Became a Master of the Academy’s Hidden Skills

obvious but not obvious

“People, what else are you up to?”

“yes?”

Before the first competition, while everyone was preparing, Velos approached me.

Velos had a face that knew everything.

“The guy who usually doesn’t even come close to the special deluxe burger in Mirinae.”

“”Oh, it was just a sudden craving…””

“I don’t want you to say …. Do you think I don’t know you?”

Velos predicts exactly what I will say, spit it out, and then continues his own words.

I want to hear what you are saying.

But it seemed that this was not just a curiosity of Velos.

The people around you could hear the pricks of your ears to see if they were paying attention to this conversation.

‘But again, whoever hears it will know that I make plans every day.’

Even if I did that, I was honestly a bit embarrassed by how much I did and how much I already had this perception.

While I was working hard to live, I was weak, so I just twisted my body back and forth.

Anyway.

“Because there’s really nothing, it’s just a simple request to get together more often later. It’s not just about competitions like this.”

“Later? What and how do you get together?”

“You don’t know about sisterhood, don’t you?”

“What is that?”

Well, this seems to be an unusual system here.

Even though it was a worldview with a modern feel, there was no way it was exactly the same as a real modern concept.

I got up after explaining roughly what a sisterhood relationship felt like to everyone, not just Velos.

“Seokhyun, where are you going?”

“Ah, I have some business to do in my room, so I’m going to go.”

“Don’t be late, because if you’re late, you’ll paint our freshman’s face.”

“Okay. I’ll be back really soon.”

As a month has passed, there have been external changes as well as internal changes.

After being seen off by May-ri, I headed to my dorm room.

To be precise, it was in front of Pephas, the time of hatching.

+++++++++++++++

The difference between beginner and intermediate spirits is clear.

Once the firepower is doubled, the degree of freedom increases, and the time it can stay on the ground system becomes longer.

This results in a story that can be used at a slightly higher level.

‘Okay, very good.’

blatantly jerky.

The sound of cracking eggs was heard three times per second, like the sound of roasting potato pancakes.

When other people have been training hard for a month, I feel like I have only moved half of my body because I have no magic armor and no spirits.

Now was the time to release some of that feeling.

‘I didn’t even think about magic armor because I can’t use it in a place like this anyway.’

The magic armor that was originally made for anti-humans wasn’t intended for humans, but it wasn’t for spirits.

As it is one of the means of immediate power, if it had been carried out in the last month’s time, it would have been in a great crisis.

[Pepais, the spirit of explosion, has risen!]

As soon as the long-awaited message appeared in front of me, the egg shattered.

Passionate!

As soon as the sound of popping popcorn was over, a light lit from inside the egg, and immediately Pephais appeared.

Pephais, who floated in the air as if riding a trampoline, slowly opened his eyes, capturing the bright light.

[Long time no see, Master.]

“Yeah, I really miss you.”

[Something in my head is dizzy due to the influence of the owner. Was the owner usually thinking of two or more things at the same time?]

“Huh? Ah, what…”

As I received Pephais’s words in moderation, I immediately checked the spirit information window.

[Name] Peppers

[Description] It was a lower spirit of fire, but it succeeded in heterogeneous evolution.

You’ve become an Explosive Intermediate Elemental, and you’re pioneering a path no one has ever walked.

Maintaining flames is weaker than normal fire spirits, but it is overwhelming in the aspect of concentrating firepower in an instant.

Combine forces to create a bomb and delay the explosion by up to 30 seconds.

It can slightly interfere with objects that have the concept of ‘explosive’.

[Contract Effect] Strongly use the power of the explosion. You can borrow the power of fire, but the power is reduced from before.

Increases fire resistance by 20% and reduces damage taken from explosions by 50%.

Damage is increased by 50% when using explosives.

You can use [Fuse].

[Fuse] :: When creating a bomb from a mid-long range, connect the fuse so that it can be detonated from a distance.

The fuse can connect routes arbitrarily, and if the fuse is cut in the middle, it cannot be detonated.

—-

it’s done, it’s done

‘This is an absurd result.’

It was not possible to remotely control the explosion without a fuse because he was not yet a high-level spirit, but this was good enough.

Explosion damage reduction 50% and damage dealt 50% increase, the value of these two cannot be put into words.

‘This is enough to not get caught in the explosion and die.’

Mine doesn’t choose any means or method when it comes to achieving its goals, so most of them cause terror when they do something.

Placing bombs to create chaos, using broad-spectrum blast magic for genocide, and more.

As a result, it was as if there was a means to some extent against Main’s main aircraft.

There were adversaries, but in the second half of the game, reducing absolute damage was much more important.

In addition, the firepower has also increased, so there is no need to panic because there are no more single strikes.

If he could designate a weak point, hit one hit, and hit a bomb in one place, that was his special move.

‘You can see that you have got everything you need right now.’

The rest is now finished by winning the final match in the exchange match and tearing it out from the surrounding academy.

It was a battle of exchanges only with words, but in fact, it was a situation that was no different than my own festival.

‘Then let’s go.’

To get a full-fledged craving, I immediately moved to the place where the kids were.

This was the start of the real party.

+++++++++++++++++

Mirinae Academy Colosseum.

“Now then, let’s start the first match zone domination battle!”

“Waa!”

It was filled with more shouts and enthusiasm than the opening ceremony now.

The reason, as Guynard said, was the regional occupation war.

“A Conquest War begins with four regions divided into quarters, each occupying an academy.”

A large hologram was displayed in the center of the stadium and was actively helping the guide’s explanation.

Divided into four regions and four academies, even a quick-witted person could already understand the method by explaining this.

“The regional occupation war begins as soon as all the cadets enter the four portals in front of them. Because it is a virtual space, there is no need to be invaded from the outside. Parents are very concerned about their children’s injuries as they return to the arena immediately in case of injury. You don’t have to. Of course, keep in mind that you can’t get hurt at all.”

The first class of the first year traditionally conducted at Mirinae Academy.

It was a method that borrowed survival survival as it is, and the scale was bigger and a rule was added.

Unlike survival survival, where the last survivor wins, the academy that captures all regions wins the regional occupation war.

As an extreme example, you could win even if there were 0 survivors of the academy by occupying all areas and dying.

“Also, because the priority for terrain follows last year’s first year ranking! The academy that will choose the terrain first this time is Belutos!”

“Belutos! Bellutos! Bellutos! Bellutos!”

Ellua chose the mountainous terrain without any hesitation with the expression that she was receiving what was taken for granted amid cheers and enthusiasm.

Difficult to invade, geographically superior, and strategically advantageous, in a way, it was a natural choice.

Since the regional occupation war divides the island into 4 equal parts, there are favorable and unfavorable terrain.

In terms of coordinate plane, the first quadrant was mountainous, the second quadrant was forest, the third quadrant was forest and plains, and the fourth quadrant was plain.

The most unfavorable, generally considered, was the quadrant plain.

Because there is no cover around, it is disadvantageous to defense, and it is difficult to move quickly if you want to attack.

For this reason, representatives of the first-year exchanges and competitions in the history of the exchanges said that the plain terrain was the worst in a hundred or a hundred.

“Now then, the next academy to choose is Mirinae!”

“Mirinae is the best! Mirinae! Awesome! Show it!”

Seok-hyeon Lee still appeared in the same outfit as before, spreading his arms as if enjoying the cheers, and attracted attention.

“uh?”

“Well?”

“You crazy…”

He drew the plain topography with a very natural expression.

“Cadet Lee Seok-hyun, is it correct to choose the plain terrain?”

How embarrassing this was to the extent that even the guide did not go to the next order.

Lee Seok-hyeon, who started to draw attention in a different way, by pouring cold water on the heated stadium in an instant.

He answered with a bright smile with a no-nonsense expression.

“Yes, Mirinae Academy goes to the plains.”

Can’t spit on your smiling face? No, it depends on the situation, and now you can.

“Hey you crazy bastard! Are you kidding me! What are you! Pick what you are!”

could spit

“…I thought he was a guy with something, but he was just an idiot.”

Arak regretted for a moment that he had highly regarded Lee Seok-hyun, and Ray May was the same.

As Raymei evaluated Lee Seok-hyun as something suspicious, her face was slightly red from shame.

‘You were just an idiot…’

A situation in which everyone who supports Mirinae Academy was turned into enemies and the evaluation of those around them plummeted.

Even in this situation, Lee Seok-hyun did not lose his smile.

“Then… the next… order is Luamos.”

As soon as the rest were called, they immediately picked advantageous terrain.

As in the textbook, Luamos chose a forest and Tanteroy chose a terrain with a mixture of forest and plain.

“Change! Change! This is invalid! No, how could such a person be the representative! Who is it! Who is it!”

“Don’t f*ck! I know how much I bet here!”

“Belutos! It’s a win-win!”

“Ruamos! Show me! It’s worth it!”

“Tanteroy fighting!!!”

All academies except Mirinae Academy receive enthusiastic support.

“Then, the battle for regional control begins now!”

Amid boos and cheers, the battle for occupation of the area, which had many masks before the start, was about to begin.
