37 – Archabug – 37
To be honest, my body might really be made of swords.
The carapace that surrounds my body has durability comparable to that of metal.
Maybe that’s all, the thorns on my hands are like saws.
In fact, every time my hand and his arm met, I could hear the sound of metal clattering.
“… … You f*cking worm!”
“That’s such a discriminatory statement against bugs.”
In this world, bug-type demons are no different from intelligent beings.
But why is it so openly discriminatory? As a bug, I couldn’t forgive him.
“—Gregory kind. Gregory Punch.”
“I’m just leaving!”
“Since I am the founder of the Gregory style, making technology is also my heart. —Gregory kick.”
He blocks a kick from below with his gauntlet.
As expected, it has the ability to be summoned as a summoned beast. Do you mean this?
“From what I can see, he seems to have made quite a name for himself in the original world.”
“Did you notice now?! I punished a few dragons.”
Kang! And the wooden sword falls on my hand.
After crossing the top two arms to block the sword, strike the guy’s side with the middle arm and scratch the guy’s side with the thorn.
─Kigigiggeek!
Sparks fly from the guy’s side.
“Keugh! Having six arms is a scam!”
“Gregorian Asura (阿修羅).”
Now I’ve reached the point where I can’t say anything.
To be honest, I didn’t even know I was enjoying myself a little.
It might have been because his level was just right for sparring.
“Okay, try blocking it one more time.”
The guy who had stepped back grabbed the sword with both hands and took a deep breath.
Little by little, little by little. A red aura begins to form on the guy’s wooden sword.
“Dragon Kill”
It was a skill used by summoned beasts with the Dragon Slayer title.
This is a bit dangerous.
“Take the slash that killed the dragon.”
A red aura comes crashing into my head. I didn’t know if I was hit by something like this, it might turn into a wheel/wheel.
[Skill: Explosive Speed]
Concentrating all the senses in my body, I read the guy’s sword path and twisted my body.
However, it was judged that perfect avoidance was impossible with this body, which had grown a little with the wheel form.
“transform.”
Quickly change into human form to evade.
And at the same time, a tremendous frenzy raged on the left.
Fortunately, it was successful in avoiding it.
“You avoid this like this?!”
Yes, if you twist it, you will transform too.
A powerful attack causes that much delay.
[Skill: Explosive Speed]
Accelerating the speed with the skill, I hit the guy’s wrist as hard as I could with the wooden sword in my right hand.
“Cheak!”
Even though it was blocked by the gauntlet, the shock went in properly, and eventually the sword was lost.
“Until there.”
Missing the sword in swordsmanship sparring means defeat.
Marvas shouted as he looked at us.
“The winner is Gregory Jones.”
“It is a natural result.”
“… … I will turn.”
The knight with a depressed expression hahahaha. I laughed.
I reached out to the guy who was still with his butt on the ground.
“It was strong.”
“… … okay.”
Fortunately, the guy who holds my hand. Just like that, I raised him up.
“Your name?”
“Ah, haven’t you told me my name yet? My name is Georgius. He was both a soldier and a knight.”
Was he also named?
Certainly, if it was St. George, he was a guy who was full and overflowing as a summoned beast.
“Yes, Georgius. It would be nice to mix the swords often.”
“… … Don’t you guys mix your fists?”
“I can’t help it. That’s the best swordsmanship. It’s like Gregory.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Georgius shook his head in amazement. Well, since the name is too long, let’s call it George.
After saying goodbye and parting ways, I headed towards Rosé, who was still sparring.
“Oh, it’s great here too.”
The confrontation between the two elves was a good subject to attract people’s attention, so quite a lot of people gathered.
“You’re doing quite well! this column… … Rosé!”
“Miss Elena is amazing!”
If George and I were exchanging heavy battles, this side was exchanging quick swords.
Continued evasion and attacks.
Looking at the workshops of the two, the level of swordsmanship seemed to be similar.
“Hmm, it will be over soon.”
Marvas, who was standing behind me, said that while stroking my chin.
“Is it over soon?”
“Yeah, I don’t know about you.”
I wonder if it’s a level that can be seen once you reach a certain level.
As he nodded his head as a sign of understanding and silently watched the two elves play, he seemed to see something.
“I will finish it now. Rosé.”
“hahahaha… … mandible… … Please come!”
Unlike Elena, who was breathing at least, Rosé was breathing heavily.
Elena leaned down, tilting her center of gravity forward.
Elena runs towards Rose with quick steps. Rosé, who is still exhaling and exhaling, prepares to defend herself while watching the scene.
“Fall down!”
A sword attack from the bottom up. Rosé’s sword, which was pointed down for defense, spun in the air and stuck to the ground.
“ha… … . ha… … . I lost.”
Rose, who glanced at the sword stuck in the ground, looked at Elena and smiled.
A smile that is still innocent.
Rosé, who could smile like that even after losing in Dalian, looked amazing.
“… … It wasn’t bad.”
Seeing Rosé’s smile, Elena said that, then quickly turned around and walked towards her summoned beasts, Sylph and Undine.
‘amazing. Elena!’
‘It was great! By the way, you’ve become very kind to Miss Rose?’
‘Poem, noisy!’
He seemed to have come to his senses after the last true education.
“oh! Hey, Gregory! Bo, did you see it?”
Rosé blushed and began to panic, as if she had seen me in the middle of the crowd.
“Yeah, it was a great sparring.”
When I approached Rosé and said that, Rosé hurriedly lowered her head.
“Ugh… … .”
The red nape of his neck was visible under his bowed face.
“I still lost… … .”
He laughed well in front of Elena, but was embarrassed to show it to me.
“Still, haven’t you become stronger than you before the sparring? You are stronger than you were yesterday. Rather proud of it.”
“Is that so?”
He stroked the boy’s head, still unable to raise his head.
Rosé silently petting me. If you look at it this way, it really looks like a dog.
“It looks like our summoner needs physical training.”
“Ah, Master Marvas… … .”
Rosé quickly raised her head at the voice of Marvas. Marvas was smiling benevolently.
“They had similar skills, but the physical factor was the difference between them. Lack of practical experience also played a part.”
“Is that so… … .”
In the first place, it was Rose, a summoner and wizard. Rather, it would have been better if I had better physical strength than other students of my age, but it was not lacking.
Of course, Elena, who maintained her top grades, seemed to take care of her stamina separately.
“—Still.”
said Marvas.
“It’s been a while since I started swordsmanship, so I’m satisfied with it.”
“… … yes!”
Rosé’s eyes came alive. Because it was the compliment he received from Marvas, it seemed to touch him even more.
“Then, I will go and tell the other students what to fix. Good job.”
After moving to another place, Marvas said a word to the other students and ended the class.
“Class is over, class is over! Gregory! Let’s go smoke!”
As soon as I heard that the class was over, Rosé grabbed my hand and ran.
Rosé arrives at the smoking area.
As it is, take the pipe out of the pouch, insert the herbs, and light it.
“Paha! I will live! As expected, after rolling your body, you desperately need a cigarette!”
The expression on his face was really happy itself, so I nodded my head involuntarily.
“… … After all, you are here first.”
A clear voice came from the entrance of the smoking area.
“ah! Tequila! Welcome!”
Rosé, who was exhaling smoke, waved her hand happily.
“Yes, I’m glad you look healthy today.”
Saying that with a faint smile, she took a cigarette out of her pocket, put it in her mouth, and lit it.
Tequila was tobacco.
“Whoa… … . Oh, Roger. I still have something to tell you.”
“yes? to me?”
“I don’t think I will see you for a month or so. I’m going to go find a summoned beast soon.”
“ah… … . A new summon?”
“yes. After hearing Gregory’s words, I thought that we needed more powerful Undead. It’s good for me to sign a contract as a catalyst myself, but… … . There are still many summoned beasts hidden on this continent.”
It was as Tequila said.
In addition to summoning in the game, I was able to obtain powerful summons through the Continental Patrol Mission, and he seemed to be saying that he would probably do that.
The continent was vast, and there were plenty of summoned beasts enjoying games or living in seclusion.
Representatively, there were Marvas and Paimon.
“Isn’t it hard to meet the number of days you attend the academy in about a month?”
Rosé asked as if she was worried. In response, Tequila shook her head.
“Because I’m leaving to find a summoned beast. The academy also acknowledges attendance for about 30 days per semester in the name of ‘searching for summons’.”
“Oh, was there such a system?”
It was a fact that I saw at first glance while studying before I went to have a discussion with the president.
Certainly, it had to be a system that seemed necessary for a summoner academy. Because the strength of a summoner also comes from the summoned beast.
“Where are you planning to tour the area?”
At my question, Tequila removed the cigarette from her mouth and said.
“I’m thinking of going to the forest of the dead on the continent of Delinia. Because there seems to be strong undead there.”
Spirit Forest.
In the past, it was a forest where numerous countries waged war over resources there.
Thanks to this, the countless corpses piled up there made the forest of the dead.
“Certainly there must be a lot of undead there. hmm… … . Let me tell you a place I know.”
As it was a place I had visited several times in the past to obtain undead, I was also aware of the hidden gimmicks there.
“If you head west from the center of the Forest of the Dead, there will be a huge baobab tree. Dig under it and you’ll find a grave. Take a lily there and proceed with the contract. A good guy will help you.”
SR grade Death Knight. It was a way to summon the Demonic.
As a rough story, it was a place where a knight who lost his wife in the past war and wiped out a large army of the enemy country by himself slept, and if he brought a lily, a flower his wife liked, he would make a contract.
If the other guy didn’t leave, he’d be sleeping there.
Well, even if there is no contract, he will be sleeping in his own grave.
“… … that. That’s great information. Can you give me this information?”
Tequilaja, who was standing in a daze at the unexpected information, carefully asked me.
“Rose is not the one who handles the undead. Rather, if we give this information, it would be right to give it to you, who is kind to us.”
If Tequila had a talent for dealing with the undead, he would be able to sign a contract with him.
“… … thanks for the favor I will make sure to repay this grace later.”
“Yeah, just getting along with Rosé is enough.”
“That, Mr. Gregory!”
Was it too much like a parent? Rosé puffed out her cheeks as if she was embarrassed and glared at me.
What do you do though? This Gregory wants our Rosé to have many friends.
Of course, I didn’t say it out of my mouth.
Rosé and Tequila, who had finished smoking, said goodbye to each other in a month and hugged.
It’s a journey to find a summons… … . that wouldn’t be bad
“Rosé.”
“yes?”
On my way to take a magic class. When I called Rosé’s name, she pricked up her ears and turned to me.
“why?”
“What kind of summons do you like?”
“yes? Suddenly?”
Rose suddenly blushed.
“I-I mean that… … . I have manners… … . strong… … . Like Gregory… … .”
“No, something like the summoned tribe. Like demons, fairies, spirits.”
“Ahh… … ! You mean something like that?! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Rose suddenly spreads a fan with her right hand.
Why is he alone like this?
“hmm… … . Since there are two demons now… … . After all, a summoner’s romance is a dragon, right? Big, powerful. The first president who founded the Summoners Academy also handled dragons.”
“Dragon… … . Is it a dragon… … .”
“why? Where are you going to catch a dragon?”
“Well, that wouldn’t be too bad.”
“ha ha ha! Gregory. What a joke!”
No, it’s true.
“ruler! Hurry up and go to class! I’m late!”
Rosé, who sped up, took my hand and started walking toward the academy at a brisk pace.
Dragon… … . It’s a dragon… … .
Shall I catch one?
