EP25 - Assassination of the Professor: Why Professor Dante?(3)
Suddenly struck by a question, Elize decided to test it.
"You want me to throw this ball?""It was a request made to Maid Lucy."
"Yes.""...Why?""Just." Do it."Hmm." Got it. Here!The location is the backyard behind the academic building.
Maid Lucy threw the ball.
Eyes that follow without me realizing.
"Elise." Did I throw it?"Ah."First of all, I will run." Running is exciting. It's good to hold the ball. The path that brings you here is not bad either.
"Here it is.""So for now, I returned the ball to Lucy."
“……?"Why is that?"
I didn't feel the same way as before.
Something, a feeling of being fulfilled.
Why?
"Sister." Throw it one more time."Again?" Got it."But this time, um......"Eliza frowned and scratched her pink hair."
What was the difference? What about earlier and now?
“잘했다고 Do it. 'Good job~' and."What?"?"Huh?""Why would I do that for you...?" Telling someone to fetch a ball and then praising them is something you do to a dog."Oh, right?"Something is getting strange again. Still, I asked for it. Please give me a compliment.
"Really." Why is this happening... 일단 Got it. Are you going to throw it?”
"Yes."”
“Here!Soon Lucy threw the ball. Ellie ran quickly to pick up the ball and came back.
"Uh, um." Good job...!”
“……."Oh, how kind." Our Elize...! So nice! So nice!Lucy was a bit confused. I don't know if this is right or not, but I did it because I was told to. While I was at it, I hugged Elise and even patted her head. Because of being tall, even standing on tiptoes.
‘Um…….However, Eliezer thought that it was still just that.
It's good, but.
So, being hugged and petted like that feels quite nice because it gives a sense of being adored, right?
Hmm, how should I put it... It feels like a firework going off in a corner of my heart! Bang! There was no feeling of wanting to burst out and say let's do it again.
'Why is Professor Dante different...?This was the instinctive recognition of the difference between the 'master' and the 'non-master' by the descendants of the beast tribe, but Elize did not know that fact, and lunch was pork ribs.
"It's delicious.""Right?""After eating meat, bones are left behind. What a brilliant idea!"
What has the empire been doing all this time?
Without giving the Nobel Peace Prize to the person who invented this.
Joaquin Hilaban.
Graduate of Wolyeong Academy.
After two failed assassination attempts on the first day of work, I harbored ill intentions and planned a proxy assassination.
After that, frustrated by the failed assassination attempt and being apprehended. Received disciplinary action number 9.
After refusing to attend class for a while, penalty point 2.I remember that I was working hard on community service to avoid expulsion because of my 9 points.
Joaquin: 'I can finally assassinate you now.The purpose seemed to be 'assassination of the professor'.
As the vacation began, I thought things would quiet down a bit, but I was still a professor in the Department of Assassination.
If there is a difference from the past, it is that now I do not rely on luck or passively get swept away.
According to the [minimap], the location is on the tree behind my back.
For now, I started to walk slowly.
Watching the guy's movements.
[Joaquin: 'Let's not get too close...'] It might get discovered like before. Such a thing must not happen. I have to stake everything I can on this assassination.He was surprisingly serious about it.
Joaquin: 'Street, breath, steps... I need to focus.'Joaquin: 'That person's senses were at a monster level.'Joaquin: 'Let's get tense.' Let's be more tense.That felt quite strange.
What was the reason Joaquín cursed at me?
Because the assassination was done carelessly.
But now it was different.
Joaquin: 'If it's today, I can do it.Joaquin: 'I have been waiting for today.' I am.It seems that something has been prepared thoroughly.
What could that be?
Joaquin's main focus is [Stealth] and the support is [Throwing].
If it's about throwing, I might need to pay a little more attention.
"World Forgery: Shape Forgery [Dante]"
And so, when the body was covered by the tree, I used [illusion] to make the fake Dante move.
I confirmed that it was caught on Joaquin's finger.
-
"Ring of the Exiled Deity Ω" [Rare, Stigmata]
It was astonishing. [Stigmata] Ring.
Moreover, it's the ring of the God of Death.
‘......You have prepared well, huh.Where did that come from? I also occasionally check the auction houses, but it was a property that I just couldn't find.
The preparation is virtual. I had no choice but to admit it.
There was a reason for this.
‘The God of Death Ω is the counter to [Illusion].The "Star of the End" symbolizes the "end." Thus, it has various contexts related to 'the end'.
For example, the scythe of death "Grim Reaper" wielded by Professor Angela.
The imperial religion "Go WorldΩ" that sought to find freedom by letting go of the mind at the end of suffering corresponds to this.
"And it has numerous attributes and options that greatly increase entropy."Here, entropy simply means 'loss of order'.
Increasing entropy means that ink dissolved in water mixes extremely quickly.
The heat of the whole world suddenly becomes similar.
means etc.
And the factors that amplify this are 'vibration', 'explosion', and so on.
The two can instantly break apart the illusion (a highly ordered yet fragile magical structure).
To put it more simply, the ripple from the [stigmataΩ] coming from that ring feels like continuously scratching the entire space with a fingernail.The moment that guy unleashes the [stigmata] on the ring, the [illusion] within a certain range will shatter.
Conclusion: Joaquin has obtained that rare ring to prevent me from using my [illusion].
Joaquin: 'I will definitely assassinate you, Professor Dante.But something feels strange.
I specialize in [illusion], but what is known to the outside might be slightly different, right?
Isn't that so? Everyone is under the illusion that I am incredibly strong. They say they can wield both magic and the sword of victory.
But what does that guy believe, thinking that if he breaks just one [illusion], he can defeat me?
Moreover...There was some bad news for Joaquin.
I have calculated the output of that ring.
Roughly [0.It seemed like it would be around 650.
However, to break my 'world forgery' at present, even if it uses 'vibration' or 'explosion'.I had to bring in more than 900 stigmata.
In other words, even though the compatibility is advantageous, that ring does not work for me due to the pure weight class difference.
‘...Well, it doesn't matter. Whether it connects or not. Right now, that's not important.I think it went well.
Because I needed practical experience.
Joaquin was confident in his [stealth]. Especially during the movement in stealth, he thought he was the best of the Moonlight Academy.
As Joaquin moved on the tree, one branch did not move.
Then the reason the steps stopped was that Professor Dante's pace had slowed.
It's now.At the moment he finally stopped walking, the mark of the divine from the ring was manifested.
―― .
With a strange sound, the world begins to ripple.
It relentlessly scratches even the skin on the cheeks and the back of the hands of the caster, Joaquin.
With this, Professor Dante's [0millusion[0m has been sealed. With confidence, Joaquin came down from the tree.
"This is it." Professor Dante."With the seven pieces of the 'Thunder Sword' hanging from both hands, Joaquin said.
"It seems you knew I was approaching." But you probably didn't know my strategy.”
“……."Your illusion has now been perfectly sealed." And now I am thinking of starting the assassination. Do you have a will?”
“…….Then Professor Dante looks back at himself.
It was the same as the first day.
The gaze that looks down as if I myself am something noble, like a challenger, or perhaps even a duke or a king.
However, it has already seen through the empty bravado.
"If there isn't any, I will kill you."The reason I didn't ambush was because I was curious about the will.
Now it didn't matter anymore.
Joaquin threw the shuriken like lightning.
At the same time, they rushed to the land with the method of [protection].
If you don't dodge, you'll be hit by a shuriken; if you do dodge, you'll be hit by a kick. Joaquin did not doubt this connection technique. At the end, a fist was seen.
Bang!!
The head turns. As Joaquin was pushed back, Dante turned his head to avoid the shuriken.
'Huh??I urgently got up. My mind starts to go blank. What could this be about? It was said that pure military power is declining. That movement just now...
"Joaquin Hilaban.""At that time, Professor Dante said."
"Is this a professor assassination?""With his mind blank, Joaquin spread his lats and puffed up his body as he always did." Like a habit.
"Yes." So what? What are you going to do? Yes?"However, right after speaking." I felt like I had given a wrong answer. Strangely, Dante's mouth was curved.
Did that professor just laugh?
"I see." It's the assassination of a professor.Dante bent down and moved.
"I understand.""After that, the battle resumed." Joaquin throws the shuriken, alters its trajectory, and infuses it with magical power through the thread connected in the middle. A small explosion and an electric shock occurred.
However, Professor Dante casually avoided it, kicked himself away, and swung his fist.
Each shot was heavy. The weight class difference was obvious. The face is bursting. The jaw is twisted.
Bang!!
A fist is stuck in the lower abdomen. ‘Gah!’I can't breathe. Because it was adjusted.
"Hah... Hah..."The sensation of blood being drawn out of the entire body. A feeling of emptiness in my head. Forcing the body that was about to fall over to stand up and spreading the back stance. Joaquin couldn't shake the feeling that something was strange.
Strong thing? That was strange too. Of course it's strange. I am being beaten like this.
However, for some reason, it seemed that I occasionally saw [illusion]. If you think a punch is coming from the left and you dodge to the right, that punch has disappeared while another punch has struck your face.
"...learning, lower jaw...." Damn.... What on earth is this...?"Sreung!"
After exhausting all 20 shurikens he brought, Joaquin took out a dagger. However, it was a disaster. Joaquin's level in combat skills was not remarkable.
다시금 고고한 걸음으로 다가오는 Professor Dante.
Desperate, Joaquin shouted.
"What is it!" What on earth happened here!"What."It is different from the revelation of the stars. Why is that?
Why is Professor Dante so strong?
Bang!
Joaquin, with his face turned, shouted loudly.
"Oh, damn!"! Yes, Professor Dante! How can you fight like this...?!"What does that mean?""You are weak!" Pure brute force is weak!! I came knowing everything!!”
“??Dante frowned.
Then, as if not understanding, they asked.
"How can a weak assassin become a senior professor?""Ah.... "Th-that's..."
"It seems you dreamed alone.""Joaquin's mouth dropped open."
The stars clearly revealed it through a prophecy, and he followed it as it was. This assassination involved the efforts of Joaquin over the past few months. It was something that must not be ruined.
But why on earth? Are you saying that Professor Dante is this strong?
"...damn, damn, damn!" Don't be ridiculous!!"Joaquin let out a howl and charged at him." However, my upper body fell forward as if it had hit an invisible wall.
Bang!
Professor Dante kicked the face with his foot.
Since then, I have charged in dozens of times, gritting my teeth, but each time my head would turn, my eyes would burst, I would have a nosebleed, and my teeth would often get knocked out.
"Give up." The assassination of the professor has failed."I hate poetry!" I will assassinate you! Absolutely!!"I lunged at it as if in a frenzy." In the next moment, Joaquin's head was slammed into the ground.
I tried to lift my head urgently, but as my head shook, the damp earth on the ground touched my cheek.
The professor was stepping on his own head.
"Give up.""I don't want to..." At this point, Joaquin was about to have a seizure.
Phew.
A knife was stuck in front of me.
Joaquin was so surprised that he couldn't make a sound.
"That's enough." Excessive. Joaquin Hilavan.The stern voice of an adult.
I broke Joaquin's heart.
"With this, you have already thrust a third knife at me.""Immediately after hearing those words, Joaquin began to feel the unbearable agony of existence."
Because I knew what the next words would be.
Quit the class.
It's as lacking in sincerity as a bug.
Then insult yourself. To despise. It will bring shame. Professor Dante is always that kind of person.
Because I thought that way.
At the continuation of the conversation, Joaquin's mind went blank.
"You've grown a lot.""Joaquin opened his eyes wide."
It was a statement that was hard to understand.
It would have been nothing more than a disastrous failure like before.
A lot, has it increased?
"Your assassination was done with great care." Furthermore, I have also gained valuable experience with your help, so I will not retaliate any further."Amidst the confusion in my mind."
Joaquin began to feel a strange emotion.
No way...
Professor Dante, as someone who has become a professor...
At that time and now, have you been saying such things to raise yourself as an assassin?
Then perhaps he had misunderstood Professor Dante... Professor Dante is better than expected...
"Joaquin Hilaban.""Ah, yes...." Professor...
"You attempted an assassination in the middle of class time, and although it was so clumsy that it was questionable whether it was really an assassination, you admitted it with your own mouth.""...Yes?""Joaquin blinked."
Uh.
The emotion I felt suddenly washes away.
What is it.
It was when I felt that something about the atmosphere had become strange.
"You have 0 penalty points."5 points will be given.Dante extended his palm.
"I will seize the ring.""* * *\n│mㅇ)\n│) =3\n* * *\nIn the end, Joaquin, who had his ring taken away, thought."
I was a fool for being briefly moved.
"You were laughing at the thought of confiscating my ring."My stomach started to turn.
Human scum Professor Dante!!
‘Aaaah!”!However, Joaquin quickly shook off his despair. Because the moment you give up, you realize that humanity comes to a halt.
In other words, the moment one stops here, they will never be able to assassinate Professor Dante.
And then, at some point, in the time approaching the end of life. Holding Marina's hand in the hospital bed. Even when facing eternal rest and meeting death in blessing, I felt that I would regret it at least once. I should have not given up on assassinating the professor back then...
That cannot be the case.
“내 이름은 Joaquin Hilavan.He smiled manfully and made a promise.
"...I will never give up.""The assassination of Joaquin continues."
