I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy chapter 186

186

72. Containment(4)

The capital of Adolevit, Tehalan, is also quite famous as a tourist destination.

It was because you could see the ‘Frost Cliff Palace’ from anywhere on the street, but just looking at the huge palace towering over the sharply cut cliff with the background in the distance

It made me feel overwhelmingly oppressed.

It was definitely a nice city.

Sitting in an outdoor cafe on the street, sipping a drink, and looking at the palace in the distance, I thought it was very elegant.

The streets of Tehalan reminded me of London in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The gray sky and buildings, including the dull black train passing through the city, ladies and gentlemen in suits.

Sherlock Holmes in the back alley right now.

It’s like jumping out and chasing the killer Jack the Ripper with Watson.

Now, if you ask me what I’m going to do here, of course, I’m going to infiltrate that palace first.

Of course, to sneak into that dignified palace by believing in only one blink is suicidal.

Although I don’t have mana in my body, my experience so far is that mages will detect the mana reaction immediately when I use Blink, so it will be detected by the guard system.

But how to infiltrate the Seori Palace?

It’s not always about being secretive and criminal.

The moral and legal way… … .

For example, how about becoming a ‘Gungin’ myself?

Now, the remaining summer vacation is less than two or three weeks, and I have to bring Hong Bi-yeon out of it. Becoming a royal may feel like it’s just too short and unpredictable, but for me, it’s easier than I thought.

Because there were ‘Jikbakguri Glasses’ that were meticulously recorded about the many events currently taking place.

First, I looked for the most famous trader in Tahalen, ‘Thousand Lies’.

“Well? Stella’s student. What have you been up to here?”

“hello.”

The office of the Thousand Li Company was more like a factory than an office. When dozens of wagons as large as trucks were waiting, the men who loaded and unloaded them would pick up their luggage and load them.

I intervened there.

“Recently, I’ve heard that Antaryl Euler’s technicians are in short supply. I’m really good at dealing with Antaryl Euler, so can I help you?”

Even though I said so proudly.

“What do you mean? Antaryl Euler engineers abound. That friend over there is an engineer you won’t be able to hit, but there are a lot of technicians out there, so I’m running up and down right now.”

it’s a failure

It is natural because straight-brick glasses are not universal.

Of course, it was not clearly marked when, where, where, and what event would occur, and I had no choice but to move toward a different future due to numerous butterfly effects occurring all over the world depending on my actions.

Of course, I didn’t think that one attempt would be successful.

Since then, I have been looking all over the city of Tahalen.

Newspapers, arms dealers, magic tools stores, etc.

In the midst of repeated failures, I finally found the place where I was in trouble as it was written on my straight glasses.

‘Sunset Bookstore’

A bookstore, in fact, a publishing house, this place was one of the suppliers that continued to provide books to the Adolevit royal family.

But recently, a problem arose.

Books that have already been supplied to the royal family must not be re-supplied until a separate request is made, so they must be thoroughly checked and managed.

It wouldn’t be a problem if the librarian simply ran away, but

It’s a completely messed up situation, so it’s hard to meet the deadline.

“I’m still arranging things like this.”

“..okay? Well, give it a try.”

The bookstore manager didn’t seem to believe me, but he hired me as a part-time job, probably because Stella’s mark had quite a lot of power.

And, he vomited the spirit of tidying up in one day.

“Uh, how… … ?”

“I hit a little.”

The paperwork itself wasn’t really a big deal. Although it is a laborious method, the documents are organized and collected one by one and then read one by one. Of course, I’m not reading it, I’m making my glasses read it.

Then, after having the straight glasses, which stored the contents of all the documents, sort them one after the other in order, I only had to collect them according to them.

The portion was so huge that I had to skip meals all day, but thanks to me, Sunset Bookstore was able to successfully deliver books to Adolevit, so it was worthwhile.

“This is fine. I still needed someone to buy it and fill the vacancy. Did you say you work during summer break? We’re going to deliver books to the royal family the day after tomorrow, so let’s go together. It would be a big help if you could help me clean up.”

Of course, no one was allowed to enter the palace and had to have a sufficiently secured identity, but what was the usual status of Stella’s student ID?

It’s not great compared to the royal family, but it was enough to be called a ‘first-class citizen’, so there was no problem in simply entering and leaving.

If you’ve come this far, you’re half way there.

I haven’t become a royal court yet, but if my plan goes, maybe… … .

“Oh, did the three of you organize this?”

“haha. Are you surprised? But what’s even more surprising is that the two of us didn’t do anything and this student did it all by himself.”

At sunset, the librarian at the Royal Library lit up as the bookstore manager shivered and patted my back.

“Hey, did you say part-time job? You have great eye wit and memory. His personality is also very meticulous and delicate.”

“thank you.”

“By the way, I guess the caretaker was sick with a terrible flu… …

The librarian said, pretending to be paying attention.

“I’ll give you plenty of money, so how about working only during the summer?”

As I expected, no, it was the strategy written on the straight-faced glasses.

The custodian of the Royal Library lacked his hands due to a chronic illness, and in the meantime, a competent librarian appeared… … Where are you going to leave without hiring?

“Yes. Sure.”

So, I was able to successfully work in Seori Palace.

Just because I got to work at the palace didn’t mean I could meet Hong Bi-yeon right away. Because my role was limited to that of the librarian in charge of the Royal Library, and even third-class books that were not classified as top-secret.

I’m not a citizen of Adolevit, I’m just

It was impossible to even read second-class books, such as the national magic book, because he had been on a trip.

That didn’t mean there wasn’t anything to do. Rather, there were so many that I went crazy.

The Royal Library was such a mess that it made the essential question of whether the caretaker had been away for quite some time or whether people could actually sort it out, and it took over a week to sort it out, even because it was so unnecessarily large.

“Are you really putting this together? That’s great.”

“Hey, librarian. Is that kid the kid you mentioned?”

“Because it is. Awesome?”

“ Home Home•••••••

Even that was not enough, aristocrats in the administrative positions of administrators who came to hear the rumors began to pay attention to me.

I wished that the librarian would stop him, but unfortunately he had no power.

“Well, can you help me when you have time? I have a mountain of paperwork, but it’s hard to organize them all.”

“… … Yes.”

I was planning on staying quiet as a simple librarian. He was called around to do administrative work.

I wasn’t an Adolevit citizen, I wasn’t a noble, I wasn’t even an official royal servant, so I don’t know what I believe in doing that.

Seriously, considering the Republic of Korea Army, which took and rolls street boksils as long as there is a corner to use, this is about half the amount.

Still, these things weren’t too bad. He was not an official royal

I was able to get close to noble courtiers, especially the maids, and they were so sensitive to rumors that they could hear the inside story of the royal family.

“Did you hear me? This time, Her Majesty the Queen is going on vacation with the Lords of the Gongs?”

“Of course I heard. You’re going to the ‘Coast of Lévian’.”

“Hey, what do you mean it’s a vacation?”

Through the stories the maids shared, I was convinced that this was the case as I knew it.

[Extra Episode]

[Adolevit’s Holiday]

This is an extra episode, not the main episode.

But I’m sure I’ve said it before. The existence of ‘Twelve Crescent’, which is presumed to be the most important keyword to lead this world to the correct ending, is rarely encountered in the main episode, and can only be met through an extra story.

for that reason… I dare say that this episode is more important than any other story so far.

On the coast of Levian, where winter never ends, the twelfth lunar month, the bronze lunar month (靑冬 十三月) is sleeping.

‘I didn’t know I was going to be doing this already, but… …

But in the end, the December New Moon is a fate that must one day meet.

It doesn’t feel like it’s too early, but anyway, since the situation is like this, we should do our best.

“… … Princess. sorry.”

With her lips closed, Hong Bi-yeon silently listened to the bodyguard, Goterin.

Since he was young, Goteran, who has always spent time in the same space, is Hong Bi-yeon’s best friend and protector.

Even in this terrible palace where everyone was hostile to me, I was the only one I could trust.

Such Goterin was sent out.

Isn’t that absurd indeed? Sending out the princess’s escort? However, it is impossible to overturn the matter as it was directly approved by Queen Hong Se-ryu.

Even at the last moment of packing up and leaving, Goterin could not hide her sad eyes.

It was Hong Bi-yeon who would have said a few words if it were normal, but today she was especially heavy and couldn’t say anything.

“Princess… …

Even though Goterin called, Bi-yeon Hong did not answer. no i couldn’t

All. If I open my mouth here, I don’t think I’ll ever know what I’m going to say.

She slowly approached Hong Bi-yeon and whispered softly.

“Princess, even without me… … The princess will do well. The princess I’ve seen was one who never collapsed and went straight ahead.”

“please… … I promise that I will return to finish the mission quickly and protect the princess again.”

After saying that, Goterin stepped back, and only then Hong Bi-yeon had no choice but to nod her head.

I didn’t cry again.

Still, there was a lot of snow to see here.

‘You must not be weak.’

You should always show your strength. If you show your weakness, you will quickly look down on you.

I am at the top of the food chain, but at the same time I am the prey of all predators.

After Goterin left, Hong Bi-yeon’s call

The position of the crisis officer was replaced by another person. I didn’t know his name or identity, but he was certain of one thing.

‘He’s not on my side.’

The man, with his short haircut and a hard, cold impression, looked at Hong Bi-yeon with a not-so-desirable look.

It wasn’t a gaze he could dare send to the royal family, but he couldn’t touch it. he… Because it was the one the queen gave herself to.

… … It was night.

Hong Bi-yeon went out to the balcony with her underwear on and looked at the moonlight. Hwi Young-chung floating

The full moon on the right is just resentful.

What is it that makes you smile so brightly?

As I stared blankly at the sky, I remembered my older sister, who had long since left.

She lay on the hill with her sister, staring at the stars all the time.

‘Have you ever seen a meteor shower?’

At that time, I shook my head.

‘At the time when the sun is completely asleep, we say goodbye to today and face the sky.’

It was past midnight.

There was no one looking for me, so even if I climbed the hill of dawn with my sister, no one stopped me.

‘On a sunny day with no clouds, I lay down on a mat… … Put all the sky in your arms like this. As long as you look at the meteor shower, you will be the most free in the world.’

… … Your sister was wrong.

I have become a being that can no longer be free. Yoo Seong-woo, what is important?

lonely, lonely, lonely

Because I knew that strange feeling of not being lonely.

Because I realized the feeling of being able to depend on and lean on someone.

This emotion penetrated Hong Bi-yeon’s heart even more fiercely.

No longer on her side inside the frost palace

There was no one to listen to.

The people who stood by my side also all left.

I’m alone.

Trapped in the palace alone.

I’ve been praying for the rest of my life.

it will wither like that

Hong Bi-yeon leaned her back on the balcony helplessly and closed her eyes. Being comforted by the pouring starlight…

‘ah.’

Then, suddenly, I felt something strange and not unfamiliar touch on my cheek.

I opened my eyes. He blankly wiped his cheek with his hand, but nothing happened.

‘This••••••

Looking back, it wasn’t the five senses. The sixth sense, that is, mana, had felt the familiar nostalgia.

Late at night when everyone is asleep.

Hong Bi-yeon quietly left the room and walked down the hallway.

Without knowing where he was heading, he followed that familiar scent.

walking. walking again

After passing through several corridors and exiting the palace, she was finally able to arrive at a place worthy of being called a destination.

It is… … It was a library.

Royal Library.

It was the first time since I entered Stella, so it was my first time coming to this place in half a year.

‘Hey, why… … ?’

Even she could not understand why she had come here, but she unintentionally opened the door to the library.

I thought it would be locked at dawn, but strangely, the door was open.

profit… !

The old, unglazed gate opened, revealing the interior of the library. The smell of books vibrated, but not bad.

It didn’t feel popular. However, I checked that the light was on inside the library, so I carefully took out my wand and headed there.

Immediately after, a loud noise is heard.

Kudang! Kuong!

“Uh-huh!”

It was the sound of something collapsing.

‘ what ••!’

Hong Bi-yeon hurriedly ran to the place where the noise was heard.

When they arrived, there were dozens of books scattered all over the bookshelf, and there was someone struggling with them.

“who-“

The moment I was about to ask who you are.

The boy jumped out through the book, revealing his face.

… … At that moment, Hong Bi-yeon’s heart almost stopped. He thought that this situation might be a dream, so he did not breathe involuntarily.

“Oh my, I’m dying… … . Rotten librarian, just go to work tomorrow… …

Baek Yu-seol, who was grumbling and trying to pick up the book, involuntarily averted his eyes, and met Hong Bi-yeon, who was staring blankly at him in the wind in his pajamas.

“uh

a moment of silence.

After that, he said with an awkward smile at Baek Yoo-seol.

“Heh heh… hey, don’t look at me and come and help me, don’t you? Neighbors are helping each other, isn’t it?”

dump!

“… huh?”

However, as Hong Bi-yeon sat down, Baek Yu-seol could not even finish her speech.

“Uh, how are you here… …

“Just, uh. a little. As a part-time job.”

he thumbs his back

pointed to

“Can you see it? That’s all I sorted out. no joke? I am also very good at this.”

Although he boasted hard at best, Hong Bi-yeon’s gaze didn’t even look at the place Baek Yu-seol was talking about.

He looked at him without even blinking, as if he would miss him if he took his eyes off him even for a moment.

“Part time job… Called……?”

“Is that so?”

“Huh, huh… …

she laughed But strangely, his expression was crying.

“lie… …

She bowed her head.

“It’s a lie, who knows… stupid commoner… …

“Khom! It’s not a lie. Even with a little bit of MSG added. The original instant food tastes good… .”

“..don’t look this way.”

“uh?”

Hong Bi-yeon covered her face with both hands. From then on, Baek Yu-seol was also genuinely embarrassed.

So I couldn’t speak properly. As if caught in an error, his lips did not come off properly.

I had no idea that she would react so violently, so Baek Yu-seol was really… … Couldn’t do anything.

The night was deep.

It was an exceptionally starry night.
