I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

56 – [2] Shannon of Waterville

#056

If it wasn’t for the golem I dealt with.

If only I had been here a little earlier.

Before long, things like clear water droplets wet my eyes.

It was clear why he was doing that.

It could have been a bit pitiful.

Maybe it’s because it might have been able to get a good score.

She must have been repeating those things endlessly in her head.

I was very pessimistic about these thoughts.

It is still at this level, but was it really possible to get a good score at that time?

If it appeared, it was unavoidable.

There was little or no way around it, so I had to fight back somehow.

Although not used, one of the things I learned over the years was basic crisis management skills.

No, even if it’s not now, how do most gamers deal with a game character lying down or being suppressed?

Ha-su tries to escape the current situation by hitting any button.

The heavy hand is clumsy and slow to execute the escape command.

The master restores his posture at once as if he had never been attacked.

In other words, when situation A came up, you had to be able to calmly and quickly use coping method B.

That was the way to become a good Hunter, and it was the way to increase one’s own survival rate.

‘I can’t be a good Hunter.’

This was a comment about Shannon.

Even if you take away the ability to cope with the crisis, it was just like that when you look at the current situation.

To be honest, I could have messed up my practical skills once or twice and fell.

However, it was not completely over, and it was like a kind of childish thing to do after only one practice.

If you worked as an incumbent hunter, you could go through similar things countless times.

While promoting as a member of Nartika right away, I saw limbs and heads cut off.

There was a time when I endured being territorial by people twice my age, showing poor skills.

There was a time when he protected incompetent hunters with a thousand of them.

There were times when I withdrew midway through enduring resentment due to lack of resources.

At an ice cream shop near the gate, he was given a bunch of mysterious mint chocolate and a magical shooting star, saying he was having a hard time.

I am,,, I mean,,, the street is like a crazy old man, but even if I were a kid, my point of view was like that.

The act of bursting out in anger in a place like this was like showing one’s bowl.

And since it was a bowl, her true identity came to mind belatedly.

‘Shannon of Waterville.’

One of the companions who stays by the main character’s side from the very beginning.

However, a villain who can betray depending on the choice.

It’s a little different from the modeling in the game, but judging from the glass-like personality, it was unmistakable.

It was clear that she was Shannon of Waterville, who was famous for being one of the least powerful wizards of the Water School.

It was a very strange coincidence.

However, on the other hand, it was also an ambiguous moment to dismiss as a coincidence.

It was because the current situation was close to the way I ran into a celebrity on the road.

Sure enough, Shannon left lonely, swallowed by gloom.

It was short, but the relationship ends here.

There is probably little room for meeting again.

‘I passed the academy and became friends with the main character, and that was the setting that continued until the beginning of the game.’

Even considering the butterfly effect, if you consider the performance in the game, even the pull-up will pass.

Well, I wonder if we will run into each other on the road at least once in the future.

That doesn’t mean it was a big deal.

I’m going to act my way and I’m just going to leave it alone.

It didn’t matter to me whether Shannon succeeded with the heroine and thick slug lily, or whether she was rejected and evolved into a Crazy Hot Reds and took Wuthering Heights.

Rather, my interest now was the setting that Shannon and the main character are the same age and became friends at the academy.

This meant that the main character would also attend the academy from next year.

The main character could have been involved in my work… … .

It wasn’t.

I remember it as a setting that I was an ordinary cadet at the time of the academy.

Even at the beginning of the game, the main character was just an ordinary Hunter 1.

A person who is in a situation where he is worried about making a living because he is so ordinary.

It was just a matter of interest.

On the one hand, it was a waste of time.

I sighed at the thought of wasting calories.

As if nothing had happened, I headed straight for the next practical test.

* * *

If there was a breakup, there was also a reunion.

The problem was that the reunion came too soon.

“Kyaaah!”

The sequence of the next measurement.

Shannon was first and I was next.

I watched Shannon’s performance.

Shannon watched my performance.

It was an interesting series of twists and turns.

The same thing happened to someone who ruined his practical skills and went mental, and went mental after seeing what I was doing.

Fortunately, it wasn’t as badly ruined as before.

Shannon finished her practical training not badly.

“Huh… … Why eh… … .”

But even though I’m doing well, I’m still doing that.

There’s no answer.

Please stop voyeurizing other people’s practical work.

Not even once or twice, it was to the point where I could notice that he was doing something wrong.

In the end, I took the risk of wasting time and did something else for a while.

He headed towards the space inside the exam hall to take a break.

It was close to a modern library and a break room somewhere in between.

And because it was heterogeneous and confusing, it was filled with unmatched members.

It wasn’t just pure earthlings like blacks, whites, and yellows.

Mixed race Japanese with cat ears and tail.

A mixed-race Englishman with devil horns and a tail.

A biracial American with eagle wings on his back.

A mixed-race South African with deer-like antelope antlers.

A mixed-race Irishman with large dragon-like horns and tail.

A mixed race Korean like me with white hair and elf ears.

Etc.

“What, why? Is this the first time you see an Englishman wearing a cross necklace?”

“Hey you crazy Irish bastard! You don’t fold your tail straight?!”

“I wonder why white gnomes get angry when you say white elves.”

“Where do this guys keep flying?

“How come you don’t have a baby?”

The first world animal farm where numerous possible insect products are created.

When I entered the academy, I was really looking forward to what the classroom would be like.

Maybe there will be a fight once a week.

Perhaps, due to the sense of difference between each other, serious injuries will come out without exception.

“It’s crazy, it’s crazy.”

Of course, these weren’t big problems right now.

I sat and passed the time.

It was around the time when I thought Shannon had finished her practice.

“What the f—$%#@#$$#@$”

“Nicht bewe—%#$%#$%#”

“Outside! Outs─@%#[email protected]$%$%”

Several voices could be heard as if there was some commotion outside.

At first, people other than me listened to it and watched it.

However, the longer I waited, the louder and more complicated the voice became.

One by one, they looked around and began to notice.

What the hell is this all about?

Could there have been a fight somewhere?

The essence of a hunter is to pursue violence.

It was not surprising that the students who aspired to it had an accident.

However, it was questionable whether it was possible to hear such a complicated sound just because there was an accident.

This was close to a scream you wouldn’t hear unless there was a gang fight or a group of people lynched one person.

Eventually, a few people, including me, got up.

With accumulated doubts, I approached the door and pulled the handle.

Leaving behind the brilliant colors of the ceiling.

We looked beyond the door and into the hallway, which had been fine until just now.

And, briefly, he spat out.

“It sucks.”

“You there! Shut the f*ck up!”

Interpreter Buzz changed the voice heard.

It was an old-fashioned accent, and the mood changed in an instant.

“Don’t let anyone come! If you come closer, I will rip the scroll!”

The shape of a large number of test takers surrounding one test taker.

However, the initiative belonged to an examinee who had small scrolls attached to his body and was holding a large scroll.

It was guessed from the colorful explosion pattern that can be seen from afar.

Those scrolls were obviously high-end explosive scrolls.

The man doing these crazy things had blonde hair.

Considering his zeal, I could guess where he was from.

“Calm down there for a moment and put down the scroll—”

“Shut up, unbeliever! If you move further, I will blow this place up!”

“No sh*t… … .”

“I told you to shut up! No, no. You don’t have to shut up! Everything that will happen from now on will be your original sin!”

“I have never been guilty.”

“me too.”

“Do you guys know why I came here today! It was because of the World Tree’s order!”

World tree fanatics.

The world tree version of ISIS that appears in the game even if you forget it.

They were jihadists who either staged terrorism and drove the game story to catastrophe, or simply appeared as field monsters.

The World Tree fanatics had only one purpose: to eliminate all groups and individuals who refused to accept the World Tree.

It could be said that the appearance of a mentally ill person who is common in the Middle East out of nowhere was the height of embarrassment.

Even if terrorism without signs is the basis of terrorism, it means that I never imagined that I would be the target.

‘Didn’t Marie tell me that this would happen?’

Regressors know the future, so if something like today happened, they had to give it a hint.

But now I hadn’t heard anything.

What is it?

Thousands betray me?

Even though he had a bad personality, he wasn’t the kind of kid he’d dare to be.

What Thousands Didn’t Know?

I should have made a fleeting return, but I didn’t know.

What a thousand birds forgot?

Does it make sense to forget something so serious?

However, considering the nature of a thousand people, anything was possible.

In such a serious situation, at the reality of having to worry about this, it was the moment when the curse was about to come out.

“number of people?”

“yes! It was an order to condemn the filthy demons and bring justice!”

“uh… … We’re not demons, we’re just humans.”

“lie! You follow a cursed idea and reject the world tree, but aren’t you a demon?! The red half and the lower half are oily resins too! Even if it’s just that fancy tool on your wrist—”

“No, this is just a convenience tool and shield generator.”

“Look! The very fact that you use such a thing is proof that you are a demon!”

“Are you sick?”

As if looking for an opportunity, some of the smarter students continued to vomit questions and swear words.

The zealot threw an answer to the question as if he knew nothing.

It was a desperate confrontation to make the most of time.

There was no mate because it was dangerous, and a guard or a hunter had to come right away.

bang-!

What actually came was a roar from somewhere.
