69 – The Brutal Reality
“Quuck!”
What am I doing?
eyes are stained red loss of body strength The sword held in both hands felt particularly heavy. The man in front of me feels terrifying as if I were looking at a monster.
“ha… ha… .”
Ryan Primal.
As the eldest son of the Primal family, I heard rumors that he was strong.
As soon as I heard that he was the one who stopped the magic that Principal Skaya blew away in the past, and that he was the top entrant in the academy entrance exam, I thought he was a great guy, so I thought of making a connection.
But I’m not a title that only works within that academy, I’m a hero.
A hero who is said to appear only once as a pair with the Demon King in a generation.
He is a person who exists in a different dimension from the Emperor of the Empire and the Popes of the Church. A saint chosen by the Goddess herself.
that’s me
A perfect, invincible being is a hero.
By the way… But why am I rolling on the floor right now?
“Wake up.”
It’s not me looking down over there, why is that guy!
As I tightened my grip, I stood up using my sword as a staff and caught the image of Lian Primal in my eyes.
It’s a light outfit that’s completely different from mine, but I can’t see a single wound. I can’t even see the scratches on the other side of the armor with my own eyes.
I can not admit it.
what is that girl What a great person that guy is that he can look down on the hero like this!
The pattern on the back of the hand emits light. Originally, the well-known ability as a hero’s trump card is manifested according to my will.
“Break the limits… It hasn’t been long since the pattern appeared, so you don’t know what will happen if you use it?”
“I don’t know! What is the need to know that!”
The whole body’s magic power dwells.
Golden magic infuses power into the whole body.
It is a feeling that has become omnipotent.
“… After all, you have no qualities.”
endowment? The pattern on the back of the hand was enough. What more qualities do you need?
kill it I will kill that child in front of me no matter what.
It accepts the mana flowing from the back of its hand, draws runes for the first time in its life, and manifests magic.
Fire!!
Red flames entwine around the sword.
It’s the first magic I’ve ever used, but with the help of the warrior’s pattern, it’s power is incomparable to B-class students who have quite a bit of power.
can kill
As soon as I thought that, Lian Primal drew a rune in front of me.
Not the simple runes I drew, but runes that look complex to anyone who sees them, drawn by Lian Primal’s hand… manifested
“ah… .”
a blue flame
A flame that is two levels higher than the flame I created hovers around the line primal and takes away the heat from my flame in an instant.
Why are you doing this?
i am a warrior If you forgive… You can’t lose to that guy.
In the end, the flame, which had lost all its heat, disappeared without leaving even a remnant or evidence of its existence there.
“It is over.”
End… ? That it ends so stupidly?
didn’t do anything Before I could properly swing my sword, I was hit by that guy’s attack and beaten unilaterally.
With the pattern of the hero, he somehow brought out the means of magic, but even without the pattern of the hero, he knew how to use much better magic than me.
If this… If this… .
“Does Lian Primal look much more like a warrior?”
Quick.
The thread of reason broke when one of the audience brought out a fact that they had been struggling to deny.
“aaa!!!!”
die! die! kill it!!!!
“Being angry is something you should never do in a fight. Attacks that lose their sanity become monotonous, lose their virtuosity, and only power remains.”
Lian Primal flings my attacks with his sword and throws advice at me.
Heat rises at the tone of voice that seems to tell you that the other side is the top.
“What the hell are you!!”
The hero is me!
You are just an academy student!!
“So it won’t work.”
kang!
My sword was broken by Lian’s attack. No, it was cut.
The cutting edge of the sword seemed to return to its original state if it was neatly cut as if it had been cut by magic.
“Just because you’re a hero doesn’t mean you become incredibly strong.”
“Don’t be mean… The warrior is the perfect agent of the goddess! It’s not something a human like you can measure!!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. There is no such thing as a perfect creature in this world.”
Having said that, Lian Primal swung his sword.
It was a beautiful blow. A dark purple sword flew in and struck me straight into my body.
“Kuhheh!!”
The armor barely stopped it, but it seems impossible to stop it any longer. The state of the armor was already more than me, and the shield through the magic stone was almost completely consumed by the first attack.
“Now, your thoughts just broke, right?”
teeth are grinding
As Ryan Primal said. The fact that the hero was flawless just now broke so easily that it was absurd. I just don’t want to believe it.
Even though I was chosen as a hero, the fact that I am so weak… .
“No, I can’t admit it!!!”
I follow the traces of the magic circuit faintly left in my hand. It was an act that I only knew as a concept… I’d be willing to do anything to kill that guy.
The mana created by the pattern of the warrior on the back of the hand flows into the magic circuit… !!!!!
“Kwaaa”
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!!!
His vision was stained bright red, and blood flowed from his nose.
I barely hold on to what was about to go out of my mind due to the pain beyond my expectations.
I took painkillers and medicines prepared for my molars, barely managed to calm the pain and lift my head.
Then, there was Lian Primal looking at me with sympathetic eyes.
“I’m sorry… you also.”
who is pitiful?
I don’t understand what Ryan Primal meant.
“If I hadn’t become a hero, I wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble.”
“… hardship?”
“Okay, don’t you think we could have just lived a comfortable life doing stupid things if we hadn’t been chosen as heroes?”
What if I hadn’t been chosen as a hero?
When you think of him as a hero, he seems really great, but when you consider that he is a member of an imperial marquis family, he is not a person of inferior rank. Besides, if he graduates from the academy, he will have a good life as long as he goes to social clubs in the family and makes good relationships and becomes the son-in-law of Daryl.
But the life of a warrior… ?
“How many years will you be as a hero? No, you’ll have to suffer for decades. There must be a lot of chances of being killed by monsters. Otherwise, demons or demons will rush to kill you. You might be threatened every night by assassins of royalty or nobles from small countries who do not want the empire to grow.”
I couldn’t help but imagine when I heard Lian speak calmly as if it had happened.
What if those words turn out to be true?
“Hoo-wook… Whoop… !”
breathing becomes rough
I suddenly imagined it.
In a situation where you are more injured than now, you have to do a 1v1 situation with the monsters you saw during the practical test?
It’s impossible. Absolutely impossible.
“Can you still hold a sword?”
“eww… OMG… .”
My eyes shake.
The scene around them changed and a monster appeared in front of them.
[Hee hee hee… !!]
“Aww!!!”
It was a monster.
The figure of the one-eyed monster gave strength to its heavy body and tried to run away, but the monster stretched out its huge hand towards me and lifted me up.
[Don’t run away!]
The more I look at the yellow eyes, the more my body trembles.
You want to fight against something like this?
It’s been a long time since I threw a black monster on the floor as soon as I saw it in my hand. There was no way to fight.
“Sah, live… . Help me… .”
[Let’s play!!]
Wooo!!!
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed.
Surely, until just now, I would have been in a dark space with a white one-eyed monster, but this time it turned into a place floating on top of a lake.
“what happened… .”
with a splash!!
In the distance, a huge object could be seen popping up from under the water.
A monster with red eyes and a huge mouth was eating humans.
“Keah!! Help me!!! Warrior please… please live… .”
Kwadeuk. Quadduk.
The one person who had been calling me and hoping for salvation disappeared in an instant into the monster’s jaws.
Looking at the scene, there was nothing I could do but stand there in a daze.
“Kyaaac!!”
“Help me!!”
“Hero!!!”
People dying over and over again call out my name.
do you need help?
how can i help
“Please defeat that monster!!!”
“… Can you defeat that monster?”
In his hand was a golden sword he had never seen before. It was such a famous sword that it would be a shame to compare it with the sword he had been using until now.
However… I don’t think I can defeat that monster.
“Wh-I can’t… .”
How are you going to beat that?
I hadn’t even fought it yet, but I was pretty sure I couldn’t win.
“What are you talking about… .”
Kwajik!
The person who was shouting at me burst into red blood and turned into a corpse.
I averted my eyes from that appearance and ran away.
I wish I hadn’t become a warrior.
Thinking so, I ran away, ignoring the screams and scolding I heard from behind.
The warrior is not invincible. That fact was thrust upon me so cruelly.
Well… That was a reality check, but a little bit a little bit little bit little bit little bit little bitlittle bit little bit
