I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy chapter 280

53. Shadows in the Wind (1)

The first-year students tried to start the attack after carefully analyzing the phenomenon of the persona, but it was impossible because Ryuderic opened his mouth.

“Something is coming.”

Ryu Derek and Bandi Yeon, who had already finished analyzing the phenomenon, slowly retreated.

‘My level of analysis is about 79%.’

This is a fairly high level of analytical power. Even if the analysis level is over 50%, the ‘guideline message’ can be received from the gate, so the attack rate rises exponentially.

The second graders who took a step back did not take their eyes off the first graders.

Most of the analysis of the phenomenon was stopped because of a wave of magical power, but like the elite students of Class A, only three remained and continued the analysis, and the rest divided their roles in such a way that they were vigilant about their surroundings.

‘In the meantime, Baek Yu-seol… …

Ruderick frowned.

‘What are you doing?’

Maybe he did an analysis of the phenomenon, but he just stared blankly into the air.

“uh? me, that… !”

At that moment, one of the students shouted and pointed a stick into the air.

hee hee hee hee…

A pure blue, translucent ghost crossed the road and disappeared.

“It’s a ghost… … ?”

“Is ghost hunting the theme?”

“Hey, crazy! What should I do.”

“Wake! You have learned enough about how to deal with ghost-type monsters!”

Necromancers, such as undead, skeletons, or zombies, learn enough about how to deal with summoned objects at the magic school, and practice it to some extent.

However, ghost-type monsters that have no substance at all rarely do such a practice, because it was technically impossible to implement.

Ghost monsters with spiritual abilities don’t even know why they are created.

Since it was still unknown until now, it was nothing more than a magician’s natural enemy, which had to be calculated mathematically.

In the distant past, it was said that wizards and shamans hunted ghosts, but in the modern era, when ghosts have almost disappeared, sorcerers and shamans also disappear together, and if a ghost appears once, the entire city is often shaken. .

The students were terrified to see such a ghost group appear, but Ryuderic snorted from behind.

‘Stupid freshmen. It’s not really like that.’

Soon after, the students who were conducting the phenomenon analysis also noticed something, their eyes wide open and said.

“for a moment! wait. This, the theme here isn’t like ghost hunting… .”

Then, a fox’s cry echoes from afar.

The students hurriedly backed away and looked up at the sky.

A black sky, a giant full moon of silver color floating like a tray.

With its back on it, a nine-tailed nine-tailed fox was screaming toward the sky.

“Crazy, I thought you were a wolf… …

“You’re a nine-tailed fox worse than a wolf! Wake!”

“Guy, how should I deal with the nine-tailed fox?”

“I don’t know. However, since it is classified as a monster, you need to strengthen your mental powers.”

“The sound of the nine-tailed fox’s cry has the effect of letting the spirit flow. Concentrate!”

Eventually, the students who had finished analyzing the phenomenon got up from their seats and waved a magic circle in the air, and a ‘guideline message’ appeared, and finally the true theme of this place was understood.

[Shadows cast by the wind]

[Many tales and legends are intertwined in the Pung Empire.]

[Some stories are so famous that everyone knows them.]

[No one knows the story.]

[Here is a sad story that no one knows about.]

[Please, find the one forgotten story in the world and unravel the circle.]

After listening to the guideline message, the students stared blankly into the air for a moment with puzzled expressions.

“Seo, it’s Seolhwa… … ?”

“okay. It’s a fairy tale.”

Hong Bi-yeon interrupted the students’ conversation for the first time.

“The entire capital of the Pung Empire has been turned into a set of fairy tales. It seems that the story is set by region. The rooftop of the building over there is like the legend of a nine-tailed fox. Each of us must disperse and find the story.”

“Come on, wait. scattered? Isn’t it dangerous?”

“danger? Moving together is more dangerous. The longer we stay here and the more we are encroached on our persona, the more disadvantaged we are the wizards. The only answer is to finish it as soon as possible.”

Lyuderik nodded in agreement with her words.

“That’s right. Since the city is very large, it is inefficient to move all together. There are 12 members in total, so let’s work in groups of 4 in pairs.”

But Bi-yeon Heung shook her head.

“no. Divide into 2 groups of 5 people each. I will work with common people.”

“What? Wait a minute! No matter how strong you are, two are dangerous.”

“right. Besides, you don’t know the exact goal yet. Moving together until we figure out the true ending… .”

When the students protested, Hong Bi-yeon made them shut their mouths by staring at them. They must have red eyes that burn hotter than the sun, but why does it feel colder than ice?

“Ah Okay.”

“I don’t know who the real nine-tailed fox is… .”

“Shh. I will hear you.”

In the end, the students were divided into three groups according to Hong Bi-yeon’s words, even though they grumbled.

“Ruderick. I will follow the 1st. Where are you going?”

As Bandi-yeon pointed to the five students and spoke, Ryu Derek looked at Baek Yu-seol and the other five students alternately.

“I will follow the Baek Yu-seol team from behind. It would be more appropriate to assist the one with fewer people.”

“Yeah then. See you later.”

At Ryu’s words, Hong Bi-yeon glanced at him, but did not interfere with the decision of the second-year senior.

Because the relationship between seniors and juniors within Stellar was a thorough top-down relationship.

“Are you really going to go together?”

“Uh. no?”

In the end, Baek Yu-seol, who was separated from the party, looked at the other students with a very anxious expression.

It’s not that there are only two left, so it’s not that I’m worried, it’s that the other students are worried.

“I don’t know if they can do well.”

“commons.”

” ok?”

“They are not children either. One magic warrior cadet who doesn’t need you to protect me forever.”

“yes? you know that… … ?”

Hong Bi-yeon looked straight ahead and walked without looking at Baek Yu-seol’s face.

“These kids, we, I. It’s not something you have to protect. I want you to remember that.”

“Uh, uh… … okay.”

Because Hong Bi-yeon was talking too seriously, Baek Yu-seol did not respond in a playful way, as usual, but pretended to be.

‘What’s going on?’

Maybe it’s because of her tone of voice or her personality, because Hong Bi-yeon always seemed to be under low pressure all 365 days a year, so it was difficult to figure out how she was feeling right now.

‘Well, it doesn’t look particularly bad… …

As a result of observing Hong Bi-yeon for half a year, it can be said that she looks quite happy now.

“Upset.”

I guess it wasn’t

“what?”

“You’re chasing that senior from behind.”

Baek Yu-seol glanced at Ryu Derek who was following him from thirty steps away.

“Senior is a teaching assistant. I can’t help it. Besides, you’re also doing the rear perimeter boundary instead? It’s strong and it’s good.”

Like a sophomore, Ryu Derek pulled out his wand and hid himself and was vigilant in all directions, but for Baek Yu-seol, he was only grateful for his actions in blocking the threat from behind, but it was not for Hong Bi-yeon.

“just… …

Hesitatingly, lips not like Hong Bi-yeon

It was sweet and I was trying to say something, but suddenly I felt a chill and stopped walking.

“Wait a minute.”

Baek Yu-seol took out his teriphone sword and emitted light. A beautiful white sword was revealed and softly lit the surroundings. In addition, Hong Bi-yeon floated a white flame in the air, but suddenly a blue flame appeared and swallowed it and disappeared.

“••••••what?”

Hong Bi-yeon bit her lip as her flame went out.

“It’s a goblin fire. It is difficult to deal with as it is a monster that has a will to the flame itself. It’s better to turn around and avoid it.”

Hong Bi-yeon nodded in affirmation to his words.

“Come this way.”

As we got out of the road that crossed the city center and entered the alley, this time, translucent pumpkin-like things were floating in the air, and the orange light began to spread in all directions.

“That’s•••••••

“Ignore it. There’s a pumpkin ghost nearby. Little guys don’t hurt people, so it’s okay to overdo it.”

Baek Yu-seol took Hong Bi-yeon’s hand and led her.

“Come on, wait… … Why are you in such a hurry?”

“It’s dangerous when a big guy appears. Have you ever heard of the pumpkin-haired killer ‘Wolly’ ghost?”

M••••••When young ⁹⁹

“He’s a scythe aiming at the neck. It’s better to get out of the way because you could die if you look away.”

As he frantically grabbed Heungbi-yeon and dragged it, the alley disappeared and a slum with a dim shadow appeared.

“Let’s set a direction here for a moment and move on.”

When I scanned the surroundings with straight-faced glasses, there was not a single place that looked particularly low-risk.

“Wait here for a while, and when the story moves, let’s move on.”

“Hey, princess?”

“Oh yeah. I am listening.”

Maybe he was dragging him too hastily?

“Is the fairy tale moving?”

“I think so. They are moving in a line that does not invade their respective domains. I don’t know what the original and goal story is, but it must be hard to find.”

As Baek Yu-seol was quietly speaking, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, she asked.

“… … commons. have you been here

uh?”

“yes? no. No way.”

“But how do you know so well?”

“We analyzed the phenomenon.”

“okay••••••

The phenomenon analysis was also done by Hong Bi-yeon. However, it just doesn’t look as good as the white rumor.

‘By the way, where the hell is this?’

Although the wavelength of the ghost’s ghost amulet was constantly being detected by the straight-headed glasses, the exact location could not be determined.

“Let’s go over there for now. wait a minute

There is space.”

In the first place, the analysis of the phenomenon of this persona was finished long ago and he had some sense of how to attack it, but for Baek Yoo Seol, finding the whereabouts of the amulet was more urgent than that.

‘Without that, I can’t turn Anella back into a human.’

Almost no eyes could see anyway. Baek Yu-seol moved faster and faster on the shortest route without any hesitation.

When a useless story came out, I skipped it lightly, found a shortcut in an instant and crossed my wife, and a dangerous legend was born.

He chose the method of ignoring it without dealing with it even if it appeared.

“Wait, aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”

“why?”

“You didn’t even check the story properly.”

“This is the Janghwa Hongryeon Snow Flower. With a grudge that my older sister and younger brother drowned in a pond… .”

“..not like that.”

Hong Bi-yeon bit her lip slightly and opened her mouth with difficulty as if she was saying something she didn’t want to say.

“Just a little bit slowly and carefully.

let’s go east It’s okay though.”

Baek Yu-seol felt a little strange at her words.

For Hong Bi-yeon, who is crazy about scores and grades, it would be better to cross the shortcut like this and get to the destination quickly. If you clear the Persona Gate quickly, you will get additional points.

The words carefully and slowly did not suit her well.

So it is questionable.

“There is nothing wrong with being in a hurry. only me

Trust me, there’s nothing dangerous. You know that.”

Since Baek Yu-seol had already shown many aspects to Hong Bi-yeon, he did not intend to hide his knowledge of straight-faced glasses any longer. Because I trusted her.

All you have to do is trust and follow as usual. If he did that, he was confident that he would give Hong Bi-yeon what she wanted.

“… … there’s no reason.”

“What? Then isn’t it better to be fast?”

“no. You don’t know anything.”

After saying that, Hong Bi-yeon stood up.

I’ve always hardened… … The appearance was quite unfamiliar, so Baek Yu-seol was unable to continue his words.

It was as if the grass had died, and the energy seemed to have run out.

Baek Yu-seol couldn’t say anything, but approached her and said:

“okay. Let’s go slowly. Carefully.”

“If there is a stone bridge, try tapping it a little. If there is a door, try knocking.”

At those words, Hong Bi-yeon said to Baek Yu-seol as if it were absurd.

“You don’t have to do that.”

However, as if she was feeling much better than before, she could feel a clear and bright aura on her face.

It’s strange.

In the past, it was really difficult to distinguish that expression that was always the same, as if wearing a mask, but now it’s easier to figure out how you’re feeling just from the atmosphere on your face.

“let’s go. Slowly, carefully.”
