58 – Moonlight Clan (2)
Schunika’s bento never betrayed expectations.
While arguing, we packed lunch with Schunika’s packed lunch.
It’s a sandwich-filled lunch, but I’m truly satisfied.
In order to be able to produce this much flavor with just a lunch box, you had to be at the level of academy to be able to present your business card.
“Shunika’s mother is really good at making food. I think you can almost become a cook at this level.”
As always, her lunch box is the work of her mother’s sincerity.
Every time I eat it, I couldn’t help but admire the taste that did not disappoint.
However, upon hearing that, Schnika tilted her head.
“Is my mother a cook?”
“… yes?”
“Hi-Hi. He’s a professional chef who works for my mother’s imperial family.”
… indeed.
Are there no good products without reason?
I always thought the sandwiches my mother made were too delicious for a home food, but since I was a chef for the royal family, I understood right away.
“You are amazing. It’s not just that the food is delicious. Didn’t Shunika’s father say he was also a retired warrior?”
“Yep. Dad said he was famous before and had just met His Majesty the Emperor. I heard that I met my mother at that time too. But he’s so bluffing, I don’t know if it’s true. Hi-Hi.”
When Schunika smiled and said, I laughed involuntarily.
No matter how innocent the family may be, Schnika is probably the only one who calls her father a braggart.
Suddenly beside her.
I saw Ruen walking quietly with a lofty atmosphere.
Thinking about it, I remembered what I had heard before about family affairs in Ruen.
A couple who divorced because of their mother who cheated on them from time to time.
And having given up on such a mother,
Ruen came to study abroad at an academy in another country.
Whatever the reason, the situation became a blessing in disguise.
Because Ruen was diligently attending the academy, and his efforts were recognized and he was even ranked as the top of the class in the Faculty of Magic.
However, it was questionable whether he had achieved the purpose of studying in the empire for the first time.
‘Have you found your father… ?’
For whatever reason, the day Luen opened her heart.
She had definitely come to study in the Empire because it was the ‘Apelice Empire where her father lives’.
But when I thought about it.
I don’t know if she actually found her father who lived in the Empire.
Even though it’s been over a year since she came to study abroad, Ruen is still living in the academy dormitory.
Perhaps it was because he had separated from his father so long ago that he was foolishly following the trail without knowing the exact whereabouts.
‘I’ll ask later.’
It’s not polite to ask right now, so I decided to ask about it when I had time.
If you haven’t found it yet, I’ll do my best to find it with you.
At that time, I will tell Schunika about it and find it together.
Schnika is…
If you ask them to go on a picnic, they will probably follow you without much thought.
“It’s here!”
Schnika, who kept chattering about nonsensical things, stopped walking before she knew it.
Then he shouted, pointing to an entrance where a statue in the shape of a wolf had been erected.
“Red Wolf Gate… !”
The dungeon we chose for this ‘Understanding Dungeon Exploration’ group task.
An E-class special gate known for the main appearance of the E-class monster ‘Red Wolf’… .
Also known as the Red Wolf Gate.
It is an underground dungeon located in the southern part of the imperial capital, Felix, and because it is a gate where monsters are repeatedly created, warriors who want to gain experience often visit it.
Along with the ‘Goblin Warriors Gate’ located in the north, it was also the most visited place for practicing swordsmanship in the Faculty of Swords.
“Are you that excited?”
“Yep! I mean, this is my first E-level gate.”
Shunica nodded her head with an expectant face.
Unlike F-class gates with few variables and very low risk.
From E-level gates, a fairly high level of skill is required to attack.
The level of the monsters appearing in the dungeon is somewhat higher, and there are many variables, so special situations can happen.
For this reason, even in the Faculty of Swordsmanship, E-level gates must be at the level of 3rd or 4th year to practice, and in addition, the professor in charge must be attached as a supervisor.
The place that ordinary academy second year undergraduates could not easily challenge was the E-level gate.
Of course, even in the course of ‘Understanding Dungeon Exploration’, if you apply for an assignment dungeon, you will be immediately rejected by the professor.
Aspiring warriors, who are only in the lower grades, could get hurt if they rashly challenged the attack.
However, Schunika has proudly received the professor’s approval to explore the E-class gate for this assignment.
… selling my name
“There’s a Colosseum winner, but there’s no way we’ll get hurt in E-class. Hi-Hi.”
I, the winner of ＜Academy Coliseum＞.
And Ruen and Schunika, who went up to the round of 32.
Even though they are in the lower grades, they are undergraduate students who have skills comparable to those of the upper grades.
Because all three of them were in one group, even the E-level gate, which looked like a burden to the students, didn’t seem too difficult.
Even the professor in charge of ‘Understanding Dungeon Exploration’ gave permission without saying anything… That’s what I said.
“Shunika, aren’t you being too alert? You’re the first E-class gate.”
Still, the current Schnika was too excited.
At times like this, it was necessary to inform them about the dangers of gates and dungeons.
Having gone on a lot of dungeon explorations with my father since I was little, I am well aware of the dangers of ‘variables appearing in dungeons’.
There are times when a powerful monster suddenly pops out of the ‘Master Room’ while continuing to attack without any major problems.
There are times when a monster you thought you defeated easily suddenly activates a special ability and puts the party in danger.
Getting caught in an unexpected attack by a monster or a trap in a dungeon is really instantaneous.
Even just recently, didn’t Professor Python get poisoned by Venom Arcus in the ‘Black and Red Gate’?
Learning from my experiences so far, I had no choice but to be a little more cautious even in weak dungeons.
However, Schnika said with a puzzled expression as if it was strange.
“When it’s dangerous, Satchel can take out the golem.”
“… … .”
At that, I was at a loss for words.
… It was a difficult answer to refute.
In fact, like Schnika said, we will never get hurt.
I know how to summon a golem,
At the level of knowing how to manipulate him effortlessly.
E-class gates are no longer our opponents.
It’s not an ordinary golem, it’s a [Vita Taker] that I specially made myself.
A monster golem that has already proven its abilities in ＜Academy Coliseum＞.
power and speed.
In no way is it inferior to the E-class monsters in the dungeon.
No matter how big a variable or trap appeared, I was sure that it wouldn’t do much damage to us.
That won’t happen, but…
one in a million.
If something goes wrong or goes wrong… .
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just destroy the dungeon itself with the power of the golem.
… … .
Yes.
Actually, what is an attack?
There was no business in front of overwhelming power.
Then, Ruen, who had been watching our conversation, fired at Shunika with a cold voice.
“… Schnika eaten raw.”
“Satchel, Satchel. Ruen gave me a strange nickname from earlier.”
Schnika came up to me and crossed her arms and said.
Then, a ripple arose in Ruen’s calm eyes.
Once again, her sweet voice trembled.
“Shameless schnika.”
… Why do they fight every now and then?
No, rather than fighting, it seems that Ruen is suffering from Schnika one-sidedly… .
Anyway, I tried my best to ignore the talk between the two and looked around to enter the gate.
“There are quite a few people.”
Red Wolf Gate.
Felix, who manages him in the southern region.
Even though it was a weekend where the warriors usually rested, there were quite a lot of people today.
It wasn’t just the warriors who wanted to explore the dungeon.
Perhaps because it has a gate, there are alchemy shops, armor shops, armor shops, etc…
There were shops selling all sorts of tools needed for a warrior.
There seemed to be far more merchants trying to make money from them than warriors trying to explore the dungeon.
Imperial soldiers stood guard at the entrance to the stairs leading to the basement.
Statues of red wolves stand on either side of the entrance.
The entrance stairway to the gate opened like a passage to the basement.
And the imperial soldiers guarding him.
It looked splendid as if it were the ruins of an empire to a stranger.
However, in reality, it was just a famous and frequently visited E-class gate, so the surroundings were decorated in an easy-to-understand manner.
“Stop talking, let’s go in.”
In my mind, I want to enter the entrance for a while and then come out and write a brief report…
Looking at Shunika’s excited face, it seemed impossible.
like today.
It looks like it will be released only when the Red Wolf Gate is completely attacked.
