348 – Friday the 13th (1)

I didn’t lie at all. Regardless of whether it is true, fact, or anything else.

Porori controls lightning with the blessing of heaven. That guy is much stronger than the whole class combined.

Right now, even I have to risk my life just to be able to win or not, but these people must be in a terrible situation.

That’s because I often show up fine even after being struck by lightning. Lightning is a rare evil ability.

An ability that completely ignores defense except for space-type abilities. Unless you become immune, it usually comes as fixed damage.

‘How many times will you be struck by lightning in your life?’

The chance of being struck by lightning in your lifetime is almost like a lottery, and there are only a few gulag believers in the world who can deal with lightning.

It is difficult to deal with unless you are a spirit creature like Porori or a favored Hector or Kara.

I can deal with Chaos because it is a threat rather than a threat, but even that is red.

“Oh, squirrel? Did you just say squirrel?”

Eom Seok-dae expressed his absurd reaction to the factual violence (true) that he was weaker than a squirrel.

If the lines were thick and his handsome face was distorted, you could roughly guess his feelings.

“Yes, squirrel.”

“All of them, squirrels? Ah, no. Why did you have to do that before…”

I don’t seem to understand the saying that it is weaker than a squirrel and nothing else. I waited for him to gather his thoughts

Eventually, after he had sorted out his thoughts, he spoke to me with a slightly angry expression.

“No matter how much you say it, I think you are taking it too far.”

“What?”

“Saying that we are weaker than a squirrel. After all, isn’t that a disparaging statement about us?”

“It’s not a disparagement, it’s the truth.”

“Which squirrel is stronger than a human?”

As I say, I didn’t lie. Rather, it is I who cannot understand.

Eom Seok-dae may be saying that because he never met Porori. But if you dig deeper, no.

He is from the East. While there are few monsters in the East, there are many so-called ‘spirit creatures’.

Starting with the nine-tailed fox that can transform into a human, to legendary animals such as giraffe, haetae, jujak, and white tiger.

“There is.”

“Where is it?”

“Forest of Chaos.”

“That…”

Eom Seok-dae was about to say something but stopped. It looks like he’s given up on talking anymore as he’s shaking his head.

From my perspective, it doesn’t matter. It’s a truth that you will realize someday anyway.

Until you realize the truth, you will decide whether to make a fuss or not.

“······You will regret those words. We also have pride.”

“So are you going to fight?”

“To be honest, I won’t be able to defeat the assistant instructor alone.”

Luckily, he’s a smart guy. I guess this is how I act as a leader.

I don’t dislike people who know their place, even if they seem a bit rude. Besides, he didn’t even talk behind my back.

When people talk behind my back, I tend to stand up to them and argue with them. If this isn’t a leader, what else is it?

Maybe that’s why it’s not at least unfavorable. A little something.

‘It seems like you’re joking.’

It doesn’t match, but it feels roughly like that. A style that tries hard to win at any cost.

While I was thinking that, Eom Seok-dae glanced behind him and opened his mouth in a stern voice.

“Instead, if I get the chance, I will beat the assistant. I would like you to apologize then.”

“But what if you lose?”

“Still, if I lose, I’ll admit that I’m weaker than a squirrel.”

“Okay. Do that.”

Thinking that I had received the promise, I turned my back and walked away. To be exact, I was trying to move it.

“Oh, hey.”

“Yes?”

“What is your name?”

When I thought about it, I didn’t even know his name. I liked the nickname Eom Seok-dae (?) So much that I forgot about it.

Eom Seok-dae looked puzzled when I asked him his name. It’s a face that asks if you didn’t know it until now.

“Did you not know?”

“Yes.”

“Then does anyone in our class know your name?”

“Twin siblings and Reina.”

Everyone else is not interested. In the first place, even Eom Seok-dae is seeing this face for the first time.

Eom Seok-dae turned his head after hearing what I said. This is Raina, who is doing personal training hard.

Raina was practicing martial arts with a training battle x, and she was sweating profusely and concentrating.

“If it’s Rayna, isn’t she a princess of the Frozen Principality?”

“Yes. It was a bit strong.”

“I will admit that.”

Eom Seok-dae accepted it obediently. This means that her Reina’s strength is outstanding.

In terms of ‘talent’alone, Luna is the level below her, Raina. Moreover, thanks to her unique way of thinking about her, her growth potential is high.

“But when you say twin siblings… You are talking about the prince and princess of the Matra Empire.”

“Yes.”

“What’s wrong with them? There were bad rumors going around…”

If nothing else, it seems strange that he knows her siblings.

So I looked around the twins to find her siblings. But it wasn’t there.

It seems that Wednesday self-training is treated as a play day. It wasn’t there last week either.

“I know your face.”

“You know the face?”

“Yes. I hit my head with a liquor bottle.”

“I see… Yes?”

Eom Seok-dae naturally nodded his head and then stopped. Her response was, “Did I hear it wrong?”

“You touched my friend. So I hit you.”

“Ah. That’s right… I see…”

Eom Seok-dae’s eyes shook violently. She seemed to be looking at a crazy person beyond imagination.

Then he came to his senses and let out a long breath. It seems that the recovery is quite fast.

“Ah, anyway, let me greet you formally. My name is Namgung Seokdae, and I am from the Namgung family.”

The basic framework of the East is martial arts. However, they are not exactly the same and there are many similarities in the setting and famous families.

Right now, the people of the Hwan Empire tend to call their country an empire rather than the ‘Central Plain’.

Moreover, the ‘Demon Cult’ is also close to a pseudo-demon religious cult that only talks about it. This is because it is a place where the Heavenly Demon is worshiped as a god who descended into this world.

Purple is a symbol of God, and the Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Cult is a purple-colored monster. It’s very simple logic.

“Eom Seok-dae?”

By the way, his name was really Eom Seok-dae. I thought it was just the atmosphere, but I didn’t know his name was really Eom Seok-dae.

When I called him Eom Seok-dae, Namgung Seok-dae frowned. It looks like he doesn’t like something.

“It’s not Eom, it’s Namgung. Don’t change other people’s last names arbitrarily. It’s very rude in the East.”

“I’m sorry. I apologize.”

“··· ···”

He seemed really angry, so he immediately bowed his head and apologized. Then Eom Seok-dae, no, Namgung Seok-dae’s expression became strange.

I don’t make fun of people based on their skills or their names. I tend to compete fairly and with facts.

“······Then I’ll just leave. I’ll prove that I’m stronger than a squirrel.”

“Okay. Bye.”

Namgung Seokdae did not erase his mysterious expression until the end even as they parted ways. I just did that.

After that, an uneventful day passed and the next day arrived. The next day, I headed to the first grade class to continue my duties as a teaching assistant.

“We are planning to conduct a practical training from this afternoon to tomorrow morning. The content of the practical training is simple.”

Did he read the mood of the class? Or is it a practice prepared in advance?

“The content of the practice is tag.”

“Playing tag?”

“Okay.”

DIS announced that it would conduct practice without notice.

“And the assistants will be in charge of tagging.”

“··· ···”

It would not be an illusion that the atmosphere in the class became strange at that moment.

******

Usually, practice at the academy is conducted according to the manual. However, it may change at the professor’s discretion.

Playing tag is also one of the exercises that changes at the professor’s discretion. The reason we didn’t tell you in advance is to check the students’ ability to improvise.

The problem is that the teaching assistants were not informed. Because of this, Dis called the teaching assistants as soon as the first period ended.

“I’m sorry for starting the training so suddenly. I thought now was the right time.”

She Discalled the teaching assistants and was the first to apologize. The teaching assistants, including Sibar, were also generous.

How can I press him when he bows his head and apologizes like that? I figured there must be a different reason.

“Did you ever take a practice where the theme was survival during first-year practice?”

This is Dis’s question. Kara answered that question.

“Yes, I know. It was literally surviving in the forest for a day.”

“I know. “What did you guys do then?”

“The professor divided us into teams, but the goal was survival, so I avoided fighting as much as possible.”

That was Kara’s answer. At that time, survival was the primary goal, so combat was avoided as much as possible.

The other students didn’t even know that and tried their best to eliminate the other team. Without even knowing that it was a trap.

After hearing Kara’s answer to her, Dis turned her gaze to look at Karas. Then Kara shrugged her shoulders and answered calmly.

“I wasn’t there at the time. “I came in as a transfer.”

“I see. Then… What about Sivar’s student?”

What I’m most curious about is Shiva. How did Shivar take the test then?

When everyone’s eyes turned to Sivar, he scratched his head and answered quietly.

“I ate a bug.”

“No. Not like that.”

“Tsk tsk.”

That’s a pretty cute answer. Kara giggled as Dis was embarrassed.

Sivar thought for a moment and then roughly explained what had happened.

This is an incident where other teams joined forces to try to eliminate him, but ended up being eliminated.

“And at night, with Kara…”

“Hey! Hey!”

“Eup-eup.”

Sivar tried to say more but was stopped by Kara’s hand covering his mouth her her her her. Kara’s face turned a little red.

Dis looked at them with a strange look and opened his mouth as if it didn’t matter.

“Luckily. Actually, this practice was quite advantageous for the teaching assistant… But as you know, these new students are not easy.”

“Kara is strong.”

“I’m pulling it out.”

Karas said as if he was a little disappointed at Sibar’s words her her her her. Sibar looked straight at Karas and said.

“You are a weakling.”

“Don’t be a coward and compete with the truth. Why not compete with propaganda and fabrications, which are my strengths?”

“Tear off the snout.”

“Hmm.”

As the atmosphere became strange, Dis cleared his throat. Thanks to this, attention was focused again.

Next, Dis explained the game of tag. In fact, the rules themselves were pretty monotonous.

The tag team is made up of teaching assistants, and the students stay until the end time.

However, the trainers are not invincible and can be neutralized. Like tying someone up with a rope or stunning them.

“What do you think? I’ll give you a detailed explanation before we start.”

“It’s not bad.”

“It’s okay.”

“Student Sibar, who are you?”

Sivar listened to Dis’s words and thoughts about it for a while. Then, as if something occurred to her, she asked an unexpected question.

“What day tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow is the 13th…”

“Oh.”

I’m excited about the fact that tomorrow is the 13th, and that’s Friday.

“Friday the 13th?”

He looked like he had found an interesting toy.
