Chapter 43 Why the forest? (2)

Something is wrong.

Russo had a hunch, and so did Alex.

It didn’t make sense that they couldn’t feel Mana just a few meters away.

“It’s gone.”

“I felt it, too.”

Alex with a serious look on his face.

Russo with a more serious look on his face.

One word at a time, followed by a brief silence.

The average student didn’t seem to feel anything yet.

Their abilities did not reach that far.

“Should I check?”

“I guess so. Something must be wrong. Didn’t you feel that, too? The instantaneous Mana wave was enormous.”

It was not worth taking the test against the students in Class C.

Will it be used at least for tests aimed at Class A, the Royal Knights?

If the manna had just called out the monster, Henry must be dealing with something he’d never experienced before.

“Maybe it’s a race thing. I said I disappeared, but I can’t believe it. It’s the kind of thing that swallows human vessels.”

“No, it’s gone.”

“Russo.”

“I’ve played races before. I’ve confronted a monster of a similar kind. It’s impossible to kill a flag so completely. Especially at this close distance.”

Russo made eye contact with Alex.

“Don’t you know that?”

It meant that Alex had never played either.

It was true.

The position of the chief instructor of the two men was not meaningless.

These two were the best people here, though the article was not enough.

“…I know. But let’s think about it in common sense, Russo. This is the Royal Academy. It’s a space filled with the king’s will. But something unscheduled will happen…….”

“Is Henry’s talent within common sense?”

“It’s him.”

Alex closed his mouth.

That was right.

Henry’s talent is out of common sense, and Melissa, the tester, is the one who will survive to find out.

“I’ll have to go.”

The test site was already in an atmosphere of being organized.

The students who were watching were moved away from admiration, and so were the faculty members of the Academy.

They weren’t as good in spirit as Russo.

Perhaps it is some of the royal knights and two of the chief instructors who have noticed the situation.

And it was obvious that the only dean authorized the situation.

“Sir Melissa.”

Russo ran into the test site.

It’s something you should never do if the test is in progress, but it’s okay now.

I was standing here as the chief instructor of the Academy.

“Rousseau, chief instructor. May I help you?”

“Where is Henry Camilton?”

“I’ll be out of the exam room soon. You’re still inside.”

“Henry’s not there.”

“It’s…….”

“If you say the same thing, it will be taken as an insult. You don’t think you can even feel that?”

“Excuse me.”

Melissa readily admitted.

It was because he knew Russo’s skills were different from ordinary instructors.

Clumsy lies don’t work.

Melissa immediately told the truth.

“That’s what the dean allowed me to do. I can’t tell you more than that because of the rules of our Knights.”

“What are you saying you’d let me do?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Squeeze.

Russo clenched his teeth.

“Should I get down?”

Regardless of his appearance as an instructor, if he makes a fuss here, it will draw attention.

If the situation goes that far, Melissa can’t just hide it.

but

For a moment, a scene popped into Russo’s head.

The scene where Melissa overpowered him before he could even yell.

‘This was meant to be…’

Seven-star articles.

Russo knew what they were like.

Melissa fired off a threatening momentum, and under the pressure, she thought of it reflexively.

“Sir Melissa.”

“Tell me.”

“I am Henry Camilton’s teacher.”

“Every instructor at the Academy is a teacher of every student.”

“That’s not what you’d feel. I need to know. Where was Henry Camilton taken?”

Then Russo searched everywhere.

There are people who are interested in this area.

It was Russo, and it was Henry Camilton inside.

Austin, in particular, was peremptorily looking this way with a perception of something.

“There is no teacher who does not worry about his student’s safety. Even if your opponent is overwhelmingly stronger than you, and you have no room to beat him.”

“Senior instructor.”

“Let us have the courtesy of the Knights of the Crown, Lord Melissa.”

At the moment, Melissa’s eyes revealed displeasure and then subsided.

Russo wasn’t just doing this.

the safety of one’s disciples

From the moment he used the expression, Russo was in a position to do anything to Melissa.

With a short sigh, Melissa stepped back.

“…I can’t tell you the details. Just as the chief instructor can’t give up, so can I.”

“I understand. I have to understand. I also understand how much Lord Melissa has conceded.”

“Henry Camilton is still taking the test.”

“Did you lack qualifications?”

“No way. I’ve proven enough. It was just too good, and our examiners decided that the student shouldn’t have wasted time.”

“Empty hours…….”

Reflecting on his words, Russo opened his eyes wide.

“It’s the next step.”

“I can’t give you any more details.”

“Yes, that’s enough. But…….”

“A member of our Knights is with Henry, who is taking the test. It’s an invisible distance for Henry, but there will be no danger.”

Assurance that safety is secured.

Russo then opened his face.

No, it’s not on the side level, it’s bright.

“Thank you.”

“I also appreciate your understanding.”

It was enough to be polite to each other.

Russo was now leaving with a grin.

When I returned to my seat, there were two people waiting.

Alex and Austin.

It seemed like he was going crazy, but unfortunately Russo couldn’t tell the truth.

“I can’t tell you. But it’s a good thing. You don’t have to worry. Are you guys gonna wait here, too.

“You have to wait. Otherwise, you won’t be able to sleep well because you’re curious.”

“I’d like to wait here if you allow me. I promised to go back with Henry.”

“As you like.”

Russo nodded pleasedly.

We’ll still need some time before it’s over, and if someone’s waiting for Henry to come out, we’ll have fun sharing the results.

And then suddenly.

Russo came up with a natural concern.

“No way.”

In fact, it was ridiculous, but possible concern because it was Henry.

Are you thinking of taking Henry from the Knights of the Crown?

It was more likely not yet.

That was unprecedented.

But if that happens, then all the problems that made Henry worry will be solved.

They were knights of the king, and the knights of the king did not matter if they were nobles of their own family.

‘Then I’ll have to let you go. There is nothing I can do. That’s as much as I can’t stop.’

I felt bitter for no reason.

But didn’t you say that to Melissa?

Russo himself is Henry’s teacher.

And a true teacher should not stand in the way of his disciples.

***

By the time Russo heard Melissa’s answer.

The party, Henry Camilton, was able to grasp the situation more specifically.

“This is Ballaran. You didn’t leave the kingdom. Also, if the truth is what I learned in geography class, it’s probably a forest in the southern part of the kingdom. This vegetation is a species that can only be found in the South.”

He said he didn’t care about the upcoming monsters.

Continuing nonchalantly, Henry continued his explanation.

“If you’ve found out it’s a Southern Forest, of course you should tell me what lives there. Can you see this?”

Henry pointed to the floor.

Land covered with damp green moss. There was something sticky mucus above it.

“It’s a trail of slime moving. It’s one of the monsters that lives here. They’re all found in the forests of the southern part of the kingdom. That’s why all the southern territories have more than a certain distance from the forest.”

It was in the southern part of the country that lagged behind in the development of the Balaran kingdom.

Slime in the forest was not a kind of punishment, nor was it a level to be considered easy.

They were constantly being created somewhere unless they burned the whole forest.

In the end, human territory was always created to avoid forests, so the number of territories was overwhelmingly smaller than that of other regions.

So you want me to fight Slime? Were those who were coming earlier slime?][Ooh, I think slime is tricky here][The next town is dead with salt]

“As you said, salt is a very useful means of avoiding slime attacks. In fact, some of the southern territories have salt sprinkled on the roads accessible to slime.”

However, slime was just “hate” to the extent, and it took a few wagons to catch them with salt alone.

“Unfortunately, I’m not in a situation to get that salt, and I don’t really have to. There’s more lethal means to them than salt.”

[Is it fire?][Burn it to death!]

You’re not using magic all of a sudden, are you?]

“It’s not going to happen. I’m not a wizard.”

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

“If you use magic, you’ll have 100 dreams.”

Sadly, Henry narrowed his brows.

“I’m really bad at writing. Anyway, what I’m going to do from now on is…….”

[So you’re coming to Slime?] Are there any other monsters?]

“There are others, and the ones that are approaching me now are slime. It’s much faster than I vaguely imagined. At this rate, you’ll reach me in ten minutes.”

I had to get ready.

The moment I thought this was a test.

Henry immediately bought [information] from a sponsored store.

The price is about 500,000 won.

The information obtained was extremely direct to Henry’s test.

“I’ll start the fire first.”

It wasn’t magic.

Henry’s got the ignite.

It was a stone that lit a small flame as soon as you blew a little manna.

Following that.

“You can’t just use this sword to deal with slime. It’s because the concept of “benda” doesn’t apply to them. If you’re a wizard, you can easily deal with it by spraying fireworks, but I need a little different.”

Flames rose from the fossil.

Henry brought the sword to him.

[Are you trying to heat it up?]]

Is that a match? Doesn’t it cool down quickly?]

“I’ll show you.”

A bluish manna began to cover the sword.

It was a very slow, careful flow.

Like the viewers said.

Simply heating up a sword can only kill one or two slime.

“Mana can be used in all sorts of ways depending on the way she handles it. It was usually used simply to cover the sword, but if you look at it now.”

Mana wrapped the flame.

“Like this.”

Fireworks blazed over the sword. Henry slowly moved the entire blade of the sword and loaded the flame onto it.

It was a flame that went out when oxygen was blocked, but Mana was enough to replace oxygen.

“I can cover my sword with the flames that continue to burn until Anna falls. It’s a technology that requires a lot of concentration. It’s hard to use in a fierce battle.”

[So you’re okay now?]

“All you have to do is not get caught in the battle against Slime. Even if you’re caught, you can get out of it if you have a fire.”

In fact, if there was a torch that wouldn’t go out, it was slime that ordinary people could easily deal with.

And right in front.

About 10 meters away, a group of slime appeared.

“You just showed up. Now I’ll show you what happens to the slime that meets the flame.”
