Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

58 – Trap

Geo Strandal is an academy student. She is a student of ‘First’, the spearmanship department, and she is a student with solid basic skills enough to be selected as one of the top three in the department.

If you look at the entire history of the academy, there are only a few students who come from a commoner background and achieve this level of achievement. However, interest in him was not very high. It was thanks to Johann Baker, a commoner who rose to the absurd position of head of the academy.

Gio Strandal was deeply grateful to John. It was because of another job he had.

Some say it is a cult that is crazy about killing, while others say it is a gathering of lambs thirsty for the truth.

Gio Strandal was an executive at Angra Mainyu. His purpose is to infiltrate the academy, cut off any buds that may hinder the school’s future, and acquire seedlings that can be put to good use in the school.

In order to fulfill this role, it is good to receive as little attention as possible. That’s why Ji-oh had no choice but to be kind to John, who took all the aggro of students and professors.

Also, from Geo’s point of view, Yohan was a must-have in Angra Mainyu. Not to mention his outstanding skills, he comes from a Korean-American commoner family.

There is a very slim chance that a son from a noble family with high bones will join Angra Mainyu. Because they already have nothing to regret.

Of course, occasionally lambs thirsting for the truth joined the church, but it was very few. Looking at the data accumulated by Angra Mainyu itself, the success rate of evangelism was much higher when targeting insignificant commoners than nobles with high status.

In other words, to Geo Strandal, Johann Baker was an important target to evangelize while knowingly or unknowingly helping him with his work. You can even call it a VVIP.

That’s why Geo, who happened to spot Yohan walking into the garden forest, followed him.

The opponent Yohan met in the Garden Forest was a commoner named Lire. He is a commoner who did not pay much attention. Until today.

‘Lire Berger. He defeated Drake Delas, the Circle Master of the Red Lake, in a duel.’

Drake Dellas is not at full power in Red Lake. He became the Circle Master of the Red Lake in recognition of his descent from the Dellas family, famous for his reputation and learning, and his outstanding administrative skills. There are three students in the Red Lake that belong to the Ten Commandments, but Drake Dellas was not among the Ten Commandments.

However, Dellas is by no means weak. He is one of the top students in his 3rd year. Without even such a basic, he would not have become the Circle Master of the Red Lake, no matter how good his administrative skills were.

‘That guy is also someone to watch out for. If possible, embrace them.’

According to Geo Strandal’s investigation, Lire Berger was a commoner. Like John, he is a relatively easy target to embrace.

A total of five people were currently checked in Geo Strandal’s head as a person of interest. In order of importance, Johann Baker, Sarah Leoris, Arsha Sodhorn, Born Zaborg, and Lire Bergeda who showed their skills this time.

Yohan opened a non-sword with Lire. Like a bowstring stretched to its limit, the tense fight rapidly leaned toward a turning point with John’s words. Towards John.

-Turn the dagger’s trajectory by 5mm to attack Miss Lire’s left metacarpal bone.

-How the hell… ?

The winner of the argument was John. Unbelievable of his own defeat, Lire turned and fled in his astonishment. Then he turned again, approached John, and handed him a letter from his pocket. And he disappears again. It was a complex and subtle reaction that caught her in her tracks like a virgin in her prime.

Anyway, Yohan, who won the non-sword, stood there and opened his mouth.

“There, don’t hide and come out. I know.”

Oops, did you get caught?

As I was concentrating on the two people’s image confrontation, my mind was distracted. However, Geo Strandal was good at hiding his presence or erasing his presence, befitting an Angra Mainyu executive. He was confident that he could hide even from an academy professor if he wanted to. Even now, when the power is sealed.

No matter how out-of-standard it was, it was difficult to explain logically that a student could see through his stealth. However, there is only one answer that can explain this.

‘Is it a 「Characteristic」?’

The mystery of [Characteristics] Always far surpasses human imagination. If John had a “Characteristic” Related to the search, it wouldn’t be too strange if he sensed his existence. Geo organized the newly acquired information in his head and appeared in front of the bush.

Crush!

“Oh no, I didn’t mean to peep. I happened to take a walk and found something interesting…. It was like an unintentional peek. Sorry.”

I was caught by John, but he wasn’t too embarrassed. Anyway, I haven’t done anything fancy yet. He had nothing to worry about except for stepping on his back.

“It’s an image battle. It was a spectacle not often seen. Indeed, John. It was great workmanship befitting the head of the academy. If you don’t mind, could you compete with me? I am dreaming of revenge for being defeated by Yohan the other day.”

Gio asked Yohan for a review. The reason was simple. I want to see his skills.

The other day, these two actually bumped into each other in an exchange match. However, the duel ended in an instant due to his own carelessness, so he could not find out the true skill of Yohan. However, it was clear that he had an unknown power that transcended students.

If possible, I would like to compete with a real sword rather than a non-sword, but in that case, there was a high possibility of refusal. Earlier, I also rejected Lire’s offer.

“Good.”

John replied coolly. Ji-oh, who wondered what to do if he refused, opened his mouth with a small smile, saying that things were much easier.

“Thank you for accepting my insistence. Then, as a thank you, I will concede the first attack. Ah, were you too arrogant towards Yohan?”

It was Ji-oh’s speech skills that always kept him polite. In order to work as an informant, this kind of speaking skill is essential.

“Good. Then, I will take the lead.”

Yohan smiled brightly at G.O.

“I will use the shadow chain, split the chain into 3 on the left and 2 on the right to fire.”

John’s play was unconventional from the start. In the discussion with Lire a little while ago, Yohan conducted a search battle with a calm initial offensive. It’s not just a non-sword, it’s a very standard playing in a real duel.

‘Did your recent win boost your confidence? As expected, this kind of person is an immature youngster.’

Your bar skills are outstanding, but you lack the experience to fully support them. It was the conclusion Geo made about Yohan’s first move.

“No matter how hard it is to win first, it was a fierce onslaught from the beginning. I’ll avoid it by taking three side steps to the left.”

“Good. Then, Geo-kun’s mother, who was cheering for Geo-kun later, was attacked and died.”

“Yes!? I beg your pardon… !?”

Gio, who chewed on John’s words thrown so naturally, looked at him with a puzzled expression. Could his own ears be wrong?

“John. Sorry. I think I heard it wrong. What did you say?”

“Oh, sorry. I’ll correct it. Gio-kun’s old mother was already sleeping on the grass. Geo-kun’s stepmother, who was watching the duel, was misled and died.”

“… Yohan-kun. Are you serious?”

“It is Geo-kun’s turn.”

What the hell is this all about?

Perhaps this is a shallow trick to get on your nerves?

Jio was taken aback by Yohan’s pad-lip so naturally, and at the same time was unable to speak.

“Timeout. I continue the attack. Geo-kun’s father kneels in front of me and begs me. I want you to look at your ugly son just once.”

“What is that… ! I have no father!”

“I know that Geo-kun’s real father died a violent death. Because there is no one else who can show his lack of a father like Ji-oh. It was my stepfather who told me. By the way, this is my 32nd stepfather.”

Yohan clapped his hands at G.O, who was looking at him with a stupid expression, and continued.

“Geo-kun’s mother has a heart as wide as the sea! It seems that it is not only the heart that is silky wide. It looks like Geo-kun’s mother’s place will allow her twins to come out hand in hand. You will be very happy.”

“Yo, John! Are you kidding me right now!?”

“Again, timeout. Throw a knife shot at Geo-kun. Geo-kun uses his father as a friend shield to defend. Indeed, like a Horo of the century..”

“John Baker! You crazy bastard! Are you kidding me!?”

Gio, whose anger rose to the top of his head at Yohan’s continuous pad-lips, screamed with a voice like an active volcano. It was the first time in my life that I had received continuous pad-lips unilaterally like this.

“Where does this bastard without a mother and father speak mean things! You b*tch!”

“I install a padrip automatic intercept system. All Geo-kun’s padlips will disappear. And Geo-kun is the one who doesn’t have a mother and father. My parents are alive and well.”

“That expensive pad-lip automatic interception system… It’s not, Crazy bastard! Isn’t this a pure psycho bastard!?”

Gio Strandal’s voice resounded through the garden grove. Then, the students who enjoyed the tryst in the forest appeared one by one.

“What? What a thunderclap….”

“That’s true, moaning is like a general. What are you advertising that it is good for gold?”

“Doesn’t that sound like a response? Look over there Two boys.”

“Huh? There is finally an LGBT boom in the academy… ?”

“Who are John Baker and the other?”

“Isn’t that the guy from the spearmanship department? Geo Strandal.”

Looking at the students flocking around him, Yohan grinned and opened his mouth.

“Geo-kun. Too much You’re a kid without a baby. Even though I’m not a noble, aren’t I saying too harshly? Even though he’s a commoner like Geo-kun.”

“What, what… ?”

At Yohan’s words, the students around him start to murmur.

“What? Are you having a fight? I don’t think it’s a duel.”

“I heard that guy named Ji-oh screaming earlier. He said he had a padlip on Yohan.”

“What kind of grudge do you have? . Could it be that you are jealous?”

“Awesome. I don’t even think I’ll be jealous when I see that face. It’s f*cking ugly.”

Gio’s face turned white like a sheet of paper. Only then did he realize the trap John had dug.

‘This bastard, is he trying to isolate me from the academy?’

A very simple but effective method. Even if it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. It’s a trap that costs very little.

‘What the hell is that guy?’

Yohan smiled the same way he always did towards G.O, who was sweating like that.

“Geo-kun. Geo-kun seems to be very excited today, so I’m going to go back now. I hope to see you next time in a calmer way.”

With that word, Yohan turned his back and went back to the dormitory. He had already lit the fuse, so there was no point in watching the bomb go off. Since it is a rumor with eyewitnesses, it is impossible to change public opinion no matter how hard Geo tries.

Geo Strandal.

He was a promising student in the academy’s spearmanship department, but he quickly became a nerd who threw padlips at Yohan.
