Episode 40 – I haven’t been idle all this time either.
40. I haven’t been playing around all this time either.
“””······.”””
Silence.
Everyone watching Class A’s test was locked in deep silence.
People tend to be speechless when they are too shocked.
Until Leon wiped out a group of goblins in an eclipse.
The audience watching was impressed but not overly surprised.
Elprime is a place where some of the continent’s greatest geniuses gather.
Among them, there are always special beings.
Of course, there has not yet been a cadet who completed the stage in 3 seconds like Leon.
There were several cadets who showed similar inaction.
So, until then, I had only paid attention to the name Leon Crusip.
······Until he suddenly throws the cadets away like a slingshot.
“Well, isn’t that what they do?”
A young instructor muttered absentmindedly.
As he said, stage 2 was not originally designed to be passed like that.
As you can see just by looking at it.
Originally, the method was to cross by stepping on buoys on the river.
If even one person steps on a buoy, it will not float away and will remain in place.
And it has a structure that sinks when more than a certain number of people go up.
Like building stepping stones, we help each other pave the way for each other.
It was a stage that focused on cooperation and teamwork among cadets.
At the time of design, the instructors intended it to do so.
The four peninsulas we have passed so far have passed exactly as intended.
– Ready, fire!
– Yiaaap!
······No one would have thought that they would cross the river in such an ignorant way.
“Ha, hahahaha!”
A high-pitched, strange sound of laughter pierced the silence.
“Ah~ It’s fun.”
What’s so funny?
Hera was giggling, even wiping away the tears that were leaking out.
As if that was a signal, people who had recovered from the shock began to speak one by one.
“Anyway, it’s not cheating, is it?”
“······That’s true.”
“It looks like you have practiced in advance for situations like this.”
“I guess that’s what Prince Crusip ordered.”
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t we give extra points?”
“Definitely…”
Surprisingly, public opinion was okay.
Uniquely solving a given situation is something that should be highly praised.
This is because it is not easy to practice in the first place to be able to shoot people beyond 20 meters.
I don’t know if it’s a subtle method.
Because it was pierced purely physically.
“Well, let’s just keep looking.”
“I wonder how we will solve the remaining steps.”
Meanwhile.
In the midst of her fuss, Hera was licking her lips for a long time with her tongue.
“Huh…”
Her gaze caught up with Leon, who, after throwing away all of her cadets, crossed her river in two leaps.
Madness and obsession.
A dangerous shine flickered in her inorganic eyes.

Paaat!
This is already the third move.
It was stage 3.
“Hmm…”
Floor made of smooth stone tiles.
High railings surrounding the four walls and a dome-shaped ceiling.
It was a circular stadium about 50 meters in diameter.
[This is the 3rd stage of Lilvgeus breakthrough.]
[Kill all enemies.]
[Evaluation will begin in 30 seconds. 30, 29······.]
Defeat the enemy.
As expected, as soon as I looked around, I could immediately understand what the enemy was talking about.
At the end of the stadium.
A huge golem that appears to be about 6 meters tall, located to the north, south, east and west.
It is a humanoid with two legs and arms.
He is wearing full plate armor that covers his entire body.
In each hand was a large mace, a large sword, a spear, and a hammer appropriate for his size.
He was still sleeping as still as a statue, but it seemed clear that he would wake up as soon as the evaluation began.
“Guys, number 2 first.”
Leon opened his mouth again and softly gave instructions to the cadets.
The cadets nodded and adjusted their formation.
It was a circle formed with backs to each other, centered in the center.
[3, 2, 1······.]
[Start!]
As soon as the seconds run out.
Gooooo!
The golems woke up with their eyes shining through their T-shaped grooved helmets.
When they got up, dirt and stone debris fell.
The guys stood up completely and raised their weapons.
Thump, thump! Thump thump thump!
He started charging towards the cadets gathered in the middle.
I wonder how much it weighs.
The earth shook with every step I took.
The creaky movements gradually became more natural, showing agile movements despite their large bodies.
Whoa!
Soon, the golems arrived within a stone’s throw of the cadets and raised their weapons.
The moment when a heavy attack that will crush the weak humans is about to strike.
“Open!”
Pabababat!
At Leon’s signal, the cadets scattered in all directions like grains of sand.
Kugugu Goong!
Four weapons crossed where the cadets were standing, and the stone floor shattered into spider web shapes.
Leon began to play with his tongue.
“It seems like the red gem in the very center of the chest is its weak point! Aim for that!”
It doesn’t seem like it’s a weakness, it’s actually a weakness.
If you look closely at them, you can see that mana is flowing towards the jewel in the center.
If it were someone else, it would have taken a long time to realize this.
Leon just recited what he already knew.
“””······!”””
The cadets rushed at the golems with their eyes shining.
No one questioned Leon’s words.
I scratched my leg a few times while it was falling apart.
This is because, despite using sword techniques, there were only scratches.
With durability that crazy, it was clear that there must be a weakness somewhere.
Of course.
Huuung! Quang!
The golems did not take it easy either.
When they swung at the ground with a weapon the size of a streetlight, a fan-shaped trail was drawn that they would search after entering.
The cadets could not rush forward easily and had no choice but to retreat back.
It was a difficult opponent, so much so that it was embarrassing to compare it to the goblin warrior army.
Broken stones continue to fly into the air.
Explosive drinking, shouting, and pounding sound made my ears dizzy.
The new model of the cadets, trying to stick to the guys as much as possible, flew through the air.
In such a crowded situation.
“From 2nd to 4th trillion! One group per person! “One group is coming my way!”
The members of the first group quickly rushed to the side of the shouting Leon.
Group 1 is in the center, and the remaining groups are dealing with the golems from four directions.
Leon glanced at the battle situation and began speaking.
Although the red gem was a weak point, there was one more condition to defeat them.
I had to convince them of the content by providing appropriate reasons.
Even to the instructors who will be watching from above.
“You don’t think you’ll fall down just by breaking the jewel?”
“Is that so…?”
“It’s still like that, look.”
Hearing his words, the first group members looked away.
Pasz!
“Okay, that’s it!”
The cadet’s sword was stuck in the chest of the golem holding the great sword, and the jewel lost its shine.
Gooooo!
“Huh?!?!”
A few seconds later, the golem got up again and started swinging its weapon.
“······Of course, that’s right. “So the gem isn’t a weakness?”
When Carotene asked, Leon shook his head.
“The way I see it, I think I have to break all four jewels at the same time.”
Leon suppressed the twitching corners of his mouth at the thought of eating them raw.
“Going to operation number 3. Each of you, one by one, get on the back and break the jewels. “You can figure out the sum yourself, right?”
Team members expressed some concern.
“Are you going to withstand those guys? No matter how much it is you, Leon…”
“It’s okay, if you want to do it, do it.”
As he slightly narrowed his eyes, the group members trembled slightly and nodded.
Leon hated saying things twice.
“Hey! Guys! “It’s number 3, number 3!”
“Everyone wait for the signal!”
Team members spread out in all directions and conveyed the contents to the remaining cadets.
Once it was confirmed that each of the six people was in charge of the golem, Leon gave a signal.
“San dog!”
The cadets all jumped backwards and got far away from the golem.
As far as possible, reaching the end of the stadium.
Naturally, the golems’ gaze was focused on Leon, who was standing closest and in the middle.
“Here, you stone-headed bastards!”
Leon attracted attention by swinging his blue sword like a glow-in-the-dark stick.
I guess I’m not that intelligent.
The golems fell for the provocation and rushed at Leon.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
Hammer on the left, greatsword on the right, spear in the front, mace in the back.
Each one was the size of five or six adult men stuck together.
A weapon with tremendous power just by its mass falls down.
Strong wind pressure crushed Leon’s new model.
In such a desperate moment.
“······.”
Leon’s concentration is heightened.
His time began to pass slowly.
Seconds split into dozens, a fleeting moment of time.
His sense of humor caught one trillion members rushing into the back of the golems.
Here is the role he has to play.
Withstand their attacks until the team members destroy the jewels.
It may seem ignorant at first glance, but he thought it was the fastest way to complete this step.
Of course.
Leon was confident that he could pull it off with ease.
“I haven’t been playing around either.”
Leon muttered, a happy smile forming on his lips.
He started moving his sword.
Jecheongeombeop (制天劍法) 3rd form, Heukunilsa (黑雲一社).
Arrogant and elegant.
With one foot on the axis, rotate in place and slowly turn the sword clockwise.
That look is like dancing a sword dance.
In this situation, where an attack that would crush my entire body was coming at any moment, it felt so foreign.
However.
The sword cutting through the air is getting faster and faster.
A powerful energy gathers around him.
Like when dark clouds that call for rain are formed.
All the mana in the area was drawn into the swordplay and concentrated.
Quaaa!
Soon, his sword energy burned brightly as if it had absorbed all the surrounding light.
A dark blue vortex is created around the sword.
A strong vortex swirled violently like a storm.
Deuddeudeudeuk!
Deadly sword pressure that makes you tremble from your wrists to your waist just by holding it.
It seems like it is complete.
Leon raised his sword to fight against the four weapons falling from above.
Whoa!
That appearance is a sight to behold.
The fragile and thin sword body seemed like it would be shattered at any moment by weapons that were dozens of times heavier.
Rather, Leon actively absorbed the attack as if to give it a try.
Everything is absorbed into the vortex like that.
5 Weapons overlapped.
＞
A huge energy wave exploded that shook the entire area.
The first group members who were rushing behind the golems had to stand upright.
A tingling ringing in my ears.
Dust, shock waves, and the remains of shattered mana rushed in, forming concentric circles.
The cadets had to close their eyes tightly to the harsh aftermath.
Sssss-
Soon, the air subsided.
Let’s open the cadets’ frowning eyelids.
“””······!”””
There.
Carrying a sword.
Standing firmly on two legs, among giants.

Cough coo coo coo coo!
I could see the boy holding their weapons firmly.
