The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 181
The Table of Destruction (7)
The atmosphere at the academy, which had been in turmoil for a week, was quite chaotic.
“Rerick! Are you preparing well for your final exams?”
“What the hell is going on! This damn academy! How much do we have to prepare!”
Some students are busy preparing for final exams.
“Hey, is the final exam the problem right now?”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“What? You really haven’t heard the rumors?”
There were also students who tried to avoid the test itself by finding excuses.
“I heard that the Crusader leader came to you a few days ago with a blood clot.”
“Huh? Why is he here alone?”
“I don’t know the details. But I heard that some terrible force was targeting the Academy and wiped out all the Crusaders!”
The problem is that the excuse was pretty valid.
Actually, one of the reasons I came down in a hurry was because of what those friends were saying.
‘The Crusaders were annihilated…’
I know from experience that annihilating all the Crusaders is not impossible, but it’s not easy either.
Of course I can do it too. But it’s hard for me to wipe them all out with just one blow.
‘···What on earth are they doing?’
The Table of Destruction, a single blow from the strange flying machine they were riding, is said to have taken the lives of all the crusaders except for Michelan.
Among them, there may be crusaders who have spoken directly with me or aimed for alliance.
Their faces suddenly come to mind, and my teeth chatter without me realizing it.
“Who wiped out the Crusaders… Wait, by the way, I heard a rumor that the Sword Master is here too.”
I don’t know the source, but most of the rumors floating around were true.
“That’s true. Michael heard it!”
“Oh my god… If this continues, something really serious will happen. This doesn’t seem like the time to be studying for an exam.”
I think so too. Wouldn’t it be better to prepare for evacuation rather than preparing for the exam right now?
Yeah, maybe you guys are a lot smarter than the principal who’s trying to force a schedule.
“Really? So, do you want to go for a drink?”
“okay!”
Oh my, you little punks with a big head!
“What’s wrong with him? Why are you yelling all of a sudden?”
“Oh, oh… That guy, that guy. That crazy first-year kid who even beats up professors.”
“Oh, that’s right. Let’s go.”
The two friends who had summarized the situation at the academy during the week I was away disappeared from their seats with their eyes closed.
It was a pity. In some places, something really serious is happening, but somewhere, someone is drinking or doing something under the pretext of being young.
“Ah, yeah. What would you guys know?”
You’re not a nerd like me, you know.
While muttering like that, I was heading to the principal’s office.
“Camel?!”
“Camel!!”
“Honey… no, Mr. Camel!”
Three familiar and nostalgic voices suddenly start to ring in my ears.
The head naturally turns towards its source.
“oh.”
There he saw Sage, Rose, and Daisy, whose spirits were incomparably different from before.
They were them, but what surprised me the most was the boy standing on the far right.
“and.”
Fran. A candidate for the warrior of this era and the main character of the game.
“Have you taken any medication?”
The guy had grown so much that I could’ve thought that way. At first glance, if it was a game where you played according to the walkthrough, you could’ve easily seen the ending.
“They took the medicine.”
To my question, Fran shrugged her shoulders and answered indifferently.
Looking to the side, I see three women with haggard expressions, but with eyes that seem to be expecting something, like puppies welcoming their owner.
I nodded in agreement. Just looking at the face, it definitely seemed like he was on drugs.
“That, that’s not the kind of medicine!”
Rose, who was quick-witted, noticed my expression and must have sensed what I was thinking, so she quickly denied something.
“Your teacher gave it to you!”
“Our teacher···?”
“You poured it into our mouths so that we could touch sin, sin!”
Something about the answer seemed strange. Thinking so, I turned my head to the source of the answer, and sure enough, it was Daisy who answered.
“What the heck… No, why is the Master giving you medicine….”
I paused for a moment as I asked the question, then nodded.
Now I understand the situation.
The teacher who left his seat to go to tutoring for several hours a day,
Four men and women who grow noticeably every time they see each other.
Potions that I had seen in the Master’s subspace before, and also in the game.
I didn’t realize it until now because I was so focused on my training, but now I know.
‘Well, it’s not just the evil spirits that are trying to wreak havoc in this world.’
The Master has been training my friends for the future. And he did it quickly, as if he used a cheat key.
In the meantime, Sage grabbed my collar.
“Are you okay?”
“Huh? What?”
“I heard you are being taught by Professor Daphne.”
“ah···.”
I couldn’t quite answer that I was okay. In fact, it wasn’t exactly a good week, even in common parlance.
“How is our baby?”
“Why is he your baby?!”
“I’m worried. Grandma… No, the professor seems to have a rather difficult personality….”
Sage asked worriedly, and Rose, who was next to him, glared at Sage instead of me.
‘I feel dizzy.’
Is it because it’s been a while? Or is it because we met all at once?
Dealing with friends felt more challenging than usual.
“Tweet is···.”
I answered positively, telling her that I was getting along well with my grandmother to the point of being annoying.
“But where are you going? To take a class together after such a long time?”
Daisy poked her head out and asked me.
“no?”
As I tilted my head and answered, Fran muttered with a serious expression.
“i envy you···.”
What’s there to be jealous of? I thought that for a moment, but then I remembered that the professor I was taking this class at was my teacher, so I silently patted Fran on the shoulder.
So after exchanging greetings and chatting for a while, we parted ways.
Next it was my turn to go to the principal’s office, where some pretty big people were waiting for me.
****
When I arrived at the principal’s office, I was purely amazed at how one person could have such great influence.
Headmaster of Aden Academy,
A great wizard from the warrior party,
The head of the subspace magic family,
From the Imperial Sword Master to the Crusader Commander.
They were all powerful figures who controlled the continent. If they wanted to, they were people with enough influence to destroy a kingdom overnight.
Even though they were such great people, all of those great people were sitting in front of one woman with a very respectful attitude.
The woman standing before them, Daphne, had platinum blonde hair tied back roughly, was wearing black horn-rimmed glasses, and was giving a briefing in a sloppy manner.
“···The name of the strange flying object that attacked Captain Michelan is the evil god’s treasure called the ‘Table of Destruction.’ It may be unfamiliar to you. However, I know. The flying object’s large body is just a shell, and the real table is planted in the center of its interior.”
I don’t know what conversation was going on until I came in here.
However, judging from the fact that there was a bump on the forehead of Black Star and Darren, I could only guess that the order of precedence had been clearly established.
“···Our operation is simple.”
The Master continued, pointing with his finger to a spot on the magically created map.
“Here, block all their attacks. Then, counterattack. While the battle is going on, enter the center of the strange flying object and destroy the ‘Table of Destruction.’”
As she said, the operation itself was simple, except that the difficulty was ridiculously high.
As expected, Geomseong, who had been watching the situation the whole time, raised his hand hesitantly and asked a question.
“How do you stop the black magic that took the lives of the Crusaders in a single blow?”
“You don’t have to worry, I’ve prepared it for you.”
“No, even the crusaders who were skilled in anti-air magic circles all died in one hit···.”
“Your Majesty···.”
As if he thought this wasn’t right, Geomseong tried to raise his voice, but Dian, who was relatively quick-witted, hurriedly covered Geomseong’s mouth and stopped him.
And then he whispered.
“I guarantee it. And, Your Majesty, I just established your dignity a little while ago.”
“···Thank you.”
As I watched that scene, I was dumbfounded and shocked. Oh my god. This was a conversation between the so-called Sword Master and the great magician.
“Everything is fine, Daphne.”
In the midst of all this, Hilda opens her lips for the first time.
All eyes are on his long, bearded face.
“But who is invading the center, and how? If what I’ve understood so far is correct, that strange flying object should be floating in the sky forever. Even Daphne, who can use the magic of teleportation, said that she can’t stand up to any being with magical powers…”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? Of course he’ll go.”
The teacher burst into laughter and pointed at me with his finger.
I was a little embarrassed, but I had expected it a little, so I was able to answer calmly.
“Yes, of course I should go.”
Still, I had to ask for water.
“But how do I fly there?”
Then, the teacher made a face as if he really didn’t know that. I was shocked. He didn’t tell me, so of course I didn’t know. How could I know that?
Did he guess what I was thinking just by looking at my expression?
The Master frowned slightly, then waved his hand in the air and opened a subspace.
And then he took something out of there. No, to be exact, he brought it in.
“hi!”
Tweety, who came out of the subspace holding the teacher’s hand, smiled brightly and greeted everyone.
Why are you out there?
