73 – Episode 15. Booster Battle, Skirmish.

<0>

Booster Battle.

This is the name of the episode that decorates the end of the second semester of The Legend of Academia.

The item itself called a booster is constantly mentioned from the beginning of the game.

It is also the first thing ‘teacher’ pursues after the formation of the Special Division.

However, the pursuit of the special department is a failure, and the harvest is not obtained in the first semester.

As a result, from the 2nd semester, most of the enemies with abilities appear with boosters.

And only then did the board of directors of Academia realize the seriousness of the situation.

With the active cooperation of the board of directors, we succeeded in finding and eliminating Astray’s alter ego. Succeed in blocking the supply of booster raw materials.

After that, right before the full-scale subjugation begins, the Zetas family moves quickly.

Most members of the Zetas family are dropouts who failed to follow the academia system.

Their resentment that has accumulated over a long period of time finally goes to the top of the academia.

However, no matter how large it is, it is still a mere violent group.

It is impossible to attack the leadership of Academia, which was created with full support from all over the world.

In the end, the advance was blocked, but even that was within the expected range of Los Zetas.

The Silent Los Zetas are finally moving.

And from then on, the true meaning of battle begins.

A battle over the future of Academia.

“But there is something ironic about it.”

While moving to the designated spot, Chaehee Rin frowned and opened her mouth.

“What?”

“To move while leaving traces like this. It’s like saying, ‘Catch me’ and moving.”

Hearing Chae Hee-rin’s words, Baek So-so made a worried expression.

“Isn’t that dangerous?”

“Well, there is no other way. I have no choice but to move as the teacher said. But… , Somehow, I feel like I’m playing with the other person’s intentions.”

As Chae Heerin said.

I can’t say it’s playful, but it’s true that it moves according to the enemy’s intention.

In the end, the executive is just a bait, and in order to fundamentally solve this case, you need to find the boss, Ross.

The original scenario of Legend of Academia proceeds in a similar way.

It is the same that violence is happening all over Academia as it is now.

Of course, compared to the love affair, this current commotion is nothing more than a child’s play.

There is a reason why I tried to stop the distribution of boosters in the beginning, even if it was overdoing it.

But in the end, it ended up being a similar development.

After all, even if the circumstances are different, is it because the key person is the same?

Or is it the world’s deterrence that often appears as a creation?

Well, these things are not important right now.

“Guys, this is the destination soon.”

Now is the time to wake up.

“By the way, Mr. Si-hyeok, is it really okay with the strategy I mentioned earlier?”

“Uh. Fine with that.”

“… Then, if Si-hyeok gets hurt.”

“You entered the special department with preparedness for that. Let’s think of heroes who fight hard against Irregulars in the field.”

Suisei nodded his head with a serious face at my words.

The Kasuga family is a family that plays the role of a shield protecting humanity’s forefront.

If you bring up the story of the field, you will be stimulated.

“Hey, Sihyuk Lee.”

After Suisei, Chae Heerin also called my name.

“Why?”

“Ugh…… “

But when I turn my head, he immediately averts my gaze.

“Chae Heerin?”

“… It’s okay. Just focus on the operation.”

“What, he talked to me first.”

“Focus on the strategy!”

Chae Hee Rin screamed as her face blushed.

She is a pretty consistent and hysterical woman.

Well, that side is like Chae Hee-rin.

Leaving behind Chae Hee-rin, who quietly sighed, I tapped the shoulder of Baek So-so, who was walking in front of her.

“Why, senior?”

“No, I thought it was okay.”

When I said that, Bai Xiaoso narrowed her eyes.

It’s as if she’s saying ‘That’s that again?’ With her face.

“Didn’t you see what we organized all at once yesterday? I am no longer the cowardly white cow of before.”

“… Well then, it’s fortunate, but there was a sudden change of heart.”

“I am always working hard even where my seniors are not looking…. Well, it was the consultation with her teacher that was decisive.”

Consultation.

As a mere student, I know only a part of the special department run by Joo Joo-young.

In the end, it is Ju Ji-young, not me, who manages and encourages the students of the special department.

Even where I don’t know, she must be communicating with the students.

“That’s it.”

As I said that, I put her hand on Baek So-so’s shoulder.

“Anyway, take care of yourself.”

“So, that’s what I said?”

“… Let me get in shape.”

“Seniors don’t look good when they say things like that.”

And soon after, we arrived at our destination.

The back of the building, a place with few people.

I see a person putting a black bag under the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

The moment we saw that back, we all immediately prepared for battle.

It was because we were all old friends with ‘that guy’.

“… It’s faster than you think.”

When he noticed us, he scratched his head with a troubled look on his face.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have rushed a little. Because I’m a bit lazy.”

Paulo said that with a chuckle, but none of us responded to the clumsy joke.

“I’m sorry, but can I just drink a can of Coke? I’m kind of thirsty-“

“Paulo.”

“… Alright, Lee Si-hyuk.”

Muttered Paulo as he set the load off his shoulders.

“You mean talk nonsense in moderation, right? Ugh, everyone is so serious that they fall for it.”

Paulo’s whole body is covered with black metal in an instant.

Anyway, it looked like it would move with all its might from the start.

“Then let’s try it!”

<2>

Ross gave two orders to the three executives.

1. Distribute manufactured boosters to as many locations as possible.

2. If there is a pursuer, try to pass the time by escaping as much as possible.

For Paulo to go straight into battle, strictly speaking, disobeyed the boss’ order.

But he had his own excuses.

The important thing is not to ‘run away’ but to ‘kill the time’.

“If I annihilate you guys!”

Paulo shouted, kicking the floor.

“Even the pursuer disappears!”

Chang!

A sharp sound of metal colliding with metal was heard.

The sound of Suisei’s black sword blocking Paulo’s attack.

“It’s been a while, baby of edelweiss-.”

Paulo’s words did not follow through.

Because the flames rose up in Paulo’s face.

The moment I felt the heat, I immediately pulled my body back, so there was no damage.

‘… That ability is annoying.’

Paulo’s eyes glanced at Chae Hee-rin.

Even though the skin has turned to metal, the muscles and bones inside are intact.

If heat penetrates inside, damage cannot be avoided.

Then the first thing you need to deal with is-

After a brief decision, Paulo’s body bounces off the wall like a spring.

It was the speed I showed once at the last booster factory.

An attack like a lance charging in which Nicola sacrificed herself to barely protect Lee Si-hyeok.

The sharp tip of the spear is aimed at Chae Hee-rin’s body this time!

“Ha!”

However, the trajectory of the attack that rushed toward Chae Hee-rin was strangely reversed in an instant.

“What?”

Paulo made a dumb noise as he looked at the silver-haired girl who jumped in front of him.

Quack!

The wall of the building that received Paulo’s attack instead of Chae Hee-rin collapsed with an explosion.

‘What was it just now?’

Amid the thick dust, Paulo recalled the strange sensation he had just felt.

It wasn’t something that was blocked from the front.

Only the direction of the attack was strangely twisted.

‘Are you off guard?’

No.

Paulo moved with all his might.

It was different from the last time when I was moderately fighting against Chae Hee-rin and Suisei.

“Are you doing Chinese martial arts or something?”

“… By the way.”

Baekso slowly measures the distance while answering Paulo’s words.

Looking at such a white cow, Paulo was amazed.

‘Did they say it was a special department?’

I never thought that a kid who only looked like a middle school student had such fighting skills.

“Awesome! By the way-!”

Paulo swung his fist, closing the distance at once.

The place where the fist is directed is just below the right rib, where the organs are gathered.

Paulo had no intention of looking after his hands just because he was a middle school student.

However, due to the movement of Baeksoso’s arm, which moved like magic, the fist lost its direction and cut through the air.

“Gap-!”

Baek So-so shouted and stretched out his hands.

Paulo prepared for the next attack without even thinking about avoiding it.

“After all, no damage is the same!”

No matter how mysteriously you use an attack, it means nothing if you can’t damage the enemy.

Paulo was not damaged by Suisei’s sharp sword.

Can’t the fists of this little girl, who is only a junior high school student, work on her-

“Whoops?”

“The martial art that inflicts damage on an opponent wearing armor is-“

The name Baeksoso uses is non-yeonryu.

A one-man martial art that stood out on the battlefield against the Irregular.

Baek So-so’s hand fell all the way back, then lunged forward again.

It is impossible for Paulo, whose posture has already collapsed, to dodge that attack.

“-There are plenty of them!”

The sound of burning air mixed with Baek So-so’s fists.

The electric fist strikes Paulo’s abdomen!

Paulo, who was pushed back by the attack, staggered his body as if he had been electrocuted.

It was Baeksoso who was trying to take a step forward to finish, but-.

“Stop it, Baeksoso!”

I couldn’t continue the attack at the sound of Lee Si-hyeok’s shout.

And the next moment, a sharp thorn appeared in front of Baeksoso’s nose.

Baek So-so felt goosebumps rising on his back and widened the distance behind him.

“You are very quick-witted. It was an opportunity to send one.”

“… I know you well.”

“What is it, Sihyuk Lee? Do you want to be friends with me?”

Paulo giggles and wipes the blood off his mouth.

The second attack was successful, but it was Paulo who suffered this amount of damage with the first attack alone.

‘… There are two of them.’

There are two opponents who can damage Paulo.

This means that the usual fighting methods, including overwhelming defense, cannot be used.

‘I’ll have to change my method.’

Paulo slammed his foot down, closing his distance.

Then he saw the same thorns that he had been aiming for at the hundred cows, rising obliquely from the floor.

“You won’t be able to beat this like before!”

An attack that purely expresses abilities, not taijutsu using Paulo’s body.

There is no room for Baek Suso’s martial arts to use the opponent’s power flow.

Fire-!

The white flame that rose up in a pure white light melted the thorn in an instant.

To be precise, only the thorns that were directed at Lee Si-hyeok and Chae Hee-rin.

For Chae Heerin now, handling high-temperature flames that can melt metal at once is her limit.

As for the attack on the other two, the parties have to avoid it somehow-

“Baeksoso!”

Chae Hee-rin exclaimed in an urgent voice.

New thorns were rushing in from the blind spots of Baeksoso, who was avoiding the dragon attack.

“Kyaaa!”

As Chae Hee-rin anticipates her upcoming tragedy, she screams shrilly.

However, Paulo’s thorns did not pierce the white cow’s body.

“… Whiyu.”

Paulo whistled in surprise.

It was none other than Suisei who cut off Paulo’s thorn.

“Can you bell? Last time, you couldn’t even get a scratch.”

“… Quit the small talk.”

Suisei opened his mouth as he stretched out his dark sword with a chilly air towards Paulo.

A cold, frozen voice that doesn’t feel the usual kindness at all.

“Be serious, cheating”

“It’s kind of embarrassing to say that.”

However, Paulo opened his mouth with a giggle despite Suisei’s warning.

Lee Si-hyeok, who was watching the situation from the back of the battlefield, swallowed his saliva.

Paulo doesn’t use boosters.

However, compared to the other two executives, the setting was overwhelmingly strong.

Until now, it was just a skirmish.

From now on, it’s real.

“We just-.”

Paulo adjusts his posture.

“- I just survived hard!”
