I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

60 – [2] Surviving the Academy

#060

‘Why is this bastard here?’

Kang Xian doubted his own eyes.

I was sent to run away, but it was because I couldn’t understand why they were reunited here out of nowhere.

Could it be that he was caught on the way out?

No, it should have been found above ground, not underground.

The fact that she came out to this battery now… … .

“Uh uh uh… … .”

‘I don’t know.’

I must have my own circumstances.

I just had to let it pass.

Kang Xian took Shannon out of the bag with a sullen expression.

He untied his bound arms and legs and patted his back.

It was a bonus to scatter the body as a whole.

Judging from his body and clothes, he seemed to have escaped a dangerous situation.

However, then there was no reason to keep her in the bag.

Kang Xian wiped her tears and examined the sacks.

The feel of artificial fabric.

There were no other letters.

There was only a pattern with the character swastika reversed and then rotated about 45 degrees.

I clicked my tongue and looked back at Shannon.

“Are you okay?”

“Sniff… … Yes… … .”

He said it was okay and hugged his tail tightly.

Actually, it wasn’t very good.

However, since he said he was fine, there would be nothing to say even if he dismissed it that way.

It was when I was patting Shannon’s back, who had stopped crying, to catch her breath.

“How did you get caught? I said earlier that you can get out if you just go straight.”

“That, that… … .”

Kang Xian expected to be caught as soon as he left.

But the reality was completely different.

“I did go out… … .”

“Did you?”

“It was so messy outside… … .”

Pillars of fire rise.

Buildings are destroyed.

The streets are confused.

Knights appeared.

People get slaughtered.

“So I just took the stairs next to it and went down to the basement… … There are people who are after me… … .”

Kang Xian wiped his face.

If it’s noisy outside, you should find a safe place outside. Why the hell did you go downstairs?

Moreover, if you go down, you hide well. Why did you get caught again?

After making as much distance as possible, I could go into any room and hide.

If that didn’t work, it was enough to fight like Kang Xian.

Shannon is a wizard, so fighting is possible.

However, if even that didn’t work, coming to the academy itself was a deception.

‘I thought I’d only see him in a game.’

It was like an idiot.

Of course, the idiot here is not the same as a thousand idiots.

Cheonmari is a crazy bitch who proceeds with infinite confidence in what needs to be done.

Shannon is a coward who gets scared of what needs to be done and doesn’t proceed.

In other words, Kang Xian was looking at her with a very pitiful gaze.

The good thing was that it didn’t show it externally.

In the end, Shannon stood up.

It was only natural that staying here would only increase the risk.

“If you want to hide here, go into an operating room or something, lock the door, and hide quietly.”

“… … Yes?”

“I was lucky enough to rescue him this time, but next time I won’t be able to.”

“Hey, where are you going?”

Xian Kang pointed to the ceiling.

It was clear that he was pointing to the ground, not upstairs.

“The ground is sh*t itself… … ?”

“It is.”

“I think it would be best if we just hid here… … .”

“It is, too.”

I agree that it is correct.

But I had no intention of following.

It was because it was obvious that there would be a thousand of them on the ground.

Even if I were to hide right away, I had to hide with her.

“I’d rather block the entrance to the floor together and hold on as much as possible—”

“My friend is still on the ground.”

“ah… … .”

Shannon looked at Kang Xian with a fearful expression, an expression that seemed to see death.

Of course, that was not a reaction that predicted Kang Xian’s future.

The thought that you don’t know when you will be put in a worse situation than before.

First of all, the idea that there must be a lot of numbers, and there must be people who are good at fighting.

in a dangerous reality.

His survival instinct was to capture Kang Xian.

But it has always been a personal matter.

Kang Xian pointed to the operating rooms next to him as if telling them to hide.

“Yes… … ?”

Then he turned around and headed towards the end of the hallway, the stairs.

It was to head to the ground immediately without a meager weapon.

“Sleep, wait… … Uh, ahh?!”

Shannon hurriedly followed but tripped over something.

He looked at his feet in pain.

There was a squire with one of his legs grotesquely broken.

However, he did not faint or die.

He was obviously alive and sane.

I just grabbed her by the ankles in pain.

“Hey, hey!”

He kicked the squire with his foot, but he refused to let go.

Rather, he crawled once more and tried to grab the remaining leg as well.

I hurriedly spit out my own suggestion.

He spread his palms toward the squire and activated his magic.

Squeeze… … .

Tragically, there was only a stream of water that wet the clothes.

This was because he was flustered and didn’t manage his mana properly.

Shannon looked at her palm and struggled in bewilderment.

He kicked and hit with his tail, but it was useless in front of the thick armor.

In the end, it was the moment when Squire grabbed Shannon’s knee.

“This bastard!”

Poo-!

Kang Xian’s kick hit the squire’s stomach.

The armor crumpled rapidly as if it contained magical power.

“Geuhup… … Whoops… … !!!”

It was during the time when he couldn’t keep his mind in pain.

I pulled out the sword that was stuffed at my waist as if taking it away.

Immediately, he poured his mana into it and stabbed it into the weak point of the steam engine.

Then he grabbed Shannon by the horns and dragged her roughly behind her.

It was the moment when his bloodshot eyes met Shannon, who was being dragged away.

With a bang, the steam engine on the back exploded.

Blood soaked the floor.

The pain of the sheep horn is forgotten.

The threat disappeared at once.

Shannon sat there blankly, shocked.

“I must have forgotten about him.”

words spoken casually.

Unlike Shannon, he seemed more relaxed than fearful.

just as expected.

He approached one of the corpses and grabbed a sword.

“No one will survive now, so you can hide in peace!”

“Yes? Yes… … .”

“Then I will go!”

His way of speaking strangely changed when he got the weapon.

It was thanks to the confidence that there would be no hindrance even if I went outside.

Kang Xian headed up the stairs.

Only blood, corpses, the remnants of a fight, and Shannon Redmond were left in the cold hallway.

Shannon was alone again.

So I thought and thought and thought again.

when a few seconds passed.

Strange screams of “kyaaa” were heard from upstairs.

“A female voice?”

It was the scream of a certain woman, not Kang Shi-hwan.

Even if you look at the words you hear lightly, you sound like an English-speaking speaker.

It was clear that the candidate had been attacked by those who followed the World Tree.

Hiding here, in the practice field, was no different from a dangerous act.

In a reality full of anxiety and fear.

Shannon made a decision.

“Hey, over there! let’s go together!”

She hurriedly headed for the stairs.

Right now, this was the only way he could survive.

* * *

Sin is being cleansed.

Some would think so.

We are under attack.

Some would think so.

Buildings are collapsing and homes are collapsing.

It must have been such a sight for some.

Here, 1,000 were representative of such thoughts.

She was very confused about what had happened out of nowhere during the performance.

‘Crazy bastards! That the case was this?! Why does it have to start today?!’

I knew that terrorism would happen because I was a regressor.

But that it was today was something I hadn’t even guessed.

‘It’s not just gun terrorism, it’s scroll terrorism!’

Also, apart from the incident, it happened in the United States, so I thought it was a common gun or bombing.

It was unimaginable to change the academy like this.

“Coke! Coke! Zen… … page!”

Chunmari spit out curse words and left the building.

As soon as I got out of the fire, I was on the floor.

I took a moment to catch my breath and look back.

Then, the sight of several pillars of fire reaching the far end of the sky came into view.

It was a spectacle and a fantasy.

If it was a lucid dream, I’d rather believe it.

To sum up, I was not interested in what happened during this time, so what I roughly remembered was returning to the boomerang.

It’s absurd, but the incidents overlapped, and it was inevitable for Cheonmari, who had been sent every time during her childhood.

And in the first place, where would there be a crazy group that commits such a thing in someone else’s territory as if it were an ‘offensive’?

On top of that, it was normal to think of firearms or small-scale magic terrorism when mentioning terrorism in the United States.

This was on a scale no one would have expected given the lack of information.

So, Chen Ma was afraid that Kang Xian would seriously scold her later.

As a regressor, neglecting what he should have known was a huge mistake.

“ah… … Wait, Jiangshi… … Xian is… … .”

If there was a problem, it was that it was all nonsense.

The important thing now is not what you missed or what happened.

Kang Xian, his precious childhood friend, was caught up in this incident.

He had an ominous feeling that he might have driven his only friend to death.

“No, no, no.”

Even if he died, it shouldn’t have happened.

To protect loyalty and friendship, he stood up from the floor.

But the body was a mess itself.

It was because half of his body suffered a fatal blow in the aftermath of the explosive scroll.

“Once there is a place to recover… … .”

The skin was burnt, the muscles melted, and the bones were exposed.

The entire left side of the body was like that, and smoke was rising.

His throat was even pierced by an iron rod.

Chunmari exhaled with difficulty as half of her face was burned, showing her muscles.

If he was a normal person, he would have died long ago, and if he was a Hunter, he would have died of shock.

He was in a position where he could barely stand it because he had a deformed resilience derived from supernatural powers and mental strength that opposes low humanity.

I shouldn’t have rushed.

Still, the thousand horses pulled out the iron stick.

He gritted his teeth, and blood poured from his throat and mouth.

The hole that had been pierced was being filled too slowly.

Because of the many wounds, the ability to recover rapidly decreased.

Even though the background was different, it was something I had experienced many times.

The thousand took one step at a time, using an iron stick as a staff.

Because it was so slow, it was questionable whether they would be able to reach Kangxian’s place in time.

Still, I continued walking with the sound of wind blowing.

When he felt slightly better, he was able to self-medicate in a destroyed infirmary in a building.

However, it was not a sophisticated treatment.

It was just a normal Hunter-style treatment.

The melted clothing and skin were forcibly ripped off, and red medicine was poured into the injured area.

Ordinary people ate handfuls of fentanyl, which was more than enough to die for, and because of the lack of bandages, they only wrapped them on the palms of their hands.

It was such an ordinary treatment that the doctor would have passed out if he had seen it.

In the midst of the misery, it was fortunate that I was able to avoid being naked because I had found one set of clothes.

The uncomfortable feeling of the muscle and the piece of fabric coming into contact came at once.

To be honest, it didn’t matter if I showed it to Kang Xian, but I had no choice but to wear it because I was conscious of others.

Thousands ran out of the building without using iron poles.

However, as soon as I went out, I ran into a group of people.

“What, what is that guy?”

“Is this crazy?”

“World Tree, how could such an existence… … .”

An ordinary human man wearing a greatsword.

An elf woman holding a bow.

A human woman with a cone hat holding a cane.

A human man who looks like a thief.

A human woman dressed in a pure white priest.

A dwarf man carrying a large bag.

“Uh, it’s not long until the support point anyway. I’d better deal with it quickly and leave.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Saintess, please ask for support magic.”

They are a group of warrior candidates.

It was a warrior party.

It was clear that he had been put in with fanatics and knights.

In other words, it was said that they were the culprits of this uproar.

“… … I was curious about something, but that’s good.”

It was a good scapegoat.

The thousand horses held onto the iron rod tightly.
