Became the Mafia of the Academy

No, wasn’t our atmosphere okay? Didn’t you solve the challenge well?

To come blindly and apply for sparring?

It was so sudden.

“I asked my grandfather. I want to fight with you, but I won’t accept it. So my grandfather told me how.”

“Way?”

Then, Choi Yeon suddenly changes her expression and furrows her eyebrows.

“I don’t listen to orders from those weaker than me! If you win sparring with me, I’ll join your club!”

Then it goes back to its original expression.

“It’s a deal that can be said.”

“Your grandfather?”

“yes.”

… … When I asked who the idea came from, I wonder if it came from the swordsman’s head.

As you can see, the expression just now was similar to that of Choi Seon-ho.

Certainly, a talent on her level would be coveted by any club.

There was no way that a nobleman with a level of swordsmanship would not be unaware of his granddaughter’s talent, so he might have devised a plan to promote Choi Yeon’s growth by sparring with me on this occasion.

‘That snarky old man… … .’

The scary thing about this plan was that it benefited me too.

Considering the upcoming promotion as well as future events, Choi Yeon’s military power can exert influence just by joining.

It was truly an offer I couldn’t refuse.

can’t do it

“Is that so?”

Coincidentally, I also had something to try.

Newly obtained ‘Billy the Kid’s Shotgun’.

knife and shotgun.

Let’s see who has the strongest weapon in close combat.

Renting a training ground was not difficult.

It was because Ji Soo-hyun was in charge of the training room today.

Ji Su-hyeon, who was silently looking at the surroundings with a bored expression, approached us with a bright smile as soon as she saw us.

“What’s going on in the meeting room where our club members and the chief are on good terms?”

Even though she hadn’t opened her mouth yet, Ji Soo-hyun smiled after looking at Choi Yeon’s expression and me.

“Aha, is that so? hey Even preparing an event like this, saying that the advisor instructor is struggling with his duty. Was today Teacher’s Day?”

“… … I just want to use the arena.”

“Battlefield? Well then. Of course you should let them use it. How about the other kids? Or you and Choi Yeonman?”

“I’m going to fight only Choi Yeon-man with me. Other kids seem to be watching.”

“yes? Too bad. I also enjoy watching the melee. It’s 1:1… … So, are you preparing for midterm exams?”

Ji Soo-hyun manipulates the board while muttering that.

Jin-woo, who was still at this, asked back in surprise.

“A midterm exam? What does this have to do with midterms?”

Sae Ah sighed and shook her head.

“No, didn’t you study before entering the academy? After the midterm exam, if the ranking is decided, the score will also change according to the ranking.”

“Eek?! Is there such a thing? I really didn’t know?!”

“anyway… … But if it’s Jinwoo-ssi, you’ll be laughably ranked in the top 20, so don’t worry too much, right?”

As Sae Ah said, the children belonging to ‘Familia’ had enough skills to be in the upper ranks through mentor classes and other experiences, so there was no need to worry.

The question is, who will take first place?

In fact, even if you die on all other tests, you will receive a score that will allow you to aim for first place in the academy.

“… … that stupid guy Now, once you’ve finished setting up the field, you can start right away. How about unique armaments, for training? Or are you writing your own?”

“Please write your own. Choi Yeon. Don’t you mind too?”

“yes. I brought it too.”

“great. Then let’s do sparring using unique armaments.”

At the same time, the door to the arena opens.

And.

“Yes, Instructor. I have something to ask you.”

“yes? What?”

Weapons that have not yet been registered with the academy before entering the training room.

Take out Billy the Kid’s shotgun.

“This has not been registered as a unique weapon with the academy yet. Do you mind if I use it?”

From my memory, I knew that duplicate registration was allowed, but today something happened and I forgot to register.

Then, she looks at me as if she is full of energy.

“You like old-fashioned guns, too. Won’t you bring a Thompson submachine gun the other day? A shotgun like something out of a western this time?”

“Instructor, don’t you use a gun anyway?”

“It doesn’t matter because I’m using a ‘cane’ instead of a ‘gun’, right? And are these old-fashioned guns and automatic pistols the same?”

“… … This is a relic.”

“anyway… … I’m afraid he’s not rich, so I’ll close my eyes for today, so write roughly. Register tomorrow.”

“thank you.”

I thought it would be more fun anyway, so I allowed it. I don’t care if it benefits me.

After going inside like that, I stood at each end of the arena, facing Choi Yeon.

-Ahh. Are you ready?

voice through the speaker.

I glanced outside and saw Ji Soo-hyeon and other children looking this way, holding popcorn I don’t know where they prepared it.

I don’t know why, but I get annoyed when I see guys holding popcorn during sparring.

“Yes.”

“I am ready too.”

While answering her words, I looked at Choi Yeon in front of me with a shotgun.

It would have been natural if it was obvious, but he brought a new sword, not the broken sword he had seen in the dungeon.

Even at a glance, a blue aura shimmered around the sword, as if boasting that it was not ordinary.

Watch her carefully in preparation for a collision that will happen at the same time as the start.

Leg muscles that were tense as if they would come running at any time, and grips that were full of strength.

And.

-start.

──Pain!

At the same time as the start signal, Choi Yeon rushes at me as if a bullet is fired and lowers her sword diagonally.

“Because you are the opponent. I’ll do it right.”

“──Crazy!”

Is it because of the many incidents that have happened in the meantime?

I barely escaped by rolling my body sideways at her charge, which was rushing at a speed that far exceeded my expectations.

However, Choi Yeon chases after her in an instant and attacks the next one.

thud! With a whooping sound, she kicks the ground.

But.

“If you hit it right, it will hurt!”

been waiting for this

He aimed the gun at Choi Yeon and pulled the trigger of the weapon in which the aura was inserted.

──Quaaang!

A formidable shockwave erupted, and the gun barrel let out a terrifying sound.

The impact was such that the body was pushed back by the recoil alone.

But should I say Choi Yeon? Responding to the attack, he momentarily held out his sword face to block it.

But.

“Keugh?!”

Her body also floats into the air and flies backwards.

“hahahaha!”

The destructive power beyond imagination brings a smile to your lips.

yes! After all, a gun should be this hot!

I quickly corrected my posture and checked the state of Choi Yeon who had been pushed back.

Her sword swaying loudly with a giggling sound.

Her body was also wobbly, with both legs shaking.

Most of the aura around her had already disappeared. Still, it stands.

“Awesome.”

In that short period of time, all the auras were concentrated and blocked.

Judgment, output, control.

If any one of them was lacking, it would have been an act of collapse.

I thought it would end with this one shot, but I never thought I would survive.

“I was shocked.”

“A normal person wouldn’t have been surprised by the ending.”

“No, I was really surprised. My head is still ringing.”

Was that the reason why he didn’t immediately counterattack?

Shaking her head and relieving the shock, she immediately lowers her body and prepares to attack me.

“Still, I think I know something.”

“yes?”

The second charge followed.

When he pulled the trigger at her once more, Choi Yeon jumped up and raised his sword as if he had predicted it.

“Two ends.”

Her signature technique and one of the Chang Chun swordsmen’s techniques, Double Dan (兩斷).

It was a technique that greatly increased the cutting power by vibrating the aura wrapped around the sword, and it was a technique that could cut the shield of most wizards in an instant.

But the downside is also clear technology.

I bent my left elbow and slashed the sword that was coming toward me, and the path of the sword, which had been falling in a straight line, turned to the side and headed toward the floor.

Then, an elbow toward Choi Yeon’s face.

In response, she ducked backwards in a skill-like motion to dodge it, then kicked her foot and launched the shotgun into the air.

“Dangerous gun removal.”

“Is that so?”

I don’t have one gun

Immediately, he stretches out his right arm and pulls out Tommy from the cube, then pulls the trigger at her.

Basic techniques for weapon swapping using subspace artifacts.

It was a technique that was often used in game play.

Choi Yeon, who confirmed Tommy being pulled out of the air, rolled her body backwards and strengthened her body with an aura, and then crouched down to reduce the impact area.

──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! /

The cheerful sound of a typewriter that rings in succession.

However, Tomiro couldn’t break through her strengthened defenses.

However, with each bullet hit, you can see the aura continuing to shear away.

Apparently, he couldn’t move because he was concentrating on defense.

In the meantime, I leisurely retrieved the shotgun that was floating in the air.

“Will it become a beehive if it stays as it is?”

Tommy is stored inside the cube again.

Break the retrieved shotgun to blow away the remaining aura in the chamber, then insert a new aura to finish loading.

And two shots in quick succession.

-Boom! -Boom!

Choi Yeon, who checked the shotgun through the arm gap, tried to avoid the shot by rolling her body.

“Ugh!”

Some of the scattering fragments pierce her defenses.

This is Santan.

“Haze.”

Giggigigi───

Even in the midst of that, the sword was pulled out as it pointed toward the ground.

It scrapes the floor at breakneck speed, while thick smoke begins to fill the area.

One of the techniques of Changchun Swordsman, smoke dance.

It created artificial smoke by rubbing a sword with an aura on the floor, and was a technique that swordsmen focused on close combat developed to approach wizards who focused on long-range attacks.

A troublesome technique that is difficult to even search for because it mixes and scatters auras.

Even at this moment, she was unable to find any emotion of fear, so it is extremely difficult to locate her in this state.

But.

“If you put an aura in it, it’s acting after all.”

This one also did some training on the operation of the Aura.

Immediately put aura on your feet.

And he slammed it hard to the ground.

thump—–!

Stepping on the Jin-Gak creates a huge wind, and the smoke that surrounds it blows toward the outside of the arena.

This is one of the ways to break the haze.

Pushing the smoke itself away with a stronger force.

However, even that short amount of time seems to be enough time for the swordsman of the Changcheon Swordsman to reach the wizard. I could see Choi Yeon shooting out of the smoke that was pushed out.

“Caught.”

“Not yet?”

Could it be that I didn’t know you were coming?

Using the foot that was in contact with the ground as a medium, he fired an aura once again.

An application when I caught a kobold before.

As if dynamite had been set off in the ground, the arena began to shake starting from under my feet.

Correspondingly, her attack movements are also disturbed.

“Keugh!”

As if Choi Yeon couldn’t give up on how strong her fighting spirit was, even while she was unbalanced, she threw her sword at me, even bending her wrists to make an attack.

but shallow

I dodged the sword by bending my body, turned the shotgun, and grabbed the barrel with both hands.

“You shouldn’t think of a shotgun as a weapon that only shoots.

A shotgun is a great weapon even as a club.

Above all, the artifacts in this world had very solid durability.

The silver plate hanging from the butt plate flashed blindingly.

“──Even if you block this, it will hurt.”

Before long, my arm swung in full swing, drawing a neat semicircle as it was.

Her body surged upward with a dull sound.

“homer.”

The taste is awesome.
