Chapter 68

“I will first place only the archer and fighter in the front line, and the rest will be behind where the golem master can’t see.”

Ji-hyun’s eyes narrowed as if she was interested in my words.

“Isn’t it too much to defend against the incoming golems with just two archers and fighters?”

“The hint was in what the instructor said. No matter how many golems there are, they are made of asphalt and concrete and can be easily broken by awakeners, so two people can buy time.”

That’s right. I placed the archer and fighter in the front line not to break through, but to hold on.

“Even so, if you say so, you won’t be able to hold on for long?”

“That’s why you have to drop them from a higher place.”

I said that and pointed to the space mage in the simulation window.

“The instructor said that she made this simulation based on what she experienced herself. That means that the specs of that space mage are the same as instructor Ji-hyun at that time. Then I will move the rest of the members to the top of the golem master from where he can’t see.”

And as I said, they appeared above Golem Master.

“Hmm, not bad. But it’s hard to break through his defense with just this?”

“That’s why you have to drop them from a higher place, as high as you can.”

I said that and manipulated the controller to change the starting position.

Then they slowly began to rise into the air and soon they reached a height equivalent to the roof of a 50-story building.

“This should be enough for him not to break through no matter what terrain or object he uses around him.”

As I smiled and pointed at them, Ji-hyun and the kids around me made a dumbfounded expression.

“You mean if you drop them from here, you can win without any loss in simulation results?”

I nodded my head and Ji-hyun moved her finger to change the situation board.

“Okay, since you’re last, let me show you how we dealt with him at that time.”

The formation that Ji-hyun showed was a formation where the space mage was leading like a wedge.

As she flicked her finger, the members started moving and rushed towards where the golem master was.

And at the same time, something strange started to happen.

The golems disappeared as if they were erased by the direction of movement of the space mage.

As everyone showed a puzzled reaction to this phenomenon, Ji-hyun began to explain.

“Golems are not really living things. They are like stone dolls that move without will according to commands. That’s why we were able to make a road like that by pushing away the golems.”

They reached in front of the golem master by erasing the surrounding golems.

Soon after, the body of the golem master began to grow and swell up to the size of a building.

“But he’s not stupid either. He decided to switch from making more golems to strengthening himself when he realized that he couldn’t stop us with golems. That’s how we started a 1:5 battle with him.”

No matter what he was a ‘golem master’ and a named villain who had spread his name widely so the battle was tough despite being 1 vs 5.

The warrior and fighter began to break down the golem’s outer shell, while the archer and mage attacked by taking advantage of the gap, while the paladin protected his teammates from his attacks with a holy shield.

In the process, the warrior and fighter were hit by his attack and flew away, but they were raised again by the paladin’s ability and fought against him until the end.

As a result the body of the golem master eventually began to collapse.

“The final result was serious injuries for both the warrior and fighter but fortunately, there were only injuries that could be treated and we were able to subdue him without a single casualty.”

It was literally an ideal victory for heroes, a battle where no one died despite fighting a powerful enemy.

It was natural for Ji-hyun to be proud of being part of such a battle.

“Now it’s your turn, Eugene Han.”

The characters in the simulation moved back as if time was reversed and changed into what I had planned.

The paladin, warrior, and space mage were falling from high places.

Before starting, I looked at Ji-hyun and the kids and said,

“The biggest drawback of your strategy was that it all happened within sight of Golem Master. That’s why he started strengthening himself as soon as he realized that golems wouldn’t work so I thought of this formation.”

A battle that starts from a place he can never find.

It was a formation that no normal person could even imagine.

“I’m curious too, then, let’s start?”

“Please.”

As she smiled and flicked her finger, the golems started pouring out like water toward the two fighters and archers who were left alone.

The archer and fighter began to fight back.

Arrows shot into the sky rained down like rain, and aura sprang from the fists of the fighter and crushed them.

But the golems were like zombies who found humans, even if they were hit by arrows or fists, they silently surrounded them and narrowed the distance little by little.

The archer and fighter tried to resist until the end, but the siege was gradually narrowing.

“If this goes on, the archer and fighter will be wiped out?”

Ji-hyun raised her mouth and looked at me in a situation that was nothing but hellish.

“They won’t be if the other side that’s falling acts.”

───────!!

At the same time, there was a sound of tearing the air, and a flash of light flashed in one corner of the simulation field, followed by a loud noise and a mushroom cloud.

It was a phenomenon caused by the collision of the three bodies falling from high places with the ‘golem master’.

“This is the highlight. No matter what, he wouldn’t have expected an attack falling from the height of a building so he doesn’t even have time to defend his head and then the warrior uses gravity energy to use a skill on him. Even if the Golem Doctor came, he would die instantly.”

By the way, Golem Doctor was a villain who was actually Golem Master’s teacher.

The golems that surrounded the archer and fighter began to disappear one by one.

As I predicted, ‘Golem Master’ was definitely dead.

“Ha, let’s say this is good. But with that much impact, wouldn’t the space mage as well as the other two die?”

“No way. That’s not a strategy, it’s a suicide.”

Then something crawled out of the cloud of smoke.

It was a warrior, paladin, and space mage.

“…They’re alive?”

“Does that make sense?”

“Weren’t awakeners supposed to die if they fell from that height?”

The classroom buzzed as they walked out without any major injuries.

Ji-hyun looked at me with disbelief and asked.

“How is that possible?”

I continued to explain as I said that.

“The paladin and space mage weren’t just playing while the warrior was attacking. The paladin’s ‘Holy Shield’ skill can reduce the impact of falling to the ground as well while the space mage places countless panels made of magic underground to absorb the impact.”

When I fell from a high place onto a tree, I quoted a method that greatly reduced the impact.

“Then the paladins can reduce the impact several times by touching the ground once, and then breaking through the floor and falling to the end. The actual damage to them would not be much.”

Then one of the students in front of me raised his hand with a flash.

“Wait! There’s an underground, what do you mean?”

“Didn’t the instructor say ‘Gangnam-daero at Gangnam Station’ when she mentioned the place? If it’s a location in the simulation, it’s common sense that anyone can know if they think a little bit that there is space underground because of shops and subways.”

It was a way that only those who fully understood the characteristics and skills of paladins and space mages, as well as the combat environment, could think of, so I could confidently say that its effect was as good as it was.

I also simulated it several times in the game.

Well, then…

“I don’t know if you answered it. Instructor Ji-hyun?”

She bowed her head as she heard my answer.

The students who started to notice each other.

Maybe they’re thinking like that.

If they had done that at the time, they could have ended without anyone getting hurt, so she was embarrassed now.

But…

“Puhu… Puhahahaha… Khat hahahaha! Of course you answered right! I didn’t expect you to come up with such a crazy idea.”

The Ji-hyun I knew was not a person who would be weak for such a thing.

“This class is not a competition to regret the past. Rather, it is a class designed to share and acquire tactics that will help you in case of similar incidents in the future based on the past events.”

She explained the purpose of the class and came over to me and suddenly put her hand on my head.

“And, Eugene Han showed such a satisfying result for this purpose. You’re a great guy.”

…A situation where I’m being forced to be stroked.

But it was also a situation where I couldn’t shake off her hand because of the atmosphere.

“As you can see, there is no such thing as an answer in tactics. Depending on your colleagues’ abilities, the surrounding environment, and the enemy’s personality or abilities, everything changes and gets tangled up. But──”

Ji-hyun looked at the students and spoke in a more serious voice than ever.

“If you don’t give up, think until the end, and want to do something for your colleagues, you can be a victorious hero in any situation.”

At the same time, cheerful music flowed from the speakers in the classroom and announced that the class was over.

At that time, the simulation battlefield disappeared with a bang and everyone’s desk moved back to its original position.

“Class is over. You all worked hard today and Eugene Han, come get your reward later.”

“…Thank you.”

She waved her hand and left the classroom after saying everything she wanted to say.

The last time I saw her, she was smiling brightly until the end.
