6 – Practical Training (3)

In this unexpected situation, all the professors but me were completely surprised.

“Wait a minute. Is that correct?”

“Something about its movement is strange?”

“We never caught monsters that are this violent, did we?”

As the professors chatted, the monsters were surprisingly calm before they began to rampage. Now, that’s not to say they were completely docile, but it was unlikely that they would suddenly go berserk like this.

I spoke up, observing the scene unraveling before my eyes.

“We should act immediately.”

The professors stared at me, eyes wide.

– Master, what on earth have you been doing?

‘I wonder the same.’

Feeling the reality once more due to Elik’s words, I continued.

“The priority is to quickly rescue the students, regardless of any restraints, because uncertainties can arise.”

Elik, who had secured the position of the chief professor through connections, holds authority only second to the director. Hence, the professors began to act hurriedly upon hearing my command.

A perfect situation.

– Wow, master had a great strategy in mind.

The renowned spear jeered at me, who unlike the other professors, was leisurely observing the situation.

Based on just this, I can’t blame anyone for considering me trash, but in truth, I have a course of action to follow.

“Wait. I have my own business.”

Mmmhmm…

Ignoring Chukchang’s scepticism, I scrutinized the screen.

Soon, I spotted a monster which seemed a bit more intelligent.

“That guy should do it.”

Having thought so, I cast Poison Mind on the high orc shown on the screen.

Then…

-The… order… accepted. Kill…

His thoughts grazed my mind only for a moment.

However, perhaps because it was used on the character on the screen, the signal wasn’t quite clear.

‘Nonetheless, this should be enough.’

“Master? So, you figured it out?”

‘Yes.’

Judging by the orc’s thought, there seems to be a villain somewhere.

If not, there would be no reason for him to think he’s been commanded.

“So who’s the villain, Master?”

‘Isn’t it obvious? It’s got to be a demon.’

During the last round, I was too busy surviving to consider this, but it’s absurd for monsters to rampage on their own.

Is it reasonable for at least 100 beasts to rampage suddenly?

‘It’s clearly unnatural.’

“So what are you going to do, Master?”

‘What do you mean? We have to hit that demon.’

I’m not sure who would do such a thing, but it seems a righteous Chukchang needs some education.

“Let’s go for it then!”

“Smack!”

I smacked Chukchang and moved forward.

***

At the same time.

During that moment when the students were panicked due to the rampage of the monster.

– aaarghh!

There was a student who calmly purified the rampaging monster.

And it was none other than,

“Th-thank you, Saintess.”

“I’m still a candidate.”

It was Senna, who was likely to become a future saintess.

With a kind smile, she responded.

A student who received her help was taken aback when he saw her.

Afterwards.

-Groooooowl!

A Kobold rushed towards them, screaming loudly.

Senna, without hesitation, unleashed her sacred power at the Kobold.

Then the next moment.

-Groooooooooowl!!

It began to roll on the floor, consumed with golden flames.

Senna struck the Kobold with her wand.

-Splat! Splat!

Kobold’s blood splattered, its flesh was being torn apart.

The sight of the saint defeating the monster somehow gave off an air reminiscent of animal abuse.

Sena wiped off the kobold’s blood splattered on her face and spoke up.

“Phew. Anyway, this isn’t what we should be doing. Hurry to the building where the professors are. It’s protected by a barrier, so it should be safe.”

“But, what about you, Saint…?”

The student in front of her, glancing sneakily at Sena.

She didn’t know his name since he was a new student, but his expensive-looking jewelry clearly marked him as nobility.

‘All nobles are the same.’

The reason for asking such a question was too obvious.

Undoubtedly, they needed someone to act as a shield.

‘Nobles are such crafty beings.’

When she thought about it, Professor Elick seemed truly righteous and cool.

Back when she used to hide her feelings, appearing fine on the outside but feeling nothing, the only one who counseled her was none other than Elick.

At the time, she couldn’t feel anything as if everything around her was gray.

No feelings, pleasure, nor pain.

She just stubbornly did as the Cult of the Sun God commanded.

But the one who saved her from such a state was none other than Professor Elick.

Whenever they had a meeting, didn’t he earnestly discuss feelings?

Even about pleasure and pain.

‘He used to punish me, a poor student, with a green wooden stick.’

Thinking about the feeling of being hit by that stick made her face flush.

Simultaneously, a harsh breath escapes due to the excitement.

“Heh hah… Heh hah…”

“Sister?”

Have I been too engrossed?

She looks at me with a puzzled face.

Feeling awkward, Sena coughs purposelessly and speaks.

“Ahem. Anyway, I have something to do.”

“Is it not dangerous, Sister?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m a candidate for Sister. I can’t ignore someone in danger just because I might be in danger.”

“Ah, yes…”

“I’ll set up a barrier for you instead.”

Sena begins to cast a sacred barrier on the student in front of her.

The next moment—

-Whoong!

A barrier is spread around the student in sight.

‘It’s weak, probably due to the regression.’

It’s only a medium-level barrier, so it’s only natural.

Of course, before the regression, even a medium-level barrier from her would have been different.

Feeling disappointed inside, Sena opened her mouth.

“Then, you should go quickly before the duration ends.”

“Yes!”

With that, she runs off.

Sena briefly moves her gaze to the distant building.

‘I hope the professor will be okay?’

Unlike the previous bouts, my strength has improved significantly, so there’s no need to worry too much. If it’s the current professor, he should be able to take care of himself. Besides, we are inside a building, which is reasonably safe. I said, “I must head towards the cause of this event right away.” Since a threat was indirectly made to the professor, it should not be tolerated. We need to find and eliminate the root cause of this situation as soon as possible. Having gathered her thoughts, Sena moved her steps towards the perceived magical energy, exuding a dangerous aura.

Meanwhile, at that moment…

“Yes! This is exactly what I wanted to feel!” The world’s most excited javelin. I wonder how frustrated he must have been to act this excited. The owner says, “It’s because you keep torturing me, transforming me into a ring.” I thought to myself, ‘Would he do that if he didn’t want to?’ Otherwise, the heroines will be suspicious. With that thought, I smacked an approaching goblin with the javelin.

The next moment…

“Ahhhhh!!”

The goblin was twisting in agonizing pain. Soon, it started foaming and fainted right away. ‘Truly, anyone would think it’s dead.’

-“Would you have preferred to die, master?”

“Well, probably.”

I had experienced a pain I’d never before felt, so death might have been preferable.

At least death wouldn’t hold any pain.

-Poof!

I stabbed the goblin, who had fainted, with my spear and killed it.

-“As expected, the spear is equal to all. It pierces well.”

-“It isn’t exactly equal to the master, though!”

As the spear was casually switching handles,

-“I’ve received orders…to kill.”

The high orc that I had earlier seen on my screen came within my field of view.

Just by catching sight of it, that meant there had to be demons nearby.

As I was glancing around my surroundings,

-“I will…kill…”

The high orc, which had been chosen as the boss of this practice fight, swung a clumsy kitchen knife at me.

-Growl!

An uncanny speed, unlike its large physique.

Yet, that was all it was.

There were too many needless movements in its action.

I avoided the creature’s attack by ducking my head.

‘Aw, that was dangerous.’

-“Hmm? Master, why are you avoiding the attacks instead of blocking them?”

Jook Chang questioning this, naturally raised my curiosity as well.

If I had blocked the attacks, wouldn’t the orc have been writhing in agony due to Jook Chang’s curse?

But,

‘Look at that guy’s bulky body. There’s no way he’s going to die.’

– Ah, right. Your physical abilities have weakened too, haven’t they?

Yes.

It’s not just my magical strength that has decreased. My physical abilities have significantly weakened as well.

Therefore, I have no choice but to dodge his attacks and counteract.

I drove myself right under his nose and struck him with my spear.

The next moment,

-Bam!

The high orc got a direct hit to his face from the spear that treats everyone as equal.

At the same time,

-Squeal!

The high orc grabs his face shrieking like a slaughtered pig.

In front of a spear, everyone ultimately stands equal.

[It is puzzling how such a diabolical weapon like that was made?]

‘I hear even the dwarfs who made it find it strange.’

Agreeing with the author’s words, I once again stabbed with my spear.

-Bam!

-Please… kill me…

The high orc requesting to be killed after merely being hit twice.

“He really lacks tenacity, even more than usual.

‘If it was me, I would have continued to endure.’

-Master. But you’ve never been hit, have you?

‘There’s no real need to get hit!’

Thinking that, I approached this guy, to fulfill his wish.

Shortly thereafter, according to his wish.

-Whoosh!

I sent him off to America without any pain.

‘Well then, shall we go?’

I stepped forward slowly, bypassing the high oak.

A little while later.

“Hmm? A human?”

Soon, the demon who was the root of this whole incident came into view.

The same black horns affixed to his forehead like the Devil.

His appearance, though, looked no different from a human.

The only difference was the cowardly bat wings attached to his back.

While I was scanning the demon in front of my eyes.

“What? How did a human get through all those demons to get here?”

The demon asked with a furrowed brow, expressing confusion.

I responded to her question with another question.

“Rather, how did a demon infiltrate this place?”

“Well, I don’t know about that. Just tell me your name, human.”

“Isn’t it polite to introduce yourself first before asking for the other person’s name? Didn’t your superior teach you that?”

-“Look at the way the master talks.

There’s no reason to speak nicely to a demon who doesn’t even respect courtesy.

As I was about to make excuses on behalf of Lance’s words, the demon in front of me scowled and answered in a cold voice.

“Talking makes me feel bad, but well, if you’re asking for my name…”

“Shut up! I’m not interested! Taste the lance your superior received!”

In an instant, he cut off the demon’s words, rushing in with his lance.

-Wow! The master is cowardly!

At the same time, it felt like Lance’s tackle had come in, but it must be my illusion.
