I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling - I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling chapter 102

102 – Shell Apple

Two people, senior Nut and I, started competitively harvesting plants in the .

A grape that explodes the moment it is touched incorrectly, sending hard pulp filled with magic flying in all directions. ‘Boom Grape’

A cabbage that emits poison if the dozens of leaves surrounding its body are not removed in the correct order. ‘Roulette Cabbage’

A mushroom that spreads flammable spores around and explodes when a person gets close. ‘Deidara Mushroom.’

A sunflower that ejects seeds like a machine gun. ‘Bullet Sun Flower’

.

.

.

More than a dozen plants were mercilessly dismantled by the two of us.

The result of that fierce battle……

“I won.”

“I lost…!”

It was my victory.

“Ugh….”

Nut was frustrated, kneeling on his knees and placing both hands on the ground in a defeated posture.

Looking at that man, I scratched my head, feeling uncomfortable even after winning.

‘It feels like I won by using some kind of foul, so it’s a bit like that.’

Nuts were collected quickly and skillfully, making full use of the physical abilities and skillful gathering skills of a superhuman, to the point where even professional farmers could overcome them….

Not only do I have the same physical ability as him, but with the help of , Which allows me to demonstrate abilities in almost all fields, I don’t know why, but the plants do not rebel against me and respond favorably to me. Added to this, I was able to collect several times more quickly than him.

If the plant hadn’t responded favorably, I probably would have had a good fight with him, which made me feel uncomfortable even after I won.

“Not yet…! Not yet…!!!”

Nut, who had been brooding in defeat with his hands on the ground, stood up with his eyes burning.

“There is still one thing left to harvest…! The game is not over yet!”

“Stop it, Nut. No matter who sees it, you’re a complete loser. Why are you attacking your junior so persistently?”

“Of course, by showing that guy’s ugly side to the princess, she will lose favor towards him and distance herself from him… Sigh!”

Nut hurriedly covered his mouth, but everyone here had already heard his true intentions.

“Hah? Why are you trying to separate your junior from the young lady?”

“…Of course it’s because he’s not suitable for a princess!”

“What…?”

“A princess must be with a great person worthy of her!”

“What are you doing now… No, no. So? What are the conditions for a person worthy of a young lady in your opinion? Tell me.”

Rizberen crossed his arms with a puzzled expression on his face and gestured at Nut as if to take a look.

“First of all, talent! You must have at least a talent comparable to that of the princess called Kirin of the elf world!”

“The junior over there is so talented that he became the leader of the golden generation, a group of geniuses who come out once every few decades, including that young lady.”

“…The second is character! Let’s be the princess’s partner! If you don’t have a kind and strong spirit, you can’t even talk!”

“Yes~ The first year’s senior is rumored to have a good personality, consideration, and guts even among the first year students who joined the club.”

“…The third is the external appearance! An appearance that is not inferior to the princess’s beautiful and noble dignity…”

“Is there a junior who looks more attractive than an elf?”

“Damn it, Rizberen! Whose side are you on…!!!”

“Of course I’m on your side, you crazy bastard.

“Ouch.”

Wow!

After being rebuffed one by one, Riz Beren punched Nut in the stomach, who was glaring at her with eyes full of betrayal.

“Ah, anyway, I can’t admit it…! Next, let’s have a final showdown! Follow me!”

“Anyway, that evil siscon guy…”

Watching Nut, who was shaking while holding her hit stomach and lowering her head, walking with unsteady steps to the next plant, Riz Beren sighed and said to me with an apologetic look on her face. .

“Sorry, junior. There’s no need to listen to that guy’s abuse…”

“No. I will continue this until the end. I had fun doing it too.”

Honestly, it was fun to see such foolish behavior typical of men for the first time in a long time.

When I came to this world, I only trained outside of class hours, cut down monsters in the dungeon, or butchered members of the Demon God Church.

Take a few minutes to follow the staggering nut.

The place where his steps stopped was a little away from a tree full of delicious apples.

Nut said, pointing to the apple tree.

“That’s the ‘cannonball apple tree’, the plant that will be the final decoration of the match between you and me!”

“Cannonball…?”

It was a bit of a harsh word to use for apples. If you think of the plants we’ve seen so far in the That attack and can put even a magically awakened person on the brink of death, it might be an appropriate word to convey the danger.

At that moment, Nut, who was standing some distance away from the tree as if to give a demonstration, took a step in front of him.

Tung-!

With a heavy sound, one of the apples on the tree was launched towards the nut.

The magic power contained in the apple is ejected to one side, accelerating the ejected apple.

The speed was well over 250 km per hour.

Sigh-!

The moment when an apple, containing enough physical force to shatter a slab of stone, is about to collide with Nut’s head.

“Huh!”

Nut quickly stretched out his hand towards the apple.

Sleep-

Nut’s hand, filled with Yu’s tricks, gently wrapped the apple like fluttering silk, dissolving the physical force contained therein.

Soon, a fruit was placed on top of Nut’s stretched out hand, in perfect condition, without even the slightest damage.

“Heh. This is how shell apples are harvested.”

“I saw a great waste of skill.”

To Nut, who spoke with a smug look on his face, I expressed my thoughts that came to my mind without me knowing.

Honestly, if Beomjae realized that he was only using the advanced art of

Jutsu, which can only be used after about 15 years of training, to harvest apples, wouldn’t anyone express the same sentiment as me?

“How rude! This jutsu is a secret technique, , That I only learned from a senior member of a family that has been cultivating shell apples for five generations!”

“Martial arts for apples?!”

What are you afraid of?

Furthermore, the fact that it is a high-level martial art that can be used against people also makes the madness of the martial art stand out even more.

“But wouldn’t it be okay to approach the apples in an instant and harvest them before they shoot out?”

The place where the nut stands is about 10 meters away from the tree. That means the tree’s response distance is a radius of 10 meters.

If the distance is that much, either I or he can close it in just one step.

“Hah? Don’t you know the common sense that a cannonball apple tree gets startled if you approach it faster than a person can walk, and causes it to self-destruct by investing too much magical power into the apples, do you?”

“In my common sense, apples neither shoot faster than an arrow nor explode themselves, sir.”

Even if you look at me with a pitiful look on my face as if I don’t know common sense, it’s difficult.

“Anyway, it’s my turn this time.”

I left behind the man who was talking about something and walked towards the apple tree with light steps.

Trug-

That didn’t change even when the 10 meter line, which is the tree’s interception range, came right in front of us.

Trug-

I crossed the line without the slightest hesitation.

And again, like other plants I’ve harvested so far, the shell apple tree didn’t attack me.

“…….”

I got so close to the tree that I could touch it if I stretched out my hand, so I held out my palm to the tree as if I was used to it.

Surrr-

The apple tree slowly tilted its branches towards me…

Tuk-

I dropped a delicious apple on my palm.

Unlike regular shell apples, which inevitably lose magic power as they are ejected and release their magic power, this is a top-quality shell apple that does not lose any magic power.

‘I don’t know much about apples in this world, but…. In the end, all you have to do is pick an apple in a more intact state.’

I declared, spinning the apple around with the tip of my index finger.

“This is my complete victory.”

And as if that declaration had ignited the fuse of dissatisfaction that had been building up until now, the elf whose expression had been crumpled ever since I walked to the apple tree finally exploded.

“What on earth happened earlier…!!! Why aren’t the plants even attacking…?! Are you using some kind of cowardly trick…!!!”

Nut, who had lost his cool, grabbed me by the collar and started walking towards me ‘quickly’ with an expression that meant he would firmly challenge me.

Finch-

It stimulated the cannonball tree’s defensive instinct.

If Nut’s steps had been a little slower, he would have fired the same cannonball apples as usual.

If Nut had walked a little faster, the apple tree would have poured more magic power into the apples and self-destructed.

But.

Coincidentally, the speed of the nut was just across the Maginot Line, where the apple did not self-destruct.

The cannonball apple tree once fired apples with ‘maximum force’.

Two woong──!!!

The apple was launched with a sound several times heavier than before. The flesh is full of magical power.

Quaaa—!!!

Using the magic power inside as fuel, the speed of the apple accelerating is approximately 500 km per hour.

The current cannonball apple, as its name suggests, was no different from a ‘cannonball cannonball’.

“Oh my…?!”

Nut came to his senses from the dangerous sensation throbbing throughout his body and instinctively used the .

The moment when the nut’s fingertips are about to touch the apple.

Whisper!

“──What…What!?”

The apple spun by the powerful eruption of magical energy fell rapidly, narrowly passing by Nut’s fingertips.

If there were a pitcher who could throw a magic ball like that, every club would pay hundreds of millions to recruit him. The apple that fell in a sharp trajectory soon──

─Quwadeuk!!!

“───Yep”

“””Ah”””

──It landed on Nut’s lower body, shattering Nut’s nut (meaning heart).

In silence, as if the world’s time had stopped for a moment.

Wow!

Nut’s dazed face suddenly distorted and turned red.

From red to blue.

It changed from blue to white in an instant.

Thump-

Soon the nut fell in front of her, holding on to his little nut (what was).

“Profit…Profit! …Iiiii!!!!!”

A nut who cannot even scream in extreme pain and only makes meaningless moans. White foam was bubbling around the corner of his mouth.

I hurriedly ran over and patted Nut on the back.

“Senior! Are you okay!?”

“Teek… Teeddeek… Teededdieeggghh…!!!”

“This is not possible.”

My senior broke down due to pain beyond imagination.

“…I can’t help it. I’ll anesthetize you, senior. …Inhale!”

Wood-

“Kkuek.”

With the affection of a man who knows the same pain.

I grabbed Nut’s head and chin with both hands and broke them in one go, knocking him out of consciousness.

‘This would be better than struggling in pain.’

As Nut was lying down after being anesthetized and his expression had improved, Senior Liz and Krishia came running.

“Junior. The nut is….”

“…The apple landed in a bad place, forcing him to faint.”

“…Well, there’s nothing we can do. If it’s seen by a higher-ranking priest, it can be fixed.”

Rizberen carried the lying nut on his back, saying he was taking him to the temple.

“Junior. Thank you for your hard work today. Thanks to you, the assignment was completed before lunch.”

“No. I had more fun than I expected.”

“Thank you for saying that. …Ah! If you have time, how about taking a look inside the botanical garden? There are some dangerous places, but there are also many good places to rest.”

“Hmm, that wouldn’t be a bad idea. Is there a place you can recommend?”

“Ah, that’s…”

Liz Beren’s eyes flickered to my side for a moment, then she returned again, and with a slightly sly smile she said:

“Hmm. Instead of just saying it out loud… How about going with the lady? You’ve been living in the botanical garden since you entered the school, so you’ll be familiar with places like this.”

“Chrissia and…?”

“Then let’s do that! I have to get this guy to the temple quickly, so that’s enough! (Cheer up, girl!)”

“(Thank you! Sister Liz!)”

Rizberen, who met Krysia’s eyes and winked at her, quickly ran away.

I watched the two figures until they disappeared through the grass, then turned my head and spoke to Chrysia, who was looking up with her somehow sparkling eyes.

“Chrissia, can I ask you a favor?”

“Yes~! Leave it to me! I’ll take you to my secret place!”

Krysia flapped her long ears and smiled brightly.
