Chapter 69 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
He was currently walking down a fairly long hallway to take the next test, the practical test. After walking for about 5 minutes, the place we arrived at was none other than a sparring room.
As Orbital Academy boasts a scale that is large enough to be called an academy city, the sparring facilities used by students in the combat department were also of a unique scale.
A huge building over 10 floors is being used as a sparring hall.
‘No, should I say that it is being used as a training ground?’
Space expansion magic was applied to a 10-story high-rise building to make its interior wider.
It is an extravagant facility that creates countless rooms within it and rents them out as training rooms to students in the combat department whenever they want.
In addition, it does not stop here, as the training room itself has all kinds of additional functions, so it is enough to say that the facilities of this building are the reason for those who train special abilities to enroll in Orbital Academy.
‘Among them, there is also a magic facility that protects trainees.’
Therefore, when sparring inside this room, it was impossible to inflict damage to each other unless the level was quite high.
Therefore, even within Orbital Academy, where fighting between students was prohibited for some reason, it was the only place where sparring took place under the observation of a professor.
‘We’ve arrived.’
Eugene, who walked inside the building for a while, checked the training room assigned to him and opened the door, remembering that it looked like the door of a hotel room. And…
“Are you my practical test partner?”
“Oh my god…”
… The fact that the sparring partner who had arrived at the sparring venue in advance and was waiting for him, and who had obviously been chosen at random, had the impression of knowing him well made Eugene want to find God without realizing it.

In the original game called Orbital World, there were a total of eight heroine routes. There are 4 main heroines who can be conquered starting from the first year.
And as sub-heroines, there are four heroines who can be conquered starting from the second year. The main heroine was literally the main heroine.
The title heroines can be conquered from the first year of school, and as mentioned earlier, if you know the strategy well, you can ignore the RPG part and conquer the title heroines using only the options.
So what is a sub-heroine? Unlike the title heroines, they do not appear at the beginning of the main story.
Even Cheonma, who has the title of unattackable sub-heroine, may not even appear throughout the story unless you decide to delve into her existence.
In other words, unlike those who appear in the main story, it is possible to attack them, but in order to do so, you have to give up your relationship with the main heroines and dig in to build a connection.
Those were the sub-heroines. As with the main heroines, there are a total of four, and the elf Cheonma Yeonhwa is also included in this sub-heroine.
… Well, it was nonsense in that she was a sub-heroine and didn’t have a proper love event.
So, excluding Yeonhwa, who are the other three sub-heroines?
First of all, there was a name attached to the route that represented each heroine’s position and targeted that heroine.
As with the main heroines, it is a story that allows you to know the position of each sub-heroine, as can be seen from the four routes named Idol, Target, Assassin, and Heavenly Demon.
‘The Cheonma is named Yeonhwa, the idol is named Nefty, and the target person is named Platinum.’
And among these sub-heroines, three of them, excluding Cheonma, were those who entered Orbital Academy as first-year students, i.E., 17 years old, when the main character was in the second year, i.E., 18 years old.
In other words, Nefty from the idol route and Platinum from the target route are both in the ‘combat department’ and are currently taking a practical test somewhere in the training building here.
‘And the same goes for Moon Ae-ri in the assassin route.’
In other words, in some cases, Eugene’s sparring partner may be one of the three sub-heroines.
But Eugene wasn’t worried. The number of people taking the exam to become new students at Orbital Academy was in the thousands.
One of these people is randomly selected to be the sparring partner for the practical test, but does it make sense for only three of them to be selected as sub-heroines?
For that reason, Eugene had no choice but to freeze for a moment in the face of the reality, for which he was completely unprepared, and the overwhelming experience, no joke, was colorless.
“Hey, I don’t know why, but if you keep being so stiff, you’ll start doing whatever you want?”
“…”
And the girl begins to prepare for battle, deftly turning the two daggers she is holding in her palms against Eugene, who has become frozen in the fact that the opponent in front of her clearly looks familiar.
Just looking at him, he is the type of person who speaks quite harshly, and the attitude he shows to his opponent, Eugene, right before the practical test, is also quite sharp.
… No, those who have a lot of experience with this ability can tell that the fighting spirit exuded by the girl in front of them is on the verge of developing into murderous intent.
In other words, we can see that the girl in front of us is someone who could try to kill Eugene at any time and is clearly not taking the practical test as a test.
‘Why is the other person…’
And Eugene, who had enough experience to guess that fact, could not help but hesitate when he realized that the girl in front of her was indeed that girl and not another girl who resembled the girl he knew.
Is it okay to start sparring like this, or should I force myself to change my sparring partner? It was when Eugene was having such concerns.
“Ha… , You mean. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but did you hear the test rules? The practical test begins from the moment you enter this sparring hall. In that sense…”
Whoop!!
I don’t know why Eugene appears to be in quite serious trouble, but her sparring partner gives her a sigh and a warning, perhaps because she misunderstands that she is on the edge.
… No, at the same time as the warning, the figure disappeared before my eyes as if a ghost had approached me, and then it appeared from a corner of my awareness, grabbed the dagger in my left hand and stabbed Eugene in the neck like that!
“Ugh?!”
A sudden surprise attack. However, even if he was truly dazed, Eugene, who had learned martial arts that allowed him to respond in any situation, immediately turned his head to the side to avoid him.
The girl who had taken me by surprise at that unexpected reaction opened her eyes, which had quite dark circles, as if she were surprised and spoke.
“… “I was planning to say that I wouldn’t receive any complaints even if it ended in a surprise attack like this, but are you going to avoid this?”
As he said that, at the same time, the dagger in his right hand was swinging, aiming for the artery of Eugene, who had twisted his body as if waiting for it.
A continuous surprise attack that leaves no time for a proper answer, as if talking to you is itself a bait.
However, Eugene also reacted as if he was used to this type of surprise attack, having experienced it to the point of getting sick of it.
Kagagak!!
In an instant, Eugene takes out a planet from her own image world and transforms it into the form of a cannon blade, raising her sword body like a shield to block the girl’s dagger.
“What is that weapon? “Where did you get it from?”
Kang! Kang! Kaga River!
The girl narrowed her eyes at the fact that Eugene, who must have been empty-handed, was suddenly holding an unusually shaped long sword in her hands, but began to attack without stopping with the two dual swords she was holding.
“Roughly think of this type of power user… !”
And although Eugene was taken aback by her sudden surprise attack, he soon regained enough composure to reply to the girl’s words, and just like her, he returned her words and struck down the two daggers that she swung at high speed.
Kang! Kang! Kang! Kaaaaang!!
A girl who is clearly practicing high-level martial arts. And Eugene is not swayed by the girl and throws it all away.
“Power user? “A power user is this skilled in actual martial arts?”
Seeing Eugene like that, the girl frowned at the fact that the practical test was longer than expected, but activated the essence inside her body and increased the speed of the dagger even more.
“Because it’s a martial arts group!”
And as expected, Eugene also amplified her physical abilities through the unirut supplied from the mind object she was holding, and then followed her acceleration and responded to her.
Kachang! Kaga River!
As expected, the battle continued without a conclusion, even though two daggers and a long sword clashed and countless sparks flew in the air.
“Tsk… , Okay. Not all men are the same weaklings. Then, why don’t you try blocking this too.”
And, contrary to her initial dazed impression, Eugene responded to her own surprise attack and showed no signs of being pushed back in the fight itself. Her opponent clicked his tongue as if he did not like her.
Then, the girl immediately takes the initiative as if she doesn’t like the sparring going on any longer.
She wields the two daggers like a ghost, firing off all kinds of strikes while levitating the daggers in the air.
At the same time, she thrust out her other hand as if she was stabbing a dagger, and then threw the dagger.
A unique practical martial art that hides various yet unconventional attacks between successive attacks, such as recovering a dagger that was floating in the air at the same time as throwing and performing a linked attack following the throw.
The game-winning move that the girl who practiced the ‘assassination martial art’, which was clearly meant to catch the opponent off guard and take his or her life at the moment of inattention, was, of course, a blow specialized for assassination.
Flowing!!
“This…”
Even though she was clearly in front of me, the girl’s presence disappeared in an instant.
By activating the essence, you can reproduce movements that would otherwise be impossible with your maximized physical abilities, and through this, you can escape from the opponent’s five senses for a moment…
“Ha!”
… A surprise attack that stabs a vital point from behind. It could be said that it was an attack that an ordinary person would have suffered without even understanding what was going on.
“Is this the attack you blocked earlier?”
However, for Eugene, since it was the technique he used during the first surprise attack, isn’t it a technique that can be called a winning technique? With that attitude, he struck down the dagger stabbed from behind with the cannon blade. However…
Slurp!
“Hmm… ?!”
The moment Eugene swings the cannon blade and strikes the dagger without even looking back, the girl disappears behind him like a mirage.
The moment Eugene looked slightly embarrassed, the girl was standing in the same position as before she disappeared, with a sneer on her face, and she was swinging two daggers at the same time.
“Anyone who prevented the first surprise attack will most likely be defeated by this technique.”
At the same time as those words were said, two daggers were swung aimed at Eugene’s neck and solar plexus, respectively, confident that they would not be able to avoid or block this time.
I thought that Eugene would lose the practical test by exposing his vital points, but…
Kwaang!!
… The trajectory of the two daggers was twisted due to a sudden explosion between the girl and Eugene.
Kwaaaaang!
It didn’t stop there, either. Eugene and the girl were swept away by another series of explosions, and soon a girl with a confused look appeared through the smoke generated by the explosions.
“Explosion? Suddenly?”
“I told you, power user… “It’s similar.”
