Episode 26 Graduater (1)
The number of people born into the Baskervilles was still high, and the number of people dying was still high.
The front wave of the River Styx pushes out the back wave.
Seven years have passed since the day the two eight-year-olds competed.
* * *
“This instructor can become an angel or a devil depending on how the youngsters do it!”
A young dog with a short beard was shouting in a loud voice.
His name is Baskerville, Staffordshire. 35 years old this year. A seasoned knight of intermediate grade.
Although he was from an outsider commoner who did not even receive the middle name of ‘Ban’, let alone ‘Ra’, he was given the surname of Baskerville due to his outstanding qualities and upright mind, and was a positional figure who washed his lineage.
In particular, his ‘piercing fang’ swordsmanship is said to have reached the level of the 4th type of Baskerville.
Four teeth perfectly drawn.
With this level of skill, he would be qualified to lead and teach the young Baskervilles right now.
“Okay! Last practice! Practice like real combat! Real combat like real combat! Everyone knows this instructor, I believe!”
Staffordshire scanned the 15- and 16-year-old Baskervilles in front of her.
Everyone looks tired and tired. However, the stigma and miasma emanating from the eyes are getting thicker and thicker.
All of the 15-16-year-old young Baskervilles here are swordsmen who have perfectly mastered the Sword Expert Low Class Baskerville Type 1.
Staffordshire checked the momentum of the trainees and turned their heads again.
In the center of the arena they surrounded stood a huge bear on two legs.
This giant bear, which weighs 800 kg and is 3 meters tall, has one peculiarity besides its size.
It has two sharp horns on top of its head.
< Oxbear >
Risk Level: A
Size: 5m
Location of discovery: Red and Black Mountains 7th ridge
– A very large bear with two huge horns.
Carnivorous bears are the strongest land predators, near-perfect killing weapons, and are known as the strongest and apex of the ecosystem of the 7th ridge of the Black Mountains.
A monster with few natural enemies except for its own kind.
A bear with two huge, curved buffalo horns on its head.
It is a powerful monster whose whole body is covered with thick muscles and fat and stiff hair.
[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]
It seemed that this demon, currently released in the gymnasium, was an adult that hadn’t grown up yet.
Even after being confined for a long time in a cage, they were not very well nourished.
But that also means that this monster is aggressive and nervous.
Staffordshire threatened Oxbear with a sword while encouraging the young Baskervilles behind him.
“Now, you just have to do what you practiced with the corpse of the monster. Last time, you practiced chopping up the corpse of Oxbear, right? You will know.”
The mild-mannered Staffordshire became a completely different person when she stood in front of Oxbear.
Killing spirit emanated from his eyes, and the aura that rose from the tip of his sword swayed like a giant grip.
Staffordshire was overwhelming Oxbear with such a terrifying energy, but he never attacked.
Because it’s not his part.
yet.
[Gaaaaaaagh!]
Oxbear started charging.
A bear running like a water buffalo with its two horns in front.
The young Baskervilles fight back according to their tastes.
Some dodged by spreading left and right, and some brandished swords from the front.
…bang!
Those who avoided it survived, and those who confronted it head-on fell out.
Staffordshire continued.
“If an opponent stronger than you approaches you in a head-to-head confrontation, it is best to avoid it. However, do not avoid it by widening the distance, and avoid it from the side and make small attacks.”
The advice of the leader dog continues.
The young hounds were sucking them up like water, their eyes shining.
“Don’t be greedy to target vital points from the start. It’s easy to get counterattacked. It’s rather the center of the body that slows down movement and reaction speed. In this case, it would be the right hind leg. Aim for these parts first. ”
The young hounds followed the guide dog’s instructions and attacked the two-legged bear in a row near the legs.
Oxbear, who was repeatedly attacked only on his hind legs, lost the use of one of his legs due to the wounds that were gradually opening up.
The menacing horn charge technique was sealed.
By then, the young Baskervilles were showing their teeth in earnest.
Now they were hunting dogs that did well without the instruction of Staffordshire, the leader dog.
Baskerville 1 meal. More than thirty teeth protruded from all over the place and hacked through Oxbear’s body.
Among them, those who showed the most aggression were Hive, Middle, and Low, and the triplets.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The guys became the captain and hunted the bear.
He mercilessly pushes his cheeky brothers who are trying to get ahead of him or the nerdy brothers who lag behind his colleagues.
yet.
…thud!
Oxbear fell.
“Good job.”
Staffordshire drew her sword and approached Oxbear’s corpse.
Awkward –
Eventually, the belly of the bear splits open and the intestines and flesh come out.
After the 4th period of training, lunch time came naturally.
Staffordshire immediately distributed the oxbear’s organs and flesh to the young hounds.
Red chunks of meat steaming hot.
The young Baskervilles munched and swallowed them raw, which an ordinary person would have been unable to eat because of their stomach.
Staffordshire said to the trainees eating.
“Now, listen while you eat. As of today, 3 years and 6 months of basic training and 3 years and 6 months of actual training are all over. Congratulations on your graduation.”
The seven years have turned the snub-nosed children into full-fledged warriors.
Now, everyone here was a young skilled man who could not only put mana on a sword, but also draw a perfect tooth.
But Staffordshire said it was just the beginning.
“Actually, practicing with captured monsters is just a tutorial that’s embarrassing to say that it’s similar to real battles. Now, the youngsters have to create and build experiences for themselves.”
It is always worth listening to the advice of Yeongdo Dog, who has gone through all the prenatal battles.
“Unlike the monsters left in cages for a long time, the wild monsters of Red and Black Mountains are not only healthy and strong, but also have cunning and calm personalities. Even I can’t deal with the tough old ones I see sometimes.”
Even the Oxbear I just killed.
If you get hit by the horns of a grown wild oxbear, followed by a front kick and head biting, it’s dangerous even for a graduate.
Controlled variables Safe environment Established rules.
And the wild, unexplored lands where you can’t survive just by being trained in this environment.
These young hounds have to go there from now on.
The young Baskervilles already knew that.
Staffordshire said, wriggling the scars that ran across her face.
“From now on, you have to go through the hell that unfolds on your own. Either overcome it with your natural lineage or overcome it with your own experience. I have nothing more to say. More!”
He gave up his position as leader dog after a short salute.
The young Baskervilles put down the flesh and viscera they had been eating for a while.
And he made up his mind for the next 21 months of unexplored exploration.
After Staffordshire was gone, they began to chat among themselves in small groups.
“Hey, where did you apply for the Knights?”
“I’m a Doberman for my 1st choice. A pit bull for my 2nd choice. A Rottweiler for my 3rd choice.”
“Oh that doesn’t overlap me at all. I like the Order of the Wolfhound. Then the Shepherd and the Order of the Bull Mastiff.”
The Seven Knights of the Baskervilles.
Each knight order is created and operated for various purposes, such as vigilance search, security guard assassination suppression, and all-out war.
And the best among them was the Wolfhound Knights, which symbolized the power of the family.
“I want to join the Wolfhound Knights too.”
“But is that a place to go just because you want to go there?
“I think realistically, I will support the Doberman Knights. Excluding the Wolfhound Knights, that is actually number one.”
“If you go to the Doberman Knights, you have to be on the lookout for the castle wall for the rest of your life? I’m so bored that I can’t stand it. I’d rather be the Pit Bull Knights who go to the battlefield all the time.”
screaming children.
And naturally, their gaze slowly began to gather toward one place.
‘……But where will that bastard go?’
That was the common question of all the children here.
Even the triplets, who were most active in this Oxbear hunt, put down the pieces of meat they were eating and are slowly paying attention.
Bikir van Baskerville.
Rumor has it that he is Hugo’s illegitimate son brought in from outside the family.
He sat there alone in a secluded place, not taking part in the oxbear hunt.
And at the feet of such a Bikir, a large Oxbear can be seen dead.
It was a much larger individual than the one that had just been killed by the combined efforts of more than 30 children.
There was awe in the eyes of the young Baskervilles who were spying on Bikir.
“Is that kid really 15 years old like us?”
“How do you catch an oxbear by yourself?”
“I heard that you’re already an advanced sword expert?”
“They also drew three teeth.”
“Crazy! You know how to use Baskerville 3 meals? Then it’s almost like a leader dog!”
Respecting the powerful happens in any group, but it’s especially noticeable in the Baskervilles. However
, Vikir himself didn’t pay much attention to such rumors.
Ira.’
Speaking of advanced sword expert, it means the level at which the aura at the tip of the sword is so dense that it crosses between gas and liquid. Usually, the
children of the Baskerville family reach this level between the ages of 20 and 25, but Bikir has already achieved it at the age of 15. Rumor has it…
But…
Bikir’s actual hidden strength was at a level that looked beyond the intermediate grader level, and
was two levels higher than the upper level sword expert level, and was A skill comparable to that of Staffordshire.
Besides, considering the blessing of the River Styx and the power of the demonic sword Baalzebub, the actual fighting power would be much stronger than this. If the
world knew, it would be truly shocking
. ….The Baskerville style that he has learned now is 5 meals.
It took a little longer than originally planned to become a perfect intermediate grader because this process was paralleled.
Meanwhile,
Bikir closed his eyes and killed the Oxbear he had just killed. I recalled it.
Although there were several crises, it was a weakened individual due to a long period of confinement, so I was able to hunt without difficulty even with my hidden skills
. My head was cluttered with thinking about whether I was falling behind.
I couldn’t care less about the chatter of the Baskervilles’ day dogs whose teeth were just starting to grow. At that time, even
Bikir
, who was lost in thought, was interested in a topic. It was
what a young Baskerville casually said,
” …then, will that
fellow enter the academy on our voyage?”
As a compulsory educational institution,
the number of admissions to the academy is limited to a small number among each family.
As a result, only the elite youngsters from each family naturally gather here, and Bikir was also interested in this.
Of course, other children There is no such thing as greed for fame or desire for education like
‘It’s an opportunity to improve your skills away from Hugo’s side.’
Of course, there are many other things to do, such as repaying debts from previous lives or monopolizing hidden artifacts.
When Vikir was contemplating what to do next,
a voice called him from behind, ”
Mister .”
Voice still powerful. Warm and gentle demeanor.
Deacon John Barrymore came and stood next to Vikir.
He was one of the few people who felt sorry for Vikir in his previous life, and Vikir also trusted him in his own way
. Butler Barrymore approached Vikir and hinted,
“The Lord is looking for you.”
Hugo Les Baskerville?
It’s always unusual for him to find a child.
When Bikir looked puzzled, Barrymore grinned and continued.
” It seems that you have decided on the position of the young master.”
