Bayon knew that Rigon was only trying to win the match with only his sword, even though he was still able to press down with enough force. Even he didn’t seem to be doing his best.
In this way, the result was obvious.
Bayon clenched his teeth and condensed magical power into the blade.
Winning or losing is good. I wanted to bump into this guy with all my might.
“···········?”
Seeing the fluttering blade of Bayon’s blade, Rigon stepped back. The students watching were also murmuring.
The swords used by first-year freshmen only by knights, for ordinary students, it was a far-fetched task.
Rigon looked towards Professor Gaon standing.
I saw it to see if it was okay to even use the sword, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping the fight.
‘You also use your sword, Rigon!’
Bayon swung a sword covered in sword. If you block the sword with an ordinary sword, it will break.
However, Rigon did not use his sword. However, he did not dodge the attack.
The moment the two blades touched, Rigon tilted the blades and let Bayon’s sword flow smoothly.
Bayon’s sword slammed into the floor in vain, while Rygon’s sword touched his neck.
“Oh, it’s a shame. Is it half-successful?”
I looked at Bayon’s Rigon’s sword, who was mesmerized by Rigon’s murmur.
The blade’s teeth were smashed and cracked as to whether the flow was not complete.
“her······.”
Professor Gaon, who had his hand on the hilt of the sword, also looked at Rigon with an absurd look.
When Lygon tried to block Bayon’s attack from the front, she was startled and tried to step out.
No matter what it is, you’re trying to shed a sword covered in swords with a bare sword. Even made it happen again.
If it had been a more durable sword rather than a temporary sword for training, the sword would have been fine.
‘He’s an absurd guy.’
Professor Gaon declared with a laugh.
“The battle is over. Rigon’s victory.”
“Professor, but the sword is on the verge of breaking…”
“Don’t worry about it, because the students are not responsible for any accidents in Dalian.”
Lee Gon, who had always wanted to ask himself, breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
Before returning to his seat, Bayon asked Rigon.
“Why didn’t you use the sword to block it?”
“yes?”
“Your skills could overwhelm me. Do you want to insult me?”
Lygon tilted his head to the side.
“What are you talking about, that’s. I was just trying it out because I thought I could do it.”
“Did you forget that the results of Dalian are included in your test scores? Did you gamble just for that reason?”
“I don’t really care about grades? I had a lot of fun competing with you. That’s all.”
At those words, Bayon stared intently at Rygon, then approached and held out his hand.
“It’s Bion Lexio.”
“Uh, I know…”
“I know your name, Lygon.”
Rigon thought he was an unusual guy and shook his hand.
***
After class in the morning, when I headed to the dining room, I found Lee Gon with someone.
Somehow, with a familiar face and huge size, I could quickly recall who the opponent was.
‘It must have been the freshman representative….’
I’ve never seen Lee Gon hanging out with other friends.
Kaan and Escar also looked at them curiously.
“What’s that size? You look like a student in a school uniform, right?”
Lygon found us and waved his hand.
“Who is this, Lygon?”
“My classmate. You said you want to have lunch together, don’t you mind?”
“Oh,” Ka-Ann exclaimed.
“Of course it doesn’t matter. Rather, did Rigon finally have a friend?”
The boy looked around us and opened his mouth.
“This is Bayon Lexio. Are you all students of the Faculty of Magic?”
“That’s right.”
“Unexpected.”
It must be surprising that all of my friends from the School of Swordsmanship are students of the School of Magic.
Anyway, that’s how a new person was added to the dinner table.
We sat down to eat and chatted with Bayon.
“······ So I lost to Lee Gon. I thought it would be a good target, so I wanted to get to know Lee Gon.”
“Huh, that’s right. But aren’t you shy about Rigon? You don’t know that Rigon is from Calderic, do you?”
“What does it matter from where you are? That’s fine.”
“Thank you, but you know that my classmates avoid me? If you hang out with me, I can avoid you too, Bayon.”
Bayon blinked at him.
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t even have any other friends. Except for Leegon, they’re all just idiots.”
At that, Karen burst into laughter.
“Hey, I like you. Let’s be friendly from now on.”
As we talked like that, all of a sudden everyone’s eyes turned to one side.
On the other side of the dining room, some students were making a fuss, and among them a familiar face appeared. It was Leah.
“Hey, aren’t you going to apologize? You got all your clothes on!”
The person who was arguing with Leia wasn’t a freshman, but a senior.
I pretended to be passing by and bumped into it, and food splattered on my clothes.
She showed no sign of indifference to the two upperclassmen.
“I stayed still, and it was the seniors who bumped into me. Is there any reason for me to apologize?”
“But this lack of cheapness is really….”
The classmates couldn’t say anything more at her cold gaze, spit out a few more swear words and then backed off.
The students around them chatted as they watched the scene.
“Isn’t he a freshman? Why are the 3rd graders turning away because they’re so scared?”
“You don’t know who she is? It’s Leah Heriwin.”
Escar quietly asked Bayon.
“Hey, Bayon. You’re the freshman representative of the Swordsmanship Faculty, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Then do you know Leah as well? You stood on the pulpit together at the entrance ceremony.”
“We know each other. There are exchanges between families. But we’re not particularly close.”
Bayon added the latter.
“That guy is also my goal. He’s the only one who lost to an opponent of the same age other than Lee Gon.”
Caran intervened with a hint of interest.
“Yeah? He’s in the same class as us. He seems to be strong in class.”
“I will.”
While we ate, we talked about such nonsensical topics.
I thought we would only get along with the four of us throughout our academy life, but it seems that there will be one more member.
Lessons and adaptation (5)
Monster Quest, as the name suggests, was a class to learn about monsters.
It could be said that learning the characteristics, habits, and weaknesses of monsters, and how to defeat them.
Previous classes were taught only in theory in the classroom, but the professor in charge foretold that today is practice.
Following the guidance of the assistant professor, they moved to a large communal space located in the basement of the main building.
“Something is eerie. Isn’t that a monster popping out of nowhere?”
“Uh, maybe.”
As Ka-Ann looked around and muttered, Escar flinched as if anxious.
It was definitely a gloomy atmosphere for a class place, so the other students seemed nervous as well.
He already knew about Elphon’s underground space.
I heard that this is a place to conduct research that is dangerous or difficult to do in an open space on the ground.
For example, biological experiments on monsters, or taming magic.
That was the reason why today’s monster exploration class was held in this place.
I’ve seen giant wagons that trap monsters come into the academy a few times, but it seems like they’re all locked up in the basement here.
Soon the professor arrived.
“Then let’s move on? It’s the first practice, and today feels like a field trip, so don’t be too nervous.”
Following the guidance of the professor, I walked down the long underground corridor.
As soon as he passed through the gate with a magical barrier, a space like a dungeon appeared where the prisoners were confined.
When the students saw the monster trapped behind the iron bars, they burst out in small laughter.
‘Is it a goblin?’
The first monster I saw was a goblin. One of the most common and weak monsters.
The professor apologized to the guard and allowed the students to see the monster up close.
Did you mean tour? It’s like visiting a zoo.
“Wow, that’s really, really ugly.”
“Look at that guy over there. He’s banging his head alone in the corner?”
Whoa!
At that time, some goblins rushed into the cage with shouts and bumped into them.
A few students who had been watching, giggled, were startled and withdrew from the cage.
The rushing goblin pointed a finger at the surprised students and giggled as if teasingly.
The professor said looking at the students whose faces were red.
“Goblins are weak, but they are clever, so they can provoke and play tricks on people. Did I say? No matter how weak a monster is, you shouldn’t be vigilant. If you meet a goblin in the wild, you should not be swayed by emotions and always keep your cool.”
Quick!
The goblins were startled by the spark that occurred around the cage and ran back to the corner.
The professor withdrew his hand and moved the students to the next area.
Among the monsters I came across, there were some monsters I learned in theory class, and some that weren’t.
I glanced at Car-Ann, who was walking nearby.
Unlike other students, she was surprisingly bored watching monsters.
If it was a monster in the mountain range where he originally lived, it might be because he ran into it until he got tired of it.
The place that slowly reached the end of the class was a huge gateway compared to the gates we had passed so far.
“I’m going to see the last monster here and finish the class.”
Considering that the magical barrier’s magical power was unusually strong, I wondered if quite strong monsters were trapped.
And that expectation was correct.
【Lv. 46]
Grrr.
Beyond the iron bars, a red eye beam that gleams eerily in the dark.
A huge humanoid monster reminiscent of a giant.
‘Is it koite?’
When I saw his characteristic gray skin, I immediately recognized its identity.
I could see some students trembling at the life it exuded.
The wildness of monsters is different from normal beasts.
There was no way the students were used to living like this, so no matter how helpless the monsters were, they could only withdraw.
“This is the ‘Kyot’, the monster we talked about briefly in the last class. It is also called the wizard hunter by this name.”
Kwyt, wizard hunter.
The reason he was called a wizard hunter was because of his unusually high magic resistance.
Did you say that wizards of any level can’t even give a small scratch to him?
‘Anyway, it’s a level 40 monster.’
By the way, Elphon captures even such a big guy and uses it as a test object. I thought it was kinda
Then the professor smiled strangely and said a sudden story.
“Isn’t it a pity for everyone to end the practice like this? Let’s play one last fun game?”
······game?
“As I explained, the koite is a monster called a wizard hunter, so it has great resistance to magic. Is there any student who is confident enough to inflict damage on this koite? Let me give you grades, regardless of the semester exams and the remaining classes.”
The students murmured at the shocking remark.
The monster exploration class was now only the third class. But are you going to give me the highest grade right away?
Chunkyung.
The professor opened the iron cage door and said.
“Is there any student you want to challenge? I’ll give you one chance. For the student who wants to take the challenge, go inside the cage and unleash your magic on Kuyt.”
But no one was willing to come forward.
No matter how constrained the monster was, if another dangerous situation occurred, the professor would come out, but it was not easy to dare to use attack magic from the front against such a monster.
“Would you like to try it?”
Of course, Karen was an exception.
As he scratched his chin and murmured, there was no sense of tension or fear.
If no other applicants came out, I thought she would come forward…
“Yes, I will.”
An unexpected person raised his hand before him.
Ka-Ann looked back at Escar with a look of surprise. It was Escar who raised his hand.
I thought Escar wasn’t the type to be active in this kind of thing. Are you so greedy for A+ grades?
“Hey, Escar. Isn’t that overkill?”
Hmmm
