197 – 39. Again, in a dream
The number of spider-like monsters was so great that I got sick of it.
What appeared to be just black in the distance was a group of monsters, which gradually grew bigger and wriggled countless times.
Is it because everything is black? It was difficult to even count the number.
The number is far beyond thousands, and it is suspected that even tens of thousands may not be enough.
Even the inside of the dream, which was shimmering with rainbow colors, seemed to be turning completely black.
No matter where you look, there is black, and wherever you look, there are only monsters.
The six humans who rushed there──
Puhuaak!
“Kyaaa!!!”
“……Noisy…….”
──I was literally grinding the monsters.
The warrior in the vanguard slashed the monster by swinging his great sword like a tree branch.
Using the skill , The great sword imbued with pure white sword energy easily slaughtered dozens of animals with each swing.
He did this more than ten times in one breath, so even though he was at the forefront and facing the most monsters, he felt rather relaxed.
With his usual expressionless expression, without even a break in his breathing, the hero was not pushed away even slightly.
It wasn’t just the warrior who was going crazy.
Quaaang!!
“hahahaha, how long has it been since Hwang Seong’s training that we’ve been fighting like this…!!”
Kim Seong-il, who had never shown himself fighting until now, was crushing the approaching monster with one fist as if to prove that he, like Kim Eun-ha, was a member of the
Royal family.
Although relatively buried due to her younger sister’s overwhelming strength, Kim Seong-il is also an With overwhelming basic physical abilities. Although it is nothing compared to Galaxy, it is definitely a special job.
When I punch my fist, wind pressure occurs, and even though I hit the air, the impact continues all the way to the back.
But in the end, since all I had was my fist, there were bound to be parts that I couldn’t cover.
“These guys… It looks like they were born through magic…”
It was Lucas’ magic to fix that part.
Lucas, who can use and interpret all the magic in the world through , The job skill of the special occupation , Did not lift a finger.
Rather, he was closely observing a killed monster while levitating it in the air with magic.
The magic floating in the air was more than enough to do its job.
Bam!!! Let’s go! Grumbling!!
Dozens of magic each destroy, tear, and burn hundreds of monsters.
Killing over a hundred monsters with a single spell, Lucas had enough firepower to annihilate tens of thousands of monsters just by replenishing his magic appropriately.
In the meantime, he was casting all kinds of strengthening and defensive magic on his allies, so it was difficult to predict what level Lucas’ capabilities as a wizard had reached.
It was Rio who was fighting the hardest.
“Ah! You damn bastards!!”
Of course, this means that it is relatively difficult.
At the rear of the group, there is a bizarre stone statue with seven arms on its back, and together with Liu and the statue, a total of nine arms produce different artifacts.
It was weaker than the hero’s sword strike, Lucas’ magic, and Kim Seong-il’s fist, but its power was covered by overwhelming numbers.
More than anything, I was weaker than them, but that was more than enough to overwhelm the spider monsters.
Nevertheless, the reason why Rio is angry is…… At best, I think it would be a waste to use tens of billions of dollars worth of artifacts on these guys.
Other than that.
“Well, the end is slowly in sight, Namgoong Min.”
“…Is that so?”
“I guess I just need to sweep it up a bit more.”
Is it because he felt a sense of rivalry with Lane, who was the only one floating in the air and had the most relaxed attitude?
Unlike the other guys, Lane didn’t look at the monsters and was just talking to me.
The most overwhelming thing about her was her.
Kwasik. Kwasik. Kwasik.
“Kkiiiii……”
With a moderate movement of the hand, monsters clustered in the distance are crushed and exploded.
With a single wave of his hand, he crushes several times more monsters than the monsters he kills with a great sword, magic, fists, or artifacts, and noticeably reduces their number.
In fact, the reason the hero fought leisurely at the forefront was partly due to his fighting skills, but Rain’s annihilation was a major factor.
Unlike others who simply kill the monsters in front of them and move forward, he killed about half of the monster group by himself with his superpowers.
And I am protected by all of them.
“……………….”
…… I was bored. Really.
The inside of the soap bubble made from the artifact that Liu threw was warm and fluffy.
As I sit in the floating bubble and zone out, the monster automatically dies and moves forward on its own.
Honestly, I know I shouldn’t think like this, but……
‘Is it comfortable?’
The honey was sweet. Is this the group project hope?
For some reason, I remembered my first mountaineering class.
‘At that time, I only gave directions.’
At that time, I was not able to properly prove my abilities, so I was noticed and also received doubts.
Nowadays, it has become natural to be protected and everyone understands it.
This…… Is it trust? Or friendship?
One thing was certain.
There is no problem even if you think these useless thoughts.
The black color surrounding it gradually disappears, and the original rainbow color gradually begins to appear.
It must have been a little over 10 minutes since I charged into the group of monsters. I was a little dumbfounded that only six, no, only five people were able to overcome hundreds of thousands of monsters.
“You’re weaker than I thought. You scum.”
“Rio, the monsters that come out of the gate will still be at the average level, right?”
“Then what do you do? Unlike those who are even intelligent, you just stupidly keep charging. They say they are gangsters, but if you are this ignorant, you are just a piece of meat.”
“I agree with what the great rich man said.”
“…The people gathered here…Are…Special…That’s right…”
“Well, if you had a normal job or were an academy student, you would have been dead a long time ago.”
From Noble mtl dot com
I vaguely knew that special occupations were strong, but…… In such a large-scale battle, each person is like a strategic weapon.
Once again, I understood why Romance Academy gathered them all in one place under the name of a special occupation class.
Because they are literally on a different level from ordinary students.
‘Tests and battles are different, so I didn’t see a big gap in the academy.’
If it really becomes a battle of death and death…… Even Rio, who would be the weakest here, would just snort even if all the students in the academy attacked him.
And I, caught between them, am Namgoong Min, the academy’s weakest fortune teller.
My heart truly feels magnificent……
“Anyway, Namgoong Min, you’ve made it through, where are you going now?”
“…First of all, keep moving forward. There is no sense of direction inside a dream, so if you keep going, something will come out.”
“Okay. Just be careful about this gold crown. One-third of it is already stained black.”
“I will keep this in mind.”
I said I would simply move forward, but all I had to do was move forward to where I cared.
The That reached its polarity captured the slightest sense of incongruity even in this rainbow-colored wavering.
‘Hey…….’
At first glance, it only looks like a rainbow.
The only place there is a faint black color mixed in with the rainbow color.
I don’t know if that’s another group of monsters or the principal…… First of all, heading there wouldn’t be the wrong choice.
As I was thinking that, I was focusing my attention on the black color that I could see at a glance.
“…Namgoong Min.”
“Lucas, what’s wrong?”
“These monsters… I kept investigating them, but something seemed a little strange.”
“In what sense?”
“If these are real monsters, no traces of magic should be visible. But…I can be sure. These are made of magic.”
“That means…”
“At first, I thought the principal had somehow shaken up the dream and made the monster come out again, but that wasn’t the case.”
Sharp.
The black monster that Lucas threw away roughly looked like a combination of a caterpillar and a spider.
“They are all artificial life forms created by the principal using magic. With this… The cause that we may not have known has become clear.”
“The hero of the gate is actually trying to turn the world upside down by creating monsters. Hmm, not a bad scenario.”
“…The scenario…Isn’t…”
The warrior clicked his tongue at the words of Lucas and Kim Seong-il.
“……Wait a minute, Namgoong Min!”
Right after Lane, who was floating in the air with an expression that said it didn’t matter, hurriedly stretched out his hand to me.
“Sure, it’s an interesting scenario, right?”
──Just right.
A very refreshing sound resonates.
Right after the principal suddenly appears, looking down at everyone with his arms crossed and a truly cocky expression.
She snapped her fingers.
Click.
“Uh.”
The indomitable golden crown on everyone’s head breaks.
The gold crown, which had already been stained black about a third, shattered and disappeared.
Sharp.
The drowsiness that had been prevented by the artifact must have been so great that I collapsed and fell asleep without even saying a word.
“……………….”
And among them, only me.
Thanks to Rain’s
Superpower, I was the only one wearing a gold crown that barely broke.
I was able to stand there without falling asleep.
“Huh? Oh my god, after all, it’s a special job. To react in such a short moment… These are the children who will lead the future.”
“It’s a dirty surprise, Principal. What are you doing against students who are much younger than you?”
“Don’t call me with that dirty and feeble voice. You are not someone I should respect.”
Just right.
I snapped my fingers again as if it was bothering me, but in the rainbow-colored space, I clearly saw the ‘attack’ through And threw myself away.
Aiming precisely at my arm, I roll and get up to avoid the barrage of attacks like a guillotine.
“Oh… Those eyes, it’s not a skill that a dregs of society like a fortune teller would have. If I kill you, I can give that skill to a qualified student.”
“Try it.”
“…What?”
“Principal, I know you quite well. You have an unseemly sense of being the chosen people… You call yourself noblesse oblige? Anyway, aren’t you a psychopath who thinks that having a special job is the only way to have a proper job?”
“Ha.”
“There’s no way you’ll look at me kindly, and you’ll definitely see me as someone who needs to be gotten rid of. Isn’t that right?”
I laugh as if it’s not the same, but I grew up seeing countless people laugh.
In that sense, the principal’s empty laugh just now was a laugh meant to calm down his boiling insides.
“The one who flutters his mouth even though he knows that is just a fortune teller.”
“You know that, but you’re not trying to kill me. You were deliberately aiming for my arm earlier. I know you don’t have much patience, but if you can tolerate me even after hearing my arrogant words, it’s not that you won’t kill me, but that you can’t kill me.”
“…One word is a waste of water. It’s really annoying.”
“It’s annoying that you’re doing this too. Then, please bring him.”
“……What?”
“The reason you can’t kill me is because there’s someone else who can kill me. I think I have a rough idea of who it is, but please bring me back quickly.”
It’s a bluff. It was a bravado that the principal would find absurd.
Looking at the attack earlier, it seems like he doesn’t need at least one of my arms, and maybe the principal really can’t kill me.
But I pretended to be shameless and relaxed. An expression made of deception and lies appeared.
If you panic here or use evil, it will be of no use.
In this situation where everyone was asleep, I just did what I do best.
“…Okay, follow me. It’s a bit of an ability, but it’s possible, right?”
“f*ck my worries. I have to take my friends with me.”
“What? Dregs, don’t be mistaken. Those students are special professions, and they are as different from humans as you. I don’t accept that you call such precious students your friends or that you try to take them with you. “I can’t do it.”
“What do you mean? I’ll say it again, f*ck you. I have no intention of leaving my friends in the hands of a grandmother of over 100 years because of her ex-monstrous beliefs.”
“……You little bastard.”
“It’s much better to be a kid than to force yourself to stay young after you’ve all grown old.”
I didn’t care how the principal reacted. Anyway, my relationship with her had already crossed the line.
Carrying or carrying the sleeping warrior, Kim Seong-il, Lane, Liu, and finally Lucas……
“……….”
“Ha, has he become heavier now? He’s like a piece of trash after all.”
“My friends here are probably younger than the principal is now.”
“……………….”
…… He even lifted Lucas, and somehow managed to lift five people by himself.
Even though I was the weakest, it wasn’t that difficult because I also had a job.
But.
“If it’s that light, this should be fine, right?”
Puff, poop.
When the principal with a twisted smile waves his hand, a needle made of magic sprouts out of thin air.
The small, infinitely thin needle pierced my body without mercy while holding up five people.
No matter how much the principal’s magic is, it is a needle thinner than a mechanical pencil lead. Even if it penetrated the body, there was no bleeding or collapse.
It just causes extremely delicate and painful pain.
“……That’s childish.”
And the principal’s actions are indeed the same.
I walked away without my smile fading at all.
A path I don’t know how far to walk.
