I’ll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

****

The weapons he chose were a long sword and armor.
It was a weapon that wasn’t particularly special, but there were some choices that were different from the others.

There wasn’t just one type of armor.

From solid armor to a shield worn on the hand, a helmet worn on the head, and a mysterious white ball that uses magic to create a transparent protective shield, various uses stood out.
He could only choose one of them.

Most chose a shield to wear on their hands.
The magic ball would have been quite useful if used well, but because it was a strange object, not many people used it for important tests.

Leon, on the other hand, held the magic orb in his left hand and a long sword in the other hand.

The instructor freed the monster that had been imprisoned in the cage.
Then, a monster the size of a palm crawled out on all fours.

“What, why is such a cute monster?”

A small exclamation flowed from the surroundings.
Some said Leon was lucky and envied that the test would be over soon.

However, the little monster that came out of the cage dug the ground and went inside. 

A cool silence lingered in the hall.

“No, what kind of monster goes into the ground in an instant? Mole?”

The cadets who were watching the exam muttered in absurd voices.
However, Leon did not show any particular expression.

He quietly scanned the large space that stretched out into the hall.
It was impossible to predict where the monster had disappeared.

Then, in an instant, the monster jumped out at Leon’s feet.
The monster who people thought was cute, opened his mouth, revealing two teeth the size of a forearm.

The monster who jumped high towards Leon quickly dug back into the ground.

A chilling silence continued in the hall.

“… Who said that monster was cute? Apologize right now.”

One of the cadets who was watching the exam muttered with a serious face.
As he said, the way the monster attacked was very ugly.

It was an enemy who caught his opponent off guard and then quickly launched an attack.

Leon stopped moving.
The sword blade was lowered so that the sound did not flow as much as possible.

His black eyes stared quietly at the ground.

And the monster appeared again.
This time, it cut through the ground at a distance from Leon and quickly moved forward.

It was only when the monster reached in front of Leon’s shoes that it jumped high into the air.
At the same time, Leon threw the magic ball he was holding in his left hand at the monster.

It was traditionally fitted to the body of the monster, and a transparent shield formed round.

“Why is he using that precious weapon on the monster?”

One of the cadets muttered as if he couldn’t understand Leon’s actions.

But Filina knew Leon’s choice was wise.

She could tell by looking at the monster standing up on the ground.

The monster could no longer hide itself in the ground.
It was because the round shield tightly surrounded the monster.

Leon straightened his sword and took his stance.
The monster, who had nowhere else to escape, was expected to die in vain at his hand.

No matter how hard its armor was, there was no way to block Leon’s sword.

A sharp blade rose high in the air, and quickly swung towards its target.

The transparent protective shield surrounding the monster was cracked in several directions as if it could be shattered at any moment.
And a little light flickered.

Filina’s eyebrows twitched.

But the protective shield was not broken.
It looked like a spider’s web, which made several patterns and hardened even more.

It was a strange sight.
Why didn’t the protective shield break but it was stronger?

Leon held the blade down and slashed the sword at the monster.

But his sharp blade pierced through the bare ground.
It was because the monster quickly escaped Leon’s sword.

Filina felt a strange sense of dread.

Obviously, she had a memory of experiencing something like this one before.

She frowned and turned her head away.

Her gaze, looking around, reached the outer wall of the dormitory building.

Someone was smiling and moving his fingers.

The narrow, curved red eyes were annoying.

Filina got up immediately and ran to Hugh’s place.

Leon was blocking the sharp teeth of the monster with his sword.
As the power of the monster grew stronger, the blood veins appeared on Leon’s forearms.

Filina put more speed on her legs.
Hugh showed up at last, and she couldn’t figure out why he was playing this prank again.

He was in good shape with no injuries.

Filina approached behind Hugh and was about to reach out her hands to cover his eyes.
But at that moment, Hugh turned his body around and quickly grabbed Filina’s two wrists.

As if he knew in advance she would come to him, Filina drew an absurd smile on her lips.

“Did you deliberately cast a spell on that monster to see me?”

Hugh replied with a smile on his face as he looked at Filina’s annoyed face.

 “As expected, you’re quick-witted.”

At that moment, the instructor’s voice came from the auditorium that Leon had passed the test.

It seemed that Hugh’s spell was broken.
Filina pulled out both of her wrists that had been caught by him with annoyed gestures.

“You really make me angry, what is it?”

Filina said, glaring at Hugh fiercely, but Hugh asked, pointing towards Leon.

“Is he your lover?”

“…what are you talking about?”

As Filina mumbled as if it was ridiculous, Hugh smiled as if it was a satisfactory answer.

“If he’s not your lover, why are you so angry?”

“Because what you’re doing is annoying.”

She couldn’t say that Leon and her had been friends in her previous life, so she was just angry.

Hugh only raised his lips softly as if it was interesting to see such Filina.

“Still, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, aren’t you getting too angry?”

Filina frowned at his words.

“Where the hell have you been? You told me to come find you if I want to use my divine power.”

Hugh’s eyes twinkled at Filina’s piercing voice and pressed his face into hers.

“Did you find me? Do you want to use your divine power properly?”

Filina pushed his forehead away with her fingers, she said.

“First of all, I have a lot of questions.
You gave a brief explanation of the divine power, but that’s not enough.
I want to know more.”

As she said with a firm face, Hugh replied as if nothing had happened.

“It is easier to understand by doing it than by hearing it in theory.
What are you thinking about? All you have to do is go to the forest of hallucinations with me.”

“The forest of hallucinations?”

Ad Filina mumbled with a puzzled face, Hugh smiled, folding his eyes in half.

“There is nothing urgent.
After the promotion exam, each person is given a vacation.
During that time, I also have something to manufacture at the magic tower, so let’s do it later.”

Hugh glanced towards the training ground and continued.

“I almost died of boredom being confined to the forest of hallucinations.
Who knew I would miss the air so much?” 

He furrowed his eyebrows and whispered in a low voice.

And the name of the cadet who will take the next promotion test was called.

“Sir Fieldman, are you in your seat?”

As the instructor looked around to find Hugh, Hugh raised one hand and entered the hall.

“Here I am, handsome instructor.”

Hugh let out a playful voice and entered the examination place.

The cadets were all astonished at his daring speech.

“Sir Fieldman, this is the Military Academy.
Be polite.”

The instructor exhaled in a hard voice and gestured towards where the monsters were contained.
Then another instructor at the hall loosened the chains on the gate.

At the same time, the monster inside the cage started to inflate its body like a balloon.
Its body grew to the fullest without knowing the extent.

Then the monster that came out of the cage reduced the size of its body in an instant like a deflated balloon.
Then, the monster of an appropriate size was seen.

The weapon Hugh chose was a long spear.
The wizard was holding a spear in the middle of the auditorium, so it really didn’t suit him.

Did he know how to use the spear when he didn’t go to class properly?

It was better to pick up a sword like everyone else.

The monster once again greatly expanded its body.
While he could not predict what kind of attack he was going to make, the monster’s body suddenly exceeded Hugh’s height in an instant.

The monster became a huge ball and started rolling towards him.

Hugh smiled leisurely and ran to the other side.

The monster tenaciously followed the direction in which he was moving, and Hugh jumped high with a light footstep, and in an instant he landed on the monster’s round body.

An absurd smile flowed from Filina’s lips as she looked at the scene.
Everyone’s face and the same expression.

They could see Hugh’s smiling face, as if riding on an amusement ride.

His one hand was in his pants pocket and he walked leisurely like enjoying a day out to the direction where the monster was rolling.

Hugh had a record of making three wild boars dance in front of cadets in the entrance exam for the swordsmanship academy.

Everything about him was unusual.

Filina shook her head as she sighed with an absurd look on her face.

Hugh, who had been playing for a while on the monster’s body, jumped off with a light gesture.
Then he kicked the monster towards the sky with his feet.

The eyes of the cadets went up, following the monster that flew high into the air.

Hugh threw the spear in his hand straight into the sky.

It landed exactly on the body of the monster that floated up, and it made a popping sound in the air, like a balloon popping with a needle.

The instructor muttered in a low voice.

“Hugh Fieldman, you passed the promotion exam.
Congratulations.”

The monster that fell to the floor was struck by the spear that Hugh threw and collapsed.
The cadets who watched the game were bewildered by the game that was over in an instant.
That’s right, except for the time Hugh played with the monster, the test was finished in a really short time.

It also ended in vain by throwing a spear at the monster as if playing a game.

Everyone who watched it looked surprised, but only Hugh was tidying up his hair without any agitation.

They couldn’t help but be amazed.

Perhaps, for him, military academy was just a game to relieve boredom.
