Episode 19. The Queen of Snowstorms (2)
There are several reasons why lycanthropes are a threat.
Ignorantly strong, and a uselessly good sense of smell. Specialized solely in the field of eating people, but possessing regenerative abilities, it is difficult for him to die.
And even a pattern of spitting lightning from the mouth.
It’s not that new, since it’s a basic ability that any monster would have.
In addition, the individual that has just appeared is wearing brown fur, which means that it is a mid-level individual among lycanthropes.
It is at a level where only skilled mercenaries or punitive forces can capture them. It is not enough for cadets who have not even been outside the fence to deal with them.
Even though there are only two such monsters in the main story, the Academy is thrown into chaos.
The timing is also incredible. Why on earth would they be having a party in the plaza to enjoy a Friday night?
If two monsters appear in such a place, it is inevitable that they will be easily annihilated.
‘Without even a supervising professor… … I guess it feels like facing an approaching typhoon.’
But even so, there are only two. As far as I know, that number of low-level lycanthropes is within the realm of subjugation if the main force among the cadets comes forward.
In the actual main story, the situation is resolved smoothly with similar aspects… …
“What do you mean five of them!!”
The typhoon has evolved!
The intruders were not two, but five lycanthropes. I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Clearly, I had no interference with their appearance.
I don’t think the variables that came into contact with Jenny and Mary during that time had a butterfly effect that increased their numbers.
Is there a new turning point in the story that I don’t know about? But I have no idea when that point might be.
I don’t know how they multiplied into five like a sentai, but I can’t figure out how to do it.
Even in the main story, we barely managed to prevent casualties. If the number increases like that, the damage will be even worse… … If that is applied as a butterfly effect, it could cause a major disruption to the Academy’s progress.
To begin with, this is a situation where even I am in danger.
“I’m really going crazy!”
I came down from the rooftop naked and ran towards the unique building in Gyosu-dong.
Compared to the cadets who were paralyzed from panic or still drunk and misinterpreting the situation, my actions would seem very quick.
There would be no point in going to the Unique Hall, where there would only be remaining cadets and individual faculty members. But I’m not going there to ask for support.
The destination is the office of the head of the combat department, Keiji Revola. Inside is a device that can reduce this overall crisis.
I don’t know about anything else, but there are a lot of noble materials here. If there are casualties, it’ll be a pain.
Above all… …I can’t become food for those wolves!
-I wish you a long and healthy life!
* * * * *
It was a very enjoyable time.
What kind of fucking guy would drop from the sky and interrupt my time of relaxation? I couldn’t forgive him.
“You… … at that time… … !”
A werewolf that looked to be at least 10 meters tall was standing there, drooling. Something flashed through Jenny’s mind as she encountered it.
The flashbacks that brought back memories of the past left Jenny paralyzed.
The whites of my eyes are shaking.
My lungs are crumpled.
The diaphragm narrows.
A symptom that mixes up so many senses that it doesn’t allow you to breathe. I already knew what the cause was.
A seizure brought on by unspeakable fear.
It became a chain that bound my whole body and made me feel like I was sinking into a deep, dark abyss.
“I guess we’ll have to postpone the match until later.”
Krona Delaware, who had not yet figured out Jenny’s anomaly, spoke with great disappointment. As soon as he finished speaking, one of the lycanthropes raised his fist.
It seemed funny because the simple structure and the actions were obvious, but Crona suddenly sensed a strange current.
“Jenny Chain Silver… …? Why are you just sitting there?”
“… … .”
“It’s dangerous!”
Kookwang!!-
There was no time to ask why he was just standing there blankly, with his burning fighting spirit gone.
The lycanthrope’s impact with the ground happened in an instant. The floor of the outdoor training ground split in half.
As it is designed for training, the sturdiness of the floor is beyond imagination.
The floor, which should have been intact even during the fierce battle between the two… …was smashed to pieces with just his bare fists!
If Crona hadn’t saved her, Jenny would have been at a crossroads of life and death.
“Wake up! I almost died just now!”
“… … .”
“Jenny Chain Silver… … Why is your expression… … .”
The complexion of his eternal rival, Jenny Chainsilver, had changed strangely.
The girl he knew was not a woman who would be scared by monsters like these.
I couldn’t help but feel betrayed when I saw her, who was always calm, exemplary, and hard-working… … and whom I respected, in such a haggard state.
“Awww!”
The guy howls and swings his arms again.
Crona, who realized through his senses that it was not the time to hesitate, created an explosion magic from the soles of his feet.
Boom! – A small explosion on the floor caused me to kick away at high speed, creating distance.
I moved out of the training ground, avoiding the guy’s claws with the difference in my long legs.
‘How did a monster with that level of power enter the academy?’
The academy’s perimeter is surrounded by a transparent barrier, preventing powerful monsters from entering.
Considering the cadets’ combat experience, entry is permitted up to mid-level monsters that do not pose a risk.
Anything more than that would most likely result in the Academy itself not being recognized or being bounced off when approached. As long as the barrier remains in place.
‘Could it be… … that someone intentionally made the barrier weak?’
It was the most likely cause of their intrusion.
But no one other than the professors can interfere with the barrier. So, it might be related to the professors.
Come to think of it, even though this chaotic situation had unfolded, the on-duty professor and security guard were nowhere to be seen. My worst premonition might have been right, but there was no time to be anxious.
“I will do my best to kill you!”
Krona Delaware suddenly dropped her practice staff to the floor. For a moment, she wondered why she had thrown away her weapon, but then a new staff was placed in her hands.
A famous sight, with a glossy red handle and a sun-shaped decoration at the end.
Just looking at it will be enough to tell that it is for actual combat, not for practice.
“Come out! Sunred!”
And then, from the magic circle quickly drawn by the staff, a monster with flame wings jumped out.
The intermediate spirit Sunred, who responded to the summons, made it difficult to distinguish between day and night by just floating in the air.
“Jenny Chain Silver. It was the power I originally saved to defeat you… … but there’s nothing I can do!”
A magic circle was drawn on both wings of Sunred as he flew into the sky. It burned brightly and expanded with increasing heat, eventually taking the shape of a ball of light.
It was only a moment before something dazzling burst forth.
“Explosion!”
A straight line of projectiles cut across the Academy night, temporarily turning it yellow.
A large explosion occurred as it hit the training ground where the lycanthropes were standing.
A round light rose up and a hot wind blew so strong that you would be blown away if you didn’t grab something.
The properly hit Krona Delaware made a comical expression.
With the actual staff and even the contracted spirits mobilized, there was no way they wouldn’t be able to handle it. Thinking so, Crona straightened his shoulders.
“Jenny Chain Silver. This is the difference between you and me… … .”
Awww!
A wolf’s howl was heard, and Crona looked at the epicenter with trembling eyes.
They suffered burns all over their bodies, but they were fine. Even their wounds healed in an instant.
The amount of heat was enough to make even a high school student fold one hand… … and the guys easily endured it.
“That’s ridiculous… … .”
There was no time to be pessimistic. The guys’ hairs stood out like hedgehogs and shot up into the sky.
What we thought would be arrow-like attacks came in an unexpected form.
Hundreds and thousands of wolves fell like rain. The purpose of the wolves, who could be called the avatars of lycanthropes, was beyond words.
The cadets, who had just woken up from the explosion, realized the gravity of the situation.
Cadets who could fight took up weapons, and those who had nothing to do with combat took refuge deep in the faculty building.
However, among those who gathered at the playground, there were few students who carried weapons.
Because it was rare for a cadet to have a special equipment that could be summoned at will like Crona.
In that helpless situation, Crona grabbed Jenny by the collar and shook her.
“Why on earth are you doing this! This isn’t the you I know!”
“… … .”
“But, your body… … .”
Jenny’s hands were cold. Crona flinched at the feeling of her body temperature, as if he had touched a refrigerator with his bare hands.
At that moment, two lycanthropes approached. It would be dangerous to get hit by their fists, but I couldn’t just abandon Jenny Chainsilver like this.
“Sunred!”
This time, as soon as the guy raised his fist, Sunred flew in and wrapped her wings around them.
Hwaruk – But it was pierced through without a fight.
“Ugh!”
“Keeeeeek!”
As his wings were pierced, Sunred disappeared with a scream, and Crona, who had been touched by the fist, fell limply.
I was able to survive thanks to the spirit’s shield, but I was bleeding heavily.
“krona…….”
The sight of her friend lying bleeding… …entered Jenny’s sight.
The surrounding body temperature dropped rapidly. Soon, the accumulated coldness burst out, breaking the shackles of reason.
Chorrrr!-
The Ice Age had arrived. The fan-shaped freeze swallowed both of them, and created an iceberg in the training grounds across the way.
A blizzard swept around her, freezing the wolves as they approached. They all had to stay away from Jenny, since there was no distinction between the two.
Now that the thread of reason has been severed, there is nothing that can stop the Silver Age.
Kwakjik! – Surprisingly, the guys rushed at me, breaking through the ice. Amazingly, they endured the blizzard and released electric shocks from their mouths.
However, even though his reason had flown away, he kicked off the ground and dodged, then froze their chests.
“asleep!”
And then he struck the frozen part with his wooden sword with all his might.
The aura was so vivid it looked like it was going to explode, and her venomous expression added to the eerieness.
Dismissed!-
Everything was broken. The ice that had bound them, and the wooden sword that had attacked them.
It was all just helpless.
Without even having time to grit her teeth and become angry… … Jenny was hit by a sudden punch and was sent flying.
“Ugh!”
Just like Crona, he rolled on the floor, bleeding.
Are they adapted to the cold? They survived being locked up multiple times during the Silver Age. They can’t be hurt like this.
This time the guys raised their awls. Another flashback occurred as I saw the weapon in front of me.
Will he die from being stabbed by that awl like his mother? Will he end up powerless and shameful, unable to avenge his grudge?
‘That can’t be. Absolutely not…!’
Jenny gritted her teeth. Rather than let it end like this, she would rather sacrifice herself and drag those bastards to hell.
The moment that thought took over my mind, a blizzard swept through the entire academy.
Dull and
A bloody storm formed by hatred embroidered the entire Academy.
“jenny!!”
At that moment, Mary Ludciel’s scream was heard, and a large-scale lightning spell was projected. It hit the lycanthrope that was trying to skewer Jenny, knocking it down.
I tried to use wind magic to increase my speed in order to get Jenny away, but another lycanthrope appeared and blocked my way. There was still one left next to Jenny!
“Get out of my way!”
If it was a guy blocking my way, I could have blown him away with a gust of wind magic… …but I was on the verge of being stabbed by an awl.
If I hadn’t been interrupted, I could have flown over and saved him in an instant. I tried to kick him now, but it was already too late.
About 5 centimeters of penetration.
“Crrrrr?”
The awl… … The guy’s arm stopped. Mary was bewildered by the sight, but she didn’t have to look at it for long.
“It’ll be a problem if you touch him!”
A fishing line as thick as a noose was tied around the guy’s arm.
When I turned my gaze to that path, I saw a fishing rod. The man holding it was Radon Crawler, a so-called conman.
“Hey friend!!~”
Mary’s eyes sparkled with excitement. I had three fishing rods in my arms.
It wasn’t just one fish that had its hands tied to the fishing line to match that number. The hands of the three fish that were trying to smear the blood of the cadets were blocked by the fishing line.
“Why are you breeding and causing trouble, you little beasts!!”
I raised my fishing rod with a shout. I swung it like a hammer at the guys that were launched into the sky, tangling them together.
Surviving as an Academy Fraudster
