Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 169
Han Si-hyuk slowly raised his head.
I’m asking for an investigation out of nowhere.
It is also a request that my office assistant is applying for.
Han Si-hyuk was naturally curious.
That determined expression on her face even makes her look fierce.
Han Si-hyuk smiled softly and asked Adela.
“what?”
However, the smile on Han Si-hyuk’s lips disappeared at the next words.
“There is a village where I was born. that town… I want to find the one who broke it.”
“… What?”
“The wizard who buried the villagers alive… I want to know who you are. Who ordered it, and who executed it. I want to know because anything is good.”
Han Si-hyuk stopped the hand holding the fountain pen.
If I heard correctly, is that kid talking about the Catablam case?
Damn, why all of a sudden… .
Han Si-hyuk frowned and looked at Adela.
Maybe he doesn’t know anything, a child burning with revenge.
Adela said to herself, clenching her fists.
“There are people who say nonsense… How absurd that is, how it happened… I have to figure it out myself. Help.”
When Han Si-hyuk was speechless, Adela hurriedly added an explanation.
“It’s Catablam. the town where I was born. It was about 10 years ago… In addition… .”
“… okay.”
Han Si-hyuk interrupted Adela’s words in the middle.
Know.
It’s different from just seeing the event from a third person’s point of view.
The name of the village has a different meaning to the present Han Si-hyuk.
Before Adela was born and raised in the village, it is the village where he was born and raised.
He must have had a family, and his hometown must have been precious… .
You would have to lose loved ones.
that pain. that pain.
I don’t remember Han Si-hyuk, but it seemed like he knew vaguely.
Rather, because of that, Han Si-hyuk spoke coldly.
“Don’t bury it.”
“yes?”
“It’s been 10 years or so.”
Adela’s eyes widened.
Even if he is someone who has no cold side, he was embarrassed because he did not know that he would reject a request so coldly.
Adela was a bit perplexed.
“Um, is it because you don’t have a request? You received all of the miscellaneous requests without even paying attention. I have enough money, so… .”
“I am not a backstreet hotspot.”
“… .”
“I don’t take any requests for money. And I think I have more money than you.”
Adela kept her mouth shut, because it wasn’t exactly wrong.
Han Si-hyuk felt guilty, but he waved his hand without showing any effort.
“I think we’re done talking, so let’s go.”
Those who remember and those who don’t.
They share similar emotions, but their essence is different.
Because I can’t have regrets about things I don’t remember.
Han Si-hyuk tries to take care of those who remember him.
Although not even a drop of blood was mixed with him, he was nonetheless a younger brother.
An office assistant who is strong and fierce, but does a good job.
He hated himself more than anyone else, but his father raised him nonetheless.
For everyone’s sake, this case had to be buried.
“And I don’t think I’ll be able to accept requests for a while because I’m busy with classes alone.”
Han Si-hyuk makes the best choice in his own way.
Even if this choice becomes the worst in the future.
I’m trying to gamble on my best right now.
“… .”
Adela bows her head in disappointment.
“yes. sorry. Good-bye.”
After saying those words, I looked at Adela’s back as she left the investigation room.
Han Si-hyuk realized that he could not hide it forever.

The process of creating artifacts requires delicacy.
And for that delicacy, you have to put a lot of time and concentration into it.
So, after the midterm exam, I was almost stuck in Natalie’s studio.
Developing a smartphone and weakening the cube. Both operations are performed simultaneously.
In addition, I put quite a bit of effort into one individual piece.
Detox Artifacts.
If what I wrote at the time was a temporary copy that lasted only a few minutes, this time I am working on making a finished product.
Then, suddenly, a thought occurred to me.
“I should have gone to engineering school.”
Something… Something… I found the wrong department.
He clenched his tongue and grabbed the sword again.
Since modern tools cannot be used 100%, artifact creation is made somewhat ignorantly.
I’m in the process of shaving the surface one by one with a knife right now.
“Basil, another sword.”
“Coo!”
If you do the work, Basil will ask you.
Flutter-.
Closti comes by flying.
With the perfect help of the two assistants, the detox artifact is nearing completion.
Solder the magic circuit on top of this and check that the magic is spinning.
“Are you okay?”
“Coo… ?”
Pak!
Basil struck the desk with his tail as if dissatisfied.
“Why, what’s the matter?”
“Coo, woo… .”
“uh?”
And I thought it was a little late.
Basil was actually a genius.
If you whine as if something is unsatisfactory, you will invariably find a problem in the circuit.
“crazy.”
He seemed to sense the subtle collisions of magical waves like a ghost.
“Good job, Basil.”
It’s so weird that he throws a piece of cheese and runs back and forth.
Seymour, who was working next to him, poked his head out and spat out.
“… Well raised, hey.”
“Isn’t Basil smart?”
This isn’t even my child, but I feel proud for nothing.
He smiled happily and shrugged his shoulders.
“under… I don’t know who I look like.”
“I must resemble a dragon, do I resemble you?”
“… Concentrate. Because you’re twisted.”
“Ahhhh!”
bump
Seymour got up from his seat, startled by the sound of something burning.
Woodang Tangtang.
Ignoring the fuss, I even focused on the detox artifact.
That was then.
daughter-.
The bell rang, but Adela entered the workshop.
“Uh, is Adela here?”
“Are you late for class?”
“Can’t you see the fort?”
As the ceremonial greetings of the members of the order poured in, Adela smiled and nodded her head.
“yes.”
It’s the guy who’s been locked in the dormitory for a week.
In the meantime, for some reason, communication did not go well.
I said it was okay, but I didn’t have any faith at all.
What really happened?
Than I’ve seen before… It’s a little brighter.
“hi.”
Adela said so as she sat down next to me, and I accepted the greeting as usual.
“Are you feeling a little better?”
“Yes.”
Adela put down her luggage and smiled slightly.
It wasn’t a forced smile like it was back then, but it was fortunate.
… I don’t know what it is, but it must have been resolved.
“I’m glad.”
It was the moment I was about to shove my nose on the desk again, thinking nothing of it.
“Han Shiha.”
“uh?”
Adela’s determined voice resounded so small that only me could hear it.
“I have decided.”
Adela’s eyes twinkled.
What did you suddenly decide?
I asked at a random word.
“uh? What.”
“I asked the investigator, but he didn’t accept it. So I’m going to try to figure it out on my own.”
“What kind of quest did you put in?”
When I tilted my head at Adela’s words to catch the clouds, Adela calmly continued.
“The town where I was born.”
what?
“We’ll find out what happened.”
Adela’s unknown eyes turned to me.
“uh… uh?”
A sudden brain freeze occurred at the unexpected words, and he lost his speech.
“I have a reason to know.”
“… .”
“I will definitely find out.”
What is the reason you need to know?
I couldn’t understand the words that were whispering as if it was meant for me.
What should I answer for that?
“uh… Well… .”
I want to know the truth, the child’s everything.
Should I dry it or leave it alone?
Because I never know
I stood blankly for a while.
The words I spit out after thinking about it countless times were simple.
“… Good.”
After answering me with difficulty, Adela said again.
A sad voice conveyed emotions that cannot be described in words.
“sorry.”
You have nothing to feel sorry for me.
On the contrary, I should be sorry.
“… .”
I’m sorry too
I couldn’t even spit out the words that came up to my throat.

Tae-soo Han was contacted by a sound teleport pager.
A message to finish class and return to the Castilian Territory because there is an important matter.
I didn’t know what it was, but I thought it might have something to do with Catablam.
At the time of recovering the Arkenent Spirit from Earl Dwayne.
There was a condition offered in return for help.
He promised not to speak of the Catablam incident any more.
This case is a top secret that the more it is uncovered, the more dangerous Adela becomes, the more dangerous it becomes, and the safety of the imperial family may be shaken.
I agree that it is correct to ask this.
By the way.
Why does yesterday’s voice keep ringing in my ears?
‘sorry.’
Where did you hear anything from?
The words that came out suddenly caught my heart and I felt like I was going crazy.
When I was standing idly by grabbing my pounding hair.
Han Tae-soo’s voice woke me up.
“It’s late, but you arrived well.”
Tae-soo Han didn’t greet me with the bright face he had back then, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t hit me as coldly as in the past.
He was simply staring at me. His eyes were calm, but there was love for his child.
I looked back at Han Tae-soo and spoke calmly.
“I heard you found me.”
“It did.”
“If it is a serious matter, what is it?”
Tae-soo Han answered my question bluntly.
“You don’t feel like it’s too early yet, but I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to decide in advance.”
I thought you were talking about Catablam.
A completely incomprehensible word came back.
I tilted my head and asked.
“What… mean?”
“He’s coming in.”
“Yes?”
The moment I turned my head to Tae-soo Han’s words.
I froze in the unexpected face.
After reclaiming the estate, Count Arkenent, whose face became clearer, walked proudly.
Even though it’s not a face I haven’t seen in a long time, he waves his hand toward me as if it’s nice to see him.
up to here, though.
After that, Solia comes in with her eyes on her.
no… Why are you here?
flinch.
Solia seemed to be a little surprised that she had similar thoughts.
Solia kept her mouth shut and her eyes wide open.
Standing against the wall, she asked Solia with her mouth.
‘What’s going on?’
‘… ?’
Solia, with her eyes wide open, shrugged as if she did not understand the English language.
he doesn’t know either
I don’t even know what the situation is.
My mind has become complicated.
Why are there two of them in the Castilian Territory?
At this time, at this time.
If it’s something that’s going to be taken seriously… .
no way.
One thought ran through my mind.
Tae-soo Han introduced Solia with a smile.
“Greetings. It’s your fiancée.”
