139 – The place trembles in front of Mother Nature
— Woo!
My tinnitus rang as if my head was spinning.
Dizziness as if entering a portal.
This is a typical side effect of teleportation magic.
Ian’s senses awakened one by one belatedly.
The first thing you feel is the sense of smell.
It smells of water, moss, trees, and moist earth. As the rest of my senses recovered, I could see the surrounding scenery.
“…….”
The whole world is green.
Looking ahead, you will see grass and various plants.
Looking up, there are plenty of leaves.
When I looked down, I saw moist, high-quality soil gently supporting the weight.
Tall trees, birds flying around.
Tweet-
He says and chatters.
“Hmm—”
Ian took a deep breath without realizing it.
It was such perfect Mother Nature.
Of course, Ian was not originally the type to be infatuated with nature.
Just.
“The mana of the earth is reacting.”
It was because the mana of the earth element in response to nature lifted Ian’s mood.
The mana of the earth element filled my body, jumping up and down with excitement as if I had returned to my hometown.
Bottoms suddenly pulled tight.
“Why are you doing this?”
Ian sat cross-legged on her floor.
At this level, it was necessary to calm down her mana.
‘… Did it really turn?’
The feeling of eerieness and fear towards oneself.
Of course, Ian was not the type of pervert who lusted after nature.
It’s just that the flow of mana was so lively that it also affected the body.
The feeling of being full of mana was great, but if she did it wrong, there was a risk that she would go out of her control and run wild.
Ian calmed down her mana through her quick danjeon breathing.
Only then did the mana that had been running rampant inside the body gather in the Danjeon again.
Earth attribute mana that has always been collected with purity as the top priority.
When I looked again, I saw that there was one large bottle of bottled water gathered there.
“… If we do well, we can expand further from here?”
Is this the taste of Mother Nature?
Ian got up with a grin and looked around.
A crocodile-shaped rock seen in the distance.
It is said to be a crocodile, but to be exact, it has the appearance of an oriental dragon.
The official name in the game is ‘Dragon Rock’.
The locations and strategies were stored in Ian’s head in quite detail.
Because it was one of the few places in Panta
“… It’s quite far.”
The distance is quite a bit longer than I thought.
It appears to have fallen at the end of the designated area.
Ian walked busily.
— Keeng!
While hunting animals and monsters that can be used as food.
In the early days of Bing, money was tight.
Since protein sources were often obtained through hunting, there were no major difficulties.
In addition, he is an awakener of the earth element.
For Ian, this place was no different from her talented hometown.

Ian has adapted well to nature.
Unlike him, the condition of the remaining cadets was serious.
“Aaaaah! It’s an insect with hair!!”
On the other hand, there are cadets who are scared when they see bugs like caterpillars.
“I thought it would be a resort because it is an island… But there is an island like this in the world. It is truly filthy.”
“Now, I want to sit down for a moment. This tree is at least clean… What is this? There’s something like a strange slime on my clothes…!”
There were many children who could not adapt to the wild island.
The reason is simple.
Most of the cadets at the Liechten Academy were children of high-ranking nobles or bourgeoisie.
It was not easy for them to deal with the ‘real nature’ that was suddenly given to them who lived in the imperial capital or large cities.
Of course, the academy gave cadets a variety of experiences through sparring and practical training.
Children who accepted the experience with an open mind were able to adapt flexibly.
“Aaaaah! Bugs!”
For the children in the greenhouse who could not do that, it was no different from hell.
Meanwhile.
Behind the big tree.
Elena burst out laughing as she looked at the confused cadets.
“Kkkkk. It seems like everyone is more scared than we thought.”
Elena is a priest of the Numina sect.
She has no money.
It means that she is close to nature.
— Misleading!
Chewing on a handful of wild fruit, Elena looked around her.
“I need to go to a slightly higher place.”
Because I was short, my view was not clear.
Nevertheless, Elena moved while hiding her body.
For some reason, there were many of her cadets in the place where she fell.
If she went out into the open, there was a high risk of being exposed to attack.
From Noble mtl dot com
“… Is it over there?”
It is definitely a rock that looks like a crocodile.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem very far.
If you walk hard enough, it’s about 30 minutes away?
Elena pulled out her long sleeves and long pants from her backpack, put them on, and made her way quickly through the bushes.
In the meantime.
— … Stop there. If you have anything, give it away.
The sound of muttering words came from the clearing beyond the trees.
“… What is it?”
Elena looked carefully toward the clearing from behind the tree.
Three male cadets were surrounding a female cadet.
‘… That’s bad!’
Elena, who is essentially a good priest, was angry.
She was too scared to go out to rescue her.
But wait a minute.
Isn’t that Sharon Pierce?
While Elena was on her tiptoes, the conflict was intensifying.
“… Why are you blocking the road?”
One of the men sarcastically responded to Sharon’s recitation.
“Are you going to block the road? Tsk tsk tsk.”
“This bitch, it looks like she still knows what’s going on.”
Two men laughing.
A person with a slightly reluctant expression stopped me.
“Use it. Anyway, he’s the best in the swordsmanship club. Wouldn’t it be better to let him go?”
“This guy was scared.”
“Why are you so scared? I’m saying let’s think strategically.”
“Hey. Didn’t you see this bitch at the grade measurement ceremony? She’s just a toothless tiger.”
“Still…”
“Just looking at it, it’s not in good shape. In times like this, we need to secure a supply of coins. Can you still say you’re in the top ranks of the reconnaissance club?”
Sharon tried to pass by them with a blank expression.
That moment.
“Hey. Why are you just pretending not to see me and passing by?”
“Just like the rumors say, she seems like a funny bitch because she looks just like her father.”
Information related to the authority of the empire is controlled. A representative example was the news that the Grand Duke of the North was a Shale believer. It only circulates as a rumor.
Of course, just saying such a rumor is an overwhelming insult.
Wiggle.
Sharon’s eyebrows moved slightly.
But it wasn’t because of an insult to himself.
Because I couldn’t stand the delay.
You have to move as quickly as possible.
If it’s to help him.
“The road is busy. Get out of the way.”
“It’s okay to pretend to be strong even though you don’t have much stamina.”
The male cadets laughed at Sharon’s words.
According to her original personality, she should have already lost her sword.
But even though Sharon gritted her teeth, she opened her mouth once more.
“I don’t really want to lose my strength here. Get out of the way. I don’t want to make any more enemies.”
Continuous despair and pain. Sharon is the one who keeps her feet on the ground despite the devastation.
She says she needs to get better.
Based on that person’s standards.
However.
“Wow. Our Sharon is very discouraged? I guess it’s real. It’s creepy? Kkekekeke.”
In the eyes of others, she only appears to have weakened.
“Don’t you look cute like this? It’s like you defeated a strong bitch.”
“You crazy bastard. You should be expelled from school.”
“What are you talking about, what am I going to do? That’s just the way it is.”
Constant insults.
But Sharon ultimately wielded her sword for a different reason.
“I guess the rumor that there’s something going on with that young female bird is true.”
“Ah. Ian Black Angus? They’re playing together.”
“When Victor hunts that baby, I have something to hold.
— Push shoo shoo!
The blood of the three men was extraordinary.
The scent of blood was not excessive.
Because the bracelets on their arms worked.
[Agelon Cadet eliminated! [Emergency protection system operation]
[ Cadet Agnef is eliminated! [Emergency protection system operation]
[ Cadet Dave eliminated! [Emergency protection system operation]
A red pillar of light rises above the three fallen cadets.
They fell to the floor as if dead and just groaned.
“Wow…”
An exclamation of exclamation came out of Elena’s mouth as she watched the scene.
“…Hmph!”
I hurriedly tried to cover her mouth.
Sharon slowly turned to face Elena.
Beyond the expressionless expression, dry eyes like an inanimate object.
A few drops of blood splattered on my pure white cheek.
“Hey!”
Elena ran and ran away without even looking back.
◆
Meanwhile.
Two huge ships anchored on one side of the island.
All the professors who led the cadets were gathered on one of the ships.
This is the so-called central control room that monitors the promotion battle.
The images of the cadets were being displayed beyond numerous crystal balls and screens.
And the summarized figures that float at the top.
[ 1931 / 1987 ]
“It hasn’t even been 10 minutes since the competition started, and about 40 people have already been eliminated.”
Beyond the mumbling professor, there was also a professor who was getting dressed while grumbling.
“I can’t believe three people are eliminated at once. You idiots!”
It is also the role of the professors to weed out the dropped cadets. Although the professors were responding flexibly by using the duty system, it was inevitable that it would become more bothersome as the cadets in their charge were eliminated.
Of course, the head professors in charge of first-year students in each major, the so-called ‘dean of the year,’ were the exception to the annoyance.
The role of grade deans is to understand the overall flow of cadets.
“As expected, Emilia Raymond of the Ether class is taking the lead. She is overwhelming.”
Professor Rowen of the Reconnaissance Department, the most observant of them all, muttered.
dunno what those 3 idiots where thinking when attacking a renowned swordsman
