Episode 3
EPISODE.02
“It’s finally here.”
As he entered the bathroom located in the corner of the academy, the guys surrounded Russell as if they were waiting for him.
“Something like a slug, it’s slow and explodes.”
I looked down at Russell with my eyes wide open. On the other hand, he must have looked very threatening.
But when Russell met those eyes, his face was somber.
‘hmm.’
Several years of freelancing.
During that time, Russell didn’t just spend his time sitting at his desk doing chores.
Just by combining mercenary activities alone, the figure is close to three digits.
And about half of them were experiences of participating in monster subjugation.
‘Compared to the murderous intent of monsters and mercenaries I felt back then… … .’
The threat of these guys actually seems cute.
‘There’s no way that kids with no actual combat experience would be scared by a simple, threatening expression.’
Pisik-.
As they burst out laughing, the faces of the two guys standing on either side of them distorted beautifully.
“Smile?”
Immediately after, the guy standing in the center stepped forward.
It was the same guy who hit me on the back of the head.
“hey. “Russell.”
“what.”
When I responded in a calm tone, his eyebrows twitched, drawing a strange curve.
What followed was a much more growling voice than before.
“I definitely told you to take notes during class, but how dare you ignore me and doze off?”
He dared to ignore his words and doze off, so he should be punished or something. Obvious and stereotypical threats are thrown out one after another.
Russell clicked his tongue at that threat.
‘I can’t believe I lived in fear of these guys.’
His past is so unfair that it even feels ugly.
‘It’s not even funny. ‘He’s like a fool.’
In the end, Russell cursed at his past self.
The few paid grades he spent at the academy and the years that followed were enough to instill poison in him.
I raised my eyes and stared at the guy who was still making threats that were almost like a speech.
“Coma Frederick.”
Even so, I had just remembered exactly who the guy standing in the center was.
He was quite large and had a face full of freckles. Faded light brown hair.
“Unlike the eldest son who inherits the family or the twin brother who inherits the top spot, the other half has nothing.”
“What, what?”
Koma flinched and trembled at the voice that pierced his painful spot and the sudden change in Russell’s mood as if he had changed as a person.
But Russell’s transformation had only just begun.
Is it just because of the memories of being bullied by these guys?
For some reason, heat starts to spread inside my head.
Hwaak
The fever that started like that ran all the way to my fingertips and toes.
It was right after.
The two eyes that used to glow crimson began to take on an ominous amber glow.
Wow-.
A change that Russell himself did not notice.
“you you-.”
Russell’s shooting was faster than your eyes.
“Not the nobles, but also the upper class. “A fool who is wasting his life at the academy because he can’t properly inherit anything.”
Inside the amber eye glow, a vertically slit pupil appears.
Woe!
Soon, an unprecedented force arose in Russell, who opened his completely reptilian eyes.
“A typical petty person who can’t do anything to the children of nobles who are stronger or have a higher title than me, but only picks on commoners and those weaker than me to harass them.”
Russell, who kept saying what I wanted to say, asked back teasingly, ‘Right?’
It’s a biting bitch.
But there was something that disturbed Koma’s mind even more than that vitriol.
It was the energy and the glow in Russell’s eyes that flowed from his body.
“Uh, uh-.”
The eyes of a predator that makes your whole body tremble just by looking at them.
An overwhelming feeling as if something huge is looking down on you.
What flows out from the end of that sense. It was horror.
The fear of the powerful is imprinted deep within human instinct.
A mouse in front of a cat, no.
This might be how the chicken in front of the basilisk feels.
The bodies of the three men began to tremble, feeling chills and fear as if they had been doused with cold water.
“… … ?”

Why are these guys like this all of a sudden?
The moment Russell questions the anomaly.
“Aaaah!”
Koma screamed.
I clenched my fists to overcome my fear.
Since the situation is highly stimulated, they will attack.
He’s like a wild boar, so I won’t just scream and put up with it.
‘Will the magic come?’
No, that won’t be it.
Not only is it forbidden by school rules to fight between students over magic -.
‘Because their magic level is not that high.’
This was evidenced by the fact that even though I had a home to return to, I stayed behind and took supplementary classes during vacation.
Of course, if you look at it in detail, it might be a little better than you.
‘Even in the same 1st circle, I’ll be at most 3 months old, and compared to that, these guys will be 1 year old.’
However, it is only Circle 1.
It was also at the level of a student who had never even experienced a proper actual game.
Not only that, but he was also a guy who wasted his life neglecting both magic and studying.
‘Whether it’s casting speed or otherwise, proficiency in magic.’
Either way, fists are still more comfortable than magic.
just as expected.
“This monster has a pierced mouth!”
In the end, Koma, unable to control his anger, threw his fist loudly.
In the past, this was a fist that would have been quite threatening.
‘but-.’
He has experienced countless battles while subduing monsters.
The reason I was able to survive in that melee was not simply because I was lucky.
‘To make up for my lack of magic skills, I also learned box fighting and dog fighting techniques.’
Skills learned by buying mercenaries things like alcohol and food.
As it was a technique used by mercenaries, it was not that great.
However, as each battle continued, the skills gradually became more familiar.
therefore.
‘It’s about the size of a fist.’
I dodged the guy’s fist by slightly lowering my head, and just as the booming sound passed my ears.
Wow!
I slammed my fist into the center of my exposed chest.
“Oops!”
Koma’s body bent like a sickle due to the sudden surge of pain.
He moaned, pouring out a lot of saliva.
This was because I was not only surprised by Russell’s unexpected resistance and strong shock, but also felt pain.
But there was someone more surprised than that.
It was Russell who succeeded in the attack.
‘What is this?’
Clean evasive movements with a much lighter body than expected.
The offensive continued as if it were flowing.
The reaction speed was unbelievable for a body of this age.
While you are surprised by your own movements.
“This bastard?”
“Are you really crazy today?”
The two little dogs, overcoming their fear at the shout of coma, quickly jumped towards Russell.
What followed was a dog fight… … .
Cluck, cluck, cluck!
‘I thought it would be -.’
Russell looked puzzled at the situation that felt easier than expected.
Since we were outnumbered and outgunned, I thought we would have to fight in the mud.
‘Not only can the attack be read clearly, but the body moves as it wants.’
At this level, I felt like I could easily win even if it was three to one.
An ogre who jumped into the midst of a group of goblins.
‘Even if it’s not – I think it would be at least a troll?’
The movement is so leisurely that even trivial thoughts come to mind.
Plus, I don’t know why, but every time we make eye contact.
Their bodies even twitched as if they were frightened.
Stiff-.
Hammer-like straight lines on temples, chin, nose, etc. I was trapped as if I was being sucked into various vital places.
Unable to withstand the repeated blows, Koma’s body collapses and collapses.
The other two fell down first and were crawling on the floor for a long time.
Still, he was the leader of the alley game and held out the longest.
“you you… … I know who I am. My dad is a nobleman. ear… … .”
“That’s funny.”
Russell extended his hand.
Wow.
He violently grabbed Koma’s hair with one hand, made eye contact with him, and spoke.
“When he was bullied, he was excited, but when he got bullied, it was like he was looking for his father. “Isn’t it a bit funny when you think about it?”
Ye’s eyes and the indescribable fear flowing from them!
It felt as if amber-colored eyes were randomly searching into my brain.
“Uh, uhm… … .”
Is this how the rat in front of the basilisk feels?
No matter how much I wanted to protest, all that came out was poor language.
Russell scolded him.
He still didn’t notice the change that had occurred in him.
“And just because your father is a noble doesn’t mean you are also a noble, right?”
Baron Frederick was not from a high-ranking noble family.
However, it was not a family with great power either.
In Baron Frederick, the only person who can inherit the nobility is the eldest son, who receives the title hereditary.
“That’s why your twin brother and you came to the academy and are learning magic. “You idiot.”
With those last words, Russell’s fist struck the man’s temple mercilessly.
Whoops!
The impact caused his head to hit the bathroom floor, and boom!
I warned as I watched the nosebleed dripping onto the bathroom floor.
“This is the end. “Don’t ever stand in front of me again.”
Then, when he got back up from his lowered body, the amber glow that had covered Russell’s eyes had long since disappeared.
“Ugh.”
Immediately afterwards, Russell stumbled due to sudden dizziness.
This is because I have a feeling that all the strength is draining from my body.
‘Were you too excited?’
Maybe it was the excitement that made my body move much better than expected.
While Russell thinks so.
Dang dang dang-.
After recess, the bell rang, signaling the start of the next class.
At the sound of the bell, Russell frowned and muttered.
“Oh, shit.”
What was the next class?
There was no time to continue worrying about it.
It’s a disaster.
[Mission completed. Compensation will be paid.]
A translucent green window blocked my eyes.
A piece of red stone, much smaller than a fingernail, fell onto my palm.
Tuk-.
wizard who swallowed a dragon
