Episode 244. Modify the rabbit (6)
[Lightning Rush] acquired by Regé.
This is a passive skill that increases movement distance.
Objectively speaking, it’s not a bad skill. Rather, it’s on the good side of skills.
‘Heroes of the Academy’ is a tile-based SRPG game where you move from square to square.
There’s nothing better than increasing your character’s range of movement, which allows for more diverse gameplay.
In particular, it is a cheating skill if a tank gets it.
Because you can move and use defensive skills in an instant even when your allies are far away.
Reze’s position is not a tank, but a dealer. However, it is a skill that can be utilized sufficiently.
As I said before, increasing the movement distance is a good thing in SRPG games.
But why such a negative reaction?
‘What’s the point if we’re both in the same room anyway?’
Reze is a character with the characteristic of leaving the battlefield when attacked.
This is a character that can send enemies flying in one shot.
This means that there is no need for the character to run away or create distance after being attacked.
[Lightning Rush] for that character.
There is probably no skill more meaningless to Reze than this.
‘As the movement distance increases, you may be able to attack a little faster, but… … .’
As it progresses, it loses its meaning because of the ‘gimmick’.
A piece of demonic magic that must be moved out of the attack range before 3 stacks are accumulated.
Vines had to keep attacking to prevent all the lights of the inverted pentagram from turning on.
Demons with such gimmicks will appear in the future, but will Reze charge in alone and make the first move?
It was perfect for roasting rabbit.
‘If I had acquired an attack-related skill… … Reze’s active lifespan would have increased. Then I would have been able to use it sufficiently in the latter half of the game.’
however.
Parabarabam~!
Congratulations! Reze has evolved into ‘Slightly Fast Puffer Rabbit’!
-Rani. I ate glutinous rice cakes for a long time.
But contrary to my feelings.
“I didn’t expect you to realize it so quickly. You look fragile on the outside, but you’re actually a strong kid on the inside.”
“Good job, good job, good job~!”
Adonis and Luna were busy praising Regé.
“Ugh, euaaa… … .”
In the meantime, Reze, caught between them, was at a loss, holding both hands up awkwardly.
But one thing was certain.
‘… … You seem happy.’
The silly hair dancing happily on top of his head was proof of that fact.
‘Come to think of it, when the new excellent class was announced after the note test, Regé said something.’
-Something… something feels strange. Somewhere in my chest… it feels, tingly… it feels like it’s surging.
A sense of accomplishment.
The feeling you get when you achieve your goal after much hard work. And the joy that comes from being recognized.
I remembered Reje’s face, at a loss as he felt a sense of accomplishment for the first time.
Yes, now Reze was feeling a sense of accomplishment.
The second sense of accomplishment in my life.
‘Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
He scratched the back of his head and shook off his regret.
Because it’s not Reze’s fault for not getting good skills.
It’s not possible to change skills that have already been decided.
He approached them and clapped his hands.
“Haha, congratulations to both of you. It was tough training, but you held up well.”
“Huh! This is just gum.”
“Ma, that’s right. I can do it as much as I want. As long as you’re with Luna, Lou… … yea.”
Rejeya, the words behind me were as small as a cricket, so I couldn’t hear them.
Well, it wasn’t my business whether Luna listened or not.
“Zero, that’s disappointing. Are there no compliments for me?”
Twinkle twinkle-.
Adonis’ eyes sparkled.
Why are you being praised? I didn’t even gain any skills.
‘But I can’t say that.’
Because I am a good child who respects the elderly.
Just as I was about to thank Adonis, Luna interrupted, pushing my face away with her hand.
“What compliment? Why should Zero compliment you?”
“Didn’t you help me with my training? At least you should say thank you.”
“Huh~ Helping with training? I guess that wasn’t your pure intention?”
It was just as Luna said.
Adonis is currently looking for someone to take care of Victoria.
Training Luna and Reze was also part of an effort to win my favor.
‘That’s a sharp remark, not typical of Luna.’
Has our Luna finally begun to think? If so, I’ll praise her a lot.
Our daughter has grown up so much.
It was a time when I was wiping away my father’s tears in my heart.
“You’re saying this because you want to be my friend. Then why are you saying thank you?”
“… … What?”
“You were going to pretend to be kind and help me train, and then reach out to me to ask me to be your friend. If you thought I didn’t know about your sinister intentions, you were mistaken! I’m a very perceptive person!”
… … Luna, what on earth are you talking about?
Why is Adonis friends with you!?
Eating an old man and his friend. It was a novel and unfilial act that I had never heard of even in Korea.
“I think there’s some misunderstanding. It’s true that I tried to be nice to you, but that was only… … .”
“Yes, there must have been some misunderstanding. That’s why he tormented us as soon as he arrived. After he realized that he had misunderstood, he wanted to be friends with us. I know.”
“… … It seems like you don’t know anything?”
“No! Zero is so stupid that he could have easily fooled her, but not me! I’m a very perceptive woman!”
Did I age so quickly because I was so quick-witted? If so, it wouldn’t be strange for Adonis to eat my friend.
I guess I’ll be labeled an unfilial son.
“Friend… … Of course, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do. But the way you try to cover up your mistakes with just one helping is so disgusting. Pretending to do a favor while expecting something in return. That’s not how you can be a true friend!”
“… … .”
“If you want to be our friends, you have to try harder! That’s all!”
Ding-.
Adonis froze as hard as a stone. He seemed to have lost his wits and fainted.
‘It must have been quite a shock. I never imagined that Lenia’s daughter would be so noisy.’
I left the hardened Adonis outside the training grounds door.
When you come to your senses, you will move on your own.
It was time to move Adonis to a sunny place.
“You… What on earth have you done?”
It was Charon. The empire’s rat, bad ending maker, business partner, and lolicon.
He is a man who is active in many different fields.
“Haha, it’s nothing serious. It was just a minor accident.”
“Adonis fainted while standing up, and you say it was no big deal? You’re still as arrogant as ever.”
I’m sorry, but it wasn’t me who was really cocky, it was Luna. You’d be shocked if you heard what Luna did.
It was a time when I imagined Adonis and Charon, turned into stone, standing side by side.
“… … I heard that you are receiving instruction from Adonis. You are quite skilled.”
“Haha, isn’t this all thanks to my talent?”
“… … I see. That’s why you’re acting so arrogant. You don’t even know what crime you committed.”
Did I commit a sin?
Let’s see, what sins have I committed recently…
“Being handsome is a crime? Imperial law is truly fearsome.”
“Haha.”
Caron laughed. Normally, he would have grabbed my head and told me not to act so cocky.
Is something going on? Or is it true that I’m handsome, even from an objective perspective like Caron?
‘Yes, yes. No matter how ugly they are, they are still like that. How can a person look like a cockroach?’
I looked at Caron with a smile. Caron was still smiling. And very brightly.
“… … .”
Only then did I realize.
That Caron is under low pressure. And it’s serious.
“Isn’t there something we should talk about? For example… … about a magical sword?”
Oh, I forgot.
This is my first meeting with Charon since hiding the information about the Holy Sword.
Caron slowly opened his mouth, a smile spreading across his face.
“I was wondering if you could spare some time. I recently opened a new restaurant.”
New restaurant. I’m talking about the torture chamber.
Why do we keep adding torture chambers when having just one would be enough?
“Hehe, didn’t I tell you? I have a disease that kills me when I go to new restaurants.”
“It’s a disease that kills you when you go to a new restaurant… … It’s a problem that can be easily solved once you use it. Come visit tomorrow evening. It will have already been turned into an old restaurant by then.”
Yeah, that’s right. Because the restaurant would be soaked in someone else’s blood.
If it’s an old restaurant, then it’s an old restaurant.
“Haha, it became a run-down restaurant in just one day. It really is a restaurant with poor value for money.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll save the new equipment I just introduced for you.”
You’ve prepared a torture device for me. Should I be happy about that?
“They even researched a new food. A food that two people can eat and not know if one dies… No, food that kills both of them.”
If two people eat it and both die, what kind of food is that? It must be poison!
“Haha, actually, I have a disease that causes me to die if I eat new foods… … .”
Taaak!
My eyes flashed and I felt a sharp pain in my head.
Charon grabbed my head.
“There is a limit to hiding information. Hiding that information? Are you in your right mind?”
“I didn’t answer because you didn’t ask. If you had asked me, ‘Do you have the Holy Sword?’, I would have told you right away.”
“… … .”
Taaak!
Again, my eyes flashed. How could you hit such a cute child like me?
There was no separate child abuser.
“Don’t get me wrong, I actually have a disease that makes me beat up bratty kids. So this isn’t child abuse. It’s a disease that’s developing.”
“Where in the world is there such a disease!”
“Then how can you get sick from going to a new restaurant or from eating new food? When you were born, everything must have been new to you, so how are you still alive?”
Refutation!
It was great logic. The problem is that I was refuted.
He raised his arms and took a defensive stance.
“Block it? Isn’t that your body?”
Caron started feeding the chestnuts with both hands.
Oh my god! He’s a real child abuser!
It was a time when I was being beaten so recklessly.
“… … Next time, tell me first.”
“yes?”
“It means don’t let other people know your secrets.”
Hmm… … Something about the tone felt strange.
He didn’t blame me for hiding the information.
It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with hiding the Holy Sword, but rather that I revealed it to Adonis first.
‘Surely… …Are you jealous?’
Ah, that can’t be. Charon is a murder tank with no emotions.
If you don’t know sadness or joy, you can’t possibly feel jealousy.
“Anyway, from now on, always tell me first. Do you understand?”
“Haha, I’ll try my best.”
“… … .”
Caron raised his fist.
“Of course, Mr. Caron is number one. Aren’t we business partners? Hehehe!”
Only then did Caron lower his fist.
A disease that causes you to beat up an impudent child. It’s a truly scary disease.
“Is there any new information?”
“It’s nothing special, but… … it seems that Adonis has noticed Miss Luna’s presence.”
“… … It’s not a big deal, but it seems like a big deal.”
“It wasn’t a negative reaction. How about we talk about it?”
Charon turned his gaze towards Adonis, who was frozen.
Adonis seemed to be thinking whether he was an ally or not.
“Hehe, if you could give me a little hint, I might be able to try it out for you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I mean, the relationship between Mr. Caron and the Leicester family. If you could just tell me that, I think I can look into it.”
“… … .”
“Please stop talking now. For the sake of cute Luna. Hehehe!”
Caron kept his mouth shut.
He hovered around Caron and put pressure on him.
What is it, what is it? Huh? What are you hiding?
How delicious a story must it be that you hide it like this?
“……ha.”
Taaak!
Caron’s answer was simple.
Creating another bump on my head with a sigh.
It was when I was rubbing the lumps on my head.
Knock knock-.
Luna opened the training ground door and came out.
“Huh? What are you doing here?”
“Haha, I heard that Mr. Caron opened a restaurant. A teacher with a side job? There’s a serious problem with his attitude as an educator… … .”
“A new restaurant? I want to go there. No, let’s have a party there. A party to celebrate our strength!”
Well… there will be a party.
That’s the problem, because it’s a party that will be stained with our blood and flesh.
“Haha, I’m looking forward to it. Isn’t it?”
But my words did not reach Charon.
Charon was already running away, with Adonis, who was as hard as stone, at his side.
* * *
An old cathedral in the Carpathians. An old woman was praying with her head buried in the ground.
“Kill me, please.”
Not only did they harass and frame families, but they also enjoyed humiliating and killing them… … No, they were worse than that.
“Please kill me. I have completed the mission you gave me… … .”
The mysterious power that protected Carpathia. The old woman succeeded in destroying that mystery.
It was hard, but I did it. I gained strength through the deal with the devil.
Of course, the price was a body part and the rest of his life.
The moment when the old woman has one minute left to live.
A woman appeared there.
It was a woman full of the air of death. She was wearing a black dress.
“Don’t be sad. We will carry out your will.”
“Oh, ohhh… … .”
At the touch of the woman’s hand, the old woman’s body turned into a small tree.
A tree as black as pitch.
This tree will gradually grow by sucking the life from its surroundings.
Until it is fully rooted.
“… …Venezus, don’t be sad.”
Yes. The identity of the woman in the black dress.
It was Lizvelt, one of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Mother of the Ministry.
“Baby, I will throw you the best funeral.”
Yeah, this isn’t about starting a war.
It is a great disrespect to them to refer to it with such a lowly word as war.
Yes, this is a funeral for Viness, and a memorial service for the old woman.
It was the moment when the Carpathian invasion began.
