Chapter 26 – Field Training (2)
“Next Article 13.”
“”Yes!””
Do Hyun-woo, Jang Sang-yul, Lee Rin, and I entered the building in order.
The goal of this practical training was extremely simple.
Defeat all the monsters that the instructors have scattered in the 3-story abandoned building.
However, the building should not be collapsed with excessive force and injuries should not occur.
As befits an abandoned building, the interior was similar to that of a psychiatric ward in a horror movie.
Most of the glass is broken, there is no electricity, and most of the wall paint is peeling.
“Ah, I’m scared~”
“It’s okay, I’ll protect you.”
“My baby is the best!”
… Our Joe Tankers and melee dealers are in awe.
Katrin, who was flying low beside me, asked softly.
“Does Master want to do something like that?”
“No at all.”
As if he heard the conversation between me and Katrin, Do Hyun-woo turned his head back.
And he raised only one corner of his mouth as if mockingly.
It was as if he was saying that he felt sorry for you who did not know the beauty of love.
I wanted to instruct Catherine to beat me up, but I held back.
When an injured person comes out, we are all non-passers.
“Hey, you guys stop salting and focus properly!”
Irin shouted at the two of them.
Then, this time, Jang Sang-yul smiled and said.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Isn’t it rude to do this in front of someone who doesn’t have a boyfriend?”
Lee Rin said, “That bitch!” And tried to punch her.
I quickly caught it and dried it.
Then, with her chin, she pointed at the CCTVs installed throughout the building.
“Sorry.”
“I understand.”
They smiled at each other and cautiously moved forward.

“Enemy in sight! Long-horned wild boar!”
Hyeonu Do, who held the shield with both hands, screamed.
Jang So-yul and Lee Rin each raised an ax and a bow to the front.
I also took the dagger out of the scabbard.
As the name suggests, ‘Long Horn Boar’ is a D-class monster in the form of a pig with long white horns.
The first difference between wild boars and wild boars is that they have red eyes.
Second is-.
“Queueek—!!”
To use skills or magic like an Awakener.
As soon as we heard the boar’s cry, Irin and I immediately covered our ears with both hands.
It’s a skill that will tear your eardrums if you keep listening.
Pain is pain, but it’s hard to fight properly when you’ve lost your hearing.
The problem was Do Hyun-woo and the place rate.
Both Do Hyeon-woo’s shield and Jang So-yul’s ax are heavy to hold with one hand, so you have to hold them with both hands.
It was difficult to take my hand off the weapon and cover my ears.
“Catherine, protect those two!”
“I understand, Master!”
I let go of the leash and Katrin flew forward.
She didn’t put her hand on her ear.
Instead, a magic circle spread over her ears.
It seemed that he was protecting his eardrums with magic.
Katrin approached Do Hyun-woo and Jang So-yul’s back.
He stretched his arms wide out to the sides toward their ears.
Damn—!
“”Oops!””
He slapped it with the palm of his hand, as if he were beating his ears.
A magic circle similar to the one in Catherine’s ear also formed around their ears.
“Master, can I catch that noisy pig?”
“Okay.”
It flapped its wings and flew over the pig’s head.
Katrin licked her lips once with her tongue, as if licking her lips.
Then he moved his hands and arms like a salt sprinkler.
Blazing—.
“I’m sorry—!!”
The small, pellet-like sparks that fell from her hand began to roast the wild boar alive.
… Maybe it was because the wild boar looked delicious.
Instead of turning it into ashes all at once, they slowly cooked the flesh of the ‘longhorn wild boar’ as if controlling fire.
It wasn’t long before the boar stopped moving.
Katrin lifted up a monster that seemed to be bigger than herself and sprinted towards me.
“This meat is so delicious, Master! If you eat tonkatsu with this, it will be even more delicious!!”
Although there are Gibier dishes using monster meat…
To be honest, ordinary people like me are very uncomfortable with food.
“We can’t take this wild boar carelessly. Because it belongs to the academy.”
“Oh really?! I put a lot of effort into it!!”
… She slammed the monster corpse in her hand to the floor at her.
But Irin, who was next to me, swallowed his saliva.
“Monster meat is delicious.”
“Have you ever eaten?”
“I was a bit young, but when my mom went on a business trip to America, she went with her. She ate there because there are quite a few restaurants in Monster Givier in America.”
She explained in detail.
Even though it’s a similar steak, the grilled monster meat has a much richer taste and is delicious.
In particular, Awoken people feel the umami more than ordinary people, and even if there are Awoken people who have never eaten it, it is said that there are no Awoken people who have only eaten it once.
“It’s not like there aren’t restaurants in Monster Gibi in Korea, but they’re too expensive compared to the US!”
Seeing Lee Rin talk like this, is it really delicious?
While I was thinking, Katrin put her mouth in my ear and whispered softly.
“In fact, the reason why monster meat is so delicious is because of regularity.”
“Uh? Okay?”
As Katrin explained, the difference between normal animals and monsters is the difference in how many spirits there are.
Even after death, because there is energy between the lean meat, it feels more delicious than the meat of a normal animal.
In other words, the savory taste that Irin said is the taste of the spirit.
“So, there is a high possibility that this woman, Lee Rin, will enjoy the most delicious taste in the world, just like me!”
“… Don’t say anything strange.”
I become conscious of Irin for no reason.
She is a party member and female friend.
When she entertains strange thoughts, even the best party ties fall apart.
Do Hyun-woo and Jang Ji-yul couple approached me.
Touching the area where Katrin had hit her ear, with her hand.
“No, do I really have to do this? What’s wrong with your familiar?”
Instead of saying thank you, Do Hyeon-woo shows resentment.
If it hadn’t been for the condition that no one was injured, these two would have just left.
… It was the moment when I realized why the Internet called group assignments hell.
“Then you two are just screwed up! I didn’t do anything, and if it wasn’t for Daeseung, my eardrum would have been blown, but it’s so damn good!!”
It wasn’t me, but Irin screamed like an explosion.
Jang Sang-yul said, “What bitch?!” And leaned forward.
Do Hyun-woo spat out while holding his girlfriend by the shoulder.
“Okay, we’re not going to do anything, so just you and the two of us.”
I carried the shield on my back and moved behind Irin.
Jang Sang-yul also went next to her boyfriend.
He lightly tapped Irene’s shoulder and whispered softly.
“Good job. Now let’s do it ourselves.”
“Ah, yes!”
Anyway, since Do Hyeon-woo and Jang Sang-yul are also Jo Won, she had a lot of thoughts about collaborating together, but she changed her mind.
Just me and Irin should clear it.
“If you see a monster, you immediately attack with an arrow. Then Katrin gets close and kills her.”
“Huh.” “Okay, master!”
Now we went ahead.
It was a bit of a dick situation with supporters and AD dealers in the front line, but all you have to do is get a pass.
Less than a minute after I started walking again, I encountered another ‘longhorn wild boar’.
Phishung-.
Irin shot an arrow before the monster let out a cry.
An arrow made of light, skill, was pierced into the boar’s body.
Finally, Katrin flew next to the monster and slammed it in the neck with her blade.
The pig’s head fell to the floor, revealing a neatly cut neck section.
It was a swift subjugation that literally did not even hear the sound of picking.
“Praise me, Master!”
Katrin came back to my side and pointed her hand at her head.
He stroked her chin as well as stroked her hair.
Seeing her smiling brightly, she smiled unconsciously.
I noticed that Irin was staring at me like that.
She asked in her joking tone, casting her gaze at her.
“Do you do it too?”
“Mi, Mi, am I crazy?!”
“It’s just what I said.”
He also lightly pinched Katrin’s cheeks and finished the compliment.
It really felt like raising a puppy.
“Okay, let’s go like this.”
Both nodded.
*
Break through the first floor and go up to the second floor.
There was no elevator, and of course it was the stairs, but Catherine was a bit envious when she moved by flying.
Because of the high ceiling, the stairs were subtly long.
Now that I think about it, wouldn’t Katrin be able to hold me and fly?
A bit scary, but worth a try later.
“It’s a Wearrat!”
When Lee Rin saw the monster, she immediately drew the bowstring and shouted.
A rat body covered in fur and a face that looked somewhat human.
The height of a child of about five or six years old.
It was walking on two legs, not like a mouse.
With a stick in her hand.
As far as I remember, it’s about the lower level of C-class.
“Ah, you’re so squeamish!”
The Wear Rat rolled her around, using her small size and agility.
That’s why Irin seemed to be difficult to aim.
She could just tell Katrin to catch her, but because of her personality, she doesn’t like relying solely on me.
She saw the monster’s face and used her skill.
‘Three thousand times the pain.’
“Quack!”
A mouse human that screamed out loud.
He wore a terrified expression.
“Thank you!” Said Lee Rin, releasing her bowstring from her hand.
A fast-flying arrow pierced Wearrat’s body, who was just staring at it.
Immediately Katrin swung her arm three times, severing her neck and limbs.
Katrin lifted a piece of her amputated leg and said to me.
“It’s delicious even if you stick it on a skewer, add salt, and grill it over a fire, master!”
No matter how big a mouse is, grilled mouse leg skewers are a bit…
He turned his head to Irene and asked.
“Does that come out as a Gibier dish?”
“I don’t eat mice either!”
Katrin pouted slightly and said, “It’s delicious…” And threw Wearrat’s leg to the floor.
He whispered softly in her ear so that no one else could hear her.
“If you go to the dormitory later, eat semen. Do you like that better?”
“That’s true, but I thought the owner might want to eat something delicious…”
Oh, she didn’t say that she wanted to eat.
It was for me
Was there anyone who thought of me this far, except for her real family?
Her nose twitched slightly.
Erin tugged at her sleeve.
Then, blushing a little, she said.
“Do you have plans for this Sunday?”
“No. Why all of a sudden?”
“What is that, your familiar seems to like monster gibier cooking. Do you want to go with me because I know a good Monster Gibier restaurant in Korea? Try it yourself, it’s really good.”
Asked, turning her head toward her Catherine.
Then she smiled brightly and nodded her head quickly.
“Okay then let’s go on Sunday. Is it far from here?”
“I have to drive for about three hours. I have a driver’s license, so I’ll borrow a car.”
While me and Lee Rin made a specific appointment and caught the monster, Do Hyeon-woo and Jang So-yul, who were following us, murmured.
“I don’t think the fact that he won against Seong Joo-hyeok is bullshit…”
“What should I do, I’m going to be cursed again if I mess around with this.”
“It’s all because of you!”
“Why is it all because of me?!”
… And a noisy love fight began.
