The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide - Chapter 26

Glaskan subjugation battle (6)

The tip of my nose stings.

It is a familiar feeling to Yenika.

When I sprinkled too much pepper on the cream soup in the student cafeteria when I had a fight with Clara who I was always close with when my beloved dad was seriously injured by a cow on the ranch or when I returned to Sylvania after a long vacation.

Every time that happened Jenica frowned and endured this spicy sensation that came up to the tip of her small nose.

‘I want to cry.’

I know what that feels like.

Although she smiles brightly like an immature princess from a fairy tale no one knows that Jenica is actually a deeper human being than anyone else.

Even if you spend just one day together you can clearly see that the source of Yenika’s unique lively and easy-going atmosphere is paradoxically her infinitely adult inner self.

That’s why even her family friends faculty seniors and juniors can’t help but look at her with envious eyes. This is especially true because she is a promising talent who has never stepped down from her position as the head of the second year of the Ministry of Magic.

Living with that expectation I suddenly look up and see this.

Velosper a high-ranking dark spirit reigns leisurely at the top of the Nail Pavilion combat training center. His limbs are like those of a human but his head is that of a grotesque mountain goat. The bat-like wings are huge. He stretches from his back and tries to cover his nail tube. The burning mace held in one hand looks as if it could sweep away the seats at any moment.

Needless to say it is a clear image of the devil. It was a sight that would make those who saw it take their breath away and take a step back but the subjugation team members stood with their feet firmly planted on their seats with steadfast eyes.

Tailley McLaure Ayla Tris Fenia Elias Cloel Ziggs Epelstein Elvira Anniston.

If you look at the faces of the punitive force they are burning with strong will and fighting spirit rather than fear.

If you close your eyes after looking at that scene you will naturally sense defeat.

I will lose this battle ugly. The doubt becomes certainty. However the emotions rising in my chest are not frustration or grief.

Yenika slowly opened her eyes again and immediately raised her oak staff.

As expected the tip of my nose stings.

It was a quite familiar feeling to Yenika.

*

After jumping down like crazy from the rooftop of the Obel Building and reaching the outskirts of the Student Square again the Takan war was coming to an end.

-Quaang! Quang!

“Aaaah! Wow! “Die you crazy bastard please die!”

Lucy’s high-level lightning magic was frighteningly powerful but it could not kill Tarkan instantly.

Even considering that Lucy’s magical state was not normal and that she did not have time to properly cast magic in such an unexpected situation Tarkan’s persistence in enduring it deserves applause.

However Tarkan’s shell was completely burned so its incredible level of magic resistance disappeared.

The magic hits effectively.

With that fact alone the difficulty of defeating Tarkan goes down exponentially.

Clevious was screaming and dodging Tarkan’s attack. Although she was trembling with fear and shedding tears her movements to avoid Takan’s tail lashings and kicks were truly amazing.

This may be because Clevius’s agility is great but it is also because Tarkan’s movements have become noticeably slower compared to the beginning.

The figure is that of a dying beast. It is in its final struggle.

[ ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ. ]

Tarkan’s ear-piercing roar cuts across the sky above the student plaza again.

The roar that was first shouted in the nail pipe corridor was the brave roar that warlike warriors shout when entering battle. However the roar Tarkan is shouting now is a scream of pain that cannot be overcome.

I’ll make it easy for you right away.

I stuck to Lortel who was providing fire support.

“Lucy?”

“It’s rolling around a corner nearby. “It would be great if I could finish it but I’m not sure if I have the strength left to do so.”

it’s okay.

I’m rather glad. I was worried about what would happen if Lucy had finished it. Even if her magic power is almost depleted Lucy will be able to easily subdue Tarkan.

As I’ve said many times my ultimate goal at this point is to strike Tarkan’s final blow and suck up a huge amount of his skill proficiency in the spirit world. There is a high possibility that Lucy’s strength will actually be hindered.

“I didn’t see it that way but Clevius is also great as a vanguard. Even though I was injured I never thought I would attract Tarkan’s attention to this extent. “If he would just shut his mouth he would be a good warrior.”

“That sharp mouth is the key.”

hey! Ouch! evil! You guys! What are you staring at there? Please save me! Please use magic! What are you doing! Argh! “I’m going to die if this continues please!”

Clevious’ greatest strength is that more than anything else he is insanely easy. If you do anything you’ll start screaming and screaming so you’ll naturally look down on it and think you can handle it quickly but that’s not the case.

Even if it’s rotten it’s okay. He is the head of the first year of Sylvania Academy’s combat club.

His strangely low self-esteem ironically often becomes his advantage. Tarkan’s position is also understandable. It looks like Clevius who is squirming like a mosquito can be dispatched with a single tail swipe but no matter how hard you try to subdue him he cannot be subdued in time.

“I really won’t leave you alone! really! Just use it as bait and sit there! “I won’t leave you alone!”

The sight of me screaming and running like crazy will soon reach its limit.

“Let’s finish.”

“I’m trying to do that. Even though two ice spears were pierced with all her magical power she clenched her teeth and held on. “Why do you have all that tenacity?”

“You have to cut his throat.”

I tried to raise my magical power and concentrate it at my fingertips. In order to train me to the limit I fired magic like crazy in the student library and the remaining magic power in my tank was almost at an all-out low. However it is sufficient to be able to fire a few basic spells.

“Your ice-blocking magic isn’t good at cutting cleanly so I’ll do it. It’s time for me to take responsibility and finish it so I’ll stop his movements just once. “You can do it right?”

“It is possible. “If only now.”

Anyway the important thing is to exploit weaknesses.

If it weren’t for that shell even Tailley who had not yet been properly trained could be cut down sufficiently. My wind blade has already reached level 10 mastery so I should be able to cut it down in one blow.

The problem is range. Tarkan swings its tail and feet like crazy and destroys everything around it. If you go into its range and make a mistake you will be shot with one hit. It’s amazing how Clevious avoids attacks almost like a circus.

“You have to stop Tarkan’s movement the moment I approach. In that split second I will blow Tarkan’s head off with my wind blade from close range. “If Tarkan is not subdued at that point I too will be in danger.”

I tapped Lortel on the shoulder.

“I’m risking my life for you so you have to do it right.”

“Ahaha. Senior Ed makes it so easy to say things like I will take responsibility and do it or that I will risk my life for you. Actually if you look at it it’s all a gamble.”

“It’s not gambling.”

I know about the Golden Daughter Lortel because I have encountered it countless times. This woman is a monster of reason who quickly overcomes her embarrassment and faces reality no matter what unexpected events may occur from the first act to the last chapter.

You may not be sure but I already know. In political affairs there were many situations that were more urgent and required more caution than this. Lortel is the right person for this kind of work that requires remaining calm until the end.

“This is an investment. “Life is never cheap so do your job well.”

At those words Lortel’s expression hardened for a moment. But soon as if it was fun

“Investment is my specialty.”

I let out a wicked smile.

“To be honest it would be better to leave such close combat to Clevius right? Even though he is the head of the combat department a sword would be better suited to cutting something down.”

As expected this is a valid opinion. As a member of the Ministry of Magic there is no need for me to get caught up in close combat. If Clevius were able to avoid Tarkan’s attack with his strange movements it might be possible to crawl into the arms of that terrifying Tarkan and cut off his head.

But I have to do it.

why?

Because I have to take the last hit!

The enormous amount of combat proficiency and proficiency in elemental skills given by the high-ranking fire spirit Tarkan is a treasure that should never be wasted.

However you can’t say that out loud and in the end anything that can be used as an answer is bound to be a hasty excuse.

“Do you think Clevius would do that?”

At those words Lortel’s pupils seemed to widen slightly and then he let out a beautiful smile like a flower bud blooming.

is it so. Just trying to get Tarkan’s attention and risking your life to jump into his arms are completely different things. There’s no way the coward Clevius could do something like that. “Okay senior Ed.”

Even as he talks so casually Clevius is screaming and being chased by Tarkan but no one is paying attention.

If Tarkan has the berserk buff applied and is in good condition… A weakened Tarkan will not be able to easily suppress Clevius. That guy is so agile that it can’t even be compared to a squirming mosquito.

“By any chance don’t die. never.

The tone of speech is abusive. The way he narrows his eyebrows comically and imitates the princess’s lines with a sinister look is clearly meant to be mocking.

“You insulted the royal family.”

“The so-called benevolent princess will be punished for such a foolish imitation of vocals. If you’re curious about whether that’s the case senior Ed can report it to you.”

And then the story continues.

“To put it bluntly I hate Princess Fenia. “I may have my own reasons but anyway I’m sick of being swayed around by such an immature leader.”

“That sounds pretty dangerous.”

“It’s so funny that they make such an immature person pretend to be a monarch just because he is born with royal blood. “If the order of the world is to run properly it would be reasonable to line up people based on ability not blood ties.”

I just listened quietly without answering.

“That’s a pretty dangerous statement right? “It’s been a long time since I revealed my true feelings so clearly.”

“What happens if I report it to the princess?”

well. I don’t know either. They might not believe you or you might be put to death. “I guess we won’t know until we report it right?”

“What is the purpose of suddenly saying this?”

Lortel’s next words with a playful smile were so characteristic of her that I didn’t even feel like saying anything more.

“Senior you arbitrarily risked your life for me. So I will also sacrifice my life to you.”

Raise both hands and pretend to squeak.

“The balance of the two arm scales must always remain level. “The secret to Elte Company’s longevity is conscience.”

We all know clearly that this is hypocrisy so it feels tacky to point it out again.

If you think about it this was Lortel Kecheln. Even the way this girl pays tribute is overly complicated. There is absolutely no way to simply reveal one’s true feelings.

That was the characteristic of the merchant family.

*

We’ll have to settle this quickly before Clevius pees his pants.

A situation where the Belosper match and the Tarkan match are taking place at the same time. It may seem crazy if you just listen to it but the final battle of the first act which went astray in the affair somehow ends well.

Once you enter the Velosper battle Tailly’s sword sacredness will appear and there will be no more surprises.

As Sword Seongsik progresses his performance becomes more and more ambiguous but at least in the first act it is filled with over-spec techniques that boast overwhelming power. Everyone knows how helpful Geomsungsik is in getting through early scenarios.

So if you have Princess Fenia who will implement defensive magic and Ziggs who will be in charge of mobile warfare you can defeat Velosfer with just Taily.

At the point when Tarkan was cleared away and the path was cleared the story had already returned to normal.

What happens next is obvious. Yenika and the punitive force face off and Velosper uses large-scale berserk magic to send the spirits into a frenzy once more putting the party in a corner. At that moment Tailly’s sword saint cuts down the manifested Velosfer with a single sword but Velosper who is cornered and about to die uses Yenica to activate the unfinished Glascan summoning circle.

Of course it is not possible to summon a complete Glass Khan using a summoning method that has not been properly finished. However he succeeded in summoning his right arm. The moment when Glaskan covers the teaching building with the magical power of his right arm which extends from the summoning circle and instantly destroys the punitive force. Tailly’s second sword saint expression appears immediately and cuts off his right arm.

At that moment Tailly realizes the Way of the Sword Saint. This is the moment that becomes the starting point of all stories.

If the flow of political affairs has returned from then on I will only have to take care of my own interests.

Anyway this is a chance to defeat the named boss the high-ranking fire spirit Tarkan. I couldn’t waste this golden opportunity that made my mouth water. Now that it’s like this it’s best to catch Tarkan and gain a lot of proficiency in spirit skills. This is a chance to raise the mastery levels that are narrowly below the target.

Goes.

I took a long breath and walked out of the student square.

Lortel who had prepared his ice spear nodded. The relaxed attitude from just now is gone. In his mind he thinks I risked my life.

It certainly requires a great deal of courage but it is definitely not unreasonable. I am fully aware of Tarkan’s abilities and he is in a weakened state so if I get support in time I can easily win.

The key is to attack weaknesses. Cutting off that head.

“Kwaaaaaaa!”

Clevius had lost his temper and was running around like crazy. It was time for his weakness to wear off. Although Clevious seemed so easygoing Tarkan seemed to have realized that he was actually not that easy.

As I approached Tarkan turned his gaze towards me.

The body is completely ruined. Tarkan and me too.

We both realized that fact.

Without looking any further Tarkan roared and jumped at me. The earth shakes and my ears ring. As I was watching Tarkan running directly from the front I could understand how scared Clevious was. Even while he is in such a state of complete disrepair he is running like crazy dragging his creaking body with the sole intention of killing his opponent.

Not yet. It needs to be narrowed further.

Lortel knew that too so he didn’t fire the ice spear. I have to keep getting closer and closer creating an opening at the moment when his neck comes within the range of my magic.

-Cow.

But there was a surprise. That was Glaskan’s summoning circle that embroidered the sky.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaa! What is that!

The first to scream was Clevius.

In the dawning morning sky the Glaskan summoning circle emits a dazzling light. And what pops out after tearing the summoning circle is a right hand large enough to cover the entire nail tube.

Belosper was subdued.

That means the story has entered Phase 5. Now Taily cuts down that Glass Khan and the whole story ends.

No matter where you are in the teaching building you can clearly see that disaster. The sight of a right hand made of dark energy coming out from the summoning circle in the sky looks like the end of the world.

It was an expected surprise but the timing was bad.

No matter who you are you can’t help but be distracted by that sight. It’s a sight like the end of the world. It’s strange if you’re not distracted.

The problem is that Tarkan is not like that.

I quickly turned around to see Tarkan running towards me like crazy.

The moment he was about to shout to Lortel who was probably unconscious to come to his senses an ice spear flew towards him.

The flying ice spear hits Tarkan in the face taking away his sight and hearing and making him scream.

Lortel turned around and was looking at me with a serious face. Even in the midst of such a great disaster he was focused on me. I see his lips moving slightly. It’s now. After saying that he entrusted the following matters to me.

The next part is not difficult.

When you turn around and look up you see a huge lizard writhing in pain.

I chanted the wind blade which I must have used hundreds or thousands of times and rammed it into his neck.

[ High Fire Spirit Tarkan has been defeated! ]

[The mastery of the spirit magic ‘Spirit Sensitivity’ has increased! ]

[The mastery of spirit magic ‘Spirit Understanding’ has increased! ]

[The mastery of the spirit magic ‘Spirit Sensitivity’ has increased! ]

[The mastery of spirit magic ‘Spirit Understanding’ has increased! ]

[The mastery of the spirit magic ‘Spirit Sensitivity’ has increased! ]

[The mastery of spirit magic ‘Spirit Understanding’ has increased! ]

[ Spirit contract slots are now open! Contracts with spirits are now possible! ]

“I have seen so many people in my life who truly risked their lives. “They were all cowards.”

The manifestation of Tarkan who had been completely suppressed was canceled and not even a trace remained.

Lortel Clevious Lucy and I were sitting side by side under the zelkova tree outside the student square.

Clevius was crying so hard that he was completely exhausted and downcast and Lucy was falling asleep next to me while nibbling on some beef jerky. Even if things continue like this this guy will disappear again in no time.

The sun was rising beyond the half-broken nail tube. If you look at the sky there is a crack in the barrier covering the teaching building.

There was no need to explain the story immediately after Glaskan’s right-hand man was summoned. Tailly whose sword spirit was manifested jumped into the air and cut down the guy in an instant. It was so refreshing and hot that I even had to laugh out loud. Of course a very dramatic scene was created in the nail tube area but this is the view seen from a step away from the stage of the story.

It’s really funny that the final chapter itself is a battle to defeat Glaskan and Glaskan itself is deleted after just one cutscene. How can I get the same impression as when I played the game?

Still the sight of the entire teaching building being engulfed in a storm and Glaskan’s manifested right arm being suppressed and disappearing was truly the protagonist’s actions. Everyone except Lucy who was dozing off was just looking at the splendid and dazzling sight.

Just like that the curtain on the final scene of Act 1 was falling.

“Obviously the main force of the subjugation was the entry team to the combat training center and that team must have risked their lives as well. Still we fought risking our lives as we did so we can talk about it with confidence wherever we go. “I really risked my life.”

Lortel said such useless things with a mischievous smile.

“Well there were definitely moments in Sangdo’s life where his life came and went. “This is my first time experiencing such an intuitive crisis so it was an experience.”

Lortel’s life was almost as thorny as Tailley’s so to just say that he almost died but it’s good to live alone. We have certainly experienced quite a few crises like this.

okay.

I nodded roughly while looking at the brightening sky.

Lortel didn’t seem to like such a brief response so he raised his upper body with a sullen expression and thrust his face towards me.

“What is it senior? “We overcame a life-and-death crisis together but my impressions are too brief.”

“I’m so tired I’m dying. I couldn’t even sleep. “You too.”

“Of course but. What kind of trouble is this? ”

The sun rises and the light of dawn brightens the day. It was a long night.

A punitive force was seen walking out of the half-destroyed nail pipe.

Tailly who has manifested the Sword Seongsik is at the front. His dark hair is colored grayish-white and his eyes are bright red.

After that Ayla Fenia Zix Elvira follows. Everyone had big and small wounds. Ziggs who must have been through a lot as he was in charge of her vanguard is limping on her feet and Elvira looks like she’s going to get worse at any moment.

Still everyone seems to be safe. In any case the story seemed to have gone smoothly.

Lortel stands up to greet the punitive force carrying the news of victory.

Then as if he remembered something he suddenly turned around and held out his hand to me. He spoke his name slyly.

“Lortel Kecheln.”

“… “I know.”

“We’re officially re-introducing it. Well I won’t play a shameful prank on you. now.

Speaking of a bit of a prank it’s about the time he suddenly came to me the other day and shoved money at me. Sure enough the girl approached me with her dark tutu hiding her true feelings. Of course she was expecting it.

“Okay.. I thought well.”

I was tired so I roughly accepted Lortel’s offer to shake hands. However what happened next was unexpected.

Lortel grabbed my arm with his small hand and quickly shook it up and down a few times then let go of the hand and quickly walked away with his back.

The way he takes a big step backwards and walks away seems very mischievous.

“I won this time.”

A fox-like smile is her trademark.

When I open my hand there are three gold Flen coins in it. As revenge he shoved the gold coin that I had returned last time back into my hand.

“You let your guard down right? Now you owe me a favor. “What should I do with this?”

Lortel turned around to greet the group without erasing his mischievous smile.

See you again. Seniors.

Leaving those words behind. Lortel walked out first.

I take a deep breath and look at the sky where the dawn is rising.

I knew Lortel’s fox-like side. Well just because I received some money there is no need to be swayed by the emotional debt I received and Lortel probably knew this well and gave it to me but in any case Lortel’s intention is to maintain contact with me. This is an excuse to continue this connection in some way in the future.

– ‘Investment is my specialty.’

Even applause of admiration comes from her ability to put those words into practice without any hesitation.

Anyway the battle to subdue Glaskan ended well.

It was a time when such a monologue could be made while looking at the punitive force walking out with the rising sun in the background.

It was a difficult time but I overcame it well. I tried to congratulate myself by looking at the sky getting brighter little by little.

Good work. ourself. It’s only the first act but somehow you’ve come through it well.

“… ..So what about Yenika?”

My sudden impression was that the core of the story was missing. An indescribable feeling of emptiness remains in one corner as if something important has been skipped.

All of Jenica’s moves were and remain empty puzzle pieces.

It was a battle to subjugate Glaskan that ended well and although there were some surprises the story eventually returned to normal and there were no casualties. Isn’t this a good ending? . There were too many uncomfortable parts to conclude everything like that.

“Now that I think about it I can’t see Senior Yenika.”

Yenika is not visible in the punitive force coming out of the nail tube in the distance. If you’ve subdued Yenika wouldn’t it be natural for someone to carry her out even if she fainted?

“Well from the middle your attention must have been on Glaskan’s right arm. “For now Yenika will have taken a backseat.”

Lortel who was moving forward first tilted his head.

“Now that I think about it I think I know how senior Yenika ended up like this.”

what?

“I once ran into senior Yenika in the hallway of Ofilis Building. “At that time we reconciled what happened during joint combat training.”

Lortel continued talking as if it was no big deal.

“Then by chance I looked into senior Yenika’s room.”

Lortel continued to walk lightly and spoke to me naturally.

“Would you like to hear my story?”
