149 – Fun (2)
Playing with the catapult was short-lived, but it soon came to nothing.
Grace scolded me hard. I scolded them for only reducing their durability in a situation where there were only a few siege weapons.
Furthermore, if you fly with a catapult, it doesn’t do anything and just comes back, so you can’t help but be angry.
Kwaang! Bang! Bang!
“Wow… Is that a person?”
“You’re shooting a cannon with your bare hands? Is that possible?”
“You’re doing that because it’s possible.”
So I acted as I had planned in advance. That’s throwing shells with your bare hands.
It was a simple and ignorant technique, but the effect was amazing. Moreover, red magic power was injected here.
Every time the shell hit the castle wall, it exploded beyond the impact, naturally causing considerable damage.
Even though the distance was quite far, the other side was unable to prepare a proper response. The good news is that we did our best to defend ourselves.
‘Throwing is really useful.’
If there had been no throwing technology, throwing shells would not have had the proper effect.

Not only did the power drop, but the hit rate must have also dropped. Currently, we are concentrating our attacks on just one location to bring down the castle wall.
Even the instructors would not have expected the shell to explode. I guess he was confused because he didn’t have red magic at that time.
“Cannonball, the shell has fallen!”
“Huh?”
The problem was that the number of shells was not enough. Before I had even thrown much, all the shells fell.
Everything, including shells made of iron and shells made of stone. It was replenished from time to time, but even that ran out.
“First, let’s check the condition of the walls. What is the current condition of the walls?”
“Umm…”
At Grace’s command, a student checked with a telescope. Since it was thrown quite a lot, the damage would be considerable.
“It looks like it will collapse if I throw it a few more times… But it won’t be difficult now, right? The sun will slowly set.”
“That’s a bit unfortunate. I really want to supply artillery shells…”
Grace looked up at the sky and muttered. I also looked up at the sky.
We wasted time playing around with the catapult, and wasted more time supplying shells in between.
I also threw it in a hurry at first just to test it, so the shells quickly exploded.
‘If I had intended to throw it, I wouldn’t have thrown it at the castle wall.’
Besides, my current state is closer to having used a bit of force. If the force had been applied properly, such a wall would have been torn down in no time.
No. If you don’t throw a shell in the first place and fly with a catapult to wipe them out, that’s it. But that would end too soon.
“We need to take over the castle soon… At least by tomorrow morning so our scores will be similar.”
Grace was nervous, biting her thumb nail. It seems like more time was wasted than expected.
I also spent a lot of time fooling around, so I plan to resolve it within today. There are many ways.
‘Technology also needs to be tested.’
I looked around for a moment, leaving Grace worried. I was wondering if there were any suitable weapons.
Soon enough, I was able to find the window. I think that would be appropriate.
“Huh!”
Paang!
I threw the spear with as much force as I was throwing a cannonball earlier. A spear fired at high speed.
However, since the javelin was thrown only with pure strength without any magical power, it ended up hitting the castle wall.
I didn’t stop here and threw other spears in succession. Perhaps because there were cracks in the wall, the windows were stuck one after another.
“The end.”
“······What is the end?”
“Work.”
“······?”
Grace tilted her head when she heard that the work was finished. The expression of disbelief is a bonus.
It appears that the human cannonball incident had a big impact. I didn’t trust things I did myself rather than orders.
“I’ll go alone at dawn.”
“Yes?”
“When dawn comes.”
I stopped talking and looked at the castle.
“I’ll tidy up the castle. And open the door.”
“······Really?”
“Yes.”
Pitch-black nights are familiar to me.
******
Even with civilization, there are many things that have not changed. Representative examples of these are day and night.
The day is bright because the sun is shining, and the night is pitch black, relying only on the moonlight.
But there was a place where even the moonlight did not easily enter, a dense forest.
While staying in such a place, my night vision became very bright. It is a bonus that all five senses have become more sensitive.
‘You’re lucky. There is little moonlight.’
4 O’clock in the morning is when people are most likely to let down their guard. I left the occupied area as I told Grace.
There is very little moonlight, so it is the perfect day to sneak in. Of course, whether you can do it well or not is a separate story.
‘I learned how to use a dagger from Yeonju, but will it work out well?’
Walking quietly in the forest and sneaking into a castle are both similar and different.
It’s the same as killing a ghost, but isn’t it dealing with people? I was a little nervous.
‘The castle is lit.’
Soon we arrived near the castle walls. Looking up at the top of the castle wall, the fire is growing bigger.
It is not an electronic product like a light, but a literal fire. It really feels like the Middle Ages on Earth.
I clung to the wall for fear of being caught. Then, he slowly moved and walked towards the window where he had put it in in the morning.
Then, he slowly climbed up, using the pole like an iron bar. It might make a bit of noise, but it’s better than jumping all at once.
‘But why can’t I feel any presence?’
Just before climbing up the castle wall, I stuck my head out to assess the situation. It was strangely quiet on the castle walls.
I wondered if I had been caught, but I quickly realized what was happening.
“Drurling…”
“··· ···”
Yes. There’s always that one low-ranking bastard.
However, even if it is a closed class, there is nothing you can say about it, and since it is a time zone, it is completely understandable.
Moreover, aren’t these students who are not used to being on alert? It will be very difficult to overcome drowsiness.
‘But not just one person, everyone is sleeping?’
When I looked around the top of the castle wall, I saw that there were people leaning against it and sleeping. I wonder how she will react if she sees Karagai.
No. Maybe you scolded him for a long time, but you heard him out of earshot or he grumbled. You must have been wondering who would surprise me in the middle of the night like this.
You will soon realize that that decision was foolish. I strengthened my arms and climbed up the castle wall.
Then, he took out a dagger from his pocket and covered the mouth of the student who was sleeping soundly.
“······Ugh?”
Phew!
Belatedly, the student felt something and reacted, but it was already too late. The dagger is already stuck in his throat.
Of course, it is not a real dagger, but a special dagger. If you stab something, the sword is pushed inwards.
It should be called an assassination dagger. It looks like a toy dagger, but it is clearly a test weapon, so it is effective enough.
Wooow-
The student who was stabbed in the neck with a dagger was given a protective shield. This is much faster than usual.
When killing with an assassination dagger, the speed is fast. It seemed like it was to prevent screaming.
‘It’s fun.’
After killing all the sentries on the castle wall, I looked at the dagger. When I press the tip of the sword with my palm, the dagger gets rolled up inside.
I thought about playing around with this, but put it off until later. I don’t want to die in a ridiculous way.
“Huh? W-what is this? What is this…!”
It looks like someone climbed up the castle wall while he was fiddling around with the dagger.
I immediately threw the dagger in the direction I heard the sound. The reaction continued like a flowing stream.
Bah!
“Keuok······!”
“Uh.”
But the problem is that it is thrown too accurately. Because the dagger hit the student’s head exactly.
The student fainted and closed his eyes. He did not die from being stabbed by a dagger, but fainted.
It is clear when you see that the protective shield surrounds him more slowly than other people. It seems that he was surprised and gave strength.
‘This is why boundaries are important.’
Except for the student who got into trouble while trying to go to the bathroom, all the workers were sabotaging their work.
The professors were probably watching this scene, so they probably clicked their tongues and deducted points. It was probably cut off quite significantly.
On the other hand, since I infiltrated in a way that was close to common sense(?), I would have been given a higher score. Actually, I did this because I thought it would be fun.
‘Sometimes you have to use common sense as well.’
The reason I played around with the catapult was for this purpose. An operation to distract people from their guard.
······In fact, it’s all a lie and the catapult is just for fun. I went down, moving quietly.
The inside of the castle walls were overall plain. From weapon racks where weapons are placed, to various lodging facilities.
The building where supplies were collected had been roughly repaired after I had destroyed it.
‘Let’s see. The place where Kara is sleeping…
I checked each and every campground that was pitched like a tent. Everyone other than Kara had daggers stuck to their necks.
When I wake up the next day, I will curse the workers harshly. Of course, even if the workers had acted normally, they would have broken through.
After searching through each tent, only one was left. Now that we’ve killed Antonio, Kara should be resting over there.
Sweet-
“Koh…”
As expected. When I peeked through the tent entrance, I saw Kara sleeping soundly.
Unlike other people, she was sleeping alone, and it wasn’t because Kara was taking charge of her command.
It is very likely that no one slept with Kara because she was uncomfortable. Kara said it would be more comfortable for her and she would have slept alone.
“Um…”
Before I killed Kara for the final time, I looked down at her face.
She seemed to have killed everyone who even showed her, so she fell asleep without knowing anything about the world. She is as expected a beauty, even when she sleeps.
The attire is quite light, even if it is not a dancer’s uniform. In particular, her firm thighs were revealed between the blankets, capturing everyone’s attention.
“······Phew.”
Then suddenly an interesting idea occurred to me. I used all of my knowledge from the Soul World to recall Tatar customs.
To be exact, it refers to Kara at the time of the tribal union. She actually belonged to the military.
She may be the daughter of a chieftain at the time, but she is also a warrior. Even though she is a precious person, I understand that she does all the same guard duty.
Therefore, it was obvious that there would be quite a bit of trauma related to the military.
Sweet-
So, he carefully put his mouth to Kara’s ear. She then whispered softly.
“Kara-sama. Kara-sama.”
“Umm…”
She frowns when I quietly call her name. At the same time, she twitched her eyebrows as if she would wake up at any moment.
Now all that’s left is one last shot. I giggled and then struck the final blow.
“It’s time to stay alert.”
“Uuuheoup!!”
With the last hit, Kara jumps up and makes a strange sound. The reaction is really cool.
“······Eh?”
Kara wandered around for a while after raising her upper body.
As she was trying to figure out what was going on, she looked back. We just made eye contact.
“······Eh?”
“Hello.”
I waved my hand gently and said hello.
“Did you sleep well?”
“··· ···”
Kara’s expression was truly worth seeing.
