Chapter 36 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (5)
After returning from the weight room, I had a hard time sleeping at night.
When I compared the feeling of Vulcan Ludric’s large fist hitting me to the memory of fighting an evolved zombie, I felt like I was actually getting sick.
That guy was small, but each hit was so painful that he died, but Vulcan Ludric was bigger.
Considering that Isian’s body was unmatched at the lower world level, the difference between me and Vulcan Ludric would be even greater.
I don’t know why I said I would fight bravely and win or defeat them, but I hope no one heard me.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like someone is watching me. Could it be that someone is spreading the word?
“Ha. Let’s take all this unpleasant feeling out on the goblins.”
Even though I had a hard time sleeping at night, I woke up on time.
After neatly wearing the equipment I bought yesterday, I headed to the Warp Gate Management Center at the Global Academy.
It is known that those with status window abilities over the age of 20 cannot leave Utopia, but going to the dungeon makes it easier than you think.
Dungeons spread all over the world are managed by people with status window skills, so students can’t do anything, but the most important thing is that Utopia just buys the land around the dungeon.
The land with a radius of 500 meters around the dungeon becomes the land of Utopia, so it is a strange situation where you leave the island called Utopia, but you do not leave Utopia.
It’s an old story I learned while studying at the Global Academy. It is said that at first, many national leaders were antipathetic to this semi-compulsory land purchase method.
However, no one could speak up, but one leader fearlessly objected, and a dungeon was created a few months later.
It’s also a permanent dungeon where monsters keep spawning, and one of the goblin dungeons I’m planning to go to has been created, so securing it for the students of Global Academy is essential.
At that time, the leader put forward a condition called ‘rental’, but of course the deal fell through, and the leader died that night.
It is said that the leader was assassinated by a general with military power, not by a competent person, but no one criticized it.
They are tied up in a place called Utopia and their only outside activity is clearing dungeons, but they know how scary their power is, so they put out the fire in advance.
At the beginning of the semester, I had no intention of choosing the path of a talented person, so I thought that was a bit harsh, but after spending a while, I felt like I understood.
Even when I think about my friends in class Q, Chris Roanna, the friend who receives magic-related quests, uses magic to his full potential, and the surrounding area is devastated.
The other friends are stronger in person-to-person combat skills, but Chris Roanna is much stronger in wide-area suppression skills.
More intuitively, Avon Jack, a person with fire abilities. It can all be burned.
The students with such abilities are in class Q, but they are first year students.
I still don’t know how strong the Global Academy graduates in Utopia will be.

“Hello, Guide Torres!”
When we went to the warp gate management office, our guide Torres, who had neatly trimmed his sparse beard, arrived first.
If it weren’t for his brown ponytail, I wouldn’t have recognized him right away.
The clothes were not the work clothes I wore yesterday, but only light armor like the one I was wearing, and I was not carrying any weapons.
If it’s a goblin, you’ll be able to subdue it with the same punch you threw at me yesterday.
“Did you sleep well, student Yu Xian? You ended up buying a pistol.”
Mr. Torres said with a slight smile as he looked at the automatic pistol on my left waistband.
“Among the students who want to go see a pistol, there are very few who don’t buy one. In the end, after they use up the ammo they received when they first bought it, a lot of guns and magazines are sold second-hand. After using them, it must have been different from what they expected.”
“Is that so? I think it’ll be enough to reach Orc.”
“It’s because Yu Xian is strangely weak…”
Guide Torres is right.
During the final exam, I finished my turn and came out right away, but Tae Won-ho killed five goblins with three shots. Which orc is next? Couldn’t you catch the next monster?
And couldn’t students other than class Q have done it? Probably not. I’m still too weak.
“Student Yu Xian, then let’s go get stronger. Place your watch or smartphone on the pass.”
“Yes.”
I put my watch on the terminal called Pass.
Because it is linked to a smartphone, the dungeon item appears right away without having to turn on the student support room app.
When I clicked on Goblin Dungeon, I scanned all the people in this room to see if all of my companions had come and if there were others.
As if the confirmation was complete, a voice was heard from the pass, saying, ‘Please leave for a moment.’
After hearing that, I waited slightly away and a blue circle appeared, connecting the spaces I had not seen in a long time.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
As I crossed the gate, I felt the concentration of mana changed.
I heard that students who mainly learned magic skills that use a lot of mana hate going to dungeons outside of Utopia, but it seems a bit understandable.
But anyway, my skills only consume mental power.
As we left the room where the warp gate was created where we crossed over to go to the dungeon, a talented person checked on us.
“Student Yu Xian, Guide Torres.”
“Yes, that’s right. Is there anything unusual about the dungeon?”
Guide Torres took the lead and answered.
“There is nothing special about the dungeon, so just walk along the red line below, and you will enter the dungeon.”
There is no need to add this explanation, but since I am a student who brought a guide, I felt it necessary to mention it once.
As I walked along the road, I saw that the space was broken.
The dungeon is a place that has a different feel from the warp gate, which feels like space is connected to the empty space where light is diffusely reflected.
“From now on, I will just watch. Student Yoo Xian, please move forward.”
“When it is very dangerous, please do so.”
After taking the sword out of its scabbard, I stepped into the dungeon.
***
With all the backlogged orders gone, I applied for a guide out of boredom and wasted my pocket money.
In the case of beginner dungeons, there are no major problems at this point since making equipment is my main job.
And the place where I would guide was the Goblin Dungeon.
A dungeon where students who have just entered the Global Academy go.
There was a handsome student, Yu Xian, who called me as soon as I left the dungeon management office, but I felt like he lacked strength.
From the moment you said there were no skills related to the main weapon, I lowered my expectations.
However, when testing the power of the armor, Yu Xian reacted clearly to the light punch he threw.
He reacted to my punch, but chose to get hit.
After that, I became interested, so I looked it up briefly and found that Yu Xian’s current Global Academy image is the weakest.
He was said to be the weakest in class Q and the weakest in the first year of the academy.
How can I hear that that student is the weakest?
The moment I entered the dungeon with a sword, the atmosphere changed.
The goblin that appears as soon as you enter the dungeon is an enemy that is easy to panic.
“Krrrr!”
He held a wooden blunt weapon in one hand and slashed it down without hesitation at the running goblin.
Kang!
However, the results were not that good.
I thought I had chosen a pretty good sword, but I couldn’t do anything to the goblin, proving that I had no skills related to the main weapon.
Kang!
And then the sound of a sword hitting the skull is heard again.
Kang!
As a guide, I tried not to say anything because he raised his sword to split my head again, but I had no choice but to say something.
“Student Yusian? If the enemy is stunned, you can just stab the heart and kill it, right? There’s no need to be so obsessed with the goblin’s skull. If that’s the quest, you can continue.”
I heard that people with quest abilities receive all kinds of strange quests, so I thought there was a possibility that it was a quest.
A quest to split a goblin’s head with a sword… ? Class Q is replaced.
“Ah. That’s right.”
As if that wasn’t the case, she stabbed the goblin’s heart, causing him to faint due to the large impact on her head bone.
“It’s worth it.”
Student Yu Xian said that and was smiling slightly.
***
As I possessed Lee Sian and defeated zombies, my fear of actual combat disappeared.
On the contrary, I realized that it was ridiculously comfortable compared to back then.
Infected by a goblin and turning into a goblin? That doesn’t happen.
Cardboard protector? I wore very good armor that was highly resistant to shock.
It felt like hitting the goblin’s head with all my might with a sword, but the blade didn’t get damaged.
Moreover, there is even a pistol that can be used in dangerous situations.
Even except Torres Guide, who is the ultimate insurance, there is absolutely no way I would lose to the goblin.
Of course, I know that the target I have to fight against is incomparably stronger than evolved zombies, but I no longer have any fear of battle.
“It’s worth it.”
Life at the Global Academy, which I was constantly afraid of, may have been more worth it than I thought.
Let’s move forward.
He took out the sword that stabbed the goblin’s heart.
I held the sword with a red tip in both hands and headed deeper into the dungeon.
“Krrrm? Kkeeehhh!”
As I went with the bloody sword, this time a goblin holding a dagger ran towards me.
I held the dagger high and stabbed it into the chest of the goblin who was trying to stab my thigh or somewhere else.
Pushyuk
The dagger wielded by the goblin’s short body could not even reach my body, and it pierced the heart like breaking a zombie’s head, killing it in one fell swoop.
The sword was pulled out from the goblin that had stopped moving.
Winning and killing are easy.
I think I now know why Vulcan Ludric didn’t hit the meter with all his might.
I properly check the power I can use and learn to control my power while dealing with goblins.
She moved deeper into the dungeon in search of the next goblin.
