Spider Hunt (1)

the sky turned black

It was a night when a dreary fog spread beneath our feet, making even the lights of the streetlights look dimmer than usual.

It is the middle of spring, where there is no trace of winter left.

Cynthia was a little scared of the darkness of the night when she couldn’t even see the stars properly.

“Ah. I see.”

However, that anxiety completely dissipated once I arrived at the dormitory.

Even at night, the yard and garden of the large freshman dormitory were bustling with students coming and going.

I must have weak courage…

He sighed softly and headed towards the dormitory, holding the note tightly in his arms.

“yes···?”

However, a strange air passes through the tip of my nose.

A faint, but sharp breath that tingles in the lungs.

The moment I noticed that it was Magi, a massive figure soared through the ground around the dormitory.

“Aww!”

Shocked, she backed away, examining the figure.

It was a beast with a bizarre appearance resembling a wolf, a ‘spider wolf’, a low-level monster.

‘Beasts!?’

Why is the Witchbeast here?

Wasn’t it impossible to get out of the border area?

Even in the midst of chaos, she quickly moved to her dormitory.

This is because the sudden uproar started to draw attention to this one by one.

“uh?”

Just by looking at it, there are more than tens of demons.

Ahead of them, question marks swarmed across their faces.

The momentary stillness fell heavily.

In preparation for an emergency, Cynthia raised the magic power in her body.

However, what was reflected in the eyes of the students who faced the roaring monster was not fear, but a sparkling light.

“Ah! That’s the event Professor Eugene said!”

“to?”

event?

Come to think of it, Yujin Kang had said that.

Could that be this?

“Guys! Professor Eugene’s event has started!”

“Wow, is that a witch beast? It’s not real, right?”

“The carrots must be fake. Wow. Really well made.”

The children seemed to think that all of this was part of the class prepared by Yujin Kang, so there was no tension at all.

Rather, I felt excited at the thought of getting extra points.

“what···.”

Come to think of it, the spider wolf was one of the monsters that I had been studying hard lately.

If this was really an event, it wouldn’t be strange to have a sense of pride.

If it was really an event…

“Uh… Guys… that’s a real demon…”

Cynthia knew.

Those are real demonic beasts.

It was very faint because it was a lower class, but Cynthia could clearly feel that the devil’s blood was flowing.

However, Cynthia’s timid warning was unlikely to lift the heads of the young students.

They immediately aroused magic and began to use demonic language.

– Kreuk?

When the humans began to speak their own words, the spider wolves looked no less bewildered.

It wasn’t even a crowd.

From a human perspective, it’s like meeting an animal in the forest and saying hello to that animal.

Moreover, if the greeting is skillful, the confusion multiplies.

The children who had the fate of a star, not anyone else, practiced only dying during the Mathematics class.

It was impossible not to be skillful, and thanks to this, the heads of the spider wolves were falling into deep chaos.

“I succeed!”

“Ugh. I’m successful too, but I don’t want to get close.”

“sit down!”

Soon after, children who succeeded in rapport began to emerge.

In the chaos, the sympathy ‘taken’ spider wolves became docile sheep, and some even licked students’ faces.

“Wow. It stings my cheeks from licking it.”

“Isn’t it because it’s a canine? Why is the wolf’s tongue rough?”

no···. It’s because you drink it…

Cynthia secretly hoped that the superintendent would come and solve the situation, but when she heard that the superintendent, who had been running in a hurry, said that it was an event from the professor, she went back inside, saying to do well.

It’s a total mess.

Cynthia felt like her head was spinning.

Kurur…

“uh···?”

The ground shook once more, and this time large spiders came out.

Intermediate Beast Shelob.

The guy shuddered as soon as he appeared, probably angry at the behavior of his subordinates.

“Uh! Intermediate!”

It looks scary, but it’s been a long time since the formula of ‘intermediate level = higher score’ has already been created for children who have experienced spider wolves.

As the children gathered toward Shelob, Cynthia’s face turned blue.

Intermediate level is much more difficult than lower level.

If you fail like this, you will surely get hurt.

“for a moment···!”

Cynthia, who had gathered her mana, concocted an intermediate level magical language.

Recalling the advice I heard from Kang Yu-jin, I gave him a podium so that the back part wouldn’t become sluggish.

Magical power that glowed purple rose to the top of her hand, and was replayed toward the Shelops who were glaring at the children.

Profit- Profit-

“Guys, stop…!”

Perhaps her desperate wish had worked, the Shelobs all stopped moving and looked at Cynthia.

“Hick…”

Cynthia’s face went white.

The pressure from the monstrous giant spiders was not something that a weak girl’s sensitivity could handle…

Either way, the Shelobs approached Cynthia and surrounded her.

Then, with eyes devoid of even hostility, he began to smack her body.

Siik-

City profit-

Roughly speaking, I didn’t expect to meet a female human with whom I could speak.

Why are we talking so well?

Seeing that he doesn’t get along with lower-class guys, something is different.

it was like

“Uh… that… that’s…”

I did as Yujin Kang said, but I didn’t think I would succeed in one go!

Cynthia, whose complexion was pale among the spiders, sent a desperate glance at the children.

‘Please take me out!’

But what about the children’s reaction to her rescue request?

“Wow. Look at him. Intermediate took it all by himself.”

“Talents die…”

. . . He only glanced at her with a gaze mixed with envy and jealousy.

Cynthia felt like crying out loud today.

*

The outer garden of the Capella Pavilion.

In a place where thick darkness descended, a ray of flame exploded.

When the brightly burning torch lit up the darkness, the Witchbeast that hovered in the shadows turned to ashes with a scream.

Estelle frowned as she watched the ash scattered along with the flames.

“dirty.”

Estelle was calm even in the darkness where the Witchbeast roamed.

He just quietly complained as he dusted off his ashes-stained uniform.

“What is this?”

I was thinking of taking a light walk like usual and going back.

Suddenly, a darker night fell than usual, and witch beasts began to come out.

It was truly an unprecedented situation, but today all the professors are away from school to restore the barrier.

In other words, there is currently no adult in Helios to solve this mysterious phenomenon.

‘It’s not easy.’

He must have thought that the center of the school would be absolutely safe.

The central dimension had never been breached before, so even if the barrier was weakened, he must have not thought that the monster would invade the center of the school.

Of course, Estelle was also one of the blind believers in the barrier until just a moment ago, but she pretended not to know.

After all, she was a victim now.

“Rhodes will be fine.”

As I expanded my senses with magic, I felt something similar to a barrier nearby.

Judging from the scale, it covers the capella pipe.

In other words, there was a high probability that the outside would be fine.

bothered.

I should go back soon and review it.

The hand lighting the torch drew a slow trajectory.

By the way.

“!”

I could feel the signs of approaching quickly through the darkness.

fast.

Estelle, who quickly condensed the torch, fired a spark in the direction of the presence.

bang!

Flames burst out and the grass all around burned in the scorching heat.

And in the midst of the fading flames, a single human figure appeared.

It was a man, not a witch.

“professor?”

It was Kang Yoo-jin who appeared in the flames.

He glanced at the torch attached to his shabby coat and brushed it off as if dusting.

It was spectacular to see the flames of the stars burning anything, as if shaking off ashes.

Estelle’s expression went blank for an instant at the absurd magic resistance.

“Did you clean up the magic beast nearby?”

“···Yeah.”

“You did well.”

Estelle glanced at the Witchbeast that had turned to ashes and said.

“Isn’t this an event?”

“Yes. It’s a real beast.”

“Then the event is just to reassure the kids?”

He shook his head.

In the unprecedented state of being invaded by a real demonic beast, he remained calm as if he knew everything.

“Wouldn’t the children be in danger?”

“It’s okay. I’ve taught you how to deal with these guys.”

“·······?”

No, it’s a way of saying that I really knew.

A question mark floated above Estelle’s head.

“Follow me. It’s dangerous here.”

“Can’t you go home?”

He quietly raised his hand and pointed to the outskirts of the garden.

“There is a barrier. It’s probably made by the instigator of this incident. It will be difficult to break through until the core is destroyed.”

There’s nothing you can’t do if you try, but it’s easier to find the core and break it than that.

he was saying that

Estelle raised her head and stared at Eugene.

For some reason, looking at the twinkling blue eyes, Eugene expressed a question.

“What.”

“Am I going to destroy nuclear weapons too?”

“If you wish.”

“Can I help?”

“If it were you, it would be possible.”

In other words, other students say no.

Estelle, who had blinked her eyes, eventually smiled with a meaningful smile.

“I can’t help it. I’ll go with you.”

With light, light steps, she walked forward.

“I don’t have a mood for asking to accompany you, but I’ll understand. I’m a woman with a lot of understanding.”

“·········.”

Kang Yoo-jin didn’t answer, but Estelle was happy to be alone, humming a song and reaching out to him.

“What.”

“You’re going with the lady, right?”

The eyes that looked at Yujin smiled refreshingly.

“You need an escort.”

“ha···.”

Without saying a word, he walked up to Estelle’s nose.

Perhaps because she was tall, Yujin Kang was the ideal height for Estelle to look up at.

As their eyes met, Yujin Kang raised her hand and blew a chestnut on her head.

right!

“Aww!”

“Stop talking nonsense and follow me.”

“·······.”

Then he walks past her.

Estelle cupped her aching brow, puffed out her cheeks, and stared at him.

“Chit…”

Then she rushed over, grabbed his gloved hand, and followed.

I wonder if it was okay up to that point, Kang Yu-jin did not let go of that touch.
