25 – Episode 5. Baek So-so.

<10>

For now, things are going smoothly so far.

As in the story of the original Legend of Academia, if the Zetas family had been attacked after the booster had spread widely, the battle would not have been so easy to win.

All of the Zetas Family members who just fought must have used boosters to show Phase 2.

In the case of Zetas Family combatant D, who delivers shock through a medium, the moment he uses the booster, he uses ‘air’ itself as a medium.

From then on, there will be an unconditional hit test, and unavoidable attacks will continue to fly.

Zetas family combatant B, who overturned the floor and made a steel shield by converting some of the metal materials. This guy’s body turns into metal when he uses a booster, making him immune to physical attacks.

It was fortunate that I got to fight before such a gimmick was born, before boosters spread widely in Academia.

Otherwise, my life might have been in real danger.

In the ‘Booster Episode’ fighting the Zetas family in Leoa, battles of a fairly high level of difficulty were arranged in succession.

Until the difficulty level was adjusted in the future, this section was called the ‘Newbie Cutter’ and was infamous.

I also had a hard time waking up without Lee Si-hyuk.

Unlike other users who have Lee Si-hyeok, who can clear the game moderately after growing to a certain extent, I had to challenge the stage while going through extreme worries.

“Where am I going now?”

Nicola asked as she straightened her hair with the comb she took out from her arms before she knew it.

You too are extremely sincere in keeping a single concept.

“I should go to the front door first. It probably has the most enemies there, so even Alex and Makina must be tired by now.”

“I got it.”

This guy. Did they even develop a sense of fellowship just because they fought together once? Strangely, I feel like I’ve been listening to my words since before.

We moved slowly toward the front door, wary of our surroundings. When I arrived there not long after, the opposite of what I expected was unfolding.

“hahahaha, it’s fun, it’s fun! Come some more!”

A person flies in the sky.

The name of the main character who performed a miracle that defies gravity is Alex Ichi. Every time the sparking fist moved, each person was experiencing an experience that could not be experienced in a lifetime.

“Machina attacks enemies with the side of her greatsword. Because there was an order from the teacher that if possible, you shouldn’t kill people.”

From noble mtl dot com

Machina is spinning around Hillwind in the middle of the group of Zetas Family. There was no bloodshed because the side was facing the enemy rather than the blade, but the moment it was struck, the sound of breaking bones was heard and people fell one after another.

“Is this the end? Is this the only Zetas family?”

“Machina is dizzy. But for some reason, I want to go around a little more.”

I glanced behind her and saw Nicola’s face behind the mask.

He probably has the same expression as me.

“… I guess I don’t have to worry about it here.”

“I agree.”

“Then let’s move upstairs.”

Nicola nodded her head.

We headed up the stairs to the second floor and randomly destroyed the boosters and production facilities that were being produced.

However, the body of Astray, the raw material for boosters, which is the most important item in this factory, is nowhere to be seen.

As expected from Leoa, it seemed to be on the second floor.

“Lee Si-hyeok.”

As she was walking up the stairs, Nicola spoke to her.

“Huh?”

“… It is nothing. Let’s talk later.”

It’s bland. It was clear that there had been a change of heart.

Have the eyes looking at me changed after using a colorless element?

Well, it wasn’t that bad.

<11>

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I heard the sound of metal crashing in the distance. I made eye contact with Nicola without saying a word, then ran to find the source of the sound.

It wasn’t long before I saw a familiar face.

But both of them don’t look very good.

“Suisei!”

“… Mr. Sihyuk.”

Are you relieved to see my face? Suisei, who had been fighting someone for a long time, collapsed helplessly to the floor as if his legs gave out.

Chae Hee-rin hurriedly threw her body and barely prevented her from hitting her head on the floor.

Judging from the tired look on her face, Chaehee and Lin also seemed to be fighting a fairly strong opponent.

Fortunately, the opponent did not make any additional attacks on the fallen Suisei.

“Oh, another appearance of a mask.”

As I moved a little closer, the face of the enemy who was blocked by the wall was revealed.

Muscular brown skin and reggae hair. If you look closely, part of the arm has turned into dark metal.

Even though the situation was 4:1, the guy showed a relaxed expression without any agitation.

“But wouldn’t there be no meaning in wearing a mask if I called out each name like that?”

“…… Paulo.”

Damn it.

Are you sure it’s that guy?

“You know my name. You have some information about the world ‘beyond’.”

“Sadly.”

“Yes, it is sad. It’s sad.”

I continued my conversation with him and moved slowly.

The priority here is to save Suisei and Chae Hee-rin.

Paulo is dangerous.

In the Zetas family, excluding the bosses, the enemies with the strongest fighting power are the 3 executives.

If boosters weren’t widespread yet, it would have been worth fighting the other two.

But Paul Roman is an exception.

Paulo is a very dangerous guy who has the same combat power as the other two executives who use boosters even without boosters.

“Oops.”

For a moment, Paulo frowned and looked at Nicola behind my back.

“George Surhan hyung, it must be difficult with that level of power, right?”

“… Chet.”

Before I knew it, part of Paulo’s neck had turned into metal the same color as his hand. One of Nicola’s specialties, an attack that blocks blood flow, was blocked by strengthening her body.

Unlike the lower end combatants, he is quite familiar with combat.

Nicola shrugged her shoulders and met her eyes with mine.

“There, bro. Won’t you stop soon If you go back right now, I won’t pursue you.”

“… Okay? The bottom has become such a mess, can you please let us go?”

Paulo undid the metal on one of his little fingers and muttered, clearing his ear.

“This lady fought better than I thought, so I’m getting tired. There’s a separate mission the boss gave me. I don’t care what happens down there.”

It won’t be a lie.

Even in Leoa’s story, Paulo, unlike the other two executives, gives up fighting and runs away when his health drops below half.

A shrewd guy who obeys the boss’s orders, but isn’t loyal enough to risk his life.

“Then-.”

“That’s a joke.”

The moment I relax, Paulo’s shape disappears before my eyes.

When I noticed that fact, he was already right in front of me.

His metalized hand, sharp as a spear, runs toward my stomach.

It seemed like the world was slowing down.

Is this a kaleidoscope?

Just as I thought of such a stupid idea, someone jumped in front of me.

“Stupid… bloke.”

It was Nicola.

With those last words, Nicola fell down. A trickle of her bright red blood flowed from her chest.

“I stabbed it with the intention of piercing it, but the telekinesis shield is quite strong as well.”

“aaa!”

I screamed and punched Paulo in the face. However, along with the excruciating pain, my fist bounced off powerlessly.

“What is it, bro? I thought you were strong because you talked so easily, but it’s not as big as I thought.”

Paulo, whose face had turned to metal, grinned and muttered.

He stretches his arms back again. An attack to finish me off for sure.

But before the attack could begin, there was a pop and sparks flew over Paulo’s shoulder.

“Sheesh, this again? Annoying Siri.”

As if Chae Hee-rin’s attack was threatening in its own way, Paulo jumped back and widened the distance. Chae Hee-rin continued to attack in a row, but none of them landed properly.

“Lee Si-hyeok! Take these two and run away!!”

Take the two of you and run away? If that happens, Chae Hee-rin will be left alone.

What happens to characters who lose in battle? If it was a game, just restart after recovering your stamina. But this is now reality. Did you move too carelessly? Should I have been a little more careful? Were you too arrogant?

“Lee Si-hyeok!”

Chae Hee-rin exclaimed as if squeezed. I barely came to my senses when I heard that voice.

“Take it! Chae Hee-rin!”

Instantly creates a colorless element and throws it at Chae Heerin.

“My ability! Amplifier!”

However, unlike Nicola, Chae Hee-rin does not respond to my calls. Could it be that you didn’t understand what I was saying?

“Chaehee-.”

“I know!”

When I called the name again as if urging, Chae Hee-rin shouted in an annoyed voice.

“If you raise the firepower more than this indoors, you will burn to death!”

“I think it’s a good idea. It’s raining heavily outside, so you really have to die?”

“You shut up!”

Chae Hee-rin attacks Paulo, who is muttering provocatively. However, Chae-hee-rin’s attack slightly burns Paulo’s body, but does not fatally injure her.

“It’s okay, so just use it. If we continue like this, we will be annihilated.”

I approached Chaehee-rin, and she picked up the colorless element rolling at her feet and handed it to her again.

“Stop f*cking and run away, Lee Si-hyuk!”

“Then what do you do?”

My words made Chae Hee-rin’s shoulders tremble. Chae Hee-rin seems to have a strong ego and initiative, but in fact, she has an indecisive personality that makes it difficult for her to make judgments easily in critical situations.

At my words, it seemed that the resolution he had made at best was shaken.

“Get away quickly…”

“This is more likely. Trust me.”

Even though I said that, I was helping myself.

What are you looking at to tell me to trust you?

“… I do not know.”

With my last twist, Chaehee-rin finally held the colorless element in her hand.

And a blinding flash-
