Evil Avalon

Chapter 51-New Weapon

{SPONSORED CHAPTER-8(last)}

(Sponsor- Krazey)

(TL:By Rafael)

All the cherry blossoms in the school had already fallen, and the three of us walked along the lush, leafy avenue of cherry trees. The sun was still high after four o'clock in the afternoon, and the shaded sidewalks were glistening with sunlight through the trees.

　

　This area is already a workshop area. Since a few minutes ago, transporters and private contractors have been coming and going incessantly, and I can hear the sounds of metal processing and talking coming from everywhere. It must be the most lively time of the day.

　

　After another 100 meters or so, we arrived at the workshop where we had requested the smelting of mithril ore. I immediately called out from the entrance, but there was no response, and when I peeked inside, there was no one there. I had no choice but to look around to see if there was anyone nearby.

　

　Omiya-san told me that he heard voices coming from the other side, so I went to the storage area next to the workshop, where I found a familiar large boy talking to me with a big smile on his face.

"What do you think of my new weapon?

"It's great. "

"How much did it cost?"

　

　He was waving his weapon around, showing off to the younger first-year students. ...... From the way it glowed, it seemed to be made of mithril alloy.

"Excuse me, what happened to the mithril alloy I asked you to refine the other day?"

"Hmm?"

　

　He finally noticed me and suddenly became unhappy because I had interrupted his boasting. Well, it's a job that takes money, so I hope you'll switch it up there. When I took out the refining request contract certificate from my bag and handed it to him, the senior who received it flicked it with his middle finger and began to laugh through his nose.

"Hey, this is a fake. I'll turn you in to the student council."

　

　I had a bad feeling about this, but it seems that the weapon he was bragging about earlier was made from my ore. But let's calm down. ...... It's still too early to resort to the last resort. ....... I'll forgive him if he get down on his knees and say, "I'm sorry for what I did," .

"Well, it's something you wrote here yesterday. The handwriting looks familiar, doesn't it?"

"There's no studio stamp on it. First of all, you're in first year E class, right?How can such a small fish bring mithril ore? I'm sure you stole it anyway, huh?

　

The thieving bastard blustered and intimidated as if to say that he would not tolerate any rebuttal.The first-years, who seemed to be someone new, and Omiya and Nitta, who were behind him, were surprised by his bravado, wondering what was going on.

　

　Mithril ore may be expensive, but it's not impossible to buy. In addition, it is not uncommon for the school workshop to receive requests to create items using mithril ore, so it is not a rare ore. But even if you try to reason with him, it's clear that he won't listen and will just keep pushing the stolen settings.

　"(What's going on? Is it possible that the ore has been taken?)"

　

　Omiya-san asked in a worried whisper. I'm sorry you had to come along with me. I guess I should have known the request procedure better, but I was tired and distracted at the time. I completely forgot that there are many of these bastards in this world. I'm so tired.

　

　What should I do now? It would be easy to go on a rampage here, but ......

　

　He's saying that he's going to turn me in to the student council, but how is the student council going to judge me if they don't know anything about me? Are they going to blame me for being in class E?

　

But if I keep my fingers crossed, my mithril ore will still be taken. It might be a good idea to leave the rampage as a last resort and entrust it to the student council, who might be more understanding than this thief.

"Then let's have the student council call the decision."

"The kid from class E doesn't seem to understand ...... his place in the world.

　

He threatened me with a test cut with a mithril alloy curved sword - a sword I really wanted my sister to be able to use. What kind of upbringing did you have to have to threaten me with such a thing? I guess there is no such thing as a violation of the Firearms Act in this country, but this is clearly beyond the pale.

　

　If violence is inevitable, there is no way around it. Let's try to do a simple appraisal of the thief in front of me.

＜Name＞ Yuzuru Kumazawa

<Job> Fighter

<Strength> Too weak to be an opponent

＜Number of Skills possessed＞ 3

　

　It looks like he doesn't have the Fake, and I can probably win with my bare hands, but.........If I'm going to do this, I'm going to have to get out of the way of the outside world.And about the other guy I don't know his class or name because he's not a freshman ......E class, but he glares at me from behind Kumazawa with an accusing look in his eyes.

"You!　　You're appraising me!

"Hey, hey, You can't be violent!Give me that contract again. ......

"Shut the fuck up!"

　

　He raise his fist to strike Omiya-san in the face as he steps forward, but before he can swing  it down, I grab his arm to stop him. I'll just grip him like this.

"What's the matter, trouble?...... it's you guys again?"

　

　I wondered who it was, but the third year student member we had spoken to in the student council room interrupted me. He had just finished locking up and was on his way home when he heard loud voices and came to check on us. Kumazawa had been so brash, but as soon as the student member showed up, he started to act all deferential and give a bunch of convenient reasons. I felt like kicking his ass.

　

　I'd like to kick him in the ass, but it would be a disadvantage if he just listened to him, so I produced the contract and claimed that he was using my ore for his own personal use, and he changed his reasoning to say that the ore itself was stolen.

"So, this guy might have stolen the ore from somewhere else."

　

　The student member listened to the thieving bastard's argument while looking at me with dour eyes.

"That's right. That's why I decided to give him a little pain.

"...... Hmm. And you--"

　

　Where did you get the mithril ore from, or did you collect it? He asked me for proof if I had any, and asked me how I got it, but I don't think it would work to say "I got it from Obaba's store on the 10th floor," and before that, I'm not going to tell him, since the very existence of the store is classified.

"What's wrong, tell me. ...... I don't really think it's stolen, do you?

　

The student members invoked their "aura" and intimidated me, saying that if I didn't answer, they would use force to find out.

　

...... Jeez. It seems like every single person in this world thinks that intimidation is a quick fix to something.The man in front of me is probably a knight in shining armor, but what if something happens to him when he overpowers someone whose identity he doesn't know?

　

　I knew this was going to happen, so I let Omiya-san fall back and I stepped forward to become a wall.

(Level 20 or so, is it higher among the students of the school?)

　

I have not done a simple appraisal, but I can tell from the amount of aura that he is on the same level as me. In the waist hangs a short staff inlaid with navy blue jewels, which so far does not seem to be pulled out. I'm not sure if it's a pure magic job or if it's a wand fighter type of wand fighter because it faces the front and the center of gravity is not unbalanced.[Caster] ...... No, it might be a [Wizard] in terms of level.

　

Of course, there's no way I can make a determination based on appearance alone. This is where the 《Simple Appraisal》 comes in.

<Name> Sagara Akizane

＜Job＞ Wizard

＜Strength＞ Somewhat strong

＜Number of skills possessed＞ 4

　

　--Level 21, Number of Skills: 4, Intermediate Job 【Wizard】, and does not possess 《Fake》. The number of skills indicates that he does not have any warrior or thief skills, and is a pure magic specialist.

　

　It's clear that he has very little experience in interpersonal combat. You may have absolute confidence in your own strength,......, but this guy has no idea how strong the person he is fighting in front of him is before he even licks me.Therefore, even if I move my center of gravity slightly,  I can cut the menchi at a close distance without paying attention

　

　In PvP (*1), mages need to use their footwork and short bursts of magic to fight, but Sagara has not had enough experience in such PvP. I wonder if he has only ever faced the overwhelmingly weak. And even if he has faced the strong, his main tactic is to shoot high-powered long-range magic attacks from behind the walls of his allies.

　

　I'd like to tell him how foolish it is for a wizard with no fighting experience to go toe to toe with me in close quarters like this,......, but the other guy has a title. It's good to defend yourself, but it's bad to mess with them.

　

　Sagara have also used a "simple appraisal". It's as uncomfortable as a bird of prey staring at you from mid-range, but since I'm disguised as a fake, it's impossible to see my true status through the "simple appraisal. The appraisal results will show that I am a [Newbie], "too weak to be an opponent".

"...... You're a strange guy."

"And you're going to use your power?"

　

Sagara became even more intimidating and slammed as much "Aura" as he could carry at us. Originally, "Aura" was used as a way to avoid battles by hitting low-level monsters in dungeons. Aura's intimidation will not work against monsters of almost the same level.

(TL: And here I thought it was a way to show off)

　

　However, most of the monsters in this place are not of the same level.

　

　It is not possible to prevent all of the Aura from Sagara, even though I am a wall,  Omiya-san is deflated by the high-level Aura but Nittta-san's cool face, even though she's level 5, is a bit amusing.

　

　In any case, if this situation continues, it will poison my body, so I have to settle this quickly - just as I was thinking that, he suddenly stopped intimidating me.

"Hmm ......, so that's how it  is. Sota Narumi, I'll keep that in mind."

　

　I'm not sure what it is, but I'm glad that he convinced himself and retracted his aura. But the fact that he remembered my name from the "simple appraisal" is ...... something that I pray will not cause any trouble.

"Hey. I'm sure this guy can get the mithril ore by himself. I order you to return or compensate him for everything that was his. Okay?"

"Eh, but the ore is already ......."

　

　This time, Kumazawa was intimidated by Sagara's aura and flipped over. He's a prideful and snobbish student member, but if this is how he's going to solve the problem, I'll thank him for  today.

(*1) PvP

PvP is an abbreviation for "Player vs Player," a one-on-one or many-to-many battle between players, not NPCs. PK is also a battle between players, but it is distinguished as PvP when both sides agree to fight, and PK when there is no agreement and players unilaterally attack each other.

TL Note- Well all the sponsored chapters are over now and we thank Krazey for this amazing story. There are only 5 chapters left now  for the raws so the price per Chapter has been increased to 10 dollar per Chapter and the Author  of  Evil Avalon has been on a break since September, so finger crossed .

P.S- The next 5 Chapters focuses on the relationships between Mc Sota , Childhood friend-Kowaru, MC sister- Hanano.
