Episode 306
-Turp, trudge…
Eurelia and Lenya carrying Frey are passing through the collapsing gate.
“Heh, heh… Hey, Eurelia.”
Lenya, who was panting and struggling to catch up with Eurelia, who was in the lead and hastening her steps, soon frowned and asked a question.
“Why on earth are you trying to take Frey out?”
“……”
It was a question asked in a very blunt voice, but when no answer came again this time, Lenya’s frown became even more frowned upon.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll just leave you here?”
“…ha.”
Eurelia stopped walking only after hearing those words, glanced at Lenya and opened her mouth.
“Because I can’t leave here without that person.”
“…what?”
“We have already figured out the structure inside the gate for a long time. The moment we entered the gate, we were practically trapped inside.”
Lenya’s eyes turn round after hearing those words.
“Didn’t you see a massive energy shield being created when you came in here?”
“…huh.”
As Lenya quietly nods, Eurelia sighs and opens her mouth again.
“I’ve read a few reports about this phenomenon. Of course, there are also reports of people rushing through the gate.”
“W-What do you mean? Are you aware of this phenomenon?”
“…The Empire is just hissing, it’s already happening all over the world.”
“The Empire is hissing, how can you… ah.”
Lenya, who was asking her a question with a puzzled expression, soon opened her mouth with a cold expression.
“…My father is a successful dark figure in the empire, so it’s only natural.”
“shut up.”
Then Eurelia responded with a frightening force.
“Don’t talk nonsense about my father.”
Just like that, a cold silence passed between the two for a moment.
“Anyway, if you destroy this core, you can stop the wave of monsters early. However, the person who destroys it will incur a significant penalty.”
“Penalty?”
“Yes, there are quite a few different types… but they don’t look good anyway.”
After saying that, Eurelia glanced at Frey, who was being carried by Lenya.
“The seizure he had earlier was probably due to that.”
Lenya’s eyes shake slightly after hearing those words.
“The only chance to get out of the gate is when someone who destroys the gate core and gains permission to leave this place gets out. That’s why we have to get Frey out alive.”
When Eurelia spoke to her with her characteristic calm expression, Lenya asked the question again.
“…How do you know such things in such detail?”
“I told you. I read the report…”
“It’s too accurate to just read the report, right? I don’t think there have been that many large-scale incidents like this.”
To those words, Eurelia responded with an annoyed look.
“Sometimes the ends justify the means.”
“You guys… haven’t really changed at all.”
At those words, Lenya glares at Eurelia with a cold expression.
“How many people were sacrificed?”
“…Thanks to you, you, me, and everyone survived, right?”
However, Yurelia just said that.
“”……………………….””
A long silence fell like that.
“If what you say is true, what did the hero do?”
When Lenya, who broke the silence, looked down at the ground with a somewhat sullen expression and asked, Eurelia answered again with a calm expression.
“Hasty speculation is poisonous. There is not enough information. Until everything is clear, I will not draw any conclusions.”
“…Tsk.”
Lenya clicks her tongue, feeling fed up with her.
“…Let’s take a little rest.”
Then Lenya wipes her cold sweat and says.
“No matter how light it is, it’s still hard…”
“This place is collapsing in real time. We need to get out as quickly as possible.”
However, Eurelia dismissed her words and instead continued speaking while pacing.
“We’re almost to the exit anyway. So…”
– Kugugoong…!
“…shit.”
At that moment, a mid-level dark golem came out of the distorted space in front of him and quietly cursed.
“I was trying to get out quickly just in case something like this happened.”
“W-what is that!?”
“It’s a dark golem. It lives inside the gate. It’s difficult to fight in this state, so you have to go to the side…”
Eventually, she came up with a countermeasure in a calm but much quicker tone.
– Kugoogung!! Coogung!!!
“Kyaaaaah!?”

“…………”
When another one appeared right behind her, her calm expression began to crack.
“Uh, what should I do…? Those guys look really strong…”
– I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!
“…Ugh!!”
Lenya, who was moving to the side in cold sweat, quickly threw herself to the side when the dark golem released a black laser.
– Pajijik! Crazy!!
Lasers rushed at her once again.
– Ugh…!
“Uh, uhhh…”
Although she hastily deployed a shield, she was unable to block it all due to its overwhelming power and was thrown back toward Eurelia.
– Gigigigigi…
Eurelia, who still had a grave but pale expression, urgently raised her hand and began chanting magic.
– Sigh…! Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!
Then, the dark golem that was turning its head towards her was tied tightly to a rope and lifted into the air.
– Kkukdeukdeukdeuk…
“…Keuheuk.”
However, the dark golems did not remain silent and began to cut the ropes by exerting tremendous force on their arms and legs.
“Ugh, ugh…”
– Ping! Fibbing!
Just like that, the ropes binding the golem in front of her were broken one by one, and a ray of cold sweat came down from Eurelia’s head, who was looking pale.
– Shuuk…!
The dark golem behind her, who had completely cut off the rope on her upper body, struck her with his heavy arm.
“…ah.”
At that moment, Eurelia’s eyes, which had been struggling to maintain her magic, began to slowly waver.
– Fajieeeing…!
The inside of the gate was filled with starlight.
– Damn…
At the same time, the golem’s arm was sliced as lightly as tofu.
– Kugwagwang!!
“That sucks.”
When the arm falls to the ground and creates a huge cloud of dust, a seemingly arrogant voice can be heard coming from it.
“…I was able to catch it by myself.”
Eurelia, who heard that voice, changed her expression to a solemn expression again and answered.
“You would have already figured out my intentions.”
“When you planned all of this, you already anticipated it. That’s why we came up with the optimal strategy. We even cooperated.”
Then, Frey, who broke through the dust cloud, continued speaking with his usual arrogant expression.
“But you’re a loser.”
“I can’t admit it. Please give me a convincing reason.”
Eurelia asks Frey, whose left arm is still so damaged that the bones are visible, but the panic from earlier has disappeared, in an uncharacteristically intense voice.
“…It’s simple.”
Then, Frey, who raised his sword, turned his gaze to the side and said.
“Colleagues are not tools.”
– Fajieeeing…!
At the same time, the golem that was trying to trample on Lenya, who was lying next to the two, is cut in half and falls down.
“Now, wait a minute… Reinforcement magic? You added magic to the sword…? How is that possible…!”
After trembling in fear of death for a moment, he discovers the true nature of Frey’s attack and, leaving behind Lenya, who cries out with a frightened expression, looks straight at Eurelia and says:
“You didn’t cooperate. You just used everyone in your class and Lenya as tools.”
“Is that wrong?”
“Completely wrong.”
“Can you say for certain? And if so, why?”
When Eurelia asked, glaring at her coldly, Frey smiled.
“…Because I’m stronger than you.”
“oh.”
He quietly hugged Eurelia and whispered to himself as he cut down the golem that was trying to fire a laser at her with one blow.
‘That’s not all.’
Freyr had memorized the book of prophecy and even knew the future, but he just smiled bitterly.
“You’re strange.”
“I hear that a lot.”
“…Let go of this.”
“Nope.”
Eurelia, who was looking at Frey with a slightly furrowed eyebrow, tilted her head when he said that.
“If I pounce on you now and r**e you, will you be able to resist?”
Frey looks at her with sincere eyes and asks.
“…trash.”
“It’s no joke. There are no witnesses here and no followers to save you. You can just say you died here and destroy the evidence.”
“……..”
At first, Eurelia looked at him with disdain, but when Frey said that and stretched out his hand to her, those eyes changed to confusion.
– Swoosh, swoosh…
“I could carve a slave’s seal here now.”
“S-stop…”
“It would be a sight to see if the daughter of a proud count with countless followers became my slave.”
Frey lifted up her clothes and gently stroked her lower abdomen, whispering in a low voice in her ear.
“Of course, I can engrave something better…”
“stop…!”
She was about to kick between Frey’s legs, but when he blocked it by chanting a spell with a very calm expression, Eurelia’s eyes began to tremble again.
“You must have done well on your own so far. That’s why you have such a carefree personality.”
“……..”
“However, when such an overwhelmingly strong danger appears and shamefully overpowers you… will those you have considered as tools until now actually help you?”
Frey said that and pressed her lower abdomen with a soft smile.
“Huh.”
“Or, should we bite together?”
As Frey said that, he began to collect black mana in his right hand, and at that moment, tears slowly formed in the corners of Yurelia’s eyes as she looked up at him.
“S-Stop… Stop!”
A sound comes from right behind the two.
“G-let her go!”
Lenya, who staggered to her feet, was now aiming a magic circle at Frey, along with the spirits that were circling around her, coming out from inside her clothes.
“…….?”
“Hoo.”
Eurelia looked at this with wide eyes, while Frey looked curiously at the spirits circling around her.
“This is why ‘colleagues’, not ‘tools,’ are important.”
Soon, he looks directly at Eurelia and speaks.
“…Let’s take this as a lesson.”
“Ugh.”
Eventually, Frey pressed her stomach and pushed her out.
“Okay then, let’s go.”
Frey, who was watching the two girls with blank expressions, spoke with a calm expression.
“We have to hurry and get out… Cluck, cluck.”
Then, Frey soon started coughing.
– Sigh…
Then, he picked up the handkerchief he had kept in his pocket and started wiping his mouth.
“”…………””
Although it was only for a moment, the fresh blood flowing from the corner of Frey’s mouth was reflected in the eyes of the two girls who were watching the scene.
– Sigh…
After glancing at them a few times, he quietly put the handkerchief in his pocket.
-Turp, trudge…
I turned around and quietly started heading towards the exit.
“Hey, just saw that… huh?”
Lenya, who was staring at Frey blankly, spoke vaguely to Yurelia who was next to her, but for some reason, Yurelia, who was standing next to her just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.
“Well, that… I saved him.”
Lenya looked around for a moment with a blank expression, and then looked dumbfounded at Eurelia, who lowered her head without saying a word and started following Frey.
“by the way…”
She then begins to mutter quietly.
“What I just saw… no matter how you think about it, that’s it, right?”
Lenya’s eyes begin to narrow.
“I need to investigate.”
Eventually, she muttered that and quietly walked away.
“What exactly is his relationship with the warrior of money?”
.
-Turp, trudge…
The exit from the gate is getting closer.
“Um, who’s coming over there?”
“A monster again? Ugh… stop now!”
Then, the sounds of children coming from afar.
As expected, it seems that they were all unable to escape and remain at the exit.
– Pajik, pajik…!
“It’s hard to deal with Mr. Aris…!”
As I quietly walk toward them, I hear the sound of clashing weapons and a lament like that.
“I follow the master’s orders…”
As I ordered, Aris was waging a guerrilla war against the children.
Of course, since it was an engagement with no intention of causing harm to either side, no damage occurred, but it was still able to clearly impress upon the first-year students that ‘Aris is dangerous.’
Yes.
In this election, Aris will completely lose the support of Class 1-A.
It may be a bit cowardly, but that doesn’t mean we can’t let the Demon Lord take advantage of it, so there’s nothing we can do about it.
“Stop it now, Aris.”
“…Yes, master.”
As I spoke in a low voice, Aris stopped attacking and quickly approached me.
“good job.”
“thank you…”
Eventually, when I kneel down on one knee and pat her head down, she stumbles with an awkward expression on her face.
“”…….?””
Then, the children looked at us blankly, then tilted their heads and started making suspicious expressions.
Anyway, since they are all elite, they have a good sense of insight. I can’t believe you’ve already noticed my and her unnaturalness.
“Hey, Professor. I have a question…”
In fact, Lenya, who had been glancing at me from the side earlier and continuously expressing that she wanted to ask me something, eventually couldn’t hold back and came over to me and started asking questions.
“hmm…”
It shouldn’t go on like this. If you’re not careful, your plan may go wrong.
“…Did you see what Kania used to do to me? Just naturally follow what you’ve seen and heard so far.”
So I hurriedly whispered that to Aris, and her eyes turned business-like like Cania’s.
– Swoosh, swoosh…
Then, she closes her eyes and begins to rub her cheek against my upper leg.
what?
I told you to imitate Kania, not Lulu?
– Sigh…
As I was panicking, she suddenly bit at the zipper of my pants and began to slowly pull it down.
“S-stop. Stop.”
Thanks to her, I urgently ordered that and took a step back, and she quietly regained her appetite.
I had forgotten that Aris lived under my desk for a week.
His eyes must have been covered, so how on earth would he know the identity of the attacker?
“”…………””
Still, it seems that he has completely succeeded in making children hate him, let alone suspect him.
“eww…”
Lenya, who was about to ask me a question, also glanced at me with a cold expression for a moment.
“…Everyone pay attention.”
While stroking the head of Aris, who had started to act more kindly towards me after imitating Kania, I started talking to the children.
“This concludes the practical training.”
“Damn practice…!”
“Get us out of here!!”
“Are you planning to kill us all!?”
Then, voices came out from all over, their dissatisfaction reaching its peak.
“All of your actions outside and inside the gate have been recorded. It will be reflected in the evaluation and used as a topic for the next class, so please refer to it.”
I spoke to them with a calm expression and began to quietly head towards the exit of the gate.
As I said, Lulu was in charge of recording from the outside, and Aris, who had a magic tool hidden in her body, was responsible for recording from inside.
I’m really happy to have some good materials to strengthen them.
“hmm…”
With that in mind, I was about to leave the gate, but then I opened the system window with a puzzled expression on my face.
It was because I was curious about his sudden recovery in mental state.
[Current status: Limited time limit/mortal wound/lost left arm/curse of weakening mental strength MAX (suspended)]
“hmm…”
However, when I looked at the system window, I became even more confused.
Various mental illnesses such as depression and suicidal impulses that were caused by the curse of mental weakness have disappeared.
Not only that, the curse is ‘paused’.
If the curse is over, it’s over, what does pause mean?
“hmm…”
Meanwhile, life force and mana are overflowing within the body, but wounds such as fatal wounds have not recovered at all.
It feels like I’ve only half recovered.
– flinch…
Thanks to this, I continued to tilt my head and became lost in thought as I glared at Eurelia, who was looking at me closely from behind and flinched when our eyes met.
‘What did you do to my body…?’
Legina and Eureliana have been watching me closely since a while ago. Could it be that one of these two did something to me?
“……Then, let’s just leave.”
After thinking about this carefully, I muttered that and walked out of the gate.
If the gate collapsed any further, the door could be closed.
“…oh.”
For your information, I grabbed the arm of the pretentious Ruby who was looking quietly worried next to me and left at the same time.
So that he doesn’t do anything stupid.
“Everyone, get out! Frey went out and the shield was temporarily disabled! The shield will close in a moment, so hurry!!”
Then, Lenya shouted like that from behind.
How did they find out about something like that? I thought Eurelia would speak, but it was surprising.
It seems that she is gradually showing that she loves her colleagues and has the qualifications to become a focal point.
So, as a professor, I’m a little happy…
“I came out!!”
“Encircle, surround!”
When I came out with a quiet smile, students and faculty were pointing weapons and magic circles at me.
“……?”
What is this?
.
“Frey, just let the hero go!”
“Did you think you would get away with doing something like this?!”
As criticism pours in from all directions, Frey tilts his head with a puzzled expression.
“Calm down, everyone! Everyone is safe, so please calm down for now!”
Ruby, whose arm was being held by him, shakes off his hand and shouts with a puzzled expression.
– I knew the plan would fail, so I told them in advance that you were the one behind it.
At the same time, Ruby’s voice rang in Frey’s ears.
– How do you like my gift, Frey?
At the same time, the cold gaze of all students and all faculty is focused on Frey.
“…Ugh.”
Then, Frey began to sweat heavily.
“haha…”
Soon, Frey began to exhale harshly and show signs of anxiety, stroking the handkerchief in his arms and muttering to himself.
‘If my mental strength hadn’t recovered even temporarily, I would have been in big trouble.’
Even now, he wanted to sit down due to the effects of the curse that had been placed on him just moments ago, but Frey gritted his teeth as he thought about what he would have looked like if the curse had been intact.
“…He saved us.”
“P-It’s a bit hard to say it was Frey’s doing…”
Just like that, Eurelia and Lenya, who were looking at Frey, who was trembling under the cold gaze and murderous words of all the students, muttered in low voices.
“…what.”
When things didn’t go as he wanted, Ruby looked at him with slightly embarrassed eyes.
[Surprising Quest: Corruption]
Reward: Everything
[Y/N]
A black, glowing quest window appeared in front of Frey.
“You planned this from the beginning, Ruby. Instead of spending a ton of points, you targeted my corruption.”
That moment when Frey, who had been staring at the system window, glared at Ruby with a cold expression and stretched out his hand.
– Squeeze, squeak…!
“……!?”
His system window suddenly started cracking.
– Crackle, crackle…
“Is this…?”
In such an unprecedented situation, Frey steps back with a puzzled expression.
-Binggrrrr…
“……!”
Eventually, tentacles appeared from the crack, and something like a spinning sphere appeared.
“Is this… the pupils…?”
That’s when Frey’s face turned pale when he saw that.
– Pazzu…
Suddenly, Frey’s system starts to crackle.
[Wednesday @%locked[email protected]%\$…]
“…!”
Finally, the system window that was clattering released that phrase.
[Fourth Trial]
A bright red phrase floated below it.
“W-what!?”
Frey, seeing this, shouts with a puzzled expression.
“The fourth trial is… the second year!!”
[The fourth ordeal begins…]
But despite his voice, the system began to emit phrases without mercy.
“……Heh.”
The moment when Frey, who had been watching the scene blankly, made eye contact with the youngest paladin who had been mixed in with the crowd of children without any presence until now and then stepped forward.
“ah.”
A short single word that came out of the mouth.
“shit.”
Before she knew it, her eyes were stained with the black color she used when possessed by a demon.
“Well then, I hope you enjoy your ordeal.”
“you…!”
The youngest paladin politely bows his head and extends his arms in a gesture. And then, Frey extends his hand to her.
“It’s already too late…”
That was when the black-eyed paladin, who was looking at Frey with a sneer, put his hand on the sword at his waist and said that.
– Pazuzuzu…
“OMG?”
Suddenly, the paladin’s pupils dilated, and a bewildered sound came from her mouth.
– Rumbling…!
Then, in a split second, her pitch-black eyes begin to glow golden again.
– Squeak…!
Her sword swung at the same time.
– Tsuzuzu…
As the golden sword passes through the system and splits the pupil in half, the guy whose eyes were wide open closes his eyes with them split in half.
“”…………””
And then a brief silence began.
[Unknown error occurred]
[Restart the system]
[Time remaining until reboot: 0 minutes 53 seconds…]
“Whew…..”
When the fourth ordeal, which started out of nowhere, was successfully completed, Frey sat down with a pale face.
“…eww.”
This was because blood continued to flow from his completely damaged left arm, causing anemia.
“Uh, um…”
Meanwhile, the golden-eyed paladin was staring at him blankly.
“This… this wasn’t Frey’s doing!”
Looking around at everyone with an awkward expression, he raised his voice and declared.
“This erosion phenomenon… is the work of the religious order!!”
As soon as the declaration was over, silence began to flow throughout the academy.
“Oh, how ungrateful they are! I… no, the sun god is angry! Obviously!”
She added that while sweating profusely.
“young master!?”
“Fray!!”
“What the f*ck…”
“As expected, as quickly as possible…”
Frey, who was watching all these scenes, looked at Kania, Klarna, and Irina, who were looking at his left arm with a pale expression, and muttered quietly.
“…I need to get my vaccinations done.”
It was after Frey finished saying that that he lost consciousness.
.
Meanwhile, at that time, the snowy mountains of the western continent.
[Luna: Sister! Declare with a little more dignity and authority!! Don’t be attached to strange people!!!]
[Stella: The foreign news guy must be in quite a hurry. Even doing such crazy things. It must be a big burden for you too.]
“Uhm…”
Glare sat on the shattered Bingryong’s head, shaking his legs and turning on the ‘guidance function’ of the assistant system, and then watching the strange conversation that appeared before his eyes.
“What is this…?”
He quietly tilts his head and begins to wiggle his small fingers around.
And after a while.
[Glare: Isn’t it true?]
A message appears in the system window.
“Wow, this is amazing!”
Glare, who saw the message he typed appeared in the system window, started shaking his legs with a twinkle in his eye.
[Luna:?]
[stellar:?]
[Solar:?]
Hooks began to appear in her system window.
[Luna: How did you access here?]
[Stella: What???]
[Solar: Hello, how are you? But who…]
“But… who are these people?”
Soon, in response to the barrage of questions that began to pour in, Glare simply tilted his head with a bright expression and mumbled cutely.
fantasy,
