I Became an Academy Regular

◈ Tower – 49th floor (1)

It is normal to start attacking the tower from the first floor.

Therefore, it was necessary to manage the influence and favorability in the tower step by step so that the game could proceed smoothly when reaching the upper floors. However, as long as there are shortcuts up to the 44th floor, there is no need to waste time unnecessarily.

The coalition decided to move independently to the 48th floor before the front line. The reason is simple. This is because, if a large number of people move at once, aggro may cause variables.

Above all, being able to easily enter up to the 44th floor with a short cut was quite uncomfortable for the temple. Although it is to bring in allies and other armed forces inside.

Although they act together to achieve the goal, the heads of each faction decided to lead by themselves rather than elect a representative of the coalition. The imperial family is Yuria, and the temple is Astiel and Arthur Gran. And the academy will move among the applicants, led by the instructor.

Beatrice decided to move to the Academy instead of the Imperial Family. He acts with the special class as an instructor, and I am not a hero with a holy sword, but an aspiring hero.

As it was formed in a hurry, there were some elements of anxiety.

While forming the union for several months, it took time to get to know each other, but that’s all. There has never been more cooperation than that.

The only operation they did together was magic hunting, so this type of large-scale attack had no choice but to be the first. It took that point, but since most of the members of the faction are skilled, those worries can be alleviated.

A few days after Black Hawk’s factory was restarted, Ryu Seo-yeon finished mass production of weapons and armor as he swore. Not long after, the clothes of the Imperial Knights were changed to a unified look with Black Hawk’s equipment.

Equipment such as modern tech wear with less fantasy elements than what he has worn before. Personally, I think the sense of intimidation is more overflowing here. Since the equipment is made of special materials rather than metal, noise is also reduced when moving.

The Knights were also awkward at first, but now they prefer the lighter Black Hawk’s. The temple even gave him a blessing, so it was safe to say that he was the highest level armed force that could appear today.

“Did the squad start tomorrow?”

When I came to collect the things I had stored in the student council room, the princess Yuria Casel, who was resting alone, spoke to me. It looks more flawless than before. Originally, she had to be busy right now, but this place was always relaxed as she handed over her work to her younger brother, Castell.

It had been a long time since Yuria had already taken her seat in the student council room. She is so built-in that even the student president is reluctant to enter the student council room.

“Did Castel decide to move with the imperial family?”

“right. It’s hard for me to take on by myself. And in the academy or in the temple, it would be easier to talk with Rhine, who is an aspiring hero.”

···Excuse me. In fact, it seems like it’s because he’s annoyed, but the reason for spitting it out is plausible. Yuri An looked at my complexion and said.

“You don’t look like you’re particularly nervous, do you?”

“Again. I also caught Desaruk, huh?”

“Hmm. For better or for worse, there will be a decision now. What are you going to do when you’re done?”

It doesn’t really feel like it, but the ending will appear as long as you climb up to the top to subdue Topju. I must somehow achieve the goal of remaining here.

“The only thing that comes to mind right now is…”

I think it’s probably fixed.

“I want to play games to my heart’s content.”

The future of reality that I saw when I first got the foresight dream.

It reminded me of how I returned to active duty after retirement. I don’t know how that’s possible, I just hope it’s not a delusion.

“What, did you play games?”

Yuria’s eyes widened as if my answer was surprising.

“It’s not like that, but the future. Are you sure you don’t want to enter the temple?”

“A temple?”

“uh. As long as you don’t act like a hero, you can come to the imperial palace. Because I can reserve a seat for you. Are you close with Mika Beatrice too?”

“Five. Not bad.”

I couldn’t say that it was good to lay a tumbleweed. Whether things go well or not, I was thinking of going back.

‘I mean, I can’t afford to be behind.’

If the erosion coming down to the ground was solved, only the biggest problem was solved, and after that, the remaining tower powers and other problems remained. Of course, I had to be at the center of it. Maybe there was a needless check came in because I had a lot of power.

It’s funny to say, but it’s power.

There was no way that a retired pro gamer could properly cope with such a thing. More than anything else, I could break up with the people I have a good relationship with now.

‘That means I don’t like it.’

It is my wish to end the relationship while maintaining a good relationship.

The academy, including the special class that was selected as the advance squad, moved to the 44th floor along with the shrine. And immediately started going upstairs.

I was worried about the battle that would happen while climbing to the 48th floor, but as time went on, the situation in the tower changed quite a bit. It was conspicuous that the villages were prosperous even beyond the 45th floor by expanding the residence of civilians.

In the process, there were only small battles, probably because they dealt with the monsters on the field, and they didn’t meet the enemy enough to cause damage. Considering aggro, the personnel were dispersed and moved, but the meaning seemed to have faded.

A few days later, when we entered the 48th floor, the headmaster and wizards were waiting for us. It seems to have been prepared knowing that we were coming with Beta’s foreknowledge.

Of course, there was a strange battle of nerves. The guys in the special class also had a reluctant expression because they didn’t have good feelings for the magicians of the top powers. Park Noah turned her gaze and looked towards Gaju. At that blatant gaze, the wizards also stared at Noah Park carefully.

It was the Gaju side that broke that tension. Carol looked at us and put her name in her mouth.

At that call, Ellen, who was hiding behind her, flinched. Slowly stepping forward, looking at her, Carol looked at her daughter with a grin.

“Can we talk for a second?”

“…Ugh.”

Carol dragged Ellen away and disappeared somewhere.

Well, it’s worth it. The fact that Ellen came this far means that she has handed over her position as the manager on the 25th floor. Unqualified Olivia has been managing the 25th floor longer than Ellen.

The current T.O.P’s situation is that he can’t restrain himself even though he’s been escaping without permission for a long time.

‘Considering that, Olivia seems to be doing pretty well.’

Ellen also came up with Olivia to see Olivia working properly as a manager.

“You seem to be coming separately from the other unions.”

Ivan glanced at Carol and Ellen’s backs, then smiled and took a step closer. He spoke to me, who had just turned his face.

“Yes. You can’t bring in monsters and cause damage to the village.”

“okay. Oh, and that one…”

Ivan’s gaze turned to Noah Park and Drakhan. Since Drakhan does not wear a mask, his personality is currently active. Wizards nearby will know that their mana does not move due to their personality.

If Drakhan wanted to, he could slaughter all the wizards in this place.

Drakhan would want to do the same, but he knows that swinging his sword at them now will only anger him. So she opened her mouth in a harsh voice.

“I have nothing to say, where is the manager on the 50th floor?”

It was easy to talk about Aiden, the manager on the 50th floor, since Ellen and Carol were not present. Perhaps Carol knew this, too, and dragged Ellen away from her seat.

Ivan pointed to the stairs leading up to the 49th floor from the back.

“I know you are still on the 49th floor. I also told the hero, but after that, there was no interaction with us.”

“You mean you never went upstairs? That is unbelievable.”

“no. In other words, I couldn’t get in. The energy of erosion is so strong that it is impossible to enter without divine power.”

Ivan looked at some of the temple forces mixed in the advance squad. The rest of the people are slowly ascending at intervals. The attack started if they arrived at the Imperial Knights from the bottom floor.

Ivan said looking back at the advance squad.

“It may not be possible for all the members of the association to stay, but with this number of people at present, we can provide enough accommodation.”

“…the kindness is appreciated, but that’s okay.”

Beatrice declined. If you stay in the village, you will not be able to rest properly mentally, even if you are comfortable physically. Our base will be located right next to the stairs. From that front, we will investigate the 49th floor and wait until another coalition force arrives.

“Then let us go.”

“I wish you good luck.”

After an uncomfortable encounter with the housekeeper and the wizards, he set off past them. When they arrived near the stairs a few hours later, the advance team unpacked the supplies they had prepared and set up a base. Before long, Drakhan came to me.

“Jihan. Will it go up as planned?”

“yes. We should take a look at it.”

I tapped the holy sword on my waist. This is the holy sword I brought with me for that purpose.

[-If the erosion is so thick that you can’t climb it, it must be very polluted.]

The Holy Sword repeated what Ivan said as if it was offensive to him. Right now, there was no need to bring a priest with him because he was only going to go with Drakhan, who could block magic.

Even if you get injured, I can heal you, so just the holy sword was enough.

Since the 49th floor is the entrance to the 50th floor, the middle point of the tower, strong demons are guarding the stairs. There was no mention, and the heads of state came down, so the boss must have been dealt with in the process.

‘…the necromancer is the problem.’

Unlike other monsters, field bosses do not respawn once they are dealt with. However, if it was a Necromancer, there was a chance that the corpse could be awakened again.

The manager on the 50th floor may have brought a necromancer into his power for that purpose.

“Layer. Then we go.”

“All right. Please go carefully. senior.”

After getting ready, Drakhan and I said that we would go to Layette and went up the stairs to the 49th floor. In case of unexpected magic, Drakhan took the lead and entered the 50th floor.

Whoa! As I reached the end of the stairs, my view changed in an instant. It was the sense of smell that first reacted to the abnormality.

a stinging smell. Even though I covered my nose and opened my eyes, I couldn’t see anything.

“her. This···.”

I could feel the movement of pulling out the black spear, making an absurd sound in front of my nose. It wasn’t a lie that Ivan couldn’t make it to the 49th floor.

The 49th floor was already full of erosion enough to fill the entire area. I began to feel the suffocation of the erosion slowly tightening my whole body.
