53 – Magic Stone Golem – 2
“… ….”
He quickly began to shake his head. Among the porridge and rice balls that were given to patients at that time, which was the food that Brünnhild made?
I didn’t understand the meaning of the question, but I knew that if I answered it wrong, something very difficult would happen.
Because Brünnhild was looking from the side with a grinning, playful face. Judging by the expression on his face, he was a subject of teasing that would last for at least three days.
‘Is Brünnhild on the verge of death? No, it could be the other way around. What did the rice balls look like? Was it normal? Or was it a little distorted? The taste…… I don’t think there was much difference.’
After thinking for a while, mobilizing all my memory cells to recall the lunch hour, I finally managed to guess the correct answer and opened my mouth.
“Brünnhild, what you made is rice balls, and what Aria made is porridge.”
“Uh…… Uh? “What, how did you know?”
Fortunately, it seemed to be the correct answer. The golden pupils were widened, and unorganized words came out from between the lips. Brünnhild looked extremely embarrassed, as if he didn’t think I would actually guess correctly.
“I can’t believe it was filmed or anything like that…… “Isn’t it?”

“Of course not.”
It seems obvious that such questions will come up, but how could they?
“Then how did you guess it right?”
Brünnhild asked the reason as if he was trying to find something to make fun of. This was an easy question to answer. All you have to do is explain the process of inferring the correct answer.
“When you took out your lunch box, you said it was your first time cooking, right? When I looked at it before eating it, the rice ball side was a little more dented. The size of each dish was not uniform, and there were places where it was bland because it was slightly underseasoned and places where it was salty because it was overly seasoned. This is a mistake that beginner cooks often make. On the other hand, Aria said she has quite a bit of cooking experience, so I made a guess based on that.”
“… ….”
The expression on my face became strange. However, if I ended it here, I would have been unilaterally making fun of them for not being able to cook, so I added something to make them feel less like that.
“Of course, that was just an additional element, and the decisive clue was the facial expressions you two made. Every time I picked one up and tasted it, your expressions changed. Aria looked very nervous when she was eating porridge, and Brunhild looked very nervous when she was eating rice balls. “It seems like you both have the type of personality that can’t stand lying.”
“…… Really? “I had that look on my face?”
Instead of answering, he smiled slightly. Brunhild puffed out her cheeks as if she was upset when she heard that I couldn’t make fun of her for answering correctly and that it was because she couldn’t cook.
“What’s wrong?”
“Hmph. It’s okay. What should I do if I talk to someone who makes dented rice balls? “Let’s go see Dalian.”
When I suppressed my laughter and asked a question because he was openly saying, “I’m mad,” Brünnhild even turned his head away.
But the seat was still the same. If he was really upset, he would have moved to a far away place first. This was no different from a silent demonstration that he was upset and wanted to be comforted quickly.
She stretched out her left hand and placed it on his head, stroking it gently. Her bright blue hair flowed like silk between her fingers. As I expected, Brunhild did not reject a hand stroking his head.
“What if it’s a little dented? “Both were delicious.”
“When did you recognize me because I was ugly?”
“When did you say I was ugly? I said it was crushed. And I didn’t even know it was until you asked. It was so delicious that I didn’t even care about its appearance while eating it. “Isn’t it enough as long as the food tastes good?”
I erased from my mind the words, “It’s a million times better than combat rations, which are just edible because they meet the minimum nutritional requirements.” There is nothing good to be gained by adding unnecessary weight.
To Brünnhild, who doesn’t know the inside story, it may seem like I’m a rich boy and surprisingly eat well without worrying about things.
“… ….”
As expected, Brunhild was reacting quite violently, to the point where it was obvious that her body was shaking. Then, as if she was trying to pretend to be upset, she turned her head and whispered timidly.
“…… Okay. I’ll trust you. Instead, I’ll keep doing this until I say it’s done.”
“Are you going to stay like this all day?”
“…… “If you can’t even talk.”
Brünnhild laughed and changed her posture. I brought both her knees together and hugged her, turned her head toward me, bent her waist and rested her left cheek on her knees, and then she looked up at me.
How long had it been since she had been watching the sparring in silence next to her and stroking her hair? As if the turn had ended, Aria, who had dust all over her uniform, tilted her head and approached her.
“What are you two doing, Mira?”
“Brünnhild was upset and I was comforting her.”
“Yes?”
“Hey, why do you say that?”
Brünnhild tapped my side with her elbow and removed her hand from her head. But her face was still smiling. Aria sat on her empty right side with a puzzled expression.
“Mira, are you really not going to spar? “She said the professor said she wouldn’t be asked if her golem was broken.”
“I have to do it. “I’m waiting for my turn to finish.”
To carry out my plan, I need to destroy the golem’s core, which will shorten the other students’ sparring time. The two people, who had no way of knowing my true intentions, seemed like they were going to do that.
Time passed quickly. As the lecture neared its end, the line in front of the Magic Stone Golem began to disappear. It was because everyone was beaten so one-sidedly.
“I can see that the line has disappeared so it’s time. “I’ll go and come back.”
Brünnhild must have thought it was just a joke, but when I actually stood up, he looked slightly surprised. Aria was unexpectedly calm.
I approached the magic stone golem. She moved to the left and right, as if the few students who were still standing in front of her were being annoyed. Jake, who was busy going back and forth between the training grounds and replacing magic stones, also stopped his actions.
‘Do you think you can just destroy the core cleanly? First of all, that is the top priority.’
If nothing else, the core must be destroyed. It’s enough to make you think that it would be much cheaper to build a new one and install it instead of repairing it.
That way, you can replace it with a new one later.
They were airlifted to the academy for training ‘just in time’ when the demons invaded Belium Academy, and were contaminated by the eternally shining Holy Grail that the demons brought ‘just in time’.
And thanks to the buff provided by the contaminated relic, it changes to a state where it can operate indefinitely without magic stones. Of course, it was the main character’s party’s responsibility to defeat the transformed golem.
‘It looks like the Starlight Church fell into the hands of demons a long time ago… ….’
Considering that it was almost certain that the religious relics of the church would have fallen into the hands of demons, it was necessary to repair the structure of the core as quickly as possible.
About two years in the future, when the demons found out the structure of the core and took it away from where the golem appeared, the great wizards racked their brains to develop a structure.
‘I guess I can have Priscilla deliver the new core to Ingrid.’
She would be forgiven if the reason Priscilla had been missing lectures a lot recently was because she was concentrating on her research. Since it is an item with better magical stone efficiency than the original core, there would be no reason to reject the request.
Of course, Ingrid will be the one who will be called to the Wizards Association and excitedly explain how she came up with this.
“What kind of guy will your opponent be?”
Without even thinking about Jake’s question, she tried to tell him that it wouldn’t matter if he attacked all seven of them at the same time, but she could barely hold back. She almost answered reflexively without even thinking.
I guess it’s possible, but there was no need to show off her skills like that.
“I’ll take this one.”
The one I chose was a golem with the most standard combination of a long sword and a medium-sized shield. From their perspective, it was a long sword, but from our perspective, it was practically the same size as a great sword.
Jake nodded his head and gave orders to the remaining magic stone golems to get them out of the sparring room. Before I knew it, the other students were sitting in a circle near the practice hall watching me.
‘Quick and concise.’
I didn’t want to take too long. As I said, the magic stones are slowly running out, and there is not much time left for the lecture. When this is over, everyone should eat dinner.
Once we settled down, the magic stone golem began to move. I was looking at that figure from the front, then took out the eternity, used body strengthening, and rushed forward.
The speed at which the magic stone golem raised his arm and then lowered it seemed to be quite slow. It’s a familiar sword. It might be difficult for other people to react properly, but for me it was okay. Because I deliberately adjusted the speed.
He flicked away the knife that was swinging as if it would split his head and immediately moved his body.
He hit the shield with his shoulder. Even though the human body and the shield, which was over 2 meters long, collided, it was the shield that stumbled, not the human.
The magic stone golem, which was staggering, powered its legs to support its body. Meanwhile, an eternity was stabbed into the defenseless golem’s right knee joint and twisted.
ㅡKwasik!
Shattered fragments flew from the golem’s joints. However, as if this was not enough, the broken joints were instantly reconnected with mana. I didn’t expect to collapse like this anyway.
The magic stone golem grabbed the long sword in reverse. The distance would be vague to attack in the original holding position. Because I was so close to you on purpose.
And, if you hold the sword in reverse, the attack area becomes a dot rather than a width. I easily dodged the long sword strike and twisted my body to cut off his wrist.
As Youngwon cleanly cut off the golem’s wrist and the longsword flew through the sky, Professor Jake could be heard shouting something from a distance. It seemed like he was telling them to stop sparring.
I pretended not to hear and moved my legs. He stomped on the golem’s instep with his left foot, immobilizing it so that it could not move properly, and struck his shield with the end of the handle of Eternity.
The shield twisted on impact, blocking my body from the students. With this, the board is all set.
ㅡTwisting polarity.
In the Blade of Eternity, mana began to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. A torrent of mana that twisted everything she touched ripped through the magic stone golem’s chest armor.
The blade stretched deep inside, tearing through the armor and accurately penetrating the core.
“…… !!!!!”
I felt my core being clearly broken and pulled out the blade. Did it take just one second from the time I covered myself with the shield to now? Eternal summons were canceled and body strengthening was also released. I turned towards the professor.
“What did you just say?”
ㅡQuaaa
Before I could finish speaking, a loud explosion occurred behind me. A dark shadow fell in front of me, and my school uniform and hair were flying here and there in the howling wind.
There was no particular shock, but I stopped thinking and stopped in place as I encountered an unexpected situation.
‘…… What.’
I haven’t heard that if you break the core, it explodes.
