15 – Archabug – 15
It was ‘death’ itself.
As many black deaths swallowed Hugo and Amel, they became like shadows.
The black figure starts to struggle. However, its surface oscillates like the waves of the black sea.
I stood next to it and watched it quietly.
Yes, as much as seeing me in person, I must have been able to overcome it through a special item.
However, will he be able to withstand being eaten by countless insects?
When about 10 seconds passed while thinking about that.
“stop!”
The instructor standing outside the training ground shouted.
When the magic was dismantled, the figures of two people with minor wounds were revealed.
The two of them were trembling and muttering something.
It sounded like “hatehhhhh”, so I thought there was no need to listen carefully.
“… … The winners are Roger von Euglia and Gregory Jones. Amel and Hugo will have to be treated separately.”
At the instructor’s words, the leading member who was watching outside the training ground led the two into the building.
Why are you staring at me like you’re going to kill me? In the end, it was just sparring.
“Gregory! what was that just? Something like a shadow swallowed them both… … .”
After the sparring, Rose approached me and asked. From a distance, it seemed that the shape could not be seen properly.
“They’re the ones I’ve become as small as a normal bug.”
“… … yes?”
Rosé’s expression stiffened as if she had heard an unexpected answer.
“So, are you saying that it was bugs that covered the two of them?”
“okay.”
Burr. And Rose’s body trembled.
“I don’t even want to imagine… … . ah! Gregory, is your wound okay? The magic I used must have been quite painful.”
“Ah, it hurts so bad. Thanks to you, I was able to win.”
[Attribute: Terrible vitality] would not have been activated if the magic had not felt the threat of death.
“yes?”
“I will explain that later.”
Talking about my skills in front of so many people was tantamount to bragging about my money.
Rosé also nodded, perhaps realizing the gaze around her.
“yes!”
“… … Then, I’d like to get some rest.”
“Certainly I am exhausted. It’s the first time I’ve spent so much mana.”
It was only natural that he used large-scale wide-area magic. Firebomb was still a difficult magic for Rosé to handle.
“You also go in and rest. Good job today.”
The instructor came out and looked at Rosé and extended his hand. It seemed that he viewed this Dalian quite highly.
Since I was still transformed, Rosé held her hand instead and thanked me.
We returned to the 2nd year dormitory building, which is still being used as a reserve.
I had to return to my human form in the middle of being worried about the eyes of the people around me.
When I was sitting at the table and staring out the window and healing myself, Rosé placed black tea in front of me and said,
“Gregory-sama, may I ask what that skill was? It was the first skill I ever saw… … Is it conditional?”
The summoner is the only one who can check the status of the summoner. So, she must have been quite surprised.
“It was a feature. A characteristic that increases intelligence and resilience explosively when in danger of dying.”
“Did something like that happen?”
“I was also surprised. The skill you asked for must have been opened for a while as your intelligence increased.”
[Skill: Black Swamp] could not be found even when I opened the status window.
“Certainly I can’t see it now. Will it reappear when I upgrade later?”
“Perhaps.”
Maybe it’s because it’s the first magic I’ve ever used. The desire to write again was wriggling in a corner of my heart.
“Then shall we rest until dinnertime?”
“That’s not bad either… … Have dinner and somewhere to go with me.”
“yes?”
“Do you really think I would have been satisfied with just receiving a full scholarship from the president?”
“Sir, did you rip off something else… ?!”
Rosé’s face was full of anticipation. I just wanted to play a joke on it.
“I’ll tell you about it after dinner.”
After saying that, I moved to the image space.
I was satisfied with the sound of ‘It’s Gregorini~~’ as I moved through the space.
When I returned to the wheel form and sat down on the bed, I saw a new alarm on the monitor in front of me.
“what?”
I got closer and checked it out.
[The next chapter of Summoner Academia Gaiden (Gregory Jones) has been opened.]
“Ha, come now and say this is open?”
I thought it was open because I used [Skill: Black Swamp] today.
“I wanted to rest, but… … The best break for gamers is gaming.”
It even raises an alarm like this, asking you to play, but if you don’t do it, that’s stupid.
“Yeah, what the hell happened?”
I muttered that and sat down in the gaming chair.
* * *
Ding-dong!
I woke up to the sound. Looking at the time, it was evening time.
“Is it already this time?”
Just finished Chapter 2. I get up from my seat, do some stretching and move to Rosé’s side.
“You really tell me after dinner, right?”
Apparently, he still cared about what I said before moving into the mental space.
“Okay, it won’t hurt you, so don’t worry.”
“all right! Then, let’s go eat soon!”
Rose grabbed my sleeve and started running.
Anyway, I have to stand in front of the elevator, so why run… … .
As I was being dragged by Rosé, I remembered the contents of Chapter 2 of [Summoner Academia Gaiden (Gregory Jones)].
The content of Chapter 2 was a story about what I was doing in the Demon Realm.
My hobby that left everything behind was writing.
An unexpected point came out here, but my writing seemed to be a big hit in the demon realm.
At that time, I developed a human form to hide my identity, and it seems that the name I used as a pseudonym was [Kafka].
The guy who designed my character must have been quite the Kafka fan.
The main content of Chapter 2 was to go around the demon realm under the name of Kafka and meet various demons.
Thanks to you, if it was important, it was important. It is no different from gaining memories of connections.
“Gregory?”
“Why would you do that, Rose?”
“Oh, I asked what you would like to order, but there was no answer… … .”
“Ah, tomato pasta, please.”
“I like Tomahawk Steak! It’s overcooked!”
“… … I’ve always wondered, is it okay for elves to like meat so much?”
After hearing what I said, Rose said as if she was talking about something.
“Ah, Mr. Gregory too. That’s what old people say. These days, elves eat meat well, so their height and breasts have grown considerably compared to the past.”
“… … surely.”
The elves I saw here had larger-than-average breasts than I’d seen in the game.
Was there a reason for that?
“Above all, I am a half-elf. I don’t know if it’s a normal elf. Half-elves like me can’t survive on grass.”
“There are various reasons.”
“I mean?”
Then, food was placed in front of us. The cooking time was really short.
“and! meat! Gregory! bon appetite!”
“Yeah, enjoy your meal too.”
Rosé, who grabbed the end of the tomahawk steak, bit off the meat with a refreshing bite.
I wonder if anyone will see that figure as an elf.
“hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… … No, nothing.”
After that, work was as usual. After-dinner bread.
“Puha! After all, the saying, “Immortal immortality after a meal” is true!”
Smoke comes out with a booming sound. Every time I see something like this, I feel like nothing but trash.
“Rosé. Those guys, don’t they look like they’re looking at us now?”
“hmm? who?”
I glanced at the guys behind us with my eyes.
These were the guys I saw behind the restaurant building a few days ago.
“Well, when you smoke, you make eye contact and say hello later.”
“That’s school ties, delays, and smoking. What is it?”
“oh. You know pretty well, don’t you?”
It was a story I heard every day when I was in the military in the original world.
I didn’t know that it would work in this world.
“Then do you mean those guys are trying to make friends with us?”
“Well, it could be. So, where do we smoke this and go?”
“The President’s Office.”
”… … yes? Where?”
“We go to the president’s office.”
Rosé was taken aback by the word “president’s office,” but immediately looked at me and smiled.
“If it’s Gregory-sama, there won’t be any problems.”
“It is good faith.”
The President’s office located in the main building. As we got off the elevator, a member of the lead team we saw yesterday and a man we hadn’t seen before stood in our way.
“… … What brought you to the president’s office?”
Their eyes are full of hostility. It seems that what happened today spread among the leading members.
“I have an appointment with the president. If you don’t believe me, tell the president that Gregory Jones is here.”
The leading member who heard my words noticed the leading member behind me.
Then, another leading member knocked on the president’s office.
“President. Gregory Jones is here.”
[Let it in.]
The voice of the principal came from inside. Then, as if displeased, the leading member who blocked us opened his mouth.
“… … Go in.”
“Thank you. Let’s go, Rose.”
“yes!”
As I entered the president’s office, I saw the president holding his head.
“I didn’t expect that as soon as I said that I would be allowed to enter the Young Yak High School, he would come to visit me the very next day.”
“I tend to value getting things done quickly.”
“… … is that so. Is that Miss Roger von Euglia, Gregory Jones’ summoner?”
“yes! My name is Roger von Euglia!”
When her name was called, Rose, who was nervous, bowed her waist at 90 degrees and said hello.
Seeing this, the principal laughed.
“nice to meet you. really… … You have a great summoner.”
“lol… … .”
It seems like he was trying to give a compliment, but Rosé was really shy as if he had heard it as a compliment.
“The reason you came to see me is probably because of the opening of the Spiritual Medicine High School, right?”
“Yes, because the Young Yak High School would not open without the president.”
“It’s a secret that only those who know it know, but how the hell do you know… … .”
The president shook his head, stood up from his seat, and shook his head.
The outfit of Merlin, the president who stood up, was quite unusual.
The design of the clothes, which seemed to have been remodeled from priestly uniforms, made her mysterious appearance even more mysterious.
“… … let’s go As a young medicine school.”
With her hands in her pockets, we boarded the elevator.
The president inserts the key that was hanging around his neck into the keyhole at the bottom of the elevator floor button and turns it.
Then, an invisible button on the 5th floor appeared in front of my eyes.
“Are you curious? Since it’s the academy’s magic academy, we paid attention to security.”
The elevator started moving with a rattling sound.
5th floor
3rd Floor
First floor
B1
B3
B5
The elevator finally stops when it reaches the 5th basement floor.
The elevator door opened, and a majestic iron door appeared in front of us.
“This is the academy’s magic arsenal. It is a place with an elixir as a reward for students who shine the academy. … … There are cases where it is given in special cases.”
“Is this the end of security?”
“Please. It is said that the door is made of iron, but it is still insufficient.”
When the president put his fingers together and blew a whistle, the sound of chains dragging was heard.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Gurrr… … .
A threatening sound from a beast comes from the hole in the side of the door.
sound getting closer. What finally appeared was a huge three-headed dog that could have been three meters tall.
“Cerberus. He is the watchman who protects the academy’s elixir vault.”
Cerberus. A summoned beast that specializes in protecting something.
Looking at Cerberus drooling and glaring at us. I grinned.
“You look cute.”
