Why do flamingos stand on one leg? They’d fall over if they lifted both.

King of Iron Mountain (1)

Permak’s office is on the 7th floor of the Freedom Building, where classes are held.

In this world where there are no elevators, the professor’s office located on the upper floors is getting a bad reputation, but as a technician, he seems to rather like it because it gives him exercise.

In this uncomfortable part of the subject that caught the subtle midline between high school and college as a concept, it follows the position of the university.

The only difference is that there is no acid in Merkava Academy to suck the spirit? Although there is a forest instead.

“Student Corinne Locke.”

“Yes, Professor.”

“·······.”

Permak stared intently at me. Do you want to ask outright?

“Are you sure you’re a 5th grade knight?”

Oh, don’t you ask You must be very curious

“Yes.”

“Even the person himself doesn’t know. Corrin’s skills are a bit flawed for a 5th grade knight.”

“I was pretty good.”

The reason why I was judged as level 5 was purely because I didn’t catch the demon in the level test.

I, who do not recognize the spirit, cannot catch the spirit unless it is conditional. That’s why you can’t even catch a level 5 ghost.

“Recently, the professors of the Faculty of Engineering gathered and discussed about students.”

hmm? Oh, sure. It’s probably because of the midterm match with Lunia Aden.

My strong plan was blown away because Lunia Arden did a splendid thing to show my skills.

“The bottom line is that Corinne needs a re-measurement.”

“I guess so.”

He briefly competed against the semi-special knight, Lunia Arden. It’s my decision, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s clear that I’m not at the level of a 5th grade knight.

At least level 2 or higher. But it won’t be level 1.

Level 1 requires achievements and recommendations.

From level 1 guardians, the authority and official support to read the secrets of the Guardian Association covering all continents are given.

Among the 1st and 2nd graders, there are typically Marie and Hwaran as first-class named names.

In the case of Marie, she is a formal guardian who has accumulated thorough results. Hwaran is a ‘temporary grade for students’ without real rights.

A case with no performance like me would be a semi-first class even if it was maxed out.

“Student Corinne will be given some missions. Through this, we will re-measure Corinne’s grade.”

“Oh~ What is the maximum allowable level?”

“Junior 1st grade.”

“The professors of the Faculty of Engineering have come out quite unconventionally.”

“I have something to show you.”

There’s nothing wrong with going up in rank. First of all, you pay a lot of money and you are free to choose missions. Because I can choose the high-level missions I want.

If you’re a player, it’s also a privilege that can only be unlocked when you’re in the second year.

“Okay. I accept the re-rating. What can I do?”

“It’s the second level of a quasi-level 1 monster and demon mission. Of course, it’s a solo mission.”

It’s tough. I don’t know anything else, but the fact that the demon is involved is also a variable.

“What is the subjugation of demons and demons like?”

The higher the level of demons, the stricter the screening standards.

Usually, a semi-1st class should be able to hunt alone when it is around the 1st class.

Starting from level 1, they are party hunting, and they play the role of bosses in quite a few dungeons and events.

Two of them in the semi-first class. In other words, I’m going to catch it by myself without any help.

“Currently, there are 4 semi-1st class subjugation missions that can be received from the Guardian Association. There are both demons and demons just right.”

In other words, you have to clear one in each field.

“Can I have a look?”

“Here it is.”

At my words, Permak handed me a bunch of papers.

Hmmm, just familiar faces.

A semi-1st rank monster is a headless rider, a twin-headed ogre characterized by a durahan and two heads… A twin-headed ogre is a rank 1 monster even at a minimum, but considering that it is a semi-1st rank, it may not be an adult.

The quasi-1st-level demons that are the problem… Oh~ Did this come up already?

“I chose.”

“······So fast? I think I should be more careful.”

“Well, either way is equally dangerous. Who’s watching the overseer?”

“Old Man Harman and the association’s staff will follow you. We won’t help unless it’s a really dangerous moment, so you should be prepared.”

If it’s that inspiration, I can trust it. Perhaps it was Old Man Harmon who strongly insisted that I should be re-measured. Fair one is awesome.

“Do I have to do this right away?”

“Of course. It’s because we have to quickly get rid of subjugation at level 1 or higher.”

In other words, it is difficult to come up with an opportunity to re-measure if it is not now.

‘······This is a bit risky.’

intention is felt. All in all, this is the timing. Wise.

“Then, please. When should we start?”

“The departure is tomorrow morning. Of course, Corinne’s other classes and assignments will be waived.”

“If it’s Instructor Harmon, it wouldn’t be strange to leave at dawn. Then I’ll prepare it.”

Leaving Permak behind, he leaves the professor’s office. In the end, until the end, Permak didn’t ask me questions.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Neither favor nor hostility, but thoroughly indifference.

He is a quick-witted and quick-witted guy.

* * * *

“A state, semi-level 1 test?”

“yes.”

“It’s a big deal! Corinne’s first-class test!”

Marie makes a fuss when she hears that she needs to do a re-grading test right away.

Shall she follow as an examiner! He calmed her down by dissuading her from making plans.

“Senior, I can’t follow you anyway. It’s still the surveillance period.”

“ah······.”

Marie, who had awakened as a vampire, was basically not allowed to leave the city.

Like the Netherlands, it is allowed to the city. It is impossible to go outside the city at all.

Of course, this will be solved soon. Eriu Kasar, the head of the board, is negotiating with the Mage Tower, the Protestant Church, and the Kingdom, and the results will come out soon.

Catholicism may be a bit noisy, but the fall of Catholicism, which enforces outdated religious views, is progressing slowly.

At least he doesn’t have enough speaking power to silence the Merkava Academy, which is backed by Protestantism and the kingdom’s support.

The problem is the magic tower, but these guys start to work in earnest after the 4th act. But as much as the variable called Marie Dunaref has occurred, we can’t be careless.

“Umm… I see. Sorry… It’s an important test, but I can’t help you.”

Marie, who is sullen. I grabbed Marie’s shoulder and made a sincere request.

“Senpai, while I’m gone, you have something to do.”

The key cards have been gathered. All that remains now is a battle over how long my cards are.

From this point on, it will be the beginning that determines the phase of the main scenario.

“How far can you trust me?”

“······!”

It is clear that Marie was also slightly heated, showing a nervous expression. He must have read my sincere gaze and realized the importance of this conversation.

“What does that mean?”

“Marie-senpai, how far can you trust me… Corinne Locke?”

“believe!”

Marie grabbed my shoulder with a very serious expression. We’ve become a strange posture of holding each other’s shoulders, but it’s not important.

“I believe it when Corinne makes kimchi with potatoes!”

“······You can make kimchi with potatoes.”

“I’ll believe you!”

“No, really. I mix potatoes with young radish kimchi.”

“Yes! Trust me!”

It’s true. Haven’t you tried potato kimchi?

“Anyway… if you believe in me, how far can you stay with me?”

From noble mtl dot com

“together!!?”

i have to ask To Marie Dunareff, who will walk on a different fate due to my choices and get caught up in another storm.

Will you be with me for her peaceful future?

“To the end! Yes! To the very end! Heck! Did this go too far?!”

As if she had noticed my intentions, Marie declared that she would be with me without the slightest hesitation.

– sniff!

This man… No, this oppa isn’t the type to be easily moved, but this is a bit bright.

“To believe that much… After all, there’s only seniors.”

“Huh? Am I the only one?”

Also a good kid. He fights because he is overflowing with pride. Now that Marie has been recruited, there are only two important members, including Arisha.

“I have a plan. My plan can’t be without Marie-senpai.”

“That, Gurukuna?! I can’t fall for Corinne’s plan!”

of course. Among my acquaintances, Marie is the only one who can confidently enter and intervene in the ‘experiment building’.

“I’ll explain the plan from now on. Senpai, together with Arisha from tomorrow…”

“Corin.”

“yes?”

For a moment, Marie’s voice grew cold. The cold girl’s expression stared at me as if questioning.

“It’s me and Corinne’s plan. Why is the other girl with me?”

“······yes?”

* * * *

A rare foggy morning. I packed my backpack and arrived at the alumni gate.

“You’ve arrived just in time, Corinne Locke.”

When I arrived at the alumni gate, what was waiting for me was Old Man Harmon, wearing a crisp shirt and showing off his muscular body. I’m dressed similarly, so I’m not in a position to tell others.

“Good morning… that’s a bit gloomy to say, Instructor Harmon.”

“What, this much. When I was young, I marched toward the monsters’ nest in the fog.”

“If you tell me a story of a heroic feat on the way, I won’t be hostile to you.”

“Hmph! There’s nothing I can’t tell you about when I was in the West.”

Old Man Harmon liked to recount his own exploits, as do older people of his age.

Surprisingly, it’s not a bad dance story to listen to because it’s interesting and well-spoken. If you listen well, you will feel good about it.

It was like that in the previous episode as well, but I got a pretty good grade as a listener.

“Rather than that… where’s the first game?”

“Nice eyes. Yes, hunter’s eyes. I like them.”

As was the case in the previous episode, I seem to be a human figure that Old Man Harman likes quite a bit. Come to think of it, Old Man Harmon was reluctant to join Park Sihoo for unknown reasons.

It seems that this knight of reversal has some kind of intuition that cannot be explained by logic.

“The first prey is a twin-headed ogre, a semi-1st level monster found in the mountains west of the city. It’s slow, but it’s quite threatening.”

“I chose, but aren’t twin-headed ogres usually 1st class?

“This guy is not an adult. So it’s only natural that his rating drops.”

As monsters and demons also grow, this evaluation is quite right.

“I’ll have to tidy this up when you’re at your level. I heard that you raise a few hounds, including a long hound.”

“I think it means don’t think about breaking through head-on.”

“Of course! Guardians need more than just strength. Instructor I will evaluate all of you.”

It seems that he is seriously overrated for the match against Lunia. but······.

“It’s worth it.”

“That’s why it’s like the article I recommended.”

Old Man Harman urged me on my way as if he had no intention of delaying any longer. As I was quickly leaving the school gate, he suddenly caught my eye on the nape of my neck.

“You have a scar on the nape of your neck. You look tired.”

“Ah~ It’s no big deal. It’ll be all better by the time we get there.”

It’s a wound from Marie’s bite. It’s because he made her vamp to the limit to give her blood.

When I vampirized yesterday, I felt like I was bitten more painfully than usual. Is it because of my mood?

“Hehe, being too healthy is a problem, but don’t lead an excessively promiscuous life.”

“······yes?”

It seems that something was misunderstood, but Old Man Harman passed it off as ‘youth’. That’s great.

“Would you like some beet juice? Good for blood circulation.”

* * * *

Marie had a hard time sleeping at night, but she dutifully woke up as usual.

Leaving behind the gruesome scene of the blanket that has been kicked and crumpled several times, I start taking a shower in the morning.

Corinne must have left by now, right?

“Ugh… it makes people misunderstand…”

Although she is having an eventful youth, becoming a veteran guardian and even a super vampire, she is also a girl in her prime.

Corinne Locke’s misleading choice of words was enough to shake the girl’s image.

‘But… it’s bigger than I thought.’

The boy always does.

Being on the scene before something happens. Planned and responded.

Even when he saves himself, when he helps Arisha Arden… It’s not that I’m not grateful for the boy’s dedicated activities, but I can’t help but question it.

What the hell does this boy know, and how far does he know?

To be a novice knight who entered as a 5th grade knight, he knew too much and was too strong.

‘Perhaps digging into it would be inconsiderate, right?’

Still, if Corin didn’t say it herself, Marie wouldn’t bother digging into it.

I’ll tell you someday if need be. However, wanting to become a ‘special person’ who trusts and tells everything is an unavoidable area of emotion.

‘hmm! But the reason I entrusted you with this job is because Corinne trusts me! Let’s think positively!’

Omens are good. Perhaps you are the one who will ask for this help without any cost. Let’s focus on that.

The girl who had just realized love had a ‘hogu-like’ view of love, but she couldn’t help it.

What if Marie melted in front of Corinne like butter on a grill?

It was inevitable that the one who first realized and conscious of love would lose.

-smart!

– Come in.

Professor’s office of the Faculty of Magic in the Experiment Building. The owner of room 606 greeted her.

“Hello, Professor Dana.”

“Oh, isn’t it Marie? What are you here for?”

“I want to volunteer for Professor Dana’s experiment!”

Again, a girl in love is quite blind.

To the extent that he willingly accepts the request of a one-sided guy to jump into a fire pit with rice straw on his back.
