A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

12 – 1. Academy (12)

#12

I put my head on the cold desk and pondered.

Yesterday and today I was too emotional. It must have been that the stress was building up without me realizing it.

Perhaps the effect of the dumpinite flower that I took that day was still in my body.

In that respect, what she did to me can be said to be her best choice.

He gave me necessary information and forced me to eat balanced food. Thanks to that, I couldn’t get my body back to normal, like when I was sick in the morning, and I even became healthy.

The ingredients of the food must be good. Because there was nothing in her food that was not an elixir. Maybe I hit a drug I don’t know about. Thanks to that, my hair was unusually tidy.

It’s so good that you might mistakenly think your head is empty.

‘I created debt for nothing’

That woman is always like that. She does anything for her own fun. It’s similar to me, but it’s a decidedly twisted metamorphosis. She is willing to sacrifice her own body and sell her own emotions as long as she has fun.

You act as if you live for today and it’s okay even if it ends.

As a result, they don’t care how sad and painful they are around them. She genuinely found it amusing, so that was enough.

It was like a dragon that I only saw in novels enjoying amusement. It’s just a slightly different worldview, but the essence and the power they have are not so different, so it’s not completely wrong.

That’s why I didn’t like it even more.

What she does is not to fix her bottomless poison, but to pour more water into it than it escapes.

Even though you can get a feeling of ecstatic satiety beyond a temporary sense of satisfaction right now, the hole that has been worn and worn out will be even bigger.

In the end, there will be nothing left to do but run out of water.

Even if you don’t have the power of prophecy, you can see that the end of the twisted one is not so good.

It is better to pay off your debt as quickly as possible. It’s no joke that she appeared here, so it wouldn’t be strange if lightning suddenly fell from the dry sky in the middle of a real city and a storm raged.

I needed strength, strength.

We need to be faster and stronger. To the point where she doesn’t have her help, and even to the point where she can help her.

I didn’t want to be the kind of person who appealed to her one-sided feelings by reminding her of her one-sided debt to her, fearful of when her favor would end, like the other bastards under her.

In my previous life, I hated that kind of person the most, and I still do.

Trade is established because there is mutual benefit. A one-way relationship is nothing more than a parasite, not a transaction.

“Yo! Did you come earlier than expected today?”

In that respect, I like this guy.

If she is a tree that she generously spreads, then this guy is like an extremely fair scale. He adds up to what he received and gives back. This guy’s job matched his personality well.

“Take… or take it.”

I took out the convenience store envelope I had hung up next to my desk and gave it to him.

In the end, instead of coming to the academy right away, I counted the road to another place and went all the way to the convenience store and then came back. Thanks to that, I was able to recall that I was still suffering from muscle pain, but let’s say it’s a relief that I was able to remember getting a drink from him.

Ban Tae-woong, who opened the lid of a can with a bizarre picture of melons squeezed by hand and drank it, trembled once and let out a breath.

“Wow, the taste of this refreshing melon! In addition, my favorite spirit seal chocolate bread is big… This means I like friends!”

The guy made a fuss about being thrilled and ate chocolate bread and other drinks at once on the spot. Anyone who sees it will know that they have starved for a few days.

“Have you not eaten?”

“No? Did you eat I heard that today’s class is all about ranking matches, so I ate a little on purpose to practice until the tight time. But when I arrived at school after training, I was so hungry. Saved me time to go to the store. Really thank you.”

“Ugh”

From the moment an Awakener awakens to magic, he can convert all of the surplus energy in his body into magic. Just like resting the body to replenish physical strength, it is to recharge energy called magic through nutrients.

Thanks to this, the metabolism of an awakened person is 12 times higher than that of a non-awakened person, and the speed at which they digest food and accept it as energy is also abnormally fast.

In short, no matter how much I eat, I don’t gain weight.

The metabolism is quickened, the skin improves, and the role of natural self-protection through magic becomes possible, so it is less exposed to the outside, so aging is slow.

Because the balance of the body that has been established while growing is also adjusted as naturally as possible, all Awakened people have a beautiful appearance comparable to celebrities unless they continue to engage in erratic eating, violent habits, or behavior.

As one’s abilities increase and one’s magic power increases, the proportion increases exponentially, so it’s only natural that the academy’s overall appearance average, which is a gathering of guys who are confident to be geniuses from all over the world, is high.

In other words, what that guy did was a habit inherited from athletes in a time when there were no Awoken people.

The optimal physical condition sharpens the mind so that you can focus more on battle. The same things

But it’s best for awakened people to just eat well. The more you eat, the faster your stamina and mana recover. The exchange cost is bad, but there is also a way to temporarily drain your physical strength and replenish your mana.

In the forefront of stopping the monsters moving south from China, if the battle is likely to be prolonged, consume high-calorie food with potions that are 10 times the recommended calories for an average adult male, or chew high-calorie compressed gum to endure the long battle. Also do

It is a type of technology called calorie doping in vulgar language.

So, what he did was meaningless, and furthermore, it was nothing more than an act of slashing one’s own power. However, I do not criticize this because it is a matter of the mood of the person doing it. If you can maintain the best condition by tying yourself up, it is also a surplus business.

“I’m sure you’ll do well”

“Yes! This time, I want to aim for the top 30.”

Yes, surprisingly, the main character is still stuck at 50th. 57 To be exact. That means that at this point, there are 56 more people who are similar to or stronger than the main character.

Some say it’s simply because they don’t match, or because it’s difficult to deal with people, but most of Ban Tae-woong’s skills have a restriction that [Starts from receiving an attack], So he can’t keep his physical strength intact as he goes backwards. Throwing away is big.

Because most of Ban Tae-woong’s skills shine the brightest against a party or against monsters that can protect and help someone. The word “Right place” Is not for nothing.

No matter how superhuman they may seem, Awakeners are human in the end. It hurts when you get hit, it hurts when you get sick, and it’s hard when you’re tired. Unless he becomes overwhelmingly strong enough to win without using any skills, I wonder if it will be difficult for the current Ban Tae-woong to rise to the top.

Resolving it somehow and training it would be one of the ways he becomes stronger. Even after that, we continued simple small talk until the bell announcing the start of class rang. He deliberately didn’t say that there were guys targeting the academy or that it might be dangerous.

It’s already over, and now that I’ve come to find out, there’s nothing Ban Tae-woong can do.

I don’t know what kind of rain the black magic will give, but it’s okay. If it were not for nothing, she would end up in her line.

On the contrary, if it is a job that can be completed in our line, I will return to the position of a bystander for the sake of fun… But that is not my part-time job. Be strong, hero. You must be strong for my peaceful future.

Come to think of it, when I said something was missing, there were no harem members for the main character.

As if everyone had promised, they left their seats and narrowly entered the classroom with Hong Soo-ah. Judging by her appearance, she doesn’t seem to be in a hurry, but is there really something?

I don’t really want to know, I don’t want to care, but I naturally looked at it because it was something that happened recently. When they become dangerous, it is the main character who goes crazy and throws his body. Then, when the main character turns black, I get tired of having to deal with it.

‘Please don’t do anything’

No, even if it’s nothing, don’t do anything big.

I watched Hong Soo-ah begin to explain her various rules and explanations by drawing up a bracket before starting the ranking match against the class, and then quietly turned her eyes away from her window.

***

Around Stadium 3, where we arrived under the guidance of the professor, there were pillars emitting blue light on the outer wall, making it look like a magical Colosseum.

If the first stadium existed to accommodate and utilize as many people as possible, the third stadium is only focused on sparring.

The blue pillars located on each outer wall are a kind of magic tool made with magic engineering that mixes modern science, magical power, and the mystery of an awakened person.

As an object of resolution different from items or artifacts with special powers that can be obtained as rewards from dungeons, magic tools could contain only the concepts and effects manifested by the skills of the awakened people.

Let’s assume that a wizard with the [Fire Magic] Skill produces a magic tool containing a Spell that can create small embers.

Since the magic circle is already processed into the magic stone at the stage of production, the person who uses the magic tool skips all steps such as spells, chanting, and magic, and simply projects magic into the magic circle recorded inside the magic tool. You can activate Just by doing it.

Intuitively speaking, it is no different from using magic as a proxy. Just making it possible through tools, not people.

That pillar also has a magic tool like that. It’s just that there’s an absurd amount of magic and skills in it.

It all focuses on saving lives and observing them somehow, such as extending and recovering life, canceling abnormal conditions, restoring the terrain, building barriers to prevent damage from spreading to the outfield, reducing damage to designated targets, and distributing accumulated damage. Has been

Even if you feel like dying, if you don’t die, it becomes an experience and becomes fertilizer. Although it is a rule-of-thumb field theory, there is nothing more certain than experiencing it with the body, so that magic tool was created to provide a safer practical experience.

What the academy wants is not plants in a greenhouse, but troops and sharp weapons that can be put in. In a world where bizarre things such as monsters and dungeons are prevalent, military force will be a surer means and asset than anything else.

“To equip all provided barrier cells”

When the palm-sized blue mechanical device was placed on the edge of the heart, it resonated with the owner’s magical energy and attached itself to it. At the same time, as if scanning the body, the mana sweeps through the body once, and when the number 100 is projected on the surface of the mechanism, the preparation is over.

This is a kind of HP mark and a kind of safety device.

By recording the body information at the time on the server, even if an arm is blown off or an organ is lost, it can be restored somehow. In the first place, before such a fatal wound is inflicted, the barrier cell’s standby function will work, but since it is a world full of mysteries, it is necessary to assume what if.

“Once again, the decision to win or lose is made when the opponent is incapacitated or the cell percentage becomes 0, and the surrender is declared. Please note that the score is updated immediately after the decision is made and the ranking changes.”

There is no explanation about safety or anything.

They are here to fight. There is nothing more foolish than explaining safety rules and how to shoot a mercenary to a mercenary running into a battlefield, since the people here are not ordinary people.

“However, in the case of attacking the opponent with clear intentions despite the decision of winning or losing, the student will be expelled without exception.”

Most of the people in the arena were nervous at the sight of Hong Soo-ah, who was so chilly that she was shot everywhere as if to stab her. Even the same teachers are embarrassed.

I know why she has her zen attitude on days like that. It’s because the crime that the victim of ‘me’ has already happened. It doesn’t matter how thick darkness and great malice lurks behind it.

She’s just furious that this happened in her class.

Awakened people are punished more severely than ordinary people even if they commit the same crime. Because you have the power you have. That’s why, if you’re kicked out of the academy like that, it won’t end with a simple expulsion.

There is a high probability that you will become a criminal or be branded accordingly. In any case, it is certain that obstacles will be placed on the road ahead.

Nickel stopped the rampage once, but she didn’t give in. Rather, she is moving in a different direction and moving more precisely.

This must be because she wants to solve this problem in her own way. She doesn’t know if it’s selfish or not unless she watches it from now on.

“The tournament is divided into 4 teams, A, B, C, D. The winner can choose whether to repeat the match with the winner and go up or give up, and the loser can move on to free sparring or watch other players’ matches. The selection of players is all decided at random, and no objections will be accepted.”

Thump!

The stomping of the foot filled with mana jiggled inside as if listening to the vibration of a huge amplifier up close.

“There will be a reasonable reward for those who show off excellent results, and even if they lose the game, their ranking will not unconditionally go down. The course of Dalian will also be graded, so show off your skills as much as possible. Even if you lose the game, you will be able to experience the magic of rising in the rankings.”

At the same time, the huge hologram floating in the air had the tournament groups that Hong Soo-ah had previously decided in the classroom written on them, but they were distributed to each team and started to be randomly mixed within them.

“Please! Please let me fight the archers!!”

“Wizards… Come out, wizards lower than me…!”

“Evil! Why are my lines all high rank!?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

I was able to leisurely find my name in the fantastic collaboration of teachers who calmed the cadets, who showed their own reactions and started looking for their names, saying that notifications would be sent through the devices when all assignments were completed. There was.

Thanks to the skill [Speed Reading], Finding it like this was faster than waiting to be notified.

“I found it.”

[Team C [Ranking – ???] Shinwoo Jang VS Reus Bagna [Ranking – 16th] Team C]

Looking at it that way, it looks like a fighting game HP bar. By the way, is it ‘bagna’? It is a famous name for an English knight family.

After confirming that a line was drawn on the floor of the stadium in Stadium 3 and divided into four zones, I immediately headed for the designated area for Team C. Then, as if I had been waiting, a human figure jumped out in front of me.

“Are you Jang Shin-woo?”

My first impression was that it was a picture-like article. On her waist, she was wearing a sword with the family seal engraved on it, and black eyes that contrasted with her short blonde hair were staring at me.

Even though he was wearing an academy uniform, his arms were twitching and he was asserting himself, and he looked over 2M tall no matter what he ate. Thanks to that, I inevitably had to lift my head up to see his face and talk to him.

“Haa…”

I let out a sigh. My height is by no means short, but it is like this. Rather, it is greater than the national average of the previous life.

Ban Tae-woong is also the same, and this story is not unique to this man.

Those who have jobs or skills that are related to the body at least have huge bodies. It’s natural to grow up in better conditions because you have to use your body, but apart from the understanding of your head, it didn’t feel good.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the attitude of that guy who looks at me as if he’s looking at me is playing a part in his irritation for no reason.

“I asked if you were tall.”

Hearing a sigh, the guy narrowed his forehead even further and asked me again.

In the novels I read in my previous life, I remember that most of them said that if you want to ask for your name here, you should start with your name. It feels like an event to make others aware of the existence of the main character.

But I am not the main character. It’s annoying enough that this guy is laughing in front of me right now, but it’s obvious that it’ll become even more annoying if he catches other people’s attention. I nodded his head in agreement before his voice grew louder.

“My name is Reus Bagna. He is the eldest son of the Bagna family and your first sparring opponent.”

“…Uh, yes”

So what, what?

Looking at me seems to want something, but I don’t know what it is. Do you really want me to do that embarrassing thing? Tell me not to be funny Aside from whether it was a knight play or a real knight, I didn’t want to do it. Sincerely.

Turbuck

As I tried to pass by, avoiding my gaze, he blocked my way as if it were natural. What are you really doing? Maybe it’s because he’s so big that he doesn’t need to use it.

Everyone is on edge because of the confrontation. As the unwelcome gazes gather one by one, attention is drawn even if they do not like it. I can’t repeat this either.

The easy thing to do is to return the answer to him, just like he claimed, so why should I make concessions? It was annoying to look up at him, but I didn’t like the fact that I had to lose to the guy I was going to fight with over trivial things like this.

I glared at him without hiding my irritation. He raised his magical energy and prepared for a fight, but the expected backlash from the magical powers did not come. He was just looking at me with dark eyes that I couldn’t understand his true intentions, and he was just holding on in front of the corner of the road passing by like a solid mountain.

“Go away”

“…I haven’t heard a proper introduction yet”

“You came here asking my name first. Then don’t you already know? Why do you want to hear it again? Or is it a new way of arguing?”

Even though I vomited sharp words, I reaped my magic.

He had no will to fight. I don’t know why he stopped me, but even though I pressed him using magic, he didn’t use magic to counter it.

It’s not like I don’t have any magical energy, but the fact that I didn’t get into a fight between the Awakened means that I’m not very confident in my magical power or have no intention of fighting.

“…Tsk”

They clicked their tongues as if they were exhausted and passed by, aiming for an opportunity to catch their breath. This time he didn’t block me.

So we stood face to face on the top of the arena with many eyes off. Unlike me, who is sharp-edged, he looked at me with a rather complicated expression and then opened his mouth.

“I heard that you are a close friend of Ban Tae-woong, so I thought you also had your own chivalry, but your resolution is a little different. I’m glad I got to know you a little bit. I think you are a little different from the rumors.”

“What?”

Suddenly, I started talking bullsh*t, so I unknowingly asked back. I wondered if he was finally revealing his true colors and provoking him with trash talk, but his expression was completely different from that kind of thing.

His expression was very calm, and he seemed to be looking at something rather pitiful.

“Even though you were in S class, no one saw you during the entrance exam. Even when everyone fought together in the first class, I couldn’t see you. Even when the monsters messed up the class, you were invisible.”

That was right. I was admitted directly to the principal by parachute, so I got admission without having to take an exam.

For the first class, I went to the teacher’s office to argue that my class was wrong, but it took longer than necessary, so I came in late. The last one came out after rolling hard in my own way, so I didn’t even know that happened until I heard from Hong Soo-ah.

Are you simply saying that there are people who question my abilities?

But is that a rumor? This is the place to prove it. It’s something you’ll naturally come to know as time goes by, but what the hell is it that makes you so hot?

“You look like you don’t know. An unspecified number of people raised objections to the student council. Unlike other people who take it seriously, you are a bully who has a bad attitude and skips classes without permission, forgetting even the duties of an Awakener and deftly escaping from all sorts of incidents. He asked me to find out the reason and the truth about why such a guy is in S class.”

“Is there anyone in this academy who talks like that?”

If you twist it, you can come to fight yourself, right? Because that is possible, there is a ranking system. This is not a daycare center for children. It is more like an academy for nurturing warriors.

If you are going to stay here with such a mind, it would be wiser to pack your bags and go out and look for another job.

“What is the source?”

“Since it is an anonymous post, I don’t know who it is. It’s a story I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t joined the morality committee. However, the rumor spread quickly beyond the first grade to the second and third graders in less than a day, so I heard that someone is intentionally spreading the rumor.”

“…That sucks, really f*cking”

So, it is said that the reason why Hong Soo-ah half-confirmed me as the culprit and sent her will to attack was not simply because of my temper, but also because of such bad rumors.

From my point of view, it’s now the 3rd day of the academy, but it was possible for others to make friends from the exam to some extent. Perhaps there is an unofficial community of Sunrise Academy that I don’t know about.

From the very beginning, like flowers and rumors, I have been determined to feed myself with water.

No, the reason why they targeted me was simply because I was a protruding stone. There is nothing as irritating as a angled nail, so it should be enough to attract attention.

From the point of view of the culprit, it doesn’t matter to anyone, but since I’m a good person to use, it’s nothing more than a combination of both. It would have been better to use it because it had an antipode called Ban Tae-woong.

Perhaps the Darkness knew that I was friends with Ban Tae-woong and wanted me to be jealous and jealous of Ban Tae-woong by emphasizing this even more. Then maybe he was thinking of approaching me and using it as a disposable throwaway.

‘It’s obvious, but it seems to work well, so it’s a problem’

No matter how talented this place is, it is a gathering place of children who have not reached adulthood.

In other words, adolescence is a period of stormy rage where emotions are not properly controlled and bump into and out. My personality is twisted like this from the beginning, so it must have been very easy for me to control the chicks who had not yet established their own convictions.

Man is a social animal after all. Just as the word “Crowd psychology” Is not for nothing, human psychology is complex yet easy.

I suddenly had a question.

“…Why are you telling me this?”

“There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that Ban Tae-woong sincerely thinks of you as a friend.”

The knight looking at me was still honest and clear at the same time. Straight eyes that can’t see anything like blur. It was a very eerie feeling.

“The Ban Tae-woong I saw is a rare hero in this era, but at the same time, he is also an extremely realistic person. It was hard to see such a person as a third-rate villain who could be truly trusted. Even if he seems evil, there must be some reason.”

He had complete trust in Ban Tae-woong. The knight spoke in a voice full of conviction, not abstract emotion. I didn’t like it, so I objected to him with a pout.

“If Ban Tae-woong is a black-hearted bastard, why do you believe so much?”

“I didn’t want to be a blind, open-eyed person who judges people only by hearsay.”

He shook his head and flatly denied my words. I couldn’t help but frown at his confident look. I get it. Where did I see those eyes?

It is very similar to the eyes often shown by hard-nosed guys who thoroughly adhered to their beliefs even in the midst of war.

“I hoped that there would be no unfair people and that no one would be sad because of just bad words and manipulated slander, and I tried to believe and prove only what I saw and felt with my own eyes, not what I heard from others. I wanted to become such a knight, trained myself, and am standing here now.”

The knight who drew the sword from his waistband slammed it on the ground and said to me.

“My name is Reus Bagna! It is the third sharpest sword of the Bagna family, called the By the people!!”

Thump!!

His momentum changed as he stomped his foot and aimed his sword at me. Magical power, a huge flow of magic power reminiscent of a blue wave encroached on all sides. The calm lake just now became a sea with rolling waves in an instant, and was in front of me.

“In order to prove that my beliefs are not wrong, I am trying to find out who you are here.”

Wow!!

Like a huge wave colliding to create high waves, vivid magical energy condensed into his sword and hardened into the shape of a sword.

It was a beautiful sword river with nothing to see. In other words, Aura Blade.

It is a skill that goes beyond just putting magical power around a sword and turns the condensed magical power around the sword into a substance from another world, just like strengthening one’s own body.

“I decided that it would be easier to fight the warlike you once than to say a hundred words. I will dedicate myself to prove you all.”

[Reus Bagna, Ready]

That assertion was both arrogant and bold. I had to feel absurd beyond dumbfounded at the declaration that only the strong could make. Certainly, it is extraordinary. Are all the guys in the top 20 only monsters like that?

At first glance, her magic power was similar to mine… No, it seemed a little more than mine.

Does this make sense? The fact that the magic barrel of a summoning love knight who is close to a pure rearguard is similar?

What it means is that there is such a difference between him and me. I said that I work hard in my own way, but it seems that those who have been trained since childhood from good families and coated with good elixirs are different from each other.

If I knew it would be like this, since I was a child, I would also feed the main character a few elixirs as candy. Then wouldn’t the main character be stronger now? It was naturally one step closer to peace, but it was very disappointing.

I was busy with research, but I thought I would do well on my own, so I neglected anything other than education, but that was a failure.

Well, even if Ban Tae-woong gave it anyway, wouldn’t he run away saying he wouldn’t eat any more or vomit with his hand down his throat, saying he would vomit again? If he still doesn’t get an answer, he’ll cry and say he’ll pay it back later.

Ah, thinking about it again, I think it was an opportunity to build more debt to the main character, but I blew it. I’m not the type to regret the past, but this is a bit disappointing.

“Come on! Raise your weapon, Jang Shin-woo. Deal with me with all your might for my proof.”

“…Ha”

Awake from my thoughts at those words, I lowered my head and touched my throbbing forehead.

There was so much information coming in at once that I couldn’t figure out which one to process first. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to solve the problem right in front of you?

[Jang Shin-woo]

Yes, first of all, let’s get rid of that ignorant mana and think slowly.

I raised my mana and pushed back the mana that shamelessly encroached on my surroundings. If his mana is a rough wave, I will become a huge rock that the wave cannot overcome.

More solid, more powerful. To the point that I can never get over it again

“Shut up and attack me.”

As soon as he flipped his head back, he concentrated his mana on the shadow created from his grip.

[Ready]

Crying!

A black shadow scattered through my magical power. The darkness that grew in an instant, ignoring the laws of physics, permeated his entire body, turning his beige-toned school uniform black. I layered my hands as they were and made the one most familiar to my hand now and hardened it.

Tongue

A black iron pipe. The shape of the shadow is completely dependent on my imagination, so it appeared as a rough, rough finish with a bandage.

After putting it on my shoulder, I raised my free hand into the air and condensed mana.

“Don’t get hung up on me for doing something wrong later”

Because it was you who brought this on yourself.

“Hive. Growl”

I snapped my fingers as I recited two names that were now completely stuck to my lips.

[Confrontation begins!!]
