Academy Genius Tamer Episode 168
Long straight hair protruded through the robes. Even in the moonlight leaking through the window, the woman in the robe could not be seen.
Adela swallowed her saliva and took a step back.
That woman clearly agreed to talk.
Thinking that a hasty attack could be poison, Adela lowered her staff.
However, the vigilance was still not lowered.
“You are a timid child.”
There seemed to be no intention of ridicule.
Rather, as if he was cute, an unknown laugh could be heard through the robe.
“You don’t have to be too scared.”
The woman spoke in a calm voice.
“I’m here to tell you something interesting.”
“… .”
“It’s pretty much something you’ve been wanting to hear, isn’t it?”
Something you’ve been wanting to hear… .
“What?”
Adela asked in a trembling voice.
It was a voice full of doubt.
‘What kind of craft?’
My instinctive intuition was speaking. Don’t believe what that woman says.
kind of psychological warfare.
I may be saying this to shake my feelings, so I have to ignore it.
Adela made that decision, and stared at her with a hard face.
However, a word that could never be ignored came out of her mouth.
“Are you from Catablam?”
Adela’s expression darkened.
Adela’s wounds she has cherished all her life.
Adela had never heard of it from anyone else.
I wanted to avoid being labeled as a child who survived a cursed village.
So I didn’t tell anyone except Si-Ha Han. Thanks to this, classmates ignored Adela, who was a commoner, but did not call her a cursed child.
It would not have been information that anyone could access.
How the hell does this woman know that?
No, what the hell is the point of saying that?
A woman in a robe opened her mouth.
“who… Wouldn’t you like to hear what made your town that way?”
A word like a whisper from the devil.
As soon as those words landed in Adela’s ear, Adela felt a strange sensation as if power was draining out of her body.
acknowledged
Those words were enough to shake me up.
Even though she knew it was an obvious masterpiece, Adela collapsed for a moment.
“that… You know who it is… ?”
Her voice was trembling, not like Adela’s.
Adela has been fighting for over 10 years for formless revenge.
But he still couldn’t find the target of revenge. For the past 10 years, only meaningless revenge and fights have been repeated.
The devil who killed my family and destroyed the village.
If only I knew who it was… .
Then I could get away from that hellish nightmare a little bit.
Adela swallowed dry saliva.
It’s a sweet lie that will make you enchanted at any moment.
‘Is it real?’
No, even if it’s not real.
‘Isn’t it okay to listen to it once?’
A record that is nowhere to be found.
The town of Catablam has been erased from the map, and no one is held accountable for it.
Adela wanted to know the ugly truth.
Even if it might be Pandora’s box, I definitely wanted to open it.
“Do you want to know?”
The woman wearing the robe smiled as if she knew how Adela felt like that. It was kind of a smirk on the back.
But now, the earnestness took precedence over the displeasure.
Staring at the strange smile on her lips, Adela opened her mouth.
“Yes, I want to know.”
In an instant, a different look stood out in her eyes.
“I must have waited quite a long time. How about if you find out, will you get revenge?”
“yes.”
“Breaking down families, annihilating them, and wiping them out of the world. the same pain as you… Are you going to give them back?”
“… .”
“Anyone?”
“… yes?”
At her somewhat awkward question, Adela hesitated for a moment.
Destroying the family and annihilating everyone.
repaying for the pain suffered.
The definition of revenge that Adela had envisioned was correct, but it felt a bit awkward.
Is it because of the feeling?
For a moment, Adela felt that she had opened an irreversible Pandora’s box.
“Then let me know.”
It’s already late.
As soon as Adela nodded her head, she approached me like the wind.
A fleeting moment when I couldn’t even feel the approaching popularity.
A sweet, soft voice whispered alluringly.
“Castica.”
“yes… yes?”
An unbelievable word.
No, I don’t want to believe it.
“It’s the child’s family.”
My heart stopped.

The magical power test was presented in the form of all-question statements.
Shiha Han calmly skimmed through the questions and wrote the answers.
The overall difficulty level was high, but it was a problem that everyone knew.
First problem first.
Hansiha held a pen.
1. Describe the genetic cause of the mana circuit twist phenomenon.
If a valve defect occurs during the development of circuit valves, circuit twisting and stenosis may occur.
Han Shi-ha described the result of the magic circuit twist using the dragon and werewolf’s magic circuit as an example, and moved on to the next problem.
2. Is the magic used in black magic the same as the original magic? Describe the source.
This was consistent with the explanation I gave to Seymour while looking for obsidian.
The magic used in black magic has the same composition as the existing magic, and it can be analyzed in detail from an elemental point of view.
3. Describe the developmental magic formation process step by step.
Magic power is generated on the magic island.
The process can be described in five steps.
Likewise, Han Si-ha’s hand, who knew the answer, sped up.
4. Describe the four elements of magic in detail.
… .
In addition, a total of 7 questions of the same type.
The test duration was one and a half hours.
I left the exam room with satisfaction, filling in a page or so for each question and turning my hand off.
Most of the kids were clutching their heads and whining, so they could easily get a good score.
At that moment, Lee Han patted Han Si-ha on the shoulder and stood next to him.
Then he asked in a quiet voice.
“Did you see me?”
“How can you really see well, hey?”
Lee Han nodded his head as if in denial.
Like the head of the magic department, a standard answer came out.
“I did it until five o’clock yesterday. It’s a problem I’ve seen before.”
“I woke up all night, awake.”
“Not that much. I had to get good grades on exams until I graduate in order to go on to Matop, so I took it with me.”
“ah.”
I thought I wouldn’t study for the test because I was paying attention to the cube.
Even in the midst of this, he is the main character who takes the exam until 5 o’clock in the morning… .
When I read the book, I didn’t know something… Something is a bit strange.
The world may perish, but I’m taking care of myself!
I’m studying for the exam while I’m busy beating monsters and warlocks!
Was Sulcademy really a K-Academy thing?
Hanshiha got a little dizzy.
“… This can be happen.”
The main character also has to get a job.
“I still think I’m going crazy.”
Hanshiha scratched her head and turned her head. Another familiar face was walking on the other side.
Adela came out of the back door tattered after completing her magic test.
Han Si-ha and Lee Han waved their hands at the same time.
“Adela!”
Whoops.
Adela stopped as she heard her calling.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
It’s about time for lunch.
Han Si-ha, who was thinking of buying something to eat outside with Basil, gladly approached Adela.
By the way.
“… Where are you bad?”
Adela’s face, seen up close, was pale and tired.
A face stiffened like a sick person. When Siha Han asked worriedly, Adela quickly shook her head.
“no.”
A faint smile crept across Adela’s lips.
A smiling face as if trying to reassure Han Si-ha.
That laughter somehow seemed like a forced laughter, so Hanshiha paused.
“Doesn’t that sound bad?”
Adela waved her hand and spat out words.
“it’s okay. I have to go in first, so I’ll go first… .”
“uh. uh… okay. hey. Go in first.”
Adela quickly moved away.
Han Si-ha, who had missed the timing to grab hold of it, stopped blankly.
I couldn’t stop the boy who looked unwell, but the expression on his face was a face he had never seen before, so it was even more disconcerting.
what, just
Something… A look that seems to have lost something important.
A feeling of such great loss was etched on Adela’s face.
Hanshiha muttered with a worried face.
“What’s going on?”
“Well.”
Lee Han, standing next to Han Si-ha, shrugged his shoulders insignificantly.
“Did he fail the exam?”
* * *
name, face, and identity.
The words of someone who doesn’t know anything.
‘It’s the child’s family.’
Adela bit her lower lip hard as she pondered the words that were ringing in her ear.
She was a woman who knew more than she thought.
Not only did he know that he was the only survivor of the village of Catablam.
I also know that my only weakness is time limit.
So no more trust.
A person who knows too much attracts the opponent with the faked truth.
“It’s also absurd.”
It can’t be.
No way… no.
Adela clenched her fists tightly.
“I was trying to tease you.”
Yesterday, I was dumbfounded and listened to it, but if I think of it as a warlock’s schizophrenia, everything makes sense.
If he made up plausible words to induce internal strife, he failed.
When I met Han Si-ha today.
Adela felt very guilty for having doubted the Castika family for a while.
It was so ridiculous that he, who was shaken by those words, became angry.
so that.
Sorry, I couldn’t see her face.
“You idiot, Adela.”
Adela mumbled to herself and bowed her head.
“I was really stupid… .”
Adela blamed herself so much, but she didn’t want to be bound by those feelings.
If there is a mistake, please correct it.
Doubt can be driven out through certainty.
Adela lifted her head and looked up at the plaque hanging in front of the door.
It was a very determined face.
[Han Si-hyuk’s Magic Investigation Room]
It was a place I roamed around all summer vacation. As an office assistant, I was looking for a place to eat, but today the purpose was a little different.
Adela took a deep breath in front of the plaque and carefully opened the door.
Since Han Si-hyuk is a competent investigator, he will be able to help him. It will dispel this nonsensical misunderstanding and reveal the truth.
I won’t avoid it now.
You are ready to fight your fears.
Adela cleverly knocked on the inside door.
Professor Han Si-hyuk is handing over the investigation files in a neat manner as usual.
Feeling popular, Han Si-hyuk slowly raised his head.
Adela smiled and walked over to him.
“Inspector.”
and.
I brought out the main point that came here.
“I’m here to commission that investigation.”
