chapter 28
28. I will go ahead myself
“We have arrived! Here it is, Caseus Academy!”
Looking at the towering fortresses in the rich nature in the distance, Tia jumped up and down.
“hehehe, wait, wait! I think I need to slow down a bit!”
Yuri hurriedly exclaimed. Luca was still pedaling in the realm of invisible speed.
Luca finally stopped his legs, but the airship’s propellers didn’t stop because of their inertia.
“Is it still running?”
“It’s good that it hasn’t been broken yet….”
“Ugh, hey! There’s a barrier! Collide!”
Aisha was taken aback. The barrier of a large dome-shaped translucent honeycomb structure was approaching in an instant.
“I’ll pierce it first!”
“No! That’s a declaration of war… !”
―Quaaang!
The fireball shot by Tia made a huge hole in the barrier. The airship shoots through the hole and flies like a bullet.
“f*cked. A large-scale attack will come.”
All four looked down on deck.
However, unlike Aisha, who was frightened, the three of Luca, Tia, and Yuri couldn’t hide their excitement and their eyes twinkled.
“Wow! Look below! Very pretty….”
“Oh, really. It’s a strange landscape… !”
Cliffs rise between gushing waterfalls, lakes and snow-covered plains that have become canvases with superb views in the forest.
Yuri forgot even her fear of heights and stared at the fairy-tale-like picture enthralled.
“Look at those castles over there. Which dormitory will we be staying in?”
“It has already passed.”
“Too fast! Heh, master was just there somewhere too?”
“Yes, there must have been!”
The three of Luca, Tia, and Yuri took turns looking at the academy and each other, then burst into laughter when they realized that they were thinking the same thing.
“Guys! Barrier, barrier!!”
Looking back at Aisha’s urgent cry, I was already approaching the boundary barrier on the other side of the academy territory.
“The performance is so good.”
This time Luca pulled out her sword. She stood at the stern of the airship and started coiling it around the end with an aura.
Luka’s hair, which was originally blue, began to glow and take on the bright azure color of her sapphire.
Frost forms around her sword, which has a thin blade close to that of a rapier, and generates cold air close to absolute zero.
“Hoi.”
Woo-wook Shu― Loud Changchang!!
As Luka swiftly shoots his sword, the outer boundary of the territory, which the academy’s 5th-tier wizards have been putting together and repairing for the past three years, is pierced like a spider’s web.
― Wet love liquid!
An airship that once again slips out of the barrier. Tia and Yuri hurriedly ran to the back of the airship.
“Oh, the academy is moving away!”
“Sister, return the bow quickly!”
“It will turn, really!”
Aisha clenched her teeth and pulled as hard as she could on the ropes attached to the mast and tail fins.
The speed of the airship slows down and rotates greatly. I head back to the academy and rush at high speed.
“Oh, there are more barriers.”
Luca put her hand on her eyebrow and looked away. In the meantime, several more dome-shaped barriers were being installed around the hole.
“Wow, that’s a bit high-level, isn’t it? It’s the kind that needs a break. Why did you come out all of a sudden?”
“It’s because you guys break it as you please! Are you stupid?! You should be able to walk downstairs!”
“Oh, I see. Shall we go to the ground now?”
“Let’s do it.”
The three jumped off the airship in an instant without further questioning.
― Flutter, flutter, flutter……
Aisha looked down blankly at the ground, listening to the sound of their clothes.
“Me?”
Above the airship at an altitude of 400 meters, 7 seconds before the collision with the barrier.
Sword Saint Aisha forcibly raised the corners of her mouth, firmly believing that the three of them were joking.
***
“… In response, 93 students of the 378th class of Caseus Academy swear under the name of the Goddess that they will seek the truth and train hard! The representative of the 378th freshmen Declares it here!”
A tall young man raised a beacon in moderation and lit a huge brazier on the platform. As if to symbolize the academy’s future, the entire stadium is brightly lit up.
A thin streak of white light fell from the sky above it. It was the blessing of the goddess.
― Ohhh!
The audience that filled the stadium cheered and applauded enthusiastically.
The Colosseum is the main stadium of the magnificent academy. Numerous audience seats were packed with people from all over the human world.
With the representative student at the head, the freshmen who have been standing in rows in each dormitory leave.
Originally, the entrance ceremony should have ended simply here.
The president didn’t even give an instructive speech under the pretext of being the academy of the goddess. Actually, it was because he was annoying.
[…] Next, I will introduce the faculty of Caseus Academy!]
After a few more steps, the priest with a good voice shouted through amplification magic. Now it was time for me to get ready.
[A coffin of water that explores beyond the truth while exploring beautiful knowledge! Chair Professor in Charge !]
Pelia, a halfling dressed in a wizard outfit, stepped into the arena. It was a little funny that the cloak was dragging on the floor.
However, the next time she saw her, she couldn’t pass it up with a smile. The sight of her swinging her wand and instantly building six main magic circles and connecting them made her title as a sage worthless.
“Ohh….”
“Casting the 6th level in this short time….”
“As expected, he is a Chair Professor at Caseus!”
Pelia showed off her 6th tier magic weather manipulation. The dry sky became cloudy, thunder and lightning struck, and the next moment all the clouds disappeared as if they had been scooped out with a ladle, and sunlight came in.
“Ohhh!”
“Is this the sage’s magic!”
“Amazing!”
The audience was satisfied and applauded. It was a no-frills demonstration. Visually, it was easy to understand and had a strong impact, so I thought I chose the type of magic well.
Then, Mulan and Band also showed their special skills by demonstrating healing and fighting skills. Applause and cheers from the audience followed.
Full professors and associate professors from other affiliates also gave brief demonstrations.
Finally, it was my turn as a rookie.
[The Coffin of Earth that pursues education that broadens one’s horizons through various cultures and utilization techniques! Chair Professor in charge [!]
I walked out into the arena proudly. Unsurprisingly, whispers came from the audience.
“What is your job?”
“Isn’t that what I said wrong?”
“A slave trader is a chair professor?”
Take a step and stand in the center of the arena. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on me.
“Ha, what can a slave trader without feats show? First Class Slave? It’s crap, crap.”
Pelia returned to the bleachers and was enjoying herself. My students in the waiting room beyond the entrance door also looked anxious.
“Item box.”
I reached into the black hole that appeared in the air and took out the object. It is a small treasure chest that fits in the palm of your hand. He tossed it vigorously over his head.
― Paaang!
The treasure chest opens and a splendid fireworks display begins. Everyone’s eyes were directed there.
“No, that… ?!”
“Ohh… !!”
The warehouse opens.
An antique golden door that appeared in the air with fireworks. When it was opened, treasures began to appear in rows one by one with a brilliant light inside.
The first, [Crown of the Saint].
“Nonsense! Why is that crown in a place like this! Even though the Bible says that only those who deserve it can own it!”
The envoy of the Holy Spirit Kingdom, who found out what it was, widened his eyes and screamed.
I didn’t intend to give myself a long break to admire, so I moved on to the next step. [Heart of the Mythic Dragon] Was taken out of the warehouse.
“Oh, have you ever subdued one of the Mythic Dragons… ! I can’t believe it! If that heart falls into the hands of someone other than the one who defeated the dragon, it will immediately rot!”
A warrior from the Dwarven Kingdom, who is familiar with dragons, is in awe.
Then he continued to introduce treasures such as [The Twelfth Ring] And [The Breastplate of the First Guardian].
All of these are mythical items and items that can prove special qualifications just by owning them.
Getting it was easy.
The strategy was written on the wiki.
Most of the items I’m showing you are items that I ‘just have’ and are not ‘belonged’ to me.
I used strategies close to the shortcuts on the wiki. Even the heart of the mythical dragon was not obtained by subjugating it. How do i catch a dragon
I often collected mythical items that could be obtained through such an expedient way while working as a trader, wondering if there would be anything to use them for. I had time to travel all over the continent.
Mythic level items can’t be effective unless you have 5 ranks. In other words, it’s all real trash.
The reason I didn’t change it to money is simple.
It was because there was no way to spend it even if there was more money, and as a baron, more than 90% of the tax was taken away from large transactions. Even if you engage in black trade, if you reach the level of Shinhwa, you will be tracked down somehow.
The Empire never does anything good.
Still, it’s not the best for boasting like this.
“As expected, all chair professors at the academy are transcendental people….”
“What are you doing to have a slave trader on your name tag, even though you’ve made achievements like that?”
“There is no doubt that he is an unusual person.”
“Hmph, but he must be a slave trader!”
The audience was agitated. Suffice. It was judged that showing more would be a loss.
As I clench my fists, the treasures went back into the warehouse, shrunk to the size of a small treasure chest, and came into my hand. I just tossed it into the item box.
This should be enough. I turned and went back to the waiting room.
[Next, let’s start the dormitory festival! The first match is a showdown between the Crown of Water and the Crown of Wind! Jwukang, enter the Water Hall!]
“Shifu! You showed off your might!”
When I went back to the waiting room, I saw , A one-armed concept man, putting his palms together with his right hand.
I was waiting because I was selected as a member for today’s festival.
“It was nothing. Are you feeling well?”
“Excellent!”
Hsu made a clicking sound by striking the beads on her wrist.
“Professor, would it be all right if I were here? I’m also a bit worried….”
Armed with her heavy armor, Said nervously. He was perfectly dressed for a tournament, not a festival.
“Of course. Is the window the right length?”
“Yes, I did the measurements as you told me. It took two seconds for my wrist to fall off like this by attaching my elbow to my waist and lifting the tip.”
“Exactly.”
“But I’ve never been on a horse before….”
“Enough. Trust your senses.”
“It’s a sensation. Let’s do something.”
“Hmm, there are many good warriors in both the Water and Wind Crowns! Looking forward to it! By the way, Shifu, which cadet is the third warrior of our land’s coffin?”
“I am not a student.”
“Yes? And what?”
A question appeared on the faces of Xiehua and Marc. I answered lightly.
“Everyone has already gathered.”
“Yes?”
“The condition for participating in the festival is ‘the number of new people entering the dormitory this year.'”
“Huh? Shifu, that means.”
I smiled lightly at Xiehua and Mark.
“The third is me.”
