36 – Academy Support – 3

The location Cecil told me was a canyon one day away from the academy.

Of course, it was also a distance where I could go faster if I walked and used light air, so I used light air as soon as I left the academy.

It took less than two hours to cover a day’s distance on foot.

“Um…”

I came to the canyon where the fire pit was discovered, but how can I find it?

I thought about it after blowing a shot into the chest of a monster resembling a bear that was approaching me with hostility.

Looking at it, there are quite a few demons that can be caught around the gorge.

In other words, one of these demons is called Fire Tiger… But there are so many monsters, I don’t know what they are.

Shouldn’t you just kill them in order of strength?

First of all, the side with the strongest demonic energy around here was a short distance north of here. The only thing that bothered me was that there were other energies nearby besides Magi.

Aren’t you supposed to be a competitor?

I headed right there and ran into people with different auras.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

It was a man and a woman. It was a surprisingly familiar face.

“That way…”

“hahahahaha. Hello.”

Theros and Lyla.

When I first came to the academy, they were siblings who fought each other.

At that time, we really fought each other like we were going to kill each other.

“Aren’t you the one with Professor Cecil?”

Lila asked, tilting her head. I also remembered them.

“Yes. Nice to meet you. My name is Cheonyeong.”

“Wow~. I didn’t expect to meet you in a place like this! Nice to meet you!”

A bright smile was on her face, unlike the previous fight with Theros, frowning her face.

“Yeah~. Look at how he manages his expression just because he met a handsome man. It’s not a bit disgusting… Oh!”

A magic bullet flew into the abdomen of Theros who was muttering to Layla.

While Theros was hit by it, she came to her with a smiley face, and looked around and said.

“By the way, what’s going on here? This is a place where there are a lot of monsters, so it’s difficult to go around carelessly.”

“I’m here to catch Hwa-Ho. Professor Cecil said I need Hwa-Ho’s heart. I also need Hwa-Ho’s claws.”

“Oh! That’s great! We’re also looking for Hwa-ho!”

Huh? Are you a competitor?

“What we need is a piece of hair filled with fire flames. It often remains where it used to be.”

Ah. You need something else. Then it would be better to cooperate than to compete.

“This is also meant to be, so why don’t we move together? Hwa-ho is so strong that even we can’t deal with it, and he’s also a very wary monster, so it’s not easy to find.”

“You seem to know me well.”

“Hohoho. Yes. It’s embarrassing, but monster ecology always gets high marks. Unlike my mother’s son over there.”

How can they be such warm-hearted siblings? She neatly ignored Theros who was swearing at her from behind, and Lyla suggested a party, and she had no reason to refuse, so she accepted it.

“But I don’t know how much Cheonyoung’s skills are…”

“Enough to protect myself.”

“Oh. You’re humble too. Can I do a quick test of your skills?”

Theros steps out with a smile. This time, Lila didn’t stop either.

Well, this is correct. No matter how much I said I was with Cecile, it was only right to check my actual skills.

But there was no need to fight here.

I pulled out my sword and blew my energy into it. At that moment, a vivid blue aura began to surround the sword.

“…Swordsmanship?! It’s so vivid?! That’s it. You’re such an amazing person!”

Theros smiled awkwardly and raised his hammer. Then, a faint blue aura begins to emanate from his hammer.

However, seeing that it shakes differently from mine and repeatedly disappears and appears, it seems that it has not yet perfectly controlled its qi.

“Brother. How much is that?”

“It’s at the level of a master class. I’m guessing it’s about the level of the instructors… Anyway, your skills are solid. Thank you for your support.”

“I would like to ask for your support. More than that, why are you guys asking for the fur that contains the flames of the fire? A request? Or…”

“Ah… Ahahahaha. That’s…”

“That girl wants to learn a new magic, but she said she couldn’t learn it because there were too many penalty points. At the academy, you can cancel the penalty by bringing special ingredients.”

“Ehehehe~.”

Contrary to his calm appearance, he seems to have a lot of accidents.

Well, looking at the fights you had last time, it seems like you don’t care when you’re angry.

“I wonder if that kiang will be able to get married or not. This oppa is really worried… Big!”

“Ahahahaha. Oppa is really~! What did I say~?”

After firing another magic bullet, she dragged Theros away and began to say something about her.

She said to the small sound coming through the wind, ‘If I keep talking bullsh*t, my magic might be aiming for a harsh place when I go home after work.’ It was a pretty serious story.

Breaking into a cold sweat, Theros nodded her head, and when the conversation was over, the two siblings smiled amicably and approached me.

“Then let’s go!”

“hahahaha. You two are really good.”

“Hohohoho. Yes. I’m taking care of you a lot! Ohhohohoho!”

“Ah, ahahahaha. That’s right.”

She looks pretty sorry for Theros.

I could feel demonic energy with my senses, but I couldn’t sense what kind of monster it was.

If you’ve seen a monster once, you’ll remember the traits of demons, but you should have seen Hwa-ho before.

So, it was quite convenient for me to entrust the search to them.

“Where did you learn swords anyway?”

It seems Layla is in charge of the search for monsters. Theros completely fell behind and came next to me following me.

Where did you learn the sword…

“I am self-taught.”

“Wow. To the extent that you can pull out sword skills by self-taught? That’s amazing.”

“It’s just that many opportunities overlapped. I was also on the lucky side. And… A battle? The experience of fighting strong people helped me a lot.”

“That’s a very principled statement.”

“Originally, the way to get stronger is better than an apostle. It’s slow, but it’s more stable to build up step by step.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

Anxiety in his voice.

I can use my energy, but it seems that I am feeling impatient because I am not perfect yet.

Just one step. If you take one step, you can reach the state, but it seems to bother you that you can’t take it.

Because of that kind of impatience, your skills may rather deteriorate, or in the worst case, you may get caught in a magic spell.

Since he is Cecil’s disciple and someone he can communicate with, it would be better to say something.

“There is a saying called a water droplet. Falling water drops pierce a stone. If you can’t step forward, how about going back to the beginning?

“…It’s not easy. Falling water drops… The basics. The basics… Well, the basics are the most important thing, right?”

Some people got angry when I gave these teachings.

To start over from the basics is tantamount to denying what has been built up until now.

However, Theros began to think with a serious expression, befitting a communicative person. And he seemed a bit relieved when he came to that conclusion.

“That would be better. I was focusing too much on how to use energy. I’m the one using it. I’ll have to start over by training myself.”

He smirked and bowed to me.

“Thank you for your teaching. This grace… I will definitely repay you.”

“This is just a small piece of advice from someone who has walked before. No grace or anything. And…”

“And?”

“Thanks to all of you, I can easily find Hwa-ho.”

The direction Layla was moving was not the side with the strongest demonic energy I had sensed earlier.

If I had gone alone, I would have had to catch the monsters one by one, and maybe Hwa-ho would have sensed it and ran away.

A warm society where people help each other. Satisfied.

“I’m looking for Hwa-ho, but why is only oppa benefiting?!”

“hahahaha. Little brother. Wouldn’t it be helpful for you if your older brother became stronger?!”

“I don’t know?! Chunyoung-nim! I feel unfair!”

“Ha ha ha. Then what should I do for Miss Layla?”

“hehehe~. Then, later after work is fine, so could you give me some time?”

Huh? Could this be?!

“You seem to be quite strong, but I’d like to ask you to practice sparring!”

No.

“When the semester starts, I often fight with the Knights Faculty… Strangely, I lose more when I sparr with the Knights Faculty. My brother is easy to catch. So, I’d like to ask for a map match!”

“hahahaha. It’s not difficult at that level. But I’m here to help Cecil with her experiments…”

“Of course, it’s okay when you have free time!”

“Then there’s no reason to refuse. Thank you.”

“hehehe~! Exciting… Ah. There it is.”

Lyla’s expression changed from her delighted smile. She called to us and pointed to one side of her, where a tiger that seemed to be made of fire was eating her deer.

“Cheonyoung. You said you had to catch the hwaho? Can you catch it by yourself?”

“Yes.”

They end up discovering Hwa-ho. It wouldn’t be necessary to fight as much as that, but I was different.

So when I tried to draw the sword, Layla hesitated and then she grabbed me.

“If you don’t mind, can we fight Hwa-ho first? It’s still going to be hard to catch him… But for the experience…”

She looked at me anxiously and cautiously asked.

Um…

Yes. It would be a good experience to fight a strong enemy.

Thanks to these two, I found Hwaho easily, so let’s think that I’m paying for it.

“That’s right. I’ll step in if it’s necessary.”

“Thank you! Alright, let’s get started!”

As she aimed her staff at Hwa-ho, she immediately used magic.

A spear of ice is created in the air and pierced by Hwa-ho. The flames coming out of his body intensified, probably because he was more upset because he was attacked while eating.

“Cheonyeong-nim! Please watch over me!”

How does it feel to be an instructor?

Well, isn’t it wrong that as long as you can catch Hwa-ho, you can perform the instructor’s duties?
