Became an Academy Penetrating Spearman

26. Skill Test (1)

***

After making an appointment with Atsbal and selecting classes for Pamela to take, she and Pamela headed to the academy’s cadet counseling office.

“Yes, what are you here for?”

“I want to create a group.”

“You mean create a group. How many people are you trying to join?”

“Two people.”

“Unfortunately, the minimum number of people to create a group is 3 people.”

The agent took out the group creation application form from the drawer.

“When the number of people willing to join is reached, please fill in your name in this field and come back to apply.”

“Okay.”

I left the counseling center right after finishing my errands.

“Uh, what should I do? I-I can’t make a group with just the two of us…”

“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s as if the third member has already joined.”

“What do you mean? Seo, no way…”

“Yes. Artzbal Genedic. He will be the third group member.”

“Ha, but he’s an aristocrat, and he hates that… Shih, Shihan, uh, a lot?”

Right now, Atsbal definitely thinks I’m a cheeky guy and he hates me.

It must be all the more so because he is aggressive and confident in his skills.

But with that kind of personality, she’s easier to pull into the group.

“I will place a bet when sparring.”

“My, a bet?”

“Yes. I will offer Atsubal a simple bet that grants one of the wishes of the winner. With that personality, he will surely accept it. Besides, once he joins the group, he will not be very hostile to Atzbal.”

“Uh, why?”

“Huh. Men get closer while fighting.”

“Is that so?”

Pamela tilted her head, as if not understanding.

Of course, it’s rare to get close while actually fighting, but that’s enough if I use my penetrating muzzle technique to coax you well.

“Pamela, do you have more business at the academy?”

“Oh, no! No!”

“I see. Then… Let’s go to the clothing store together.”

“Oh, the clothes shop?”

“Yes. Come to think of it, I was very indifferent to you too.”

“You didn’t care?”

Pamela didn’t understand me at all.

I said this on purpose to see the next reaction.

“I train my stamina, but I didn’t buy clothes suitable for it, didn’t I just run with the clothes I usually wear? From tomorrow, I’ll wear the clothes I usually wear.”

“Uh, uh uh…”

“So let’s go buy some gym clothes for strength training. I’ll be able to buy them right away.”

He put his hand on Pamela’s shoulder kindly.

“And let’s wear new clothes and build up our stamina with a new heart.”

“…”

Pamela’s complexion turned blue.

She’s sorry for Pamela, but she has such an attractive face that you want to take a screenshot.

Pamela, who made no excuses that she wanted to run away or do something else, only turned her complexion blue, and Pamela reaffirmed that she had a really good heart.

***

After buying her gym clothes and working out steadily, she broke up with Pamela.

Pamela, as always, made a porridge after the physical training.

I didn’t roll hard, so I’ll recover after a little rest.

‘The time has finally come.’

And I, who was left alone in the room, took out today’s reward from my inventory.

Rare item box.

This is a box where rare items come out randomly.

A light blue box with a yellow ribbon tied to it.

Rupan didn’t have an item like this, so I was curious about what would come out.

In the first place.

‘There’s no such thing as a rare grade.’

Weapons also exist like 4 stars and 5 stars. Unlike other games, there are no grades such as common, rare, legendary, ancient, and mythical.

No, it might be that rare in the first place.

Whatever.

‘In the end, you won’t know until you open it.’

I untied the well-wrapped yellow ribbon knot.

Then the box floated in the air, and the moment the lid was opened, light gushed out.

“…?”

The same box as the one I just unwrapped came out.

‘What?’

A notification window popped up when I was puzzled by an incomprehensible phenomenon.

[You have won a rare item box.]

“Is this also a rare item?”

I was dumbfounded and untied the ribbon knot once more.

[You have won a rare item box.]

Another duplicate item appeared.

‘Matryoshkaya.’

Couldn’t it be that the same box keeps appearing if you solve it without meeting certain conditions? Doubts passed by.

“Ah, no way.”

I hoped it wasn’t so, and when I unwrapped the ribbon again, fortunately, another item came out, not a box.

[Magic Increase Potion (+5): A rare potion that increases magical ability by 5 when taken.]

“Oh.”

An item that was better than I thought came out, enough to blow away the absurdity twice.

An item that increases the lowest magic power among my stats by 5 points.

I’m not a wizard, but seeing Pamela’s skill use, it’s an item that increases mana, a statistic that is likely to be involved in the maximum amount of skill.

Plus 5 each.

A figure that can be obtained only after catching 5 bandit executives, Rubid, and killing them all.

In other words, it’s like getting 5 rubids worth of points.

Getting an item like this just barely entered the academy.

‘You’re lucky.’

I immediately opened the bottle and swallowed the potion.

[Magic power has increased by 5.]

‘Status Window’

The notification popped up, but I opened the status window just to be sure.

Magic power level increased from 2 to 5 to 7.

Despite being a spearman, he boasted of having the highest magical power.

Thanks to the newly acquired skills and increased magic power, I am fierce.

‘I want to test.’

I felt the desire to write a great song.

Because it’s a great song.

Because it’s the final skill you get at the very end when you catch it with the Spear Tree.

That’s because it’s a skill that tells the story of a huge spear falling from the sky.

A skill itself that a man would like to use at least once.

An existence that is no different from the so-called spearman’s Meteor.

That was the perfect song.

However, there was no place to test it properly.

I really don’t know how the final skill is treated in this world.

There are many skills that do not have flashy effects even if they are the final skills. However, the climax is a directing in which a huge spear is plunged into the ground, just as the description says.

It’s cool, but when this happens in reality, the aftermath will be considerable.

At the moment of writing, it is unclear whether it falls from above my head or whether it really falls from the sky.

If it’s the latter, the moment you use it indoors, it will definitely damage the building.

But I can’t just use the skill I’ve acquired.

A perfect environment for writing Jeolchang.

A place where the surroundings are open and there is no problem using it.

After thinking about it for a while, a good idea came to my mind as if inspiration had come.

Yes.

“Let’s catch the bandit.”

I live outdoors with no buildings nearby

Even if you catch it, you won’t be cursed at, and it’s a rather beneficial existence by farming hoods and loot.

It was perfect for a bandit to test his skills.

In the first place, even if there are many bandits, it is better because they are useless except for loot farming.

Having decided on a policy, I left the room and knocked on Pamela’s door.

“Who, who are you?”

“Pamela, it’s me.”

The door opens with a sigh.

“Shi, Mr. Shihan? What are you doing?”

Pamela, who had changed from her gym clothes to her casual clothes, gently opened the door and pushed her face out.

“Seo, can’t it be extra physical training!? Shi-shi-shi-si-shi-san says he needs blood, hee-hee, I’ll do my best… I’ll do my best!”

Pamela shuddered.

Is it because I hate physical training so much?

I’ve never really overdone it.

“I didn’t come here for physical training.”

“Ah. Isn’t it?”

“I’m planning to go to Valendia tomorrow for business. I’m just here to tell you.”

“Are you Valendia? Me, me too…”

“No, you don’t have to come with us this time. It’s a personal matter. But leaving silently isn’t polite as a group, so I came to tell you.”

If you leave early in the morning without saying anything, it’s obvious that Pamela will be alone with negative thoughts.

“Uh… that’s right? It’s a nuisance if someone like me, me, me follows you all the time, right? It’s annoying, right? Chi, even friends, there’s a line that needs to be followed. Ha, hahahaha, hahahahaha…”

Pamela falls into a negative delusion by herself again and lets out a soulful laugh.

“If you want to follow me, you can follow me.”

“Oh, really!”

“Yeah. As long as I can do that after my physical training, that’s fine.”

“…Yes?”

“I’m going to Valendia tomorrow, so I’m going to do physical training in the morning. You won’t have classes tomorrow anyway. It’s perfect.”

“Uh… I can do it after I get back, can’t I?”

“The work in Valendia will take some time. You may come back late in the evening, so it’s better to do it in the morning. You shouldn’t miss even a day of physical training.”

“Hee, hee, I’ll do my best… I’ll do my best…”

And the next day.

“Hehhh! Hehhhhh…”

“With this, today’s physical training is over. Pamela, are you ready to leave for Valendia?”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I can’t, I can’t! I can’t move… I can’t…”

“I see. Is there anything you would like me to bring with you?”

“No… No. More than that, water…! Give me some water…!”

I decided to go to Valendia by myself.

After making sure Pamela went into the room, she headed to the avant-garde room in Lucidia Academy.

“You’re seeing this for the first time. Could you show me your badge? …OK. Which warp seat would you like to use?”

“This is Valendia.”

“You can use the warp stone on the far left. Put your hand on the warp stone and think you want to go to your destination. Please write your name and destination here before using it.”

After completing the entry, I approached the warp stone and placed my hand as instructed, thinking that I wanted to go to Valendia.

Nearby, I could see a signboard for the information center of the Valendia Branch Transfer Room and a guide waiting below it.

Looking back, the warp stone installed in Valendia was a bit far away.

I walked to the information center and asked the guide.

“Is this Valendia?”

“Yes! Welcome to Valendia! New to Warp?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for choosing Warp as Valendia in the first place! Aren’t you feeling sick to your stomach or dizzy?”

“No.”

“Thank you! If you don’t mind, please write your name here!”

It was only natural to come from Lukedia Academy anyway, so there was no need to write down the starting point.

After completing the entry and leaving the transfer room, the familiar scenery of Valendia came into view.

‘Shall we go?’

I moved to the Cats store to get preparations to test my skills.
