“The report is ideal. Head of the academy.”

“Oh, yes. Good work.”

I gave Tia information about the dungeons I investigated.

Of course, I did not mention the existence of goods in the game such as ＜Prana Piece＞ or ＜Undine’s Water Drop＞.

It’s because I couldn’t confirm if it came out to everyone, or if it only came out to me who was close to the game character.

“What do you plan to do?”

“What.”

“Are you planning to use it as a practice space?”

“no.”

Why is it so short today?

Normally, she would have complained unreasonably, but today Tia looked quite upset.

Not anger, of course. As if there was something stuck in his heart, he was distracted elsewhere.

“Why? The difficulty level seemed appropriate.”

“Does this dungeon seem normal to you?”

“It is not normal. Can’t you observe any strange phenomenon?”

A dungeon in ＜Broken Sky＞ usually consisted of one chapter.

In the case of daily dungeons, it was correct to regard the rest of the dungeons as a single area, except that they were added at a monotonous level of difficulty to ensure the supply of goods.

However, it was surrounded by strange rules, such as a one-day entry limit for each day of the week and a seemingly intimidating environment.

“Yeah, it’s not normal. But it seems that there have been a lot of dungeons of that type lately.”

“Are you worried about that?”

“right… … . The sky and the world are going crazy, right? Can you stay still?”

“Yes, stay still.”

“… … .”

At least for the time being, nothing can be done.

The invasion of the beings outside was already in progress, but there was nothing I could do here.

“I see… … . Well, I don’t understand, but it’s also a problem that you humans can’t do anything about.”

“You don’t have any energy today.”

“No, this is my default state? Since you say shit all the time, I’m going to lose my temper, you crazy bastard!”

“It is said that holding back anger is not good for the body. Head of the academy.”

“… … If I hadn’t endured it, you would have been torn to pieces and died.”

Tia is straight.

I see… … . I guess I was restrained and patient… … .

I will do it in moderation in the future.

Offer candy as a bribe.

It’s a candy that’s been selling well lately, so Tia will like it too.

Lately, Tia seems to hate me so much, so I prepared a bribe.

Isn’t there nothing good about being looked down on by the strongest person in the world?

“Aren’t you going to clean it up?”

“Well… … ? Didn’t you like sweet things?”

I thought it was because he always had candy in his mouth? So what?

Have you ever had smoking candy?

Well, since he’s a fire dragon, he might have liked cigarettes.

Because the fire is burning at the end, it may be a similar feeling to how crows like to shine.

Then, since you are an educator now, did you quit smoking to quit smoking?

“I am biting this just to highlight my youthful appearance. If I’m polymorphing in this form, even if I have an accident, I can get rid of it with the immaturity of a child.”

“You are cowardly… … .”

“Humans say efficient methods are cowardly?”

A garbage-like existence that combines the cowardice of an adult and the immaturity of a child was in front of my eyes.

“Ah, I have to go out of town soon, so don’t make an accident in the meantime? Will you really kill me this time? I’ll twist your neck and pull it out, so keep that in mind?”

“… … Don’t worry. Head of the academy.”

You’re talking really creepy things.

* * *

A week passed, and the joint practice of first-year students began.

The first practice of the first year is divided into two groups.

They were divided into combat students such as wizards, warriors, guardians, and hunters, and support classes such as priests.

The practice of combat system students was unavoidable because it was to evaluate how students led battles using surprise attacks and improvisation in a dense forest.

In the first place, it is funny that support students stand on the same stage as combat students in a 1:1 ratio.

There is something to be said for compatibility among the combat students, but it is over when the support students run into each other.

In the first place, attacking them is considered the primary goal of combat, so even if they participate in practice with combat students, they will only become walking targets.

The same goes for games.

If the shooters had the role of knocking down the opponent with powerful firepower from a distance, the guardians had the role of protecting the party members from such attacks.

And the warrior’s role is to break down the defenses of those guardians and destroy the opponent’s camp.

It is the wizard’s role to incapacitate the warriors who came in like that with high firepower and abnormal conditions.

It was a dog and pig game, but the balance between jobs was roughly right. In the end, as the inflation progressed, the all-rounder started to appear, and it was ruined.

Of course, the support characters are no different from being reduced to scarecrows the moment their allies are destroyed.

“Oh, hmm! From now on, we will again outline the common practice for the first year. Practice will take place in the forest. Each will start in a different location and points will be awarded each time you find and defeat other students.”

In short, practice is a death match under the supervision of professors.

In the first place, it is impossible to avoid combat as long as it is the practice of combat system students.

Fight to earn points and eliminate opponents until the last man remains.

That’s the outline of this exercise. I really can’t help but be savage.

“If the defense magic engraved on the cloak you provided is destroyed to 50%, it will be sent to a nearby examiner. Do you understand what I mean? This cloak not only serves to protect the students, but also means that it serves as a lifeline.”

Since the durability of the cloak and the opponent are compatible, it is not an unconditional fight when meeting, but it is also a way to use the terrain feature well to make a surprise attack or to avoid the battle itself by aiming only for the defensive magic of the cloak.

“Even if we put aside anything else, we shouldn’t forget the cloak that Tiamat Headmaster gave us.”

While he was organizing his thoughts, Prudence Loa, a professor of advanced magic who acted as the overseer of the exam, was warning the students to be careful.

He is a surprisingly busy person.

“where… … .”

Check the red cloak covering my body with [Contemplation].

Of course, since it is a magic tool made by Tia Academy, this cloak is enchanted with various spells.

It would be impossible to get hurt unless it was a dire situation. But it lags behind my dedicated equipment.

“Ah, Oz student. You are here. I was looking for it.”

“What are you doing?”

When I was drunk with the sense of victory over the magic tool alone, Professor Prudence Roa, who had just been explaining the test method, approached me.

There was a weak flame of fighting spirit in the eyes of the old professor, who was smiling benignly.

He said he was a talented person scouted by Tia Academy himself, and that tendency seems to be already visible.

“Oh, hmm! … … As you know, the performance of the cloak is not perfect. So, the use of advanced offensive magic will be prohibited, is that okay?”

If a wizard of my level uses advanced magic, it must mean that there is a chance that the defense magic engraved on the cloak will pierce through and cause damage.

“I didn’t intend to use advanced magic against the students in the first place, so it’s okay not to worry.”

To put it simply, it means that they will impose a penalty on me.

Rather good. After all, isn’t that the point of making an excuse just in case?

It’s fortunate that I can’t use advanced magic anyway.

“Heh heh heh, thank you. Then I have to go to the other students, so excuse me.”

After saying that, Professor Prudence Loa leaves.

Perhaps I am not the only one who would ask for a favor like this.

I’ll probably talk to all the students who fall under the SSR.

As evidence of that, he then turned to Alexios, a member of Class 1-2.

It was only natural that [King of Fist]’s secret skill would have the power to pierce Tia’s defense magic.

“… … .”

As I turned my gaze in the direction Professor Prudence Roa was heading, Alexios started sending me a lifelike look.

He’s a consistent guy.

It doesn’t matter if you respond, but I’m not a child.

So I just put a stop on it.

“This bird… … !”

Alexios tried to shout something, but as an adult I don’t play with children like that.

Ignoring it, I decided to go find Eleanor.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s the main character or because she’s the kind of interest, but she was relatively easy to find.

“Noah.”

“teacher? Where the hell have you been all this time!”

After finding Eleanor and approaching her, besides Lucia, there was another female student beside her.

[Contemplation – Activate]

Her wavy white hair fell down to her waist, and her eyes were a mysterious purple.

If Arrieta’s hair gave off a feeling of purity, this one felt like a cold snowy mountain.

“Hey… … . Whoop whoop whoop. nice to see you. Mr. Oz~ It’s an honor to meet you like this.”

“It’s the same class as us.”

“Oh really? Don’t mind the little things.”

Her identity is a character from ＜Dokkaebi Forest＞ and one of ＜Imae Mangryang＞, a subordinate of the Goblin King.

[SR White Goblin]

white sheep

In the game, it is one of the characters that appeared with the goblin king in ＜Dokkaebi Forest＞, which is covered in Chapter 6.

Unfortunately, the story wasn’t very important. As you can see, it was a character that came out to match the assortment with the goblin king, an SSR-grade character.

I don’t know how he got involved with Eleanor from this pasture.

I can’t figure out Eleanor’s behavior patterns.

“Why is he drunk anyway?”

“They say goblins die if they don’t drink, right? So I secretly brought it to you.”

“Is Noah a good boy?”

“right? right? Baekyang also thinks so, right? Is our Noah nice and cute?”

Eleanor, who has a strange head, and Lucia, who speaks in a strange playful tone, are enough, but one more strange guy has increased.

All three of them are empty enough to say that their heads are pure white, but their insides are eerily black.

Eleanor calmly deceives people. Behind that stupid and innocent-looking expression, there is a serpent.

Lucia blends in naturally wherever she goes. When I woke up, I could see her participating in the conversation.

When it comes to Baekyang, the goblin, there is nothing to say. She is a goblin by race. Deceiving and playing tricks on people is a daily existence.

“Sometimes I get afraid to talk to you guys.”

“is that so? Still, it’s nice to meet you, Master. I was already thinking about the operation with everyone.”

“I don’t know what kind of strategy they’re planning, but I’m asking you, so don’t get caught by the leadership team.”

“Whoops, don’t worry. This operation will be able to completely avoid even the gaze of the leaders.”

“Can’t you see the me in front of you?”

This pleasure criminal guy?

I was so confident that I thought for a moment that I was not a leader.

Still, this was enough.

If you’re making such an outright criminal plan, there’s nothing wrong with leading her to the lead department.

“Noah, would you like to go to the leadership camp and talk for a while?”

“… … No matter what, I don’t get hit in the same way. teacher.”

Eleanor began to run away with a spleen look on her face.

You shouldn’t be chasing this. Rather, that kind of attention is what she wants.

So here we have to go in a different direction.

Baek Yang, who is half-drunk and starts to doze off, gestures towards Lucia, ignoring her.

“French, Lucia. What the hell is that idiot up to?”

“ha… … . Prince of Oz. We were having fun, but could you refrain from pouring cold water on us?”

“… … It’s good that you’re on good terms with Eleanor, but things aren’t very good right now?”

“You mean Professor Gerard?”

In fact, within this narrow academy, there was no way that ＜Tenebris＞, the Empire’s intelligence agency, would not know that much information.

“What did you guys decide to do?”

“They told me to leave it alone while maintaining surveillance. Well, if it’s dangerous, I’ll intervene.”

“yes? Then, since you don’t need it, just calm down.”

“Are you thinking of going out yourself?”

In Chapter 1 of the main story, Professor Gerard, mistaking the direction of resentment, attacks Eleanor.

Words like daggers will hurt Eleanor.

Of course, you can achieve spiritual growth later through those wounds, but I think differently.

There is no need to pull out the wounds that were left as scars after finishing the resolution in the first place and injure them again.

“Yes, so tell me.”

In the game, he dies in front of Eleanor’s eyes.

In order to protect Eleanor, who was driven to the brink of death, an inferior empire intervened and killed her.

It wasn’t Gerard’s resentful voice that hurt Eleanor.

It was a feeling of remorse for not being able to protect the people of Chrysos’ kingdom again.

She will grow even when she is hurt like that. You will become mentally strong. But I don’t think there is any need for such a wound.

“As you said, I’ll go out myself, so if you don’t want to get caught up in the search, don’t hang around there.”

Being arrogant and selfish, I decided that.

* * *

At the same time as the practice began, the students were sent to different places due to Professor Aira’s magic.

I was a bit uneasy because Professor Aira desperately tried not to make eye contact while sending me flying, but fortunately I was able to arrive safely.

[Contemplation – Activate]

As soon as the practice starts, activate [Contemplation] to the maximum.

Information about where this place is and what is around it was conveyed.

[Contemplation] caught the being approaching me.

Its movement was shaky, but it was clearly directed at me.

“… … After all, Lee Mae-mang-ryang probably didn’t come just to play.”

“Hey… … . Hello Mr. Oz~”

Baekyang, a member of ＜Lee Mae Mang-ryang＞, approached me with drunken, shaky steps.

“I don’t have time to play with you. I’ll look after you when you go back now, so why don’t you go quietly?”

“Whoop whoop whoop. Don’t say anything too strong.”

“Because you look weak?”

Are you going to do that line?

I wanted to say it a few times for bluffing, but I gave up on it.

that’s a bit too much

“Doo-ryeong-nim said it. The world is wide, so check out the wide world and come.”

“Then why are you hanging out here?”

“Whoop whoop whoop. Where else has the world been reduced to a smaller size than this one?”

I understand.

＜Skientia＞, where all kinds of human groups gather from all over the world, can be said to be a small miniature of the world.

“Wouldn’t that be better? I’m a guardian recognized even in the goblin forest, so even if we let them close the distance like this.”

“I don’t think it matters much.”

The compatibility between the wizard occupation group and the guardian occupation group is ambiguous. In the first place, guardians are characters that specialize in defense.

The mage’s attack is mixed with status ailments, so it can tie her ankle to some extent, but the guardian’s ability to resist status ailments is not low either.

In other words, the fight between the two becomes a battle of deterrence and approach.

“Uhuhuhu, Oz-sama was banned from using advanced magic as a penalty, right? Still, it’s funny that you’re relaxed against me. As expected, isn’t the arrogance excessive as rumored?”

[Erosion degree 22%]

“Oman?”

Oz’s [Master of Mana] can use any skill of a wizard character.

If so, what was the most useless skill among them?

“Who is arrogant to whom now?”

Even beginner magic can inflict damage as long as there is a magic coefficient.

However, there was one really useless skill.

“Who dares to do that with such a non-tension attitude?”

The basic attack of wizard characters is [Magic Bullet] with a magic power coefficient.

I haven’t had a chance to see a physical attack other than [Magic Bullet] for quite some time.

Over the past week, I’ve been taking classes and learning intermediate magic.

but still immature

No matter how hard I try, it still takes time to draw the construction formula.

Yes, it means that I needed to make choices and focus.

That’s why I decided to focus on practicing drawing the two magical compositional formulas for the sake of my plan.

intermediate magic

[Strengthen physical ability]

In the game, the most useless skill, which had no physical attack, has now become the best attack method.

“Prejudice, a scary word. Because you were the only one who saw me as a mere wizard and acted arrogantly.”

Quaang!

Instead, he approaches Baek Yang, who is approaching him defenselessly, grabs his face, and slaps him down.

“It’s big?!”

I never thought I would engage in a hand-to-hand combat, so I wouldn’t have been able to respond.

Baek Yang, who hit her head from the back of her head, exhaled as if she were vomiting.

I would have lost if it had been head-on, but this is the price to pay for approaching too complacently while only being careful of my magic.

“I will give you one last chance. Don’t annoy me anymore and quietly get out of my sight.”

“Yes, yes… … .”

My current physical attack power after using [Physical Ability Enhancement] is close to SR grade. It means that even if the opponent is a guardian, it can inflict significant damage.
