Eventually, at night, we were able to go back to our dorms.
Unlike the other students, there was a point where he directly encountered a giant tree, and above all, because of Na Il-joon, who had a mental problem with two people who had been losing their memories for a long time, all of them had to undergo a detailed examination.
Fortunately, no one was killed or injured.
To put it bluntly, Il-jun Na, who had mental problems, was the biggest patient.
And because the schedule ended much later than expected, I was able to run away to the dormitory right away without getting involved with Han Soo-young or Jin Ye-seul.
First of all, you should take a breather and think of a way to deal with it.
‘I was worried that it might have been wrong because of me, but fortunately it doesn’t seem to be.’
An old tree spirit that suddenly appeared in the simulation dungeon.
It can actually be seen as one of the signals that appeared to warn of danger.
‘It’s a sign that the seal is being broken.’
In the clouds on the horizon, the seven monsters are the final bosses.
And when one of their seals is broken, they are cracked in turn.
But two have been broken for a long time, and one is an empty seal.
In the end, only the other four are said to be properly sealed.
And the rest will eventually explode one after another without any help.
‘Well, it’s solved well in the original, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.’
Judging from the events up to this point, even if the details are different, I didn’t want the main stem to change much.
With that in mind, I took out the original drink from the refrigerator placed in each dormitory.
“Gosh… … .”
After taking a shower, my whole body was very tired.
I sat down in a chair and in turn took out my cell phone and the amber stone I got from the dungeon and put it down.
Then he lowered his gaze and looked at my shadow.
“How do you vomit what you ate?”
As he looked at the shadow and murmured as if talking to him, the shadow’s appearance immediately shook.
Immediately, I could see the handle of the dagger coming out of the ground as if it had risen from nothing.
‘It’s very convenient.’
I carefully grabbed the handle of the dagger and lifted it up like a radish.
It slides out of my hand smoothly without any hesitation.
I put it down right next to the amber.
“Hmm.”
Cellphone, amber, and silent dagger.
Having glanced at them in a row, I immediately picked up my phone.
[Update complete!]
A large notification popped up on the screen.
As soon as I clicked OK, the explanations came up at the bottom, and I could tell that was changed through this update.
‘Let’s see.’
[The Portability and Compatibility section has been updated.
― Now you can browse through any electronic device.
Also, it is possible to temporarily view information in the air by consuming magical power.]
[Data has been optimized.
― Missing or changed information has been applied, and the search for setting books has been further refined.]
[Other convenience features have been added.
― The ‘Emotion’ function has been added.
― Alarms are accumulated when important information is updated.
― Security has been strengthened, so the contents of the screen are invisible to others.]
“Almost what… … .”
It’s like a game.
I stared blankly at it and immediately operated my phone at the word ’emotion’.
Then the phone’s screen changed as if the camera was on, and I reflexively brought it to the amber.
“Five… … .”
I wanted to take a picture with a click sound effect, and immediately a description appeared on the screen along with the amber stone that had just been reflected.
[High Purity Spirit Remnants (Material / Unique)]
[The remnants of the high-purity spirits left behind as the spirits with great power disappeared and formed crystals like jewels. If you carry it with you, you may get hostility from the spirits for a reason.
― If you have it in your arms, the spirit affinity will decrease slightly.]
‘There is nothing other than thinking.’
If it were used as a material for magic or alchemy, it would certainly be of high value, but unfortunately it is useless to me now.
I was just thinking of carrying it around, but the phrase that the friendliness of the spirits was low bothered my eyes.
Considering how unpredictable the spirits in this world are, it was better not to do anything that offends them for nothing.
‘For now, let’s keep it as an ornamental for a while.’
I roughly placed it next to a glass of makgeola.
Then, the guy who was looking at this way because he was fat in the water started to stare at the Spirit Stone.
After looking at it for a while, I opened the lid of the drink I had taken out.
‘Now that the mock dungeon case is over, it would be better to follow Choi Hyun-woo and Han Soo-young for future events and time series.’
Shaking my throat, I began to contemplate what was to come.
It was because each of the playable characters did not know the first part, but from the middle part, their viewpoints and stories progressed, so it was important to set the right direction from the beginning.
‘This was definitely a story related to a giant guild.’
Normal classes will continue for a while, and representatives of each guild who are allowed to enter the academy will come to visit.
And, of course, that was the beginning of the second incident here at the academy.
‘Let’s just do it like before. Just like before.’
With that in mind, I threw the finished drink can into the trash.
And when I lay down on the very soft bed, the sound of pain leaks out.
I lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
‘But it’s really good… … .’
A single-room dormitory that looks better than the house in the original world or the house in this world.
All of the furniture looks stylish and expensive, as well as basic necessities and snacks.
There is also a kitchen where you can easily prepare food, so it is almost like a studio.
This facility is free for 4 years, and in any case, living expenses are also paid separately.
‘There… … .’
I checked my virtual account by touching my phone.
It was an account created collectively for students who entered the academy, and living expenses and training expenses were deposited here.
And the account that should have been empty was stamped with an amount of 200 million won.

Of course, when you think about the future, a lot of money will come out of this, but how about it anyway.
Two billion.
A huge sum like this would be thrown into my account all of a sudden.
‘The work is done very quickly.’
Perhaps there is a smile on my face that is unsatisfactory.
So, I was thinking about going to sleep now.
Ding Dong.
When the doorbell rang with a cheerful sound, I jumped up from my seat.
“yes?”
No one can come at this hour?
With that in mind, I got up from my seat and walked towards the door.
‘Who is it?’
Several names were running through my mind.
Because of his curiosity, Han Soo-young never sneaks into the men’s dormitory until he breaks the rules.
If it was Choi Hyun-woo, he would have contacted him before he came, and he has no other friends who will come to the dormitory.
‘Is it Jin Ye-seul?’
For a moment, I was startled and heard an unexpected voice from beyond the door.
“Hey, excuse me for being late, Yoo Ji-hyuk. Can I talk to you?”
It was Lee Myung-jun’s voice.
When I opened the door to an unexpected guest, he looked at me and bowed his head slightly.
“Hunter Lee Myung-jun?”
“Sorry for being late at night. Did you ever wake up?”
“no. I was just about to sleep.”
“Well.”
Then he gently lifted what he was holding in one hand.
From the smell alone, I knew it was chicken.
“If it’s okay, can we talk inside?”
* * *
“Hunter-sama, have some too.”
“no. it’s okay.”
First, I let him in and I put the chicken he had bought on the table.
Seeing him sitting down naturally, I thought that he must have come in the middle of the night because he had something important to say, so I put the chicken aside.
If you eat it now, you won’t be able to taste it properly anyway.
“First of all, excuse me for being late.”
Watching him bow his head to me, I let out a small sigh.
Judging by his polite attitude, it was clear that he had brought something that bothered him.
“Speak up.”
“no. At least for now, I’ll just say it like this.”
With those words, Myung-Jun Lee took something out of his arms and started putting it on the table.
Blackened and dried wood chips.
And a few pictures.
Lee Myung-jun pushed the picture toward me as if to check it.
“This… … .”
Looking at the picture, I frowned slightly and spoke.
The person pictured in the picture was Esmeralda Listenerger.
“As Ji-hyeok knows well, it’s Esmeralda Listenerger who was arrested at the time.”
“Yes. I know that.”
In the picture, she was quite exhausted, but there was no sign of torture or anything else.
However, seeing the blackened and shriveled up to the elbow of his right arm, I could instinctively understand why he had come to me.
“And these are some of the remains of a giant tree we collected from the site today.”
Lee Myung-jun, who paused for a moment, was looking straight at me.
“They all had one thing in common: they were all black and shriveled up, and in both cases, Jihyeok was on the scene.”
I didn’t answer.
I was going to ask, “Was there not Choi Hyun-woo besides me at the scene?
“So what’s the point?”
Eventually I raised the white flag.
Lee Myung-jun, like Choi Hyun-woo, was not someone who would go anywhere and spit out my secrets.
‘I’ll have to be more careful in the future.’
“Jihyuk-kun… … .”
Thinking like that, Myung-Jun Lee lowered his head once more.
“We came here because we wanted to help. As I said in advance, I have no intention of intimidating Ji-hyuk or giving any disadvantage to Ji-hyeok, so please understand this.”
“Yes. Well, I understand.”
I looked at him and snorted a little.
“It’s almost like a notification, though. Well, as I said, it’s not a threat.”
“sorry. But the situation was so urgent… … .”
Lee Myung-jun said so and looked at me with earnest eyes.
“Listen still hasn’t opened his mouth. I’ll be able to mine information from here in the near future, but the poison that rises from her arms will kill her first. She is aware of that, too.”
“… … .”
“No. We need her information. So, I and my colleagues are now selling their feet, looking for a way to detoxify her venom.”
“Can’t you just cut off your arm?”
He smirked at my question.
“Of course I tried. As soon as I injured my wrist, it immediately spread to my elbow.”
“… … .”
This was a fact I was unaware of.
If so, it was said that one day, if you poison yourself with Nidhogg’s fangs, you can kill your opponent.
“please.”
After those words, looking at Lee Myung-joon who bowed his head, I began to think slowly.
Since he had already come this far, it was a self-evident fact that he had to be sure of his attitude.
would you just say no?
To be honest, the importance of Esmeralda Listener’s story in the story was rather heavy.
‘There… … .’
Myung-Jun Lee.
The person who should have died earlier is now alive and bowing his head to me.
His disposition was perfectly oriented towards order and goodness, and he certainly was not a person who betrayed others or betrayed his trust.
‘However.’
I don’t like it.
He’s bowing his head to me, but it’s only superficial.
Looking at the current situation, it was as if I was being followed by him, so honestly, my feelings were that the mood was dirty.
I was vaguely thinking that I might just pretend not to know and reject it.
‘for a moment… … .’
Before saying that, I immediately shut my mouth at the thoughts that ran through my head.
And after a brief calculation, I was able to conclude that perhaps taking advantage of the current situation would be more beneficial to me.
‘No, it is possible. Why didn’t I think of this method before?’
Red Case, a group of villains to which Esmeralda Listenerger belongs.
Their greatest feature is that teams with specialized abilities such as assassination, SS, infiltration, and terrorism are gathered and united under the leadership of a leader.
In order to break them, first they had to break their own bonds, making connection impossible.
‘then… … .’
Convinced, I nodded my head slightly.
Lee Myung-jun was still bowing his head.
“good.”
Even then, he didn’t move.
“That means… … .”
“I can’t help it, I’ll help you.”
At my answer, Myung-Jun Lee put on an expression of letting go of an hour.
Looking at him, I smiled too.
