Academy Assassination Genius

chapter 19



When Namgoong-Ik joined, it took an instant to defeat Juliet, who was left alone.

He was also in a state where he lost his will to fight, so he was defeated more easily than expected.

I think I knocked it down in a gentlemanly way as much as possible in my own way.

… maybe

“It’s fortunate that I didn’t meet these two people when they were alone.”

nod-

It seems that Namgoong-Ik agrees with the opinion I gave out like a monologue.

Of course, I can’t get close to it because I’m still wearing my brain.

I would like to give you a high-five if you have the same mind, but if you do it wrong, you will get an electric shock.

‘First of all, it seems that the problem of overheating of the mana circuit has been resolved.’

The first and second doors that had been wide open were closed again.

A momentary feeling of helplessness.

It is a natural phenomenon that occurs because the mana output that was forcibly raised is returned to its original state.

‘I passed the hangobi.’

All I know is, ‘What mission must I clear to get a stamp?’

I don’t even know the movement of the sophomore seniors.

‘If I get caught wrong, I might be eliminated before collecting the seals.’

No matter how much I became strong after taking the elixir, it wasn’t enough to defeat two of the most talented people in my second year seniors.

Let’s just say this is what I ended up doing.

It was only because they caught the two of them off guard and separated them, and stuck to each other to pass the time.

‘Is this the reason why the opening of the third door was written down as the minimum condition for using the technology? It eats up a lot more mana than I thought.’

However, ‘Chuji’ is not a special move that drains all mana immediately after use, but a simple movement that can be used several times in a row.

This time, thanks to the shrine’s overflowing mana, he didn’t lose consciousness.

Next time, immediately after use, due to mana depletion symptoms, you will lose consciousness and pass out.

‘How many more elixirs do I have to take in the future… .’

There is still one pill left in the palgwaro and the elixir stolen before the entrance ceremony.

Of course, because of the internal injuries he suffered this time, he had to refrain from taking new elixirs for a while.

As soon as you feel better… .

“Cool.”

Along with a dry cough, blood trickled down his mouth.

The blood on the back of the hand that wiped the corner of his mouth was black.

It seemed that it was not good to rapidly consume mana while suffering internal injuries.

If the elixir I took wasn’t a shrine, I would have had to stay in the hospital for a while.

Namgoong-Ik asked me in a worried voice.

“it’s okay?”

“It’s nothing to worry about too much.”

With the help of ‘physical arts’, I can accurately know my physical condition.

The impurities in the magic circuit were mixed with the blood and flowed out, but the internal injuries were not so severe.

“It’s nothing to worry about too much.”

“really?”

“Am I going to lie about something like this?”

Perhaps thanks to his heightened level, his physical condition is much better than before.

The burns on the palms and the whole body were almost healed.

“I’m thinking of going this way first. Which way are you going?”

“together… .”

“No, I think it would be better to move separately. It looks like I might catch my ankle.”

“it’s okay.”

“It’s because I’m not okay.”

There was a bit of a scuffle due to differences of opinion, but Namgoong-Ik couldn’t beat me in a verbal fight.

Eventually he understood my opinion.

“Then, I’ll go over there.”

“It’s the opposite way. See you later.”

“Are you really going to be okay alone?”

“Sure.”

Perhaps because he saw me coughing up blood, Namgung-ik didn’t seem to be able to move easily.

I met him for the first time today and seeing him like that makes me want to be a friend with a lot of affection.

We talked about seeing each other later and soothed each other well.

“Shall I go now too?”

I got off the road and hid among the bushes, moving cautiously on a low creep.

Two seniors passed by, but didn’t spot me.

Wouldn’t you have thought that there would be juniors hiding like this?

‘Considering the raiders, it’s better to go for a slightly more difficult mission.’

The mission difficulty ranges from one star to five stars.

As the difficulty level increases, it would be nice to increase the number of stamps given, but only one stamp can be obtained at a location regardless of difficulty.

‘Then wouldn’t it be advantageous to go around places with low difficulty?’ You might think so, but it’s not.

Unless you’re hoping for an enthusiastic congratulatory procession from your seniors, it’s best not to go anywhere near one or two stars.

‘It’s the same for sophomores because there are rewards based on performance.’

I know that there are definitely higher scores hanging around the neck of those with excellent grades in admissions like me and Namgoong-ik.

I would probably look like a golden goblin in the eyes of my second year seniors.

‘I hope that Namgoong-ik will defeat as many seniors as possible… After all, everything must be difficult, right?’

If you go in the direction Namgungik is facing, you will come to a lake.

The mission you can receive there is ‘Lake Fishing’, and the difficulty level is one star.

The mission itself isn’t difficult, but it’s also the place where the largest number of sophomores are hiding.

‘Namgoong-Ik could easily defeat any opponent, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow him.’

The problem is that I, who got caught up in the process, could be eliminated.

That’s why I chose to move separately from Namgung-ik.

‘Among the remaining people, Namgoong Ik is also the strongest competitor.’

It was more free to move alone, and there was a possibility that the methods prepared in advance could not be used due to moving together.

From my point of view, even if the difficulty of the mission is high, it is more comfortable to reduce the attacks of the second year seniors.

Depending on the conditions, there are quite a few places where the difficulty drops rapidly to less than one star.

‘The things I brought beforehand… I did get a little burnt from the heat. I don’t think there’s any problem with writing.’

It seems that the scent from the leaves has become deeper and deeper than when they were raw as they were dried in the heat.

The things I have on my body are not only memorization and tools like smoke bombs.

As much as I knew that an orientation was prepared after the entrance ceremony, I came prepared in my own way.

‘I didn’t know that I would fight Yoo Hyeon-hwa before that… .’

It’s already past.

Aside from breaking through the limit, thanks to that, I was able to unlock the Baguaro, even for a short time.

I arrived at the place to get the first seal with such a low crawl.

The place is a forest.

Difficulty is three stars.

“Oh, the next freshman has finally arrived.”

Wow, blonde drill hair.

I never thought the day would come when I could see the antique hair that would appear in a cartoon.

If it were a fancy dress rather than a school uniform, the owner of the impression that would come to mind is standing in front of my eyes.

“The name… Hanzo! You are Hanzo. I didn’t expect to meet this second-year student who entered with a perfect score on the practical test.”

“I didn’t expect to see Selena Student President like this. Can I get a stamp?”

“Sure. If I can successfully carry out my mission.”

She covered her mouth with a fan and smiled old-fashionedly.

Student President Selena Kim.

As the granddaughter of principal Chul Kim and a quarter elf, her appearance was greatly influenced by her grandmother, who is an elf.

As the senior and student council president of the third year, she is a person with more power than a moderate instructor.

That is why she, who is only a student, is conducting orientation.

“What can I do?”

“In this forest, my pet, Kitty, is hiding. If you find Kitty and put this bell around her neck, I will stamp it for you.”

Literally, ‘put a bell around the cat’s neck’.

She received a ball of thread and a bell from the student council president, Selena.

It is an ordinary thread and needle that can be obtained anywhere.

“Kitty is shy, so you’ll have to scour the woods.”

“Then can we start?”

“Sure. If you are ready, go in.”

I untied the skein of thread, cut it to an appropriate length, and tied it with a bell between them.

“Ah, hurting Kitty is disqualification, so please be careful with that too.”

“It doesn’t matter if I dig a trap or lure it instead, right?”

“It doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t harm Kitty directly.”

I left her behind and went into the woods.

It was a bit dark because of the shade of the tall trees, but not enough to use ‘The Jackdaw’s Poem’.

I had no intention of using it here.

It was a while to walk in the forest while feeling the phytoncide.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

A low cry of the beast began to be heard.

Contrary to her cute name, Kitty, her pet that is hiding here is not that cute.

“It came out sooner than expected. I thought it would take a long time because I was shy.”

A gigantic body over 3 meters tall, with big, thick fangs.

Like the name Kitty, it is a feline animal, but it is a beast that must have gone extinct thousands of years ago.

Scientific name, Smilodon.

Other names include saber-toothed tiger or saber-toothed tiger.

Of course, it’s a type of monster, and it’s not exactly the same as the ancient Smilodon, but it’s appearance and habits are exactly the same.

“Hello Kitty?”

Kitty greeted me with an ambush instead of an answer.

I don’t know how she hid her gigantic body, but Kitty rushed at her prey with sharp eyes.

“Do you like this?”

As if I had waited, I took it out of my pocket and scattered it.

Something that would be more effective than daggers or memorization for cats.

“Maybe it’s because it’s dried, doesn’t it smell like catnip?”

Catnip, also known as catnip.

There are likes and dislikes, but it is a product that felines are so crazy about that it is called ‘a drug for cats’.

And it was the same for Kitty, who is considered an ancestor.

Kyrrrrrrreung-

The guy who had just been running towards me as if he was going to eat me has become as gentle as a kitten.

“Right, right.”

After all, catnip, the effect is certain.

“Stay still.”

I hung a bell around my neck and stroked Kitty’s head, which was drunk with catnip.

Looking at it like this, it is a big cat without fail.

I stroked the growling kitty for a while and then came out of the woods.

“Oh, you came earlier than expected. Are you giving up?”

“no. Did you bring a bell?”

“Already? Kitty!”

When she called her name, Kitty staggered out of the woods.

He was still high on catnip.

“Really neck drops… This smell, catnip?”

“Doesn’t everyone carry around some catnip in their pockets?”

Kitty’s combat power is between B rank and A rank in terms of monsters.

Even if the two seniors, Romeo and Juliet, attack at the same time, they have a terrifying force that makes it impossible to guarantee victory.

gal rureung-

Although now it’s just a little big cat drunk on catnip.

I held out the map to the student council president Selena and said.

“Now, please stamp here.”

“Catnip… Did you happen to have it?”

“Because I like cats.”

“… Let’s skip it for today. To the point where I carry catnip in my pocket. Hanzo seems to really like cats.”

Having said that, she gave me the first stamp.

Now I only need to collect 4 more stamps like this.
