94 – How to fight and win against monsters (22) – Then I’ll tie you up!
13Th floor of Monster’s Tower.
This is a no-access area that is on a different level from the various dungeons scattered throughout Beatus Academy.
What is a monster?
Humans pose a threat to themselves, sometimes use magic, and call humans, demons, and other creatures monsters.
When the Empire built the Academy, this land was the home of monsters.
The stronger the creatures called ‘monsters’ by humans, the higher their intelligence. They demanded dialogue and negotiation from humans.
If you give me a better home than this land, I will gladly leave!
We have no intention of attacking humans!
We just want to live life like humans.
We only desire peace, friendship, and companionship with humans!
O emperor of an empire greater than the sun, which is higher than these high Berdiya Mountains! Please look down on us.
Please hear our request.
Powerful monsters with advanced intelligence have learned human language. Because I wanted to communicate with people.
After making thorough preparations, they went to a meeting prepared by the emperor and conveyed the opinions of each tribe.
The emperor listened to the monsters’ opinions and then spread his arms with a benevolent smile.
They were so moved that they bowed down to the grace of the merciful emperor.
Then a low voice came from the podium.
-Everyone, return to nothingness.
A huge holy spear flew out and pierced the bodies of the monsters.
My knees did not straighten.
The emperor had no intention or will to negotiate with them from the beginning.
Why should I, who have powerful armament and powerful soldiers, accept their proposals?
He only looked at ‘humans’ as human beings.
In other words, it was okay to trample on everything that was left except humans.
Especially if it is helpful to humans!
The emperor’s initiative led to a war between humans and monsters. The monster tribe alliance has never gained the upper hand.
No matter how powerful a monster has accumulated, it cannot compete with human unity.
All the powerless monsters were killed. The powerful monsters hated humans and gathered in one place to sleep.
History completely distorted this event and reversed its position.
Records say that the emperor, who was enraged after being betrayed by monsters, exterminated them and built an academy. This is called the ‘Meeting on Mount Verdiya’.
100 Years since the Emperor established Beatus Academy to celebrate human victory.
A tower with no end in sight has risen in the outskirts of the Academy. Some said that the size of the tower seemed to represent hatred towards humans.
People in fear called it the Tower of Monsters.
Unlike other dungeons, only people from the Academy could enter the Tower of Monsters.
It was a moment when a new challenge arose for the students.

The location of the Monster Tower is located in the northern part of District 1, Executor Latina’s jurisdiction.
In order to enter a restricted area, you must obtain permission from the person managing the site.
When Jenna breaks through the 13th floor in the latter part, she needs Latina’s permit, so it will be clear.
[Tower of Monsters: Unexplored Frontier 13th floor]
The Latina stood up from her seat with a frown on her face.
Even though she glared at me who was taller than her, she never gave up her strong attitude.
As if to prove that he was no longer a weak rookie who was swayed by Dyers.
“I don’t know if you’ll try to persuade me with your devil’s tongue again, but I won’t give in.”
“I didn’t come to ask for permission. I’m already preparing, so I’ll go no matter what you say.”
Too-duk-duk.
The pencil the Latina was holding turned into powder. She seems upset that she will definitely go.
“…I’m here to inform you, not to give permission?”
“That’s right.”
“I, the executioner, said absolutely no way. You know very well that the 13th floor dungeon is a forbidden area that no student council in Beatus has been able to clear. Moreover, a person who has even gone in himself is telling me that he will go in again. Are you doing it?”
“……”
I quietly shut her mouth and looked at the Latina.
That action seemed to make Latina even more angry, so she grabbed my sleeve tightly.
“You’re always like that. Did you know that when you were on the student council, you never even said a word to me when you were doing something?!”
“So now to present a concrete plan…”
“Don’t play around with words! I wasn’t at the academy at the time, but I know it too. The former student council president went missing there.”
“…..”
“The disappearance of such a powerful person means that conquest is impossible. That’s why the 13th floor has been designated as a prohibited area for the next 100 years! To prevent further casualties!”
She ignored my opinion by pounding the side of her neck in frustration.
The reaction is strangely strong.
Have you ever stolen a secret from someone else’s diary? I don’t know why they do it like that.
“If you don’t sleep for three days, doesn’t your tension usually drop? How do you maintain that level of tension with such dark circles?”
Ah, it’s tmi, but there is no such thing as tension in this world. If there was one, the fashion-sensitive red-haired MZ kid would have used it a long time ago.
“Ten..? What are you talking about? I’m stopping you because you’re a man who has to die to do it if you do it. You’re going there to die.”
“…It’s not too late to listen to me first and then judge.”
Although it was rare for her to appear in that position, the Latina ignored my words and continued with her words. She didn’t want to waste any more time, so she turned her thin legs and turned her back on me.
“If I killed you, I would have killed you. I can’t see myself dying. The student council will never give permission to Howlan. Big. Dyers, so just know that. Now get out.”
The Latina cleared her throat and gave her order to congratulate the guests.
It seems that he realized that he was the one who eliminated ‘Howlan’ from Howlan Dyers.
From my point of view, I’m more grateful that they kicked me out, so don’t worry about it.
I walked up behind her, who had her back to me, held her hand, and put the paper I took out from her arms.
“…Aren’t you going to take this hand away?”
I jumped towards the door, leaving the disgusted Latina behind her. You might get hit, so it’s best to run away.
“This is material related to the 13th floor. It would be a good idea to read it.”
“…Whew. Why on earth are you doing that?”
The Latina ruffled her own hair roughly. But she didn’t put her paper back in the trash can.
That’s it.
That woman reads my documents unconditionally.
Filled with confidence, I opened my mouth.
That is, before the Latina turns her back on me again and tears up my paper.
All right. Cheeik.
The paper falls like a dead cherry blossom petal, making a clear sound.
No matter how many times she repeated this, Latina’s expression did not change.
This shows that there is no longer any will to negotiate. No, she was consistent from the beginning, throwing her papers in the trash.
For her who hates me, wouldn’t it be better for me to go to the 13th floor dungeon?
“Why do you make me do this?”
“…I thought I would have made a better choice, but it’s a shame.”
“Shut up. That’s what I have to say.”
The battle of nerves continues as our eyes collide again, and soon we realize that there is no answer.
In the end, I backed away, turned around, opened the door, and said.
“I hope you can take responsibility for your actions now.”
“If threats had worked, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
The door slowly closes.
“I’m not going to die.”
“…I don’t understand what else you’re doing.”
“I said it from the beginning. I’m going to save you.”
With those words, the door closed completely.
I quickly accelerated my steps to carry out my next plan.
.
Latina refuses permission, citing clear statistics and principles.
It is said that most people who have gone there so far have been seriously injured or have not even been able to return, so they should not go there.
This is an extremely natural and normal way of thinking.
[Last night in the student council room, Latina, the current District 1 enforcer, and Dyers, the current owner of the bungeoppang restaurant, had a ‘fierce fight’]
[‘I thought one of us was going to die.’ [Relationship between Dyers and Latina deteriorates?]
[Vivid testimony from Ms. A, ‘It seems like Dyers crossed the line first.’ What is the public’s reaction? ‘I’m used to it because it’s always been that way’, ‘It’s Dyers after all.’]
[Dyers, who responded to a direct interview with the press, said, ‘We are trying to see the end of the banned 13th floor.’ Shocking statement!]
[Clearing the 13th floor, which was considered impossible. ‘Failure’ Howlan Dyers knows the secret!]
[Howlan Dyers, ‘Beatus Academy originally belonged to students. Even the monster’s tower is no exception…’ It can definitely succeed.]
[‘Make Beatus Academy great again.’ Has Dyers already decided on a slogan? Announcement of candidacy for the position of president?!]
[Today at 12 p.M., Continuous interview with Dyers at the Platform of Wisdom! It was decided that the press department would be in charge of the preliminary on-site meeting…]
.

[An unfortunate failure who was kicked out of the Howlan family. Dream again.]
After leaving the student council room, I immediately attempted to contact the media department.
If the other side presents a fair and just principle, this side uses propaganda.
Sometimes it ambiguously mixes fabrication and truth to stimulate the public’s consciousness and dopamine.
Because public opinion is the will of heaven, it is something that even the student council cannot blatantly ignore.
In order to get a permit, public sentiment must be on my side.
That’s why I gave a stubborn answer to the student council, which responded with a stubborn refusal.
Publishing an article like that and answering an interview like that, while the eyes of those in power are wide open, are as follows.
No matter what you say, I will definitely do it.
So shut up and give us permission before we go to full-scale war.
“I guess I’ll have to get ready soon.”
I put down the coffee I was drinking and stood in front of the mirror.
The appropriately tailored suit suited me quite well. He doesn’t have a particularly handsome face, but he certainly doesn’t have the looks to make anyone call him ugly.
“The work was done much faster and better than expected. Beatus’ media department is also at a different level.”
As soon as I finished appreciating the suits, admiring their ability to smell money and take action, the door opened by itself.
“…Huh? I don’t remember opening the door. It’s not magic and I don’t feel any mana.”
“……Huha. Hua. Ha…”
The familiar sound of breathing.
Jenna, my eternal protagonist, opened the door. I turned to face him happily.
“I’m going to be busy with midterm exams soon. What’s going on? Still, it’s nice to see you after a long time…”
“Sir, just a moment! Please answer my question first!”
Jenna opened her hand to me and handed me her crystal ball.
There were a lot of articles about me in it.
“Haa… Hea… Isn’t this true? Is there some misunderstanding?”
“It’s difficult to answer. Some things are true and some things are not true.”
“Thank goodness! Then it wasn’t true that you said you were going to the 13th floor dungeon?!”
Jenna took my hand and placed it on her own head, as if she was glad she was doing well.
I said, lightly stroking her head.
“That’s true.”
“…Ah. Don’t lie.”
“The rest is a little ambiguous, but that part is definitely the truth. I can say it with everything I have.”
“I see…”
Jenna smiled brightly, impressed by my strong attitude. Guy. One way or another, he is one of my most trustworthy allies in an academy full of enemies.
“Then I’ll tie you up!”
“Wait a minute Jenna..!!”
Jenna and I fell onto the bed at the same time.
