Academy Genius Tamer Episode 161
Day 5 of the news.
I’m hungry. I think I’m going crazy
I feel sensitive because people are hungry.
I got hot while sawing and almost threw it away.
I resisted the temptation to throw away class and everything and go to dinner dozens of times.
It’s been over four days since I drank the potion, so now I really only have to endure two more days… .
Looks like I’m going to die too
It’s easy to say, but two days at a time like this feel longer than a week.
“damn.”
Adela’s storm monitoring is faithfully keeping the one-meal-a-day rule.
It seems like I haven’t eaten anything for almost 20 hours because I’ve been told that the more I keep an empty stomach, the better the medicine gets.
Well.
I can’t.
“let’s eat.”
no matter how my life goes
I definitely eat this.
The merchant was right when he said that it was more difficult to keep the conditions because of the news.
After vaguely flirting a few times, I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I finally made a decision.
Adela watches over her when she is awake, so she uses the early morning hours.
“hehehehe… .”
I sneaked out of the dormitory and walked down the empty hallway.
It was late in the morning, so all the lights were turned off, but now the appetite to eat something took precedence over that fear.
Even if I didn’t eat properly, my head spins pretty quickly.
In the cooking practice room, I roughly scrambled the ingredients, ate alone, and when I entered the dormitory… .
Hey, it’s the perfect route.
you won’t know Adela wouldn’t even know!
“Hey, I’m salivating.”
profit.
I took my breath away and entered the cooking lab.
As soon as I entered the darkened room, I clicked the switch.
My eyes brightened up, and the well-organized dining table and kitchen caught my eye.
It was the place where Solia had eaten red bean porridge before.
Of course, there is no one around 3 in the morning.
“Isn’t there something to eat?”
I grabbed my hungry stomach and quickly scanned the shelves. In the meantime, Parr’s hands were trembling.
I’m hungry and I can’t even get my hands on it. I was training and attending classes in this state of my body, so it’s strange that I didn’t fall over from exhaustion.
Still, as a human being, thinking about food makes my head feel clear.
Endorphins are released and the quality of life goes up!
It is not for nothing that it is said that you have to eat what you want to eat.
Originally, ramen was the rule of thumb for a late-night meal, but there is no way there is ramen in this world… .
what.
“Why are you there?”
I was astonished to find a bag similar to ramen in the drawer.
Why is this
Why is there ramen in this world?
“Hey, there’s red bean porridge too.”
I just gave up thinking.
“by the way… How do you eat this?”
I picked up a bag of ramen and thought about it for a while.
If you take out a bowl of udangtangtang from here and take out a pot, when to boil and when to put it away… .
It’s a bit cumbersome
“Should I just pour water into the bag and boil it?”
The pot he was about to take out was put back in.
There is a magic water purifier that produces hot water, so I decided to use this one.
“float… hot… .”
gurgle.
Receive the steaming hot water in the bag and carefully support it with both hands.
here… .
Just wait 2 minutes.
My patience ends here.
“let’s eat.”
He hummed and glanced outside. There is still no one in the hallway.
It’s a bit awkward to sit at the table openly eating, so I squatted with a seat by the door.
Ramen at 3 in the morning.
I’m so happy I’m going to die
“eww… uh… It was good to be alive.”
It’s about physical resilience and what it’s like to live.
First of all, you have to eat and live.
If I starved for 20 hours, I would have seen some effect.
Self-rationalization is complete.
Afterwards, blow with your mouth and scoop out a drink with a fork.
A sweet smell that tickles the tip of the nose.
This familiar scent that I have never tasted after possessing, and soul food that soothes the dawn.
The joy that comes after 20 hours of fasting.
“Huh… .”
Finally, it was the moment when I was about to put a mouthful of ramen in.
ugh-.
A shadow was cast over my head.
“Well?”
Did you just have a chill in your back?
What’s wrong with your mood?
I stopped the hand that was about to put the ramen in my mouth and slowly turned my head.
The feeling of something standing next to the door… .
“Aww!”
A silhouette with short bobbed hair fluttering and holding onto the door.
I almost lost the bag I was holding in my hand without realizing it.
“Hey… hey hey… .”
There was a ghost standing there.
No, there was Adela, who was scarier than the ghosts.
“you… What are you doing there?”
* * *
Adela was looking at me with salty eyes.
that… It is true that the situation is a bit pitiful from what I see.
Doesn’t it get a little miserable when you look at it with those eyes?
“Are you that hungry?”
“a little?”
“Isn’t that a bit off-putting?”
“Sup… that… .”
Adela laughed out of embarrassment.
After getting permission from the professor and training until late in the morning, the lights were on, so I came and saw that I was there.
As I listened to Adela’s explanation, I poured the remaining ramen into my mouth.
To be honest, I’m not very offended.
Once you’ve eaten, that’s it.
hey, this is yummy
After all, it’s ramen noodles.
After a satisfying meal, he raised his thumb.
Adela looked at me like that and smiled.
“Don’t stuff me like that, would you like to eat something right?”
“… I will not refuse that again.”
In the end, we ended up with the hot soup that Adela boiled.
Let’s go hungry for the next 48 hours.
He scratched his head until the end and shook his head.
Then, Adela muttered with a serious face.
“Aaron must have come because of Cube.”
Aaron?
“Well.”
After the body recovered, neither of them talked about it first.
Adela almost died, and I was no different.
I did not want to bring up the incident at that time and express it.
However, Adela cautiously adds.
“It seemed to be looking for you.”
“You must know that I have it.”
Since he used the cube openly there, he may have even noticed that the cube has powers.
Not a very good situation.
Adela was also of the same opinion.
“I’m going to attack you until you take the cube… Can we keep it to the end? I don’t know that.”
If it was Adela, she would have protected the Cube even if she had walked everything. However, it is true that the original also faced a similar problem.
opponent is strong.
It takes a miracle to defeat a warlock like Aaron.
Dozens of miracles have to happen one after another in order for us to protect the Cube.
In the process, Solia died.
Adela was seriously injured.
Ian was desperate.
I know the answer, having followed the process right up to the end of Part 1.
It’s simpler than you think.
Their ultimate goal is to collect cubes.
In order to activate the heart of the machine and draw its magical power, wouldn’t it be enough to find the machine and destroy it?
It took them 10 years to build the complex structure.
The warlock who made the heart of the machine is dead, so I’m not even sure I’ll be able to recreate it.
So, break it down.
It’s a simple matter that ends when you break it.
But how do you explain this to him?
“Another way… Wouldn’t it?”
In fact, they say they have the heart of a machine!
You said you’d turn it into a cube?
– If you say that, you’ll be treated like a madman.
It would be nice if the warlocks didn’t treat me like a spy.
Well.
“Another way… yes.”
“What?”
Shall I use the one I used then again?
“That’s true… .”
I laid my voice down with a serious expression.
“I’m excited… .”
blurred the end of his speech.
do you believe
Uh, can you believe it!
Even I think it’s bullshit
Adela looked at me who had stopped talking and tilted her head.
I think I just said something.
I shook my head violently.
“What?”
“No, no.”
In an instant, he was almost treated as a prophet.
I waved my hand and shook my head.
You can’t talk about the machine openly, you just need to figure it out somehow.
It would be easier to persuade me to show it directly than to explain it in words.
In the original, there was a reference to the location of the heart of the machine.
It’s extremely vague, but it’s at a level that can’t be found just by listening to the explanation.
The heart of the machine… .
So… .
It is in the stronghold of the warlocks.
quickly reached a conclusion.
“Shall we just raid our stronghold?”
“What kind of front yard is that?”
Adela panicked and jumped on the spot.
* * *
Dawn with dim light.
A group of people wearing black robes gathered under the semi-basement where only a single ray of moonlight came in.
NGC area.
This place, close to the heart of the machine, was the home of the warlocks.
Rather, it is a smaller area than the attached facilities, and only a very few wizards can enter.
It’s on the ground, but it’s underground.
Located on that mysterious border, it is a place that ordinary people cannot find or visit.
Sitting on a splendid, golden chair, the woman looked back at her black robes and smiled on her lips.
A man with a robe pressed so deeply that his eyes could not be seen opened his mouth.
“There was a huge power loss. Archent and Aaron, who were sent to find the Cube, lost their lives. Even if it wasn’t for hiding in the Empire… We could send more people, but that’s just too much for now.”
If it weren’t for the Empire, instead of sending them out one by one, they would have gathered several people and hit them at once.
There was only one reason I didn’t do this.
Even if you succeed in killing Han Si-ha, you can be annihilated, or you can get caught and die while preparing to attack Han Si-ha.
There are not many people left here.
Be careful, and you have to be careful.
The man wearing the robe continued speaking to that effect.
“I would like to invite Han Si-hyuk.”
“… Han Si-hyuk?”
“I beg your pardon? Wasn’t he the one who killed the Archent?”
A cold criticism came from the side right away.
“He doesn’t even know grace. Would the child listen? At this point, you have to kill it altogether. I need to deal with it as soon as possible before it gets stronger… .”
“Wait a minute. Calm down.”
“Yes?”
The woman loosened her crossed legs and smiled softly.
“I have a different opinion than the boss.”
She is the general manager here.
However, the actual boss who leads the NGC is different.
The one who inherited the heart of a machine from his predecessors, and the only one who knows how to use it.
He is the owner of the Blue Cube and has enormous power that can defeat all of them together.
It’s not good to go against his heart, but I don’t intend to keep an eye on him forever.
“Are you going to kill everyone for being misbehaving? Not some cubs.”
Some of them wearing robes bowed their heads at the cruel words that they said while laughing.
“It’s more than what I seek.”
“… .”
“Didn’t you want a society where we were no longer ignored?”
After the war, the warlocks had to live in hiding.
The restrictions on black magic became severe, and the program lost its former status.
Those who complain are not alone.
However, if you put it all over, you will only be repeating the war of several years ago.
“The way was wrong.”
Dominating with power and cubes is not the only skill.
If the master of power changes, it is certain that they will be pushed back.
An ideal written down in death ends with death.
So the general manager of the NGC said with a smile.
“We don’t have to write our changes in blood.”
“Yes, then… .”
“I hold hands with Han Si-hyuk. The younger brother was captured.”
“yes?”
approach it in a different way.
Han Si-hyuk has received the power of black magic and knows how to use it.
Any reason not to hold hands?
“Essentially, he’s not much different.”
The one who cried out for Archent’s death raised his voice.
“But he can’t be with him.”
“No, we will be together.”
“Yes?”
The power Han Si-hyuk possesses.
The power to bring myself to ruin.
“Because I gave it to you.”
Wearing a robe, she came down from her chair with a smile.
“Regardless of your will, we will be together.”
