Episode 44. After all, the maiden opening ceremony has to be extravagant, right?

From that day on, Happy slowly began to accept evolution.

“… .”

Since I can’t speak the language properly yet, I just substitute it with prayer. Happy’s wings slowly became colored in a new way.

And two days later.

Category:Materials

Grade: A

Feature: Unlike other Happy items, the item has been strengthened with faith that has a clear object of faith.

-Item description

This is a feather pulled out to prove one’s faith.

Originally, it boasts weaker attribute power than other light attribute items because it is a divine power created by worshiping an object that has no real substance, but by worshiping the entity called ‘sword’, it has come to contain stronger light attributes.

When used as a sword material, it strengthens the grade of the sword and the materials used in it.

After reading all of the item descriptions, I stepped into the cage where Happy was staying.

Now, how have you changed?

Will you still run at me like a bitch?

The automatic door opens and Happy, who was praying, looks at me.

I am reflected in the eyes, which are as white as the wings. However, the same killing intent as last time disappeared without a trace.

“Hello.”

Although it was only a short word.

Happy smiled and approached me.

The murderous intent I harbored did not disappear. But it was a story that could be overlaid with more emotions. Happy’s white wings, with a faintly pink face, caress me.

“The person who made God known.”

It was still an immature thing to say.

But Happy has definitely changed.

From a mere female to a human who worships the sword.

“Today’s practical test is to aim for the ‘top’ as I told you in advance. The time limit starts at 11 a.m. on the same day and ends at 11 p.m. the next day. It is scheduled to last a total of 36 hours.”

36 hours.

It wasn’t a short time, but considering the environment of the tower, it was quite a tight time.

The environment changes dramatically every time you go up a floor. From fantasy-created environments to special monsters, conquering a single layer was not much different from conquering a small dungeon.

As soon as you finish adjusting to one world, you move on to another.

“This practice test will probably be harsher than you think. I hope that in such a situation, there will be no situations where parties fight among themselves.”

The students respond loudly to instructor Iari.

But, I knew.

Most of the students who shouted loudly would fight among their party members. There is also game information in this, but it just says that if three or more people gather together, there is a high probability that one of them will be a troll.

As soon as Instructor Lee Ari left for a moment for the final inspection, a guy I had somehow seen before from afar approached me.

“Hey! You probably remember me!!”

“… Who are you?”

I honestly don’t remember.

I remember seeing something somewhere, but it didn’t immediately come to mind because the traces felt like a few drops of white milk dropped on a pure white carpet.

But as soon as I saw the sword at my side, it came to mind.

“ Ah, a struggle with an argument to the cancer.

“Who calls you a sloppy bastard!!”

I check the sword of the fuming guy again. And my expression naturally became crumpled.

“You… You changed your sword?”

“Of course. Because that sword has reached the end of its life. After all, it wasn’t like I was in a hurry to pick up something that a blacksmith had thrown away.”

I can feel my own eyes turning cold towards the guy who says it’s no big deal.

It’s something I understand intellectually. The sword is ultimately expendable. If I didn’t have the power of skills, unlike in the past, in this world where I use swords to fight monsters, I might have had to prepare for the death of the sword.

So, I understood the person holding the other sword.

Even if I can’t understand that behavior. People who were treated with the minimum level of courtesy as a swordsman could understand.

but,

Those guys were exceptions.

A waste of society that cannot even be understood, let alone understood.

“Anyway, the declaration of war… Gook?!”

“You’ll have to hope you don’t run into me at the tower.”

The tower is a structure that creates situations through fantasy, but if you see the same fantasy at the same time, you could run into other students.

And within it, fights between students are legalized.

The reason was that it was an illusion anyway, but the reason was that it also provided various types of training.

When fighting villains, the sense of solidarity of academy classmates may be helpful, but when attacking a dungeon, if you meet as a different attack team, you may have to compete.

In addition, the possibility of a hero degenerating into a villain is slim, but it does exist, so attacking each other is good training.

To me, it’s just a great cause.

“Thanks to the illusion magic, you won’t get hurt, but it will hurt really bad, right?”

“ㅇ, is it okay for a hero to make threats or something like that!?”

“Of course. If you’re dealing with a villain like you.”

With those words, I walked away from him. I feel like I want to take the sword away from that guy right now.

Isn’t it too comfortable to be treated the same way as other guys?

“You bitch.”

“Yes.”

“Basically, how long does it take academy students to conquer one floor?”

“1 to 2 hours for difficult groups. Even for those of a comfortable class, it takes 20 to 30 minutes to understand the situation and fulfill the attack conditions.”

In other words, it’s safe to target around 45, right?

“It definitely seemed like there was one here.”

It’s been a while since I’ve been browsing the SS Coin store. As far as I remember, there was one good scroll type product… Ah, I found it.

You will be able to use the scroll to track the location of one of the nearby swords.

This is a one-time use skill.

Can only be used on swords.

Thanks to the restrictions, I can use the scroll I purchased for just a few dozen coins without hesitation.

for the next 48 hours.>

It lasted longer than I expected. To be honest, given the price, I was prepared to use up 2 or 3 of them.

“This should be enough.”

I finished the calculation in my head, at least roughly.

Even if it was fantasy magic, the tower existed in reality, so if I were to enter the same world, that guy’s sword would tell me his location.

Then just for a moment.

All it really takes is a split second.

That might not be a bad idea either. However, if he is certain that he will be the top student in this midterm exam, he will reject even if I apply to spar with him.

“Maybe that guy didn’t see me defeat Balis.”

I wasn’t sure.

But when you started arguing with me earlier, I was sure.

“That guy isn’t even in the same class as me, and he’s probably only heard my story through rumors.”

Otherwise, I couldn’t understand those eyes.

Those eyes that think they can beat me in a situation where the difference in skill level is so obvious.

“A bastard who barely manages his sword that way.”

“That’s not a bad method either.”

But it’s too wasteful to invest time in something like that.

If his dagger was still with me, I would have considered it. But he had already thrown away his sword. Even if the threat made him care for the sword, the dagger that had already suffered was gone from his side.

“Then I have to show it properly.”

What kind of pain was that sword going through?

The two swords belatedly nodded, understanding what I was trying to do during the midterm exam.

This was something that could only be done here.

In this tower made of fantasy magic, a method close to fraud that is only possible at this moment when there is a magic sword made from Arang’s molar.

“At first, I was only planning to use it for strategy purposes… I think I will debut much more spectacularly than I thought?”

While saying that, I pulled out a softly shining pure white dagger from the thigh holder and spoke.

“No. Alon?”

‘Of course. master.’
