24. Trial of Regular Champions (4)
– You must have come up by luck without any skills. Do you think C-class dungeons are a joke? Why don’t you drop out before you get embarrassed?
The woman people referred to as ‘Vera’ was blatantly sarcastic.
“Well, that bitch that looks like moldy dough… !”
Along with the clamoring people, Mercy also got angry.
He even sat on my shoulder and punched me in the air.
I slightly turned my head to check the other picture mirror.
I couldn’t see number 4 because it was too far away, but I could see up to number 3.
Coincidentally, Vera’s party was number 3.
Vivian, Helena, and Lucia couldn’t react right away to the fairly sudden quarrel.
Among the group, Vivian was the first to step out.
The people who were watching together were making a fuss.
Vivian’s appearance just now didn’t suit this situation at all.
While watching how she turns out.
-sorry… !
Vivian was the first to bow down and apologize.
-We must pass the test! I don’t think there will be a stopover… .
He spoke boldly to her at the beginning, but later he seemed to be ashamed again, and his words were muffled.
‘Is it a strategy that makes it impossible to spit on a smiling face?’
I respectfully apologize for my territorial attitude, so it would be difficult to provoke it further.
It could be a frustrating situation, but perhaps thanks to Vivian’s personality, the onlookers rather cheered her on.
The absurdity shown earlier and the good heart were harmonized.
Everyone seemed to be fascinated by Vivian’s unique gentle atmosphere.
-her… .
The other party was also unexpected, so they only shed a laugh.
To that, Vivian continued to speak.
-that… ! I think you may feel uncomfortable with us since you have already taken the test several times. It is true that we receive excessive attention compared to the period of time we have been active.
… what is this
Is it a high-level turnaround?
How many times have you failed in the official exam, so why are you pretending to be proud, isn’t it something like this?
-But we got the qualifications to take the exam fairly and squarely, and we were determined to pass.
Given Vivian’s personality, probably not.
She would be genuinely considering and understanding the other person.
‘Am I saying this is pure evil?’
-I made a promise to our manager. You are still watching.
Vivian smiled as she said that.
In a way, it was a very wise response to alleviate unnecessary conflict.
However, the opponent was much worse than Vivian’s common sense.
-what the. What are you talking about, are you kidding us?
– Yes, Neue? Oh no… . Because it’s not… ? Why do you think so… ?
-And that guy named Ian. Isn’t that a bug that got kicked out of the 1st party?
-… what?
-Philippe is that guy too? Isn’t that a bit strange? If you’re really that great, why would you get kicked out? Wouldn’t that be insignificant in reality? It’s obvious if you think about it even a little bit, but stupid kids like you will be fooled by such things.
-… … .
“Growl… .”
Kati in her arms bared her teeth.
Since he had the momentum to attack that dungeon right away, he gently stroked his hair.
“it’s okay.”
“Huh… . Do you want to die?”
Mercy tilted her head as if it was absurd.
“Saying such a thing in front of Vivian… .”
The words he muttered were drowned out by the clamor of people.
The whole surroundings are in an uproar as if to kill that Vera right away.
The noise that penetrates the ears is enough to make the body ring.
I sneakily looked in the mirror number 3, and the other side was also noisy.
It’s so noisy that it’s hard to distinguish the sound, but it seems like cheering.
‘Isn’t this going to lead to fights between people cheering for other parties?’
When I turned my head again, Lucia slipped out and pushed Vivian back.
A shadow fell over Vivian’s face for a moment, and her eerie eyes glared at Vera.
It was the look on Felix’s face when he tried to kill me.
-Well, although we may not like it. Even bringing in people from the outside seems to be nothing more than forcing us to find fault with us after all.
Lucia said leisurely.
It wasn’t even polite.
Considering the competition in the ranks of the Fiorene family, this situation might be funny to Lucia.
-I don’t know because it’s been a while since I became a warrior. I heard that warriors prioritize their skills over their careers.
It was what I said, and it was true.
It doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been active.
A B-class warrior who has been active for 1 year, and an E-class warrior who has been active for 5 years.
Of course, B-class warriors are much more favored and respected.
-By the way?
-I don’t know how many times you failed the test. We’ll pass this test in one go. then… .
Lucia crossed her arms and smiled viciously.
-Isn’t arguing with us rather suicidal? to that
It was no different from saying that if there is a complaint, let’s have a fight here.
Certainly, she is talented in many ways.
If you look at how well you respond in this situation.
Cheers spread among the onlookers, and Lucia’s name was chanted.
“Lucia! Lucia!”
“Yeah, Vivian, you don’t have to say anything bad! Because Lucia will do it for you!”
-It seems like you don’t know where I am just because I became famous.
Vera drew her sword and glared at it.
-I know. You don’t know how good and thankful I am for all of you supporting me. If you twist, will you meet the manager well?
Lucia made a leisurely sarcastic remark without even raising a weapon.
-ah. But our manager doesn’t care about weak and mean kids like you. sorry.
– This bastard!
Unbearable, Vera kicked the ground and ran.
Accompanied by people’s screams, Vera arrived right in front of Lucia at once.
Even then, Lucia hadn’t pulled out her sword, but she wasn’t defenseless.
‘He’s aiming for a swordsmanship.’
A technique thoroughly specialized in surprise attacks.
Lucia was aiming for it.
However.
– It’s dangerous!
A soft yellow curtain covered Lucia’s front.
Thinking Lucia was late, Helena intervened.
Vera had already swung her sword, and Helena’s protection blocked it.
thud!
With an explosion that made the ground shake, Vera disappeared.
“… … .”
An awkward silence settled in the hall.
Not everyone knew what was going on right away.
That is why, Vera was thrown back by the anti-resilience of the protection.
The force of the bounce was so strong that it seemed as if it had disappeared right in front of my eyes.
– aaagh!
Vera’s scream, which was moving away, notified the fact belatedly.
“What, what, just… . What happened?”

Just like this confused person, Vera’s group on the screen seemed to be confused as well.
It must be the first time in my life to see such protection.
-thanks.
Lucia grinned and gently stroked the back of Helena’s head.
-This, what, uh, Vera… .
The rest of the party hesitated, then awkwardly tried to back away.
That moment.
-Where are you going?
Vivian’s cool voice caught them.
When she stepped out with her head slightly lowered and winked, a huge wall of ice rose from behind Vera and the others.
It was ‘Ice Wall’ that Vivian had recently mastered.
The problem was that the ice wall was almost like a castle wall.
– Apologize and go.
said Vivian as if warning.
-Our manager, Ian, you have to apologize for insulting me before I can go.
-That, that’s Vera… .
-That’s not something I care about.
There was no more cutie Vivian on the screen.
His cold, sunken eyes looked at the rest of Vera’s party as if scanning a target.
A moment of hesitation.
-Kugung… . coo… .
A loud vibrating sound spread from somewhere on the screen.
It was hard to know which direction it was from here, outside.
However, I was able to know the direction thanks to the characters on the screen feeling puzzled and turning their heads.
It was the direction Vera flew.
-Kooung… .
The vibrations are getting closer.
– Fast, fast, fast… .
with the sound of trees breaking.
– Heh, heh heh… .
Vera, covered in blood as if injured, appeared limping.
followed by
-Pasasasasat… .
A huge scorpion appeared.
It was a monster identified by the guild, a giant jungle scorpion.
The dark brown scorpion was so tall that its tail reached the tops of the trees in the jungle.
The tongs seemed to be able to pick up about 10 people at once.
– Do, help me… .
Vera collapsed.
“Heo-eok-!”
“monster… ? Is that a monster?”
“It’s not huge… .”
The onlookers caught their breath.
Some of them seemed to be seeing monsters for the first time.
“I can fight against something like that and win… ?”
I just had such doubts.
The person facing the huge scorpion right now was too small.
That worry was in vain.
Before Vera’s party could do anything.
– Kwadeuk!
Ice flowers bloomed under the scorpion’s feet.
By the time the scorpion’s leg, which had a sharp cross section, was cut off.
– Kwabababak!
Huge ice spears flew all at once and pierced the scorpion.
-Kick, Kiik… .
The scorpion trembled and let out a moan.
However, the lightning that fell from the sky that followed indifferently trampled even the dying horse.
-bang!
The lightning bolt that pierced the carapace opened by the ice spear exploded the scorpion along with the structure of the ice flower.
Green bodily fluids and the fragmented body of the scorpion fell.
-Wow… .
Lucia admired lowly, and Helena swallowed too.
Until then, Vivian hadn’t even looked at the scorpion.
The gaze, still fixed on Vera’s party, returned to Vera, who was covered in green bodily fluid.
– I apologize for what I said earlier.
The weight of the horse has changed.
