73 – 2. ■■’S Summoner (18)

#73

Nothing happened on the second day that the woman had been with her.

When I arrived at the academy with the feeling of disbanding before sunset after taking classes other than Traveler’s and experiencing them, Lee Se-rin and Traveler had already disappeared.

I went into a nearby mart and bought mostly things with a long shelf life and shoved them into the shadows. I went to the dormitory and went to sleep to enjoy the weekend at least a little.

Monday came just like that.

If you head to the place marked on the device instead of going to class, you will find a super-large cruise ship at the port.

Various convenience facilities are natural, and it seems to be moving through this ship together with manpower who can cope with any exceptional situation.

While everyone was nervous about the full-scale preparations, I looked at Hong Soo-ah, who was giving orders here and there with a sullen expression.

If you’re a person with skills like her, you’d be able to feel my gaze, but for a moment, I was able to find that the teachers were showing a cold attitude towards all students except me. .

From that appearance, I was able to instinctively know that the test had already begun.

Originally, I would have stayed in the cabin and slept a little longer, but in the end I decided to sit on the deck and enjoy the scenery.

You don’t know what might happen on the way back and forth, so if an unexpected situation arises, make sure you have a clear idea of the escape route you can ride in the Kalion in case of an emergency, so you’re less tired.

As I was rolling my head here and there, time passed quickly.

I let out a light sigh as I saw the island seen from the academy-prepared ship across the sea.

It is because the appearance of the other side, leaning on the railing, maintained the appearance of a remote area where one would not think that people live even with lies.

What worries me more than anything else is that there are teachers who have been secretly channeling magic power throughout this ship since earlier.

It is not a dangerous purpose. If there was hostility, [Focused on Combat] Or [Subdued] Should have been activated right after I interfered with magic, but it wasn’t.

In other words, this is also part of the test.

I haven’t reached the point of understanding the nature of the magic I want to activate just by looking at my magic, but thanks to my knowledge of magic accumulated to some extent while nurturing Kalion, the runes flowing along my magic can help me understand what kind of magic I want to activate. I knew to what extent.

“Illusions and Illusions.”

In other words, illusion.

I didn’t experience it at the time of the first greeting before, but I had a thrilling declaration ceremony using an illusion and a hologram, and I heard it.

The person who made it was one of the academy’s teachers, and was said to be a master of magic.

It seemed like a rough drawing. It was hard to think of an event that felt like a simple field trip for midterm exams in an academy that values practical combat.

The reaction of the professors, who were especially cold today, penetrated even the cadets without realizing it, and they all started to get nervous implicitly.

Since it’s a test right now, you might think it’s just because of your mood and pass it, but humans are very cunning animals.

When something happens to you over and over again, you naturally want to get out of that situation.

Basically, the mentality of the weak who want to escape from threats is deeply rooted from the level of DNA, the basis of living things.

With such a crisis avoidance instinct, humans were able to survive and evolve. Although there are advantages that have arisen through evolution and increased thinking and knowledge, the disadvantages are also clearly established.

One of them is ‘self-rationalization’.

What if is a real what if. What if some kind of incident suddenly happens and this situation turns into a drift on an uninhabited island, not a test?

…What if some kind of ‘existence’ is added to it, who doesn’t know when it will target them?

Are you thinking too far ahead? You might think it’s an over-interpretation, but I think it’s something that can happen.

Because this world is crazy. It’s simple if you think about it in contrast to the scenarios of novels or games. Although they are at the level of a mediocre cadet, they have entered the realm of superhumans.

It is a gathering of those who are called geniuses among the Awakened.

Will this academy be satisfied with just letting such people participate in a survival game through prior notice? When I see it, I don’t see it.

Because in situations like this, you have to think of the worst case scenario.

As we got closer to the island, the students began to murmur at the appearance of magical energy that began to show its momentum without any intention of hiding it.

aaa!!!!

At the same time, the siren’s loud alarm sound generated magical energy and wrapped itself around the body.

No matter how hostile I was to the opponent, as soon as I started to fight, the skills recognized the situation as a battle and gradually began to activate their effects.

As I put on the mask of shadow based on my abilities that started to increase, my vision instantly became clear and I began to see things that I hadn’t seen before.

‘Someone is at sea.’

The personnel seated as if to watch the surroundings of the ship were familiar. All were academy teachers. Some wore strange gimmicks and others wore caps that looked like military combat coats.

Perhaps that is a tool with a stealth effect.

Now that I’ve seen it, I wonder why I didn’t know until now, but on the contrary, it must mean that they were hiding with sincerity that much.

Perhaps, from the moment I boarded the ship, I was caught in a high degree of magic.

I felt a cold sweat run down my back from the sight of him floating on top of the sea using mana instead of being inside the boat.

Ah, I think this is f*cked up.

“What the hell is that?!”

“Monster! Monsters have appeared!!!”

“Rain is a villain!! The villain brought a monster!!”

The cadets, who had begun to stir as soon as they saw them, quickly jumped onto the deck and started shouting.

As the cadet who made the noise turned his gaze to where his hand was pointing, he could see a large number of monsters and black dolls sitting on top of them in the sky.

It’s a look that makes you feel tense just by looking at it, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of incongruity in many ways.

For a surprise attack, it seemed like they were just watching the scene without attacking right away.

The most awkward thing was the flow of the wind. It moves naturally in accordance with the movement of the surroundings, but I could see things such as hair and clothes moving differently from the wind.

It is a small part that would not be visible unless you observe it closely, but thanks to the skills and increased stats, it was not difficult to see it.

The most suspicious thing was the reaction of the people around them.

The proof is that the hologram, which does nothing but opens its mouth, and the expressions of the cadets around it have become contemplative.

Perhaps phantom magic is added to some of the missing parts to erase the sense of heterogeneity and make it more realistic.

Thanks to that, I was convinced that they were holograms.

I am now able to observe this leisurely because I was half forcibly freed from the influence of phantom magic under the influence of increased magical power, but in the eyes of others who are still immersed in phantom magic, they look very menacing. I wonder if there is

Goo Goo Goo!!

As expected, the moment the hologram monster opened its mouth wide, as if they had been waiting for the moment, the teaching staff who had been sitting in the sea approached the ship and began shaking the ship intentionally by stamping the sea with magic.

“You can’t do that!!”

On the way, someone suddenly jumped up from the top of the ship. It was none other than Ban Tae-woong. I put my sword forward and tried to cut horizontally while concentrating my magic power, but the hologram snapped my hand accordingly.

“What?!”

Ban Tae-woong’s surprised voice continued.

Kikik…!!

Teaching staff began to move accordingly. One side supported the ship so that it would not capsize completely, while the other side deliberately pushed the ship to create a breathtaking appearance.

Perhaps he wants to create a scene where the ship is tilted after being attacked by the enemy.

“Kuh, the ship…!”

Someone appeared in front of Ban Tae-woong, who was still in the air and panicked.

He hid himself with black clothes and a mask, but he was able to know roughly who he was from the flow of magical power that erupted from there after he put on his gloves again.

‘Are there not only 1st grade teachers, but also teachers from other grades?’

The bald man I saw then. That person was clear. No matter how much time passed, it would not be easy to forget that unique attack method and habit.

Awesome!!

Ban Tae-woong, who noticed the burning attack belatedly, was startled and tried to respond, but the enemy’s attack succeeded faster.

Kang!!

“Kuh…!”

“Mr. Taewoong!!!”

He twisted his body quickly and somehow managed to defend himself with the side of his sword, but it was only half-success.

Kwaaang!!!

Belatedly, Lucia moved at the sight of Ban Tae-woong, who was blown away in the exact direction of the island with a roar, but even that could not deliver a meaningful blow.

Puck!

“…!”

Kudang Kwang!

She jumped to block the flying Ban Tae-woong, but before she could get close to him, as if to block the action, she was hit by her fists, which she threw up and fell right on top of her deck. Rolled

He was pushed back for a long time even though he rolled several times, and it was evident that he struck with quite strong force.

If left unattended, it seemed as if she would fall over the railing and into the sea, so I stretched out her shadow, caught her rolling, and moved her to my side.

“Cool, cool.”

“Keep your mind straight. Because this is a test.”

“Poem, Hum…?”

“So, do you remember the first day of the academy? That’s it.”

Lucia, who looked startled even as she pulled herself together at my words, quickly began to put her magical energy on her body.

Only then did her eyes begin to glow as a visibly intense magical energy floated around her body.

After that, he quickly looked around because the image he had seen so far and the image he was seeing now were different.

Her recovery seemed quick for what seemed like a lot of damage. She also means that she was gorgeous on the outside, but had proper power control.

If you’re a real attacker, you won’t need to adjust your power, so this is also a staged sound. Perhaps the appearance of Ban Tae-woong, who was the first to throw himself, had an added bonus or something similar to it. Maybe what I flew in the first place was a kind of help to get to the island faster than others.

When I raised my head and looked at the assailant, his and my eyes met exactly. The illusion on the other side opened its mouth, but it did not reach me, who had already released the magic.

So I pointed my hand towards the sea in a direction out of sight of the cadets. Then, I could see the confused look on the side of the teachers seated in the sea.

It would be surprising if they accurately pinpointed their position, which should not have been seen through illusion and stealth.

But the embarrassment was only for a moment. Maybe it’s because I saw her reaction change the moment I tipped off something about her to Lucia. Because it doesn’t help anyway.

“Kill the reaction. Are you going to advertise to the others that you have something?”

“But…!”

“But I’m going to sleep. Didn’t you forget?”

I only turned her head slightly back and glared at Lucia.

“This is a test, and a test is basically a competition.”

“Me? I, you told me.”

What is this guy talking about?

“It’s because you are on my side. It’s obvious that you’re going to join him anyway, but are you going to ride even then?”

“…Yes?”

“Make a clear distinction between public and private. Don’t make me forget the purpose. Work with clear indicators. That’s your role.”

It gets annoying when you go wild just to save people. This is also part of the test, and we need someone to make it clear that it is not an attack by someone unknown. It doesn’t matter if you think it feels like a kind of breakwater.

A person I can trust as much as I do, and no matter how suspicious I am, I can trust him once.

All you have to do is stop him from doing something wrong at the critical moment.

“Move with Lili. It seems that the other side has also decided on a policy.”

Boom!!

After saying that, I dodged the attack of the black man who came down in front of me in an instant.

With the skill [Focused on Combat], In the long stretch of time, I wrapped her shadow around her hand and made it into her gauntlet, and at the same time pushed Lucia back while responding to her fist again.

“Jang Shin-woo!!!”

“Do what you do.”

Kang!!

I didn’t expect fists and armor to collide. The other side didn’t change their complexion, but this side was desperately enduring the whining pain that went beyond the muscles and reached the back of the bone. I shouted without even looking at Lucia, who was still looking at me with a blank expression from behind.

“Go fast!!!”

“Ugh…!”

I confirmed Lucia’s movement at last through the crow hiding in her shadow.

I can’t say I believe it even if it’s a lie. The only thing I believe in is me.

But if a situation comes up in which I have to trust her anyway, if I still can’t believe her, I’ll tell you what I’ve seen of her, her reflections on the person named Lucia, her thoughts, her thoughts. Let’s judge based on the thinking of

From noble mtl dot com

If this is wrong, it is not that she failed because I believed in her, but that she made the wrong choice simply because I was not brought up.

Then I’ll take this opportunity to change my mind.

She thought it had led her to her side, but nothing changed about her reality. On the contrary, the more you know the secret, the more likely you are to become an annoying enemy.

I didn’t know if this would be poison or benefit, but it definitely became poison and came back to me. She can block my path, but she becomes a person of interest that I cannot easily exclude from my side.

As time goes by, that point will become more and more obvious and disturb me.

There is no such thing as easy. Also, life doesn’t go as planned. No matter how hard I try to design, those who surpass it will appear and harass me.

As a result of wasting my time and my emotions while rolling my head, I am very unsatisfied.

That’s why I decided to go beyond expectations. I thoroughly violate the plan that someone else has set up and move in the direction I want, as I feel like.

So what I am doing right now is nothing more than a waste of time.

Even in the middle of this ridiculous house play, time passes evenly, the strong remain strong, and someone on this planet gets stronger in real time.

I feel like I’m the only one who got out of that bondage, and I feel like the current situation where I have to feel nervous about such a thing.

True in many ways

“It’s like, really.”

If this test is a play, then they are learners. Cadets are spectators to be fooled. However, among those who thought they were audiences, a person who quickly revealed the tricks of the actors appeared.

For those who don’t want to finish the play yet, it would be best to exclude the audience before informing others about it or to involve them in the play itself.

And they decided to bring me in. Not even asking my doctor.

“It can’t be helped. All of this is to nurture talented people.”

“… Ha!”

I couldn’t help but laugh at those words.

Look at this. The strong always push. They don’t even consider what the underdog thinks, and they just forcibly force their thoughts and feelings about the cause.

It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s good or bad.

I just don’t like to f*ck with me. I just want to rest I just want you to turn your attention to me.

I hate this world where even simple things are impossible.

I hate myself for not being able to commit suicide even if I wanted to.

More than anything, I hate the god who arbitrarily reborn me into this world.

It is always up to the strong to force something.

That’s why I’m trying to be strong.

So don’t disturb me.

…Because I really want to kill them all.

After chewing and swallowing my thoughts several times, I let out a sigh, expressing my annoyance instead of murderous intent.

If my true intention is to get rid of everything, the act I just chewed and swallowed is incineration.

The annoyance and annoyance that pops up on my face right now must be the smoke that blooms as the fire in my heart called Thousand Dollars burns and melts the soggy emotions.

If there is a machine that detects the expression of emotions, it is said that my current state is only about 30% of the original inner heart.

If you send more than that, it will be like burning up all the connections you’ve spent a lot of time building. I didn’t do that because the aftermath would be more annoying.

As I desperately tried to suppress my emotions, my fierce desire to rest more became more desperate.

f*cking new bastard.

Quack! Put your nose in a dish full of water and die.
