Episode 12
EPISODE.06
Cold enough to make the back of your neck goosebumps. A voice like the wind in the middle of a winter night.
Anton’s steps stopped on the spot.
Somehow, my footsteps did not fall.
It was as if a nail had been driven into place.
In the meantime, my trembling fingertips were reflected in Anton’s eyes.
‘Am I saying I’m scared? Is that just because of his voice?’
Among his classmates, he was even called the inferior of inferior students.
It seems that the evaluation has changed a little lately, but anyway.
If there were no special countermeasures or measures, he was also the one who was in fact guaranteed to be repaid.
On the other hand, if not to the top class in school, he is to some extent. He is a promising player of his own who is performing at the upper middle level or higher.
To think that he was frightened by the voice of an inferior student.
‘I can not admit it.’
Anton clenched his fists tightly.
Immediately after, he turned around as if to shake off his fear. It was meant to pour out even a single swear word.
However.
“omg-.”
Something penetrated Anton’s brain faster than that.
Amber-colored eyes The intense light from Russell’s pupils wrapped around Anton’s body as if it were a spider’s web.
The gaze of a predator that stimulates primitive instincts.
‘What kind of eyes?’
A chilling voice that made me numb for a moment. The chill you could feel in that voice.
It was an eye-glow as if all of those things had come together.
Her usual crimson eyes also matched her eyes and looked quite sharp, but not to this extent.
From the moment our eyes met, no words came out.
No, I didn’t open my mouth.
I felt like a rat in front of a snake or something bigger than that.
Russell slowly approaches Anton, whether or not he knows his pupils.
Swoop-.
He reached out and grabbed his collar, chewing on each bite and spitting it out.
“Tell me again.”
A low but clear voice wraps around heavily.
“What did my family say my father did?”
family and father.
To Russell, these two were like the inverted scales of an oriental dragon.
A story that shouldn’t be touched.
But Anton had touched it.
Is it because The light that covered her eyes had long since disappeared, but Russell’s spirit hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
“Oh don’t let go? This baby …. ”
To get rid of that momentum and his fear, Anton tried to scream something by sprinkling Russell’s hand.
However, there was a voice that cut between the two of them faster than that.
“Two people there. What are you doing?”
It was the voice of a professor passing nearby. Hearing that voice coming from a short distance away, Russell let go of the collar he was holding onto.
Immediately after, I passed by him and coldly kicked my brain.
“I know you are lucky.”
Even if it wasn’t today, there’d be plenty of opportunities to fix this damn bastard.
and-.
-It didn’t take long for that opportunity to come.
.
.
“Russell Raymond. come forward.”
* * *
It was in a class a few days later that Russell and Anton met again.
Originally, it is impossible for two people of different classes to meet in the same class.
But there was one class that was the only one that could do that.
‘Practical magic combat science.’
A class dealing with various combat methods based on actual combat and using magic.
It is one of the practical subjects that are newly established after entering the 4th grade because it is more dangerous than other classes.
Unlike other classes that are usually conducted in one class unit, this class was a class in which two classes were grouped into one class.
‘Was it for the variety of situations and battles?’
In the case of the beta (β) class he belongs to, the class was held together with the alpha (α) class, and it was for this reason that Russell and Anton met again today.
In addition to the two classes conducting classes together -.
‘As the risk is high, the number of professors in charge of the subject has also doubled to two.’
Besides, that was not the only feature of this class.
‘It’s actually an important test that accounts for more than half of the practical evaluation score.’
Unlike the previous 1 2 3 grade.
After entering the senior year, the senior year, there were no midterm and final exams.
Instead, there are only graduation exams and practical evaluations. And it was the grade in this class that took the highest score in the practical evaluation.
‘So… before the regression, I hated this subject to death.’
Unlike writing, where you can improve your grades if you work hard.
The reason for this is that in the case of classes with high practicality, he, who was born with the punishment of heaven, could not get good grades no matter how hard he tried.
furthermore.
‘There were plenty of guys who were aiming for me like hyenas for their own grades.’
At the time, he had just passed the 1st circle, and he must have seemed like a very tasty prey to other students.
Russell quietly closed his eyes at the memory of the not-so-good past.
‘but.’
It’s just a story of the past.
Russell’s eyes, which had been quietly closed, were reopened, and there was not even a hint of heart in Russell’s eyes.
The heavenly sentence that held his ankle like shackles, now he was overcoming the heavenly sentence.
at that time.
match!
“…I think this is enough for the precautions and basic knowledge.”
One of the professors, who was talking about the class in the middle of the class, clapped his hands lightly.
The professor, who focused the attention of the students like that, continued talking again.
“Then, from now on, we will proceed with the actual battle.”
As soon as he finishes speaking, another professor lightly moves his hand.
coo gu gu ge geung-!
The earth began to wriggle along with his fingertips, and a wall of earth rose in the form of a large circle.
The height is about the waist of an adult man.
The professor who first clapped his hands while watching the scene explained the rules.
“The actual battle will proceed in a two-person team.”
A structure in which the person who is called first comes inside the earth wall and points out another person to be the opponent.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can point to the same opponent consecutively in every class.
‘It wouldn’t be fair to do so.’
The vicious cycle repeats, where the winning side continues to win and the losing side continues to lose.
“Then first…”
Alpha and Beta.
“Russell.”
The professor, who was looking around the students in the two classes, muttered.
“Russell Raymond. come forward.”
All eyes are focused on Russell.
Some of them were looking at him, hoping that he would point them out.
The idea was so obvious that Russell made a small complaint.
As if he was used to it, he brushed off his robe and stood up.
‘I fully expected that I would be called first.’
Because it was like that in my previous life.
Of course, this is the first class, so it would be the professor’s own consideration.
‘It may be different in reality, but my skills that are known to the outside world are still around 1 circle.’
That’s why he gave himself the right to nominate the opponent by calling his name first.
The consideration of pointing out opponents of a similar level and allowing them to engage in their first sparring.
Of course, this consideration was limited to the first class.
‘After that, it’s pure weaklings.’
The meaning of practical in front of the name of the class must be just that.
flutter -.
As he flutters the hem of his robe and jumps over the earthen walls to enter, one of the professors approaches him.
“We’re watching, so don’t worry about getting hurt and point your opponent.”
Russell nodded and looked back at the students.
I’m sorry for the gazes that desperately want you to be pointed out.
‘The target to point out has already been decided.’
There is no need to hesitate or worry. Breaking the strange silence that had fallen between the students.
“Anton.”
-Russell called a person by name.
“come out. Anton Frederick.”
* * *
Anton’s ears burned bright red at Russell’s point.
‘How dare you name me?’
It was because of the shame and anger at the thought of being singled out by an inferior student.
Feeling the other students staring at him as if they were mocking him, Anton took a slow, heavy breath.
I thought about it, trying to control the emotions that were intensified with anger.
‘No, it went well.’
It’s a bit embarrassing, but maybe this was an opportunity.
A chance to let the guy know the gap with himself.
‘At the same time, I’ll be able to restore the honor of the family that the idiot-like younger brother threw into the ground.’
Of course, something that had happened a few days ago had bothered me a little. But it was only a very small amount anyway.
‘It must be an illusion.’
It must be an illusion.
Maybe, depending on the day, something was not feeling well.
If it wasn’t for that, there was no way he would have been frightened by such an inferior student, even if it was just for a moment.
“I will make you regret it. Russell.”
Thinking so, Anton got up from his seat and jumped over the earthen wall in an instant.
Chuck flutter.
He slowly rotated the circle’s mana to prepare for battle.
Woo woo woo-.
The two circles resonate, and the wave of magical power spreads through the earth wall.
Mana management, which is quite good for a student.
one of the professors asked Russell in a worried voice.
“Are you really going to be okay?”
He was the first professor to call Russell by name and give him the right to be nominated.
“If you want, even now, the other person…”
“It’s okay.”
Russell replied firmly.
“Thank you for your concern, but I am really fine. professor. And…”
He has debts to pay.
did you hear that?
Anton’s eyebrows trembled as he approached Russell before he knew it.
“Debt?”
If it was debt, it would rather be on this side?
“okay.”
Receiving the momentum from Anton’s mana head-on, Russell responded with a calm voice.
“A debt for insulting my family and my father in front of me.”
Family rebuilding and father’s revenge.
Even in the midst of struggling against the wall of reality, Russell never forgot those two things for a moment.
On the contrary, he regretted and cursed himself every night for not being able to do those two things.
However, in front of such Russell, he is his father and family. It insulted them both at the same time.
“What are you talking about? If it’s an insult, it’s not your crumbling family, but our baron Frederick…”
“I can’t.”
Before Anton could finish his words, a wave of magic surged along Russell’s body.
Power that is so strong that even an inferior student cannot believe it.
Whoops!
As the generated magic power pushed away Anton’s magic power, it covered the inside of the earthen wall.
Not enough of that, it went over the walls and spread throughout the classroom.
Hwaaak.
A mana so clear that even the students, let alone professors, can clearly feel it.
“Isn’t this the second circle?”
Russell-.
“That Russell made it to the 2nd circle?”
“whenever?”
“Then, wasn’t the image you showed after school started a coincidence?”
-It was the moment when you revealed to everyone that your level had entered the 2nd circle.
“Anyway, you should get fit today.”
