I Got the Worst Skill in the Academy - Chapter 148
148 – Forest Company (5)
After that, they went to their respective tents and went to sleep with only magic and tools installed to guard the surroundings.
Of course, of course, but I couldn’t sleep properly.
All day long, I had my eyes open, resting my forehead on my forehead.
‘I was just full of thoughts about why I did that.’
I was ashamed.
It was really embarrassing to bring out the true feelings that were buried deep in the heart, shaken by her words, and to show a weak side.
‘I thought I would be shaken by Kang Ah-rang, not by anyone else.’
If the opponent was one, it might have been okay. As much as we’ve known each other for a long time, we’ve prepared the most for her in our hearts.
No, it wouldn’t be a problem if it were other kids. From someone I never thought of… Maybe it’s because I heard something I didn’t expect.
‘After thinking about all of that… ‘
Confession of Kang Ah-rang.
A girl who was looking at herself while hugging her knees.
The opposite of the usual unpretentious and confident heroine.
To be honest… It shook greatly.
‘Well… It must have been possessed.’
Yes. must have been possessed
The condition of being alone, late at night, and the environment of being in the heat of a bonfire must have distracted them for a while.
well, so how is it now?
“… … ”
“… … ”
They kept their distance from each other and walked without saying a word.
Looking to the side, I saw Kang A-rang, who looked tired as if he had stayed up all night with his eyes open just like me.
But enough to ignore all of that, the blushing face was impressive.
However, I couldn’t be so awkward like this forever.
He let out a few coughs and opened his mouth slowly.
“… Soon we will enter the heartland… let’s relax From here on, the enemy quality is different… ”
“uh… yes.”
silence again.
[The observer message is very satisfied with this, saying it is a delicious delicacy]
‘… Don’t enjoy it, help me. A little… ‘
We didn’t say anything to each other for more than 30 minutes and just walked in silence.
●
“… Isn’t something a little strange?”
“Yeah… ”
We moved for over an hour and were not attacked.
I was afraid of yesterday’s battle and wanted to hide it, so I widened the detection range and checked the minimap periodically…
‘I can’t see a single ant.’
An empty forest.
The deeper I go into the heart, the less I see… It was as clean as if someone had done weeding.
“Yoo Siu. Are there no more enemies the deeper you go?”
“That can’t be the case, there were countless of them until yesterday’s sylphian dwelling. Nothing special here either. The picky and strong guys have to come out.”
Kang A-rang, frowning and worrying about the words. But he shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
“Well, it’s good that we’re comfortable. So until when… Oh wait.”
She stopped talking and stared straight ahead with her eyes narrowed.
“… Yushiu, isn’t that what you said?”
I naturally shifted my gaze to the slightly excited pointing gesture.
A farmland-like place appeared with piles of dirt piled up everywhere.
“Yes, we have finally arrived.”
Apart from the situation, fortunately, the destination was the original.
Looking around, I saw root plants quivering deep in the ground.
Even the red cornelian-like fruits on the leaves were telling us that it was definitely a mandragora.
‘There are more numbers than I thought. If I dig up all of these, I’ll be able to make many elixirs as well as an antidote.’
It wasn’t bad to sell one or two and keep them salty for money.
‘First of all, I should give it to Namgung-rin as a token of gratitude. In addition, I have to make something to give to the kids.’
As I reached that point, I naturally looked at Kang A-rang.
She burst into admiration and muttered, “This is him.”
Naturally, the conversation we had yesterday came to mind.
‘… Considering her constitution and potential, even if she completely absorbed one of them, she would become noticeably stronger.’
‘I’ll hand over Mi-hyang and Erin when we meet later… There’s no need for protection. One might be poisonous to the body because of its lack of potential, but… Let’s try at least once.’
Let’s spread our happy imagination, Ms.
[The observer’s message says to make sure to take rice cakes first before drinking kimchi soup.]
‘Yes. I need to take care of it first.’
I rummaged through my clothes and took out the items I had prepared for this occasion.
“Take this with Kanga.”
When she threw it, she caught it with her hand. When I opened it up to check it, he made a puzzled expression.
“What is it, earplugs?”
“If you pick these guys, you’ll lose money! You know what I’m screaming at? If you just listen to it, you’ll burn seven balls, so if you don’t want to die while shedding blood, put it in. I’ll send you a chat, so let’s check it out.”
‘Then, the next thing I need is a storage box to completely imprison these guys.’
I took out an iron box airlifted from Mir. Kang A-rang, who looks at him as if he is curious.
‘Okay, let’s start.’
I put my hands together and focused my consciousness on the triple helix.
A cold chill wafted around me, and ice crystals began to form on the tips of my fingers.
The cold attribute is granted by [Feature <Endow>! Temporarily increases physical strength and ability by 5!]
I gathered my energy and compressed it into my hand. It was dyed blue and both arms were strengthened. Just like a mole, he dug into the ground and dug up a mound of dirt.
Before long, he vigorously pulled out the round torso that could be grasped with his hands.
“… Kick?”
Once on the ground, Mandragora looked around with an ugly face.
He stayed still for a while, frowning and opening his mouth to scream.
However, the cold air that spread at high speed made it harden as it was.
A small name was seeping out like a run-down cola.
[Mandragora is affected by abnormal status: Freezing.]
[The power of the death cry is greatly reduced.]
-Arang Kang: Can I freeze it just like that for a second? Doesn’t it rot?-
-Yoo Si-woo: That’s when it’s completely frozen, and it doesn’t matter much if it’s hardened to the point where you can’t move.-
‘Now I have to seal it well with plastic wrap and put it in a box.’
As I hurriedly proceeded, I felt a hand touching me.
When I turned my gaze, I saw Kang Ah-rang, who was waiting, as if ‘what am I going to do now?’.
‘Well… It’s useless.’
I can help with carrying it, but why?
In the first place, there was nothing to ask of her, who could not handle attributes and had no manual dexterity in this regard.
‘I think it’ll just be a hindrance.’
A conclusion reached after thought.
I nodded and pressed the key on my phone.
Kang A-rang, whose eyes are shining with anticipation.
-Yoo Si-woo: I’m eating popcorn in the corner.-
“… … ”
Looking at the screen, she was stunned with only a depressed face.
●
After about an hour, more than half of the Mandragora field was seen.
He touched his bent waist and stretched it out.
An iron box that is about to explode. The trapped Mandragora were wriggling as if they were frustrated.
‘This should be fine.’
I put the full box in and took out a new storage box.
The moment I moved my hand to dig again, I saw Kang Ah-rang, who had been clumsy in the corner, hurriedly get up and shout something.
Soon after, she comes running.
‘What, why are you suddenly like that… ?’
[Observer’s message is a surprise! says.]
“!”
Upon concentrating, I sensed the subtle living beings flowing through the air.
I turned around right away.
A huge, green sword was approaching in a straight line.
Chew! Immediately, I saw Kang A-rang standing in front of me, and hurriedly striking down the spear I had lifted while catching my breath.
Kagagak! The two blows collided with each other.
However, Kang Ah-rang, who was unable to gather the proper strength due to his urgent response, was caught in the attack and bounced back.
“With Kanga!”
[Observer message Yang says that he can’t afford to take care of it, so hurry up and prepare for a response!]
Immediately after speaking, he kicked his body backwards quickly. bang! With a sound, the greatsword was struck at the spot where it had been just before.
Perhaps a little surprised by his dodging, he turned his head around and stared at it.
“… … ”
Like a knight in the Middle Ages, he wore a helmet and full body armor.
A glimmering eye could be seen between the grooves.
[The ruler of the garden – Greendead appears!]
[This existence appeared due to an unknown error!]
[I have the power to escape reason!]
As soon as I saw it, I could understand.
‘This guy.’
The strange species that Namgung-rin told me to be so careful with. It must have been.
This feeling, this feeling.
‘Raid boss.’
He pulled out the earplugs from his ears and threw them on the floor. Then, a grotesque noise echoed in my ears.
The rusted joints of the armor were rubbing against each other, causing a roar.
No matter how long it had been, the spread of moss made me feel like a swordsman possessed by a specter rather than a living being.
“Crukreuk… ”
Perhaps feeling that it was not formidable, he raised the greatsword in his right hand over his shoulder and lowered his body.
Tension ran through his whole body in the posture of an animal.
We looked at each other for a while. Eventually, they all moved at the same time, regardless of who came first.
