Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 104
Adela’s story, is it related to me?
If so, can I listen?
Maybe the current little comfort will bring anger.
Wouldn’t it be something to deceive Adela and make her angry?
Still, I wanted to know.
No, I had to know.
“When I was young, I didn’t even know how to use magic.”
“yes.”
“The village where I grew up is buried.”
It was the first time I heard it, so I opened my eyes wide. Adela’s past, which did not appear anywhere in the sledgehammer.
Adela continued to speak.
“Whole. All. leaving nothing behind.”
Adela’s voice was too calm. It’s as if you’re just calmly reminiscing about the past.
I instinctively turned my head to the voice.
Adela’s face was not calm.
The two eyes that were looking at me were clearly shaking.
“I told you there was a warlock hiding in our village.”
“… .”
“No, they said the whole town was cursed.”
Stories that are too heavy for me to bear.
“Actually, it wasn’t. They would have known that it wasn’t.”
“No one listened. Because I needed someone to turn into an enemy.”
“We didn’t have the strength to deny it.”
Adela hates black magic. The innocents died because they were driven by warlocks.
But, what Adela hates the most.
Were they not witch-hunting the village?
A man’s face appeared and he closed his eyes tightly.
Now it feels like all the puzzles have been put together.
Why was there no mention of Adela’s family?
Why did he focus on training at the academy all summer vacation, like a person with no place to return to?
Why did I always have to be in such a hurry?
“The villagers who are innocent… For no reason, it just disappeared overnight.”
The reason why I had no choice but to become the cruel captain of Seulka Demi.
As if to blame, Adela muttered in a bitter voice.
“I survived alone.”
* * *
“It must be crazy.”
Cassan groaned and clenched her teeth.
He was in the middle of a thick forest, where it was difficult to take even a single step.
If it was normal, I would have stretched out and relaxed in a place where food and water were provided.
“Why am I doing this crazy thing?”
Chaeeng-.
With anger, Kassan slashed the weeds that stood in her way with her sword.
Han Si-ha had an accident.
correct it he had an accident
It is also a very big accident.
‘Do you bury it? Isn’t it because you want to be buried?’
‘I heard that there was a magician of the earth in the second year. They’re not so weak that they can’t even last a week, so if you get caught, he’ll bury you.”
At Rebeni’s sharp words, Cassan had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
You look like you’re getting involved in something you’ve been doing emotionally, are you really going to stay still?
It was such a look.
What he said wasn’t wrong.
Before the academy finds out about this, it’s right for you to turn things around.
And in case you don’t know
“It may not be, but… If you don’t survive.”
Just gave me a bottle of water and sent it.
Cassan sighed with annoyed expression on her face.
“Are you a bastard, really? Those bastards will know how to do it.”
It was true that I was pushed out, but I thought I had to get out.
If anything happens, it’s all my responsibility. It had nothing to do with heaven in particular.
No matter how much of a character he had, there was no way he could have had that level of malice toward his academy juniors.
It’s easy to think I’d like to get that bastard out of my sight.
It took quite a leap of logic to get to wanting to kill that bastard.
Cassan hurried her steps with a heavy bag.
mana operation.
Cassan blows a minute force into the wind.
If Adela can detect terrain, Cassan can detect magic.
Even without the location tracking stone, it plays the role of the stone itself.
wii ing.
Blue magic circled around him.
“Eww, fuck it.”
found.
But it was cumbersome.
“What do you say to these bastards?”
It was an accident he had caused, so he had to rectify it, but considering the reactions of the guys, he couldn’t help it.
* * *
poop poop.
It was pouring rain.
Surprisingly, the outskirts of Ardel had a tropical climate on the left and a desert climate on the right.
There were frequent squalls here, so unpredictable showers were the norm.
It was good to get to the cave.
An hour later, as the sky cleared up, Adela and Won set out to hunt.
It has now become somewhat of a division of labor.
Basil is in charge of keeping the fire, and Natalie and Closti are in charge of the water supply.
Adela and Won are in charge of hunting.
And Seymour.
“What are you doing? play?”
Are you in charge of arguing, you bastard?
“I’m making skewers of fish for your throat.”
“… I will eat well.”
It was definitely strong and weak.
After staring fiercely, Seymour returned to a sullen state.
I’m a little sorry for Seymour, but he hated me the least when he wasn’t flirting.
After coming to the Department of Magic, it was quiet for a while, but now it seemed to be worth living.
“Turn on the fire.”
thump thump.
Seymour fanned and lit the fire with Basil.
Of course, Basil, who was unaware, breathed into it.
“There was no need for you to raise them.”
Oh, he was longing for it.
“Coo?”
Seymour was doing all the chores, even though he was talking rudely.
Meanwhile, I got up from my seat and headed towards the cave.
Adela told him not to worry, but he couldn’t just let it go.
My mind was complicated.
Maybe it’s because of what Adela said to me yesterday, or maybe it’s because of the situation we’re in right now.
Adela talked about me yesterday and was just looking for something to do as if nothing had happened.
I also treated Adela without any expression.
Ha, it’s not something that can be solved right away, so let’s work on it.
I looked into the distance and muttered.
“I wish I could find something that could be a signal.”
It’s like the SOS rescue signal you see in movies.
I’m here, save me! That’s it.
“Coo!”
oh
There was no need for fireworks.
I forgot that there are wild firecrackers here.
All you have to do is tell Basil to drop a fire spike and grind it into the air.
“I don’t think it would be a bad idea to start grinding tonight.”
Discuss this opinion with other children first.
I continued the search for the cave.
Even if we get to know our situation in Ardel, it may take some time to get there.
especially at night.
“It would be dangerous to attack at night. Should I put up a barricade?”
Of course, like yesterday, they will take turns standing at the watchdog, but just in case something happens.
I went into a deeper cave, hoping to find some of the things I needed.
“Basil.”
Now, just by exchanging glances, I can understand roughly what it means.
“Light a fire.”
* * *
The view was secured thanks to Basil, who lit a fire on a branch.
It did brighten up a bit.
It’s too dark, so you can’t see very well even with a torch.
I don’t expect anything special.
What I’m looking for isn’t that great.
Even if, for example, a net was found here or a pot for cooking food was found, it would not have been described in the original work.
anything can be really anything.
Mumbling ahead, I found a picture I didn’t expect at all.
“What is this?”
Torches lit the cave walls once more.
Unknown passwords repeatedly covered a corner of the wall.
what.
“Is it a mural?”
It’s like an ancient text.
The place is also a cave, so even if there are murals, there is nothing strange about it.
However, this feeling was familiar.
strong feeling.
So my intuition.
My intuition was always right.
“Basil, don’t you think you’ve seen this a lot somewhere?”
No, where did you see it?
definitely saw
Remember, remember!
Then, a non-trivial conversation ran through my head.
‘What is this?’
‘I found it. last week.’
An unidentified note that Lee Han found in Ardel’s secret passage.
“Han Shiha! Answer me! hey! Where are you going to put this?”
She shouted loudly at Seymour, who was calling her something of no use.
“Call Adela.”
“uh? I can not hear well!”
“Adela! Come find me.”
* * *
“This is the password Lee Han said.”
“password? ah.”
Adela saw Lee Han handing me something in the hallway.
Being there, he seemed to know what he meant.
“If the person who almost killed us was shed, there must be something.”
“… with high probability.”
Adela nodded obediently to my words.
It seemed that it was a cave deeper than I thought that it was about to be swallowed up by the dark darkness at any moment.
There must have been something deep down there.
“You probably don’t care much.”
Adela looked back and muttered softly. The other guys were reliable enough, but Seymour didn’t believe it yet.
Of course, even if it’s not necessarily for that reason, it’s right for the two of them to go.
It was a cave so deep that if it weren’t for the torch, it was impossible to see even an inch ahead.
As she walked out for a while while leaning against the wall, Adela stopped as if she sensed something.
“I think it’s the stairs. Are you going down?”
It is a rather gloomy structure to be considered a natural cave.
Adela emphasized once again.
“It could be a trap.”
“I know.”
Optical illusion magic spread throughout the forest, and a code waiting as if ready.
Even if I thought about it a hundred times, it was quite strange. It’s most likely a trap.
but.
“Even if you become a bait, you have to go in.”
It’s not strange at all when an attack comes at the level of being able to enter the Ardel Academy.
Even at this level of risk, if there was a cube in there, I had to come to you.
Without hesitation, I went down the stairs.
Adela held her sword calmly, but she was trembling slightly. Was it because it was instinctive?
This is not an ordinary cave.
Even I, who doesn’t feel the magic so well, took a deep breath at the pressure I felt in the air.
The interior looks like a dome. There was no sign of popularity other than the intense magic.
I walked slowly down the hard floor.
one step. two steps.
And that moment.
“Han, Han Shiha!”
“Ahhhh!”
The bottom was empty.
I stumbled on my foot. No, I wasn’t in vain.
The ground began to crumble.
“crazy.”
bang.
It sank down with a strong roar.
He hurriedly wrapped his magic around him, but the shock was delivered intact.
The entire floor of the dome collapsed and fell several meters into the visible basement.
“Gagging… .”
It was an instant.
“Wow, I think I stepped on something.”
“Is this a trap that works automatically just by stepping on it?”
Adela groaned and shook her head.
There seemed to be no serious injuries.
Basil looked around me as I lay face down with bewildered eyes.
“Ugh… .”
My vision, which had been dark, was slightly brighter thanks to Basil.
I fumbled around and grabbed the extinguished torch again.
And when I gave it to Basil, it caught fire.
The ceiling is collapsing and the walls are a narrow space that seems to be completely enclosed.
The source of the intense magical power must have been this one.
After slowly scanning the left, my gaze turned to the right.
Without realizing it, I approached him as if possessed.
“What is that?”
Clearly shiny passwords.
Words of unknown meaning were engraved on the stone wall and shining.
“I think there is something we are looking for in here.”
It is not a foreign sensation.
When I first held the cube in my hand, the magical power that felt so intense that my fingertips numbed has been transmitted.
Adela’s eyes widened.
“Shall we open it?”
woo woo woo.
The heavy stone shook and pulled it out that had been buried underground.
I knew as soon as the intense orange light that blocked my vision spread all over the place.
third cube.
He grabbed it without hesitation.
Even though I know it’s a trap, and that it’s bound to be a trap.
It was something not to be missed.
rumble rumble.
The ground began to shake so much that it could not be compared with before.
“I think we hit something right.”
“sympathy… Whoa!”
bang.
Adela flew away and was killed. I wasn’t much different either.
The moment a rock fell from the ceiling was about to slap me in the head, Basil threw it away with his tail.
“Coo! Koo!”
Damn, I have to get out.
“Adela, come to your senses!”
It was then that I discovered the identity of this vibration.
We woke up right.
The existence that slept in this basement.
“What is that… .”
“Golem… ?”
Covered in moss, the golem, who had no idea how long it had slept, woke up in a corner of the basement.
Eyes glowed eerily.
bang. bang.
A huge mass of magical power, which was likely to exceed three times my height, took a step forward.
Adela clenched her teeth and pulled me in.
“Hold on tight!”
“uh… uh!”
A fragment of a stone thrown out.
It was Adela standing on it as if it were a footstool. It seemed that the instinct to jump even in a short moment took precedence.
Are you going to float this with telekinesis?
the two of us?
I turned to look at Adela in amazement, and Adela nodded.
“… go, go Hold on tight.”
“Aww!”
My body shot straight upwards with my scream.
