25. Lucky!
#25. Lucky you!
“It’s already time for the original case to begin.”
I recalled the first incident while reading the original diary that I had recorded in the past while flipping through the notebook.
“Intervention… It would be better not to.”
An incident in which a monster escapes from a laboratory.
It was a minor incident as it was the beginning of the incident. However, it is important that the Hidden Peace is hidden here.
“Let’s just watch the academy for the time being.”
I should leave the academy alone.
It cannot grow properly if it is raised while protecting it.
I will prepare for the situation, but I will not intervene otherwise.
Because you have to grow while going through crises to acquire proper abilities.

The spring wind was blowing.
Petals were fluttering, birds were chirping.
Lee Soo-hyeok rarely gets sentimental, but today was a little different.
‘… Tomorrow, the Elixir presented by the Ares Guild as a condition of the contract will arrive.’
The price for signing a contract with the Ares Guild.
It was because one of them, a high-quality elixir, would arrive tomorrow.
Isn’t it possible that the delivery will be delayed? They said they would bring it directly from the Ares Guild… Yeah, that won’t happen.’
Lee Soo-hyeok is usually calm and composed.
Recently, there have been many embarrassing things that have caused me to lose my composure, but that is an exception.
Anyway… Rarely did he hold such high expectations.
“It’s not even an intermediate level, I thought I’d take a high-level elixir. You are lucky.”
From the advanced level, it is not possible to obtain just money.
Demand exceeds supply.
Anyway, because of that relationship, the price is higher than the mid-range, and some buyers are selectively sold.
‘… Although it’s a pity that I couldn’t buy the intermediate elixir because I flew it as an investment. I can forget about it now.’
Lee Soo-hyeok had the shock of blowing away hundreds of millions of dollars in his heart. However, the down payment received from Ares.
And the high-quality elixir to be consumed tomorrow.
I decided to forget about it neatly, thinking about the brilliant future that was about to unfold.
Because your future will be a flowery road now.
“By the way… It’s a bioanalysis club. Are you in the biological lab?”
Lee Soo-hyeok looked at a document in his hand and thought. It was a document that an instructor asked me to deliver instead because there was no time. It says the recipient is an advisor to the bioanalysis club.
“It’s annoying.”
According to the original plan, he went straight to the training room and tried to train his body with magic control training.
The training equipment he ordered just arrived, so he was thinking of using it. However… It was disappointing to see such a setback in my plan.
But Lee Soo-hyeok had fallen out of favor with the instructors recently (I don’t know why), so in order to make up for it, he had no choice but to obey.
If it wasn’t for that, I would have done it if I had to. Anyway.
‘I see it over there. I just need to quickly deliver the paperwork and go to the training room to do some training.’
Lee Soo-hyeok confirmed that he could see a biological laboratory in the far corner of his field of vision.
He ran quickly toward the laboratory.
And while he was running, he witnessed something jumping out in front of him.
Although the distance between himself and his laboratory was quite large, the distance was quickly shortened as he ran at great speed.
“… ?”
“… ?”
Lee Soo-hyeok was surprised and embarrassed, but he quickly rolled aside.
What surprised me was the protruding creature.
However, what he took was a completely different action from Lee Soo-hyuk.
“Keee-!
Unlike Lee Soo-hyeok, who rolled sideways to avoid bumping into him, the creature in front of him… So, the guy who looked like an elk started running towards Lee Soo-hyeok, turning around the curve again.
I suffered internal injuries while evading by rushing mana. sh*t.’
Lee Soo-hyeok thought the elk in front of him was a monster.
But why suddenly a monster in the biological lab?
Did the gate explode? Will there be an instructor?
Doubts subsided. Equanimity. His mind remains calm and he begins to search for what is most important now.
‘Avoid and subdue. Dangerous but… It’s worth doing.’
About half the size of an elk with brown fur.
Looking closely, it was Lord Dear, a C-class monster. He could have caught it if it was him, if he didn’t know if it was someone else. He was dubious because he had internal injuries, but this was an opportunity. Lee Soo-hyeok could not miss this opportunity.
‘Whoa… If I had taken the elixir, I wouldn’t have suffered internal injuries. I can’t help it. Goes.’
If you catch that monster, the instructor will personally give you some kind of reward, or if you are lucky, you may receive a prize.
It’s just that one C-class monster was released, but there are civilians living inside the academy. It’s not an ordinary thing to see monsters running around outside.
“Oh, uh! Dangerous! Hey what are you doing!”
Belatedly, the cadets ran out of the lab.
“Keee-!”
“Search.”
Lee Soo-hyeok stood up quickly and took out the sword he always wore around his waist and swung it. It was a real sword for cadets given to cadets by the academy.
He swung his sword, slightly avoiding Lord Deer’s rush towards him. You have to wield all your magical energy at once.
‘You’re lucky. I didn’t expect to hunt down a monster that popped out after coming to deliver the papers.’
Lee Soo-hyeok put his sword into the elk with a smile of repentance.
He was convinced that he had no choice but to die.
But… The sword got stuck.
‘Ah… internal injury. Damn it.’
It was because of internal injuries that the mana wasn’t injected properly. Because of that, Lee Soo-hyeok’s calculation was off. Thanks to this, Lord Dear was mortally wounded but did not die.
“Kieek. Kiek Kieee-!
And the extremely angry road deer pulled away for a while and then saw Lee Soo-hyuk and crashed him from the front.
Lee Soo-hyeok recalled the characteristics of Lord Dear, which he had learned in monster math class. The reason why he is also called Roadkill Dear.
– Angry Lord Deer’s charge is like a 1-ton truck speeding!
“Ah.”
From noble mtl dot com
I remembered the feature, but it was already too late.
Road Dear was already head to head with Lee Soo-hyuk. It’s not a one-hit punch, and I wondered how much power it would have at a distance like this… It was so f*cking great.
Quaang!
Lee Soo-hyuk’s body was hit by a road deer and flew through the air.
He flew away and crashed into the fountain in the middle of the academy flower bed.
“Cool. sh*t… At that time, only the elixir… Even if you ate.”
Lee Soo-hyeok recalled the elixir he hadn’t been able to eat because he ate it with stock before.
He must have forgotten… f*ck… f*ck….
Beginning of SJ Investment.
He passed out resenting SJ.
***
After defeating Lee Soo-hyuk, Road Dear used his remaining stamina to run away.
Cadets and instructors came out later, but Lord Deer had already gone into the bush and disappeared.
After reporting to the upper level, the instructor ordered the search by dividing the seven people into groups of two. One remaining cadet decided to move with him.
He emphasized that if a monster is found during a search, refrain from fighting and unconditionally locate the monster and then shout or call.
And at that point.
Cynthia was wandering around the academy grounds to get to her biological lab. She
She had been there a few times, so she walked around confidently… She lost her way.
“Where is this… ?”
She was obviously headed in the right direction, but as she came, she came into a strange bush.
The academy site was so large, and there was a forest in the site, so it wasn’t strange.
“I was definitely on the right track,” She said. It’s strange.”
Where is this place and where should I go? Cynthia couldn’t get her way.
But she knew. What to do when this happens!
“Still, there are ways to do this. Help me! A smart watch!”
Cynthia turned on her smartwatch and checked her map.
However, it was small and hard to see. Small, cloudy.
“Oh. Ah.”
Because it was old, the screen was small. I heard that the new model will be displayed as a hologram… Why are you….
‘… Okay. It’s my fault I bought a cheap watch with the money I bought from the academy’s support money.’
Cynthia shook her head and turned off her watch.
If I make a lot of money, I will have to change this first.
Anyway, there is only one way left. Pioneering the road with the spirit of an explorer.
“Let’s cheer up again and go!”
She moved forward through the grass.
She doesn’t know how she ended up in a place like this, but she thought that since it was a forest within the academy grounds, she would see the building again if she went a little further.
“… ?”
Cynthia was moving forward.
Suddenly, someone’s scream was heard from somewhere.
I wondered if I was wrong, but I wasn’t.
That too was a human scream.
Cynthia immediately ran in the direction of the sound.
“Hey! Where are you in now!”
Seeing that the voice was nearby, it seemed that it was not too far away. Cynthia ran quickly and looked around her.
“Keee!”
It was not difficult to find the source as the voice continued to be heard. And, she also succeeded in finding the owner of the voice.
But… There was one problem.
“Hey! Huh… ? What are you not a person? Elk? No, wait a minute, I think I saw it somewhere… Lord Dear?”
The owner of the voice was not a human being.
The one who screamed was not a human, but a monster.
It was Lord Deer, the monster from the monster book.
‘What should I do? That’s a C-class monster… ? Also, running away….’
Cynthia tried to sneak her way back, but she saw him. She was seriously injured Besides she was lying down, breathing heavily. She didn’t seem to have the energy to do anything anymore.
‘This is an opportunity… !’
She ran straight into Lord Deer. If I had a bow, I would have taken it out and shot it, but unfortunately I left it behind. However, Cynthia had a physical retardation and a path of wind.
Shasasak-
She stepped on the footsteps along the path shown by the wind path and reached Lord Deer in an instant.
“Yap!”
Sloppy fisting.
She was not used to melee combat, as she had only ever shot a bow.
Kung!
The destructive power was beyond imagination. Her punches were enough to turn Lord Deer to blood.
In fact, it was only possible because Lee Soo-hyeok seasoned it.
“… Did you do it?”
Cynthia inadvertently chanted a forbidden spell.
“Oh! My seniors told me not to say this….”
She cautiously approached the motionless Lord Deer, closed her eyes, and swung her fist again.
Then Lord Dear, changed into Lord Dear (what it used to be).
To be specific, it was minced into dough. Exactly the head.
“… After. Done.”
Only then did Cynthia shake her hands and stand up.
But… A golden light suddenly rose from her fist.
“… ?”
I wanted something, but soon the golden light disappeared.
Then it started to get hot in her palms.
“Hee!”
Startled by the feeling of her palms ripening, Cynthia fell behind her.
But someone supported her.
“Are you okay?”
“Instructor?”
“Could it be that you caught it? Great!”
“Ah, yes… I happened to… But because he was injured… Rather than saying I got it all….”
Cynthia timidly muttered her words. Because it was the first time I had been praised like this.
‘Huh? Rather… Suddenly the pain is gone… ? What was that… ?’
While she was having a conversation with her instructor, she suddenly realized that the pain in her palm was gone.
“Even if you’re injured, it’s not easy to deal with a Class C monster alone like a sophomore!”
“I see… ?”
“Of course! If it wasn’t for you, there might have been an unfortunate incident in which civilians were injured. Just thinking about this is terrifying.”
Cynthia’s eyes lit up at the instructor’s words.
Her mouth drew an arc at the continuous praise. She tried to hold back a smile, but she couldn’t hold back.
The pain in her palm and the thought of the golden light had long since disappeared from her mind.
“Ha ha ha! I didn’t know our academy had such talent. I’m going to suggest this to the principal myself!”
“Thank you!”
Cynthia thought.
‘I’m lucky!’
***
Lee Soo-hyeok is hospitalized at the Academy Center.
With the bones in his upper body shattered by Lord Deer, he was lying on the bed unable to properly control his body.
‘… Why am i here why?’
Even the healer was behind, so I couldn’t even get proper treatment. He is given the potion, but says it will take some time for the bones to fragment and attach.
‘Damn it.’
Lee Soo-hyeok was angry, but he recognized the reality.
Even if you blame it on the elixir, nothing comes back. Those who cling only to the past cannot move forward.
He intended to reflect on this failure and grow.
‘Calm down. It’s useless to get angry.’
Around the time I calmed down my anger like that.
I got a call from a friend.
Cynthia received a letter of commendation from the principal for contributing to the monster escape case.
That alone.
[Only Cynthia receives a certificate of commendation. ]
In other words, it was a story that Lee Soo-hyeok was not given a commendation.
“I caught them all. But you’re not giving me a citation? What the f*ck?”
Lee Soo-hyeok heard the story and felt his stomach burn. No, I felt like I was going to search because I was frustrated.
The anger that had been subdued with difficulty rose again.
“f*ck. Shivaaal!”
“Uh, huh? Patient? You can’t do this!”
“Quaaagh!”
Lee Soo-hyeok suffered another internal injury that day because his mana was out of control and he had a seizure.
