Episode 65
As Luan expected, this early morning attack was completely planned by the instructor.
The instructors were not at the forefront blocking the monsters, but were actually gathered in the conference room of the building where the instructors were staying.
As they sat in their respective seats, they were looking directly at the light emanating from the magic crystal. Soon, the shape of the light changed and began to shine on the spirits currently entering the battle.
“It will be from now on. “The jade stone is being covered in earnest.”
Soymond, the instructor who had just left.
In other words, Teacher Survival opened his mouth.
“Actually, we already see some excellent talent, Tanko. “I’m talking about the leaders who stood out in your running test.”
Hunting teacher Tanko nodded.
These are the guys who I was sure would survive and complete the course if nothing goes wrong.
The hunting teacher who was watching for a moment said.
“Was there a total of five extra points? “I can’t see one person.”
“Right. “There is no Mir Giant.”
“If it’s a giant… “Giant people?”
“I guess so.”
“Isn’t this strange? “I haven’t seen Yeongdo, who looks like a giant, this season.”
As their name suggests, the giants are people whose basic body size is several times larger than that of a human.
This means that it should be easy to find no matter where it is on the battlefield, but no such entity was seen in the video.
Then the hunting teacher pointed to a certain point in the video.
“That spirit too.”
“hmm… … .”
The survival teacher narrowed his eyes and said.
“… “For a giant, it’s quite small.”
The girl had a very small body, and in fact, she had a very small body even if she was not considered a giant.
“Are you mixed race?”
“As far as I know, no. Rather, it is the blood of the greatest giant.”
“The greatest giant? “Do you mean the frost giant Ymir?”
“exactly.”
“ah. “So your name is Mir?”
The hunting teacher nodded.
“There was a brief description of the circumstances in the personal information. To conclude, it is a mutation, but even though it looks like that, its strength is stronger than that of a normal giant.”
“hmm. “But why are you doing that over there?”
The Mir Giant had a stiff face and was unable to move.
Even the Youngdos, who were stiff at first, were slowly starting to relax.
“He must be the type who can’t use his strength in actual combat.”
This is the type that is most likely to die in the grasslands.
There is nothing more sad than the death of a talented person.
The hunting teacher’s heart became a little heavy, but that didn’t mean he could help.
That would be true even if Mir died today.
‘… If I survive until tonight.’
We will spare no effort in providing help and education to overcome those shortcomings.
The hunting teacher rolled his eyes again.
This is to find the guy I’m most concerned about during this retreat.
The hunting teacher’s thick lips twitched as he recalled his sparring with that fierce cub.
Even during the fight, he was gradually adapting to and even trying to absorb his own martial arts.
If we teach more systematically and consistently… … .
A martial art independently created by a hunting teacher.
He may be the only talent to continue in that vein.
‘Then will I officially become a disciple?’
The hunting teacher, along with the swordsmanship teacher, was famous as a great criminal who had no students.
Strangely, I thought it wouldn’t be so bad if Luan were his student.
“… But do you still apply that rule?”
The survival teacher secretly turned his gaze to someone.
Attention is focused on the martial arts teacher who has been standing still so far.
“No matter how much of an award it is, giving such rights to a single leader… … . “I think it might be too much.”
“Wasn’t that conversation over already?”
“… … .”
The martial arts teacher responded in a soft voice, but strictly speaking, not everyone.
There were a total of eight great offenders who participated in this retreat, and three of them opposed it.
Of course, the important thing is that the remaining five agreed.
‘If only Calzac had been around.’
The survival teacher shook his head.
It’s not every day or two that a martial arts teacher behaves as he pleases, but lately, it’s been getting worse.
This was because there was no sword teacher who was the only one who could restrain that man.
The martial arts teacher said with a slight smile.
“Let’s stop chatting and just focus. “From now on, we have to closely observe and score everyone in Yeongdo.”

It was a good thing I brought the Seven Deadly Sins Sword.

Thanks to this, the monster’s dirty bodily fluids were relatively less splashed.
I swung my sword as if I had returned to my mercenary days after a long time.
At first, I thought about imitating Martial God’s Galaxy Sword, but it wasn’t a martial art that I could use in real combat, so I put it on hold.
Phew!
While I was killing the centipede, a bit of blood got on my face and I almost reflexively wiped it off.
Instead, I took a step forward and swung my sword again, cutting down the enemies around me.
Just like the swordsmanship shown by Sanghyeolgong in subspace, all thinking circuits are focused only on attack, excluding even trivial actions.
This may seem easy, but it is difficult.
In the end, unexpected situations are bound to arise one after another in battle, and it is not easy to maintain consistency in all of them.
But I quietly insisted on attacking.
I was intentionally fighting in a different way than I usually do, which was also why I insisted on using the Seven Deadly Sins Sword.
After the protection ceremony, I only used my fists, so I thought I might be able to get a clue about the protection I was given by fighting in a different way… … .
‘I don’t feel any difference.’
Actually, there is no need to feel frustrated that there is no protection now, but since the identity is unknown, I am worried for no reason.
It is said that there are types of blessings that are effective only at special moments, but usually you can instinctively know when that ‘special moment’ is… … .
I have absolutely no clue.
When I glanced around, I saw that there were many people in Yeongdo who were already actively using their divine protection and fighting.
Although he still looks confused, he seems to have clearly figured out how to use it.
‘Didn’t the mirror show something wrong?’
By the time I thought about it, the number of baby centipedes had now halved.
There appears to be no dead Yeongdo.
This was expected, but it was surprising that no one was seriously injured.
Indeed, descendants of heroes.
Adaptation is faster than you think.
Those who survive this battle today will probably be at least twice as strong.
Kwarararalaralalak-!
At that time, the giant centipede let out a strange roar and began crawling across the ground at high speed.
It was smaller than the Sapphire Snake I faced last time, but it was faster than it looked.
Anyway, the overall size was not small, so just crawling made a dent in the ground and pieces of stone flew everywhere.
“Stop it!”
One of the spirits shouted courageously and rushed towards the centipede.
‘That body… … .’
Did you let your guard down because you killed the baby centipede so easily?
The result of not realizing the difference in level with the opponent was disastrous.
The moment it collided with the centipede’s body, it flew far away with a crackling sound.
Quang! Yeongdo, who was thrown into a tree with a loud noise, gets closer to check his condition.
To be honest, I thought I was going to die because the bones in my body turned to dust, but I was in better shape than I thought.
Of course, his bones are broken and he is bleeding profusely, but he is alive.
‘I guess I received some kind of blessing to increase my tenacity?’
Then I guess I can treat it a little harshly, right?
I picked up the spirit and threw it toward the bush where there were no baby centipedes.
“Aaaah-!”
At that moment, someone let out a piercing scream.
I thought there was a guy running away, but for some reason the direction of the sound was unusual.
One little boy was screaming and running towards the centipede.
It was a contradictory scene where the subject was screaming as if it was running away, but its body was rushing.
‘What is that again?’
As I stood there dazed, the giant centipede twisted its body and hit the little boy with its huge tail.
The amazing scene came next.
The small guy blocked the centipede’s tail strike from the front.
“oh… … .”
Is it a blessing?
I don’t have that feeling.
After a while, I realized that it was pure physical ability that prevented the giant centipede’s attack.
Is that possible?
It would be difficult for not only me now, but also a hunting teacher with a body much superior to mine, to respond to a centipede’s attack with his bare body.
Looking at the main character of the scream again, I realized that he was one of the talents that stood out at this retreat.
The guy who finished in the top 5 in the last hunting teacher’s running test.
Was his name Mir Giant?
I remember the bouncy pigtails because they were so impressive.
‘Giant? ah. ‘They were giants.’
If so, that ridiculous physical ability is understandable.
But the response after that was poor.
Mir, who successfully blocked his tail, completely lost his senses and attacked at random, and was quickly surrounded by a swarm of centipedes.
If things continue that way, he could be the first fatality… … .
It was then.
[Those giants… … .]
Musin, who had been sleeping, opened his mouth for the first time in a long time.
‘Is there a problem?’
[Yeonja, please save those giants.]
‘That’s what I was thinking, but why did I suddenly… while I was sleeping well? … .’
[You probably know what kind of sword the Seven Sins Sword is.]
I nodded to myself.
This is a famous sword used by the Unknown King in the past to unite the seven races.
[Do you know the tribe that the Nameless King united at that time?]
‘My memory is vague.’
[Humans, dwarves, fairies, beastmen, dragons, spirits, and giants.]
‘no way… … .’
Musin said.
[At that time, the one who was defeated by the Nameless King was the frost giant Ymir. That girl must be that descendant.]
‘hmm… … .’
[I have to save it. If we are to liberate the Seven Deadly Sins Sword one day, that girl’s help will be essential… … .]
‘What about liberation?’
[…] … .]
‘hey?’
[…] … .]
Musin didn’t answer, perhaps because he had fallen asleep again.
Wow.
He just says what he wants to say and then disappears, right?
I clicked my tongue and cut down the baby centipedes surrounding Mir with the Seven Sins Sword.
It created a way out.
“hey. Come here.”
But Mir seemed to not hear my voice, so he moved forward again.
Do you want to search?
I reflexively tried to grab his shoulder, but something caught on the tip of my foot.
I don’t know why it was in a place like this, but it was a rope.
Is it someone’s weapon?
Anyway, it went well.
I decided to pick up the rope and throw it to wrap it around Mir’s body.
Just like I was chained one day.
“Ugh!”
“oh.”
However, I accidentally got wrapped around my head instead of my body.
‘Skill issue… … .’
Of course, I didn’t have time to unwind and close it again, and if I left it like that, there was a risk of being attacked by a swarm of baby centipedes, so I pulled it forcibly.
Mir made a fuss, struggling with his arms and legs, but he still steadily dragged himself towards me.
“Oh, I can’t see it… … ! I can’t see anything… … ! Could it be that this is Jotunheim… … .”
That’s because I covered my eyes.
Of course, since they were giants, we decided to be lenient about their slightly lower intelligence.
I retrieved Mir a short distance away and then released the rope.
Mir, who regained his sight, jumped up and walked away from me.
“You are the blonde Badknicker… … ?”
Blonde Badknicker?
ah. Is it to distinguish it from Hector?
“What is this?”
I responded by throwing the rope on the floor.
“That’s not it.”
“what?”
“If you saved me, I should start by saying thank you.”
“That’s what saved me?”
“Then you attacked me?”
“Nonsense! “Those centipedes are no match for me!”
It’s not wrong, but it’s also not right.
Looking closely, I saw that this guy’s condition was not normal.
My whole body was shaking like an aspen, and my complexion was pale. There was also an earthquake in his pupils, and he seemed psychologically unstable.
Judging by my personal diagnosis, if I continued to fight in that state, I would have died before I could survive tonight.
“Thank you for your help, but… Don’t disturb me again! “I have to prove that I am a warrior!”
Mir said that and ran towards the giant centipede again.
I looked at his back and struck him in the back of the head with the sword of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Sigh!
Mir, hit by a chain on the back of his head, fell flat on the ground.
I easily retrieved the fallen Mir and threw it next to the guy who first fainted.
“Persuasion is cumbersome, but fists are fast.”
Master’s maxim, one more win today.
“What are you doing?”
A low voice was heard.
I looked up and saw a guy standing gloomily on a tree branch.
“Relief operations.”
“why.”
“You’re too young to die now.”
“… … .”
Charon looked at me with an expressionless face and blurted out.
“Was I a hypocrite?”
What is he saying now.
I looked up again, but Charon had already disappeared.
I wanted to follow him and punch him in the back of the head, but I decided to focus on what I was doing first.
One by one, I filtered out those who had already fainted or looked like they were about to die.
About 20 minutes passed, and now only those who could do their part remained on the battlefield.
At that point, I gave up the relief work that didn’t suit me and took part in the centipede extermination again.
The moment you approach a nearby centipede and swing your sword.
Kwaang-! An arrow flew from somewhere and pierced the centipede.
The arrow imbued with divine protection completely blew off the centipede’s head with a destructive power more powerful than that of a cannon.
I avoided the messy remains of the monster and looked for other monsters.
The moment you try to run towards the plant-shaped monsters nearby.
PIPIT!
This time an arrow flew.
Although the arrows were not as destructive as before, there were many of them.
The shower of arrows was like a torrential rain, and the monster instantly became covered in holes and collapsed.
‘… … .’
I felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t show it and ran towards the next monster.
But this time too, the monster I was aiming for was pierced by an arrow.
Now it’s clear.
There was a guy who deliberately intercepted the monster I was targeting.
And without needing to be specific, I thought I knew who it was.
“hey.”
I am a tree nearby.
I asked, looking at the guy standing on the branch.
“What are you doing?”
Charon responded while carrying an arrow.
“You are my prey. “Don’t touch it.”
“what?”
“That means you should stay quiet, Luan Badniker.”
