chapter 29
29 – 29. Abi Gyu-hwan
At the same time, the central door outside the main auditorium.
There were two instructors standing there.
I heard that Moriam is here and that he left behind some materials.
They were leisurely instructors who came to convey that message.
“……”
Their expressions were not relaxed at all.
A male instructor with his hand on the crackling central door,
There is also a female instructor watching from the side.
After a few seconds of silence that felt like years, the male instructor spoke.
“…Ivan. Bring Ivan. Right Now.”
“What?”
“It’s a barrier. No, I actually don’t know. It’s so elaborate and precise that it’s hard to believe it was made in one day. So, it can be said that this inside is a different dimension from here.”
I need to bring Ivan.
I don’t know what’s going on here, but at least it won’t be a good thing.
I was confident that only he, Russell, would be able to attempt to solve the circuitry of this strange barrier.
It was a decision he could make because he had seen Ivan’s skill in unlocking Mana’s locks.
But.
“Hey, instructor Ivan…. “Is it inside?”
The world was very complicated.
“…What about Instructor Miho?”
“West Research Building.”
“…You should call instructor Miho. “I will gather all the circuit instructors.”
I sorted out the situation quite calmly,
It was hopeless.
Even if we brought in a few experts, we had no idea how long it would take to lift the barrier.
“Damn, what on earth!”
What on earth is going on?
Just crying represented his feelings.
—
I ran to the center of the main auditorium.
Thanks to the students who were still frozen and unable to understand the situation, we were able to settle in quite easily.
All the rear windows of the main auditorium became gates,
Students were able to understand that fact very intuitively.
Grrr….
A four-legged animal the size of an adult man’s torso that crawls out of there.
Sharp manes that cover the skin in pitch black.
Wild dog. Or it had the appearance of a wolf,
With bright red eyes and vicious thorns on one shoulder,
It was proof that it was a monster.
C-class monster, hunting dog Araham.
If you have read this far, even the dullest student will understand.
That they were in danger of death.
Kyaaagh!
Unfortunately, the first target was a male student.
Although his eyes were full of fear, he instinctively rolled to his left as the monster approached his nose.
Bang!
It was awkward, but I definitely avoided it.
The shoulder thorns hit the desk, and Araham growls.
There was no one to be proud of, saying that teaching was worthwhile.
Because the monsters kept popping out.
“Ugh, wow!”
Starting from the scream of someone who had finished assessing the situation, all the students started running in the opposite direction at once.
The fleeing crowd and the monsters chasing after them began to flow towards the front of the auditorium like a wave.
Confusion stemming from the most primal fear.
I rescue the thoughts that inevitably arise from this chaos.
“Kyaaa?!”
An accident that happens immediately.
In a chaotic situation, a female student tripped and fell.
“Oh, don’t come! “Don’t come!”
There is no way these monsters would listen to such a polite request,
I threw myself to block it.
Araham’s front leg and my right hand cross with a sound like a squeak.
First, we stopped one guy.
“Instructor!”
The fallen female student turned her head to the direction she hastily pointed to.
One more Araham is rushing towards me.
The female student seemed to think that I was on the verge of death.
“Bind.”
Boom!
What came back was the sound of a corps wild dog being thrown to the ground.
A magic circle unfolds on my left hand.
The basic magic bind fired from there accurately bound the charging monster and threw it down.
Leaving behind the cries of Araham, who was tied to the mana room and thrown to the floor,
He supported the shoulders of the fallen female student and lifted her up.
“Can you walk?”
“Yes, yes.”
“I will stop you, so go towards the center stage.”
There was Moriam at the center stage, and since he was also an instructor, he would be able to protect the injured from the monsters.
We rescue the wounded and send them to him, and he guards the place.
Still, it was fortunate that there were two instructors, so we were able to divide the labor.
“…Thank you!”
A female student stumbling away with a brief thank you.
There is no time to rest. She immediately tilts her head and looks for the next student.
I noticed a male student struggling nearby.
Nergite, a flying bell that falls vertically towards the male student from above.
I was dodging here and there, but since I didn’t have the luxury of armament, a counterattack was impossible.
Quad!
Then just buy us some time and that’s it.
After tying it up with a binder, I tried to stick it in the ground.
Kwaang!
·
In an instant, an explosion exploded across Nergite’s body.
The flying bell that was hit so hard died.
This familiar firepower belonged to Cheonhwa.
The source is the center of the stage.
Adella, who was located in the safest place, was constantly firing and swinging her sword like a puppeteer controlling her puppets.
On the other side, Scarlett was almost flying around, pulling students out from among the monsters.
Heroines who are more capable than you can imagine.
If we go like this, we can finish it without anyone dying-
“Get out of my way! “Why isn’t this opening!”
A voice coming from the center of the auditorium.
As soon as I heard that, my body reflexively stopped.
Of course, the behavior of a panicked student clinging to a door that cannot be opened is not unnatural.
The reason why goosebumps ran down my spine,
“Instructor, instructor! “They are coming!”
“Please save me!”
“Profit… ! “Get out of the way!”
Because he was an instructor, not a student.
The person hanging on the central door, swatting away the hands of the pleading students, was none other than Moriam.
I overlooked it.
I believed that a third-rate character whose name I couldn’t even find out in the original would be at least one person.
I thought you were trying to protect me because you stayed still, but
I was just frozen because I was scared!
–
Kyaaagh!
The defense line is breached in an instant.
The most important central stage, where Adela and her wounded were also gathered, was empty.
I have to do it.
I gathered the maximum amount of magical power that could be gathered in my left hand.
Ivan’s magical power is B.
“Bind!”
Mana threads spread out in an instant.
The proof of my struggle is that I pulled out the maximum number and maximum length.
Keeek!
Right under the stage, we were able to tie up all fifteen monsters that were on the verge of attacking the students.
“Adela!”
She is quick-witted.
Immediately, she focused her energy on one point and fired a single shot at the group of tied up monsters.
Quang!
Destruction. I sighed.
However, the price was also high.
A side effect of squeezing out too much firepower for a moment, temporary mana exhaustion.
Magic power is not gathered properly in the hands.
To make matters worse, there were two wild dogs running towards me.
You can only stop one person with your right hand.
“…”
At that moment, my eyes met with Scarlett, who was traveling through the battlefield.
She hesitated as to whether she should help me, but
I shook my head.
“I never thought we’d take it out already.”
Moriam was a top god,
Bind’s rampage became difficult.
However, that was minor.
It was within the scope of response.
Chris’ sword comes out of the inside pocket with a cool sound.
Holy Sword Baldr.
Because this was my main weapon.
“Instructor, avoid!”
A random student even worried about my safety,
I grabbed one of the wild dogs running towards me with my right hand.
Sigh!
Then, he and Araham cut him down with the sword.
The monster’s blood flowed onto the blood-collecting sword, and it began to glow red.
A sword with the ability to become stronger as it consumes blood, and monsters spread across the earth.
And, no matter how hard I fought, I no longer developed anemia.
It was a launch ticket for a strong, strong, heavy-duty sword wizard who completely deviated from the norm.
However, everything was lost.
—
Blood splatters and cries echo.
The sound of a weapon tearing skin and the sound of magic being activated intersect.
Among all the noises, the only fact is that there are no human screams.
It kept the spirit of each and every student strong.
The monster I had never seen before gave off the smell of death just by its presence.
My legs were stiff and my mind was completely white.
The survival style that was almost brainwashed from beyond their unconsciousness led them to take the correct action.
“Whoa, whoa…” .”
All students who are exhausted and injured, but still alive and well.
Everyone had similar thoughts.
If I kept falling asleep during the lecture back then, I might be asleep now.
How long has it been like that? One minute? One hour?
Because it was their first time experiencing real combat, even their concept of time became blurred.
They could tell.
The number of monsters is decreasing.
The proof was that students who were crossing the line also had enough time to look around and help each other.
A person who can move supports the injured person.
At the forefront of that virtuous cycle, there was a theory instructor running around holding a sword.
“Instructor, over there!”
Ivan runs around the entire large auditorium without stopping.
He held the monsters by their collars until the students evacuated, put on mana shields, and finished arming themselves.
Because of that, he ran out of mana and was now wielding a sword that I don’t know where it came from.
My uniform was stained with something I couldn’t tell if it was my blood or the blood of a monster.
As if he had reached the state of selflessness, he mechanically cuts down monsters and supports the students.
The words of a student who was watching the scene to himself were shared by all of the students.
“It doesn’t make sense….”
I thought the instructor was a being in the sky.
The nobleman thought that if he got a drop of blood on his hand, he would die.
Ivan was particularly sensitive to that aspect.
But, at this moment.
That instructor who acts as if he has a belief that he will be defeated before the student dies.
All the students were looking at me with eyes of respect.
And, as if the world is very sophisticated.
I was also able to clearly see the other instructor’s true self, who was as hard as a stone.
“……”
“Uh, uhm….”
Save the students, lead them, or at least not interfere with them.
Moriam seemed to have thrown away all the instructions on how to behave as an instructor with a half-hearted groan.
The cold gazes of the students spread out on the center stage are focused on him crouching in the corner.
Students remember clearly.
The boasts he made in his lectures.
He said that he was one of the best martial artists in the empire, and that he was a former A-class fighter and was aiming for S-class.
But in the end, it is only when you throw it into an incident that its foundation is revealed.
They felt it painfully.
How long has it been like that?
Students become accustomed to the sound of Cheonhwa’s explosion,
It was around this time that Scarlett, who had been concentrating on rescue activities, had enough time to hit the monster’s head.
Finally, the monsters had decreased to the point where you could count them with your fingers.
Seogeuk-
With a cold metallic sound, Ivan dropped the last monster’s head to the floor.
All the students sat down on the spot.
The thoughts that dominated my mind were simple.
I lived.
In this chaos, we survived.
“Let’s check the number of people. “Are there any deaths?”
The instructor, covered in blood, looks around while roughly wiping the blood stains from his body.
There were no deaths. The instructor who said those words in the first place was the closest to death.
“So, who is injured?”
There were quite a few.
Someone sprained his leg, and someone else injured his shoulder.
Even at a rough estimate, there seemed to be more than a dozen people.
For some reason, the entrance was blocked, but there were no injured people who were bleeding so badly that they were on the verge of passing out.
It is safe to say that everyone survived.
It was then.
Krureuk.
·
One of the fallen monsters.
At first, the unpleasant tinnitus was just a sign of death before becoming a corpse.
Cruk, croak.
However, it spreads.
An unpleasant noise transforms into an ominous prelude in the blink of an eye.
Knock.
Soon, all the students began to feel strange.
Ivan said after seeing the screaming feast and the writhing corpses.
“Ha, it’s dirty for once.”
Anxiety swirls in the sighs that are like testimony.
He told Scarlett who had laid down the wounded properly.
“Scarlett, please go to the back with Adela.”
“What are you talking about? “All the monsters are dead.”
“I want to believe that too, but the demon energy is starting to resonate.”
Resonance of demonic energy.
A concept he explained in passing during his lecture.
When a certain number of monster corpses accumulate in a limited space,
With astronomical probability, the demonic energy resonates and transforms into a single entity.
What is created like that is a monster made of corpses.
“I guess it’s level A. “I will be no match for you.”
“…You’re covered in blood. “What are you doing with that body?”
Scarlett’s voice is slightly trembling.
However, after shaking his sword and shaking off the blood,
I just walked to the place where demons and corpses were gathering.
“It’s not my blood.”
