103. Senior, don’t you like me?
dungeon exploration.
Catch the boss through a narrow and dark labyrinth. And find hidden treasures there.
It was an action that was repeated like nogada in an RPG game.
Me, Tesha, and Reus passed through the aisle. Midterm exam practical evaluation is dungeon exploration and raid.
I wonder if a party of three can be called a raid. However, at the Hero Academy, the difficult task is made.
because? It’s because it’s not a general party, but a warrior’s party, so it’s because it’s raised strong.
I was in charge of the defense on the left, Reus was in charge of the center, and Tesha was in charge of the attack on the right.
I spread the magic in my left hand like a curtain and illuminated the surroundings. With it, it was possible to both defend and secure sight.
Because I was in charge of defense in the first place.
Then, as I circled the labyrinth, I untied the skein and marked the route we had taken. Tesya carves a scratch in the wall and Reus drops a piece of stone.
While marking the road in three ways in this way, Reus made a map of the movement route from time to time.
Canyon, who was behind us, analyzed our actions one by one with a hawk’s eye.
‘At a glance, it’s an attitude that doesn’t like us.’
A battle ensued. A group of hobgoblins jumped out, and we cut them down without difficulty.
When a trap device appeared, the first to find it ordered a stop and dismantled the trap.
To evaluate the difficulty of the dungeon itself, it’s low-medium.
Soon after, a wide hall appeared.
It was the center of the labyrinth and the boss room. The ceiling was higher than in other places, and crystal pillars illuminated the surroundings.
And on the altar installed in the center stood a gigantic half-man, half-beast Minotaur.
Size is approximately 10 meters.
The boy had red eyes shining through his shaggy fur. The guy with big horns and a huge ax let out a snort.
The ferocious look just seems to have mad cow disease.
“I will take care of it.”
Tesha shouted as she ran.
The guy swung a huge axe.
Tesha easily dodged the axe. A roar rang once. As the ax hit the floor, Tesha ran on it like a cat.
“Haa!”
The Minotaur tried to hit Thesha with his left arm. Now it’s my turn. I cut off his knuckles with a black blade.
Sasak-
A cut surface appeared where the sword’s trajectory passed. Tesya rode the Minotaur’s forearm and sprinted up to her shoulder.
Then he released his mana and threw out a three-sword. A silver blade plunged deep into the Minotaur’s temple.
The blade pierced his body with ease, as if an iron skewer was poking through well-cooked meat.
Dark red blood poured out of the Minotaur’s nose.
Patter.
Blood spilled onto the ground.
The unstoppable ferocious fell to the ground with a thud.
widely.
After performing a somersault, Tesha landed lightly on the ground.
It cut the boss mob in just a few seconds. The series of processes were perfect without any superfluities.
“Sir, it’s over.”
“ah… . uh, uh yeah.”
Kanion, who had crossed his arms in a crooked posture, came to his senses. A look of resentment passed over Kanion.
But soon, Kanion changed his expression completely.
“I will tell you the overall evaluation. Your method was too standard.”
“yes?”
Tesya asked back as if she was more than embarrassed. No wonder I was the same.
“This is a virtual dungeon. The patterns of the labyrinth and monsters are clear. However, do you think only standard methods will work in reality?”
That was right. catchy words.
Tesha was listening to this absurd statement. Also, Tesha. calm and nice
“Your dungeon raid was too standard from beginning to end. In dungeons, there are countless variables such as traps and ambushes. There may also be sudden actions of the Witchbeast. Next time, try to come up with a more creative way.”
What a creative way.
According to his Sim Bo-sang, if he had used a creative method, he would have said he used a creative method.
“But in textbooks… .”
Tesha tried to ask something. We would have wanted to appeal that our method was perfect as a textbook.
“Are you talking back?”
“yes… ?”
“There is a practice evaluation to learn something other than the textbook. That’s the problem with nerds like you. It means that you can’t deal with unexpected behavior outside of textbooks.”
The words were clearing water.
Reus tapped the nape of his neck with a spear and laughed.
“So if I had used that creative method, I would have called it creative.”
To be honest, I had no desire to stand in a confrontation with my senior. Now that I’ve been to the military, I know that there’s nothing good about losing to seniors.
Still, I don’t think it’s pointed out for unreasonable reasons.
“what? Did you say Ethan? What did you just say?”
“I think our method was right. I don’t think it’s right to denigrate textbook-perfect methods as uncreative. senior.”
It wasn’t just right, it was perfect without a single mistake. Kanyon’s brow narrowed.
“That is the frog in the well. Practice is different from practice.”
“Yes, of course there will be a difference between practice and practice. thanks for the advice I hope seniors will teach us that ‘creative practice’.”
Professor Sylvia also acknowledged it.
If you’re not confident in your creative side, just do what you’re told. There were more than a handful of cases where people couldn’t do what they were told to do.
Canon sighed.

A cafe inside Nadia Academy.
Tesha and I are taking a break at the cafe after the evaluation. As soon as the evaluation was over, Reus said he had something to do and went away.
Tesha let out a short sigh. As I stirred the straw, I heard the sound of clattering ice.
“ha… , Is there any creative way?”
“Don’t worry too much. Tesha.”
Anyway, the midterm period was also over. After taking a break for a while, he planned to learn how to fight against Lien while fighting.
There was a lot of work to be done.
“Okay. I keep thinking there might be a better way.”
Any other better way?
To be honest, I don’t remember anything. In the dungeon, releasing ignorant magic power to crush opponents is limited.
Because depending on the dungeon, the dungeon could collapse.
So it is right to target the vital points and deal with them at once.
Like the troll hunting method, there is also a method of piercing the opponent’s heart by digging into the back, cutting off the heel, and knocking him down.
Of course, that is a textbook method.
“I don’t know.”
“Hey, that Ethan… .”
Tesha asked cautiously as if she had something to say. Then, Sepia waved her hand and approached me. Tia followed behind him.
“Edaan! Tesya! What are you doing here?”
It seemed that the practical evaluation of the two was over. Sepia lightly pulled out a chair and sat together.
“Oh, I was just talking about what happened today.”
“Hee-hee, is it? Did you do well on the test?”
“Just like that?”
“Well, it must have been good because the team was good.”
Tia also calmly sat beside Sepia. After spending the night with Tia, seemingly nothing has changed between us.
Tia seemed to want that too.
“The test is over today, what are you all going to do?”
“Well… . I have a lot of work to do.”
“I decided to pierce my ears this evening.”
Sepia spoke proudly. Tia, who had been listening from the side, smiled.
“What, why are you laughing?”
“Sepia, you know what?”
“What, what do you know?”
Sepia’s eyes shook as if she sensed anxiety. Either way, Tia calmly continued her words.
“Some people say that the ear contains a lot of optic nerves.”
“uh? uh… ? therefore?”
“Do you know what the girl who pierced her ears said one day as soon as she got her ears pierced?
Sepia was listening to Tia’s words.
“uh? Mister, why are the lights in the store suddenly turned off?”
It was a joke that he lost his eyesight because he hit his optic nerve while piercing his ears. Sepia was also shocked when she understood the meaning behind it.
“Goodbye. sepia. You must come back intact. go for it!”
“Is that a lie? Are you making fun of me?”
“I do not know? But there’s nothing wrong with being careful!”
“No! How are you going to be careful there?”
Laughter leaked out from Sepia and Tia’s tiki-taka. Looking at it this way, Sepia also had a naive side.

Canyon’s stomach simmered. Ethan didn’t like him. Don’t you dare to talk back when your senior gives you personal advice?
It wasn’t even that he was intimidated by it.
‘What I don’t like most is that the bitch elf likes her.’
Kanion looked up Ethan’s grades before the practical exam.
His grades are in the top 20 of the school.
Compared to myself, who was always ranked in the top 10 in the school, his grades were shabby.
Besides, he was the eldest son of a famous warrior family. For 300 years, he produced quite a few outstanding warriors among the Amos collateral, and was well recognized by the Empire.
“How dare you… .”
My teeth were grinding. I wanted to find him and warn him properly. So, I headed to the cafe to find him.
Right after the exam was over, he and Tesha headed to the cafe.
Originally, I was thinking of going for words in moderation.
A senior gives advice, what kind of attitude is that? Like your arrogance will lead to the death of your party members.
However, his heart changed when he saw Ethan laughing and talking surrounded by three women.
The three were the ones who went up to the concert hall with Tetise. There was no way Kanion would forget that.
At the same time, the humiliation of being blown away by Tia creeped up from within.
“So you’re not going to pierce your ears?”
“No, then I heard about it, so what!”
“Foot, sepia is also naive. Why does the ear have an optic nerve?”
“Who doesn’t know that? It’s just that I’m not in a bad mood!”
Pink hair and red hair were arguing in the middle of the day. Kanion walked over to the table over there and stood next to Ethan.
“Follow me. Ethan. I’ll fix your habits.”
A brown leather glove fell in front of Ethan. It meant an application for a duel. Ethan’s Iced Americano fell on the thrown glove.
A brown liquid spilled onto the table.
The eyes of the three women looked up at Kanion.
“If you apologize right now, I’ll make it happen.”
But Ethan wasn’t nervous at all. Silently looking at the gloves, he looked at the carnion and muttered lowly.
“Senior, what is this?”
The cold black eyes met Kanyon.
