eyes wide with her face in disbelief.

She is surprised that she usually only looks calm. How difficult was she to do that?

‘I’m aware of the tricky setting, but. Is it that much of a surprise?’

While I was questioning myself, Sherry hugged me tighter and took my side.

“No, that’s right! The guard sister let Mr. Baran inside!”

“I don’t know anything else, but a man is someone I would never let in… Ah!”

She looks at me questioningly and then floats her light bulb on the top of her head.

Looking at my eyes and reacting like that, it seems like he found the reason.

“I see…”

“Looking at the reaction, it seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Anyway, then I will only take you here.”

“Yes?”

At that moment, Sherry swung her head at me! Turn

As if asking why I didn’t take her away all of a sudden.

I answered that question with a kind smile.

“Don’t you have Miss Luden’s umbrella? Judging from the magical power felt from Miss Luden’s umbrella, it seems to be bigger than mine, but if you use that, you’ll be able to go more comfortably.”

“Uh…”

“Miss Luden, are you okay?”

“Yes. I do not care.”

Luden nods her head with a grave expression.

I carefully handed Sherry over to Luden.

“Miss Luden says it’s okay, so I’ll leave.”

After those words, he quietly moved on.

Ignoring Sherry’s burdensome gaze from the back of her head.

-Disciple, keep looking at us from behind.

No, you don’t have to explain. Master.

***

Performance evaluation day that came after the weekend.

Finally today is the day the main episode takes place.

‘Huh, let’s prepare for unknown variables.’

Thinking of that while waiting in the auditorium.

“Now, everyone has been confirmed, and then, before entering the gate, I will explain the performance evaluation.”

Dale stands in front of the podium as if it were natural and pours magic into the crystal ball.

The next moment.

-Ugh!

A huge mana screen appears from the crystal ball.

A screen that looks complicated just by looking at it.

With everyone quietly watching it.

“Baran, now a map has appeared in the Crystal Ball.”

-Disciple, I will explain from the side.

Miroel and Lisa, who were next to me, explain.

Anyway, the two seem to think that I can’t see them, so they’re taking care of me.

However.

“Lisa-san, the mana screen is also magic, so I can see it.”

“Ah, I see. Ehehehe.”

She smiles an embarrassed smile as if she is embarrassed even thinking about it.

Soon after, Miro El avoided her gaze as well as her.

‘Well, actually, I don’t even need to hear an explanation.’

Just catch the artificial monsters on the island.

Of course, the score varies depending on the monster, and if the gauge suit reaches 0, you are eliminated.

‘Honestly, what happens after this is more of a problem than this.’

It’s a score. Just raise it to a certain level and the grade will be maintained.

However, the later episodes are more important.

That’s also true. Isn’t King and Jack, executive officers of the Demon King’s Army, infiltrating this island?

And from the middle of the test, Jack’s ability caused all the monsters to run out of control.

‘Sherido as a bonus…’

I turned her head to Sherry for a moment.

Then, as if feeling my gaze, she lowered her head with her face blushing.

‘It would be right to leave it alone for now.’

A butterfly effect could happen because of me.

Then you don’t know how the development will go.

‘If you do it wrong, everyone, including the main character, could die.’

Therefore, you should not intervene as much as possible.

If the butterfly effect doesn’t happen anyway, Luden will save Sherry on her own.

That time when I was tidying up my head for a while.

“Then, everyone can enter in turn.”

Soon, as if the explanation was over, Dale opens the gate.

In the next moment, thick magical energy swayed from the gate at the end of the auditorium.

Then, a subspace made of magic appeared.

Students going inside following the guidance of the teaching assistants.

I also followed the students into the gate.

It was the moment when the long-awaited main episode began.

***

The moment I entered the gate, a vast forest was reflected in my field of vision.

Well, of course it’s only natural that you can see the forest when you take the test on the island.

Rather than that, it is necessary to check exactly where the metastasis occurred.

‘Let’s see.’

When I used my inner eye, the entire island was reflected in my field of vision.

Innumerable pieces of information passing through the mind.

– Why is that? Disciple?

As I frown, she approaches me with a worried expression.

I roughly flirted with her question.

“No. My head is dizzy, probably because of the metastasis.”

-Well, there are usually people who get motion sickness if they can’t adapt.

She nods her head with her expression of conviction.

I paused my inner eye again and refined my breathing.

“Whoa.”

I can roughly figure out where it transferred.

There are two strategies for this main episode.

One is to defeat the boss monster that appears in the performance evaluation.

The second is to ignore it and attack.

Of course, you have to do the former to make the later difficulty much easier.

Because if you do it wrong, it could happen that Jack controls even the boss monster.

‘Originally, it’s right for the main character to deal with it.’

As a matter of fact, Luden transferred to a place quite far from the boss monster.

I think maybe the butterfly effect happened because of me.

Maybe it’s because the main character is a woman.

Anyway, now Luden can’t defeat the boss monster, so I have to step in.

Didn’t you prepare for unknown variables?

‘Then let’s go right away.’

With that thought in mind, I headed towards the boss monster.

***

Is it because it’s not too far from the cave where the boss monster is located?

We arrived at our destination quickly.

Just.

– Kiyiik!

While I was on the way, monsters sometimes attacked me, but for me, who has a mind-set, it was just leisure itself.

– Ugh.

I shot my bow without even looking at the monster attacking me.

Then, the artificial monster collapsed into a corpse.

-Looking at things like this, the world has really developed. Even create artificial monsters.

Miroel looks at the artificial monster with a curious look.

Well, from her point of view, monsters were just targets to be killed.

You wouldn’t have thought it would be made this way.

‘At least it would be welcome.’

At the time, it was obviously not mass-produced.

Because of that, it’s no wonder that Miroel is so curious.

I wonder if he’s poking at a monster that has now become a corpse.

“Master. That’s because I can’t even touch it. Come quickly.”

-The disciple is very realistic.

She babbles and follows me leisurely again.

Soon after, she asks a question in her puzzled voice.

-Anyway, disciple. Where are you going?

“I am going to go to the cave over there. I could feel a lot of magical power there.”

-Hey. Even if I don’t know anything else, I have to admit at least one feeling of the disciple. I’ll compliment you.

With her satisfied smile, she gently caressed the top of my head.

Umm, what is this feeling of being a child?

The moment I quietly feel her touch.

-Cooooo.

I heard the cry of a monster in my ears.

The guy who cries like that is none other than the boss monster.

This is the so-called sand golem cry.

‘But why is he making such a noise right now?’

As far as I remember, he’s the one who will stay in the cave unless he attacks first.

Aren’t the professors set to do that?

‘Couldn’t Jack have already played?!’

I ran quickly, just in case.

Then, I went up to a hill where sniping was possible.

“Whoa.”

If Jack hits first, he needs to kill the boss monster as quickly as possible.

I used my inner eye to look toward the cave.

Then, the image of the sand golem running amok was reflected in his eyes.

But.

‘Huh?’

Contrary to expectations, Jack is nowhere to be seen.

Let alone Jack, the person fighting madly with the sand golem right now is none other than Jack.

‘Why is he fighting?’

It was Kanya, the bun-haired young lady who was truly educated by me in Dalian.

I had doubts about the appearance of an unexpected person for a while.

‘No. Is there anything strange?’

Kanya is not a lead or supporting character.

She is just an extra.

Because of this, it wouldn’t be strange if she got knocked out by the sand golem.

‘It’s a bit embarrassing, but it doesn’t matter.’

Her poison magic cannot be eaten by sand golems.

Thus, it is absurd for her to win against the sand golem.

At that time.

[Quest Notice- Defeat the Boss Monster Sand Golem!]

[Description: Make the difficulty of the main episode easier by defeating the boss monster Sand Golem.]

[Reward: 1,000 points.]

A quest suddenly appeared.

I was thinking of catching the sand golem, but the system seems to be giving me a bonus.

‘Then what I have to do now.’

I’ll have to hold on until Kanya sheds as much of the sand golem’s blood as possible.

Kanya, fighting!
