Class was immediately stopped.

Originally, the class was scheduled to last until the afternoon today.
However, due to an unexpected accident, the mock dungeon class scheduled for all classes today was postponed.
The other students first went back to their dormitories.
Currently, Lee Myung-joon and other staff were sent in to rescue the students who were still inside the dungeon.
The eight people who knocked down the giant tree, including myself, escaped through the exit, but were sent directly to the health room with the words to wait for a while to listen to the situation.
“Are there any particular sore spots?”
“It’s just muscle pain, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
The middle-aged woman who looked at me and asked me looked like an ordinary person at first glance, but in fact, she was a hero in the healing line who spent several years in the field.
Despite my answer, she reached out and gave a light that seemed to scan my body calmly, but after a while, she nodded.
“Well… Didn’t you say that the two of you have been losing their minds for a while? They both need a close inspection. Wait a minute.”
With those words, she immediately opened the door and went out.
Without realizing it, I put the paste on my sprained ankle and leaned back on the bed with a sigh.
“Whew… … .”
There was only an awkward silence in the room.
In the bed next to me, Hyun-woo Choi and Ivan Hunt were lying one after the other, and on the other side was Lee Yu-na.
And next to her were Jin Ye-seul and Na Il-jun.
Unlike what I’ve seen in the past, Na Il-joon looked very depressed, but it wasn’t enough that he was curled up in a corner and covered with a blanket, so he was muttering to himself.
Thanks to this, the professor of health, who was looking at him, could hear him muttering in a low voice that he needed psychological counseling.
‘Is it that shocking?’
He certainly wasn’t the kind of guy that would appear in the beginning, but it probably wouldn’t have been to that extent.
I was thinking like that.
“there.”
Lee Yu-na, who was lying halfway across from me, spoke to me.
“I couldn’t say it properly before, what is it… … .”
“Yoo Ji-hyuk.”
“No, I’m not asking for your name.”
Yuuna pursed her lips for a moment.
Then he bowed his head towards me and said.
“Thank you for saving me. I survived thanks to you.”
If it was the first time they saw it, they wanted to know what they were doing.
But I thought it was because I knew the character of Lee Yoo Nara well.
A self-made person who has lived a hard life without anyone to trust.
Because he has been thrown into the world since childhood, he has a personality that avoids being looked down on by others and taking on debt to death.
Maybe it’s thanks to Eun-Won’s relationship, and he doesn’t show his true feelings.
In addition, of all the playable characters, he is probably the person who most desperately wants the scholarship that the academy gives to the best students.
‘There is no tuition fee and living expenses are paid monthly, but… … .’
As an academy student, there is a lot of money that inevitably goes into various places.
Considering that the amount is equivalent to the tuition of any university, it is an amount that cannot be taken lightly.
Above all, she was in a situation where she had to remit money every month, so she was in desperate need of money than anyone else here.
“Well, don’t worry too much.”
In response to my answer, Yu Na gave me a slightly relaxed expression.
Then, Ivan, who had been quiet after coming in here, suddenly muttered.
“Then what the hell was that?”
Choi Hyun-woo answered his question.
“Didn’t it just happen naturally in the dungeon? The professor said so too.”
In response, Ivan quietly shut his mouth.
But I could see that it was a silence in the sense of incomprehension rather than persuasion.
‘A rough estimate is going.’
Ivan Hunt must have been more sensitive to spirits than anyone else.
Even so, it is weak, but it has the protection of the Spirit King.
But even though the old tree in the dungeon was obviously a kind of spirit, he couldn’t notice anything.
You cannot admit that fact.
‘Oh, I must have noticed first.’
Well, I guess it’ll be fine.
Because Ivan literally has a personality that is no different than the nobles themselves.
With that in mind, I took my phone out of my pocket.
‘Let’s see… … .’
A notification flashes above that an update is available.
Quests, belongings, status, setting book, skill enhancement, and Q/A.

Other than this, there were several places filled with ‘???’ that were not opened yet.
Will these open after the update is over?
‘There is nothing more to do anyway.’
I was touching the screen with the idea of checking everything one last time and updating it.
“yes?”
There was a piece of equipment I had never seen before in the belongings compartment that should have been empty.
Silent Dagger (Rare)
It is a forged dagger that generously reveals the skills of an outstanding blacksmith and the master disciple of the legendary blacksmith of Yado.
It looks nothing like a dagger from the outside, but due to the magical characters engraved on the core of the blade, it is engraved with the ability to hide all sounds as well as the presence of a throwing force.
As a dagger exists to target the opponent’s intentions and deliver unexpected attacks from the blind spot, it can be seen that it contains the power worthy of its meaning.
However, it should be noted that other than that, there is nothing different from the dagger.
― When throwing a silent dagger, only the silent dagger greatly conceals the presence and sound.
‘what?’
It was the first thing I saw.
If it’s rare, it’s definitely not bad at this point, so it can be said that it’s a good weapon, but why is it in my belongings?
‘I can’t understand English.’
I want to check right away, but there is too much snow around.
I paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, I immediately clicked on the notification window.
[The latest update is available. Do you want to update? (Y/N)]
[Estimated time: 6 hours 23 minutes]
[Update list: Portability and compatibility parts, data optimization, and other convenience features updated.]
‘Yes… … .’
I immediately put my phone in.
It will be about 6 hours from now on in the dormitory, and if you look through the update, it will be easier to find out more information.
Then, suddenly, I thought I could feel the gaze, and an unexpected person was looking at me.
“Hey, can I ask you one thing?”
It was Jin Ye Seul.
I didn’t even think to respond to such an unexpected word.
‘Why is he like that all of a sudden?’
With that in mind, Jin Ye-seul immediately asked me as if she was talking to herself.
“When I was fighting that monster earlier, how the hell were you able to hurt me… ? That’s not because it has a different meaning, it’s the same E-class as me… How?”
At her question, there was a sound of Yuuna and Ivan tossing and turning.
Perhaps the two of them were curious about it, but it was something they couldn’t ask, but Jin Ye-seul seemed to have delved into it to the extent that it was rude.
“uh… … .”

Of course, there is no reason to answer Jin Ye-seul’s question.
But what is important now is that ‘Jin Ye-seul, who plays a failing student who has maintained a score so as not to be expelled on purpose, is drenched in helplessness and defeatism’ posed a rude question to me in the presence of other people.
It was clearly an action that did not match what she had been acting up until now.
why.
Those words ran through my mind.
‘no way.’
My head starts spinning quickly.
A sudden change in Jin Ye-seul’s attitude.
Na Il-joon, who has become nothing but a bad person.
The two were together.
A dagger of a rare rank that suddenly appeared on your inventory.
A mock dungeon that was a mess.
Expansion of abilities, awakening of skills.
Henir’s shadow.
It is the skill that Jin Ye-seul should have acquired, and what she is obsessed with.
‘Wow, crazy.’
As I reached that conclusion, an horrifying assumption came to my mind.
It was that Jin Ye-seul somehow figured out that I had Henir’s shadow.
‘Niiljun, that bastard… !’
Come to think of it, his main weapons were a long sword and a dagger.
Could it be that Jin Ye-seul witnessed that that bastard threw a dagger at me without knowing it, and Henir’s shadow caught it?
This was the only plausible scenario that came to mind right now, but it was convincing enough.
“there… … .”
When I did not answer because I was lost in my thoughts, Jin Ye-seul opened her mouth again as if to urge.
Then, Hyun-woo Choi, who was next to him, cut off her words with a slightly annoyed voice.
“That sounds like a weird question.”
When I glanced at him, Choi Hyun-woo was looking straight at Jin Ye-seul.
“Do you not know that it is extremely disrespectful to ask about other people’s abilities or talents?”
“No, that’s… It’s still the same party, so.”
“I know that it is rude to ask the other person directly unless they talk to each other first. You’re an academy student, don’t you know that?”
“Hey, why?”
He looked at Choi Hyun-woo, who was not so angry even when he was unfairly framed, and smiled as if he were trying to stop him.
It was because there was no law that Jin Ye-seul, whose eyes had turned around, would not attack Choi Hyeon-woo suddenly.
‘It’s a kid who shouldn’t be involved in a really bad way.’
I can’t tell you that, so it’s frustrating.
In response to Choi Hyun-woo’s day, Jin Ye-seul finally shut her mouth and bowed her head.
Lee Yu-na and Ivan didn’t say anything, and I don’t know what Na Il-jun was thinking.
It was an awkward situation.
smart.
“Come on, excuse me. Hyun-woo Choi and Ji-hyeok Yoo here… Ah, here it is.”
I thought I could hear a refreshing sound in the silence, so I opened the door and Han Soo-young stuck her head in.
She saw me and Hyun-woo Choi right next to the door, then opened the door and entered.
It was an unhappy face in the current situation.
“Oh, Sooyoung! You are fine too!”
When I greeted her fiercely, Han Soo-young looked at me with a shaky expression.
“… Have you ever had a head injury?”
“… … .”
I shut my mouth at her reaction.
Han Soo-young looked around and found Ivan and bowed her head slightly to him.
And she looked at Choi Hyun-woo and tilted her head.
“why are you like this?”
“never mind.”
“okay?”
In response to Choi Hyun-woo’s answer, she had an expression on her face as if that was the case.
And she lifted the plastic bag she was holding in one hand.
“Since I saw you in good shape, I’ll go for it. I just came here to buy some ice cream.”
“Five.”
Han Soo-young just walked around and distributed ice cream to everyone.
Lee Yu-na nodded her head saying thank you with an awkward expression, and Jin Ye-seul kept her head down without saying a word.
Han Soo-young, who frowned for a moment as she looked at Na Il-jun, threw it on his blanket as if tossing it.
“thank you.”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
After a brief greeting with Ivan, a member of the same party, Han Soo-young handed an ice cream to Choi Hyun-woo.
It was his favorite vanilla flavor.
“ruler.”
“thank you.”
And Han Soo-young handed me the last one left.
Han Soo-young whispered in a quiet voice in my ear, who had accepted without thinking and said thank you.
“… You can talk to each other later.”
“What?”
When I looked up, Han Soo-young had already left with the words to take good care of herself.
‘Why is he doing that again?’
For a moment, my head felt dizzy, and I brought the unopened ice cream to my forehead.
I thought I was going to be a little tired for a while.
* * *
“This… … .”
After all the students were rescued, Lee Myung-jun, who was investigating the scene, picked up the remains of a giant tree that had been dyed black.
‘I said that the tree was taking the shape of a human.’
If so, it is highly likely that it is either a golem or a spirit.
However, he was well aware that, considering how strictly controlled this simulated dungeon was, the chance of an artificial creature, a golem, appearing was close to zero.
Then, if you think of it as an elimination method, it is a spirit.
It is also a fairly powerful spirit.
‘Is it on fire?’
When it comes to monsters of giant trees, the easiest thing that comes to mind as a countermeasure is flame-based magic.
However, looking around, there was no sign of flames sufficient to create this large rubble.
There, the texture of the rubble was closer to that of dried and twisted rather than burnt charcoal.
Yeah, like getting sick or poisoned… … .
‘poison.’
The poison that spreads through the arms of Esmeralda Listennerger, who is currently in custody, has yet to be deciphered.
And her arms were as black as the wreckage, as if from the plague.
To extract information from her, it was necessary to detoxify the poison that was consuming her life.
‘Didn’t you say that there were four people who were hurt by the attack?’
And among them is Yoo Ji-hyuk.
Lee Myung-jun sighed heavily and dropped the rubble in his hand to the floor.
“I’d like to meet you.”
