The Golden Sun of the Academy

Episode 84

erosion(4)

ah······. It was a dream.

Kanghyuk rubbed his eyelids for a long time as he gazed at the white ceiling that could barely be seen.

Never had such a terrible nightmare. never want to go through that again

Because it was shock and fear.

The room-sized figure of the golden sun in the dream and his own screams.

I was aware that it was an absurd situation, but I wasn’t aware that it was a dream… … .

It was really bad.

It was possible because everything was a nightmare.

The terrible times were fortunately over. back to reality

Dreams are usually compared to sweet things… … .

… … Why was it so terrible? Did the subconsciousness inside me feel that way?

Let’s not think any further than this.

I shook my head softly to blow away the fragments of the dream that remained in my head.

I hated it to the point of shuddering at the fact that even the smallest fragments remained.

[Tongue, Hyukah! Woke up?!]

Against the background of Yeriel’s embarrassed words, I pulled my upper body up off the bed.

The thin, white patient blanket slipped down.

It seemed that Yeriel’s trembling voice conveyed the inner side of her that she cared so much for him.

[Where are you uncomfortable?]

“uh······.”

Contrary to what he said, there was no pain anywhere in his body.

His limbs were weak, as if he had been beaten with every threshing, and a headache hit his head.

The very center of the palms and soles of the feet felt damp and throbbing, probably from accumulated fatigue.

There was even a slight tingling sensation in both hands.

This is… … Where are you?

Leaving my sharp neck behind, I turned my head and looked around, the sharp scent of alcohol stinging my nose mercilessly.

White curtains and white blankets. It was only when he saw the hospital bed at a certain distance from the smell of alcohol that stung his nose that Kanghyuk knew where he was.

“Yeriel, this is… … Is it the infirmary?”

[Uh, it’s the infirmary. I’m glad, I’m awake.]

It was hard to guess her location from the voice that resonated directly in my head.

That’s why I always traced the waist where Yeriel was.

uh? doesn’t exist?

A nightmare immediately flashed into my mind.

No matter how dreamy it is, the dream stuck in my brain right before was so intense that it was a vivid memory.

Anxiety crept over his whole body. The nightmare I had just seen was still vividly etched in my head, so I started groping like crazy without realizing it.

no way… … ? Oh, fortunately you are fine. Well, I heard a voice, but it couldn’t have gone far… … .

My grip tingled as I grabbed the sheath of Yeriel right next to me.

The pain in the palm of his hand instilled even more force into the fact that this place was real.

dreams are illusions It’s just so fortunate that it’s time to come back to reality.

Kang Hyuk let out a deep sigh at the relief that relaxed his whole body.

[So who would do something so reckless?]

“I know… … Why?”

Thanks to Yeriel who spat out a stinging tip, a bitter smile was built on its own.

Looking back, it was certainly reckless.

No matter how much they say they have magic protection, they openly rush at the spear that they wield so openly.

The final shock was not a magical protection, but a blow that would literally have been fatal if it had been in the field.

The answer he spat out to Yeriel’s question was close to a question. That was also what Kanghyuk asked himself.

‘Why did I do that? What was it for?’ Looking back, the answer didn’t come right away.

[oh my… … , this burn. When I asked to show you something, you’re overdoing it. I can’t live.]

“hahahaha-. sorry.”

Kanghyuk scratched the back of his head at Yeriel’s words as if he was dizzy.

Still, the thought that I had accomplished something made me smile and the corners of my lips went up.

Does this seem like the result of your hard work?

With my hard work and Yeriel’s help, it’s easy to reach the top ranks.

I even made it to the finals, and I felt a sense of accomplishment from being able to prevail instead of being pushed back in a clash with the opponent.

The moment she smiles and looks down at Yeriel.

Oddly enough, there was something that bothered me.

No, it was a scene that jumped out too much to be called annoying.

“Yeriel… … ?”

[…] … uh? Tongue, Hyukah why?]

Kanghyuk, who suddenly caught the mood, quickly glanced up and down at Yeriel.

The background bed cover is pure white. In addition, Yeriel’s original color was pure white, so there was nothing to stand out at all.

Even if there was something to stand out here and now, the gold color, the splendid pattern on the surface of Yeriel’s scabbard, should have stood out.

But not now.

The golden color engraved on the scabbard lost its color due to hand stains and dirt left in places.

I raised my sights over the scabbard and looked at the handle.

The dark red blood that had dried up on the handle of the pure white sword penetrated deeply into Kanghyuk’s eyes.

My heart seemed to stop.

* * *

“Yeriel… … ?”

[…] … uh? Tongue, Hyukah why?]

Kang Hyuk’s question, which suddenly raises the tension, made Yeriel stiff. His voice trembled.

He was like this sometimes. There are things that feel natural when we talk.

I don’t know what kind of past I’ve lived with, but whenever I have a serious sense of victimization or delusion, I sink endlessly.

I don’t know what happened unless I heard it properly afterwards, but it was quite serious.

Especially when dealing with talented guys, or talking about something he judged as his own, Kanghyuk’s mood became serious.

You should speak well from now on.

That was the only thought in Yeri’s head. I’m sure I didn’t do anything wrong… … .

… … What if Kang Hyuk, who secretly relies on himself and shows possessiveness, finds out about this?

In the image, Yeriel shook her head.

He came to his senses in the middle and ended up with an attempt, but no matter how much he thought about it, it was certain that the grooming of the golden sun was to deny his own existence.

No matter how you think about it, it’s okay to hide this.

It seems that he was seduced by the damn scent of Jingeomyu without even realizing it and did something crazy.

Even in the midst of that, remembering the gesture of the golden sun, dry saliva secretly built up.

As she slapped both of her cheeks, Yeriel looked at Kanghyuk’s gaze. exactly the handle part.

The pure white handle was smeared with bloodstains from Golden Sun’s hand.

“… … .”

Facing Kanghyuk, who was staring at his handrail, Yeriel swallowed a dry spit, cleared her voice, and then spoke rather confidently.

[Is something wrong?]

To put it sternly, Kang Hyuk’s suspicion must be cut off. Because this is also one of the duties of a partner.

“There is blood on the handle… … ?”

Ahh-. I really shouldn’t have left such evidence. I shook my head and started brainstorming.

How do you do it? Fortunately, the dust on the surface wasn’t noticeable, so it didn’t seem to notice… … .

… … ah!

In an instant, Kanghyuk’s palm came into Yeriel’s field of vision.

Did you say Anastasia in the last minute of the match? Kang Hyuk stood up to protect the platinum-haired, big-breasted gunman.

As a result, Kanghyuk’s palm was completely torn and Yeriel flew into the air.

A bunch of useless… … .

Recalling that moment, I lightly clicked my tongue inside.

As long as there was an ace named Geum Taeyang in the team, it would have been much more effective to strike at the opposing team that was leaving gaps while aiming for Anya.

[Your hand was completely torn at the end. What did you ask there? why?]

“… … Ah, yes.”

Kang Hyuk, who lifted his palm once, made a face that realized something.

Kang Hyuk, who seemed to recall the last battle before passing out, nodded his head in agreement.

He let out a sigh of relief.

But fortunately, is it because of my words? It seems to be easy to trust.

The moment when you want to let go of the string of tension for a while.

“Who took you here?”

Yeriel, who lowered her hands wrapped around her head, had no choice but to stop.

It’s an emergency. What should I say?!

Shall I say something else?!

Are you lying here?!

[that… … .]

He quickly turned his head while stretching his horse’s tail.

Yeriel, can you?! think of something Just like this, you want to see Hyuk’s mentally hurt?

uh… … ?

why are you worrying about this?

Why were you trying to get around it? You can just say it like it is. It’s not like what happened anyway, and Hyuk will find out eventually.

[…] … Golden Sun brought me Say thank you to him later.]

“… … okay?”

[He voluntarily came forward and carried you on his back.]

“hmm… … , I’ll tell you later.”

‘A dream was only a dream after all… … .’

Kanghyuk, who looked down at his completely torn palms, could vaguely hear Yeriel muttering softly behind him.

Like that, Kanghyuk and Yeriel sighed in relief at the same time.

The first day of the finals ended like that.

* * *

The evening of the day when I tried to trim Yeriel, but couldn’t actually do it.

In my dorm room, I was organizing the stuff in my bag.

“These are earrings for the sky. This is a necklace for Anya… … .”

That day, because of Chevalier, I ate dinner without knowing whether the rice was going into my nose or mouth, so these were things I hadn’t been able to deliver.

I put it on a desk in the corner of the room and started organizing the rest.

Magic Stone and Scroll.

This was the purpose of going to Hongdae.

I plan to combine these to make a small EMP bullet to use in the battle against the next villain, the smartphone glasses acne pig.

Since he is a guy who mainly uses smartphones, electronic devices, there was no magic potion like this.

Every threshing and stabbing is naturally scheduled after that.

“The problem is that guy’s outbursts… … .”

It’s been a long time since I stopped running dungeons, but this world definitely has fields for growth – dungeons (parasitic world).

Talent-centered growth has reached the level of Expert – Expert, so even if it is Taeyang’s talent, it will be quite difficult after this.

“What is lacking right now. First of all, mana.”

Physical parameters can be nerfed with technology, but not magical power.

Because this stat corresponding to MP is hard to cover with anything else.

Since the growth of magical power had stopped for a while, the actual duration of the sword skill that was just about to be released had to be short.

In addition, a certain level of magical power is required to release Yeriel in the third stage.

“The best thing you can get right now is [the heart of a beast that has realized love]… … How much?”

The dungeon-parasitic world-is the main dungeon for hunting basic monsters, but there were special dungeons.

As dungeons that feel like a kind of bonus stage, they serve as an accelerator for rapid growth.

It reminds me of a friend’s absurd remark after a long time.

‘Hey, I’m sorry for the story, but do you have any good ideas or methods?’

why are you asking me that

Still, the answer I gave to the guy’s question was something that could be called a good answer.

These were things that came out when I was making the settings for Golden Sun, but now is a good time for me to take the lead.

‘Try adapting old myths, tales, and folktales. The basic framework is all set.’

‘hmm… … ? Could it be? Do you think it’s good?’

‘It’s purely your skill to add flesh to it. I do not know?’

AKA Concept Dungeon.

As a story within a story, each character is assigned a role, and a dungeon can only be accessed by completing a goal.

As each clear condition has its own level of difficulty, the reward is also certain.

I have roughly sorted out what I need to do.

The goal is to liberate the third stage of Yeriel before the finals with magic growth.

I can’t wait to see her reaction when I go through the 3rd step without even going through the 2nd step.

The corners of his lips went up.

“Now go to sleep… … .”

-Giying.

The smartphone vibrating my body caught my eye just in time.

The owner of the letters filling the screen was an unexpected person.

-Dear Employer: What are you doing? Are you sleeping? (1) 10:11 PM

“He was contacting me at this time, and the comment was… … a little?”

-Giying.

There wasn’t a single character there.
