Chapter 31 – 031 Fire Moth
It’s only been two days since I entered school, and my life level is already at the bottom.
It’s all because of that gray-haired man, a man named Yu and Lilith.
But was the original history class taught by Professor McCall?
If I remember correctly, he must have been a younger person, but I have no idea why he changed to someone like Professor McCall.
Looking at his eyes, he seems to know Lilith’s true identity… He might be more competent than I thought.
Of course, it wasn’t very pleasant to intuit in real time that he almost took his own life because of his competence.
‘Anyway, it’s not good that all the plans have to be accelerated just with the Behemoth thing alone, but if the release goes too far, there’s really no answer.’
Originally, at the beginning of the second semester, Behemoth, who had run amok due to the tricks of the Demonic Cult, began to advance toward the academy and arrive at the end of the first year.
However, because of the sword and the beast, the schedule was pushed forward by half a year.
‘At this rate, the Behemoth subjugation will happen during summer vacation.’
For that reason, I completely revised my plan to get a job in the best possible condition by slowly building up, and got it in advance before entering school.
In the process, he really struggled, but in the end, he succeeded, so…
‘Space check. Contrary to the cheesy job title, it’s a job whose strength is real.’
The space swordsman, which is the most preferred job when the deceased people play time attack, is a space swordsman who lives up to its name, and its performance is definitely a top-notch job.
It’s not a job that can be obtained in a normal way, but it’s a hidden job group, so its strength is extraordinary.
The basic job concept is simple.
Making the distance between me and the opponent zero.
It is a morale class job that has the characteristic of making the distance between me and the enemy almost zero when I actually swing the sword, rather than killing enemies from a distance by blowing an intangible sword.
But it doesn’t close the distance to a level that can’t be stopped. For example, it would be easier to understand if I said that when you and the enemy are about 10 meters apart, the opponent makes you feel that you are fighting with you right in front of you.
As much as there are these performances, there are some parts that have penalties.
The representative part is the mana consumption that increases exponentially according to the distance between me and the other person.
Due to its relatively weak attack compared to other dealer classes, it is less effective against opponents with high defense.
However, mana can be solved with elixirs, and insufficient attack power can be covered to some extent with buffs or items, so it is the most popular job for time-attacking veterans.
It’s okay to have a hidden job where you eat raw.
Since it is a reality, not a game, its usefulness will be infinite, and from the moment I realized that I was possessed in a game, I had in mind changing my job to a space prosecutor.
Originally, it’s a scam job enough, but when you wake up later, it’s a job that hears more scams.
Maybe that’s why it was a rather reluctant job except when the dead people were doing a time attack.
It’s because the game is so easy that it’s no longer fun. Of course, I wish it would be easier for me as the game has become a reality.
So after farming, I was going to change jobs and try to play against Behemoth.
‘It’s impossible to build enough power to inflict meaningful damage on the Behemoth by summer vacation.’
Still, Behemoth and space inspection are not very good.
What if you can safely attack from a distance? Even if I hit it, the dill wouldn’t go in.
Therefore, now I had to use all kinds of expedients to improve my skills somehow and gather my colleagues to cover my shortcomings.
If I can’t participate in the Behemoth subjugation, there’s a possibility that my plan will be twisted beyond my control.
Of course, it’s impossible to defeat them directly, but it’s important to be active on the spot.
Because that’s her unlock condition.
My head hurts at such a situation, but I can’t help but feel frustrated because even Yuha and Lilith are fucking.
Also, I heard that Professor Carleton is out of office because of the Behemoth.
Receiving direct guidance from Professor Carlton is the most efficient way to develop strength in the first year.
I made a plan so that I could receive direct guidance, but how can it be like this even if I’m really unlucky?
‘If this is the case, should I be careful with stat creation through the club?’
My head hurts thinking about all the troublesome things.
In addition, the sounds around me started to make my head throb even more.
“But really, isn’t that what he should do?”
“Yesterday, why didn’t the professors stop me? I cannot understand.”
“If I see you today, I will have to say something.”
Certainly the sight of Lilith sitting on her thighs was too much.
I mean in several ways.
Fortunately, Lilith didn’t seem to care about the gossip behind her back.
However, other cadets are already dissatisfied with their appearance.
It’s funny that this is the image I built in just one day after entering school.
I think my reputation will be trash as well if I intercede, and I don’t know what Lilith will do if I leave it alone.
We need to find a way before public opinion gets worse. Because you can’t be swayed forever.
As I was waiting for class with that thought in mind, I began to see three figures entering the training ground entrance.
The first thing that caught my eye was Yuha, who appeared with Lilith on her right arm.
As soon as I saw that face, I sighed.
And.
‘Who is it…?’
An expressionless woman with a large sword behind her, walking from the left of Yuha.
Her platinum-colored hair, shining softly in the sunlight, was impressive, and more than that, her beautiful appearance was impressive.
She closed her eyes for a moment and searched her mind, but nothing came of it.
There is absolutely no information that there is a woman like that in the academy.
No, apart from the academy, I’ve never seen a girl like that in a game.
Unlike Yoo-ha, who was a professor and came to the seat where the cadets were, the platinum-haired woman walked forward.
She eagerly pops up question marks in her head, but non-existent information doesn’t pop up out of nowhere.
“Wow…”
“Was there anyone like that?”
Everyone else was asking each other who it was, probably seeing it for the first time.
After taking one look at her students with a face that seemed to be okay with everyone’s eyes on her, she opened her mouth.
“Nice to meet you. This is Gloria, who has been assigned to teach real-life combat on a temporary basis in place of Professor Carlton.”
‘Gloria? I’m hearing this for the first time…’
As if I wasn’t the only one hearing the name for the first time, the hum grew louder.
“At least two weeks. As long as I am in charge of the entire semester, I will teach the cadets wholeheartedly, so please keep that in mind when attending class.”
Professor Gloria speaks plainly with her brief self-introduction.
Her curiosity about her, of course, was not unique to me.
“Professor Gloria!”
“Is there a problem.”
“Excuse me, but I’ve never heard of Professor Gloria. Could she briefly introduce herself?”
Okay. There must have been a character who likes to step out like that, who satisfies other people’s curiosity instead.
Even in the game, I remembered that thanks to people like that, the information came in without the player having to step forward.
“My name is Gloria, as I said before. Until recently, she operated in the dungeon city of Argon, and she has a record of breaking through to the 50th floor.”
‘The 50th floor?’
“Isn’t the 50th floor almost the end? I heard there are boss monsters on each floor after that.”
“He must be famous enough… ? I have never heard of the name Gloria.”
‘That’s right. From the 50th floor onwards, it is difficult to break through without forming a raid party. But I’ve never heard of a party with someone like that.’
Then an incredible possibility passed through my mind.
If? No way?
I really wanted to, but if I’m right, it would mean that I’m a strong person that can’t be ignored.
“Professor Gloria, are you a solo breakthrough?”
I couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I finally asked myself.
“You’re right.”
Everyone was staring at Professor Gloria with astonished faces.
“Really?! Wasn’t that something no one else could do except for the swordsman?”
That’s what it says. I don’t know why, but a bloody swordsman currently active in the dungeon city. No, should I just call him a swordsman now?
It was true that there was no one but her, at least in the present age.
Even in the game, it is a record that players can aim for only at the end of the game.
I wondered if that woman was a swordsman, but that couldn’t be the case.
The curse received from the witch is a kind of curse that can never be lifted unless she is a witch or a demon.
Besides, I heard that there was a fierce battle with the Behemoth recently.
Considering the traces of the battle left there, it is correct to assume that the Sword Saint should be recuperating.
Worst case, you’ll die.
Sword Saint’s hair color is faded gray, but that one’s is a completely different platinum color.
Considering these points, Professor Gloria and Geomsung cannot be the same person.
Cooong-
“It is noisy.”
Professor Gloria draws attention by taking out the greatsword behind her back and slashing it hard on the floor.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Rather than such useless information, it is only important what you can get from future classes.”
Professor Gloria held up the heavy sword with her right hand and pointed it at us.
“Then, first of all, we need to find out the cadets’ skills, everyone.”
Professor Gloria declared, swinging her greatsword once in the air as if she were swinging a wooden stick.
“I want you to jump in.”
However, there was definitely no one who immediately rushed to Professor Gloria, who gave off pressure and gained momentum at once.
No. I thought he wouldn’t be there.
“I am Yuha Cadet! Professor Gloria~ Let’s go!”
Uh?
I didn’t know that there would be someone who would jump at me right away saying that it was a real mess, and I really never thought that it would be Yu-ha.
While everyone was bewildered, the sight of him grabbing the greatsword with both hands and rushing at Professor Gloria at random was like a moth on fire.
‘It’s reckless.’
No. Since it was a class, it might not be a bad choice to run into it like that, but isn’t that a way to go in without any countermeasures?
The other cadets who missed the first attack stared blankly at Yuha.
No one would have thought that the first victim would be that guy who is a hot potato.
However, everyone quickly came to their senses and seemed determined to observe their clash closely in order to check Professor Gloria’s skills in advance.
“Hryab!”
Perhaps he had an idea, Yuha raised his greatsword with too much movement and struck hard.
The momentum was good, but the attack had too many loopholes.
Thinking back to the entrance exam, it seemed like I was the type to use my brain when fighting.
Was it an illusion?
However, my thoughts were immediately blown away by the next scene.
Quaang-
Everyone, including me, was shocked by Professor Gloria’s behavior of literally slashing Yuha with the side of the greatsword she was holding while dodging Yoo-Ha’s greatsword in an instant and digging into her bosom.
Or to be more precise, it was because I saw Yoo-ha fly straight up to the wall of the training ground and crash into the wall with a terrifying sound.
“Uh…?”
Aren’t you dead…?
