Chapter 7
6 pm.
I had dinner with Noctar at the student cafeteria of the Faculty of Heroes.
Even though it is a classmate, it is extremely rare to get along with a different race outside the classroom.
Humans with humans.
The beauties along with the beauties.
Orcs with orcs.
Lizardman with Lizardman.
Unmotivated elves are dignified and alone.
But eating alone with the orcs.
Countless eyes were on me saying, ‘What are you doing?’
eww······.
There was a tingling pain in my body again, but I endured it.
It was because Noctar had offered to teach him martial arts in return for teaching him to study.
Currently, Noctar is ranked 71st out of 200 students in the first year.
However, in terms of pure force, he is strong enough to be in the top 10 in the first year.
As in this work, the main character, Nike, gained enlightenment from the teachings of Gosu, there is a high possibility that it will be helpful.
Even if it’s not like that, if we train together, we’ll work harder even if we’re noticing.
After eating, we came to the training center dedicated to the Faculty of Heroes.
This place is different from the training ground where Nike and Piel were yesterday, available to students from all faculties.
Of course, it is equipped with a personal cabinet that only the person can use, and it is possible to train simulated magic warfare and hand-to-hand combat.
You can even train how to deal with situations where you are being targeted by assassins.
If you train here, you can’t use the general training ground.
So on Sundays when this place is closed, most students take a break from training.
On Sundays, Nike and Fiel, who visit the general training ground, are the standouts.
Among the numerous practice rooms, we moved to the dungeon.
It is said to be a battle arena, but in reality it is a duel arena.
Duels are prohibited within the Academy.
But the dungeon is an exception.
Rather, the academy encourages competition between students.
This is because it stimulates mutual competition.
This is the so-called legal battleground.
Boo woo-woong
Noctar said, moving his arms and legs loudly.
“Let’s unwind first.”
After nodding my head, I followed Noktar’s movements.
With his forearms attached to the large pillars, and at the end of the movement of stretching the pectoral muscles, Noktar grabbed the wooden sword.
“Then let’s stick together first.”
“I’m not sure.”
“I need to know your skills first, so I can tell you. Do you have any words like that?”
Noctar pointed his finger at the picture frame hanging on the upper wall.
There [overcome. Go beyond it.]
Zep, the battle with the battle race orcs.
I’m glad you don’t kill me.
“Wait a minute.”
I took a quick glance at the sparring weapon holder.
There were various weapons, such as swords, three swords, two-handed swords, long swords, daggers, spears, axes, polearms, bows, and shields.
Because it was for Dalian, everything was made of wood until the day.
I’ve dealt with all kinds of weapons countless times in the game, but it’s actually my first time.
I had a long sword and a shield in my hand.
The long sword is Theo’s main weapon in this game.
and shield.
It is good for beginners like me who have no practical experience at all.
I opened the info window.
●Long Sword for Dalian [Grade: Normal]
: A long sword made of wood for Dalian.
It’s hard to expect lethality. <Read more>
Shield for battle [Rank: Normal]
: A wooden shield for fighting.
It is difficult to withstand strong shocks. <Read more>
Because it’s for Dalian, after all, it’s not something special.
I held the shield tightly on my left wrist.
The mere fact of having a shield creates psychological stability.
I feel less depressed.
With my gear on, I stood in front of Noctar.
Noctar’s eyes became sharp.
“Then shall we begin?”
“okay.”
“Come in first.”
Noctar clapped his hands.
I ran straight to him.

About an hour has passed since the start of Dalian.
“Huh, huh, huh…”
I lay on the floor, breathing heavily.
. . . was robbed.
Noctar confronted me with not only swords, but also spears, spears, and polearms, using all weapons alternately.
When dealing with swords, spears, spears, polearms, etc., he was able to take it to some extent.
These were the familiar techniques that I had seen in the main game.
Theo’s skills could also be used naturally.
Against a polearm, he lasted about 10 minutes.
But, relativistically with a one-handed axe, he couldn’t last 30 seconds.
Is this the strength of the top 10?
As Noctar put the one-handed ax he was holding onto the cradle, he chuckled.
“It’s clumsy, but is the swordsmanship itself okay?”
“…is that so?”
I answered lying down.
It’s clumsy because he doesn’t train continuously, but Theo is a master of the famous warrior family.
received early education at an early age.
If you look at the swordsmanship alone, it was better than Noktar.
But height, strength, stamina, speed, etc.
Physically, it was too late.
[Name: Noctar Hermod]
Gender: Male
Age: 11
Race: Orc
Affiliation: Elinia Academy Braves Division / Ashen Desert Tribe
strength 12
stamina 12
5 mana
tenacity 12
characteristic
– Combat Instinct (Passive / Blood Ability) <See more>
– Protection of the War God (Passive / Blood Ability) <View Details>
-Weapon Expert (Passive) <View Details>
-Blood Rage (Passive) <See more>
-Hard Skin (Passive) <View Details>
Except for mana, the stats are the same as Nike.
It’s probably because of his weapon expert that he manages to handle other weapons besides the one-handed axe.
Noctar I was dealing with was in a state where the combat instinct and blood rage had not been activated.
If the trait had been activated, it wouldn’t have lasted even 10 seconds.
Still, it is a huge income.
Was it possible to use the knowledge of this work in direct battle?
As he was organizing his thoughts, Noctar said.
“I wish I had rested. wake up. Let’s move on to the next one.”
“okay.”
The place that Noktar followed was the fitness center.
“Theo, above all else, you lack strength. Even more so than other human motives. Developing strength is the priority.”
That’s right.
There are no guns in this world.
No matter what weapon you handle, strength is essential.
As he nodded, Noctar chuckled.
“Good good. let’s overcome Let’s start with this.”
Then Noctar pointed to Babel.
There were a lot more discs than what I heard yesterday.
“Wouldn’t it be better to lower the weight a little?”
I said frankly.
No matter how you look at it,
“No, that’s enough. I’ll help you, come on!”
The seeds weren’t even eaten.
* * *
“Theo, one more, one more! You can do it! Put the wishes of the great war god in your left hand and the wishes of the tribesmen in your right hand, and push them up at once! Yes, that’s it, Theo! Don’t stop! You can, you can! ”
After receiving 1:1 PT from Noctar for 2 hours, I was able to return to the dormitory.
Suddenly, it was past 10 pm.
I looked at the front door of the dormitory.
“Uh-huh…”
It wasn’t the end of coming.
My room is on the 20th floor.
I went up the stairs, soothing my trembling body.
That’s how I got to the 20th floor.
Amy was also standing in front of my room.
By the way,
“··········!”
When our eyes met, Amy was startled, like someone caught doing something bad.
Why are you there?
Did you get anything on my face?
I came to take a shower.
“…are you here, master?”
Shortly thereafter, Amy approached me like yesterday and bowed her head.
“okay.”
By the way, since when has Amy been waiting?
He’s an assassin, so his ears are good, but he wouldn’t have heard it from inside the door.
“Since when have you been standing?”
“…from 6 o’clock.”
I mean, I’ve been standing there for over 4 hours.
If you don’t say it, it will definitely continue to be like this in the future.
“There is no need to wait from tomorrow.”
There is no need to buy more grudges for nothing.
On this route, I don’t know why I’m dying.
It is best to reduce the mortality variable as much as possible.
And it will continue to be late in the future.
Next Friday, there will be a practical evaluation—a competition between students.
In college terms, it’s like a note test before the midterm, but of course it’s reflected in your grades.
Currently, my ranking is 181st out of 200 people.
The bottom 10%, from 181st to 200th, are all rude.
Same as last place
I came from a great family, so I was ranked 181st.
Except when you go to collect Hidden Pieces on the weekend, you have to keep training.

Fortunately, Noctar agreed to continue training.
“…Still, waiting for the master is one of the things I have to do.”
As if sorry, Amy lowered her head.
“No, that’s fine. Don’t wait.”
“But—.”
“Don’t make me say it twice. And if we wait like today, we will not be idle.”
by the way.
“Did you take action on the broken magic light?”
Amy sighed and said.
“···Yes, Master. I bought a new one and put it in.”
“Yeah, it was hard.”
“Thank you, Master. You’ve worked hard today as well. Please bring your bag here.”
“Wait a minute.”
I took out the bag that Noctar had given me, and handed the briefcase to Amy.
Amy looked at the bag in my hand with a subtle gaze and took the briefcase.
“Then good night, Master. I’ll see you tomorrow morning. Have a nice dream.”
A robot-like comment like yesterday.
She’s a woman with no emotions because she’s not really an assassin.
“Yeah. Have a nice dream too, Amy.”
I replied with the same message, and immediately went into the room and lay down on the bed.

Fortunately, the pain is hardly felt.
Good thing you came to the training ground to shower.
A soft bed hugged me.

Fatigue was rushing in.
Oh right.
I opened the bag Noctar gave me.
Inside was a fine powder with a light brown color.
Did I mention it’s a tribal traditional elixir?
It is good for muscle development, and I was told to eat it every 3 hours.
I scooped up a little powder, mixed it with water, and drank it all the way.
“Ugh.”
Nausea comes up
terribly tasteless
If it doesn’t work within 2 weeks, I won’t eat it.
