The reorganization of the Orion Academy curriculum announced by the dean with an impressive beard like eternal snow.

It came with a thinner Academy uniform in proportion to the warmer weather.

Now, cadets are not only prepared to deal with monsters that threaten humanity.

Based on the data gathered by the great powers, they began to formally intervene in the interpersonal warfare training curriculum to deal with malicious humans.

As some cadets had hoped, the proportion of practical classes where students would get hands-on experience increased as the theory was filtered and reduced.

And today is the day when Jooyeon gives intensive guidance to each and every student in Class 1.

While other cadets continued training in their respective seats, waiting for their turn.

Rohan faces the main character with an Academy Edition sword and gun.

“Hoo···.”

Rohan let out a deep breath, his body flowing like liquid.

The tip of the sword points downward.

Sweat beads up his pitch-black bangs.

The moment the sweat falls and touches the floor.

Rohan’s body moved like lightning.

[Three Swords – Light Winged Sword]

“Sigh!”

A stab using elasticity at the moment when the body bounces back with force.

Sparks flashed.

Jjaeng──!

The protagonist deflected Rohan’s blade with his wooden sword.

And I was amazed.

Rohan’s growth is like bamboo hit by heavy rain.

‘It’s a great stab. It even has rotational power created by magic.’

In addition, the speed is the best among the swordsmanship skills shown by Rohan.

As we have seen through recent maps, the changes are not trivial as the skill level increases.

‘If I could minimize the preparatory movement and use this stab continuously… it would be a good weapon.’

It’s visible to the main character.

How much effort and practice Rohan put in in places unseen.

If they were of the same skill level, it would be difficult to take Rohan’s stab without getting hurt on the first try.

Even if you have outstanding skills, the chances of receiving it cleanly are only about 50%.

“You still have a long time to get your bearings. As you well know, enemies don’t wait for you to prepare like instructors do.”

“Huh!”

Rohan held the sword tightly in his hand as it bounced away with a strong resistance and aimed the pistol in his left hand.

“Focus on compressing the movement. It’s better than before, but it’s not yet at a level that can be used in actual combat.”

He pulls the trigger without hesitation as the main character continues to give advice.

bang!

The protagonist showed curiosity about the bullets that contained heterogeneous magical powers.

This is probably what changed Omega on the deserted island.

I want to try it out of curiosity, but the dignity and responsibility of an instructor suppress my unmanned instinct and I choose to let it go.

The lead actor is currently in an academy class.

I reminded myself again that it was time to teach Rohan.

‘The shooting path is perfect. It doesn’t feel awkward at all to use guns and swords.’

Determining the direction of the muzzle in an instant is not something that can be explained in words.

A realm where instinct and experience are in harmony.

Rohan seems to have found a weapon that is definitely suited to his hand.

In the protagonist’s memories, Rohan, who had lost all his magic power during their first duel in the past, comes to mind vividly.

Even then, guns and swords were clearly used.

‘Back then, bullets weren’t imbued with magic. I thought they couldn’t do it.’

At what point did the period of wandering when I only carried a sword begin?

‘Even if you have the talent to put magic power into a bullet, it’s not easy to handle a blade as well. It’s true that there are many people who are obsessed with one weapon.’

The lead actor suppressed the compliments that were about to come out of his mouth.

The current Rohan is in need of a whip.

Chaeng! Chaeng! Bang! Bang! Ping─!

The protagonist continued to offer advice while blocking Rohan’s sword and bullets with a wooden sword.

“Of course, this may not be the direction that Rohan’s swordsmanship is headed. However, if you want to use it in real combat, you need to refine your posture to make it compact.”

“Yep···!”

“If the instructor’s advice conflicts with the meaning of the swordsmanship, we should find a compromise. It is right to prioritize the form pursued by the sword and consider the instructor’s advice as a second option.”

At the protagonist’s words to try again, Rohan prepared the third sword again.

After a full-force thrust was blocked in vain.

I was corrected for my slightly messed up posture and was told that my magic circulation was not clean.

Beep be …

An alarm sounds, signaling that Rohan’s turn is over.

“Above. Go back and practice.”

“Thank you!”

··

The last class has ended and the academy is closed.

Rohan, who was heading to the shower room in the academy, stopped walking when he saw the girl in front of him.

It was rare for Ichinose to not have Noah by her side.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Ichinose too.”

If there weren’t any cadets passing by, I would have been nicknamed “Eung-Aenose” right away.

“Ahem···!”

“Why? Can you help me?”

Rohan raised the corners of his mouth as he watched Ichinose clearing her throat as if trying to say something.

I found it particularly cute that she wasn’t trying to look cute, but rather tried to look substantial.

“Do you remember before? I said I would buy you a meal···.”

“Of course I remember.”

It’s a story that Rohan didn’t bring up because there was no talk for a long time.

“How about dinner tonight? Are you busy?”

“I’m fine. I don’t have any plans.”

When Rohan readily accepted, the corners of Ichinose’s mouth and cheeks twitched.

“I’ll just take a shower and come back. I can’t go out like this.”

“I’m going to wash up in the dorm too. I sweated too much.”

“It only smells good?”

“Hey···! Get off!”

As Rohan approached playfully, Ichinose was startled and took a step back.

“Anyway, contact me when you’re done. I’ll be ready and waiting.”

“Yes. See you later.”

Ichinose walks away with graceful steps.

Rohan, who was watching that, quickly started walking with the thought of finishing his shower.

I took out my phone as I climbed the stairs.

In this case, I decided to send a message to Zion and Clara in advance.

Rohan quickly finished showering. Of course, washing wasn’t the only thing that was done.

Change into a neat uniform and be sure to equip yourself with the weapons of brilliance and branding.

Finally, I order a large iced Americano at the franchise cafe in front of the academy.

“Hmm.”

Rohan is a quick drinker.

I quickly empty the coffee and swirl the straw around in the space that is left behind, leaving only ice.

While I was thinking about opening the lid and chewing on the ice, I got a call from Ichinose.

‘Unexpectedly.’

The place where Ichinose wanted to meet was not a downtown area.

When I got out of the taxi at the location where I had shared my location, it was a deserted street like the alley where I first met Ichinose.

‘there is.’

Ichinose is seen standing quietly, wearing pretty everyday clothes.

He still has the sword in his arms. Excellent.

As Rohan approaches, his closed head moves.

“Isn’t it too late?”

“I just got here too.”

“Noah?”

“I’m busy today. It’s an important day where I have to decide who will be the leader of the alley among the Academy City cats···.”

Ichinose trailed off as she spoke, as if she was having trouble understanding.

It was an easy picture for Rohan to imagine.

Because I’ve seen Noah grooming and training stray cats in the park.

“Oh no. They’re not together.”

“There are days like this. Is Rohan better off with Noah···?”

“Why would Aeng-ae-no-se think like that?”

“···.”

Ichinose takes the lead, pouting.

There is no trace of anger in the sight of the girl looking back and telling him to hurry up.

Rohan walked beside Ichinose.

“Is there a good store around here?”

“Yes. It’s a store that only those who know about it know about.”

“Am I one of those people now?”

Ichinose snickered at Rohan’s words and asked.

“Rohan likes meat, right?”

“I like meat. But I also eat grass. I’m not particularly picky.”

“Then I’ll be satisfied. It’s a steakhouse that sells only a limited amount of steaks per day.”

“Oh!”

“The meat is good and the portions are not small. The sides are also great.”

“I’m already drooling.”

Rohan can tell that the store he chose was chosen with his eating habits in mind.

Doesn’t Ichinose prefer light meals?

It is best to react as loudly as possible in proportion to the respect shown.

“After the meal, you can enjoy dessert inside···.”

“···.”

Two people walking down a quiet alley stopped.

Because of the black tombstone that suddenly appeared in sight.

‘Monolith!’

By the time you realize it, it’s already too late.

Kugugugugugu───!!!

The pitch-black tombstone glows with ominous letters.

Magical power swirls and takes hold of space.

“Ichinose! Come here!”

“···!”

Rohan pulled Ichinose, who had frozen, into his arms and hugged her tightly.

It must never be scattered inside.

[ A quest occurs. ]

A new notification window that I haven’t seen in a long time.

Rohan’s eyes widened in shock.

‘Dream horse? Succubus!?’

The title was so intense that the reward didn’t even catch my eye.

Just like that, in a moment.

The monolith swallowed two people.
