34 – Seiji, Doll of the Apocalypse (7)

Dian called my opponent in a voice filled with mana.

“Daisy Van Bluemont.”

Then the atmosphere in the training hall began to noticeably become agitated.

“Wow, it’s amazing from the beginning.”

“Who will win? Of course the chief will win, right?”

“I don’t know. “Daisy, she’s also very famous.”

My mind was also agitated.

“Oh.”

Because, Daisy was one of my favorite heroine candidates in the game.

‘Good.’

As I got up and walked to the training ground, I remembered the image of Daisy I had seen through the monitor.

Light golden hair,

Jade-colored eyes that gave off a mysterious feeling,

Pure white skin and slender body lines.

And even the unexpected charm hidden in the uniform.

Although her beauty was something that men could not help but fall in love with, the biggest reason why I liked Daisy was because of her flashy harsh words and lively personality.

‘I had high self-esteem.’

Daisy is the heir of the Duke of Bluemont.

In addition, he possesses outstanding talent and skills, enough to be considered the best in his family. Both in the fields of swordsmanship and magic.

So, it was natural that Daisy had high self-esteem.

Maybe that’s why Daisy showed that she wasn’t intimidated by anyone in the game, and she also gave me a lot of fun with her refreshingly harsh remarks that weren’t typical of a duke’s daughter.

If we recall just a few of those vitriolic words.

Such harsh words to Fran who shows weakness.

-“It looks like a buttered squid, and it’s even silky.”

She even spewed such harsh words at Lily, who was her saint and her own lover.

-“If your crotch is itchy that much, stick a cigarette in your crotch. “Don’t be rude.”

‘What will they say to me?’

Honestly, I was looking forward to it. What kind of bold reaction will Daisy, who has touched my heart countless times, show to me?

“It’s been a long time.”

Is that why? I inadvertently let out my true feelings.

Daisy, who stood face to face in the training hall, showed a completely different appearance from what I expected.

“Hibb.”

Why is he like this?

“Professor Dian. hehehehe. Well, I’ll surrender. Hi.”

Why is this really happening?

****

“You bastards…”

It was difficult to control my anger. Even though I crush my lips until they bleed and grit my teeth, my body won’t stop shaking.

“Green, are you okay?”

Did I look funny like that? Ketil asks me with a worried expression.

“Shut up.”

Irritated, I responded harshly.

“Yes…”

Then, just like in her hometown, Ketil lowered her eyes like an idiot and answered softly.

It’s frustrating. I feel like we have no idea what kind of situation we are in right now.

“Wow…”

“The next hero candidate is definitely different…”

“Rose, she’s amazing too…”

This seems to be the same for the three of us who are from the same hometown, and we are even amazed at the sight of Yeonnom, who ignored us.

“···.”

The gaze is directed forward. You can see men and women swinging swords brilliantly in the training hall.

“Damn you bastard…”

The man is Fran, a candidate for the next hero. A guy who looks at me like he’s a bug, ignores me, and tries to suppress me.

Reminds me of the bullsh*t he said.

-“Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Ever since I was young, I’ve been listening to it until my ears were full of scabs. You have to win at all costs to survive. And surviving until the end is what makes you truly strong.

But what? Aren’t you embarrassed?

What kind of idiot are you talking about in this f*cked up world where the weak are eaten?

This is a guy who doesn’t know anything about the world. On that topic. Are you looking at me like a bug and trying to trample me?

-“They really live a miserable life.”

Camel, the red-haired girl who was fighting on equal terms with a guy who had no idea about the world, was whispering next to him.

They say they feel sorry for us.

“b*tch like a dog…”

When I think back on the emotions of that time, my anger rises uncontrollably.

What? Pity? What do you know, a nobleman?

Are you saying this only because you know how desperately we, the commoners of the frontier, have lived?

We have always been exposed to poverty and violence.

And survived.

In a barren and miserable environment with extremely rough mercenary bastards.

Not only did we survive, but we continued to rage and succeeded in entering Aden Academy here.

So, I shouldn’t have been treated like this. In particular, I, the best among them, should never be ignored.

I need to receive greater recognition than I received in my hometown, and show it off to those damn mercenary bastards. That we were this successful.

That’s why. The reason why I decided to grant a childish request from the son of a duke with a blank face.

Sage, you harassed that girl.

To thoroughly exploit whatever phase the guy is.

To borrow the prestige of the duke’s family, even if it means handling the dirty work for them.

Harassing someone wasn’t difficult because it was something I had always done.

No, honestly, it was difficult. Because it wasn’t enough to just close her eyes and be scared, the girl just responded by completely ignoring me.

But I did my best and was confident. Destroying someone was something I was more confident about than anything else.

-“Who am I?”

-“He’s better than you.”

As if it wasn’t enough to disturb me, the sound of the guy who so cruelly trampled on my pride rang in my ears.

My teeth are grinding.

I don’t think this anger will go away unless someone destroys it.

“Green.”

In the meantime, I hear a voice calling my name.

Yes. Let’s show it.

“The opponent is…”

Besides bullying with my mouth, how good am I at bullying others? How destructive and cruel it is. So how useful is it?

“Sage von Astrea.”

What?

****

Feline, who has been a close friend of mine since childhood, spoke to me with all her fuss.

“Wow, you really beat me like a dog. I really didn’t want to see that bastard, but seeing him get beaten makes me feel relieved. Is not it?”

“That’s right…”

But instead of responding, I had no choice but to reply helplessly. Let alone the terrible sparring unfolding in front of me, I just didn’t feel like it.

“Ha, Daisy. Are you okay?”

“Yes…”

I answered that way, but in fact it wasn’t like that.

“Don’t be so down. “He’s abnormal.”

Feline said that and glanced somewhere where the cadets were.

The head turns following that gaze. What you see is a man with jet-black hair.

Did he feel my gaze? He tries to look in my direction.

“Ugh…!”

I immediately lower my head in reflexive fear. I pinched her thigh and tried to raise her head again, but her head was stiff and wouldn’t move.

‘I’m scared…’

How did I, who was always so confident, end up like this?

Yes, when I think about it, it started from that time.

When I accidentally discovered a member of the Chaos Church and chased after him.

They were people who had an unusual energy even at first glance.

I realized it right away when I saw them. That I would never be able to handle those two on my own.

To be honest, I was scared, but even so, I secretly followed them.

If, even just for the slightest chance, we saw that they were trying to do something evil, we had to immediately ask others for help.

Even if it wasn’t, we shouldn’t have let them walk this land.

The place we arrived at after chasing them was a cliff located at the end of the ‘Unknown Forest’.

They were trying to enter the cave in the middle of the cliff through a secret passage, and after finding out their hideout and secret passage, I tried to turn around immediately to inform them.

But I couldn’t do that. Because I saw it. The sight of that man coming out of the cave and encountering members of the Chaos Church.

At that time, I had to put my foot down.

I felt like if I just watched, a man who looked about the same age as me would be killed by members of the Chaos Church.

I want to help right away, but my body is consumed by fear and I can’t move.

I said so. It was clearly like that.

-“Ah, you are members of the Chaos Church.”

The man said that without any expression and pulled out her sword.

The man’s movements were not visible, let alone followed.

All I could perceive was the acceleration magic that had been applied to her man’s body several times in an instant.

Is that all? Even though the man had blown off two people’s heads, he even calmly turned around with a nonchalant expression.

It was the first time.

A person’s neck rising into the air,

Crazy movements that were invisible to the eye,

And the cruelty and coldness on his face that does not change even after ending someone’s life.

This was all something I had seen for the first time, and it came as a huge shock to me.

There was only one feeling I felt at that moment.

Fear.

I couldn’t sleep due to that feeling and tried my best to forget the man’s appearance.

In the meantime, I brainwashed myself. Since I don’t know him anyway, I won’t see him again.

After that, things got a little better.

Only for a split second.

-“Camel.”

The man was a freshman like me, and she took her entrance exam on the same day.

And even though the being that that man summoned was an illusion, it was a terrifying being that caused many people to lose their minds.

What on earth was that being?

Anyway, I was sure at that time. That man is a fearful person that I can never cross.

So, don’t get close to them and avoid them.

But.

After all, that man was my sparring partner today.

And then I saw it.

-“Oh.”

The expression of a predator looking at me greedily and opening its mouth.

Is that all? She said, raising the corners of her mouth as if the man knew that I had been watching him that day.

-“It’s been a long time.”

I was so afraid of that sight that I immediately surrendered. She felt like she would suffer great retribution if she sparred with him.

Then.

-“I want to continue.”

She said as if the man would not miss her prey.

If only Professor Dian had not stopped him…

I don’t know what kind of hardships he might have put me through.

“Hibb.”

When I think about what happened earlier, I get the hiccups again.

****

When I arrived at the dormitory, I was throwing dog gum.

“Tweet.”

I really don’t know anymore. After picking up the dog gum, I wonder if the tweeter looking at me brightly as if asking me to throw it back is a dog or a bird.

“b*tch?”

“Tweet!”

It seemed like a pretty good compound word.

Tweet got angry and pecked at my hand like a bird that had just heard a curse word.

A dog.

I felt like teasing him for a moment because of his very cocky attitude, but I suddenly remembered how he fainted yesterday, and I felt weak and threw the dog gum away.

And then I think about the sparring class that took place today.

“It was quite fun.”

More than anything, it was a very fruitful time for me, who has a keen eye.

‘The standard was high.’

I don’t know why. Most of the main characters showed higher abilities than in the game.

The best among them was Fran. To be honest, I thought it would be good for Rose, who has become stronger than the original after receiving various lessons from me.

‘But Rose lost.’

In addition, several characters such as Seiji and Dyke showed abilities that were superior to those in the game.

I feel that way again. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t learned swordsmanship and magic from my teacher.

“Anyway, why on earth is Daisy like that?”

I doubt it. The appearance of Daisy I encountered at the training ground was very different from the appearance I saw in the game.

I’m not some kind of serial killer.

Why did Daisy make such an expression and give up on sparring?

-Knock knock

I’m contemplating it. A knocking sound was heard on the door.

Who is it? No, is there anyone who could come visit me?

With that in mind, I opened the door.

-Rattling

“Oh, hello?”

I was able to see a guy who was one of Green’s gang.

What was its name?

“Keto Top?”

“It’s Ketil.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. But your face…”

Why is this happening?

Looking closely, Ketil’s face was no different from mush.

As if someone had hit him hard.

“···I’m really, really sorry, but can you help me just this once?”

“What?”

“Well, please block the green. Boo, I’m asking you a favor. Please···.”

Ketil held onto the sleeves of my clothes with her tears streaming down her face, and then she got down on her knees and begged me.

From noble mtl dot com

It was absurd. Not only did he come to me with a completely messed up face, but he suddenly asked for help.

I don’t know what the situation was, but this guy wasn’t a good guy either, so he was about to refuse.

“Tell me more.”

I remembered something and immediately grabbed Ketil by the collar.
