episode_0098
by fnovelpiaA tightly clenched fist.
Sharpened eyes.
The training center leader was on guard so that he could attack at any time.
“There are many excellent instructors here. No matter how strong you are, it won’t be easy.”
Even such a cute warning.
It appears that he is determined not to pass over Croshell.
Of course, if I fight him, I’ll be in trouble too.
Because my body is not well yet.
Internal injuries will get worse.
But you wouldn’t have expected that.
That guy can’t fight here.
Because he is a guy who cares about cadets.
“Arthur. If we fight here, the building will collapse. Aren’t they paying their respects outside? For your information, there are also Death Knights waiting outside. If we go on a rampage, not only will there be casualties, but the training center will disappear.”
“… … … .”
He must be frustrated too.
Because I came out that day and saw the power of the Death Knight.
No matter how much you are the training center leader, you will want to avoid fighting with me.
Moreover, we are currently in the middle of a memorial service.
But what if you get caught up in a fight and there are casualties?
And to intruders inside the building?
Cadets, as well as their sponsors and families, will distrust the training center, and the training center director will not be able to avoid personal responsibility.
Still, it would be difficult to back down.
Because I’m in charge here.
If Croschel escapes again, he will bear enormous responsibility alone.
But what can I do?
I said I would do that.
The world is originally on the side of the strong.
“Choose. Will you stop me or give me Croshell? If you stop me, the memorial service will be dozens of times bigger.”
“… … … .”
The guy couldn’t help but wrinkle his face.
Although he is the head of the training center, he has poor judgment.
A guy who is passive in political fights.
His choice is as obvious as fire.
A slightly safer option.
It’s a choice where you only lose yourself.
It’s about giving away Croshell.
But was there any final pride?
The training center director spoke with difficulty.
“… Let’s shake hands once.”
“What?… .”
“I want to gauge your strength. I think that way, you will be able to lessen your hesitation in making a choice.”
“Handshake… That would be fine.”
“Are you accepting it?”
“Of course. If you make me kneel with a handshake, I will give up taking Croshell with me.”
“… Really?”
“Why. Do you feel confident that you can beat me with your strength?”
“I can’t deny it. I have never lost to anyone by force. At least you shouldn’t have made such conditions with a handshake.”
“Honestly, I’m not strong. Still, I don’t think I’ll lose to you.”
“… … Then.”
chuck.
The guy came over and held out his hand.
His hands were at least twice as big as mine.
In the middle, Croshell looks nervously through the bars.
He’s probably rooting for the training center director.
Because I heard that I was going to die.
However, it doesn’t seem like the training director is worried about whether he believes he will win.
Since he’s never seen me fight, he probably believes that the training director is stronger.
Eat.
In that case, I have no choice but to break it.
Although my body is not fully healed yet, there is nothing particularly difficult as long as I shake hands.
I also wonder about the level of the training center director.
Cheee-
There is a burning sound coming from the body.
A method of temporarily strengthening the body by forcibly increasing the branches of the mana circuit.
Body Strengthening Level 1.
◎︎ Temporarily increases strength by 34.
◎︎ Temporarily increases agility by 38.
◎︎ Stamina is temporarily reduced by 29.
◎︎ Mana runs out quickly.
Body strengthening level 2.
Suddenly, suddenly.
Cheek!-
◎︎ Temporarily increases strength by 51.
◎︎ Temporarily increases agility by 57.
◎︎ Stamina is temporarily reduced by 43.
◎︎ Mana runs out quickly.
◎︎ You get tired faster.
“Huh?… .”
Perhaps because the circuit has already been greatly increased, it is still bearable.
Mana friendly body.
Stably tempered dual circuit.
If you train more, it would be no problem to expand to 3rd level.
This brings my strength to 227.
“Is that a skill?”
“It’s technology.”
“… … I really can’t guess.”
Good!
I just held my hands together.
cook,
Kuguk!
As both sides applied their strength, a calm yet unexpected shock wave cracked.
A feeling of pressure pressing down on my hands.
Even though I did this, I still lack strength.
then.
“ᚷᚩᛃᛁᛚᛁᚲᛃᚨ.”
Increased strength.
Paaah~
“… Do you know how to use magic?”
“I don’t know how to use it, but I am a magic swordsman.”
Ogre’s strength.
ᚩ᛬ᚢ᛬ᚷ᛬ᛟ᛬ᚷᛖ᛬ᚢ᛬ᚱ᛬.
The energy of the earth.
ᛞᚨᛁᛉᛁᛋ ᚤᛁᚢᚾ.
Hardening of power.
ᚺᛁᛘᛋᛁᚾ᛬ᚲᛃᛁᛚᚢᚻᛅ.
I overlaid the strength-enhancing magic that vaguely came to mind and wrapped the strength from my hands to my shoulders and compressed it onto the surface of my skin.
“Amazing workmanship.”
The training center director also raised a strong flag in his hand.
Coogoo soup!!
A clash of powerful forces.
This one is a little more superior.
“Didn’t you say you’ve never been defeated by force?”
“Not at full power yet!”
Suddenly.
What is happening?
The training director’s muscles swelled from his chest to his fingertips.
Strong superpowers are strengthened to the point of madness.
It must have a strength of at least 300 or more.
“What an ignorant skill.”
“Hehe. I don’t like using my head when I’m sick.”
Are you proud?… .
What should I do?
Puzzle.
My hands are crushed.
My bones feel like they will break.
If things continue like this, we will be pushed out.
It is good to apply more buffs, but the more they overlap, the less effective they become.
If that’s the case… .
Tiring!
◎︎ Hand drawing is partially used.
Uduk!
Coogoo soup!!
“Hmm?”
The hands and arms were transformed into the body of a phantom beast.
Basically, when I turn into a human, my stats decrease by about 1/4.
Now that you have strengthened your body and added a lot of buffs, you can achieve approximately 300 degrees of superpower just by restoring that strength.
In other words, it is similar to the training center director.
Kuguguguguk… .
Damn.
There is a crack in the stone floor.
The shock waves contained in both hands leaked out.
“What an amazing ability… .”
The guy’s face hardened slightly.
I’m starting to feel anxious.
Can’t overwhelm you with your specialty power?
So, what would happen if we competed with all our other abilities?
Overwhelming defeat.
You might think something like that.
There is a difference between simply seeing something and experiencing it with your own body.
He must have guessed how big the vessel I am right now is.
The training center director doesn’t seem to be at his best right now, but if we add more, the building might collapse. So, I’ll come to a conclusion soon.
Save the country!!… .
The shock wave leaks out more and more loudly.
I feel like the building is shaking slightly.
In the end, the guy gave up.
“I lost. Stop it.”
“It’s obvious.”
“I didn’t even see the black energy. I wanted to see that… .”
“With your skills, there is no way.”
“… … … .”
In fact, if we had truly competed with each other outside of the building, morale would have been necessary… There’s no need to tell you.
Kugugu… .
Sreuk.
I slowly calmed down and loosened my handshake.
I won’t block it further with this.
“Hey, hey!! Training center manager!! Are you planning to give up here? I am the instigator of this incident. Are you really going to hand me over to that guy!!!”
Instead, Croshell shouted in confusion.
The little fish that shouts desperately to save its life is as deceitful as a snake.
There is nothing good about letting that guy open his mouth. If he were to do anything, he would use his tongue to get me into a fight with the training center director.
“Training Center Director!! Think about your situation. If I leave again, what excuse will I have-”
“ᛍᛁᛗᛋᚢᚲᛁᛃ᛬ᛒᛖᚢᚲ.”
Wall of silence.
It blocked the sound between Croshell and us.
Whether he was banging on the cage or shouting loudly, no sound was heard.
“It’s quiet now.”
“Ha… … Should I take him with me? I’m asking because I get in trouble a lot.”
“I don’t think it’s something I need to worry about.”
“… okay. I guess so. Hehe… … .”
A sigh that contains a lot of something.
It’s a bit pathetic.
Of course, that doesn’t change my mind. Because other people’s circumstances are none of my business.
but… Then the horse braked.
“Is this training camp over now? It’s time to retire. haha… .”
“… … What?”
Is training camp over?
Are you retiring?
for a moment.
What does this mean?
I quickly turned my head.
If Crochel escapes from prison again, the training center director will not be able to avoid responsibility, and he will walk a thorny path no matter what.
I thought it had nothing to do with me up to this point.
But what happens after that?
If his position decreases like this, the reorganization of the training center will be blocked and he will become an old man in the back room again or resign from his position.
Then the training center becomes even more messed up.
My disciple is in such a place… .
uh?
“… If I take Croshell away like this, what will happen to you?”
“Me?… The center probably thought it was time to grab a pod and pull me out. Still, I tried to give it a try, haha. I guess I’ll just have to live in the countryside. Yes, this would be right for my situation.”
“… … … Then what about the training center?”
“Isn’t it obvious? If I disappear, someone who listens to the central nobles will sit down.”
too… I thought lightly.
I can’t believe I’m finally remembering such an obvious thing.
The current training center director is responsible for the incident.
If the royal family is asked to investigate and the culprit is missed, it is sure to be a problem.
The position is greatly reduced… .
retirement.
This is difficult.
For the most part, I just ignored other people’s situations without thinking too much about them.
Because it’s none of my business.
But does that affect the disciple?
“… Joe, I’m willing to help you a little.”
“Hmm? Suddenly?… .”
The student wants to attend the training center.
You can tell by looking at their passion and laughter. I liked this place where I could simply compete with someone and make friends.
Not only did he want to become a warrior, but he also started making friends like Fiona.
I can’t let you quit already.
“… I’ll take Croshell later.”
“Huh?”
“First of all, are you in a cooperative relationship with the royal investigation team?”
“Well, that’s not it… Why is that suddenly?… … .”
“Then that’s it. When the royal investigation team takes Croshell away, we can attack them and take them away. Yes, if you do that, your standing will go up even further.”
“What… .”
“I understand that instructor Tiana went to the center with the investigation team during the labyrinth incident some time ago. Maybe it will be like that this time too.”
“Labyrinth!!? How is that!!… .”
“Noisy. So when will the royal investigation team come?”
“Ah. That’s tomorrow… … … .”
“Come back tomorrow.”
“Huh?… … Oh, no. Who the hell are you? Was it really your fault that killed Instructor MacGuard in the labyrinth?”
“There was such trash.”
“He was an instructor at the training center!! Why on earth would you do that!!-”
“The instructor tried to kill the cadet. I don’t think it’s my place to blame.”
“What?… .”
“If I hadn’t killed him, the cadet would have died. No, don’t blur the point. I didn’t come here to talk about this.”
I feel sorry for Rauf, but I decided to postpone the kidnapping of Croshell for a while.
If you say it’s for your daughter, you’ll understand.
Because he is a guy whose daughter comes first no matter what.
“First of all, there will be a lot to talk about. I will come back tomorrow so please cooperate.”
“Wait!! Are you going to keep going like this?”
“Didn’t you say you’d come back tomorrow? Don’t hold on unless you plan to attack.”
“Okay, then answer me this one thing. Are you helping us? What does it have to do with the training camp? What was the reason for your involvement in this incident with Migung?”
“You say you only ask one thing, but you ask a lot… There is a fortune growing at the training center.”
“Lots of luck?… .”
“That’s it. You and I are probably close allies.”
Sigh~
I turned around and walked.
At this, the training center director and Croshell stared blankly at my disappearing figure.
On the way to silence.
So I left the dungeon empty-handed.
*
The black-haired man slowly disappeared.
“Huh… .”
The training center director shook his head.
Honestly, I didn’t understand what was going on.
Unidentified person.
A person who is at the core of the case.
A person I couldn’t find no matter how much I searched.
Is it a savior?
Is he a suspect?
The person who I couldn’t judge appeared out loud and tried to take Croshell away.
However, for some reason, he asked about his situation, and instead said that he would help him, and then left Croshell behind and went back empty-handed.
It turns out that he was the culprit in the labyrinth incident and that it was to save the cadets.
why?
why?
The only question left is:
“Training Center Director! What did we talk about!? Why did the author leave me alone?”
Croshell asks questions from behind.
I looked at him for a moment.
I remembered the man and Croshell acting as if they were spherical faces.
“Croshell. What is your relationship with the man just now?”
“I asked the question first!! Why did that guy suddenly go away?”
“Ha… Croshell. That man said it earlier. It’s up to me. If you don’t want to get hit, it’s better to just say it.”
Wow-
My red-hot fist was clenched.
“Ugh… Me, I don’t know either. He just appeared out of nowhere and tried to kill me. If it weren’t for that guy, the plan wouldn’t have failed.”
“… I guess so.”
“So why did the man just leave? What conversation did you have?”
“Instructor Crocell.”
“What… Why do you do that? Until you set the mood so heavily… .”
“… … It looks like you don’t have much time left to live. Sacrifice for the training camp. Unfortunately, I have no way to stop it. This is the best.”
“What… What do you mean? ”
“What should we do? It’s all self-employed. Let’s get some rest now.”
“That means… Training center manager!! Could it be that you sold me out!! Even though you did that!!-”
“Okay then.”
Swish~
The training director left the dungeon without even looking back. I lightly ignored Croshell’s shouting from behind me.
Afterwards, I had a trustworthy instructor guard the basement and then went up to the office.
I rested my chin and sorted out the situation step by step.
An unidentified black-haired man.
A key figure in the warlock incident.
The one who killed the instructor in the labyrinth incident.
Who exactly is it?
Strangely enough, what the man did was for the benefit of the cadets at the training center.
So, are they allies?
No, it has to be an ally.
If you antagonize a strong person like that, you won’t be able to get rid of them.
The man’s defeat, which appeared to be just a simple handshake, was insanely numerous.
The ability to strengthen the body at will.
Magical ability capable of chanting without chanting.
The power to manipulate strength in detail.
The ability to transform body parts.
and… Although it wasn’t visible, it even had black energy and freezing abilities.
“I really don’t know.”
In fact, the level of the man estimated when shaking hands was not that high.
Only about 5 stars.
But it wasn’t an ordinary 5 star.
“There are two mana circuits… Is that really possible?”
So it’s even more confusing.
Even though it is a double circuit that we have never seen before, is it possible for the 5-star to generate that much power?
No way.
In other words, he has transcendent abilities and skills that defy the realm.
It’s a monster.
He is a power that he can never defeat.
Then why did he obediently step down?
Why did he give up a step when he had that kind of power?
why?
“Lot of luck… Did you say that?”
This is how the man answered that urgent question. There is a fortune in the training center.
“Lot of luck… … .”
Does that lucky bundle represent a cadet?
Did he take a step back for that fortune?
So does he have a connection with the cadets at the training center?
Then, another question arises here.
“Who is that cadet?”
