137 – Uncool – 2
Sipping tea, Veronica looked at the people in the annex garden.
In the place where people gather to train to prevent the invasion of Cronus, the foreign god of time, the place where her gaze is, of course, is where the wise man is.
The problem is the woman next to him.
Warrior Claire.
The sage was teaching her in detail.
‘Ummm…’
last night.
Hyeonu came to visit us when we were going to sleep after the meal was over and each of us did our own thing. And since we wanted to talk for a while, I was honestly looking forward to it.
‘I never thought I’d bring up such a thing…’
But, as always, he shattered her expectations.
He calmly said that those who belonged to the warrior party should also be taught well.
And he said that he would like to treat them well.
“…May I ask for treatment?”
Reventia approached Veronica after taking a sip of tea. Veronica, who stared at her silently, immediately healed and cured.
“…Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
Embarrassed and apologetic, Leventia bowed her head. Knowing what had happened in the principality, Leventia couldn’t bear to look at Veronica.
The terrible screams and screams that Hyeonu saw there.
Because it was none other than Veronica who took care of him through the pain.
As much as I felt sorry for him, I felt grateful for her, so approaching Veronica was burdensome.
“Because Hyeonu asked for it.”
Leventia nodded at her words and slowly turned around.
What she sees is also wise.
And Claire, a warrior who wields a sword beside the sage.
Veronica let out a deep sigh as she went back to training after watching the two of them while trying to hide her complicated feelings.
‘Honestly, I hate it…’
Rather than treating them, I’d rather just get a potion from the Cherubim and drink it.
However, even though Hyeonu had said that, it was impossible to bluntly refuse.
Veronica shook her head, recalling what Hyeonu said last night.
And naturally, the gaze is directed back to him.
After the training is over, the next Dalian. Hyeonu changed Moongwang into an ax and attacked Claire, and she swung her arms while trying to block it.
When Hyeonu fell to the floor after being hit by it, Veronica clenched her fists.
but didn’t intervene. Because this is also what the sage said yesterday.
‘Hyunwoo is nice to everyone, but people are too altruistic. No, that’s nice, but…’
Of course, that’s also part of Hyeonu, so I like him too, but I couldn’t help but have complaints.
It seems to him that there is only Hyeonu as a ‘sage who saves others’.
Always helping others to the point of seeming to live for them.
whether it is an innocent person.
whoever hurt you that much.
Such an altruistic appearance is more noble than priestly.
What is incomprehensible brings questions, and in that sense, the sage can be said to be the pinnacle of incomprehensibility.
where did he come from and where is he going
what do you want and what do you do
no one can know that
“Yum yum. Understand the sage. Give up trying to understand. Joe. It will be good.”
Then I heard a voice from beside me.
It was Wheeloth, who had been teaching magic to Lucille over there before.
Have I been thinking too deep? I didn’t even know she was coming.
She reached out her hand for a luxurious cookie on the table and wrung it out.
“Me too. No. Gwalteirak too. Hee hee. Because I didn’t understand him.”
Wheeloth, the so-called mad witch.
Gwalteirak, the apostle of Cosmo, a foreign god of space.
Even those who are quite far from the ordinary do not understand Hyeonu.
What does that mean?
“Hmm…”
Veronica groaned.
Only then can he break through the wall of his heart and really get inside?
Sipping cold tea, Veronica calmly looked at the wise man.
“I’ve been thinking about why I can’t understand him, and I’ve hypothesized… would you like to hear it?”
Cecil, who had been quiet for a long time after taking her seat at the table, opened her mouth. At her remarks, everyone in the room looked at them.
“What do you think?”
Lucille, who had come with Wheeloth and sat down to rest, was puzzled.
Cecil is an excellent magician and has considerable knowledge.
If that’s the hypothesis she made. I was sure there must be something.
“That’s what you mean…”
***
Intense knee strike. After blocking it, I turned around and swung the axe, and Claire blocked it and bounced back.
“Suck!!”
I used a spell to send a shadow snake to Claire. Seven shadow snakes were launched and while they were aiming for her, they stepped on the floor and created a rock spear to continue their attacks.
The ordeal on the second floor is a route where the three routes are united.
There, you can go through the ordeal with all nine people gathered, and clear the ordeal by defeating powerful enemies three times.
The first of these enemies is the Time Shaman.
The sorcery he uses is a little special sorcery called the sorcery of time, and its characteristic is that he can activate it at the timing he wants.
In other words, in order to fight him, you must be able to avoid or block the spells that are simultaneously activated in multiple directions.
And the only ones who can do that are Claire, who has a portal, and me, who can use teleportation.
I knew, but Claire didn’t, so I had no choice but to practice the response as much as possible.
“Yap!”
Chin’s throwing dagger flies at Claire. The moment I managed to block it, my rock spear struck her in the shoulder.
“Oops!!”
Claire, who had been hit and flew away, swung the warrior’s sword.
A portal was created behind her, and Claire, who was sucked into it, opened the portal above me and swung her sword out.
-Chae Ae-aeng!!
As the moonlight collides with the warrior’s sword, the cherub behind me throws a bottle.
Bottled corrosive liquid.
A few drops splashed onto her skin, but Claire just frowned and didn’t stop attacking.
-Chwaaak!!
At that time, the trap magic Karin placed on the floor is activated.
Six lines of magic chains move like snakes to bind Claire’s body.
However, she quickly activated a portal and then appeared behind me and swung her sword.
“… got it.”
“Excellent.”
Claire seemed to have gotten used to the battle using the portal.
Portal is a skill that consumes a lot of mana, but that statement was the same as saying that it can be used as much as it is backed by mana.
That’s why I equipped her with magic recovery and magic amount increasing equipment as much as possible, and as a result, she was able to fight like this.
“hahaha…”
But it wouldn’t have been easy.
After dropping the hero’s sword, Claire sat down and gasped for breath. I reached out my hand to her.
“Uh. Huh?”
“Because I’ll distribute the magic power.”
“eww…”
Claire, who was groaning, nodded slightly and took my hand. After the magic power was redistributed and Claire calmed down, I checked the time while inserting the moonlight.
“Claire. Tonight…”
“Ah. Yes. Training tonight too? Okay. I…”
“No. Let’s go out to eat.”
“… Huh? Ah. Everything. The others are also going. Go. Are you going?”
Claire, who had been hardened, spoke hastily. I shook my head at her.
other kids
They will be busy training.
“Lacy! Karin!”
“uh?”
“why?”
I called the two who were sitting at the table at the end of the annex. As they approached, puzzled, I pointed at the other personnel.
“Train properly this evening.”
“Uh… I see. But what about you?”
“I have to go out to dinner with him.”
“With Claire?”
Lacey narrowed her eyes and tilted her head. Is there anything you want to say?
“Are you okay?”
“What else can’t be done?”
“…That’s it too. Got it.”
After the two agreed and went back, I turned my eyes to Claire again.
“…….”
Why is the kid a bit strange? what? Did you overtrain?
I flicked my fingers in front of her eyes and tried clapping, but there was no response.
“hey!!”
“Huh? Uh uh?!”
Claire came to her senses only after I grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her. Very confused, she cried out with a blushing face.
“Well, please take good care of me!”
what do you want me to do
I’m going to have a private talk while eating.
Anyway, Claire ran into the annex, blushing. Anyway, morning training is over, so it’ll be fine.
After lunch, I looked after the others. The target was Cyron.
“You die then. Are you not doing it right?”
The role of the shaman in the trials of the second floor is quite large. Even if I and Claire catch the shaman of the first hour right away, the second enemy is a monster that seals magic and physical ‘skills’.
“No, though.”
“The black hound is the two of you and me. Of course, they will help too…”
In a situation where all the skills that boast strong attack power are sealed, others will only be able to use normal attacks.
Of course, flat hitting doesn’t help. But is the black hound standing still?
It is also a shaman’s job to block the attacks of the black hounds.
“Mmm. It’s difficult.”
“Even if it’s difficult, we have to do it. If we don’t, we’ll all die.”
And the world will perish too.
“Or should I borrow a spear from Gwalteirak?”
“Huh? Can I borrow that?”
“What can’t be done. The spear he uses is a very good one. It also strengthens the power of magic.”
Otherwise, you can look for unique equipment that can be obtained quickly. What kind of equipment can you get by spending a day or two…
“Anyway, let’s think about that later. Alright, let’s continue.”
I couldn’t stop training. It was around sunset when the training was finished after designating Cylons and imaginary enemies.
“Hey. Hyeonu. I was supposed to have a drink with the kids tonight. Do you want to have a drink with me?”
“I have an appointment with Claire tonight.”
“… Huh? No, why?!”
“There are many reasons, so it’s hard to pin point.”
“Um… It’s kind of hard for me to say this. Are you okay?”
“It is necessary.”
“What on earth do you not need…?”
Cyron shook his head with a tired expression. But he wasn’t offended by my refusal.
Because it’s cool too
“Yes. What are you going to eat?”
“Don’t even think about following me.”
“…Sheesh.”
I smiled at her pouting lips. and after a while
Claire, taking off her armor and carrying only the warrior’s sword, approaches.
Claire’s expression, which seemed quite bright, stiffened slightly the moment she met Cyron.
well, i guess i’ll do it
No matter how much you apologized and accepted yesterday, the relationship between the two will not improve at once.
“……”
“…..”
While looking at each other in silence, it was none other than Claire who spoke first.
She smiled shyly as I approached and opened her mouth calmly.
“Shall we go?”
“Um. Yes. Go…”
It was then.
“It’s a big deal! Sage-nim!!”
A knight from the Lily Order runs into the garden.
“Now, the Kobyles estate, which is a little far from the capital, is being attacked by unknown monsters and monsters!”
At that report, Claire slightly bit her lip.
Don’t worry.
‘Cause I’ll keep my promise
“Let’s go and eat.”
“…yes.”
Even at dawn, the restaurant is open.
Of course, it won’t be more luxurious than the place I originally wanted to go to.
