Chapter 24 – 9. What if Eric From the General Store Becomes an Instructor? (One)
And after a while.
Jeong Ha-eun couldn’t believe what had just happened.
‘Uh… What happened…’
He’s probably only been training for about 15 seconds. All the cadets attacked Instructor Eric at once.
The association president’s business card was a coveted item no matter who saw it.
The only pervert girl named Iris had a puzzled look on her face as if she didn’t know what it meant.
Soon, she followed everyone else and created a spell.
It only took 10 seconds for the cadets to attack Eric all at once. As expected, he was a cadet of Nova, a group of elite hunters.
‘No. ‘That’s not it at all.’
And instructor Eric must have had a hard time due to the cadets’ attacks.
Instructor Eric, standing on the training ground, looked very fine.
A sword strike using mana and Jeong Ha-eun’s magic bullets. And even magic spells. Although multiple attacks attacked him at once. He didn’t have a single scratch on him.
Like someone going for a walk. Instructor Eric had a relaxed expression.
‘Man… I didn’t even use the mana shield. How?’
Since he declared that he would not use mana in the first place. Mana Shield is impossible. In fact, there was no blue radiation characteristic of the Mana Shield.
Belatedly, Jeong Ha-eun remembered a scene she had seen a little while ago.
‘No… This doesn’t make sense.’
Eric moves very leisurely, almost to the point of slowness. He dodged all the cadets’ attacks.
Among them, of course, was Seo Soo-ah’s attack.
Jeong Ha-eun has sensitive five senses.
So, even with his visual acuity, he is considered top-notch among awakened people. A sword strike through ‘speed’ that cannot be avoided in any way.
However, Instructor Eric dodged Seo Soo-ah’s sword strikes as easily as if he was breathing.
‘What on earth happened?’
Of course, his attack completely missed.
Your own special remote strike weapon linked to the Mana Contract.
That Mana Automatic Rifle too. There wasn’t a single hit.
It was the very moment after a brief reminiscence.
‘Dangerous!’
Instinct warned me.
Instructor Eric just avoided it. He didn’t even fight back.
However, one cadet from B Platoon was close to him. He once again tried to attack Eric with his blunt object.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
However, something unbelievable happened.
The cadet who was about to swing the mace stopped in place.
“Hee… Hee hee…”
And then he screamed as if the wind had escaped him.
As if I had a really bad chill. He hurriedly dropped his body.
It looked like prey that had encountered the fierce eyes of a tiger.
Of course, Instructor Eric didn’t move his hand.
‘What happened? Does instructor Eric know how to use black magic?’
There seem to be a lot of gaps.
So much so that I thought it was a coincidence that I avoided the attack just a moment ago.
As if it would work even if she swung her bare fist like this. That guy looked extremely weak.
If only one effective hit were made through the loophole like that.
You can obtain the association president’s business card, which is a valuable item. Although her greed continued to tempt her.
– You must not attack Instructor Eric.
Her instincts kept warning her. Meanwhile, other cadets attempted to attack first.
Just like her first cadet. The moment she was about to attack, everything about her froze in place like ice.
Iris was also trying to fire a long-distance spell from afar. He stopped with a puzzled expression.
“I… My body feels strange…”
In the end, all four cadets who fired the second attack fell on the spot.
***
It happened in just 15 seconds.
Suah Seo. Yuyena. And even himself and an unknown male cadet from Team B. There were only four people left who did not fall.
The four quickly walked away from Eric.
Jeong Ha-eun quickly grasped the situation.
‘I just dodged the first attack. ‘What did instructor Eric do when the cadets attacked again?’
Curse. So, if it is a black magic type spell. There may have been some kind of hint. The second attack becomes the trigger, and so on.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a curse. Rather than the nausea characteristic of the curse. Because fear, which is an instinct as a living thing, felt stronger.
‘What do we do. If things continue like this, we can’t attack Instructor Eric.’
If you try to attack like this. Because I was sure that I would end up like those cadets who fell ugly on the floor.
At that time. Instructor Eric looked around at the four remaining people for a moment.
“There are four people left. “It’s a little disappointing.”
And Eric, who retired four people without even moving his hand.
He said it with a friendly expression, as if nothing had happened.
“But does that mean there are at least half of people who vaguely know how to live?”
He muttered like that. The expression changed in an instant.
“But my life just a moment ago was at best that of an A-class demonic beast. Unfortunately, your goal is. “Because it’s a more magical beast than that.”
And Jeong Ha-eun felt fear for a moment.
‘Um… That instructor Eric… Is he human?’
A warning vaguely felt in her heart. It has become a reality. His eyes changed and he looked at the remaining four people and said.
“And now is the life of an S-class demon beast.”
The moment Eric finished speaking. Jeong Ha-eun couldn’t stand there.
I heard a terrible tinnitus. And lost control of her body.
Dump-
Her legs gave out and she fell to her knees on the training ground. The other cadets did the same.
Even Seo Soo-ah knelt down at the training ground. Just one person. Only one unnamed male cadet from Team B survived.
“Huh? I never thought there would be a cadet who could endure. Still…”
Although he said it as if it was unexpected. Soon, the cadet also made eye contact with Instructor Eric. He collapsed on the spot.
And Eric said it in a ridiculous tone. He sighed.
“Everyone thought I was a rookie. Could it be that I can’t even endure such a simple life? This much without even waving a finger? “How can we get any real-world training when everyone is so weak?”
Although it was a very insulting remark to Jeong Ha-eun, who had high self-esteem. Now she had no choice but to admit it.
Instructor Eric didn’t even lift a finger. He made eight cadets retire just with his eyes.
“If this is the case, there will be no point in training any more. “I’m not qualified to receive practical training.”
And he continued speaking with a cool expression.
“In the dungeon. And you never know what will happen in the field where the devil appears. What if the person in front of you was really an S-class demon instead of me. “You all died here.”
It was an undeniable statement.
Because of the life that instructor Eric exudes. Because he was so overcome with fear that he couldn’t move his body at all.
“Remember that feeling you felt a moment ago. And not living as strong as now. Even a very faintly hidden life. You should be able to feel it.”
All the cadets were silent.
“It doesn’t matter how good you are with weapons. And it doesn’t matter how good you are with mana. There’s only one thing that allows you to survive on the battlefield. It’s just a matter of whether you can react sensitively to this deadly force.”
With those words, Instructor Eric turned around.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he spoke to the cadets.
“The opposite is the same thing. If you don’t really intend to kill the demons and villains. In the end, it’s weak guys like you who will die. You shouldn’t forget that either. And next time, don’t do it clumsily like today, but kill me properly. “Go ahead with your thoughts. If things continue like this, I won’t have the heart to teach you at all.”
With those words, Instructor Eric left the training site.
Only after his appearance completely disappeared. Jeong Ha-eun could barely breathe.
“Instructor Eric… What on earth are you doing? Are you really a class A hunter?”
The facial expressions of her other cadets were all the same as hers.
Even Seo Soo-ah, who always looked at Eric with an irritatingly in-love expression. Now his eyes had become serious.
‘It can’t be like this.’
Eric was not just a pervert.
A strong person she had never imagined. And she had a hunch.
‘If it were Eric. ‘If I learn from Eric, I might be able to surpass Seo Su-ah.’
Not any high-ranking hunter she invited as a tutor. He has never shown this type of discipline.
And her sensitive five senses. Because she’s never been so thrillingly aroused before.
Jeong Ha-eun, today, I hope to live as instructor Eric personally experienced.
Once again she had it tattooed all over her body.
***
My day as an instructor passed quickly.
I finished my first training session lightly and returned home.
The first training actually took less than a minute.
I didn’t sweat at all, so it seemed like I didn’t even need to shower.
Still, after taking a light shower. I thought about the training from earlier.
‘Training to experience forced living. ‘It wouldn’t have been bad for Su-ah.’
I think the problem was that I counseled Sua too much about her concerns during her freshman year.
According to the original work, Su-ah became a passionate cadet. As she goes through countless fights with fellow cadets. She was supposed to be a stronger prosecutor than she is now.
Of course, based on the results I checked, I was first among cadets in terms of sparring and actual training.
I didn’t like it.
‘She’s not as active as Su-ah in the original.’
Is it because of Suah’s image as a model student now? It seemed like he was too conscious of his surroundings.
‘No. Are you really conscious of me?’
In that case, I am an instructor. There was a need to treat her more strictly.
Su-ah’s enemies aren’t just her immediate academy cadets.
‘Just thinking about the first terrorist attack the day after tomorrow.’
Opening general meeting.
There, cadets hold department meetings held by their respective major departments.
Of course, since everyone is an adult, there is a drinking party afterward. The first terrorist attack occurs at the after-party.
‘Villains disguised as cadets carry out terrorist attacks.’
Even Su-ah in the original story couldn’t protect all of her motives from that terrorist attack.
The villains poisoned the after-party food. Su-ah’s reaction speed slowed down and she was unable to respond properly.
And that becomes a huge trauma for Su-ah in the original.
‘Well, it’s no problem now.’
I have already prepared a way to deal with that poison through the general store network.
And today’s training would have been helpful to Su-ah. As for today. Because Su-ah will think very seriously about living.
The look in Sua’s eyes that I briefly checked before leaving the training ground.
Her rival Jeong Ha-eun’s eyes also appealed to her.
‘In this way, the variables of terrorism have been reduced as much as possible.’
Above all, an unexpected cadet helped me.
An unknown male cadet from Team B. After today’s training is over. He sent an email to my smartphone.
– As expected, you are right, my lord. I continued to search for my lord.
The cadet from the 13th Platoon.
Although he was not a major character in the original work. Unexpectedly, like Sua and Jeong Ha-eun, I was able to survive to some extent.
And surprisingly, he was my right hand man in a past life. He was a mercenary named Krael.
‘I never thought there would be another possessor other than me and Iris.’
I checked the system notifications later. Like Iris, the notification had already been sent.
I was feeling discouraged by the reality of not being able to see Iris for a while. That notification was buried and I only found out about it now.
‘Anyway, Krael is a member of the 13th Platoon. It’s a huge benefit to me.’
Krael was a faithful subordinate who assisted me so that I could become the mercenary king.
If he was there, Part 2 would be nothing but a waste of the main character.
It will be a great help in preventing countless incidents. The reward the goddess gave me was more useful than I thought.
When I was thinking about the terrorist attack two days later.
An electronic sound was heard from the front door.
Ding ding ding ding-
Someone opened the front door. It was Iris.
“Hee… Hee!!”
And Iris made eye contact with me in my room. When she saw me her body trembled like an aspen.
After soothing her a little.
I remember what happened among the cadets of the 13th Platoon. She even heard it from her.
