Chapter 69 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (6)

The next enemy to appear was a kobold.

Similar to goblins, they can be classified as a small race. Their characteristic feature is that they have a slightly animal-like face and body covered in fur?

Thanks to this, it looks a little more docile than a goblin, but its behavior is not much different.

“Kururuk?!”

A kobold checked on us and ran towards us, swinging a small baton he was holding.

Are the hearts in the same place? You could kill him by stabbing him there with a sword, but this time he did it a little differently.

A little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

“Ugh…”

When I cut off the head in one go, blood poured out.

I pushed away the headless, bleeding body and checked on Seo-yeon.

His mouth was covered, but his eyes were wide open and not closed.

“Good job. It’s okay to scream, but you can’t close your eyes.”

After hearing what I said, Seoyeon slowly nodded her head and walked over, stroking Seoyeon’s light blue hair with her hand.

“And it will become more cruel.”

“More from here?”

“I’m stronger now, so I can take him down in one hit like this, or else I’ll have to keep accumulating wounds, right?”

“I guess so… But Sian, are you okay? You didn’t like fighting that much either.”

Even though she had a status window, she didn’t want to fight even when the quest appeared, so she tried to get a procedure to seal her abilities.

Even after entering the academy, she had some weaknesses, but she didn’t like fighting, so she only trained her own body.

Was this change ultimately due to the quest?

After becoming possessed by Lee Sian, his tolerance for violence seems to have increased very sharply while defeating zombies that can be called ‘former humans’.

Because they actually committed fratricide, this race, especially beings that appear over time like this, felt a little different.

“It’s okay now.”

“Tell me one thing clearly. Is it because of the possession skill?”

“Yeah, I’ve had some different experiences.”

“I see. I understand. Let’s go.”

Seoyeon lowered her hand covering her mouth and seemed to have made up her mind.

Then, can I show a slightly more cruel scene?

Gradually, rattled, rattled

A goblin was cut into pieces.

I heard a loud noise from behind and turned around to see Seoyeon, who was watching the process, lose her mind and collapse.

I guess this was a little harsh.

*

“Wouldn’t something like that happen during an actual fight? I think that was a bit harsh just now.”

Seoyeon held my shoulder and spoke in a serious voice.

“I did it because I wanted to show the extreme. In reality, it would only be an arm or a leg falling off.”

“Ugh…”

She shook her head quickly, as if she didn’t want to imagine that either.

“Seoyeon, if a colleague gets hurt like that, can you heal them?”

“It’s hard to repair the amputation now, but you will be able to do it later. But don’t believe in it and think about getting hurt. It’ll hurt.”

“That’s why I bought the armor.”

“Don’t faint when your back is attacked like last time.”

Now there is shadow armor, so parts other than the armor can be protected when hit.

As long as my clothes aren’t torn off, there’s enough shadow between my body and clothes.

“Okay, next time I won’t chop you up.”

“Don’t say that with a smile!”

Seoyeon got angry, but she couldn’t help but keep smiling.

“Let’s go. I’m adapting faster than I thought.”

“I need to get used to it before I lose my mind when they show me that.”

The next enemy I met was a kobold.

Gradually, slowly

He waved his bare arms wildly and cut off the arm of the guy running toward him, then stabbed his heart.

Seoyeon seemed to be okay with this, perhaps because she had raised her threshold a lot with the goblin mutilation, so she quickly advanced through the dungeon.

“I heard there was also slime, but it didn’t come out this time?”

The slime that appears here can be defeated by piercing its core, so I thought it was simple, but I didn’t watch it until the end.

“I think slime would be better.”

Three goblins decorate the end of the beginner dungeon.

Gradually, slowly, slowly

One by one, they cut off her head and threw it away.

Goblins are easy now.

Considering the practical exam, Orc would be next.

If you think of it as being on a similar level to Hobgoblin, wouldn’t you be able to deal with it now?

“Let’s go out, Seoyeon.”

Seoyeon briefly looked at the goblin’s head rolling on her floor, then raised her head.

“Yes.”

When Seoyeon crossed the broken space and came out of the dungeon, she took a deep breath.

“Ha. The outside air is much better.”

“Let’s go to the intermediate dungeon tomorrow.”

“You’re not going to fight cruelly on purpose, are you?”

“Yes, from there, the monsters tend to have weapons, so we can’t waste our power.”

Still, it was easy to fight because there was a difference in length from small races such as goblins.

“Huh? Wait a minute, Naen contacted me. I’ll give you a call.”

“Okay. Call me.”

When Seoyeon picked up her smartphone, I checked the status window.

Combat power 295, as expected, dungeons like this don’t provide much stimulation.

I thought that Seoyeon’s combat power may have increased considerably.

Mental strength is one of the most important elements of combat power.

Seoyeon, who was on the phone with Naen, approached me.

“Why?”

“Naen said he was going to the advanced dungeon in two days and asked if I wanted to go with him, and he said there was one person free.”

“Okay. But are you going too?”

“Yes. I was originally supposed to go as a healing support, but wouldn’t it be okay if I go in and get special training by tomorrow?”

“Tell them I’m going. I can’t miss the opportunity to go to the advanced dungeon.”

“Naen, Sian says he wants to go. Yes, I understand.”

Seoyeon hung up the phone and spoke to me.

“Naen is going to come to the dungeon management office. Let’s go and wait.”

Since we go back through the warp gate anyway, we can go back soon.

When I returned to the Global Academy with Seoyeon and waited in front of the dungeon management office, Naen, dressed in everyday clothes, approached us.

“Seoyeon, did you go to the dungeon well?”

“Yes. I think I’ve gotten a little stronger.”

“What did you do to become strong?”

“I saw Xian cutting up a goblin.”

Naen looked at me with eyes that saw something strange in response to Seoyeon’s truth-filled answer.

“You really did that?”

“I have no intention of having Seoyeon provide rear support forever.”

“I’ve thought about it too, but never thought I would actually do it. You’re so quick to act.”

Since I am close to Seoyeon, I think she had similar thoughts as me.

Since they have healing skills, one way to prevent them from entering the dungeon is like a flower in a greenhouse. However, a trustworthy healer on the battlefield is more valuable.

“Let’s quickly register as companions and go back. Seoyeon, Yusian, and you both went to the dungeon, so you should rest.”

“It’s okay. You can use class Q’s privileges.”

It was really nice not having to wait in line.

*

We headed to an intermediate goblin dungeon where no hobgoblins appeared.

And I killed them all without getting hurt.

If two animals attacked at the same time, they used the armor on their wrists to block the attack, but no one was actually hit.

“Seo-yeon, let’s go back.”

“Xian, do you need me? And I thought about it from the time we fought, and aren’t you as strong as Naen?”

“I don’t have any skills that can be used to attack, right?”

I learned Shadow Mastery in the world of Cyan Raven, but there was nothing I could actually use right now.

They say I can use Shadow Armor, but I need it when I get hit, but since I have good armor, I don’t need to use it, and the only thing I can use is to change mana to negative mana, but that doesn’t have a dramatic effect.

And if you open Shadow Craft, you will have the power to respond to auras and mana, but won’t there be a dramatic change from that?

Somehow, I’ve learned all the passive skills so far, so I don’t have the ability to change the situation dramatically.

“I hope Sian learns this cool skill quickly.”

As I stood close to Seoyeon and left the dungeon, Seoyeon’s smartphone rang like it was yesterday.

“What else? Is it Naen?”

“Call me. I got a text message too.”

I read the text message Naen sent me.

[The person who broke the schedule wanted to rejoin, but she started an argument because she said she had already selected another person.]

[When I found out that the person I had saved as a replacement was Yu Xian, I incited the people who were going with me to see if I had the skills to go to the advanced dungeon.]

‘He’s a good guy who even worries about the party he went to.’

“What do you say there are people like that? He tried to go to another dungeon after getting punked, but then the party broke up, and he came back, so why are you arguing?”

It seemed like Naen was telling Seoyeon more detailed information over the phone.

Normally, if you have a little bit of conscience, it’s right to turn off the attention after you leave, but it seems like you’re starting an argument because I’m the person you’re going with.

And since he is said to be the weakest in the academy, the propaganda must have worked quite well.

“Would you like to play?”

“Huh? Sian, what did you say?”

“Tell them we’ll have a fight. I think that’s what they want. You’re the same vanguard as me, right?”

Seoyeon relayed my words to Naen.

“You’re asking if it’s okay right now? I guess you want to sort things out quickly. I have to go to the dungeon tomorrow, so I don’t want there to be any unnecessary trouble.”

“Okay, let’s do it right away. I’ve just warmed up a bit.”

Even in intermediate goblin dungeons, combat power did not increase.

There’s no reason to avoid it when it comes to arguing so that I can increase my combat power.

I returned to the Global Academy with Seoyeon through the warp gate and then headed straight to the sparring room.

Except for us, no one else has come yet, but Seoyeon started using healing skills on me.

“I wasn’t hurt?”

“But wouldn’t it be nice to fully recover my stamina?”

Thanks to her ability called combat sleep, I thought it would be best to sleep on Seoyeon’s knees, so I decided to win Seoyeon’s heart.

As Seoyeon and I waited for a while, the students, including Naen, arrived.

“He says he’s a little late.”

Naen said to me with an apologetic expression.

He’s a man of many things.
