Chapter 29 – 29.Skill Test (4)
***
After leaving the guild, I returned to Cats Store.
This is to find out whether the loot farmed from bandits, excluding the hood, can be sold at the merchant.
As a result of asking about the daggers, knives, and bows used by the bandits in front of Sasha.
“Hmm~ I guess it would be better to go to the blacksmith for something like this.”
“Why?”
“Well, if you’re going to buy it as a product, it has to be in good condition, right? But most of these things are worn out because they’re used a lot. It’s better to sell them to a blacksmith and melt down the iron and recycle it.”
“I see.”
Unless it is a famous sword, it would be difficult to sell such loot to a merchant.
This was different from games.
“Then how about this?”
I have heard several times that Belken has the strength of a knight.
So, the sword used by Belken may be valuable enough to be sold to a merchant.
“Oh, this is what you mean? Hmm, hmm… I think it would be better to leave this to the blacksmith as well.”
“Why?”
“No, it’s a good knife, but… Look here. It’s slightly cracked, right?”
Sasha pointed to the part of the blade close to her handle.
“It must have been struck by something strong, but if it cracks like this, it can’t be sold as a product. Still, the metal is good, so it will be sold at a high price at the blacksmith shop!”
“I see.”
It seems that the sword was damaged due to the shock wave from the Jeolchang.
Let’s further control the power of the chant from next time.
“But did you get this kind of knife from a bandit? Do you think even the bandit executives use good knives like these days?”
“It is Belken’s sword.”
“… Yes?”
“That’s the sword Belken used.”
“If it’s Velken… Is it the Velken of the Velken Dan?”
“Yes. To test my skills, I destroyed Velkendan.”
Sasha stood silently like a stationary machine and then opened her mouth.
“My brother is talking as if he went for a walk and destroyed some bandit group. But… Is this true?”
“Why should I lie to you?”
“Because you want to see my cute surprised face?”
Sasha doesn’t need to be surprised because she’s cute.
“No.”
“No, that means we really destroyed it…” ” Wow…”
Sasha looked up at her blankly, then looked at me as if she had gathered her thoughts for a moment and said.
“I thought it was unusual from the first time we met, but you’re truly amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen someone eliminate a group of bandits just to test that skill.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Hehe, next time, we won’t expect bandits~ We’ll expect monsters that can make money for us as well~.”
“I will do that.”
“Hehe, then~ Since the time is perfect, how about a quick drink at the cafe? I’ll also order cookies, which is my brother’s favorite~.”
“That’s good.”
While I’m eating, let’s also pack cookies for Pamela.
***
After chatting with Shasha at the cafe and processing the loot at the blacksmith shop, she returned to Lucedia Academy.
I knocked on the door in front of Pamela’s room.
Knock.
“W-Who are you…” ” Ah, Mr. Sihan!”
This time, Pamela gently opened her door and peeked out her face.
“I’m back. I bought the cookies from this cafe. Please take them.”
“Thank you! Bo, are you done with your business?”
“Okay. Have you had dinner?”
“Oh, no. Not yet.”
“Then let’s eat together.” Have a snack later.”
“Yes, yes! Go, go!”
We went to Pamela’s restaurant and had a meal together.
Pamela glanced at me during the meal and asked me.
“Um, um… What was that business you said you had to do? Ah! If you don’t feel comfortable talking about it, you don’t have to say it! If you don’t want people like me to know, it’s okay! My stamina is bad for no reason, and I’m exhausted today too. Someone like me with poor physical strength who followed along…!”
Pamela is full of negativity today.
This kind of negativity is good to see and hear thanks to the character, but let’s gradually correct it so that she doesn’t say things like me.
First, I ignored the second half and spoke to Pamela.
“I went to take a skills test.”
“S-skill test?”
“I learned a new skill this time, so I went to Valendia and tested it. The purpose was to get used to the skill while taking the test.”
“Yeah, really? But if it’s a test, can’t it be done at Lucedia Academy?”
“It was a skill with a much wider range than I expected. It was my first time using this skill, so it was inappropriate to use indoors.”
“What… “Skill is it?”
Pamela is a companion who will come to the front and form a group to deal with various monsters.
So, you need to know my skills.
“This is a skill that drops a large spear from the sky.”
“Ah… Well, then I would definitely be reluctant to use it indoors for the first time. I don’t know how high up it will appear.”
“That’s it.”
Pamela also guessed what I was considering right away, probably because she used a skill that levitates and flings things like the Sword of Loss or the Nail of Crushing.
Let’s give a little praise here.
“It’s great that you know right away.”
“Oh, no! I can think of things like this right away! Hehe…”
Your face is so good that it melts when you die?
“Did you pass the skill test satisfactorily?”
“Yes. It was perfect against bandits.
“Are you a bandit?”
Standing tall, Pamela’s body stiffened.
“Yes. There was a group of bandits forming near Valendia. It was good to use skills because it was a mountain and the sky was open, and since it wasn’t a road where people were passing by, there was no need to worry about causing damage in the aftermath.”
“Gwae, were you okay? If there were bandits, there would have been a lot of them… Plus, besides! Bandits take revenge on those who harm them… !”
“Don’t worry about that. The bandit group stationed near Valendia has been destroyed.”
“The Ark is destroyed?”
“Yes. While testing my skills, I killed all the bandit leaders and executives. There may be one or two soldiers I don’t know alive, but the leaders and executives are all gone, so it’s the same as being annihilated.”〈 Br〉
“Uh, uh, uhuh…”
Pamela couldn’t close her mouth, leaving her mouth wide open and speechless.
“S-Sihan, you are so amazing… I see… “
In a daze, she blurted out those words.
“Thank you. But I am sorry, Pamela.”
“Huh?! What, what is it?”
“By destroying the bandits this time, the Adventurer’s Guild said they would recognize my achievements and spread the word about them.”
“Well, that’s great! If you’ve accomplished the task of destroying a group of bandits by yourself, the Academy will definitely recognize you! If you do well, you won’t have to worry about the first or second semesters at all!”
As expected from the game settings, performance rather than class tests seems to be the most important factor in attending the academy.
“Yes. So, if I had waited for you to recover when you were tired, you could have achieved results too.”
“It’s okay! Really! If I had gone, I would have only caught him by the ankle! In fact, Si-han, I could have caught him on my own. I don’t like Si-han just following him and getting his nose and beans eaten.”
Pamela stated that she did not want to eat for nothing and that she did not do anything.
“I see. I said something for no reason.”
“Oh, no! Mr. Sihan, you said that because you were thinking of me too. I’m sorry for being so arrogant…”
“No, what you’re saying is completely understandable. I’m sure you don’t want to end up parasitic on your colleagues. But from now on, let’s act together as much as possible. Even if I can do it alone, I enjoy doing requests with my colleagues. Of course, I won’t force it. I will never pass the ball to you.”
“Ah… Yes, yes! That’s right! Hehe. Me too! I’ll go with Mr. Sihan, we’ll do the request together, it’s fun!”
“Thank goodness.”
The next morning.
I headed to the academy with Pamela to take a common class taught by Roderick.
I entered the classroom before class started and sat in the same seat as last time.
“Hey, is that real?”
“It’s true. The bandit group operating near Valendia was destroyed. That was by just one person.”
“Only one person? Does that make sense? If it were a bandit group near Valendia, wouldn’t the number be significant? There would be over 100 people.”
“Did you hear? That the Velkendan stationed in the mountains near Valendia were destroyed.”
“Of course I heard. Recently, Velkendan’s power has been weakened by a bandit hunter. I never thought they would be annihilated overnight.”
The topic of the destruction of Velkendan was already being discussed among the cadets around them.
Since he got the title right away, the guild leader’s news spread very quickly.
“Sihan, Mr. Sihan. Those stories…”
“The news is fast.”
Even though I asked for it to happen.
“I heard that the person who destroyed the Velkendan was a cadet from the Academy…”
“I heard that too. Who is it?”
“Aren’t they the seniors who entered school first? The Velkendan has been growing unusually large recently, so they thought it was a threat and took action.”
“But you’re attacking them alone. Among the seniors, there seems to be one in particular who is overflowing with energy and a sense of justice.”
In a noisy classroom due to the subjugation of Belkendan.
There were still 5 minutes left before class started.
At that time.
Atzbal Genedic entered the classroom.
As soon as Atsubal came in, she looked around the classroom and fixed her eyes on me.
And then he walked towards me in a straight line.
Taang!
I hit the desk with my palm.
“Hi!”
Pamela next to me was started by the sound.
“Hey, is that really true?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t act like a fool.”
“No, if you suddenly barge in and ask if it’s true, how do you know what it is? When you ask something, be specific.”
Just like the characters in the game kindly tell me everything about their situation.
“… Is it true that you destroyed Velkendan by yourself?”
I could feel the eyes of the cadets in the classroom gathering in response to Atsubal’s question.
“Okay.”
I said, looking straight into Atsuval’s eyes that were glaring at me.
“It is me. “I have destroyed the Belken bandits.”
The entire classroom was in an uproar.
