Chapter 64 The Weakest (3)
To be honest.
I think I was very considerate of the new students in my own way.
I was thinking of getting it through. There’s nothing good about killing freshman’s spirits more than necessary, and it’s ugly to fight and fight to beat the juniors.
However, it is counterproductive when tea is taken care of. You have to show your strong side, but it is right to take the test seriously.
Only when I show my best can the students who pass the test truly experience a sense of accomplishment.
This is not only for me, but for all of Constell to conduct this test with the same mindset.
Because of this, not only did Elin place a limit on me, but I also placed a limit on myself.
Weapons that are duplicated by weaving do not rise above the rare level. In other words, Mjölnir, Excalibur, Gram, as well as the ‘Arsenal of the Imperial Family’ are all excluded. You can use some of the junk weapons in the workshop.
In addition, he does not use the ‘Neil Zach’s Shortsword’ that he possesses in real life.
I don’t even use Menosorpo. In fact, this is not a limitation, but is being restrained because the attention around the moment of writing is too much.
In other words, he was dealing with the students with the control of the Black Heaven itself, the instantaneous blow of pure weaving, and the cloning of ordinary weapons.
It’s not my fault that I didn’t pass the test even with this. It’s the first graders’ fault.
I don’t know of any other two-step test situations, but maybe it’s mostly similar? There will be very few students who will move on to level 3.
‘I had high expectations for this team.’
I briefly glanced at five people still in discussion.
The first thing that catches your eye is Pielot.
His full name is Pielot von Livanche. Of course, he is a well-known character.
However, in the game, it takes a little longer to meet the main character, Aster. There was no such skill test in the game, and the first and second graders meet properly from the time of the joint mission.
And at the time of meeting, Pielot is already a top contributor to the sky, so as soon as he sees the main character, Aster, he tries to win and eat it.
If you choose between good and bad actors, you are good, but depending on the progress of the game, there is an element of anxiety that can be corrupted.
‘Pielot definitely has the potential to grow into a high-level combatant.’
But that’s not the case right now. The expectations that Constell and the family place on him are also to have expectations based on his potential, not his current ability. Pielot thinks that this is his current ability.
Whether I’m a human sloth or sloth, strong or weak, from Pielot’s point of view, it was right for all five of them to attack me. There is no reason not to use a colleague. Every sophomore I know would have done that.
‘I’d rather be fine.’
Rather, it is a good opportunity.
In order for Pielot to grow more, to stop arrogance and build up his skills as soon as possible.

Now have to step on it.Like other freshmen, I would like to let them pass if possible, but that is after making Pielot change his mind.
And in order to be successful.
“great! Let’s go, Sloth!”
Dier, who was leading the discussion, exclaimed. It’s dazzling to see his fresh face.
Yes, Dier. With him, I worry less.
In the game Etius, this was once circulated in the community.
If you could choose someone other than Aster for the main character, who would be the best?
In answer to this question, Diego is always a character on the top three fingers.
… … Well, that’s it.
“If you call me ‘sloth’ one more time, will you make me run away for the rest of my life under the rolling rod?”
“… … Yep. What is that dreadful punishment? You have a good imagination.”
Unfortunately it’s not my imagination.
* * *
Just now.
During the discussion, Diego confirmed each team’s abilities and specialties. It was then that we knew each other’s names.
“Everyone may have noticed.”
After that, Dier cautiously spoke out.
“That chair that Sloth-senpai sits on is not an ordinary thing.”
“What?”
“Probably the same substance as the black liquid that attacked Pielot.”
At Dier’s words, everyone turned to Frontier, but couldn’t.
“You fools. If you look back, you will notice.”
Roxy, a magical girl who was next to him, stopped that head shake with a simple telekinetic motion.
Dier smiled and continued talking.
“I’ve checked it over and over again, and it’s definitely there. That chair is also a limitation. As long as you maintain that chair with black liquid, you will continue to use mana, and you will not be able to use that amount of liquid.”
“… … Even with that kind of restriction, you are that strong.”
Homas, a boy who explained to Dier at first, said:
“therefore? What does it mean to know that?”
Pielot asked, still in an unpleasant tone.
Dier read that tone or for some reason, still smiled kindly and replied.
“Normally, it doesn’t make any sense. But it made sense. I don’t know if the senior himself is telling me, or if he doesn’t even know.”
Dier’s eyes narrowed even further.
“That chair is showing the direction and timing of the attack.”
“Direction and timing?”
“yes. When the senior manipulates the black liquid, the surface of that chair moves with it. Very subtle though. So I’m sure It’s the same substance.”
Everyone’s eyebrows gathered at Dier’s words. The fact that everyone but Dier didn’t notice means that the subtlety is to the extent that they are not even aware of it.
Is it possible to check the timing and direction during a fight?
“I see it in my eyes.”
However, Dier asserted.
However, the content of the remark was confident, and the expression on his face was a bitter smile.
“The problem is that the body doesn’t keep up.”
“… … then.”
“I need a signal. Not physically, but magically. Otherwise, it will be late.”
Hearing those words, the Nether, a male student from another magic family, opened his mouth.
“I do that. It’s just a matter of putting a ‘link’.”
“great. Then the Nether gives me and Pielot a link. So that Pielot can immediately detect what I notice.”
“… … me?”
Pielot asked to be surprised.
In fact, Pielot didn’t know that Diego could point to him. Whatever it is, it’s because Pielot himself was the one who had the most trouble during the discussions so far.
Dier nodded as if it was natural.
“I can’t respond with my own eyes, but you can do it.”
“… … .”
There was nothing more to say at those words, so Pielot kept her mouth shut. Dier looked around at everyone and nodded.
“Then shall we begin?”
Dier turned his head to look at Frontier.
“great! Let’s go, Sloth!”
Diego faithfully declared the start to Frontier.
“If you call me ‘sloth’ one more time, will you make me run away under the rolling rod for the rest of my life?”
“… … Yep. What is that dreadful punishment? You have a good imagination, sir.”
“In reality, it will be more terrifying than imagined.”
“Can’t we just run away from that stick? Flying or sprinting fast.”
“The setting is that it usually breathes fire from above, and swarms of man-eating fish live outside the pole.”
“Is it a setting? There is something unnecessarily sincere.”
“All hell is like that,”
A moment in between those conversations.
Shhh!
Roxy’s ice pick flew towards the key. This was not her arrogance. This was the plan from the beginning.
It was Diego who shouted the declaration of the start, but he chatted with Frontier.
Since it was Dier who led the operation meeting, of course, the psychological trap that the operation would start from him. Dier stared at it.
“Suck!”
At the same time, Homas jumps from the right. He can’t handle the Aurors yet, but his large physique and muscles approach the Frontier with explosive momentum.
Simultaneous attack of ice pick and land charge. Besides, each has a different purpose.
In addition, Dier’s technique of disturbing the timing with a simple method of ‘talking to’.
—Frondie laughed.
“It’s you, Dier.”
“… … Do you know me?”
Kaga River!
Frontier stretched out his right hand. The pieces of ice that were flying towards the key suddenly bounced off the air as if they had been hit by something.
‘It really was, an invisible attack!’
Besides, he didn’t even look at the ice cubes and hit them. what kind of accuracy
But Homas was still there. While Frontier was blocking the ice cubes, Homas came close to Frontier.
“Thank you, Drip!”
“okay.”
Aww-!
Homas’ hook that stretched toward Frontier’s abdomen was blocked by the black cloth. With a crackling, crackling sound, Homas’ fists were forcibly squeezing the black cloth open.
“It takes too long.”
Whoops!
“Ugh?!”
Frontier lightly hit Homas’s abdomen with another black cloth. It was exactly the same place Homas was trying to attack.
“I am not particularly one with Heukcheon. Don’t focus on tearing it apart. In the meantime, you give them time.”
“This, the black one, that’s what they call the Black Heaven.”
Homas continued to answer even in the midst of pain.
“But as long as I try to rip it, this black cloth is tied… … !”
hoo.
So, did you deliberately spend time on the Heukcheon knowingly? Are you prepared to get beaten up?
Homas was not wrong. A frontier who can’t get up from a chair. Therefore, in order to defend against Homas’ attack, Frontier must use a certain amount of black cloth. It’s the same thing to be concerned about.
and in the meantime.
Paah!
Roxy’s magic unfolds again. This time it was a blast. The first piece of ice released was to confirm Frontier’s invisible attack, and this time it’s real.
‘I hope to block the wind in that situation… … !’
Whatever the rule, as long as you touch the key, you succeed. The wind that simply blows will not be accepted, but the gusts created by magic will be barely safe. maybe!
It’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s unavoidable!
Whoa!
However, Roxy looked down on Black Heaven.
A black stream, flying like a stream of water, flew in front of the key. It was spread thinly like a veil rather than the hard metal it used to be.
The veil of Black Heaven completely embraced Roxy’s gusts. Then it fell down and canceled the gusts.
“… … Foul.”
“It’s ridiculous,” said Roxy.
“In other words, you did it.”
Thinking of getting accepted by waving the key in the wind. No matter how much the frontier was, it was an expedient worth considering.
But the operation was not over. Homas is still pushing his fists through Frontier’s front, and this time Pielot rushes under Roxy’s attack.
The black sky that flies again this time, however.
‘left!’
Pielot evaded. Frontier’s forehead narrowed. Although he was aiming for a rather small range, he felt a strange feeling in Pielot’s current movement.
To check again, Frontier launched an attack.
A black stream that flies in various directions. Pielot skillfully dodged all of them, and barely lost any speed.
‘… … I’m moving before my attack starts.’
Upon seeing that, Frontier’s head turned rapidly. Dier, who has not yet launched an attack, and another male student.
‘Right. Dier is watching my attack instead of Pielot. A male student is doing the assistant.’
Frontier still didn’t know how Dier had foreseen his attack.
In fact, it was a weakness that would not exist even if the chair had not been made of black cloth, and even if the opponent was not Dier.
However, knowing what kind of person Diego is, Frontier does not know the principle, but knows who did it.
‘Are you pre-reading my attacks with your moving eyesight? I wonder if I have a strange habit when attacking with a black cloth? I’ll have to check it out next time.’
It was a frontier that didn’t really help.
Pielot had reached the frontier’s front. Now, Homas continues to keep Frontier in check, and Roxy is preparing for the next attack.
If he moved with Roxy at the right time, his victory was rich.
Pielot is the only one who can use Aurors. An auror that manifests properly makes the volume of the sword longer and can reach the key without jumping.
Frontier still doesn’t know which side Pielot is aiming for. Will you aim for the key, or will you aim for yourself?
However, Pielot was able to attack both Frontier and Key at the same time with his sword. This was a fact everyone knew from the previous operation meeting.
‘Here, you can aim for the key and the senior at the same time with a simultaneous attack!’
If Frontier tries to protect the key, he will get hurt, and if he thinks about his own safety, Pielot’s attack hits the key. Theoretically perfect.
… … ‘ thought Homas. Of course, that was the job. Everyone looked at Pielot with that thought.
However, Pielot was still stubborn.
‘This time!’
Pielot’s eyes lit up and ran towards Frontier. He didn’t even care about the key. There was nothing in sight because of the wrath he had suffered from the previous Frontier.
The eyes of those who watched it widened.
Everyone shouted a similar scream to themselves.
‘That bastard child!!’
Pielot’s sword flew towards Frontier. A smirk lingered in Frontier’s eyes.
Ignoring the key and aiming for itself. No matter how you look at it up to that point, the sword’s trajectory was too honest.
If it’s enough to give up the benefits of getting the key, shouldn’t you be thinking about that number and attacking? But now, what is contained in Pielot’s attack is just a simple error.
Frontier intended to counter most attacks with a black cloth, but this time it was different.
I’ll have to take that sword out of the fall and break it. That’s the only way to get Pielot to come to his senses.
Frontier’s cloned sword touched Pielot’s sword.
Moment.
“──I thought you would.”
“Khehe!”
Pielot, who was in front of Frontier, suddenly dropped his head forward. There was a foot above his head.
It was Dier. He stomped on Pielot’s head.
“… … Dier… … .”
Frontier mumbles softly.
Leaving it behind, Dier jumped off Pielot’s head.
wow!
Dier grabbed the key and landed.
In a test where just touching it was a condition, it was more than enough.
He had one more talent besides his amazing visual acuity.
To completely hide one’s presence, including mana and aura. He didn’t take it too seriously, but it was one of the abilities that all gamers envy.
Frontier himself feels the value of ‘hiding’ a lot, so he hides his hand in many situations.
While Frontier concentrates on the other attacks, he hides himself behind Pielot’s back and disappears from Frontier’s sight. A leap that suddenly appears there.
Dier thought.
‘Senior Sloth had a strong desire to teach Pierrot.’
Watching the fight with Pielot, I felt it for sure.
‘So if Pielot does something stupid again, I won’t leave him alone. I can’t.’
Dier clenched the hand with the key and looked at Frontier.
“… … senior.”
Dier summoned Frontier and spoke the question he had been thinking about from the beginning to the present in this test.
“Are the seniors at the next level really stronger than the seniors?”
Frontier had a strange feeling.
Frontier, who fell into the game and lived as a complete outsider in this world.
For him, Dier was perhaps the person who most resembled him here.
