The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 51
Only Krnovel
It was said to be easy. It felt much easier than the rumor that even ants are vicious. Now, even that kind of thinking has become a flag.
“Are your eyes strange? “I see a monster in front of the lighthouse.”
“It’s normal. “That thing is real.”
I tried hard to deny reality, but I heard a voice forcibly pulling me back to my senses. Even a lame joke didn’t lighten the mood.
While returning to the lighthouse, he hid in the nearby bushes due to Lera’s sudden words. And then I discovered a huge monster wandering in front of the lighthouse.
Abnormally developed upper body and long body. Two huge horns protruding from the head.
He’s sweeping the yard with his head on the ground in front of the lighthouse.
“What is that?”
“… … It looks like a monster called a ‘hell rhinoceros.’”
“Is that a cow? No matter how I look at it, it looks like a reptile.”
I instinctively refuted Lera’s words. It doesn’t look like the mammal we usually think of. What it’s wearing is a complete exoskeleton.
It was a hard body that didn’t seem to have any scratches on the blades. That guy even has six eyes.
“So what do you think you’re doing?”
Everyone knows the monsters that appear in the game. That’s just information for strategy purposes, like names and weaknesses. I don’t know their behavior patterns or habits.
That guy is something I’ve never even seen in a game. Come to think of it, that guy’s name was on the monster distribution map handed to me by the guide.
Monsters that live in Area D, not Area A. I vaguely asked Lera, who seemed to know more than me.
Lera’s eyes turned cold at my question.
“smoking… … “It’s like taking charge of a bird.”
“smell? Oh, then it smells like blood?”
A swarm of ants returning from hunting for food. They chased me, who was covered in pheromones, and eventually reached the lighthouse, where they slaughtered me.
They were sucked into the ground before they could even feel their antennae. Of course, the smell of blood is everywhere. It looks like he was chasing it.
“What are your weaknesses?”
“It’s a water attribute. It’s strong against earth attributes.”
“It’s difficult.”
Since I don’t have abilities like Bereninche, I have no affinity for water. My resistance is excellent, but I have no means of attacking.
Then I felt something strange.
“Water is a weakness?”
“yes.”
“But there’s poison fog, and you’re still walking around well?”
“uh…….”
Lera became dumbfounded as if she hadn’t thought about it. What’s the use of scolding a first-year student?
Anyway, this guy is talking about knowledge learned through books, not experience. There are always exceptions.
Just by looking at it, it looks very aggressive. I’ll have to fight to save those trapped inside and get my loot.
“Is there a way to communicate without being detected?”
“… … I don’t think there is any.”
“Telepathy between twins. Is something like that not possible?”
“… … Yes. I’m sorry.”
What are you apologizing for? I wanted to fill up the cooldown of Lightning Wedge, even if it wasn’t perfect.
The remaining time is approximately 20 minutes. Until then, it’s best to take a break and plan a strategy before dealing with the opponent. Until that time, the lighthouse must not provoke that guy.
Seeing as he has stayed quiet so far, it seems to be okay. I am holding my breath because I think it is a force that cannot be dealt with all at once.
It’s not bad.
“Decoy?”
“You want me to do it?”
“… … Ah. No.”
When I asked her to come up with a strategy, Lera carefully blurted out one. I looked at him with a puzzled face. Who lures that?
She shook her head hastily. I guess I could do it if I was asked to, but why would I have to? was the first thought that came to mind.
They are not my close friends anyway, and there is no reason to save them. It is a shame to waste their feelers, but they can be taken care of naturally when the rescue team comes.
“Is there nothing to do but wait?”
“yes?”
“Rescue team. Because I said I would call you. “How long have you been here?”
“I think it’s been about 8 hours.”
“It would take about 3 hours at most. That wouldn’t be bad.”
Lera nodded as well. In a place where safety is the top priority, no other solution could come to mind.
At the point where Lera agreed, I chose to climb the tree. The bugs here are all poisonous, so it’s dangerous to stay in one place for too long.
At least a place like the top of a tree is safe, so let’s spend 3 hours there.
“Excuse me. Can you lift me up?”
I gladly accepted Lera’s request. She threw it straight up, supporting her thighs and back. Lera hung gently on the tree with her cat-like movements.
I also carefully climbed the tree and landed on the opposite branch. Lera used earth magic to pull hard dirt onto the tree branch.
Thanks to this, the sitting area was wider, so I was able to sit much more comfortably. In this respect, the earth property is really good.
“Get some rest. I’ll wake you up if anything happens.”
“… … I’m fine.”
“It’s okay.”
I am free from this poisonous fog and still have plenty of stamina. But they are not.
The gas mask consumes stamina just by putting it on. Doing strenuous exercise with it is almost like torture.
In that respect, Lera, a wizard with relatively little stamina, was already considerably worn out. The back she touched as she was lifted up was already soaking wet.
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
Lera lies down for a moment, leaving a final apology. It may not seem like she’s resting since she can’t take off her gas mask, but it’s a precious moment of rest.
I looked at Lera for a moment and then kept my eyes on the Hellhorn.
“How about winter?”
“I’m getting closer to Winter.”
“That guy is hard to get close to.”
Thanks to that, we were able to have a little chat. I asked the first thing I was curious about. Winter was like a child left on the water’s edge, so I was naturally interested.
As if she had expected such a question to come up, Lera’s answer is also straightforward. As I felt during the Acid Gecko incident, these are useful in their own way.
Of course, I had no intention of dragging him into the church, but I thought he would be a little helpful in Winter’s miserable interpersonal relationships.
“By the way, you said you were going to call a rescue team, but how do you do that?”
“Didn’t you listen to the safety rules?”
“uh.”
“oh my god. How to get permission… … . Oh, no. “For rescue calls, use the provided flares.”
“You mean that? “That green one?”
“yes. It’s a pretty loud sound, so it can attract the monster’s aggro, so step back immediately after shooting and find a safe place… … . “Why do I see that?”
I pointed to the brilliant green light shining from the window of the lighthouse. Lera looked at me in the affirmative and stopped explaining.
I agree with the question, “Why do you see that?” I also stared blankly. I didn’t know you would do such a stupid thing.
The hellhorn began to go crazy. The guy turned his gaze to the lighthouse and started scratching at it.
It was built quite sturdy and would not easily collapse, but it was so old that it did not seem like it would last long.
“Let’s go. I’ll drop you, so get inside the lighthouse. Briefly explain the situation, bring the melee guys, and provide long-range fire support from above. Let’s go!”
There were about 10 minutes left until the lightning strike. I decided that I couldn’t just watch, so I left an order for Lera and ran out.
If I keep running wild like that, all the antennae I’ve collected so far will disappear. I asked my twin brother to put them inside the lighthouse.
What you worked hard for today will disappear? I absolutely can’t stand it. Even if I have to suffer a little more, I will keep it. Looking at what that guy looks like, I think I’ll get some good loot as well.
“It’s here!”
He threw glass beads and shouted loudly. The head of the guy who was scratching the lighthouse fearfully turned toward me.
At the same time, the ground beneath the hellhorn seemed to bulge, and hard soil quickly popped out.
The guy who got hit in the face screamed and fell backwards, giving the guy who crushed the glass marble a spicy explosion.
The explosion caused him to be thrown back and away from the lighthouse. Lera went straight into the lighthouse, and I turned on my lightning armor and rushed in.
‘It’s stronger than I thought.’
A powerful fist landed on the head of the unconscious guy. He frowned at the shock that passed through the gauntlet and onto his arm.
It’s harder than I thought. Even though I was hit by an explosion of glass beads and a fist covered in electricity, I didn’t get electrocuted.
The guy who let out a ferocious roar easily shook off the electricity by roughly shaking his body. Despite his ferocious demeanor, he was cautious.
“Over here! Over here!”
I judged it would be difficult to take it down, so I tried to lure it. I kept shouting and slowly moved in the opposite direction of the lighthouse.
The guy whose eyes were focused on me followed me somewhat cautiously, then stopped at a certain boundary. Then he suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the lighthouse.
Before I could be surprised by his clever behavior, I quickly chased after him. This is the most aggressive momentum so far. The purpose is to make sure the lighthouse collapses.
“Where!”
At that moment, a third-year boy who came out of the lighthouse turned his body and swung his sword. The upward strike, which received the rotating force, hit the guy’s head.
A third-year female student appeared next, jumping up and throwing out her hands. Her magical power engulfed her hands and she unleashed an intangible shock.
The shock from the martial arts directly hit the head of the guy who was raised high and blew it far away.
While I was amazed by the martial arts I was seeing for the first time in this world, I ran towards the two people.
“Baiting doesn’t work. They’re more clever than you think.”
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
The third-year male student furrowed his brow at the sudden outburst. The third-year female student took a deep breath and prepared for the next attack.
“Way?”
“All you have to do is drill a hole.”
“The hand that hit me hurts so much that I’m dying.”
The third-year boy shook his hand. He was the first to rush in and strike back. The impact was like striking steel with a sword. It was fortunate that his wrist did not break off in that one blow.
“It can’t make a hole, but it can open a way out.”
The third-year boy straightened his posture. A very angry hellhorn cow approached roughly. I took a moment to step back and take my chance.
This is an important crossroads where you aim to kill with one strike. Since we didn’t have much time to spare, we were planning to destroy it in the pasture.
A third-year boy took the first step toward the guy, which was roughly slapping its large front paws. He threw out the sword that was wrapped in his magic.
A truly sharp stab. After being thrown out, it moved at high speed and aimed at the eyes of the hellhorn. But the guy avoided the attack by turning his head in an instinctive movement.
I couldn’t dodge it completely and got hit on the side of the face, but that was enough. What follows is magic. The ground caved in beneath the Hellhorn’s left foot, causing him to lose his balance.
“Huh!”
The third-year female student, who didn’t miss the opportunity, kicked him in the right leg. The strong force caused the guy to flip over.
A stream of water rose from the ground beneath him and immobilized him. I gave the thunder horn symbol to the shovel and ran out.
When I got to the guy’s stomach, where his chest was visible, I quickly took out the Bible and took out the lightning wedge.
―Keyiing.
I took a deep breath and pushed out the wedge. The spear-shaped object spewed out intense heat and hit the hellhorn bull in the chest.
Only after the wedge, making its distinctive sound as it advanced, exploded did I see the gaping hole. I threw my shovel into the hole and fell to the other side.
“Huh.”
My face feels hot because of the heat of the electric current. Immediately after falling, he got up and exploded the mark. In the ensuing violent explosion, the shattered pieces of the shovel tore through the insides of the Hellhorn.
“Wow. “He’s persistent.”
The guy who had been struggling for a while finally let out a breath after he had collapsed. It didn’t take long, but he moved quite passionately.
It was fortunate that the third-year students’ skills were better than expected.
“Why did you fire the signal flare?”
“The leader guy is showing signs of intoxication. He needs to be treated within two hours.”
“Oh, my legs hurt.”
Is that why the arrow was not visible? After roughly understanding, I looked at the hellhorn and entered the lighthouse.
“What are you going to do?”
“We need to find a direction to go. Even if we just wait, the numbers won’t come out. We need to move while periodically firing signal flares to attract the rescue team’s direction.”
I nodded at the third-year boy’s words. The third-year girl carried the fainted leader, and the twins carried their luggage. I also carried the backpack containing the loot and Lera’s magic backpack.
“What a pity.”
“wait a minute!”
I expected to get some pretty good loot, but it was a shame. My twin brother passed me by as I looked at the hellhorn with a regretful expression.
He poured magical water into the hole. Soon, the water spinning furiously from within cut off the hellhorn’s head.
“The hell rhinoceros has the most expensive horn!”
“Take care! That’s a signal from the rescue team! “Going there!”
“okay!”
I instantly liked the red-haired guys.
