NOVEL NEXT chapter 51
51 – School Trip (3)
All the people on the cruise moved to the shelter due to the sudden pirate attack.
And unlike the students, the professors gathered in the conference room with displeased faces.
“Whoa. I never thought that pirates would raid in the middle of a school trip.”
The professors nodded their heads as if they agreed with Dale’s grumbling words.
It is usually difficult to encounter pirates passing by, but who would have expected that they would meet in this way?
Eldin, a middle-aged professor, asked a question to the captain driving the cruise.
“Does the captain think it will pass?”
“No. I don’t think so.”
At that question, the bearded captain shook his head.
Soon, he adds a reason.
“A normal pirate will see this cruise and just pass by. Because if you do it wrong, you will get hit in reverse. But.”
“But?”
“Looking at the flag of the pirate ship now, it looks like a black beard pirate.”
“?!”
At those words, the professors’ eyes widened.
The Blackbeard Pirates.
They are also names you have heard at least once.
Although he never goes out to sea, isn’t he famous for being vicious?
“Hmm. Is that so.”
At that time, Dale reacted with a sad face.
I know it’s actually vicious.
However, that’s all.
There is a difference between being vicious and being strong.
“I know you are the academy professors.”
The captain puts on a serious expression at his reaction.
He continues.
“But, this is the sea. You definitely shouldn’t fight like you would fight on land. Then the ship will sink.”
“Hmm. I’m sure it is.”
The professors nodded as if they understood what they were saying.
Soon, Illya, an archery instructor, steps forward.
“Then a wizard or an archer will have to step in this time.”
“Surely…”
“To avoid damaging the ship, the answer would be to attack from as far away as possible.”
“Hmm. Quite a few archers probably won’t be able to reach the ship.”
As the captain said, he pointed to a ship far away.
Hearing that, Illya understood.
“Certainly there is a shield inside that ship and the distance is quite far.”
“Yes. That’s right. So, first attack with magic…”
“You don’t have to worry.”
Dale interrupts the conversation between the two.
At his words, the captain had doubts.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Because there is a student who will solve it on his own.”
“?”
In an instant, all the professors in the conference room except for the captain remembered a student.
That’s nothing but hope.
“I will call the desired student right now.”
With that said, Dale called Baran.
***
I was dumbfounded at the sudden call.
In fact, usually in pirate raids, wizards tend to go first.
At the same time, it is national rule to defend against those guys from entering, but the professors called me.
‘Well, I can do that until here.’
The reason I’m really confused right now is none other than that.
“Whoop whoop. They will never forgive you.”
“How dare you interrupt?”
“Annoying.”
Lilia, Sherry, and Luden are also following.
No, why did you only follow me when I called?
Of course, it’s not just these three people following.
Kanya and Lisa came along as a bonus and at the same time.
“Whoa.”
The son of the Gloucester family, who is in charge of the wind of the four elements.
Shannon von Glaster is also following.
‘Hmm. But why does it feel like I haven’t seen you in a long time?’
That was the time when I was leisurely thinking that.
“Did you come… Hmm?”
Dale looks at us with a somewhat surprised expression.
I guess I never thought it would come this much.
“Hmm. Come to think of it, I didn’t ask the student who wanted to come alone. Anyway, it’s not like this, I’ll talk directly. The desired student, do you feel hungry over there?”
“Mmm. It definitely feels. There is a lot of dark magic.”
At those words, I nodded slowly.
Then he smiles smirkingly.
“Then you can feel that there is a barrier over there.”
“Yes. I can definitely feel the concentration of magic within the ship.”
“Is it possible to snipe there?”
“Hmm.”
At that question, I quietly looked at the pirate ship.
Originally, the development of the original work is to defend against the coming of those guys.
However, now that I think about it, there is no reason to do that.
Aren’t I a prosecutor like the main character?
“I think it would be possible to do without Possession at this distance if Peep adds strength.”
After organizing my thoughts, I nodded slowly.
“Yes. It seems possible enough.”
“Then, please. If you attack that barrier, you can leave the rest to us.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With those words, I quickly summoned my followers.
The next moment.
-Chikiyiin!
Pepper appears flapping its wings.
At the appearance of such a peepee, the rest of the party except for Luden widen their eyes.
“Wow. I heard about it, but did you really make a contract with the Phoenix?”
“It is very warm.”
“Sure.”
The party admires Peepy.
In addition, the professors were also here before they knew it, probably feeling Peep’s magical power.
The most surprised among them was definitely Illya.
“I never thought I would see a legendary class member with my own eyes.”
I am quite surprised by the series of exclamations.
Well, from Peepee’s point of view, it certainly looks plausible.
Of course, to the end.
-Contractors! Chicken!
Unless the kid hanged himself on the chicken.
I opened my mouth, feeling absurd inside at the consistency of the guy.
“You know. If you help me, I will give it to you.”
-Hmm. It was. So, who should be George this time?
Instead of answering, I quietly pointed at a pirate ship.
Then he shakes his head up and down.
-Can I go right now?
“No. I think I just need to do what I practiced the other day.”
-Hmm. That’s enough to eat cold porridge.
Well, actually, it’s not a very difficult skill from Peep’s point of view.
To be precise, I’m the one who’s crazy.
I slowly breathed in the magic that drifted in the air.
“Whoa.”
In the next moment, the magical energy floating in the atmosphere slowly focused on me.
After concentrating the magical power flowing over me.
– Ugh.
It was created in the shape of an arrow.
Until now, there is nothing different from before.
However, it does not end here.
Pepper immediately breathed his power into the arrow.
-Flame!
In an instant, blue flames rose from the arrow.
‘Okay. That’s about half of it.’
I radiated mana into the circuit this time.
At the same time.
– Hwaaak!
After strengthening his body, he blew magic into the primordial palace.
-Wow!
A bow made of magic appeared.
But, of course, this is not the end.
-Flame!
This time, Peep naturally injected his power into the primordial bow.
Then, sparks rose from the bow made of magic.
Originally, it would be normal if your hands were hot.
But, is it because of the contract with Peep?
There was no damage to the hand.
I mounted an arrow on a string of flames.
And then.
-Soooooh!
I pulled the bowstring with all my might.
‘Then finally.’
I slowly looked at the crystal ball operating the barrier inside the pirate ship.
Soon, the space was interfered with with the magic that drifted in the atmosphere.
-Ugh!
At that moment, a small subspace appeared that could only be seen by my eyes.
I shot an arrow made of a blue torch toward subspace.
***
Same time.
Craq called Blackbeard.
He is a pirate famous for being vicious in the world.
Normal pirates are vicious, but Creq is known to be worse than the others.
From his point of view, the huge ship in front of him was no different from a treasure chest.
Because there are usually a lot of things that can make money in such a luxurious ship, aren’t there?
‘It wouldn’t be bad if I took that and made it my own.’
Thinking of that, he stroked the beard on his philtrum.
At that time.
“Captain, there are Edin Academy professors inside. Is that okay? I heard that even demons do not touch Edin Academy.”
One of the sailors asks a question in a worried voice.
Craq snorted at the question.
“Ha ha! Anyway, they were the ones who fought only on land. Did they really try to fight in the sea?”
At that, the rest of the crew nodded as if they agreed.
It’s not that they haven’t fought against the strong.
However, all the guys called the strong had something in common.
That is an experience that has never been fought in the sea.
Surely, if they fight on land, they will be defeated.
However, he prides himself on being stronger than anyone else at sea.
So, Edin Academy’s professor or whatever, I wasn’t too worried.
Because I thought I wouldn’t lose to anyone at sea.
That time when everyone was sure.
-Puuu!
Suddenly, my stomach starts rumbling.
What is it? What happened?
The moment when Craig has doubts.
“Captain! The crystal ball that opened the barrier exploded!”
Unexpected news came from one of the sailors.
At those words, Craig’s brain stopped for a moment.
“What is that…”
What the hell happened?
Certainly there was no momentum to attack something on the cruise, right?
‘Whoa. Anyway, it’s not like this.’
An unexpected situation happened and brain freeze came, but at this time, we have to act quickly.
The inside of the ship exploded.
At this rate, it is clear that the ship will sink before arriving at the cruise.
“Tsk, I can’t do that. Get ready to seize that ship right now!”
Saying that, Krek led the crew and headed for the cruise.
It is absurd that a normal person can swim faster than a cruise.
However, these are none other than pirates.
You can think of them as people who have spent half of their lives at sea.
As a result, it is not enough to be specialized in swimming, so going on a cruise by using even strengthening the body is an instant.
So they arrived at their destination.
The pirates threw hooks and climbed onto the ship.
At that time.
“It’s coming now.”
‘I wanted to come when.”
“Sure.”
As if they had been waiting for this moment, Luden, Lilia, and Sherry smile eeriely.
Seeing that, Creq remembered what the sailor said earlier.
-Captain, there are Edin Academy professors inside. Is that okay? I heard that even demons do not touch Edin Academy.
I noticed the look in their eyes in an instant.
Why do demons not touch Edin Academy?
