I Killed the Academy Player chapter 11

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Grimoire of the Great Library (1)

Merkava Academy has a student cafeteria for students. so-called learning.

Originally, learning is at the level of student welfare, so the price is cheap, but the taste is just mediocre, and the menu is the same every day, but this place is on a different level.

First of all, the material is good.

I don’t know where it comes from, but I use good ingredients, from potatoes to corn, rice, flour, and meat.

There was a period when the delivery destination changed or the quality of the ingredients dropped dramatically, but the academy basically used good ingredients.

Best of all is the food culture of this world.

“As expected… Learning is pork cutlet.”

I don’t know why pork cutlets exist in the world of fantasy games.

Well, there is something else about pork cutlet in a yard with kimchi that says it came from the Eastern Continent.

What is that, it must be something similar to the kimono and Japan that come out all the time in a different world across the water.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you eating?”

Crispy fried food and heavy meat are passed over the rice, but the Lark boy doesn’t even lift a fork with a trembling expression.

“From the story of Grimoire…”

“Shh! What if someone hears it? Lower your voice.”

“Mi-sorry…”

Lark timidly cringes. I opened my mouth only after he lifted a fork and took a bite of pork cutlet.

“This is what my uncle, who was a student here, told me about…”

-Basaiaak.

Tenderly chewy fried batter. I feel that you are tense enough.

“He was a student at Merkava Academy. But you know the library, right? That’s the first library.”

– nod

“There is a secret space hidden there, and Grimoire is hidden in that secret space.”

“That, Grimoire… is that the Grimoire I know?”

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Grimoire. Simply put, it is a skill book.

A powerful monster that can acquire a specific magic or characteristic just by reading it.

Is it justified for players to learn all sorts of skills and spells with different systems and tendencies?

Even if Grimoire reads it, it is traded at a high price because it acquires the ability and loses its efficacy. The price of a single house is ridiculous.

“Gu-can I get it? Where is it? If only I could read that…!”

It was natural for Lark to roll his eyes. So far, I’ve only saved ‘orders’, because I haven’t been able to use them.

This is also connected to the magician’s intuition, and even if you understand the theory, you must also understand the spell intuitively in order to complete the magic.

Imagination and the realization of it by weaving mana is almost a realm of instinct.

But Grimoir is forced to acquire that instinctive understanding.

Even ordinary people who do not have magical powers can memorize spells by reading Grimoire. I can’t express it because I don’t have magic power.

“Yes, I know the secret library in the library where Grimoire is.”

“Well, why are you telling me that?”

Oh, now you’ve recovered your cool and ask normal questions. Yeah, I’ll have to convince them about why I brought up this good story.

“Do you know I’m a knight?”

“Uh… I see.”

“There are two Grimoirs that my uncle told me about. One has spells written on it, and the other has characteristics written on it.”

“Me, really?”

“Sure. But my magic level is low, so I can’t use it anyway even if I learn the spell. That means I don’t need one.”

“Well, can you still sell it?”

“How? How can a student contact you like a black market? If you ask how you got it? If you don’t answer properly, only Grimoire will be taken away.”

If you walk around the back alleys wearing a necklace overflowing with jewels, of course you’ll be killed and robbed.

Above all, another person is indispensable in order to make the special magic spirit next to Grimoire reach Buddhahood.

“One for you and one for me. I think this is a fair deal.”

“I don’t understand. What do you want from me?”

Indeed, the theory is a quick effort. You will notice this much.

“There are two conditions. One is to possess the demon instead of me. I need help to defeat the demon.”

“That, that’s anyone…”

I cut him off and said the second condition.

“The second is to sign an oath of contract.”

“… I guess it can’t be anything other than a magician.”

“That’s it.”

It’s a short-term contract that only magicians can do, and if the magician doesn’t keep the contract, he loses all his magical powers immediately.

“But… there are a lot of professors and other students in the Faculty of Magic. Why me?”

“It’s foolish to make a deal with professors. Power and status are not equal. What if you subdue me and force me to blow?”

“Ah… then what about the other students?”

“It’s highly likely that he hasn’t mastered the contract magic itself.”

Contract magic isn’t difficult magic, but it’s hard to find students who have mastered it because they don’t have to learn this hideous contract magic. But–

“It’s different if you have Memorize.”

“······Can we just learn contract magic with Memorize and use it right away?”

“That’s it.”

This is the strength of Memorize. Memorize allows you to instantly use spells stored in your spellbook.

I don’t know if it’s a high-ranking spell, but if it’s a low-difficulty magic, just understand it with your intuition and use it.

“First of all, contract magic…”

“I know. I saved it a while ago. I also relayed the contract with Alba.”

“Oh~ Then the story is fast.”

“Tell me the terms of the contract.”

“Let’s go simple so we don’t get tired of each other.”

* * * *

Lac and I headed to the library located in the center of the school.

The library at Merkava Academy boasts a scale as large as the size of the school.

Rather than a library, it was built in a splendid architectural style reminiscent of an ancient temple. In fact, it also served as a shrine.

Wouldn’t the building site and size be about this if you add about 4 high schools in the district?

“Big, big…”

Lark swallowed his saliva as if overwhelmed by the size of the Great Library.

“How many books are there in here?”

“I heard that there are about 8 million books including the basement.”

“Pa, eight million…”

The scale is so big that it doesn’t feel realistic, and Lark can’t keep talking behind his back.

“Why did they build such a large library in the middle of the school? Except for the students and professors, they can’t even enter the academy.”

“There are probably three of them.”

“Three?”

“The purpose of building the Great Library of Merkava is also written. To preserve the knowledge of mankind and pass it on to future generations.”

“······That’s a bit obvious profit.”

“From the second time on, it’s not. Isn’t it to tie the professors to the academy? There’s no environment like this to find research materials.”

“ah······.”

Less than half of the work of professors is teaching students. The real thing is research and paper presentation.

For professors, there is probably no more attractive environment than the Merkava Academy.

“Then what about the third?”

“eyewash.”

“eyewash?”

“Hiding Grimoire, forbidden books, and sealed books with an overwhelming collection.”

If you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest.

Sophisticated and simple That’s why it’s a difficult way to respond.

How will you find the ‘book you want’ hidden in the 8 million books?

but i can Because I knew the secret that even the first-class librarians here didn’t know, through the game and through the previous rounds.

I entered Merkava 1st Library with the admiring Lark.

“Welcome. What book are you looking for?”

One of the librarians greeted us at the front door.

“I’m looking for a book related to Merkava City’s specialties. What is that… isn’t it called Michelin?”

“Ah~ Let’s see if it’s that book…”

Senior librarian rummaging through the parchment with recorded magic engraved on it. He soon found the list.

“You’ll find it on the 3rd floor, area L32, 2nd row. Ladders are located next to the stairs on each floor, so feel free to use them.”

As the librarian said, I climbed the stairs and walked through the vast Merkava Great Library.

I used to come here often to research materials with Park Si-hoo, who was in the magic department. I also read about rune magic here.

In a corner where I couldn’t even feel the popularity, I told Lark, who was following me.

“This way.”

“Yes······.”

In exchange for giving Lark a copy of Grimoire, the deal itself is not disclosed. It is a simple condition.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Near the secret library we arrived at. I left Lark on standby and rummaged through the bookshelves.

‘Should I fulfill my duty?’

enough data was obtained. It’s a side quest that can meet the minimum conditions only after leveling up for a while, but if it’s me now, I can break it right away.

How to open the secret library is information that cannot be obtained without prior quests.

It’s also a way to get it by cracking a code in a fairly serious game.

The cipher itself is classic. Pulling out books and putting them in designated locations to complete the password.

In the game, it worked with a few clicks, but I had a lot of trouble solving it in the previous round.

– Dripping…!

I didn’t even touch the bookshelf, but it was pushed and the door of the library was revealed.

“Let’s go in.”

“Huh? Uh, yes!”

Lac and I quickly stood up and went inside before anyone could see.

* * * *

“Ugh, it’s creepy…”

The inside was suffocatingly empty, but there was no ventilation. Unlike Lark, I didn’t feel that way.

In other words, the chill that Lark is feeling is due to the demonic spirit here.

“lakh.”

“huh?”

“It’s time to keep our promise.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Huh? That… you mean to help exterminate demons?

– Puck!

A technical punch hit him in the jaw, and Lark’s eyes rolled and he fell to the floor.

Dragging the fainted guy into the secret library.

In the secret library, as seen in the previous episode, there is a bookshelf with two books in it, and those two books are the reward for the side quest.

In fact, to complete this quest, you need a significant level and well-trained party members.

If it’s not a certain level, you can’t even withstand the first attack of the special magic spirit sealed here.

············

Even though it’s already been more than two minutes since we entered the secret library, Rak and I didn’t get any attacks.

Astral bodies can interfere under mutual recognition. Since Lark passed out, of course, his cognitive power dropped to 0, and I couldn’t recognize the spiritual body due to the duty of the precepts.

In other words, it’s time for me to talk unilaterally.

“Stop the violence!”

The demon must have stopped.

maybe······.

What if it doesn’t stop
