“Do whatever you want, you son of a bitch.”

Omega is taken aback by the audible provocation. He doesn’t even feel angry.

The corners of my mouth twitched because I just found the sight of him struggling so funny.

‘I don’t know how many times I’ve seen someone swear in front of me.’

Surprisingly, the guy isn’t crazy with fear.

The fact that his eyes are alive. The fact that his mind is sane.

They stimulate Omega’s bad habits.

When I see something upright, I seethe with sadistic malice, wanting to break it.

I feel relieved when I see those people being crushed and bending their own beliefs with their own mouths.

Hex is a hobby that is said to be avoided as much as possible because it is not efficient, but I have no intention of giving up the privilege of the strong.

“Hehehe··· Little one. Your future is determined by this body right now.”

“This is bullshit.”

Rohan kicked the floor and ran towards Omega.

He quickly passes by Ichinose and Noah, who are unable to move and are repeatedly vomiting.

Hurrruk!

Flames shot out from the longsword.

[Two swords – Dawn falls]

Flames surged up like waves crashing against rocks, engulfing Omega.

But the taste is the worst. Rohan, who swung the sword, can tell.

‘The days aren’t going well.’

My wrist is numb. It feels like it will break if I don’t use even a little bit of force.

Still, I don’t hesitate.

Swing again.

[One Sword – Flame Cut]

The sword path was blocked by Omega’s thick neck.

The sight of the mangled face and the mechanical jaw moving as it laughs is creepy.

“What can you do with such a weak sword and flame?”

“···.”

Rohan knows that his actions have led to a fight.

You have to make sure that Omega doesn’t turn his attention away from you.

You have to make yourself want to be tormented, you have to make yourself tormented.

Don’t let him get the idea that you’re sending samples to Hex with the worms waiting behind you.

‘Me too. I shouldn’t look at my friends. I just have to run at them like crazy to make the picture look right.’

There is no need to win by force.

When the protagonist gets here, his victory is over and his role is over.

‘The instructor will definitely come.’

I believe that if he’s the lead actor, he’ll definitely arrive on time.

That’s the kind of person he is.

He is a person you cannot help but respect.

‘So my role is···!’

Even if everything burns down to a handful of ashes.

Maximize the golden time to avoid delays in the main character’s arrival.

Kaang──!!!

The standard longsword shattered with a loud crash. The blade halves flew off in a whirlwind.

Still, Rohan swung his sword.

“I’m starting to get bored.”

Omega stood still and took Rohan’s swordsmanship.

He opened his mouth, complaining at the sight of him struggling and sweating profusely.

“Ae-song-ah. Do you know that? Among poisons, there are some that are particularly painful.”

“Ugh!”

Rohan did not answer and continued his attack.

Even if it’s only half a sword, it’s still a weapon.

“Some of the poisons are so bad that even narcotic painkillers can’t help. They don’t kill you, but they make you think it would be better to die.”

One of Omega’s fingers turned into a thick raccoon.

Anyone who looks at it can tell that it is an attitude of wanting to inject such poison.

“Hold on. I trust you won’t start asking for your life or death in a few seconds.”

Hex is a poison that has had additional processing applied to it according to his own request.

It causes unbearable pain, and in Omega’s experience, there is nothing better for torture.

Even those with the most noble intentions would give up their resolve in the face of this poison.

Chomp!

Omega’s octopus legs caught Rohan.

The broken sword fell to the dirt floor with a thud!

“Okay, it’s time to take your medicine. Would you like to beg for help even now?”

Omega met her eyes with a smirk, but quickly had to wipe the smile away.

“Idiot.”

Because there was absolutely no fear in Rohan’s eyes.

At this point, I start to suspect that he is a madman by nature.

“···That’s funny. I hope you keep that cocky attitude up for a long time.”

The fox’s sharp teeth opened like pincers and bit Rohan on the back of his neck.

Rohan’s eyes widened at the sensation of liquid seeping into him.

“Ro, Rohan!”

“Ugh! Damn it, move···!”

Ichinose and Noah are writhing on the floor.

No matter how hard he tried to move, the poison had already entered Rohan’s body.

“!!!”

Instant-acting drug.

The poison takes effect as soon as it is administered.

Rohan’s teeth grind down with a cracking sound as if they were about to break.

As I strained my whole body to endure the pain, the blood vessels in my eyes burst.

Every time I breathe, it feels like my lungs are being torn apart.

“Hahahaha!!! How does it feel? Try making noise like before.”

“Ugh···!”

The octopus leg threw Rohan to the floor.

I can’t stand up. I’m lying face down and writhing.

I can’t move as I want because of the pain that feels like my whole body is being torn apart and burned.

I’m sure that even if you put a knife in my gut and stir it, it wouldn’t do anything worse than this.

“Hehehe, baby. Do you want the antidote?”

“Ugh···! Ugh, sob···!”

Not knowing how long it will take for the pain to subside.

It’s a surefire way to aggravate fear.

“If you want to be liberated, show your attitude.”

Rohan raised his head and showed bloodshot eyes.

He slowly opens his mouth, sweat dripping down his face.

He conveys his voice clearly to Omega, who is focused with anticipation.

“Fuck··· s**t···.”

A word that came out of Rohan’s mouth with difficulty.

Omega’s expression hardened at the words that were completely different from what he had expected.

“···It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a fun guy.”

Even though it seems unreliable, it’s as if he knows that if he lies, it will satisfy him.

Never bend your attitude.

Looking at Rohan, who was drooling on the floor but still maintaining his sanity.

Omega recalled the conversation he had with Hex.

─ Omega. This poison is a compound extracted from the immune system of monsters.

─ What does that mean?

─ It was modified so that you only feel pain as requested. Without touching the blood clotting or synapses···.

─ Stop. Keep it simple.

─ Ha… It’s a poison that causes pain much stronger than the burning pain that burns your whole body. Got it? It’s strong enough to cause shock even to a body enhanced by magic power, but there’s no death due to the effects of the poison.

The more I think about my conversation with Hex that day.

Omega felt heat rising to his head.

It’s not me crawling on the ground like a bug, but I’m overcome by an inexplicable sense of defeat.

‘This kid···.’

On the subject of fresh green pine, he opens his eyes wide and endures what he could not endure.

It’s as if he’s berating himself for being unable to endure the flames and being traumatized by them.

Its mere presence causes anger.

‘Make me cry.’

The octopus picked up Rohan again.

He fixes his head to check the face marred by pain.

Okay then.

“Kick···!”

He looks at me and smiles. He makes a contemptuous expression while shedding tears and drool.

It seems like a provocation to try more, even if it’s ridiculous.

‘Are you laughing?’

Rohan was aware of his role and it was an intentional act.

This gave Omega a completely different feeling.

It’s not about being fueled by anger or being consumed by a competitive spirit to somehow break it.

Omega felt a sudden eerie sensation.

He becomes infinitely cold. His expression erases any trace of anger and becomes cold.

‘···Must be killed.’

I have a gut feeling that this nameless poison should be nixed here.

The decision to cut off my lifeline here, even if it means breaking my promise with Hex.

This guy is a thorn in the side of the main character in a different sense.

If we don’t put it out now, this spark will turn into a huge fire and come back to us.

‘What the heck is this guy···.’

Ironically, I was certain that this cadet’s blade would reach ‘him’.

An imagination that could not be imagined even by substituting any powerful person in the world is vividly depicted.

“You were born in the wrong era.”

But now, one finger is enough.

Just as Omega was about to stop playing around and poke a hole in his head with his finger.

“!?”

A fierce flame that tore away the restraints and aimed for his own neck. He sensed a power that brought back nightmares.

Omega pulled back his outstretched hand and focused on defense.

KWAAANG───!!!

Omega was hit by the lead’s blade along with the worm behind him.

The octopus’s legs were cleanly cut off, releasing Rohan.

Her red hair fluttered as she hugged Rohan.

“Instructor··· I’m fine··· Haa!”

Rohan, with a disfigured face and a strained voice, tells her that her life is not in danger.

The protagonist bit his lower lip, unable to say anything.

“Teacher, teacher···!”

“Please save Rohan and Corin!”

Two girls screaming as if they are upset that they still can’t move.

The protagonist lifted one foot from his seat.

Kuung!

The protagonist stomps the ground with his feet filled with magical power.

The fear that had been in the girls was blown away cleanly. Freedom came to their limbs.

“···.”

The protagonist carefully placed Rohan on the floor and watched the spot where Omega flew away.

Her eyes, as she glares at her enemies, are expressionless as usual.

Still, I can feel the burning anger.

Anyone who sees him can tell that he is genuinely angry.

Clank. Clank. Clank.

Omega emerged unharmed, trampling on the worm’s flesh that had burst in one blow.

The protagonist looked at his one-sided opponent and spoke in a low voice.

“The test is over. Take care of Rohan and Corin and get out.”

Declaration of completion of practical examination.

A translucent window appeared in front of Rohan, who had been holding on only with the hope that the protagonist would come.

[Quest completed.]
