In addition to the Academy ‘Schedule Management’ application and ‘Communication’ application, Evergreen Pad has
Description of various facilities within the academy and a ‘reservation’ application to reserve those facilities,
A ‘trading’ application that allows you to buy and sell various ingenious items developed at the Academy,
There is even a ‘simulation’ application that allows academy students to safely spar with each other.
The explanation was that a total of five applications were built into the so-called Evergreen Pad by default.
Among these, along with the schedule management application and communication application, there was one application that I used as soon as I heard the explanation: the combat simulation application. It is still in use today.
“Ugh!”
“Thank you for your hard work. Candidate Gray.”
My opponent is the only person in this room other than me who has an evergreen pad. It’s Alfred.
I never started with the expectation or thought that I would win.
I had already heard that one of the reasons why simulation applications are popular among academy students is because they accurately reflect the user’s level.
There was no way I, who had just started using my divine power and grasped the concept of weapon techniques, could defeat Alfred.
It started with a very simple idea: to prepare if someone asks me to spar with this simulation.
Yeah, that’s definitely exactly what I wanted. At first.
After running the simulation application, the moment you overlap the pads, a magically translucent space appears before your eyes, like a hologram.
A not-so-wide cubic space made of light.
In that space, people the size of two fingers stand opposite each other. It wasn’t a vague figure, but one side was clearly me. And on the other side, of course, was Alfred. It didn’t look like he was wearing a straight suit like the one in front of me right now, but rather he was wearing armor that looked quite heavy.
“What should I do?”
“Same as real sparring. You can think of me as attacking an enemy visible in the simulation.”
It was a moment when I remembered the basic spear techniques and Maeng Jin-bo movements that were imprinted in my mind according to his words.
[ha!]
With a small cheering sound, as if my voice had been recorded and the volume was turned down, a small hologram in my image, holding an iron bar in its hand, approached Alfred fairly quickly.
As much as I put my energy into it, I stabbed the spear in such a surprising and wonderful manner that I wondered if I could really do that much.
Tub-.
However, the spear that my avatar fired was so shamelessly caught in the hand of Alfred’s small avatar.
Suddenly!
And then my cute little avatar’s head gets cut off by the sword held by Alfred’s avatar, who doesn’t have any human hair whatsoever, and he falls to the ground. As soon as my avatar’s head was cut, a space of light dissipated with a ‘pop!’ sound.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
The moment I heard Alfred’s face and words greeting me like I had just drank a glass of water, as if nothing had happened, it felt like something snapped in my head.
And now, in the 14th fight, I still couldn’t throw the spear more than twice and had to watch the avatar scatter with its head cut off.
However, I couldn’t ask for it to be lost, so I had to take comfort in the fact that I had used this simulation application to my heart’s content.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Now that the first and 14 fights are over. Alfred’s attitude remains the same every time. The pitch of the voice did not change at all. expression. And even the angle of bending the waist is the same.
‘I feel like I’ve been humiliated. shit!’
There is nothing I can do. Other than huffing to myself and letting off steam.
“Oh my~. It’s an amazing tool. It’s also fun. But Alfred? I have a question~?”
“Tell me.”
“Then what do you do with summoning classes such as elementalists or illusionists who create phantom beasts?”
Why does it sound like the clown is angrier than me when he’s obviously smiling?
“It’s simple. It is also possible to implement any summoned animal that the avatar’s owner has the ability to summon. Usually, in the case of a spiritist, he or she summons the spirits he or she can summon and engages in a duel. The same goes for others. Even those who tame wild beasts also embody tamed beasts.”
“Ugh? That’s right. Master~?”
After saying that, the clown smiled charmingly and approached me, offering his right cheek to me. I don’t mean to ask you to hit me in the face. You’re hoping for praise, right?
“Good job.”
While answering, she very gently and timidly placed her lips on the clown’s cheek and then released it.
Those trembling lips. I’m so glad I didn’t do it head on.
This damn single person. Even in the memories of the other two souls, there is no memory of dating a woman, female, female, etc. Not a single grain of it.
‘He was a person who could fire hellfire. I.’
After some time passed when I realized my true self, which I didn’t know about, I flashed a confident smile – a rotten smile that I later heard from Alfred – towards Alfred, who had not yet figured out what was going on.
“Alfred. This simulation application. You say it’s for safe sparring or ‘duel’? Then, well, we make bets with each other, but?”
“Students at the academy mainly use it.”
“Should we do this too? Bet?”
“… Are you talking to me? I don’t really want anything from Gray. If there’s anything you want from me, just tell me. That’s easier… You will be comfortable.”
He’s very polite, but he secretly annoys people. A tone of voice that never thought he would lose.
Even ‘if you have something you want, it might be easier to just say it.’ I almost made a mistake.
‘As expected, Alfred and I don’t get along.’
“If I win this time, just by chance, you will keep ‘all’ information about me. Absolutely, no information will be shared with anyone.”
“… … You’re winning?”
“Yes. I said if. Just in case, just by chance, I win, even if only by chance. And if you land… What should I do?”
“It’s okay. So let’s get started.”
If I had to choose the worst person I’ve ever met in my life who said he was okay, I would choose this old man right in front of me.
I can feel the spirit in the pad he holds out to me as he launches the application as if stabbing a sword.
“Then. If you lose, I’ll be polite to Alfred. Just like when we first met. Last edition, take care. Alfred.”
Chagak-.
With the sound of two metal plates colliding, a battlefield colored with light appears.
Alfred’s avatar is still standing there, waiting for me. I looked up from the battlefield and looked at Alfred’s face, but no emotion flowed from his face.
okay. Like an old man reading a book while sitting in a comfortable chair on a leisurely afternoon. I wasn’t thinking about anything like ‘anomaly’ at all.
Alfred’s avatar appeared red to me, and my avatar appeared blue.
This time my avatar didn’t move either. In other words, both the blue and red avatars were waiting in front of the wall of the space where they were located.
“Mr. Gray?”
“Ah. Let’s start.”
I didn’t run away like I did before. However, I pierced my avatar’s arm with a spear and scratched it to make it bleed before summoning it.
“Hmm?!”
A clown.
The avatar summoned in front of me was shining bright green, and even the avatar was showing off a bewitching appearance. He succeeded in summoning the Arcana.
‘Kill me.’
The moment I had that thought.
The clown avatar that disappeared from the battlefield was standing next to Alfred’s avatar.
Holding his cleanly cut head.
When it disappears and reappears. Alfred’s head had already been cut off.
Paaah!
Soon the light broke and the battlefield disappeared.
When we first met, Alfred’s poker face, which made me wonder if he could ever show emotion on his face, broke once again and he looked at me and the clown alternately with bewildered eyes. His eyes met mine for just a moment and were shaking violently.
“I did that~. I’m going to die~. I don’t lie in front of my master.”
“Then. then. There is no way our clown would lie to me.”
“Master~. Will that kid keep a secret? Shouldn’t this be the most effective way to silence people?”
“A. I will keep your secret. right? Alfred?”
Alfred’s eyes were speaking.
‘Stop it! ‘You crazy kites!’
For some reason, I felt like I heard his shouting.
