Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 154
I went through the endless hallway to the warehouse.
While heading downstairs, I didn’t say a word.
It took me some time to accept all the shocking stories I had heard. With her mouth firmly shut, she followed Han Tae-soo to the basement.
The space that looked like an underground warehouse was blocked by an iron gate.
Tae-soo Han poured his magical energy through the gap in the tightly closed door.
The door opened with a small vibration.
Han Tae-soo explained in a hard voice.
“It is a place where artifacts used in battle are kept.”
“ah.”
“It’s probably the first time I’ve come here.”
Artifacts were kept in the mansion, and books and treasures were kept in an underground vault.
As I stared blankly, Taesoo Han continued speaking calmly.
“Looks like I didn’t take you anywhere. Haven’t you been to the underground safe?”
“… yes.”
I’ve already robbed it.
I turned my head with a frown.
“Let’s go together next time.”
Fortunately, Han Tae-soo didn’t even notice that it was stolen, so he only added that much.
I looked up and looked at the weapons hanging on the wall.
Various cold weapons, including swords, spears, bows, and daggers, as well as staffs.
A space with high-quality artifacts that seem reasonably priced at a glance.
Tae-soo Han’s eyes, who had carefully scanned them, stopped in front of the blunt sword.
Han Tae-soo took the sword and handed it to me.
A sword covered in dust.
The blunt black seemed to capture the ages, but it didn’t look good for writing.
It’s just an ordinary looking sword.
“What is this?”
“I am too old to go back to the battlefield.”
Blood Count. His title proved that he had collected a lot of blood with his own hands.
Unlike the other counts, he took the lead in eradicating the warlocks and contributed to the construction of a new empire with his blood.
I’m sure that skill hasn’t gone away yet. So, that’s just humility.
“Not yet, isn’t it?”
However, Tae-soo Han seemed to have already made up his mind.
“Even if the opportunity comes up, I will turn it down.”
The unsolved case of Catablam is a tragedy he created.
I don’t want to see blood anymore.
He looked like he was saying that.
Han Tae-soo spoke in a calm voice.
“But you don’t have a lot to fight for in the future.”
“… .”
“It is the sword of the earth wave.”
“The Sword of Waves… ?”
I tilted my head as I looked down at the old sword with an unfamiliar title on it.
There will be many artifacts that are priceless.
And among many things, I was curious about the fact that it was a sword.
“I do not fight with a sword.”
“It is not a sword that can be used in peacetime.”
Taesoo Han shook his head and said.
“It is a sword that destroys the earth. Respond to your desperation.”
“If it’s the earth… .”
“I could destroy the entire mansion where you stand now.”
“… .”
My expression turned cold.
Even with that brief explanation, I was able to find out the true nature of that sword.
“Then with that sword… .”
I was able to get the answer from Tae-soo Han’s expression, looking at me as if sorry for not being able to speak.
Yes, it’s a sword with catablam.
A sword that slaughtered a thousand people and erased a village from the map.
I was going to ask Han Si-hyuk.
The sword that almost killed Adela.
I spit hard.
“… I do not want to receive it.”
“You will have to take it.”
“How do I use this?”
“There may come a day when I have to write.”
Tae-soo Han held an old sword in my hand.
“It is a sword that is passed down from generation to generation. It doesn’t respond unless it’s a little desperate, so it probably won’t be easy to use.”
Heirloom of the Castika family.
I slowly looked down at the old sword.
And he bit his lower lip hard.
It is a cursed sword that killed many people, but paradoxically, it is the sword that protected me.
If the moment comes when you have to protect someone with this sword.
I hate this sword too, but I’m going to pick it up.
“Take it out when you need it. It will help.”
In the end, I had no choice but to nod my head at Han Tae-soo’s words.
* * *
Castile wasn’t very close to the academy, but I quickly returned to my dormitory.
When I came back, thanks to Han Tae-soo’s support, I came back comfortably in a carriage.
And, I’m nailing it as soon as it arrives.
bang. bang. bang.
“What are you doing?”
Won asked with a frown.
Basil, whom I haven’t seen in a long time, tilted her head and rubbed my face against my leg.
Don’t be silly and just play.
“As you can see, it’s nail-biting.”
I answered dryly and took out the sword from the subspace bag.
Artifacts received from Taesoo Han.
I don’t know when it will be needed, but I plan to keep it in the dormitory for the time being.
I carefully placed the sword near the ceiling.
“done.”
It looks like an ordinary old sword, but hanging from a high place gives off a strange feeling.
Won patted Closti and asked again.
“What is that?”
“It’s a family heirloom.”
“Can I leave it like that?”
It’s funny to put heirlooms on the ceiling of the dormitory out of nowhere, but it’s a space that anyone can take with them if they want. In the end, if the won is determined, you can get it.
“Anyway, it’s said that it can’t be written unless it’s our family members.”
“okay? Even so, why did you hang it?”
In fact, it is a space bag that is easy to store.
You can take it out and use it whenever you want, so it’s easy enough that it hurts your mouth.
There is one reason to leave such a place and hang it from the ceiling.
“The sword of the earth… irana. When not in use, keep it away from the ground as much as possible so it doesn’t get dirty.”
The more dirty the sword, the lower the ability of the sword.
It must have lost a lot of its past abilities over the years.
However, I couldn’t just let it roll around in my bag, so I chose the dormitory ceiling as a temporary measure.
Won said as he glanced at the plain-looking sword.
“Ganji… is less good Have you already inherited the heirloom? Hey, the famous ones are different. hey.”
A sword that can destroy an entire dormitory if you support it with earnestness.
From the standpoint of knowing the real power of the old sword, Won’s carefree remarks brought laughter.
A sword that buried a thousand people.
It is a sword that is dangerous enough to be a disaster even to possess.
I wanted to become what I would be by wiping such a sword with a cloth to make it shiny and hanging it on a high place so that it wouldn’t get dirty.
sucks.
I threw myself on the bed and looked up at the ceiling again.
“Coo!”
Basil, who felt more comfortable in my arms than in my own house, crawled in, but I was still in my thoughts.
‘Don’t get close to Han Si-hyuk.’
‘Adela, so is that child.’
“Ugh.”
A god came from within.
Knowing that it was a relationship that could never go back to the way it used to be, even if you pretend it’s okay, it felt like your intestines were twisted.
I tried to deny it and nailed it to erase my thoughts.
The belated reality is only bittersweet.
Even if I die, I can’t ask for forgiveness.
what do i… What should I do?
From where… .
Should I untangle this tangled relationship?
Why am I… .
“Ugh.”
“what’s the matter? Where are you sick?”
After nauseous twice, Won asked with worried eyes.
He waved his hand and got up from his seat.
It’s not a problem to be solved if you’re stuck in bed like this and grabbing your throbbing hair.
“No, it’s okay. I go out for a while.”
“Are you not feeling well? where? Hey, Hanshiha!”
“I’ll be there soon.”
I couldn’t just let the damned twisted relationship go unnoticed.
* * *
Han Si-hyuk looked down at the documents that had turned to ashes with a hardened face.
That was the last document in the unsolved Catablam case. So now you are the only one who knows the contents of that document.
“… What’s going on?”
Han Si-hyuk shook his head and shook his head.
Suddenly, his younger brother came in through the door and stood in front of him.
No, I can’t use the word “brother” anymore.
Han Si-hyuk shed a self-helpful smile.
Han Si-ha, as usual, grinned and spat out words.
“Sorry for skipping the enchantment class, Professor.”
The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are not.
Han Si-hyuk also forcibly raised the corners of his lips and spit out the words skillfully.
“Okay. Because I was seriously thinking about failing.”
“under… ?”
He frowned and shrugged.
It was a playful tone, but I couldn’t accept it this time.
Maybe the reason I was away yesterday was because I went to the Castilian Territory.
Han Si-hyuk, who read the complicated feelings buried in Han Si-ha’s expression, carefully opened his mouth.
“… Did you hear everything?”
At Han Si-hyuk’s words, the smile on Han Si-ha’s lips disappeared.
Just in case, Han Si-hyuk hit the player.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of avenging myself now.”
“… .”
If the case file he checked is correct, Tae-soo Han was nothing less than an enemy who took away his parents and village.
And he was in the condition of a baby tiger who grew up in the arms of such an enemy.
how scared you were
Watching the tiger cub I picked up from the street tighten my neck and become a criminal.
How much did Han Tae-soo want to kill himself?
I didn’t know that, and I longed for love.
He was jealous of his brother and disappointed in his father.
What the hell did that all mean?
It wasn’t family in the first place.
Han Si-hyuk let out a smirk.
“I don’t even remember. I remember, I must have resented it or not. So, if you came here with the intention of worrying, go back.”
“It looks fine though.”
“Maybe I’m pretending to be okay. Still, the truth is that I have no intention of revenge. Anyway, I can’t win. your father.”
“… .”
“I am thinking about leaving the empire soon after the investigations I am in charge of are sorted out. If you disappear from my eyes, I will like it.”
Maybe that was the path for Han Si-hyuk, so Han Si-ha, who was about to add something, shut her mouth.
Han Si-hyuk took out a note from his pocket and changed the topic.
“What you should be worried about is… I think this is it.”
“What is this?”
“My office assistant.”
“Adela? here… did you come?”
Han Si-ha received a twisted note from Han Si-hyuk.
“Yesterday, I went over the investigation room saying I didn’t go to class without a word. Where did you go?”
Again and again, it is a neatly written letter.
It was a note that Adela had left behind.
Han Shi-ha read the contents of the note with a complicated face.
When I asked what was written… .
[Basil misses you, so tell him to bring him out!]
“You don’t say that you want to see me, even if you die?”
Han Shi-ha laughed as if it was absurd.
Han Si-hyuk waved his hand and spat out words.
“Anyway, I think I’m looking for you, so go see.”
“… .”
“Don’t regret it later, go ahead.”
“yes.”
Han Si-hyuk, who was about to let Han Si-ha go, stopped and called him back.
“ah.”
There was a face that suddenly flashed through my mind.
“By the way. Is it this child or that child?”
“What kind of gold ax or silver ax does that sound like?”
“that… The girl in my class who slept with her arms crossed looking like she was dying.”
“Are you talking about Younha?”
“Is it that kid or Adelan?”
Han Si-ha’s eyes widened at Han Si-hyuk’s words.
What do you mean by this face?
‘Is this guy blind?’
Han Si-hyuk sighed and stuck out his tongue.
I feel like I’m getting hot all of a sudden.
“Okay, go.”
“uh… uh? What?”
“Turn it off.”
bang-.
Han Si-hyuk forcibly pushed Han Si-ha on the back and closed the door.
