Episode 3
EPISODE.02
“It’s finally here.”
Entering the bathroom located at the corner of the academy, they surround Russell as if they had been waiting.
“Something like a slug is slow and explodes.”
I opened my eyes and looked down at Russell. Otherwise, it must have looked menacing.
However, Russell’s face when he met those eyes was only plain.
‘hmm.’
A few years of freelancing.
During that time, Russell wasn’t just sitting at his desk doing chores.
Even just doing mercenary activities in parallel, it was well enough to reach triple digits.
And about half of them were experiences participating in monster subjugation.
‘Compared to the monsters and mercenaries’ murderous intentions that I felt at the time…’
The menace of these guys seemed rather cute.
‘I can’t be frightened by the expressions that are close to simply threatening the little ones who don’t even have real combat experience.’
Feed-.
As I laughed, the faces of the two guys standing on either side were distorted.
“Smile?”
Right after that, the guy standing in the center stepped out.
It was the same guy who hit me in the back of the head.
“hey. Russell.”
“what.”
When I replied with a calm tone, the guy’s eyebrows wriggled in a strange curve.
What followed was a much more roaring voice than before.
“I must have told you to write down our own in class, but how dare you ignore me and fall asleep?”
Saying that I should be punished because I dared to ignore my words and fell asleep, and so on. Obvious and stereotypical threats are pouring in one after another.
At that threat, Russell stuck his tongue out.
‘I can’t believe I lived in fear of these guys.’
It’s to the point where you feel ugly because your past is unfair.
‘It’s not even funny. A bastard.’
Eventually, Russell swears at his past self.
A few paychecks at the academy and the years that followed were enough to instill miasma in him.
He raised his eyes and stared at the man who was still making threats that bordered on a speech.
“Coma Frederick.”
Even if it wasn’t so, I just remembered exactly who the guy standing in the middle was.
A face full of freckles with a fairly large body. Dyed light brown hair.
“Unlike the eldest in the family line or the twin brother in the top line, the other half will have nothing.”
“What what?”
The coma shuddered at the voice that stabbed her sore spot and the sudden change in Russell’s atmosphere as if the person had changed.
But Russell’s transformation was only just beginning.
Is it because of the memories of living with these guys?
Somehow, the heat starts to spread in my head.
The
fever that started like that ran through my fingertips and toes.
It was right after.
The two eyes, which had been shining crimson, began to glow with ominous amber eyes.
Hwaaak-.
A change that Russell himself did not notice.
“you you-.”
Russell’s shot was faster than saying “Your eyes.”
“Aristocratic ranks and upper ranks as well. An idiot who is wasting his entire life in the academy on the subject of not being properly inherited.”
From the inside of the amber eyes, a vertically slit pupil appeared.
Fire!
Soon, unheard-of momentum arose from Russell, who opened his reptilian eyes.
“A typical small person who picks out and harasses commoners and weaker motives while doing nothing to the children of nobles who are stronger or higher in rank than me.”
After spitting out what I wanted to say without stopping, Russell asked teasingly, ‘Isn’t that right?’
It’s a bitter poison.
But there was something even more disturbing in Coma’s head than that vicious remark.
It was the energy and the light in his eyes that flowed from Russell’s body.
“Uh uh-.”
Eyes of a predator that make the whole body tremble just by facing each other.
An overbearing feeling, as if something huge was looking down on you.
What flows from the end of that sense. it was horror
Fear of the strong is imprinted deep in human instinct.
A mouse placed in front of a cat no.
Maybe this is how the chicken felt in front of the basilisk.
The bodies of the three begin to tremble with chills and fear as if they had been covered with cold water.
“…?”
Why are these bastards suddenly like this?
The moment Russell questions the anomaly.
“Aaaaaaa!”
Coma screamed.
I clenched my fists tightly to overcome my fear.
It’s a situation that has stimulated a lot, so he will attack.
He’s like a wild boar, so he won’t just scream and put up with it.
‘Will magic come?’
no it won’t be
Conflicts between students using magic are not only prohibited by school rules, but-.
‘Because their magic level isn’t that high.’
Even though he had a home to go back to, the proof was that he stayed behind to take supplementary classes during vacation.
Of course, if you look at it in detail, it will be a little better than yourself.
‘Even if I’m in the same 1st circle, I’m only 3 months old, whereas these guys are going to be almost a year old.’
However, at least 1 circle.
It was the level of a student who had not even experienced a proper real battle.
Not only that, but he was also a guy who wasted his life neglecting both magic and studies.
‘Either casting speed or magic proficiency.’
Either way, fists would still be more comfortable than magic.
just as expected.
“This monster bastard has a pierced mouth!”
In the end, Coma’s fist, unable to hold back his anger, was thrown out.
It was a fist that would have been quite menacing in the past.
‘but-.’
He went through countless melee while subjugating monsters.
The reason why I was able to survive in the melee was not simply because I was lucky.
‘In order to make up for his lack of magic skills, he learned boxing techniques and dogfighting skills.’
Skills learned after buying the mercenaries alcohol or rice.
As it was a skill used by mercenaries, it wasn’t that great.
However, in other words, each time the melee was repeated, the skills gradually became accustomed to the body.
therefore.
‘This is about a fist.’
I dodged his fists by lowering my head slightly, and the booing-sound pierced my ears.
Wow!
He punched his fist into the center of his exposed chest.
“Fuck!”
Coma’s body twisted like a scythe at the sudden surge of pain.
He let out a lot of saliva and let out a moan.
It was because he was surprised by Russell’s unexpected defiance and intense shock, as well as felt pain.
But there was something more surprising than that.
It was Russell who succeeded in the attack.
‘What is this?’
A neat dodge move with a much lighter body than expected.
Even the offensive continued like flowing water.
It was an unbelievable reaction speed for a body of this era.
While you are surprised by your own movements.
“This bastard?”
“Are you really crazy today?”
Overcoming their fear at Coma’s cry, the two thugs quickly jumped toward Russell.
What followed
was a dog fight.
‘- I thought it would be.’
Russell put on a bewildered expression in a situation that seemed easier than expected.
I thought I would have to fight in the mud because I was pushed out of numbers and physique.
‘Not only can the attack be read clearly, but the body can move as it wants.’
At this level, it seemed that even a three-on-one match could win without difficulty.
An ogre who jumped among the goblin horde.
‘Even if it’s not – I think it’s about the level of a troll?’
It’s a leisurely movement that makes me think of trivial thoughts.
Besides, I don’t know why, but every time our eyes meet.
Their bodies even trembled as if they were terrified.
stiff-.
Hammer-like straights to the temples, chin, nose, etc. It seemed to be sucked into every vital point.
Coma’s body collapsed as he couldn’t stand the attack.
The other two fell first and have been crawling on the floor for a long time.
Still, he is the leader of the alley play and he endured the longest.
“You you… you know who I dare to be. My dad is an aristocrat. Ear…”
“That’s funny.”
Russell reached out.
Kwak.
With one hand, he gripped Coma’s hair violently and said while making eye contact with him.
“When he was bullied, he was excited, but when he was beaten back, it was like he was looking for his father. Isn’t it a little funny when you think about it?”
The eyes of courtesy and the indescribable fear flowing from them!
It seemed as if the amber eyes were randomly roaming through my brain.
“Uh uh…”
This is how the mouse felt in front of the basilisk.
No matter what he wanted to protest, what came out was just inappropriate language.
Russell lashed out at him.
He was still unaware of the change that had taken place in him.
“And just because your father is a noble doesn’t mean you are a noble too, right?”
Baron Frederick’s family was not a high-ranking family as aristocrats.
But it wasn’t a family with a huge tax either.
In such a Baron Frederick family, the only person who can inherit the nobility is the first one who inherits the title.
“That’s why your twin brother and you came all the way to the academy to learn magic. You stupid bastard.”
With that last word, Russell’s fist slammed his temple mercilessly.
Wow!
The shock caused his head to slam on the bathroom floor and bang!
He warned as he watched the spilled nosebleed wet the bathroom floor.
“This is the end. Don’t be shy in front of my eyes again.”
Then, when he got up again, the amber light that covered Russell’s eyes had long since disappeared.
“Ugh.”
Right after that, Russell staggered from the sudden dizziness.
It was because of the overwhelming feeling as if all the strength was draining from the body.
‘Was I too excited?’
Maybe it was the excitement that made my body move better than I expected.
While Russell thinks so.
Dang dang dang-.
The break was over and the bell rang announcing that the next class had begun.
At the sound of the bell, Russell muttered, frowning.
“Oh shit.”
what is the next class
Without time to go on worrying about it.
anger.
[The mission has been completed. Compensation will be given.]
A translucent green window covered my eyes.
A piece of red stone much smaller than a fingernail landed on the palm of my hand.
Took-.
