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

29 – Episode 29 Heroes always appear late. (3)

No, it’s cool, but what about lilacs?

The sight of a giant centipede’s head exploding is quite powerful and really cool, but when my sister comes out of there, what happens to the build-up I was doing until just now?

That’s fucking embarrassing.

Anyway, it was different from what I expected, but there was no doubt that a reliable ally had arrived.

Jin Kyeong-tae seemed surprised by her inaction for a moment, but she soon regained her composure.

“Have I told you before? Professor Cathy says you’d better pack some weapons. Even so, what if you catch a poisonous insect with your bare hands? Even if you strengthen your body with magic, there must be a limit.”

“Can you afford to worry about me right now?”

“To be honest, I was surprised, but Professor Cathy is good at strengthening her body, but her talent for shaping magic is lacking. You won’t be able to last very long with your unstable self-defence?”

Self-defense gi 護身剛气 To put it simply, it is a defense technique that surrounds one’s body with solidly condensed energy to block low-level attacks.

Even in the setting, it was written that Cathy was able to strengthen her body with her magic without any problems, but lacked the ability to release energy and maintain it for a long time.

But she didn’t waver in the slightest from that point, and just looked at the enemy in front of her and held out her fist.

“If you are confident.”

“…Yes?”

“Don’t make a lot of noise and come in. Jin Kyung-tae.”

Question and answer dance.

No, Shiba noona, why are you so cool?

“I used to be confident in the way people see me, but seeing that I got it wrong twice today, it doesn’t seem like that.”

Innumerable poisonous insects filling the ceiling and walls made their eyes shine.

“You will pay the price for that arrogance. I’ll subdue you and finish the class with the cadets in front of you.”

“Really, even if I lose, there is no such thing as that. The Villain Arrest Team will arrive soon. More than anything.”

Pain—!

As she stretched out her fist, she heard something pop.

“You won’t be able to beat me before then.”

Immediately after that, numerous bugs turned into black waves and rushed towards us.

The cadets screamed, but Cathy just laughed and told them she was okay.

Somehow, I remembered her when I entered her dungeon with her a month ago, but now she was different.

Bewildered by the overwhelming numbers, she was no longer injured by the goblins.

Just quickly and concisely, reducing meaningless movements to the limit, knocking down the closest monster.

One move doesn’t just end with one move, but the appearance of getting ready for the next move is the ideal martial arts poomsae she pursues, and the steady movements coming out of her solid lower body are a symbol of her efforts.

Her martial arts, which had attained a kind of enlightenment and had begun to go beyond her originally permitted realm, had realized her own ideals and was approaching her perfection.

Even if you take a step back, don’t panic and don’t spill.

Perhaps she is now thinking of her cadets behind her own.

“Cadet Kang So-hyun…!”

“Yes?”

Uh, why are you calling me here all of a sudden?

“It’s okay this time. Never use your talents.”

Ah, that’s why.

It seems like he’s worried that I’ll think I’m dangerous and use my talent, just like when I was hunting goblins.

“Yes. Professor.”

No, you are doing so overwhelmingly well, why do I use my talent?

“Don’t use it…! I made it clear!”

Because I don’t use it…?

*

From the outside, it seems that the balance of power has been achieved, and rather, it seemed to be advantageous to Jin Kyung-tae as Cash was pushed out little by little, but the reality was completely different.

Jin Kyeong-tae already predicted that he would be defeated in some form.

Even at a glance, Professor Cathy’s level was much higher than the last time I saw it.

No matter how many poisonous insects he had, there was a limit to the number, and at this pace, it would be a little faster for the poisonous insects to be annihilated than to reach the cadets.

Even if her miracle happens and she makes her mistake, Jiang Su-hyeon will still stand behind her, so in the end her support will arrive first.

A person who appears at the moment of crisis and reassures the people and breaks the crisis.

Since the woman in front of me right now is definitely called a hero, it would be safe to say that she lacks nothing.

Considering that most of those who are called heroes in the world are full of vanity devoured by her desire to show off, or move for self-interest, she was definitely a good person for an adult.

That’s why she didn’t like it.

“I don’t like it.”

What on earth do you not like?

Is it a twisted resentment about why such a hero did not come to him, who was unhappy in his childhood, or is it simply a dissatisfaction with the hero who tried to interfere with his desire that he barely revealed.

No, neither.

“What do you think would be different if you saved the cadets now?”

Anyone who gets irritated for such a normal reason wouldn’t commit such a crazy crime in the first place.

“Even if they survive now, the future of the cadets is bleak. Someone will be betrayed and fall into despair, and someone will betray and become a dirty adult. The cadet who became a real hero because he admired you will die on the spot in a very small accident, and even if he survives, he will be looked upon with rebuke and fear rather than gratitude.”

Yes.

He is a strong-willed idiot who believes that he is really right, so he believes that dying now is at least a salvation for the students.

To him, Cassie was just a hindrance to the win-win relationship between the cadet and himself.

“If you die from my venom, you will have hallucinations. You can die without pain or suffering. It will always be remembered in my mind as a child. Why are you interfering?”

It sounded crazy to anyone, but at least he firmly believed that what he said was right.

“I won’t let you get in the way. Yes, just a few, but I will not let my precious students go out into the dirty world.”

I looked at the vial that was on the floor while controlling the poisonous insect.

“Hey Professor Cathy, you know what?”

She didn’t answer, but that didn’t matter anymore.

“The vial that sealed loneliness can actually be unlocked remotely. It’s just a gourd, except for the one I’m suppressing with my magic.”

She ignored it.

I don’t know how strong his solitude was, but he didn’t think he was at a level that he couldn’t stop with desperate determination.

“Yes, it is. How strong can the solitude I created be? I know very well. I have no intention of taking you either.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the vial that had fallen on the floor cracked and soon a small spider crawled out of the vial that was shattered into pieces.

“By the way. There are ways to take other cadets, if not you.”

Jin Kyung-tae held out her arm toward the spider running toward her.

The spider clung to his arm and devoured his magical energy.

“This room is full of the corpses of poisonous insects you killed, and now, as a sorcerer, solitude will devour my magical powers and its venom.”

As if to prove his words, the energy from the centipede and poisonous insects began to gather in the spider.

“No matter how insignificant it is, it is loneliness that has consumed all of one person’s mana and the poison of hundreds of monsters.”

An ominous smile hung on Jin Kyung-tae’s lips.

“How many people here right now can withstand the poison that will explode when this loneliness explodes?”

“Ugh…!? You…!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cathy’s face finally showed her nervousness.

She improved a bit from before, but she still wasn’t confident in releasing her magical energy.

At least right now, I wouldn’t be able to show self-defense to the level of protecting all the cadets.

“You finally see that expression distort. Professor Cathy. Personally, I don’t hate people like you, but this time it was a little too annoying. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been enjoying classes with the cadets more elaborately and happily by now. To think it had to end this way.”

The six red eyes of the spider that sucked poison and mana to the limit began to shine.

It is trying to grow by accumulating magic power to the limit, but Jin Kyung-tae did not see it.

The magic inside the spider monster was deliberately run out of control.

The monster whose mana ran out of control began to struggle with an unpleasant sound.

“Stop it! Jin Gyeong-tae!”

“Have you ever seen a villain stop saying that? Do you have any regrets there? You didn’t keep anything, and in the end you’ll find out I was right!”

Professor Cathy knocked down another poisonous insect in despair, and Jin Kyung-tae burst into laughter.

The moment when the cadets recall their future through conversations so far and are about to scream in fear.

“Fucking.”

The voice spread so clearly there.

“I fell asleep.”

The light was so brilliant that it lit up the dark classroom.

Kang So-hyun.

The sphere of light that floated in his hand was so brilliant that it was enough to make the villain feel threatened.

“Sohhyun-ah, no!”

Only Cathy, who knew what the light was made of, cried out in concern for him, but he didn’t even pretend to listen.

“What? Can’t you keep anything? Are you right after all? You are really fucking.”

“Cadet Kang So-hyun. I’ve had quite a bit of trouble with you, but your ability is an enhancement type. It’s surprising that you can’t only strengthen when defending against an opponent’s attack, but if you try to strengthen Professor Cash now, you’ll be able to do what you were originally bad at. Oh, just in case, even if you kill loneliness, you can’t stop the poison from spreading. Or are you trying to stop it yourself?”

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“I told you. There was no such thing as a good-looking scoundrel with a long tongue.”

“This is a bit futile for a last will.”

Ha.

“Because you talk like that, you are a third-rate villain. You idiot.”

The body of the spider that reached its limit swelled up.

“Fuck. Why are you so late…!”

Breaking through the broken door was the person he had been waiting for.

A warm-hearted man with brown hair.

“That’s poison gas! Stop it quickly! Lilac!”

“Uh…!?”

Lilac, the main character of this novel, who arrived late, and Hani Kang and Lee Yu-na, who went to pick him up at my request.

There was an unexpected face, but it was not important.

The moment the spider exploded and spewed poison, the boy’s sword hurriedly drew out a golden light.

*

It’s late.

The light of the holy sword Lilac uses has the power of purification, so it can overcome poison, but the poison itself is so powerful, and the spider’s explosion is slightly faster than pulling out the sword.

Not all will die, but one or two will, and many will be poisoned.

At this rate, Lilac will lose her friend right in front of him, and he will reprimand him for not being late enough to save him.

But of course that doesn’t happen.

Because making sure that doesn’t happen is what I’m here for.

The power of reinforcement he had prepared in advance dwelled in his holy sword.

The efficacy was certain as it extracted most of the innate jingi remaining in Ganghwa.

In an instant, the light emitted by his holy sword became even more brilliant and erased the poison that burst out.

When the light of the holy sword, which does not forgive any evil, cuts through the dark night and burns all poison.

“…This is crazy.”

Jin Kyung-tae’s expression distorted.

Looks good. It’s this kid

If you had a trump card, you should have used it a long time ago.

The image of our secret friend subduing Jin Kyung-tae caught my eye.

“Sohhyun! What is all this about!”

“I was wondering why he suddenly ran out, what is this…”

After confirming that the situation had been sorted out, Lilac freed the hostages and asked me.

Well, it’s not a big deal.

The moment he opened his mouth to lightly explain the incident.

“Keah…!”

A hard, red thing flowed from his mouth.

Rather than hemoptysis, a large amount of blood was spilled to the extent that it would be appropriate to call it phyto.

Uh, did you fucking overdo it? Aren’t you sick?

“Hey…! Why are you like this!?”

“Sohhyun! Are you okay!?”

“Cadet Sohyeon…! Sohyeon…! So why…!”

From top to bottom, Professor Lilac Cash was in order.

No, it’s better than I thought.

“Cool, cool…! Coheh…!”

No, it doesn’t stop like it’s shiva-sare, but it’s really okay.

Perhaps the day had passed before I knew it, Resurrection was quickly recovering the lost innate vitality, and the will of the saint also returned to reinforce resilience.

I think it would have been a real big deal if the timing was a bit late, but now it’s really okay.

“Kuhhh…!”

“What can I do…! The blood won’t stop!”

Even the reason why I didn’t care if it wasn’t a lilac was wrinkled, as if it looked quite serious.

No, damn, am I really okay?
