Episode 7

Episode 7. Entrance Exam (4)

Luna jumped back and retreated.

At the same time, he raised his sword and placed his hand on the handle.

Also called foot posture.

The Leicester family’s esoteric swordsmanship had the characteristic that it was all based on that posture.

the problem is… … I told the invisible slime to use the family’s sword technique, and he said he was going to use it on me?

“you… … “What are you doing?”

“Hehe, as you can see, I’m on your side.”

“Fuck you.”

don’t trust me No one believes it.

no.

No one can be trusted.

Friends, relatives, blood allies, investigators, and even street bums.

Because you didn’t listen to her.

“I am on your side. If it were an enemy, they would have already snitched on you and let you be captured. “Isn’t that right?”

“… … well. Aren’t you trying to get something else? “Do you mean to make me fight and strike from behind, or to let the instructor see your family’s swordsmanship so that you don’t get blood on your hands?”

At that level, he is paranoid.

Well, since I really suffer from that disease, there is nothing I can do about it.

“Hehe, trust me. “Because we are the only ones here.”

“Then you can fight, right?”

“My power is so flashy that it attracts attention. Everyone in the Academy will know of our existence… … “Is that okay?”

Luna gritted her teeth.

Because attracting attention is not good for Luna either.

but.

“go away.”

It was Luna-like.

A child who could not make any of the dead people his friends.

Was the plan to have such a child as a colleague too unreasonable?

I was deep in thought for a moment.

‘Is there a way to overcome this situation among the skills I have?’

“Academy Heroes” is a game with a high degree of freedom.

The more hidden pieces you have or the more skills you have, the wider your range of choices becomes.

What if this situation was played as a game?

In this case, what options are available to me?

Talk.

Attack with a sword.

Attack with a club.

Use the [Information Window].

Use [Open eyes].

run away

The goal is to persuade Luna.

So, among these, what action should I take now? … .

After much deliberation, I opened my mouth.

“… … okay. I never thought I would be this stupid. “The family deserves to be extinct.”

“what!?”

“Revenge is out of the question. You, with your empty head, are the only survivor. There is no hope. The Leicester family is finished.”

“This bastard… … !”

It’s a test and all, but it’s really going to kill me.

I was excited. Noticeably so.

Up to this point, everything goes according to plan. Since Luna was angry, he would have received a penalty of -20 Intelligence.

Now is the time to go on an adventure that you have never done before in a game.

‘It was strange from the beginning.’

It’s such a strange skill that even I, a person with limited experience, don’t know where to use it.

The appearance of people who were strangely hostile, people who brought terror to the continent.

And I look just like them.

It seems to me.

As a result, numerous new branches of hidden pieces sprouted.

Okay, let’s give it a try.

So, the skill I activated.

It was an F-level skill, [Open Eyes].

* * *

‘What, what!’

Luna couldn’t help but be embarrassed when the unidentified boy suddenly opened his eyes.

Red eyes that glow ominously.

Just seeing it gives me goosebumps all over my body.

‘The momentum has changed… … !’

I could feel it sensuously.

The person standing in front of you now is a completely different being from the person who was talking to you just a moment ago.

‘If I pull out the sword, I will die… … !’

My instinct was screaming that.

I thought he was a trash talker who opens his mouth about weak topics, but that wasn’t the case.

It was the opposite.

‘A tremendously strong man… … !’

I could tell just by looking at that ridiculous confidence and creepy eyes.

Yes, it was strange to know his identity in the first place.

He was hiding his power. To achieve a ‘purpose’ like yourself.

gulp-.

Luna swallowed without realizing it.

Just when he realized that the hand holding the sword hilt was damp with sweat, his mouth opened.

“Hehe, there’s no need to be so cautious. “As I said before, I’m on your side.”

can not believe it.

After his family was accused of treason, no one held his hand.

Let alone holding on to him, he didn’t even listen to me.

‘Identity laundering would have been perfect.’

After disguising himself as another corpse, he disappeared for five years.

And I began to secretly gain strength.

To one day clear the name that my family was framed for.

‘I’m just starting to understand my family’s swordsmanship… … .’

Why did you go out into the world again even though you were not prepared?

This is because someone was intentionally erasing traces of the Lester family.

We will not be able to prove that it was not we who planned the treason and that our family is not guilty.

So it came out. but.

‘There was someone who knew of my existence? Nonsense.’

Moreover, he even said that he should join hands because he believes in the innocence of the Lester family.

Everything is so confusing and I can’t turn my head.

‘What should I do?’

The only survivor of the Lester family.

The enormous weight of having to restore the family’s honor.

The pressure that comes from having to choose and decide everything yourself.

This current situation is an extremely difficult ordeal for Luna, who is only 15 years old.

It was a test.

“Whoa… … I’m sorry. You seem a little excited. I don’t have much time, so I’ll be direct. “Now is the time to join forces.”

“… … “What kind of bullshit is this again?”

“Hehe, you and me… … “Our goals are not that different.”

His goal is to restore his family’s honor and take revenge.

So, was that child also framed?

What if someone strong like that becomes his comrade?

‘Wouldn’t revenge become easier?’

Come on, grab that kid’s hand.

It’s as if the devil is whispering.

I always thought that people who fall for the devil’s temptations are really stupid.

When you find yourself in that situation, it’s strange that you don’t hold hands.

‘But why is someone with that level of skill…? … ?’

Are you urging yourself to fight the slime?

Suspicious. It’s so suspicious that I can’t believe what he says.

“Unlike Miss Luna, my powers leave traces. Your family is unique only when it uses skills. That’s why I’m asking you a favor.”

So, is that person’s power magic? Or is it the family’s special vision technology?

Which of those families was exterminated?

It was time for Luna to think for a long time.

-20 minutes before the end of the first test!

The instructor’s shout echoed through the forest.

In this situation, time is running out.

It was when sweat began to form on Luna’s forehead.

“If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Because it’s okay if I get out of it on my own. Well, you, the witness… … “I will die here.”

His eyes shone coldly.

I felt the sword sheath on my waist tremble.

Luna soon realized that it was because she was shaking, not because of the scabbard.

“Well, do you have the skills to do that?”

I tried to hide my trembling hands and voice.

But he just let out an unpleasant laugh.

“Hehe, do you know why there is no instructor here?”

“W-what is it?”

“Because someone took care of it. And that someone… … Who could it be? I’m not sure. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Crazy laughter.

Luna’s hair stood on end.

‘this guy… … ‘I killed the instructor!’

Killing an innocent person to hide a secret.

He’s a real bad guy.

‘The skills of Annwood Academy instructors are at least knight level.’

So how strong is that kid?

Knight level or higher.

Luna had all the blood draining from her body.

“Actually, keeping you alive is partly because we have the same purpose… … “It’s also to see your skills.”

“… … skill?”

“Whether it’s worth keeping alive for my own purposes or not… … Is it too cruel to say that? Ha ha ha ha ha!!”

When Luna heard that, she lowered her head.

Even if you give up your life, you will not beg for your life.

The proud Leicester family. The last survivor of that family.

It was impossible for Luna to beg for her life like that.

‘But I swore.’

After being executed, the bodies of my parents were not even allowed to be buried in the cemetery.

I swore in front of him, shedding tears.

Must live. Even if you have to crawl on the ground and roll in the mud, you must survive.

We must restore our family’s honor and seek bloody revenge on those who falsely accused us!

Even if that were the case.

‘Even if it means joining hands with the devil.’

I tightly gripped the handle of the sword.

Cold and hard. But it doesn’t hurt.

Luna has been training hard for the past five years.

The scars on his hands contrast with his youthful appearance.

The large and small scars and calluses on your hands prove your efforts.

You have to prove it. You have to show that you have value.

The family’s secret swordsmanship that he trained for five years on his own, without anyone teaching him.

Unfold it with all your might.

The first draw of the Leicester family.

One island.

* * *

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-!

The bushes and trees, even the dew that had formed there.

All of it was cut straight and floated in the air.

The same was true for the transparent slime’s body.

Although it was not visible to the naked eye, I could clearly see a large crack in the core of the transparent slime that was busy absorbing the core.

“shit! It’s shallow… … !”

Luna’s cry was heard as if she was sighing.

But that’s enough. Because we are prepared for situations like this.

He jumped off the rock and struck down the bat at the same time.

Kkwajijik!!

The transparent slime’s core and slime fell to the floor, unable to withstand my weight, gravity, and the force of the bat.

This is a very good situation.

Time to show the taste of a historically proven bat.

Sigh! Kwasik!

Bye!

After swinging it two or three more times, the core of the transparent slime shattered.

At the same time, the mucus stopped moving.

[Super Regeneration] skill does not activate. I won.

I.

‘Your level has risen by two.’

Achieved level 9. Now you can use the hidden pieces in the stat window by raising just 1 level.

The harvest wasn’t the only thing.

[You have acquired ‘transparent substance’.]

[You have met special conditions.]

[Acquire the ‘Predation’ skill.]

[Transparent material: S]

It is a transparent material. How to use it is unknown.

[Predation: S]

You can acquire one of the skills possessed by boss monsters and named monsters.

The grade of the acquired skill changes to F.

‘This is it.’

I put the transparent substance in a small bottle into my pocket.

It is only used when making items in the distant future, so it has no meaning right now.

The important thing is the skill [Predation] and the hidden piece.

‘It’s a magic skill that can absorb and grow the skills of bosses and named monsters.’

It’s an unsightly skill now, but it’s a skill that shines brighter as time goes by.

For reference, named monsters refer to monsters of S rank or higher.

One of the skills I have.

There is a lot of randomness, and it is a bit disappointing to give it an F grade.

‘There is a way to alleviate that regret a little.’

Transparent slimes are also S-class monsters.

Since it is classified as a named monster, it meets the conditions to use the [Predation] skill.

The skills that the transparent slime possessed were [Super Regeneration], [Predation], [Greek], and [Digestion].

[Predation] is excluded because it was obtained by meeting the conditions of the hidden piece.

The skill I can obtain is one of [Super Regeneration], [Appetite], and [Digestion].

Odds of 1/3. What kind of skills can you acquire?

‘It would be nice if I had an appetite. Because it can help with insufficient stats.’

The core of transparent slime lying broken down.

I raised my hand there and used the [Predation] skill.
