I Became an Academy Regular

Attack – Variable (3)

The smell of rusty metal was locked in the forest. It was a smell I was getting used to now, but it wasn’t at all. When did you ever smell such a strong scent? Is this the first time since Eclipse?

As the situation becomes chaotic, he becomes abruptly distracted and miscellaneous thoughts come to mind. He seems to be doing this to avoid any ominous thoughts.

uhm. Now, this kind of thing doesn’t activate the ‘strong mind’.

Whether this should be called growth, goosebumps rise up my spine. The fact that the blood smells so badly…

“Is something going on with the aspiring hero of Arwell…, um?”

“······This.”

Beatrice and Aiden, who came next, moved their hands toward their noses as if they had also smelled them. Beatrice sniffed the blood and muttered with a serious expression.

“This smell … seems to have just happened.”

Aiden made a tongue-tied sound and his expression distorted as if angry. Aiden seems to have thought of a bad ending. If not, it would be nice, but in any case, if we continued to move forward, another crisis was sure to appear.

“Sword. What do you feel?”

I asked the Holy Sword in case I didn’t know. I don’t have the courage to go inside. This is because the horrific sight to be seen in front of you is expected, and someone might be waiting inside.

[···Well. I don’t know.]

But the holy sword muttered like it was strange. It must have been that he had used quite a bit of energy earlier, so he couldn’t feel anything even with his senses.

can’t help it In fact, the worst had already been assumed.

‘Evil tendencies.’

The fact that Noah Park killed all the people here by any chance.

The already active ending privilege is ‘View bad endings with a neutral tendency’. In the process, the story does not change much, even if there is a case where the disposition changes.

Just the specs are different.

What would have happened if he had changed like that in a place called the Nether, the result was obvious.

‘It must have been like Drakan.’

It is a state in which reason has become obsessed with erosion and cannot be controlled.

The content of the Corrupted Hero Quest, which had come to mind in the past, was also different from usual. The existing condition, ‘Noah Park’s survival’, did not appear this time.

Maybe it has something to do with this flow. ···It was my opinion, but maybe there was a possibility that Park Noah would appear as an enemy to clear the quest.

The main character is Noah Park, but the ‘player’ who proceeds the quest through the system is ‘I’.

‘It is clear that the top forces came here with Noah Park.’

If I had known the location, I would have come to this town sooner.

ok. For what purpose did the tower do this? There’s no way they wouldn’t know that there’s a great danger to Top’s child, Park Noah.

‘No, maybe.’

Did you deliberately put me in danger?

When I woke up, Beatrice called me with an anxious look.

This is the village we are heading to because we can meet Drakan. It must have been an ominous thought that such traces appeared in such a place.

I also had a bad feeling, so I wasn’t sure.

Currently, Drakhan has reason, but it is through ‘faith’ that he has gained the ability to resist erosion and deal with it.

If all the owners of this bloody smell were villagers.

Besides Park Noah, you may have to fight a fallen hero. The odds of winning a battle like this were small.

Should I rather call the layer now?

Then at least it will be safer than it is now. Although Beatrice’s conversation would not take place.

‘What if?’

After thinking about it for a while, I finally lowered the case I was carrying on my back. Bump. When the case was opened, well-groomed weapon parts were stored inside.

“This is the custom weapon I asked for from Seo-yeon Ryu.”

I first assembled the custom weapon into a gun and stood up. It was too late to join the Lairt side now. just have to do it somehow.

“Aren’t you going to carry the case?”

“uh. No problem.”

Meanwhile, Beatrice had a firm expression on her face as if she had quickly made up her mind.

“Everyone is ready. Will the aspiring Aiden Heroes be here?”

“no. I will follow.

“I thought about it. There might be more people around.”

Beatrice took out a kite shield and a different kind of sword to cover her body in subspace. In preparation for fighting in the woods, it seems that he has the appropriate equipment.

“Take this.”

“yes? Oh, thank you.”

The one Beatrice gave Aiden was quite thick armor. The advanced equipment was enough to protect Aiden. Seeing Aiden grunting and putting on the armor, he asked.

“it’s okay? Is there anything inconvenient?”

“it’s okay. At this weight, I think I can run.”

I mean, it’s worthwhile to build up your strength. I looked at Arwell standing next to me. He seemed to be quite shocked by the smell he smelled here, and the color of his face was still not good.

“Arwell. Now, do you know how dangerous it is to be bruised like that?”

“Is Noah okay?”

That’s right. I would like to say, but there is a high probability that it will not. Arwell looked even more anxious because he was certain that Noah Park would be here. But there was nothing I could do.

“Yes. Seo Ji-han.”

“Eat your heart out.”

As soon as he said those words, Arwell, who had a pale expression on his face, slowly closed his eyes.

Obviously, a bloody smell would prick his nose due to his sensitive sense, but he took a deep breath and exhaled it.

Arwell’s face, when he opened his eyes again, was brighter than before.

Weapons fly incessantly. Whenever the black light flashed, Drakhan’s Riel continued to change shape.

Wow! Strikes the spear and deflects the sword. It was an attack from all sides, but it never hurt Drakan once.

‘ね.’

But it was the same with Drakhan.

Drakhan only defended, but could not attack. Riel flashed and changed from a sword to a black shield. Drakhan picked it up and covered his body.

Empty! Weapons hit the shield and attacked. The impact was so strong that whenever it received an attack, it dug into the ground and the ground could not withstand the force.

Drakhan couldn’t help but have doubts.

‘What the hell kind of weapon…?’

Wasn’t it broken against the weapon man, Riel? Whoa! It was clear that Riel would be in danger if he endured the continuous vibrations and power.

Drakhan left the shield as it was, and moved only his body round and round. And the moment it deviated from the orbit of the weapons, he pulled his shield and changed Riel’s form.

Riel, who had turned into a mace, smashed the weapons that had just hit him. Her weapons bounced off easily without breaking.

Drakhan gradually realized the strange sensation from his fingertips. His prophetic ‘faith’ is disappearing.

It was only after I felt it that the surroundings began to enter my narrowed field of vision. The man was still clapping his hands and controlling the weapons.

‘···her.’

His hot hair suddenly cooled as if cold water had been poured on it. In the meantime, a spear lying on the floor appeared, and she was shot at Drakan again.

The sound of sharp cutting of the air pierced my ears, but Drakhan only lowered Riel without taking any action.

I was just watching the windows that shoot out.

Whoo! Soon the spear passed through Drakhan’s head.

Drakhan slowly raised his hand and checked the part through which the spear had passed. There was not even a scratch.

The same goes for other attacks.

Eventually, the weapons that had been dodging, blocking, and striking up until now were shot at Drakhan, but like the previous attack, they only passed through Drakhan’s body and did no damage.

“…you got hit.”

‘Sensory manipulation’ presumed to be a man’s personality. It must have been that he had been harassing himself up until now due to that power.

Rather than being fooled, the thought of putting the village in danger made Drakhan’s emotions boil. As if he had grasped her situation, the black light flashed and Riel returned to his human form.

“Drakan!”

“…I know, Riel. Come back.”

Drakhan suppressed his emotions and turned to the village.

It wasn’t good to be swept away by emotions right now. Also for erosion rocking on the floor.

The fact that faith is disappearing means that there is a problem in the village.

I had to hurry back.

Beatrice began to walk forward, covering herself with a shield. And behind them were me and Arwell, followed by Aiden at the very back.

The actual battle personnel were only me and Beatrice, but if the opponent was not Drakan, Aiden, who was good at fighting, could also participate.

Soon, Beatrice stopped walking as if she had found someone. I was vigilant by pointing a custom gun from the side.

‘Who is it?’

I knew who Beatrice had found.

A mysterious man was sitting in front of me with his back showing. Unfortunately, it was the corpse of the wizard that the man was sitting on.

‘Ugh.’

The smell of blood stung my nose with a stronger smell than I was used to. Perhaps there was a big battle in the forest, and there were several weapons stuck in the body of the wizard. The number was not so small that blood pooled on the floor.

“…instructor. All of those wizards are a fairly large school.”

Aiden murmured as if he knew what the wizards belonged to as a robe. To be a fairly large school means to have some power. In addition, there are not one or two, but the color of the robes is divided into about five.

Judging by the trembling of Aiden’s voice, that man is strong enough to deal with such wizards alone. Under the circumstances, it was certain that the man had killed all the wizards.

Looking around, there was no trace of Park Noah and Drakhan. Was it my mistake that Noah Park got involved?

“Aiden. Magic?”

“It is possible.”

There are no drakans around town. Who the hell is that man?

“Are you from the Yoosung Academy?”

At that time, the man asked if he felt our popularity, without looking back. Although there were many of us, there was a sense of relaxation in his voice.

The problem is that even when you hear your voice, you don’t know who I am. If he was this strong, he would definitely be a named character…

tuk. Beatrice stepped forward and raised his sword.

“Instructor?”

“Everyone is nervous.”

Beatrice said, staring at the man with a nervous expression.

“That person is the ‘Weapon Master’.”

Then the man turned his head and checked us. In an instant, his gaze fell on Arwell, and he smiled bitterly. At that action, I asked Arwell, who was next to me.

“Arwell. Who are you…”

“coming!”

Suddenly Beatrice cried out urgently. I wondered why, but I could see the weapons that had been stuck in the mage’s corpse rising into the air in my sight.

···The strange thing is that I did not see any flow of mana in my eyes.

‘Gear sword?’

I don’t know what kind of state it is, but it must have been that the weapons were handled only by a man’s will without the intervention of mana.

All the blades of weapons go this way. It was not difficult to predict what would happen soon.

Beatrice raised her shield, and Aiden’s blue flames began to burn from her hands. At the same time, weapons began to fire towards this side.

The holy power of the holy sword flows towards me. As I raised my amplified mana, a blue line was drawn on my forearm.

A wall made of holy water surrounded it.
