(EP.65) Shadow #1
065 – Shadows on the Arc #1
The first weekend after school started disappeared in an instant.
Because I returned from the haunted mansion and slept through the entire Sunday day.
It seems that my body was drenched in fatigue without realizing it, perhaps because I had a ghost commotion in the middle of the night and watched the morning sun rise while playing chess with Narmi.
-See you later, Tae-oh! Keep it a secret from your sister that you met me!
ㅡ Well, then.
My body drooped like wet cotton, and as soon as I got back to the dorm, I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
That’s how I wake up on Monday morning.
When I opened my eyes, someone was looking down at me from the bedside.
dark blue eyes.
Few people I know have blue eyes like this.
“It’s morning. morning. wake up.”
It was Elgar.
Elgar has come to wake me up.
In principle, women are prohibited from entering the men’s dormitory, but Elgar did not care about that and just entered. No one can stop her, who is in fifth place anyway.
“Are you waking up?”
At Elgar’s urging, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and stood up.
I looked at the clock and it was 8:00 in the morning. Usually my first lecture is at 9 o’clock, so if I prepare quickly, it’s the right time.
“Why are you waking up so late? Should I come out to meet you?”
pick up.
While thinking about the lecture I was taking with Elgar today, I realized that my Monday lecture was only ‘Introduction to Combat Science’.
But wouldn’t that have been a lecture with Elgar?
Without a moment of doubt, Elgar grabbed the nape of my pajamas and lifted me into the air. It lifted me up like a stray cat by the nape of the neck.
“Hurry up and get ready!”
At the sound of Elgar’s screams, my sleep slowly begins to run away.
Benjamin and Hans lying on the bed there, too, begin to wake up, rubbing their eyes, saying, “What the hell is this?”
There is no separate bill.
In the end, I was afraid Elgar would cause more damage to the people around me, so I quickly finished washing my face and showering and got ready to go to class in the morning.
Today’s lecture is an introduction to combat science.
Was it a practical lecture given by an instructor from some former famous mercenary?
Although it is a practical exercise, it seems certain that it will be a class that beginners and beginners can easily access as it is called ‘Introduction’.
“By the way, I didn’t know that Elgar-sama would also take an introductory course in combat science.”
Elgar wouldn’t need to learn combat science. Because she is a perfect warrior who has already been honed in practice rather than practice in the field.
However, it seems that Elgar has a plan of her own.
“Maybe there’s a hint on how to handle my ax well.”
“okay.”
“Then let’s go now. Don’t you know that you have to sit 10 minutes before the lecture starts?”
Is Elgar a better student than I thought?
It was an image that seemed to be the last to come in and sit in the back seat and look at only the smartphone.

Introduction to combat science was an outdoor lecture.
spacious training ground.
A place full of old scarecrows and the smell of oil spreads softly everywhere.
Fragments of shattered armor, pieces of wood from a scarecrow, nails and teeth, etc., were rolling in the sand on the floor, making it clear what kind of place this place was used.
“Heh, it’s just plain weaklings.”
Elgar snorted as if she had lost interest as she saw the people starting to gather around her.
Most of the people who listened to this introduction to combat science were silver tier or bronze tier, so it seems difficult to attract Elgar’s attention.
Still, I found them interesting.
Seeing the warriors wearing various weapons, I wondered how far my magic would go to them.
First of all, I have a history of defeating Conde, who was ranked 321 in silver tier, even if it was a surprise attack. I also defeated a zombie that was robbing a graveyard.
So, more than half of them can’t be dealt with alone?
Listening to this lecture, I vaguely set a goal that I would like to be able to know for sure about the recovery and power of my newly acquired magic.
Once you have acquired the ability, it is natural to know its limitations and performance.
-Look at that guy. It’s a single number. 5th place. That blonde girl.
– It’s true. I thought I was wrong. Why the hell are you taking this introductory lecture?
– I don’t know. How do we know what Numbers thinks? Are you from the student council?
Then, in my sensitive ears, I heard stories of people looking at Elgar and gossiping. As expected, Elgar seems to have a constitution that attracts people’s attention wherever she goes.
“Okay, let the lecture begin. Everyone be quiet.”
At that moment, someone showed up to the open training ground, clapping and applauding.
He was a man with brown hair, a short beard and an eye patch on one eye. Are you now in your mid-30s?
It was a man wearing an auxiliary tool on his left leg and a hook instead of a hand on his right hand.
The forearm exposed under the short short sleeves is full of scars. Instead, leather belts and holsters were worn around the waist and shoulders, and all kinds of tools were hung.
My first impression was, ‘There are a lot of injuries.’
However, most of the professors and instructors of the original arc feel this way.
This is because we are hiring veterans, who are old or injured, who are active in active duty and who are no longer active, as instructors, professors, and staff here.
He entered the circle of the crowd and introduced himself in all directions.
“Come on, I am Mikhail Heidner. A man who was active as a gold tier mercenary in the Principality of Ankar. Feel free to call me Mikhail. You can call me older brother or older brother.”
Elgar, admiring the light and easy-to-follow introduction, “ho-oh-.”
“That guy is a real bastard.”
Does it mean honmono?
Perhaps it means that he is a warrior strong enough to be interested in Elgar. But even without Elgar’s reaction, he seemed to know to some extent that this man was a very strong being.
Although one of his arms and legs was lost, he was wearing an assistive device. Because I had a strong feeling that that man would be enough to twist my neck with one hand.

I was quite surprised when I glanced at the instructor’s status window.
It’s level 45.

Considering that the average level of people in this world was about 20 or so based on the information I had gathered so far, it was a really good level.
The job called Mercenary had reached level 10 at all.
15 level?
Is such a thing possible?
I thought it was over when I reached level 10. Each job may have different characteristics.
Anyway, what is certain is that he is strong enough to serve as an instructor in an educational facility infested with these warriors.
The name didn’t appear in the original, so I wasn’t expecting much. I have corrected my thoughts.
Instructor Mikhail said.
“Okay, let’s start the lecture. I’m not sure about the theory, so I’ll just say what I have to say. After all, the cadets here aren’t at the level to listen to theories, are they?”
I’d like to hear the theory first.
Am I the only novice in the perfect battle?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that I see, the faces of the cadets who were taking this lecture were full of scars like warriors who came from behind.
The tanned skin of both men and women, whether exposed to direct sunlight or not, is enough to make you look older.
Mikhail nodded his head to see if he had confirmed something by looking at their hardened expressions and eyes, and shouted to those around him.
“Okay then, Master. Bring what you have prepared.”
-I’m leaving soon… !
Then someone came whining and carrying a heavy-looking bag on his shoulder.
It looked like a tortoise or a snail walking around, but what was even more surprising was its appearance.
The assistant was wearing a nun’s uniform.
What more can I explain? The guy is Marmar.
“This is what I prepared… !”
🤩🤩🤩
For some reason, Marmar, who was working as Mikhail’s assistant, unwrapped the bag he was holding and arranged something on the floor.
It could be seen that there were almost all kinds of weapons such as various kinds of blades and blunts, such as sickles, spears, swords, bows, etc.
“Setup is complete… !”
“Good job, assistant. Go to the shade over there and rest.”
“I see… !”
Marmar went straight to the shade and sat down. I looked at him with sullen eyes. Marmar made eye contact with me and waved her hand from side to side.
I didn’t say it, but I guess it means I’m happy.
Instructor Mikhail said as Marmar and I were greeting each other like that.
“As everyone already knows, equipment is important in battle. Equipment that is right for you. Equipment that does not fit well. A weapon that can be handled well. clumsy weapon. Because this difference is huge.”
Sreung.
Mikhail raised a coarsely crafted sword. He swung it in the air and then added.
“Of course, warriors who have reached a certain level do not choose their equipment. Most die before that happens. Because the warriors have many enemies. So, in this lecture, the goal is to increase your survival rate by making sure you know which tools are right for you and how to handle them.”
Then someone raised a hand.
She was a woman with two hammers on each side.
“I already have a relic that I use. Here’s a pair hammer. Are you saying that you already have a weapon you are using and now you have to change your weapon and fighting style?”
“no. You don’t have to. Those who already have relics and are familiar with combat methods will help them handle them better.”
People nod at Mikhail’s explanation.
I really feel like that. I didn’t know anything about this, and I didn’t have the confidence, so I just nodded my head along with everyone else.
Mikhail said.
“Okay then, I’ll give you time. Choose the one you like from the weapons displayed in front of you. Those who already have relics may remain as they are.”
Suddenly, something like a first birthday party was held where you could pick up your favorite tools. Elgar taps me on the back as I watch people get cluttered one by one.
“What are you doing, you bastard? Go ahead and pick it up.”
“I already have a weapon.”
Then I showed Elgar the tail of the imp that I was wearing like a bracelet on my left arm. But Elgar just snorts, “Hey.”
“Weapons are iron balls or knives. It refers to the blunts that smash bones. It’s not like that kind of magic wand.”
That’s right.
Elgar clenched her fists like she was about to hit the honey chestnut, so I was forced to move and look at the weapons lying on the floor.
But there’s nothing particularly attractive about it.
First of all, I’m a wizard.
Isn’t it strange for a wizard to use a sword or a sword? I don’t know about another archmage who is as good as Gandalf.
As I was hesitating, the instructor Mikhail, who was guiding the cadets, approached me.
“Are you worried?”
“That’s right. Actually, I’ve never had a weapon before. I don’t know what works for me.”
“Tao Gospel. I’ve heard rumors about you. It seems that you used a strange magic to defeat Conde of Silvers. Is that real?”
The instructor must have heard my rumors too.
“The rumors seem to be true. Without it, there is no way the person who had the cloth, etc. passed over would be wearing the 321st brooch. Well, let’s see.”
The man quickly glanced at me from top to bottom.
“A typical wizard body type. less muscle. Then, Tae-oh, you’d better learn how to deal with all weapons rather than weapon skills.”
That’s right.
It’s against all weapons.
It would have been nice to know for sure.
“Hey, Instructor Mikhail!”
At that moment, someone rushed in from far away.
He was a man wearing a normal robe, came up to Mikhail and whispered something in his ear, and Mikhail raised his eyebrows.
“Is that real? Undead?”
“It’s real.”
“Hmm.”
Mikhail let out a small sigh.
“Today’s lecture ends here. Then, ask the assistant to clean up afterward.”
“I see… !”
While Marmar was cleaning up the weapons and cleaning up, Mikhail hurriedly left the room. The lecture ended abruptly, and the crowd roared.
– What’s going on?
ㅡ Undead, what did you do?
I heard it too. What are the undead doing? I heard information that bothered me quite a bit.
-Maybe it’s because of the necromancer.
– A necromancer?
– A dangerous necromancer is wandering around the city. Said to be a fearsome necromancer who wields a high-ranking lich. I don’t think the damage has already been done.
-A necromancer who deals with high-ranking lichs… , aren’t you the girl of the Draco family?
Did you hear that story?
Elgar, who had been yawning with her arms crossed throughout the lecture, wrinkled her brow.
Then he approached the double hammered adventurer woman who was talking about her, and grabbed her by the collar.
“Tell me more. What about the necromancer dealing with the lich?”
“That, that-. I’ve heard rumors too! I heard that the necromancer is raiding people at random and digging the graveyard! It has something to do with the Draco family… .”
widely.
The strength in the hand holding the collar is released.
“Everyone turn it off. Aren’t you going to the next lecture? are you free? Can I play with you?”
5th place rank. The students rushed out of the training ground as they were at the threat of Single Numbers Elgar.
