Translator: True Detective
Chapter 41 - How to Adapt to a New Environment (3)
Doesn’t that door break like that?
This was the thought I had when I saw the small, child-like feet clearly visible. It’s a mystery of the human body that such small feet can make such a loud sound.
Today again, Yggdrasil entered the classroom with majestic steps and her eyes lit up when she saw the desserts placed on the students’ desks.
“So class A this year is familiar with rumors?”
And then she smiled and waved her hand.
“Give as much as you can to anyone. Remember that. I never forget the people who give me something as a gift.”
It was truly a bold act of accepting a bribe. Guardian Academy, is this okay?
I seriously thought about it for a while, but decided to just forget about it. Because it’s a trap anyway.
In an instant, a long line formed in front of the teacher’s table.
Shin Baran, with her hair curled as always, was also holding a gift. She dared to come close to me, showing off a large and colorful dessert box, and then headed towards Yggdrasil, which was surrounded by students.
I didn’t know Shin Baran would do that too. Will it be okay?
Well, I guess it will be okay because Yggdrasil will accept them and guide them again when they come to their senses later.
There is a belief that the characters in this novel will quickly get out of the wrong place and onto the right path if they only realize that they’re lost.
I loved that about the characters in this novel. So even though I started with a recommendation from a friend, I kept reading it over and over again.
In the end, I couldn’t endure the crazy harem-making narrative and dropped out.
None of our club members prepared dessert.
Yggdrasil, who happily savored the dessert offered by the students, came to the place where we were sitting.
“Do you have anything to give me?”
“…I don’t.”
“None.”
“I didn’t bring it~”
“I won’t give it to you!”
“I didn’t bring it. I have no intention of giving it away in the future.”
I didn’t even know you liked desserts.
At my words, Yggdrasil looked straight at me and asked again.
“Are you planning on giving it to me?”
“No… I still don’t have any inconveniences.”
Then Yggdrasil looked back at us and smiled brightly.
“There are a lot of cocky kids here! Great! I’ll roll you!”
And just as she said, we rolled and rolled.
“Lee Hana! Your mana is scattered wildly! Collect more neatly!”
“Park Siwoo! You can’t even keep up with my grandmother! Look carefully! This is the Twilight Stream!”
“Choi Soojung! Don’t just use the wind, use your unique agility! What are you going to do if you give up close combat altogether?”
“Na Yuri! Is that your best? Be more aware of your body’s range of motion!”
“Posture! Na Yuhan! I know you’re in shape! First, practice while maintaining correct posture! You just need to be able to avoid falling asleep!”
“Kang Nahyun! Being a sniper isn’t just about shooting safely from afar! Learn how to quickly regain your position if you’re attacked!”
Even worse than yesterday.
Other students were whispering from afar as they watched us struggling.
“Why do they go through so much trouble doing that?”
“I know, right! As expected, they don’t deserve to be Miss Yuri’s friend! Miss Yuri got swept away for no reason…!”
The students who paid the bribe clearly underwent much lighter training than yesterday.
Some guys had already finished training and were leisurely resting in the back seat. It was a tearful gap.
We were tattered after rolling around all morning, and without any energy to speak, we barely chewed and swallowed our lunch.
“…But I think it definitely helps.”
I muttered helplessly. Scammer and Lee Hana nodded silently.
“Her teaching ability is top.”
Choi Soojung spoke leisurely and picked up an egg roll, but her arms were shaking due to muscle pain.
“She is someone that any academy in the world would want to invite.”
Na Yuri received the words with dead eyes.
Everyone seemed to be tired, so the meal continued in silence again.
Yes.
Yggdrasil is the strongest hunter herself, but her ability to teach and nurture new hunters is also unrivaled.
But if there is a downside—
“Is everyone here?!”
I heard a voice that stopped my thoughts. It was Yggdrasil.
Everyone except Scammer was horrified. What is this homeroom teacher going to do during lunch time?
No matter how helpful the training may be, it’s crossing the line to mess with it even during break time!
Yggdrasil, who trudged among us, who were very nervous, behaved differently than expected.
She took out bottles filled with a liquid that glowed softly with rainbow light and handed them to us one by one.
“What… is this?”
“Greatly effective recovery potion. There is also a plus ability improvement buff.”
Yggdrasil grinned and told me to drink it all, and then she disappeared.
We drank first. Because we didn’t know what would happen if we didn’t.
For some reason, my tongue twitched because I thought it would taste weird even though it was a great medicine, but fortunately, the potion had a subtle sweet taste.
The effect of the medicine took effect immediately and my mental strength recovered. Indeed, this is a potion given by Yggdrasil herself. The effect was amazing.
Thanks to this, we were able to attend afternoon classes without any problems.
The other students were shocked to see us who seemed to have no problem.
“What, are they monsters?”
“Did they have some kind of tonic…?”
“Aren’t they actually cyborgs?”
But I didn’t have time to worry about those rumors. For survival was the priority.
If it weren’t for the potion, I would have slept all afternoon. For real.
I finished the afternoon class relieved that I had completed the morning class smoothly.
When we reserved training room 101 and tried to run the simulation as usual, Yggdrasil suddenly invaded.
“Extra class!”
“Pardon?”
Rather, how did she know we were here? Stalker? Is she a stalker?
We were very bewildered.
On behalf of the frozen children, Scammer urgently attempted to speak out.
“Teacher, I find your classes really helpful. Still… I wonder if it’s bad to just practice all day to the point where it actually hinders growth…”
“The more you practice, the better! Isn’t that why you come here every day?”
How did she know that? She’s scary, Yggdrasil…
“I will supplement your training today. Hmm. Perfect!”
Yggdrasil said proudly, pounding her chest.
“And wouldn’t you all have recovered if you drank the potion I gave you earlier? Looks good enough. Because I thoroughly check how the students are doing!”
Is that why you gave us the potion?
I wanted to spit out the potion I drank and refuse Yggdrasil’s offer, but unfortunately, the potion had already been digested in my stomach a long time ago.
She spoke with a grin.
“Let’s do practical training during today’s training! You learn the real sense of combat by dealing with monsters and using items and artifacts together!”
In the end, we were forced to take a morning class strengthened version against monsters. I really felt like I was going to die.
The good news is that at the end of the training, she gave us the same effective potion that we drank during lunch.
We were completely exhausted, so we took the potion, drank it, and dispersed without saying a word.
Unfortunately, the hellish lessons of Yggdrasil continued after that.
“Kang Nahyun! Your Magic Bullet skill level is high! The current level of your Magic Bullet is at a level that allows you to get a sense of what type of magic the bullet will take at what time and what kind of power it will produce.”
“I… It’s not there yet, though…?”
“No, you can do it, do it!”
“…Yes!”
She gave a lot of teaching, and she tailored her instruction to each student individually.
“Choi Soojung, are there any changes in your thoughts? You’re more than a ranged wizard… Ranger or assassin type—”
“Nyahaha~ I like wizards.”
“…Hmm. Okay. If that’s what you think. If you change your mind, tell me.”
It seemed like she sometimes gave career advice when she felt like it.
Anyway, thanks to the daily training, we quickly developed teamwork.
It’s good that my skills are improving, but still, isn’t it a bit… too much training?
When we had gone through the stages of denial > anger > bargaining > depression and finally reached the stage of acceptance without making any fuss, Shin Baran joined us during the difficult training session in the afternoon.
She finally realized it.
Giving a bribe to Yggdrasil to reduce your training amount means being treated as an outcast by Yggdrasil.
Shin Baran, who walked strongly towards us, pointed at me and said.
“I’ll admit it! You were wise this time!”
Then she raised her dazzling bow and said,
“But I’ll catch up to you in no time. Unlike you, I’m investing very heavily in weapons!”
I looked down at the Academy entry-level standard gun I was holding.
I haven’t bought a new gun since my gun broke during the last gunman attack.
My current <Magic Bullet> skill level is 10.
This is because in order to withstand the firepower of a level 10 skill, it had to be a weapon made by a so-called special craftsman, a meister, or a weapon with the name ‘Meister’.
General weapon stores don’t have meister weapons. They can’t handle it accurately.
There are only a small number of people who can produce meister weapons, and they do business by receiving a very small number of customers through their connections or by recruiting people who pay a lot of money as members.
It’s truly a top tier world that is impossible to even access with the money I have in my pocket.
So now I’m practicing with the Academy entry-level standard gun, reducing the firepower as much as possible. I think of it as practicing controlling firepower.
Since meister weapons aren’t going to fall from the sky right now, I’m thinking of buying something suitable at the weapon shop.
“She will get it soon. A better weapon than yours.”
—I thought so, but?
Suddenly, Scammer appeared and interrupted the conversation. For the first time in a long time, he showed his unique, unlucky smile.
