Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 21
one.
The best helper of the main character Lee Han.
Although he had an infinitely light personality as if he could fly, he was a versatile person without lacking anything.
Quick judgment, and sociability to get along well.
Thanks to Won, who boasts a splendid network at Ardel Academy regardless of seniors and juniors, Lee Han has always been informed of the latest updates.
Since he is good even by nature, he is a person who has nothing to lose by being friendly. He may be the most reliable person in this sledgehammer.
When I thought about it that way, the boundaries became more relaxed.
This place is full of only the main characters who want to kill me.
“Is this your first dormitory this year?”
“right. Last year, I didn’t get good grades.”
Han Si-ha, who was in crisis of failing, actually did not have any experience in the dormitory, so she used it as an excuse and followed the circle.
It was not just a piece of information from the book of Seulkademi, but also listened to various news from Ardel Academy and learned the geography of the dormitory.
“This is the dining room. Ah, tomorrow’s special… Firebore forelimb salad? Whose head is this crazy diet coming from?”
“… .”
“Please don’t experiment with students. You better give up dorm meals here, nutritionists are pretty experimental.”
“no.”
“why?”
I don’t have money so I can’t eat this.
The only free food is dormitory food.
Do you have to survive eating foods that look no better than a chicken breast salad like a fire borer front leg salad?
“damn.”
Am I really excommunicated from my family?
It’s time to put some money in your pocket.
He grumbled and came out of the back of the dormitory. When I entered, I caught my eye at the magical outdoor training site that I had glanced at.
“This is where the ball goes. There are children passing by and getting hit one by one, so try avoiding them.”
“Isn’t that pretty irresponsible?”
“And another place to visit… .”
There are as many places to visit as the spacious exterior.
It’s been about 30 minutes since I looked around the dormitory facilities one by one while listening to Won’s explanation.
Won clapped his hands and spat out words.
“Let’s go in slowly.”
Sighting was enough.
So it was time to go back to the building.
whoops.
Suddenly, a dark shadow began to fall over his head.
“Well? Is it going to rain?”
He rolled his eyes and raised his head.
Dark smog that looks like a dark cloud.
The color of the smog floating in the sky along the clouds gradually grew darker.
“… !”
Finally, black smog completely covered the dormitory area.
Just looking at it was terrifying, blocking my view.
“What is this… .”
poop.
Black rain began to fall through the smog.
Rain is an instinctive feeling of rejection.
Won frowned.
It was a sight that he had never seen while living in Ardel Academy.
“What the hell is going on?”
He tried to get out of the building to check the situation.
one step.
The moment Won pulled out, I grabbed his arm.
The two legs, which had almost gone out of the building, staggered and settled back down.
“Dangerous.”
remembered
The sight, the eerie atmosphere, and even the muddy lawns soaked in black rain.
Even though it was only one line, I clearly remembered the passage in Seulkademi.
“Damn.”
[Two students disappeared through the thick smog.]
Second main episode.
It was the beginning of the dormitory kidnapping case.
* * *
Of course, it is not ordinary rain.
As if to prove that, the students in the playground, who had not been able to evacuate, screamed and fell forward.
Toxic rain.
Knowing that, he had stopped the circle from going out.
“aah!”
From students limping and urgently evacuating under the building, to students who collapsed in front of the building in panic.
They are Ardel Academy students who are evaluated as having excellent abilities, but most of them did not behave properly in this situation.
Some of them, who had come to their senses, hurriedly stretched out their hands.
“Everyone, go inside!”
“Escape, this way!”
“Aww!”
A dormitory that became a chaos.
The unwelcome sight of people pushing each other in order to live without anyone else caught my eye.
If I hadn’t been standing under the building beforehand, I would have been mixed up in that chaos.
“What the hell is this?”
“Curse magic… ? Isn’t that kind of like that?”
“Curse magic?”
However, the real problem wasn’t that mysterious smog.
That’s because you’ll be there in 5 minutes.
As I expected, the black smoke that had covered the entire dormitory was fading little by little.
Those suffering from the toxic rain will soon wake up in the infirmary.
In the first place, that smog was for a smoke screen.
I swallowed my saliva as I looked around the dormitory, which had been blurred by the smog.
What will happen next is pictured in front of my eyes.
As if to prove it, a sharp voice echoed through the dormitory.
“The students are gone!”
“What?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Are you disappearing? who?”
The real problem was right here.
Adela and Solia Arkenent of the Department of Magic.
Because the two honor students disappeared without a trace.
* * *
“damn.”
Adela moaned and snorted softly.
Originally, she could have spit out harsher swear words, but now she has Solia Arkenent who values ‘culture’ as much as Selenium, so I decided to postpone it to the next opportunity.
Instead, Adela frowned and spoke bluntly.
“Ugh, what are you going to do?”
Now the two of them were tied tightly to a tree trunk that looked like a monster.
This damn tree vine.
Adela sighed as she recalled the bad memories of the slime dungeon.
To be honest, it was worse now than it was then.
Back then, I had both arms free, because now there was nothing I could do.
What would you say if you had Han Si-ha?
Adela frowned and shook her head.
Why do you think of a kid who was lying in the dormitory without knowing this beggar’s situation?
Adela took a deep breath and faced reality.
In front of her right now, a huge and drab baobab tree, so huge that it gave her goosebumps just looking at it, was sleeping with the two tied together.
It hasn’t been killed yet, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to loosen up nicely.
what will happen after this
Will someone come to kill them?
If so, for what purpose?
‘I have no desire to die already.’
Well, I’ve never bought a grudge enough to die just because I’ve lived so long, and I’m not a person whose ransom is so great that anyone wants to. Just an ordinary student of Ardel, a commoner with no family or background.
Adela reflected her plight bitterly and turned her head once more.
“Tell me, what are you going to do?”
Solia, who had her eyes closed comfortably as if she had been hanging on from the beginning, blinked her golden eyes.
A quiet word came out of her mouth.
“Well. I’m probably going to die.”
“What are you so casual about? Have you given up on life?”
Adela nodded nervously.
I can’t seem to get all my strength together and try to get out, but that’s the sound of losing my strength.
He felt like he wanted to immediately pick up the sword that fell under the floor and cut that huge tree in half.
… I can’t reach it now, though.
“… .”
How many minutes had passed by such an awkward silence?
Solia, who had been silent, opened her mouth with a calm voice.
“That tree is weak to light.”
“What?”
Solia looked up slowly at the sky surrounded by darkness.
The last black smog I saw when I was kidnapped in the dormitory without knowing English.
It wasn’t raining as painfully as it was back then, but there was still a thick fog that obscured the view. There are even tree trunks that get twisted up and make it impossible to see the sky.
If it had been allowed to receive sunlight, it would not have blocked the light so completely.
So it was a conclusion.
Adela swallowed her saliva as if she had sensed the strange sense of alienation that she had just felt.
She seemed carefree and treated her with a sharp edge, but I had no choice but to admit it.
That was a pretty sensible analysis.
Adela mumbled softly.
“… That’s right.”
“So I will fight.”
A abduction magic that attacks students through toxic rain and uses the pain as energy to cast it.
When looking at the way he used the life force of others, it was clear that he had black magic.
What is the best match for that black magic.
light magic.
It was the ＜Purification of the Earth＞ skill she had.
At Solia’s confident words, there was hope in Adela’s eyes.
right. Solia’s purification ability is enough to get her out of this gloomy swamp.
Although that ability was still at the level of 2nd class, I didn’t know if it would work in such a small area.
Solia took a deep breath and clenched her weak fist.
Before long, she began to repeat the spell softly.
A spell that can purify this place covered in black and evil.
“Peace on Earth and.”
“… .”
“For the welfare of the earth and the blessing of the earth.”
“I command… .”
That was the moment.
Before he could properly start the magic, thick smog obscured his vision.
[Don’t be silly.]
At the same time, a voice that seemed to whisper right in her ear reverberated in her head.
It wasn’t actually a whisper. It was just carried away by the wind through black smoke.
I felt a creepy energy on my back.
A single word that seemed to contain evil continued.
[Did you think it would be? Only fresh blue sophomores… .]
“Huh… .”
The tree trunks begin to tighten around the waist to the point of suffocating.
The yellow-eyed tree grinned uncomfortably.
“Kek.”
Solia gasped and breathed heavily.
I don’t know what the Cursed Tree is thinking, but they might kill themselves if they misbehave.
The fear of death lingered in her eyes.
[Why don’t you just give up without using sloppy numbers?]
“What are you talking about now? .”
Before a absurd word could come out of Solia’s mouth, her head suddenly started spinning.
“… !”
It’s like someone is controlling your thoughts.
The overbearing voice from earlier secretly concealed itself and whispered softly.
The creepy atmosphere was still there, but… .
Solia felt faint.
[I’ll make a proposal sweeter than death.]
It should not be dried out.
Solia closed her eyes tightly and tried to avoid seeing, but a fantasy was already unfolding before her eyes.
[I will rebuild your family.]
A family that was destroyed in one day.
Losing everything in an instant, Solia was thrown into Ardel Academy alone. You must survive here to regain your family.
If you live an ordinary life, you cannot have money for the rest of your life.
To that end, Solia has endured the life of Ardel Academy relentlessly.
By the way.
So easy.
Can you save the family?
[Isn’t that a pretty tempting proposal?]
A mental type of magic that attempts to encroach on opponents by accurately projecting desires.
The advanced magic that other students might have been brainwashed into earlier, Solia’s eyes instantly became dazed.
Adela noticed this and shouted evilly.
“it’s crazy? Hey, calm down!”
“… .”
“That child, but I know that life has been hard. I… I!”
under.
As Solia, who was her only hope, is drooping like that, her mouth is dry.
The moment when Adela struggled and screamed.
Once again a terrifying voice echoed from the tree trunk.
[A suggestion to you… .]
“Shut up. damn tree bastard If you’re going to make a suggestion like this, next time, show up as a cute little bastard! It’s not something I want to hear from a dark bark!”
[…] .]
I’d rather not know if it’s a cute dragon like Basil.
No, why does Basil come to mind here?
Adela bit her lower lip until it bled.
It’s just before I die, so I’m about to burst into tears.
One more time before I die, even Basil… .
That was the moment.
“Weak to light?”
A familiar voice that made Adela’s eyes twinkle.
At the sudden voice, the tree turned its head with cool eyes.
A male student in Ardel Academy uniform.
I didn’t kidnap a friend who looked so sloppy.
Before the tree trunk could break through the air.
[uh… uh?]
[aah!]
A dazzling flash of light pierced the tree’s eyes.
It was an instant.
[this… what is this! I’ll kill you… I will kill you!]
The tree was writhing in pain, and Adela’s body was thrown into the mud.
Dozens of tree trunks shrunk at will and then split the air.
A perfect attack aimed at a loophole at an unexpected point in time.
“… The effect is certain.”
Hanshiha smiled and picked up a large magnifying glass.
The magnifying glass I used to burn paper when I was a kid.
In fact, it wasn’t even a great light.
I just drew as much sunlight as I could in this dark space.
[Where did you go! Where did you go!]
So this is your last chance.
“ah… Aww!”
Adela, who was lying on the floor, trying to pull down a tree trunk, felt her body fall from the air in an instant.
spatula.
Taking advantage of the confusion, Han Si-ha, who struck down a tree trunk with a knife, beckoned to her with a smile.
“Are you okay?”
“uh… uh?”
thud.
Eventually, the body became free.
The moment Adela stood up with a bewildered look.
Han Si-ha smiled softly and whispered.
“Go and fight.”
“… !”
Adela drew her sword without hesitation.
