The Golden Sun of the Academy

Episode 15

Kind Mr. Andrew(3)

The queen in the picture.

He was wearing a strange animal costume.

did i look wrong?

I rubbed my eyes. But still… … .

It was a picture of the queen in a baggy penguin outfit mixed with white and black, blushing as if she were embarrassed.

Perhaps because of the wide-open clothes and the special characteristics of being a little younger, her eyes, which normally soar high, are especially round in the photo.

There was no reason for her healthy and sharp image, fortified through training, there was only a shy girl.

this… … As far as I know If you buy the DLC, it must have been the illustration that comes with it.

The hand that held her picture was shaking.

-Yura Lee ver. festival photo.

Now she is 17. If the picture was taken before then… … .

‘Fuck, was that festival a middle school festival?’

Obviously, when the young boy first planned it, he would wear a cheongsam, and went around the neighborhood talking about it, but there was a reason why the final revision was changed to a penguin.

He finally gave in to the age limit… … Even for adults, there is a line that should not be crossed.

this… … You won’t be misunderstood if you hold it and shed it, right?

Let’s fold it up and put it in the pocket. There’s nothing more convenient than secretly throwing away… … . In the yard where Kanghyuk has already been through an accident, the further variable is specifications.

If I casually put it in my pants pocket, I might forget it, so I roughly stuffed her picture into my jacket’s front pocket.

‘I’m glad it goes like this.’

From the 2nd week, various systems that have been blocked so far are gradually opened and various activities are possible.

Starting with clubs, dungeon practice, mock battles, and devices to raise each character’s affinity are open.

Since arrogant kinds of actions are possible, the progression is also diverse.

“No, but… … Is it still a week away?”

It’s only been a week now… … . I don’t know why it feels so long.

That’s how I ended my weekend meeting Andrew in the evening.

* * *

＞3. When Andrew comes over in the evening and asks to do the same group the next day, I accept it. You have to do that with him in the repeatable favorability event on weekdays.

After the weekend, weekday morning.

“sun. A group like us!”

I let out Andrew’s voice through one ear and looked at the front of the classroom.

Of course, I didn’t mean to look at the blackboard in front of me. What I was focusing on was the screen projected through the large beam projector next to it.

– Mock dungeon practice team list.

1 team. Youngwoong Lee, Dongkyun Park, Yusuf, and Hyuk Kang.

Team 2 Cha Seung-hyeok, De Gire… … .

Team 3 Choi Gyuri… … .

… … .

… … .

7 teams. Lee Yoo-ra, Anastasia, Andrew, and Geum Tae-yang.

It was possible to roughly infer the composition of the team by looking at the characteristics of the assigned personnel.

Two people who can be placed in the front row and two people who can be placed in the back row are arranged in order of rank.

Arrangement according to the standard of a typical four-person expedition.

That was the reason Andrew came to see me in the evening. To do the same team in a team that can be adjusted at a level that does not harm the balance between team members.

A recurring event that changes in scale and concept, but periodically.

Mock dungeon practice.

“If you have an objection to the assignment of team members, do it now. It’s useless to go and cry and cry later. The progress method is group evaluation, and the dungeon setting is based on a small dungeon that has already been subjugated.”

Some cheer and some are disappointed.

The former is on the bus. The latter is probably the one who was forced to drive.

Lee Young-woong, who smiled while looking at the children selected as team members, caught my eye.

As the same man, I almost got annoyed at the sight of him promising a bus with a beautiful appearance that even made me feel strangely irritated.

‘No. Come to think of it, this might not be too bad… … .’

That’s why I’m staring at you with cold eyes.

Aren’t you just laughing nonchalantly?

Andrew emphasizes the triceps.

I hurriedly turned my head and looked at Kang Hyuk again.

A team that encourages Cha-seok to believe in himself.

‘… … .’

Seeing this, I am terrified.

I felt sorry for myself, thinking for a moment, “Isn’t this team at the top?”

As if that sentiment was reflected in my expression, the corners of Lee Yu-ra’s eyes soared as she looked at me.

‘Are you dissatisfied with me?’

‘no. I can’t believe it.’

Her piercing eyes seemed to be talking to her. I answered him quietly, averting my eyes.

It’s not even started yet, so let’s not bother the queen and make her feel uncomfortable.

“Then we move according to the assigned number of people.”

Listening to Kim Chan-ho’s words, we got up from our seats.

Our destination had to be moved quite far from the main building where classes were held. Even a place where you have to walk for a while and go down to the basement from the building you arrived at.

Well, since it is a practice where 100 people are put in at the same time, it would have taken up too much space if built on the ground, so it would have been built underground.

Even the building that soared above the ground was the size of several football fields, but going down underground, the senses were blurred and it was impossible to estimate its actual size.

A long line of doors is waiting in line along the circular corridor.

Behind me, through the glass window in one corner, I could see people in white lab coats setting something diligently.

“and… … .”

“oh… … .”

Anya, who was wearing the sniper rifle she had seen before on her back, turned her head around and looked around curiously, and Andrew sympathized with her with a face that showed off his excitement for his size.

“… … .”

Only our queen put her hand on the handle of the moon sword tied around her waist and pretended nothing happened.

“… … .”

I also followed her and refrained from unnecessary words.

Confidence gained through the battle with Arkham.

Originally, it was a testing ground that I would have just used to show off my swordsmanship, but the purpose changed through that battle.

-ah. ah. Check that the number assigned to each group is correct.

‘This dungeon is a kind of test.’

At the same time as the sound of steam escaping, the iron door split left and right, revealing the inside.

‘But I’m not the one being tested.’

– Let’s all do our best.

I looked at the members once.

It’s not that Arkham is missing, Andrew, who contacted him at an earlier time than the original, is the reason before he’s yet to grow up.

‘I’m testing them.’

How much?

With encouragement echoing through the speakers, we went inside.

The mock dungeon gave us an unpleasant feeling from the moment we took our first steps.

Inside a dark, damp dungeon. The radius of her field of vision had shrunk to the point where she could barely spot the person in front of her.

It was figured out right away. Due to the nature of dungeons where parts of the other world settle in the world, there were a limited number of dungeons that gave off this shady feeling, and I had fully anticipated where this place would be.

Cave Dungeon.

Among them, there is one dungeon that appears in the test by selecting the weakest.

To put it nicely, it is a place of proof that beginners go through. To put it a little twistedly, it is a sanctuary for newbies.

Goblin Oyster.

“Then let’s go. I’ll take the lead. You are at the very end, please be vigilant. And no yang and um… … .”

“My name is Andrew.”

To Lee Yoo-ra, who hesitated for a moment as if she couldn’t remember his name, Andrew added as if it was nothing. also… … . kind Andrew.

Lee Yoo-ra reacted as if she was rather shy at Andrew’s smile, which did not show any malice.

“… … Mr. Andrew, please support me from behind.”

“okay-!”

“Leave it alone… … .”

It seems that the reason is familiar. He gave orders and led the team.

The dark colors and humid texture of the dungeon made me feel uncomfortable, so the progress itself was smooth.

If a goblin appeared from the front, it would be sliced by Lee Yu-ra’s knife or knocked down by Anya’s sniping, and it would appear from behind.

– Chew.

Along with the sound of flesh splitting, red liquid splattered along the tip of the swinging sword, and the head was neatly cut off.

I looked down at the goblin, who was not able to resist the accurate foot sword without any superfluity.

There was no need to even bring out a sword against these guys.

“Oh oh. Sun Nice.”

“It was good~ Taeyang.”

Anya and Andrew said nice things to see if they were satisfied.

“Not bad… … It’s not… … .”

Even Lee Yoo-ra felt embarrassed, but it was the tone of admitting that she had to admit it.

The narrowed eyebrows and slightly protruding mouth made it all the more strange, as if I was hoping for an accident.

I hate to admit it, but… … That was fine. just that much?

‘hmm… … I’m a little sorry.’

It was sad in a double sense. One is the attitude of evaluating the swordsmanship of Taeyang Geum, who has a good knowledge of swordsmanship. Although this is understandable enough considering the relationship diagram.

The attitude of evaluating Andrew was wrong.

Andrew is not your average healer.

It was her mistake of not collecting the information of the team members even briefly before the attack.

Will you be full on the first drink?

Even with this feeling, the thought of wanting to lightly press down on that arrogantly soaring nose that prides itself on having done it perfectly leaked out.

It’s like the feeling of an uncle who wants to make fun of his cute nephew. Anyway, this feeling can be solved in the boss room, so I suppressed it.

How long had it been since he proceeded to slice through the goblins?

I was able to arrive in front of the boss room, the core of the dungeon. No matter what concept the dungeon is, there is an end in the end.

Well, if you go to the higher dungeons, there are bizarre dungeons, and the clearing conditions also exist in thousands of different ways according to them… … It’s still the foundation of the basics, but it’s going to be special. It’s the level where you just hit it and catch the boss mob.

And where we went inside to catch the boss mob, there was a guy waiting for us who seemed to have matched our level.

Goblins serve two kings.

The mother queen who gave birth to and raised them. and… … .

A leader who will protect and guide them.

These guys don’t choose a boss among themselves.

It doesn’t change that it’s a rubbish mob even if it’s chosen among the same people.

So, they kidnap the offspring of strong heterogeneous people who live alone.

and grow

They thoroughly protect themselves until they become fully grown adults and can protect themselves.

They die trying to save the guy they kidnapped to protect them.

that makes a king

He was sitting on a bony throne carved out of stone and the skull of an animal.

A monster that can handle mana in earnest.

If you become an adult, you can defeat a small dungeon alone, and an ogre that occupies a top spot among greenskins.

If it had been a normal dungeon, I would have jumped out of it a long time ago, but this is a testing ground made of illusions and holograms.

Right now, forcibly confined to the throne, he was looking down at us with blank eyes.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just one step.

I just took a step into the boss room, but the guy’s eyes change. Life begins to circulate in its eyes, and the queen steps back with the goblins nearby.

Lee Yoo-ra, who always made me look up from above, now stands below the stage.

Ogre looked down at Lee Yu-ra, who was standing at the front.

I also looked at her from behind.

Two pairs of pupils asked her.

reason

What are you going to do?

For the first time, a confident smile broke from her face, and she bit her lower lip hard.

Because of her self-confident personality, she won’t back down easily.

That’s why even more.

This place was an evaluation and, at the same time, an opportunity to change the impression of Andrew and me.
