I Became a Time-Stopper at the Academy

16 – First Quest (2)

A yellow butterfly flew among the flowers.

The girl, still sparsely toothed, stretched out her arms in front of her.

But she couldn’t reach the butterfly.

The woman behind the girl placed the yellow butterfly on her index finger instead.

Then she bent over her waist and showed it to her sister.

The girl smiled broadly.

“Because you are pretty, the butterfly seems to like you too! I don’t like it because I’m not pretty….”

The woman caressed her sister’s pouty face.

“When Delia grows up to be pretty, the butterfly will come on its own.”

“Can I be pretty like you too?”

“So, everyone says you and me are just like me.”

The girl looked at the yellow butterfly on her woman’s hand with her curious eyes.

Once again the girl held out her hand.

Her desire to put her yellow butterfly on her finger.

With a rustle, the butterfly fluttered away from her sister.

The woman smiled and took her sister’s hand.

“If you try to catch it too openly, it will notice and run away. Next time, let’s just put our hands aside and wait, shall we?”

“Yes….”

Her woman walked out, matching her sister’s stride.

Soon after, she saw a middle-aged man and woman sitting on her mat.

Her younger sister smiled brightly and she suddenly ran away.

Her woman also followed her by giving her strength to her legs.

Her mother said to her late daughter with a small smile.

“Girls shouldn’t jump like that.”

“Why?”

A woman satisfies her sister’s curiosity instead of her mother’s.

“Weren’t you surprised that the butterfly suddenly approached you earlier? The same goes for people.”

“Okay!”

The head maid took her bread out of her basket and passed each one of her to her sisters.

Her father apologized to the maid, saying, “Today is our day off, so sorry for us.”

To which the head maid replied, “No, I’m happy too.”

The girl opened her mouth wide and took a bite of her bread.

“Delicious!”

Said the woman to her sister, who had her crumbs all over her mouth.

“Eat slowly and little by little. Covering her mouth with her hand. That’s how people say they’re pretty?”

“Yes!”

The girl who took days like this for granted—Delia.

I woke up in bed.

Tears flowed down the pillow.

She stood up and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

A long-forgotten family appears in a dream.

‘Father, mother, older sister… ….’

Every routine was broken 10 years ago.

She was accused of trying to overthrow the country through her sister, who was the kingdom’s diplomat, and mine.

She was tried by the royal court, and her older sister soon disappeared into the dew of her executioner.

Upon hearing the news, her mother lay down in shock, and her mother, who had been ill from the beginning, passed away soon after.

The father, who had been forfeited from the title of count by association with the kingdom, left the house to prove her sister’s innocence.

Putting her late daughter, who was only 9 years old, into a monastery.

‘Father, I hope you are well….’

I also resented my father who disappeared leaving behind me as a child.

But now he just prayed that his only relative was alive.

The pretty yellow butterfly that appeared in my dreams.

Delia took out her pearl earrings from her drawer.

Perhaps the yellow butterfly that her older sister said, that will come someday if she waits, is now by her side.

With the name Joel.

‘Let’s go get the magic potion.’

I carefully put the two magic potions I made last night in my bag and went to Joel’s room.

Stunned by Louisa’s attire, she quickly left his room.

I wonder if such erotic clothes are a preference, revealing the female color more than I thought.

Moreover, a new gold ring on the ring finger of Louisa’s right hand.

The ring on the ring finger of her right hand was clearly a sign that she had a nobleman as her lover.

In other words, Joel made Luisa his concubine.

‘I’m a little envious….’

Immediately, Delia shook her head quickly.

She’s a healer, but once a nun.

What kind of crazy imagination did you have?

It must be because of the dream I had today.

She went outside the academy.

She then took a walk on Lauris Street.

To soothe the restless mind.

‘Should I go to my mother’s grave with my sister during summer vacation? .’

Healer apprentices are also shorter than cadets, but vacations are given during vacations.

Because the reason she died was the reason, she was buried in a place known only to her father and Delia.

In her sister’s case, after her kingdom executed her, she burned her corpse in her own fire, leaving only her belongings.

Tung.

I bumped into a man’s shoulder.

She didn’t hit her hard, but she was distracted. “I’m sorry,” She apologized.

“It’s okay.”

The man walked past Delia with her head down.

But that voice passed her ears.

She hastily turned behind her.

She then ran to the man.

“Oh, Father!!”

No doubt.

Slightly husky and cavernous voice.

Large and bear-like.

It’s my father… !

Delia grabbed the man’s arm.

The man stopped walking.

She stood in front of him and looked up at his face.

“Father, father, right? I’m Delia. Father’s late daughter Delia!”

“…… Long time no see, Delia.”

Water dripped from Delia’s eyes.

She wondered if she came to see herself at the academy.

It’s a bit late, but I think we can live together from now on.

But my father’s condition was strange.

I reunited with my daughter whom I had separated from when I was young, but there was no happy expression anywhere.

Above all, the bleak sensation felt in his body.

It was the feeling of encountering demons from textbooks.

***

“Haap—!”

Lando struck down his two-handed sword.

A monster that looks like a primate, but has green skin, a piggy face, and ugly protruding fangs—an orc has been decapitated.

The purpose of today’s dungeon expedition is to gain experience.

Not only me, but also Lando, who is indispensable in the story of , Needs to raise his skill level.

So I deliberately brought him along.

“There’s one more to the right! Mr. Landau, keep your head down!”

“Yes!”

A purple lump of lightning—[Lightning Ball] Was thrown by Elianne into the staff.

The orc to our right was electrocuted and his body trembled.

The stench of ripe orc flesh spread through the cave.

Ellie Anne said nervously as she turned her head towards me.

“I came because Joel asked me to go, so why are you staying still?”

… No, he’s saying something to me because he’s in the middle.

I didn’t bother shooting at the trash mobs because I had to conserve my mana.

There are no infinite magic potions.

Her Luisa answered her instead of me.

“If you are having a hard time, I will do it for you.”

“… That’s Okay.”

Ellie Anne turned her head away with a swish of her.

It’s as if she doesn’t want to see Luisa’s face.

Does the help of the maid mean that she doesn’t want to receive it?

She pretends not to be like that on the outside, but in reality Elian is the one who is very attached to her position as the third daughter of the duchy.

Mostly, Lando and Elianne walked all the way through the single-track cave, killing trash mobs.

Luisa held up a torch to light the dark cave.

Grrr…….

The orc’s deep, low voice echoed.

Rando pointed the tip of the [Pure Blood Dwarf’s last sword] Forward.

Then I took one step at a time so that my footsteps wouldn’t make a sound.

Boom!

From 11 o’clock there was a sound cutting through the air.

Lando hurriedly turned his sword.

Kang—!

The ax collided with Lando’s sword.

Until now it was a naked orc without a weapon, but from now on it is an orc with a weapon.

Difficulty started to rise.

“Kuh… !”

As if Lando was being pushed back by his strength, he was pushed back little by little.

This power even though physical defense increases by 36% due to the effect of the sword.

I couldn’t use magic, but my entire body was like an orc with a mass of muscles.

Goed over to Luisa and whispered.

“Give the torch to someone else and attack.”

“Okay.”

Eliane’s exclusive maid held up a torch.

Soon after, Luisa grabbed her spear with both hands and spread her legs wide.

Her magical power seeped into the spear from her body.

Bung—.

A spear that cuts through the wind.

Holding an ax in his right hand, he aimed at the side under the armpit of the orc who was confronting Lando.

Tak.

The orc grabbed Luisa’s spear with her left hand.

Even though red blood flowed from her hand, she held on tightly and did not let go.

“Ugh!”

An orc who read Luisa’s attack.

This dungeon was a place I visited a lot when I was low level in the game.

But it seemed to be smarter than I remembered.

A coincidence?

Or something has changed in this dungeon….

“Landau, Luisa, hold on!”

“”Yes!””

Anyway, the situation where the two of them stopped the use of the orc’s arms.

He grabbed his horse gun and aimed his gun at the orc’s head.

“Eliane, cast magic attack power enhancement magic on me.”

“I can kill myself now.”

“If you don’t listen to me, get out.”

“… ….”

This is not training.

In a dungeon where life is at risk.

It is the heroine of the main character, and it is useless if she dies.

Eliane turned her staff towards me.

Soon, her support magic entered my body.

[Magic attack power: 38 (+10)]

Enhancement magic is basically measured in percentage.

The magic gun fires magic directly, so you have to increase your magic attack power to increase the power per shot.

However, since the magic attack power was weak in the first place, it did not become dramatically stronger even when receiving support magic.

‘Still, I can kill that orc with this much.’

Bang—!

When I pulled the trigger, a magic bullet was fired from the muzzle.

Hearing the gunshot, the orc hurriedly raised his hand.

However, Orc’s hands were already tied by Lando and Louisa.

I hit it straight.

“Kaaak!”

Bang—! Bang-!

An orc in pain.

I put two more feet into it.

The orc’s head, which hit all three shots, disappeared as if there was no such thing in the first place.

Only the traces of blood splashed onto the cave floor.

[You have killed the monster.]

I took out the magic potion from my pocket and poured it into his mouth.

A taste like syrup cold medicine spread on the tongue.

He lowered his gun and turned his head towards Ellie Anne.

“Thank you for your support.”

“… No.”

After checking Luisa and Lando for any injuries, we set off again.

An orc with a sword and an orc with a mace attacked in turn.

As before, the two tied the hands of the orc, and I, who received Elianne’s support magic, finished it off with a horse gun.

As we proceeded without much trouble, a huge wooden door appeared in front of us.

The door was three times taller than me.

“This is the door to the boss room….”

Lando gulped and said to himself.

Then he looked at me, Luisa, and Elianne in order.

I nodded and he put his hand on the wooden door.

Kiik—.

The heavy wooden door opened slowly.

We moved through the open gap.

Kleur… ….

The dungeon boss appeared in front of you.

It was bigger than any orc I’ve ever met.

‘What is it? Strange?’

The dungeon boss here is a C-class monster [Great Orc]

It is characterized by having no weapons, instead of having a larger body.

But the orc in front of us is holding a weapon in both his hands.

A shield large enough to cover one’s entire body.

“…… It is a variant.”

As I spoke quietly, Luisa and Elianne’s eyes widened.

In dungeons, mutant monsters appear with extremely low probability.

And we won with that low probability.

Boom!

The wooden door to the boss room closed quickly.

We can’t run away from here for 10 minutes from now.
