I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy

Around the time when Eleanor and the others were colliding with [Myungwang].

Alexios opened his eyes with a cold chill.

“hello. Sir Alexios. Are you feeling well?”

“… … .”

Alexios closed his eyes again to organize his thoughts.

He remembered that he had abandoned his party members and charged Oz, and that he was ultimately defeated.

And he didn’t say anything until he had finished looking around and appreciating the situation.

By the time the arrangement was over, Alexios spoke about what was most bothering him.

“Arrieta, don’t do that because that tone is offensive.”

“It’s not good.”

Arrieta’s tone was awkward, perhaps because of Alexios’ memories of his monastic days.

“I don’t even want a lap pillow, but couldn’t you put at least a layer of cape on your head?”

“I hate it because one is mine and Oz gave me one.”

“… … You are also seriously ill.”

Alexios let out a sigh at the saintess’ bare face.

Is that a saintess that people can rely on?

In Alexios’ eyes, he looked like a child complaining.

It felt like an annoying little sister had increased.

“Why did you do that?”

“What.”

“Why did you hate Oz so much?”

“Well… … .”

In the simplest terms, it would be ‘just’. But it was not a problem that could be defined so simply.

Alexios knew.

Oz wasn’t that harsh.

Even if he didn’t consider them family.

At least he thought of Oz as family.

“Maybe I don’t understand.”

“That’s me too.”

Arrieta lowered her head.

She couldn’t figure out why Oz was drawing a line against her.

I don’t think he hates me, but I don’t know why he wants to distance himself.

“The direction is a little different from you.”

Alexios spat bitterly at Arrieta, who grumbled, and then began to speak in a slightly lower tone.

“What the hell is he thinking?”

Alexios tried to gauge Oz’s purpose by looking at Arrieta’s depressed appearance.

‘Why was he drawing a line on everything?’

In the first place, didn’t everything start when Oz left the monastery to get Arrieta back?

But why draw a line even against Arrieta?

Was it really necessary?

Until now, I thought it was Oz’s own conviction to wait until he fulfilled his promise.

‘On what basis?’

But Oz was drawing a line on everything.

It was the same for Arrieta as well as for himself. But some were different.

I didn’t know the criteria. If it was power or position, there was no need to ignore Alexios.

Right now, Alexios alone was able to defeat the rest of Oz’s party members except for him.

“Alexios will be fine. With Oz, you cleared up the past.”

“Well… … I’m not sure if that was settled.”

Arrieta’s dissatisfaction forced Alexios’ doubts to deepen. Why was it now?

Alexios had already challenged Oz several times.

But each time, the only thing that came back was the bitter humiliation of defeat and Oz’s attitude as if he drew a line from everything.

But something has changed.

“Hey, Alexios. What happened with Oz?”

“… … .”

“Isn’t that just because of what happened in the past?”

Lying doesn’t work with a saintess. Alexios sighed in embarrassment.

Yeah, in the end, it was something that had to be revealed to someone.

“Yeah, I was trying to understand. Because I also understood that I was weak and useless back then. So, until recently, it felt like a challenge.”

“Yes, I know because I have seen and heard something. but… … .”

“… … .”

Alexios acted like swallowing the words he was about to say several times.

I was worried if I could say that to Arrieta, who likes Oz.

Alexios, who had been pouting for a long time, eventually brought out the question he had been harboring to Arietta.

“I… … .”

This runaway is just an opportunity. I have heard such contempt and disregard hundreds of times in my life.

If I couldn’t endure that one thing, I wouldn’t be able to become the [King of Fist].

It is no different that he harbored animosity toward Oz.

“I was thinking that he might have killed Master.”

It was a doubt.

“What… … ?”

“That was the reason why I was chased without even making an excuse to the brother-in-law who thought I killed my teacher.”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“How many wizards do you think can kill your master?”

Alexios fled to ＜Skientia＞ while being framed for the death of his master, the previous [King of Fist].

The reason why he became a prime suspect is no different. It was because Alexios was silent despite having witnessed the murderer of his master.

“The guy who killed my teacher was about the same age as me.”

Alexios trusted Oz. So it was silent.

I couldn’t say anything until I was convinced.

“He was wearing a mask, but he had a similar physique to Oz, with black hair and sky blue eyes.”

But it was also a situation where there was no choice but to be suspicious.

The situation was so exquisite.

The timing when Alexios was not by the side of the former [Fist King].

That is, the point where I went to challenge Oz and came back.

He returned on foot, but Oz had magic as an effective means of transportation.

Teleport is a high-ranking magic, but Oz, [the successor of the King of Sorcery], could have used it.

But even with all that out of the way, there was one thing I couldn’t help but doubt.

“The man who killed my teacher said this.”

The black-haired man who had killed his master and stood in the middle of the pool of blood said in a voice like Oz.

-late. You are still stupid and worthless. Alexios.

Inside the expressionless mask are cold blue eyes.

It is surprisingly the same color as the eyes of the time when he trampled on his dignity and looked down arrogantly.

The words pierced Alexios’ heart like a dagger.

“I didn’t think Oz was the culprit, but… … .”

Seeing Oz stomping on a professor who looked like a fighter during practice, his suspicions came back to mind.

So dissatisfaction and doubt piled up and ran out of control.

“I’m sure he’s hiding something from us.”

After that, Alexios stood up. I decided to bury the question once again.

Thinking of Oz’s appearance in this fight, it seemed that Oz wasn’t the one who killed his master.

“Rather than that, tell me now, Arrieta. What did he say before he left here?”

“… … Alexios and I told you to follow me slowly.”

“What, you didn’t protect me, but you waited to pamper me? Sometime they say I’m a high-class manpower, aren’t I a child whose words change frequently?”

“Still, I fall under the category of advanced escort.”

“You’ll be fine.”

Following Alexios who was lying down, Arrieta, who had been sitting quietly on her knees, stood up slowly.

A significant number of the dead were approaching them.

“I don’t know what the son of a bitch is thinking.”

Alexios murmured as he watched the soldiers of the [Myeongwang] begin to appear one by one in the forest.

It was a large army of zombies, ghouls, and skeletons made up of the dead of the ＜Underworld＞.

“… … How the hell do you anticipate these problems?”

Awesome—!

With the sound of Arrieta’s song, [King of Fist]’s bombardment began.

* * *

Cross the forest at the test site and search for the place where Marie is.

Still, with [Contemplation], it won’t take long.

“raw… … ruler… … .”

“Aren’t the movements too fast compared to the slack tone?”

Kwajik!

It looks like a limp zombie, but the movement is like an eagle hunting for prey, smashing the head of the dead with a fist.

“It’s true, I couldn’t be a gentleman. I’m sorry.”

I was so embarrassed that my fists went out before magic.

Fortunately, Arietta’s magic remained, so there was no shortage of strength, but as a mage, her behavior a moment ago was not good.

For some reason, it seems like I’m doing more hand-to-hand combat than magic lately.

Not a good thing.

Isn’t it barbaric?

“raw… … ruler… … .”

“Suck!”

Awesome!

Even though the head is broken, the zombie’s joints that extend its arms are trampled on and destroyed.

I was foolish to think that it would stop to the point of breaking the brains of those whose brains were rotting in the first place.

“There are more than I thought… … .”

My spine runs cold at the number of dead people flocking towards me.

For a moment, I was worried about leaving Arrieta behind, but now that I think about it, I’m not in a position to worry about her.

“Did you just throw away that baby?”

The magic arts that Arrieta uses are only R-class in terms of offensiveness, but if the target is the dead, it is unmatched.

The dead who heard Arietta’s singing would collapse on the spot just for that.

Her song is a kind of redemption. Anyone who has fallen into hell will be looking up at heaven, so it can be taken for granted.

intermediate magic

[Storm Blade]

It cuts through the ribs of a skeleton that crosses between trees with the blade of the wind, revealing its core.

bang!

Then, with his fists, he smashed the skeleton’s core that was resisting while leaning against the bursting wind.

With this, the skeleton’s soul must have returned to its original place, whether it was in the underworld or heaven.

“Certainly this is more comfortable.”

Arrieta’s divine technique also strengthened her mana, but it was inevitable that it would be more comfortable to swing her limbs without thinking.

I think it’s okay to solve it a little barbarically until the effect of the new technique wears off.

“Because no one is looking at me anyway… … .”

The biggest reason was that.

Even though I look like this, I have lived my life paying attention to my usual appearance.

Even when using non-trivial magic, the back was straight and deployed, so there was no choice but to be comfortable when not caring about other people’s eyes.

“raw… … ruler… … !”

I grabbed the wrist of the new skeleton that was running toward me and swung it at the other dead.

I wanted to try it once.

Kwajik!

But even that couldn’t last long. The skeleton’s joints must have been weaker than expected, so they were quickly pulled out.

“this… … . well, yes.”

It doesn’t really matter.

The dead are scattered around, aren’t half of them a group of skeletons?

I was embarrassed to touch the zombie-type dead, but it worked out.

“Still, it would be better not to save mana here.”

intermediate magic

[stalagmite]

bang!

After concentrating for a bit, he slams his feet down with all his might and deploys the magic.

Stalagmites to limit the movements of the dead gathering from all sides suddenly sprout.

Zombies and skeleton-type dead with low physical durability could be neutralized with just this magic.

If there is a problem, it is the deceased of the commander individual, which can be said to be a high-ranking undead.

Death Knight and Richie, who were watching the situation among the miscreants.

they started moving.

The high-ranking undead had no choice but to be uncomfortable even for me.

Moreover, the lich can use magic better than me. He is a high-level wizard.

“It hurts your pride.”

The Death Knight was in the front row, and the Lich was in the back row, glaring at me warily.

I don’t know who the monster is.

“Whatever… … .”

At best, it is at the level of a narrow chin-up to the SR rank.

I can’t be my opponent who has received the physical ability of the SSR level by receiving Arrieta’s magic technique.

Draw a construction formula in the air.

As if the Death Knight was wary, he raised his shield and approached me. I was confused about whether the guy’s occupation was a guardian or a warrior, but I could tell from the way he responded.

“Are you a warrior? Then the durability will be lower than expected?”

Snatches the shield the Death Knight was holding with overwhelming physical abilities corresponding to the SSR grade.

“Does the shield look good?”

Prejudice and carelessness.

It’s the weapon I use the most.

“raw… … uh huh What, give it back.”

“Who’s taking it? I just want to see you for a second.”

The Death Knight, who insisted only on the word sagging and living, speaks in a fluent tone.

However, even though he was speaking on his own, he remained rigid and stiff as if he did not understand the situation.

Well, it will. You would have thought that I was a wizard because I was developing magic until just now.

Even though I showed hand-to-hand combat, it was against low-level zombies or skeletons, so you couldn’t guess how strong I was.

You wouldn’t have imagined that it would be higher than you in the first place.

“Warriors and wizards aren’t a good combination than I thought.”

Not taking damage from allies’ magic was like that in the game, but it’s different in real life. Magic is something that can even injure you up close.

If so, it can only be said that the combination with a general warrior character who has lower durability than a guardian and even has to be close to the enemy is the worst.

Of course, I don’t know if the opponent is a warrior who specializes in long-range attacks like Alexios, but… … .

“Don’t you have the ability to do that?”

“Keugh?!”

If there was a means of long-distance attack, it would have been a long-distance check from the beginning.

But he came towards me.

It must have been to buy time for the lich to unfold his magic.

Attach the borrowed shield to the opposite arm side of the Death Knight and restrict movement.

The Death Knight couldn’t swing his sword properly because of the distance and the area of the shield that was too close.

Moreover, my strength is far above that guy’s. If we push him to where the lich is like this–

“what… … ?!”

Richie couldn’t help but panic.

He will contemplate whether to use the advanced magic he has perfected.

When it comes to Death Knight, he is the commander.

It’s not a good idea to hastily sacrifice such a high-ranking undead.

The other person should know better.

But it is also true that I am getting closer to him every minute.

Richie’s choices are fixed.

“for a moment… … . stop!”

Before it gets any closer, I use advanced magic to blow away all the Death Knights.

“… … I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”

Lich finally deploys magic.

The Death Knight’s face was hidden by the helmet, so he couldn’t see it, but he could feel that he was flustered.

Well, he wouldn’t have thought that he would go after himself like this.

“What?!”

And taking advantage of the embarrassment, he slightly pushes the Death Knight.

This created some distance between me and him.

Of course, it was impossible to avoid advanced magic at this distance.

But I have a means to block even advanced magic.

[Space Barrier Lv. One]

The reason I pushed the Death Knight was to secure that space.

The [Space Barrier] was formed around me, so if I stayed close to it, the Death Knight would also come within range.

After a while, the advanced magic developed from the tip of the lich’s wand dyes the surrounding vision red.

Advanced magic [Hell Fire] It is magic with a relatively simple effect, but its firepower is one of the best among advanced magic.

“Whoa… … .”

The moment the [Space Barrier] collides with the Rich’s [Hell Fire], which turned the Death Knight into ashes, it shatters into pieces.

“It’s not basic. To think the wizard was embarrassed and made them close the distance. That’s why you died at that level.”

“what… … ?! Nonsense!”

The moment the [Space Barrier] disappears, it quickly rushes in and grabs the face of the lich and slashes it down.

As expected, the durability of the high-ranking undead was slightly higher, so the head was not broken like a skeleton.

But that’s it.

Wizards cannot deploy magic when the distance is close. If so, you will die too.

However, I am different.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2]

[2/100 until SSR grade magic confirmed]

“Hey, wait!”

[Gust Piercing]

The magic unfolded right in front of the lich’s eyes, piercing through his skull and turning the ground upside down.
