The Academy’s Time Limit in a Novel Written by a Friend

41 – Preparation for episode 41. (4)

Of course, it is natural, but a higher species is not classified as a higher species for nothing.

Even if it is a reinforced magic bomb, one or two cannot defeat the Ent.

“Yes, but I will continue~”

But what if you repeat it ten times?

Too-kwang!

It’s a little ugly, but wouldn’t it be enough to win without getting hurt?

Safety comes first in everything. Safety first.

Actually, this method can only be used in dungeons with large doors and wide spaces, so it was a method of extermination that was also included in academy textbooks.

It is a tactic only possible under the assumption that there is a wide space to withstand the explosion and a wall to block the storm, but being able to unilaterally defeat a huge boss monster that can’t avoid the explosion is definitely an act of merit.

Of course, it is not always a jackpot in a dungeon.

In general, it’s not a very efficient method because you can’t use expensive things like high-end magic bombs randomly, and it actually says that it’s not recommended, but it’s not a waste of investment for me who’s confident in the rewards of this dungeon. It wasn’t.

I didn’t have much to spend the money my family sent me anyway.

“Okay, one more!”

And most of all, since I have reinforcements, I like the fact that I don’t have to use as many bombs as others.

-Wow…!

I felt like I could hear the screams of the ents beyond the door, but maybe the evil monster bastard was pretending to be weak to deceive us.

“Open your mouth! Go in again!”

hahahaha! It’s like Ents are garbage!

Somehow, it seems like the kids are looking at it with eyes that look a bit tired, but what can I do?

Life is a game, guys! Ganji doesn’t feed rice!

After detonating all ten prepared bombs, I sent a signal to Cheon You-hak, and Cheon Yu-hak carefully opened the door.

-Turn it off…Uh…!

And surprisingly, the Ents were still alive.

My whole body was blackened, and I couldn’t find a safe place in the aftermath of the explosion.

“…Effective, but I don’t know if it’s efficient.”

Chun Yu-hak muttered that and injected magical power into the spear.

To say the least, even if I sold everything I’ve been catching junk mobs so far, I wouldn’t be able to buy 10 high-end magic bombs, so it might seem that way.

But study abroad! This is the real reward room! I’ll take care of you, man.

-Keep… Uh…!

Ent, who had been crying sadly as if he couldn’t die like this, became motionless as he screamed in agony at Cheonyuhak’s javelin.

Ah, Ent. You are the strongest opponent I have ever fought.

It’s just that I was a little stronger.

What, are you dissatisfied? It has been said since ancient times that it is not the strong who survive, but the survivor who is strong.

“The results of subjugating high-ranking monsters should be high, right?”

“Yes, yes, but.”

“Wow, looking at it this way, it seems like there is nothing special about the upper class?”

Where did all the frightened guys from just now go?

“I can hardly use the material. They could not stand the impact and were either broken or burned.”

I thought it would be a pretty good material because everyone caught the upper class, so I looked a little disappointed, but in fact, except for Cheonyuhak, it was a miracle that I encountered the upper class and survived, so there were no people openly arguing with me.

“Well, I have to hope for something good in the reward room.”

As I pretended not to know, their faces lit up at once.

Yes.

Although they earn extra income from materials, isn’t it the reward room after all when it comes to dungeons?

Of course, this is not a game, so difficult dungeons do not necessarily have good rewards, but people’s psychology is a way to expect rewards if you have suffered.

And they probably will never regret the choices they made today.

As we entered the boss room a little further, a huge door greeted us, just like the boss room.

“Some say empty carts are noisy, but it doesn’t sound like that.”

“Really? I guess I can look forward to it?”

Cheonyuhak and Jurira entered the compensation room with satisfied faces.

“… Huh.”

And in the center of the room, there was a spear that boasted such an overwhelming appearance that Cheonyuhak, who was rarely surprised, accidentally let out such a sound.

Chun Yu-hak, approaching as if possessed by the golden brain energy, looked at me for a moment and then stopped.

“Stop showing your embarrassing appearance. Promises are promises, so choose first.”

Yes. In a meeting with them before entering the dungeon, I promised them that I would be the first to choose an item from the reward room instead of telling them about the dungeon.

My colleagues at Chun Yu-hak, who recalled it, instantly sulked.

I felt pityingly disappointed, especially for Zurira, but everyone seemed to think I was going to pick that spear.

Anyone can tell that it is a weapon that suits Cheonyuhak more than me, so Cheonyuhak fans might be disappointed.

Heroic Artifacts. Brain dragon window. The thunderbolt wrapped around the spear was a threat by itself, but the true value of that spear was its special ability called thunderboltification, which could be used once a day.

It is an ability that literally turns a spear into lightning, and depending on the skill of the user, a simple javelin becomes a special one-hit kill.

Well, I don’t know that far, but I can’t deny that it’s a weapon suitable for Cheonyuhak.

“Now, how do you choose?”

But I didn’t pick the window.

What I chose was a round orb-like object that looked shabby to anyone, but those who looked at the grayish round orb tilted their heads.

“I will do this.”

Those who didn’t know what to do were taken aback when I announced that I would skip the window and pick up something that looked like garbage.

“…Kang So-hyun.”

“Why Cheonyuhak? You’re not saying no now, are you?”

“If you want to be considerate of me, then pick a spear. Even if you can’t use it yourself, you can sell it and exchange it for other weapons.”

Ho, this was a bit of a surprise.

Cheonyuhak is infinitely arrogant and ferocious towards opponents he does not acknowledge.

If you are greedy, the guy who has a great desire to show off will suppress all of that and say that he will give up the spear must mean that he greatly appreciates me.

But, study abroad. That’s not it man

“What did you say?”

I know the identity of the sphere I am holding.

The treasure that made it possible to overwhelm the cadres of the simple Villain Union while dealing with the two main characters at the same time was this snarky ball, not the brain dragon spear.

A quasi-mythical artifact. Yeoui 如意 Replica.

Yes. The identity of this round ball was a replica of the dragon’s surveyor… Used as a weapon by Son Oh-gong, the main character of Journey to the West, a monkey-type superstar who has few people to follow.

Among the things available at this point, it is the most compatible weapon, and a weapon that can almost perfectly compensate for what I lack. Above all, it was the moment when I obtained the strongest weapon.

Although it’s just a little heavy ball because it’s sealed now, of course I know how to break this seal, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

You might ask why replicas of Son Goku’s artifacts appear in the Dungeon, but there are good reasons.

…Honestly, it’s not the reason why I’m fine, it’s just because my friend wrote that, so I skipped over it.

Anyway, it was the moment when I got the strongest weapon at my level and the best combination with my talent.

“Well, anyway, I picked one as promised. The rest is at the discretion of the party leader… What, why do you guys look at it that way?”

Not only Chun Yu-hak, but all the other party members, including Juri-ra, were looking at me with moved eyes.

To be honest, it was the part I was aiming for, but the reaction was a bit excessive than I expected.

“…With the authority of the party leader, I will not claim the other rights in exchange for receiving that spear, but does everyone have an objection?”

Of course there was no way, so everyone shook their heads.

“Okay. Then I will accept this spear.”

Cheon Yu-hak cautiously approached the window.

From heroic level relics, I have a taste and sometimes cover the owner, but I don’t worry about that spear.

What that window sees is neither the propensity nor the strength of the owner.

Just a lot of fighting.

In search of a master who can use himself in the fight against more enemies, Chang enjoyed the fight without any resistance even in the hands of the scoundrel he should have welcomed as his original owner.

There’s no way a guy like that would reject Cheonyuhak.

As he carefully grasped the Thunder Dragon Spear, for an instant, golden lightning bolts circled around him as if looking out for its new master.

You look handsome.

Chun Yu-hak, a handsome sculptor with blonde hair, wearing a lightning bolt and pulling out a spear, looked very cool.

“I swear.”

Huh? What…?

“This is a weapon that my close friend gave me, of course, even giving up the right to take it. Never more than holding this spear and fighting. I swear by this spear and my name that I will not lose to anyone.”

Oh shit.

The reaction is way too much than expected. Is it that good? I know it’s good, but I’m kind of like that, right? I will politely decline.

“No, I guess I was too intoxicated, now. There are still many items left, so hurry up and distribute them.”

When Cheon Yu-hak’s permission was granted, everyone started looking for things.

Well, but in fact, I and Chun Yu-hak took care of the really useful things, so if I had to say what’s left now, I’d say the fruit of the Ent and the fruit of the face water?

Of course, that’s not a bad harvest, but after seeing the Thunder Dragon Spear, you’ll feel a little unsatisfied.

No, isn’t it?

They rejoiced at the strength of Cheonyuhak as if they had grown stronger.

Um, yes yes.

It is said that children grow up fighting, but it is best to grow up without fighting.

If Lilac was a friend’s son who was worried because he was too gentle, Cheon Yu-hak was like a friend’s son who was worried because he fought with the kids while fighting all sorts of accidents.

In the end, he’s a friend’s son.

The guys who were having a meeting in such a friendly atmosphere glanced at me, and then Juri-ri approached as their representative.

“Why?”

“As a result of the meeting, there was an opinion that it was too insufficient compared to the cost and activity of providing information.”

…Isn’t it? Are you so full of shit?

“…Thank you for conceding to Chang Yu-gak. Everyone is of the same mind.”

As I turned my head slightly, a healer and a wizard waved at me.

Hmmm, I’m proud that my friend’s son seems to be popular.

“That’s why I decided not to include this fruit in my settlement payment and give it to you.”

“Huh?”

While saying that I would give it to you, he held out a large fruit to me.

The fruit of the Ent. Of course, I thought I would sell and make money, but somehow I came into my hands.

“Hey, this is expensive. Sell it and make N bread.”

“Contrary to what it looks like, you don’t have a lot of greed, do you? If you want to go abroad with me, you should be a bit greedy. Anyway, I’m giving it to show respect for the leader, and it’s a natural right to claim in the first place, so don’t feel pressured.”

No, Lira, I understand what you’re talking about, but I got the best of them all…?

“Well, if you give it to me, I will accept it without hesitation.”

It’s not as good as the Thunder Dragon Spear or Yeoui, but this fruit is also a really valuable treasure.

That means there is no reason to refuse it.

Anyway, with this, the dungeon was cleared smoothly, and the reward distribution was over.

Everyone is in a good mood, so all we have to do is go back like this.

Okay, I just need to go back…

The ring.

It was an unpleasant notification sound whenever I heard it.

-Confirm the situation in which another character’s talent was stolen.

Oh shit.

That’s right. There was this

-Confirm that the character has a significant influence on the main story.

– A penalty is given. The strength of the penalty is E. Probability Modification.

I was afraid because I couldn’t predict how the penalty would be given, but surprisingly, the grade of the penalty didn’t seem very high.

“Huh? What.”

“Oh, which bastard came in first?”

The party members, who were delighted that now all they had to do was find the exit and leave, heard the voices of uninvited guests.

Originally, this dungeon was the beginning of the original academy. So, it is a dungeon that will be cleared in early May.

In other words, it is still normal in the second half of April, when there are no other intruders.

However, this crazy novel, which is quite similar to the author’s inclination, puts quite an irrational number in order to correct the probability.

“Ah, it’s kind of fucking crazy. The monsters are all behind.”

The villains who were supposed to take this chance crawled into the dungeon.

“Oh, here it is. Fortunately, you haven’t left yet, have you?”

A group of about 30 people, all armed.

They threatened us and drew their own weapons.

“You guys worked hard clearing the dungeon, and for the price of your hard work, just leave the treasure and I’ll take care of it, so go away.”

After Choi In-ho and Jin Kyung-tae, Cha Ho-young, an executive of the Villain Alliance, who harasses the main character in the beginning, stood in our way.

…But if you don’t have a wife, you’re a piece of cake, right?
