Chapter 378 – Mythology Academy
However, as if ruthlessly trampling on the expectations of such a holy day, the devil of the abyss was lightly trampling and knocking down the students who challenged with a single gesture.
“…I can’t get meaningful back data like this.”
Although he already roughly knew that this would happen, Seong-il sighs lightly as he sees the situation much worse than expected.
‘Yeah… Well… If I’m this hard, no one will be able to endure better than me, so it must be good for me.’
Thinking so, Seong-il puts down his expectations and calmly watches the battles of other students.
“Oh… That guy…”
While watching the battle boringly, Seong-il’s striking silver-haired handsome young man. When Seong-il shows curiosity about the main character’s appearance, a female lead member who is in charge of the host nearby asks him.
“Why? A friend you know?”
“Ah, Shuna-senpai.”
A female leading member with impressive red hair appeared. Despite the body that had been furious with Seong-il’s rude attitude not too long ago, the two of them cleared up the misunderstanding and got along pretty well.
“I don’t know her. She only took one class. I remember her because her silver hair was amazing?”
“Oh, is that so? I thought… I thought you were a rival and pretended to know him…”
“…A rival?”
“Yes. He’s a psychic who stands out with you in the first year.”
“Is it so…?”
The news of the protagonist for the first time in his life. At Seongil’s attitude, Shuna answers him with a slightly puzzled expression.
“‘Really?’? There are a lot of rumors that you and him are the owners of the best talent sharing this school year…”
“…”
“If our seniors know about it, you, the classmate, don’t know?”
Shuna asks in a voice full of absurdity at Seongil’s attitude. To her question, Seong-il shrugs her shoulders and answers.
“Well… Since I’m not particularly interested in friendships…”
“Huh…”
As soon as she heard Seongil’s answer, Shuna put on an expression of understanding at once. Her Seong-il was moved to tears at the moment, but when I think about it, I think that her own attitude was worth it.
‘…Since I’m only focused on my studies, I’ve acted a bit rude.’
In order to prevent getting caught up in a troublesome incident and hindering his studies, Seong-il took the concept itself as an idiot who has no interest in interpersonal relationships.
He ignored most of his peers who pretended to be close to him or only answered with short answers, so he was in a situation where he was like an isolated island among his peers.
“Did you have a lot of fun?”
“…What’s my opinion?”
“Cold genius? But kind to beautiful women.”
“…?”
When Seong-il made an expression as if asking for bullshit, Shuna answered him with a slight shrug of her shoulders.
“Well… Your ability and personality that you showed in a short period of time are very famous in school. High grades, victory in a match against a senior, etc. And even a nose that matches that.”
“…What’s the beauty story about?”
“Oh?”
Shuna even laughs a little as if she is dumbfounded by Seongil’s words. But when Seong-il stares at herself, she stops laughing and she starts answering him.
“Did you really not know? You’re only kind to beauties.”
“…”
“Right now, isn’t your best friend Elaine Yves Rose from first grade? It’s pretty famous that you’re only kind to her, right?”
“Uh… Well…”
“In the meantime, she’s been evaluated as one of the best beauties of all grades, beyond the first grade this time.”
“…”
“Is that all? The only senior you’re close with in the leadership team is Manager Claudia, isn’t it?”
“Uh…”
“If you put all of that together, wouldn’t people around you think that you ‘like beautiful women’?”
“…”
After hearing it, Shuna had nothing to say about her evaluation. Even in reality, she wasn’t particularly wrong about it, so she has nothing to say about Seong-il, so she quietly shuts her mouth.
“Puhaha… You don’t deny it? Well… I understand. Men are like that.”
“Oh… Are you cool?”
“Really? I’m not even a kid. I’m in my early to mid-twenties, so I’m at an age where I can get married soon. Personally, I’d rather have a personality like you. You don’t flirt, and you’re definite likes and dislikes.”
‘Certainly, it looks like that.’
On her first day, when she ran into herself, Shuna had an experience of fighting hotly. Like a mage who mainly handles flames, her personality seemed to tend to be very hot.
“Anyway… The friend you saw earlier is the one who stands out the most in the first year, excluding you.”
“Huh… Is that so?”
“Yeah. Didn’t the posh guys who like to make things up on campus already talk about that friend as your rival?”
“Oh… Was that enough? That friend, like me, is a first-class…”
“Oh, not to that extent. It’s just overall a great level. To be honest, according to the results I objectively saw as a third party, he’s not your level.”
“…Then why?”
“Why, why? Bondi, luxurious people like that.”
“…”
“Think about it carefully. A noble genius who is not cheap. And even though he lacks talent… A handsome, good-natured, always hard-working honor student. Doesn’t it seem like a combination that luxury people would like?”
“…Somehow I feel like a villain?”
“Answer!”
“…”
Shuna’s answer slightly made Seongil cry. Seeing Seongil’s expression like that, Shuna continues talking to him with a bashful smile as if she’s having fun.
“Cuk-Cuk!! The reaction is fun… Don’t feel too bad about it. Those who like to talk are like that.”
“Well… That’s right. By the way…”
“Hmm?”
“What’s that guy’s name?”
“…You don’t even know the name?”
“Yes. I’m not interested in men.”
“Uh… Well…”
Shuna was at a loss for words, perhaps taken aback by Sungil’s knife-like answer. After lightly wiping away the cold sweat, she answers him.
“That… Yes. It could be. His name is Lanz Ludian.”
‘Oh… Isn’t that the main character’s default name?’
When the name that comes out of Shuna’s mouth when the player writes the main character’s name blank, Seong-il was convinced that he was really the main character.
Because of this, Seong-il became even more interested in him. He begins to watch Lanz’s battle with concentration.
‘Oh… Did you make a contract with two different elemental spirits?’
Surprisingly, Lanz summoned one each of the earth and wind spirits. Unless summoning a lower elemental spirit (commonly called elemental) to force mind control, it is very rare to summon spirits of both attributes at the same time.
‘Hmm… The fighting style is interesting, isn’t it?’
Funnily enough, Lantz, who projects telekinesis onto his body and semi-forcefully makes his body look like a body enhancer, quickly runs around the outside of the arena.
He seems to have instructed the wind spirit to make a powerful throw without rest after running around without rest, and at the same time bringing the earth spirit closer to the front to face the abyss lord.
‘Vision… Is it a fighter?’
Interestingly, rather than using elemental powers, the main character uses the power of the arcane called pure power as an attack.
As Vision is clearly an agglomerate of pure energy, he seemed to be dealing a weak blow to the Lord of the Abyss, who had strong elemental and magic resistance.
‘But… The vision is pure, so there are no weaknesses in all areas, but in return, there is a problem of poor efficiency.’
Vision’s fatal weakness. As it is pure shamanic power, the destructive aspect had the disadvantage of being weaker than elemental skills, and thanks to this, the Lord of Abyss showed an annoyed expression despite the continuous attacks of Lantz, and did not suffer any serious injuries. Was
『A wormy bastard!!!』
The roar of the Lord of the Abyss that fills the arena. It strongly swings the huge bat-shaped wings on its back, scattering powerful waves of magic around it.
“Kuh…!!”
Even though it’s just a wave, Lanz is in great pain. However, he quickly recovers himself and stays as far away from the Lord of the Abyss as possible, repeatedly throwing his magic without wavering.
‘Ah…That guy…Was it a strategy to hold out?’
As Seongil thought, the main character also aims for a high score in the same way. In fact, as the play was a standard play that the main character often uses in the game, it was natural.
‘That way, I can definitely last a long time.’
A tactic of making the two spirits constantly offend the Lord of the Abyss, while striking the monster as precisely as possible with a ranged attack from the outskirts.
‘…By the way, that tactic is also an impossible tactic unless you are in the 3rd or 4th grade. In the first place, if the earth war itself is not supported by magic…’
Indeed, just as Seongil had thought, Lanz soon began to feel fatigue on his face little by little, as if his mana consumption was severe.
“…Oh?”
In the midst of that, Lanz’s tactics make Seongil’s eyes suspicious. After charging the wind and earth spirits at once, he moved to the side of the Lord of the Abyss and began to draw a longsword from his waist.
‘Did you aim for that when you were attacking from the outskirts with a focus on throwing?’
The appearance of Lantz charging at the Lord of the Abyss, emitting intense light from his sword. He seemed to have been calmly scratching his nerves in the outskirts so that the Lord of the Abyss could open a gap.
『Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-g-g-g-g-a-bug-like guy…!!』
“!!!”
However, as if waiting for his rush, the Lord of the Abyss quickly turned his body and glared at Lantz. He doesn’t care if the spirits beat him or not, he watches Lanz.
『Time dies, and the living will rot.』
“Kuk!!!”
A lord of the abyss who mumbles curses while raising one arm with vicious claws. Then, Lanz’s body receives strong resistance, and part of his skin begins to rot.
“Wow… It’s real…?”
“Right?”
“Yeah… That’s not real, is it?”
“Yeah. That’s a kind of fantasy. Of course, the person in question won’t feel like an illusion.”
“Omg…”
Lanz’s condition is so realistic and horrifying that Seong-il is frightened. He was in a situation where his body was horribly ruined in an instant by the curses and venom spewed by the Lord of the Abyss.
“Aaaaa!!!”
Nevertheless, as if he felt no pain, he furiously charged the Lord of the Abyss and cut his face with his sword.
“Dare!!!”
The Lord of the Abyss, enraged by the scar on his face, albeit a scratch. He swings his arm and swings his massive claw like a scythe at Lanz. Then, Lanz, who was directly hit by the attack, had his torso severely cut into thirds.
“Ugh!”
Fortunately, the illusion was quickly dispelled before the terrible appearance was fully revealed, and despite the end of the illusion, the main character, Lanz, was panting incessantly with a tired face, enduring the pain caused by magical exhaustion.
“Wow!!!”
Cries erupted from all directions. Although he is weak, all the students in the hall cheer him hotly, perhaps because he is the first student to hurt the Lord of the Abyss.
“…Have you forgotten that this is a test?”
Seong-Il is baffled by such a reaction in the intestines. In a way, he makes an expression that he can’t understand when he sees his classmates cheering, even though it’s as if a student with a higher score than himself has appeared.
“…Hmm?”
In the meantime, one person seen in the opposite place. Seong-il looks over at the familiar figure, without realizing it.
“…Yudi?”
“Huh? Is Yudi here?”
“Yes. It seemed to be across the street.”
“Ah. You must have misunderstood. Is he off duty today?”
“…”
Shuna’s answer denied Seongil’s words. However, Seong-il, whose senses are sharp like a monster, realizes that what she confirmed is not a lie. And a strange feeling coming.
‘Fuck… This is a bit awkward…?’
Thinking so, Seong-il devotes all his energy to inspecting the hall using 『Emotion』. However, the figure of Yudi cannot be found.
‘Hmm… Am I really mistaken?’
A holy day that makes me feel uncomfortable. However, when it was his turn to take the test, he suppressed his feelings and moved to a simulated battlefield.
“Whoa… Did Lanz last about 5 minutes?”
Seong-il checked the battle time of the previous protagonist. He thinks he’ll have to hold on for roughly seven or eight minutes, and settles down in the middle of the mock battlefield with a slightly nervous expression.
