Academy Genius Tamer Episode 41
A mysterious note thrown in front of someone else’s dormitory visit.
What the hell are you talking about so you’re so ignorant?
He approached Won, who was standing blankly, and grabbed the note in his hand.
When I asked if there were any threatening phrases written on it, a completely unexpected word was written.
[Right side.]
“Are we calling now?”
“Right side… ?”
With both eyes closed, he briefly recalled the plot of Seulkademie. If my memory is clear, I don’t remember seeing an episode like this.
If it wasn’t someone’s prank, was it aimed at me?
“what?”
I thought about it for a while, but soon made up my mind.
If it’s inside the academy, which is relatively safe, it’s probably okay to venture out.
Whoever left that note needs to know.
“Let’s go.”
He shook his head and looked left and right.
At this time, leaving the original dormitory may be a reason for demerit points.
I was wary for a moment that there might be a dormitory superintendent who is holding out until this time, and then I set out.
I made my way to the end of the hallway on the right with as little footsteps as possible.
“Shh.”
“okay… .”
It was a time when I had not taken a few steps. Won, who was following, stopped with a startled look.
It was because we found a note at the end of the hallway that seemed to entice us. It was a continuation of the previous message.
[Under the stairs.]
“Who made such a joke… .”
“Are you playing such advanced pranks? With all your heart and soul? Think carefully. Do you have anyone McIl?”
Won lowered his voice and looked back with worried eyes.
There are a lot of enemies in the academy that doesn’t know how to win. It must be that someone is calling with a purpose.
I know that better than anyone. I shook my head and spoke softly.
“Let’s go a little further.”
I crumpled the note in my pocket and slowly descended the creaky stairs.
After that, several more messages appeared.
“Left, one more floor down, then turn again to the other side.”
Once I did, I followed.
It was when I walked around the dormitory carefully and finally arrived in front of the stairs in Building A. I could feel the popularity behind the stairs.
“… .”
Instinctively, he put his hand to the wand.
Whether it’s someone who has been waiting for me with a grudge against me, or someone who has called me here for some other purpose.
A situation that could be dangerous enough. Even if it was in the dormitory, I was planning to attack immediately.
However, what I saw was completely unexpected.
“Yes?”
A boy squatting under the stairs.
The bangs that were droopy from the rain were already like a mouse that had been hit by the rain.
Probably a first year student. His large eyes, which looked young for his age, were wet from the rain.
Even trembling, the sound of cracking teeth echoed through the quiet hallway.
He loosened his stiff shoulders from tension and lowered his staff.
“Did you call it?”
it’s not funny
It’s not all I’m looking for, but looking at what I’m doing, it doesn’t seem like I was specifically called to target me.
As he frowned in absurdity, a soft voice was heard.
“I didn’t know you would come.”
Strangely cold eyes looked up at him.
Won burst into laughter as if embarrassed by the chilly voice.
“Hey, you knocked on the door like that and didn’t know you would come. Then why did you call me?”
bump
Basil, who ran down the wet hallway after belatedly, was biting Won’s shoes and drooping.
Even if it was an awkward encounter, there must have been a reason for calling us.
Don’t you keep your mouth shut with a cold expression like a kid with a story?
The strange eyes that seemed to recognize me caught my heart.
rattle. The guy, who had been trembling for a while, lifted his blue-stained lips.
“Please take me too.”
“Where?”
“It’s a haunted forest.”
what?
It would have been surprising to ask them to take them to the amusement park, but dungeons.
It’s amazing that we knew exactly which dungeon we were going to.
What are you doing?
There are so many bastards in the academy that play differently than they look, so I couldn’t break the boundaries.
Judging from what you’re saying, he was even following us.
At the moment when many doubts were about to grow and bite their tails, Won asked the guy.
“what is your name?”
“Usher Barton.”
Blue eyes pierced this way.
Won tilted his head and uttered his name.
“It’s Usher Burton… Is this your first name?”
No, I’ve heard of it.
I’m getting the hang of it now
How do you know why this bastard called us in the middle of the night, about the dungeon he didn’t even talk to?
“How are you?”
* * *
“What is he?”
Adela asked, with her eyes wide open, as if unwelcome.
Natalie also had a strange expression on her face, as if she could not read her thoughts.
In front of two high-ranking second-year-olds, the guy who was even more terrified was still keeping his mouth shut.
Dark blue hair with an indifferent expression.
Although it is a young face, it is an aura that feels strangely intimidating to be regarded as a child.
“It’s a strange face.”
Cold eyes and an arrogant posture that seems to be on the body.
Looking at that alone, I thought he was a student who was optimized for the program, but he wasn’t the Usher I knew.
Rather, he is a student suitable for the theology department.
The Department of Prophecy and Astrology. He was a guy who was gifted with a genius talent.
Maybe that was the reason for the heterogeneous atmosphere that I felt around me when I first discovered it.
The boy’s eyes touched the air and then shone unknowingly.
Natalie, who sensed such an energy too late, blinked her eyes.
“Usher Barton. It is said.”
“1 Grade?”
“yes.”
Right now, they are juniors with no presence to the extent that even Natalie and Won and Natalie, who are mad-headed, do not know, but after a few years, they will become quite famous.
A genius of foresight who sees the future accurately enough to foretell war against the Warlocks group.
But, Natalie, who doesn’t know that now, tilted her head and said.
“More than… No, it looks like a different friend.”
“I know.”
The circle is also a reaction that is not much different.
Won, who rolled his eyes for a moment as if in doubt as to how he knew how to follow the haunted forest, looked at me.
It was a look that was really going to take me.
There was something to point out.
I believed in science more than astrology or prophecy, but what I was thrown into this world was far from science. He must have seen something with those foresight eyes.
In the Haunted Forest, not anywhere else.
The name of the dungeon looks like this, so it’s a bit annoying.
“Did you see something?”
“… !”
Usher stopped at my direct words.
Slightly wet shoes were wet and squished on the floor.
Usher glanced out the window as it was pouring down rain like yesterday, and threw out a word instead of an answer.
“I will not disturb you.”
“Is there a necessary purpose? Are you saying you have to follow me for that?”
“yes.”
words are short It’s so short that I can’t even read what I’m thinking.
Complex personalities are just disgusting. I was contemplating whether to say no, but one word from him shook my mind.
“It would be helpful.”
“… .”
“I can’t see ghosts.”
It’s scary, you bastard!
* * *
The Haunted Forest dungeon is located inside Ardel Academy.
While most dungeons are located outdoors near the academy, the Haunted Forest was a dungeon that had to be entered through Ardel’s library.
In fact, at dawn, there were rumors that ghosts who escaped from the dungeon wandered around the library.
Usher spoke quietly at my words.
“Oh, that’s true.”
even real
With Usher in the lead, our group stopped in front of the closed library.
Adela, who brought the master key, opened the closed door and lowered her posture.
Of course, you can’t see ghosts until you enter the dungeon, but seeing Usher scanning everywhere from the side, it seemed like a ghost would appear from behind at any moment.
“Whoa, I’m kind of scared.”
Natalie put her hands together and looked carefully at the unpopular library.
“I said it was number 5-3. Is this right?”
“Hey, hey. Han Shiha. come over here there… Don’t you think there’s something?”
“… not there.”
“Oh yeah?”
Usher quickly calms the fuss-free circle.
I calmly headed towards the fifth compartment of the library, where no light was lit.
The fourth bookshelf is a messy mix of various books, from magic books to literature and poetry collections.
It’s here.
Standing in front of it, I swallowed my saliva and reached out for the third row.
“Is this book?”
The entrance does not move even in the afternoon, but at dawn, the door of the dungeon can be opened in a special way.
A bookshelf that shakes when a book is carefully pulled out.
As soon as I reached for the third book, the bookshelf began to vibrate slightly.
“uh… uh!”
Ushu, who had been standing up until now with an indifferent expression on his face, balanced his eyes with a very surprised look.
squeaky. squeaky.
The vibration gradually increased along with the fricative noise, and the bookshelf, which had been attached until before, cracked and emitted light.
Paat-.
The light is so intense that it almost blinds you.
He covered his face with his sleeve and waited for the light to fade.
“Ugh… .”
“see.”
Only after the light had faded did the door reveal itself.
this is awesome
Without realizing it, I burst out in exasperation.
“… Are you going to kill me?”
A door that flashes blue.
I’ve been to Basil and the slime dungeon for practice, but it’s the first time I’ve been to an official dungeon.
Naturally, there was no safety device, and the only way to clear a dungeon is to do a thorough analysis and do your best to clear it.
It was just looking at the intense magic that he felt inside.
However, the dice have already been thrown.
And, the crew members who will never be pushed wherever they go.
This is enough.
“let’s go.”
He boldly opened the door.
* * *
“Ugh, is it creepy already?”
“Are you just scared of the dungeon?”
“Leave it. He’s like that.”
I like to watch horror movies with my eyes closed.
I’ve only thrown popcorn at the cinema three times, so there’s no reason to be afraid of this.
He shrugged his shoulders as if it was insignificant, keeping a slight distance from the fussy circle.
That moment.
Suddenly, something popped out of the bush.
At the same time, I also jumped out of place.
“Wow!”
“Aww!”
“No, crazy.”
Basil appeared with a tree vine wrapped around her body.
Wow, I was surprised.
He almost spit out abusive language, but he struggled to keep his composure.
“under… hahaha.”
“Hey, I’m not afraid.”
Won, who almost fell backwards as much as me, glanced at this side and laughed.
It’s not funny. As I was about to fall.
It’s amazing.
Hey, what the hell is that scary?
“just now. Weren’t you really scared?”
I wasn’t afraid at all.
“Coo… ?”
Basil looked up at me with puzzled eyes. The boy’s mouth twitched as if trying to retort.
I hit the player first.
“No cheese.”
“… That’s a bit.”
Hey, who taught you that?
Our Basil’s diction has increased a lot.
“Coo!”
He lifted the guy who was good at talking again and again and turned his head.
It was because the hut that was emitting a soft light alone came into view beyond the darkness.
Originally, the more houses like that, the more a hundred for a hundred, and it must be an abandoned house with ghosts.
can you star
The Haunted Forest dungeon starts there.
“Sup… .”
He swallowed his saliva and breathed in a subtle change of air.
Usher’s eyes, who had been following me without a word the whole time, touched the air without knowing. I’m the scariest when he’s like that.
Adela had a similar thought and whispered into her ear.
“What do you see?”
“Well.”
It doesn’t look like the monsters are going to attack yet, but I hurried to go, being vigilant in all directions.
After walking like that for a few minutes, I was finally able to reach the front of the hut that was emitting a soft light as if to entice travelers coming and going.
Naturally, it is a secluded hut that does not feel popular at all.
On the contrary, as soon as I entered, as if a bonfire had been lit, warmth enveloped my body.
The moment I slowly opened the door with a nervous expression.
“… crazy.”
I stopped at the strange sight.
