Episode 67 – Cracks (1)

One month passed in an instant.

To the extent that I can be confident that I have grown considerably through hard training.

As I stare at my shadow while lying on the bed, the shadow wriggles.

With a slight gesture, the shape of the shadow changed and it protruded upward as a sharp thorn.

Then, in that state, he began to wriggle and dance.

She got [Shadow Control] From Kania while she was in the labyrinth.

At first, she had no idea how to handle it, but she asked Kania for special training.

Even if it was a special training, he only spat out abstract words that I couldn’t understand what he was talking about.

It’s a little unfair that I was sucked in a lot of blood after hearing a few words that were hard to understand….

But thanks to that, I was able to get some sense.

If you flick your fingers and turn them around, the shadow thorns will bend and scatter, then become a small tornado and spin around like a top.

Once I got the hang of it, I grew up quickly after that.

If you get used to it a little more, you might be able to use it in real life.

Even though shadow control has many good features, life has become more convenient.

The most important thing is…….

You can turn off the light by moving only your shadow while lying on the bed!!!

Secondly, I can use my shadow as a subspace.

So, thinking of the possibility of not being able to use my subspace bracelet, I put emergency food and a sword that was provided free of charge by the academy overflowing with rotting money.

But this part is not very important…….

Another achievement would be Dina’s sword skill.

Through repeated attempts for a long time, I found the right ratio to combine mana and blood, and as I got used to combining the two, the speed at which I drew out Dina’s sword skill became much faster.

Maybe it’s because it’s more stable than before, and the power has improved considerably.

However, I ran into some difficulties….

A sword skill that is temporarily called dark blood sword.

It is a method of combining dark swordsmanship and blood.

Tried this several times and it’s much better than before…….

It is still not usable in practice.

It still tends to explode if you get distracted even a little bit, and it takes time to put it together.

Dark Swordsmanship is not my skill, it is a power engraved in an artifact, so some things are more difficult to handle.

The next challenge is holy power.

I have no idea at all.

Am I really a paladin in the first place?

“You drank a lot of kimchi soup.”

Honestly, it’s cool.

A paladin who fights against the devil with a hero and a saint!

The sword radiates the sword energy of the dazzling stars and slices the demons!

Finally, normal swordsmanship, blood swordsmanship, dark swordsmanship, plus the combined version of Dina swordsmanship, dark blood swordsmanship, and even the star swordsmanship!

A swordsman with a whopping 6 types of swordsmanship!

Imagine. There are six swords floating in the air, each covered with blue, red, black, purple, dark red, and gold swords.

Then, you control those six swords freely to slaughter your enemies mercilessly!

“Ah, I really turned my brain into delusions.”

I was going to ask Stia to teach me how to use star mana…….

“Because he’s the main character of [Akanak Castle], He’s really busy.”

He disappears somewhere other than when he really takes classes.

To be honest, I feel a little fortunate about that part.

‘I asked proudly, but what if I’m not a paladin?’

I will surely die without overcoming embarrassment.

Finally, there is one big problem.

I got up from lying face down on the bed and sat on the edge.

When I put my elbows on my knees and put my hands together, I felt that the atmosphere became more serious even though I was alone.

“… Why aren’t you coming?”

The time has surely come. No, rather it has passed.

The first boss that should have invaded the academy a long time ago.

The siblings of Letricia say she can’t see a single strand of her hair… !

Where else did you get twisted? What have I done?

After escaping from the labyrinth in the first place, I didn’t do anything and just trained hard by myself.

There is no reason why Letricia and the ‘nameless monster’, who are each boss, won’t attack… ….

My legs are trembling as if I am anxious.

Calm down, my leg… Everything will be fine soon…….

But there was no sign of calming down, so I just turned my consciousness elsewhere.

… But really, why aren’t you coming?

At first glance, you might think it’s good that the boss doesn’t attack because there are no victims and there are fewer dangerous things, but in reality it’s the opposite.

The thing I possessed is in a book called [Oeyeongdoe], But if you go deeper, there is a fictional game called [Akanak Castle].

Since the basic foundation is a game, it is important to accumulate experience points!

In an RPG game where leveling up is essential, can you skip all the bosses and attack the final boss?

Impossible unless you write a bug.

The reason is, of course, that the level is lacking.

If it’s a boss, of course, it gives you the experience points and rewards that are appropriate for the difficulty level.

Good weapons and armor, good skills.

Since it’s difficult to attack with such things, it’s called the final boss, and it’s called the Demon King.

In this world I live in, judging from my experience, you don’t gain experience just by killing enemies.

You literally get experience points by experiencing battles.

So, I must have been able to grow through training using illusion artifacts.

‘It will be easier later on if Letricia siblings come in… ….’

Whether it’s Dina or Stia, you have to fight against them and grow further.

It’s late, but I’d like you to come in now…….

When I looked out the window before I knew it, the sky had turned dark.

Tomorrow is the weekend.

“Now I have to earn some money… ….”

Some money is in the bank account right now, and even if it’s not, the more money the better.

Since I am a student at [Astell Academy], I can go on low-difficulty rift subjugation missions.

But it’s not possible to blindly go somewhere and ask to be let in, so I rummaged through my cell phone to see if there were any suitable cracks around.

Luckily, there was a message that a new rift was opening near Star City, so I made a reservation before it was taken away by others.

According to the inspection results, it is a crack with an easy difficulty level of about D grade.

It’s not that dangerous, so don’t worry, and if it’s D-class, the profit will be pretty good.

Even if it becomes dangerous, it will be okay as there are people who go in with you.

Rift subjugation missions are carried out in a minimum party unit, except for special cases.

Maybe it’s because it’s a D-level rift, so there’s only one party, and even that party is made up of 4 people.

Looking at the entry time, it seemed that I was entering at 9:00 am tomorrow, so I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

… Maybe it’s my first crack, so I’m a little excited.

*

Wake up time is 8:00.

It tends to happen neither fast nor slow.

As soon as I wake up, I roughly rinse my face with water, and my pretty good-looking face is reflected in the mirror.

Glad I possessed a handsome body!

I put on the school uniform that was lying haphazardly on the floor after turning it around.

Perhaps it was an academy uniform, so even though it had been crumpled and rolled on the floor all night, not a speck of dust was visible, and it was as clean as new.

It might seem a little strange to wear a school uniform when you’re not going to an academy, but you’re going to a crack…….

Artifacts as good as this are not common, so I can’t help it.

If you want to go out of Star City, you must first get out of town.

It’s cumbersome, but it can’t be helped because it’s a process that any academy student must go through before going out.

When you come back in, you have to show your pass to come in comfortably.

Probably to prevent someone sneaking in.

While sighing, I ran to the teacher’s office to get the pass, and applied for the pass….

“… Scarlett?”

For some reason, Scarlett came to the office and our eyes met.

“Why are you here?”

“To get rid of the travel permit… ….”

He rubbed his eyes with a sleepy face as if he had just woken up and replied.

Then he slowly asked in a subdued voice.

“You…… ?”

For a moment, I flinched a little at the unusually husky voice, but she pretended not to be taken aback and replied.

“… I’m also going to get a pass.”

“I see… ….”

And then the conversation between the two stopped abruptly.

Scarlett yawned as if she was still sleepy.

I had nothing to do while I was out of town, so I replayed Scarlett’s husky voice, which was surprisingly pleasant to listen to, in her brain.

… It was a voice that would have hit the jackpot if he had done something like ASMR YouTube.

When should I make a proposal? I will be a subscriber

After waiting for about 5 minutes, the teacher, who had walked somewhere, brought an outing card with each person’s information written on it.

Scarlett, who was handed the pass with me, said with her eyes still closed, “Thank you ah…… “She murmured, and she left first.

I also slightly bowed my head to the teacher who had cut off her pass, and followed Scarlett out of the office.

As soon as she stepped out of the teachers’ room, a cool sensation unique to the hallway enveloped her body, giving her goose bumps.

“…… ?”

Then I saw Scarlett standing still in the middle of the hallway.

“What are you doing?”

I wondered why she was standing there so I asked, and Scarlett turned around in surprise and opened her eyes wide.

“Huh? Why are you here?”

… Didn’t you ask before?

“… To break the pass.”

“I see… ….”

It feels strange to have a conversation again that seems like we’ve just had it.

Perhaps, like me, he was awakened by the cool sensation in the hallway and was distraught.

… So, you couldn’t believe you were just sleeping while talking… ?
