NOVEL NEXT chapter 6
6 – 2. Tag – End.
The Dire Wolf has fallen.
The mother wolf’s tongue was finally able to reach her cub.
Dyers looked at them without making any expression.
As if he wouldn’t contain any anger, pain, or guilt.
I just looked at them with an expressionless expression.
The wolves saw his expression and tried to lick him as if they were grateful, but they couldn’t reach him.
After making sure they couldn’t reach him, the wolves circled around him several times, rubbed their faces on his injured leg, and disappeared.
At the same time, the giant wolf’s corpse disappeared and a large treasure chest appeared on top of it.
Jenna, who had gone mental for a while, regained her senses and called Dyers.
“Senior! You need to be treated right now! Because of me… So much blood…”
“I’m fine.”
“Never, not at all really okay! Go to the hospital quickly. Huh?!”
Blood was gushing out like a waterfall from both of his arms, to the extent that if his arms were just a little thinner, they would have been amputated.
His thigh, which he stabbed to get out of the [Status Abnormality], Is also bleeding.
Jenna seemed to be in a panic, and she was restless.
She had visited dungeons a few times to earn a living, and had been injured quite a bit in the process, but she had never been seriously injured like Dyers.
However, you look so calm.
Because of me.
Seeing that, Jenna felt like going crazy.
There is no more time. Dyers-senpai might die.
Thought so, Jenna pulled him by the arm.
“I’ll help you. Quickly…Let’s go back quickly, senpai.”
Dyers, who doesn’t know what’s so relaxing about Jenna, who is busy for a while, holds her scarred hand, and she puts the bandage on her, where she doesn’t know where it came from, with her bloody hand. .
Those wounds were not caused by a wolf attack, but by fragments of stones thrown from the way by a group of students who had betrayed Jenna while blocking her path.
Seeing that little bandage, Jenna’s heart soared for some reason.
“Are there any more injuries?”
“…Yes?”
Dumbfounded by her unexpected words and actions, Jenna widened her eyes.
Seeing that, Dyers asked again calmly.
She asked if there were any more injuries.
“I… I’m not hurt at all.”
“That’s enough. Thank God.”
When she saw Dyers-senpai talking as if she was relieved, Jenna became more moved and bit her lower lip.
What do you mean by luck?
It must have been so painful after being so injured. What?
Suddenly, he remembered how people who had almost died because of his mistake in the dungeon were angry with him.
Yes, this is the correct response.
It was the law for anyone to become sensitive to life-threatening matters.
It was their right to be angry.
Because Jenna’s mistake put her life in danger.
Moreover, the senior is the one whose arm was ripped off because of his own mistake.
Of course, now is the time to get angry. But why aren’t you angry?
“Wait a minute. I need to get a reward.”
But why, why do you worry about yourself in reverse? Jenna couldn’t understand her senior.
Ignoring her, Dyers opened her box and put it back on.
.
“Ooh.”
Various high-end potions, and a staff and dagger with a wolf-shaped ornament that looks ridiculously expensive. At first glance, there are more than a hundred gold coins, and even a ‘passing stone’ that I don’t know how it got into.
A stone of pass? Is this really the first thing you get?
Originally, the main character at the beginning of the game would never be able to win in tag game… Hmm.
A good thing is a good thing, so I put it away for now.
‘Good luck. There’s no elixir that increases lifespan, but… It’s the best starting pack for the early stages.’
[Remaining stat: 3]
I even managed to raise my stats by as much as 3 while catching the wolf.
Strength 10
Stamina 7
HP 11-＞14
Dexterity 5
Will 2
In order to increase the usage time of the unique attribute [Ghost Communion] Even a little, everyone invested in magic.
I will stand on mana.
It’s disgusting to even look at it, but it feels like it’s become a usable waste since its mana is 14.
Of course, it’s still less than half of the average magic power of Beatus magic students.
As I put them all in my backpack, I looked at Jenna.
I don’t care about the treasure, and the fact that my eyes are fixed on my arm seems to be quite concerned about my injury.
Anyway, it seems that my real head is dizzy and my physical condition is no longer the limit.
Not dizzy, but dizzy.
I hurriedly found the potion.
[ Panacea soaked in Dire Wolf: Recovers 80% of health, mana, and injuries when consumed. Fatigue is not recovered.]
There is also. Just two bottles.
“Eat.”
“It’s a recovery potion right?! Don’t be me but senpai, take both please!!”
Jenna kept turning her head as if she couldn’t take that much.
It’s a pity that the bobbed red hair is pathetically hanging down, but I can’t eat two.
This effect does not stack.
Whether you eat one bottle or two, it is 80% recovery.
If it was a 160% recovery, I would have eaten both without hesitation.
It’s a joke, and even if it overlaps, can the deceased ignore the newbie?
“Eat.”
“No!”
“Are you rebelling now?”
“I’m rebelling!”
This bastard?
I’m giving it all to you, but without even realizing it.
You know you won’t even have soup next time.
“If you don’t eat, I will never eat. Do what you like.”
As I said it in a semi-threatening manner, Jenna puffed out her cheeks in resentment and gulped down the potion while glaring at me.
He eats well.
It should be like this a long time ago while eating well. Seeing that, I also drank the potion at once.
Wow. It’s really terribly tasteless.
However, the effect was clear enough to feel that the blood and flesh were completely healed.
Jenna also looked at my arm, startled by the effect.
“Wow… The effect is really nice…”
I’m sure you’ve received your compensation and roughly healed your wounds, let’s go back now.
I started walking with Jenna.
.
Dyers, guided by Jenna, found her path blocked.
It wasn’t just blocked, it was smashed here and there as if someone had forcibly blocked it with stones.
“This is…”
It was blocked by the students who abandoned Zena and ran away.
Traces of making a rational choice to use Zena as bait to survive.
It was never a pleasant memory, so Jenna lowered her head.
Realizing that she was blocked, Jenna sought her way.
However, the senior calmly continued to move forward.
“Senior… The road there is blocked…”
That moment.
“Look closely.”
A powerful explosion shattered the stones blocking the path.
“If the road is blocked, just clear it.”
“Let’s go.”
Saying that, the senpai continued walking.
Jenna stared blankly at Dyers’ back.
Jenna was confused.
The basic human image of her that she went through was blocked if someone blocked her way, but no human had ever penetrated it.
The senior didn’t seem to be a normal person.
Everyone was busy blocking the road, but the senior calmly cleared the road.
Soon Jenna opened her mouth.
“At that time, why did you call me the main character?”
A random question.
Even Jenna, who asked her, didn’t know why she had asked such a question. She thought she was rude.
Dyers turned abruptly and rummaged through his backpack.
“Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?”
“It’s strange. I’m stupid, but at least I know what kind of person ‘heroine’ means. A heroine is someone who is strong, great, kind…”
“So, you’re not that kind of person. Are you saying I’m looking at the wrong person?”
Jenna gave her a small nod.
She was just a so-called ‘Hugou’ who always laughed because she was afraid of the world.
She says there is no reason not to laugh.
She knows herself.
She knows that everyone is ignoring me.
The more you laugh, the more people look down on you.
But I really don’t understand why he’s the main character.
In the moment of silence, Raonjena looked at her senior.
“Take it.”
Dyers handed over a stone of success and a dagger in the shape of a wolf decoration.
It was a completely unexpected situation, but Jenna got used to it and reacted calmly.
“This…Is your senior’s. I can’t get it because I didn’t get it on my own.”
If you have a passing stone, it will be of great help in the entrance exam.
The wolf-shaped dagger was also a coveted weapon as a swordsman.
But it’s not her own, so she can’t take it.
She asked several times to accept the senpai, but Jenna eventually refused them.
“Are you really not going to take it?”
“Yes.”
The senior said, looking like she was in a good mood.
“Yes. That’s what you’re like. But if you don’t receive this, I’ll throw it away, so you do it yourself.”
“You may not have been the main character in your life up until now. But at least you are the main character in your life at Beatus Academy.”
“I’m saying don’t forget that fact like an idiot. When you’re having a hard time, say it’s hard, and when you’re happy, say you’re happy.”
“…I don’t know what you mean.”
“That means you don’t have to force yourself to laugh.”
Saying that, the senior forced her to hold the wolf dagger in her hand.
Ah.
You knew that.
To Jenna, the world was a very heartless place. A place where you have to smile even if you are forced to.
Looking at myself like that, the senior said ‘don’t do that’.
When you think about it, it was a very natural statement.
My life is a world that goes back to the first person perspective.
I can see my seniors, but I can’t see ‘Jenna’, so the main character in my life has always been myself.
“Puhh…Hhh…”
Jenna laughed at Dyers’ words.
I just wanted to laugh, so I laughed because it made me laugh.
“…Don’t force yourself to laugh.”
“I wasn’t forced to laugh! Puchhehehe!”
Jenna seemed to know little by little about Dyers-senpai now.
She said that if she was just a ‘Hogu’, the senior would be a more ‘Hogu’ than herself.
A very, very peculiar person with a friendly nature.
Suddenly, the wounds covered with bandages began to heal little by little.
Jenna, unaware of that fact, kept laughing.
