How to Survive at the Academy

Velbrok Subjugation (5)

― ‘I don’t know why I have to live.’

It was a boy named Glockt.

A young boy, who is only over ten years old, was able to meet and talk with the great sage of the century, Sylvania Robester… because he inherited the blood of the adventurer Dalex Elderbane.

The emperor of that time allowed Sylvania to meet all the different characters from all walks of life. Because she was convinced that if she broadened her knowledge of Sylvania in any way, she would continue to invent magical innovations that benefit the world.

The emperor’s intentions were right. When I was at the Lily Palace Lab, my knowledge of Sylvania was expanding more than ever.

Meanwhile, he met Gloct, a chubby-haired boy with empty eyes.

She will never forget the empty eyes of the boy who sat quietly in the waiting room and stared blankly at Sylvania.

His father, the backcountry adventurer Dalex, died last month. He was attacked by a bear while exploring the lands of the Far East and died. Her mother died the day Gloct was born, so she was effectively an orphan.

As his last wish, his son Glockt wanted to be alone with the famous great sage Sylvania.

In honor of his father, Dalex Elderbane, the emperor granted his wish. On the day he finally came face to face with Sylvania, the words the boy with dazed eyes spoke out had a very heavy meaning for his age.

― ‘I’m born with a weak body. It is safe to say that there are no magical talents in the Magic Tower. I’m not very smart either. I’m not very sociable, and it’s rather difficult to deal with people. I have no close friends, and at least all of my family members have passed away.’

– ‘…’

― ‘I don’t think I’ll see any light in my life just because I’m going to live like this all the time. There is no clear goal. I don’t think there’s anything that can be called a dream, and I don’t think it will be possible just because it happens. I am convinced that life is not going to get any better.’

There was even certainty in the boy’s eyes. Because it is your life and your own qualities, you know it better than anyone else.

― ‘I don’t know what happiness is.’

– ‘What do you mean?’

– ‘You never know. As I live my life, even if I’m just stupid and can’t do anything like this… I might stand out somewhere. If you’re lucky, you might have great success. But… even so… in the end I’m going to die lonely. Where there is no one, there is nothing, I’ll just sit there and die. At all, I was just… empty from the beginning…’

There are times when we all feel confident for no reason.

There comes a point when you realize that if your life goes on like this, there is no point in getting better.

The peak of his life seems so clear, and it’s hard to fathom the fact that it’s not even high enough to be called the peak…

In that way, there comes a moment when you feel the emptiness of life itself.

What on earth is the meaning of continuing to live a miserable life like this?

It is a story in a novel that gets a performance, something special happens and life is miraculously turned upside down.

The miserable life of 99% is bound to end badly.

Misfortune in fairy tales is an ordeal that must be broken.

Unhappiness exists to break down. It is the story of the main characters in fairy tales to break the misfortune and take the bright future to come.

However, unhappiness in reality is just unhappiness.

Unhappiness is unhappiness in itself. the reality that has come. Just as hands and feet are just organs attached to the body, unhappiness is just a lump that must go on for the rest of one’s life.

It is not an obstacle that guarantees a brilliant happy ending, nor is it the food of the mind that will one day grow me further.

We are not the protagonists in our real life.

And for those who are not the main characters, unhappiness is just unhappiness.

― ‘I heard you are the wisest person in the world. So, I just wanted to ask you.’

Such a boy asked Sylvania with his empty eyes.

― ‘Do I really have to live this life with nothing to see in the future? What the hell does that mean… mean?’

Even if life is just struggling with pain, is there any reason to keep going?

It was completely unexpected that such a question would come out of a 10-year-old boy’s mouth.

Sylvania couldn’t remember what she answered there…

* To deal with an enemy with an absolute advantage, you must mobilize all available means.

First of all, honestly sticking with the magnitude of force in an open area is suicidal. You must move from the battlefield to a place where you can utilize the terrain.

After making that conclusion, he started the battle by scattering the smoke generators he took out of his arms on the floor.

– Wow!

– Whoa, whoa!

As Velbrok’s breath cut through the night sky, and the screams of huge magical powers once again covered Aken Island, I quickly ran through the rising smoke screen.

This is to jump back into the Trix Pavilion, from which they had just escaped. In the open front yard, you have to take all the attacks yourself, but inside the Trix Pavilion, which is blocked by all kinds of walls and doors, you can somehow use the blind spot of your vision.

As if Sylvania had read her intentions correctly, she fired dozens of magic bullets with just one light swipe of her hand.

From Sylvania’s point of view, even the metaphor of a light jab… was such a small blow that it was rude.

Dozens of magic bullets that are enough to crush a human body are manifested only with nerves that are only enough to reflexively shake the body. I managed to avoid the bombardment of magic bullets that hit me directly by flying myself into the lobby of the Trix building.

– Bang! Kwagwang! bang!

Before long, the entrance to the Trix Hall collapses.

Building rubble was crashing down where I had just stood.

The lobby area of Trix Hall is rather open. If you want to attract attention and delay time even a little, it is better to escape to the hallway on the second or third floor.

So, it was the moment I was about to move my body towards the stairs.

– Bang!

The roof of the building is cut like tofu.

Sylvania, who had just been on the top of the open top, smashed all the way to the ceiling on the first floor with just one stomping of her foot and landed on the floor.

The bottom of the robe fluttered and dust rose, but the girl standing in the center of it absorbed all the aftermath of the surrounding area with just one sweep of her huge wand.

Movement as if there were no restrictions by physical force.

Among the dust, he bowed his upper body like a zombie, then grinned and… He looked at me and widened that creepy pupil.

“Excuse me. Be brave. Very brave.”

Was there even a thing called reason left?

“You don’t run away. Be brave. Really brave. cool. Be brave. awesome. Even when you see Sung Chang-ryong covering the sky, and even when you see me tearing down buildings casually, you burn the battlefield without running away. awesome. Really brave. cool. awesome. Be brave.”

Even though the voice cracks and cracks, he doesn’t stop talking.

It feels as if the rotting vocal cords are forcibly twisted to produce a voice.

“People like you will gather and gather to overcome such a great ordeal. He must be able to overcome such a nonsensical disaster that Sung Chang-ryong is resurrected. That’s great. Because there are people like you, because there are people with such great courage. So, the future will continue. Is not it. right. awesome. It’s really cool. Be brave. It’s amazing to have someone as brave as you.”

“…”

“So, you must die.”

The corners of his lips that went down to the extent that he seemed to be smiling with joy until now is overshadowed, making people goosebumps.

“We must die, we must die. you shouldn’t be you are a variable If you keep it alive, it will block the Velbrok. I’m going to try to stop that Sung Chang-ryong from ending this useless world. Stay still. It might be easier to die quickly. No pain, like sleeping… I will give you such a comfortable rest. Otherwise, I will kill you more painfully. So stay still. don’t resist Listen to me. If you don’t stand still, if you resist, if you keep procrastinating, it will kill you more painfully.”

“…”

“I’m going to twist my neck. Squeeze your heart and pull out the veins. I’m going to rip your intestines apart and peel your nails. I will expose the skin of my face and set its flesh on fire. I’m going to cut off my tongue, cut off all my fingers, and chop off my ankles. I’ll put a fireball in the mouth that begs to be killed. Blood will flow like a river. The protruding intestines will roll around the floor. sick. I’m really sick foodie. naughty. Curls.”

Sylvania’s face, which had smiled creepily for a while, returned to a bizarre expressionless expression again.

“So, die in peace. Let’s all die in peace together. Let’s not get caught up in vain. Falling into the endless void, wandering through the endless eons of the never-ending future, being eaten by such endless fear… Let’s all die here. Let’s head to the rest of death. I will help you. I can help.”

“Sylvania Robester.”

As I called my name softly, the girl who had brushed off the fluttering robes twisted her neck grotesquely and looked at me.

“What did you see?”

“I didn’t see anything.”

At that moment, a stream of blood dripped from Sylvania’s lips.

If you look closely, you can see that he was biting his lips.

“I didn’t see anything. there was nothing All I’ve seen is an endless darkness that lasts forever in the void.”

“…”

“Hey. Have you ever looked up at a dark mountain blankly in the middle of the night? Or have you ever just stared at the dark sea? Have you ever been staring at the endless darkness with no end in sight? Have you ever?”

Sylvania, who talks about madness in a voice with boiling blood, is not a person to talk to.

However, I was able to buy time to draw out the magic of my body. I concentrated and gathered up the magical power that was more than half empty.

“The fear of the dark is the primordial nature of human beings. Do you understand that having to swim in it forever is much more painful than dying… having your fingers cut off and your guts spilled out?”

“…”

“We can die more easily.”

― Fight, bang, hoot!

The magical power of the Holy Spirit that was raised again covers the whole area. The lobby of the trix building is quite large, but the concentration of magical power that is so full makes it difficult to breathe.

The moment Sylvania was about to start moving again, I turned the magical energy I drew into arrows and fired three or four shots at her.

I don’t think it will be a valid hit. I just hoped it would be a momentary interruption while I was running towards the stairs.

However, Sylvania does not even take a defensive stance. It doesn’t even implement defense magic.

Just by thickly covering the flow of scattered magical energy, the fired magic arrow was casually neutralized.

The magical power of the Aspect that I raised is directed at me. Sylvania, who stretched out her hands from afar toward me, clenched her fists.

Eventually, I realize the true nature of the magic.

High Aspect Magic, ‘Instant Death’.

Within range, it is a magic that has reached the apex of irrationality, which inevitably kills anything that takes the form of a human.

There is only one condition for that magic to work, and the opponent must be a human. That’s it.

there is no sanity Defense magic doesn’t work either. Within range, no human can escape death as long as the cast is successful.

It has a long cast time and a huge amount of Aspect magic, but it’s all meaningless to Sylvania, a pioneer of Aspect magic.

Even in Sylvania, it takes a bit of effort to cast High Aspect magic, but if you can put an end to the situation with one blow, you can afford it.

Lots of work to do. There are too many variables in the world that try to block that valve. It’s not good for her to spend such a long time against a human named Ed Roth Taylor.

However, I resist.

The only way to resist Aspect Magic is to fight against it with the same Aspect Magic.

Considering the rarity of the Aspect Magic, this is a virtually meaningless assumption. But unfortunately, I learned the Aspect Magic.

By clenching my teeth at the flocking Holy Spirit Magic, I draw out the Holy Spirit Magic of my body. It’s quite weak compared to Sylvania’s magical power, which boasts an incredible amount, but at least it can resist.

Lieutenant’s magic ‘death immunity’.

The mastery has not yet risen properly, but the basic effect is steadily manifested.

The overwhelming Sylvanian magic made my blood vessels burst, my nose bleed, and my bones trembled like shattering…

– Kaang!

I went crazy, but I drew the rest of my magical power and realized the wind blade.

A wind blade embodied in magical power flew towards Sylvania, who had just used high-level magic.

Sylvania seemed to get rid of the wind blade with one swipe of her staff, but her pupils were as wide as her eyes.

“Aren’t you dead?”

At that moment when Sylvania was startled for a moment, I ran up the stairs to the second floor of the Trix building, leading my whole body that felt like it was going to break.

“Aren’t you dead? how? How did you not die? must die When I can die in peace… When I can die in peace… I should die! But how? why? why don’t you die Why don’t you die? I can die easily, so why not? How do you not die? why? why? why? how? how? how?”

Sylvania, who had been repeating this over and over in a bizarre voice, eventually twisted her head and looked at me as I ran up the stairs.

“it’s okay. I will definitely kill you.”

Then the magic circle that unfolded again lit up…

Half of the Trix tube was blown away in an instant.

*“Save me, save me! If we stay like this, we will all die! In the sky, there are too many monsters in the sky!”

“President! What should we do now?! Should I run to the Obelisk?! Mae, the side of Maxes Bridge collapsed…!”

“Everyone, calm down!”

On the side of the student square where the closing ceremony was held, the remaining student council forces were gathering with the survivors.

All of the student members who came down from the podium and built a temporary garrison by using the collapsed stage equipment as barricades were terrified.

Fortunately, the student council president, Tanya Roth Taylor, is still keeping her composure.

“There has been no contact from the academic headquarters yet, have you?”

“Yes. I think that maybe the academic headquarters also suffered. It seems difficult to keep waiting for contact.”

Ziggs, who had just returned from the battle at the northern entrance of the temporary garrison, came and sat down next to Tanya, wiping off the sword’s blood.

After that riot, he had been fighting without stopping for a single moment. Ziggs was already quite exhausted, but still, there was still reliability.

“First of all, the terrain is very bad. It is better to hold on to one building and enter it than to face all the monsters that rush in all directions while sitting in an open place. It’s not without the risk of collapse… but it’s still better than sitting still and surrounded by monsters.”

“Once we add students and outsiders in the garrison, there are over 200 people. Are there any buildings around that can accommodate this number of people and yet be easy to defend?”

“The Obelisk is not good. The Glockt tube seems appropriate… but it looks like it just collapsed with that monster’s blow… It might be better to move to the class building instead.”

“Is it possible to lead such a large number of people to the class building without damage?”

“It is impossible. But even if there is damage, I think it is right to go.”

Ziggs analyzed the situation in a cool way and delivered it.

The situation is so urgent. The hope that the situation can be rectified without any damage must be abandoned.

The people in the garrison on the side of the student square were virtually entrusting their lives to Tanya’s judgment.

The weight weighed down on her shoulders, but Tanya managed to overcome the burden with just one swallow of dry saliva.

“If you go to the class building while escorting as many people as possible…”

“Still, at least half of them die. But if you sit quietly here and get surrounded by monsters… they all die.”

Ziggs’ sharp eyes are still unchanged. To say that he knows very well what he is talking about.

― aa

Once again, the roar of Velbrok pierces the sky. The magical light from the monster’s mouth tried to cover the world, but Lucy Meryl clenched her teeth and created hundreds of magic circles, which bounced off the sea.

A huge explosion occurred in the sea where Velbrok’s rays were pierced, and splashes of water sprang up. It was so huge that it almost felt as if it was pouring rain on Aken Island, which was in full swing.

– Dudududududuk

With her arms raised to block the pouring seawater, Tanya clenched her teeth and spoke.

“Tell everyone in the garrison to pack their bags! Anyone who can’t follow me will die! I’ll head to the class building first! It’s close to the living quarters there, so if you’re lucky, you might even be able to join the people from the church garrison led by St. Clarisse!”

“Should I tell the students on the side of the combat team teacher? It will take some time, but at your own risk.”

“There… Dyke-senpai will be leading it well. I can’t afford to go there! They’ll be holding up well at the training ground for the combat team, so it’s right for us to head to the class building first! There’s no guarantee it’ll be safe just because it’s a class building, but it’s better than here!”

“I knew.”

It was the moment when Ziggs gave a brief reply and was about to get up quickly.

“President! A new survivor joins us at the East Gate…!”

“I don’t have time to see each other! I’ll give you the basics while evacuating, and first of all, prepare to leave this garrison…!”

Before he could even finish those words, Ziggs, who had stood up from his seat, responded first.

The figure of a boy running from afar, supported by a girl, was familiar.

“Is that… Taylor…? Are you Taylor…? You’re alive, Taylor!”

“Jik…s…!”

Were you tired of piercing through so many monsters? Taylor was struggling with her body, supported by Ayla.

It was a long journey just to come to this student square garrison.

Ziggs ran quickly and supported Taylor, who was bleeding profusely, with Ayla.

“Tailey! What’s up!”

“Tricks Hall! The Trix Pavilion has been captured, Chairman!”

Tanya took a deep breath after hearing those words.

The Trix Pavilion… is the brainchild of this Sylvania Academy. In fact, it is safe to say that all emergency measures of this bachelor’s school begin there.

“It’s captured, what do you mean? Are you saying you’ve been attacked by monsters?”

“High Sage Sylvania… is resurrected. I know it sounds weird. I wonder what the hell this is.”

Ziggs, who was holding Taylor, also widened his eyes. The students who had gathered around looked at them, wondering what that means.

“I know it’s weird! However, for now, the situation is urgent, so please trust me! Now that the monster is running rampant, the situation is not normal either! I don’t have time to waste trying to convince you if what I’m saying is true!”

“Then… Trix Hall…”

“Great Sage Sylvania has destroyed everything. Me and Ila, who were at the Trix Hall, saw the scene and somehow escaped. Ed Roth-Taylor… Ed Roth-Taylor’s stopping her… Coke… Coke…”

Watching Taylor sneeze while being supported, the students all looked ridiculous.

Has Taylor McLaugher finally gone crazy? In this urgent situation, he couldn’t keep his sanity and just looked at things in vain.

“Please, believe me. Now… not only the monster that covers the sky, but there’s a real monster in the Trix Hall. I don’t know why, but the mad great sage is slaughtering people as he sees them! If either of them can’t stop, it’s all over!”

In any case, the news that Taylor had asked was utterly disappointing.

Whether you saw it in vain, or whether the legendary great sage was really resurrected…. The important thing is that some kind of threat that overcame the Trix Hall remains.

And, Ed Roth-Taylor… is blocking it.

“Your brother is in the Trix building right now?”

“If you don’t help quickly, you will die. It’s not something you can beat! Even if you gather all the power of this island, you can’t do anything about it!”

“However…”

Tanya held her breath.

Hundreds of lives are now hanging on their shoulders. At this point, running to the Trix Hall to help Ed is virtually the same as throwing away hundreds of lives.

Tanya’s absence, who had the authority of the student council president, held the center and led it… will lead to fatal consequences for the people in this student square garrison.

Dozens of people’s lives are lost the moment they move even a little slower. It is a crisis situation that runs on the edge of such a sword.

Tanya gritted her teeth. His clenched fists were trembling.

“More than that, we have to deal with that Chang-Ryong Sung side, Taylor!”

It was Ayla who raised her voice there.

She is in a position to hear most of the truth from Ed. It means that you are in a position to judge the situation faster than anyone else.

“Using the most power, we have to clean up that velbrok!”

“Hey, that… is it possible…?”

“He.. what is he?! What nonsense!”

“How are we going to get rid of that monster! You don’t have to find a way to escape!”

At Ayla’s call, the garrison students responded with trembling voices. Even so, Ayla looked straight at Tanya without paying any attention.

“President. We’re going to get Velbroque. Now, if it’s Taylor, if I can somehow get to the heart of Velbroque… I can cut it down.”

Tanya swallowed dry saliva and looked at Taylor. His body was already full of wounds, and he looked very tired.

Even the hope of a combat team that knows how to use the swordsmanship ceremony, it is hard to believe that they will be able to overcome that monster in that state.

Although the seal has not been released yet, even the rare genius Lucy Meirl is a struggling opponent.

“If that seal is completely loosened, it’s really over. If it’s now, maybe it’s possible to somehow get to the heart of Velbrok! If you try to run away, people will only keep dying!”

Ayla exclaimed desperately. How reckless that would sound, to be honest, Ayla herself knew well.

Still, I couldn’t stay still. He knew that only Taylor could solve this catastrophe.

Tanya’s reason whispered in her ear. You should never listen to such reckless stories.

According to a reasonable and reasonable judgment, it is right to take Aila and Taylor and run away to the class building. At this moment when each and every one of the combat personnel is sad, the addition of a combat agent named Taylor is a great blessing.

It must have been the right decision to hold even a single ray of hope while leading a large number of escorts…

Ed Roth-Taylor’s intentions scratch his chest deeply and make him feel uncomfortable.

There must have been a purpose in keeping Taylor alive and sending him to the student plaza while staying in the Trix building himself.

His older brother, Ed Rothtailer, never set foot on a limb without meaning.

I feel a strangely strange obsession with saving Taylor by doing this…

Reason and the sixth sense.

When you lead a group, there comes a time when you have to weigh in between them.

You should not always cling to rational processes, nor should you always listen to the cries of your sixth sense.

The situation is dire.

Even in moments of hesitation, people die.

Even if judgment is wrong, people die. Carrying your life on your back is such a heavy thing.

Tanya closes her eyes tightly and takes a moment to ponder, then finally speaks out.

“Ziggs-senpai. Let me help you, Taylor.”

“I beg your pardon?”

Each combat agent is a moment as precious as gold. The Ziggs are in fact one of the garrison’s best forces. In a way, Tanya’s own life could be in danger.

“Join you two and try to sort things out. I will remain here and take charge of the people in the garrison.”

“President. Sorry, but I’m against it. The reason I am here is…”

“Even if no one else knows, I will save Elka-senpai even if I risk my life. I promise with everything for the Roth Taylor family.”

Even Tanya is well aware of Ziggs’ principles of conduct.

The reason Ziggs stays in this garrison is because he is a student member, but in the end his lover Elka stays in this garrison.

“I’m going to bet on my brother’s judgment… So please hang out. Ziggs-senpai.”

Tanya didn’t say a long word. He was just staring at Ziggs with his sharp, open eyes.

There is no time to think long. Ziggs narrowed his brow once, looked around him once… and took a deep breath.

Then, after brushing off the blood of the knife, he put the knife in its sheath.

Then he turns to Taylor and talks.

“In order to approach Velbroque, you must first be able to resist the magic that he is wearing at least. As you can see, the concentration of his magic power gets stronger the closer he gets… just approaching him to cut his heart will make it difficult to withstand the aftermath of the magic.”

Seeing Ziggs calmly discussing future measures… Ayla became a color of harmony.

“So, at least we need to find a way to withstand the aftermath of magic. The most popular way… is to drink a resistance reagent.”

“The Pension Department professors will know how…!”

“Unfortunately, most of the professors have lost contact, Ayla. The Trix Hall has been occupied.”

Ziggs somehow managed to keep his composure, supporting Taylor again.

“But… there are many students who can do reagent ductility even if they are not professors. As far as I know… Elvira can. Other senior students from the Department of Pensions may also be eligible.”

“But… you don’t know where Elvira is…”

“Whether it’s Elvira or other senior pensioners… it’s obvious where to go to find an honors student.”

Ziggs turned his head to Tanya and spoke, with Tailly supported.

“I will head towards the Ophelis Hall, which is managed by the maid Jean-Belle Maia.”

The voice was still strong.

“Please, survive.”

Seeing Tanya nodding her head firmly, Ziggs stepped forward.

*The procession of death continues. The number of deaths already cannot be counted.

Velbrok’s roaring magic and magical aftermath that color the sky over and over again pushes people further into the crucible of chaos.

Velbroque’s magical power is so great that even Lucy Meryl frowned. Watching an ordinary high-ranking wizard casually fire magic on a scale that would leave you exhausted with just one shot, it’s mind-boggling.

Lucy Meryl’s clothes, floating proudly over Aken Island, were already torn.

In front of Lucy, who is floating, wearing a witch’s hat and fluttering a cloak that is nothing more than a rag, the figure of Velbroque still wrapped in chains is still there.

A disaster that reigned terribly as if it was going to end the world was preparing to destroy the world.

Its power is so enormous that its name, Seongchangryong, which eats even gods, is not disregarded, it far exceeds the level that humans can block.

No matter how strong the magic was, the Velbrok’s skin wouldn’t be pierced. Lucy sighed as she clicked her tongue.

it will be tiring

How long does it take you to feel that you are tired? Even when I caught the Mebular, I felt a little tired and a little sleepy.

Being completely exhausted is something you’ve never seen in your life.

Lucy nevertheless raised her magical powers. Even in this situation, that dazed and hoarse voice is still there.

– Kaang!

In front of him, Sung Chang-ryong, who makes death intuition just by looking at him, is roaring.

“You seem very angry.”

Raising his arms, he prepares to block Velbrok’s next blow. The light of magical power that wraps around her wide-opened eyes is radiating out like the starlight of the Milky Way.

“Come.”

The love affair, which had been twisted to the point of being twisted by the presence of Ed Roth Taylor, had already changed a lot.

Among them, if we were to pick one ‘variable’ that exerts an overwhelmingly large influence… In the end, it comes down to the existence of one person.

Lucy Meryl.

The girl who had stopped the catastrophe alone was looking down at the roaring Sung Chang-ryong with a casual expression.

In the aftermath of the storm-like magic, only the sound of the flapping of the collar filled my ears.
