Chapter 43 – Practice
At the same time as Fortuna’s signal, Jun immediately jumped through space.
The destination he set was a grassy forest a little away from the battlefield.
There, after shooting the crossbow at the assassin designated by Fortuna, he jumped through space again.
The moment the assassin was hit by a bolt in the shoulder and screamed, Jun appeared behind him.
Because of the pain he felt in his shoulder, the assassin noticed his appearance a beat later.
If you do it right, the timing can be done in one go.
Without wasting time, Jun pulled Firmus out of subspace and swung it towards the assassin.
Just as I was about to cut down the assassin, I made eye contact with him.
When I looked into those eyes filled with resentment, anger, and resignation, my arms suddenly lost strength.
Thanks to that moment of hesitation, the assassin was able to survive.
Chang!
The sword clashed with the sword and sparks flew out.
Jun gritted his teeth as the bright red thing seemed to somehow berate his own weakness.
He took advantage of the rotational force generated by swinging the sword and threw a kick.
Since he had barely blocked the attack, the assassin, who had not yet adjusted his stance, allowed the blow to proceed.
The assassin’s body floated in the air like a ball kicked by his foot.
‘Once an advantageous situation arises, never give the enemy a chance.’
Something Robin emphasized one day came to mind.
Jun quickly took out 6 blades from subspace and threw them at the assassin.
“Ugh!”
Just before the lightning flew by and was hit, the assassin let out a groan and wrapped his body tightly with his cloak.
A cloak that started making a driving sound like ‘jiing~’.
Soon, beads were placed on top of it.
Shake it off!
The assassin’s body fell to the ground helplessly.
The assassin who fell to the floor, like a MUCH killed by a suicide bomber, could only twitch and hardly stand up.
But Jun only frowned and did not approach him.
According to what we observed through radar, the secretaries penetrated the cloak, but were unable to dig deep.
In addition, the assassin’s actual wounds were minimal as the assassin turned his body to protect the vital area just before being hit.
However, seeing as he didn’t wake up, he must have thought he was done and was aiming for a fatal wound when he approached him without warning.
Such a sloppy trick could not have fooled Jun, who had a high level of thinking and observation skills, just like any other person would.
Instead of approaching, Jun pulled out a large ax the size of a saint’s torso from subspace and threw it at the assassin.
Only then did the guy stand up and dodge his axe.
The assassin, whose deception was discovered, opened his mouth with difficulty, with surprise, astonishment, disbelief, and anger in his eyes.
“W-what kind of power does this guy have… How can he become an auror? “I didn’t have that information.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t plan on engaging in conversation while I’m fighting for my life.”
I can assure you, nothing good came from talking to the enemy.
8 or 9 out of 10 people end up being tricked or just end up feeling uneasy.
Jun pointed Firmus at the assassin as if there was no need to say anything more.
‘Shit! Zenjaang!’
The assassin looked around, swearing inwardly at the dull attitude that did not show the slightest hesitation.
To find a rope that will save his life.
However, the assassin soon despaired.
There was no rope anywhere that could save his life.
In the distance, the ‘former’ team leader was lying on the ground with his head missing, and the assistant team leader was literally on the verge of death.
I couldn’t see the rest of the seniors, but seeing the constant screaming in the forest made it seem like they were being unilaterally trampled.
Or they are being suppressed and are being tortured.
Anyway, there was no one who could help the assassin.
Therefore, he had to overcome this difficulty with only his own strength.
‘Can do. I can do it.’
The assassin repeated in his mind and looked straight at the enemy in front of him.
A 10-year-old orphan.
His height and size were greater than those of his age, but they were nothing compared to him.
Triple core.
It’s definitely amazing, but since it’s young, it probably hasn’t matured yet.
‘Is it possible. What happened to me was due to surprise, negligence, and inconsistency in information. If I fight seriously without panicking, my chances of winning are higher.’
After calming down his mind, the assassin pulled out the dagger from his belt.
Then, he activated the Auror core to strengthen his body, dagger, and cloak.
When the results of his hard training were revealed, a happy smile appeared on the assassin’s face.
But that smile doesn’t last long,
“Fuck life.”
It was horribly crumpled.
――――――――
Three driving sounds vaguely heard.
It was said that the assassin had strengthened three things through Auror.
3 reinforcements. In short, the 3rd class is a skill that can only be achieved if the skills are at the level of a reserve knight (squire).
I felt it from the time I stopped Bido, but that assassin was no ordinary person.
‘That guy is the weakest guy on the team. ‘Where on earth does he belong?’
If you ask me, the reason Formaman, who was very worried, picked that guy was probably because he was the weakest among the assassins.
Judging from that fact, there was a high probability that these guys belonged to one of the leading assassination organizations or families that made assassination their business, rather than some random idiot.
If the speculation is true, now that he has been targeted by those guys, he will be able to comfortably count himself as a failure for the next five years.
‘No, the king doesn’t know either? Royal road? Why are you going to Sado?’
There are 5 years left until Leon’s coming-of-age ceremony.
If there’s this much left, shouldn’t we just take it easy in the beginning and let the kids go and see the time go by little?
Like Mashef (the devil) who often appears in novels and comics.
‘Why on earth is it so urgent that you bring in guys who are supposed to come out halfway through?’
Jun grumbled again and frowned.
The assassin’s expression brightened noticeably, perhaps because he judged that the reaction was due to an unfavorable situation.
Jun, who was in an terrible mood due to the worst guess, did not want to just look at that expression.
Skill-Realize
Jun’s willful psychic energy was absorbed into the Aurors and led them as he imagined.
Jing, Jing, Jing
Three clear driving sounds coming from Jun’s body, Firmus, and Premium.
As soon as those sounds rang out, the assassin’s expression suddenly distorted as if it had never happened before.
I felt a little better.
Even though I don’t have any special equipment to strengthen, what kind of expression would I make if I found out that I could make it to the top 6, top 9, or even top 12 if I put my mind to it?
Jun laughed at the passing image and rushed at the faltering assassin.
The moment it approached right in front of you,
Magic-Blink
Once again, he jumped through the space behind the assassin and swung Firmus with all his might on the spot.
Chang!
Unlike before, the assassin, who had come to his senses, blocked the attack in time.
However, due to his sudden turning, he was unable to properly balance his body.
In the ensuing clash, the assassin was unable to make a proper counterattack and had to keep retreating.
‘Damn it!’
The assassin struggled as hard as he could, but was unable to stop his retreat.
I knew the truth.
He realized that his disadvantage was not just due to his posture.
Fast and accurate swordsmanship, tremendous output from the triple core, and the quality and compatibility of the equipment.
He could not overpower any of the most important things in battle.
The more I retreated, the more I felt like I was sinking into a swamp of despair.
“Fuck! It sucks so finish it quickly!”
An assassin’s cry full of despair and anger.
Jun still wanted to continue his battle, but he couldn’t ignore the cry.
‘Just this.’
Pajik! Puzzle!
The trait has been activated.
Jun’s eyes, which were as black as the night sky, became clear blue as if struck by lightning in the sky, and soon a bright blue electric current erupted from his entire body.
“Haha, you monster.”
“…”
Did see Jun’s traits bring about a change in his heart? The assassin’s voice made me feel at ease, as if I had let go of everything.
For some reason, Jun’s voice sounded much heavier than before.
So he neither confirmed nor denied
He didn’t ask what my name was or if I had any last words. Unnecessary baggage was a requirement.
Skill-Realize
The electric current that was bouncing around gathered into Firmus according to Jun’s imagination.
Soon, Firmus’ plain, jet-black blade began to emit bright blue light and electricity like a lightsaber.
The assassin asked, looking at the sparkling sword with dreamy eyes.
“That’s great. “What is the name of the technology?”
“… Chidori sword.”
“Baby, I thought you were dumb. You won’t teach me the name of the skill, and you won’t be able to cut it? “You’re a kid.”
“Yes, I’m a kid.”
So, it was not strange for someone to tell me the name of the technology or to feel secretly proud after saying it.
Honestly, how can you tolerate that?
Before he knew it, Port Maman, who had finished the battle and was watching him, gave him a pitiful look, as if he were looking at a child who had lost his head.
Jun desperately ignored that gaze.
“I was trying to be sarcastic, but why do you like it? Well, that’s it. Let’s get this over with.”
“…”
Jun and the assassin pointed their swords at each other.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if there were only two people in this space at this moment.
At that time, a ray of wind passed between the two, followed by…
Chichichichichichi!
The sound of a thousand birds chirping echoed throughout the area.
