Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest - Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest chapter 44

44 – A man from a different dimension

“Kuhhhhh….”

“Sir Kromer. You have to breathe straight.”

Dian learned sports from Gran under the name Kromer. He frowned and lifted the barbell.

Dian’s legs trembled. His muscles hurt like they would tear, and it was difficult to even breathe.

Before he became a warlock, his occupation was an assassin. His body was lithe, and his well-grown muscles gave him an agile physique.

Deian was proud of his body in his own way. He also excelled in athletic performance.

I’ve heard that Gran has excellent physical abilities like a monster, but I didn’t expect him to be this great. Deian was full of confidence because the people around him were warlocks who were far from athletics.

‘f*ck…. Why should I listen to this?’

He didn’t understand why he had to lift such a heavy weight. But whenever he saw other people exercising here, he couldn’t stop exercising.

“How many kilos did you say this is now?”

“A total of 60 kilos.”

“Then he….”

Dian’s gaze turned to Li-ae, who was doing the same exercise.

He had a small height that seemed less than 160 degrees, and his limbs were thinner than himself. Even 60 kilos is heavy, but she was working out with a weight that was at least twice as heavy as her own.

“It is 160 kilos.”

Her face was flushed, and she sat up and puffed out her cheeks.

Deian’s pride was hurt. He was one of the most promising among the black magicians. He has lived with the attention and treatment of heretics.

“Hmm…. You are learning more slowly than you think. It’s okay. It is more effective to exercise slowly and consistently.”

In Hana Grand Gym, it was Dunjae itself. Deian wasn’t interested in strength training to the point that he couldn’t understand why he had to do the exercises Gran told him to do, but he wasn’t unmotivated.

It’s because the people exercising loudly next to him stimulated his fighting spirit.

Even the men exercising at the Grand Gym were beyond imagination. They occasionally gave a puzzled look as they lifted more than three times the weight Deian was holding.

There was a hint of contempt in his worried eyes. Those eyes stimulated Day Ahn’s fighting spirit and made him tremble.

‘Can’t I just kill them all?’

“Heh heh, what are you thinking? You have to focus on your workout.”

Dian remembered the past. A harsh and terrible life. When he thought of the weight of life he had been through, his anger soared.

‘The weight of my life is nothing compared to this weight.’

“Keuheugh!”

Deian held on to his dazed spirit and lifted it vigorously. He lifted his hips and lower back as if he were moving forward for life.

Thick drops of sweat dripped from his hair. His face was red as if it were going to explode, and his veins were bulging out as well.

“Ugh!”

However, the abdominal pressure was released and ultimately failed. Even keeping his mouth shut was hard because of how hard he bit his teeth.

The results weren’t satisfactory, but it’s too early to blame yourself.

‘I’ll catch up with you soon.’

Dian looked around at the members of the Grand Gym with ferocious eyes.

“Hmm, failing to warm up…. I guess I’ll have to lower the weight more than I thought.”

Deian had a natural talent for black magic, but he had no talent for strength training.

***

Summer vacation passed quickly as daily life was repeated through exercise and prayer.

For some reason, the hero was sitting next to me, and Kromer, who had no talent for athletics, was in my class as a late-entrant student.

Iarez was sitting wearing a mask. Although he caught the attention of his classmates, they seemed unaware that he was a warrior. Grandim friends pretended not to know. Of course, hiding his identity did not seem to last very long.

Looking at Florina’s expression, she seemed to know that Iares, who was sitting wearing a mask, was a warrior.

On the first day, the curriculum was introduced and the performance report was presented.

A student raised her hand confidently.

He said that he went hunting for a wild boar monster, Leisure Bag, with the Adventure Department. The classmates who were listening to the presentation exclaimed in admiration.

The contents that followed consisted of participation in occupational training and subjugation of monsters.

“Gran, gran, gran!”

Where did you get it from? When the masked hero said my name, the attention of my classmates was drawn.

“But who is he really?”

“I don’t know, he must be a late-admission student like him.”

“But…. I wonder what Gran would have done.”

I had no intention of presenting, but in the end I was pushed back.

Florina laughed awkwardly after reading my performance report first.

“hahahaha…. It is also Gran.”

I read the performance report that Thesia carefully wrote. In the report, what happened on the front was recorded in detail.

My classmates held their breath and listened to my presentation. Tessia wrote so meticulously that the presentation became long.

“Really, Gran? Fighting demons on the frontlines during vacation, exorcising demons, being captured by enemies, and escaping by mistake? What is that….”

“Looking at it now. Can I write a book like that? I’ll stick to a play.”

“But it’s Gran….”

“No matter what, it is. It’s a very different world, isn’t it?”

My classmates didn’t believe my report.

Likewise, I didn’t expect to write such a grandiose performance report. He planned to go to the front, help the soldiers, and get Chloe to gain experience in defeating demons before returning.

“The content written here was not written by Gran himself. The saintess you know wrote it for you….”

Florina, who was smiling awkwardly, said.

“Yes? Then…. Did Gran and Echina really go through something like that?”

“Well, something is futile….”

“I think Gran can graduate today….”

“It’s just on a different level.”

“Oh, of course Gran!”

The warrior clapped his hands and said.

The children, who were making disapproving faces, clapped along with the hero.

There were many friends who were uncomfortable with me, but they glanced at me with even more uncomfortable faces.

The presentation of the performance report was completed. Florina explained her one-semester curriculum and her tryouts starting the very next day.

Unlike the first semester, the second semester focused on practice rather than theory. Not only in the first year, but also in the second, third, and fourth year, the first semester is a theory-oriented class, and the second semester is a practice-oriented class.

The qualifying round is an evaluation, and at the same time, you get the qualification to participate in the competition. Only one person per class was allowed to participate in the competition.

“What…. Then our class has already been decided.”

All the kids in the class looked at me.

“Sure. It seems that the winner has already been decided?”

The classmates looked at me once again.

“Heh heh, you won’t know until you try.”

“Yeah, you never know until you try.”

Kromer, who was sitting in the back, said. He smiled mischievously and looked at me.

“I want to fight you.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Ah…. You can do it today if you want.”

The warrior sitting next to me giggled.

Everyone in the class was looking at Kromer.

“He, why is it me?”

“What? He’s the kid who just entered the school this time. So it is. Leave it alone Even at the beginning of the semester, there were a lot of kids who ignored him.”

The eyes of the children turned to Arnes for no reason.

Arnes, who was staring at Echina with his chin resting on his chin, frowned when he looked at him.

“What are you looking at? I can’t win.”

Arnes, who had a strong desire to compete, somehow admitted it.

“Gran didn’t say anything because we wanted to fight?”

“Kids, be quiet. If your new friend doesn’t know something, you should let him know. What can I say? So, does anyone have any questions?”

“What about weapons?”

“I will use practice weapons for the selection. I will use my own weapon in the competition. Someone else?”

No one raised a hand this time.

“Then, today ends here.”

As Florina said, the children quickly rose from their seats. The first day ended before lunchtime.

I headed straight for the Grand Jim. Coincidentally, Kromer also came out with a Grandim.

“Would you like to warm up with me today?”

“All right. I want to stick together properly. Someday we’ll fight Just give me a workout.”

hahahahaha, Kromer wasn’t a physicalist. I don’t know what his job was, but he looked like a wizard.

“Hmm, I understand. Deadlift today.”

***

“Woo-wook….”

I felt sick to my stomach.

Strangely, whenever I did the exercise the demon hunter taught me, I felt sick to my stomach.

I’m fed up with hanging out with the disgusting bastards in the Grand Gym.

‘Why do I need to listen to this?’

What made me feel worse was that this unknown action stimulated my fighting spirit.

Because I was only cruel to him.

“Your posture is sloppy. Didn’t I tell you to breathe right? hehehe, he looks like he suffocated while exercising. At this point, you should be able to learn your posture, but Kromer-sama can’t concentrate at all.”

‘No way, this bastard doesn’t know my identity, right?’

Gran sold Deian today as well.

‘f*ck…. If you do it sincerely, this is nothing.’

Dian thought as he watched Gran exercise.

Dawn when everyone was asleep, Deian headed for the Grand Jim. He couldn’t stand the fact that he was inferior to others.

“How many kilos did that bastard do?”

Dian put the disc on the barbell exactly as Gran did.

He strained his body and lifted the barbell. But he didn’t budge.

“What? Did you put it on?”

He tried several times, but the barbell wouldn’t budge.

“Isn’t this weight?”

He counted the discs. The number was not wrong.

‘f*ck…. Yeah, I’m a warlock, right?’

He unleashed his demonic powers unnoticed by others.

“Huh!”

He managed to lift the barbell, but his body couldn’t support his weight.

The balance was shaken and he stumbled. When one disk fell, the balance was completely upset.

Kaaang!

“Kwaeah!”

Unable to overcome his weight, he was crushed by the barbell.

Yes. He was a man on a different level.

“Do, help me….”

Deian cried out with difficulty, but there was no one to help.

It wasn’t until morning that he was found by Gran who was out exercising in the morning.

“What are you doing here?”
