Chapter 67
Fire –
Catherine used magic to summon fire.
It was still dark, but some discernment was possible.
“What happened?”
“What is this all of a sudden… I’m scared.”
Hercy closed her eyes and let out some air. Hersy opened his eyes after looking at the internal structure.
“I was devastated.”
“…!”
Hersi unconsciously covered his mouth from saying something vulgar.
“Failed?”
When Catherine asked, Hercy looked at Irina and said.
“The first to third floors are full of monsters.”
Catherine narrowed her eyes.
Irina is a second year student and princess.
Of course, you should report the situation to her first, but didn’t you ask yourself first?
I didn’t like it.
“People?”
“…I can’t see it.”
“That’s a good thing… but it’s a big deal. Should I jump out the window first?”
Hercy shook his head.
“The entire building is surrounded by a black membrane. “I don’t know what will happen if it touches me.”
“Hmm… What’s happening all of a sudden?”
“We have to consider the possibility that this space itself has been moved to another dimension.”
“Is it just a way to get out first?”
“yes.”
When we were calmly discussing the situation, Hannah said with a scared look on her face.
“It’s not right for me to go out.”
“what?”
Hersy asked back in a very small voice.
“Well, if you wait here, the professors will definitely come to rescue you… Besides, the president is in the room right next door.”
“…The president is away due to going out. “Maybe not today.”
Justin said with a serious face. Hannah sat down and covered her ears.
“You can’t go out. I have a bad feeling. “Let’s stay here, okay?”
“But…”
“Yes, Justin. In times like this, it’s better to stay still. “Did you forget the manual?”
In the academy’s manual, it was stated that if a dangerous situation arises, ‘wait until the professor comes.’
When I brought up the school rules, Justin kept his mouth shut. But he didn’t seem to like it.
“Did you hear? “It was decided to wait here.”
“…Who gets to decide what they want?”
Hercy was absurd.
Soon he turned his back, as if he didn’t even want to talk to him.
“We will move separately.”
“Now, just a moment! “It’s natural for us to move together, right?”
A commoner blocked the door.
“Yes, that’s right. It would be dangerous to just go out. “Let’s all wait here.”
Commoners also had eyes.
Second princess Irina.
4th Prince Damon.
Hersy, the eldest daughter of the Marquis Minerva.
In the world of wizards, where talent comes first, lineage proves skill.
It was truly an enormous amount of power. Aren’t there three experts?
“…I usually break the rules like that, but at times like this, I find the rules again.”
Hersy said as if it were absurd.
It was then.
“How dare you block my path? “Ruthless bastard!”
Pow!
Damon blasts the commoner in his way!
Then he opened the door and went out as if nothing had happened.
“It’s a little harsh.”
Irina smiled brightly and walked away.
Hercy looked at Damon in bewilderment and then followed him.
Right after they left.
The commoners were dumbfounded.
“Quick, close the door quickly.”
Hannah quickly closed the door.
‘Is it really right to stay still?’
Justin wanted to follow in their footsteps. I felt frustrated, as if my chest was clogged.
**
Step, step, step—
The three of us walked down a completely dark hallway.
“Hey… Hercy?”
“yes.”
“Could you please turn on the light? “I really can’t see anything.”
“…Well, my attribute is wind.”
Of course, if you wanted to use fire, you could use it, but unless it was a specialized field, it consumed a lot of magical power.
I didn’t know how long it would take to escape, but I couldn’t waste my magic power carelessly.
[Shall I write it for you??]
Miho, who had been quiet, whispered on Hercy’s shoulder.
‘no. Then people will know your abilities.’
A familiar was like a foundation for a wizard.
He couldn’t carelessly show the power of Ruid’s familiar, which wasn’t even his own familiar.
“Hmm. What should I do? “It will be difficult to find the way at this rate.”
“You’re worrying about something trivial.”
Grumble-
“…!”
Four fireballs rose in the air. The surroundings became brighter with warm colors.
“Wow, is Damon’s magic power okay?”
“My ocean-like magical power does not diminish one bit to this extent.”
Damon said cynically with his hands in his pockets.
“…Now that I think about it, what are Damon’s attributes?”
“It is greatness.”
‘Let’s not talk…’
Hercy slumped his shoulders.
“It smells unpleasant.”
It was around the corner.
Hersi tensed and raised his staff.
He held the formula with the hand holding the staff, and the staff transformed into a silver bow.
“Careful. When I looked around, it was full of monsters starting from here.”
“I will take the lead.”
Sreung, Irina drew her sword and stepped forward.
‘One knight, one Litton, one Pure. On the surface, it’s a perfect combination… but can I control it?’
There are several types of wizards: Litton and Pure.
Pure if you fight with pure magic.
Like Hercy, if you mix several abilities such as bow, scout, and order, you get Liton.
“Krrr-”
“What is that?”
The monster was in human form. He came limping towards me with his arms grotesquely bent.
Hercy frowned. This is a type of monster I have never seen before.
“Uh… you look very weak.”
-Slap!
Irina faked to the right and lifted it up, cutting off his head cleanly.
“¡Acelerar ¡Aceleren!”
Several green arrows pierced from Hersi’s bow.
About 10 monsters were destroyed in an instant.
“hmm. “It’s full of kids like this?”
“yes.”
“I expected it. “The difficulty level of the event is too low.”
Irina looked disappointed.
Damon said, crossing his arms.
“Don’t be cocky and look at that.”
“huh?”
Grumble-
“!”
The monster’s body moved.
It makes a very unpleasant sound and clacks.
In particular, the monster that Irina decapitated at first picked up the head and put it on.
“Gwaeeeeek!”
“Well, is there anything like that?”
“Move over, Hercy.”
Ugh-!
Damon took out the spear hanging behind him and assumed a javelin stance. The air vibrated as the powerful magic power of the red air gathered.
Squirt-!
The monsters were shattered with a sound that was hard to believe that a spear of such great weight had been thrown.
Quang!
The building was destroyed in half as it crashed into the wall. Damon looked at his hands with an expression of great satisfaction.
“It tastes good.”
“…Was Damon a spearman?”
Damon stretched his hand into the air. The spear flew at high speed. Damon easily snatched the spear.
“This is why you distributed the treasure.”
Damon looked down at the tattered monster with an expression of insignificance.
The monster came out with white smoke and turned into ashes.
‘The amount of magical power is different… I guess I can’t ignore the imperial blood.’
His bow could only pierce it. However, Damon erased his very existence.
But that was Hersy’s mistake.
“I’ve heard of it. A dark monster that never dies even if it dies. “They say they are undead.”
“Undead?”
“It is a fake monster created with the magic power of a warlock.”
Damon spoke from the conclusion.
“This monster cannot be killed without a specific weapon.”
“…Is that possible? “Living things don’t die.”
“Because it’s not a living thing. “Luid must have already known this would happen.”
Damon raised the corners of his mouth as if he was being rude.
“Otherwise, there would be no way they would have scattered weapons that were worth the price of a castle, one by one. “I thought it was strange, but I guess I only read it dozens of times in advance.”
“Oh oh. “So this is all an event prepared by Amelia’s brother?”
Irina smiled brightly.
“Then something more interesting will happen!”
“There’s no way Ruid was related to a warlock…”
Hercy thought briefly.
Damon may be a half-mad man, but his insight and abilities are real.
“What does Ruid want from us?”
“That’s obvious.”
Damon leaned against the wall with an arrogant expression.
“I guess they’re telling us to solve this case. Huh, what a laughable guy. “If it were a test, the difficulty level would be too easy.”
“Then Ruid…”
“He’s probably caught the dirty warlock who caused this situation by now. However, we probably didn’t disarm the spell on purpose to see our skills-”
Hercy swallowed her saliva.
‘Luid has a plan.’
At first, I thought Ruid just threw it because he didn’t want to go to class.
But it was all a calculated move.
To tell Damon to kick Justin’s ass and start a fight… and to tell Irina to stop the fight.
‘We thought about safety by bringing key personnel to the center of the incident and moving the rest to the outside. As a side note, I also did a skills test.’
That was the conclusion.
Hercy stiffened.
‘…Then me.’
Hersi was instructed to take a walk. There was nothing else. It was different from Damon and Irina.
That’s…
‘Does he consider me… untrustworthy?’
Hersy became sullen.
Damon chuckled as he looked at Hersy.
“Now I realize it. What a foolish thing. But don’t be mistaken. “That’s not all.”
“…yes?”
“Kick the lowlife’s ass, does that really mean kicking their ass?”
Hercy blinked.
“You got your ass kicked.”
Damon said as if it were pathetic. Do you not understand this grand meaning? I honestly didn’t understand.
“I did that because I was bored. From the beginning, I thought that wasn’t all-”
Hercy’s eyes widened.
“Well, that means. “Are you saying there is a hidden meaning?”
Damon nodded.
“of course.”
“…!”
‘Then… Is there some hidden meaning behind going for a walk with Miho?’
Hercy brightened again. It seems like there is a possibility that his role will become something more remarkable.
“To put it simply, it’s like this.”
Damon took out his wand and drew on the wall. Golden magical power drew a line.
Hersi looked at it with great concentration. Letters appeared. Damon wrote:
-I am great.
‘??’
Hercy looked at Damon with an absurd expression.
“Do you understand?”
“…yes.”
Hersi, who was curious about what happened next, had no choice but to answer.
Satisfied, Damon said as he put the wand back into his arms.
“Final exams are coming soon. But with Ruid’s personality, would you create something like a test question?”
Hercy shook his head quickly.
“Absolutely not.”
“In other words, we are now taking a test. “If you find the ‘true meaning’ of each order and complete it, you will pass.”
Hersy thought it made sense, but there was one problem.
“But… then the fairness of the test. There are different levels of difficulty. It would be difficult to give a score.”
“So before taking this test, Ruid created a wonderful system of rewards and penalties.”
Currently, Damon’s penalty points are 39 points.
The penalty point was reduced to 29 because Ruid gave him a store, but he recently broke a commoner’s staff, so 10 points were added.
“As you know, the reward and penalty point system was created out of concern that this body would be expelled.”
“yes.”
Hersy narrowed his eyes as he answered out of habit.
“yes??”
Ruid created a reward/punishment system because of Damon?
I tried to argue, but I lost the timing.
“It’s the same this time too. “This stage is just for me – it’s an excuse to give me a store.”
Damon shrugged.
“He’s a shy guy. “Just give it to me.”
‘I don’t think so at all??’
It seemed plausible at first, but the more I listened to it, the more strange it became. Hercy asked, feeling strange.
“…So what does kicking ass mean?”
“Didn’t you even notice that? The weapon I am holding is a legendary spear manufactured in the ‘Kingdom of Ludemaliak’ 500 years ago. It was the most valuable item among them. “Luid must have known that I would choose this.”
Irina took out the item she had chosen from her pocket. It was a blue handkerchief with cute decorations on it. I chose it because it was cute during the last cooking class.
It says this on the corner:
-Luid’s.
‘…What does it mean?’
Irina was seriously worried. Damon continued speaking.
“In the Kingdom of Rudemaliak, kicking someone’s ass means picking on someone or saying ‘fuck you.’”
Grinning, Damon smiled.
“And that Justin is the leader of the commoners. In short, fuck the commoners. This is the intention. “Hmph, by the way, the Kingdom of Rudemaliak disappeared 500 years ago, and they really made it impossible for anyone but me to solve it.”
Hercy’s eyes widened.
“Well, then, because Ruid didn’t anticipate what happened this time, he predicted what items the students would choose, gave each one a meaning, and handed out notes?”
“Genius is difficult for ordinary people to understand. We act by looking into the future hundreds of times ahead. If you want to stand by Ruid’s side, pay close attention to his every word and action.”
That was correct.
Hercy bit her lip.
‘Is there a hidden meaning behind ‘Walk with Miho’? ‘I can’t even imagine it in my head.’
It was difficult to stand next to a genius.
However, Hercy was not the type to give up just because it was difficult.
‘I will definitely pass this test safely.’
Hersy’s passion burned brightly.
First, I picked up the cane that was stuck behind my waist. I had to figure out what this cane was.
