NOVEL NEXT chapter 43
43. midterm exam (2)
●
“how…”
A student from the Faculty of Engineering who saw the huge kite shield completely shattered said that in a trembling voice.
It was a family heirloom. A treasure that is no different from a symbol of a family that has sufficiently proven its performance on the battlefield over many years.
My father bluffed exaggeratedly, saying that this would be able to block falling meteorites, but it was clear that it was reliable equipment even if it wasn’t that neat.
and.
“Hey.”
The human who turned it into scrap metal with his ‘bare fist’ scratched his head and opened his mouth.
It was a look full of annoyance.
“Is this all? really?”
It’s not something that would come out of the mouth of a person who eliminated dozens of students alone, unarmed, and bare-chested.
Most of Elfante’s students are confident in their own level. If there were dozens of people, most of them would not be able to guarantee victory even for people who were equivalent to professors.
that, alone.
It doesn’t take long.
There.
Even through the eyes of the Faculty of Engineers, who had a knack for strengthening the body, it was clear that the other party wasn’t using even the slightest amount of superpowers.
It means that there is a difference of that level in purely ‘trained’ body specifications.
Considering that Ryu’s ability to strengthen the body is a way to inflate the basic physical ability several times in common, this human’s ‘real ability’ is, indeed.
“What kind of monster are you…!”
It must be at an unknown level.
“A horn.”
However, the other person just sneered at such words and replied.
“The problem is that you guys are weak.”
Liru Garda snorted and kicked the student in the head lightly.
The student’s body rolled backwards with a whimpering sound.
It was obviously excessive violence for the midterm exam, which was obviously over by just taking the necklace, but Li Lu was not impressed by the violence itself.
Isn’t it natural for the weak to be beaten by the strong?
So, before that pointless guilt. She was suffering from endless tantrums.
‘How come there’s no good guy?’
The time since the ‘Civil War’ of the tribal union and the time since she came to the Empire as an exile was, for her, moments that were tantamount to being imprisoned.
Having obtained a student status that he had never obtained before, he was poking here and there where he could fight.
Battlefield. battle. life and death.
For a human being who could sum up his entire life in those words, this academy was too peaceful.
‘At my age, they should have killed at least three or four people to be normal.’
Because of the barren environment surrounding the tribal union, it is an environment where even survival is impossible unless you grow into an excellent warrior in the first place.
Compared to him, all the humans in the empire were weak, indecisive, and even weak.
I can’t be angry if I’m not annoyed.
Even if he didn’t use magic at all, it would be like seeing him being pushed helplessly.
“…”
Except for one guy.
The only human who could keep up with her speed came to mind.
The name is obviously…
‘All… all… what was it?’
Unfortunately, Li Lu’s memory wasn’t very good.
Anyway, that guy.
The guy who figured out that the power she wielded was legal power as soon as he saw it.
“…under.”
Legal power is a special power that is allowed only to a very small number of people even within the tribal union.
The number of people who saw the operation firsthand not only in the empire but also within the tribal union could be counted on one hand.
But being able to figure it out as soon as I saw it was one of two things.
I myself know how to handle magic.
Have you ever met someone who handles magic?
And if at least one of the two is satisfied.
That fits perfectly with the conditions that Li Lu can think of as ‘a person who needs to fight first’.
Especially if you think about why you and your clan were ‘expelled’ from the tribal union.
“Oh, where can I meet him? I want to hit you once.”
“If you do that for no reason, you will be kicked out of the academy, Lilu Garda. If you’re in exile, wouldn’t it be better to behave a little less conspicuously?”
Hearing her name casually called, she flinched and turned around.
He was the first person I saw.
A uniform worn without a single gap. Black longsword. Not good for silver hair. A badge that reads ‘Elnor’ on the chest.
student president. He had heard beforehand that she was one of the humans who knew her identity in advance.
And, above all.
‘…There weren’t any good guys at all.’
Li Lu, who had read the other person’s rough skills, smiled with satisfaction.
He must not be a human who sat in the chair representing the Elfante students for nothing. This is an opponent I want to risk my life to fight.
He’s probably a bit weaker than her, but he’s still on a level where he’ll be able to catch up to the bottom of his chin.
“The violence you are committing has already gone too far. I can’t just watch it from the position of supervising the progress. We were busy with a request, but didn’t we get called because of you?”
“So what are you going to do?”
Li Lu smiled and raised her fist.
“Are you going to kick me out?”
I had a thought that I would like to please.
Since it’s a request, I want you to pull out that sword and rush to kill yourself with all your heart. I thought so.
“I will have to chase you. Although I won’t.”
Having said that, Elnor pressed a switch he took out from his bosom.
At the same time, white light emanated from the necklace Riru was wearing.
Before she could react, Li Lu frowned at the aura that covered her entire body.
‘Divine power?’
I don’t feel like doing anything special. I just feel the strong intention to ‘remove’ her from this great plain.
And, you put that divine protection on all of the students’ necklaces?
‘…was there such a powerful divine ability in the empire?’
If it is a divine protection that allows you to designate and move the opponent, it is a fairly advanced skill.
Not to mention giving this to all the students who are now in Great Plains.
I even get the ridiculous idea that even a saint was brought from the Holy Land.
Of course, even a saint would not be able to endure this completely.
This is a level that can be stably supplied with at least 10 Archbishop-level humans.
If less than that, well.
It is only intended to torture the user.
This is especially true when considering what would happen if the phenomenon of ‘sacred power depletion’ occurs.
As I tilted my head at that thought, the answer came back from the other person.
“Anyway, go and cool your head. It may not be a fair competition, but fighting for barbaric reasons like yours is prohibited in Elfante.”
“…Are all the people of the Empire just cowards? I guess your father taught you to act this way too?”
Among the things that can be brought out to the humans of the Tribal Alliance are two superlative swear words.
Insults for being a coward and gossiping about my father.
However, upon hearing this, Elnor only sneered without any reaction.
“I agree that the old man is a coward. You have pretty good eyes, Lilu Garda.”
“…”
On the contrary, seeing him say that makes him look strangely satisfied.
I guess I’m having a really bad relationship with my father. After all, imperial bastards are strange.
However, it’s a pity to just step back like this. At the very least, when we meet later, I have to create a reaction that will be hostile towards her.
She thought of a few more words to provoke her opponent.
‘Ah, that’s right.’
There was one more regular pattern that worked especially well for the warriors of the Tribal Union.
“Well, I can’t deny that I’m a coward. Seeing that, everyone around you must be an idiot, right?”
“…”
Elnor’s eyes narrowed.
Oh, it’s kind of responsive.
Lilu continued with a smile.
“Do you have a boyfriend? If there is, I will take it away in front of your eyes. Even then, did you take it out like a coward like this once-”
She closed her mouth as she continued the sentence.
“…”
Elnor hadn’t said anything.
However, those eyes.
Those eyes that glowed red.
no way
It was the eyes of a ‘monster’ that did not feel human.
“…”
Riru, who faced that, took a step back without even realizing it.
It was an act that shocked even oneself.
‘…were you scared? I?’
The one who has passed through the battlefield called the hell of public interest dozens of times.
I was just frightened by the other person’s eyes.
And that’s also against opponents who thought they could win if they fought until just a while ago.
〚Liru Garda.〛
And Elnor’s frosty voice fell on her blankly.
What dwelled there was obviously a different atmosphere from before.
Like.
It’s as if ‘something’ different from usual is dwelling in the other person’s body.
〚I’ll take a look. Your position is also a position, and it is obvious that you are provoking without knowing your style.”
Seeing the figure of Elnor approaching recklessly, Liru took a few steps back.
A feeling of pressure that could even stop breathing came to Liru. The legs don’t even listen.
〚So, never twice.〛
and.
[no one. from me You can’t take that man away. Got it?〛
Lastly, that voice that sticks to my ears.
Her body was ‘transferred’ out of the Great Plains.
“…”
In the empty waiting room, she looked down at herself with a blank expression.
‘…just that, what was it?’
sure thing.
The student council president with that ‘foreign object’ was that he could never win in a fight.
It’s just that the skills are lacking, not the level.
From ‘birth’, the feeling of being different from her.
I’m convinced that I can’t win even if I train for the rest of my life.
“…”
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this, isn’t it?
She smiled wildly again.
His whole body was drenched in a cold sweat, but his mind was more uplifted than ever.
Even in this place, she has an opponent to fight. There is a person who wants to fight to the death.
In other words.
You can become stronger through struggle.
“…”
It was after I mentioned ‘boyfriend’ that the momentum over there completely changed.
It would be better to see it as a reverse.
In other words. If you touch it, you could say it’s a means to ‘unconditionally engage in a fight’.
then what you have to do
‘…is that guy the key?’
It must be ‘attacking’ them somehow.
she flashed her eyes

＜System Message＞
[The target ‘Lilu Garda’ starts to take an interest in you! ]
[The target ‘Elnor’ has opened his skills under your influence! ]
[‘Gangsin降神 – Rage’ is added to the target’s skill set. ]
[This function will be added to ‘Skill: Guidance’! ]
“…”
Sometimes you want to grab the system by the collar and ask.
I didn’t really do anything, but why the hell are these things being added?
And, in the first place.
‘A strong god?’
This is a technique that manifests, albeit limitedly, the fragments of demons on the body. The ‘anger’ attached to the back means that the emotion was maximized to that extent and opened up.
In other words, it is not usually opened in anger. It only opens when you really want to kill someone?
‘…what the hell happened?’
I thought so. It was clear that now was not the right time to think about it leisurely.
i’m busy too
“A real heinous bastard…!”
“How could you wear a human mask and do something like that…!”
“…”
Listening to the verbal abuse pouring out right in front of my nose, I feel like I want to make excuses.
So, that.
One woman dragged around with one hand as if it were some kind of burden, and dragged the other around on a leash.
“It’s not like treating people like animals…! miss! Warrior! Just wait! I will rescue you soon!”
“Even for the sake of the other friends who died earlier…!”
“…Are there that many of your friends?”
He asks in a dumbfounded voice.
Now that I’ve come this far, I’ve only been attacked about 10 times.
You said it was all your friends…?
“Everyone who attacks you is your friend!”
“Look at how you fought and tell me, you scumbag!”
“…”
Well. I don’t have anything to refute.
Of course, they were easily repulsed by Elijah and Yuria. In the first place, what are the freshmen afraid of when they have a candidate for a warrior in one of the devil’s bowls?
Rather than blocking it, it was more difficult to control Yuria by dragging her leash so that she didn’t get closer than three steps.
Problem is, that’s it.
In the eyes of others, if I pulled the leash out of the blue, Yuria would have looked like a bizarre figure dragged around while giggling.
‘…That’s all I saved you guys.’
I mean, it’s never weird.
never…!
[Why are you so angry? I’m fine.]
no. Now, even if the person concerned said such a thing, there is no defense at all.
Morgols are usually doomed.
Elijah smiled bitterly at the sight of Yuria tilting her head as she said that.
“Still, this time it won’t be easy.”
Elijah said, looking around at the people in front of him with his eyes narrowed.
The previous raids were small-scale, but the guys camped in front of me now are a large crowd of nearly 100 people.
It’s a strange feeling to see these guys gathered here to beat me.
‘…Are these all Elijah fans?’
Being a sasaeng fan is so scary.
I expected this to happen from the moment I teamed up with this guy.
“If you want to break through all of this, there will be no fighting. It’s a sanctuary if you just pierce it, so why do you have to do this…”
Elijah, who had easily organized the raids so far, directly brought out these words, the number of opponents was frightening.
It’s not just a lot, it’s an exquisitely well-balanced combination of the Faculty of Knights, the Faculty of Magic, and the Faculty of Divinity.
It would be absurd to say that it was simply broken with 3 people.
“no. Rather fine.”
“…Yes?”
uh.
Rather, I was waiting for something like this.
Mainly in terms of character development.
Raising proficiency through actual combat is also a way, but in this way, there are ‘colleagues’ and ‘large-scale enemies’, but there is a secret skill that can be used.
“…”
Of course, that is only possible when a battle with the other party is possible, and the gap between us and the other side is at the level of the sky and the earth.
I have a ‘means’ to close the gap.
If the opponent is well balanced like that, there is only one way to break it.
overwhelming force.
“…”
He smiled and tapped the amulet.
mister. wake up.
[…uh? huh? what?]
Inside the amulet, Caliban muttered in a drowsy voice and stood up.
Thanks to my lack of divine power yet, this person spends most of his time sleeping inside.
It’s always like this unless you wake it up when you need it.
Whisper quietly to the amulet.
“Let me ask you a favor. Please come out once.”
[…I don’t know what it is, but it must be a tough situation?]
At the same time Caliban muttered that, a white curtain spread nearby.
[The spiritual body is summoned! ]
[Skill: The Image World is activated! ]
[The buff is shared with ‘party members’ in the nearby space! ]
And here.
“hey.”
“…Yes?”
He looks at Elijah, who opens his eyes, and whispers.
“I apologize in advance. If it makes you feel bad, it’s okay to hit it a little harder later. I accept everything.”
I think it’s a bit… overkill, though.
It seems to be necessary in this place. Maybe.
And, before he can answer, he hugs him tightly.
with one arm. until it touches my body.
[…Look at this guy? Did you wake me up to show me something like this?]
As soon as Caliban let out such a sentence with a laugh.
“…!”
While Elijah’s body stiffened and Yuria’s eyes widened beside her.
He smiled at the crowd in front of him, who had become quiet in an instant, and spoke.
“But there you are, you guys.”
Slowly, calmly, as if telling the truth.
“What are you doing to get this guy back at will?”
I speak with a grin to the guys whose mouths are wide open in shock.
“I never said yes.”
“…”
“Should I take permission from the ‘owner’?”
Silence spread all around. passing a little more A little further.
At the same time as the blush rose on Elijah’s face, screams that seemed to be tearing spread all around.
“Kill that bastard!”
“I’ll chew you up, you bitch!”
The swear words and shouts that burst out are covered by a louder voice than that. Students, each with their own weapon, pour down around them.
oh wow, that’s scary
But the scarier it is, the better it is for me.
[ A crisis situation is detected. ]
[Judged as a situation that could result in serious injury. ]
[ ‘Skill: End of Life’ is applied as A grade. ]
ruler. then.
The word ‘buff’ generally refers to a skill that ‘strengthens’ a target.
That is to say, that is.
[Check the activation of ‘Skill: Imaginary World’. ]
[Share ‘Skill: Desperate (Grade A)’ with target ‘Elijah’ and target ‘Yuria’. ]
right.
