I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 11. Lightning King (2)

Episode 11

One

Huge horns that grew from both temples and extended forward.

Yellow eyes that split vertically on the black jaundice.

Thick muscles and a height of up to 8m.

The red fur looks like it is stained with blood. If he had demon wings on his back, he would be trusted even by a high-ranking monster Balrog.

The sharpened double-edged ax in the right hand adds to the monster’s ferocity.

“Quoooooo-!!”

The Minotaur roared and started running forward.

I see restraints stuffed around my hands and neck, but that’s no consolation. Rather, it is more terrifying because of the thick chains attached to the restraints.

The monster charged forward, and some of the cadets in the path moved their bodies belatedly, but it was too late. With a single charge, the seven cadets flew through the sky and fell to the ground.

In the meantime, the neck was protected, but the limbs were strangely bent.

The Minotaur raised his double-edged ax high above the fallen cadet.

No one dared to think of helping. All I could do was stand there and say things like no way, please, no.

At that time, only Yoo Ji-min and Jin Hyun-min moved.

Biting their lips, the two men, momentarily enraged at their own weakness and powerlessness, dug into the monster from both sides.

Yu Ji-min grabbed his ankle, and Jin Hyun-min swung his sword at the double-edged axe.

However, Jimin was knocked out by the kick, and Jin Hyun-min’s sword, the double-edged axe, only slightly opened the trajectory.

She jumped out like a water swallow. I grabbed my stomach and whimpered for a while, then stood up from my seat.

As she limped and tried to run forward again, someone caught her.

“stop.”

A low, cold voice.

It belonged to someone she knew.

I tried to shake off my shoulder and leave, but this time my arm caught me.

If you shake it off again, your shoulders go away, and if you shake it off again, your arms again.

She couldn’t shake off his hand, which wrapped around her like a snake.

“It’s no use.”

She looked back at Siu with burning eyes.

“Leave this.”

The girl who approached me with a friendly smile yesterday was nowhere to be found.

Tears welling up in red eyes from burst blood vessels, and tangled hair approached me with miasma instead of misery.

This is probably the closest thing to what I’ve seen.

However, he did not panic and spoke calmly.

“It’s no use.”

The painful fact became a dagger and stabbed her.

it was a shame To her, who was raised to kill monsters through bone-breaking training, it was telling her that you couldn’t be the monster’s opponent.

I was angry.

I was about to shout, “Who are you to judge me?” However, the mouth did not open. The reason was unknown.

Is it because of his calm tone or because of his hands that are not released like fetters? Or is it because of those terribly sunken eyes?

He tried to run away in anger at his own incompetence, but he was caught and he couldn’t even get angry. Jimin didn’t know what to do now.

I couldn’t even tell the truth. Not showing weakness was a long-standing teaching of her family and her pride.

“… … You can’t just sit still.”

So he said. If he stayed still, that cadet would die, and instead of hiding his weakness, he put forward a plausible reason.

“know. I understand.”

At that one word, I was speechless again.

Who are you to understand me

Her lips opened and closed over and over again. No words came out of those three or four openings and closings.

Yoo Ji-min was dissatisfied with him. Actually, the first impression was not very good.

Caught in his gaze by chance, he gave himself a sense of inferiority, and in the second meeting, he rejected an elaborate proposal, and now he is arrogantly blocking him by saying that he understands him.

Her piercing gaze was on him.

A lot of words are rolling in her mouth.

“Have you tried anything?”

Those were the words that broke through the closed door.

“okay.”

With those words, the man pulled himself hard.

Jimin was dragged into his arms, and soon a strong shock was transmitted through his body.

“Ugh.”

There was a short sore sound. Jimin looked up and saw only a man with an expressionless face.

“I’m guarding him.”

Then she looked back.

I saw a familiar face soaked in blood.

The man who caught Jin Hyun-min with one hand put him down and released his arm wrapped around her.

And he left them and walked forward.

The minotaur’s yellow eyes were on him.

I didn’t know when that cow head would go crazy with mad cow disease, so I grabbed her in a fit of anger. Sure enough, it was Jimin glaring at him with a face like a demon.

Siwoo, who was at a loss for words for a moment, spoke calmly.

“It’s no use.”

In the worst case, I thought that he could wield a knife at himself, but he listened to me surprisingly well.

I only said the bare minimum because I was afraid I would incite more anger, but it was the right choice-

[Ᏹ?@*?’s soul’s ‘purity’ calms the anxiety of the opponent it touches.]

I thought it was -, but it was just a characteristic.

“Have you tried anything?”

“okay.”

After that, after receiving Jin Hyun-min, he pretends to be there and goes to the Minotaur.

The monster’s yellow eyes were on him. He was breathing heavily and shaking his upper body, which anyone could see was angry.

This is because the prey disappeared while the two flying flies interfered.

Judging from the round wormhole on the floor just before disappearing, there must be a high-ranking wizard outside.

Bang Bang-!!

Bang Bang-!!

The Minotaur stomps the floor. Smashed lattice tile pieces fly in all directions. You seem pretty angry.

However, even though Siwoo was slowly approaching him, he did not attack.

It is because he has turned off his superficial seclusion and fully displayed his momentum. The intimidation emanating from him was oppressing the Minotaur.

With each step he took, the Minotaur roared loudly and smashed the floor further.

However, it was too much to say that it was an effect of coercion that could easily be resisted if the toughness was high.

Didn’t Yu Ji-min overcome the coercion and approach easily?

It was only that much of an effect, but it was hard to understand that the Minotaur, a mid-level monster, was taking a backward step.

“Why, why are you doing that… ?”

“what… . Strange.”

A murmur is heard. The cadets who came to their senses at Work Cry express their doubts.

Bang bang-!

Their concerns, worries, and fears were buried in the roar and were not conveyed to Siwoo. Even if it was told, I would have ignored it.

Siwoo knows the reason for the Minotaur’s fear of masquerading as a threat.

In Desire’s worldview, the setting of a species called the Minotaur is quite unusual.

The original owner of the Thunder King, a name that is too worthy for a cow-headed monster, is a monster.

About 100 years ago, sword master Kim Cheol-jin was killed by killing an arm and an eye, but he was resurrected by a pagan in the latter half of the year and is also one of the raid bosses.

The Minotaur was born from the blood of the Thunder King. Over the past 100 years, generations have deteriorated and deteriorated to become mere monsters, but the monster’s blood flows.

That’s why the monster hunter’s effect was activated.

[There is a monster that is hostile to the user.]

[＜Intimidation＞ is changed to ＜Contempt＞.]

[Contempt]

▶look down

– All power of monsters in battle is reduced by 30%.

-Defense and endurance of monsters in battle are reduced by 30%.

– A monster in battle may leave the battle.

▶One-way traffic

-Increases the damage received by monsters in battle by 25%.

-Increases the chance of monsters in combat getting abnormal conditions by 30%.

-Increases the duration of abnormal states of monsters in combat by 15%.

Siu extended the plum sword to the side.

The red bandages loosened on their own, revealing a black and blue sword body.

“Whoa-”

Take a deep breath and raise your spirits.

Even if he was despised by the Minotaur, he was an upper-middle-class monster. Even with the strongest moves, it would be difficult for him to get even a significant blow, let alone a fatal blow.

Siwoo is clearly aware of the gap between himself and the monster. There is no such thing as being defeated in one blow like the main character. He thought of the best move he could make in this situation.

The plan was made. All that remains is action.

Pishuuk-

His new body is elongated. Tiles shattered where he had just been standing and fluttered backwards.

It was a speed that was hard to track with the human eye, but it was clearly seen by the eyes of the monster.

The figure of a hunter who was close to the ground and shot at his ankle.

Right before the sharp blue sword touched his body, the Minotaur’s ax hit the floor and blocked his path.

Quaang-!!

Large sparks fly between the scattered stone fragments.

Siwoo did not continue the attack and stepped back. The Minotaur’s gaze did not leave him from beginning to end.

As expected, the Minotaur was strong.

If it runs rampant, it will be much stronger than now… … . I already wanted to give up everything, but Siu fixed his sword.

[Event. Stop the rampage of monsters.]

▶ During the afternoon lecture ‘Via Monster Combat Training’, monsters run amok.

▶ You don’t know when it will explode.

▶Success condition: Survival of all cadets.

compensation

▶1,000P

failure

▶X

It seems that it doesn’t matter if you fail because there is only a reward for success and no penalty, but this is a trap.

The condition for success is the survival of all cadets. In other words, the quest fails only when a cadet dies.

Then, who is most likely to die in this situation?

Event. Siu, who knows the viciousness of the quest, knows the answer.

As if it was a surprise quest, it seems like it will only give out rewards, but Desire’s initial notoriety is because of these event quests.

It looks like there is no penalty for failure, but in reality, there is a high probability that a major NPC will die during the quest.

Just look at the current situation.

If someone dies from the Minotaur… .

Siwoo, who is using ＜Contempt＞, would not be for the time being. That said, it must be the other cadets except for him… … There are two people who have already been attracted to aggro.

Jin Hyun-min and Yoo Ji-min.

If it dies, it will probably be these two.

There can be no absence of a leading role. He doesn’t want to save this world alone, nor does he want to fight monsters alone.

I thought, ‘That cow will go crazy soon. someone must die Please save me!’

“Please, save me.”

Siwoo said so in a very calm voice.

I tried to say it because I felt stuffy inside, but it felt more stuffy.

“Whoa-”

Siwoo attacked the Minotaur again while practicing the plum blossom swordsmanship. The petals followed him.

bang-!!

I pretended to aim for the ankle and aimed for the side, but the damn monster noticed Sue and defended it.

His Maehwa, who defeated the armored mammoth, only inflicted small wounds on it.

It is because of contempt that the Minotaur is still wary of him and does not actively attack him even after a series of uneven blows.

“Damn it, the cow is a f*cking coward.”

However, it will not be an infinitely passive attitude toward contempt.

People panic and avoid cockroaches, but they catch them the moment they feel stressed.

The Minotaur will also attack Siwoo when anger explodes due to contempt and attack.

When that happens, the aggro from Jin Hyun-min and Yoo Ji-min bounces back to him.

If it runs out of control after that, the Minotaur will attack Siu.

Of course, you have to endure the one-on-one with the runaway mid-level monster. Then, a high-ranking wizard or instructor who notices the strangeness will come to the rescue.

It will take 5 seconds.

Until they noticed the monster’s condition and rescued them.

They are proud of being the elite in the world, so they will come in about 4 seconds at the earliest.

Of course, if you can survive the bombardment of the raging Minotaur for those 4 seconds.

The best is that after the Minotaur retires all the cadets, including Shiu, he runs amok alone in an empty field… .

There’s no way that monster would run amok with such good timing.

I have an ominous intuition that they will rush at the worst timing and run into the last aggro target, Yoo Ji-min and Jin Hyun-min.

Best is impossible. The second best doesn’t exist and what’s left is the worst and the lesser.

Siwoo chose the lesser evil among them.

“life.”

By all means, Siu rushed at the Minotaur again, hoping that he would notice the monster’s anomaly as soon as possible.
