I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 17

[ Hunting Ground (2) ]

After eliminating Arisha Arden, I put the blue epaulet in my arms.

‘Is this the extent of second-degree relativity?’

In fact, it should be said that she was able to win because she was Alisha. It’s difficult for me to deal with other guys because of their special abilities.

‘Druids and golem magicians are annoying, but…’

Among the first-year nameds, the most difficult to deal with is Doron Warska, the mercenary of the Sword of Swords.

Even with a 50% backup of the second precept, would the win rate be around 3:7?

“Ha……”

Anyway, Arisha Aden’s condition was more serious than expected.

Arisha Aden’s greatest strengths are her boundary-sighting nature and basic physicality.

Boundary eyes are eyes that see through gaps in dimensions. This naturally places the caster within the ‘area’.

In the game, it was portrayed as a special move that involves attacking in a stationary world, referred to as a ‘realm’, but in this world that has become reality, it is a state that clearly exists.

The ultimate goal pursued by Aden-ryu’s single sword’s area-slashing and six-chorus’s invincibility. I couldn’t even get to the end of Mugan in the previous episode.

This is a problem before physical strength or strength. Because it can only be activated in a world of concentration beyond imagination.

Still, regardless of these issues, there are flaws in basic skills. No matter how much I have three years of extreme experience, I would still be overwhelmed by technology.

At this rate, I’m worried about the Marie boss battle that’s less than a month away.

“Well… since I have basic physical strength, it will be helpful in some way.”

If all goes as planned, the mission at the beginning of Act 2 will be [John Doe, the murderer of the city of fog]. Marie experiences a prelude to awakening while dealing with a guy who has infiltrated the city in the latter half of Act 1.

‘Should I get closer to Alisha and train her for the time being?’

Although she didn’t regain her skills from the previous episode, I can get a rough idea of what Arisha lacks.

If you contact Runia Aden, who visited Merkava City in pursuit of the [Murderer of the Fog City], and provide an opportunity, I think he will follow you soon… ‘

He will be in the infirmary for the time being, though. I’ll have to take a look after I’m better.’

Since I was hit on the chest with a combination of the Bagua and a polymer technique, I will only be able to do basic physical training for about a week.

Did you ever know it would be this sloppy? Honestly, I think I would win in sword wrestling even if I fought with a sword.

“It’s level 3 over there!”

“catch!”

“These bastards…!”

The hunting ground is noisy.

Those who started to understand the rules cleverly formed a clique and started hunting.

Whether it’s a monster or a student.

As instructed by the academy, I understand the rules of Daguri very well.

It is only natural for students at lower levels to join forces and attack their classmates at higher levels.

The guys I encountered were one of those guys.

“Huh? What? You’re level 5?”

“Shall I kill you?”

“It’s okay. Pick up the level 5 and use it somewhere. Hey, level 5. Do you want to come with us?”

“huh?”

“You can act as bait. Hey, if you cooperate, I’ll give you about 10%.”

“They are having fun.”

I used my spear in a surprise attack and snatched the epaulettes attached to them.

“Uh what?”

“what?”

Before I knew it, I ran through the forest, ignoring the guys who were confused when they saw the tip of the spear stuck in my epaulet.

It’s a white epaulette obtained by killing two level 4 people… There’s also Arisha Aden’s blue epaulette, so if you add it up, you’ll get a pretty high score.

My goal is to score 100 points in this hunting ground. You can obtain ‘seeds’ and even obtain hidden pieces.

If you take one more level 2, you can definitely get 100 points, but how easy is that? It starts from meeting.

In the game, you can get 100 points even if you replay infinitely, but the reality is different.

Should we try to indiscriminately target other motives from now on?

-Quaang! Quack!

As I was running north, lost in thought, there was a loud noise that shattered the forest.

-Kwakakakakakak!

-Aaaah!

-This is a scam!

The sound of metal scraping and screams intersect and echo in the forest. The heated heat got closer and closer.

‘uh? Why is it so close?’

-Whoosh!

“Sigh…?!”

A heavy pressure falling from the top of my head. This weight… I instinctively stab the spear!

-Cow!

Pierce the falling sword head-on with an aura-covered spear. The two blades opposed each other.

“Tsk…!”

heavy. This is a magic sword made of heavy iron, which boasts a density four times that of steel.

A sword that has no special abilities, but simply uses its heaviness to compete. It’s an effective magic sword against large boss monsters, but the fact that it attacked me…!

-Kaang!

“What, did you deflect the heavy iron sword? You’re quite skilled, right?”

The mercenary man with the fish sword approaching while retrieving the magic swords could not hide his puzzled look when he saw me.

“Level 5?”

“Damn……”

The horrors of the battle were clearly revealed behind the man’s back.

Dozens of classmates collapsed. Not only the students, but also the corpses of several monsters and soul dust left behind by the demon spirits are scattered here and there.

All of this was done by one person. This was done by a former mercenary with a sharp nose.

“Doron Warsky……”

“Being famous is also tiring. People attack you from all directions.”

-I want to avoid work that doesn’t make money.

Despite the overwhelming victory of defeating dozens of people, the mercenary of the sword did not suffer a single wound.

“Can’t I just pretend I didn’t see it?”

“Why?”

Five magic swords threatened me. Yes, there is no reason for a wild beast not to catch a rabbit.

“…Things went wrong.”

Let’s bounce.

-Whoosh!

Demonic swords rushed towards me as I cut through the forest.

* * * *

Alisha trudged out of the hunting grounds.

“Ugh… I can’t believe Corin-san was that strong…”

Is he really level 5? The boy’s comments were too painful to ask such questions.

「Lack of easy practice relying on talent.」

Lack of practice… This is something that was pointed out a lot even at home.

“I had no intention of doing kendo in the first place.”

Although she was talented, Alisha had no serious intention of continuing her grandfather’s footsteps. I just kept going on a diet because it was cool.

More than anything, I wanted to be praised by my half-sister…

“The bleeding won’t stop!”

“It was treated non-lethal, but what?”

That day when everything changed. The moment she sparred for the first time changed her life.

He caught the eye of his grandfather and became his successor.

“You only looked at the sword and didn’t really learn anything else.”

Still, I couldn’t help but feel hurt by that comment.

“…Did I look pathetic?”

Does your benefactor think the same way when you see yourself? As I thought about that, my strength gradually weakened.

“That guy was strong.”

I think about Corin Locke.

I have never seen a spear so harsh. How much effort did it take to build that level of skill?

From the basics of creativity to the skill of overcoming weaknesses and perfected techniques… It was like looking at my older sister.

I felt ridiculous for not working hard because I was flattered by being praised as a genius.

“Shall we… try a little harder?”

When I return, I will have to practice my swordsmanship more. Don’t be satisfied with people around you praising yourself as a genius.

“I gave him information and candy… and also gave him some advice…”

He had a wild face and quite a few muscles…

I think about Corin Locke’s appearance carefully. Then I realized one thing that caught my eye.

“Oh, that belt…”

Wasn’t it similar to the belt of the benefactor he was wearing?

“Student Arisha Aden!”

At the sound of the old professor’s voice, Alisha escaped from her own world.

“Ah yes…!”

“Aden student. That’s not it.”

“yes?”

“That is a place where level 3 monsters live.”

“four?”

“The entrance is on the other side. Go that way. Don’t get lost.”

“Ah… yes…”

Alisha runs through the forest as if hiding her flushed skin. The girl, buried in embarrassment, completely forgot about the belt.

* * * *

Doron Warskai, the mercenary of the Sword of Swords, is a seasoned mercenary.

A veteran who has been a member of the Warskai mercenary group since childhood and has defeated numerous monsters and spirits.

The official second-class guardian certificate he received before entering school is proof of his experience turning the tables.

“The world is wide.”

Doron gazed at the shattered forest landscape and horribly hollowed-out clearing.

Old trees that were said to have grown for hundreds of years were torn apart like sheets of paper, and only traces of the disaster caused by the magic sword containing the power of fire and thunder spirits remained.

However, even this is far from Doron’s power.

‘We were attacked before we could demonstrate our power.’

The flame sword’s core was pierced before it could reach its maximum power, and the thunder spirit sword was buried so deep in the ground that even Doron’s characteristic telekinesis could not pull it out.

The magnetic iron sword, which is most compatible with acceleration techniques, has its weak magic structure cut off.

The fight was fought with five magic swords and telekinesis’ unique acceleration techniques, with half of them blocked from the start.

“What is he doing? He seemed to know all about my techniques and characteristics.”

But he was skilled before that.

Regardless of how he understands his opponent’s abilities, he is a skilled strategist.

I was embarrassed to be attacked by a magic sword, but after encountering the sword myself, my specifications were not that great.

If you just look at physical strength, even a level 3 knight can barely do pull-ups. If you think about it, he is at the level of a 4th grade knight.

Although Corin’s rating as a level 5 knight is very wrong based on that alone, it is also puzzling why someone with such skill has not yet become known.

‘You’re in deficit. ‘I am giving up on this practice.’

Three of the five magic swords are malfunctioning.

If you had the materials, repairs could be done quickly, but it took time to get the materials.

* * * *

“I almost died!”

It was pure luck that I didn’t get eliminated in the fierce battle with Doron.

It was fortunate that I was fully aware of his techniques and the characteristics of his magic swords throughout the entire episode and game.

‘If I hadn’t succeeded in disabling the most annoying flame sword and thunder spirit sword from the start, I would have gone straight to goal.’

This guy is the main party member of early players, including Arisha Arden.

Unlike Druids, who are a bit picky about the terrain, or Golem Wizards, who have clear limitations in interpersonal battles if not properly trained, they have good versatility.

In particular, the various attribute magic swords are exceptional in attribute attack and firepower, so he is a powerful companion character who will lead you until the latter half of the game.

The character’s personality is [miser] and [employment], so the expenses are high, but in terms of skill, she is better than Alisha.

“Great…”

Magnetic sword… The wounds inflicted by the super-accelerated sword accelerated by the acceleration technique he is proud of are painful.

Even though the sword was obviously sealed for non-lethal use, it tore off my shoulder just by grazing it.

But it’s okay. The wound on my shoulder has already started to heal.

‘Rebirth of a tenacious warrior. It’s working properly.’

A characteristic that significantly increases recovery when HP falls below a certain level during combat.

It is an ability close to regression that goes beyond simple recovery and restores the body to its original state.

“Hehe, I paid for my shoulders fairly, right?”

I broke three of his magic swords. It’s still in the early stages of the story, so it’s a mid-to-low-priced magic sword made mostly of grade 3 magic stones.

Since it is not a special product made by a proper first-class Blacksmith, the joints and joints are weak.

It will cost some money to repair it.

-Quaaaaang!!

In an instant, the forest shook. Water droplets scattering in all directions at the same time. Considering the distance, the range is ridiculous.

There is only one wizard in Merkava Academy who can perform water magic at this level in this forest.

“Marie?”

Northeast from where I am. It is probably close to the cabin that is the destination of this training.

If you can fight Marie this much, you’re a first-year named student. Is it one of the druid Yuel or the golem wizard Cranel Luden?

If you’re a Cranel, you’ll last about a minute, and if you’re a Druid, Yuel… it’ll be quite a fight thanks to the overwhelming advantage of the forest.

“Are you going to last about 3 minutes?”

However, the opponent is the strongest 2nd year student. No, among the named wizards at Merkava Academy, she is a genius comparable to Lady Josephine.

-Quaang! Quack! Kwakwakwakkwak!!

As the unique amplification and alchemy methods exploded, the forest let out a terrible scream.

The knights who have been fighting with blades until now will be mesmerized by something surreal.

Those who walk the same path of magic may despair in the face of overwhelming talent.

‘correction. ‘You’ll be lucky if you last 2 minutes.’

That’s Marie Dunareff. A magical favorite who falls into unwanted awakening.

This is the final boss of Act 1 that I have to defeat in a month.

“Ugh…I shouldn’t even go that way.”

I have to go back.

There is nothing more unfair than getting involved and being eliminated.
