I Became the Academy's Disabled Student-Chapter 321: The back side (3)
I resumed my arduous march as I had been doing for a while.
I passed several cities similar to the ruins I had first encountered, and I crossed mountains and rivers.
- Heuheu... Hooo...
However, as time passed equally, it became twice as hard.
I shook my head and closed my eyes.
A cold sweat flowed down my eyelids. My lips were as dry as if I had fallen into the desert, and my breathing became rapid.
The other side functions like a dungeon. It gives compensation to the monsters it has created, and oppression to the intruders.
I am clearly an intruder.
‘The oppression is stronger than I imagined... I can’t stay there for too long.’
The observations I was trying to spread out were crumpled. The observations that I had been able to expand and close freely as I gradually became more skilled were now unfree.
The same goes for space.
In particular, spatial perception, which I am not proud of as much as other skills, is difficult to keep operating.
Therefore, I only exercise observation occasionally, and invest all my remaining mental power in space.
‘I did well to train my senses. I can close observation and conserve as much mental power as possible.’
While I close observation, I become blind (quasi-blind), but if I sharpen my senses, I can fight to some extent.
Should I call it a kind of power-saving mode?
Of course, I am moving forward while conserving mental power as much as possible, but that is also a bit difficult.
However, I could not back down here.
I had thought that before entering the back side, but after entering, my determination became even stronger.
‘How many of these are there?’
The only living things I have encountered so far are countless monsters.
They are generally born with high ranks, and their momentum is quite fierce due to the compensation of the back side.

The low-ranking monsters were boiling like bugs, but there were also high-ranking monsters that fought and fought among themselves, dividing the territory.
You could even encounter a rare 4th-ranking monster.
‘Of course, this must be detonated from the inside.’
It felt like a jar full of poisonous bugs, but there was one space similar to this.
The Demon Realm.
A piece of land that humans had lost. The owners of that land were not humans, but countless monsters.
This is by no means an exaggeration.
We’ve already seen the disaster that the other side can cause in the original. It seems less than that now, but the danger is still there.
I recognized the danger. The danger is great, but I can still stop it.
I’m in a position where I can reach out, and I have the strength to reach out.
If I get scared and back down here, I won’t be able to be confident in myself in the future.
I can’t be proud that I’m worthy of being loved.
- Jjiing
“?”
Suddenly, a sound resonated inside me. It was the sound of uniqueness resonating within me.
‘What? A beauty with all sides? Did you have some kind of enlightenment-like thought?’
A faint smile formed in the midst of the difficult hardship. Whatever it was, the change in uniqueness was welcome.
The change in the beauty with all sides, whose training method was ambiguous, was especially.
I wanted to deeply contemplate the signs, but the location was not good, so I postponed any in-depth consideration.
‘I’m slowly catching up.’
The traces of the person who had been following me. The worn traces were becoming more vivid as time passed.
I was getting closer to the owner of the traces.
.
.
.
If I counted in my head, it had been about three more days.
I had passed dozens of cities, and had crossed various terrains with the same colors.
‘In this space, monsters are packed in and entangled like loneliness... ‘It seems like there’s a real 3rd tier.’
I’m not running to estimate the location of the nuke, but I’m walking at a fairly fast pace.
However, the terrain spreads out endlessly, and I’m overwhelmed by the size of the backside.
‘Did it settle down on the backside in years?’
In the meantime, I felt several doubts as I calmly followed the traces.
The old traces that were difficult to distinguish even by observation were awkward and dangerous.
The gait was unsteady and the strides were messy, and the traces were clearly visible.
As time passed, it gradually improved.
The traces of numerous battles were woven together, and the traces became faint. It seemed as if they had tracking in mind, and they started to reduce the traces.
Anyway, I arrived at the first destination on the vast backside.
A ruined city.
It’s not much different from the cities I’ve passed by so far, but there are traces of humans.
It’s not blatant. With my skilled experience and skills, I erased the traces.
However, observation can only dig up everything.
First, I headed to the few high-rise buildings in the city where the traces were the thickest and most numerous.
The top had been hit by something and had blown away, so I kicked the wall up to the upper floors near the top.
- Chin
I stamped my foot on the seemingly concrete floor.
My footprints were managed so they didn’t remain, but right next to me, there were ‘footprints taken a few hours ago.’
‘It seems the tension is somewhat relaxed in the living space.’
Of course, I hid even that well. This must be because the power of observation is too good.
I wiped my dry lips and looked around.
The walls were all torn down, leaving the floors wide open, and the floor was cleaner than I thought. There were various leather hems scattered here and there.
It was monster leather.
‘Are they processing it and using it? ‘Not very good.’
I picked up a piece of leather and rubbed it. It was rough, but it seemed like a lot of work had been put into it.
Even so, it was full of the sloppiness of an unskilled person.
I threw the leather I had been using on the floor and turned around.
There was still a trace of a fire on one side of the floor. Around it, leather that had been processed with some effort was piled up like a sleeping bag.
‘Huh?’
While analyzing it while considering the cost-effectiveness, I tilted my head at the data I felt from one piece of leather.
A piece of leather that had fallen apart. I picked it up and analyzed it more closely.
‘Secretions.’
The results of the analysis showed that the foreign substance on the leather was secretions. It seemed like leather that had been used for clothing.
‘I’ll analyze it and store it as data, and I can track it down later.’
Whatever it is, it’s data. If I lose it in a fight, I can track it more easily based on this.
That was when I nodded.
“This copycat monster is now looking at people’s underwear and making a fuss.”
A voice came from behind me. It was the presence of a being that had been waiting for me to come up on purpose.
- Kkwarung!
A short sound shook the air as if a silencer had been attached to a gun.
Boom! A cold fist pierced the spot where my head had just been.
“Huh? I dodged...”
I turned around at the same time as I dodged.
The woman who had punched me from behind twisted her lips when she saw my mask.
“What the hell, what did you copy again?”
Her face was wrinkled, covered in charcoal and dust, and had a slight scar.
Her blue hair that had grown below her shoulders was tangled and unmanaged.
She was wearing clothes made of leather that had been lying around, roughly tangled together.
What a wild man's behavior.
But thanks to the basic beauty, it stands out more as wild than dirty. Superhumans are usually pretty, so it wasn't strange.
If I had to find something surprising, it would be that the space where the right arm should be was empty.
Of course, that wasn't surprising because I predicted it through the pressure of the footsteps.
After a short moment of recognizing each other, the woman twisted her waist.
Crackle! The sound of the compression being released wasn't hard to figure out.
The electric current wrapped around her legs and crackled.
Her feet shot up sharply. The tips of her feet cut through the air like blades, and she was helplessly cut off on the ground a little way away.
I took a few steps back and narrowed my eyes.
The commonly known characteristics of the brain attribute are destructive power and speed. Because of this, the trajectory tends to be simple, but it's strong and fast enough to offset that.
'It's a bit fast?'
Even considering that, it's incredibly fast.
Zazzak! The electricity that had been lingering on her legs spread to her entire body.
Lightning flashed in an instant, and the already short distance disappeared.
The fists and legs wrapped in electricity poured down like rain in an instant.
It was really fast. I also raised both arms. The blood cloud that had been compressed under her clothes was released.
I responded to the attack with my arms and legs wrapped in blood cloud.
‘What is this?’
Through observation, I had already roughly guessed the woman’s magical nature and unique abilities.
From then on, I was curious and waited for her to approach me on purpose.
When I checked it out myself, it was stranger than I expected.
I expected it to be fast, but it was much faster.
I kicked away the fist that was reaching out in a straight line with the back of my hand.
Zzzzz! At that moment, my arm tingled with the electricity that spread through the blood cloud.
‘You’re coming through my luck?’
In the brief moment of stiffness, the woman attacks me one after another.
I respond to her and dodge.
It’s a bit difficult.
Her movements are too fast. I’m able to dodge and respond in advance because the trajectory is obvious, but...
Bang! The blood cloud and electricity that met in the middle fluttered.
The woman who stepped back to avoid the blood cloud that poured out like thorns frowned.
“Why is this kid so strong?”
The woman who kept mumbling to herself had a massive amount of magical power pouring out from her core.
The current surged greatly from her body where magical power had circulated. It was almost time to wrap her up.
“Just throw her away.”
Snap! The woman snapped her fingers and lightning formed in the air.
Lightning also formed on my two arms that had received the attacks one after another.
‘Target designation.’
I knew of a similar unique ability, so I figured out the function before analyzing it.
‘Expansion ability.’
In an instant, the woman’s uniqueness swelled, and lightning struck between me and the woman.
- Kwarrurung!
The dull world flashed for a moment. After a while, a loud thunder shook the ground.
It didn’t end there. The magical power that had been secretly accumulating in the sky also turned into lightning and struck the target.
The dark sky flashed dozens of times.
The upper floors of the high-rise buildings that had been hit by lightning were blown away.
The large and small fragments that had not yet been destroyed rained down all over the city.
The woman, who had landed on the ground in the middle of it, looked up at the destroyed residence and furrowed her brow as if she had chewed shit.
“Damn it... I have the clothes and underwear I worked so hard to make.”
[Can you tell the difference between underwear and clothes?]
“Then it won’t work? Facially disabled...?”
The woman who had been mumbling absentmindedly suddenly widened the distance between us like lightning.
“Are you alive? No, there’s no wound, you crazy bastard.”
I shook off the electricity that was stuck to my body.
The attack just now was withstood by wrapping my body in a greatly inflated blood cloud.
‘Why is the output like that?’
It was close. I could have been fried to a crisp with the blood cloud. If I hadn’t caused a vortex and responded, it really would have happened.
That woman’s magic... The output of her unique ability is strange.
Blood cloud is hard, tough, and resistant enough to replace strong energy.
She ignored that and applied the electric shock to me.
Of course, is it to the extent that it’s incomprehensible by common sense? Not to that extent.
However, the heterogeneity of the output and effect is clearly felt. I've experienced this heterogeneity often.
Unlimited potential. Different output from other unique abilities from the very beginning...
[...um]
"Ah, damn it, my house... my clothes and underwear... how did you make that."
While feeling the strange sensation, I tilted my head at the woman's mumbling while messing up her hair.
[House? You didn't make that. And the clothes and underwear, they all look the same─]
"Shut up, what do you know about monsters! By the way, is it an Alpha? Or is it a completely different entity? Whatever, why is this thing coming to my house, damn it."
The woman kept mumbling to herself like a crazy woman. When I listened to her, she seemed to have mistaken me for a monster.
Certainly, it would make sense for a monster with that copying ability.
Even considering that, she still didn't seem to be in her right mind. I shook my head and raised my arm.
[혼자 주절거리는 게 미친년이 따로 없네요]
“하, 속옷 도둑 몬스터 새끼가 누굴 보고 미친년이라는 거야?”
이죽거린 여자가 냅다 달려들었다. 꽈르릉! 이젠 소음을 줄일 생각도 없는지 요란한 가속.
상이 늘어질 지경으로 주먹이 날아든다.
여자는 무지막지하게 빠르고 강하다.
기량도 나쁘지 않다. 직선적이고 읽기 쉬운 뇌속성이지만, 여자는 길쭉한 팔다리를 역동적으로 놀리며 변화를 주고 있다.
흡사 본능에 따른 짐승 같은 움직임.
거기에 이상하리만치 강력한 뇌전과 가속이 섞이면, 찰나의 순간 급소에 공격이 우수수 꽂히는 것도 무리가 아니다.
- 탁
“...!”
하지만 단점도 나름 명확하다.
손바닥을 내밀어 주먹을 받아냈다.
크게 일어난 전류가 덮치려 들지만, 손바닥 사이에서 터트린 와류에 휘감아 흘려낸다.
The woman opens her eyes wide and stretches her legs. She escapes the sphere of influence by a hair's breadth, and then attacks from my side.
A clear opening. She kicks away the attack and defense, and punches the empty head.
- Boom!
"Huh...!?"
The strong energy that rose greatly reduces the impact. However, her posture was shaken, and I had no intention of letting go of the opening.
The woman starts to be pushed back helplessly as she persistently attacks the opening.
Accelerated body and strength. She can easily keep up in this state.
The brain is powerful, but it cannot generate enough power to immediately remove the blood cloud.
Wild and dynamic movements.
There are some excellent parts, but it did not improve from the basics.
On top of that, since the attack itself is a skill based on monsters, there are many openings when dealing with a human-sized body and intellect.
This is why a superhuman specializing in monster warfare usually doesn't fight a superhuman specializing in human warfare one-on-one.
Above all, since one arm is empty, there is bound to be that much of a gap.
'... Hmm?'
That was it.
At some point, a small sense of discomfort was felt in the woman's movements.
Legs that were firmly planted on the ground, but prepared to change their center of gravity and posture at any time.
Waist that was adjusted to freely move the strength between the upper and lower body.
Although she was bare-handed, she used all the parts of her body that could attack, such as her fingers, the back of her hand, her elbows, and her shoulders, in the right places.
In other words, it was a posture to respond in any situation.
'Huh...?'
It's an ideal fighting method in words, but at the same time, it's a familiar fighting technique.
There are many clumsy parts, and she fills them in with intuition and wild movements.
However, if you observe closely, the basic posture comes into your head.
That's...
‘The basics that the teacher taught me─’
The moment I thought that far.
I reflexively kicked away the woman’s attack, and the fist that came out slammed into her exposed abdomen with a vortex.
- Kwaang!
“Wow...!”
The woman let out a gasp and her waist folded. Kugung! Soon, the vortex wrapped around her forearm began to pulse.
I was startled and twisted the vortex. Just before being swept away by the vortex, the woman bounced roughly and bounced on the floor like a water spout.
Boom! Soon, she crashed into the wall and stopped, the woman sagging.
“... ... ”
I blinked as I observed the pieces of the wall pouring down and the woman who was crashing into the wall.
Something, something is strange...?
