Chapter 15: Dungeon Practice (3)
{Read from Fuleims PoV for better understanding}
In the magic high school, practical training began in earnest.
There are many practical exercises, but, after all, the practical exercises that students look forward to the most were the actual ones.
Among them, the dungeon, in particular, was a place that any explorer dreamt of, where various phenomena occured, monsters infested, treasures and spirits abound.
Fuleim looked around the students of Class A and Class S gathered in Stella Dome.
A total of 141 people
Class A-1 and Class A-2 each had 50 students, and Class S had 41 students.
However, if it were the original version, the total number of students in class S would have been 39. I expected 40 people including myself, but I didnt know one more person would be added here.
Where did Baek Yu come from?
The total number of first-year students was 1,140 in the original version, and it became 1,141 students after adding herself.
In other words, the existence of Baek Yu-seol itself already existed in the original Ropan in this academy
The problem was that I had never even heard of his name.
I have to take it slow. I can figure it out.
Because I was the only person in this world who knew the original version.
I stopped observing the students for a moment and looked around at the surrounding landscape. A truly realistic space.
A grass field blown by the wind. Far in the distance, the meadow was spread wide enough to see the horizon, opening up even my stuffy heart.
However, this space, Stella Dome, was not real.
Stella Dome was a place similar to a subspace installed deep within the Stella Academys grounds, and it was possible to manipulate the space at will to expand it or change its structure.
Therefore, not only various sports and events, but also actual training such as dungeons, gates, and monsters were organised here.
In other words, most of what I saw and felt with my eyes were embodied fakes.
Master Jeremy, have you completed the course registration?
Yes. Of course.
Since you took the Soft Magic Source Exploration course, we also took it.
Really? Lets do our best together.
Fuleim glanced back at the voice coming from the side.
Crown Prince Jeremy. In the original story, he was obsessed with Eisel, but in the end, he was abandoned without being loved.
He is handsome.
He was a handsome man in a very ideal form. I need to test him.He was tall, with a warm personality and a smile that never left his lips.
Competent, kind, innocent, well-mannered, witty, and even his talent was not far behind Mayu-seong, combined with his status as the crown prince of the Skalben Empire.
Those innocent eyes stimulated the protective instincts of many women, and the sloppyness he sometimes showed was one of his charm points.
However, they were all thoroughly calculated actions for ones own image management.
You must not be deceived by this pretense.
Jeremy was such a perfect man that my heart fluttered even though I knew it was a pretense but I had no intention of ever getting close to him because I was Fuleim now who knew his inner self.
As I stared intently at him, Jeremy turned his head to make eye contact with me.
ah.
Jeremy, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, waved his hand toward me with a dazzling flower smile.
Ugh!
He was really damn handsome. I quickly avoided the line of sight, but the afterglow of that brief eye contact did not go away easily.
If I am possessed like this, my life will end as it is. It should never be shaken.
I could understand the feelings of those kids wagging their tails next to Jeremy
Astonishingly, this school also had lines, or factions.
Even if their skill level were similar, the person who would eventually rise to a higher position was already determined. Even though they all seemed to be equal within school, after graduating, the difference in status would become prominent.
Students at prestigious schools have been feeling the fact since their first year, and they were already busy trying to hold the line well.
Among these factions, the most notable was the faction of Prince Jeremy.
Not only were high-ranking young masters gathered there, but so were students who boasted of their abilities that could not be missed wherever they went.
Whether male or female, Jeremys charm and his identity as they rushed to him resembled a fire moth.
Fuleim herself wasnt part of any faction, but she was making as many connections as possible.
Anyway, she was reincarnated in this world with a new life, and she had to prepare for the future because she would live here until she died.
Then, Baek Yu-seol
I glanced over at him. Black hair, black eyes, a warm, pure white complexion, a face that suits the word cute rather than handsome, and a somewhat relaxed smile that didnt suit such a youthful appearance at all.
From a third persons point of view, he was quite likable, and quite a few students seemed to have approached him to create a Baek Yu-seol faction, but I know that he kicked them all out.
Thanks to this, there was no one around him.
It was better to form a team for this dungeon practice for many reasons. It would be a big deal if you go alone and run into students who have teamed up.
So most of the students would team up with nearby students right away.
Fuleim had a bishop position, which was a difficult position to walk alone, but because the magic she possessed was so diverse, this dungeon practise was not a major issue.
* * *
I didnt encounter any monster along the way.
Since the monsters were originally implemented as a phantom magic, their intelligence was far lower than the actual level, so they could only perform certain motions.
Flying monsters could be shot down by blowing them down with spheres of light, and monsters on the ground could be easily defeated by binding them with natural magic.
Because I was good at bondage and destruction, defense and healing, this practice was not too difficult by myself.
Ever since middle school academy, Ive been trained to listen to the actual tour guide.
Whoa, Im so tired.
After about an hour, the score was 18 points thanks to the fact that I had killed quite a few small and medium-sized monsters.
This level of score, however, could be achieved with just one point stick. It was too dangerous to go around looking for a point stick, but if you happen to find one by accident, take it quickly.
Whoa, whoa!
A scream came from afar. It was a common occurrence.
No matter how elite class A was in the school, it was often impossible to respond to unexpected pitfalls because it was the first time in a real battle.
The floor would suddenly go out, wooden whips would come flying in and trying to snatch from you, thunderbolts falling, thorns flying in all directions, etc
It was an outdated and an old-fashioned trap. Just tailored to the freshman level.
Most of the traps were of little use to Fuleim. She had quite a bit of wits on her side, so it was enough for her to spread the veil of light from time to time.
Well?
Something was captured in my sense as I walked slowly. At first, I thought it was a monster, but it turned out to be a human being.
A student can hide his presence so much?
It was quite a strange thing, but I was also hiding a miracle. Thanks to natures beloved trait [Natural One], in these forests, my movement was agile and it was easy to hide my presence.
So, if the opponent was alone, it would be okay to surprise and steal points.
As I slowly approached through the grass, someones silhouette was revealed.
A boy with black hair and black eyes.
Baek Yu-seol? Why is he here?
He put one hand in his robe pocket and tapped on his shoulder with the other. The stick in his hand, on the other hand, was familiar.
Point stick? He already got it?
The 20 number, clearly floating above his head, slightly exceeded Fuleims score, on which she had worked hard for an hour.
He was still walking leisurely, looking for something, as if he had not noticed her.
Its all right. I need to test him.
What the hell is he? What kind of magic does he use? I have to get even a simple clue.
In addition to that, if I could take away the point stick, it would be hitting two birds with one stone.
Glow.
A yellow-colored magic circle glowed at the end of Fuleims staff. It was a radiance type of magic used by the angels of heaven.
She used the magic, humanly and very aggressive.
Light Bullet!
A class 2 light bullet was fired. The distance was approximately 15m. It was a distance where he wouldnt be able to use a defensive technique, meaning he would take a lot of heavy damage and get eliminated.
Meanwhile.
!
Baek Yu-seol abruptly turned his head to meet Fuleims gaze as soon as the magic was cast.
Huh, Huh?
How? Before she could finish her sentence, his figure vanished like a mirage.
The light bullet crashed into a pitiful tree and disappeared, and Fuleim sank to the floor with a ghostly look on her face.
Not even a trace remained of Baek Yu-seols presence.
