326. Catching Badgers: Tutorial

Runaway?

no way….

No, this was definitely the early stages of a runaway.

One eye is burning black and black particles are floating around the body.

The ground beneath my feet was dried up and twisted black.

There was no denying it.

Hildebert Taleb was now starting to run wild.

“Captain! Don’t absorb me!”

Igor shouted without even realizing it.

“Stop!”

Reckless driving leads directly to death.

It was a well-known fact.

The rampage was finally stopped by burning the children of the World Tree. He saw them turn to ashes a couple of times. Once in the Empire. Once on Earth.

Even Ray Reneur, who was called an inspector of the same level as the captain, eventually turned into black ash.

Although he held on for a surprisingly long time, the Sword Master, who had been holding on to his sanity for so long, eventually crumbled and disappeared in both mind and body.

And it became a common fear of humanity.

He couldn’t stand to see Hildebert become like that….

Boohoo!

The impact of the fall ripped off the balaclava, which had been half-peeled off.

Someone just grabbed it and pulled it out.

Igor tense his neck at the feeling of his head being pulled, then suddenly turned his head away.

“what?!”

“He’ll come to his senses if he sees your table.”

“I guess you were hiding your sixth sense with magic.”

While Igor frowned and argued with Yun, Hildebert muttered to himself.

He turned around and looked at the new arrivals.

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the one whose eyes were beginning to burn.

“Are they guards?”

“… What are you talking about… .”

“The rampage can be stopped.”

Yun spoke next to Igor, who did not understand Hildebert’s muttering.

“That’s what Hilde said. So we have to bring him back to his senses quickly while his neck is still attached.”

“What is this?”

“Well, any position is fine.”

“Come.”

Karl spoke in a muffled voice next to the confused Igor.

“Sword attack.”

Kwaaaaang!

Hildebert swung his scalpel.

The man didn’t even take a stance or narrow his eyes. He just drew a line with his scalpel-holding hand as if chasing a bug in the air.

A sword strike in the shape of that line flew in.

Kwakwakwak! The badgers quickly pulled back to avoid the sword strike. The blow that struck where they were caused a fountain of dirt to form.

A blow that would have severed the body if not avoided.

Those who jumped back crumpled their faces.

Ricardo muttered nervously.

“Oh, this is… This is giving me a headache~… .”

“What is that? Why is he doing that over there? What was that just now?”

“Wouldn’t you stop running wild if we were out of sight?”

Asil, who had no idea what was happening, looked at Hildebert, holding his head.

Carl spoke with his back against the sinkhole wall.

“Last time, I said that the rampage stopped because I thought, ‘Let’s just absorb people.’”

Kwakwakwakwaang!

Another wave.

The sword strike was much longer than last time. A white line flew out, dividing the field of vision into two.

If they hadn’t bent over so suddenly, their bodies would have been split in two.

Ruta Ayer, who was just getting up, was saved because Sophia pressed down on her back.

Kwakwaang!

thud

Kuuung… .

Rolling sand and gravel.

The rescue team’s hair fluttered and sank in the wind created by the sword strike.

A mark like a sedimentary layer was left on the wall. Even while striking with the sword like that, Hildebert did not move from the center.

A face so cold and calm that it gives you chills.

Of course, unlike Hildebert, those who avoided the sword strike were put in a state of emergency.

Igor’s expression changed quickly.

“I don’t know what it was, but you said that the captain stopped his rampage once?”

“okay.”

“Let’s run away.”

Now the entire rescue team had emerged from the mud and were looking only at Hildebert.

To be exact, I was waiting for the Sword Master’s sword attack that could strike at any time.

“If you hide your power, you might not run wild.”

“Fly.”

Yoon gave immediate instructions.

“consolation.”

I didn’t hesitate.

No one vomited. Even Ruta Ayer, who had not been able to grasp the situation, turned around and started climbing up the slope of the sinkhole.

Those who jump up and down.

Sword strikes rained down upon them.

BAM! KRAW! KRAW!

“Trying to run away?”

Hildebert laughed.

“Okay. I’ll let you off a little.”

The sword strike struck the wall, causing an avalanche of mud.

A mound of dirt flowing down the slope swept away those trying to get out of the sinkhole. Even Sophia, who had reached the very edge of the slope, was swept away helplessly.

The rescue team returned to the beginning of the slope.

“Oh please Hildebert!”

“Just like you did.”

You’s cries were ignored. Everyone failed to escape. Asil, who was within striking distance of the sword, was completely buried in the dirt, and had to pull his head out of the ground as if he was popping out of a grave.

“What the heck is this situation….”

“I’ll give you 5 minutes.”

While Ruta Ayer was muttering absentmindedly, Hildebert muttered calmly.

The golden eye, which showed no sign of its usual gentleness, chased after them.

“But the stage is here.”

“Captain! Hold on tight!”

Igor raised himself up and shouted.

“Stop talking nonsense that I don’t understand!”

“Could it be that you’re out of your mind due to PTSD…”

“He said he’d play with me for 5 minutes.”

Yun spoke next to Igor and You, who had lost their minds.

“Keep your distance. Stick to the slope so that the swords don’t get swept to one side. I’m not letting anyone out of here anyway.”

The badgers moved right away.

Even Ruta Ayer and Asil Fisker, who did not understand the situation, silently distanced themselves from their seniors. Since they ran at full speed, they were able to surround Hildebert with a fairly wide gap between them.

Yun, Ricardo, Karl, Sophia, Ruta Ayer and Arshile Fisker drawing a circle.

Igor and You stand between Yun and Fisker.

Ricardo, sitting next to Yoon on his right, muttered.

“When did you learn that language…?”

“Isn’t it time you could organize what you understand?”

Yoon answered without taking his eyes off Hildebert.

“He can’t speak. Well, it doesn’t seem to be of any use even if he shouts in his native language.”

The rescue team braced themselves for the coming attack, their muscles tensed.

Then, the one who had been observing the situation with his white hair hanging down raised his arm again. The black particles floating around his body dispersed.

Hildebert said.

“Shall we begin?”

“Coming.”

“Five minutes from now.”

The ground he stood on was covered in black particles and trembled.

“Try running away.”

A sword strike came flying.

They poured down one after another. Boom! Kwaang! Kwaaang! Those gathered on the slope quickly moved their bodies out of the way to avoid the flying sword strikes. Sand and gravel shot up. An attack that sharply cut off the spot where their feet had just been.

As if the words of being considerate were true, Hildebert didn’t move an inch from his seat.

The man sitting at his feet, lost in thought, seemed to have forgotten how to move.

Of course, the Badgers had no time to worry about the lost soul.

“Let’s shoot a gun!”

A flood of swordsmanship from which no one dares to escape.

In it, Ruta Air shouted as he dodged the sixth sword strike flying at me.

“You can’t just keep avoiding it like this!”

“Doesn’t it work if you call my name in your language?”

“at all.”

When Karl asked while dodging the seventh attack, Igor frowned and replied.

“You don’t even pretend to hear.”

Kwaaang!

The slope was cut with a deafening sound.

Ruta Ayer raises her gun, cursing.

No one stopped him. Bang! A bullet fired by Black Badger pierced Hildebert’s side.

Phew!

As soon as the skin was pierced, Hildebert’s body regenerated.

Even Hildebert didn’t even glance at Ayer. He didn’t even seem to realize that a bullet had pierced his body.

Ricardo dodged the eighth attack and landed with a huge sigh.

“There’s no way a normal attack would work….”

“But compared to the rampage we saw in the video, it’s very calm.”

“We are controlling the outburst.”

You, who had been lying on the ground, got up and answered Karl’s question.

“It’s a realm that only a Sword Master can reach. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a rampage. Your eyes are already burning from absorbing too much. And look at your feet. The circuits inside are spinning taut, sucking up nutrients from the ground. In fact, I can’t believe I can stop the rampage… .”

“Aha… It looks like he has no intention of stopping his rampage when there’s someone right in front of him… ”

“First of all, what should I do with the situation where my eyes have turned to PTSD?”

As soon as Igor heard Yoon’s response, the blood in his neck rose.

“Hildebert Taleb!”

“In the comics, when the female protagonist cries and shouts, she comes to her senses.”

Sophia rolled over and muttered as she dodged the sword strike.

“Run over and hug her?”

Kwakwaaang!

The rescue team’s conversation suddenly stopped.

Hildebert unleashed a circular sword strike that he had never seen before. The attack, which was almost spherical, flew through the air and crashed into the slope.

The stench of sand stings the nose.

A smoky cloud of sand obscured the view of those playing at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Yoon answered.

“There’s no harm in trying.”

“I’ll try!”

Someone who had not been seen before suddenly jumped out from the dirt.

“Captain!”

She had already taken off her balaclava.

Rose ran across the parched floor toward Hildebert.

“Captain! Captain! If you wish, absorb me… .”

Kwakwaang!

A heterogeneous sword strike pushed the running woman back in place.

Igor put his sword back in its scabbard.

“Stay in the corner, kid. I hope you haven’t forgotten the rules the captain made.”

“Ah… the 1 meter rule… .”

Rose, who was hit by Igor’s sword and fell into the dirt, had an expression on her face as if she had remembered something she had forgotten.

She became sullen.

“Yes. I remember.”

Rose retreated obediently down the slope.

The Badgers who saw the series of events were astonished. Even while being terrified, they had to diligently dodge the sword strikes that Hildebert played around with.

Ruta Aire jumped up and down and shouted.

“What is that?!”

“Don’t be curious.”

The sword jumped up and gave advice to his junior.

Asil, who was rolling on the dirt with a frightened face, muttered while wiping away the blood flowing from his wound.

“Stalker…?”

“I told you not to be curious.”

“… Yes. I understand. By the way, since it has come to this, what would Senior Kalak like to say to Hilde…?”

“You sound insensitive.”

“Isn’t that what you said first, senior?”

As Sophia responded without even turning her head, Asil protested as if he was being wronged.

Ruta Ayer fired several shots. Of course, this time he didn’t get a single glance from Hildebert. Igor, who was trying to attack with his sword when he had the chance, was also not getting any results.

Hildebert slashes with his sword as if slicing toast with a faint smile on his face.

He said calmly.

“Three minutes have passed.”

“Ah, damn it, Commander! You didn’t have to cause me so much trouble!”

“Let’s try before it gets any worse.”

Ignoring You, who was struggling and pulling out her hair, Yoon suggested.

“Saying I love you to Hildebert Taleb.”

Silence fell among the badgers.

They avoided Yoon’s sword strikes as if they hadn’t heard him. Even as Hildebert, whose white eye had changed color, smiled faintly and said, “It’s fun to dodge like a loach,” no one opened their mouths.

The successors who diligently avoid eye contact.

Yoon broke the silence.

“Oh.”

Ruta Ayer flinched.

“You shout.”

“yes?!”

The brown-haired badger almost got his throat cut by a sword strike.

“Is that you?!”

Kwakwaang!

Ayer’s body rolled to the left due to the wave created by the sword strike.

But Ruta Ayer didn’t take her eyes off Yoon even as she rolled around on the dirt floor.

“Am I shouting?!”

“okay.”

“What the?!”

Kwaang! Another sword strike. This time, Ayer was injured in his right ankle, but he paid no attention and shot a look of resentment.

He protested vehemently.

“I’ve never even had a proper conversation with him!”

“so?”

“What good would it do if I shouted like that? It would be more logical if the people who were in the same squad shouted!”

“Then should I shout?”

When Yoon asked again, everyone flinched.

Only Hildebert, who has not heard any of this conversation, watches their desperate dance, saying, “It’s quite impressive.”

The sinkhole becomes quiet again.

Ricardo muttered as he dodged the sword strikes for the umpteenth time.

“Please bear with me… .”

“Yes. Shout quickly, Ai. The youngest’s mercy to us will soon end.”

“No, senior…!”

Ruta Ayer raised both hands in protest.

“So why me…!”

“Is this insubordination?”

Yoon answered while absentmindedly avoiding the sword strike.

“On the battlefield?”

Ruta Ayer gritted her teeth.

Badger kept his mouth shut and avoided the sword strikes for a while, his expression arrogant.

Igor muttered quietly.

“Workplace bullying.”

“You should shout out loud in your native language.”

“Bossy~… .”

Ricardo chimed in as if talking to himself.

Yoon didn’t even glance at Nok-an’s successor.

“I didn’t ask you to do anything, so respect your position and stay quiet, Sordi.”

“Of course… .”

“Hey, aren’t you going to do it?”

Ruta Ayer mouthed the word ‘Fuck!’

But he didn’t rebel for long. No, he couldn’t rebel. He was always a fairly orthodox soldier.

The man who had been avoiding the sword strike with his face erected in pride closes his eyes tightly the moment Hildebert mutters ‘one minute’ in the Imperial language.

Then he opened his eyes with an expression of determination.

“Hildebert!”

Black Badger, who quickly surpassed his seniors with his skills, but was born after borders disappeared, stopped in his tracks and raised his voice.

A good soldier.

He is the 35th generation, but he is always promoted to squad leader whenever he goes out of the core.

“sorry!”

A loud noise, like someone had boiled a train carton, echoed through the sinkhole.

“I love you!!”

Kukuaguaguaaaaaang!

A sword as big as a house flew towards Ruta Ayer.
