Chapter 41 - Why is it orange?

As he walked towards the supposed entrance he noticed several...

Well, differences, so to say, about this place.

First of all, instead of typical students at least half of the people here wore some strange attire.

Some wore robes, those that mages usually wore in stupud fantasy novels and all that.

Some wore armor, which was... 

"Fucking ugly."

As Norn thought. 

It wasn't without basis, as it really looked like it was made by a novice armorer who didn't even know how it supposed to look.

Let me give you an advice: if you ever become an armorer - dont you dare make ugly armor.

It's unpractical, it's horrible and last but not the least - it's fucking stupid.

You're supposed to look glorious at the moment of your death, what if you die wearing an ugly piece of shit!?

What will people think!?

No, what you will think when, or if, it happens!?

Dont you want to be at your highest when you finally escape this cruel circle of life!?

No!? Fuck you then! 

As for Norn - his thoughts were really close to mine.

He despised all who wore ugly armor.

It doesn't matter how good it was, if it was ugly - it was shit.

Well, anyway...

As he walked, he already thougth of a plan in case something happened.

For example...

"What if they ask me what the fuck am i actually doing here?"

But it didn't happen.

People didn't care that he was there, as if it was normal.

Well, it kinda was? 

U're not supposed to know every single person from your university, but...

Isn't it strange that none of them actually cared about it? 

Really, it's not.

Whatever then. 

What's more important that than was the fact that Norn actually became smarter! 

He understood that this place wasn't just your normal university.

At first, it did indeed look like one, but later on?

"It has to be some sort of "Super Hunter University 3000" or whatever..."

And he was actually right this time! 

Unlike, like, half of his previous guesses?

Well, sooner or later he would've hit it anyway...

Whatever, let's just continue.

As he walked, he noticed several really strong [Weak] people.

In his opinion, obviously.

He could see some traces of "power" now.

Mana, to be exact.

More mana - more strength, easy as that.

Following that genius method of analyzing Norn was able to spot several strong [Weak] people.

If not for the fact that he himself had a somewhat high amount of mana he would've been kicked out by these people already.

Why? Well, obviously, if you stare at someone - they will probably stare back.

Norn wasn't unnoticed, it's just that people thought that a guy of his... caliber, so to say, was here for business.

What business exactly? Not their... business, haha, it's the 3rd time i'm saying that word... [Moron]

All they had to do was maintaining discipline outside of the classes.

Who went in or out was not a part of their job, so they didn't care... Mostly.

If some random hobo walked in - of course they would act, people like them just loved preying on the weak.

Sadly, in their eyes Norn was far from weak.

It was obviously not true, as he barely knew like 3 spells or so? 

He wasn't even a proper mage, but due to sheer about of stats he had - he looked somewhat strong in their eyes.

And, where do strong people belong? 

To some strong fucking organizations or guils.

It's better for them not to fuck with people like Norn...

Oh, if only they knew, if only they knew... Hahaha... [Stop]

...

Some time later Norn finally arrived before a... fucking door.

The dungeon was right infront of him, but he couldn't even approach it! 

He found the place, but it was closed off, it even had security guarding it!

What a fucking joke! 

"The fuck is this dungeon anyway?"

Norn didn't understand what the fuck was going on.

He got a "mission" to get to the dungeon becasue it was his turn, but what's that!?

It's a guarded place that he has to sneak into!?

What fucking bullshit was that!?

He didn't know, i dont know either.

Anyway, Norn wasn't a pussy now.

He knew that he was strong, and what is there to be afraid of if u're surrounded by like 10 ants?

Nothing, really.

You can just squash them...

Norn couldn't really do that, but he thought that if his life was in danger the doll will probably help.

She did help him before, so why wont she help now?

As the approached the guard he said the stupidest thing he could think of...

"Let me in, mortal."

He said it with a straight face.

Fucking moron, holy hell.

He read too much cultivation novels, that's for certain.

"Excuse me?..."

The guard was somewhat lost as he heard it, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Present your pass and student ID"

He said as he looked at Norn.

He didn't look that young, but the guard thougth that he was a student.

"I'm not of this plane. Let me it or feel my wrath you damned pest!"

Norn didn't drop his facade as he continued to talk as an absolute retard.

It was kinda cool tho, i wouldn't have enough gall to do that in public.

"Uh... Sir, if u're not a student - what exactly are you doing here?.."

The guard was now lost. He didn't even know how to react to such a person.

He wasn't smart in the first place, why else would he work as a guard then?

For fun or something? Nah, most guards worked as ones becasue they were morons.

Of course, not all of them, but most just couldn't find anything better than that with their awful skills.

This guard, however, wasn't all that unskilled, he actually had a high school diploma! 

But... That's it. 

He recently awakened, and he decided to take on a job he's been doing for the past 3 years...

Yeah, a waste of a human being, he didn't even try to prove himself!

"I dont care, i need to enter the gate behind this door... mortal."

Norn almost forgot to add the right word! 

Thankfully, he remembered almost in time, making it only somewhat awkward.

"Sir... I'm afraid you cant enter it, it's..."

"I dont fucking care, let me in or i'll just destroy this whole place!"

Norn screamed on top of his lungs, not even letting the guard finish his sentence!

Doing that, he attracted some attention from people passing by...

What's worse - he attracted attention of other guards!

But so what!? Norn was strong enough to hold his ground against this whole university!

That's not even a joke! His stats were simply insane for this time!

Mind you, it's only been a month and a half since towers appeared! 

More than that, he was actually the holder #6 highest [Intelligence] stat in the whole world! 

Not for long, though...

As in the future he will be unrivaled on the #1 place!

Well, it's not like he'll behave... smarter or whatever, but a stat is a stat...

"Excuse me, sir, why do you want to enter that gate? It's a measly [F] rank dungeon, i'm afraid it wont be of any use to you..."

As he was fuming near the guard, he heard a voice from afar.

When he looked in the direction the voice came from...

He saw a MILF! 

A real, living and breathing MILF!

She was beatiful!

"How the fuck am i meeting so many nice girls all of a sudden!?"

He couldn't believe it himself! 

But, he wasn't old Norn anymore, he wouldn't be swayed by such a person! 

"Because i want to, clear enough?"

He didn't bother explaining anything and still behaved arrogantly! 

He was such a person!.. For now...

"Sir, i'm sure you can just ask your guild to find a better gate for you, why bother our small university?.."

She asked with an apologetic face...

Why was it apologetic? Only god knows.

It seemed that she tried to pleas Norn...

Maybe she saw that he wasn't actually a random hobo or something?

Could be that, yeah...

If not - was she in love with him or something? Sounds like bullshit...

Whatever it was - she took a lower position voluntarily! 

"My guild? So that's how u're going to play huh..."

He didn't say it out loud, obviously.

Norn understood that she asked about his guild not because she was a kind person, but to know who the fuck he was! 

It was a common method he read about in novels! 

He wont fall for such a stupid trap! 

Wait, that's kinda strange, why is his?..

Oh, right, his [Intelligence] stat is now kinda high, so he remembers quite a lot of stuff he previously didn't...

But why would it be novels he read all of a sudden?

Why is it not his school days or whatever?..

Maybe it would've made him smarter... Eh...

"My guild has nothing to do with people like you. Either let me enter the gate or we will simply destroy this whole place."

"Also, do you think you're strong enough to defend against 13 [A] rankers? Try me if you want to test it."

He was just spouting bullshit at this point.

What 13 [A] rankers? I doubt he knows 13 people! 

Sadly, that retarded method of his is working...

As he said it, expressions of people around him suddenly changed!

As if they were afraid! 

Not just "as if", Norn could clearly feel bits of fear from them! 

"It worked!"

He was ecstatic!

However, he didn't show it on his face, he wasn't that stupid.

"So, what are you going to choose?"

"Just to clarify... the moment you say the wrong thing - you will die."

He said as he smiled viciously.

It wasn't exactly a lie, as he would launch a [Magic Arrow] at every person here if that were to happen.

How? Well, he had enough skill to do that...

But he didn't practice at all you say?

Does he need to? He has 54 points in [Intelligence], he basically as smart a nobel prize winner...

Of course, most of that "smart" was just logical thinkng and ability to learn, but it was still a big deal.

As for the spell that he can suddenly cast at more than 10 people simultaneously?..

It's pretty easy as it's a basic spell.

But surely, it wont do any significant damage to them.

It's not like it was hard, if he knew any LV2 spells he could've launched them aswell...

Sadly, however, he only knew [Magic Arrow].

It's the only spell Erika had time to teach him...

"Okay, sir..."

"Open the gate!"

Her expression was just bad.

She couldn't believe that her dream job was full of shit! 

It was her first week, and her university was already attacked by a fucking group of terrorists! 

What bullshit was that!?

Oh, if only she knew...

...

The gate slowly opened...

Norn, who was still holding his head high, slowly entered it.

Before him was a giant orange vortex.

"Why the fuck is it orange?.."

He couldn't understa... 

Wait, is this the thing that's bothering him?..

Not the fact that it's closed off for some reason, not the fact that he could register for a fucking dungeon, but this!?

It's fucking colour!?

I swear to [Me], Norn is a fucking idiot!

Anyway, as he looked at the gate the MILF approached him...

"Sir, you must know that i will report this incident to the government..."

She said with a somewhat proud face, as if provoking him.

"Higher-ups already know that i'm here, why bother?"

Norn looked at the MILF with a "So what?" face.

He didn't even bother thinking of a better response.

This one was enough to scare her off.

Even if it didn't work... so fucking what?

If he realy wanted to - he could've fought his way in.

Yeah, he only knew one attack spell, and it was just a basic one... So what?

His mana pool was actually enormous, his [Magic] stat was strong enough to destroy half of this university!..

If he actually knew a proper spell to do that...

"Sir..."

The MILF said with a weak expression on her face.

It seems that she understood something...

Sadly, it couldn't possibly be the right thing.

If it was, she sould've tried to kill Norn already, but she just stood there, looking at him...

"Silence, i need to think."

He pretended to think, to not arouse any more suspicion.

Norn wasn't that stupid now, he knew that he shouldn't talk too much.

Sooner or later he'll step on a mine and expose himself.

Why bother then? Just pretend that u're a silent type.

He did just that.

If not for the fact that he had a strong aura around him people wouldn't just listen to his bullshit.

But since he did... 

They had no choice but to! 

[Dont lose your place in the queue!]

[You have 01:01:57 to enter the dungeon...] 

"Sure, you piece of shit."

He didn't wait any longer and entered the orange dungeon...

But for real, why the fuck is it orange!?
