Count Scribe's Tutor

Just after the battle began.

Boom!

Kurd rises from his seat. Just when the five warriors came up to the square, his face was wide open. But now, I can't find any room in Kurd.

Instead, I was filled with horror.

“This, the seven deadly spirits?! ”

A distrustful cry erupted. His gaze was fixed on the seven eyed demons who suddenly appeared in the square.

Who swallows all magic. It's like a nightmare for wizards. A highest-ranking evil spirit, known to be impossible to summon, was by your side, unless you were an incredibly powerful commander.

“How the hell. ”

I knew he had talent. Even more talented than that. I was jealous of that. I even told him I didn't have the talent for command.

Is that so? I couldn't stand the burning flames of jealousy when I returned to the outside world for a moment.

“How can such an outrageous ghost give that hybrid. ”

That's why I thought it was just a Great Person. Because his mother was that angry. Of course, it does not lead to violence, but he speculated that it is just that.

But the reality was different.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Kurd's eyes have once again turned big. When a ranker swings his iron mace, he sees that it was stopped.

Corrupt Ghost Knight.

In a way, he was more rare than Durahan or Desknight.

He would, because he used to roam around the spirits and take physical hits when he was immune to any physical attack, defending or attacking.

If the Seven Sin Spirits were the nightmares of the Wizards, the Corrupt Ghost Knights were a nightmare for warriors. Perhaps if I let one of those loose here, the Serenek Forest will turn to hell.

Cadduk!

Kurt bites his nails hard.

Nervous expression. He shudders and mutters.

“· · · · · · Measures, measures. ”

Not like this. Even if it's a little too much, we have to be sure. Curd, who was dumbfounded, mumbled like this, soon turned and headed out of the square.

“Kurdish?”

“Where are you going? No exams yet. ”

Kurd frowns at their words.

Idiots. Don't you even know that? The first test is no longer necessary. A conqueror of the silver-tipped arcade. Then I'll have to bet everything on the second test.

Kurd's eyes flash fiercely.

* * *

Three warriors have already been killed.

I was beaten by a hybrid, or half of a silvan arcade. Some of them were considered to be the most skilled young warriors.

‘I can't believe it's my turn. ’

The Red Mud Warrior stares at the center of the square. At first, I thought I was lucky. But the more I fought, the more I felt I was mistaken.

I don't know what I did, but that was definitely the skill of practice.

Qajik!

At that time, I saw the fourth warrior flying over the wooden fence. In fact, he wields his sword, and the warrior bounces off the square as if he had been beaten by Lance.

“Winner, Silvan Arcdue. ”

After Harmin's words were finished, Runter stood up straight away. Now it's his turn. Even though all of the best warriors were killed, there was no fear on his face. Rather, his eyes glowed with excitement.

‘This is an opportunity. ’

The previous warriors were defeated without touching the end of their clothes. This was as if he proved to be better than the other warriors if he could hit even one.

Let's hit one more and one less.

Runter's purpose has changed. He climbs into the square and throws off all his heavy armor. He then held two spears in both hands.

"When the battle begins." ’

Let's rush in without looking back and forth. I'll give you no room for tricks. I'll give you one shot. The runter repeats its elongated purpose as if it were chanting a spell.

At that moment, Harmin's cry echoes through the square.

“Battle begins! ”

As the signal ends, the runter leaps to the realm. You cast the spear of your left hand first, not allowing him any room to escape.

Boom, boom, boom!

But the spear is blocked by something. Then you'd better avoid the front. Immediately turning, the runner lowers and crowds rapidly.

As a result, they were able to reach the footprint of reality.

‘Just one more punch! ’

You reach the spear in your right hand forward. At the same time, I met the golden eyes of the realm. Was he surprised by the surprise? It seemed as if my eyes had grown tired.

But it's too late.

The moment Runter laughed.

Spooky

I felt goosebumps all over my body for a moment.

In the meantime, the spear stops in front of you. The spear trembles. No, the spear's not shaking. His arms and legs tremble. Like a rat in front of a snake.

I only need one more stroke, but my arm doesn't move. My legs, my head, my whole body didn't move.

Thump, thump!

Heart beats fast. I feel dizzy and cold sweating.

As he felt the world spinning, the runter finally dropped his spear.

“Woof! Woof! ”

Yellow debris drenched the square. After that, he trembles and falls down on the debris. Then, in reality, he caught a glimpse of the eyes that were watching him.

Still quiet in the square. Harmin checks on the runter and calls for those waiting outside. As he was carried out, he soon turned his gaze to reality.

‘Strange fellow. ’

Harmin's eyes are darkened.

Once upon a time, I lived like a rat in mockery and ignorance of my clan. In just half a year, I came back as a completely different person. But I couldn't help but wonder. Now he was a judge, not a warrior.

So I raised my hand to declare victory.

“Winner, Actual · · · · · · · · ·. ”

But I couldn't. It's because the reality of the stars has turned around.

Overwhelmed

The sound of his footsteps breaks the silence that fills the square. The statue beyond the wooden fence will soon be restored. The headband opens its mouth to see a young soldier with blue hair there.

“Teacher.”

His voice knocks as if to knock on the silent atmosphere.

He smiles widely, gazing at Ferda.

“Everyone came back victorious. ”

After that, the gaze on the left turned to Ferda. Human? No, you call humans teachers now? Seeing that kind of conversation, most of them seem to have finally recognized Ferda.

Meanwhile, Ferda had a hunch. You're going to set an example for the Dark Elves who ignored reality and even confront Ferda. I could see it clearly and smiled.

“Yes, well done. ”

I reached out my hand and stroked his head as if it were a knot. Crude but pleasant touch, he smiled as he laughed.

“Chief candidate, Silvan Archdut. ”

You hear Harmin's voice behind your back.

In fact, he turns his head. Unlike when I dealt with Ferda, she was expressionless.

“Congratulations on passing your first test. ”

“Thank you."

“Will you take the second test right away? ”

In fact, he looked back at Ferda. It was like asking what to do. Ferda nods, and the answer is the same.

“Yes. I'll take the test. ”

“Good. Then I'll move the place. ”

That was the end of the line. The group heads for the north entrance.

In the meantime, the number of Dark Elves who came to watch has doubled. They must have gathered after hearing that they passed the first test.

Shortly after, the group arrives at the north entrance.

Despite the passageway out of the city, Harmin talks to Silvan.

“The second is the test of the barrel. It's a test to verify the candidate's aspirations and leadership. Unlike the power test, the rules are a bit complicated, so listen carefully. ”

With a short cough, he adds.

“First, we need to gather the candidates here. ”

“The Force? ”

“Yes, it doesn't matter what existing power you have, you can create a new one at all. Let me give you an example."

Harmin walks past the wall. He raises his giant axe high to the place where the warriors gather. Then I shouted in a loud voice.

“I am Harmin Gember, the seventh warrior in the forest! Followers of the world's numbered calling! Raise your weapons!”

“Waaaahhhh!”

“Harmin, the neutral warrior! ”

Dozens of warriors hold up their bows and spears in response.

After a short while, Harmin turns his head again as the cheer subsides.

“Do you understand?”

“· · · · · · · · I don't know anything. ”

Harmin looks embarrassed as he replies with a fat face. How can we explain it more easily? While thinking about it, Ferda, who was silent, stepped out.

“In short, make one that follows you. ”

“Aha.”

He nods as if he understood.

However, for a moment, the reality narrowed its eyes.

“But the person who should follow me here. ”

His gaze glanced at the audience. Of all the people in the world, is there anything you can call his power? No matter how much I think about it, the answer is no. ’.

“Just in case. Now that you have passed your first test successfully, there may be those who wish to become your own. ”

Harmin adds a comforting expression, but his expression still trembles. Seeing that, Ferda nods quietly. It was because his reaction was understandable enough.

You only passed the test, and now you want me to be in power?

You haven't treated your own kind in over a decade. That can't be right. However, Harmin shouts, raising his arm high, as if he didn't think so.

“A candidate for the chief's test, Silvan Archdut! Follow the young man here, raise your weapon! ”

Harmin's voice echoes like a echo.

Then came the silence.

The square is silent enough to cry out loudly. No one holds a weapon. Was it something unexpected? Harmin looks embarrassed.

Chop chop.

Then a screamer suddenly came up to the car. It was Ferda.

The reality of discovering it flashed.

Harmin sighs as if he didn't expect this.

“Hnng, I don't want to do this. ”

“Why?”

“Do you really not know? ”

“Yes, I think I just need you. ”

The big golden eyes sparkle naively. It was a strong look of trust without a doubt. However, Harmin's darkened face rarely extends.

“As I said before, this test is the test of Tongsol. That's why you can't take this test. Instead, the forces following you participate and take the test. ”

“What kind of test? ”

You closed Harmin's mouth at the end of the question. His gaze is toward the cave facing outward. Immediately, I heard an answer.

“To fight a hundred warriors in the jungle. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The answer surprised me quite a bit. I thought I'd fight at most five, like in the Power test. A hundred? There were too many.

“But there's only one. ”

Like Harmin said, it was a reckless fight. Even though Ferda was strong, this was difficult. As I was thinking of Smurfette, I suddenly remembered someone.

The one who showed overwhelming firepower in multiple battles.

In fact, he opened his mouth with a bright face.

“Oh, there's one more. My kinsman, Heron. ”

“The Undead are not included in the force. ”

But then, someone cut him off. The guy with the puppy eyes. The man who made Silvan take the chief's test. Kurd Arganda.

“Because the Undead were born with the power of a commander. That means it belongs to you. I can't say it's a force that follows you. ”

In fact, he looked at Harmin. He asks for the answer of judgment. Harmin nods and raises Kurd's hand.

“Kurd's right. The undead cannot take the test. ”

“That means · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“It means that only he can participate in the trial. ”

Harmin's dull fingers point to Ferda.

He bit his lip slightly. There was a conflict on my worried face.

I believe Ferda's skill, but there are hundreds of them. In fact, I hesitated because there was a possibility that one would go wrong.

“You have two choices. ”

Then Harmin spread his two fingers.

“Abandon the test, or let him participate. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

In fact, I closed my mouth. After much thought, he glances at Ferda. When he looked at me, he tried to open his mouth. But Kurd's words were one step ahead.

“I have one thing to say first. ”

“What is it?”

“The location of the Tongssol's test has changed. ”

Harmin twitches his eyebrows, frightening to the end.

He replied with a slightly fierce look.

“· · · · · · · I've never heard of it. ”

“Of course you are. It just changed.”

Changing the test venue on your own without the Judgment's consent? This was an act that could never be ruled. Harmin shakes her head immediately.

“Unacceptable. That is unacceptable. ”

“First, listen to me. I didn't change it because I wanted to. ”

“What's that noise again? ”

“I received a report from Suu a while ago. ”

Kurd, who stopped Harmin, points over the passageway.

Then he spoke with a serious face.

“The North Forest is swarming with fire. ”

“What?"

“And the undead, I hear. ”

Harmin's face changed severely. Not only that. The Dark Elves who were watching around were also wandering around. If that's true, then this isn't usually a big deal.

“So I changed the place randomly. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. ”

Kurd bows slightly.

Harmin opens her mouth after a moment of deliberation.

“· · · · · · First, I will find out the authenticity of the answer. ”

At the end of the sentence, ten warriors who followed Harmin fled to the cave.

After a while, the returning warriors reported the same thing. The forest is in ashes and there are signs of undead burning everywhere.

It was the moment Kurd's words became clear.

“I see. I take your word for it. ”

Reports say it's no big deal to stop the chief's test. Harmin nods, looking back at Kurd and asking.

“So where's the change? ”

The test of Tongsol was as important as the large number of people participating. Kurd smiles coldly as Harmin asks.

“The Phantom Cave. ”

A contemptible smile appeared.

At that moment, Irea, who was nearby, suddenly woke up. Then the frostbite bursts into old age.
