The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over

24 – The being that was looking at me from within

It’s not that I didn’t expect Master to appear.

But I never imagined that it would be in front of Rose, not me.

‘You knew that Master was strong.’

Well, when I thought about it, there was no way Rose didn’t know.

I, the one who saved Rose, is the teacher I fear.

Isn’t the correlation clear?

In terms of pure force, I was stronger than Count Kayden and Dunkel, and Master was stronger than me.

It may be natural that Rose, who I recognize as smart, thinks of her teacher as the strongest person.

Looking at the hologram, two women are swinging swords while looking at each other as if they are going to kill each other.

Was that appearance admirable?

Music sounds can be heard from all over the place.

“Wow…!”

“Why is that pretty person so strong?”

“Rose? “Isn’t he really joking?”

“I guess I can become a senior at that level?”

The professors also seem to be whispering opinions. If you see the surprised expressions on their faces, it means that they are being evaluated positively.

‘Hmm. That tidyer.’

My thoughts were different. This is because the Daphne fighting with Rose in front of me was far from the Master I knew.

Of course, it is true that that illusion is stronger than those who appeared before.

The Master I know is incomparably stronger than that illusion.

It was difficult. Just seeing Daphne at that level is causing this much of a reaction.

In this situation, what if they see the teacher who will appear during my turn?

I don’t know, but it was clear that there would be a more dramatic reaction than now.

‘It has grown a lot.’

It seems like just yesterday that I was walking around with a parfait in my mouth. It was only a few years ago that I tried to pretend to be an adult when I was young.

Even though Daphne is much weaker than I know, I feel proud seeing Rose sharing the sword on equal footing with her teacher.

“Oh.”

As I was thinking about that and looking at the hologram, Rose, who was receiving Daphne’s sword, lost the sword.

Chaeng, Rose’s sword falls and Master approaches Rose.

Yes. That’s a natural result. Well, wouldn’t I be able to get a pretty high grade with that level?

The moment I think so.

“···!”

Daphne in the hologram went on an extraordinary journey, and the inside of the auditorium was filled with astonishment.

“Wow…”

I was equally shocked.

It was worth it. What Daphne did after approaching Rose was to grab her head.

“Hey, this old woman…!”

Maybe he didn’t want to lose?

Rose raised her head, her face turning red, and grabbed Daphne’s head, grinning in exasperation.

****

There was a brief commotion, but the test continued.

The main character of the original work, Fran, summoned the Sword Saint, and people who suited their respective narratives appeared in front of the main characters.

And finally it was my turn.

“You look handsome.”

“It’s obvious, seeing as she looks like a gisaeng brother.”

“It won’t be a big deal anyway, so I hope it gets over quickly.”

“I’m curious. “How do you swing two swords?”

You can hear the candidates murmuring.

“Car, camel?!”

I can see Rose looking very surprised when she sees my face.

“Oh.”

“Is that the guy Dian was talking about?”

“That’s right. This is a friend that Dian is very infatuated with. “Belmore, you’ll be surprised too, right?”

I can also hear some professors, including Dian, talking about me.

From noble mtl dot com

I can feel the eyes of many people. Several voices sound like auditory hallucinations.

I guess it’s because it’s my first time standing in a position like this. As I was walking on the training ground, I became nervous and swallowed dry saliva.

“Huh.”

I soon arrived in front of the crystal ball and caught my breath.

Honestly, I’m nervous. The gaze of many people is one of the reasons, but the biggest reason is the teacher who appears when I place my hand on this crystal ball.

No matter how much it may be an illusion, fighting against Master was extremely difficult for me.

‘Please, let’s be gentle.’

Hoping for the Master’s illusion that has not yet appeared.

I placed my hand on the crystal ball.

Then the space begins to sway, and things in sight begin to change.

When I close my eyes and open them, the world has changed.

“Uh…”

After witnessing the world change, I had to let out a sigh of relief.

It was worth it.

The person who appeared before me was not Master.

All I could see was pitch black darkness where nothing existed.

****

A boy with black hair trying to place his hand on a crystal ball.

Looking at that scene, Dian found it difficult to control his pounding heart.

‘What kind of person will emerge?’

I was curious. What kind of wall is that boy who surprised me with his arrogance alone?

I was looking forward to it. How else will that boy surprise you?

“Huh.”

The boy catches his breath. The boy, who had gathered his thoughts for a while, placed his hand on the crystal ball.

-Tak.

The world went dark with a loud sound.

“What, what is it?”

“This energy…”

The examiners, Dean and Professor Kalmia, were embarrassed by the suddenly unfolding situation and had to jump out of their seats.

All the magic lights have gone out. Even though there were several large windows, all I could see was darkness.

No, there was just one thing I could see.

“···What on earth did you call me?”

The back of Camel seen beyond the hologram. Even she could only see him dimly, shrouded in darkness.

There were many doubts, but Dian did not have time to think for long.

“aaah!”

“Someone has collapsed here!”

Because screams and urgent sounds were heard here and there.

Dian hurriedly lit a firework to secure visibility.

You can see test takers lying all over the stands. There are people who are maintaining their senses but are shaking and shrugging their shoulders.

When I turn my head back, I see someone among the faculty who has collapsed.

“An ominous energy, even though it is an illusion, it exists enough to influence beings outside of the illusion…”

Dian, who quickly turned his thoughts around, was soon able to make a judgment about this sudden situation.

“Evil spirit…”

Dian trailed off his words and ran straight toward the training ground.

To urgently stop the exam.

To save the boy.

****

‘I think something is wrong.’

Otherwise, there is no way my voice would come out and my body would not move like it does now.

There is no way you can’t see anything, and there is no way you can feel the ominous energy running through your skin.

In the empty darkness where there is nothing.

Suddenly, a thousand emotions begin to rush in.

I’m angry. Jealousy wells up.

A ravenous desire arises.

Your s*xual desire soars, and you want to vomit out your emotions wherever you go.

I become lazy.

When I don’t want to do anything, I soon become arrogant or stingy.

Is this what it would feel like to be buried in the dark?

The mind is gradually fading and breaking down.

To me, I faintly hear an unpleasant voice, like the sound of metal scraping.

「To our destruction…」

An ominous voice is getting closer.

「This is the child who led. 」

A voice filled with arrogant emotions approaches my ears.

「 Finally… 」

-Cludly.

A disgusting sound coming from the darkness.

Space is opening up. My vision becomes brighter little by little. What you see in that space is a burning red flame and a black pupil.

「I found it. 」

As the black pupils turn towards me, an intangible energy tries to entangle my body.

“You…”

When I remember the identity of the being speaking to me, my voice suddenly opens up. I flinch, and my body begins to move, albeit slightly.

Once I calm down, the seven emotions are released.

I feel all kinds of energy and emotions rushing towards me again.

It seemed like there was no time to think deeply, so I immediately moved my hand.

Then the right hand, which was moving slowly, touches the handle of the sword.

I grabbed the sword.

I felt like I had to do something. I feel like it has to be that way.

I drew my sword.

Brilliant light bursts from the sword. I feel the restrictions in my body being lifted.

Just as I was about to swing my sword like that.

-Whaaah!

Suddenly, my vision reversed and the world became brighter.

“···.”

I can see the ceiling. Judging from the magic lights hanging high up, it appears to be the ceiling of the auditorium.

“It’s okay…”

“Hurry up and get treatment…”

“We must send it to the temple…”

Voices that sound like auditory hallucinations.

Did he collapse?

No, I’m falling down.

I see Dian and some professors moving urgently, supporting me as I lie down.

‘What is this?’

In a situation that is not understood.

I lost my mind.

*****

When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was not an unfamiliar ceiling, but a pure white cloud of smoke.

“···.”

A sweet fruity scent reaches the tip of my nose. Was the sweetness just a facade? The scent was sweet yet strong and acrid.

“Cough.”

A dry cough naturally breaks out.

“Oh.”

Someone heard me coughing and approached me with a dry voice.

My head turns. The source of the smoke, which has a sweet but strong smell, can be seen.

“Are you awake?”

The owner of the weak and dry voice was holding a thin piece of tobacco in his hand.

“···It’s been a while since I saw you.”

Long, light purple hair,

Crimson eyes that look lifeless,

Haggard expression, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Although she looked sickly, her unhidden appearance was beautiful as if it had been created with a lot of love from the gods of heaven.

“Yes. Long time no see.”

The sickly-looking woman who answered dryly was a woman who had visited the Viscount d’Armien and had met me before.

“Saint.”

The devastated saint, Lili de Baroque.

The girl, who looked like she was about to collapse at any moment but was still beautiful, answered by putting her tobacco in her mouth.

“Mr. Caramel.”

Still calling my name strangely.
