“Whoop.”
Simon took a short breath and lifted the ball. The bones attached to the ball fell off and began to stick to Simon’s right foot like a magnet.
<Bone Armor – Boots Mode>
Unlike normal bone armor, where the bones stick together at a certain distance, the entire right foot was tightly wrapped without any gaps. It’s not as heavy as I thought because it’s bone, and I liked the feeling of holding my legs and feet firmly.
Boot mode was completed, and Simon threw the ball high using only the wrist snap.
The glittering eyes read the trajectory of the ball and the time it fell, and after taking two seconds of rest in my mind, I rotated my body through the wind.
The moment the rotational power was maximized by completing the second round at once, the leg at the end of the oblique line led a dazzling trajectory and came right in front of the falling ball.
Rotational power, leg strength, jet-black eruption inside the body, and even the gravitational force of the bone armor.
When Simon gritted his teeth and kicked the ball, the ball spread in a straight line with a loud sound like a cannon ball being fired from the gun gate.
Lexio’s pupils, who were struggling to hold on to the glass wall that was on the verge of collapsing, shook in vain.
‘Ah, this can’t be done……!’
Kwaaaaang!
The dangerous glass wall was shattered with a single blow, and the ball hit Lexio directly in the face.
Heck! With a loud voice, Lexio blew from his nose and flew several meters, rolling on the floor.
Took.
Soon, the ball landed on the floor, bouncing the ground several times with a thud, then stopped. The students outside the court stood in a daze, as if time had stopped.
and.
“this!”
“Win!”
“Nice!”
A fierce cheer erupted like a firecracker.
Bread, who had been pushing his head all the way out in an attempt to somehow find fault, blew his whistle with a very disapproving expression.
“…The final round is over, and the final winner is Class A.”
“Wow!”
The students from Class A, led by Meirin and Kamibarez, rushed out and hugged Simon and shared the joy together.
And Class C, who was watching with envy from a distance, trembled with a sense of defeat. Some had pouty lips.
“Show. Show. It doesn’t even reflect s*xuality anyway.”
“What about winning a friendly match?”
“If anyone sees it, it’s a line that is ranked first.”
Hearing some of the class C students ticking, Mei Lin turned her head. After that, he stuck out his tongue and gave high fives to the other class A students. The faces of the class C students suddenly turned red.
It didn’t matter if the grades were reflected or not. There was nothing more humiliating than losing in a competition to keyzen students.
“Looking at the chatter, it looks like the game is over?”
“Professor Hongfeng!”
From the teleport magic circle, Hongfeng and assistants with large pots appeared.
The assistants moved steadily, laid out the wood, lit a fire, and set the pot. Then Hongpeng put on his gloves and opened the lid of the pot.
“Wow!”
The boiling broth was revealed, along with white steam billowing into the sky. Even the aristocratic students lost face at the murderously delicious smell and salivated in their mouths.
“It’s a stew made with the environmentally devastating nutlack meat!”
Simon smiled bitterly at Hongfeng’s words.
‘You’ve cooked Nusslak again this time.’
Some students’ faces hardened a little at the word monster meat, but none of them reacted badly. The smell itself from that pot was so enchanting.
I just wanted to taste it.
“Don’t worry! I tried a bowl and it’s real art!”
I heard d!ck’s voice. When a student asked how you knew, she replied that she had been invited to Hongfeng’s cabin.
Stares full of envy were pierced from all sides.
“Ah! That interested seed is starting again.”
Meirin rubbed her forehead and shook her head. Simone and Cami Barez met her eyes and smiled quietly.
“It’s a bad monster that harms the environment, so in the future, please keep eating it a lot!”
“Yes, Professor!”
“Come on! Class A, let’s come forward!”
Students lined up and teaching assistants handed out earthenware with a traditional feel.
Hongfeng himself scooped out bowl after bowl, stirring the contents with a large ladle in front of the pot. The eyes of the students widened when they added plenty of meat.
“The bowl is hot, so be careful!”
The students received food and settled down in the shade of a tree. And we tasted the food while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
“……!”
“Crazy!”
There was no over-the-top reaction. Because all the students who tasted it were opening the next spoon right away.
Class C students gulped down their saliva with envious eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever been so desperate for something in my life.
“…That’s what I said, but in a grand way, we’ll give it to you too, right?”
“Oh, of course! Wouldn’t that be a warm ending?”
At that time, a student from Class C who had been spying on came running.
“There’s still some left! Each person can eat half a bowl!”
“Good good!”
Everyone turned on the happy circuit, but Kizen didn’t have that.
The rest of the stew belonged to Hong Feng and his assistants.
The assistants poured the stew into something like a large basin, and Hong Feng sat in front of the pot and ate it. The faces of the C class students turned into tears.
“Ah, don’t come to Class C!”
“Teacher assistant! Kids keep coming here to beg!”

“Back off, student. Rules are rules.”
From Class C’s point of view, it was the cruelest time in the world.
Whoop.
And Sernet secretly stole a class A student with a feather and was tasting the stew.
“It’s just like that. What’s so good about this?”
She sent the student back by ordering again with the power of the feather.
Sitting on a rock by herself with a sullen look, she could see Simon, Kamibarez, d!ck, and Mailyn laughing and chatting wildly.
“As expected Simon beat him with a golem and the flesh of the Nuslak became tender!”
“Ahaha! Nonsense!”
“Isn’t it true that the one we ate at the cabin tasted better?”
“Ugh, it’s a typical beautification of the past.”
Meirin said that, then turned her head and met Serene’s gaze.
She put on a victor’s smile and then jerked her head away.
‘Aha, is this how you feel?’
Serene smiled bitterly and took a spoonful of stew and ate it.
When I ate it, it was fine again.

That night.
Simon, who finished all the classes and finished his personal training, was heading to the roof of the dormitory. There was a curfew control line with a sign reading <Students not allowed!>, but Simon secretly crossed the control line while apologizing to his officials.
The door to the roof was firmly locked. Simon, who was looking around, found a window and approached. I saw a rope dangling outside the window.
‘This is it.’
Simon opened the window without hesitation, stepped on the window frame, grabbed the rope with both hands, and jumped down. And he climbed straight up with his arm strength and succeeded in coming up on the roof railing safely.
‘ah.’
A man with faded gray hair was sitting on a rooftop on a moonlit night.
Sitting with the soles of your feet together and looking at the full moon with your head up all the way gave off a strange atmosphere. It was like seeing a lone wolf.
Wheein.
Blade-like hair fluttered in the wind, revealing the covered ears and cheeks. There were large and small scars that looked old.
“You’re here.”
A man’s voice was heard.
Simon smiled and came over and sat down next to him.
“Since when have you been doing this? Kazan.”
“Two hours ago.”
“You are in your room.”
“I like to look at the moon. And once I close my eyes, I can’t wake up.”
Kazan quietly opened the subspace. What he took out from there was a bottle of wine and two glasses.
‘Suddenly drunk?’
Skillfully uncorking the wine with his bare hands, he poured the drink into a glass.
Squeak.
A red liquid flowed down the glass. The two raised their glasses, clashed, and brought them to their lips.
“……Good.”
“I see.”
“I like drinking wine while looking at the moon.”
You are luckier than you look. While thinking, Simon also sipped his wine.
I was blown away by the flavors dancing in my mouth. It’s not just a wine I got from Rochester. It was top notch.
As Simon savored the wine, feeling the fragrance, Kazan also put on a satisfied expression.
“Thank you for lending me Elizabeth.”
“No, what?”
There was a reason for not bringing Elizabeth to Death Land. It was because of the ongoing search for the forbidden forest and the cooperative investigation with Kazan.
Elizabeth is a spy-type ancient undead that specializes in search, reconnaissance, and information gathering rather than combat. I cooperated with Kazan and had them wander around suspicious places at night.
“She doesn’t seem to trust me that much.”
Simon giggled at Kazan’s words.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of trust.”
“hmm?”
I once asked Elizabeth why she was so obsessed with Kazan.
While lounging around in the ruins, she pouted her lips and complained about hitting her face with a rapid-fire cannon, but apparently there was a minor problem during the fight.
“As long as you have the ability as a collaborator, that’s fine. More than that.”
Kazan rummaged in his arms.
“The investigation did not have any results.”
He held out a picture that was stuck in his finger. The photo taken with the magic recorder, Simon’s eyes widened when he saw it.
That’s what the altar looks like.
The muddy blood soaked the surroundings crimson, and the entrails of the beast were dangling in clusters. And to the big cross visible in the center.
“Stop, no way…!”
“Yes, the Priest appeared.”
Kazan continued, brushing his tousled bangs.
“When we arrived at the scene, he had already finished the ritual and was away. And as we approached the altar, there was a clicking sound and the bomb exploded.”
Kazan undid a few buttons on his shirt and pulled up his clothes.
I could see well-developed abdominal muscles like bricks, and the right side of the abdomen was colored grey.
It was a sign that the wound had been restored with a potion.
“It was all his trap.”
“ah……!”
“I should have noticed when I didn’t see the statue of the goddess on the cross.”
Kazan lowered his shirt.
“I don’t know why, but it seems that he has to perform rituals periodically. And lately, the frequency of rituals has increased.”
Kazan, who was staring at the full moon in the night sky, took a sip of his wine glass and continued.
“Something might happen to Kizen soon. Stay alert.”
“……yes!”
Simon nodded with a hard face. The two clinked wine glasses again.
Is it because of alcohol or because they are colleagues with the same goal? Or is it because of the sense of camaraderie that they live in Kizen hiding their identities? The conversation went well today.
The two talked until late into the night.
“By the way, Kazan.”
Simon glanced at him and said.
“What is the reason Kazan was delayed?”
“…….”
He emptied a glass of wine without a word.
“It was for a mission.”
It was just last year.
As usual, Kazan, who was searching Roch Island at night, found a priest performing a ritual in the Forbidden Forest.
After a fierce chase, he lost sight of Priest, but succeeded in seeing the face inside the hood.
“Well then!”
Simon, who had been listening to the story, jumped up.
“You mean Kazan knows what a priest looks like?”
“The story isn’t over yet.”
The next day, Kazan didn’t even go to class and went around the whole school looking for the face he saw last night.
Then, during break, I found a first-year male student chatting with his friends in the classroom.
It was correct.
No matter how many times I checked, it matched the face in my memory.
Kazan entered the classroom, and as soon as the student saw Kazan, he took a step backwards in embarrassment, but soon turned his back and ran away.
Convinced, Kazan knocked him to the floor and beat him frantically with his fists. He passed out, bleeding all over his face.
but.
“He wasn’t a priest.”
said Kazan, pouring wine into his glass.
“To start with the conclusion, it was all a Priest’s trap. He purposely exposed his face to me while wearing a biological face made just like that student’s.”
“……ah!”
The biological face was like a camouflage tool that necromancers made to cover their faces.
“Later, when I went to the student and asked him why he was avoiding me, he said that a man who looked just like me had been stalking him. Every night he sat by the window of his dormitory room on the 4th floor and stared blankly at him.”
Simon felt a little goosebumps and rubbed his arm.
“I was given a severe punishment, and with the help of Nephthys-sama, I escaped expulsion. However, there are several restrictions on my future activities.”
Kazan clenched his fists.
“He’s very meticulous and meticulous. He’s the type to plan and move without hesitation.”
“I think so.”
Simon nodded. He was like that even during the performance evaluation. He never imagined that he would try to harm himself by doing something bad to Cyclops.
“We conducted a detailed investigation on the faculty and minions, even mobilizing mental black magic, but we couldn’t find any clues. But one thing is for sure, the priest actually exists on this island. We have no choice but to raid the site.”
“I see.”
Thinking that it would not be easy, Simon raised his wine glass.
“Now it’s your turn. I’m sure we’ve only met once, but is there any information we can deduce about the Priest?”
“Hmm. I’m a little vague.”
Simon continued as he looked at the small stones rolling around.
“I put a mark on the priest that only I can recognize.”
