MT(2)
Wow ah-
Elia took a big bite of the chicken skewers and asked. Tender chicken and spicy sauce harmonized in your mouth. It was fantastic.
Churrup-
This time, he sipped the slush in his hand. Sweet and sour orange flavor. It was delicious, but it was so cold that it gave me a headache. Elia frowned.
“Ugh…”
Seeing this, Isabel burst into laughter.
“Ah, look at his expression!”
“Ugh, I won’t take it away, so eat slowly.”
Celie rubbed Elia’s temple. Acupressure a few times with my thumb and the headache went away. Elia’s expression brightened again.
“Hehe. delicious.”
“Elia. Oh~”
I took the fries that Olivia gave me and ate them all at once. The saltiness whetted the appetite. It seemed that the clown was about to ascend.
“Who wants to eat chicken skewers?”
“Nana! Quaam-”
“Oh, eat some Isabelle!”
Sitting on the grass and sharing food, we quickly ran out. The starving girls were not satisfied there and headed to the stalls to buy the next meal.
Sally asked.
“Should we eat cube steak this time?”
“steak? I want to eat but…”
Elia smacked her lips.
Cube steaks for sale at a food truck. Crowds gathered from the start because of the sizzling sound of the iron plate and the enchanting smell. Should I wait at least 1 hour?
“Are there a lot of people there?”
“Let’s go and decide. If there are a lot of people, you can eat something else.”
“OK.”
“great.”
Everyone agreed with Isabel. Together, we headed to the steak food truck. But when I arrived, unexpectedly, no one was there.
“uh······?”
Elia tilted her head.
It wasn’t just the cube steak. Colossal cotton candy, butter-grilled shrimp, seafood pasta, rainbow crepes, and more. Popular stalls were suspiciously quiet.
It’s nice that there is no line, but on the other hand, I was anxious.
“Is it time to end already, Shelly?”
“yes? no. There is still quite a bit left.”
“But why are there no people?”
“I know·····”
Elia and the others walked through the empty stalls. There were only a handful of people in the dart game room, mini viking, and air trampoline. They were all male students.
“Isn’t it annoying the more you think about it?”
“How are you? It’s good that we don’t stand in line.”
After a while, I found a place where the crowds gathered abnormally. A long line, like a coiled snake. At the end of it, I saw the student council event booth.
[ Try your luck! ]
“Weren’t you cold until a while ago?”
“So, did you add a 32 pyeong apartment as a product?”
“Then it’s worth driving. Shall we go too?”
“Is that…?”
The four lined up as if possessed by something.
Strangely, I wanted to go to the student council booth even though I was hungry right away and had a chance to eat popular food right away. said Elia.
“Wait a moment.”
“yes? Do you want to go to the bathroom, Elia?”
“No wait.”
Elia jumped out of the line and looked inside the booth carefully. I don’t know the exact reason, but I strangely wanted to see that side. Surprisingly, there was Professor Leonard in the booth.
“All you have to do is select a product and pull the handle. Congratulations, you won the prize.”
“Hey, Professor! Can I just shake your hand once?”
The girl with flushed cheeks shyly held out her hand.
Leonard, who looked somewhat tired, shook hands briefly and immediately withdrew his hand.
“next. Select a product and handle-”
The appearance of repeating words and actions like a machine. Insincere, but charming. I even felt a sense of decadence. Isabel and Olivia, who followed, covered their surprised mouths with both hands.
“OMG! Why is the professor over there?”
“I guess you voluntarily participated to help the student council.”
“Somehow, his personality is also perfect.”
The three returned to their seats and waited in line. After a while, Elia’s turn finally came. I especially wanted him to pretend to know me, but Leonard was consistently blunt.
“All you have to do is select a product and pull the handle.”
“yes!”
After careful consideration, Elia ended up choosing an option.
[ Lucky Pachinko ]
Special product- 1 pc / Special penalty- 1 pc
Best Product – 3 pieces / Best Penalty – 3 pieces
Medium and low products – 4 pieces / Medium and low penalties – 4 pieces
He immediately pulled the handle. A loud sound echoed and the screen rotated rapidly.
Tiriririri- Ding-!!
[ Special penalty: 2-hour right to work ]
“… Eh?”
Ellia doubted her eyes. 2 hour work right? What are all these penalties?
I mistook it for a moment as a joke.
“Congratulations. It’s a special penalty win.”
Looking at Leonard’s words and actions, it seemed to be true. Leonard immediately called the student council president.
“Selina. Guide Elia.”
“All right. ruler! Time to work Elia!”
Caught by Selina and brought to the booth, Elia stands next to Leonard.
“Ellia, you just have to play the role of delivering the goods. It’s not difficult, so can you do it well?”
“yes? yes.”
“Ooh yes. Is your sister watching from the side?”
Elia suddenly nodded. I put in a lot of other options, but I’m going to have a special penalty. No luck, no support.
“next. Choose a product-”
But why?
I could feel the envy of the girls around me.
Since then, all the female students have added a special product, but unfortunately? I did not win the special penalty.
＊＊＊
evening after the festival.
The next event was in progress in the auditorium.
The student council ambitiously prepared – in fact, repeating the same every year – courage training.
The 10 team members must go around the Garden – Lake Montre – Michael’s Garden – Abandoned Cathedral – Cemetery in order to find the hidden treasure.
True to its name, courage training, there are surprise magics installed in the spots and on the roads.
Teams 1 and 2 of freshmen have already started, and the rest of the teams are waiting for their turn.
Sitting in the professor’s seat, Karios examined the freshmen’s faces.
“Look at his face. Were you scared?”
“Oh, isn’t it? Who was scared?”
“If you’re scared, say you’re scared, bastard.”
A lot of frightened students and students making fun of them. The auditorium was divided into two groups.
Same goes for professors.
Unlike Julia and Herrington, who seemed to be calm, only Leonard’s face was frozen.
Is it because it’s the first time you’ve followed freshman MT?
Karios patted Leonard on the shoulder.
“You look nervous.”
“·······”
“Nothing to worry about. It’s not so scary, it’s courage training.”
Leonard stared into space without answering. Then, he called Selina, the student council president.
“Selina.”
“Yes, Professor!”
Selina came running with a bright face.
“Did you call me?”
“Do you think this courage training is safe? If we leave it like this, I don’t think there’s any reason why four professors followed.”
“yes······?”
As Selina panicked, Carios hurriedly intervened.
“Are you saying that again? It’s an annual event, so it’s safe.”
“Uh… Professor Carios is right. It has been completed every year without much trouble, and I don’t think you need to worry too much about Elaluara here!”
Elarua.
The area where the beast subjugation was completed 30 years ago. It had a reputation for being safe. There was a reason why the MT was held every year.
“It should be fine because we have senior executives in each spot.”
“·····Right. i get it.”
“yes!”
Selina bowed her head politely and ran to her place. Karios leaned over and whispered.
“Leonard. Even if you are a deputy professor, you have to keep an eye on other senior professors.”
“·······”
Leonard glanced at him.
Professor Harrington and Julia are still expressionless.
I didn’t show it, but Leonard’s argument wouldn’t have been very nice. Professors will also want to take a break.
“Why is a guy who was good at social life suddenly doing that?”
“I forgot.”
“It’s weird these days.”
Carrios stood up after saying that. I was thinking of talking to the freshmen.
As Carios approached, all seven teams of freshmen stood up.
“Sit comfortably. It’s not long before the turn, but isn’t everyone nervous?”
“I’m OK. It’s because Lely is very nervous.”
“What is he saying now? No Professor!”
“I saw all the sweaty hands, but what? Professors are last, right?”
“Aren’t you nervous, Professor?”
Fortunately, it wasn’t something I hated. I felt like I could easily make friends with the freshmen.
“I attend every year so nothing is wrong.”
“OMG! how about it? Are you afraid of courage training?”
“Well······”
The time when we were talking about this and that.
thud-!
The front door of the auditorium shook greatly. The auditorium, which had been noisy with small talk, became quiet in an instant. A strange silence hovering around. Professors and students looked at it at the same time.
before anyone said anything.
thud-!
The thick front door swayed as if it would break. Students who had been sitting in groups of three to three rose from their seats one by one. Karios shouted.
“Everyone get out of the front door!”
Carios, who finished casting fireballs with both hands before he knew it, asked Selina while looking at the front door.
“Selina. Is this some kind of courage training?”
“Oh, no. Nothing like this-”
thud-!
“Kyaaah!”
Selina covered her ears and sat down. A panic spread in an instant and oppressed the inside of the auditorium. Everyone panicked.
yet·····
Coudangtang-!
The main entrance to the auditorium was smashed, and the debris rushed right under Karios’ feet.
Dark auditorium hallway.
-Queueekkeek!!
A gigantic ogre appeared with a strange scream. It wasn’t one. 10 ogres and 20+ trolls. As if they had intelligence, they lined up all at once.
“What·····”
Karios glared at the ogre with sharp eyes.
It’s the same with this one having a rank.
Before I knew it, Professors Harrington, Julia, and senior executives were casting magic on both sides. Except for one person.
“Leonard.”
“·······”
“Leonard!”
Called twice, but no answer. Karios, overheated, turned his head to the gallows.
“Leonard! Hurry up and defend… uh…?”
There was no Leonard in the professor’s chair. I looked around and didn’t see it.
I had no choice but to fight with this number.
“damn·····”
＊＊＊
A team of freshmen who are undergoing courage training.
We arrived at the abandoned cathedral through the front gate – Lake Montre – Michael’s Garden. Dustin, the leader of Team 1, opened the door to the abandoned cathedral.
Ki-Ik-
High floor height like any other cathedral.
Long tables lined up in a row and huge crosses covered with dust.
The moonlight pouring through the window eeriely illuminated the interior.
gulp.
Dustin swallowed dry saliva and entered the cathedral. The rest of the team also followed Dustin.
Like in the garden, I was afraid that magic would come out of nowhere, so I was very scared.
Dustin said as everyone came inside.
“You know you can get out quickly if you find it quickly, right? You two follow from the right. and you.”
Tustin’s index finger pointed at Elia.
“Yes······?”
“Yes? Being young is going crazy.”
“····Sorry.”
“You and the kid next to you start from the left. and you-”
I was sharing roles to find the treasure efficiently, but I was suddenly frightened by my size. At the same time, everyone was shocked.
“Huh-up!”
“Why why?”
“I, there…”
The hulking pointed to the window. Stained glass with several paintings.
“A shadow just passed by.”
“What shadow?”
“I heard something so huge flew away with a whimper.”
“Ho, don’t make a fuss.”
Dustin said it didn’t matter. Actually, I was scared, but I pretended not to because the girls were watching.
“It must be magic again.”
“I saw it with my own two eyes!”
“What do you see? Stop talking nonsense and search-”
It was then. Something broke through the window and threw me to the floor.
Chaeng-Grang-! Kook-!
Heavy landing.
After confirming his identity, Tustin could no longer be bluffing. The one who fell into the cathedral was student council officer Katlik. Katlik, who always smiled brightly, stiffened coldly.
“Stand, stand, no way…”
“…Senior Ketrick?”
“Nonsense····”
“I have to get out!”
one of the team members shouted.
Then, as if they had planned it in advance, everyone ran towards the entrance. But the door was immediately closed.
bang-!
“What the fuck is this!”
“Someone open it!”
No matter how much I shook it, it didn’t open.
“Is there anyone who can use destructive magic?”
“That’s a course for the second semester of the first year…”
“Move!”
Dustin shouted and the team members around the door retreated. Like a prestigious family, he had prepared for the Imperial Academy course. I don’t remember exactly, but now wasn’t the time to be blind.
Dustin’s arm aimed at the door.
Geeing-
The moment he was vaguely about to implement destruction magic, Dustin stopped moving. The ominous feeling behind and the team members all staring into the void.
“Why- ah…”
A moan escaped Dustin’s mouth as he turned around.
Go oh oh oh-…
A human figure floating in the air.
The upper body is a robe with a hood, but underneath is a torn mat, and the legs are not visible. The inside of the long hood was empty.
Spirit Beast, Dark Diorer.
The students who faced the top-notch monster froze on the spot.
＊＊＊
Dark Diorer.
A top-notch Witchbeast that I’ve only heard about.
I wanted to believe that it was the magic of the student council, but the guy floating in the air was so vivid. The first team of freshmen felt death at that moment.
“Mom······”
“ah······”
But Elia was different. Elia was the only one who didn’t lose her mind and attacked Dark Diorer.
Steel dust made with 「Matter Conversion Ability」.
Shu-shu-shu-!
Steel dust surged like a bullet through Dark Diorer. Hive-like holes formed in its robes. Elia smiled lightly.
“done.”
“You’re sick… what’s going to happen…”
Dustin groaned in horror.
“That’s Dark Diorer. Normal attacks don’t work…”
“yes·····? It doesn’t work, what is that-“
“Look smart.”
Dustin pointed at Dark Dior.
There was only a hole in his robe, but he was still floating in place.
“You idiot!”
Physical attacks do not work against Dark Diorer. This is because it is a gaseous magic beast that is neither solid nor liquid.
The reason why he is infamous even though his HP is low and his attack pattern is simple. Among the attack mages, only those who mastered the qi attribute were able to defeat it.
It wasn’t a guy that freshmen could deal with.
“Fuck… we’re all dead…”
A fact that only Elia didn’t know about because of her long life in confinement. Interpreting the meaning of the words, Elia stretched out her hand toward Dark Dior. I tried to change the state of the bastard with the [substance conversion ability]. However, it was impossible for a 17-year-old prodigy.
“Oh, no····”
Elia, who was at least calm, gradually fell into panic.
“Then, quickly ship, the barrier…”
“Barrier?”
Dark Diorer spread his arms wide.
“The ignorant bitch really knows nothing.”
A black aura permeated the surroundings as if gathering demonic energy.
“If you hear Dark Diorer’s scream, your mana will be sealed and your eardrums will be torn—”
Before Dustin could finish his sentence, something spewed out from within Dark Diorer’s hood.
A shock wave that resonates with the air current.
-!!!!
The air around the area resonated, and the dust that had settled down rose up. All of the stained glass windows in the cathedral were smashed, and the students were pushed out without hesitation.
After the commotion was over, Elia raised her head.
“·······”
No sound was heard. There was no tinnitus that beeped. It was quiet, as if it had just been muted.
Is the eardrum torn?
If so, it should be accompanied by a sense of pain, but there is no such thing as pain. I just felt a sense of alienation.
Elia groped for her ear with a trembling hand. I wanted to check inside, but something was blocking my ear canal.
‘Ugh, what is it?’
Before he could make any decision, Dark Dior’s next attack continued. Stained glass that was shattered. Thousands of glass shards all at once rose into the air.
-!
Before long, it rushed toward Elia and her teammates.
Elia raised her arms and covered her face.
I didn’t hear it, but I screamed like that.
A shard of glass to be slammed into the skin.
Skin to be torn apart.
The fear of death that every human being has.
All of which caused extreme panic. But what I actually felt was a soft touch.
-Yes?
Elia opened her closed eyes. I checked it by running my index finger over it on my face.
“…?”
powder. It was a very soft glass powder. Glass powder that is so finely ground that it cannot even leave a small scratch.
Elia looked around. The reaction of the team members was similar. I checked the glass powder with a puzzled expression, and everyone looked at one place at once.
Dustin and several other members of the team were shedding tears of relief.
-······
Soon after, Elia also had a hunch.
“Fragrant body odor” that calms the mind
“Superior appearance” recognizable even in the faint moonlight
-ah······
Where everyone’s eyes were focused, Professor Leonard was standing there.
＊＊＊
Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.
No, they arrived earlier than the original rescue team.
The professors in charge are tied up by tank-type monsters. Karios will take it down in no time, but it will take at least 5 minutes.
That means that you have to defeat the Dark Diorer within 5 minutes. I took out the potion in my bosom. There was something I wanted to check, but the students’ ears were blocked with a magic field. Communication was impossible, so I had no choice but to do it myself.
I wrapped the barrier in potion. Then, it was launched by telekinesis and fired at Dark Dior.
Shuk-!
“·······”
As expected, Dark Diorer did not budge. As set, it was insensitive to physical attacks.
The moment the slowly flying potion reached him, he canceled the barrier and injected a larger barrier. At the same time, he applied strong pressure to break the potion bottle.
Chaeng-Gran-
He’s a spirit demon.
In the first place, the liquid does not come into contact with it. However, if it is a gas, if it has the same qi component as Dark Dior, then the story is different.
High pressure is accompanied by high fever.
When I poured stronger mana into the barrier, the liquid potion instantly vaporized. Blue smoke covered the inside of the barrier.
Swoop-
All of this happened in an instant.
The potion thrown at him was a [substance conversion potion] that the former great wizard ‘Frederick’ used ‘Ellia’s hair’ and made over the course of a day.
Elia’s “substance conversion ability” was raised to the maximum level, and it was specially designed so that the effect does not change even when vaporized.
Truly a fraudulent ability.
It was hard to believe even for me, but ‘Frederick’s Potion’ managed to do that difficult thing.
-That pole… that pole…
With a grotesque sound, Dark Dior’s body stiffened. The thing that was a gas was gradually changing into a solid state. Even if he tried to escape belatedly, Dark Diorer, which had already started to solidify, could not escape the barrier.
All preparations are complete.
All that remains is the final blow.
I swept away the glass dust that had fallen around me with my mind movement. Enormous amounts of powder were confined in the barrier and strongly compressed. Similar intensity to Gestav. After that, let’s release the barrier.
– Chii Ik!
The red-hot sphere was completed. The tremendous heat raised the temperature inside the cathedral.
Dark Dior’s physical strength is the weakest among the monsters.
His weak point is the center inside the hood.
I gathered the maximum amount of mana and aimed at the inside of the hood. It’s slower than “Throw”, but faster than “Pyrokinesis”.
Woowook-!
Right before the sphere reached, the barrier that had confined him was canceled.
Pajik-!
It just penetrated the vital point. With a heavy plosive sound, the sphere pierced the back of his head.
– Kwegegek! Kreukakka・・・・・・
A grotesque scream echoes through the cathedral.
Shortly thereafter, Dark Diorer was shattered into powder. treatment was successful.
A series of beeps.
Tring-!

Ignoring all of that, I headed for Dark Diorer’s bond.
Heaps of black powder.
A necklace with a skull pattern on top of it.
“Lucadelos…”
It was the mark of the legendary black magician Lucar Delos.
The raids took place simultaneously not only in MT, but across the country. ‘Elarua’ was able to reduce the damage with Karios and me, but the other areas must be desperate.
This will lead to the orders of the Emperor Goth.
just as expected.
