Chapter 75 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (12)

It was difficult to handle just one wolf skin orc, but the bear skin orc took an interest in me.

It seems that they are planning to support them by using magic that utilizes nature rather than using the abilities of the bearskin.

In order to fight, a slightly wider field of view was needed.

“Go.”

I heard that voice.

Suddenly, an orc wearing a wolf skin moved away from me and joined my allies.

All the dark green orcs were already dead, and there was only one wolf-skinned orc left. Did he order more to join him?

I immediately turned my head and looked at the bear-skinned orc.

The Bearskin Orc also saw me and slowly raised his hand from bottom to top.

What kind of magic are you using?

Kugugung

“Yusian, move!”

When I heard the sound of the ground shaking, senior Lake Xilan, who was a little far away, said to me.

“Huh?!”

When I turned my head in the direction of the voice, a wall of wood was rising from the floor.

Are you trying to divide me? Allies? Why?

There was no time for deep thinking.

Before the wall rises so high that it’s difficult for me to climb over!

Calmness kicked in while running towards the wall.

What? Does that mean I shouldn’t go? No. I felt like I had to stop right away.

Kuaaaaang

When I trusted my senses and stopped, a huge tree vine struck in front of me.

When I sensibly avoided an attack that could not have been thought of as a tree vine, an orc wearing a bear skin came running towards me.

The moment I stopped for a moment, the wooden wall grew so big that it was difficult to climb over.

Last time I saw him, I saw Senior Lake Xylan moving, so Senior Pael Enrica will move and come to save me, but in the meantime, I have to endure from that monster?

A being that seems to be of the highest rank out of all the enemies I have fought so far.

The orc that ran nearby jumped forward.

With Shadow Craft, I created a spear and threw it and retreated.

Kaang!

The orc struck away the spear made of shadow with one hand and landed on the ground.

Kuaaaaang!!!

The ground shook so loudly that I lost my balance for a moment.

However, I immediately regained my balance and once again used Shadow Craft to create a spear and throw it.

Kaang!

Once again!

Kaaaaang!

I kept making spears with both hands and throwing them, but I used my much better physical ability to hit every spear I threw.

Then he bowed slightly and then lunged.

I read it clearly, but it wasn’t fast enough to avoid it.

You need to make a weapon, or rather a shield, with Shadow Craft.

Kwaaaaa!

“Wow!”

I blocked the attack, but I was pushed back and rolled backwards.

With a huge shock that made both arms go numb, quite a bit of mana disappeared.

This is the first time that this much mana has been used to maintain its form.

“You’re an interesting person.”

An orc wearing a bear skin looked at me and said.

Is it fun? It’s not that he’s scary or strong, but he’s an interesting person.

In the eyes of Orcs, my Shadow Craft seems to be quite an impressive skill.

If you look at the order of learning skills, it is the last skill to learn that materializes mana, but I probably learned it through a shortcut.

And the orcs don’t know that.

“Kooooo!!!”

The orc let out an animal howl.

I felt like I was becoming one with the bear skin that was covering me, and I felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

And he ran with a movement that was more instinctual and had a different feel from the organized lunge from earlier.

Do I have to block it with a shield again? If I think about the shock from earlier, I will never be able to endure it.

I used Shadow Craft once more to make it into a spear shape.

There is no choice but to use the power of the rush to strike.

He held the long spear tightly with both hands and thrust the spear in the direction of the orc’s charge.

At that moment, the orc turned his body and struck away the spear, then turned his body and tried to hit me with his other hand.

I blocked the attack using the armor on my wrist.

Wow

The shock-reducing effect of the armor was activated, so my arm wasn’t broken, but withstanding the blow didn’t solve anything.

I countered the opposing fists that came in succession by creating daggers, but I felt pain as if my grip would be torn apart.

I blocked the other hand with a dagger, but it still hurt.

The wolf-skinned orc was able to endure, but I don’t think he can survive this.

Kwagagagagagagagagag!!!!

While I was thinking of a solution, the wooden wall separating me and my allies began to open a black hole, as if it was burning.

Even the orc wearing the bear skin couldn’t help but look at that figure.

Perseok

A huge hole opened in the wall of the tree, and a senior Lake Xilon wearing heavy armor jumped in with a shield in front of him.

“Yusian are you okay?!”

“Yes. I’m alive!”

“Okay. Then let’s do it together this time!”

When Senior Lake Xylan struck the shield with his hammer, the orc wearing a bearskin immediately changed the target.

And he rushed at a speed that was almost invisible, faster than the charge he had made towards me earlier, and senior Lake Xilan blocked the attack.

Save the country

To block an attack without being thrown back a bit.

I thought that the results were due to different types, but it seems that there is a huge difference in physical ability.

Since someone came to block the attack, I used Shadow Craft to create a sword that was familiar to me.

Then, he performed a pseudo-martial action, killed any sign of him, and ran to aim for the back of the Orc who was assaulting Senior Lake Xylan.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

If you listen to the sound made when the shield is struck, the force contained therein was unusual.

It seems like the Bearskin Orc is attacking with all his might, but Senior Lake Xilan, who is firmly withstanding the attack, has shown a level of strength that would make him a confident guide for advanced dungeons.

Still, there will be a limit to how much you can endure, so you must defeat it quickly.

“Kooooo!!!”

As the orc shouted, the grass around him rose up like a wave spreading out from the water.

“It’s extensive leg binding!”

“Yes!”

At the right time, I jumped over the grass and got closer to the orc.

Kwaaang!

The bearskin-clad orc, who launched a big attack against the shield, finally found an opening.

How can you attack while looking ahead, and barely see any gap behind your back?

Go go!

But my surprise attack was blocked in vain.

I clearly stuck the sword in my back, but the blade didn’t go in, as if it was blocked by a membrane.

Feeling offset by the protective shield of the sparring room? I never felt this way when exchanging attacks until now.

“Shield! Strong monsters have it by default!”

I felt the bearskin orc open his body to attack me from behind, so I kicked my body and dodged away.

The paw of the bear passed before my eyes, and senior Lake Xilan hit the shield again with the hammer.

It seems to be a skill that attracts the monster’s attention, and when it is provoked, its attack power seems to become stronger.

Kwaaaaang!!!

Senior Lake Xilan was pushed back quite a bit in this attack.

“Is Xylan alive?”

At that time, senior Pael Enrica’s voice was heard from above.

“Enrica!!! It’s late!”

“I held on well.”

“Then let’s go!”

Senior Lake Xilan continued to play defense and finally turned to attack.

I blocked the attack from his right arm with my shield and struck down the bearskin orc’s left arm with my mana-filled hammer.

“Koooh!”

I couldn’t break through the shield, but it seemed like the Bearskin Orc could inflict a painful impact.

“You better get out of the way.”

Senior Pael Enrica spoke while pointing his staff at the orc, so I stepped back as much as I could.

Three red circles appeared at the tip of the wand, gradually increasing in size as they came forward.

A circle lined up with the staff, and an enormous amount of mana spewed out from the tip of the staff.

Every time the red ray passes through the circle, it is amplified and increases in size.

Quagga, quagga, quagga, quagga!

The red ray, which had grown sufficiently in size, swallowed Senior Lake Xylan and the Bearskin Orc.

“Senior Enrica? Senpai Xylan is with you?!”

“It’s okay. He can handle it.”

Senior Pael Enrica answered my question with a slight frown.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

When I focused my eyes and looked inside the beam, I could hear the sound of striking inside the red beam containing high heat.

When the red light gradually faded and the two dolls were revealed, Senior Lake Xylan smashed the bear skin orc’s head with a hammer imbued with red energy.

Kwaaang!

What did I just see? You fought and won against a bearskin orc in that red light?

Senior Pael Enrica landed on her floor and spread a blue wave around her.

The temperature rose due to the red rays containing high heat, embers ignited around the area, and steam rose up as if to cool Senior Lake Xilan’s body.

“Whew. The pattern that divides the wall is usually meant for me and Enrica, but I think you found it a little interesting.”

“Was it a slightly unusual pattern?”

“That’s right.”

“What about the other side over there?”

“It will be over soon. I took care of one thing and moved on.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a wooden wall being cut down in succession was heard.

Creep, crease, crease, quake, kwaaang

After making the cut, I pushed with all my might, causing a tree to fall and Seoyeon jumping out from between the cracks.

“Sian! Are you hurt anywhere!?”

Seo-yeon ran over to check on my body and saw that my hand was torn and bleeding.

“Ugh… Hold out your hand.”

When I showed my palm to Seoyeon, she put her hand on top of mine with a tearful face.

“There’s blood on my hands.”

“This is okay.”

Seo-yeon’s mana gently covered the wound on my hand, and soon after the bleeding stopped, she recovered completely.

While I was recovering, my other colleagues also came over, and Kasori Kiko was carrying two wolf skins.

“Is that loot?”

“They said that processing would be helpful to people who value speed.”

Seoyeon, who was still attached to me, answered.

Senior Lake Xilan looks fine, but I think he needs some recovery.

When she noticed Seoyeon, she approached senior Lake Xilan and restored her stamina.

“Thank you. Well, the beginning and the end seem a little off, but you knew about the dungeon, which is said to be the lowest among the upper-class dungeons, right? From here, solo play is almost impossible unless you have overwhelming skills. So, join a club with a desire to advance. So, if you’re interested, come join Uppers in the second semester.”

In the end, this dungeon was entered to promote the club, so it ended up being a club promotion.
