8. Joint Combat Test (5)
8. Joint Combat Test (5)
Silver bobbed hair down to her shoulders, red eyes. Underneath it, a long muffler was worn, covering the lower part of the eyes. The outfit is Arisha Academy’s school uniform, but the shoes are wearing large walkers, and only the right hand holding the dagger is wearing gloves.
Irina Blood. Her red eyes stare straight at me, and she glistens with joy at finding her prey.
“Brother, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
“Irina… “
The word Irina spat out about her older brother seems to have piqued Lerisha’s interest. She was Lerry Sha who became interested, but her hand holding her sword did not relax. Irina is clearly hostile to me, and Irina, a first-year student, attacking me, her second-year student, means that Lelisha will also be able to step out without any restrictions.
“Two, two parties are not good. Ooh, we have to retreat first. Are you listening, Ren?”
“…… “
Ren was staring straight at Slop Arogas. She seems to have a grudge against being attacked.
“Ren? Ah! Really! Hwa, princess, what should I do in a situation like this… “
“… Don’t forget that the party leader is Rin. As party members, we are only following your choice, Rin.”
“Well, then… Also retreat-“
Before Rin finishes her words, Irina scatters tacks on our retreat. If someone else sees him doing that at a party with the princess, they’ll think he’s crazy. In fact, Irina is also insane. It’s hard for her to notice Larisha von Meloyer.
Slop, who had a strong sense of humor, must have heard from the senior next to him that our party was Princess Lerisha’s party, and his face turned pale. The other side is a very muscular brain, so it tends to think only in a straight line. Since it is a joint battle, isn’t it a natural test to fight? So even though there was no big problem if they attacked the princess’s party, Slop’s complexion was pale.
Then, Irina took a step towards me and opened her mouth.
“Brother, I don’t think so, but you’re not trying to run away, are you?”
“Irina… “
I let out a sigh and took her one step closer to her.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”
“There is no misunderstanding.”
“No, you are definitely thinking wrong.”
“…… “
I took out the dagger from the scabbard wrapped around my waist and held it. This dagger, like the dagger Irina is holding, is the blood family’s dagger. As Irina sees me gripping her dagger, her eyes widen for a moment.
“Right now we are fighting a joint battle. I’m just a party member who carries out missions according to the party leader’s words. Escape? That is an illusion.”
“… What?”
“How long are you going to keep fooling around?”
At my provocation, Irina begins to tremble. I knew at once that it was a trembling of anger. Even so, the reason why I do not refute my words is that there is nothing wrong with what I said.
I realized one thing after watching Irina. It’s not enough to simply avoid her. Perhaps I need to dampen her spirits in her Irina in order to make her academy life easier.
‘Do you use that? Or are you obsessed with Princess Lelisha?’
I was thinking about what to do next turn. Irina intends to do it completely. Maybe they tried to immerse me under the guise of an accident. I’m sorry for Irina, but since I’m a late character from , She sees through my sister’s weaknesses.
If the blade is pointed at me. Irina Blood, you too will suffer irreparable wounds.
“Am I going to get hurt?”
“…… “
Unbeknownst to me, I put the last thought in my mouth. At that moment, the cry of Slop Arogas was heard. Seeing that he suddenly became confident, it seems that he consulted with the party members and concluded that it was not rude to attack Lerisha’s party just now.
“You there! Silver-haired kid! I marked this party first, so get out of here! You don’t speak twice.”
“…… “
Srop gestured at Irina and said so. I became very interested in events that do not appear in the game. This situation is even more interesting because I know what kind of relationship Slop and Irina are in the original work.
“I will retreat at this gap. Hey! Ren, retreat!”
“Oh, okay. Chet”
According to Rin’s judgment, she sneakily tried to pull her foot out. But she couldn’t get past the best retreat because of the pushpin Irina had planted, so if she wanted to retreat, Irina, or she would have to skim Slop’s party.
From my point of view, this judgment seems irrational. Lerisha also looks frustrated as if she felt it. However, she is also a test to verify the abilities of first-year students, so she just silently obeys Rin’s words.
From noble mtl dot com
“Brother Woros, you must be really tired. No matter how much it is a test, to follow the words of a party leader with such incompetence.”
“… !”
At Irina’s words, her Rin shook her shoulders.
“What are you saying now?”
“I said I was a party leader with no ability. If I go on a mission with an incompetent leader like you… Extermination is certain.”
Rin gritted her teeth and flirted with Irina. It’s really embarrassing to be in the exact opposite situation from the original. In the original story, if Rin is selected, Slop and her rival Flag are created, and if Ren is selected, Irina and Flag are created. However, the current situation is twisted in the opposite way.
I want to support the main character, but right now Irina is right. To retreat, you had to pass by the enemy party, but the enemy couldn’t see it. Lerisha could say a word in a situation like this, but she just kept her silence.
So I had no choice but to go ahead.
“Rin, let me give you one piece of advice.”
“Woros senior.”
“The current situation is that the three parties are stuck. That’s why those two parties won’t attack us right away. Got it? The thing that benefits the most will be the party you endured until the end.”
“Yes… “
I tapped Rin on the shoulder.
“This means that there is no need to show any gaps. And just in case Will there be someone in the party who has the ability to clear a safe escape route in this situation?”
“…… “
“Don’t think within your own strength, read the situation as a whole. Think about the abilities of your party members as well.”
“The ability of your party members… All right.”
After encouraging Rin like that, I returned to her seat. For some reason, Lerry Shah was nodding her head. Then she turns her head as I make eye contact with her. At the same time, I reached into her pocket to prepare a smoke grenade.
“… I can’t possibly watch it Brother.”
Irina raised her dagger and aimed at me, as if her patience had reached its limit. Lack of patience is still a part of the game and here. Irina’s dagger aimed at me is filled with mana and begins to glow.
It started the blood type assassination technique. In response to Irina’s actions, her party members also prepared for battle. At the same time, the slope shouts as if it is frustrating.
“Hey silver hair! This party obviously said we picked it up first!”
“… Didn’t you say you wouldn’t say it twice?”
Quick. Slop looks at Irina and starts grinding his teeth. His anger is both a crisis and an opportunity. I put the smoke grenade back in her pocket and whispered to Rin.
“If those two parties start to stick together, I’ll just slowly pull them away.”
“Yes? But that simply… “
“No, it works. Trust me.”
I said that while looking sideways at the slope. Slop Arogas. Title King of Destruction. In fact, he is a person who can never become a first-class wizard with his magical powers and magical knowledge. However, if you ask game players to pick the strongest mage, the name of the final grown Slop Arogas is always mentioned.
Now this world is a dangerous world where monsters appear. Therefore, how efficiently and powerful monsters can be subdued became an indicator of a wizard’s ability. Slop Arogas is incredibly genius at that.
In terms of stats, his stats are comparable to that of a Melguard class warrior rather than a wizard. Even though he is a wizard, the range of skills he learns is extremely narrow. Even when other mage characters go beyond the low level and use the tech of intermediate and advanced skills, the slope always lags behind them.
Nevertheless, many players frequently use the slope as a fixed one. The reason is the superior durability that is similar to that of a warrior while being a wizard. Because of his unique skill.
A simple skill that fills up the rage gauge whenever you or an ally are attacked. When the rage gauge is full, all skills are strengthened for 3 turns. Aka 3 turn man.
Slope gets the title of King of Destruction with this skill.
“You… What did you say now?”
“Why do you want to hear it again? Tell me again It seems that the body is not the only one with muscles. Maybe even a head… “
“This… this… Jesse….”
“Rin, now.”
At my signal, Rin orders her retreat. At the same time we ran towards the party on the slope. Slop Arogas is no longer looking at us. In his eyes, only Irina Blood could be seen. He starts to rush at Irina despite the party members’ dissuade.
Bang!
Because of the land splitting magic enhanced by the Rage skill, a huge amount of dust could be seen rising. Rin, who was running with tremendous power, lost her balance and fell.
Irina would have a hard time dealing with the slope that entered the 3rd turn male mode. After escaping safely, we braced ourselves for a tree to catch our breath. In the meantime, Lerisha and Ren, who continued to train, were calm and breathless.
“Rin, that was a good decision.”
“Thank you. Princess”
“And Woros Blood. A little bit of you… I saw it again. I apologize here. Actually, I didn’t come out because I wanted to see your strength.”
“… It’s okay.”
I caught my breath and sheathed the dagger I was holding. Our party’s score now is 48 points. It was enough to subdue one or two goblins and reach the goal post. According to the original story, Rin and Len. Neither of them is very greedy for scores, so the end is near.
“I said slope arogas… “
When we are heading for the goal after scoring points, Ren speaks to himself like that. In the game, Ren and Slop become best friends. It should be. Calling each other partners and overcoming various trials. The ordeal also included the subjugation of the Blood family, so I didn’t want Ren to be hostile to Srop.
With 56 points, we arrived at the goalpost, the Melgard Class Indoor Training Center, and returned the magic sphere. It seems that Slop and Irina’s party, which had been fighting fiercely, also stopped fighting and scored a goal. This was evident because the scores were displayed in rank order on the blackboard that was updated in real time.
Note: A (Arisha), M (Melgard), S (Shaiza)

….
I couldn’t help but feel sentimental when I saw the names listed on the ranking board.
The King of Destruction Slop Arogath. Shadow Reaper Irina Blood. Fairy Knight Sotia Sonia. Eldenia, the searching saint. The eccentric researcher Nishia von Orisha. The sadistic wizard Remy Mikaret.
As a fan of , My heart couldn’t help beating when I put together the names of the top and bottom ranks of each class who would be given the title as soon as the joint battle was over.
Rin and Len next to me are also staring blankly at the blackboard. I don’t know which of these two is the true protagonist, but one of these two will surpass them and become a hero recognized by everyone.
“Thank you for your hard work. Rin and Len can stay here, and Blaine senior and Warross Blood can go back.”
“You worked hard, Princess. It was an honor to call you. And Woros Blood. You know, I was surprised that he was a pretty good guy. See you again.”
“Yes”
“Thank you for your hard work. Seniors”
Blaine bowed her head to Lerry Shah and left the training ground. I was troubled here. Soon, a real monster will be summoned and an event will occur in which this indoor training ground is attacked. I had to think about whether I would choose to stay here and acquire the loot, or give up the loot and go back.
“Waros Blood. Aren’t you going to die?”
That was Larisha’s question. Whether to go back to the greenhouse and have a safe research time, or take a risk and get loot, it’s really a challenge. I had to get my hands on the items that were dropped in this event so I could quickly raise my magic gardening tech. One of the reasons I actually participated in the joint battle was because of the loot I could get from this event.
What I’m worried about is that there will be changes in the story that I don’t even know about. The fact that Rin and Ren actually exist, and that Slop and Irina’s party were intertwined at the same time. It’s all content that wasn’t in the original. No one knows what kind of crazy accident they might get into.
“…… “
After coming this far, I organized my thoughts in the direction of trying to finish it, and after lowering my head to Lerisha, I spoke.
“Since it came out, I plan to stay there until the end.”
Lerry Sha opened her mouth wide in disbelief at my words.
