Chapter 154
Trivial and insignificant things are not taken seriously!
That is the philosophy of Michelle Whistinil!
But she, too, frowned, contemplating what to do this time.
“Wow! It’s not usually a fuss.”
I took a quick look at the forest that served as the stage for the test site from above.
traces of detonation.
It looks like a battlefield. And the shattered or burned remains of low-level demons.
“… … It was ruined while I slept for a while.”
He was sweating and muttering.
It wasn’t particularly difficult because of the test scores.
If it was a test, I was relaxed, and in fact, I wasn’t interested.
Low-level competition is not very motivated.
I don’t know if it’s a place where many people are watching.
That’s why I only secured the score on the line where I won’t be scolded and kicked it out.
A common joke.
“I fell asleep in a flash, but I never thought it would turn out like this.”
If it was her usual, it turned into a mess that made her laugh out loud.
Doesn’t the high-level skeleton, which is not ordinary at first glance, eliminate the freshmen?
Even when the skeleton ran into Michelle, she ignored her.
At first, I almost got annoyed because I wanted to do something, but I soon found out why.
“This is Xian’s work.”
It’s probably because he excluded himself from being attacked.
It was clear that Xian had kept children he knew, like himself, out of the skeleton’s attack.
So, unwilling to disturb him, I decided to leave him alone.
More than anything.
“… … I thought watching him was a way to do the favors of the grandpas.”
In this test, Michelle’s standing on the sidelines was half of her intention.
A letter from the Forest of Wisdom.
That was the reason.
“Honestly, I thought you would nag me to come back.”
Originally, I didn’t even want to read the letter, but I couldn’t help it because of Xian’s request last time.
However, what was written in the letter was a request that even she could not understand.
From noble mtl dot com
“Watch the end of the midterm evaluation? Is there a sinister manipulator of fate here? … … What the hell are you talking about?”
The handwriting and seals of the elders of the Forest of Wisdom were stamped on it, so it was impossible to just ignore it.
“No, at least write down the reason… … . damn grandpa.”
As we get older, conversation becomes scarce.
You don’t know if you don’t tell me? Michelle pouted and decided to carry out the request she received.
It wasn’t just because of the gold coins that came with the letter.
After all, city life requires money.
It’s like a scary city life.
“The decision to watch Xi’an was correct, but… … .”
To be precise, Elcia Lyoleate, who seems to have had some sort of exchange with Xian recently.
“I know that the Lyoleites are a handful.”
I knew about the darkness of Liolet Street.
To be precise, it was because I had heard about the unique ability that originated from it.
Well, that wasn’t even magic, so it wasn’t much of an interest to Michelle.
If you do something irritating, just break it and that’s it.
‘… … Perhaps that’s the purpose of Xi’an.’
I was a little hesitant to see Elcia Lyoleate fighting to the death with an outsider who had nothing to do with the test.
Should I intervene or not?
There were no specific instructions in the damn letter.
When the girl who looked like an enemy turned into a monster, he tried to prepare to intervene just in case.
It was soon sorted out as Xian appeared.
“… … Would you like to reply?”
Did he send a message simply to confirm the deviation of the Liolet family?
Doubtful, Michelle pondered for a moment.
There was no way I would send an order to watch because of a stupid act by a person in power.
Michelle, who grumbles that they are anachronistic old people, admits that as well.
‘or not… … Other?’
Michelle noticed something else.
very faintly.
“oh!”
She barely noticed the feeling of incongruity that was just emerging.
“Ahahahaha! Did you really try to fool my senses?”
Smile with a mixture of enlightenment and curiosity.
“Whoever you are, you’re arrogant.”
When the monster disappeared and the remnants scattered, I felt a sense of incongruity.
The residue flows in the direction where the wind does not blow.
certain direction.
Something specific mixed with the remnant is being moved.
“Wow! Something must be bothering you.”
maybe this is it
Confident, Michelle tracked down the slight discrepancy and arrived at that point.
The farthest corner of the exam hall.
There is something there.
‘What is this?’
The most bizarre thing was that she had seen her since she was in the forest, but this was something she hadn’t expected at all.
There is someone.
No, can I call it someone?
It was fog.
The fog was a strange mixture of many colors.
five colors.
Red, blue, green, white, black.
The colors were mixed to form something resembling a human figure.
‘Concealment? no… … . It seems a bit different from that.’
Should I call it a person?
At least it was making gestures of intelligence.
Strangely, the fog man is collecting the remnants of the monster that Xian defeated a while ago.
[It’s strange… … . I was going to harvest today, but at least it wasn’t this kid.]
I was muttering my doubts.
There was undoubtedly intelligence.
[Not Elcia, but Milian? … … I tried to retrieve it at some point, but this order is still strange, isn’t it? … … Besides, why did that child’s skill regain its color here? Is it a coincidence?]
Words that I can’t understand.
[I thought it was messed up. … … Like Celidia Milonil, Alpine is also under a strange influence. … … What happened?]
The names muttered were definitely the names of the freshmen of the 83rd class.
‘… … what? that?’
Michelle was worried.
came to a conclusion immediately.
That’s not something to do with curiosity alone.
Obviously it was in the letter. Watch.
If that’s what the Elder of the Forest of Wisdom said about, what to watch?
‘I’d rather not touch it.’
Although Michelle was a ostentatious girl, she was not stupid.
Isn’t it true that you have to bite and eat to know if something is poisonous or not?
‘Dangerous.’
The magic to conceal the presence has already been cast.
Even a fairly experienced wizard would not be able to easily recognize Michelle’s existence.
If you don’t do anything like this.
But Michelle soon realized that that judgment was mistaken.
[Is that Michelle Whistinil watching?]
I almost coughed in surprise for a moment.
I certainly wouldn’t have made a sound.
Even a wild animal with good senses would not have noticed it.
[If you have business, would you like to come out and tell me? … … Well, that probably won’t be the case.]
The Mist Man beckoned.
In an instant, everything in the spot where Michelle was hiding freezes and crumbles into powder as if crystallized.
‘What, what?! It’s not magic!’
If it’s a similar phenomenon, there is a unique skill of the Riolate family, but it is also fundamentally different from that.
It was even worse and more ominous.
“Because of this! I don’t like the favors of those old people!”
Judgment was quick.
Michelle’s conclusion is one.
He takes out his wand and quickly casts a spell to activate it as if it were about to explode.
I wondered if the five orbs of flame around the mist man were swelling like flower buds.
It explodes.
“Smash or throw me away!”
– Flame Flower.
Fire magic equivalent to Circle 5.
She activated and detonated as many as five of them in a row.
It was so powerful that even a moderate amount of monsters would not remain in shape.
Still, the sense of crisis did not disappear.
Throw a stone at the orc. Will it work properly?
feels like that.
“It’s strange… … . What kind of monsters are roaming around the academy?”
[This is a sad word. Michelle Whistinil. you’re a monster I almost got a little sad. But understand. If I were in your position, I would say that.]
The flame goes out.
As expected, the fog man stands still and grumbles.
[don’t worry. I can’t kill humans.]
“What bullsh*t… … .”
[Because it’s such a restriction. I don’t know if they don’t have intelligence, but I can’t pose a threat to anything with a soul right now.]
“Would you believe that?”
Of course I can’t believe it.
The elders of the forest taught that the most dangerous thing is a monster that claims to be harmless.
That’s exactly what it is.
[But it’s embarrassing. I shouldn’t have seen it yet, but is this also messed up?]
“… … What are you talking about.”
[I have no intention of telling you. … … And I can’t let you remember this day. Michelle Whistinil.]
“You said you couldn’t hurt me?”
[Is it harmful to make me not remember today?]
It’s also downright dangerous.
can you run away
What if you could get someone’s help by earning even a brief reprieve?
I tried to think of a way, but neither of them was as good.
[then… … .]
The Mist Man walks.
Whether or not Michelle decided to run away as much as possible, it was time to raise her magic power.
“Move only three steps to the side. It’s just covered.”
the boy’s voice.
Michelle did not hesitate and threw herself to the side as instructed.
At close intervals, a bone spear flies from behind her and pierces the Mist Man.
“draft! Magic doesn’t work on that monster! Run away right now!”
“know. … … I know better than anything that can’t work.”
Cian, who appeared gritting his teeth at Michelle’s warning, clicked his tongue and watched the mist man.
“Did that also exist?”
* * *
It was Emily who told me about the strange flow after subduing Milian.
“Sian, after that monster was destroyed, the remnants are heading in a strange direction.”
“… … Where is it going?”
It would be difficult to see it as a coincidence.
I had a guess.
What if the conditions were met by chance? maybe it is
And when I went to the place Emily had sensed, it was there too.
“I don’t know why Michelle is fighting with that.”
Come to think of it, I didn’t see this guy throughout the exam. I thought he was going to be playing around or doing something else.
“Yeah, that’s what it means. Ahahahaha… … .”
“it’s okay. i’ll ask later … … The problem is that monster.”
“okay! that! Xian, in case you know… … .”
“doesn’t exist. Not really this time.”
I’m sorry for Michelle, but this time she didn’t have anything to answer.
It’s not ignorance.
Probably no one who has played the game can tell about its identity.
‘Because it’s a boss that’s not mounted.’
This is the story of the time when this world was called the game ‘Love Story’ at the time.
As with any game, especially if it’s a recently released game, it doesn’t simply end all content with an ending.
Additional Content.
DLC, to be honest.
Of course, there was no choice but to release bosses and challenges of higher difficulty.
Around the time the 3rd DLC was released, a post was posted on the official website at the time.
＜A dummy data was found. It seems that he is still an undeployed boss.＞
＜Isn’t it plain to be a boss?＞
＜Looking at it, if you shave blood, don’t you claim that ‘I transform!’?＞
What was introduced like that was the nameless existence in front of me.
It was a strange monster whose whole body was made of multi-colored fog.
A boss who doesn’t even know the name because even the file name is ＜?????＞.
But around that time, a bug was discovered in the game.
For some reason, that monster appeared at the end of each scenario.
It was noisy over whether or not it was leaked, but in the end the controversy was settled down to the fact that it was a bug.
The reason was simple.
couldn’t knock it down
No interaction was possible, and no damage could be inflicted.
‘I wondered if it would appear if it had been applied.’
The question is how to accept this.
This is uncharted territory.
Ultimately, it wasn’t released.
After that, I became ‘Xian’, so now I can’t know even if I want to know.
‘As expected, the attack doesn’t seem to work.’
I overheard what Michelle said. You can’t kill a being with a soul?
‘What the hell does that mean?’
I care.
I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that I shouldn’t leave it alone.
[uh? uh uh uh uh uh?]
What was even more surprising?
[draft? Maybe that idea?]
Why is that monster looking at me and wondering?
[It’s strange. Why does cyan come out?]
Well, why?
i’m more curious
