Surprising Even Breathing

34 – Is it a crisis?

The monsters tilted their big heads and looked at Broa and the others.

When it finds its prey that has entered the demon realm, it approaches them while groaning happily.

“By the way, don’t monsters seem to appear a little more often?”

How many raids have you already had?

Broa was away from the academy special class students, and after going to school with Miel, he was afraid to take a break with his butt on a rock.

With such a question, he asks Miel.

“Ah, that is. This is because monsters react more sensitively to divine power. Since the attributes of magic are incompatible with each other, even the monsters will attack us much more aggressively when they see us priests or paladins.”

Miel answers Broa with a bright smile.

In the end, the explanation was that he was meeting monsters like this often because he was traveling with the members of the church.

After all, monsters are constantly flocking to them because of them, but Miel’s expression is calm.

“Isn’t that dangerous? The demons will keep coming?”

Broa looked around and widened her eyes.

If the 5th and 6th grade monsters continued to attack at this speed, even she couldn’t stand it.

“It will be fine. This is just an illusion, and our church will protect you.”

Miel said as he put his hands together as if in prayer.

A belief that could not be explained by calculation settled in her heart.

Just don’t panic in this situation.

Broa looked at her and nodded.

The saintess candidate who serves Goddess Reinatis was worthy of her name and maintained a bright and gentle smile even in front of monsters.

Gaining strength from that confidence and belief, she also lessened her worries and spurred the ground against the monsters.

“Broa-sama, please take over the left side!”

Paladin Gavin positions her.

It is typical for Broa and Gavin to protect the alchemist and Miel from left and right.

Broa nodded, saying he knew what Gavin said, and quickly stood in front of the monster, jumping up and cutting the enemy’s heart.

Push! Big!

When Broa’s sword pierced the magic stone exactly inside the heart and shattered its core, the Red Face Minotaur screamed and collapsed.

Her swordsmanship is sophisticated yet deadly.

Moving nimblely, avoiding the enemy’s attack, aiming for an opening.

Broa’s eyes, immersed in the situation, quickly grasped and analyzed the enemy’s next move and attack direction, and her bouncy body movements made it possible to attack faster than the enemy.

As soon as he defeated the Minotaur, he cut off the head of Poison Flower, which was spitting poison beside him, and counterattacked while avoiding the attack of the monkey-like monster with stretched legs.

Koo-wook, grasp, gee-ji-jik!

The tree of the demonic realm touched by the monster’s attack was crushed to one side, and blood splattered around it.

The sound of the sword slicing through the flesh echoed in all directions.

Churong!

A Class 5 grizzuli bear running from the left slammed Broa down with its paw.

Predicting the attack in advance, she evaded to the right and rather approached into Grizuly Bear’s arms.

Grizuly Bear’s magic stone is in his heart, so aim for the right timing and insert your sword into it.

Kwadeuk, koooooo…

When the magic stone was destroyed, Grizuli Bear groaned in a rigid state.

By the time Broa quickly recognized the status of her allies and was looking for the next opponent.

Suddenly, a terrifying fear came over me.

As if the entire ground had collapsed, her strength was waning, but for some reason a familiar feeling of pressure pressed against her skin.

She had been raising all her senses while fighting the enemy for a long time, and involuntarily lost her center of gravity as her legs trembled.

I was so frightened that I stumbled backwards powerlessly.

“Kyaaak!”

The grizzuli bear she had just destroyed the magic stone was slumping forward, stiff.

Dazed by another creepy being, her center of gravity was momentarily disturbed, and she was unable to avoid the falling Grizuly Bear.

If you make a mistake, you’re about to be crushed by a corpse.

The tufts of fur from the grizzly bears covering her face stopped right in front of her eyes.

Woo woo, sure. Koo Goo Goo!

Grizuly Bear’s corpse floated upwards and flew farther down the hillside.

“Hup!”

“Ahh…”

Gavin froze while holding a mace stained with the monster’s blood, and Miel, who had never lost his smile even in front of monsters, distorted.

The battlefield is seized with a sense of fear and becomes quiet.

The monsters lowered their heads and took shelter behind nearby bushes and leaves.

Demesis appeared in front of them before they knew it.

He lifted his gray hood from side to side and looked around, then looked at Broa and asked.

“Is it a crisis?”

Broa crouched down in surprise, eyes wide open.

I tilted my head to the side, not understanding his question.

Demesis raises his hand and scratches the back of his hood.

It’s kind of embarrassing.

“No, was it a crisis?”

I don’t know what you are asking.

*

“Me, me, me, me? What, Demesis?”

“okay. You looked like you were in trouble.”

“yes?”

Broa, who shrunk her body and became rabbit eyes.

She was freaking out about me.

I’m sure I helped because I felt like I was being attacked by a level 5 grizzly bear monster, but it’s in a much better condition than I thought.

“Wasn’t the monster attacking you earlier?”

“yes???”

Broa, who avoided Grizuly Bear’s front paws, appeared to be in danger as he was crushed by his body.

On the way to find Lurivien, Broa only found out and helped.

Assassins are precious, so you shouldn’t get hurt.

“It looked like being strangled by Grizzly Bear. I didn’t look closely.”

From the outside, it looked like she was in a dangerous state, but it must have been my mistake.

After getting rid of the grizzly bear with telekinesis, Broa actually killed the enemy.

The timing of this appearance is ambiguous?

I tried to help students in crisis and increase their liking, but it wasn’t a crisis.

“I, am I being beaten by Grizzly Bear?”

Broa asks if I don’t understand, pointing a finger at herself.

I just shook my head left and right because it was strange to explain the situation.

“It was fine. Anyway, take care of yourself.”

After giving a short hello, he soared into the air using telekinesis.

I’m going to go look for Lurivien as I originally intended.

As I passed by, I exploded all the illusions of the monsters who misled me.

When you finish venting your anger, the view from the front becomes open and pleasant.

On the other hand, Oscar and his friends, who were the first to form a group in the academy special class.

They were sitting on the floor checking their equipment after a battle.

You never know when the next battle will happen, so you always have to be prepared.

This illusion magic continues until all monsters are defeated or class time ends.

After wiping the blood and ooze from the sword with a cloth and checking the mana remaining in their bodies, they waited for the monsters to reappear.

“A talented woman from the Yuren Merchant, is that your real skill?”

Oscar, sitting on a stump and smoothing out his gear, looked back at the group and asked Chase, who was resting in the corner.

“yes? What are your skills?”

Chase turns her head at his question.

Picking her up in the middle of the group and asking.

“I think you were saving your strength when everyone else was fighting hard, but I don’t know if you’re simply saving yourself or if that’s just your skills.”

Oscar said with a cold look.

If you were a talented girl from the Yuren Merchant, you would invite her to the party because she was quite famous in the imperial city, but if she was like this, it wasn’t good for the team.

He felt that the magic that Chase showed off when fighting monsters was clearly at a beginner level.

“If you are lazy by yourself, what will become of us who were fighting hard in the vanguard? Why aren’t you fighting properly?”

Oscar asks Chase with cold eyes.

At his words, all the eyes of the party turn to her.

A swordsman from the Duke of Heylon, a knight from a noble family in the middle, and a wizard from the north.

The offspring of noble families were mainly party members here.

The eyes looking at Chase are cold.

“You seem to have misunderstood. I fought well.”

“I can’t believe it. The level of students in the special class of the academy is only about that? Make excuses that make sense.”

“Really. The magic I used earlier is my everything.”

Chase replied to Oscar in a high-pitched voice.

I don’t like this atmosphere where everyone interrogates her.

“Wasn’t the talented girl from the Yuren Merchant originally famous for being smart and talented in magic? I guess I’ve been hearing about that for quite some time?”

What Oscar was talking about was part of a rumor circulating in the Empire’s social circles.

Since childhood, Chase has been nicknamed “talented woman” because of her talent.

“But the magic you use is ordinary. It’s definitely not the talent of the genius girl I’ve been hearing about for a long time. It must be because you are deceiving me.”

Chase’s eyes twitched at the mention of talent.

Round glasses that come down slightly and become baggy.

She said, adjusting her glasses upwards.

“I didn’t lie. The magic I used wasn’t that low level either. You’re doing too much. Why are you humiliating me like this?”

“I was only telling the truth. You are lying.”

Oscar was not merciful to Chase.

never stop questioning

“Really, what would you do if that were all my skills? What if I fought to the best of my ability?”

“scram. Even if you were cheating on us, we don’t need you, and even if that’s all you have, our party doesn’t need you. Because the wizard already exists.”

He pointed to another aristocratic wizard joining the party.

The reaction that it is not enough to have Chase in the party because he is the same nobleman.

She trembled her arms as if she felt unfair at Oscar’s banquet.

“Oscar. But what disrespect is that to Lady? You can’t just get out of here, in this demonic world.”

The son of the Duke of Heylon demonstrated his chivalrous spirit and defended Chase.

No matter how phantom it is, if she went alone, she would face some kind of hardship in front of monsters.

“Lady, Kyward. Is this the banquet hall? Did we come to the academy to flirt with girls? The Magician is no joke. I think of this class as a real battle and am taking it seriously. Rather, it must be that woman joining the party and playing pranks.”

“Eh, personality. You are unkind, Mr. Oscar.”

“If you’re going to defend that woman, get out too.”

“It can’t be. I will be with Oscar.”

Kyward, who stepped out to help Chase for a while, also shut up at Oscar’s frosty attitude.

Chase, who was looking at them.

He grabbed his staff and turned around.

My arms were shaking as if it was unfair, but I stood upright and stepped forward.

The eyes of Oscar’s group, who were watching her from behind, gradually drifted away.

no one caught her

“Bad guys.”

Chase cursed at them and found another party.

I think she fought hard, but those unlucky nobles didn’t do their best for her.

Her family didn’t have a high position because they were attached to each other as nobles, and even within the family, Chase was just the daughter of a concubine.

She was famous for her magical talents as a child, but that’s all she has.

Since then, her magic power hasn’t increased, and she can only deal with beginner-level magic.

If you use intermediate or higher level magic, your magical power will run out soon.

That’s why I always save my mana.

Chase, unable to speak frankly, swallowed the depression.

She thought she was probably last in the academy’s special class.

Still, I wanted to somehow survive among these monsters and be recognized as a graduate.

I have to persevere and follow the class so as not to look weak as much as possible.

While I was walking through the demonic realm with all my strength, there was a movement in the surrounding bushes.

zuzuzz.

Bug-type monsters wriggle and approach Chase.

She wondered if she should fight or avoid it.

I was able to defeat them right away, but it seemed that other 5th and 6th grade dangerous monsters would appear as time passed while fighting the bug-type monsters.

Even if this was only an illusion, she didn’t want to die.

Even here, if you get hit by an attack, it hurts, and if you get torn by a monster, you get a mental shock.

I ran forward without dealing with the bug-type monsters.

Kiek!

A blue wyvern spots her running and chases after her flapping her wings in the sky.

“no!”

Surprised, she tried to increase her running speed, but the wyvern was faster.

As she was chased by the Wyvern, other monsters also caught up with her.

“Is it a crisis?”

It was then.

The flying wyvern landed on the ground, and the bug-type monsters dug holes in the ground and hid.

A suffocating pressure grips her.

Demesis walking peacefully.

He walks near Chase and watches the game everywhere.

“Or were you playing with the monsters? I don’t know.”

He never feels threatened in a place like this.

I didn’t know myself, so I asked Chase’s feelings instead.
