98 – Raid Practice (2)

Dark skin, graying hair.

Sharp eyes. And the thin, big ears that symbolize elves…

“… “

Darian, the dark fairy who received an order from Marcosias to find out the truth of the destruction of the 14th camp, was able to reach Mount Papes – the ruins of the sanctuary.

Originally, if you are a high-level demon, it is a matter of time for you to have your location specified when you are this close to humans.

However, since she was a dark elf, it could be said that she was free in this area.

And next to Darian, a dreamer with an appearance that seemed to be between an adult and a minor was following her around.

Although she was expelled from Pandemonium, the small horns on her head seemed to be insisting, “I was a third-rate demon too!”

Anyway, this succubus… He was making a fuss about her as if he was surprised again and again.

“Did you do this by yourself? ?!”

“…… “

In the long silence, Darian completed a simple dark magic circle on the altar of [Blood Ashes].

‘… Looking forward to it.’

[Eternal Flame] 1St floor, waiting room.

Prior to the launch of the raid, the cadets were greeting the party members assigned to the same group.

[Blood Ashes] Subjugation is simple.

First of all, the distribution of personnel,

It is a group of 6 people,

It consists of a total of 6 groups and 36 members.

Each party member consists of one main tank who can withstand [Descent], The direct physical attack of [Blood Ashes].

This is done by an experienced person called from the Divine Valhalla, that is, the party leader.

Next, one wizard who can handle [Barrier] Magic to block [Blood Ash]’S [Afterimage Flame].

This is a veteran recruited from the Eternal Flame.

According to the normal situation from , One person is not enough, so the one who achieved the best score in protection magic in Claris will take this role instead.

‘This foreshadowing is causing problems… ‘

Next, there is one healing cadet.

The remaining 3 characters are filled with a ranged shooter and wizard to match the flying boss.

[Blood Ash] Flies around and uses a pattern that repeats assault and descent.

When it descends, the main tank with a shield uses [Divine Protection] To block it,

Afterwards, when they rise up to try to descend to another group, they take a long-distance interception strategy.

In a word, the group targeted by aggro is in tanking mode, while the rest of the group tries to attack.

This is repeated infinitely by four groups.

In the end, I only believe in the Divine Knight of Valhalla and the Wizard of Eternal Flame, who are assigned to each party,

If the three distance dealers do their job well,

It means that the subjugation can be completed safely without taking any effective damage.

-Ah, hello.

-Hi! Do you listen to the same culture as me? See you here!

-Oh, that’s right…

The conversation around you is getting louder.

Multiple parties in the raid. Soon, breathing is life.

And in order to work together, trusting each other is a prerequisite.

Therefore, since each group needed ice breaking,

In the waiting room, Taron and other officials moved out of their seats, leaving only Clarisse’s cadets to make friends briefly.

-Aren’t you nervous about the first raid?

-Well, it doesn’t seem like a big deal for a monster.

– Still!

A lively atmosphere with stories of bloody ashes and academy life.

The elders of each position started to call the next group after discussing with each other.

“I will call the 4th member.”

“… Timon Zigirta, Lev Deneck, Violet Decrescent… “

.

.

.

For better or for worse, I was in the same group as Violet, who is a big senior and head of the shooting department.

If things were right, I wouldn’t be participating in this raid in the first place.

It’s like the last time you came here, is it because of me?

It was then.

“It’s been a while. Lev Ball.”

“?”

After the ball practice day, Aveline, a blonde knight whom I met after a long time.

“Yes. Long time no see.”

She was smiling at me, but she wasn’t laughing.

Last day,

– Aveline wants an escort.

-Aveline!

-Please sing a song with me!

-Now, wait!

Because I gave her Abelin and her dance to her gang of unknown men.

In terms of prom etiquette, you could say it’s the worst.

Abel Lin told me she kept her dignity as best she could.

“It will be remembered for a long time as the escort of that day, Soin.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

Behind Aveline, who was still smiling, a man appeared who recalled my memories.

“Aveline, what is it? What about this parasitic brother?”

“Lord Timon, you are here.”

Sparse hair from the sideburns to the chin.

‘Ah, that’s right, it was a child… ?’

Probably a late-born classmate who is quite old.

Timon Zigirta.

One of the men who courted Aveline at the Liberal Medical Center,

In , Selena tells her that she did not even learn wind archery, and she is the villain of this chapter who trolls.

In the end, because of that guy’s negligence, an accident occurred to another cadet during the raid.

Here, Selena says that she is also responsible for not protecting her, and it becomes more of an opportunity to hang on to her wind archery.

My intervention has changed the affairs a little, so this is what it looks like.

Aveline introduced me to Timon with a slight smile.

“This is Lord Lev Denek. Let me introduce you… I can say that he is a great person. Even though it’s a ‘Class B’, it’s to the extent that I’m participating in this raid with the professor’s recommendation.”

“What? Is he a child?”

At that moment, the face of a man named Timon frowned.

More than that, what’s interesting is that Aveline’s accent has subtly changed to a ladylike one.

The one line that introduced me didn’t contain swear words, but it contained a lot of things.

Even though I was in grade B, it means that you treated me carelessly, giving me a bunch of prom etiquette.

Timon, whose bean pods had been thoroughly washed by Aveline, stepped forward as if glaring at me.

“Yeah. Oh, he’s such a great guy.”

“?”

“Did you play tricks on Aveline with just that much skill?”

What a trick. Words are harsh.

I asked as if it was annoying.

“That’s okay, can’t you say thank you first?”

“What?”

“If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to talk to Aveline. Forever.”

“Have you finished talking?”

“My mouth hurts.”

“Ha! On the subject of a child who was excommunicated from the family… !”

He looked at my face and started growling.

It’s a little burdensome.

It seems that Aveline was trying to blackmail her with her family, or that she was investigating my background.

By the time you think it’s so messy.

-Poof!

Like a cliché, his fist flew at me.

There was no need to dodge.

– Tup!

-!

– Pudeuk.

“Sleep… heck… Let go… Big!”

– Cudangtang!

Because Selena grabbed him by the wrist and made him fall down.

“Ugh… Evil! Ouch!”

“… “

Wrinkles began to form on Timon’s face.

He appealed with a blushing face.

“Three… Selena! Why are you like this? A royal class like us… That’s right… “

“No. Now is.”

Selena let out her words in an emotionless way, as if she wasn’t worth dealing with.

She must have graduated from the Royal Class long ago.

Because it’s a half elf… I hate discrimination.

‘He’s definitely grown up.’

Above all, since he has learned wind archery, his fighting power must be higher than I thought.

“Okay. Got it… !”

When Timon’s appeal turned into a plea, Selena released her powers as well.

And, while Selena was shaking her hand,

-Tadadat!

“You, you can’t! City… Fuck! Let’s get one hit!!”

-!!

The guy jumped at me again with a hesitant attitude.

‘He’s crazy.’

With my admiration,

“Stop it.”

This time, a woman with an enchanting aristocratic scent appeared in front of me.

* * *

-Violet? Didn’t you say you were busy?

-…

A worrying question from Professor Diana.

The reason Violet, who is busy every day, applied for the [Blood Ashes] Raid was simple.

Lev Denek.

It was because he was participating.

Indeed, the fact that he was Professor Diana’s exclusive disciple was not a lie.

Because it was a relationship where I could even get a letter of recommendation whenever I wanted.

But… Only grade B?

‘… I don’t understand.’

But, it doesn’t matter. One hundred words are unbelievable.

If you participate in this [Blood Ashes] Subjugation,

You will naturally get a glimpse of his skills.

Ultimately, it was not a coincidence that Lev Deneck and Violet were formed together in Group 4, it was her influence.

.

.

.

“…?”

Violet’s target.

Someone is threatening Lev Denek.

-You are… Fuck! Let’s get one hit!!

Then rush.

-!

Without even thinking, Violet immediately moved and stood in front of Lev.

– Bang!

“Billion!”

With a heavy sound, Timon’s forehead collided with Violet’s wind protection.

Timon is a protective magician.

His physical abilities aren’t that great because he blindly believes in his own protection magic.

-Kudang!

So his body stumbled backwards a few steps before he lost his balance and sat down.

Fortunately, Eternal Flame’s waiting room is always kept clean, so he never got dust on his clothes.

– What are you talking about?

-What is it?

At the unexpected thumping sound, the eyes of the cadets around me began to gather here.

Perhaps Timon was embarrassed, he tried to stand up right away,

“Fuck, nu, who are you!”

He had no choice but to slip once more after realizing that the floor was polished to the point of being polished, and that the target he had cursed at was a senior member of the committee.

“… Bar, senior Violet?”

“You would have said it was time to increase intimacy.”

“That, that doesn’t make sense! My shooter is grade B! The entire raid would be in danger!”

At Timon’s words, Violet let out a small sigh as if it was annoying.

She, who is the vessel to defeat the demon lord, has to accept the childlike heart of a first-year cadet.

She answered with no mercy.

“All of the cadets who came here received recommendations from professors. What you are talking about now is an obvious excess of authority.”

“Ha, but… !”

“Then, as a rule, shall we report directly to Captain Baek? From my point of view, it only seems to be an act that causes discord within the team and undermines morale… “

“…… “

Abelin’s expression wriggled at Violet’s one word, and Timon pressed her mouth shut.

“If you step down now, there will be no further punishment. And back to Abelin Balantes, her own Joe. This is a warning as an elder.”

– What, what’s going on?

-Don’t you know? Did that boy suddenly jump in?

-It’s Timon Zigirta. Let’s just say that he has a bit of a bad personality among girls.

“What, what are you looking at?!”

As the attention was drawn, Timon, who eventually became embarrassed, looked around and looked for his ally.

“Ah, where is Abel…Lin…?” ?”

But Abelin had already returned to her own group.

.

.

.

The gray-haired man showed no signs of embarrassment.

She’s just making an expression that she knew that.

‘Whoa.’

Violet was relieved that things didn’t go too far.

I’m busy anyway, but I refuse to write a police report.

Of course, Violet’s intervention was not perfect.

Even if fighting is annoying by nature, you should listen to the opinions of both sides.

However, she totally sided with Lev.

If there is something wrong with him and you have to ask him for his negligence.

Worst case scenario, you’ll be kicked out of the raid, and then you’ll have no reason to come see him in person.

Violet opened her mouth, looking at Rev’s dark eyes.

“You… “

“…?”

“… “

Please be careful with your actions.

I tried to say, but I couldn’t bear to say it.

‘By the way… ‘

Because an additional question popped into her head.

‘Why didn’t you avoid it?’

Did you know someone would step in?

Even considering that, the expression on his face is so nonchalant.

Do you really have hidden skills or just good guts…

Confused.

-…

At that time, announcements through magic tools began to be sent to the waiting room.

– Notice to Claris Academy raid practice cadets. There will be a launching ceremony in a while, so follow the Elder’s instructions…

To solve Violet’s curiosity…

The subjugation of the [Blood Ashes] Has begun.
