chapter 3
3 – Akabug – 3
A doorbell ding-dong is heard. Looking at the TV, I saw a scene where Rosé was going out with the other students.
“Is it already the 3rd period?”
Time seemed to pass quickly while playing the game.
When I grabbed the handle of the front door and opened the door, my body was enveloped in a feeling of floating, and I moved to Rosé’s side in an instant.
Is this a mechanism too?
“ah! You are here!”
Rosé, who was walking out of the academy building at a distance by herself, greeted me as if she was happy to see me.
“Because you called. Is it already 3rd period?”
“yes! It’s sparring time. The sparring is conducted separately at the sparring hall located outside the academy.”
“okay? Guide me.”
“yes!”
The battleground was located not too far away.
The Dalyeonjang had tombstones embedded in the slopes, but it was a familiar shape.
“Is that a Prism Stone?”
[Prism Stone], a game item used for gacha, unknown letters were embedded in the middle of the stones.
“yes! I heard that the runes written on those prism stones absorb the shock that leads to death once.”
Is it like an artifact? After all, it’s a summoner academy, so it’s serious.
“Is everyone gathered!”
A booming voice came from the crowd of students. From the side, Rosé said, ‘It’s the instructor!’ whispered.
The instructor was a prisoner with wolf ears on a sheep’s head.
It was the first time I had seen Soo-in, with his brown skin and tail swinging like a pendulum behind his pants, so I felt new.
This is how it feels when you see a real beast.
“This is the start of the 3rd period, which you guys love so much. Rose von Euglia!”
“Nenep!”
Rose raised her hand at the sudden call.
“I heard that you succeeded in summoning the summoned beast.”
“yes! you’re right!”
“You haven’t been able to participate in class because you haven’t had a summons until now, right? So that you can attend class from today.”
“yes!”
Could it be that he couldn’t even take classes until now because he didn’t have a summoner?
That said, to Rosé, this sparring was no different from her first real fight.
As if to prove this, Rosé’s tightly clenched fists were burning red.
“Rosé.”
“Yes, four?!”
“Don’t be nervous. There is no one I cannot beat.”
“ah… … yes!”
Even though this body was still 1 star, it was also a body that could become the strongest in the world if enough experience and items were applied.
And, it’s absurd to think that I’m going to lose to these newbies.
“I guess you are a rumored pet?”
Instructor Suin smiles while looking at me. Instead of answering, I nodded.
“I heard that you are a demon noble. Can we expect something fun?”
Could it be that the information entered in the administrative office has already spread? I thought it was faster than I thought.
“Think on your own terms.”
Instructor Suin grins at my answer.
“Good. Roger, on the first day you summoned a summoned beast, you probably know that you have the option of sparring opponents, right?”
“Yes, I know!”
“What can change depending on your choice is the level and skill index of the summons. Think carefully and judge.”
“I will name Miss Elena.”
As soon as Rosé finished speaking, a buzz came from the students.
‘An inferior elf is Miss Elena?’
‘You don’t know about fountains?’
‘It’s going to be fun, I think I’ll be stepped on properly’
Yeah, think more. The more you talk, the more the Elena’s shame will grow.
“Rosé, are you serious about pointing out Elena as your opponent?”
The instructor asks back as if to check it once again. Rosé looked at the instructor with hard eyes and nodded.
“good night. Daisy Elena!”
“yes!”
Elena walks out confidently at the instructor’s call. Her eyes are full of poison.
“I’ll step on it properly with my summoned beast.”
“I won’t just suffer anymore. Miss Elena.”
Did he not think that Rosé would strike back? Elena’s face turned bright red.
“Enough of fighting, both of you, go upstairs with your summoned beast.”
Elena and I were on the left side of the arena, and Elena and the water spirit were on the right side.
“Then prepare the two summoners.”
The instructor took a deep breath after saying that.
Wait, that motion must be… … .
“Rosé, excuse me.”
“yes?”
I covered Rose’s ears.
At the same time, a loud sound hit the arena.
“start!!!!!!!”
The sparring began at the same time as the instructor shouted peer.
Elena glared at the instructor, clutching her ears at the sudden sonic attack.
It seemed that he was dissatisfied with peering without prior warning.
“Wait a minute, Instructor—”
[Skill: Explosive Speed]
You feel your leg muscles swell. I kicked the ground and rushed at the guy who was murmuring at the instructor.
“It’s Undine!”
At the same time as Elena’s cry, Undine, the spirit of water, activated [Skill: Water Barrier].
A kick that stops only after reaching one, two, and finally the third.
Immediately [Skill: Aqua Arrow] flies towards me.
“The Aqua Arrow that Undines use is limited to straight lines.”
As I lean down, an Aqua Arrow passes over my head.
“It starts now! Undine!”
Undine began to approach me. It was probably trying to swallow me whole and drown me.
“It’s ridiculous.”
Is this, is this the top rank in the academy?
“Rosé, I will transform.”
“yes?! Now?!”
Rosé is greatly taken aback by my remarks.
“I’ll take care of the buffs as soon as I use transformation magic.”
“yes!”
That is the main position of the summoner. Summoner’s Assistance.
“It’s Undine! Swallow!”
“huh!”
Undine, who came right in front of me, swallowed me. The situation is literally in a water prison.
“It’s Elena-sama’s water prison!”
“If you get caught on that, you won’t be able to move!”
“Elena-sama, fighting!”
Apparently, everyone in the crowd expected my defeat.
Certainly, in her present form, she would surely lose her mind in no time. However, this is not my true face.
Puffy.
It probably sounded like this to Undine.
transform.
Brilliant lights surround my body. My body, which has changed into the form of light, slowly transforms into an insect.
Three pairs of legs, a hard, black chitinous shell, long antennae and movable wings.
cockroach form. It is a transformation.
“Me-what is that!!!!”
“Quaaa”
Even in the water, you can hear the screams of the crowd.
oh, it’s fun It is so much fun to see people trembling in fear at the sight of me.
Did your tastes change after becoming a demon? I am so happy that my antennae are shaking.
“Huh?! What is this!!!!!
The Undine’s body, which had imprisoned me, began to shake with a super vibration.
burrr
Soon after, Undine spit me out and runs away.
“You’re carrying something like that! I can’t, Elena!”
“How terrible… … It’s the first time I’ve seen such a terrible look!”
Elena looked at me with a shocked expression.
No, it was fun at first, but it started to make me feel worse.
“dirty! Terrible! Truly a monster!”
no.
“I can’t lose to a hideous, ugly monster like you!”
f*ck you?
“It’s Undine! I’ll activate your lion heart!”
Elena extended her staff towards Undine and activated [Sub Skill: Lion Heart].
A skill that allows you to overcome fear below a certain level and raises your mental strength.
As if it had worked, Undine was looking straight at me.
“huh! Elena! you can do it!”
“Rosé. What I said beforehand.”
As I turned around, Rose, who was covering her eyes, answered.
“yes! I’ll bet right away!”
[Secondary Magic: Haste]
[Auxiliary magic: Invisibility]
Rosé’s magic dwelled in my body. Maybe they won’t see me anymore. You start approaching the guys.
“It’s Undine! Spread the vapor!”
At the same time Elena spoke, Undine opened her arms. At the same time, a light fog began to gather around her.
Oh, is the setting of controlling Undine’s water used like this?
“found! Undine! Aqua Arrow!”
I evade the Aqua Arrow flying in my direction by quickly moving backwards.
“Using Darksight was a big mistake! As long as we can’t see your face, we’re not afraid!”
Water vapor begins to cling to the body. It seemed like he was trying to slow down.
“Gregory!”
Perhaps because I couldn’t see myself, Rosé, who was covering her eyes, looked at me and shouted.
This much is not even on the axis of crisis.
“Rosé, close your eyes for a moment.”
“yes? all right!”
Rosé believed me and closed her eyes, then Elena pointed at Rosé and shouted.
“It’s Undine! Attack Rose! Even if you neutralize the summoner, you can win!”
I knew you would come out like that.
Block the Aqua Arrow flying towards Elena with the back plate.
The feeling of being hit on the back with a hose with strong water pressure. But no great pain.
“Keep your eyes closed, Rose. It will end soon.”
“yes!”
[Skill: Explosive Speed]
This skill is a skill that increases my speed. And just now, my [Skill: Explosive Speed] was blocked by Undine.
However, that was the story when I ran on my own two feet.
I put my body on the floor. Finally, the three pairs of legs on the ground tremble happily.
As it is, I become a single bullet and start running toward Elina.
“Ooh, Undine!”
How about a scene where an invisible figure crawls toward you? It must be grotesque and scary.
However, that wasn’t enough to defeat the two guys.
“Undine, stop it!”
“huh!”
On the path to Elina, 5 water barriers are built. However, I was able to pass by just by sticking to the ground.
“Ooh, Undine!”
“For Elena’s sake!”
Undine standing in front of Elena with her arms outstretched, she was probably blocking me with her body before swallowing me.
But what?
I have no intention of attacking myself.
[Skill: Spread Wings]
Pot Parrr!!!!! My body flies with a sound.
Dark Sight is canceled at the same time as the skill is activated.
In front of our eyes, a cockroach the size of a human is spreading its wings and flapping its wings.
“ah? ah.”
“Elina? Elina!”
Seeing my appearance, Elina’s eyes turn white. And Elina, who collapses.
Undine grabs Elina, who quickly falls, and starts shaking her.
“Elina! Elina!”
Their defeat was simple.
first. It means you don’t know anything about the other person.
second. Elena was overconfident in her own courage and did not put her lion’s heart on her.
It was to the point that Rosé fainted just by looking at me.
By the way, do you spread your wings right in front of your nose? This will cause mental damage that no one can withstand.
“transform.”
Transform your body back into human form and look back.
Rose, who still listened to me and followed me, was covering her eyes.
“Rosé, you can open your eyes now.”
“yes!”
Rosé opens her closed eyes. Seeing Elena collapsed in front of her, she smiled brightly.
“Gregory! I won! We won!”
Will it be good enough to jump around in place? A smile comes out of that look.
“victor! Roger von Euglia and her summoned beast, Gregory Jones!”
Looking from where the sound was coming from, I saw that some students had passed out or were shaking.
Even the instructor seemed to be holding his head as if the mental damage was considerable.
“Rosé.”
“yes?”
The guy who smiled and approached me before I knew it. I put my hand on the boy’s head and said.
“Don’t like it this much.”
“yes!”
And I approached the fallen Elena and Undine.
Undine is glaring at me.
“Why are you here! Are you here to make fun of us?!”
Well, originally, I should have laughed and said it was a good match here, but I wasn’t that good.
“that’s right. I’m here to tease you.”
They were the guys who bullied Rosé until I came. There is no need to show kindness.
“Don’t be too heartbroken.”
For now, I pretend to comfort you.
“Isn’t the opponent me?”
Saying that, he smiled and then turned around and left the stage with Rosé.
“Gregory Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Undine’s desperate scream from behind me. Maybe it’s because I became a devil, so even this makes me happy.
Oh, it’s refreshing. Cider is the best!
