Chapter 106:
Mari was one of the characters in the Academy who has her own story.
In the original, she was also one of the characters who was extremely wary of people, and it was difficult to watch all of her stories because she would be extremely wary of anyone who tried to talk to her or get close to her, but it was later revealed why.
[Title: Mari Pierced]
[Author : ]
[Contents : I was going to take the academy handsome route and do the unreleased, but I got Mari in chapter 2.]
It was.
She was a character who was weary and reluctant to talk to anyone who wasnt handsome enough.
I dont know why, but fortunately, my notoriety level at the academy was extremely high due to the attribute [Bad Guy], and I could boast of being much more attractive than a normal character.
As a result.
Uh, can I call you Mr. Eugene Han?
Feel free to call me Eugene. Oh, and I can call you Mari, right?
Mari Yes!
It was possible to have a conversation like this.
Academy Year 1, Class A, were going to start Survival class now, lets go!
At the same time as the survival lesson, the children began to climb the mountain one by one, and we were about to walk up the mountain to get the ingredients.
Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Its so hard!
One minute into the climb. Even though I can still see the starting point, Mari shouts at me in a deathly voice.
Too hard?
Haaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Now that I think about it, I dont think Ive ever seen her wandering around the academy except on her way to or from school.
Does she always sit down, even during breaks?
I sighed as I realized that she didnt have the stamina I had imagined.
You should just do what you normally do.
But, if Im the only one doing it, Im going to look a little out of place.
I dont care. Im not this tired in the first place.
Oh. Well, then excuse me.
After listening to me, Mari finally squirmed in her seat.
She touches the floor with her bare hands and theres a thud. With a sound, the dirt began to rise and mold into a golem that was slightly larger than a human.
Guuuu
The golem let out an odd sound and emitted a red glow from its eyes.
Mari jumped on top of it and clung to it with an expression that said she was finally going to live.
Aah, Ill live.
This was her ability, Puppet master.
She could create puppets that could control anything within the limits of her magic.
These puppets are considered inanimate objects, making them completely immune to curses, poisons, and diseases, and she uses this to her advantage as a hero in many dungeons and against villains.
Of course, even then, its hard to get a conversation going if you dont have a certain amount of charm.
I didnt think to ask in all the hustle and bustle, what kind of food do we make?
The golem stomps along in silence.
Mari looks at me, finally relaxed, and asks.
Well, since the class is outdoors, well need something simple to prepare. MmmCacciatore should do the trick.
Caccia what?
Its an Italian meat dish. Im making it with rabbit, so itll be Coniglio alla Cacciatora.
I dont know why I knew, but it was the only dish I could vaguely recall, so there really wasnt any other answer.
The recipe was pretty simple, coming from the way hunters cooked their kill.
It might even look pretty good to the instructor, since the word cacciatore meant hunter.
Konilialakacha Eh, I dont know about that, so what do we do?
Well, well start by spreading your minions throughout the forest for supplies as soon as we can. Heres what we need.
I explained to her every single ingredient that would be there.
I just need you to find some wine flowers, evil tomatoes, blue limes, rock salt, wild leeks, and your favorite vegetables.
These were ingredients easily found in the mountains behind the academy, so they shouldnt be hard to come by.
Uh thats a lot?
If were going to do it, we might as well do it right. By the way, how many minions can you handle in total?
Three, if theyre golems like this one. Nine if theyre the size of mice.
Nine.
The ingredients arent that big, so mice should be enough. Can you do it right now, and do you know what the ingredients look like?
I look like this, but Im a top handwriter.
From beneath her golem, nine deformed mice with bulletproof helmets sprang forth.
Unlike ordinary golems, their eyes reveal intelligence.
One through nine. The ingredients I sent to your head. Can you retrieve them?
Click-click-click-click!
One of the rats, who seems to be the leader of the group, steps forward and stands on his two feet, saluting Mari.
Judging by the number [1] on his helmet, he must be number one.
After looking at the rats scattering in all directions, Mari looked back at me.
So, we can rest now?!
Of course not, we have to go get the main ingredient, rabbit meat.
What?!
She asked, shocked that we had to get moving again.
I know where the rabbit is, just follow me slowly. Its not that far away anyway.
Its .
With that, Mari followed me on the golem further into the mountain.
The further we went, the more difficult the mountain became.
Wouldnt we be able to say that we were on a real mountain?
Just as I was thinking about it.
Oops, theres a rabbit in No. 6s vision! What should I do? Should I go there?
Apparently, her minion had spotted a rabbit in her field of vision.
What does it look like?
What? A rabbit is just a rabbit, right?
Mari asks, confused by my question.
Judging by her reaction, its not the rabbit Im looking for.
Well, I guess we can leave it alone, then, because I dont think its the rabbit were looking for.
What? Youre looking for a different rabbit?
Its just an evaluation. If you cook with an ordinary rabbit, youll end up with an ordinary dish, so you should use a special rabbit. Oh, is that it?
Just then, a large cave appeared in front of us.
It was surrounded by stunted trees and barren ground and the sight was so eerie that Mari slowly shrank back inside the golem.
Heyits kind of weird heretheres nothing around, there cant be rabbits in a place like this!
There.
I say, pointing to the front of the cave, to the mountainous pile of bones.
Theres a pile of bones right there. Thats proof that theres a rabbit.
What? No, what kind of rabbit eats meat! More than that, arent those monster bones?
Is it weird that monsters eat monsters?
Its not weird! Whats weird is that a rabbit ate a needle bore! What the hell lives in there
Quiet.
I quickly raised my hand to stop her from saying more.
Its him.
At that moment.
A thud! Thump! The ground begins to rumble with thuds.
What the hell is in there?
Mari asks in a whisper, still not sure if she wants to follow my instructions to be quiet.
A rabbit.
It cant be an ordinary rabbit with the ground rumbling like that.
Yeah, no ordinary rabbit.
Its called fluffy rabbit.
Fluffy rabbit?
Fluffy Rabbit was the owner of the mountain behind the academy and was nicknamed Mountain God.
His characteristic was, as the name suggests, a full-bodied rabbit. He weighed six tons and had a distinctive appearance.
Here it comes.
The thumping sound gets closer and closer, and the creature is revealed.
His fur is white and fluffy, reminiscent of a snowy field. Two long ears and red eyes. And.
Its a rabbit?
I told you. Its a rabbit.
And its cuddly.
It had the appearance of a poor rabbit.
How the hell does it hunt in that form? It looks so weak.
Its a trap.
Its hunting method is very simple.
If he stands still, predators will pounce on him to eat him. Thats when he does what he does best: torso bashing.
With six tons of mass compressed into its tiny size, it could have been described as a point-blank dump truck.
A torso slam alone could shatter the shields of an average mage.
Still, he wasnt such a difficult prey for those who knew how to catch him.
Mari, I need to ask you a favor.
What? What kind of favor? Youre not asking me to do anything, are you? Im going to die, Im really going to die!
I havent even spoken yet, and shes already freaking out.
I sighed and pointed not at her, but at the golem she was riding.
Id like to use that golem as bait.
You meannot me?
Yeah.
What the hell was she thinking?
No one in their right mind would ever think of baiting a child in their own class or so I thought.
Anyway, for now, I was just using the golem as bait.
Because of its weight, once it charges, there will inevitably be a gap, and I plan to take advantage of that gap.
It felt like a one-hit wonder risk.
After all, the hunting grounds behind the academy were reserved for beginners, and the patterns were all simple, no matter how strong the monsters were.
If thats the case, I dont care. Its a golem, and if it breaks, I can just rebuild it.
Then do me a favor. Slowly, very slowly, move the golem in front of him.
Yes, ouch.
Mari gets off the golem with a grunt, and at a wave of her hand, the golem slowly begins to walk toward the rabbit.
The rabbits ears perk up in response.
When the golem is finally completely off the cliff, the rabbit is alert and begins to scratch at the ground with its hind feet.
A pattern of sorts, before it lunges.
At the same time.
BANG!!!
A sound like a bomb exploding rang out as the rabbit shot like a cannonball toward the golem, causing a huge cloud of dirt to rise.
Kaaaak!!!
Mari ducked down, stunned by the overwhelming power.
Leaving her behind, I used my [Skill: Aura Sonar] to locate the creature and jumped towards it.
With its overwhelming mass, the most reliable way to deal damage is through strikes.
I wrapped my fist in aura and threw my fist at the fluffy rabbit, hoping to finish it off in one blow.
Gotcha.
