I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

94.Dancing With Witches (7)

“…It’s slowly entering a lull.”

It seemed like the fight was dragging on more slowly than expected.

I patted Elisa’s cheek while she was sleeping without the world knowing. When my fingers pressed against her soft cheek, Elisa jumped up and screamed like a student who was late.

“Oh, I’m late!”

“No, don’t worry.”

“Ah…”

Elisa’s face instantly began to turn red like a tomato. I spoke to Sif, who covered her face with her hands and took her gaze away from the embarrassed Elisa and stretched her legs.

“I’m slowly leaving. “You probably remember what to do, right?”

“Ha-am… I remember. “I’m not that stupid of a bitch, am I?”

Well then, I’m glad. I tapped Elisa’s shoulder a couple of times as she was in a spiral of shame, then took her canteen from her backpack and quenched her throat. It could be a long fight, so staying hydrated is essential.

“Everyone, drink at least some water. Depending on the situation, we may have to fight for hours.”

At my words, everyone took out their canteens and quenched her thirst. Sif was spraying water on her face. Are you trying to get rid of the drowsiness?

Well, it’s not something I care about. The important thing now is me and Elisa. I put the canteen in my backpack and put it away in the corner. I had no intention of fighting while carrying a backpack. I looked back at the two people standing behind me, holding my favorite mithril shovel in my hand.

A face with a clear look of nervousness.

I spoke to the two people who were overflowing with worry.

“I will go up.”

“Yes.”

“…Yes.”

First of all, me. I stepped on the stairs created with skill and climbed onto the battlefield. As I expected, the battlefield was a complete mess.

Red. Blue. A severed head. Fallen monsters. Dead bodies piled up. The floor, which would have been yellow, was now in a state where even traces of it were difficult to find.

It is often said that the battlefield is a hell of royalties, and this sight will immediately make you understand why it is called that. I observed two races still waging war and wielding weapons.

The remaining number is in the dozens. Since they were the ones who survived this hell until the end, their appearance was gruesome.

An orc warrior swinging an ax with his left arm with his right arm severed, and a lizard man fighting a close fight with his tail severed. Monsters who continue to fight fiercely, bleeding all over their bodies.

“…It’s terrible.”

“Wow…”

“Ah… “

“Come to your senses. “

Is this the first time either of you have seen something like this? I urged the two people and plunged the shovel into the neck of the lizardman who was lying at my feet. The lizardman’s head was cut off by the sharp mithril without any resistance.

As expected from monsters, their vitality is amazing. I looked at the head rolling on the floor and spouting blood and said to Sif.

“Sif. You take a screenshot here.”

“Oh, okay.”

“And Elisha.”

“…Yes?!”

I gave a request, or rather a command, to Elisha, who spoke in surprise.

“You follow me. “It’s hard for me alone.”

“Yes? , Even if I go with you, I can just carry my luggage…”

When I turned my head to look at her, I was greeted by her face filled with fear.

No matter how much they boost their self-esteem with praise, they are fundamentally cowards. There is no way people can change that easily. However, considering what would happen in the future, there was a need to change Elisha’s personality at least a little.

The three years at the academy will never be peaceful.

As for what happens next…

“Sweet!”

Oops, I was on my way to fight now. I moved forward, stepping on the corpses that covered the ground. Even at this moment, the Orcs and Lizardmen were gradually reducing each other’s numbers. At least three or four of them seem to be lying on the floor.

“I need your magic to kill them. Level 2 magic twice. Are you sure?”

“Yes, yes…”

“Orcs are weak to lightning magic, and lizardmen are weak to fire magic. Prepare your magic and use it as soon as I give you the signal. Did you understand?”

Even though Elisa nodded, I couldn’t erase all of her anxiety.

This cowardly wizard could have panicked on his own and not been able to use magic properly. If that happens…It’s not a big problem, but you might have to consider removing it from the plan you’ve been thinking about recently.

To see the ending, I needed at least a friend like Gukbap.

…Then let’s get started.

I grabbed the body of the shovel I was carrying on my back.

——————-

Dead body. Blood. Fishy smell.

Elisa raised her gaze upward. She felt like she would faint at any moment when she saw the sight above her.

“Orcs use lightning magic, lizardmen use fire magic, orcs use lightning magic, lizardmen use fire magic…”

She kept repeating to herself as she stared into space.

‘If I just use the skill a few times, I’ll get it right away.’

John checked the condition of the monsters with his own eyes and quickly came up with an estimate.

These were monsters I had never seen in real life, but I was so tired of catching them in the game. I don’t remember how many times I played, but I remember coming to this dungeon several times. Because there were a lot of monsters, it gave a lot of experience points and the rewards were pretty good.

‘It would be better to aim for the orcs.’

“I will catch the orcs first.”

This was the conclusion Johan reached after scanning the lizardmen camp, which was relatively behind. Attack the stronger side to balance things out a little. If you attack the lizardmen first, they will be pushed out in an instant, so it will take less strength, but you will have to deal with more orc attacks.

It’s not like he was going to be hit by monsters like this anymore, but he wasn’t a man who necessarily made troublesome choices.

“Oh, lightning…”

And, Elisha is not a woman who throws away her work.

Although she was trembling, she slowly began to chant.

A powerful chant that will suffocate the Orc warrior.

‘You’re doing well.’

John was inwardly relieved and glared at the two orc warriors who had discovered him. Two Orc warriors swinging their axes like crazy. When they saw Yohan while they were hacking away at the lizard men, he rushed at him as if he had found new prey.

“You’re being annoying. Production.”

“Kkueeek!”

Two orcs who immediately discovered him and rushed towards him were impaled on a sharp pillar and died.

He lightly killed two orcs with a grumpy face and felt hot gazes on him.

Without even needing to see, the owner of the gaze is the Orc warrior.

The Orc Grand Master looked alternately at John and the Lizardman Grand Master with blazing eyes.

‘You must be wondering who to attack first.’

I don’t have the intelligence to retreat from that guy and regroup, or to fight him with the lizardman.

Meanwhile, when the situation turned strange, the lizardman took a few steps back and began to observe the situation.

Since I was exhausted from the long fight, I intended to take this opportunity to catch my breath. He knew that no one would be able to touch him even if his intentions were clearly visible.

It is a situation where it is profitable for an Orc warrior and an unknown adventurer to fight each other and come up with a two-way plan. The Lizardman Grand Master instructed his men to deal with the Orc warrior and then began to watch the fight between the two.

In this way, the conversation between the great orc warrior and Johan Quartz came to fruition.

It was John who moved first.

John took a few steps forward, hoping to get the man to attack him. Five steps. John narrowed the distance and took into account the difference in reach between him and the Great Warrior.

‘The difference is probably three times greater.’

It’s only natural that the difference in height is about twice that. As the distance closed, John adjusted his grip on his shovel and prepared to swing it. Of course, he was at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat, but he was not a warrior who fought in hand-to-hand combat anyway.

Seeing John holding a weapon, the Great Orc warrior grinned and picked up his weapon, a huge axe. An ax covered in blood and flesh. Not even John knows how many lizardmen were killed by that axe. He wasn’t really interested. His only interest is how to tie up the body of the Orc warrior.

“…I guess I should say hello first. Production.”

He lightly used his skills to create a wall.

A 3 meter high barrier.

An ordinary human would have felt uneasy due to the lack of visibility, but for an Orc warrior, it is a fragile wall that can be broken by just kicking it. Knowing that fact, John cast the skill again while watching the Great Warrior swing his ax at the wall.

“Production.”

A pillar with a sharply cut end. However, as if he was not a great warrior for nothing, the Orc warrior avoided his pillar with agile movements that were not appropriate for his size and kicked him to break it. Seeing that, Yohan slowly began to hit the skill in succession.

“Produce. Produce. Produce. Production.”

Pillar. Pillar. Pillar. Pillar.

Pillars continued to rise, aiming for the body of the great warrior. A disconcerting sight. However, the Great Warrior repeatedly avoided and broke the pillars with his body movements and sometimes with his reflexes. Just looking at his movements, he is one of the best monsters he has ever caught.

But when Yohan saw that, he grinned.

‘This is enough testing.’

It is as strong as expected. When the estimate became clearer than expected, John took off his feet, which had been firmly rooted like a tree, and approached the great orc warrior.

“Elisha! When I shout ‘now’, fire the magic!”

“Yes, yes!”

A monster that appears to be about 4 meters tall is looking down at him. Even if you just kick him, he will be thrown straight into the underworld.

However, no matter how strong the Orc warrior is… He is just an early stage monster.

John kicked the ground and rushed at the Orc warrior, like a suicidal man running out of mana. The Orc warrior roared at the fact that a small human was running towards him and began to move his limbs, which were thicker than a log.

One step. Two steps. Three steps.

As the two people got closer, Elisa’s body began to tremble violently.

‘If you make a mistake, Mr. Yohan…’

She doesn’t know John’s fighting power. She also has no experience going in and out of dungeons. Therefore, Elisha felt tremendous pressure.

If you make a mistake, John dies. With that fact alone, her heart, which had lived as a coward her whole life, was pounding as if it would burst.

‘You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes. You can’t make mistakes…’

She constantly repeats it over and over again, gathering magical power in her hands. Her magic was ready to shoot out of her hands at any moment. But she hasn’t received the order yet. Elisha gritted his teeth and watched John’s actions

Soon, John and the great warrior’s weapons were swung. Elisa’s body was staggered from the shock, which was enough to make her legs go numb. Nevertheless, her magic was not canceled.

‘Elisha, you can do it.’

A scene of heavy drinking and dust blowing around. It is difficult to even confirm whether John is alive or dead. Fear overtook me. But she did not panic.

Because John said you can do it and don’t be afraid.

She waited for John’s command even when the great warrior turned his gaze to look at her.

A man who takes care of her even though he knows she is a witch. A man who encourages her and tells her that she can do it.

… A man who reminds her of her distant, kind days when her father tried to kill her.

Will I ever meet someone like that again?

Elisa’s will, which had always kept her head down, raised her head.

‘You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. I can do it…’

“…Produce. Elisha! Now! “Fire at the head!”

A familiar voice accompanied by a roar full of pain. And, the voice that gave me courage.

Elisa fired her magic right away.

“Lightning…Sphere!”

A spear of yellow lightning shot out from the little girl’s hand. A spear of lightning flew at the speed of an arrow and pierced the head of the Orc warrior. The orcs and lizardmen who were fighting were so powerful that they looked at the ceiling where the lightning struck.

“That’s great.”

Before colliding with Daejeon Temple. John, who pretended to swing a shovel and then rolled his body into the critical spot of Daejeon Temple, dusted himself off and stood up.

“I succeeded once, so the second time will be easy.”

The first time with anything is difficult. John shouted as he looked at Elisha’s improved face.

“Next is fire magic!”

“Yes!”

With Elisa’s magic gaining confidence, the battle came to an easy end.

In the first place, I didn’t kill Elisa on purpose to increase her confidence. He looked down at the roasted corpse of the great lizardman warrior and turned his attention to the sound of it collapsing.

It was Elisha.

“Well, I did it, I did it…”

“Okay. Well done.”

He carefully picked up Elisha, who had a tired face. As if she didn’t have the strength to be embarrassed, she fell asleep as if in John’s arms.

It was because I didn’t have the strength to stand because it was my first real fight.

John joined Sif, carrying her in his arms. Sif was looking through her her numerous photos her her her one by one.

“Did you take many pictures?”

“I took so many photos that I had to narrow down just a few of the best ones.”

“I see.”

Fortunately, the hastily planned operation ended well.

“Hmm, hard work, hard work… “

Sif hummed and stuffed the photos into a small pouch. John, who was watching this, turned his gaze and looked down at Elisha, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Perhaps due to consuming a lot of her magical power, she fell asleep. He handed Elisha over to Sif and made a request.

“Lay it down over there and pull out any good material. “I will check the reward and come back.”

“What? I am? “I want to go see it too!”

“Stop talking nonsense and take care of Elisana.”

‘Because the reward isn’t that big anyway.’

He left Sif’s grumbling voice behind and walked towards the reward box.

—————

“…Miss Elisa. “Are the contents of this report true?”

“Yes, yes… I also received certification from the exploration guild…”

Elisa looked at the professor with a very nervous expression. Anyway, the professor was busy looking through the report.

“Honestly, I was worried about Miss Elise, but to be able to clear it after discovering a new dungeon… That’s amazing! I can’t even give this an A+! Miss Lee is A+!”

Many talented students came and went from Calon Academy, but none of them found a new dungeon and cleared it.

And that too with only 3 people!

Grandel, a professor of dungeon exploration, looked at the photo attached with the report with wide-eyed interest. Elisa was taken aback by the seemingly insanity, but it was none of Professor Grandel’s business of hers.

‘Clearing a new dungeon! ‘There will be chaos in a few days!’

It was a very interesting type of dungeon for him, who had devoted his life to researching dungeons, so he planned to rush in as soon as exploration was officially made possible.

A new type of floor in a new dungeon.

A dungeon where hostile monsters appear at the same time.

A blue crystal that revives monsters that have become stone statues.

It’s not the first time a dungeon has a unique gimmick, but it was the first time I’ve seen a dungeon with a gimmick like this.

‘I hope I can get in and out quickly!’

Cleared dungeons are reset in one week. It usually takes about a month to get permission from the dungeon exploration guild.

The professor began making plans in his head to explore the dungeon at the right time.

“Uh…Uh, professor?”

“Ah, you can leave now.”

“Uh, then… “

Elisa carefully closed the door to her lab and sighed.

‘I’m glad… ‘

Despite the penalty of having to do the assignment alone, the professor’s evaluation is very good.

This was good news for her because she did not want to inconvenience Professor Lennon, who paid her expensive tuition, and was trying to get the scholarship.

Walking absentmindedly down her hallway, she suddenly stopped and started laughing darkly.

Hehe…”

‘…John will be happy to hear it, right?’

One of the few men who treats her kindly. Elisa blushed unconsciously as she remembered a man with a rather harsh face, but contrary to her face, he was kind.

“Oh, Miss Elisa, why are you smiling darkly in the middle of the hallway?”

“Kya?!”

Until Martina, who was looking at her with concern in her eyes, spoke to her.
