Episode 178 Message Test (17)

Liquid-!!

The wooden sword held at an angle tore through the air.

It’s a horrifying sound, even to me.

Schlissel.

This is his third original secret that he imitated with [Imitation of God] at the request of Dyke a little while ago.

Hold the sword hilt firmly with both hands and thrust it forward at chest height.

‘The fastest stabbing technique.’

Schlichel also has the meaning of ‘key’, so you can roughly guess what the action is.

The reason I chose stabbing as my secret weapon.

This is because I realized something while sparring with Lucia.

‘Stab attacks are the most difficult to deal with.’

Slashes and slashes are relatively easy to block.

Not only is the movement large, but it is also possible to block the opponent’s attack to some extent just by placing the sword in the path.

But stabbing is not like that.

The acceleration while running is also scary.

‘It’s a dot-shaped attack aimed at one point.’

Blocking the sharp, thin tip of a sword is incredibly difficult.

This is even more true if what you are holding is a thin weapon like a ‘sword’.

Blocking an incoming attack with a sword with the sole intention of making a hole in my body?

It’s impossible. Before you can block it, somewhere in your body will be pierced.

‘Even if you’re lucky enough to be in a good position to block it, it will bounce off and leave a hole in one part of your body.’

Of course, someone with skills like Lucia might be able to do it.

In fact, there were a few times when he blocked my thrusts in sparring.

But the situation is very different from then.

Currently, Lucia is angry at the fact that she was deceived and is rushing towards her.

And my stab is not a normal stab, but a special attack that boasts the highest attack power among Dyke’s special attacks.

‘It would be impossible to stop the stabbing in this situation!’

There are two options left for Lucia.

To confront or avoid.

But what I’ve cast now is a secret technique that Lucia has never seen before.

I won’t be hasty in thinking of stabbing you.

In other words, Lucia will choose to avoid it.

‘Catch up in the direction they fled and finish them off with a single strike!’

My posture collapsed as I was forced to avoid being stabbed.

What if you face [Ilseom] head-on in that position?

It will be difficult to stop it with the power of a 6-star knight.

Lucia’s shaking eyes are visible.

This means that everything is going well as planned.

‘Is it left or right? Go ahead and make your choice.’

The smaller the distance, the more destructive power of [Ilsum] will be doubled.

It was a time when I was concentrating all my attention on Lucia’s movements.

however.

Wow!!

“… … !!”

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.

It wasn’t because of a spark that flew out for a moment.

‘You stopped this!?’

Yes. The stabbing in my spleen was blocked.

Currently, Lucia is laying the wooden sword horizontally and holding the blade firmly with her left hand.

And the tip of my wooden sword was trembling as it touched the center of Lucia’s wooden sword.

Block a stab aimed at one point with the sword.

Lucia accomplished the impossible.

‘This damn monster… … !’

Lucia’s wooden sword, with its iron core slightly exposed due to impact. Behind him, Lucia’s eyes shone brightly.

The reason why people don’t often use this powerful and hard-to-block stab.

This is because of the fatal problem of stabbing, which is that there are many gaps after a failed attack.

Boom!

Lucia lightly struck away my wooden sword and stabbed it in a straight line.

A movement so clean that it feels beautiful.

I quickly rolled on the ground and dodged the attack.

Rolling around -.

A dodge as clean as Lucia’s moves.

Does that mean he admits that? Lucia whistled lightly.

“Huh~ Anyway, in moments of crisis, you’re quicker than anyone else.”

“Hehe, I guess Lucia looks beautiful too, right?”

“no. It was messy. Did it move like a cockroach? Oh, of course it’s a compliment. “That is also a very high praise.”

Lucia raised both hands above her head and lightly placed the wooden sword with its iron core exposed behind her neck.

“It’s a shame. The sword was light. “If it had been a great sword, I don’t think I could have stopped it.”

“… … .”

Yes. Dyke’s weapon is a great sword, while mine is an ordinary double-edged sword.

However, I do not believe that the operation failed because of the differences.

If he had brought a great sword to make this operation successful in the first place, he would not have been able to fight properly due to proficiency issues, and the speed of [Slash] and [Sky Cleave] would have been greatly different.

‘It would have aroused Lucia’s suspicion before that.’

If I had brought a greatsword that I don’t normally use, Lucia would have been on guard and I wouldn’t have been able to come this far.

So, it is difficult to say that my strategy failed simply due to the difference in weapons.

More than anything.

‘How many pieces of groundbait have I laid so far!’

He made Lucia take a step back using the [Fleur family style] posture he used during personal training.

Inducing anger, using Dyke’s hidden secret weapon.

In addition, they even used psychological warfare using the [Open Eyes] skill.

‘I did not use the eye-opening skill this time.’

When I first met Lucia, when we sparred for a month, and even during this 5-minute fight.

When using secret techniques, I always used the [Open Eyes] skill.

There is also an intention to make the other person nervous or embarrassed.

‘Every time Zero uses his secret weapon, his eyes open.’

I learned it. Right now, for this moment.

however… … .

‘Even though I didn’t open my eyes when using Schlichel, I noticed it was a secret.’

Yes. The reason this operation failed was purely because Lucia was strong.

Beyond my imagination.

“… … Hehe, you really have no mercy. “Can’t you please take a look?”

“Huh~? What~? Is it because it is the word of the weak? “Can’t you hear anything at all?”

“The way you do your best for the weak. It looks very nice. “You are a model for the empire, a model.”

“You didn’t do your best at all? “I’m only using the power of a 6-star knight!”

“hmm? Can you hear me? “Then I guess I’m not a weakling.”

“… … Anyway, I have to figure out how to crush that tongue.”

Lucia grumbled.

Although my tone of voice is calm, I am currently in a state of anger on the inside.

‘This damn shit game!’

I’ve shown you enough! How on earth can I get recognition!

There is no path to victory or breakthrough in sight.

Is this really a quest made to wake you up?

“stop. “The test ends here.”

While I was venting my anger inside, Charon appeared near us.

“I wasted too much time. “There is also a test for the next group, so we will end it here.”

The end? Does this mean the quest ends in vain like this?

“… … “What is my score?”

“I hate to admit it, but I will give you full marks. “It’s surprising that he was able to stand alone against a 6-star knight, but he brought his strength to the limit of a 6-star knight.”

“no it’s not? “You only used the power to reach 6 stars?”

“Now you don’t even know how much power you used? “You look old.”

“Who, who is the lady!”

“… … “I don’t remember saying that.”

Lucia jumped on Charon’s shoulder and ripped his hair out.

It was quite a sight to behold, but not for me right now.

“I cannot admit it.”

“Are you saying you’re not satisfied with this much? “You are too greedy.”

“Okay, why don’t you just give up? This is an incredibly good job. “They say the score is perfect.”

“Giving up is also courage. “Anyone who doesn’t know the line is just an idiot.”

… … Give up?

Suddenly, life on Earth came to mind.

A life that started as an orphan. From then on, life for me was a series of giving up.

From the time I was an elementary school student when it was difficult to buy even a snack, to the time when I was a middle school and high school student when it was difficult to get even a book I wanted to read.

My life as a college student ended while I was studying to get a scholarship and working part-time to earn living expenses.

A world called society that has finally been reached after much hardship.

But it was too easy to give up there.

All this time I haven’t given up.

‘It’s just one game.’

I came across “Academy Hero” by chance when I was in elementary school.

This game… … No, there was only this world.

So you can’t give up. At least as much as this world I love.

I never wanted to give up.

“Please take me down instead.”

“Is there really a reason to do that?”

“Hehe, aren’t you able to proceed with the next exam? “I think that alone is reason enough to take me down, right?”

Lucia was scratching her head as if she was annoyed.

Soon she shook her head.

“Ugh, okay. Instead, there is no need to say anything because it hurts.”

The fight with Lucia began again.

Swing, block, use tricks, use tricks.

Lucia blocks my attack very easily.

Pow!

Lucia’s wooden sword touched my body.

sick. I want to lie down right now and say, ‘The teacher is hitting someone.’

But I can’t fall down like this.

“Are you going to do more? “I can’t watch it anymore.”

“… … Hehe, that’s what I hope.”

“Don’t regret it.”

The wooden sword continued to hit my body.

I tried my best to avoid fatal injuries.

If you hit one spot correctly, Charon will stop the test, saying you will die instantly.

Pow!

It’s a monster.

Secret prayers, artifacts, psychological warfare, tricks, and even the knowledge of the deceased that he was so proud of.

Nothing works.

Effort is denied.

The time I have spent so far, everything I have accumulated.

It feels like the world is whispering that it was meaningless.

-Yes, effort does not always result in good results. Instead, more often than not, they laugh at me and betray me.

Is it because my physical strength is low or because my mental strength is exhausted? Or is it because Lucia is beating me up?

I hear a voice.

-The world does not revolve around you. But someone is watching you closely. Isn’t that enough to live in this world?

Although it was my first time hearing the voice, I knew immediately who it was.

This is a line from ‘them’.

I’ve seen their lines so many times that I know the last sentence just from the first sentence.

-The opportunity does not end with this one time. Repetition of failure and success. Isn’t that what life is?

With those who were called heroes in the game.

Those who met the end without becoming heroes in the end.

The cries of heroes that only I know, who sacrificed themselves in places no one knows about.

It breaks into pieces and swirls around my ears.

Wow-.

I straightened my sword and stood up straight.

Yeah, what’s wrong with failing? It’s not a quest that kills you if you fail in the first place.

Hidden pieces and quests that I saw for the first time.

Maybe it was my greed that made me want to break it from the beginning.

‘If it’s a failure, I’ve tried it dozens, hundreds, thousands of times!’

Yes, I know.

Everything I thought was a failure.

These are the pieces that lead to success.

This game is true to that fact.

This damn world.

It’s you guys.

‘You told me!’

So to me.

Don’t you dare urge me to give up!

“Haaaaaaaaa!!”

Taaagh-!!

A sound so pure that it feels empty.

The wooden sword I struck vertically was touching Lucia’s wooden sword.

A simple swing.

A blow that wasn’t even worth blocking.

But why? Lucia was smiling softly behind her wooden sword.

Soon, Lucia and Charon’s mouths opened at the same time.

“pass.”

“… … “I passed.”

Words whose English is unknown.

At the same time, several information windows appeared before my eyes.
