12 – Cooperation_Hero_2

“You spoiled child.. whoa.. done. 1st graders? You guys can’t breathe now. Do you know the responsibility of solidarity? Everyone else is going to f*ck up because of you.”

I know what it is, but it makes me laugh a little when people who are not yet adventurers or warriors mention such things.

“senior.”

“Are you thinking of apologizing now? But what? It’s already too late?”

you are late

I muttered to myself, I was thinking about relaxing my body properly for the first time in a while when I heard a familiar voice in the distance.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“Ah. Professor. My junior kept climbing, so I was giving him some mental training-“

The senior said that while sticking to the attitude even in front of the professor.

The professor who appeared was Al Sola. Maybe because of her size, the senior approached Solar and crouched down to meet her gaze.

..And that action was tantamount to acting to pull out Solar’s evil.

“What are you doing?”

“Making eye contact with my little professor~ You think you’ll be able to hear my voice this way, right?”

At his words, some of the gang laughed.

don’t know yet What kind of person is Solar? Or did you know it, but did you look down on it a bit because it was too small? Or are they people who have no knowledge of magic at all?

Whatever it was, I wished them well. At the same time, he slightly loosened his clenched fist.

“You’re a 3rd year student whose name I don’t know.”

“yes?”

“Try to come back.”

“..Yes?”

The senior furrowed his brows at her vague words. But things have already happened a long time ago. Solar quickly finished the chant and reached out to the senior.

And the senior figure disappeared. It is as if the light particles that had clumped together dispersed and disappeared.

“..what.. what..”

His gang asked why, and Solar said calmly.

“Move space. Coordinates are random points.”

At her words, Priersil’s eyes lit up. As far as I know, this senior entrant was also very interested in magic. Therefore, Al Sola’s highest level of magic, teleportation, must have been very suitable to appeal to her.

“professor!”

“..ok?”

“That magic…”

“Chit.”

“..Eh.”

But her wish did not come true. It was because as soon as she started talking to Solar, she clicked her tongue and disappeared as if it was annoying. Priersil looked at the place where she disappeared in despair and asked me.

“What did I do wrong?”

“I understand.”

He is a naturally selfish human being.

“..It’s unfortunate, but I can’t help it. You can ask in class, so well, anyway, I’m ready. And…”

Priersil cautiously opened his mouth to me as I put things in my rucksack well-arranged and easily accessible.

“You said it a little bit earlier, but were you trying to help me? Thank you.”

It was a very blunt thank you.

After the meeting at the canteen where there was brief trouble, time passed and it became a dungeon exploration day.

The leader, Rain, was staring blankly at me at the entrance of the labyrinth, wearing a backpack full of stuff.

Why are you still blank? As I applauded with the thought of ‘I’m here,’ she looked at me and Priersil as if she had finally come to her senses.

“May I ask what you prepared?”

“Potion to apply, potion to drink, anti-paralysis medicine, antidote, magic torch, mana stone, etc…”

As I said that, Priersil gave me a rather unexpected look. Why is he like this again, burdensome.

After hearing my words, Lane looked at me blankly once again. what? Are you in a bad mood?

“..lane.”

Feeling a little nervous, I called her name in a very small voice. Even at this level, she could hear it.

“..Ah! Yes! Looks like we’re ready! Then let’s go!”

Just like that, Lane tapped my shoulder and kicked off. Hey, your limbs move the same.

“…I’m anxious.”

“Is there ever a time when Bandage is so anxious? You’ve been appealing with ‘I don’t have any worries’ until now.”

“Did I do that? I guess I just acted normal.”

“At least in my opinion…”

And as soon as I entered the labyrinth with Lane, I brought my index finger to my mouth to signal her to be quiet.

From now on, you really don’t know what will happen. Although it was a dungeon that had just been created, carelessness was the biggest cause of losing one’s life. Rain and I will have no problem, but Priersil has developed such a sense of real combat, so there will be nothing wrong with it.

I’ve been living without my brain so far, but since I’m in a position to hold on to a little bit of the lifeline of my juniors, it would be better to act a little like the old days.

I relaxed slightly and closed my eyes completely to completely block out the barely visible sight.

+++

Is this the person I know?

A man who is always smirking and calm, and on the other hand, is not at all arrogant. The man whose eyes were wrapped in bandages and whose name he didn’t even know seemed reliable from the moment we became on the same team and had a serious talk.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the oddities are gone. I just watched it again a bit.

When we talked about preparations, he changed from a cheeky and smirking person to a person with a lot of practical experience.

And I felt a little grateful when he saved me in my own way from a squeamish senior.

The last time I actually entered the labyrinth. Right now, when the wet, blinding, unconscious fear creeps up, he has turned into a fairly dependable person.

Even if I’m a candidate for the top academy, I wasn’t born in a family overflowing with wealth and honor.

So, of course, there were no employees like guards, so I had never actually entered the labyrinth.

That’s why, no matter how strong the first warrior was by his side, he couldn’t help but feel exhaustion and fear brought on by the energy of evil and death.

But the man next to him didn’t care. Is it because it was covered from the beginning? He was walking slowly along the road, doing everything he could as if he was used to it. As if in agreement with the dean and hero Rain Guardon-sama, he looked everywhere with a body movement that did not interfere with her.

A magic stone that emits a very small light is placed where you walked. The mana stones placed at the exact distance were not placed in the center of the path, but they were not placed in an inconspicuous place either.

His usual flirtatious and smirking attitude, like a nerd, moves with his mouth tightly closed.

Its movements are so agile that it even moves one step ahead of Rain Guard-on-sama without even making a sound. Rain Guardon-sama didn’t say anything even after seeing such a bandage. Maybe he thinks ‘what that man does isn’t that bad’ with the sense he sharpened during his days as a hero.

Or maybe this is also evaluating us now…

No, this must be an evaluation. Why did all the teachers of the academy move under the name of practice in the first place? Thinking like that, I could understand the man’s behavior.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Now, we have become a team with the highest person in the academy, the dean. Isn’t it the most optimal environment to earn points!

great. let me move what i can do…

First of all, this dark space…

“‘Light’…”

“..Ah, wait..”

“‘Reveal’.”

With a short chant, the inside of the labyrinth lights up. It was ‘light’, the magic of the light attribute.

As if they were surprised that I possessed white magical power – magic of the light attribute – Lady Rain Guardon and Mr. Bandage’s complexions darkened a little.

And only then did I know what I had done.

+++

“oh my.”

I drool. The first prerequisite for exploring the labyrinth is not to change the original atmosphere of the labyrinth.

For example, in a labyrinth where lava flows, do not spray water because it is hot.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Not only could it become steam that evaporated in an instant, harming allies, but new lava could pile up on top of the hardened lava and flood it.

For example, in a labyrinth full of ice, the temperature should not be raised.

The ice may melt and become waterlogged.

For example, in a dark jungle like now, you shouldn’t light a fire.

Because monsters sensitive to light might gather.

But what about what has already happened? Moreover, it seems safe to say that this chief lady has no practical experience. He must have acted to earn some points from Lane for no reason.

Still, it’s good to know what he did. Gritting your teeth and lowering your eyes is showing it even if you don’t say ‘I was wrong’.

“How many minutes did the light last?”

“..That’s… 8 minutes with my magical power..”

“Can’t you cancel?”

“Yes.. it will shine until all the condensed mana is consumed.. sorry..”

“No, you don’t have to apologize. It’s already happened.”

Still, it’s kind of funny that the high-nosed chief lady is somber. No, let’s do what we have to do.

ahead of Lane. Rain didn’t say much, as if he believed me. I’m still a cadet, but I’ll tell you to be careful. What should I do if Priersil becomes suspicious?

Anyway, it’s safe now. If you get injured in this party of two, you’re ruining Lane’s reputation. i need to focus more

I tightened my eyelids and started concentrating while blocking even the enemy light coming from the light. Other senses, strengthened by the blindfolded life, begin to grab all the information around them.

The smell of grass and dirt.

Fine, slightly hardened footprint-shaped mud.

Minor changes and flow of humidity.

Footsteps slowly getting louder.

The sound of rotting grass even smaller than that.

The sound of approaching footsteps was estimated to be three in total.

form of the beast.

Quadruped walking.

The size… it doesn’t seem that big.

There seems to be toxic substances in the saliva.

Combining all the information, I whispered to Lane.

“Beast monsters. There are three of them, and one slightly larger one is in the center. It looks like there is poison in its saliva. I think you can handle it with your skills. How about it? Can you help me?”

“..trust me.”

trustworthy our warrior.

If you said so, now I have no choice but to believe. I nodded to Lane and made a gesture of trusting her, then moved to the rear and approached Priersil.

“..sorry..sorry..”

“What do you think? Do you think that warrior will just hit you?”

“Ah.. no.. but in a situation where you could lose your life..”

“If you do something wrong now, you can fix it later. Just think about it. Calm down.”

As she said that, she lightly placed her hand on Priersil’s trembling head. It was damp and a bit damp, so I took out a moisture removal stone from my bag and handed it to him.

“..thank you.”

Priersil obediently gave thanks. It was more fun to be arrogant like during the congratulatory speech.

Anyway, I took a seat in the back to watch the battle of the lanes I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Lane drew his sword. Usually when you think of a hero, you think of a holy sword, but Rain didn’t have such a sword.

According to the person himself, he used to use it before, but since he inserted the holy sword into the central square of the city and turned it into a tourist attraction in order to revitalize the city that had been destroyed by the devil’s attack, the holy sword has not been used.

So, it was safe to say that Rain now is just a weapon expert who uses whatever comes to hand.

Usually it’s an iron sword, and when it breaks, I use nearby tree branches, sometimes I pick up bones from the corpse and use them, and if it really doesn’t work out, I just punch it.

Thinking about it like this makes me feel like a barbarian again. Well, I think it’s better than struggling with relying on the holy sword.

What Rain brought out this time was an ordinary iron sword. It was a frequently used weapon because of its grip and weight.

The sound gets a little louder. This time, Rain might have heard it too, and her hands were strained. Whatever it is, it takes a life, and if you do it wrong, you can die. As Prion said before, he knew very well that it was not good to be thoughtless like me when fighting.

Three monsters in the shape of wolves appeared with the sound of the beast’s feet brushing the bush.

Come to think of it, even when we had adventures together, I was mostly at the front line, so it had been quite a while since I hadn’t seen Lane fight.

great. Shall we take out some cookies and eat them?
