Chapter 39 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (8)

As soon as our weapons collided, one thing became clear.

This guy is stronger than you think.

After reading the trajectory using insight, I blocked the club with my sword, but the force was not distributed properly.

Rather than withstand the strong impact on my arms, I decided to let it go and fell back, releasing the strength I had put on my hands.

I felt my wrist being slightly bent, but I was able to avoid getting hit by that club.

“Kkyakyakyakyakyakya!!!”

All the goblins around were dying from Roy and Naen, but this hobgoblin was smiling at me.

It’s a little annoying.

After stepping back a little, I raised my sword and aimed it again.

The Hobgoblin also raised the club to his shoulder, took a big step forward, and struck the club vertically.

I felt familiar with the time that passed slowly as calm was activated.

I’m not used to being hit by that, so I’ve been focusing on aiming for the head like that.

I thought it was similar to when Lee Sian used his superior physical ability to smash a zombie’s head with a baseball bat.

Of course, I am incomparably more handsome than that hideous orange-skinned hobgoblin.

After using my intuition to clearly calculate the distance of the club, I backed away slightly so that it passed by my body.

Buuuuung! Bang!

As the club cut through the air and hit the ground, dust rose up.

And at that moment, an orange fist came flying out of the dust, aiming for my face.

Calmness started to kick in late, but in a short period of time, I was unable to move my body as I wanted.

Are you suffering from a lack of physical ability here?

Baaaaak!

I ended up giving my forehead to the orange fist.

Thanks to the impact cushioning effect provided by the armor, I only suffered a blow that made me flinch slightly.

Equipment is so important.

In order to relieve the strain on my neck, I took a step back and relaxed my neck, but the hobgoblin took advantage of that opportunity and came swinging his club.

I used my composure and insight to approach the bosom while using my sword and clubbing…

Whoa!

Once again, I was hit with my left fist and pushed back significantly.

Also! Damn it!

I couldn’t use calmness and insight as smoothly as I could when using Lee Sian’s body.

The hobgoblin seemed to be looking at me strangely as he was clenching and unclenching his fist and was less shocked than I thought, but I didn’t know my equipment would be this good.

I thought I had been scammed until I experienced the performance a little while ago.

“Kkyakyakyakya!!!”

“You damn bastard.”

It seemed like the Hobgoblin was laughing at me for giving me two hits.

I took a deep breath and then let it out.

It’s still okay.

Because when the Hobgoblin lets his guard down, it can actually be said to be an opportunity.

The hobgoblin swung his club horizontally.

As he swung from left to right, he had a little more freedom with his left hand, which allowed him to land two successful strikes against me.

Since there was no way to avoid it, he quickly retreated, but he used the rotational force to extend his left fist.

At that moment, he pulled back his right foot and stabbed his sword toward his outstretched fist.

Pooh wow!

He apparently tried to use his composure and insight to get through the cracks of his fingers, but the hobgoblin couldn’t keep up with the rotational force he put into his fist and ended up getting blocked by his finger bones.

The hobgoblin must have thought that it wouldn’t cause too much damage, so it swung the club on its immediate right horizontally.

They’re so close to each other?

It is difficult to avoid that swing from this distance.

Let’s trust in the performance of our armor once more.

Whoops!!!

Although he put his arms together to block the club, he had no choice but to fly a little farther.

This seems to have greatly reduced the impact reduction effect… ?

It’s natural that it hurts more than a punch, but this time I felt the pain properly.

Rather than saying it is a defective product, is it more than the amount of shock it can withstand? Already?

“Yusian!”

Royna Naen shouted when she saw me gathering myself.

“I’ll take care of it! Just stay still!”

There is no breakage anywhere yet.

This level of shock is like a good seasoning that can wake up your brain.

Once again, I held the sword tightly with both hands and aimed it at the Hobgoblin.

“Let’s keep going, kid.”

“Kkkk!!!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The guy who hit the ground three times with his club jumped up and hit the club.

The move was too big, so I dodged from where the attack was coming and lowered the hobgoblin’s head and cut it off.

Quaaaaa! Pow!

I swung my sword at the hobgoblin’s head, which had made a deep cut in the ground, but of course its skull was stronger than the goblin’s.

I made a shallow attack and immediately fell back.

Green blood flowed from the Hobgoblin’s head, which had a shallow stab wound.

“Kkkyakyakyakya!!!”

“Are you saying it’s fun?”

Because of the blessing of language in the status window, I feel like I’m slowly distinguishing the sound of laughter, but since it’s not the knowledge I really want, I want to erase it from my mind.

I should have cut off the head instead of cutting off the head.

A thought crossed my mind that if it was bleeding from the neck, it would be better to drain the Hobgoblin’s stamina.

With some regret, I prepared to swing the sword again.

The guy who retrieved the club swung it wide again from left to right.

The left fist is thrown out again using that rotational force.

This time, instead of stabbing, I chose to cut the skin thinly.

Sagagagagak

A layer of the hobgoblin’s skin was peeled off.

Green blood began to flow from the arm where the skin had been lost.

“Keeeee…”

This time, the Hobgoblin’s reaction changed as he continued to laugh, probably because the attack was successful.

The guy who was always smiling looked at me with a frown.

‘It’s even uglier.’

The hobgoblin suddenly started slamming his club down on the ground like crazy.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

“What is that again?”

As I was looking at this in a daze, a crack began to appear in the center of the club.

Pakak.

The hobgoblin held the club broken in half in both hands.

His skin was peeling off and his left hand was dripping with green blood, and he held the upper part in his right hand.

The range is shorter than when using a single club, but the enemy is physically stronger than me to begin with.

If you swing the two shortened weapons overwhelmingly, it will be difficult to calculate the trajectory, and it will be more difficult to fight, but I thought it would be okay because the final force was reduced.

It is unfortunate that you are not in a state where you cannot use Insight indefinitely using your indomitable will like Lee Si-an back then, but if you can calmly read the attack path.

Kaaaaang!

As soon as I struck down the shortened club with my sword, the next attack came.

Kaaaaang!

You can react.

Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang! Kakang!

I was able to deal with it because the overwhelming power decreased, and the speed increased.

It’s not easy for me to attack with a quick attack, but it was actually better for me that the overwhelming power that prevented me from attacking at all disappeared.

Sometimes I tried to use my insight to look for gaps, but I felt like there was no answer when I got close.

The moment he found an opening in the attack that had been invisible all along, he took a big step back and took out a pistol with his left hand.

Originally, I didn’t want to use it, but I felt like I would lose too much stamina if I kept it like this.

As time passed slowly with calmness activated, I aimed at the Hobgoblin’s left eye.

Taang!

Paang.

The Hobgoblin’s eyeball exploded due to an accurate shot using calmness.

“Kkkyakaaaaa!!!”

‘Hmm. As expected, the gun is good.’

Since I can’t use my main skills, I’m really thankful for this level of power.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

I continued shooting at the hobgoblin, who was screaming in pain.

The guy with green blood pouring out of a hole in his body watched me fiercely with one eye.

“Kkkyakkkk!!!”

“Well, aren’t you embarrassed as a warrior? I guess that’s what you’re saying. I just didn’t spend it because it was a waste of money.”

Bang! Kang!

When I aimed at the empty left eye one more time, I blocked it with the metal-lined club.

I was a little surprised at the speed of the reaction, but the hobgoblin came staggering towards me.

He put his pistol back in his belt and gripped his sword tightly with both hands.

“Kkkk!!!”

As if it was his last effort, the hobgoblin ran towards me with two short clubs raised high in the air, and I jumped into his arms and stabbed him deeply in the heart.

Although the hobgoblin was wearing animal skin armor, it was easily pierced by my sword, which I bought for 200,000 gold.

“Kk.”

But the Hobgoblin laughed.

“Huh?”

Paaahh !!!

“Wow…”

I felt a huge shock on my back.

With a crazy hobgoblin stabbed in the heart?! Are you making an attack with your last strength?

“Wow…”

Blood was leaking out of the mouth.

Is this what happens at the end?

“Kuhek… It hurts…”

Falling to the ground like a hobgoblin…

*

I woke up with a throbbing pain in my back.

I think I collapsed in a dungeon, but I woke up in a different place.

“Where are you…”

“Sian, are you awake?”

A warm voice with a blue, refreshing feel.

“Seo-yeon?”

“Yes. Naen contacted me to quickly send someone with healing abilities, so I happened to be in the dormitory and came right away.”

Ah. I wasn’t alone in the dungeon.

I felt fortunate that I followed counselor Lee Da-young’s advice and took someone with me.

If you are prepared to die, let’s engrave in your body that the person who stabs you in the heart will be able to display incredible strength for a while.

“Thanks to you, I feel pretty good. Thank you.”

“Yes.”

I have nothing to say.

It’s clear that we broke up because I wasn’t good enough, but you’re showing me like this again.

I couldn’t leave because my body wasn’t fully recovered yet.

While we were having such an awkward time, Seoyeon carefully opened her mouth.

“Because of me… You didn’t become stronger because you broke up with me, right?”

Her best friend, Naen, and I would have talked while I was asleep, so she would know that I am not the same as before when I was called the weakest.

So you became stronger because of the breakup? I don’t think so.

It’s just because I was lucky enough to meet the principal at the lake.

“That’s not it.”

“Then… Let’s go back to the way it was before. I can’t live without you… I can’t sleep, and I feel like I’m going to die… Furthermore, I’m sorry, Sian.”

What does this mean again? You said you wanted to break up first, right?

“Did you really mean it when you said you wanted to break up with me ‘for a while’?”

“Yes. That’s right. Among the friends I know, I have a friend who knows men well in her own way. The reason you can’t grow is that you don’t have any deficiencies. You have a girlfriend like me, and it’s called the Q class, which specializes in growth, but before you come to the Global Academy, you don’t have any deficiencies. If you say that you couldn’t grow because you broke up with me, then I really don’t want to break up with you.”

While carefully explaining about deficiency and growth, Seo-yeon began to shed tears.

She’s been dating Seo-yeon for about two and a half years, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen her cry after confessing her mistakes.

But can I say this is me taking the initiative between us?
