251 – It’s so easy, right?(2)
Rod’s old story continued for quite a long time. It was fun, even aside from the fact that he confessed to Rize and then got dumped.
The most interesting thing among them was the passage of time. I have also met the parents of professors.
Because I met so many people, I just skipped over it. He found out later after coming to the academy.
‘Didn’t Lise also say that she met Hector a long time ago?’
It’s amazing to see things like this. Meeting the childhood of someone who is now an adult.
It seems that some elderly people treat grown adults like children for no reason. It means that the memory remains clearly.
Anyway, Rod’s story about old times continued until evening. She wanted to hear more, but she had to eat, so she put it off.
‘The theory… Is done. ‘I guess I’ll just count it as an interesting story.’
To be honest, it didn’t help much with the theory. It’s just a waste of time.
Rod himself tried to tell us about the theory, but at some point the story got lost.
I think I’ll listen to it often because it’s quite interesting to me. I’ll bring snacks and tea with me later.
How many days have passed since then? It was a time when I was thinking with my acquaintances about how to write theory well.
Classes continue the same even as time passes. And there were some pretty interesting exercises along the way.
“Today, we will learn how to conquer a dungeon. And we will do a mock practice on it.”
Sarah, a cold-faced beauty, opened her mouth first. Other professors were standing next to Sarah.
The morning class was a theory class as always, but the afternoon class was not. Originally, one professor was in charge, but today everyone is in charge.
When you see this, it means there is something going on in the afternoon training. The students, including me, sat around her and listened to Sarah.
“Dungeons are broadly classified into two types. They are residential areas where monsters who live in groups or tribes reside. Goblins are a representative example. Goblins in particular have a habit of collecting things, so if you attack them well, you can make a big profit. .”
Not just goblins. Most monsters’ hiding places are called dungeons.
Monsters not only boast enormous value as a by-product alone, but you can sometimes see the corpses of other adventurers.
Get compensation or loot items through the corpse. It’s surprisingly useful.
“In another case, there are people staying there. In this case… It is more dangerous. You can see a lot of particularly terrible things.”
There are many different types of cruel situations. First of all, there is basically human trafficking, drug manufacturing and so on.
The most terrible thing was the hideout of the guy who slaughtered people. A man who gained notoriety under the nickname “Butcher.”
Users who saw it commented that humans are more evil than devils, and that even Satan has given up.
‘They are beasts, not humans.’
Animals do not treat their kind as objects, even though they consider them as competitors.
Of course, in extreme situations, they eat each other, but this is the instinct of all living things.
Who can criticize someone for committing cannibalism just before starving to death? Rather, the person who committed cannibalism should be shocked.
“So, the simulation practice we will be doing today is simple. Avoid the traps that were set in advance and defeat the enemies inside. Everyone, please watch this.”
Sarah knocked on something as if knocking. It’s a target shaped like a very familiar person.
It is closer to a doll than a target board. It was quite thick and looked like a leather doll.
“It’s a specially made doll. It’s also your enemy during mock training. It’s okay if you hit it gently like this…”
Tuk Tuk-
Sarah knocked on the doll’s head as before. There was no reaction.
“If you hit it this hard…”
Wow!
And then a strong punch follows. As soon as Sarah’s fist landed on her head, the doll collapsed on the floor.
If I had just collapsed normally, I would have been able to move on and say it was just that. But that doll is a bit unique.
Even though it felt like I was falling down, I got up again like a roly poly. It was a pretty strong punch, but he looked fine.
“I can see that it’s fine.”
“··· ···”
Everyone must have felt the same way about Sarah’s words. What are we going to do now?
However, Sarah continued her explanation while maintaining her characteristic cold expression.
“It only falls into a groggy state for a short time like this, but a stronger force is needed to truly suppress it. For example, a weapon.”
“··· ···”
“You can definitely kill someone by cutting off their head, not to mention their vital parts.”
Hook!
As she said those words, Sarah thrust the dagger into her doll’s neck. She took out the dagger with incredible speed.
Unlike before, the doll did not stand upright and collapsed on the floor. I couldn’t even stand up like a roly-poly.
“What you have to do in the simulation is to avoid or destroy the traps, kill all the dolls inside, and come out with the supplies.”
I think it would be quite an interesting exercise. The tutorial that always comes up every time I play FPS on Earth.
It would be like saying that the fruit killing skills are excellent. Should we call it the skill of killing dolls here?
Anyway, all explanations were over, and we moved to the room where the simulation practice would take place. It’s a place similar to a special sparring hall.
‘It’s a set that looks like something from a real FPS tutorial.’
It’s blocked on all sides so you can’t see inside, but that’s exactly what it looks like from the outside.
Moreover, it is large, perhaps because there are all kinds of traps installed there. It seems like it will be used surprisingly often.

“You just have to enter here one by one and break through. There are sections that are disadvantageous to melee troops and sections that are disadvantageous to wizards. The balance has been maintained as best as possible, so don’t complain.”
“Are there any cases of injury?”
“There are a lot.”
Usually, it is normal to answer “No” To that question. But Sarah’s answer is the exact opposite.
She may have said that to create tension, but Sarah is the type of person who cannot lie.
Thanks to that, a strange sense of tension subsided. I was curious because it was my first time doing a simulation like this.
“But you don’t have to worry too much. The difficulty level of the practice isn’t that difficult.”
“Then why are you hurt?”
“Well. I let my guard down?”
The turn was decided after Sarah’s words, which were contradictory in many ways. The turns are all fairly random.
How fair would it be for professors to draw lots themselves? Honestly, there is no need to manipulate it, just do it.
“Number 1 is…”
“··· ···”
“··· ···”
The number chosen through a lottery. As soon as she confirmed the turn number, Sarah was speechless.
As she lost her words, the other professors looked puzzled and checked her number. And the other professors were equally at a loss for words.
Soon, all eyes turn to one place. Those eyes were aimed directly at me.
“······Shivar.”
“Oh.”
My name was called from Sarah’s mouth after struggling. It’s too clever to be a coincidence.
Sometimes, when I see things like this, I wonder if Chaos is secretly manipulating them. Of course, that is unlikely.
Since I’ve been called, I have to get up. When I woke up, all eyes around me were on me.
“Shouldn’t he just be excluded? If they destroy everything…”
“If it breaks, it’s our responsibility. This is how it is supposed to be.”
“Or rather, use the last number…”
Hey. I can hear everything. Aren’t you treating me too much like a troublemaker?
Even though I am a troublemaker, I plan to do my best in practical training. I pretended not to hear anything and approached the professors.
When I approached the professors, they returned to their usual routine, as if they had never made a fuss. Then Sarah opened her mouth.
“Just go inside there and come out the exit.”
“Yes.”
“Professor! What is the fastest record you broke?”
Just as I was about to enter, someone asked a question. This is a pretty meaningful question.
Usually, records are important in these mock exercises. Finally Sarah answered.
“The shortest record is 5 minutes and 20 seconds. On average, it’s about 10 to 11 minutes.”
“It’s taking longer than I thought?”
“That’s right.”
Like the students whispering, it takes longer than expected. First of all, the shortest record is quite long.
It appears to be a fairly elaborate exercise. Maybe that’s why I looked forward to it even more.
“Then you can go in now. There is a suitable weapon inside, so you can choose whatever you want.”
“From what time?”
“There will be a line. The moment you cross that line, it begins.”
Magic is definitely convenient. I listened to Sarah’s explanation and entered the set.
When I entered the set, I felt it was a little darker than outside, but it appears that the brightness was adjusted to be as similar to the dungeon as possible.
‘It doesn’t seem like anything special…’
I looked around and found a weapon rack. There I picked up a hatchet of appropriate size.
For this type of practice, it is better to have one hand free. If I had double-handedly listened, the response could have been delayed.
All preparations are complete, I have figured out where the line Sarah mentioned is. It was easy to find as it was marked in red below.
‘Can I get over this?’
As soon as you cross the red line.
Rat!
I heard the sound of something opening.
Quaaa!
“Huh?”
A huge fireball flew in front of me.
The greeting is so heartwarming.

When Sivar went inside to conduct a mock practice, the professors looked at him with worried eyes.
For the sake of fairness, we drew lots, but who would have guessed that Shivar would be chosen? Moreover, this practice carries a high risk of damage.
“It’ll be okay, right?”
“It’ll be okay.”
“It’ll be okay.”
I’m not worried about Sivar. They are worried about the dolls and objects that Sivar will destroy.
I wanted to tell God not to break things, but that was also ambiguous. Because there was a strong feeling of discrimination.
If the other students destroy the trap, Shivar will destroy the trap. This prejudice was so deep that I couldn’t help it.
“Forgetting that, how many minutes will it take?”
“Wouldn’t it take at least 7 minutes? Even if you’re a Sivar student, it’s your first time, so it’ll be difficult.”
“Well, if he’s physically as good as Shiva, wouldn’t he just ignore everything and come out?”
“There is a trap to prevent that. It will take time.”
This mock practice is quite useful. It is easy for people who are not only sharp-eyed but also good at improvisation to pass the exam.
Sometimes traps pop out from unexpected places, dolls appear, etc. It is a practice that is implemented consistently every grade.
“Now that I think about it, who set the fastest record?”
“It was so long ago that I don’t even remember. At least not in my generation.”
“It took me about 10 minutes to do that too.”
“I have 8 minutes.”
As the professors were talking half worried and half excited, the students were also talking with similar feelings.
“What if Sivar destroys everything?”
“That’s right. Then there’s nothing we can do.”
“Wouldn’t that be expensive?”
Everyone seems worried that Shivar will destroy everything. My head works well, but the problem is that I don’t use it.
Because his physical strength is so excellent, there is no need to use his brain. Moreover, it happened to be the first one to start.
“I guess I can only pray that he comes out unharmed.”
“Are you going to Sivar?”
“No. The things inside.”
“Uh, huh?”
At that time, someone gave a confused reaction. The reaction soon spread throughout the students.
When Shivar’s acquaintances turned their heads, they showed a similar reaction.
“Is it out already?”
“How much time has passed?”
“I don’t think even 5 minutes have passed…”
Shivar was walking out of the exit. However, the appearance was very strange.
It looked like it was charred, as if it had been hit head-on by a fire pit. Even the professors were shocked when they saw that.
“······Shivar student? Why do you look like this…”
“Everything was correct.”
“Yes?”
“I just hit it because I was afraid it would break. It’s fine.”
A truly extraordinary answer, saying that he just got hit for fear of breaking something.
When the professors heard that, they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. It’s good to not break things, but it’s too extreme.
At the same time, I felt sorry for no reason. Seeing this means that Shivar is also clearly aware of it.
A troublemaker or king of destruction who destroys things at any given time. It looks like he’s starting to notice.
“······Please wash up first. Student Shiva, we will finish our practical training here today.”
“Yes.”
Almost all of the clothes were burned and were reduced to rags. The blackened hair is a bonus.
Hearing Godin’s words, Sivar moved trudgingly and headed to the shower room. People stared blankly at the back.
“Shivar.”
“Huh?”
At that moment, a delicate voice called Shivar. Sivar turned his head to the call.
When she turned her head, Luna with her characteristic fierce face caught her eye. As soon as Luna faced Sivar, she opened her mouth.
“What’s the difficulty level? Was it easy?”
“··· ···”
Shivar stared at Luna for a while.
“Yes. It was easy. Really.”
I walked forward while coming up with an unexpected answer.
The students, including Luna, grew strangely confident after hearing the answer.
“Wow…”
I had no idea that Shivar was in pain.
