Chapter 22 – Lucia Is Laughing (5)
The “Snake” Flicked its tongue.
I was hungry.
It was a problem that I missed ‘Wolf’.
I’ve been waiting for the strength to wear off after I’ve been hurt….
I never thought I would have dug a tunnel to escape from.
He chased the wolf’s blood and followed him to this forest, but he had just woken up from hibernation and had failed to hunt, so he had little energy left.
I needed food.
Even low-grade food that would normally not be put in the mouth had to be thrown into the stomach right now.
“…”
The smell of food was caught on the tip of his tongue.
─Suseuk
The snake followed the scent of its prey and crawled on the ground.
***
Following the scent, there was a human female with golden hair.
“Hmmmm♬”
The female was grooming her fur without any vigilance.
…Looks like it could be swallowed in one bite.
But the snake didn’t.
I don’t know if a snake can laugh, but if it did, it would have the same face it has now.
I could tell for sure when I smelled it up close.
No matter how hungry they were, it was not something to be hunted lightly.
That’s the best prey you’ll ever meet once in your life.
…It will definitely be a gourmet experience that you have never experienced before.
The snake licked his lips and thought.
You can never let them run away like wolves.
So swallow it in one breath and savor it slowly in your mouth.
Toot, thud deuk, ttuk-
Excited at the thought of tasting the prey, the excited muscles contract, and the vertically slit pupils dilate.
The snake’s body curled up and pulled its muscles to the limit.
And…
He unleashed his body at once and rushed stealthily and swiftly.
Chew-!
The moment the snake opens its mouth wide and tries to swallow the head of its prey.
“Really….”
The prey opened its eyes.
“… !”
The snake was started.
Something happened that should never have happened.
PredatorAnd PreyMisunderstood the location of
That’s why this woman’s mimicry was perfect.
“… At most, I felt good because my hair was braided well.”
‘It’, Every cell in my body alerted me.
──Escape.
It was a predator with a high class that I couldn’t even compare to.
Action was quick.
Such quick judgment is probably the reason why a snake born as a low-level monster was able to grow to a high-level monster.
The snake closed its mouth and turned and ran away.
…I was going to.
「Break—-break」
From the tail of the snake where the princess aimed her index finger, incontinence occurred like a mirror breaking, and the crack spread all over the snake’s body in an instant.
Damn-!
And the snake crumbled like powder and disappeared.
…As if nothing had been there in the first place.
“Ah really! You have to braid your hair again.”
The princess who had dealt with the snake in an instant puffed out her cheeks and grunted.
“Why! Do annoying things always happen together?”
After saying that, the princess turned her head and saw a student who was sitting there, covering her mouth her so that her voice her wouldn’t leak out.
“Hello.”
“…Tuesday…Her Highness her the Princess…”
It was Braden, a student in Class 1 of Year 1 of Carnea Academy.
Brayden, one of the few commoners in Class 1, truly respected her princess her.
Even while other nobles looked down on him as a commoner, she treated him without prejudice as much as the princess.
…But he couldn’t understand why the princess he had admired so much was now trembling with fear.
Her Highness her, the princess, only killed one monster.
Although the magic used was unusual, it was the magic of the royal family.
It’s not particularly hidden, it’s a fact known to anyone interested in magic.
Of course, the power of magic was incomparably stronger than what was known.
But in the end, Her Highness her, the princess, protected the students from the monsters.
It’s not strange to be praised, let alone faulty.
…Even so, the princess was unbearably afraid.
As if seeing something infinitely human-like, but still clearly non-human…
“Um… So… What was your name?”
“Sah, save me. Your Highness…Please…Please. I won’t tell anyone.”
Brayden begged.
Unable to understand, he just begged.
Because that’s the only thing he can do.
“What the hell are you saying?”
“That, that’s…”
Can’t answer
He didn’t even know why he was afraid of the princess.
He just had a gut feeling that he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
“Hmm…. I don’t know, but it seems.”
“Please… Please… Her Highness her the Princess…”
The princess whispered softly as she approached the pleading Brayden.
“You are not funny.”
* * *
“… Are you alive?”
I opened my eyes feeling a little bewildered.
I can understand how he got the ‘blessing of the World Tree’ and survived.
Because I couldn’t see the shining seeds, and there was no other way to live.
However, it was amazing that he was so seriously injured that he wasn’t sore or painful anywhere.
No, not to that level.
My body was so refreshed that I had never been before.
If it was now, it seemed that he would not be exhausted even if he received special training from Loreos.
‘…No, isn’t that so?’
Anyway, since I got a new talent, I checked the status window for the first time in a while.
[Name: Eugene Calliope]
[Job: Unique Ability]
[Title: none]
[Ability level]
Strength 11 ▶ 13 Agility 10 ▶ 13 Stamina 10 ▶ 14
Intelligence 10 ▶ 11 Magic 10 ▶ 11 Luck 20 ▶ 25
[Skill]
[Telekinesis (Rank E)]
[Wind─Blade (Lesser Wind Elemental Magic)] – [Created as a trainer from ‘Lucia’, power 60%]
[Characteristic]
[Blessing of the World Tree (Rank C)] ◀ New!
[The Prince on the Bed (Rank B)]
[Teacher (Rank EX)]
I was surprised to see the ability.
In a good way.
I expected that my stats would rise by obtaining the blessing of the World Tree, but the amount of increase far exceeded my expectations.
“…It’s a dog benefit.”
Is this the super-recovery you only see in cartoons? That’s what makes you stronger when you rise from the dead.
Even so, I didn’t want to experience death right around the corner again.
In fact, in terms of overall ability, he has only risen from the bottom of the Academy to the bottom of the middle.
However, it was definitely a huge benefit to have his stats, which had only risen by 1 during his special training over the past few weeks, rise this much.
‘The characteristic is… ‘
Next, he confirmed the blessing of the World Tree.
Blessing of the World Tree (Rank C)
– It is a seed made with the blessing of the World Tree. If you grow well, maybe something good will happen?
-All stats are slightly increased.
– Moderately increases recovery ability.
– Receive the blessing of the World Tree.
Not much has changed in this part of the game.
It’s because the description was written exactly like this in the game.
‘It’s fine.’
There was a reward for the amount of suffering.
Now it seems that everything worth checking has been checked.
I don’t know how faint I was, but I had to move quickly before night fell.
“Let’s go out at once.”
***
The effect of the increased ability was clearly felt.
Going back seems to have taken less than half the time it took to come in.
When I came out and stretched and checked my body condition, I burst out laughing.
“It’s a mess… “
The mixed blood of me and the goblin clung to my body, and there was no part of the school uniform left properly as it was used as a bandage.
But there was no time for grooming.
In ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’, it is after the sun has completely set that the wolf goes hunting in earnest.
I also told Lucia to call her professors at sunset.
And now the sunset was setting.
Wolves are moving in the next few hours.
To be sure, I had no intention of dealing with wolves.
Catching wolves doesn’t give any attributes or items, and since I’ve got everything I need, I don’t have to go out on my own.
I eat the blessing of the world tree, and hunting is the perfect plan for the professor.
I roughly brushed off the dust and walked out of the forest.
How long did it take
I saw the familiar silver hair in the distance.
It was Lucia.
It seemed like I was going to call the professor now as I ordered.
I quickly looked around and called Lucia’s name her in a small voice.
“… Lucia.”
Lucia looked back as if she had managed to hear it even though she called it softly.
“…Maintain…Master!”
Lucia’s mask her, which was looking back with a sober expression for her performance her, falls off in an instant.
…It was a shame because I confirmed that there was no one around.
“Ah…Ah…Lord, master… Are you okay? Uh, what should I do…. Could it be that you already fought the wolf?”
“Not. No need to worry.”
“Then…What the hell did you fight…Why…Alone again…”
Lucia, in a state of panic, gropes over my body, looking for her scars her.
“…”
It seems that I am mistaken for fighting something great.
…I couldn’t say that I almost died fighting the goblins in this situation.
“…Master…You’re hurt like this…Why…Would I…Kill…Again…”
It’s a little scary as Lucia muttered, her eyes gone out of focus.
He tries to pull her off her with a little force on her shoulder her, but Lucia is not pushed away.
“Lucia.”
“…Must…Kill…”
“Lucia!”
“… Yes… Master.”
Lucia looks at my face as if she came to her senses her only after I called her name her strongly.
And once again, water forms in Lucia’s blue eyes her.
“Master… There is blood on her face too… “
“I would have said it was fine. Rather, I must have done what I told you to do.”
“Yeah… Yes…. As soon as I found it, I also burned a baby centipede to death, and heheh… As soon as I found the marbles, I distributed them to other students and sent them back.”
“… Yes, good job.”
Everything seems to have gone according to plan.
All you have to do now is get out of the forest and call the professor.
Then everything ends perfectly.
…That is, if nothing happens.
Twitch jack!
At that moment, birds simultaneously soar into the sky, warning of danger.
It was a signal to announce the full-scale movement of the wolf.
‘…Why?’
I look up at the sky, but the sun has not yet set.
That means there is time left.
──Kaaaaagh!
A woman’s scream echoed then.
….Damn it.
It was a damn familiar voice.
‘…Vivian!’
Vivian must live no matter what.
The reason why I chose my job as a unique ability was because Vivian’s attack was premised.
Without Vivian, everything I planned goes wrong.
Running in the direction of the sound, I commanded Lucia.
“Lucia! Evacuate the students out of the forest immediately and call the faculty! It is an emergency!”
“Lord, Master! I am like the owner…”
“Okay, listen to the command! You stupid bitch! Or are you going to make me die!”
Even if it sounds harsh, I can’t help it.
There was no time to argue, no time to persuade.
“…Yes… Master…. Please be safe.”
As soon as I saw Lucia leave, biting her lip to make her blood flow, I ran back.
‘Please…! Don’t be late!’
-For sure
We must save Vivian.
