65 – Stress Relief

Recently, it seems like people are dying.

If someone saw my condition, they would call me a living ghoul.

Because I focused too much on training, I feel like I can’t lead a proper life.

Living day by day, after finishing exhausting training, returning home and resting while whining like a burnt puppy is the only downfall.

What’s even worse is that once you get sick and lie down, you still have a reason to rest, but when you wake up in the morning, you’ll be back to normal.

Because every day is in full condition, it is true that you have to move hard until you use up that condition to the end.

To put it bluntly, it reached a level where even the mental protection effect of [Overwatering] Could not fulfill its role.

That means I’ve been too tired from training lately.

To be honest, after running this far, it was time to take a break as a reward.

Still, it seemed that the passion I had been running so far would cool down, so I decided to stop training in the ruins for one day, only for 2 days and 1 night, just in time for my first practice at the academy.

“Is that so…? It’s a pity. It’s been a while since I’ve come.”

Master was very sorry for something, but the living must live.

Anyway, where is the practice place you came to?

It is Lilibet, a British giant that produces real monster dummies and their AI.

According to the setting, it was England, where the most dungeons and monster gates appeared, so it is a company that is close to a national project that is directly supported at the national level.

In the case of the dummy we used in training before, it can be considered that most of them are produced by this company.

Actual battles with monsters, which are usually conducted from the 2nd year, are replaced with this dummy practice in the 1st year…

To be honest, the difficulty level is much more difficult than the dungeon practice.

There may be variables or emergencies that can occur in dungeons, but when I was in my second year, I got used to using characteristics and skills, so I was able to cope with it more leisurely than when I was an immature first year.

And, above all, the difficulty of these dummies is ridiculously high.

There are dozens of patterns, and there are even piles that are superior to the original monsters.

For those who are new to this practice event or beginners, it is an event where defeat is almost guaranteed.

In the first place, the intention of the event itself was to show the overwhelming difference in skill, so the academy was made to reduce the carelessness of the cadets, who would have a lot of confidence.

“Now, everyone who came to Lilibet. Welcome. If you would like to speak with us…”

The representative of this place came out like this and started to introduce himself here and there.

The fact that the other class A cadets, even Kylas and Yoo Jung-min, are listening and listening, surely has a great ripple effect in this world.

It’s me…What. It’s an event I’ve already seen dozens of times, so I tend to skip it right away,

This is reality.

There is no such thing as a skip.

Listening in one ear and letting it out in the other, casting a self-skip in my head and walking along, I finally arrived at the practice place.

“If you’ve listened to the explanation so far, you know, this is where the dummy’s construction is completed and the actual test is conducted.”

“What you will do here is to participate in the test by fighting against the dummy we present.”

The words are a test, but in fact, it seems to be being manipulated a little.

Anyway, from now on, the battle event will begin in earnest.

An ultra-expensive dummy [Chimera] That exists inside the test room.

1: 1, You will clash with the AI at the level that suits you from within.

Then, the shocking result of all defeats was met.

He is a guy with such a high level of intelligence that even Yoo Jung-min and Kyler, who seemed strong, would suffer defeat.

Of course, even if I lose in this event, there is no loss at all, but there are prestige and privileges gained by successfully defeating the dummy, so I shouldn’t just ignore it.

That’s why you need to concentrate a little and enjoy the battles of the other cadets.

Because there could be something different from what I know.

Slowly, the test began to progress from the bottom rank.

Most of them seem to be made up of patterns I know, but…

“Cadet Yoo Chun-hwa… First pass! I prepared for the 5th stage, which can be a little difficult at the level of first-year cadets, but honestly, I didn’t expect you to overcome it.”

“……. Whoa. Thank you.”

…… Huh?

Yoo Chun-hwa won?

Could it be… Is this because of me?

Well, he got used to the fighting style I taught him perfectly, and it seemed like he had recently increased the intensity of his training, maybe because he was conscious of me.

Yeah, what.

If it’s a thousand flowers, it’s enough to clear it.

“Cadet Arhan. Pass!”

“Cadet Kylers. Passed…!”

“Cadet Yoo Jeong-min… You’re amazing. What you prepared this time must have been level 6.”

After Yoo Chun-hwa, all the top lines started to pass the test.

Even while showing a disheveled appearance that he would not normally show, Yoo Jung-min succeeded in winning the victory by struggling to the end.

No, why the hell…?

Where else did it start to go wrong?

“My dear. Now, accelerater, it’s your turn.”

“….. Originally, did those guys suffer from evil that much?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Ummm… I’m not sure, but maybe it’s because of you?”

Is it me again?

“Anyway, I must say something recently. I must say that I was full of venom.”

“….. Me?”

“Hmm. The lectures that I would normally have listened to in moderation, should I say that the recent increase in training is noticeable. Wasn’t it an expression of will?”

It’s true that the amount of training has increased lately… But it’s full of venom.

That’s just because I’m mentally exhausted.

It was too much for me to keep up with the lecture, so I tried to stay awake as much as possible…!

“This order. The last cadet, Ga-sok Kim. You are the top of the grade… Can I expect a little more this time?”

“…… It doesn’t matter.”

“Okay. If that’s the case, let’s go to step 7, setting up.”

Fool….. I should have refused here… I’d like to say

, But I can’t say that in front of the other students.

There is no way things go the way I want.

Because of the disaster I unintentionally created, the rewards I could get from solo clearing disappeared, and a garbage event was created that raised the difficulty by two levels.

I was going to go a little more comfortably, but I had to work hard even here.

“From now on, we will start the test. Concentrate and take the fight seriously.”

In the end, the situation was not reversed, and the test was started as it was.

If it’s level 7, it’s probably a dummy with human-level artificial intelligence.

Right now, it’s hard to tell whether the opponent is capable of my level.

Now that it has come to this, it has become necessary to go from the beginning with sincerity.

————————————————————————- —

The selected field is the jungle field.

It is a field where the two elements of concentration and situational judgment are considered the most important, where you have to fight between the branches of tall trees.

Obviously, if this field…

“Uki … Right?”

“As expected. They appeared as apes.”

A chimera appeared above a tree not far away, changing its appearance to a monkey-like form.

Judging from the fact that he was holding a kukri-like sword with his hand, I think it might be a monster like [Tiff Monkey].

It’s the type of enemy that rides on tree branches and boasts high speed…

Rather good.

If I can lead it in a speed battle, I have an advantage.

If you can control the tempo of your stamina, which is still lacking, you will be able to defeat it.

That’s why, from now on, I started to focus all my nerves on the guy’s first move.

Depending on the first pattern he sees, will he continue to attack right away or will he wait longer…?

Took.

Suddenly, something strange fell in front of my face.

….. Banana peel…?

“Wookyaaa!”

“…… That baby monkey…”

Ha… Ha ha…

Is this a provocation pattern?

Yeah, since he’s wearing the gauntlet, enough patterns like that could come out.

But apart from that, I started to get really pissed off.

If his provocation is for this purpose, I will praise him as a success.

Even though it’s hard these days, I’m going to search… Do I have to live being ignored by a kid like that?

But even he couldn’t have expected this.

Creates arrows by gathering mana, albeit feebly, in the gauntlet held in the right hand.

Then, calmly, I aimed my aim at his head.

It’s time to show the bitter taste to the guy who is still laughing at me.

Chiiyiying!

“[Aiming fire]…!”

Puuuong!

I hit the guy’s face perfectly.

He was bewildered as if he hadn’t thought he’d be attacked, but he immediately started charging towards us in a rage.

“Ukyaaa!!!!”

“Yes… Does it hurt? My heart hurts too…”

But that’s it.

Since you provoked it, you should get paid for it, right?

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately.

Good job.

To think that a punching bag appeared in front of my eyes like this.

Stop.

When he noticed my strange gaze, he suddenly stopped charging.

Once I saw him as a punching bag, no matter how many times I looked at him, I could only see him as a punching bag.

“Ughhh…Uhhh?”

It’s already too late to run away.

Right now, my eyes are closed and I can’t see what’s behind me.

“You can’t. Let’s hit him like a dog today.”

Now… Do you want to have a terrible time?
