A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

32 – 1. Academy (32)

#32

A moment that is not strange no matter when a war breaks out. Surprisingly, it was that side that retreated first.

“The darkness commands you to reserve your strength!!!!”

“Fear! We will definitely come back!!!”

“The current retreat is to gain momentum…!”

Someone frowned at the betrayal of a classmate they had been with just a few hours ago, and others were furious that their friend had been treated like that.

But I couldn’t move recklessly. It was because both sides were similar that they were tired of constant attacks.

I chose to make the castle more solid rather than chasing the fleeing enemies.

As long as the Archmage is on our side, time is on our side.

I was able to get a clue that someone who orchestrated this was checking the situation inside. All that remains is to get out of here and use the bait to catch it.

“…Take this now”

Lily shoved the 5th Calorie Mate into her mouth and burped like a newborn.

With a sigh, I took the 6th Calorie Mate out of the shadows.

“Don’t complain and eat. A castle wall is a castle wall, but you are the only one who can solve that.”

“Ehh…”

As I chinned my chin toward the ominous magic circle, I held Calorie Mate in my mouth and sucked on one side even as I drooped on the floor like a child complaining about side dishes.

If it weren’t for being able to replenish mana so comfortably with this, we should expect an item that can restore mana by overcoming numerous odds by catching monsters that appear in the field, avoiding crazy people who claim to replenish mana.

Just imagining it makes me feel exhausted.

The person himself knows that well and eats like that. The fact that the reason for complaining is not ‘tasteless’ but ‘bitten’ is no different from being in a blessed environment.

If you try eating high-calorie combat rations that don’t taste good no matter how you cook them, you’ll think this is an angel. There was no bottom and no end to it, so I chewed hard on my insides. It’s my fault for being reincarnated. f*ck.

“…So, do you know what it is roughly?”

“Yes”

Lying on the floor, she stretched out her hand into the air and made it look like a camera. In an instant, five magic circles were positioned like lenses on top of Liri’s eyes.

“Severance, rejection, deceit, contamination, domination, faith.”

As she uttered her words one by one, additional characters were added and removed to the inside of the magic circle.

The transparent pupils located inside the geometric magic circle that rotated as if in tune or moved while adjusting the distance constantly moved and observed the subject. Then she crossed her outstretched hands and narrowed them together.

“Its essence is an altar, or a cradle.”

The completed magic circle was exactly the same as the magic circle floating in the sky. It was just that the color was pure white instead of the ominous gum purple, it wasn’t that different.

She reproduced it close to the original just by simply seeing the magic in the air.

“The medium is this.”

Lili touched the blue jewel on her chest. The problem is the magic circle and the barrier cell. The question of the inspection became stronger.

No, you came all the way and missed something like that? Unless the inspectorate is crazy, you should notice something strange here.

I didn’t tell you in detail, but it was because of that inspection that Hong Soo-ah showed a sharp reaction. Because of that, I suffered real damage, so the crime is even more serious.

“Dismantling itself is easy. But…”

The magic circle on her hand immediately dispersed. Since it was reproduced only to understand the structure of the spell, the magic circle, which had no will to activate, was released with magical power and returned.

“You are forcing someone to sacrifice. Still going.”

Lili quietly closed her eyes and continued her speech. She is blunt, but her voice is full of subdued emotions, as if she recalled her past.

And I had to frown on her at that.

The Altar and the Cradle. Neither of them looked very good.

Isn’t the result created by playing with the spirits of others, forcing sacrifices, and absorbing mana and vitality?

“Who cast that?”

In response to my question, Lili, who absorbed and circulated the mana that was prevalent around her back into her body, slowly shook her head.

“Not here.”

In other words, does the person who plotted this incident just put a trick on the barrier cell and is watching it from outside the barrier?

Since there is also a word called deception, it may be that it has been delayed in noticing the abnormality from the outside by showing false information.

Now, most of the guys with screwed heads have been eliminated, so even if you don’t like it, you have no choice but to notice.

Since it was planned with the goal of concealing it, even if the teaching staff later finds out about it and sets out to solve it, the purpose of the assailant can be achieved by just holding on until the end of the task.

Because even if you don’t openly step forward and pretend to make a mistake at an important time, it can drag on for quite a long time just by interfering little by little. Maybe that’s why teachers still can’t produce such results.

In the case of barriers or magic, it is because a catastrophe can occur if you interfere clumsily, so you have to be careful with caution.

“…Whoa”

He let out a sigh. It’s complicated, but my heart is much lighter. It was because it was for a different reason than the one I was worried about, so I let go.

Well, I wouldn’t use the expression “Sooner or later” With a difference of a day or two. At least, it should be seen that it happens after the welcome party for freshmen.

I was taken aback by the sudden incident, but if I thought about it a little deeper, I could see that this incident was far from the great confusion the woman had mentioned.

If a large amount of monsters flowed out to the extent that a lot of damage would occur, it would be much more beneficial to have skilled teachers tied to the inside of the barrier rather than rookies like us. If you make up your mind and the monsters overflow, the first ones to be trampled are the lack of skills.

So this incident has nothing to do with the monster attack.

We’ll have to wait and see if the guy who planned this has anything to do with it, but at least it’s safe outside the academy right now.

“…How long do you think it will take to Pahe?”

“At least 10 minutes. Up to 2 hours”

“Isn’t that the premise when there was no interference?”

Swallow gulp

Lili, who sucked up all of her calorie mate without answering my words, only nodded her head in agreement.

It may seem dry, but it’s normal. Even though she’s talking to me like this right now, she must be constructing a new spell to destroy her magic circle and escape from here.

Simple disassembly is not enough. If you do that, all the energy that the magic circle gathered to sacrifice will be released at once, and a huge amount of magic will explode, killing all those inside the barrier.

It must be disassembled and reconstructed to create a completely new magic that is opposite to the existing nature. That was the task given to Lili this time.

To be honest, even to a person who is unfamiliar with magic, this is crazy.

If the same task is given, all those who use magic will say that in unison. It’s not your own magic, but interfering with someone else’s magic that has already been deployed is the same as trying to touch a time bomb that is about to explode without any safety devices.

However, the girl in front of me can do it casually.

Because that was made possible. Furthermore, they have the talent to blossom that power and make it completely their own.

“Shinwoo”

Ban Tae-woong, who was leading and sharing information with others while outside, is back.

I handed him Calorie Mate instead of water. The only thing I can drink right now is this. When I bought it at once, I never thought that buying it with the momentum to wipe out all the inventory would see the light like this, but how is it?

Good is good.

“Everybody is ready for battle anytime.”

“Who is the additional source of mental contamination?”

“Perhaps thanks to Sylvia’s protection, no one showed any signs. I don’t know if I go to battle…”

If it’s Sylvia, is she that blue-haired woman? I nodded her head and stood up. For now, that’s enough.

“Let’s prepare soon.”

I just received a message from the hive that the enemies are starting to move. Ban Tae-woong’s expression also became more serious, as if he had intuitively sensed the battle from my expression. Baby i was nervous I lightly punched him in the chest with my fist and walked past.

“You are a vanguard and a commander at the same time. Never fall down.”

“Yes, I will definitely protect everyone”

“It is said to protect yourself first. You idiot.”

Anyway, I can’t say anything.

This guy was like a marginal character who, on the subject of Ji being the main character, misunderstood the misunderstood main character somewhere in the world of misunderstandings by pretending to act like an asshole.

If I say something like sh*t, you have to understand it like sh*t. Only the mouth of the person speaking hurts.

The problem is that even the way he behaves like an idiot like that is like the main character, so I sighed because he was like the main character. Yes, this will work better for this guy than asking him to take care of himself.

“If you want to protect it, never lose. If you fall, the first person to die will be the one right behind you.”

“…Yes”

Ban Tae-woong, who gulped and swallowed, looked at me with a more determined expression.

Yes, think with your head. Understand the importance of your existence. If you think you’re going to die, run away. No matter how protected you are by the world, in the end you are also a human being.

You won’t die because of the moment you fell down for a while. But those around you will die. You will die, howling miserably and desperately, facing the headwind you have been enduring.

If you don’t want to see it, don’t make that mistake. Don’t fall Don’t scream and give up like someone else.

“Let’s go”

Go and do what you have to do. Hero.

To shine the brightest and lead everyone. When you want to sit down after moving like that, then I’ll kick your butt from behind to tell you to stay alert.

Isn’t that the duty of the one who taught it?

“Yes!”

Chuan!!

A stream of sparkling air flowed around him as he drew his sword.

The momentum of the magic that was entangled in gold and black was so strong that it drew the attention of everyone in the castle at once. Ban Tae-woong was neither frightened nor reluctant, even though he received only those gazes.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!!!!”

Strongly and confidently, receiving that gaze, shouted out bravely.

Those who were desperate at the sound of his voice began to move more urgently. Those who had thoroughly prepared began to line up outside the wall following Ban Tae-woong. Each of them took out their weapons and equipped them, and the magician raised magic and became a state where he could fire magic at any time.

Even without mind reading, I was able to clearly understand their minds.

At first, he only followed because he was in S class, but after seeing Ban Tae-woong’s appearance so far, he sincerely wants to fight with him.

“The target is the center of the magic circle!! If we get to the middle and dismantle the magic circle, it’s our victory!!! I will free my friends from the terrible curse that plagues them and escape from this place!!”

“”Ooooo!!!!””

He raised his sword into the air. At that moment, everyone shouted, and in response, a sparkling light broke out from beyond the grass. Ban Tae-woong arrived in front of the forest in an instant and swung his sword.

Kwajachang!!

With the sound of breaking glass, the light was shattered like matter. It was no ordinary light. It was an offensive magic with aggression.

That is the job characteristic of Ban Tae-woong’s job .

His sword can cut both material and non-material. Because his profession’s unique skill is to face and resist anything, he naturally has the power to face everything.

It doesn’t matter if it’s magic or magic realized through magic. Everything he sincerely thinks he can cut is cracked and shattered by his sword.

“Turn around!!!!”

“Light!!! Return to the darkness!!!!!

“Die! Die!!! Die!!!! Dying!!!!!

The appearance of those who jumped out at the same time as the surprise attack was so meager that it was considered a miracle that they were alive. Wouldn’t a person on the verge of collapsing wither look like that? A vegetative human who spent two years in a hospital bed would look healthier than that.

The problem is that even with a body like that, they are going ahead with the attack.

As if he wasn’t afraid of dying, he used his own body as a shield to attack. My eyes have already tasted it. Saliva was dripping from their mouths that wouldn’t close, emphasizing that they weren’t normal.

“Kuh…!”

“No, that’s ridiculous…”

“Alex!! Even you?!”

“You despicable villains…!!”

Those who were agitated here and there came one after another at the hideous appearance. If the agitation spreads like this, it will soon turn into fear. The fear that if you do something wrong, you might end up like them.

Wow!!!

“Ooooo!!!!”

As if to erase it, it was a huge giant who roared as if following Ban Tae-woong.

Short blonde hair and a wall reminiscent of a lake. The giant, who had the appearance of a typical scion, showed off his voluptuous muscles and swung his sword to blow away the approaching zombies.

“Calm down everyone!!! We can only save them if we defeat them as soon as possible!! Come on, before that ominous magic circle consumes all life!”

Reus Bagna, a giant distorted into the form of anger, shouted. He is a knight A knight exists to protect people. Now this situation is like a despicable act of openly despising the meaning of his existence.

Thus he was furious. That anger was gradually contagious, and the cadets, who had been intimidated by the bizarre appearances, began to make up their minds one by one.

“f*ck…! f*ck…!! Sivaaal!!!”

“I’m sorry…but you are more precious!!!”

“Live!! I have to live please…!!!”

Then, a bizarre scene was drawn in which they ruthlessly attacked the enemy with a weapon while telling them to live with their words. I, who had been watching it from the beginning, sighed as I did not know what kind of stupid things they were doing.

But thanks to you, the road has opened, so should I say it’s fortunate? Leaving behind the cadets who were oxidized by the light and starting to drop out, they started moving.

“Let’s go slowly”

“Yes”

While frowning at Lili’s outstretched hands as if it were natural for me, I grabbed her by the waist and put her on top of Raoul, then I rode behind her.

“Wow, so soft and fluffy”

“Keep…”

In the interim, I stood up, grabbed Graul’s ears, and rammed Lili’s head, which had begun to squirm, and seated her back in place.

“…A skill?”

“It’s an equipment effect. It’s made up of my magical power, so if you feel stuffy, adjust it yourself.”

“Ehh, simple interest”

Lily began to show off her skills by pulling the saddle made of shadows with her hands or blocking part of my magical power for a while to change the shadows back to their original form and then return them.

In the end, I manipulated the magic circle in my grip and even created a dagger with a shadow similar to my shadow, but a bit cruder.

Seeing that, I stopped what I was doing and became dazed.

…Did you imitate this during that brief interlude?

That fact gave me goosebumps. Even I didn’t understand her principle and was just using it, but this woman made it her own magic.

Talent. A crazy skill that is only possible because of overwhelming talent and the power to realize it.

“Does this have a name?”

There was no difference from usual when he talked calmly, as if he had just discovered something interesting, even though he had shown such crazy achievements.

Monster

Suddenly, such a thought passed through my head, but I tried to shake it off. Thinking like this is in itself rude to the other person.

I chewed my tongue to regain my senses, then checked the status window to recall the name of the equipment I had forgotten.

“[Doteron’s Masterpiece – Black]”

“Doteron?”

As if she had something to think about for a moment, I forcibly woke her up from her thoughts.

“Stop. Think about it later, let’s get rid of that for now.”

“Ah, yes”

Release the fluttering shadows, she manifested new magic and wrapped it around her.

In an instant, I felt my body lighten, as if I were strengthening myself with magical power. All of my physical abilities were damaged, and I felt as if something glittering was covering my skin.

“Haste, iron body. Is this enough?”

“…Yes”

After wrapping the shadow around Growl and myself, I bent down as if wrapping Lili and grabbed the reins made of shadows.

“Bite this tight. Chew your tongue.”

Because he didn’t specifically ask for an answer, Growl ran at the same time he said that.

“Ugh…!”

As if I was startled by the sudden movement, my body, which had been rigid for an instant, was now shaking. Because of his posture, even the slightest tremor was easily felt. He shivered so much that when he looked down slightly, he could not close his eyes tightly and could see that he was holding Growl’s hair tightly.

Is it scary to move so fast on the subject of flying so high in the sky when shooting magic? In response to her fear of not being able to focus on her, I strengthened the shadow surrounding her rather than being considerate of her.

“Coming.”

Swoon!!

As if avoiding an arrow that aimed precisely at Growl, he stretched out his shadow and forcibly turned to the side. It was a terrifying blow with the power of the wind.

“Kihi, kihihi… Darkness… Darkness…!”

German Genimia. It looked like he would die at any moment because of his skin and bones, but he was certain.

I highly valued his ability to handle bows and spirits, and when I counted him among the hunting team, he turned and fell for himself. I thought I had retired a long time ago because I couldn’t see him even after losing contact, but it was really pitiful to see a bastard called the elemental sage from class S doing that.

But at the same time the alarm bell rang. That’s the annoying thing about mind pollution.

Because it only alters the ideology while remaining somewhat self-conscious, it can freely use the techniques it used before. No matter how high your mental power is, once you are pierced, you will continue to allow that invasion.

Even if it is healed, the effect is strong, and in the worst case, even a normal person who has been attending the academy is born as such an idiot.

People look strong but are surprisingly soft. In particular, the influence of the mind or thoughts is revealed. Especially if it’s a teenager who hasn’t grown up yet.

“Tsk”

I clicked my tongue once and released the shadow on my waist. It was wrong to avoid. If so, break through the front. Or it is the progress after retirement. Glancing at the magic circle in the sky, I guessed that there was no time for that.

“Hey”

“Ugh, huh?”

“You do it yourself.”

It’s not a question of whether you can do it, it’s just a compulsion to do it. I forgot my fear and cast a shadow over the girl in white who opened her eyes blankly and looked back.

“Ah”

In the blink of an eye, she covered her shadow, like her raincoat, and I took one shot at her. Stand straight behind

“Don’t worry, trust me. And break that damn thing.”

That’s how these bastards come to their senses. Above all, Ban Tae-woong and Lucia are following behind. If you take care of a clinging enemy and see it’s approaching at high speed, you’ll be able to follow it almost as well as I’ve dealt with this guy and stuck.

“Do what you can. Don’t overdo it”

With that said, I roughly whipped the white hair of the guy who was staring blankly at me, jumped off Graul’s back, rode on the wind, and aimed my bow at the guy’s head, aiming it in this direction, and loaded the bow.

“Key, Kihik?”

“You are the only one who shoots arrows, you bastard.”

Teeing!

Shoo!! Quaang!!

The bow collided with the bow. It was an absurdly weak attack to see it as a clash between magical power and spirit power. In the end, the arrow containing my magical power passed through his arrow of wind and reached him.

Tung!

“Kihik…!”

Belatedly, an earth spirit appeared and defended the arrow, but the arrow collapsed and fell to the ground. I landed on the ground and moved right away.

Quad Deuk!!

I was aiming for the spot where I had just been seated with a pinpoint, and the ground collapsed. The corners of my mouth went up at the sight of the ground folded like a denture.

“Are you weak?”

Its power wasn’t exactly half and half of his strength the last time I saw it. Originally, he would have created a huge sinkhole all over the land instead of such a crappy trap, drowning me and filling the hole in the ground at the same time.

In fact, he has won several times using such tactics against warriors in close combat without even firing a bow.

‘No, maybe it’s natural’

The downside of the Spirit Ceremony, which uses the power of the spirit, is that a relationship of trust with the spirit must be established and the bond must be strengthened before it can exert its full power.

But looking at the guy’s condition, it’s not normal. The spirits that floated around him were clear enough that even a guy with no aptitude for spirits could recognize them.

I don’t see why. It moves violently with that body that doesn’t look strange even if it dies at any time. The spirits desperately surrendered their power by squeezing the helpless power they had, just because they didn’t want him to die.

The spirits are nature’s friends and sons and daughters. There must have been nothing sweeter than the vitality extracted from living beings closely related to natural energy. His body, which looks particularly thin compared to others, is proof of that.

I projected magic onto my fingers and bounced off the energy of the earth, which seemed to disappear at any moment.

“Carlion”

Perfect!!

At the same time as the magic echoed, a huge lizard landed right on top of his head. The guy was startled by that fact and tried to avoid it, but my shadow was set up faster than that.

“Key, Kihi…”

“Why? Smile again, damn it.”

Thump!!!

“Kek…!”

The guy who was exactly crushed under Kalion flinched his arm several times, and then he was engulfed in white light and exited.

[The level of Has risen.]

[The level of ‘S skill [Yeokjin] Has risen.]

[The strength ability has increased by 1.]

“Geee…”

The guy sticking out his tongue at the uncomfortable feeling that something was sitting under him moved, and there was a small jewel that glowed dark brown.

Once I held it, which faintly felt the power of the spirit, I quietly made a shadow pouch and took it.

I haven’t heard of items being obtained by retiring a cadet, so this must be a sign of the spirit’s death.

It must have been that he handed over his power to the very end and died as it were. I don’t know what his existence is to the spirits, but I wondered if he had to give up his own life to protect such an asshole.

Summoned beasts and spirits are similar but belong to different categories, so it was difficult to conclude anything.

Let’s move on. I invested the points I gained from Kalion’s level up in intelligence, and as I rode on Kalion’s back, I strengthened my mana to enter the shadows of my whole body.

The goal is where Growl is. It takes too long to make your way through the trees. Also, it would be easier for Ban Tae-woong or Lucia to visit.

“Ignore and run”

“Gureureung!!!”

As if to protect me using yeokjin, the guy who grew the scales quickly ran forward. Unlike Growl, which moves up and down in a straight line, the feeling of moving in a zigzag was different.

Boom!! Bang!!

It was the same with the way they rushed as if they didn’t care about trees or rocks. To be honest, the ride comfort was close to the worst. It’s clumsy and shakes wildly without even trying, and the impact feels like a shock zone, but all the parts that touch the body are hard scales, so I felt like I was going to get a cramp in my groin.

Nevertheless, it was fast enough to be comparable to Growl in terms of speed. This is how it feels to run with pure physical strength without any technique or anything.

I could see Growl and Lily constructing magic while avoiding someone’s attack.

“…What is that again?”

The moment I saw the enemy standing in my way, a question mark appeared in my head.

For some reason, there was a black girl with the same appearance as Lili, but with the exact opposite color.
