Me, Stella and Lulu. It was around 30 minutes after the three entered the Demon Forest.

“Two orcs 300 meters to the southwest. There seems to be a colony of goblins 450 meters to the east. 800 meters to the west… .”

Already several times, Lulu ran her fingers across the floor, but it still seemed like the monster I was looking for couldn’t be detected.

They moved deep into the forest of demons, avoiding only the strong colony that was stronger than the orc colony.

The only monsters I’ve caught so far are two goblins.

It wasn’t that I went there on purpose to catch them, but they got lost and broke away from the group.

It took less than 10 seconds for Stella to cut them down with a single knife, and other than that, there was no fight, just walking in the direction he was supposed to be.

“Continue north… .”

“Wait a minute, I feel something in the north again.”

I’m trying to move the place, wondering if it’s still not showing up.

Lulu’s face, which had been prickling her ears with her fingers on the floor, suddenly turned serious.

“There is something mysterious about 900 meters to the north. Oh, no, wait, not 900 meters… .”

“yes?”

“700 meters… 600 meters… 500 meters… .”

Seeing Lulu getting more and more embarrassed, we finally figured out that we had entered his domain.

“Oh, they’re coming this way so fast! What should I do with this?”

“What can I do, it has come.”

It was a battle that he did not want to avoid, on the contrary.

Sseuseuk. The sound of rubbing the floor came closer and closer to the point where I could hear it in my ears.

“Stella, Lulu. Stay away from me for now.”

“Gwa, are you okay? Isn’t it an unknown opponent?”

“I can deal with it alone. It can distract him if you are nearby, so keep your distance.”

“Ah, yes.”

“All right.”

After confirming that Stella and Lulu were falling by my side, I prepared to deal with the target monsters approaching in earnest.

After concentrating magic on the staff in his right hand and holding the broadsword in his left hand in reverse.

Within seconds of that, a guy in the form of a giant snake appeared in front of his eyes.

Opening a mouth big enough to swallow at least one person.

“Now, Giant Boa?!”

“Senior Conrad!”

Stella and Lulu had been evacuated in advance, so the giant boa’s target was naturally fixed towards me.

As soon as the huge snout opened its mouth to swallow me, I immediately thrust my left hand into its mouth.

Poo-wook. With the sound of the blade penetrating the roof of his mouth, he stabbed his one-handed sword all at once into his brain.

At the same time, I brought the staff that had accumulated mana to the guy’s neck and detonated the magic bullet that accumulated energy.

after a single explosion.

The target of the day fell with his head and body completely separated.

With my left hand inside, the mouth wide open as much as I could.

“it’s over. Let’s go back now.”

“Wow, wow… .”

A vague exclamation of exclamation came out of Stella’s mouth, as if she hadn’t expected to catch it with two attacks.

“You really catch it by yourself.”

Lulu muttered as if she wasn’t too surprised, but the tip of her tail waved gently as if she saw something strange.

“Now all we have to do is take this corpse to the guild. I’m thinking of sharing it moderately, but can you help me?”

“all right!”

As soon as Stella heard my words, she started tying a rope around him.

In the meantime, I had other work to do, so it was time to finish it.

“Stop paying attention and come out.”

Ever since I entered the guild, I wondered if I could feel a strange energy.

I never thought I’d been chasing you this deep.

At first, I thought for a moment that it might be another student training in the Demon Forest.

Anyone who could have followed me this far must have had a different purpose.

This presence, especially felt from behind, had memories of encountering it most recently.

“Yeah?”

“What are you talking about? suddenly.”

The moment Stella and Lulu turn their heads toward me, not knowing why.

Through the bushes, a shadow the size of a person stepped out toward us.

“Uh, uh… ?!”

“Hey, Mi, you’re a crazy dog!”

Just two days ago. The guy who fell for me in the evaluation match.

The 2-meter-tall giant crawled out of hiding in the shadows of the forest, and as soon as he met my eyes, he smiled unsettlingly.

“It’s good to sell, kid.”

Even if the battle started right now, I could feel the obvious hostility in his eyes that wouldn’t be strange.

Read at noblemtl.com

Judging from his personality, it must have been rather strange that he didn’t hold a grudge against me.

Even taking that into account, the guy’s atmosphere was much more savage than I thought.

Unlike the last time, the blade of the sharpened greatsword shone coolly as if it represented his feelings.

Perhaps it came to me to see the end in a true sense.

“Conrad, I can’t believe why that human followed you all this way… .”

“Perhaps what you think is right.”

For more than five years, I’ve been fighting a life-or-death battle against people and things like people.

I could fully feel the kind of gaze Dyke was sending.

A huge mass of murderous intent felt not only in the eyes, but throughout the body.

Even though the injury he received in the evaluation match hadn’t healed yet, he crawled out of nowhere.

It must have been that he was pursuing me with the intention of killing me.

“Mi, I’m not crazy, really!”

“Yeah, I’m crazy. Get bitten by a crazy bastard.”

As if he had nothing more to lose, Dyke teased Lulu as if threatening.

“Senior Conrad. Together with me… .”

“Don’t talk nonsense and avoid it with Lulu. Because that’s the guy I have to deal with.”

“Do you want to gain some weight because you are a man?”

Even though he had already shown the difference in his skills once, he was a guy who didn’t know how to give up and rushed at him.

This time, I had to show him the overwhelming difference in skill and lose his fighting spirit.

Or literally make it into a body that can no longer attack.

If I didn’t deal with it clearly, it would bother me many times in the future.

If I try to defeat him with the help of Stella and other colleagues, he will probably not give up and will attack me again.

In order to break this annoying chain, it was what I had to do from beginning to end.

“You owe a lot to me last time, huh?”

“Yes. It was a serious injury that even activated death prevention magic, so you must have memorized a few faces of the priests.”

“Yeah, I watched it very much.”

It was a venomous answer, but it wasn’t an answer that evoked fear or fear.

Rather, it served as an opportunity for me to be convinced that there was no basis for him to pursue me all this way.

If he had a hidden secret, he probably wouldn’t have had enough time to make fun of him.

“Did you ask the priests? Is it not too late to walk the path of the clergy now?”

“You are also a first-class priest in the way you flutter your snout. Bastard, are you really going to quit being a wizard and become a priest? yes?”

“I like freestyle poetry more than fixed prayers.”

The one who pulled out the greatsword that was half embedded in the floor pushed the blade toward me.

“The days after you lost to the bastard were like dogs, huh?”

“Then you shouldn’t have supported me.”

“I’m wasting a lot of my time crushing those bastards one by one when they come and argue about insignificant things as idiots lost to the Ministry of Magic.”

“Then you won’t win.”

“On the other hand, you went on a hunting date with two women and fell asleep. You’re very flesh, this kid. ”

“Well, isn’t it natural for a normal woman to be attracted to a more capable man?”

I’m sorry for Stella and Lulu, but their existence was a good material to arouse Dyke’s inferiority complex.

I also did not shy away from commenting and calmly responded to his words.

“Your arrogance is sky-high because you only won once.”

Dyke still didn’t take his eyes off me.

With the bayonet in front of his body, he lowered his stance as much as possible.

It looked like it was preparing to attack me at any time.

I also taunted him after correcting the broadsword in my hand.

“That’s why I told you how it would be to change jobs to a priest. do you know You can’t compete with me by force, but I wonder if you can win with your faith… .”

Chew. Two pairs of shoes bounced off the damp dirt floor.

I wondered why he was babbling on his snout that couldn’t speak properly for so long.

It was probably the plan from the beginning to draw attention with words and attack while I was not paying attention.

When I first met him, I thought he was a man with minimal pride.

I felt a lot of disappointment at Dyke, who had become this bad in just a few days.

In the first place, the moment he followed me to such a deep place with the intent to kill, even if he crossed the line, he crossed the line for a long time.

“Damn it, you damn bastard!!”

It was a blow that aimed precisely at the middle of my body.

It would be an attack that would split into Conrad and Perdalos if nothing was done.

My footsteps did not move a single step on the ground even as he approached right in front of me.

or failed to respond. It wasn’t for such a stupid reason that his feet didn’t fall because of fear.

There was no need to avoid it, so I just didn’t avoid it.

“I’ll try to block it again with that shoddy sword… .”

bang. An explosion was caused by the magic released from the blade of the sword I was holding.

The combination of fire magic and wind magic used to defeat Dyke the other day.

I reproduced the explosion magic I made by reducing the scale a little on my blade.

Dyke’s body, unable to cope with the sudden explosion, bounced off without even touching mine.

“hahahaha!”

With a muddy scream, Dyke’s posture with the flying greatsword was disrupted for an instant.

Before he repositions himself and launches his second attack.

I approached him first and swung my broadsword at him.

“Kahah!”

He hurriedly fixed his sword and tried to parry my attack.

There was no way I could block it by rushing into a halfway posture that I couldn’t accept even in a situation where I had a proper posture.

Even though it was the second time, Dyke’s body was blown backwards again with strong power.

He almost lost the greatsword he was holding with both hands.

“This, you crazy, crazy bastard!”

bang! Kwakwang! bang!

My sword blade touched Dyke’s blade, causing loud explosion magic again and again.

Dyke’s grip, which received strong shocks and vibrations in succession, was getting weaker and weaker.

Finally, I swung the explosive magic that increased the power a little more at the guy.

At the same time as the loudest explosion so far occurred, Dyke’s greatsword flew into the sky.

“Aren’t you ashamed that the swordsman lost his sword?”

“Bee, you cowardly bastard! Fighting with artifacts is against the law, you bastard!”

“An artifact? When did I write the artifact?”

“That sword in your hand! It must be some kind of artifact that explodes with every attack! Otherwise, there’s no way it could have exploded so many times in such a short time!”

I was fighting purely with my own strength and magic, and I was misunderstood, so I wasn’t very happy.

“Sorry, but this is not an artifact. I’m just using magic at the right time.”

That’s why he kindly explained the principles of magic from one to ten to the swordsman’s senior, who was clearly misunderstanding something.

“It is an explosion magic created by combining fire magic and wind magic. If you activate the appropriate magic at the same time, it has quite strong explosive power.”

“It doesn’t explode every time the blade touches it, it’s just that I used it at the right timing on purpose. Explosion magic can only flow power in one direction by adding a little physical force.”

“And you said that it’s impossible to use strong magic multiple times in a short time, but it’s not that difficult if you know the principle.”

As if proving the principle, a large circle was drawn in the air with the sword, and each time the tip of the sword passed, nine different types of magic were created.

“If you can memorize multiple spells at the same time, it’ll look like you’re deploying them with a very slight time difference in this way.”

“Crazy, really crazy bastard… .”

Dyke’s gaze seemed to be looking at something that wasn’t human, which made me feel both satisfied and slightly displeased at the same time.

“Senior Dyke… . No, Dijk, you bastard.”

The title of senior was too much for this guy.

Of course, it was a future that couldn’t happen, but what if that guy had succeeded in killing me?

Perhaps even the witnesses, Stella and Lulu, would never have let it go.

Even if it wasn’t common to go missing while hunting in the Demon Forest.

That’s because it wasn’t something that didn’t happen at all.

In other words, it meant that there was no place like here to not leave evidence.

The tip of my broadsword pierced Dyke’s thigh, which was lying on the floor.

“Quaaagh!”

“You son of a b*tch. If you killed me, what would Stella and Lulu do?”

“Aagh! Aagh!”

“You ask what I was trying to do, you bastard!”

“Quaaagh! That, stop!!”

It’s like letting out a loud scream just because you stabbed your thigh with a knife.

I’ve never been beaten before, so I’m sure I’m not immune to pain.

“Hey, Dyke.”

“Why why?”

“Bastard, are you short on words?”

“Sorry, sorry… . Kaaa… !!”

The performance of the etiquette injector, which had already been stabbed in the thigh several times, was certain.

Dyke knelt down and begged my forgiveness.

“Sin, sorry! Note, I don’t even know the subject… Pe, I sincerely apologize for going against Perdalos-nim’s feelings.”

The real fear of dying made even that dyke crawl.

You must have already planned to kill me and destroy the evidence from the moment you entered this forest.

He seemed to have barely realized that he too could be put in the opposite position.

“Because I am more compassionate than you can imagine, I will give you two options.”

“Two, two choices?”

“I’ll only say it once, so choose wisely.”

“Yeah, … hahahaha!”

After pulling out the broadsword from his thigh, I spread my two fingers in front of him.

“One, leave your life here to me, and return to nature as the corpse becomes a meal for the monsters.”

“Mo, save my life! Please save me!”

For Dyke, who prays so that his palms become his feet, he kindly guided us to the second option that could of course save his life.

“Two, go back to the academy right now, go through the procedures for dropping out, and don’t appear in front of me even once in your life.”

“Now, drop out? Only one semester left until graduation?”

“Then let’s just end it here.”

I stabbed the drawn sword straight into the guy’s opposite thigh.

Dyke screamed and shook his head at the same time as he struggled to save himself.

“aaagh! Ah Okay! I’m going to go out right now and drop out! Got it!”

“I said it was short.”

“All right! I will never be in front of Perdalos-sama again… . Aww!”

As soon as he retrieved the broadsword from his thigh, Dyke hurriedly rose from his fallen position.

He seemed to be looking at me right away, and then quickly moved in the direction of the guild.

It was an effortless movement, as if there was no hesitation left.

He even forgot to pick up the greatsword he had dropped.

Well, since he’s going to drop out as soon as he goes back, is it just a luxury for a black guy like this?

Still, the material seemed to be a good sword, so I thought I could make something useful if I reprocessed it.

“It’s over now. Let’s take the prey and go back.”

The moment I looked back at the two of them after the work with Dyke was over, Lulu asked me a question first.

“You, did you mean to be mean on purpose in the last evaluation match?”

“Half of it. Still, my name is the swordsmanship department, so I thought I should show some level of dealing with swords.”

“Really nonsense… . what is it really… .”

Lulu muttered to herself something filled with admiration and futility, as if what she had seen was in vain.

“Senior Conrad was a person who had not only firm convictions, but also enough strength to carry through with him.”

Stella, whose eyes looked at me slightly changed, only spat out embarrassing compliments.
