Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 44
“Are you okay, Hanshiha?”
“Did you catch it?”
“Ugh… .”
Adela and One ran.
He raised his body up with an evil sound.
A small lamp that fits in one hand.
Adela looked down at it, shining red as if symbolizing the heart of the boss ghost, and admired it.
“What else is this… .”
He poured out all his magical energy and passed out.
He was worried that he might have fallen without being able to catch it, but the phrase that came to mind relieved him.
[You have cleared the Haunted Forest (B).]
He got on the Hanshiha horse and threw a ghost lamp at Adela.
If the size of a regular lamp is not fit in one hand, this was a miniature level.
The mysterious magic you can feel there.
Adela’s eyes widened when she sensed that more magical power was condensed inside than she had expected.
He threw out a quiet word.
“Hidden Item.”
“Hidden… Item?”
“No way.”
“Nonsense.”
Adela, Natalie, and Won all three looked in disbelief.
Usher also tilted her head.
I had a feeling I was looking for something.
It’s nothing else, it’s a hidden item.
“Does it really exist?”
The fact that hidden items exist in some dungeons has been previously described in the textbook.
However, everyone thought that it was just a theory and that it was not applied in practice.
It was because there were almost no cases of finding such a hidden item while running through numerous dungeons.
Especially in dungeons with only B rank.
In order to discover hidden items, you must meet difficult conditions.
If Han Si-ha hadn’t taken off her eye mask, if she hadn’t sensed the subtle streak of light.
If I hadn’t noticed that it was a hidden item.
It had been found with that minute probability through all the numerous IFs.
So, it’s hard to believe.
“But really… .”
Adela glanced at the lamp slowly, admiring it.
“I can feel the magic of several dozen times.”
“What are you talking about?”
“The color is different from the existing Haunted Forest lamp, and it has a different energy.”
As they know, the original clear reward was not this.
“I’m serious?”
“That’s right.”
“really… Quite different, isn’t it?”
Adela had a great sense of magic.
Because of that, I was able to notice that something was different.
So I had no choice but to ask.
“How the hell did you find it?”
She shook her head and came up with a plausible answer.
Because I can’t say that I was determined and heard that I was looking for that. An answer that can be skipped roughly… .
A bold word came out of his mouth.
“persimmon… .”
A cold silence prevailed.
Han Shiha apologized quickly.
“Oh sorry.”
“Catch him.”

Finally, the day of evaluation has come.
Professor Grint’s classroom was filled with sadness.
Everyone felt it during the first midterm evaluation, but he was never the type of person who gave the score leisurely.
Therefore, it was obvious that this group assignment would be graded more rigorously than anyone else.
Professor Grint showed up, tidying up the fit of the suit.
The students who were seated in groups looked at him and swallowed their saliva.
Professor Grint grabbed the students’ attention by clapping.
“Now, let’s see your results.”
At the words of Professor Grint, the expressions of the students were completely different.
From a group of people with their backs straight, whether they brought a confident result, or people with their heads lowered as if they failed to clear the dungeon at all.
Hanshiha looked around with a blank expression on her face.
Professor Grint went to the scan as well.
He whimpered and walked around the classroom.
And the candid rhetoric of Professor Grint began.
The first victim was the 3rd group who brought the frog eyeballs from the C-grade dungeon.
“Why did you pick up the frog’s eyeballs?”
“this… It’s a pretty important item. It is said that it is good for the body if you put it in a hot water and boil it.”
“So did you eat?”
“Yes, I ate with my friends.”
“… I don’t think it’s good for you.”
“Yes?”
“Even if you eat it, you look stupid, so it doesn’t seem to work.”
like that
Hanshiha let out a sigh and clicked her tongue.
Professor Grint sighed and headed to Group 4.
“Hmm, then let’s look forward to this group.”
It looked like they had attacked a B-grade dungeon.
As you can see while running, the B-grade dungeon is not as easy to attack as you think.
Still, the harsh criticism continued.
“Only a rope? Let the student explain what the rope is used for.”
“yes… ?”
“Are you using it to dry fish?”
“It’s not… .”
The blushing student started to make up for it belatedly.
It’s a rope with some kind of binding magic on it.
It was an item that could be used in battle, but it didn’t seem like it was filled in Professor Grint’s eyes.
However, fortunately, there were no criticisms.
“I can only look at you.”
“Huh… .”
Group 4 I can hear the relief of my friends up to here.
Won lowered his voice as he turned to Han Si-ha.
“Isn’t the mood today a joke? Aren’t we going to be like that too?”
“I can’t.”
Han Shiha firmly shook her head and corrected her posture.
At least, I was confident in the result. If there’s a key, it’s Joe.
Professor Grint’s steps stopped in front of Team 1.
Unlike other groups, which usually consist of three or four people, a group with only two people sitting.
If the one they attacked is an A-grade dungeon, the story is different.
“Is this a witch’s lodge?”
“You two broke it?”
“Wow, too… .”
“The two aces met.”
Lee Han, the protagonist of Seulcademy, and Solia, the wizard of light.
It is a team that anyone can see is the strongest combination.
It was also strategic to choose a dark-type dungeon that best suited Solia’s compatibility, and it was surprising that they went through an A-grade dungeon that required collaboration alone.
Like the difficulty of the dungeon where the sound of gasps came out, the reward was considerable.
A witch’s A-class potion set.
Expensive potions were placed on the table, even at the market price.
Professor Grint smiled for the first time and looked at them happily.
“I want to commend you for clearing this dungeon.”
“Thank you professor!”
“It wouldn’t have been easy, especially with the two of us.”
Even the soft eyes that aren’t like Professor Grint.
The 3rd group, who had been hit with dust before, had an unfair expression on their face.
Still, everyone had to admit it.
“Everyone applaud.”
“Wow!”
“Lee Han! Solia!”
“Great!”
The group applauded and praised the two people who perfectly cleared the A-grade dungeon.
Professor Grint took a step back with a satisfied look on his face.
“I see quite a few talented people. Come on, then.”
bum bum.
Next, Professor Grint, who scored group 2, stood in front of group 5 last.
Siha Han, Adela, Natalie, and Won.
In fact, this was the group I was really looking forward to.
especially Hanshiha. He was also a talented person who caught the attention of Professor Grint after the last Magang War.
Originally, he was good at hiding my feelings, but this time, Professor Grint could not hide his expectations.
“here is… There are a lot of friends who are watching the fortress.”
Won raised his head with a nervous expression.
Professor Grint looked at the students with twinkling eyes, then stopped.
“What dungeon did Joe clear here?”
“It’s a haunted forest, Professor.”
Haunted Forest?
“Uh… .”
When Professor Grint heard the name of the dungeon, a look of disappointment spread across his face.
Haunted Forest (Rank B).
Although it was a dungeon that could be difficult compared to the grade due to mental attacks, it was true that we expected a higher difficulty dungeon with this member composition.
Professor Grint put his back on his back and glanced at the table quickly.
“So what items did you bring?”
If it is a haunted forest, quite a lot of items are given as a reward.
Haunted fountain pen, luminous lamp that comes out when you kill a boss, a horse in the hut, etc.
There were so many things to bring, but for some reason the table top was empty.
The moment I was thinking strangely, Siha Han took out a small lamp carefully.
“Professor, this is it.”
“Um?”
what?
Professor Grint doubted his own eyes.
It is significantly smaller than a typical light emitting lamp and has a soft red light.
It was a visual I had never seen in the dungeon manual.
“Did something like this happen?”
Professor Grint spit out his thoughts in bewilderment.
On the surface, it is a shame in itself.
Did you decide not to clear the dungeon? So, did you pick up salt instead of an official lamp?
For a brief moment, complex thoughts ran through my head.
The other students laughed at the same thought, and I heard them laughing all the way up to this point.
“What is that?”
“Is that the only Haunted Forest item?”
“Did you leave everything else out and pick up something like that?”
“Hey, didn’t you pick it up because it was cute? I’m going to die of laughter.”
The miniature size that fits in one hand is just right.
Adela frowned at the sound of scoffing that it was for ornamental purposes.
Say whatever you want to talk about.
Anyway, Professor Grint believed that he would appreciate the item soon enough.
Professor Grint tilted his head and slowly lifted the small lamp.
That was the moment.
“What is this… .”
sting.
Professor Grint was startled when he sensed the magical power rising from his fingertips.
It is Professor Grint who has raised the sensitivity of magic to the highest level through decades of training.
As for him, none of the professors of the Ardel Academy could follow him.
On the contrary, I was able to notice it right away.
This… It is a collection of magical powers.
It was the magic of a century that could not be emitted from a normal lamp.
“no way.”
“It’s a hidden item, Professor.”
At Si-Ha Han’s words, the classroom froze.
* * *
“It’s a hidden item.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“I heard you. It was in the practical science book I saw last time.”
“No, anyway, it’s only coming out of a B-grade dungeon? Does it make sense?”
“Really? Did you find a hidden item?”
“Hey, if there’s Adela and Siha Han… Isn’t that a possibility?”
“Even if the dean comes, I can’t find it, you idiot.”
At first, everyone was skeptical.
However, the students who saw Professor Grint’s expression were very upset.
If what they said was wrong, it was Professor Grint who would have resolutely uttered his venom.
Yet nothing was said.
“no way. Maybe it’s real… ?”
“Nonsense.”
“No way.”
No one can easily determine.
Everyone wants to believe that, but I’m sorry.
Adela stared at the chattering children and waited for Professor Grint to say a word.
‘You probably didn’t know.’
The value of that item.
‘So, please. Tell me please.’
tuk.
Contrary to Adela’s wishes, Professor Grint returned to the church with his mouth firmly shut.
Won opened his eyes and bit his nails.
“What, why are we passing?”
“Isn’t it a big deal?”
No, it won’t be like that.
Hanshiha calmly shook her head.
what are you thinking
“Come on then.”
Professor Grint looked back slowly at the students and took the chalk in his hand.
A calm voice came out with no meaning.
“I will announce the score right away.”
