Chapter 89 – Back to School (2) – Modified

Tang Tang Tang.

The sound was dull for a finger tapping on a wooden desk.

Are you impatient?
Probably not.

His power, position, personal connections and years of experience did not allow him to feel nervous.
The last time he felt nervous was a long time ago.

At least 20 years must have passed.

The principal of the garden, Jang Yeong-sik, is displeased.
Even so, with his face distorted very blatantly, he was staring intently at the letter that had been placed on the principal’s desk without his knowledge.

“Tsk.”

He clicked his tongue briefly.
Those who knew him would be greatly surprised.

His eyes were fixed on the red sealing wax that held the envelope.
Sealing wax engraved with a picture of two swords crossing each other to decapitate a demon.
A dark red envelope with a creepy atmosphere.

It was clear that it would be a very uncomfortable situation for ordinary people, but to him it was just an unpleasant letter.

‘Useless thoughts.’

He brushed aside the random thoughts that tried to slip through the little cracks in his mind.

And he looked at the envelope again.

It was a letter he didn’t want to touch, but unfortunately he doesn’t have the ability to see through.
As he slowly reached out and picked up the envelope, a rather familiar feeling of mana flowed into his body.

However, Jang Yeong-sik did not resist.
It was because he knew that such low-level detection magic could be easily destroyed, but the moment the magic was destroyed, this letter would disappear.

‘It’s still unnecessarily cautious.’

Jang Young-sik thought.

Where is this

It was the office of Jang Yeong-sik, the principal of the garden and an S-class hunter.
Could there be a guy so swollen that he broke into the principal’s office without his permission?

But he couldn’t say that he didn’t have it at all.
There are a lot of crazy people in this world.

He felt the mana that had been inspecting every corner of his body gradually fade.

Gulp.

As the sound of swallowing saliva resonated in the quiet room, Jang Young-sik was taken aback.

‘Are you nervous…’

Other S-class hunters couldn’t make themselves nervous either.
They were just little boys and girls, not yet half alive.

But with her, her story is different.
Thinking that it was natural for her to be nervous, Jang Yeong-sik slowly opened the envelope.

It has been well over 30 years since her last contact with her.
It would be unusual, she thought, for her to be so cautious in contacting herself.

‘Could it be that the devil has appeared?’

The evidence was a picture engraved on the sealing wax that sealed the envelope.
Once upon a time, when she sent her letters, they were always sealed with sealing wax with her own initials.

Of course, her true name was unknown.

It is now engraved with two swords crossing each other to decapitate the devil.

Jang Young-sik clearly remembered that the meaning of the painting was that it contained a letter with important contents written on it.

‘… First, check it out.’

I don’t even know what it’s about, but I have no intention of getting excited.
Whether the devil actually appeared, whether the glass world appeared, or the villains.
The first priority was to check the contents of the letter.

“Whoa…”

After taking a deep breath, I slowly took the letter out of the envelope and slowly began to see the upper part of the letters.

Then, having completely taken out the letter, he slowly read it.

The more he read the letter, the more embarrassed he looked on his face.

“… What a crazy sound.”

And Jang Yeong-sik, muttering in a dejected voice, looked at the neatly arranged papers on the desk.

Flipping through the documents one by one, she found information about the first year party, and among them was information about Kim Si-woo and Seo Ah-young, whom the instructors had called Eunjae (隱才) for a while.

Jang Yeong-sik remembered that a student named Kim Si-woo was involved in the last mine incident.

∴

The power of Pi, who evolved into an intermediate spirit, was beyond imagination.

When she used her elemental magic, huge, raging balls of fire engulfed the Cyclops and reduced them to ashes in an instant.

“You’re amazing…”

Laysha said in a bitter tone for some reason.

Judging that she was trustworthy enough now, she told Laysha that Ayeong used the ability of spiritism.
And the fact that I can use Magi.

He said he had already heard from Chloe.

Realizing that the stone she gave her was a spirit stone and had the effect of evolving her spirit, Laysha tried not to show it, but she couldn’t hide her regret at all.

“I have to work hard too.”

But, as if she was able to get her heart right away, Laysha said, clenching her fists with her determination.

“Yes, then let’s go to the next Cyclops.”

Currently, we are showing each other the results of training during the vacation, and it seems that Ayoung’s combat power has already been sufficiently imprinted on the party members.

Relying on the search skill, I moved to the area where the next Cyclops was located.

There, two cyclops were sitting on the ground talking to each other, but of course they couldn’t understand.

“It’s just a good game.”

Leysha, with a confident smile on her face, pulled out her own rapier and made her way slowly toward the two cyclops.

Normally, Ayeong and I would launch a preemptive attack on the Cyclops from a distance, but now it was time to assess combat power, not hunting time.

“Whoa!”

Spotting her Leysha, the Cyclops pointed at her with a finger the size of her forearm on her Leisha and shouted at her another Cyclops.

They slowly picked up their stone bats and rose from their seats.

‘Has it always been this slow?’

There was no reason why the Cyclops would suddenly slow down.

If so, did I become stronger?
However, the agility stat did not increase.

‘I think it’s because of my mental strength…’

In the game, it was just a stat that allowed you to train for a longer time and increased the effect of Absolute Spirit.

There were still too many unknowns about the system of this world.
In the end, it was a good effect, so I didn’t have any complaints.

“Whoa… Please keep an eye on it.”

After getting her stance, Ley Sha told us.

Cyclops approached her.
Every time they walked, the ground vibrated very slightly.

“Wow!”

And Cyclops, who came close to Leysha, raised her stone bat.
He would have tried to attack Laysha who came within range of her, but Laysha was much faster than them.

“Sigh…!”

Laysha let out a short spirit and swung her rapier.

Swoop.

As the stone bat was neatly cut by her sword, two roses and a small rose bloomed along the lines of her sword.

“A rose knife…!”

Whenever I saw it, I could feel the beauty and slyness that touched people’s heartstrings.
For reference, the official name is not a rose knife.

The red petals that flew in the air as if they were blown away by the wind gathered together.
Maybe it’s because she has more rose clusters than her first Leopold sword technique.

It became bigger than before and at the same time contained more mana.
Like Ayoung, she must have not neglected her practice during her last month.

Push.

The roses made of her mana bloomed by Ley Sha cut the neck of the Cyclops who was swinging her stone bat at her, and blood poured from his neck like a fountain.

However, before the blood even reached the ground, it turned into dust and scattered into the air.

As expected, her growth rate, which was one of the main heroines in the game, was enormous.

If it was the current girl, she should be able to kill her C-rank monsters, orcs, in one shot.

“Whoa…!”

Could it be because her own companion died?

Immediately, Cyclops, whose eyes were dyed red, attacked Laysha using berserk fire, but his end was no different.
His torso and lower body separated, he scattered to dust leaving behind the magic stone.

“Whoa… I’m a little dizzy.”

After Laysha ran the back of her hand across her own forehead, she said.
Certainly, a lot of mana would be consumed in order to use Leopold swordsmanship with that much power.

She looked a little tired, but she was smiling as if this was no big deal.

“As expected, it was a great swordsmanship!”

Laysha’s swordsmanship was beautiful and powerful.
Ayoung said with sincere admiration.

“Whoops… Thank you. But it’s still a long way off.”

Leysha’s small smile did not show her humility at all.
It must mean that what you just said is sincere.

However, this was enough to compare with the game.

“No. I think that’s pretty amazing.”

It was a statement of pure emotion.

“Is that so? Thank you.”

Her cheeks flushed slightly, unlike when Ah-young spoke.

“…Where is the next monster?”

Chloe looked at me with a slightly stiff expression and asked.

“The closest is one in the northwest direction.”

I didn’t use the search skill again.
I remembered all the locations of the monsters that I had already figured out with my search skills.

“How about we start right away? I guess it’s my turn.”

And Chloe said, burning his will.

“Uh, is that so…?”

Ayoung looked at Laysha, who was looking at Chloe with a slightly worried look, and with a slightly complicated expression, she said.

I wasn’t the only one who noticed the subtle air current flowing between them, from Laysha to Chloe.

And of course, Chloe, who battled Cyclops, has grown much more than before vacation.
Unlike when she was trapped in the glass world, now she was using a shield.

Bang! Bang!

“…”

We watched Chloe’s battle scene in silence.

Her shield, which was covered with an aura in the shape of a small winged shield, did not budge even in the face of the Cyclops’ attack, which dyed her eyes red.

“Can I help you…?”

“Yeah, I think that would be good.”

She awakened her aura before Leisha did, but she did not have the offensive ability to take down Cyclops.

Even her special ability is Guardian (A).
Unfortunately, as a heavenly tanker, her attack power was not very high.

“Keugh…!”

Cyclops, who had been attacking Chloe, who distorted his face in a grievous way, did not have the strength in his arms that had begun to slow down as if he were starting to get tired.

In the end, Ayeong’s spirits easily killed Cyclops.

“…”

“…”

An awkward silence lingered between our party.
Chloe was still expressionless, but the oddly darkening of her mood seemed to be gloomy.

“Have you awakened your aura already? That’s great. And it was so cool that he didn’t even get hit by Cyclops’ attacks.”

I was the first to speak up.
In fact, even though he was in his first year at the academy, it was his tremendous growth power that awakened his Aura.

“That’s right. After all, Defender is strong, so it’s good, right?”

Ayeong asked Laysha for an answer.

“Of course. I am so glad that Chloe is my driver.”

And Laysha answered.

“… Thank you.”

Did the baptism of compliments relieve your mood a little?
Her cheeks turned slightly reddish.

“Then it is my turn.”

All I have left now is me.

Through this Mine Hunting, I was planning to show the stronger Magi.

The monsters could have moved, so I used the search skill again.

And we headed to the place where there are 3 Cyclops.

“Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult with 3 dogs?”

Laysha looked at me with a worried expression and asked.

“Are you okay. I’m watching you.”

Laysha’s worries were understandable.
Even if all of our party members went into battle, dealing with two Cyclops at the same time was the limit.

But of course it’s okay.
She didn’t see me using Magi.

On the other hand, Ah-yeong, who can even see my stat window, was looking at me with an expectant expression.
I could feel the trust in Chloe’s eyes, who knew me, who had even dealt with C+ class Oak Warriors.

“Okay… I see.”

Laysha said weakly, as if feeling bitter that she was the only one of them worried about me.

But I had nothing to say.

It was natural for her to be worried, not to mention offering meager consolation.

Immediately the battle with Cyclops began.
No, the massacre has begun.

My demons, which had pierced the heads of C+-class Orc Warriors, pierced their heads through the air, and they could not even counterattack.

They couldn’t even see me using stealth and invisibility.

“Whoa…!”

“Ugh…”

“Uh uh…”

The battle ended abruptly.

Their mana barrier was too weak to block my demonic energy.

After disabling stealth and invisibility, I approached the girls who were watching the battle.

“How was it?”

“…That was great.”

After a moment of hesitation, Ahyoung answered.
And did you think of something?
She nodded her head slightly.

“We should also try our best.”

Laysha shut her slightly open mouth, and she spoke to Ah-young and Chloe.

They affirmed Laysha’s words.

‘That’s good.’

Using buffs, he raised the level of stealth and invisibility, and used magic without stopping for a single moment.
Even while overdoing it, I partly defeated the Cyclops in front of them with an overwhelming margin.

Just as I was stimulated by Riel’s overwhelming power difference, I wanted to stimulate them as well, and I was able to give appropriate stimulation as I wished.

It’s definitely one of my abilities, but Magira used a special power, so I worried for a while whether they would feel a sense of relative deprivation, but I had faith that they weren’t going to collapse that much.
