I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 437
437 – A Little Early Coming of Age Day #1
From noble mtl dot come
437 – Coming of Age Day a little early # 1
What should I do first after returning from underground to above ground?
Of course it’s a report.
I am reporting in detail about where and what I experienced.
Originally, this should have been carried out calmly in the small conference room of the student council.
In the second semester, thanks to the increasingly advanced magic engineering, it was a bit troublesome to see cameras made of magic crystals being installed here and there.
“Standby.”
Daily Rumor, a newspaper reporter preparing for broadcast with skill.
At the same time he made the 3, 2, 1 gesture with his fingers, student council president Victorica opened her mouth.
“Then, let’s begin the post-processing report on the Tartarus raid and Orca subjugation. First, subjugating Orca—.”
Victorica is a skilled person.
Even though I know that this broadcast is being broadcast to key points in all kingdoms beyond Ludens, I can announce what I thought in advance like an announcer without missing a single word.
That guy was my fiancé.
In many ways, my heart cannot help but become grand.
“Well, that’s the end of the announcement about Orca subjugation. All that remains now is a report on Tartarus. “This will be done not by me, but by student Victor, who was the party leader of the investigation team.”
Is it my turn already?
I took the documents I had prepared in advance.
If you just look at this and recite it line by line, the presentation won’t be difficult.
“Fighting.”
Nike cheered me on with a small fist clenched out of the camera’s view.
Enio also laughs as if it’s fun, saying, “It’s the day that Victor-kun is sent to the whole world.”
“Hmm.”
I cleared my throat lightly.
As a signal, all cameras turn towards me.
Dazzling reflected light.
The magic crystal lens of the camera.
In a situation where everything was spreading dizzyingly, I opened my mouth.
“Under this island of entertainment and learning, Ludens, there exists a prison called Tartarus. It is a place where gods and demons have been defeated by the gods called the Seven Lords are imprisoned. We are…”
I stopped reading along the letters written on the paper.
At an important moment like now, wouldn’t it be a bit wrong to just follow the script written on paper?
Slurp-.
Fold the script.
Then Nike, Daily, and Enio’s gazes were seen shaking slightly uneasily.
But I felt more relieved.
A life of reading along lines written on paper.
I’m tired of being a game NPC who has to memorize only the set script.
“On the 40th floor of Tartarus, there is a city called Pandemonium. There are all kinds of people living there, and even a race of imps roam around.”
“… !”
Victoria’s eyes widen.
This is because the underground city of Pandemonium was intentionally left out of the script for today’s presentation. I can’t help but be surprised that I’m revealing it as I please.
But once my mouth was opened, there was no resistance.
“We found traces of the old king Gilgamesh in Tartarus. And I also met a man who received support from him. This “Divine Sword – Marduk” Is the proof.”
Clap-.
I lifted the old sword sheath.
Then, Midas, the general principal of Ludens Academy, who was looking at this scene, coughed and asked, sweat glistening on his half-naked forehead.
“The divine sword Marduk, is that really true? There was a treasure in the basement that was said to have been lost. Just that alone would be enough to buy an entire small city!”
“In addition to this sword, there are a lot of valuable treasures piled up in the basement.”
A treasure of great value.
The expressions on the faces of the people around them clearly brightened upon the announcement that such a thing existed underground in Ludens.
He must have smelled a quick win.
“But the road to Pandemonium is blocked by all kinds of monsters and evil spirits. Their threat level averages 80. That means there are plenty of monsters that rival Beowulf.”
Beowulf’s strength.
It was something that countless people gathered at the stadium would have seen with their own eyes.
People here and there started opening their mouths and holding out their microphones to me, perhaps because they were surprised that such monsters were lurking underground.
“Won’t the monsters escape outside?”
“How many monsters are there, and what are their specific names and weaknesses?”
“Tell me a little more about that city called Pandemonium… ! Uh… , Such as the city administrative system… !”
Countless questions poured out.
It’s like a sudden shower.
It was a moment when I felt a bit dizzy.
The flash of a flashing camera.
As I received it, I felt a story sticking out like an awl in my heart.
“This world is a game.”
I said.
The mouths of the people who had been asking a lot of questions up until now stop one by one.
I took advantage of the growing silence to add something.
“A well-made but sloppy game. We are part of the game. This is not an idiom because this island is an island of entertainment. Because this world is really a game.”
How will people receive my story?
You can just dismiss it as a strange sound, but some people will listen to it seriously.
But what they thought was of no concern to me.
“I intend to finish this long repetitive game. With that, we will escape from the game-like life and move toward a truly meaningful tomorrow.”
It was a story about a problem I had been suffering from for a long time.
I felt a little relieved that I could finally share it with everyone.
“Therefore, I will challenge Cain Arkwright, the owner of the crown.”
I declared my plan.
I felt like all the things I had planned since the first semester were coming together in one place.
* * *
“Hey, Victor! How can you say so many things that were not planned? “Aren’t you just confusing people for no reason?”
After the presentation.
Victorica came closer to me and touched my side her her with her finger her her her.
He looks full of dissatisfaction.
It looks as if it has two large grumpy sacs on its body.
I said.
“Everyone has the right to know what will happen in the future.”
Most people in this world were NPCs.
But that won’t be the case starting today.
Zek-.
Then someone came up to me.
He was a boy with messy brown hair.
“Are you Luke?”
“I listened to the presentation carefully. “I heard you met your teacher in a place called Tartarus?”
“Okay. “It wasn’t my intention at all, but it happened that way.”
Luke was my father Avon’s disciple and adoptive son.
The reason why this country bumpkin ventured into the world was because he was excited by all the legends, myths, and heroic stories he heard from Avon.
“It’s a basement full of monsters. You were in a place like that. I want to meet you. There may be limits to my current skills. “I want to gather party members and take on the challenge. “What do you think?”
Luke asked me.
Perhaps this guy also has a ‘new goal’.
People who have goals tend to develop.
“You can do whatever you want. There is no such thing as a set path anymore.”
A life without a main story or choices.
Freedom like a vast open sea.
Wherever you row, whether you spread your sails and laze around in the flowing wind, it’s all your choice. Of course, I decided to lightly cheer on Luke, who decided to take on a new challenge.
“Avon hasn’t forgotten you. He seemed to fondly remember the time you, Yumi, and Clarice spent together in the village. As for the rest, let’s meet in person and talk about it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Luke grins, showing his white teeth.
Seeing this guy begin to take on challenges and burn his will he gave me great courage.
Someone will have a dream about the facts I revealed today.
Dreams are like firewood, they make people’s lives burn hot.
That heat will be the driving force to go beyond the ending tomorrow.
It was when I was thinking like that.
“What are you doing?”
Victorica frowned.
Probably because strangers approached me.
The number is three.
I slowly looked at their familiar yet unfamiliar aspects.
A lance knight wearing full body golden armor.
One female wizard with red skin and a veil.
And there is one man in a suit with greasy, greasy-looking hair and glasses.
「Lv.70 Dragon Knight – Drago Keeper
HP: 200/200″
「Lv.71 Sun Wizard – Agni Rigveda
HP: 152/152″
「Lv.70 Sword Master – Dane
HP: 170/170″
If I were to describe their information, it would feel like this.
These were the Royal Guard.
Three knights chose from the royal palace.
They are also called the Three Knights, and they were unable to even react to Cain Arclight, who had previously taken the crown, and retired after receiving serious injuries.
“It looks like he was still in Ludens.”
I asked.
Then, their leader, the Dragon Knight, flashes his golden helmet and speaks.
“The Royal Guard is with the crown. Since Cain is here, we can’t leave here yet. So, that sword you got.”
“Are you talking about Marduk?”
I held out the old iron sword to the dragon knight.
After receiving the sword from me, he looked around with a skill that seemed quite skillful.
Soon, Agni Rig Veda, a passionate flame wizard with red skin and red hair, found something in the open book and pointed it with his finger.
“Here, it’s exactly like the sword depicted in the illustration depicting King Gilgamesh! Also, the five stars of creation are depicted on the pommel! It’s definitely authentic! Although it is old!”
Then Sword Master Dane raises her glasses and says something.
“I never thought there would have been an adopted son who was given a sword by the old king. It seems like it will cause quite a stir in the historical society of the mainland royal palace. But that’s probably not what’s important now.”
Clap-.
Sword Master – Dane placed his hand on his treasured sword
It looks like it’s going to cut me down at any moment.
“What are you doing by suddenly appearing?”
Victorica gets angry.
However, Dane, who is called the Sword Master in the kingdom, simply explains calmly.
“The purpose of the Royal Guard’s existence is to protect the king. Cain Arkwright. The circumstances of how he came into possession of the crown are very unsavory, but the fact that he is the current holder of the crown remains unchanged—.”
Slurring-.
Dane pulled out his sword.
“Young star, dragon slayer, dragon slayer Slayer Viktor. We will test your qualifications according to the protocol.”
That’s really what happened.
It went well.
I also wanted to test out my newly acquired skills, but I didn’t have a suitable opponent.
So, just when he was about to feel better, Dane put his sword back.
“However, if you are a swordsman who has reached a certain level, you will be able to know his skills without even having to face the sword in person. Victor, I don’t think we can beat you even if we all come at you.”
Does this mean they acknowledge the difference in skill between me and them?
The long and short of it is a story that needs to be seen.
But it was nice to be able to avoid annoying fights.
At that time, Agni, her flame wizard, the witch of passion, and the witch who is active as her model in her royal palace, says, “Ah,” And clutches her own chest.
Drago asks through her helmet.
“Why are you doing that?”
“No, because the strap on her underwear suddenly broke. What? Is it because my breasts got bigger without me realizing it? It was perfect until this morning.”
It was a time when everyone was tilting their heads as if feeling puzzled.
Only Victoria grew slightly and pinched my side.
“You!”
“What am I doing?”
As I shrugged my shoulders as if I knew nothing, Drago the Dragon Knight returned Marduk to me and said.
“We will determine the date, time and location of the confrontation with Cain and notify you in accordance with our standards. Perhaps the entire kingdom beyond Ludens, or even the great gods, will be watching.”
