112 – Invitation
At the end of vacation, Clarice Academy.
Ahead of the hastily prepared travel schedule with dungeon investigation practice personnel,
I was able to get two pieces of news about me.
One is that the disciplinary committee acknowledged the performance of [Blood Ashes] And will not hold any responsibility for my actions.
The second was that he would be promoted to grade A, taking into account the aforementioned contribution to subjugation of [Blood Ashes], Clearing Trial 3, written test scores, and recommendations.
I was on my way out of the hallway of the administrative office after roughly completing the procedures and completing the course registration for the second semester.
‘It’s going well.’
It’s the beginning of Chapter 4 from the 2nd semester, but so far the situation has been fine like a sail with a tailwind.
‘All that remains is to finish Kaeran.’
It was when I was thinking that.
“Lev Denek.”
A cold voice similar to Selena’s.
“… ?”
Violet, a woman with long purple hair, stopped me.
“Congratulations. Advancement.”
She congratulated me without hesitation.
Violet is not the type to be interested in others for nothing, so there must be a reason why she approached me.
I just spit out my thoughts.
“A senior recommended it, right? My promotion.”
“… “
It seems that the recommender who promoted me was Violet.
If it wasn’t for that, Clarisse would have come to recommend a promotion test,
There’s no way the promotion notice will come this quickly.
“… Right.”
She admitted it coolly.
“That’s not a bad thing, is it? You, your skills are pretty good.”
“… “
“Because cadets have their own level.”
A compliment from the head of the Student Council of the Shooting Department.
If the guy like Gale Sharpie, the male elf who had been arguing with me, had heard this, he would have gone wild.
“So what? I must have a reason for doing this.”
“… You’re quick-witted. The reason is simple. I wanted cadet Lev Denek to come in as the representative of the gunnery department and a cadet who wanted to become a hero.”
“… “
Aspiring warrior,
He is literally a cadet who aspires to become a hero, as Edwin told me in the Imperial City, saying it was his dream.
The reason why cadets aspire to become heroes is simple.
To catch a corps commander level demon or demon king.
Probably because of his enormous power and prestige.
Surprisingly, networking is indispensable for this.
Cadets aspiring to be warriors must find the party members that best suit them.
In the first place, the recommended party size for the Game was 5 people.
Without the combination, the progress itself was impossible.
‘Um.’
And taking all of this together, I guess,
This young lady who always thinks she is the right person for the warrior party…
It means that you need me.
Even as a party member.
“How is it? If you come in as my nomination, no student will object. First of all, I am the representative of the shooter department.”
“… “
When I said nothing, Violet opened her mouth a bit embarrassed.
“I’m telling you just in case, but I was just careless when it was bloody ashes.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Absolutely. I was just taken aback for a moment, but I want you to know that I am not that incompetent. If you want, you can come and watch my mock match.”
“… “
‘Did you prepare… ‘
It was a quiet setting… Violet quietly said everything she had to say.
Well, that’s right.
If it wasn’t for the sealing flesh at the right time, my plan would have gone awry.
Because she is portrayed as very strong in .
However, my answer was already decided.
“I will refuse.”
“!”
I politely declined.
The reason is obvious.
My goal is to stop Kaeran’s ending and safely graduate from the academy.
Of course, in order to keep Kaeran in check, it would be nice if I organized a party and defeated the demon king myself.
It’s not that easy.
First of all, it’s true that I got a chance, but I’m not the main character.
For now, I think it would be better to wait until I graduate from the academy.
“… “
Violet opened her mouth slightly, and she stood still.
Perhaps, this situation was unexpected.
Until now, there must have been only people who wanted to look good by her side.
“… Can you think again? If it’s your problem that I’m in too much of a rush to make an offer, it’s okay to give me a little more time. If not… Is there any reason for the refusal?”
“Okay. Is it dangerous?”
“Danger… “
“I can’t do that. The bowl doesn’t work.”
“… ?”
“So, instead of me, I recommend this cadet, Selena Windforth.”
I subtly inserted Selena.
In love affairs, Violet is completely separated from the narrative due to Kaeran’s trick,
She is unable to pass on her archery secrets to Selena, whom she has been keeping an eye on.
‘It was really unfortunate that I got cancer… ‘
But, now I am here.
If the narrative can be changed, the synergy between the two will be amazing.
This is sure to be a great help to Edwin, a fellow aspiring cadet.
* * *
Violet was taken aback.
In the first place, it was because he hadn’t made the assumption that he would decline.
Simply put, she only thought about whether or not she could accept Lev Denek as the representative of the gunnery department.
Anyway, during [Blood Ashes], I took risks, but I think that aspiring warriors are dangerous… ?
No, no.
Considering the unexpected appearances he showed, this might be the right ending.
‘… My thoughts were short.’
Violet said, feeling bitter at her impatience.
“… I know. Selena Windforce, let’s consider that.”
Her personality is not outdated.
Trying to get something that wasn’t given by force is just an ugly look.
Besides, Selena Windforce was also one of the students Violet was aware of.
Even among professors, she had a reputation for being good at wind archery.
‘By the way, it’s amazing.’
Everyone acknowledges the shooter, Selena Windforce.
And a human shooter who has great qualities, but doesn’t get much attention… Lev Denek.
The two of them have a relationship, it’s a pretty interesting relationship.
‘If it’s enough to make a recommendation instead, you mean I’m not a rival… ‘
He is a man whose interest grows the more he learns.
After organizing her thoughts, Violet brought up a different proposal this time.
“The business is over, but in fact I am also interested in your archery.”
“… “
“So, I’m thinking of interacting with you from time to time. Is this okay?”
“Yes, what is that?”
“Then, since we’re both shooters and we’ll be living in the Green Building, we can use this lounge to coordinate our schedules.”
When Violet checked the schedule, Lev said another unexpected word.
“Ah, I moved to that dormitory.”
“…Yes?”
“I am living in the Cellafy Black House.”
“… “
This was also a difficult story for Violet to understand.
‘Wasn’t it closed… ?’
I heard that the black crown is extremely uncomfortable.
Apart from the deterioration of the building, it is a place that would never be thought of by cadets obsessed with 1 point 1 point…
In the end, Violet carefully floated her luck.
“… If it’s a cellar pipe… This is where Cadet Yeriel is the head of the house, right?”
“Yes, you know.”
This was also the reason Violet got to know Yeriel in the first place.
The story that a 2nd year high school student from the Ministry of Magic became the head of the old dormitory was quite memorable.
In Violet’s mind, the image of Yeriel next to Lev Deneck… Overlap.
She says she lives in the same dorm… ?
Isn’t that a bit dangerous at the age of youth?
“Well, there are only two people in the Cellafi Pavilion… Do you live there?”
“No, there is one more.”
At the word that there was one more person, Violet, thinking about whether or not to be relieved, swallowed her saliva once and asked.
“No way, … Are you a Selena cadet?”
“… I do not know.”
“…… “
Complicated.
What does it mean to be a man who has a relationship with a woman?
This is an academy where the dignity of nobility is harmonized.
“Sure. I’m busy.”
“… !”
Contrary to appearance, leave weak violet in this part,
Lev Denek quietly disappeared.
* * *
After getting out of the administrative coffin, I was sketching out my plans for the future.
Chapter 4 starting from the 2nd semester…
According to the contents of the affair, the academy, which has a somewhat heinous atmosphere, conducts the curriculum in groups rather than individuals and focuses on practice.
That’s why I, who has risen to Grade A, like it or hate it, should get along with the cadets here.
Grade A has the feeling that you can reach Grade S with just a little bit more, so there were a lot of very enthusiastic cadets.
Anyway, in the story going on like that, Violet… Due to Kaeran’s trick, he gets into an accident.
‘I must stop this unconditionally.’
I also developed characters to help Edwin in my own way, and I wonder how strong Kaeran must be after losing her copy.
Crowpay, who gradually turns into a villain guild, will look after you, so you should keep this in mind as well.
A situation where even one person has to be on my side.
And the demons of Pandemonium also have to perform rituals.
By this point, you should have fully recognized me for destroying the 14th.
‘How to break through this… ‘
I’m wondering if there’s a way to eat it raw, as I’ve done so far.
‘Aren’t the devils fools too… I need a groundbreaking method.’
Such a nice card…
“Ah!”
At that time, I belatedly remembered the status window that had been put away in the corner.
▶[Selective Reward]
[Choose a Demon Hunt Reward]
‘Wow, I really was crazy.’
After checking and worrying about what the reward was, he hadn’t made a final choice.
Closed beta patch version,
If you do not select a reward and acquire a new reward, it will be overwritten, so it is impossible to choose a trick later.
‘I have no choice but to choose.’
Without delay, I popped up the status window.
– Belt ring.
——————————————————
▶[Blessing of Bloody Ashes] [Lv.1] (Passive) (Basic Skill)
: [Passive] – Permanently increases fire resistance to level 7.
However, if the current resistance is level 7 or higher, the effect will not be applied.
[Active] – The unquenchable flame of bloody ash represents the elemental magic of flame. Consumes mana for the caster’s attack, giving additional fire damage in proportion to magic. On/off technology.
Difficulty to obtain: Hard
——————————————————
▶[Prelude to Resurrection] [No Lv.] (Normal Attribute)
: Upon successful resurrection, randomly steals one skill from the target that killed you. (Can be used once)
‘The resurrected soul of [Blood Ashes]… Spreads its wings of flame for a better leap… ‘
– Warrior, Kroon
Difficulty to obtain: A little difficult
——————————————————
▶[Reward for defeating Class A Boss]
: Acquire 500 skill points.
Randomly set stat increases by 0.5.
——————————————————
‘Um.’
The reason for the inconsistency is simple.
Because it’s really vague.
First of all, the second skill, [Rise of Resurrection], Is probably the reason why [Blood Ashes] Suddenly created a fire shield while receiving Melissa’s attack that day, creating a variable.
Every quarter, in Eternal Flame, [Blood Ash] Was defeated, so the skill of the flame mage was stolen.
Stealing is probably forward compatibility of copying.
It’s because I’m adding one skill to me and removing one of the opponent’s skills at the same time.
However, the skill [The Rise of Resurrection] Dropped by [Blood Ashes] Does not have the most essential resurrection function.
It’s just a trait that gives additional effects to resurrection.
In terms of passability or rarity, the first [Blessing of Blood Ash] Can be said to be overkill.
Of course, I do have one resurrection skill that I got after defeating the great demon Bune.
——————————————————
▶[Soul Fountain] [No Lv.] (Passive)
: When receiving fatal damage, resurrects at a designated fountain of magical power.
(*The state after resurrection is determined according to the size of the ‘bowl’ with remnants)
(*The respawn location can only be specified in Pandemonium)
(*Can be used once)
Difficulty to obtain: very hard
——————————————————
‘The fountain of the soul.’
That’s why [Rise of Resurrection] Is also not an incompetent attribute at all.
The problem is that in order to see the effect of that skill, there is a precondition that you must die.
I’m not the Skeleton Archmage from a certain canyon game…
However, there is a limit of 1 episode, so it is a concern.
“Wait… “
At that time, the idea of eating another day began to pop into my head.
A puzzle where the pieces fit together.
‘If you do this well, it’s a big deal… ?’
It’s an absurd risk, but…
Maybe there is a way to catch the two rabbits.
I made a decision as if possessed by something.
‘Select… The prelude to resurrection.’
