How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 185

Ed subjugation (8)

Ed Ross Taylor.

< Failed Swordsman of Sylvania > Act 1 mid-boss.

Trash that utters lines like a third-class villain, longs for Taylor McLore, then shows an obscene appearance and falls miserably.

A consumptive character who seems to have been put in hastily to set the tempo at the beginning of the story, which tends to drag on.

From the mid-bosses with all kinds of backgrounds that come out later, to the final bosses of each act who rise to the role of the dark side for different reasons.

All kinds of enemies stand in the way of the main character, Taylor McLore, but Ed Roth Taylor is the most insignificant and shallow character.

From Yenika Failover, Glast, Lucy Meiril, Kreffin Ross-Taylor, to Star Changryong Velbrok.

Whether it was the weight of anticipation weighing down your shoulders, whether you were twisted by the pain of loss, whether the promise with the departed remained, or whether you had to commit pure evil to survive.

The dark actors who decorate the finale of each act stood on the stage giving their own reasons.

So, what could have been allowed to Ed Roth Taylor, who should have disappeared quietly without any special narrative.

It is said that a life that is not the main character has value, but the weight will definitely be different.

Even if the story is twisted, and he has risen to the final black screen… What will he be able to say and what circumstances will he be able to spit out?

To him who left the family and wanted to end his life after being pessimistic… How many words do you have left to say?

That’s why < Failed Swordsman of Sylvania > did not assign him any stage.

They quietly come down to the back of the stage and reflect on their lives while watching the setting sun.

How great a story would come out by shining the lights on the stage to a person who ruminates on his unhappy life in a place where the spotlight does not reach.

It is the story of everyone who leads their lives in a place where the light does not reach.

Even if the flow is somehow twisted and he goes on stage as the final boss of an act, nothing will change.

From a third-class villain who exits unsightly at the beginning of the stage, to the last black actor responsible for the finale of an act.

Even though many things have changed, in the end he has only one purpose for moving.

let’s survive

we have to survive

– Tuk, tuduk.

As if to answer that thought, a drop or two of raindrops fell. I thought it was going to rain, but it was earlier than I thought.

A drop or two fell on the bonfire in front of Ed Rosteyler, and a little thick smoke rose.

Ayla Triss raises her voice to him through the bonfire that is slowly getting weaker.

You never said you would do this.

As if it was nothing special, as if I was just going to try sparring.

Ayla raised her voice and spoke to Ed Rosteyler, who had seduced Ayla like that.

I need to get back to Taylor.

Ayla says so.

Ed Rosteeler doesn’t answer, his forearm resting on his lap.

Ayla looks back. If she runs out immediately, what time will it be when she arrives at the building of Elte Co., Ltd.?

The image of Taylor, who must be struggling, suddenly comes to mind. Is Taylor really trying to break through all those walls? If that’s the case, he’ll probably stay that way.

Turning his head again, the dark side of all of this——Ed Rosteyler was quietly watching Ayla in the intermittent raindrops.

He is a much more rational person than Ayla thought.

No matter what he does, he is a person who is accompanied by a rational reason. That’s why I couldn’t understand the current situation.

─The rain is intensifying. The same goes for the Elte Trading Company building.

3rd floor of Elte Corporation. With Jenika Failover right in front of her, Taily hurriedly pulls out her sword.

Intuition whispers to him.

never win It is an opponent that can never be defeated even with a one-in-a-thousand or ten-thousandth chance.

It handles high-ranking spirits freely, and if you combine middle-ranking and lower-ranking spirits, it is a three-digit army.

If you can attack the main body, you might have a chance of winning, but there’s no way the spirits will let it go until they touch their master.

On top of that, he is wearing a lot of self-defense measures to protect himself.

If you rush at a perceptible speed, the shock-enhancing wave ball will activate, and if you try to use magic, the magic phase shifter will activate.

Even if it were to break through all odds and deliver a blow… the tiny hourglass hanging from Jenika Failover’s waist would nullify even that blow.

Legendary Magic Item – Del Heim Hourglass.

Legendary level magical engineering items that can only be created by spending countless hours on magical engineering.

Even Ed Roth Taylor, who has a wide range of relationships, is a treasure that is handed over only to allies among allies whom he truly trusts.

Ed Rosteeler, who will be standing at the end of the stage, is one of the most trusted people.

As if to prove that fact, the various support items worn on the girl’s body… each one boasts high performance.

A waning spirit whispers in Taylor’s ear.

put down the sword

Get lost and run away.

No one in the world is blaming you. Even if you ran away from this, no one will call you a coward.

did enough Blood flows through the body, and the strength in the legs is about to be released immediately.

You can fall here. A lot of trouble.

However, Taylor McLore shakes her head. Dispelling the distracting thoughts that floated above her head, she opened her eyes again as her reason was fading away.

——The intensifying raindrops hit the outer wall of the upper chamber and slid toward the floor.

Clevius was lost in the front yard of the merchant building.

Elvira grabbed the completely exhausted man and somehow carried him under a small roof attached to the outer wall of the storehouse.

He sits down on the floor, hugging Clevius’ head… and looks up at the calmly falling rain.

──On the first floor of the upper chamber, Jiggs shoved away the debris and stood up to shake off the dust.

There are no serious injuries In the first place, Taily had no intention of hurting Ziggs. He just wanted to get it out of the way.

I never thought that a floor this wide would be destroyed in one single sword strike.

Ziggs suddenly sees raindrops hitting the windows in the hallway on the first floor.

I take a deep breath, sit on the rubble, and take a break, hoping that no serious injuries will occur.

After sitting like that for a while, he closed his mouth as if he had made up his mind on something.

Lortel, who was running through the forest at night, also felt a raindrop fall on the tip of her nose.

After looking up at the sky for a while, I sighed deeply and put on my robe. As we move toward the less popular Professor Building… we sink deeper into the darkness of the night.

Lortel prays.

I hope everything ends well. I wish I could get the real power of the company back and light a bonfire while exchanging trivial jokes with Ed.

In front of Dune, who continues to talk in a cold sweat, Lucy and Princess Penia also feel the rain.

The escort rushes out with a fuss, and covers Fenia and Lucy’s heads with a covering cloth.

The pounding sound of rain permeates Fenia and Lucy’s ears.

Dune buys a moment to gather his thoughts, but the fact remains that he is cornered.

In front of Dune, who continues to speak slowly, Lucy shakes off her skirt and glares at him.

The same goes for Traceyana Bloomriver, who was sitting alone on the 4th floor of Elte Co., grooming her wand.

Raindrops pouring down through the hole in the ceiling, the girl shakes her hair and enters deep into the hallway.

After snorting and exhaling, she sits with her chin resting nearby and watches the raindrops.

The fate of many things depends on this one night. Last morning before school starts. People who look up at the raindrops with their own circumstances wait for the morning sun with their own state of mind.

The same goes for Taylor and Ayla.

– Kaaang!

The sword collides with the teeth.

The twisted Serpent Spirit’s teeth dug into Taily’s right forearm. Taily screams and tries to pull the snake out with his hands, but the wound tears further.

Right after that, spirits in the form of lions and tigers attacked. I grabbed the tooth with my sword, but his legs gave out and he fell.

– Wow Jangchang! Kang!

It’s an attack that he would normally have withstood, but Taily is already a wreck.

As it is hung on the outer wall of the hallway, the window breaks and glass shards fall on Taylor’s body.

Taily screams, and the rain rushes in through the broken window and hits her body. The rainwater seeping into the wound brings out even stronger pain.

give up now

Hold on here longer, no one is forcing you.

I hear that voice again.

However, Taylor gritted her teeth and stood up again.

open gate. Beyond that, the VIP waiting room.

Standing still in front of the sofa, Jenika Failover doesn’t look very good.

I don’t even have the desire to beat up Taylor, who is so battered and rushing at me.

But that doesn’t mean she won’t keep her promise to Ed Rosteyler.

It was just a face that seemed to want Taylor to give up in moderation. Manshin, she doesn’t want her to keep attacking her speared counterpart.

Yenika, Ziggs, and even Ayla all want him to do it right now and fall.

Even so, Taily… lifts up her body covered in glass and water. The prosecutor’s uniform was stuck to the rain-soaked body, and the white hair that had leaked out clung to his face, making him look shabby.

burning willpower. However, the sight of him barely holding on with his water-soaked face is unsightly.

“Taily’s hard life… I don’t think even you know!”

A bonfire that has been extinguished.

Isla yells at Ed in the rain.

“That’s enough!”

“…”

“Even if you don’t have to go through this many ordeals… Taily has made it through well!”

The walls prepared by Ed Rosteiler… even Taylor, no matter how strong-willed she is, cannot penetrate.

I thought he would simply stimulate Taylor and engage in sparring a few times, but contrary to Ayla’s expectations, Ed completely trampled on Taylor.

Even if it was severe, it was too severe.

I have quite a debt to Ed, and there are quite a few parts that I am sorry for. This is why Ayla joined Taylor’s proposal.

However, Ayla did not want to join Ed any further.

“Do you think you’re doing the right thing, Senior Ed?! Even if this makes Taily stronger, is it for her sake?!”

In the rain, Ayla speaks as if screaming.

The darkness that adorns the final battle of the chapter. Fallen aristocrat Ed Rosteyler.

Just because Taily reaches him, overcomes him, and faces the end of the ordeal… Even if that makes him stronger, is that for Taylor?

“Don’t force your self-righteousness on Taylor.”

The rain continues to hit the ground.

The sound of pouring rain half covers the sound of the world.

Nevertheless, Ayla’s voice definitely reaches Ed.

Ed, wet in the rain… didn’t respond to Ayla’s sorrowful cry with her head bowed.

“Taily… Taily…! I’m done now. This much… I’ve done enough…”

“Ayla Triss.”

Ed Rosteyler quietly stands up and looks at Ayla.

Ayla swallowed her breath at Ed’s expression, which was more serious than she thought.

Ed Roth Taylor is a man who has always been calm and rational. When she saw the first expression of emotion in his eyes, Ayla forgot to breathe in panic.

He is the first person that everyone thinks of when he hears <Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman>.

Isla Triss, a companion who always encouraged and affirmed the main character, Taily, by his side.

I lived a hellish reality. Whether it’s in the fire of a battlefield or the sight of a city intoxicated with peace. Nothing has ever been painless.

Maybe that’s why he found comfort in seeing Taylor. I received a lot of encouragement from watching him go through difficult trials and brutal fate while playing Sylvania’s Failed Sword Saint several times.

Even if it was a meaningless past now, it definitely remained in my memory.

Ed Rosteylor came through the rain like that and pulled Ayla by the collar.

“Even if everyone else does, what if you don’t believe him?”

“…Kh, ugh… what…?”

“He grits his teeth and holds on, but if you force him to give up… what should he do… Not anyone else, Ayla, you…”

Ed gritted his teeth and spoke to Ayla.

It’s the first time I’ve seen Ed Rosteyler so close, so raw and emotional.

It’s not anger, it’s not disappointment… it’s something in between.

It is a completely different look from the strangely mysterious Ed Rosteiler, who was always quietly faithful to his duty in The Bachelor.

“There’s no reason to go this far…!”

“If we don’t do this, we will all die.”

“I beg your pardon…?”

“I didn’t even think you would believe me in the first place… Now, whether you believe it or not is none of my business. But if you push it that far, I won’t be able to tell you why.”

Ed Rosteyler speaks while holding Ayla by the collar.

“Whether you treat me like a madman or a coward with ridiculous excuses… you’re up to it…”

Seongchangryong Valveroke.

As the name came up on Ed’s lips, Ayla’s pupils trembled once.

The final bosses who decorate the curtains of the stage always have burdens on their shoulders.

However, the set stage has already been distorted.

The 4th act is over, but I don’t even know if I entered the 5th act properly. As of now, everything is in a labyrinth.

The final battles of each act had already been pushed back by several months, so even a love affair had lost its meaning for quite some time.

Right now, there is no way to know when Velbroke will be resurrected or when the end of the story will come.

It became a situation where it was unknown whether Act 4 would be followed by Act 5 or if it would be the end of the story.

It has been a long time since even the goal of living leisurely with the goal of earning a diploma has faded. Already, the world does not leave Ed Rosteyler alone.

Amidst the weight of the rain on his shoulders, Ed Rosteyler gripped his collar while soaking in the rain.

The image of him reflected in Ayla’s pupils… is infinitely serious.

If you properly entered the 5th act, the author of the final boss who will eventually finish the story is also decided.

The Fallen Noble, Ed Rosteyler.

This is the name of the person who has to close this stage, which is spreading out without direction.

*Yenika Failover doesn’t even move.

Even her gaze at Taylor was cold enough to be incomparable to her usual appearance.

– Caang! Hwaaak!

Taily, who was digging into the side, fell out with Tarkan’s tail. After sliding down the wall of the VIP waiting room and rolling once, Taily stood up in the dust.

Little consciousness remains. It’s almost a form of acting according to instinct. It is a situation where it would not be strange if the pupils immediately jumped up and lost consciousness.

Yenika swallowed dryly.

It seems to be fighting Ottogi, which rises again even if it is beaten again and again. He might lose consciousness if he did this, but he never gave up.

Rather, Taylor’s attack patterns were becoming increasingly diverse. In the midst of holding on tight so that reason does not fly away, he is seeking a methodology to thoroughly win.

It is an opponent that can never be defeated by simple force.

However, there is always a way to defeat the Elementalists. It is to subdue not the spirits, but the main body of the spirits.

Jenika quietly raises her wand. Various magical engineering items were hanging from the black wood, and various spirit ceremonies were also imprinted on it.

‘Thunderbolt millennium tree staff’. Jenika’s sensitivity, which had risen to the limit, soared even more.

Taylor clenched her teeth and jumped off the floor. After flying towards the ceiling, Taily turned his body and stepped on the ceiling like a floor.

The place to look at is the main body of Jenica Fail Rover.

Sword Spirit Ceremony – Elemental Slash.

Taily’s sword strike, which cuts even the elemental spirits in two, wipes out all the lower spirits around him.

It is turned into a body by the reverse summoned spirits and disappears.

Taily, who had just jumped off the ceiling and flew, moved towards Yenika’s main body.

There was no way the spirits would leave Taily’s movement unattended. Tarkan swung his tail as it was and tried to stop Taily’s movement… but Taily’s elemental slash cut Tarkan’s tail to pieces.

It is a skill that has an upper hand against elemental spirits. As things went, Tarkan couldn’t withstand Taily’s elemental slash even in the first act of Tarkan’s battle.

However, no matter how superior they are, they cannot overcome the absolute difference in power.

As Tarkan let out a roar and released magic power, the shock alone made Tailly’s body lose its direction.

As it is, it rolls across the floor and aims at its body, but is hit directly by the elemental magic of the middle-ranking spirits.

Because he was still in a mess, his consciousness went back and forth even with a small shock. Her bloodied body screamed, but Taily aimed again and glared at Yenica.

Before long, the following sword star expression was displayed.

space cutting.

The Sword Ceremony, which takes a toll on the body every once in a while, leads over and over again and cuts down the spirits.

Even so, Jenika Failover did not move a single step. She manages to get right in front of her nose, but soon her ‘shock-enhancing wave ball’ activates and pushes her tail away.

“Aagh!”

Even the slightest impact seems to tear the body apart.

Still, Taylor picked up her spirit again and stood up. Grinding his teeth, he glared at Yenica.

“Why why…”

Even while bleeding profusely, Taylor gritted her teeth and spoke.

“There’s no reason to go this far… with that man… there’s no reason… why… stop…”

At the sight of Taily bleeding, Yenika also narrowed her eyes for an instant.

To begin with, she is a girl whose mentality is not that strong. No matter how many enemies you encounter, seeing them clenching their teeth and enduring like that makes my heart weak.

Even so, I couldn’t break Jenika Failover’s heart.

Behind this is Ed Rosteyler. Yenica Failover has no intention of letting Taily go to Ed.

“It’s not that complicated.”

Standing upright in the dark, Jenika has no scratches on her body. He is someone who cannot inflict even the slightest wound with Taily’s power.

“Edgar…if he had taken on the role of a villain…”

Yenika spoke clearly without any change in expression.

“Then I’m a villain too. That’s all.”

No matter what, Yenika Failover is on Ed Roth Taylor’s side. That fact will never change, even if the river is turned upside down.

“If you were to meet Ed like this, you would risk your life to attack him.”

Ed Rosteyler is in a state where he can’t even fully use his magic right now. The ring’s recoil remains.

No matter how crippled Taylor is, you never know what will happen.

“…That’s right, of course.”

“Then I don’t want to send you to Ed either.”

There was no hesitation in Yenika’s stern tone of voice.

“Give up. You know that. Your journey ends here.”

The Elte store where the rain is pouring down. Now the building has become a mess where the original role cannot be properly performed.

Taylor McLore will never be able to penetrate this third floor.

The heavy reality weighs on Taylor’s shoulders.

– That’s right, bang!

The hand holding the sword slowly lost strength. Taily’s greatsword, which had been abused to its limit, rolled on the floor.

Completely drained of her wobbly legs, Taylor knelt down and sat on the floor.

His shoulders drooped, and just like that… Slowly, Taily gently closed his eyes.

“…”

Yenika sighed deeply when she saw Taylor like that.

You’ve had a lot of trouble

It wasn’t easy.

It was the moment he was about to report to Ed through the spirits that the whole situation was over.

– Woe!

Geomseongsik – Heukgeomsul.

Without a sword, only using magical powers to express a sword strike… that blow cut through the atmosphere.

With magic swordsmanship alone, it is impossible to pierce the army of spirits guarding Yenika.

However, Taylor, who is almost unconscious, manifests the next step only by instinct.

“…!”

Yenika quickly wrapped herself in magic and picked up the Delheim Hourglass. However, the place where Taily’s sword is directed is not Yenika’s body.

A gigantic fire lizard that serves as the commander-in-chief of the spirit forces protecting Jenika’s body.

Even the severed tail was restored in an instant… That high-ranking spirit that occupies almost all the space in the huge VIP waiting room.

– Kwaaak!

Following the sword swordsmanship, the next sword ceremony is manifested on Taily’s body.

Sword Spirit Ceremony – Dragon Killing Sword.

A sharp blade that cuts through any thick skin and scales cuts Tarkan in two in an instant.

The faculty members were also fragmented while Tarkan, a high-ranking spirit who was struggling, closed his eyes for a moment and then took them off.

Taylor’s eyes are barely conscious. He was just driven by instinct… he tried to turn his sword towards Yenica, who served as the main body of the spirit army…

– Caang!

Just like that, Taylor rolled on the floor. Now I really don’t even have the strength to aim at my body.

He mobilized almost all of his life force just by slashing Tarkan. Before the pieces of Tarkan’s body could even fall to the ground, Taily’s body rolled across the floor, raising dust.

“…”

Yenika looked at Taylor with her eyes wide open.

Taylor was struggling to somehow push herself up off the floor and get herself up.

“Ugh, heo-eok… Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

He tried to get himself up somehow, but Taily’s body didn’t move according to his will.

As he clenched his teeth several times, Yenika watched him silently and then gently closed her eyes.

However, the fighting spirit is still alive in Taylor McLore’s eyes.

That was the last variable.
