32 – The Path of Thieves

Today is finally the first day of the Thieves Department. A lot of things have happened in the meantime, but basically the background of the ‘Legend Route’ is the academy.

“Oh, today is finally my first day of class. ! I couldn’t sleep at all last night because I was so nervous. !”

Professor Raina, who usually wears thick dark circles like makeup, appeared with more vivid dark circles than usual. It is clear that he is much more nervous than usual. It’s like watching an elementary school student who couldn’t sleep at night because of a picnic.

“Wow! I was worried that classes would not be held in that old department building, but fortunately, they are held in a proper training center.”

Ellie looked around and said. The place where we are now is the spearmanship practice training center.

“There is no proper place for practical training in our department building… ! First of all, I made a suggestion above, but I don’t know if a new training ground will be installed… !”

“Good job~!”

Ellie strokes Professor Raina’s tousled hair.

Looking at it this way, I don’t know who is a student and who is a teacher. Professor Ellie who fearlessly puts her hand on her head is amazing, and Professor Raina who accepts Ellie’s touch like a charming cat is also amazing. Come to think of it, the chemistry between the two was great in the original work as well.

“Today’s lesson is to find out what skills you actually have. !”

Professor Reina spread her hands wide. She spreads her hands wide as if to confirm that she is unarmed.

“Attack me 10 minutes from now clothes… ! You can use any skill, and any weapon is fine… !”

Professor Reina who declared that she would become a punching bag for 10 minutes.

Ellie was taken aback by the professor’s words.

“Is it really okay? Aren’t you fighting back!?”

“Of course the clothes… ! Don’t worry and do the best attack you can… ! That way, I can make a more accurate judgment. !”

Izumi Reina is a professor at the academy. Her outward appearance is less than that, but her actual skills are the best among her academy professors. After all, she’s on par with Professor Flora.

“I will go with all my heart.”

Sierra says her fighting spirit in her eyes. She seems to have a glimpse of the middle boss Sierra in the original story. It seems that the combative nature inherent in her mind has started for the first time in a long time. These traits will help Sierra grow, so it’s a very positive change.

“Then, please come… !”

Eli moved as soon as she finished speaking. Unlike Ellie’s gleeful smile on her face, her spirit was as sharp as a knife sharpened on her whetstone. Its movements were too swift.

The distance of about 3 meters that existed between Professor Raina and Ellie disappears in an instant. Ellie delivered her fist with 100 percent of her sincerity as Professor Reina ordered.

“Fist shot~!”

[Level 2]: Attacks the opponent with a quick punch forward. Attack speed increases in proportion to agility, and when strength is 30 or higher, 10% armor penetration effect.

Power : 6 + (Strength * 1)

Ellie’s attack is a fist shot. It’s a D-class skill, and it’s a fairly common skill in the legend route. If the children of wealthy families learn skills in self-defense, most would say that they learn this.

It’s a D rank skill and it’s a very common skill, so I can’t say it’s a good skill even with empty words. The fact that the rank is low basically means that the ability or potential of the skill is low, and that a common skill is widely known, so there is a high possibility that it will be destroyed.

No matter how much I raised my stats, there was no way that kind of attack would work against Professor Reina.

Professor Reina, as I thought, lightly attacked. Ellie’s attack is nullified by slightly bending her head.

“Ellie! Be careful!”

Then Sierra attacks.

“Shuriken Burst!”

[Level 2]: Attacks the opponent by throwing a shuriken made of mana towards the front. The speed of the commendation is proportional to the agility. Power increases by 10% when attacking from a location out of the opponent’s line of sight.

Power: Power of equipped shuriken + (Luck * 2)

Shhh!

Five black commendations are headed towards Professor Reina. It is a series of attacks that follow right after Ellie’s attack ends. The sound of the shuriken scratching the air was like the cry of a poultry. The ferocious spirit and terrifying speed of the shuriken are also like a hawk aiming for prey.

“Shadow Chain.”

I, too, did not let go of my hands. Sierra’s shuriken targets Professor Reina from left to right. Conversely, the shadow chain I created aimed at the professor from right to left. Me and Sierra’s attacks crossed in an X shape and attacked the professor. You’re so mecha kucha

“After… ! It’s a good skill. Clothes… !”

Professor Reina, who evaluates our technology like that.

However, the professor let go of Sierra’s attack just by slightly bending her waist. My chain, which has lost its target, deflects Sierra’s shuriken.

“Awesome~! Seriously, you are a professor!”

Ellie casually pierces the heart.

It’s not because it’s natural. As much as she is the daughter of a merchant, Ellie is a staunch realist. He probably thinks that this kind of joke is acceptable for Professor Reina.

As Ellie thought, Professor Reina proudly spread her shoulders and replied as if she had heard her praise.

“Of course clothes!”

Our attack is not over. Professor Reina passed our pass with a leisurely movement, like sipping her coffee, but Ellie, far from disappointed, looked excited. Sierra, too, was not surprised by her opponent’s skill or felt wallowed, but burned her will to fight.

“Battle Spirit!”

[Level 3]: Increases strength and agility for a certain period of time while strengthening the will to fight. Also increases the power of all skills with strength and agility coefficients by 10%. When the buff ends, all stats decrease by the amount of increase in strength and agility. Debuff duration is the same as buff duration.

Buff Level: +3, Buff Duration: 5 minutes, Cooldown: 24 hours

The skill Ellie used next was Battle Spirit, one of the most cost-effective skills. It is a skill that raises important stats for close combat, such as strength and agility, for a short period of time. It is a skill that is essential to learn when riding a warrior-type job tree such as a swordsman, a swordsman, or a spearman.

“I’ll be back! Fist shot~!”

Ellie’s fighting style was close combat, reminiscent of her fighting dog. My guess is that strength and agility are at least 10, higher in the academy.

“You don’t have to tell me the clothes… ! It’s an unnecessary habit in real life…!”

Eli attacked Professor Reina with tenacious and fighting movements like a fighting dog, but Eli’s fists never touched her professor’s body. Occasionally, my shadow chain and Sierra’s shuriken joined in, but it was still the same result.

“John. I mean the professor…. You haven’t moved one step so far, have you?”

Sierra asks me with a face as hard as a glass mask. I nodded her head.

“Yes. It was there from the beginning.”

“Ugh… ! I didn’t expect to hit the attack, but I didn’t expect it to be like that. Am I weak… ?”

That’s not true. If you evaluate Sierra’s ability objectively, it is in the upper middle of the academy. It’s a little too high to be called perfect, but it’s well above average.

「Empress of Twilight」 (Class A)

[Increases the growth of dagger, shuriken, and shuriken-type skills by 100%, and reduces the cost of using skills by 10%. Also, Dark attribute attack power increases by 5%, and Dark attribute resistance increases by 10%.]

The 「Trait」 Of Sierra is 「Empress of Twilight」

It’s an A-class growth trait. In fact, Sierra is stronger than ever before. She’s Sierra, who was in trouble because of the street thugs when she first met me. Now, her back alley thugs could be defeated single-handedly.

“hehehe… ! hehehe… ! Surrender!!!”

Ellie collapsed from exhaustion before the first 10 minutes the professor spoke. It seems that Battle Spirit’s buff time is over.

“I definitely checked your skills. Clothes… ! Well, I’ll start with a simple critique of clothes… !”

The professor gathered us.

“First of all, student Ellie. The basics weren’t bad, clothes… ! And, it’s worth living with a high fighting spirit… ! Probably it will be that I did not neglect training until now… !”

“Ha ha! It’s embarrassing, but it is! The virtue my father emphasized as the mascot of Janet’s guild was diligence!”

“However, I am too obsessed with clothes… ! For example, judging the failure of an attack and withdrawing is too slow… ! It’s a loophole that’s easily found by people with a strong struggle. Clothes… ! If this was a real battle, Ellie would have died 47 times. !”

“Eh, forty-seven times! How much will the insurance pay if you die that many!?”

“Next is the Sierra student. Sierra students, on the other hand, are overly cautious in their attacks. ! When I throw my skills, I’m too conscious of attacking from my blind spot… ! Probably because the skill has an additional effect… ?”

“Yes. Attacking from a blind spot increases the power by 10%.”

“It’s good to aim for a blind spot, but if you obsess over it and miss a good chance, you’ll be in trouble… ! I deliberately exposed my gaps to Sierra students 13 times… ! However, the Sierra student couldn’t aim for that… !”

“Thirteen times….”

“Don’t be too disappointed with the clothes… ! It’s a habit that can be easily broken…. Finally, student John….!”

Professor Reina turned her gaze to me. Her bold professor’s face was very cute as always.

“Student John… “

“Oh my God. Who is this? Isn’t that the thief department?”

An overbearing voice cut off Professor Reina.

“What will the thieves department do to our spearmanship training center?”
