57 – Ranked Play (2)
Clarisse Academy, Coffin of Relationships.
Hazel, who was in front of the insolvency of the Alchemy Circle, looked around to see if anyone had seen it, and then closed the door.
‘Now I don’t know!’
She had one promise with Lev Denek.
To silence what is happening in the Alchemy Circle.
And, do one of his requests.
-There is a traitor in your circle.
– Eh? Are you telling me to believe it?
– Yeah, I can’t believe it. So go through the specimens every day, and if you find anything strange or singular in the waste, contact me with this crystal.
Believe it or not, he said that there was a traitor inside the Alchemy Circle and asked him to closely observe this experiment.
– This is it??
Hazel is really just discovering.
I don’t know who it is, but the microbes I was trying to discard… observed.
This unidentified creature was in a state of gradual growth, whether it had absorbed the amniotic fluid of the homunculus he was about to discard.
‘By the way, you can give it to me like this… ?’
In the end, Lev Denek took the test tube with the creature in it.
I couldn’t even dry it.
Hazel is in school thanks to Rev.
He was also the one who solved the financial problems of her alchemy circle.
‘I really don’t know!’
It was Hazel who hoped nothing bad would happen.

I am troubled because I left the coffin of relationships and came to a secluded place where other people’s eyes do not reach.
———————————————————
▶[Parasite Parasite]
[Named F-rank monster]
[Insects, complex]
[Risk level: ?]
[Features: If there is a host, it can grow into an adult.]
[Current status: no host, larva]
———————————————————
Parasitic parasite in the form of disgusting larvae in vitro.
“Hmm… ”
It’s hard to believe that this parasitic monster, who is named after all, grows up later and causes such a commotion in Chapter 3.
Anyway, it’s pointless to plant this bug on Kaeran.
The guy is picky and needlessly delicate.
It’s a matter of how to plant this bug in him, but
If a parasitic parasite, which is barely an F rank monster, is in your body, you’ll notice it and get rid of it right away.
So, I’m going to try again this time for a loophole in the system.
“larva… ”
Once present, the state of the parasite is a larva.
In order to get the parasitic skill by killing him, I think you have to become an adult.
You never know when you will become an adult, and if you kill it now, the proper skill will not drop.
‘ah!’
A good idea popped into my head in an instant.
‘Are you using the Ark of the Black Death Dragon?’
Obviously, it was said that if you use it against a monster, you can grow, because this guy is also a monster.
‘Encroachment.’
– Tiling.
[Erosion degree: 0.5/110]
At the same time, I still have about 0.5 degree of encroachment left, which I couldn’t pour out all of the jet black armor.
‘Is it ultimately decided by the ark of the Black Death Dragon?’
For this reason, I wonder if it is right to decide on selective compensation, but
There are some substitutes for other skills,
The only way to reduce the degree of encroachment on my own is to attack in the state of mindlessness.
It’s always impossible for Arya to purify by her side, so having one of these skills wouldn’t be a bad thing.
‘Reward, the ark of the Black Death Dragon.’
Let me consider the reward choice,
[A new skill has been acquired!]
Then a status window pops up.
‘Ark of the Black Dragon, skill registration.’
I calmly registered my skills in the ultimate space and focused on the parasitic monster of the examiner.
– Whew…
The black magic that adhered to the body like dregs rose as it was and headed towards the target.
.
.
.
‘Has it been…?’
[Erosion degree: 0/100]
The encroachment level is only 0.5, so it is very small compared to what the jet black armor used, but…
The effects began to appear immediately.
-…
The parasitic parasite, which was a small caterpillar, skipped the growth process and became an adult.
“eww.”
It’s a bonus that it’s a little thicker and looks more gruesome.
I immediately used the magic eye.
———————————————————
▶[Parasite Parasite]
[Named F+ Rank Monster]
[Insects, complex]
[Risk: High]
[Features: Parasites and reproduces when a new host is found]
[Current status: no host, imago]
———————————————————
‘All that’s left is… ‘
To finish the Parasite Parasite with my own hands to acquire skills.
Barely able to fill the test tube, this little worm,
If you get the right host, you’ll have a riot as seen in the fanfiction.
If it had been parasitic on a normal human, it would have removed the abnormality of the body sooner or later.
After all, it was parasitized by the homunculus and reproduced endlessly.
The word “parasitic” is not a very good word, and because it is grotesque, many readers deviated from this chapter… I remember.
Anyway, if I get rid of him right now, it will surely interfere with the future story.
But the situation has already come.
Parasites and demons are demons.
‘bye.’
I administered the anthelmintic that Hazel had brought to the test tube.
.
.
.
Not a very pleasant squeaking sound.
“eww… ”
The pesticide Hazel gave was perfect.
[Clear achievements!]
[Named: Parasites have been killed]
[Number of Named Remaining: 140 Objects]
[You can get a Devil Hunting Reward!]
And with a familiar spear, a reward appeared.
[Choose a Demon Hunting Reward]
———————————————————
▶[Parasite] [No Lv.] (Compound technology???)
: Designate a target, use it as a host, and parasitize???
The host continues to weaken, and over time creates an environment for the parasite to reproduce.
The rate of decline also increases with breeding???
Acquisition difficulty: ???
———————————————————
▶[Compensation for defeating F+ level monsters]
: Acquires 60 extra points.
A randomly determined stat is increased by 0.1.
———————————————————
‘Also.’
Whether an error occurred, it is a feast of ???.
Does not matter. I ignored it and chose parasitism.
[You have acquired a new skill!]
[parasitism]
Skills that you can never get if you follow the fanfic and the true story of the original game,
parasitism.
Parasitism is a skill that is difficult to define.
It’s literally a skill that requires the caster to be attached to someone else’s body.
Crucially, I’m not even a worm, so I won’t be able to use parasites directly.
– Tiling.
[Error: Player ‘Rev Denek’ does not meet the conditions to use Parasitic]
Again, as I got this skill, who was judged as a closed beta game, errors started to occur in the settings.
So, like mine painting, it will be arranged as much as possible according to the original.
– Tiling!
[An error has been fixed: Parasitic skill is changed to active, curse type basic skill according to player ‘Rev Denek’]
[Penalty: Changed to a skill that can be used once]
– Tiling!
———————————————————
▶[Parasite] [No Lv.] (Active) (Basic Skill) (Can be used once)
: Designate a target and use it as a host, and cast a curse (Lv.4) where parasites breed.
When the curse is successful, the level of the random skill possessed by the host continuously decreases, and when the target skill disappears, it is transferred to the next skill.
(*If there is no skill, the characteristics and status will be decreased)
(*The rate of decline is affected by the reproduction rate of parasites)
Acquisition Difficulty: None
———————————————————
Parasitic skill has been changed to Active Curse Magic according to the error resolution.
Tooltips have been specifically modified to suit my gamer status.
‘If you look at the effect alone, I’ll believe it even if it’s almost like a demon lord… ‘
However, the biggest weakness of this curse magic is that it is only level 4.
Perhaps if I walked to Kaeran, it would be at once due to his rainbow resistance.
[Target ‘Kaeran Heath’ is immune]
Yes, I will say resistance.
‘So we need to change our thinking.’
Kaeran and I are fundamentally different.
He’s a local, even if he’s a writer’s favourite.
I am a possessor with gamer characteristics.
therefore,
I…
no?
I plan to use this curse on my ‘skill’.
Taking advantage of the gap between fanfiction and games,
Because I have to put a curse on him so that he never notices.
“Parasite, used on myself.”
– Tiling.
[The target ‘Rev Denek’ is me. Do you really want to cast it?]
[*Current Curse Resistance cannot resist]
“Cast.”
In response to my answer without hesitation, a purple message appeared with a gritty sound.
[I have been cursed by a parasitic!]
[One random skill becomes parasitic!]
[Luck activated! : (Second workaround) Skills you don’t need the most have been infected]
‘…?’
Good luck here too.
I opened the skill window with a trembling heart.

[▶[Parasite Fireball (Skillful) ][Lv.Max] (Active) (Basic Skill) (Infected!)
: 1 Circle Magic – Maximized version of the fireball.
Mana consumption is high, but can handle fireballs freely
(*Converts to blue flames!)
Exp : (Max)
Acquisition Difficulty: Normal
[*Skill level continuously decreases]
[*When falling, parasites are created in the body]
[*When the specified skill is destroyed, it will be transferred to the next skill]
———————————————————
“… !”
Upon checking, the useless fireball magic obtained by defeating the fire demon was selected.
I tried to persevere no matter what skill I got, but luck like this helps.
Skill ‘Parasite Fireball… ‘ …
Maybe this is possible… ?
* * *
After a few days,
Ranked Play, the core event of Claris Academy, has begun.
A large-scale event held for a total of 10 days,
From all over the empire, crowds flocked to see the war heroes, the imperial family, knights, and large guilds, forming a festive atmosphere.
Of course, it is not a festival for cadets.
This is because, in the original duel, a two-week break is guaranteed after one time, but a duel in Ranked Play guarantees a break of only one day.
In addition, the purpose of this class before
Because if anyone was dissatisfied with the evaluations the professors gave to the cadets, they had to prove it with their skills.
– Well, I’ll check it again!
The rules of Ranked Play, which I’ve heard the instructor get tired of, are simple.
The duel can be named up to two times in total.
There are no restrictions on receiving nominations.
Here, if you are nominated by a higher grade than yourself, you can also reject it.
Therefore, there were many cases in which the class S fights with each other in the same class.
Of course, the majority of people come to Claris Academy to watch this duel.
Anyway, Kaeran put the application in right away, our duel is today, the day of the event… was scheduled for
“Everyone but me is a festival… ”
I didn’t know because I was only in the training room for a few days, but it was like an amusement park that was crowded…
I sighed and headed to the coffin of struggle.
.
.
.
———————————————————
today’s draw
Kaeran Heath (Rank S)
Rev Denek (Class B)
———————————————————
“The A-4 match is here…!”
Yeriel, a sophomore, who was helping the juniors and the rank-and-file spectators in the coffin of struggle, could not hide her embarrassment.
“Rev… Really… Are you doing this again…?”
There is a familiar name, Rev Denek, in the group A match that you have to guide.
Even this time, his opponent is a grade S, and besides, he is a freshman who is evaluated as a senior if he wants to.
If even a senior student knows this,
Your classmates will see just how overwhelming this matchup is.
“Jeriel! 1st grader grade S here, are you playing?”
Second-year cadets from the same grade approached her to take a shift.
“yes that’s right.”
“Wow, look at the crowd.”
“Well, you’re going to see the face of a half-broken freshman~, the match is obvious.”
“I know.”
“Isn’t all the seats already filled with officials trying to recruit Kaeran?”
Fortunately, they do not know the relationship between Rev and Yeriel.
There was no reason to go around saying that there were two of them in the dormitory.
In any case, the cadets’ duel predictions did not differ significantly by grade level.
‘It would be better if I didn’t get hurt… ‘
After the duel with Gaelon, I thought it was fortunate that the ratings even among first-year students seemed to have improved a bit.
A duel with a first-year junior that is getting attention…
‘really… Why do you keep worrying… !’
Is there any reason why you want to be an outsider?
At that time, Daisy, a cadet from the Ministry of Magic who skipped along with Yeriel, said as if jokingly.
“How do you think the second-year chief thinks, who do you think will win?”
“Well… ?”
“Ah, come to think of it, Yeriel, you! Last time, Kaeran, didn’t he approach him? What did you two say?”
“Nothing… ! That’s… There was none.”
“Ah~. What are you two doing?”
“no… !”
Yeriel just cut it off and said.
Come to think of it, there is something I can remember.
‘no wonder… You came here because of this.’
It must have been before the dungeon investigation practice, or Kaeran had visited Selapi Black Hall.
Rev was absent,
– Rev Denek, are you here?
– You live in a place like this.
– Do you want to live? I don’t think it suits you.
Maybe he was just trusting his face and talking to Yeriel.
-If you’re not interested in the dormitory, would you like to leave?
-… it’s rough I was also trying to promote.
– On the way out, over there.
– Okay, bye.
Kick, a rash attitude that blows a smile.
‘Why is this person so popular… ?’
Rev isn’t polite, either, but he’s not offended at all, and this guy is smirk to the point where it’s obvious.
However, in Yeriel’s objective view, Kaeran is by no means weak.
He was also taking classes in his sophomore year, and even though he was consistent with his goofy attitude, the professors around him praised that an exciting genius had appeared.
It will probably be a tougher opponent for Rev than Gaylon.
‘But why… ‘
– Rather than worrying about my work, Yeriel, I want you to focus on what you have to do.
Do you feel like Rev is going to win again this time around?
Is it simply because you are acquainted with him?
With that thought in mind, Yeriel checked the time on her wrist watch.
‘Would you like to see it till the end? ?’
it’s tight
It was because a while ago, the war hero Umberto wanted to see the Selaphy Black Crown and sent Jeon Seo-gu to ask if he could introduce it.
“Jeriel, where are you going? Don’t you watch the game?”
“Yeah… wait a minute!”
“Oh, I’m worried about who, so I can’t see you?”
“really… no it’s not?”
Others may misunderstand or not,
‘Rev…!’
There were only thoughts of him in Jeriel’s mind.
This guy just put curse on himself so he can curse others
copy skill is gonna go down most likely
