The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 6: Entrance exam ruined (2)

* * *

Virtual World (VW) monitoring desk 3 teams.

The only person in the situation room, the word team, was a man with a slight hair loss.

He was dozing off without even being monitored.

Beep beep.

Loud machine sounds.

Louis, who had been dozing off because of that, was startled and came to his senses.

“What, what?”

Sweep, wipe your spit, stand up and look towards the entrance.

First of all, the worst was avoided in that the boss hadn’t visited.

I then turned my attention to the VW surveillance system.

Several screens are reflected in each section, but the screen with the red light on.

There were letters written under it.

[Article 37, Great Demon War ─ Wave 1]

The red light comes on when there is an obvious error.

Lewis studied the screen carefully.

“Damn… this?”

I found something inconsistent.

Asmodians flowing down the wall in blood.

And ‘Wave 1’.

This was not a situation that matched the text.

For that situation to occur, ‘Wave 3’ has to come out.

Is Lewis conscripted from the Mage Tower? Being a skilled magician, he has been conducting test supervision here every year.

That’s why I clearly knew that a situation like that would only be created when the Master intervened.

“… But why now?”

Why?

… That an error occurred.

Moment. The image of the old master shouting out loud was replayed in my mind.

A feeling of tightness in the back.

‘f*cked!’

I think I was f*cked because of some emotional feeling.

An article in the Imperial Newspaper just came to mind. ‘The slaves of the Mage Tower who were conscripted didn’t do the job of supervising the test properly and ruined the honor of the Water Light Mage Tower by dozing off.’ And the main character was Luis with shiny hair?

“Uh, what should I do?”

My monthly salary, which is not much, will be cut even more with this excuse.

In addition, promotions may be missed.

Maybe I could be cast as a slave to the Magic Tower for the rest of my life.

It was unfair.

Of course, as supervisor, John Gunn is wrong.

However, the working environment was so trash that I couldn’t help it.

I didn’t sleep for several hours last night because of overwork.

But there was no way that excuse would work.

“This, for now… !”

No matter what, I had to overcome this situation.

Let’s find out the cause. What is the problem.

“The master intervened in the first wave.”

Why did such a problem occur?

“A bug exploded.”

Then where is the bug now?

Lewis quickly turned the 37 trillion screen.

Because he knew all the NPCs, he naturally knew the existence of all the Masters that appeared.

But no matter how many times I turn it, the existence of the Master cannot be confirmed.

“No?”

Master left a knife and left?

There was no such scenario.

Then is this a bug of a bug?

“Oh yes!”

Lewis had an idea flashing through his head.

You can turn the screen.

Why couldn’t I have thought of that stupidly?

‘Ah… A lot of brain cells must have died from lack of sleep.’

Immediately, another screen popped up next to it and the video at the time of the incident was played.

In the video, a dark-haired student jumped into the air.

He swung his sword lightly, and then the demons were erased.

“Huh?”

I didn’t understand for a moment even after watching it.

I went back to see if I was wrong.

After looking at the screen for only about 10 seconds, I couldn’t help but admit it.

I didn’t see it wrong.

When I zoomed in, I saw 1,378 test takers.

He slaughtered over a thousand demons with one sword.

But that can’t be explained unless you’re a master.

“… Is the student a master? Are you only twenty years old?”

But that makes no more sense.

Except for the mythical founding emperor a thousand years ago, no human being has ever become a master at the age of 20.

Besides, myths tend to be exaggerated.

Even in the middle of it, the examinee was acting unexpectedly in real time.

It is to leave the castle and go somewhere while breaking through the demons who filled the plains.

“He… What are you doing?”

The test is to block the waves of demons.

I have never heard or seen a case of breaking through the castle.

That’s also true, because the siege of the demons surrounding the castle was extremely thick.

“Ah… “

However, with a single stroke of the knife that the examinee swung, the road opened as if the sea were splitting.

And the way…

“Demon King… ?”

It led to the Devil Castle.

Looking at the examinee, Lewis muttered stupidly.

“… Uh. I think I should tell the manager about this?”

I didn’t have time to be like this.

* * *

I like this virtual world quite a bit.

It was like that in that I could use my strength coolly.

I poured my sword energy forward with the momentum to test my output, and in the aftermath, a road to the demon castle was created.

Is it a road made by demons dying? Should I say

Anyway, it was a long road.

“Wow. How cool is that?”

It is not common for Rossy to express such carefree sentiments after seeing such a terrible situation.

Or, since this world is a virtual world, it could be a carefree sentiment.

Actually, I’ve only thought about going to pick up the Mawang Ttukbaegi, but it’s unclear if it will actually happen.

In fact, the demon king may not exist in the demon castle.

However, it is worth looking at.

Then, isn’t it just a matter of coming back and blocking the wave?

Besides, it was fun more than anything.

Exercising your skills without being bold.

“Run!”

“Yes.”

So I ran.

To be precise, it flew.

The floor was covered with blood and intestines, so I was reluctant to step on it, so I moved by lifting my body about 30cm off the ground.

It looked like it was about tens of kilometers to the demon castle.

If you run at 100 km/h, it will take about 20 minutes.

But Rossi is too slow.

Did I bring it for nothing?

“Eugene! They’re coming around us!”

“I know.”

Anyway, until the 2nd wave starts, they are all low-level demons.

There are very few intermediate level demons.

So let’s call it a siege net,

[Suddenly]

It’s so bad that it can be kicked off with just one swing of the sword.

“Wow! Nice!”

Noticing the change, a guy who looks stronger than a mid-level demon from a distance quickly flies this way.

Looked like a high-ranking demon.

He landed in front of me and tried to say something.

“Human… “

I just swung my sword.

[Squeak—-.]

As expected, he couldn’t even react.

It’s quite embarrassing to have a conversation with a high-ranking demon who is not even a master.

Rossi tilted his head.

“Wow… That looked strong. Wasn’t it?”

“Yes. I was weak.”

The siege seems to be about 1km in radius.

But if you go beyond that, it will be a one-way street to the Devil’s Castle.

In that case, wouldn’t it be better to run with full force for a while and get away?

“Hey. Rossi.”

“Huh?”

I thought about it for a while. Up or not?

Both of them are uncomfortable.

Then let’s skip the options.

“Do you want to go up? Would you like to hug me?”

“Ah… ? Huh?”

“Quickly.”

“That… if so I wonder if… ?”

“Why are you slurring your words? It’s not a strange intention, so don’t misunderstand.”

I immediately concentrated my magic and drew my sword horizontally as if I were kicking.

The wave of magic extends out and erases the demons that were besieging them.

“Come on.”

“Well, then… !”

Something… It was a bit awkward to twist my body, but I ignored it and hugged Rossi.

I immediately sprinted with all my might towards the open front.

“Kyaaa

“Something. Quietly.”

“You should have given a signal.”

I can hear Rossy’s voice strangely stretched because I’ve been running at a speed close to the speed of sound for a while.

Thanks to that, I broke through the encirclement in only ten seconds.

Rossi’s body, which had not reached the master level, could be overpowered even at this speed, so he slowed down as carefully as possible and stopped.

Fault.

“Get off.”

“… !”

Looking at it, my eyes are spinning around.

My heart is still beating.

I waited for a while because it seemed that I was still distracted by the extreme speed experience.

Actually, it was worth it.

The distance we came from was quite far from the demons.

At least about 3kg? In that short period of time, I moved about 4 kilometers.

Rosi’s focus returned to a certain degree of calm.

“Poetry, it was a new world… !”

“Is that so?”

“Eugene, what the hell are you?”

“What is it?”

I feel a little proud.

I already answered in my heart. To the extent of ‘Am I a bit hot?’.

But let’s manage our facial expressions.

You don’t look good when you’re smug about things like this.

“No big deal.”

“hehehehe. You are humble, Eugene.”

Praise me more Ningen!

“Hmmm. Done Now let’s walk slowly. To stir.”

I pointed to the castle with a calm voice.

If a man pulls out a sword, isn’t it better to cut down a demon king?

In the founding myth, the first emperor carried an iron sword and broke the earthenware pot of the demon king.

Rather than being overconfident, it didn’t seem like the Demon Lord embodied in this virtual world would be stronger than the Master.

The Archmage is not as strong as the Master, so there’s no way they can create a demon lord stronger than me.

Besides, even if you die here, you don’t actually die.

We leisurely walked toward the castle.

The demon army surrounding the castle didn’t seem to have any intention of retreating even though we were heading towards the castle.

Looking at it, I could definitely feel that this place was not real, but VW.

As we were walking leisurely toward the Demon Castle, Rossi started talking.

Words like ‘I was so fast that I was distracted’, ‘I saw you in the castle earlier and you were amazing’, ‘I thought you were weak at first’. He gave a casual nod of his head.

Actually, it wasn’t bad to hear because there were subtle compliments mixed in.

Then she asked me a little out of the blue question.

“Yoo Jin-ah. Even if there is a difference in status and ability, can we still be friends?”

What are you asking for the obvious?

“Between friends, I don’t care about things like that in the first place.”

“hehehehe…. I’m glad.”

First of all, it was admirable that he praised me, so I have to give him a passing grade.

“What do you think is difficult? If you just like to hang out together, that’s your friend.”

But you’re a bit timid, kid.
