I Became a National Level Barrier Magician

Discharge came quickly. My body was fine without the slightest injury, and even my spirit, which had died once after fighting Hela in Helheim, was fine.

Of course, no one but me knows that I encountered Hela in Helheim.

They don’t know why he lost consciousness while holding the blue-white orb or what happened while he was unconscious.

Because I didn’t say it. The reason I didn’t say anything was simple. This is because Hela’s purpose was very deeply related to Ragnarok.

Ragnarok is a catastrophe that will one day be revealed publicly, but at least now is not the time to reveal it to the world.

And now.

“Cheers!”

It’s 5 PM on Saturday, and the dungeon strategy practice has already ended.

Now that all the cadets have returned to Eden because the 3rd week schedule is over, Eden is filled with the enthusiasm and joy of the cadets who have successfully taken their first step toward becoming a hunter while telling their own stories.

Jang-!

The glass clashed with the glass, and a few drops of the alcohol contained in it spilled out.

This is the 4th banquet hall. The main banquet hall used during the entrance welcome party was generally difficult for cadets to use, so they moved to the 4th banquet hall, which was relatively easy to obtain permission to use.

Excluding the grand banquet hall, the banquet halls from banquet hall 1 to banquet hall 8 can be used as long as you receive permission to use them.

At first glance, you might think that the facilities of the banquet halls other than the main banquet hall are not that good, but the banquet halls that cadets can use after receiving permission in advance are also excellent facilities.

“1st place is 14 groups captured on the same day, 2nd place is 2 groups targeted on the same day… Hey, look at the record.”

“The attack period was a week, but you cleared it in one day and came back.”

All first-year cadets, including the first-year and second classes to which I belong, gathered in one place.

Not everyone had gathered, but looking at the crowd, it seemed clear that at least the majority had gathered.

The reason why so many people gathered in a rented banquet hall was simple.

“At that time, I quickly jump out and hit the guy running over the tanker’s head! And I just slit his throat!”

“I heard that tank saved you when you almost got hit while running in?”

A banquet to celebrate the fact that we had a hard time conquering the dungeon for a week and that we had done our first proper activity as Eden’s cadets dreaming of a future field.

If I were to define it in one word, it would be an after party.

‘Because I like this kind of atmosphere. It is said that you are free to participate and to return halfway. ‘You can eat and drink as much as you want, so there’s no reason not to participate.’

Unlike the entrance reception where all kinds of high-end wines and elegant food were served, the food and alcohol displayed on the banquet hall table now is relatively cheap and only from restaurants in the residential area.

But no one complained.

All of the food I bought from the restaurant was all delicious, even though there may be likes and dislikes depending on individual tastes.

Even the types of food prepared in that way were very diverse, so ‘there will be at least one of these that will suit your taste.’ I can almost feel the same intention.

Like food, there were quite a variety of alcohol and the quality was good, but it felt like it existed to get drunk and liven up the mood rather than to enjoy the taste and aroma.

‘Of course, I don’t enjoy the bitter taste of alcohol.’

Occasionally, I saw people enjoying alcohol or cigarettes, saying that they consumed less than life, but to me, the bitter taste of alcohol and the thick smoke of cigarettes were not that attractive.

Nevertheless, the reason I am currently enjoying the after-party with alcohol is because I am making and drinking cocktails with ingredients I have obtained from various places.

‘As expected, this suits my taste the best.’

This cocktail is often drunk because it is easy to make and tastes sweet for an alcoholic beverage.

Kahlua milk is made by mixing Kahlua, a coffee-based liqueur, with milk to your liking.

Let’s enjoy the sweet coffee scent of Kahlua milk with the grilled skewers brought on a plate as a snack along with the milk.

“I heard the news from Ms. Yuhwa. I heard you collapsed in the dungeon. Are you feeling okay?”

“Ah, Miss Seria.”

Ceria Alfheim, wearing rare civilian clothes, approached me.

Not only are we not in the same class, but we haven’t had much interaction since we exchanged contact information, so I’m still a bit of a burden.

However, from her perspective, I was not that much of a burden, so Ceria Alfheim naturally narrowed the distance and approached me, examining my body.

“I heard that you just woke up. Is it okay for you to drink alcohol already?”

After going through a dangerous situation where I fell unconscious during a dungeon strategy practice, and not long after waking up, I guess the sight of me enjoying drinking didn’t look very good.

I tried to avoid the gaze of Ceria Alfheim, who was looking at me with concern in her half-closed eyes.

I know very well that there is nothing wrong with my body, but I thought that my current actions might seem crazy to her who doesn’t know that fact.

‘I woke up after lying unconscious in the infirmary for almost five days.’

Imagine if your friend suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed in a dangerous place where a moment’s carelessness could kill him, and after waking up without moving a single thing, he went to a banquet and enjoyed himself, slurping down drinks and snacks like a dog.

Even if you go crazy and jump up and down and grab your collar to see if you are sane, there will be no one to stop you from doing so.

“I’m fine. I know my physical condition best, and more than anything, Professor Bella said there was no special problem.”

Still, I was quite surprised by the fact that while I was spending time in Hela and Helheim, about five days had passed in real life.

I thought it was only a short period of time, about a few hours at most, but I couldn’t believe that I had been lying there like a corpse for several days, let alone a few hours.

After I moderately appeased Seria Alfheim and sent her back, a large crowd of people began to flock to me as if this was just the beginning.

I saw Cheon Yu-hwa, who was a personal friend of the 14 group members who had conquered the dungeon with me, but most of them were faces I didn’t remember.

Why did cadets I had never met come straight towards me?

When I asked why… .

“I heard from Hermod that he overwhelmingly pushed down high-ranking dungeon masters?”

“With those skills, you’re really not a senior?”

“I heard that the reason they were able to quickly conquer the swamp dungeon was because you created a foundation with the barrier.”

Names that appear without fail, and views that are suspiciously favorable to me.

‘Hehe, this bastard.’

Hermod was in the dungeon, beating up the bad guys.

Hermod’s aggro, which had been building up by spreading rumors since Wednesday, when the cadets began to return in earnest, became the result of a build-up that had been building up for almost three days and was exploding in succession.

However, when I actually listened to it, it was all true, and there were testimonies from group 14 cadets who greatly benefited from my help, so it became difficult to just pass it off as a tall tale.

‘Maybe they should have just tied him up in the dungeon.’

I missed Hermod, who quietly kept his mouth shut during the dungeon raid.

The dungeon strategy practice after-party that started at 5 p.m. did not end until 4 a.m. the next day.

The party was like a mad rush that lasted for 11 hours.

They were probably the world’s best hunter candidates, but like superhumans, they had stamina and drinking capacity that were difficult for ordinary people to understand.

However, that ultimately collapsed in the face of the heat of the banquet that lasted for 11 hours.

The majority of the cadets have returned, and those who remained drunk until the very end are already crawling on the ground, unable to come to their senses.

This was the end of the after-party, which was a mix of ordinary and unusual scenes, such as bragging about their talents or having a light sparring session between interested cadets.

‘… Maybe it’s because I’ve been sleeping for five days straight, but my head is still fine.’

As I was sipping a drink from a glass while looking at the fallen cadets, Cheon Yu-hwa, who had been tasting food and drinks alone, approached me.

We made eye contact and exchanged greetings from time to time, but she also attracted a lot of attention as she was framed as the top student, so we didn’t have much time to talk or talk together.

Now, as if she were a heroine who had wiped out all the enemy troops, she had easily stepped over the bodies of the drunken cadets who had collapsed, and for a moment she stared at the glass in my hand.

“Your drinking capacity is good. Do you still drink that much?”

“… Is this cider?”

There is no way I could have survived this long while drinking.

Even though Kahlua milk is not a high-alcohol drink, if you drink it continuously for several hours, you will inevitably get drunk.

However, after hearing my answer, Cheon Yu-hwa looked at me with a somewhat dumbfounded expression, and then burst out laughing.

Ah ha! It was a typical woman’s laugh, but it was a pleasure to listen to, perhaps thanks to Cheon Yu-hwa’s beautiful voice.

‘But, aren’t you drunk?’

There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from her body, but Cheon Yu-hwa herself did not have the typical aura of a drunk person.

Come to think of it, Seria Alfheim, who was tasting wine and cheese on the other side, looked particularly fine.

It is said that I started pretending to pour cider into a soju glass and endured it from the beginning, but Seria Alfheim and Cheon Yu-hwa just drank different types in turns. I continued drinking.

‘What is it really?’

Did you notice my doubts? Cheon Yu-hwa pounded the outside of his chest with his fist and opened his mouth proudly.

“I don’t know if it’s because I have good physical ability, but even if I drink a lot, I don’t get that drunk.”

Ah, it’s just that his physical strength was excellent and his liver detoxification ability was also high.

When I naturally nodded my head in understanding, this time my gaze jumped towards Seria Alfheim.

If Cheon Yu-hwa simply had a high drinking capacity and liver function, then how on earth did Seria Alfheim survive the intoxication?

The answer was given by Cheon Yu-hwa, who was facing me instead of Seria Alfheim, who was still enjoying cheese and wine.

“Whenever the odor reaches its limit and the film is about to break. They say it was detoxified using medical magic detoxification techniques?”

“Wow.”

There was a way like that.

I was struck by a method of drinking that the minds of 21st-century earthlings without magical powers could not even imagine.

I, who used to fake soju glasses to avoid getting drunk, ended up becoming an ordinary person who was just not good at medical magic.

Time passed, the after-party ended, and everyone except a few cadets collapsed from hangovers on Sunday morning.

A text message sent from Eden was sent to the cadets who were having a hard time recovering their lost thoughts.

A cadet who was frowning and squirming in bed, a cadet preparing food to eat hangovers, and even a cadet who was just enjoying a Sunday morning break.

They were spending Sunday morning in their own way, but as soon as they saw the notification on their smartphone, they even forgot the pain of their hangover and opened their eyes wide.

「Information on the mid-term evaluation of the first semester of the first year.」

From now on, the hangover bubbling inside wasn’t important.

In educational institutions, tests always come after assignments or performance evaluations.
