Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 23
“Where are you going?”
“I have a place to stop by.”
gloomy swamps. It was being cleaned up little by little by the death of the monster tree, but it wasn’t a very pleasant place.
With every step I took, I felt my feet sink to the ground.
“ah. It reminds me of slime.”
“Slime?”
“There is such a thing. It felt bad.”
After sending Solia and Adela back to Ardel Academy first, who were complaining of headaches from mental attacks.
I came here with Won.
“It would be like this… .”
A hidden place in Sulkademie.
I heard there’s a good spot near the Devil’s Tree.
“… found.”
“What?”
A huge boulder covered in moss.
An old stone structure caught my eye as if it had been there for hundreds of years.
A bizarre shape that looked like Cerberus had been carved out of stone.
Perhaps that was right.
Won swallowed his saliva and asked carefully. It seems that the monster tree from earlier was quite a shock.
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“You want to be here alone?”
“… I’ll go.”
It wouldn’t matter if I left it alone, but in order to gain his trust, it would have been better if there was no hiding place.
Won murmured at my words, but followed quite well.
Is it to be said that he has no options because he is a shy person by nature?
With a grin, he approached the stone structure.
Won looked around and gave a puzzled look.
There’s nothing particularly striking about it except for the gloomy one.
“Are you here? What are you going to do now?”
I quickly scanned the statue with my eyes.
There is definitely a gap.
“You have to push it.”
“This… ?”
It looks like that, but when you push it, it slides easily.
When I applied force to the seemingly heavy stone, it was surprisingly quickly pushed aside.
slurp.
“uh… uh!”
Won trembled and looked down.
An old wooden plank caught my eye in the place where the stone used to be.
you came right
Without hesitation, he grabbed the creaking wooden handle and raised it.
profit.
“… .”
and.
An unfamiliar space appeared.
I took a deep breath in the dark darkness that I couldn’t get a sense of how deep it was.
I’m just reluctant to go in.
I needed the help of a moving flint.
“Basil!”
“dream!”
When you pick up a branch and pass it to Basil, it catches fire.
Using it as a torch, he slowly climbed down the ladder.
“Uh… .”
The smell of the basement stung his nostrils as he had been neglected for so long.
Won, who followed with a slumped posture, rolled his eyes in surprise. A sizable basement of unknown use.
It didn’t look like it was very dangerous, though.
“What is this?”
The moment the torch was raised, what caught my eye was a painting that filled one wall.
An abstract painting that seems to have been painted over with faded paints.
For a moment, I was just admiring the magnificent size that I couldn’t see at a glance even if I lifted my head.
“What are you going to do?”
“Well.”
“… !”
🤩
He took out the sword from his waist and tore it apart.
* * *
Solia, who barely escaped with the power of light, is saved by the help of Lee Han, who followed her.
After saving the two, this is the hidden place that Lee Han found.
Originally, it was all up to Lee Han.
He’s one step late, and now all this… .
It’s all mine.
No, even a mean villain has to live.
As expected, if you tear off this wallpaper… .
Like a safe, gold and silver treasures that have been embedded for hundreds of years are pouring out.
Well, it would be sad if you expected enough to live on for the rest of your life, but at least the savory pocket money is enough.
“Wow. crazy.”
Won trembled and jumped out of his seat.
“Is this real? the owner? Do you have an owner?”
“… I would have died if I had. The stone statue at the entrance is a relic of about three hundred years ago.”
“How do you know that?”
“Cerberus. Because the tribes who worshiped Cerberus in this area had stone statues erected in each village. Well, that’s roughly what I learned in history.”
“Oh, I slept then.”
You are a proud friend, my friend.
He spit out the lines Lee Han had said and put his hands in his pockets.
There were jewels that looked pretty expensive, if not even diamonds and gold pieces that were beautiful enough to take with me.
Jusom Jusom.
The ones that seemed to be in good condition were taken out one by one and placed on an old wooden desk.
Basil, who jumped out of the table at once, sniffed and picked up the gold necklace with her front paws.
“I’m not eating that.”
Well?
The moment I turned my head to wipe away the dust without thinking.
“Coo!”
A bright cry was heard in my ears.
he’s a replacement
“Basil… ?”
“Coo!”
Basil blinks her eyes with a proud face.
After doing something, he hangs a pure gold necklace around his neck and slaps his tail to the floor as if he wants to see him only once.
“Koo”
I thought he was sincere only with cheese, but he is also sincere with gold.
Were you serious about the yellow thing, our flint?
At first glance, I saw that he picked up a pure gold necklace that looked like it would weigh no joke.
… It seems to resemble the owner.
“Hey, do you know the taste of money?”
“Coo!”
happy
I was looking down at Basil with a smile on my lips, and the one standing next to me softly admired and added more words.
“Wow. I want a dragonfly… .”
What the hell is that awkward talk?
He scratched his head and muttered indifferently.
“Tell me go.”
“… !”
Won looked into his eyes for a moment and then spoke carefully.
Well, from the time I sprinkled the ground rice, I was expecting something.
“… me too?”
“To some extent. Get what you want.”
“really? really? I’m serious?”
As she nodded her head dryly, Won’s eyes began to sparkle even more than Basil’s.
No matter how much a dragon likes gold nuggets, it can’t keep up with people.
“Aww!”
The circle bounced off the spot with an unknown elasticity.
“Last night a dog appeared in my dream, but it was all for today. That I will meet the nobleman of a lifetime and get gold… .”
“If a dog came out, it would be a dog dream.”
“The dog looked like you. Maybe this is a revelation from God.”
“… What kind of bullshit?”
Won raised his thumb with a look of excitement.
“He was a handsome dog.”
“That’s a dog-like compliment. Can you help me lift this?”
“Of course not.”
I knew I had an easy personality.
So it was brought
The reason why Won followed the main character Lee Han to the point of being close to loyalty in the original story was after this dorm abduction episode.
He’s not a guy who does anything for money, but he’s someone who can do something more with money.
… I didn’t know it would be like this, though.
“Wow, the box is as light as a feather.”
“Ugh. It’s heavy.”
Won exclaimed in admiration and took the dusty wooden box out of the wall.
“But what is this?”
“A real treasure.”
Those gems are not the only reason I’ve been diligently searching here.
Even if you just take care of that, you’ll feel like you’ve been through a windfall, but where is the money that is more important than your life?
It took strength to survive in this bloody waste, where living was more important than eating.
“really… treasure?”
“Usually, the real thing is hidden here.”
“But that… .”
A mysterious wooden box protruding from the depths of the hollow wall. There were traces of time all over the place to the extent that the lock creaked.
visor.
As soon as it was struck with the back of a knife, he quickly lifted the smashed lock and pulled out a tattered book from the box.
“It’s a magic book.”
“Is this a magic book? Are you a slut?”
At first glance, it is not enough to even use it to clean the floor.
Won, who had been expecting ‘real treasure’ for a while, withdrew with a face of great disappointment.
Even if it wasn’t mine anyway, I didn’t expect such an ugly piece of paper to come out.
I picked up the spellbook, which was droopy enough to see the writing properly.
Won frowned as if he was suspicious, and checked the title of the old book first.
and.
“Foundation… A black magic spell?”
oh
Should have covered it from the title.
i saw this
“Hey. Hey, put that down.”
“This?”
“It’s cursed. I didn’t even touch it. The black magic that was proper even for the Necromancer and the children… .”
“It will be fine, maybe.”
what?
The circle’s eyes, which had been gleaming before, began to flicker little by little.
No matter how good the money is, it cannot be exchanged for the justice he thought.
He’s not Lee Han’s best friend for nothing.
Seeing that one word of black magic makes me tremble.
“You too… .”
In the end, with his eyes approaching contempt, he handed over the magic book indifferently.
“Check again.”
“What the hell? I don’t need this… .”
[The spellbook is synchronized according to the user’s preference.]
[Synchronizing with Basic Magic Spellbook… .]
It’s probably a status window that won’t be visible to him.
At least the cover of the book would have been clearly visible.
“what.”
The title that made him terrified was instantly distorted and then rearranged.
I handed him the magic book with a casual expression.
“You saw it. It’s an order book that changes according to user preferences.”
“this… Is this possible?”
“I don’t know if the Warlock kept it, but it must be quite useful. If all the basic magic was described like this… It will be worth the price.”
“… .”
“You said The real treasure is buried so deep.”
Even if you have zero practical experience, you are quick in theory.
I shrugged and grabbed the spell book.
“Coo!”
An advanced magic book that not only explains the theory, but recommends the most necessary magic according to the user’s preference, and is made to be learned at once like a scroll.
I hope this will be an opportunity for Ardel Academy students to learn the basic magic that they have been learning through blood and sweat over the past year.
Well, I’m sorry.
Studying in the first place is also a temptation.
“Then shall we go?”
When I gently asked a question to the circle, who was still in awe, her bright eyes returned again.
He slept with a magic book, and now his eyes don’t matter.
An urgent word echoed through the basement.
“Wait a minute! I’m just getting one more bracelet!”
Damn, I’m serious about money.
“Take it all together and sweep it away.”
I smiled and put my hands in my pockets.
It seems like I’ve got enough of what I need to take care of, so I guess I’ll just have to leave.
“Well, I don’t think there is anything more special. Let’s go soon, the kids will be waiting for you.”
“Ugh!”
The moment I was leading Basil out of the basement ahead of the circle.
A twinkle, a flash of light erupted from the magic book in his hand.
It was an instantaneous moment that the circle would never have seen.
and.
[O stranger.]
A cold voice grabbed me.
