Chapter 970
<970 – Experience Points Doubled (7)>
Beyond the hellish sandy beach, the offspring of the World Tree was causing plant disasters, plunging many third years into despair.
“I can’t believe we’re getting cut at the entrance before even setting foot in the mansion. I can’t endure such humiliation!”
“If we falter like this, the 981 juniors who trained in Oknodie’s annex last year will mock us as pathetic and send their wicked glare at the upperclassmen!”
“This is a state abnormality. We can’t handle it with brute force. Everyone, seal the movements of the offspring of the World Tree with CC moves!”
Deadcat called over the campus couple, who were usually cuddling.
“Hey, get over here. What are you doing pretending you didn’t hear? If you don’t come, you’re gonna get it.”
At Deadcat’s words, the third-year couple timidly approached.
“W-we’re a campus couple, not CC move users…”
“Don’t harass us!”
“Shut it and start cozily cuddling like you usually do! I’ve never seen a CC move more powerful than your lovey-dovey actions!”
As the CC moves poured in real-time, the offspring of the World Tree nonchalantly soaked up the status effects, even scaring a student who attacked with fire from the tips of its branches.
“Mommy!” screamed the fallen third year as the softly rustling leaves mocked them, indistinguishable from the laughter of others.
For now, it was playing with its food, but who knew when ‘play’ would turn into ‘attack’?
Something had to be done.
Reluctantly, the campus couple decided they would face the humiliation if it could help even a little.
“Sweetheart, we haven’t kissed outside before, right?”
“Right… my lips are shy, so just on the cheek.”
The female student pecked a bird kiss on his cheek.
As the male student giggled and squirmed, the switch was flipped on the female student, who bombarded her partner’s cheek, forehead, and even the back of his hand with kisses.
The effect of the campus couple’s CC move was impressive.
All the third years, who should have been focused on dodging the status effect attacks, suddenly stopped with blank faces!
“Life, sigh. What’s the point of suffering this much? At this rate, I’ll end up in an arranged marriage with some insufferable noble Agassi from a powerful family when I get older…”
“Haah. I envy your romance… the last time I held a guy’s hand was when the instructor flew over to save me during the 3km exam in a strong wind…”
“You guys must pay three times the taxes, damn it…”
Anguished sighs poured out from the frustrated students!
Even the effects of the status ailments were too overwhelming.
“Aaaah! The offspring of the World Tree is getting more agitated, stimulated by its breeding instinct!!”
The offspring of the World Tree, now actively writhing with its vines, wanted to feast on the mana-filled students even more!
Among the many status ailments, the plant caught by ‘heat’ was stretching its tentacles toward the students, a level of desire that even the giant monster, Buzhaar, should emulate!
“Yikes! Don’t touch me!”
“Ugh, don’t burrow under my skirt!”
“W-what the hell! This plant guy is pulling down my pants! I’m a man! What’s your plan?!”
While holding back the offspring of the World Tree with sound spheres, Mandela’s burden suddenly increased as the third years were caught off guard and left helpless.
With everyone frozen and dazed, the number of helpers increased, and the effort to stop the offspring of the World Tree intensified!
“Are you all going to just watch Mandela until his voice goes hoarse? No matter how great he is, he can’t take care of an entire grade by himself!”
Mandela’s voice output increased as he suppressed the foot of the offspring of the World Tree.
The third years freed from the creature’s grasp belatedly apologized.
“Ah! I’m so sorry!”
“They were just too annoying and I couldn’t help it…”
“Help Mandela. We need to quickly escape the beach and engage with the bush area!”
The offspring of the World Tree was getting angrier with each repeated interruption.
Sssssss.
With high allure, the offspring of the World Tree swayed its branches like a serpent, attracting monsters to gather around it.
“Ugh! It’s a slime!”
“Get out the emergency food! Throw that tasteless black bread and burned food at it!”
Due to the earlier incident with Oknodie, students had become increasingly aware of the school’s culinary culture and realized the destructive power of bad food.
The slime that had been fed a selection of the academy’s top ten worst foods coughed up what it had munched on, especially the black bread, which had been the only thing it absolutely rejected.
A third-year clenched a fist in delight, exclaiming, “Just as I thought, black bread is the worst! This trash pretending to be food! The shame of breads! Go die, black bread!”
“From today, the worst food at the academy is black bread!”
“…but they bought black bread to save up points, right? What are they saying?”
As part of the fourth kings of class 980, White Knight Roe was among the strongest four even in the upper class and was good at racking up points.
Naturally, they didn’t know the sorrow of having no points, eating black bread to save even a single point.
Having completely lost a sense of deprivation, Roe ignored the mournful cries of the black bread faction and channeled the holy light into their sword.
‘The light of Titosso, which is no different from the sun of the sun god, has shown me my answer. Even without seeking the call of the benevolent deity, if I know what is right, justice shall follow me there. My faith will shine like light, overseeing the unrefined and weak motivations!’
[Justice Execution]
[Imitating the power of the three divine classes of Benevolent Deity.]
[This battle is a clash with the minions of evil by your standards.]
[This battle is a step toward a good future by your standards.]
[This battle is a priori battle that does not violate the universal principles of the doctrine of will by your standards.]
[Imitating the power of Benevolent Deity Baesin.]
[Imitating the efforts of Benevolent Deity Praxis.]
[Imitating the power of Benevolent Deity Immanuel.]
As one who acts as the will of the god through their own justice.
Thinking he was walking the path of the glorious champion of the god, Roe was actually taking a bizarre tech path that even the benevolent deities couldn’t comprehend.
There was also the influence of Oknodie, who meddles with others’ builds, saying things like “You’re more suited for a staff than a sword!” but Roe was blissfully unaware that he was straying from the path of faith!
“The minion of the cruel director of the Foundation that serves as a dog. If your view of the world is seeing cruelty as life and exploitation as some kind of power, then your eyes must surely be blinded.”
“May you spend the rest of your life regretting this day!”
Roe’s outstretched sword shone brightly like Titosso’s light stand.
[White Knight Roe – Domain Level 4]
[Domain of Justice – The Dawn's Light that Denounces Evil]
Originally, domains are utilized by projecting, expanding, and inscribing specialized properties in space.
However, White Knight Roe utilized various abilities unconstrained by Oknodie’s logic to inscribe a unique world of its own.
The offspring of the World Tree was greatly startled by the domain being branded on it like a stigma.
[Distribute]
[Scatter]
[Disrupt]
[Receive]
[Shift]
Attempting to eliminate the light through its roots draped across dimensions, the offspring of the World Tree found itself engulfed by light, belonging to a single world.
Whaaaaaa!!!
“Ugh! My eyes!”
“That damn plant is shining!”
“Shield your eyes and run away!”
Having suddenly become an unintentional public nuisance, White Knight Roe awkwardly sheathed his sword, mixing with those who pretended not to know anything as they fled.
“I-I’ll lend you a hand.”
“Ugh. Is this voice Roe? Truly kind like a knight. Sorry to bother you, but could you help me out?”
“…It’s nothing.”
“I thought you only listened to the voice of the god and had no interest in lower-class folks like us, but here you are, helping me out during such a dire situation. I really see you in a new light.”
“…Is that so?”
No matter the chaos of the situation, after much ado, the students gathered in front of the mansion.
As they caught their breath and charged up energy, Io, the person from the fourth kings of class 980, kicked the mansion wall in frustration.
“Damn Foundation! To coat the place with such insane traps where half of us would die if we don’t cooperate! This isn’t training.”
“But kicking the wall won’t solve anything. It’s a bit rude as a guest.”
“Come on, after all the crap we’ve been through, just kicking a wall is a small price to pay, right? Even a saint would smack a bible over a stubborn official’s head after this!”
Io huffed and opened the door.
And then the moment they kicked the wall, a seriously angry monster house revealed its true self, its limbs grabbing Io and pulling him inside.
“Io?!”
“Crap, it’s a fake mansion!!”
“We have to rescue Io!”
“Attack the house!”
“We’ve got no time to be careless! First, no fire magic. We rescue Io and then use it!”
Gathering mana, all the third years unleashed an assault on the Mansion Mimic, which had suddenly turned from a simple obstacle to a dire situation.
It was a disheartening scene, knowing it would take ages for the third years to reach the true main house of the director of the Foundation.
And there was yet another person downcast due to their mistake.
“Waaah! The seniors and friends all flaked on the housewarming party!”
Oknodie, wearing a conical hat and ready to greet everyone, was on the verge of tears.
