A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 410



409 – Answer (3)

Do you know that feeling of being shocked by lightning? I’ve felt it often.

The world before my eyes became white, not black, and all I could hear was a ringing sound.

I’ve gotten used to the feeling of electricity running through my entire body, but it still hurts. It feels like my entire body is turning golden brown.

“Cough! Cough! Ouch.”

I coughed harshly. A huge pillar of lightning fell over my head and I seemed to lose consciousness for a moment.

It’s not easy to lose consciousness, but it seemed like a lightning bolt that was quite strong, like the thickness of a pillar.

It’s fortunate that it happened to me. If I were an ordinary person, my whole body would have been tanned. What I’m more worried about is the audience.

It was so big that it seemed like it would cover the entire training ground, so there must have been a lot of damage to the audience seats.

‘If the Gulag had a mind, it would have done this only to me.’

But apart from that, Hector is also frankly disappointing.

‘A real man, what is this?’

How could one ask the Gulag for divine punishment at that moment?

Even the justification was clear, so Gulag struck with a much stronger lightning bolt than usual.

If he had asked for strength instead, I wouldn’t know. But he begged me to directly harm him, like Hanamja.

“Phew.”

I shook my head. My ears were ringing because I had been hit by lightning so hard.

Although I recovered quickly with my regenerative powers, the dizziness didn’t go away easily.

After a while, I looked around, feeling slightly dizzy.

‘Fortunately, he looks okay.’

The sparring area is relatively unscathed, perhaps because the lightning pillar struck Hector.

Instead, everyone was covering their eyes and ears, perhaps because of the intense flashes of light and noise.

The most sane person was Kara. As he was favored by the Gulag, he was looking straight at me.

Even if it’s not Kara, the others will come to their senses soon. The most important one is Hector.

“Hmm. Very good.”

Hector was rubbing his shoulder with a satisfied expression. But there was something more noticeable.

There was not a single scratch on it. I had beaten it almost to death, but it was as good as when I first got it.

Some people get struck by lightning and lose consciousness for a while, while others recover completely. It’s so unfair.

‘Even if you lose like this, you should know that you’ve been sold.’

The evaluation of Gulag and Hector inside me was lowered in real time. But I’m not completely dissatisfied.

Seeing that, I felt like I had gotten some sort of answer. I walked with a slow gait.

In the direction you walked, there was Mjolnir lying there. It’s called Mjolnir in name only, it’s just a regular one-handed hammer.

“······Did you find the answer?”

Hector shrugged his shoulders and answered my question coolly.

“I realized that all these worries were pointless.”

“sure?”

“I’ll just work hard from now on. That’s all I’m thinking.”

“··· ···”

What kind of peaceful answer is that? Did you lose your mind after getting hit by me just now?

As I was making a face of bewilderment, Hector stretched his hand back and opened it.

Judging by the gesture, it looked like he was calling for Ragnarok. I waited quietly.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

“······Aren’t you coming?”

No. What if you say something like that? This guy is getting more and more shameful.

I looked at Hector with cold eyes. I couldn’t help but feel frivolous, having almost died.

-Whew! Bam!

Fortunately, nothing embarrassing happened. Ragnarok flew in from afar and was caught in Hector’s hand.

Hector smiled broadly as he held Ragnarok in his hands. It was a smile of true satisfaction.

The fact that Ragnarok responded to the call meant that Chaos also acknowledged Hector. I snickered.

‘There’s no way this will end in a bad ending.’

I don’t know what realization he’s had. I don’t know what Hector will do in the future.

But at least the possibility of worse or worse outcomes would have disappeared.

If we do this, Kara will not deviate from the story. They will be able to continue together in the future.

“Okay. I guess it’s time to start over.”

“The person who almost killed me.”

“I got an extra life.”

“··· ···”

This isn’t a game, it’s a one coin story. I couldn’t help but laugh.

But it’s likely that this was Hector’s original personality. He would have been joking around when he had free time.

Then he should do as he pleases. Now that Ragnarok is in his hands, there is no reason to do anything half-heartedly.

“I won’t let you see it.”

“Me too.”

Hector smiled, holding Ragnarok tightly in both hands. It was a smile full of triumph.

At the same time, Hector began to show a murderous aura. I flinched at that aura.

I know that I have become stronger than before by gaining enlightenment, not enlightenment. But I feel much stronger than I thought.

‘But it’s not blue.’

I have only realized my identity as a human being, but I have not reached a higher level.

If it had reached the level of blue, I would have thrown it out long ago. I thought it was too favoritism.

-Phajijik!

Lightning began to gather around Hector’s Ragnarok. At first, the lightning was blue in color.

Soon, the lightning gathered and gathered again, and before I knew it, it had turned blue-white.

Just looking at it, I could feel a strong energy. I think I should be nervous.

-Chijijik!

Red lightning gradually gathered on my hammer as well. Unfortunately, my lightning handling skills are inferior to Hector’s.

Instead, it can be replaced with an overwhelming amount of magical power and the powerful output unique to red magical power.

It’s a case of quantity over quality. Hector must have noticed that too and was impressed.

“Every time I see it, it’s amazing. Your red magic. I’m becoming more and more curious about its identity.”

“I don’t know either.”

“Yeah. That’s why Chaos likes it.”

-Wooow!

The lightning, which had turned blue-white, shook as if it was going to explode. At the same time, the surrounding area shook.

The ground shook simply from the lightning. The fragments of the earth torn off by our fight shot upward.

This isn’t going to be a full-on showdown. It’s going to be more like a fist bump.

-Tadat!

Soon, Hector ran towards me, holding Ragnarok in both hands.

I also rushed at him, holding the hammer in both hands tightly. With this one blow, we could gauge each other’s strength.

When we finally got close enough to each other, we each swung our weapons without saying who would go first.

-Kyaaang!

Pure, pure blue-white lightning and fierce red lightning. Contrasting qualities clash with each other.

A clash of conflicting qualities and powerful forces. The result of that clash is one.

-Flash!

For a moment, a strong red and blue light flashed.

-Kwaaang!!

A huge explosion, blinding and deafening, erupted from the center.

“Ugh······!”

I was sent flying backwards by the recoil. It was quite a powerful force that made my whole body tingle.

I wanted to keep my balance while flying, but the shock wouldn’t let me.

Even though I am a man, I am not completely immune to lightning. Only Hector is a threat.

-Pfft!

It wasn’t until I hit the wall that I stopped flying. I immediately looked up.

As soon as I raise my head, one thing catches my eye.

-Whew! Whoosh! Whoosh!

It was Ragnarok, spinning rapidly and flying towards my head.

It looks like he threw it with proper determination, as it even has blue lightning.

-Bam!

I lightly turned my head and dodged the attack. The axe is inherently slow to throw.

Then all that’s left is to use this. Hector knows it, but I also have a body that can hold Ragnarok.

-chuck!

Now I held Ragnarok and Mjolnir in my two hands. I smiled to myself and looked at Hector.

Hector froze in place with his hand outstretched. He had a look on his face like he was saying, “Huh?”

“Ah. Right.”

The fact that I realized it too late is a bonus. Did my head become weird after being struck by lightning?

But that wasn’t the case, rather, it charged fiercely towards me as if it didn’t matter.

Because of its large size, it looks like an elephant running at full speed. And it’s an elephant with lightning bolts all over its body.

The moment you hit that thing, several places will break. But if you try to stop it, you’ll have a weapon in both hands.

-Phew!

He threw Mjolnir instead of Ragnarok to free one hand.

I’m confident in throwing it, and unlike an axe, a hammer will fly much faster.

-Turn up!

But was I underestimating him too much? Or is Hector just strong?

Hector grabbed the flying Mjolnir by the handle and spun around.

After turning once, he lifted it up naturally. It was a clean movement like flowing water.

-Crackle!

A huge wave of lightning was generated by that one movement. The wave crashed down on me as if it was going to swallow me up.

I barely managed to kick the wall and fly over it. A wave of lightning crashed down the wall, sending electricity flying everywhere.

It was fortunate that Hector moved both his legs as soon as he grabbed Mjolnir, otherwise he would have been hit as expected.

‘If you do as Grandpa says, you won’t get hurt.’

Lord strongly advised him not to forget to move both legs, whether attacking or defending.

He taught me to move my legs no matter what I do, because people tend to forget about one thing when they focus on it.

The effect of that teaching has just been revealed. In the past, it would have been the same.

I was floating in the sky and looked down. At that moment, my eyes met Hector’s.

Hector, who is now covered in blue-white lightning bolts all over his body. He certainly seems to have gotten stronger.

-Kwaang!

He fell down and struck Ragnarok hard. Hector also easily blocked it with Mjolnir.

As the weapons clashed, faint bolts of blue and red lightning shot out.

-Bam! Bang!

The ensuing battle, no, dogfight, was a fight in which neither side spoke a word, but instead exchanged fists and weapons.

Even though their weapons would occasionally be switched, they didn’t care. They were just focused on killing each other.

But perhaps because the difference in skills and experience was so stark, more and more wounds appeared on my body.

Although it was covered with regenerative power, regeneration consumes a lot of magic power.

-Crunch!

“Ah, shit.”

Even the fact that hands were cut off was secretly frequent. This happened every time Hector grabbed Ragnarok.

It’s a good thing I hurried to recover, otherwise it would have been quite dangerous.

“Every time I see it… it’s strange. Is this really a person?”

“··· ···”

From noble mtl dot com

I didn’t answer and swung Mjolnir. I struck a well-aimed blow as soon as my hand recovered.

-Phew!

Unfortunately, my blow missed. Still, there was one thing that stood out.

Hector’s movements have become slightly slower, perhaps because his stamina is slowly declining.

It might be natural, since he was surrounded by lightning all over his body. That was originally a last resort.

In the long run, it’s better for me. But I can’t let my guard down.

As each wound was carved into my body, my magical power was sapped away.

He couldn’t help but flinch because of the lightning. That flinching turned out to be a great opportunity for Hector.

‘then······’

I guess I just need to get rid of the flinching. I took a step back.

Hector assumed that I was doing maintenance when I stepped back, so he left me alone. It seemed that he also felt the need to do some maintenance.

“Hooo······”

I slowed down my breathing in the meantime. Usually, when you slow down your breathing, your heart rate slows down.

-Thump! Thump! Thump!

But not now. The sound of my heartbeat became clearer and my body grew hotter.

I could feel the blood flowing through every part of my body vividly. It felt like my whole body was on fire.

The burning sensation seemed to cover up even the pain. My head also began to gradually heat up.

“The eyes······?”

Hector muttered softly, noticing my change. At the same time, he took up a guard posture.

Originally, when my life was in danger, ‘Frenzy’ would activate on its own and scorch the surroundings.

Hector, far from being able to subdue me in my frenzy, almost died himself. He barely managed to survive with Porori’s help.

Afterwards, through repeated training with Lize, he was able to control his berserk skills. Instead of berserk skills, he named his skills ‘rampage’.

-Whoaaa …

I screamed and rushed at Hector. My whole body felt hot like fire, but I didn’t care.

Hector also felt that my condition was not good, so he held Ragnarok tightly with both hands. Blue-white lightning struck.

Then he fired the energy that had gathered at me. A sharp lightning spear shot out from the axe towards me.

-Crackle!

The lightning spear went straight through my abdomen. It didn’t physically pierce me, it was just a lightning strike.

If it were me, I would have hesitated a little because of the lightning. But now, I didn’t feel any pain at all.

I was just rushing towards Hector. Pain no longer mattered to me.

“What?!”

Hector also seemed quite flustered. He hurriedly retrieved Ragnarok.

He then cut diagonally at my shoulder, which was right in front of my nose.

-Woojijik!

The axe’s blade dug past my shoulder and into my chest. My shoulder shook, revealing a hideous appearance.

If I had dug a little deeper, it would have reached the heart. That’s okay.

-Swish!

“Ugh?!”

Because I was able to grab Hector’s neck with my good arm. I could reattach my half-severed shoulder.

-Kwaang!

I just pinned Hector to the ground. Even Hector was bound to miss Ragnarok.

Ragnarok is still digging past my shoulder and into my chest, the other hand holding Hector’s neck.

An ordinary person would not have a proper means of attack. But I still have a place left.

Right, the head. The body is harder than average steel, so the head is also quite hard.

The moment he raised his head and was about to strike down the enemy.

“surrender!”

“······?”

“I surrender! I surrender! Can you hear me?!”

Hector urgently declared his surrender.

‘······What is this kid?’

Suddenly, the steam escaped. As soon as I heard the word surrender, I released Hector.

Hector got up from his seat, rubbing his neck. He glanced at me as he did so.

“I guess it won’t work. Now you’re even controlling the width? Huh, really?”

“······It’s ugly.”

“You say it’s ugly? I won’t deny it.”

Hector didn’t really deny it. Rather, he admitted it readily.

Then he chuckled and said confidently.

“But still, you can eat well and live well, right?”

It was sophistry.

[Faith rises!]

Chaos seemed to like it though. I shook my head.

Either way, Hector smiled happily.

“Then even the heads of households won’t be able to object.”

“What is it?”

“There is something like that. It’s a system I’m studying too.”

“?”
