I Will Take a Break at Academy chapter 45

045. secret (1)

Click.

Awesome profit.

Cyana carefully closed the dorm door.

I don’t make footsteps like a cat, in case my roommate, Lily, is asleep.

She is used to this kind of cautiousness as Ciana, who always stays at the Magical Zoo and comes home late at night.

“Siana.”

Today is… … Something was different.

“Yes… … ? Lily. Lily, haven’t you slept yet? Did you wake up because of me?”

“I usually don’t sleep at this time.”

“Did you?”

Shiana laughed in embarrassment.

Lily’s face was quite serious because she seemed to have something to say.

“Would you like to come and sit down?”

Lily glanced at the chair across from her.

On a small table in the center, alcohol and snacks were modestly prepared.

Shiana timidly passed her saliva.

“Yes… … !”

In a serious atmosphere, Ciana sat down at the spot Lily indicated.

My head, which had been spinning around with Aren, is about to become more complicated.

“Siana. Let’s be honest.”

“Yes? yes. But what?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

At Lily’s fast-paced action, Shiana swallowed in vain.

“Yes?? boyfriend? no?!”

Lily shot a suspicious eye as if trying to figure out what Siana was thinking.

why is that

Why are you like that?

“ah.”

Shiana, who had doubts, remembered who she had met today.

I don’t know how it happened, but there was only one reason why Lily was suddenly like that.

Realizing that Lily’s question meant Aren, Sianna’s face instantly grew familiar.

‘Also.’

There was no need for Siana’s cool answer to Lily, who had a 100-level notice.

Lily pours a drink into her glass.

“It’s the first time we’ve had a sincere conversation like this, right? We were supposed to talk about it tomorrow, but I couldn’t stand it.”

Lily observes Sianna’s movements and brings a glass of wine to her.

“That’s not like that!!”

“Ugh. What is that?”

Lily, who looked cute at the blushed Shiana, put her chin on her chin and began to ask.

“Me, my boyfriend!”

“Huh, is that so? Then soon?”

“Because it’s not like that!”

Shiana was flustered and didn’t know what to do. Seeing the restlessness, Lily bursts into laughter and brings the glass to her mouth.

“drink.”

braided-

A sparkling glass of wine.

Siana was thirsty. I didn’t even know what was in the glass containing the liquid, so I just swallowed it.

A strong alcohol scent that soon rises.

“Ouch! what’s this!”

Shiana frowned and asked.

“Sue, is it alcohol?”

“yes. It’s alcohol.”

Lily calmly turns the bottle around and shows the label. It read [Lorena 16] on it.

“Yes… … Alcohol tastes like this.”

Shiana stuck out her tongue and shook her head.

Lily was taken aback for a moment.

“Siana. Have you ever had a drink?”

“Yes… … I guess it doesn’t suit me… … .”

It’s your first time drinking.

Take a look at this innocent white girl,

Guilt creeps in. haha. Lily smiled shyly and pushed the fruit between Cianna’s lips.

“Eh, what is this again… … ?”

“After drinking, you have to eat snacks! It will get better.”

Siana frowned and ate the fruit. The popping grape juice was sweet. Siana’s expression softened.

‘Why do I eat something so tasteless?’

Siana thought as she looked at Lily, who poured all the alcohol in at once.

an unexpected look. Suddenly drinking with a friend you’ve never had a proper conversation with.

Besides, isn’t Lily a priestly cadet? I am more surprised by the reversal.

“Now, add a drink! I wondered when I would talk like this with Siana. It was this easy, I’ll do it right away. Is not it?”

“Yes? That, it is.”

Before Cianna had time to adjust to the sudden development of their relationship, Lily dug deeper.

“So, should I finish what I was talking about?”

Lily pulled the chair closer to Sianna.

The barrage of questions continued for an hour.

I don’t know how deep the night is.

“Really? So even though he looks a bit dull, that good-looking guy isn’t your boyfriend yet, right?”

“yes! no, still? Because we’re not really like that… … ! What else is it that looks dull? Aren is fine… … .”

Siana crying. He was already drunk and groggy.

Lily smiled at the cuteness of Sianna, who didn’t know exactly the difference between a member of the opposite sex and a friend.

“Yes, yes. probably not Does our Shiana still have a long way to go?”

The two became very close.

Lily couldn’t take her eyes off Cianna as she brought the glass to her mouth. It was fun to tease. It was the first time that Siana realized that she was rich in reactions.

‘We should get to know each other sooner.’

Lily, a drunkard that Viktor can’t handle, puts Siana to sleep.

The rest of the semester didn’t seem boring.

Still, for the time being, I decided to keep Siana’s cute secret.

* * *

Everyone has at least one secret.

Ackerman’s secret is that he accidentally went to the bathroom while taking a magic class and got an item there, and Hoya’s secret is that he secretly likes Cain.

Also, Ponte’s hobby and secret is reading romance novels, and Cain’s secret is that he witnessed Zeros disappear somewhere every dawn.

It’s a secret that screws are missing one by one somewhere, but I accept it because the game setting is like that.

… … I too have a secret. It’s a recent secret, but there are two of them.

The first is a secret invented by damned Viktor.

After having lunch with Siana and practicing jumping magic together, I went back to the dormitory and Viktor was waiting for me.

Capturing the heavy atmosphere, Viktor asked me if I was seeing a woman these days.

When I asked what kind of nonsense that was, the words that came back were spectacle.

– You. this shiki. Since when did you become friends with Siana? huh? Are you two dating? What have you been doing behind my back!

under. That’s why it’s good to keep quiet. Going around with a girl like Siana is bound to attract attention.

It’s fortunate that it attracts attention, but even if you get caught, it’s a problem that you get caught by someone like Victor.

I couldn’t sleep well that night because of Viktor, who was questioning me with a sinister gaze.

After denying it until almost 2:00 in the morning, Viktor also accepted the fact that me and Cyana were not related.

Then,

-Anyway, this senpai won’t keep the fact that you and Shiana aren’t related!

Isn’t that what you’re talking about? I have doubts about whether I really accepted it.

I was fed up and didn’t reply any more, but from that day on, Viktor kept using the word ‘secret’.

really jingling

The second secret is leap magic.

When I was in school, I used to think like this.

‘I wish there was a teleportation device at home and at school.’

Then you can go home and rest as soon as you finish school. There is nothing to be late for oversleeping. It’s no problem if you drank suddenly.

It’s like a dream.

If there are some good things after I enter this fantasy world, it is that I can experience these dream-like stories.

He used magic, teleported, created a whirlwind on his sword, and ate a meal with a cute girl like Siana.

In real life, these are unimaginable things.

Anyway, I’m carving a jump magic circle near the gym and dormitory.

The space where you can use leap magic is limited.

First of all, you can’t move inside the building and inside the building, and you can never enter with magic outside the academy.

It was because of the powerful barrier spell that had been applied since the academy was created. If I tried for nothing, I would be blocked by the barrier and I wouldn’t know where to fly.

Only those who enter the academy through the main gate can use leap magic in the academy grounds.

Even this is high-level magic, so except for geniuses like Shiana, the reality is that only magic professors use it.

So I built a small portal out of sight of the cadets.

‘Is this enough?’

In the gym, it is carved on a small tree in a nearby park.

In the dormitory, I chose a secluded place to interview Dalglish and Annie.

Engrave a spell on the wall of a building and cover it with shadows. That way, no one will notice.

The portal is complete,

‘Experiment… … Should I try it?’

In theory, no problem at all.

It has already been confirmed by Siana several times.

I plan to use the jump portal only when I’m in a hurry anyway, but I’ll have to check if there are any safety issues.

“Whoa.”

Concentrate your mind and use your magic.

shhh!

In an instant, the space was distorted, and the landscape changed.

“… … !”

see the gym I arrived safely at the park where I carved the magic circle.

It was the same feeling as Sianna had. There is no problem at all with people moving.

I release my tense mind. Seeing that his limbs were intact, his leaping magic was somewhat on track.

Now I need to practice using it in real time too.

It is my goal to complete the leap across dimensions through the shadows that end.

‘great.’

I used the portal again to return to the dormitory. After doing it a few times, I got used to the bizarre sensation of moving in space.

It feels like there is a strong secret.

Curfew is coming. About 10 minutes left.

I sat down on the bench next to it to enjoy the cool night air one last time.

I needed to organize my thoughts in my spare time.

The story flows smoothly.

It’s a variable that Ackerman received a B-class mission, but it doesn’t matter because the first external mission itself isn’t important anyway.

The rest of the supporting characters are also riding the flow of their respective stories well.

The most important Cain would have noticed Zeroth’s secret misdeeds by now and was trying to uncover his secrets.

Zeros must have encountered the ‘Sealing Sword’ in the Hero’s Room as well. And he must be rolling his head to claim the sealing sword.

The climax of the second act is slowly approaching.

Ackerman and Cain are all going smoothly, so you don’t have to worry about it, but there’s nothing wrong with always being prepared.

‘Let’s just check the hero’s room.’

in case of unforeseen circumstances.

I went to the dormitory management office and put on a night out plan and came out. Viktor is also on an outside mission, so there is no one to worry about.

Let’s take a leisurely walk or enjoy it.

The location where the hero’s room is hidden is not far from the dorm.

It’s because it’s in the garden in the forest behind the 2nd year dormitory.

It’s a place that comes right out after a short walk.

As far as I know, the ‘Hero’s Room’ is a subspace created by the Archmage with ancient magic hundreds of years ago when the academy was founded.

It is a place where the legendary weapons of heroes who fought against the demons are stored, and many of the heroes who founded the academy are included.

Anyone who sees the items there will salivate. It is said that they were great heroes.

Until vacation, I was in a position to drool, but now that I got ‘Purifier’, I’m not at all sorry.

This is because the holy sword of the first patriarch was not lacking in anything compared to the weapons.

However, it’s just a pity that the person who uses it is still weak and can’t see the light of day.

After walking in the night air, we arrived at the forest garden.

If the location from the game is still the same, the place where I am now must be the entrance to the hero’s room.

A bush no one will notice.

Between two old birch trees.

It’s normal for anyone to see. No, it is just a part of a common natural scenery that is not of interest beyond the ordinary.

Who would have thought that the archmage’s subspace was hidden in the back garden of the dormitory?

It is dark under the lamp.

I looked around and checked the time.

‘There is no one.’

Zeros also comes here at 3:00 in the morning, so no one comes here now, it’s not even midnight yet.

When I was playing Ackerman, I remembered the main character’s voice.

Because it was an ancient language, the pronunciation was bizarre.

But the meaning is simple.

“Be open. This is the hero’s room. Here comes the monk.”

It seems the order went through.

The light split, creating a gap in space. No surprise. It was the entrance to a sub-space that I often saw in games.

Finally, I checked my surroundings again. After all, I don’t feel anyone’s presence. There is not even a couple who enjoys a tryst.

Squeak.

After confirming that no one was there, I entered the space as naturally as in a game.

* * *

I felt a sense of deja vu.

Upon entering the subspace, the weapons arranged left and right are the first thing that caught my eye.

Why do all places where precious weapons are stored have this structure?

Like the secret space in the basement of Blackfire Mansion, and the Hero’s Room… … .

The developer’s taste is very consistent once.

The difference was the large statues of heroes.

A bronze statue of the weapon’s former owner was looking down with an intimidating aura.

It feels as if the statue will move if you steal the weapon.

Of course, I stole it once in the game, but that didn’t happen. If that statue moves, the genre will change to horror.

“after.”

The air in the subspace is very refreshing. It seems that the proper temperature is maintained and the ventilation is properly done.

Is this the power of the Archmage?

I walked past the arms.

In the past, these weapons were something you would have looked at with your eyes open, but there is no special inspiration due to the holy sword.

I have only one purpose.

sealing sword.

It is the sword that pierced the heart of Regalug, the king of destruction, and it is a sword that has the ability to seal the power of demons.

The sealing sword was nestled in the deepest part of the hero’s room.

A place where even the light doesn’t shine.

Standing in front of it, I felt a dangerous energy that I dare not compare with other weapons.

It is the spirit of destruction.

-Are you here… … greenhorn… … .

The sword speaks. To be precise, Regalug’s thoughts.

It’s a horrifying voice that makes your heart beat.

However, I didn’t even have any impressions.

When I play games, it’s a comment I get tired of hearing. Just when all players stand in front of this sword, Regalug speaks like that.

If you answer this, your mind will begin to be consumed by Regalug from then on. In case someone is not the king of ruin, there are various ways to lead others to ruin.

Perhaps Zeros is also under the influence of Regalug by now.

After confirming that the sealing sword was in its original place and that Regalug’s thoughts were still there, I turned around.

It’s a very eerie space.

-Wait, are you going? greenhorn… … ? Won’t you listen to Regalug’s proposal? You will regret it.

Only Regalug’s pitiful voice echoed.

I came out right away without wasting time.

Now that we’ve done our business, let’s go and get some sleep. Because tomorrow is the day the outside mission members are announced.

His steps were light, and he made no sound.

“… … !”

“Ouch! what?”

It was the moment when I got out of the forest garden and turned the corner.

The small forehead that came up to my chest level bumped into my chest.

The person who stroked my forehead for a moment looked up at me. He was cautious as if he didn’t want to expose his face.

However, the person did not seem to be very good at hiding his identity.

Her gorgeously bright lemon-yellow hair was tied on both sides and neatly dropped in front of her shoulders.

When the hooded person checked my face, he said in amazement.

“you… … !”
