52 – Magic Stone Golem – 1
“As I said in the last lecture, I have prepared a special opponent today. “Isn’t it ti to get tired of sparring and theory lectures?”
Soone cheered and applauded vigorously at Jake’s voice, and then shouted with laughter, asking what the professor’s position would be like if they liked him that much.
Everyone was looking around with faces full of anticipation. I was the only one who missed the last practice sparring lecture because I had rested for the past week, so I was just sitting there wondering sothing.
“Do you know what you are doing today? “Aria asked to surprise her with her, so I didn’t tell her for now.”
Brünnhild quietly whispered.
Luckily, every ti I saw Brünnhild, the mory of the dream I had yesterday ca to mind, and that didn’t happen. If that were the case, I would have had a hard ti adapting and getting used to it like I did in the past, but it was a good thing.
“I didn’t hear. “What is it that makes everyone react like that?”
“I know when I see it, when I see it. “No matter how much it is you this ti, I’m sure you’ll be very surprised, right?”
Brünnhild smiled, perhaps because I didn’t usually show my emotions out loud. I’m not doing this on purpose either. Because I’ve been through such a difficult situation, I just don’t feel inspired by most things.
“Where…” … Hmm. It was like this. Good! Magic stone golem! Start working!”
As Jake shouted loudly, the magic stone golems in the space beyond the door began to slowly walk out to the training ground. I guess that’s why they even rented the Colosseum today.
The appearance was quite intimidating. Its entire body was smooth as if it were carved from white marble, and its eyes glowed green. He seed to be about 3 ters tall.
Students who saw that majestic appearance repeatedly burst out in exclamation.
‘…… ‘Why is that already out?’
“How about it, isn’t it great? “Even if you wipe out the entire empire, it would be difficult to find a combat magic stone golem with that level of performance.”
When Brunhild saw surprised, he beca elated as if the magic stone golem belonged to him, but the reason I was surprised wasn’t because of the golem’s appearance.
This was because we later learned that their cores had been contaminated by the Devil’s army’s tactics and were being used to hunt humans. If it goes according to the flow of the original work, it should appear next year.
In fact, there is no other action more aningless than judging the original work.
“It is a magic stone golem made for sparring with the Royal Guard! The Sword Saint gave us permission to rent it specifically for the students of Belium Academy!”
Jake shouted loudly. I could feel the favorability towards the Sword Saint rapidly soaring around . He seed to have completely forgotten that he beat up students who asked to be his students on the first day.
‘The Sword Master allowed the rental…’ … Is it because of ?’
It seed highly likely that that was the case. Just yesterday, when they heard that I was sick, they sent an elixir diluted 1/10.
“I have a lot of money. “The efficiency of those things is really not that great.”
“…… Mira, why does it sound a little strange when you say that?”
“No, I don’t an that. Do you see a pile of top-quality magic stones behind there? “Maybe there won’t be anything left after today’s sparring?”
“…… Oh, no way. Just doing that alone would be enough to connect and spin dozens of magic tools.”
“Check later. “I’m sure we’ll catch a lot of people.”
Even if you use the highest quality magic stone, the magic stone golem cannot withstand much of its consumption. Especially if it has outstanding performance enough to be used for sparring with the Royal Guard.
There is a reason why that amazing thing is not used properly in battle. With just one magic stone that can be used for dozens of minutes, you can use dozens of magic tools on the battlefield for dozens of minutes, so why would you use them for combat?
The production cost is so expensive that if you can’t kill a few people and it gets destroyed, it’s obvious that you’ll shed tears of blood. Therefore, it is much cheaper to create a golem with magic and use it.
Of course, there were not only drawbacks. If it had been a complex with only shortcomings in the first place, it would not have been built.
They are so fast and can produce explosive power that they cannot even be compared to golems made with magic. It’s not for nothing that the horse-shaped magic stone golem was used instead of a horse in the carriage sent for at the entrance ceremony.
Whether I should say it’s amazing or not that they made 7 of those and only use them for sparring.
“For today, there is no need to fight while avoiding critical points or engage in non-lethal sparring. “It will be impossible to break this at your level, so beat on it with all your might.”
A student asked a question as if her pride was slightly hurt upon hearing that.
“What are you going to do if we succeed in destroying it?”
“hahahaha! You are destroying that magic stone golem? If such a person cos out, I will take him to a house I know well in the evening and feed him until his stomach explodes! “You can bring friends or anything!”
“…… “Isn’t that a punishnt?”
“Such timid things. Good night! “If such a person shows up, I will take him to a house I know well in the evening, feed him until his stomach explodes, and give him a perfect score on the midterm exam at my discretion!”
This ti the reaction was quite violent. It seed like he was quite confident as a professor, seeing as he even said sothing like that.
“Instead, there should be penalties for failure. What should the penalty be…… Hmm. Okay. “Would you like to work out all day in the weight room with ?”
The intense reaction disappeared completely. Perhaps imitating Jake, the guy with all the muscles on his body said, ‘Ah, this is a bit…’ ….’ He was avoiding eye contact. Jake looked away with a shy expression.
“True. I almost forgot to say this. “You are the exception, Mira Krait.”
“…… “You an ?”
“Okay. The Sword Saint said so. You will be powerful enough to destroy the magic stone golem. You can spar as much as you want, but never give it your all. “Brünnhild, the sa goes for you.”
Brünnhild looked puzzled, as if he didn’t know that he would be included in the list.
I had complicated thoughts as I was. I’m sure he controlled his strength thoroughly, but I wondered what he was looking at when he said sothing like that. Perhaps, as much as I can see the karma accumulated in my soul, I may also be able to see my true strength.
“It is up to you whether to listen to or not, but I recomnd that you listen. If it breaks, it will be very difficult. “The compensation won’t end up being just a few gold coins.”
“…… “How much is it?”
Brünnhild, who had shrunk drastically, asked timidly whether money was an important matter. Jake grinned.
“Even if you save up the support you receive every month for three years without spending any, you would need more than ten tis that much. Think about it. It is a magic stone golem used by the royal guard of the imperial palace for sparring. “How expensive is your body?”
At those words, not only Brunhild but also the other students were shocked. I was the only one who wasn’t surprised to hear that.
‘I could buy one with my pocket money.’
Jake then tried to convince himself that it was okay because those two were special and that it didn’t matter if other people did their best, but it was already spilled water.
The rapidly souring atmosphere was only able to be relieved after Jake revealed the truth that he was just saying he had to pay compensation.
Well, if you use it for sparring and destroy it, you have to pay compensation. No matter how expensive the magic stone golem is, is that possible? It’s not like making fun of people.
“Okay, now we’re going to start in earnest, so feel free to stand in front of the golem you want to deal with first!”
There were a total of 7 magic stone golems, each holding different weapons. Swords, spears, axes, maces and shields, etc. It seed like it was made with the assumption of a battle with demons rather than monsters.
After leaving a brief greeting saying, “I’ll be back, Aria,” She lined up in front of the golem holding the mace and shield. Brunhild and I decided to sit back and see how well it perford.
“…… I think it’s really strong. “Do you really think I can destroy sothing like that?”
Brünnhild seed to be holding up pretty well, but as he looked at the student who was unexpectedly hit by a mace and flew awkwardly for a long ti, rolling around on the floor, he muttered with a srized expression.
As they said, even though they were students at Belium Academy, which only admitted talented people from all over the empire, they were clearly outclassed by the magic stone golem.
Except for a few truly special exceptions, there was no way that academy students would be stronger than the Royal Guard, so it was natural.
‘I’m sure that’s enough… ….’
My impressions were exactly the opposite of Brunhild’s.
Whether it was sothing that the Sword Saint saw once, or he said it because he knew the truth, if the golem’s strength was at that level, it was definitely enough to point out and tell not to give it my all.
Even Brunhild can break that timid state just by speaking.
“Wow, but Mira, it’s just as you said. I’ve already written more than twenty. “I guess that’s why they don’t want to let you out under any circumstances.”
At the sa ti, the problem of the extrely inefficient power source of the magic stone golem was clearly revealed. Even though only about 30 minutes had passed since the sparring began, more than twenty top-quality magic stones had disappeared.
Approximately one top-quality magic stone is exchanged for every five students, so about one gold coin evaporates into thin air at a ti. Perhaps that was why everyone was fighting with all their might.
“You won’t fight, will you, Brunhild?”
“Uh, should I say I’m a little hesitant…… He seems weaker than the corps commander I fought in the last dungeon, and I feel like it might be a bit much if I blow him up because I can’t control my strength…… Anyway, a little bit like that.”
“My eyes got so high after fighting with the corps commander once. Is it because you are a warrior after all?”
“Hey…… !”
Brünnhild gave a hard slap as if to tell to shut up. There wasn’t any particular force involved.
Still, the raised eyes were a good sign. This ans that there is still plenty of room to beco stronger and that we have not broken down.
“Whoa…” … “I’m exhausted.”
Brünnhild, who had been arguing for a while, panted and leaned on his shoulder. There’s no way he’d be tired after just hitting his arm a few tis, so it’s absolutely brutal.
This is sothing I’ve felt for a long ti, but I felt like I couldn’t gauge the distance well, perhaps because the only friend around was Aria. The level of skinship she gave Aria and was almost the sa.
“Oh, that’s right. She forgot to ask earlier. “We made porridge and rice balls for you.”
“That’s right.”
Even though it was because I refused to do everything, I must have felt bad about not being able to visit both of them in the hospital, so I brought porridge and rice balls at lunchti, saying it was a patient al.
“Which of the two was mine?”
