Glast subjugation battle (6)
There are a lot of buildings.
Looking down at the panoramic view of Gyosu-dong from the rooftop of the Trix Building was a truly memorable experience.
Obel Forcius is often called young. However this means that she is relatively young compared to the position she holds not that she is absolutely young.
Obel is not even 60 yet. He is particularly young among many who have served as Sylvania principals in the past.
Since I was a first-time professor I was tired of it and when I sat down and came to my senses it was my 28th year as a professor. Nowadays there are few places left in the teaching profession where one can rise higher than this.
The world has also changed a lot.
The teaching building which used to consist of five or six classroom buildings is now larger than a typical village. If you climb up the hill and look wide you can barely see the panoramic view. Considering that the living quarters have almost doubled in size Sylvania Academy has doubled in size during his tenure alone.
When I finally came to my senses I realized that there was no one who had been in Sylvania longer than Ovel.
Not only the students who are expected to graduate someday but also the professors who claim to have a high level of experience are often less than half of Obel’s.
“I have no doubt that this is the golden age of Sylvania Academy.”
When Obel who was behind his back on the rooftop said this Supreme Dean McDowell who was standing behind him assisting him nodded;
“If Principal Obel says so then yes.”
His experience and power are respected by everyone in Sylvania.
Obel Forcius quietly looked at the outside of the faculty building where smoke was rising. As is typical for places where underground waterways are located there is almost no floating population and in fact it is only large… It is somewhat ambiguous to call it an important infrastructure facility.
Golden age.
This year’s first graders are a golden generation that is rarely seen again even among all generations in Sylvania’s history.
Lucy Zix Lortel Elvira Clevious Adel Eldin.
Even if you just list them in order of grades each student has the potential to aim for the top spot in another grade.
Are grades just everything?
Aayla is gifted with the talent of a scholar able to quickly absorb and gain insight into a vast amount of magical knowledge and come up with interesting opinions.
Among the three princesses of the Cloel imperial family Princess Fenia who receives overwhelming support will eventually follow the path of monarch no matter how much she dislikes it.
and… There are already rumors spreading among students about Taylor McLore who is using the swordsmanship method and is growing stronger with incredible growth.
What happens next year? Many prominent freshmen have already expressed their intention to enroll.
Wade is the only son of Magnus the commander of the Iron Blood Corps that protects the northern border.
Tanya the second daughter of the Ross Taylor family the most powerful family on the continent.
Clarice a saint from the Church of Telos which has the largest number of believers in the empire and Claude a descendant of Karl the alchemist of disaster who is said to have single-handedly created half of all poisons in the world.
Even if there is only one in a grade there are many hopefuls who are met with all kinds of expectations so I end up having ominous thoughts.
Is there an ordeal approaching that is so enormous that a talent of this caliber can even struggle? It’s a useless thought.
However no matter how many amazing new students there are there is only one person who shines at the top in the end.
He is a capricious wizard who spreads the magic blessed by the stars and only does what he wants.
During his 28 years of service Obel has never once thought that his skills would be inferior to his students.
This is because Obel is evaluated as having reached the level closest to that of the Archmage Glokt among those currently existing.
“Are you really okay with letting go?”
Supreme Dean McDowell spoke in a worried tone.
Obel who was quietly looking down at the underground waterway with his back shook his head.
There is concern in McDowell’s advice.
A senior professor caused confusion through his own arbitrary actions. In the process the bachelor’s precious treasure was stolen.
There are even students who have been kidnapped so if any casualties occur Obel’s liability will increase exponentially.
If it ends with a simple accident it would be over if you issue a statement apologize and crush your pride… There is no guarantee what will happen if a student loses his or her life.
Nevertheless Obel did not move.
If you lower your gaze slightly and look at the railing you will see scratch marks as if someone had taken a nap while sitting on it. Jerky crumbs and the like are scattered around the outskirts along the marks.
The traces of magical power contain a star’s blessing that only archmages can handle. If we look at the direction in which the magic disappeared it is towards the underground waterway.
The only person in this Sylvania Academy who can challenge Principal Obel… A rare genius born with extra-standard powers.
Professor Glast said that he was a talented person with the qualities of a great wizard who would go down in history.
Even if he was a veteran scholar in Aspect magic he couldn’t be a match for the girl who monopolized God’s love and wielded power that bordered on foul play.
“Professor Glast…? ”
Obel quietly closed his eyes.
The past years are meaningless.
There was a time when Obel was a first-time professor. The same goes for Professor Glast.
Time and age wears people out and matures them.
By chipping away at his appearance as a passionate first-time professor he is reborn as a mature educator.
– ‘Dean Obel. Does this make sense! ‘Say something!’
When Professor Glast was a newly appointed professor Obel was already the Dean of the Ministry of Magic.
Glast’s desiccated and pale appearance was still the same from when he was a first-time professor. He was certainly much more talkative than he is now.
– ‘Isn’t it unfair to collectively classify only DEX students among low-performing students as failing? ‘Aren’t talentless students even students?’
– ‘Separating students based on grades is for better academic achievement not for classifying students themselves!’
– ‘Of course the level you can reach varies depending on your innate talent. However it is impossible for an educator to be buried in that situation and treat those without talent as if they are left out!’
The young Professor Glast who raised his voice and pounded on his desk is now a thing of the past.
It was a time when research on theology was put to the back burner. Staying up all night in a corner of the undergraduate lab to plan a week’s educational curriculum more efficiently. Even that is a long time ago now.
Ten years have probably made me feel many things and changed many values.
So what conclusion will we draw at the end of those years? What will he end his long long life as an academic with to prove?
“Growing old together isn’t always a good thing.”
Obel gazed down at the wide-open landscape and let out a deep sigh inwardly without anyone noticing.
The autumn scenery of the fallen leaves is tilted under the setting sun.
Since when did the changes in the four seasons no longer seem so meaningful?
It’s getting old.
*
Hey.
I was sitting on one side of the collapsed bookshelf with my head covered.
“You know you know you know.”
I found it odd that he kept calling me probably because he thought I wasn’t answering because he couldn’t hear me.
It’s always the same when Lucy calls me ‘you know’. It is obvious what will be said.
“Do you have any leftover beef jerky?”
“Will you be there?”
“Tsk… .”
Lucy waved her feet in the air timidly as if she had no intention of hiding her disappointment.
Lucy was standing at the top of the bookshelf on the other side fidgeting with her feet and adjusting her witch’s hat looking the same as she always did.
He looks like he’s achieved this by single-handedly destroying the surface of the earth and breaking through to this deep secret laboratory but this is no big deal. It’s tempting to think that this is a lifesaver but Lucy just thinks of it as the trouble of helping her get a glass of water.
Of course it’s not a situation where you can just be happy and thank them for saving you.
first… “Okay thank you Lucy.”
Anyway let me say thank you for coming to this deep secret lab to rescue me.
however… How did you come all this way to save me… ?”
It’s not very pleasant to be asked Why did you save me? But of course Lucy couldn’t care about that.
that… The spiritist asked for help. At first I thought it was annoying so I tried to leave it alone but when I thought about it I thought I might have to save it. “I was bored too.”
Lucy flung her small body around and landed lightly on the marble floor beneath a pile of bookshelves.
The movements of his body fluttering his excess sleeves and settling down lightly really don’t look like a human being.
If you think about it Lucy’s weight would be several times that of an actual heavy cat so it could be said that it is natural that her body movements were not human-like in the first place. I understand movements as light as a feather.
The fact that he is heavily equipped with various lightweight magic and gravity magic may also play a role.
“You felt like you had to save it?”
huh. “I don’t know why but since I was lying alone in the camp I was bored and felt like I needed to save someone.”
“… ”
As I was quietly glaring at Lucy she yawned loudly as if she didn’t care.
Hey.
why.
“Do you have any beef jerky left? really?
okay.
“… Tsk..”
Lucy didn’t express her dissatisfaction directly but she grunted with a truly disappointed look on her face.
“Anyway since I got it I’m going. “I need to find a place nearby to take a nap.”
“… no.
“… ?”
At first glance it doesn’t seem like things are going well.
It’s not like I’m just sighing anymore. Of course there is no way that everything in this world will go according to plan.
It seems like it’s more messed up than I thought but in any case Tailley’s specs themselves have grown well enough haven’t they?
As is the case with most games Tailly’s spec growth increases exponentially toward the latter half of the game. It is even more strange if the growth efficiency of the early to mid-game and the very late-game are similar.
If you have maintained your spec growth well so far skipping a few bosses will not be a huge problem.
As was the case in the final scene of Act 1 as long as you eliminate the obstacles to progressing the story due to not learning essential core skills everything will somehow be resolved later.
There is a set number of bosses that give swordsman training points. In the case of the final scene of Act 2 the boss Glast and the demon research in the underground waterway are about Cyclops. Since the training efficiency is good it naturally comes out in droves in the latter part of the scenario.
It’s still okay… till now… !
As long as you continue to practice the Sword Saint style and eventually realize the Way of the Sword Saint to the end you can either become the evil god Mebula or an ancient incarnation that shatters the providence of the world… In the end Tailly goes through a lot of trouble and destroys everything on his own. He can’t be killed if it isn’t Tail Lee in the first place.
In any case the remaining specifications just need to follow the basic growth values. There are no setbacks so far.
“You should stick with me and not go anywhere.”
“… ”
I put my hands on Lucy’s shoulders and spoke clearly.
In any case if the specification growth itself can still be resolved the top priority is to eliminate all bad ending routes that cannot be resolved in my own way.
Lucy’s variable that drove the most players to a bad ending in the final scene of Act 2.
You must avoid situations where you are persuaded by Professor Glast and become hostile towards Tailley.
Compared to the risk it is easy to prevent.
All you have to do is stop Lucy and Glast from meeting. All you have to do is keep Lucy under strict surveillance and make sure she doesn’t do anything else.
It gives the impression that he is someone who really cares for Lucy… . Well that’s the situation.
why?
Lucy asks with blank dead eyes why he’s saying all that.
why? If you say… It is very difficult to give a reason.
In those blank eyes looking at me… Suddenly memories of the past pass by my mind.
What meaning does the character Lucy Mayril have for those who have played “The Failed Swordsman of Sylvania” countless times?
It is the first wall you face as a player. It is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Act 3 final scene. Lucy subjugation battle.
Summoning all four highest-ranking spirits from the top of Mt. Oron and wielding the highest-ranking magic countless times as if it were basic magic… It was a living natural disaster that could not be suppressed even if all the faculty members and even the forces within the Imperial Academy’s top academic institutions gathered their strength and jumped in.
Even if you only know how to use one I remember the first try where magic that was treated as an end spec was sprayed like rain and I had to spend all my consumables just to withstand the attack because I couldn’t even approach it.
In the end since the player cannot defeat it on his own it is a being that was designed in the worldview to be able to be overcome only when NPCs with end-level specs gather together.
There is no way to come up with the specs to beat Lucy until the day you see the final ending of Sylvania’s failed swordsmanship.
Through analyzing all kinds of compatibility and establishing consumable utilization strategies Tailly of End Specs may be able to compete with Lucy or temporarily subdue her… This is a story about when a trick is used double or triple.
In terms of fundamental strength at least in the era in which this story takes place there is no one who can match Lucy.
She is a girl who monopolized God’s love and was given cowardly strong strength and mana sensitivity.
Lucy in her current state shows incredible strength but even half of her talent has not fully developed.
If the strength of each character was expressed in a bar graph Lucy alone would break through the graph making all the other characters look dull.
Even in the settings book Lucy’s graph is not standardized enough to be left out.
So… Lucy is an uncontrollable variable.
Like stray cats roaming the city as they please… No one can handle this girl.
I go where I want eat what I want and sleep when I want.
I can’t tell what they’re thinking and what they’re doing.
– Sniff sniff.
Right now when I’m not saying anything he puts his nose to the back of my hand and sniffs it to see if it smells like beef jerky.
I was speechless as this clearly showed what kind of person this guy was.
“There’s no need for me to stick around with you. “You are already safe.”
A dazed yet clear voice came out in its own way. Lucy spoke of the obvious.
Even if I tried to give a detailed explanation to this girl who already had a hard time communicating there was no way it would work.
Lucy. You are strong. “I feel safe when I’m with you like that.”
“… ”
“Even if you don’t do anything or say anything there are times when you feel reassured just by being next to you. “Don’t you know that feeling?”
“… .”
Lucy looked at me with blank eyes and answered slowly.
know.
“Yeah that’s it.”
Lucy grumbled flapping her spare sleeves.
“But that’s completely your situation.”
that’s right. So I’m asking you this. “For now just stick close to me until I get out of this underground waterway.”
“If you want to get out of this underground tunnel I will let you out.”
“I have some business I need to take care of before I leave.”
Boo-
It has a face full of horns that looks like it’s going to die of annoyance.
“Okay then. “Instead I also want to ask you something.”
“… ”
I think I know what she’s trying to say with her arms outstretched in the air with blank eyes. Anyway this girl was looking for a place to take a nap.
It’s not that difficult to carry this little girl.
When you listen to it it sounds so swish that you wonder if it really is the weight of a person.
As I lifted Lucy up on my back I naturally wrapped my arms around her neck and lifted my legs a few times adjusting my posture and preparing for a good night’s sleep. He rests his chin on my shoulder and cries in satisfaction as if he has found the most comfortable place in the world.
It didn’t take long before I heard a roaring sound.
Okay for now just hold on tight to Lucy so she doesn’t go anywhere.
Let’s just quickly finish what needs to be done.
Even though the library is half-destroyed there is still a lot left to take care of.
Since Raina has also been subdued let’s take everything we can without worrying about others and head towards the underground waterway.
If there are people like Yenika or other people who come to rescue me on the way I can quickly explain that I’m okay and take them out after showing them that I’m fine.
If you meet Taily she will explain Ayla’s condition. Then I will go to subdue Glast more actively.
The party trying to subdue Glast must have all broken through the underground waterway by now.
It was quite absurd to see myself in a situation where I was the only one trying to escape by running backwards.
*
Tailley and his party were heading deep into the underground waterway.
Everyone was very nervous.
When I first arrived at the entrance to the underground tunnel and saw Dorothy unconscious and all kinds of golem fragments I already felt something was out of the ordinary.
Inside this underground waterway… There is something that destroys everything it sees.
“Everyone don’t ever relax… !”
Taily McLore is not yet at the level of being called a sword saint but at least she has grown to a level that students of her age cannot take lightly.
Although they are still a bit inferior to the first-year Ace members they have built up enough combat skill proficiency to be able to deal with them if the situation is right.
During the midterm exam Ziggs couldn’t help but applaud Tailley’s progress.
We got a glimpse of Tailly’s life as he grew up overcoming many hardships with only grit and effort.
That’s why Ziggs always respected Tailly.
A unique poison hangs over those who have worked hard to survive by shedding blood and cutting bones.
Ziggs was someone who always knew how to respect that venom.
“Is there any need to go further here? At first glance it looks like there are more people than us in this underground waterway… . Didn’t you hear that vibration just now… ? The earthquake was huge… ! After all that… just… . Don’t do such dangerous things… . Why don’t you just leave… .?”
When Clevius who was shaking said those words Elvira stepped firmly on Clevius’s foot.
“You’re being stupid again Clevius! “Aren’t you going to save Ayla?”
“In the first place… ! Ayla she was just mad at me! She doesn’t even want to save a woman like that! Plus… . Ed Rosstaylor… Do we have to save him too?! Why do we have to do this?!”
“Clevius.”
A small low-pitched voice cut through the underground waterway.
It was Tailley McLaure.
I’m really sorry. Still I really want to save Ayla. “I’ll ask you this.”
Tailly was already in the process of politely bowing his head and asking Clevius.
It was pathetic that Clevius had now changed his words but Tailley still bowed his head again.
Clevius stammered as he looked at Taily who lowered his head.
“Ugh. Ugh… ! evil… ! “Why are you doing this to me?”
Clevious also knows that Ayla is a good person.
This is a girl who not only felt sorry for Clevius who always tried to run away but also reprimanded him and tried to correct him.
“Don’t come this far and back out Clevius.”
Ziggs patted Clevious on the shoulder and looked at the punitive forces once again.
Failed Sword Saint Tailley Spear of Vegetation Ziggs Gloomy Clevius Meddlesome Elvira… And the romantic Adele.
oh.
A blonde girl who was holding a mandolin and tuning its strings among the group grinned.
Listening to the warm features and soft voice is so comfortable I feel like my mental fatigue is being relieved.
The couple of daffodils stuck in her ear are not able to show their full color because they are crowded out by Adele’s pale skin.
In the middle of the hair that flowed down like a waterfall there were at least fifteen hairpins in the shapes of not only daffodils but also cosmos roses and tulips.
Prophet Adele. No she called herself a romanticist Adele.
“I haven’t heard much about the child named Ayla but seeing that everyone sincerely wants to save her means that she must be a really good person.”
huh. Ayla is truly like my life partner.”
“Okay Tailley. “But you still have to be strong.”
Adele is an astrologer before she is a wizard.
Although it’s not the best the scenes of the future that are glimpsed with the energy of stars often hit the nail on the head.
“The opponent we will face in the future is… “I have a feeling it’s never going to be easy.”
Looking at Professor Glast’s actions the theft of the wise man’s seal was a thoroughly planned crime.
To some extent they had expected to engage in a chase like this.
In any case it was highly likely that many traps or means had been prepared to repel the intruders’ pursuit.
The demonic golem fragments seen at the beginning must be one of those traces.
Dorothy the top student in the third-year pension department also doesn’t know why but it seems certain that she fell unconscious because she couldn’t break through the underground waterway.
So what is blocking the way to this underground water?
If there is an opponent that even the top third-year pension club member cannot overcome… You must never let down your guard.
So the group concentrated their minds for a while and moved forward.
– Bang! bang!
Soon a sound was heard from across the corner.
– Aaaaaaaaaaaah!
When they heard a sharp female scream the group made eye contact and quickly ran away. There is someone in front of here.
As soon as I turned the corner what I saw was a huge flame spirit.
The waterway spread out in a circle at the connection of a wide waterway looks like a square. The numerous forks in the waterway meet here once.
There were two people in the center.
“Please… ! I don’t know! I don’t know! I’ll just stay here and see if things are going well… ! I just received those instructions… ! please! Just take a look! only once!
There is a girl. Since she is looking back her face cannot be seen.
However surrounded by the girl’s spirit… Those who are screaming in fear know it well.
Among the professors in charge of first-year students Assistant Professor Claire was much liked by students due to her friendly image.
Most students liked him because he was young and had no hesitation in thinking like a student.
To live up to the name of a professor basic combat magic is at a level that most students cannot even compare to… The opponent was very bad.
The girl held the oak butterfly cane and whispered something into Assistant Professor Claire’s ear. It was only about five or six letters long.
“I don’t know! I really don’t know! That wasn’t planned in the first place! simple… It was just a whim… ! Ha just take a look! please… !”
Assistant Professor Claire soon shed tears exhausted and fell to the bottom of the canal.
I took a step backwards while sitting on the floor and soon reached the wall. As the spirits surrounding the girl’s body roared Assistant Professor Claire eventually lost consciousness.
The girl still doesn’t look back.
However the companions had already realized the girl’s identity.
In particular Tailly and Elvira had already faced that girl twice as enemies.
I still remember the incarnation of fear wielding all kinds of mid-level spirits to protect Ed on the first floor of the Ofilis Building.
At that time Tarkan’s strength had not fully returned but he was not confident that he could win even in that state.
Only now Tailina Elvira’s specs have improved considerably. She may deserve much more.
But that side wasn’t doing its best at that time either.
There is even no Ed here to stop that girl. Thinking about that the girl’s power that I saw at first glance at the Ofilis Hall was only a taste.
Learned fear blooms in Tailley’s body. He quickly drew his sword and took a defensive stance.
“Umm… Wasn’t it oh left left oh left right? Did I go too far to the right in the first place? ? Umm… ”
The girl who said those words turns around in the dark. She had noticed that Tailly and his group were acting popular.
The girl who looked back from among the spirits looked as lively as usual… No one can easily take her mouth off her.
what. Hi guys.
The expressions of everyone except Ziggs suddenly hardened. Ziggs seems rather pleased.
Come to think of it the shawl that had fallen near Dorothy who had fallen at the entrance to this underground waterway.
The owner of that shawl with pretty cosmos embroidery on it… It’s definitely that girl.
It was clearly that girl who subdued Dorothy who entered the underground waterway.
I don’t know the detailed circumstances. However after seeing Dorothy fainting and even the good Assistant Professor Claire fainting in fear… You can never let down your guard.
Everyone swallowed dry saliva and adjusted their posture. Ziggs was the only one who couldn’t understand the atmosphere and was looking at them wondering why they were like this.
A round fork in a spacious underground waterway. Yenica Palover a girl waiting for the intruder in the center.
It was too strong an opponent to be considered the first enemy to stop Taily and his group.
However there are times when you must have courage and overcome even an opponent you cannot defeat. Because everyone was sincere in their desire to save Ayla.
‘Hey… Why are their expressions like this… ?! What did I do wrong? ? nice… Was I being too harsh towards Assistant Professor Claire? ? But I just asked but the assistant professor just made a fuss… !’
However the timid Yenika could not say anything and was making a fuss to the spirits within herself.
Anyway Hansi is busy.
I’m so worried that Ed who was captured is in trouble because no one came to save him. Because Ed has many secret enemies… He feels like he will have to go to the rescue himself. No matter what happens the only person who can save Ed is himself.
Anyway I’m busy.
I’m so busy… !
