22 – 2v2 Battle (Interlude)
Kanya couldn’t believe this situation at all.
That he will be defeated by Baran right before his eyes?
It can be.
Assuming the rumors aren’t exaggerated, it’s undeniably true that he’s stronger than he is.
There is only one reason why she denies reality.
‘Couldn’t even cut the gauge in half?’
She didn’t just put conditions on it.
She’s not sure she’ll win, but she’s sure she can cut more than half.
Because in a confined space, isn’t her poison magic overwhelmingly advantageous?
However, it was a losing situation.
She asked a question in a trembling voice.
“Why the hell did I lose? Obviously, according to the calculations, your gauge should be reduced by more than half by a surprise attack from behind or poison magic.”
Baran looked down at her like that.
Soon, instead of answering her, Lisa handed her her enchanted weapon.
“This?”
“I have bad eyesight, so I can’t see what is written on it, but please take a look at the spell.”
Her gaze turned to the bow.
Within seconds, she opened her eyes to the spell written in her field of vision.
‘Magic control and reaction speed?’
In fact, it is not difficult to put enchantments on weapons.
Wasn’t most of the production department students able to do that?
Just because she was surprised.
‘Two in one weapon?’
This is because it contains two spells.
Double enchantment, which is said to be difficult even for a decent enchanter.
That’s now contained in Baran’s Bow.
“Who made this…?”
“This is Lisa.”
At those words, Kanya’s mouth hung wide open.
Because I didn’t know that the being that had been harassing me until now could have made such an object.
“You asked? Why don’t you know you’ve been defeated?”
At that time, Baran spoke in a cold voice.
Then, he continued her words.
“It’s simple. Thanks to the reaction speed of the bow, I was able to avoid your surprise, and thanks to the magic control, I suppressed your poison as much as possible. This sparring is always a 2v2 sparring. It is not a contest between me and you.”
-Somehow, there must have been a reason why the disciple breathed magic.
In response to his answer, Miro El shook her head with an expression of understanding.
It seems that she was also curious.
While Miroel was convinced, Kanya kept her mouth closed as if she had nothing to say.
Because I didn’t even expect that the reason for the defeat was Lisa’s weapon.
Soon, she asked in a resentful voice.
“So what are your orders for me?”
“No big deal. I hope that you will help to resolve the resentment of Lisa’s father.”
“Lisa’s father?”
What is it? Were you harassing me without knowing that?
It seems that she was also gaslighted.
However, that doesn’t make her fault go away.
So, you need to repent of your sins.
Let’s start with a rough explanation.
“Lisa’s father is a man named Dilo.”
“?!”
“Well, I heard there was an unfair thing, but I hope the truth will be revealed.”
“········.”
I also don’t know the details because it’s a story of her childhood.
All she knows is that an employee named Dilo was kicked out of the family after doing strange research.
She nodded at his request.
“Okay. I will reveal what is going on as much as possible. Then, this is the end…”
“What are you talking about? When did I say it was over?”
“Yes? Are you sure you didn’t give an order?”
“Since when did I say one thing?”
Baran tilts his head and looks at Dale.
Then, Dale opened his mouth with a mean smile.
“Certainly, the condition was to fulfill the request. I never said it was one thing.”
“Did you hear that?”
“Well then, I’m going to give you another order. I hope my body…!”
She covered her breasts with both her hands as if she had misunderstood something firmly.
‘No, I can’t see. What nonsense are you talking about?’
I can see the truth, but since the setting was for blind people in the first place, there was no sense of absurdity.
Baran let out a deep sigh.
“Haa, don’t get me wrong. I beg you to do it… No. Okay. As Miss Kanya said, this must be an order. Bring the people who bullied her, and get down on her knees and apologize.”
“Uh… Yes?”
“It is as you have heard. Could it be that the daughter of the Breed family is doing this to not keep the promise she made?”
“That couldn’t have been! I will keep my promise! Please wait here!”
If you scratch her ego just a little bit, she goes into a seizure.
Soon, her stride begins to move her stride.
It seems that she intends to bring her own factions.
“It will be an interesting sight. Whoops.”
“Yes, I think so.”
Baran also smiled sinisterly as if she agreed with that statement.
Seeing the two of them like that, Miro El shook her head.
-Haa, I don’t know who the villain is because he’s blind and narrow-eyed.
Baran stopped laughing as she tried to ignore Miro El’s words.
Then, she turned her head to Dale with a serious face.
“Professor. Can I ask you for just one thing?”
With that said, Baran quietly watched a man leave her bleachers.
***
“”Sorry.””
The female students who bullied Lisa, led by Kanya, kneel down and apologize.
Could it be because the female students who usually bullied her were on her knees?
Lisa is flustered and he is at a loss.
“Uh, uh. That’s it, don’t do that next time!”
No, why is she acting and talking completely different?
If you look at his actions, he behaves like he’s going to be oktoke, and his tone of voice is like he’s about to kill someone.
At this point, it is not unreasonable to have a reasonable suspicion that she may just have multiple personalities.
‘Well, because there was nothing like that in the settings. It must have been because he was just flustered.’
– Disciple. That kid is a little scary.
To the extent that Miroel, who was next to me, hid behind me.
When I am dumbfounded inside.
– Back! Back!
Someone pulls on my collar.
Lisa, who had approached me at some point, said in an urgent voice.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Mr. Baran. Rather than that, let’s go see Miss Sherry!”
“Ah, yes. Let it be.”
We need to see what happened to Sherry and Luden’s results.
Depending on the outcome, the development of the original story will also change.
We quickly ran with the kneeling Kanya and the others behind us.
Of course, at the same time.
“Don’t do that next time!”
Lisa warned by clenching her dainty fist, but honestly, it was just cute.
Around the time I ran like that for about a minute.
“Waaa!”
I heard loud cheers in my ears.
The place you hear now is none other than the 3rd training ground.
This is where Sherry and Luden engage in sparring.
Let’s run towards it like that.
“”Ah…””
We let out a shallow exclamation at the sight in front of us.
As expected, Sherry was defeated by Luden.
That too is overwhelming.
Perhaps the Lisa next to her let out a shallow exclamation because of that.
However, the reason I exclaimed at her now is for a different reason than hers.
The reason I exclaimed now is none other than that.
‘Because I look similar to myself in the past.’
I ended up joining the company I admired so much.
However, the reality was harsh.
Contrary to expectations, we did not develop games.
All he does is run errands to bring coffee or something.
It was completely different from what I thought.
So I was not disappointed with the company.
And now, with her empty eyes, her appearance is like.
‘It’s like looking at the past me.’
Of course, unlike me, she is not disappointed in anyone.
She must have been disappointed in herself when she was defeated overwhelmingly by an opponent she just thought she could fight more or less on an equal footing with.
However, in the end, the figure that came to me is similar to the me of the past.
‘Yes. Somehow, I asked why I was advising Sherry.’
She gave her advice, despite the butterfly effect that could happen if she got it wrong.
At the time, I didn’t understand why, but seeing the scene unfolding now, I understood.
It’s just that she didn’t want to be like me in the past, so she gave me advice without realizing it.
“I have to go to Sherry over there…”
“I’ll just go.”
“Yes”
“It would be even more miserable if we went there like this.”
Saying that, I took another step.
Lisa looks at me and Sherry with a worried face.
They soon followed me.
And so the 2v2 sparring came to an end.
As expected, the development went according to the original story, but somehow I felt uncomfortable.
***
Teach, one of the assassins of the Breed family, infiltrated the academy to carry out the orders of the family.
Kanya, like Lisa, is trying to find out the secrets of the family.
As a result, it is necessary to kill Baran and Lisa, the culprits.
But at that moment.
“Let’s go back.”
Goose bumps ran down my spine.
When I turned my gaze, a narrow-eyed man was smiling and holding his hands behind his back.
A being with narrow eyes and whose presence cannot be sensed.
A name passed through his mind.
“Dale?”
“Oh, do you know me?”
“As long as I have a job as an assassin, I can never know.”
On the battlefield, he is called the Shinigami.
Most of those who encountered him died without knowing why.
-Gulp!
Teach swallows dry saliva.
Soon, the moment he tried to pull the dagger out of his hand.
“Huh. Are you really trying to fight me?”
Dale opens his eyes and makes a serious expression he has never shown before.
I feel the pressure even though I just opened my eyes.
The spine gets damp.
He bites his lower lip.
Dale looks over at him and warns him.
“The assassin of the Breed family. Go and tell your master. If you don’t want to turn the academy into an enemy, don’t touch our students.”
Originally, you shouldn’t have listened to orders like that.
However, the meaning that Dale is here is no different from saying that the academy bachelor is aware of this situation.
Eventually, Teach shook his head and disappeared from Dale’s sight.
At the same time.
“Is this enough?”
Dale turns his head back with a smirk.
Then, Baran appears at the entrance of the dormitory.
He nods his head up and down with a satisfied face.
“Yes, that is enough.”
***
Broden land.
This place, called the battlefield ground, is a place where death is born every day.
Because it is a place between the Demonic Spirit and the Manchester continent.
As a result, every time on the land of Broden, Demons and Humans fight each other with all their might.
However, even in such a dying and killing land, there are bound to be beings with overwhelming force.
For example, King, one of the officers of the Demon King’s Army.
-Yes, Mr. King. This is Jack.
“Yes. What do you think the academy security is like?”
-It’s definitely tough, but it’s likely that there will be loopholes in the performance evaluation that will take place soon.
“I see, then is it possible?”
-Hmm, but there are professors there, so to be honest, it’s too much for me alone.
Certainly, considering Jack’s ability, it would be absurd to hold out against professors.
But, it doesn’t matter.
That would be the case too.
“You don’t have to worry.”
– Yes?
“Because I plan to go this time too.”
While saying that, King looked at the human caught in his hand.
He continues, raising the corner of his mouth.
“So. So that I can prepare in advance so that I can infiltrate.”
– Crunchy!
With that said, King breaks the neck of the soldier who is holding him in his hand.
Then let’s go and kill the beings that get in the way of the future.
It was the moment when the final chapter of the first main episode began.
***
A few days have passed since the 2v2 sparring.
Now I don’t know how the hell to explain this situation.
That would be too.
-Hurry and become one with me! Disciple!
Isn’t Mirole attacking me to become one?
In order to explain this situation, it is necessary to recall the previous quest reward.
