Episode 49
‘Wow, what a young man’s eye color… .’
Jake clenched his teeth. I wanted to get up, but a finger wouldn’t move. I heard the sound of frivolous footsteps when I didn’t know what to do.
“Did you come from the tower? Hey, you came early.”
His head, which had been hardened, moved at the sound of his voice as light as his footsteps. The red-haired elf was smiling.
“Lee, Limer Chief Instructor?”
“you’re right. come this way I have something to tell you before training.”
Limer tapped her arm and pointed to the head instructor’s office.
“Um, I see.”
As I answered, I turned my head back to where Raon was. He was swinging his sword again as if he didn’t care.
“after… .”
Jake took a deep breath and stood up. A little later, I almost peed in my pants.
“Are you unwell?”
“Oh, no. Let’s go.”
“Yep!”
I followed Limer, who nodded lightly, into the head instructor’s room. Contrary to his neat face, the room was dirty and there was no place to sit.
“Sit.”
“There is no place to sit, but… .”
“Oh, it is.”
Limer smiled lightly and got up from the rocking chair.
“Well, it doesn’t take long. I do it like this. Do you know that trainees need to apply strengthening magic to the orcs they are going to face?”
“of course.”
“My teaching was so excellent that the strength of the trainees exceeded their age. A normal orc wouldn’t even be trained.”
“uh… .”
My head went numb at the sudden burst of pride.
“I will tell you the level of powerlessness of the children, so please apply strengthening magic to the monsters according to the level of powerlessness. Is it possible?”
“It’s not that difficult. My main major is monster summoning and operation.”
“Actually, Verbin’s deputy lord also praised the wizard.”
“ah… .”
When Limer brought up the story of Butapju, Jake’s expression twisted in a mysterious way.
“The illusion magic that makes one more monster look human… .”
“Ah, that can be fixed with this.”
Jake raised his right hand and showed him the ring on his middle finger.
“This is a fantasy-type artifact given to me by the butt master. If you use this ring, it is easy to make illusions on the trainees.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Limer whistled as if she liked it.
“Then please. If it goes well, I’ll buy you a drink with the butt lord later.”
After saying that, he left the instructor’s office.
‘It will make things easier.’
Limer entrusted all matters related to monsters to himself. At this rate, it wouldn’t be too difficult to summon that orc to inflict fatal wounds on Raon, or to run away with an excuse.
“He… .”
Jake remembered the Raon he had seen a while ago. At first, I felt a little sorry for the thought of having to injure a child I didn’t know, but now I’m not.
He will inflict even more serious injuries on the damn kid who gave him shame.
fast.
Jake bit his molars and left the instructor’s room.
* * *
Raon calmed his eyes when he saw the middle-aged wizard heading to the instructor’s room following Limer.
It was only a fleeting moment, but I could feel the murderous intent from that wizard. The momentum to touch rather than kill. If it wasn’t for you, no one would have noticed.
– I had a lot of grudges at that age. what the hell have you been doing When the main king is in the demon realm, all the demons worship the main king… .
‘shut up.’
Raon pushed Lars, who was smirking, with his feet.
‘It looks like that guy.’
It seemed that the magic that Karun had prepared was the magician Judiel had been talking about.
– That he can’t hide his own momentum properly, he’s not even a kitten.
‘Even kittens are cute. There is no place for a person like that.’
Raon looked at the instructor’s room and shook his head.
‘I will strengthen the monster.’
It was clear that that wizard was going to strengthen the monsters he would face with Karun’s instructions to a special degree.
‘It’s going to kill me or seriously injure me.’
It’s such a pathetic plan, I only laugh. He was a more generous father than his son.
‘I’m sorry.’
Kicking his tongue and turning his head, he made eye contact with Runan, who was entering the dance hall. After two days, Luna’s eyes were the same as usual. My heart ached without knowing why.
“Dad said today’s training is a battle against monsters.”
She talked about training today, not wanting to think about it.
“okay?”
“yes.”
Runan nodded his head broadly. It was obvious that he was forced to act as usual, but he didn’t know what to say because it seemed like he was trying to forget it.
She went into the break room to prepare for training.
– Aren’t you saying a word?
‘I don’t know what to say. And it’s a family thing.’
I don’t even know how I feel about myself, so what advice would I give about the other person’s family?
But we know what the Syrians have done to Runan. If given a chance, it can be solved.
“Do, lord. Do you know that?”
As he regained his bitter taste, Dorian approached her as if anxiously touching her stomach.
“What?”
“Practical training today. Everything is not just fighting monsters.”
“then?”
“They say you have to kill the monsters! You must see real blood! Uh, how do you do it?”
He bit his nails and rolled his eyes.
“Look at the blood… .”
“Yes! Breathing is the goal of training! It’s crazy!”
“Good.”
“Eeek!”
Raon left behind the screaming Dorian and looked at the common room where Runan had entered.
Shall we break the curse once more?
* * *
“Come on, pay attention!”
Limer, who had entered the instructor’s room, was suddenly on the podium. He grabbed everyone’s attention by clapping his hands coolly.
“I’m going to practice today, didn’t I tell you to prepare your mind?”
“Yes!”
The trainees gathered in the center of the dance hall and answered. They were full of anticipation.
“Now it seems that I have gained some confidence in my words. Your eyes are shining.”
The trainees giggled at Limer’s joke. After spending a lot of time together, the trainees seemed to have come to understand Rimer’s sincerity to some extent.
“Hint and thanks to some instructors spreading the information, most of you probably know, but I have to explain. Today’s training is a real battle against monsters.”
His voice, which had been playful a little while ago, had subsided. The atmosphere of the gymnasium itself became heavy.
“There is no mercy in the ax of a monster. Unlike when you fight with yourself or with a training knight, it never stops. Don’t be vigilant and don’t be nervous. Let’s go into battle with a calm mind as usual.”
“Yes!”
The trainees clenched their fists and shouted to leave the gymnasium.
“This is Jake, the magician of the tower who will help us practice today. Say hello.”
“Take good care of me!”
“I, too, please.”
Jake turned to face Raon, bowed his head, and quickly turned his eyes to look for Raon.
‘Are you okay now?’
I couldn’t see the strange eyes that tightened my heart earlier. They were so ordinary that you could just pass by when you met them on the road.
‘However… .’
There is no way that the momentum of the past was an illusion. If you look at what Karun is aiming for, there must be something special about that child.
“Then, wizard. Please.”
“Yes.”
Jake nodded to Limer, who was waving his hand, and then went out in front of the podium.
“Summon Monster.”
After Jake memorized the chant, he struck the ground with his wand, and a magic circle was drawn on the floor of the gymnasium. A green light flashed over the blue text created by drawing a circle.
Whoa!
The light slowly disappeared, and a huge imprint appeared.
Height over 2m, swollen muscles, protruding teeth and green skin. It was the most common and most dangerous monster orc.
“Creep!”
“Suck!”
“Ugh!”
The orc raised the ax in his hand and sharpened his teeth. The trainees swallowed dry saliva from the sudden surge of wild life and aim.
“It’s under my control now, so don’t worry.”
Jake turned his finger around, and the orc turned in that direction.
“The monster you will face today is this orc.”
“It was an orc after all!”
“Is it finally in action? .”
“Whoa.”
The trainees looked up at Jake with a mixture of tension and excitement.
“As the instructor said, you must not be vigilant as an Orc. There are moments I can’t stop, so please always stay focused. and… .”
The ring worn by Jake on his right hand pointed to the orc.
wow.
As the magic circle wrapped around the orc twisted like a vine and radiated a brilliant multicolored light, the appearance of the orc began to change.
The protruding crow’s teeth slipped in, and the green skin was blazing. A few seconds later, the orc had become an ordinary middle-aged man with brown hair and an axe.
“Sa, man?”
“what is this!”
“Why all of a sudden someone… .”
“You have to deal with orcs, not just orcs, who have been magically transformed into humans.”
Jake moved the orc’s ax that looked like a human and aimed at the trainees.
“Huh!”
“Ugh!”
“Hey, that’s just a human!”
The trainees looked at the orcs who had become human with bewildered faces at the sudden change.
“I will say one more thing.”
Rimer stepped out in front of Jake and raised a finger.
“Today’s battle is not just about defeating or neutralizing orcs. You have to cut that guy’s head to end it.”
He pointed at the orc in human form with his raised finger.
“ah… .”
“That, that… .”
The trainees were confused and couldn’t just look at each other.
“Most of the orcs captured by wizards have killed people. There is no need to show mercy, so fight with all your might and win.”
Rimer stepped back, letting out a heavy voice, unlike usual.
‘Dorian’s information was correct.’
Leon nodded his head.
‘It’s good training.’
Most swordsmen are unable to strike their sword to the end in their first encounter with a human.
In fact, there were many unlucky geniuses who could not get past the first battle even though they had excellent military power.
Today’s battle didn’t end with just dealing with monsters in order to prepare for such a futile death, but it was a double training to prepare for a real battle with humans in the future.
‘and… .’
Raon looked at Runan next to him. Her lips trembled at the words that she had to be decapitated.
‘It’s perfect for breaking this guy’s curse.’
Rimer may not have known, but thanks to this training, it seemed that the Syrian brainwashing that had been planted in Runan’s mind could be dispelled.
– Doesn’t that garbage wizard care?
‘of course.’
Leon nodded his head. At most, it is obvious that he will attack by strengthening the slightly ferocious orc he obtained from somewhere. There was no need to be nervous.
What’s important now is to get rid of the fear of blood on Runan’s head.
“Then let’s get started. The first person to fight… .”
“I’ll do it.”
Before Jake could finish speaking, Burren raised his hand.
“You know? He is the son of Jungmujeonju. Please strengthen the orc’s physical abilities a lot.”
“All right.”
As Jake listened to Limer’s words, his taste buds dried up. He was the son of the person who gave this job, and he couldn’t have known.
“Loop agility, loop strength.”
When he chanted agility and strength-enhancing spells, blue light flew around the orcs. His yellow eyes were more vicious.
“good.”
As Jake extended his fingers forward, the orc, who looked like a middle-aged man, walked forward with a heavy footstep.
woowook.
Burren clenched his fist a few times, then straightened it out and pulled out the sword he had previously supplied. He looked at Jake and nodded that he was ready.
“Then let’s get started.”
As Jake snapped his finger, the texts wrapped around the orc’s body disappeared.
“Turn it off!”
The orcs exploded and slammed the ground. He ran like a beast and slammed his ax into Burren’s head.
“I see everything.”
Burren raised the sword while operating the auror.
Whoa!
A rusty ax and a polished sword collided and sparks splattered.
“Wow!”
Burren raised her eyes. The hand holding the sword trembled.
‘What is this weight… .’
He had never seen or faced an orc, but he thought he could cut it lightly if he was the one he is now.
However, the weight of the orc’s ax was not easily bearable. Compared to the training knights of Owen Kingdom who had fought before, it was not lacking in the slightest.
“Aww!”
Burren turned his wrist strongly and deflected the orc’s axe.
“Creep!”
The orc was pushed back two steps, but rushed again at a faster pace. bright yellow eyes. It was full of momentum to tear and kill Burren.
The trainees behind them were startled by the living, but Burren did not shrink.
“dare!”
Rather, he raised his anger and lowered his sword.
Zeng! Damn it!
When the orc lowered his ax as if he had met a life-and-death enemy, Burren’s sword pierced his hole.
profit!
Red blood spurted from the orc’s shoulders and thighs.
“Aww!”
However, they run away with a more intense scream. Now I felt like I was looking at a handmade beast.
“Don’t do it!”
Burren squashed under the orc and raised his sword to strike.
Chewy!
While pushing the ax to cut the orc’s head, Burren’s sword twisted to the right. The orc’s forearm, not the neck, was torn in half.
“Uh… .”
Burren, who couldn’t finish it even though he could finish it, bit his lip.
“Great!”
The orc pushed in like a bull even though his shoulder and elbow were torn. The strength was gone, but the momentum did not diminish.
Whoa!
Burren stepped on his footsteps and squashed behind the slowed orc. As he was about to cut the sword crosswise and aim at the orc’s neck, his sword stopped once again.
“shit!”
Burren snorted and backed away. The tip of the sword trembled as if in fear.
“Burren.”
Limer, who was lying on the podium and watching the battle, got up.
“You can’t cut it even though you know it’s a monster, not a human, who wants to kill you, right?”
His voice was calm, as if he knew this was going to happen.
“It is because you are good. Since that monster looked like a human, the sword must not have moved properly. but… .”
Limer continued, pointing to the orc grinding the teeth.
“As I said before, that orc has already tasted human blood. Most of the monsters that wizards have are those who have killed humans.”
“you’re right.”
Jake nodded as if he was right.
“It’s okay if you can’t kill me now. Because this is just practice. But if you go to the battlefield and your hands stop, the swordsman or monster you couldn’t kill will kill your comrades.”
“Ugh… .”
Burren deflected the orc’s ax and listened to Limer’s calm advice.
“And if you want to reach your goals, you can’t stop here, can you?”
At those words, Burren’s head turned to Raon. Aura, thicker than the first, rose above his sword, which met his red eyes.
“Aww!”
“Where!”
As the orc ax fell vertically, Burren straightened her bent knee and pierced the space.
“Aww!”
With the spirit, his sword drew a semicircle.
👌👌👌👌👌
A red line was drawn in the sky, the orc’s head fell, and his body collapsed. When his life was cut off, his appearance that looked like a human returned to his original orc.
“Huh! Whoops!”
Burren took a deep breath with his sword in the ground. But he didn’t avert his eyes. He looked at the body he had created.
“Good job.”
Limer smiled brightly, and Burren looked at him for a moment before turning his head. It was the first time the two of them made eye contact and did not make an impression.
“… … .”
Burren glanced at Raon one last time and returned to her seat.
right!
As Jake snapped his finger, the orc’s corpse disappeared. However, the blood that soaked the floor of the gymnasium remained.
“Okay then, next… .”
“me!”
Martha stood up with a gesture full of confidence. There was no hesitation in the footsteps approaching the orc.
“Hmm… .”
Raon turned to Marta’s dignified back and looked at Runan.
“eww… .”
Contrary to Marta, Runan was trembling as she saw the blood splattered on the floor. His face was as pale as a blank sheet.
Raon’s eyes deepened. Runan has been extremely restrained from seeing blood ever since.
When competing with trainees, and when competing with trainees, he did not injure himself and only took advantage of the opportunity to subdue him.
At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now that I look at it, I think she did that kind of battle because she was afraid of blood.
‘It was blood, too.’
Syrian Sleon engraved fear by showing Runan in blood. It must have been to revive the trauma that popped and killed the squirrel.
A chill subsided over Raon’s red eyes.
‘Syrian Slion.’
I will break the curse you placed on Runan.
