18 – #018 Disciple
[Failure Penalty: World End]
“… ….”
No one has ever thought about it seriously, and the more I think about it, the more I lose my imagination, which came to me as a reality.
If you fail, the world will perish. It is not simply a story that ends with the death of one person, but everything in this world comes to an end.
The problem was that I had no information about this event that might end the world.
‘Father, what the hell is the f*cking evil? He said that only the Demon King and the Demon God could stop it….’
If you were talking about pink hair at least once, would it come to you?
In this sudden situation, I even wondered if my father had actually taught me nonsense to give me false hope.
Unspeakable agony filled my head with the momentous event of the end of the world in front of me.
If I make a mistake with one of my choices, the world may perish. The fact that I had been carrying a huge burden without even knowing it made me feel a great sense of pressure.
Feeling the mana and heat from behind, whether aware of my agony or not, I instantly ducked my back to avoid the flames flying from behind.
It did not take long to figure out what it was because it was a pure white flame reminiscent of the sun, a flame I had seen in the morning.
“Yeah two years!! A surprise attack from behind, do eastern savages not know what chivalry is!”
“Shut up!! You bastard, don’t discuss chivalry!!”
After her treatment, Louise put a large bandage on her right cheek and nose, gasping for her breath and putting her fists in flames as she did in her class.
Looking at her twice, she wasn’t too surprised, and as she was looking away, she caught her eye on one of her blue hairs rustling at the end of her post behind Louise.
‘Did that human bring you here?’
It was something that could have been done for someone with a bad head like Vivian, but now is the time to solve the situation in front of you first.
“It would be so embarrassing to lose twice in one day. Why don’t we just go home today? Or did you even feel it while being beaten by me? So are you going to hit me again?”
“You vulgar bastard!!!”
Louise, with white flames wrapped around her fists, rushed at me furiously, but it was clear from her charging form that she could no longer fight.
She must have rested for a few hours after receiving her treatment, but that alone could not make up for the exhaustion of her stamina from the morning fight.
She didn’t have the stamina to fight while using mana.
‘… Plaguy.’
I don’t know if it’s a free time, but I don’t have time to deal with such brainiacs now that I have a lot of things to worry about.
In order to show the difference in her strength in an easy-to-understand manner, I did not shy away from it, but focused my energy on her hand and grabbed Louise’s hand, which was covered with white flames.
“Falcon, bare-handed… ?!”
Louise’s mind, which she had managed to hold on to, began to shake greatly at the calm appearance of her being touched by the flame.
Until now, I was ashamed to use ki against a downgraded opponent, so I avoided attacks without bothering to catch them.
Seeing that, he must have thought that this attack would work, but if that thought was denied head-on, everyone would have no choice but to end up like this.
“The more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes. What did I do wrong?”
“Shut up, it’s a sin to be born to you monkey children!!”
“That bastard’s monkey… So what are you who get eaten by that monkey every year? Monkey onahole? Anyone who doesn’t know will think there is a family that was eaten by a monkey….”
After I said it, I wanted to say it.
It was a word that came out almost reflexively whenever I heard a savage or a monkey, so this time it came out of my mouth inadvertently.
“aaa!!!”
Anger as hot as the flames wrapped around her raised her mana that had been dormant inside her, and the white flames burned even more fiercely.
I made a mistake. To her lord of the East, if no one else knows, these words of hers were not meant to end as her jokes.
“I will kill you!! I will kill you!!!”
In fact, her mana was soaring to the point where it was incomparable to the moment before, as if someone in her family had suffered such a miserable act.
But….
“Ugh… !!”
The fierce flames were immediately suppressed by the overwhelming energy.
Although he hesitated a little in surprise at the sudden explosive increase in mana, it means that he has increased a lot compared to before.
Even if 1 multiplied by 3 to become 3, it is still a small number in front of 100. To me, this amount of change was just a margin of error.
“What I just said… No, now that I think about it, I’m not really sorry. How much I’ve suffered from you guys all this time, can you feel sorry enough to curse your family?”
People who are called monkeys or savages just because they are Asians are basic, and if they are serious, they are stoned and slapped on the road.
I can’t even imagine the pain of those who couldn’t do it, fortunately because I’m strong enough to give back everything I received.
They have been persecuted and suffered all their lives just because they were born into this world.
The perpetrators may have their own reasons, but that was not taken into consideration.
“I don’t think I have anything more to show you, so let’s stop here. Next time you want to attack again, learn a new skill or whatever.”
“It’s not over yet… !!”
I let go of Louise’s wrist and immediately went back and strangled her with her wrist.
Her thick wrist compresses her carotid artery, completely cutting off oxygen from her blood to her head.
When the carotid artery is compressed, it takes only about 7 seconds to faint.
In that short amount of time, Louise struggled to get out somehow, but even with all her time, it was impossible to do the difficult task in 7 seconds.
“Ugh… !! Ughhh!!”
Louise struggled with her arms and legs, but her guts did not allow her to exceed her human limits.
After 7 seconds, as her complete loss of strength from her Louise’s limbs, I threw her stunned Louise to the ground like her trash.
“… I did this in class too. By the way, how long will you be watching?”
“What? Did you catch it?”
At those words, Vivian, who had been secretly watching from behind the pillars of the building, appeared.
“I was hiding it to hide my presence, but how did you know?”
“By chance.”
It was not an empty word, it was really a coincidence.
By chance, Vivien’s blue hair hiding behind a pillar caught her eye and she recognized it, but she didn’t feel any sign of her.
“You were born with strong luck. So what will the child do?”
“Somehow. This isn’t a battlefield of any kind, and it’s not something you can take with you like trophies.”
Actually, this is the biggest problem. I can’t just leave her like this, and if someone sees her moving her, she’ll get misunderstood again.
“Hmm…. Is there a garbage dump near here? If it’s close, I think I can move without being noticed.”
“You don’t have the option of just asking me to move you to the infirmary?”
“I don’t want to go into more debt here. Speaking of debt, thank you for helping me earlier.”
She bowed her head in gratitude, then raised her head again to see Vivian looking at me with the expression of a child who has seen an interesting toy.
“… And I don’t think the reason why he’s being so nice to me is simply because he likes me…. You seem to want something from me. May I ask what it is?”
“Um… Also, you’re quick-witted. Then, before I say that, do you know what the apprentice system is?”
I had never heard of such a system even from my father, so when I shook my head, Vivian excitedly began to explain.
“The apprentice system is a system designed to efficiently nurture talented students. For example, if you become my disciple, I can give you special lessons that are not in the formal curriculum.”
Saying that, she gave an example, like the secret magic of the Gawain family that Louise had just shown.
Other than that, there were many other benefits, such as being able to replace regular classes with classes from the professor in charge.
There were really only things that appealed to me, such as being recognized as attending even if I took a few days off from classes in the name of outdoor classes or assignments.
“All I hear are good things, but are there any bad things?”
“Um… Do you want to have nothing? It’s really rare to be hired as a disciple, so it’s getting a lot of attention….”
From noble mtl dot com
“Because I already have enough attention.”
I still cannot forget the eyes of the students who glared at me as if they were looking at some crazy person as I passed the hallway.
Looking at those eyes, I could see how I would be treated when I returned to the academy in a week.
“Then that’s good for me, but what does the professor get? If I accept a savage like me as my apprentice, I think my reputation will only suffer….”
“Finally, I can fulfill my purpose of coming to the academy, so what’s the point of having a reputation like that?”
“The purpose of coming to the academy?”
Hearing that this was the purpose made Vivian, who felt a bit normal, feel more like a madman than when she was attacked in the morning.
“So… I’m bored because I don’t have anyone to fight with, so I’ll make myself as strong as the professor and then defeat him. You mean this?”
“Right! You are more understanding than I thought!! I’m starting to like it more and more!!”
“…….”
Live, live, I am seeing a person as crazy as my father today for the first time.
I honestly don’t want to go along with this crazy thing, but I couldn’t afford to choose my means when the world might end.
“I will accept that. Please accept me as your disciple.”
“No.”
“Yes?”
“It’s not the application period yet. In the sense of choosing carefully, according to the rules, you have to wait a month before recommending to freshmen.”
“Ah….”
I said some bullsh*t again….
