Helmut

Episode 121

“Next, I will announce the awards. There are awards for up to 5th place. 5th place: 10 Academy meal tickets; 4th place; 4th place; high-quality quill and ink; 3rd place; 10 gift certificates to the Academy bookstore; 2nd place; a personal training center voucher; 1st place can receive all these benefits. “Professor Dwayne will be at the campground, so don’t go too far and come back right away if anyone is hurt!”

Instructor Alan made the final declaration.

“The hunting competition starts now!”

Everyone started moving. To find better game, you have to go far away from your campsite.

Traveling on foot would be limited, so we needed to manage our time to return before 5 p.m.

If your prey is large, you can use vis to bring it in, but it will take a long time. I had to hurry.

As soon as the smart and wealthy students left the camp, they complained.

“The product is very weak.”

“It’s for students, so you can’t bet money on it. “Second place is a bit coveted.”

“I’m first place.”

“Of course, isn’t first place the best? “But where is your personal training center?”

“It’s better to practice alone and in privacy than to practice in one place with sweaty people.”

“If my grades are good this semester, can’t I use the private training center next semester?”

“that’s right. But it’s going to be difficult for you to get good grades anyway, so why don’t you hope for some luck in the hunt?”

“what? This bastard! “You sound like someone else is talking.”

“I will be lucky today. I had a good dream. “A dream of picking up gold in the forest.”

“Get hit with bird poop as yellow as gold!”

For some reason, there were some guys who spoke in a quarrelsome tone, while there were also some guys who were very sympathetic.

“It’s cruel. “I won’t do it.”

“Pretending to be noble.”

“You’re acting noble. Have you ever seen the eyes of a fawn that lost its mother? “I don’t know how pitiful that looks.”

“I’ve never seen that, but I know something. The meat of the fawn is tender and delicious. “The whole roast was excellent.”

“You beast!”

Fortunately, there was no disagreement between Helmut and Asuka. Both were planning to actively participate in the hunting competition.

Asuka was especially motivated. He shouted, his eyes shining.

“Okay, at least second place. Secure a private training space!”

Asuka immediately asked Helmut.

“Is there a suitable place to hunt? “There are a lot of people around here, so I think they’ll run away.”

“There will be game near the water. “I’m coming to drink water.”

“Wasn’t there a waterfront on the way? It’s a bit far, but it’s worth going. “It will take about two hours round trip.”

“Let’s go there.”

The members of Group 9 followed Helmut and Asuka. It wasn’t a rule to move by group, but for some reason, it happened that way.

The two ran lightly through the forest. Although I ran lightly, it was quite fast. The members of Group 9 had to grit their teeth to comply.

They are also in the swordsmanship department, so it is difficult to fall behind. My pride didn’t allow it.

“Oh, it’s a bit difficult. “Aren’t they all coming soon?”

After a while, Asuka stopped and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Even the bridge of my nose was wet.

The members of Group 9, who soon arrived, were already out of breath. Those who had been following him fell, leaning against trees or collapsing on the floor.

“Gasp, how come you don’t even take a break!”

“I thought I was going to die while following you.”

Whether it’s hunting or something, I ended up lying down like this. Asuka snorted at the scattered team members.

“Who told you to follow me?”

Helmut, looking at them, looked fine, as if he had just gone for a walk. Ironically, not a single drop of sweat formed on his face.

“You can walk to the water for about 5 minutes from here. Kill any traces in this area and walk. “The prey will soon come into view.”

“Okay, let’s get it done quickly!”

As Asuka raised her fist, the faces of Team 9 darkened.

“Do you want to go right away?”

“Hey, take a break…”

“No, let’s act separately from here. “If there are too many of them, it interferes with hunting.”

In any case, only one person can catch one prey. Everyone here is a competitor after all. Including Asuka, but I don’t think we can shake him off right now.

‘It would be better to shake it off.’

It’s better without Asuka if you want Black Hawk to get to him. Because you will be able to deal with it freely on your own.

First of all, I had to drop the other guys here.

What Helmut wanted was battle. A battle after a long time! Even though I know that I must avoid murder because I cannot do it, I cannot help but wish for it. May the inevitable battle come to him.

Helmut added.

“You guys also split up the staff. “If there are too many of them, it will actually interfere with hunting.”

The members of Group 9 looked at each other.

“good.”

“We both move separately.”

“It will be okay if we split them in two.”

“There’s no need to rush, so let’s take a break and move on.”

“Sure.”

Helmut left immediately after leaving them talking.

I had to increase the distance a little more. To a faraway place where no one will detect the fight.

I just happened to think of a good way to deal with Asuka.

‘I guess I’ll just have to show off the game.’

A prey animal that can look forward to a heavy and huge victory. I’ll be able to stop by early and send it to you.

Helmut decided not to get involved in the hunting competition. He moved to the water’s edge, carefully observing the traces.

Large animals always leave traces. As I got closer to the water, a strong scent filled my nose.

Resin was oozing from the damaged tree. Judging by the fact that it hasn’t hardened yet, it’s a wound I got a while ago.

‘It’s a claw mark.’

Asuka, who was following, asked as if she were bored.

“What is there?”

If he found his prey, he would chase it like crazy and shoot an arrow, but he couldn’t wait patiently.

“Ah, these marks. “It looks like a bear.”

It was at a height where I could just stand up and scratch the tree.

“A bear? If you catch that, don’t you think you’ve won first place?”

Asuka asked with wide eyes. He looks full of hope.

“Maybe.”

There is no guarantee that there will not be someone who catches better prey.

But Helmut wanted to send Asuka away quickly. I thought I could do that if I did well.

‘Judging by the height at which it scratches its claws, it’s a big guy.’

“Hey, but there are two of us. “Now that you know there’s a bear, if you track it down and catch it, it’s yours, right?”

In an unusual way, we consider each case. Before Helmut could say anything, Asuka quickly came to a conclusion.

“No, I’m going to do the same, and I might find it first. Let’s assume that the one who shoots both arrows and ends their lives has ownership.”

“…As you wish.”

Faced with eyes full of greed, Helmut answered half-heartedly.

It was a competition that had no advantage for Asuka, who had seen Helmut shoot an archer before. At least I had a conscience.

I got lucky too. They were soon able to find their target without even following the trail. Asuka narrowed her eyes.

“Isn’t that a bear?”

I saw a brown bear walking slowly on all fours and approaching the water.

Judging by its size, it appears to have made marks on the tree with its claws. I am walking leisurely without knowing anything.

Asuka spit out, aiming her bow right away.

“The person who takes his or her life has the right.”

Helmut also formally aimed his bow. The bowstring was pulled tautly. If you let go of this hand, the arrow will pierce the bear’s back. You will die without pain.

Helmut suddenly became curious.

‘Will the seeds of darkness react to killing animals?’

I have been avoiding killing ever since I killed two second-tier mercenaries and suffered the aftereffects.

He didn’t care about the ants or grass that might have been trampled to death under his feet, but since then, nothing has died in his hands.

‘It’s not a test situation.’

Asuka released the bowstring first. Passat! The arrow was fired towards the target with a sharp sound.

puck! The arrow narrowly missed the bear and landed in a tree. It’s because he suddenly increased his speed.

-The bear

made a sound out of alertness. Helmut let go of the bowstring.

Passat! Without fail, the arrow grazed its front leg. Blood was flowing down.

-Kaaaaaaaa!

The bear howled in pain and immediately jumped on the ground. It was in the opposite direction from which the arrow flew.

If it were a vicious guy, it would have been easy to rush at them, but the big guy immediately got rid of them.

However, since his leg is injured, his escape is limited.

“Good!”

Like a wild animal chasing its prey, Asuka started running with her eyes flashing. Helmut followed closely behind.

Asuka was running, aiming her bow and shooting arrows at random. Even though it was shot in a hurry, it was quite accurate.

The third arrow succeeded in hitting the torso of the fleeing bear.

“Kaaang!”

Asuka quickly measured the arrow as she approached the fallen bear. This time, I aimed accurately at the head and let go of the bowstring.

puck! The bear’s movements stopped. The energy of life disappeared from my trembling body. My breath stopped.

Asuka screamed with excitement.

“I got it! saw?”

Helmut, who was standing at a distance for fear of affecting the sprout of darkness, pressed down on his chest. Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.

‘Is it okay if I don’t kill him directly? It seems like animals are okay.’

When catching monsters, there was some influence due to the demon spirit. But it doesn’t seem to have stimulated the sprouts of darkness that much.

‘For now, all you have to do is avoid direct murder.’

Helmut came to a conclusion. Asuka circled around the bear’s carcass and admired it.

“Hey, at this level, I could really come in first place.”

He said he shot it recklessly, but it was his first game he caught with an arrow.

But he soon realized something strange.

“But why didn’t you get a single hit while I kept shooting?”

Asuka looked at him with suspicious eyes. Helmut, who happened to think of a good excuse, answered indifferently.

“You were in front of me. “You can’t shoot an arrow because it’s in the way.”

“what? Is that so? Who said it was that slow? All you have to do is beat me.”

Asuka ran out first without thinking and scratched the bridge of her nose.

“But it’s good that I caught it, but how can I carry this bear? I think this is enough, but shouldn’t you hunt something too?”

As he says that, his eyes look wary, fearing that he might catch a better prey than his own bear. He was a guy whose insides were clearly visible.

“You can go back to camp first. “I’ll try hunting some more.”

“Then it won’t work. “I told you to act together at least two people because you never know what might happen.”

“What do you think is going to happen to me?”

“Hey, don’t be cocky. “There could be something dangerous lurking in a forest like this.”

It may have been said without much thought, but it had a keen sense.

“Then…”

At that moment, a chilling sensation arose. Helmut suddenly looked back. This was the direction they had left.

“Ugh!”

A scream broke out. It could be heard faintly at quite a distance. But it was a familiar voice.

“what? “What’s going on?”

Asuka clicked her tongue. It was an expression without any sense of crisis.

“Basil!”

On the other side, someone called my name at the top of my voice. It is 9 trillion won. Shouts erupted one after another.

“Oh my god, are you okay?”

“Basil!”
