91 – Episode 17. Cheongmyeong High School.

<4>

“Heo Eok… Heo-eok… “

How long had I run, I finally came into sight of the school gate of Cheongmyung High School.

Only then did I catch my breath and slowly slow down.

As I got closer, the moat surrounding the school was dry.

This is probably the reason why Ross took control of the water management facility.

“I wonder if there is anything there.”

Cheongmyeong High School is hiding something. I know it, but I don’t know exactly what it is.

Because I fell into the world of this game when Legend of Academia was about to solve this rice cake in earnest and develop the story.

I have an ominous feeling.

I thought that maybe something more difficult to handle than Ross was hidden in the basement.

I wish it could be tilted.

As I passed the grand school gates, I could clearly see the traces of Ross.

Like the slices of bread in Hansel and Gretel, the guards collapse at regular intervals and groan.

I won’t miss it even by mistake.

I was walking with a slightly loose heart, but soon after, I stopped at my seat with a chill running down my spine.

Heavyly armed corpses are scattered all over the place.

This is probably what Ross did too.

When I saw the bloodless corpse, I immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

The faces of the three who went first flashed through my mind.

If something happens to them…

“…Let’s hurry up.”

I muttered to myself as if to promise myself, and then I picked up my speed again.

Even if the body’s limiter is lifted, it doesn’t really become as hard as a person with body enhancement ability.

It’s true that you can move faster than usual and be strong, but that’s all.

It is not much different from being seriously injured if cut by a knife.

That’s why Ross dodged Suisei’s attack with all his might.

‘This is the first time I’ve fought a swordsman twice in one day.’

This time, the opponent was a little more troublesome than that kid who wielded the greatsword.

The attack of the greatsword, which carried the weight of the whole body, was not too difficult to evade because the trajectory was so obvious.

It was easy to win just by feeding the counter a few times.

But the black-haired swordsman, Suisei Kasuga’s attacks are dazzling.

It’s not just flashy swordsmanship with no substance.

The unique heaviness of a person who has repeated training for many years is contained in each movement.

‘It’s not that there aren’t any gaps, though.’

For example, now.

That swordsman wielded with a bell is definitely sharp, but the following movements are a bit clumsy.

A young student with little practical experience, no matter how hard he’s trained.

But even if there was a gap, it wasn’t so easy for Ross to aim for it.

Because the moment you dig in to aim for the defenseless side like now-

It is because Chae Hee-rin’s red-hot flame appeared as if she had been waiting for it and attacked Ross.

‘… It’s cumbersome.’

It is impossible to avoid that attack with the body weight forward.

But as if that common sense was good, Ross jumped backwards like a character in the game to avoid the flames.

If we were to prioritize, we would have to defeat Chae Hee-rin first, but…

I’m worried about the silver-haired girl standing next to her in silence.

“Haa… ha… “

As the distance widened, Suisei took a moment to catch his breath.

Ross, on the other hand, showed no sign of exhaustion.

“… You are strong, you.”

“Somehow.”

“With such strength, why… !”

Suisei shouted as if he was screaming.

As a girl in her conservatory, she couldn’t understand why Ross would commit such atrocities.

Isn’t it the duty of the powerful to protect and protect the weak?

Ross quietly lowered his stance instead of answering Suisei’s question.

‘He’s still a child.’

As it was, Ross immediately kicked the ground.

However, that run was in the opposite direction to where Suisei was.

To be precise, toward the building Baek Chung-hwan had fled into.

“Doesn’t it look like you’re just watching!”

Suisei shouted and activated her ability.

The bone-chilling chill transforms into a slash of ice through the black sword.

Suisei tried to stop Ross from escaping by erecting a wall of ice.

“Ugh… “

However, the attempt quickly went to nothing.

Ross turned her head and glared at Suisei, and at the same time, the chill in her hands disappeared in an instant.

‘… What the hell was that?’

A high degree of concentration is required to activate her ability.

However, the instant her eyes met Ross’s, her concentration was shattered in an instant.

Perhaps an application of that man’s ability, mental manipulation.

After Suisei concluded that, she immediately chased after Ross and shouted.

“Sosoyang! Miss Heerin! The enemy can momentarily block the activation of the ability!”

“Kasuga-senpai, hold on a second—First of all, form a line!”

“I don’t have time for that!”

Despite Chae Hee-rin’s cry, Suisei didn’t stop and ran straight ahead.

I don’t know what would happen if I lost Ross now.

‘…If only Mr. Sihyuk would come.’

With Lee Si-hyeok’s ability to amplify, he can somehow overcome this situation.

Considering that the first attack worked, it is clear that a surprise attack or an attack from a distance beyond a certain distance cannot be blocked.

She doesn’t have to be herself.

Baek So-so, or Chae Hee-rin.

If anyone is given a single chance, he will be able to take down Ross with Lee Si-hyeok.

So, his job is simple.

He has to grab Ross’s ankles somehow.

I had to wait a bit longer until Lee Si-hyeok came.

Ross quickly entered the building, and Suisei soon followed.

The moment she entered her entrance, she heard footsteps hurrying down the stairs leading to the basement.

Suisei caught her breath and fixed the black sword with both of her hands.

Now, it will not be easy to preoccupy an advantageous position as before.

‘… Actually, I didn’t have an advantage even for a moment.’

Except for the first surprise attack, Suisei’s attacks did not reach Ross.

If it had not been for Chae Hee-rin’s support, Suisei would have already been defeated by Ross’s counterattack.

Now that the battlefield has changed to indoors, it is clear that they will be at a disadvantage in many ways compared to fighting on the playground.

Because wielding a weapon indoors has many restrictions compared to outdoors.

In addition, it would be difficult to expect support from Chae Hee-rin.

But even so, Suisei began to slowly descend underground, wary of all directions.

Even if it means losing your life here, you must stop that man.

The man who caused such an uproar throughout Academia.

The final goal of such a man is heading to the basement of this clearing.

It was clear that this was no ordinary purpose. In the worst case, the whole of Academia might be devastated.

That would mean the defeat of mankind.

Academia is a greenhouse where resources to fight the Irregulars grow.

If that greenhouse is destroyed, there is no future left for mankind.

‘If I don’t block it-.’

Think about that.

As soon as he came down the stairs, Ross’ huge body attacked Suisei.

From noble mtl dot com

The reaction was like a flash.

I move my left foot half a step back and immediately swing the black sword horizontally.

A full-strength attack that barely touches the walls on either side.

Without a moment’s hesitation, that attack rushed straight towards Ross.

Ross dodges the sword attack by bending over as if clinging to the floor.

Under normal circumstances, the balance is lost and the posture is such that one collapses.

However, Ross bounced his body straight up and swung his fist at Suisei’s abdomen.

Suisei tried to somehow block the attack by twisting the hilt of his sword.

But that final resistance only slightly twisted the trajectory of his fists.

Suisei’s body, which had been struck in the abdomen, drooped with the sound of exhaling.

Despite the pain that seemed to make him lose his mind, Suisei tried to move his body somehow.

‘A little… More… Time.’

You can’t just collapse like this.

As someone born with the name of Kasuga, as Edelweiss’s vice president, as a future hero.

If I don’t endure even a little longer somehow-

Suisei faintly squeezed out his remaining strength and swung the black sword one last time.

However, Ross blocks the final attack by grabbing the blade.

As Ross’s thick arms strained, the black sword with the Kasuga family’s seal rolled across the floor with a clanking sound.

“Let’s finish here.”

“… Somehow… time… even a little…”

“There is a limit to what you can do with your mental power.”

Ross said and swung his fist.

With a heavy pain in the stomach, the world goes dark.

Even on the verge of losing his mind, Su Issey did not take his eyes off Ross.

So she could see.

Somewhere, a very bitter-looking man’s face.

After moving the fallen Suisei to an appropriate level, Ross checked her breathing.

It’s faint, but the breath is still attached.

It won’t be without damage, but with this city’s technology, you should be able to heal it right away.

‘…This isn’t the time to be sentimental.’

I’ve been waiting for this day for more than ten years.

Today is the time to put an end to the long revenge.

Kill Baek Chung-hwan and destroy the Cheongmyeong Foundation.

That’s how you put an end to your revenge,

And…

Ross stopped his thoughts and started running down his hallway.

The next thing is to think about it then.

Deceiving yourself like that.
