6 – I’m Groot(2)

United Academy.

As you can see the name, it is an academy built for the alliance.

The warriors who saved the world from crisis participated as construction planners and professors, and it is an academy full of so-called ‘roots’.

As time has passed, various educational institutions have been established in each country, but none are as preeminent as United Academy.

However, it is time that even the gods cannot win, and the academy built for the alliance has gradually deteriorated.

As peace lasted for a long time, political elements began to appear, and as a result, competition became stronger than unity.

As the competitive spirit intensified, the awkward atmosphere increased somewhat, and in severe cases, it spread to conflicts between countries.

Fortunately, I thought it was not in the middle, so I saw a meeting with the academy saying not to do that, but that kind of atmosphere is prevalent.

Academy has few people who can be called friends in the true sense of the word. A long time has passed, and the significance of the academy’s establishment has long been diluted.

Nevertheless, United Academy stands tall as the continent’s premier educational institution. No one could deny this.

Of course, since it is a very old academy, there were big and small problems. That there is a dense forest nearby.

If it was an ordinary forest, it would have been suitable for research and education purposes. However, it is a problem to set the old warriors as a ‘standard’.

It means dangerous. At the beginning of the forest, only weak monsters appear, but the moment you go deep into it, it changes 180 degrees.

It is normal for the compass not to listen due to magical power being twisted here and there, and powerful monsters appear frequently.

The academy was not unaware of this fact, so it installed a dedicated compass and milestone to prevent accidents.

However, every year there have been occasional students who enter the forest unknowingly and go missing.

The academy is not responsible for this case. I warned you, but it was you who went inside.

In addition, the academy also designated the name of the forest because of this characteristic.

To the ‘Forest of Chaos’, a forest from which you cannot escape once you enter.

“Shouldn’t I have only brought forget-me-nots…”

And there was a woman who was brave enough to set foot in this forest. She looked around her with a worried expression.

Blonde hair neatly tied in a ponytail and blue eyes shining like jewels. At first glance, he looks blunt, but his face contains innocence.

The overall body was slender, but that didn’t mean it didn’t have curves. The charm a woman should have is great.

Finally, in her right hand, a normal-sized sword was firmly gripped.

Unlike the sword, the outfit was light, like going out for a walk, and it gave off a sense of leisure.

“Kreureung.”

“Oh.”

A wolf appeared in front of her while she was strolling through the forest.

A wolf so skinny that his ribs were exposed, probably because he was kicked out of the pack. It is a common wolf in the forest.

The woman reacted calmly even when the wolf threatened her with sharp fangs. It’s a bit annoying.

“Kuong!”

The wolf, which had noticed, rushed at a high speed. The woman looked at the wolf with a nonchalant expression and twisted her body slightly.

A woman who naturally evaded the wolf’s attack. But she didn’t just dodge.

Suddenly!

The sword moved smoothly and completely separated the wolf’s waist.

The upper and lower limbs of the separated wolf were split in half before even setting foot on the ground.

Steel Puck-

When the waist split, the intestines spilled out. At the same time, sticky blood begins to leak out.

The woman looked at the scene for a moment before moving her steps. His expression is as calm as before.

“Only the sword gets dirty.”

Chack!

She roughly brushed off her bloodstained sword. After you get the herbs you want, you’ll have to polish your sword.

‘How much did Eli save?’

Suddenly, I remembered the person I had entered this forest with. She, like herself, is an enrolled student.

Most of the necessary items are supported by the academy, but more than that must be purchased separately.

It means you need money.

For nobles, money is not a problem. However, if you are a commoner, money is a little tight.

Especially, herbs and the like are filthy expensive, so it’s much better to dig them yourself. Since he grew up in the countryside, he is keen on herbs.

Ellie also knew herbalism to some extent, so she scattered. Instead, unlike herself, she is a non-combatant.

‘I need to get some before it gets dark.’

She lifted her head up. She has a lot of free time now that she finished eating her breakfast and entered the forest.

However, the forest of chaos is famous for never coming out once you get lost. Of course, I made enough preparations to prevent disappearance.

In the first place, you need permission from the academy to enter the forest of chaos. The moment you enter without permission, it is a penalty point.

‘I’m sure no one enters without permission just because they’re crazy.’

Even he, who is sensitive to her magic, couldn’t control her properly. Even the wolf from earlier was able to keep his sword from getting bloody.

Just like the name of the Forest of Chaos, it feels like magic is twisting here and there. Because of this, it was very difficult to control.

It’s a shame because it’s not deep, but it can be difficult if strong monsters appear.

Although she is worried about Ellie, who is a non-combat worker and travels alone, she can take care of herself.

She’s so weak that even a hungry wolf can’t kill her, but she can at least make the wolf run away.

This is when she is moving her steps at her ease.

[Kwoaaa!]

A roar that roared through the forest filled my ears. A fairly close distance.

She stopped her feet for a moment. The direction the sound came from was deep in the forest of chaos.

A place where the academy officials have been told to never enter. If the request was not enough, he also gave me supplies to prepare for.

‘I can’t go in. Why go in?’

She turned her back neatly. Judging by the roar, there is a high probability that she is a monster that she cannot handle.

It’s hard to control my magic power, but I don’t want to get changed by going in for nothing. Bravery and courage are completely different.

[Kyaaa!]

“······Ellie?”

But she couldn’t help but open her eyes wide when she heard the screams that followed.

I’ve heard that voice before. Elida, a freshman who entered the forest with her.

I don’t know why she went deep into the forest, ignoring her warnings. Just move your legs quickly.

I hoped it wouldn’t be too late. He’s someone you could call a friend in the bleak academy.

‘Please. Please. Please.’

She prayed fervently in her heart. You can reprimand her later for why she went deep into the forest.

I quickly made my way through a forest densely surrounded by bushes and trees. She took a special compass out of her mid-pocket and checked her direction.

How long has it been? At some point, she was able to reach a place where the space was widened.

The next thing you can see is…

“Ah, ah…”

A woman with light brown hair who fell on the floor and shivered.

“Kwoaaa!”

Manky, a gorilla monster that was about to strike down with its huge arms raised, came into sight.

He is well over 5m tall and has a size that suits him. It looks similar to an ogre, but the difference is the presence or absence of fur.

“Not…!”

The late arrival woman hurriedly stretched out her hand. But she was too late.

A mankey that strikes down an iron fist like a log. The woman below it will soon be muddy and meet her death.

In a situation where time seemed to pass slowly, there was nothing I could do.

I only wait for death to unfold before my eyes. I thought it would definitely be like that.

At that thought, the brown-haired woman also closed her eyes tightly.

Boom!

“······Kreuk?!”

“······· Ah?”

Until a man suddenly appeared and blocked the giant ape’s fist with his arm.

Everyone was taken aback by the man who appeared at lightning speed without warning. He didn’t even feel anything.

“······· Huh?”

Meanwhile, the brown-haired woman who had closed her eyes and accepted her death slowly opened her eyes.

She opened her eyes to reveal pale golden eyes. Inside the gold, the man’s broad back was reflected like a mirror.

A man holding Mankey’s log-like arms with both arms. He is definitely not the kind of prince who would appear in a fairy tale.

Because the prince won’t come wearing only a mat that barely covers his lower body.

I don’t know if it’s a pervert.

Booung-

In the meantime, the man pushed the giant monkey’s attack away with force.

A monkey’s arm that bounces up so easily even though it would have an overwhelming difference in weight class.

The man squeezed inside while the monkey’s arm was raised.

Then, holding the stone ax in his left hand with both hands, he swung it hard.

Towards the thick legs rather than the wide belly.

Crackling!

The crude stone ax struck right in the shin. At the same time, the sound of bones being shattered echoed.

It ended with the bone being shattered by hitting it with a stone axe, not a sword.

However, bones are essential for supporting the body. It was impossible to hold on as the bones were neatly shattered.

So it was only natural for Mankey’s shins to bend in an unbreakable direction.

Awesome!

“Kuaaa!!”

The pain of the bone being split in half, and the monkey screamed as the shin was bent at 90 degrees in the aftermath.

Unlike the roar from before, it was a scream full of pain. Even so, he supported himself with his long arms so as not to fall.

But that time hastened Mankey’s end. The man who passed between Manky’s legs grabbed Manky’s back.

As if the man wouldn’t even give him time to make a fuss, he rode up on Manky’s big back.

Then he hit the top of his head with a stone axe.

Awesome!

All animals, including humans, have their heads as their weakness. Same goes for Mankey.

Manky trembled with his mouth open as the man’s stone ax passed through his skull and turned into a mush of his brain.

Soon, it couldn’t even fight properly, and its huge body slowly collapsed.

Cow!

Because he is so big, the ground shakes a little when he collapses. This is the futile end of Mankey, who once reigned as a predator in other areas.

The man did not catch his breath even after defeating a high-level monster. On the contrary, he is staring at him to see if he died properly.

“Ellie! Are you okay?!”

“Uh, uh uh? Uh… It’s okay.”

When the situation was over, the yellow-haired female prosecutor hurriedly approached Ellie. Ellie still looks bewildered as she can’t figure out her situation.

Her female prosecutor wiped her chest after she figured out if Ellie was hurt. She almost lost a precious relationship in vain.

“Ellie, step back.”

“Oh, huh? Oh, okay.”

But she shouldn’t be caught off guard just yet. The female prosecutor pulled Ellie back for a moment and put her on alert.

The man who just in time confirmed Manky’s death also turned his back on them. The female prosecutor took a closer look at the man.

Black hair grown shaggy enough to cover her eyes. Beard down to her chest

The thing that stands out among them is her body full of scars against her white skin.

It’s a body that seems to have been sculpted by a craftsman with great care, but there are too many scars.

Scars from claws, as well as scars from animal bites, burn marks, and crush marks.

The feeling of intimidation is no joke as he is holding a stone ax with blood and brain fragments in his left hand.

Even the costume barely covered the lower half of the body, so it seemed to reveal the ‘wild’ itself.

‘······Barbarians?’

Suddenly, I remembered the savages included among the new students. A savage with red hair and tanned skin.

But the savages at least belong to their own ‘civilization’. It wasn’t a wild raw thing like the man in front of me.

What the hell is this man, why is he here?

This is a place deep in the forest of chaos. Once you enter, you cannot get out unless you have a special item.

‘······So survivors?’

There is a possibility that he may be one of the missing persons who were said to have gone missing in the past. Still can’t be relieved

I don’t know if those savages, no, wild people will be friendly to them, or if they’ll hit them with a stone ax like the mankey I just did.

“Who are you?”

“··· ···”

The man remained silent in response to the female prosecutor’s question. I can’t even read his expression because his bangs cover his eyes.

At this, the female swordsman hesitated and stepped back, ready to draw her sword at any time.

If that man ever threatens you, he’ll have to react right away.

“I’m Luna Estelle. This is Ellie. What’s your name?”

Another silent reply. This will only make your vigilance stronger.

A female swordsman who introduced himself as Luna Estel was about to draw his sword, but the man who had been silent like a high priest finally opened his mouth.

“······f*cking?”

f*ck it. It was the first word I had ever heard in a language I had never heard of.

“Sivar? Is that your name?”

“f*ck.”

The same answer came out. It seemed that the name was Shibal (…).

But it didn’t take long before I realized that it wasn’t a name.

“What were you doing here?”

“f*ck.”

“······· Huh?”

Luna’s expression turned strange when the man repeatedly replied, “f*ck.” Ellie behind her was similar.

“Isn’t that person… Unable to speak?”

As if responding to the words of Ellie, who stood behind Luna.

“f*ck…”

The man answered.

The nuance is that he himself is also frustrated.

*****

“f*ck.”

f*ck Niimi.

“f*ck.”

My regret is that I have a speech impediment after living alone.

“f*ck the f*ck.”

But why are you listening to everything over there?!

“f*ck…”

It is certain that God is behind.

[You have blasphemed God! Faith declines!]

f*ck you.
