Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 42
The eerie sound of music boxes coming from the entrance.
Hanshiha shrugged her shoulders at the chilling energy.
“This is no joke.”
I don’t know what’s coming from where I’m afraid.
The clock on the wall was spinning backwards, and the horse was creaking back and forth as if it was riding on a person.
Adela, who was on the fearless side, frowned and shook her head.
“… uh.”
Basil pricked up her ears and was busy paying attention to her surroundings.
In the meantime, Usher, who was faithful to his role, spoke calmly.
“There is.”
“Oh, please. It’s okay if you don’t tell me that.”
Won shuddered and wrapped his arms around his head.
Han Si-ha tried to stay calm and beat Won.
“Aren’t Western ghosts better than Eastern ghosts, though?”
“Don’t say that! Aww!”
“Hey, every time you do that, you startle me, so please don’t distract me.”
“No, I’m not afraid!”
“Who was afraid? You can’t concentrate, focus!”
Adela turned to the two of them arguing and clicked her tongue quietly.
perhaps… would it be that similar?
Perhaps this is the roommate that Heaven has inherited.
Instead of drying the two of them together, Adela sat down at a desk that lay loosely in the middle of the hut.
Shhhh
A fountain pen floating in the air was moving and printing ink on the letters.
Hanshiha paused and turned her head. Adela swallowed her saliva and slowly fixed her gaze down.
“what?”
“Are you writing a letter?”
“Is there something you want to say?”
Knowing in theory and seeing in practice are quite different.
Adela looked around and slowly read the letter.
[You can’t see it, but it’s close, and if you try to catch it, you can’t catch it.
What is my name?]
“Ghost.”
It was a moment when a word came out of Usher’s mouth, who was silently reading the letter.
tuk.
A black eyepatch fell from the air. As a result, a scream rang out.
Won finally bounced off the spot.
“aah!”
“Ugh. That kid is real.”
you were surprised
Han Shiha grunted and grabbed the eye patch that had fallen from the air with trembling hands.
The crew members who had already looked at the dungeon’s manual could roughly guess the purpose of this eye patch.
“Isn’t this what it is?”
“If you use this, you can see ghosts.”
That’s right. The Haunted Forest was not originally a dungeon that ordinary people could crack with the naked eye.
This is the only thing you can see and catch with this eyepatch.
The problem is that there are only two eye patches.
It was a dungeon that could only be broken by those who could see ghosts and those who couldn’t.
‘This is what Professor Grint said about the spirit of cooperation.’
I can’t see it, but I don’t know where the attack might come from.
The reason why the Haunted Forest was difficult for a B-grade dungeon was in this penalty.
The Caspers must have been running wild in this house right now.
He shrugged his shoulders while holding the eye patch.
“Adela? one?”
Before entering the dungeon, I decided in advance who would use the eye patch.
Adela needs to set up traps to catch the boss, and Won runs around the field mainly for attacks.
Won hesitated for a moment and then put an eye patch on his head.
Meanwhile, the fountain pen was constantly moving in the air.
[I don’t harm you, but my friend doesn’t know.
I hope you survive.
Otherwise, the seat next to me might not be bad.]
“The seat next to me… .”
The fountain pen is afraid to write the last line.
bang.
A strong roar resounded from the side of the circle.
It was the sound of a magic arrow that someone purposely shot.
“Ahh!”
“you… What are you doing now?”
Won frowned and clenched his fists.
My heart was already pounding. I almost died, just now.
“Hey, Hanshiha!”
A kid who can’t even handle magic properly puts arrows in his head. It made me want to hear the reason for the mad suicidal act.
Before Won could say anything, Han Si-ha relaxed her bow.
Han Si-ha, who fired a magic arrow from the side of the circle, uttered a low-pitched expression with a calm expression.
“The ghost just wanted to overtake you.”
The attack started as soon as the letter was finished.
I could feel the creepy energy all the time, but he was aiming openly from behind.
Was it Casper then that something exploded?
Won could not shut his mouth after checking the ashes that had fallen to the floor.
But soon I had a question.
Other than that, how do you get a ghost at the right time… .
Unlike Usher, there would be no way Siha Han could have seen it.
“How did you fit it?”
“I have nothing to say about it. Let’s go, it’s dangerous.”
whistle.
Han Si-ha supported the circle from behind and pushed it forward. Adela and Natalie, who noticed quickly, also rushed out of the hut.
The ground, which had been fine before, cracked and began to shake.
“Wow!”
“Just run!”
Han Si-ha’s prediction was correct this time as well.
As soon as Usher escaped, the shaky hut that was about to collapse at any moment collapsed, leaving nothing but rubble.
“It was almost buried. I will return.”
For a B-class dungeon, the level of difficulty is bloody.
Won, who escaped with a rough breath, put on an eye patch and froze.
Wheeik-.
Oh, it’s not scary.
I didn’t know there would be this many.
I don’t think it would come in such a big crowd.
Han Shi-ha ran away with a grin on her teeth.
According to Usher, the speed of chasing was faster than expected.
In order to secure the maximum distance and strike according to the strategy, a little faster… .
At that moment, Natalie pointed her finger near the bush.
“I will ride a horse.”
It was also the content of the dungeon strategy.
They were so fast that I had to catch them while they were running.
Only the experience of Han Si-ha is different from that of the academy students who have been learning horseback riding since childhood.
Han Shi-ha looked embarrassed, but soon got on a white horse.
Fortunately, I knew how to ride.
Should I consider myself lucky to have heard of the equestrian club?
Anyway, I rode a horse, but the problem is.
“I don’t know if I can attack while running.”
puck.
As soon as one stomped his foot, he began to build a mane.
Basil, riding on Han Si-ha’s back, let out a loud cry.
At the same time, the guy ran.
* * *
Naturally, there was no ghost in Han Si-ha’s eyes.
It was like that from the beginning. It just caught Basil’s movement and fired an arrow.
It was indeed a huge loss.
Of course, what is needed to make up for that loss is the spirit of cooperation.
The purpose of the group assignment that Professor Grint emphasized so much.
“Natalie, on the left!”
“Ahh!”
“Good job, I got it!”
“Adela, are you following me?”
Before entering the dungeon, I did a lot of simulations.
Thanks to this, the four of them were able to catch the ghosts without any major problems like long-time colleagues.
However, it was by no means an easy dungeon.
“Huh… Ugh.”
“Is it hard?”
“I’m bored and I’m going to search.”
There was a strategic reason for conceding the eye patch to Adela and Won, who were specialized in attack, but in reality it was for a different reason.
In the Haunted Forest dungeon, the hidden items that Han Si-ha had to obtain could not be found with an eye patch.
So it was even more difficult.
A hidden item that must be obtained while fighting an invisible enemy.
In fact, there was no description of what the identity of the hidden item was.
Han Si-ha looked around and put all her heart into trying to figure out what kind of popularity she might feel.
It was a task that required more mental power than when I first activated my magic.
Especially on this horse that runs wildly without a break.
So, I needed Basil’s help.
“Koo!”
The guy who jumped off the horse at once grabbed something from the air.
Next is Han Shi-ha’s share. Without hesitation, the arrow went straight in that direction.
Pugh-.
“Are you doing well?”
Usher’s words were not empty words.
Usher mumbled softly with a dry voice and turned her head to look up at Han Si-ha.
“In the back.”
Paat-.
Han Shiha balanced on the buzzing horse and threw a magic ball.
This time, the flames burned in the air, and then faded away.
That’s an astonishing rate of reaction.
‘Are you human?’
When I caught the ghost that was about to attack the circle in the hut, it was actually Usher that surprised me the most.
He appeared so quickly that even Usher, who could see ghosts, was bewildered.
The moment when everyone was careless.
Someone who can’t even see it catches it.
As a warrior, it’s like fighting with your eyes covered with an eye patch, but you do it without panicking at all.
Even though I knew it was impossible, I could see a ghost, but I doubted it.
However, Han Si-ha’s eyes staring into the air had no focus at all.
No, it’s even busily moving as if looking for something else.
A dry voice came out of Usher’s mouth, who had been staring at him the whole time while riding on a horse.
“Are you looking for something?”
“right. Can you help me?”
“That’s what I came here for.”
This was sincere.
Usher turned her head and smiled faintly.
It was all because of the oracle that he, who had no talent for battle in the first place, came to this dungeon, which would be nothing but a burden anyway.
A word that resonated in Usher’s head for the entire week.
“… Stranger with magic.”
“uh? what? I can not hear well.”
“It’s coming from the right.”
– That person will save the world.
* * *
It’s not precise, but it’s accurate.
Trying to hit them all in one room. By hitting it with all my might.
That method was sometimes an arrow, and it was also a magic ball.
In fact, other than the basic magic, Han Si-ha had not yet mastered it, so the methods that Han Si-ha could use were quite limited.
It was an attack method that could be overkill, but it didn’t look too dangerous thanks to the overflowing magical power.
The smile that gently spreads on the corner of his lips makes him feel even more relaxed.
“I got it.”
“Did you?”
“For sure.”
Adela laughed as she listened to the conversation between Usher and Han Si-ha.
We have almost reached the end of the road we expected to reach our destination.
Shoo-.
Shoo-.
In the meantime, he made a bat with his temporary magical power and smashed the approaching Casper.
He looked like a madman when he was swinging in the air like that, but the moment he realized that the attack was all hit in one shot, his disdain turns into awe.
“ha… It’s really great.”
In Adela’s eyes, wearing an eyepatch, it was clearly visible.
That Han Si-ha is almost flying.
While the excited horse ran fast, Hanshiha was catching the monster faster than that speed.
‘Is it all like that?’
It’s an absurd assumption in the first place.
Natalie, who could not wear an eye patch under the same conditions as Han Si-ha, was a little terrified.
It looked like he wasn’t even able to show half of his original ability.
Even with the help of a circle that pointed out the ghosts’ locations.
Natalie pouring all her energy into defense.
However, it is also an astonishing sight in its own right.
Most people would have been suffering helplessly.
Yeah, that’s normal.
By the way.
“Nice shot.”
bang.
“homer!”
“Hey, Basil, scream.”
“Coo! homer! homer!”
What do you mean by Hanshiha, who runs wildly as if she was in the front yard of my house?
even.
“Why are you so excited… ?”
When I first entered the dungeon earlier, I was trembling subtly when I heard that there was a ghost, but since I couldn’t see it anyway, I ran around happily.
At this point, you will feel ashamed of the eyepatch that is cumbersome to put on your eyes.
In fact, I think I catch it better than myself.
“I would have rather left it to him.”
Adela smiled and looked back at the members who followed safely.
When Adela, who was breathing heavily, arrived at a dead end.
The horses stopped with an anxious cry.
“… no way.”
Whew.
The sound of the wind in the quiet forest.
Basil also rolled her eyes with a nervous look.
The birdsong, which had been heard before, stopped.
and.
thud.
A large vibration resounded enough to make the earth tremble.
