Parallel World Academy

Episode 29 Midterm exam preparation period.(2)

* * *

The beam of light passed through Seo Chan-wook’s ear.

“Sheesh, I’m sorry. I should have pierced my head.”

Katarina clicked her tongue.

It didn’t take long for Seo Chan-wook to find Katarina on the roof due to the recent explosion.

This was because the theme of the urban area did not increase the area inside the training room.

In addition, the intense beam of light from the Helios Gun is bright enough to be easily recognized during the day, and it must have been very easy to find the source of the beam if the environment was set to night.

Seo Chan-wook started running to the building where the rays of light had started.

The sound of clattering, stepping on a puddle of water seemed to come all the way up to here.

Katarina fired a few more Helios guns as if she was not going to let it stick easily, but Chan-wook Seo skillfully blocked all the lasers with a shield that absorbed damage.

It is an added bonus that the fake citizens composed of holograms were startled by the sudden battle and started running away.

It would be better for the citizens to run away.

Rather, it is because the moment there are citizens who will watch the battle of the Awakened and do not run away even in battle, that battle is bound to become really annoying.

In that sense, this battle could be said to be quite lucky.

Seeing this, Katarina put her gun back in and went down the building.

Chanwook Seo and Katarina.

The two face each other on the street in front of the building.

“You always choose a spear and a shield.”

“For me, this is the best. Of course, I’m cursed for saying it’s a sh*tty combination.”

Seo Chan-wook seemed to know his strengths and weaknesses well, and in order to maximize his third ability, he chose a very classic armament, a spear and a shield.

As Seo Chan-wook said, most of them are armed with swear words, but originally, swearing at the enemy is the best compliment.

The spear and shield combination is definitely the strongest combination for infantry.

It’s just that the way I’m dealing with it isn’t very interesting, and on the other hand, even if I’m an attacker, the pattern is too loose, so it’s not fun, so I just listen to it.

“I will attack first.”

Since it was a close-quarters battle, the right to take precedence was naturally with Seo Chan-wook.

All of Katarina’s enormous attack power comes from her first ability and super kill, so if it gets blocked by a shield, it’s very embarrassing.

Of course, there is a limit to the amount of damage that can be absorbed, so if you take damage equal to Katarina’s Super Kill, it will exceed that limit and the shield will be destroyed.

As soon as Seo Chan-wook became the first ability, the manpower’s range, he activated his manpower and dragged Katarina into the range of his spear.

And the action that Katarina took while being dragged was unexpected.

Even though the blade was being dragged to the edge of the sunken spear, he maintained his composure and smashed the spear with Seo Chan-wook’s third ability and damage absorption.

A shield can also be a means of attack, but it’s not as dangerous as a spear, so is it a decision to remove the opponent’s means of attack?

Not bad.

Chan-wook Seo was also embarrassed at first, but as he was also a member of the U-Class, he quickly shook off his embarrassment and pushed Katarina out with a shield.

“It’s also Katarina. At any rate, no one has reached the limit of absorbing damage.”

“There is no one in the S-Class who can do higher damage than me with a single attack.”

And then, Katarina pulled out the Helios gun again.

“It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you use a weapon.”

“I also got enlightenment. Thanks to Park Seong-jin.”

“uh? Are you a new member of our club?”

“Perhaps it will.”

Katarina fired her gun at the same time as she answered.

Chan-wook Seo, who had already lost his weapon, had little left to resist the Helios Gun.

Blocking the beam with a huge tower shield was the only thing.

Chan-wook Seo activated the manpower again to try to resist somehow, but Katarina, who was so outstanding that even Olivia, who showed her sincerity in fighting skills, would not be pushed back, did not panic when she was dragged by the manpower.

Rather, as if thanking him for the opportunity to approach him, he just pounded on Seo Chan-wook.

The shield was somehow blocking the attack, but the shield had already collapsed and was losing its shape.

In the midst of the struggle, there was one fact that Katarina had completely forgotten.

The fact that his Helios gun in his pocket was about to come out of the pocket with a violent gesture.

And Seo Chan-wook was noticing it.

Seo Chan-wook decided to put a gambler.

It was a dangerous number to deliberately create a gap to induce Katarina’s big moves, then somehow take it once and seize the Helios Gun that fell from her pocket.

Seo Chan-wook started pretending to be weak.

At first, Katarina thought it might be a trap, so she carefully and slowly accumulated damage, but Chan-wook Seo’s attitude did not change even after allowing several attacks, so he was ready to deliver the final blow.

“It’s over.”

While Katarina’s round kick flies in.

Seo Chan-wook showed his wits and dug into Katarina, dodging the kick, and succeeded in stealing the Helios Gun from his pocket.

“Were you aiming for this!”

“It’s usually not that hard.”

Chan-wook Seo started shooting the Helios Gun.

Chan-wook Seo also had no experience holding a gun, so of course his shooting posture was a mess.

The only problem is that the gun is a Helios gun that fires a laser.

Naturally, even though the shots were repeated at random, a few shots landed on Katarina.

“Ugh… .”

The pistol model’s Helios Gun’s damage is often lowered, but that means that it falls ‘relatively’ to the end, not that it can be tolerated comfortably by a person.

The evidence is that there were traces of ugly flesh melted here and there on Katarina’s body.

“Huh, isn’t it better than I thought? I also prefer windows.”

Two numbers remained for Katarina.

The first is to somehow approach and induce close combat to block the Helios Gun.

The second is to accept the current situation, run away, and consume all of Helios Gun’s energy.

Realistically, the second method would be correct, but there was no such word as retreat in Katarina’s dictionary.

Naturally, the method she chose was the first.

She focused all her attention on the gun and started running forward.

And, what she showed was probably close to art (??).

Because the movement, which did not allow a single shot or impact, was a movement that Olivia or Vincent who was doing their best would try.

The distance between Katarina and Seo Chan-wook was getting smaller and smaller.

A look of embarrassment spread across Seo Chan-wook’s face, and Katarina only kept her calm expression as usual.

And Katarina jumps.

The place where her feet are headed is Seo Chan-wook’s chest.

[Winner, Katarina Belyaeva. Training ends.]

The sound of applause echoes through the training ground.

At first it started with just me and Vincent, but it soon turned to the applause of everyone in the training ground.

“I think that savvy thinking has changed a bit. Katarina.”

“I just thought that using a weapon wasn’t bad.”

“Is that the reason why that weapon is a Helios gun, is it because of Park Seong-jin?”

“… I won’t say no.”

Is it because of me?

what did i do

… ah! In the feedback about Hyeonu Chun and Olivia’s battle, you mentioned about guns that use energy bombs.

it will come back like this

“Good work. Seo Chan-wook.”

“Yeah, you too. After all, I’m not in a fight… .”

“You don’t have to worry so much. In the first place, aren’t you specialized in protecting someone? Rather, be content with what you did against me, who specializes in combat.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

It certainly is.

Rather, Chan-wook Seo deserves praise.

Everyone will agree.

However, there were a few aspects that I felt a little disappointed with.

“Park Seong-jin… did you say Do you have a face with something you want to say?”

“It’s a little sad.”

“what?”

“I can’t guarantee I would win, but there was a way to increase the odds a little bit.”

In fact, since Katarina is so strong, it may not have meant much, but there was definitely a way to interfere with Katarina.

“Oh, right? what is that?”

“I knew from the start that the gun would come out of Katarina’s pocket, so how many attacks did she allow to get Katarina’s attention?”

“right. Why?”

“Then we would have just taken the gun by hand.”

“My manpower is not strong enough to steal the weapon the opponent is holding.”

Well, maybe my explanation was a little unkind.

I don’t understand right away.

“no. If it gets stuck in your pocket and is loose, you can take it away.”

“… That’s right. You’re right.”

Actually, it’s not that I don’t understand.

It is true that it is difficult for anyone to make an accurate judgment in an emergency.

On the contrary, I may not be able to praise him for his hard work, but I might look rather negative for pointing out such a small mistake.

Nevertheless, Chan-wook Seo accepted my advice more than I expected.

“Yeah, Park Seong-jin is right. However, since this battle showed everyone progressing, that’s it. Let’s work harder next time.”

“”yes!””

In this respect, Vincent is softer than expected.

This is where you can get a glimpse of how he can roll around people and talk a bit rough, but fundamentally he has a pretty kind personality.

“Then can we take a break now?”

“What do you guys take a break for a topic you’ve only watched… . not. Just rest, yes.”

“”thank you!””

As soon as Vincent’s permission fell, everyone who had gathered dispersed and headed to the friends of another class.

… I am the only one who has no friends and is still here.

The other guys were originally attending Trinity Academy, so even so, the situation without friends is the same for Beatrix, isn’t it?

Again, I hope you don’t forget that she’s an Insa.

Moreover, the fact that she is a beauty of a different class.

Of course, you can’t make friends without making friends.

As I was enjoying my loneliness while sitting on the chair in the training ground, Professor Alice approached me.

“Did I say Park Seong-jin?”

What does this professor have to do with me?

Please, I hope it’s not a big deal.

Because I just hate work when I’m tired.

Well, it’s funny that I said something like this, with the goal of saving the world, a ignorantly tiring and difficult task.

Conversely, if you are carrying on such a tiring task, isn’t it normal to be reluctant to do other tiring tasks?

That’s right.
