Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 166
“You have to get out… Once you survive, anything… .”
Earl Dwayne murmured in the dark and groaned and lifted the heavy load.
I was planning to leave the Arkenent realm with only the gold coins and minimal luggage handed to me from Count Arkenent.
Count Arkenent said he would send it to me, but he could be aiming for his life.
Disgraceful, but this is the best.
back down.
Let’s get out quickly before anyone comes.
Count Dwayne, who was hastily hurried to step, stopped at the sound of footsteps.
Paat-.
A dazzling beam of light shone on Count Dwayne.
What… what!
“Aww!”
Count Dwayne waved his hand and threw the load he had in his hands full.
“uh… uh!”
Dwayne shook his head slowly, gritting his teeth, and sat down in surprise.
“crazy.”
There were two faces that should never meet.
Solia slowly lowered her arms and glared at Dwayne, and Han Si-ha greeted her with her face.
“hello?”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh!”
“Where are you so busy going?”
Dwayne barely got up and stepped back with a pale face.
“ah… it’s nothing… .”
“It was blocked.”
“Aww!”
widely.
Si-ha Han grabbed Dwayne, who was about to run away.
* * *
Dwayne knew about the obsidian mine, too.
At Han Si-ha’s words that he would save his life if he told him properly, Dwayne rolled his eyes and poured out the information he knew.
“Half a year ago, we received a request to deliver obsidian… .”
If it was half a year ago, it wasn’t as long as I thought.
Youn Ha-eul frowned and asked Dwayne.
“Obsidian? Where?”
“Coming from the top… I took it.”
It was originally a mining farm that had been closed for a long time, but when those who wanted to develop it appeared, they sold it for money.
Apparently, the price was pretty decent, so it must have been a good offer for the Arkenent Spirit, whose finances were shaky.
Dwayne continued in a crawling voice.
“It’s such a useless mineral… I thought it was ominous and threw it away… .”
If anyone could sell the abandoned mine at a high price, they would have done it.
Hanshiha didn’t think Dwayne’s words were a lie. However, I had a question.
Han Shiha looked straight into Dwayne’s eyes and asked.
“From which top did you take it?”
“that is… The top is… There are several places… .”
Dwayne clapped his hands as if he remembered it too late.
“ah! But the delivery area was the same.”
Solia and Youn Ha-eul’s eyes twinkled at the same time.
Hanshiha bent one knee and sat down as if Gumi was pulling her. I thought it was more information worth hearing.
Dwayne looked into Han Si-ha’s eyes and spoke.
“The Audrey Mountains in the northern part of the Ardel Empire.”
“Audrey Mountains? Where is it?”
“The terrain is a bit rough. Very few people live.”
“Yeah, boo… It’s a place where ordinary merchants don’t go.”
After hearing the explanations of the two, I am somewhat convinced.
“The Audrey Mountains… .”
Shiha Han guessed that there must be something there.
‘Worth digging.’
When I return to the academy, I thought that I should gather information once.
If I did this, I heard everything I heard.
Hanshiha brushed off the dust and stood up.
“let’s go.”
At that moment, Dwayne, who had been shaking his head the whole time, raised his head with difficulty.
“Oh that… Wait a minute!”
“Well?”
I couldn’t spend an hour like this.
Dwayne spoke in a desperate voice.
“Hwang, lower prince!”
The things he hated here will hold him back wherever he goes in the future.
There is no place in the empire that is not under the influence of the imperial family.
Dwayne felt that the prince’s heart should be relieved. So, crouching and talking.
“If you make it something that has never happened before… I will live quietly as if a mouse is dead… .”
“… .”
“Why are you? prince decline. If I ever went against planting again… .”
Like last time, and this time too.
I thought I heard it wrong… It’s not like I said it once or twice.
moon moon.
Looking down at the trembling Dwayne, Siha Han blinked her eyes.
“yes? But why am I the prince?”
“… yes?”
Solia and Youn Ha-eul, who were standing next to each other, shrugged as if they didn’t know.
Youn Ha-eul was disgusted and spat out.
“You don’t mind the sound of being dragged away for treason.”
“I know.”
“No, wait. what does that mean… .”
“Why am I a prince?”
“Prince… Aren’t you going?”
“Why am I a prince?”
“that… that that… Fountain pen… .”
Fountain pen?
Hansiha pondered for a moment at Dwayne’s unfamiliar sound, then pulled out the fountain pen he was carrying in his pocket and showed it to him.
“this?”
“Yes… yes! The imperial coat of arms!”
He looked down at Dwayne, who seemed to be confused, and smiled timidly.
“Oh, because of this?”
I now know where and what went wrong.
No matter how famous Han Tae-soo is, he seems to be too sweet.
Hwangga… Are you confused with
heh heh
Han Si-ha smiled as he waved the fountain pen in front of Dwayne’s.
“Ah, Your Majesty has a bit of a crush on me.”
“yes?”
“So I got a present. why? Any complaints?”
“uh… uh… no… Then the prince… no… He wasn’t a prince… .”
While Dwayne mumbled the same thing stupidly.
Astonishingly, this one was the same.
Youn Ha-eul shouted like a scream.
“you… Have you met the emperor?”
* * *
Even if you’re not a prince, nothing much changes.
While Si-Ha Han took advantage of the Castika family’s position to rob Dwayne, the academy’s dormitory was locked in a quiet darkness.
it’s late morning
At the time everyone was asleep, Adela jumped out of bed. It was as if his body had been folded up.
“ha… under.”
Adela let out a rough breath and grabbed the blanket tightly.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been having nightmares for the past few days.
I can’t remember what the dream was about, but one thing was certain.
Catablam. It seems that her hometown came out.
Adela shuddered at the discomfort that seemed to hold her neck.
“Why did you think of me again? .”
It is a town where many people have died.
He survived alone, but too many were buried without screaming.
Just thinking about my village, Adela felt choked.
“Don’t sleep with your feet stretched out alone… So are you in your dreams?”
Adela nervously pulled the curtain open.
The longer the time spent at Ardel Academy, the more Adela was slowly erasing the painful past.
Spending time with friends was sweeter than revenge.
Time with Han Si-Ha was the only rest for Adela.
It was only for a limited time that he had been rushing to get revenge and helped him to live as Adela herself, even a little.
Thanks to Si-Ha Han, Adela knew the beauty of the night sky, learned the warmth of the snow, and became a person who could grasp the scattering cherry blossoms.
So, sometimes I want to forget.
I wanted to forget this guilt that wasn’t my fault and live as a normal student.
“why… Why are you doing this to me… .”
It’s not a sin to survive.
Adela bit her lower lip hard in a sense of remorse that stabbed her heart.
“Whew… .”
Breathe in slowly and close your eyes tightly.
He does his best to drive away the afterimage of the nightmare.
I repeat to myself that it will be okay, that it will surely be.
Then, I suddenly remembered the face of a person.
Han Shiha.
It’s been a week since I left for the Arkenent Spirit in search of obsidian. The guy who hasn’t come back yet.
Adela cried and muttered.
“miss you… .”
There are nights when someone in particular wants to see more.
Tonight was such a night.
“miss you. When are you coming?”
Adela thought so as she looked up at the dark night sky where not a single moon had risen.
“… .”
Then I shook my head.
A cool feeling that seems to drive away this melancholy in an instant.
uh?
“what?”
I felt like I was just being popular.
* * *
Likewise, late at night, Han Si-hyuk was standing alone in a dark hallway.
The pain swept through my whole body as if it was crushing my lungs, and I couldn’t sleep at all.
“Gagging… !”
Han Shi-hyuk staggered and took a deep breath.
The pain was squeezing his throat as if he was going to bleed, but he couldn’t even vomit blood.
As Han Si-hyuk walked along the hallway, he awakened his increasingly cloudy mind.
‘why… why… It hurts so much… .’
It wasn’t attacked.
It wasn’t even that he had an illness.
The source of this pain… what the hell
Han Si-hyuk himself did not know.
When you kill an Archent and your body is overloaded.
It seems similar to the pain I felt then, but I’m not sure.
I just hoped the pain would go away and I could go to sleep.
“Ugh… Ugh… .”
Han Si-hyuk clenched his fists and stopped in the middle of the hallway.
Peeing-.
For a moment, his head turned slightly.
Han Si-hyuk turned his head slightly at the sense of alienation.
An eerie and unpleasant feeling throughout this hallway.
I knew the source.
Han Si-hyuk’s eyes widened and he stood still.
“how… what is this… .”
The hallway was stained bright red.
Seeing the blood dripping from the wall, Si-hyeok shuddered and stepped back.
“Wow!”
It was a sight that even made Han Si-hyeok, who has a strong stomach, vomit.
Han Si-hyuk wiped the wallpaper with trembling hands.
There should be blood on it, but nothing comes out.
Not real blood.
Only then did Han Si-hyuk calm his surprised heart.
“Is it illusion, not reality?”
Peeing-.
Holding her dizzy head and holding her breath, the dark hallway returned to its original shape.
In an instant, my legs throbbed and loosened.
“Huh… Ugh… .”
Han Si-hyuk staggered and leaned against the wall.
The pain that had weighed on him had subsided for a while, but the throbbing of his head remained the same.
“What… I saw… .”
unless you’re crazy.
The vision of the prophet must be a scene from the future.
“ah.”
I didn’t even want to talk about that terrible sight just now.
“I can’t… It can’t be… .”
Han Si-hyuk denied the illusion he had seen and muttered like a madman.
I rationalized it like that, saying that I was crazy because of the pain.
Han Si-hyuk ripped his hair out and took a deep breath.
“I can’t do that either… .”
That was the moment.
Behind him was a feeling of popularity.
“… !”
Han Si-hyuk reflexively reached out toward the shadow and grabbed the neck of the approaching person.
By the way.
“Gagging… It’s me. Investigator… .”
uh?
“Inspector… hurt… female… .”
Daerong-daerong-.
Adela was dangling from my hand.
“Ugh!”
Han Si-hyuk lifted his hand with surprised eyes.
