The Academy’s Time Stop Player chapter 106

Sunday 10 am.

“under… … .”

Hajun sighed as the ground turned off.

I expected to start attacking on Monday, but it was because the schedule was earlier than expected. In the end, Ha-jun had no choice but to board the gate from England and come to the United States before returning to Korea.

I tried to prepare (play) leisurely for at least a day… … .

“Then please. Ha-jun, student.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

Emma, an agent of the American Hero Association, bowed her head politely and began to guide Ha-jun.

Ha-jun answered with a dry voice and followed Emma’s, and soon after seeing a familiar face.

It was the world’s fifth-ranked hero, the prophet Joa Elliot, whom I met the other day.

“It’s been a while, Irregular.”

“Yeah, what. Are you going in today?”

“yes. As soon as the operation briefing is over, we will start attacking.”

“But did you get a schedule sooner than you thought?”

“I will explain about it.”

It was a middle-aged man with a white beard and a neat pomade who answered Ha-jun’s question.

Ha-jun looked at him with a puzzled face and asked.

“who are you?”

“My name is Andro Hans, president of the American Hero Association. Nice to meet you, Irregular.”

As the president of the American Hero Association… … , It’s the first time I’ve seen a face, but it seemed like it.

Just by looking at his appearance, he seemed like a tall person for some reason.

Andro Hans continued.

“Originally, we were going to schedule the capture tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but just yesterday, an unexpected change occurred in the dungeon.”

“What change?”

“The dungeon’s internal magic has gone down.”

At that, Hajun frowned.

That’s weird.

The magic level of the dungeon expected to break has gone down.

It was impossible to go up, but it was impossible to go down beyond the level of danger.

Hajun asked.

“What kind of dungeon?”

The reason for not trying to attack immediately even after finding the expected break dungeon was, of course, because of the preliminary investigation.

Since the association has probably finished investigating the dungeon for a week, you probably know what kind of dungeon it is.

“This is a beast dungeon. The types of magical beasts will be explained during the operation briefing.”

“… … ? It’s a beast dungeon, but the magic power level went down?”

“Yeah, at least I don’t think that’s a good sign.”

From what I heard, it didn’t seem like a very good sign.

At the very least, the magic level of the dungeon that was just before it exploded will not drop and become stable.

Of course, there were a few things that were expected.

Whether the beasts possessing the inner magic died for some reason, or there was something dealing with the magic.

‘It’s awkward from the start.’

Originally, this dungeon attack was not from the original story, in other words, Ha-jun did not know. Judging from the content of the game’s story, it seems certain that Joa Elliot died here… … . It seemed that there must be another reason that Hajun didn’t know.

‘Obviously, I didn’t hear that Joa Elliot attacked the Break Dungeon of Extinction in the United States in the game… … .’

All Ha-Jun knew was that a year later, news of Joa Elliott’s death was announced in the United States.

Perhaps the American Heroes Association kept hiding the news of her death because of her influence and deterrence of villainous crimes, so it was announced… … .

Anyway, considering the game story, it seemed certain that she would die in this dungeon raid.

However, I didn’t hear that the dungeon break could not be blocked, so this dungeon attack must have been successful.

Hajun turned his head to look at Joa Elliot.

She predicted her own death.

You must have seen what was happening inside the dungeon.

Hajun asked.

“What future did you foresee?”

Joa smiled bitterly at those words.

She looked at Hajun and whispered softly.

“I can’t tell you right now. I will tell you later.”

He looked at her with a puzzled expression and then nodded his head.

Well, there must be a reason why I can’t tell you right now.

* * *

After that, the operation briefing was carried out quickly inside the tent installed in front of the extinction site.

The type of dungeon is a beast dungeon.

It is literally a dungeon where only beasts live, and the level of danger of the beasts living in the dungeon is measured at 50. Simply put, there were plenty of people like Antria, the ant king, whom Ha-jun killed on an artificial island in the past.

“We formed an expedition to mobilize five top-tier heroes to investigate the inside. From now on, we will start briefing the information we found out through our exploration.”

The dungeon is a dungeon located near the borderline not too far from here, and the beasts that inhabit it are wolf-shaped beasts, and beasts such as Beowulf and Giant Wolf, including Heilang, coexist and live together.

The peculiar thing here was that these guys ‘coexist’ with each other.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No matter how the same dog and beast, the characteristics of them, including the species, are different, so they cannot coexist and inhabit with each other.

However, when he heard that they coexist and live under one roof, Ha-Jun had no choice but to be puzzled.

It wasn’t just Hajun who was thinking.

One of the raiders, a woman who appeared to be a wizard, also questioned.

“They coexist and live together… … , is that true?”

“It is true. I saw it with my own eyes.”

To the woman’s question, a sharp-looking man with a bow-shaped Noble Phantasm answered.

He was one of the expedition members who explored the dungeon and was a man named Aiden who served as the guide for this raid. Andro Hans, the president of the association, added to Aiden’s words.

“For us, I doubt that there might be a magical beast that leads the group.”

That was certainly the only explanation.

Otherwise, there would be no way these guys would be together.

After that, the meeting continued and after an hour or so, the meeting was over, and it was decided to take a moment to prepare and start the operation immediately.

It was while Hajun was stretching outside while relaxing his body.

“that… … , are you regular?”

At that time, the attack crews who participated in the operation meeting just before Ha-jun, who was stretching, approached him. There was a large man in charge of the tank, a woman who looked like a wizard who was just asking a question at a meeting, and a man with a sharp impression holding a Noble Phantasm in the form of a bow.

They all looked at Ha-joon and looked at him in wonder.

“Wow… … , I didn’t know that Irregular-sama would participate. It is an honour.”

The man in charge of the attack squad’s tank politely extended his hand to Ha-jun.

Ha-jun shook the man’s hand with a bewildered expression.

And the other two also asked for a handshake with a reaction no different from the man who shook hands earlier.

Ha-Jun greeted each one by shaking hands and knew their names.

The name of the big man in charge of the tank is Grayson, the name of the wizard woman is Violet, and the name of the last man who appears to be an archer with a bow is Aiden.

“hahahaha, in fact, Irregular-nim is so famous that it’s hard to approach him easily. Still, from the position of attacking together, shouldn’t we share greetings? And I know why Irregular-sama joined the raid. Thinking about it, how can I thank you?”

As they said hello, a man named Grayson, who was the tank in the raid, said.

And at Grayson’s words, Hajun opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“You know why? Do you know Joa Hero?”

“We all know Joa Hero. I owed my life to Joa Hero in the past. So why not take part in this attack even more?”

So, did you support the attack on the annihilation dungeon this time?

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No matter how superlative the hero is, there is no superhuman who can easily support the dungeon attack of the annihilation.

“Anyway, today’s dungeon raid, please take care.”

“Yes, I will try.”

“ah! And I have one request.”

“Please?”

“Yes.”

With those words, it was Grayson who pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket.

He held out a piece of paper and a pen to Ha-jun and carefully opened his mouth with a bright smile.

“Excuse me, but the autograph… … , because my daughter is a fan.”

“… … .”

* * *

The magic of annihilation is dense.

The concentration of magic around it is so heavy that it differs from one dimension to another, and in some places, there are places where the magic is twisted and swirled, causing magical phenomena.

Therefore, the gate cannot be used inside the extinction.

First of all, gate magic not only requires a lot of magic power, but also requires delicate magic adjustment.

Therefore, Ha-jun and the attacking crew were on their way to the dungeon they were planning to attack now.

Violet, one of the members of the raid, was able to move comfortably with the fly magic.

“How many hours do you think it will take to fly at this speed?”

“Well… … , maybe 11 hours?”

Aiden, the guide, answered Violet’s question.

Even if the dungeon was located near the boundary line, the extinction area itself was wide and it had to take this much time.

And after hearing the answer, Violet only sighed.

“under… … , the overnight stay is confirmed.”

“Well, if you go too far at night, you can put a lot of pressure on your attack.”

When it flew so safely, about 6 hours passed.

Slowly as the sun went down, I landed on the ground in search of a place that looked good as a campground.

It’s dangerous to keep moving when the sun goes down and you can’t see anything, and Violet also needs to rest to replenish her magical power. So, each of us began to prepare for the overnight stay.

As Grayson and Aiden looked around, Violet immediately cast a spell for the overnight stay. The scene she saw was just magic that opened the curtain around her, but it is said that she was the original magician she created.

“It is a combination of beginner magic silence and intermediate magic eye blocking. You probably won’t see us from the outside. Of course, there is no sound leaking out, so you can talk freely.”

Is it because you’ve only seen attack magic so far? I could feel the convenience of magic again.

Looking at it like this, it’s a pity that I don’t have the magic power… … .

Once, thanks to her magic, tent installation was easy.

When the preparations for the overnight stay were finished, Grayson said.

“Then why don’t you turn around and look at the boundary for two hours?”

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No matter how much Violet’s protective veil is there, this place is extinct.

It was natural to stand guard in case of any unforeseen circumstances, so I suggested taking turns to stand guard, but Ha-jun shook his head at Grayson’s words and opened his mouth.

“I will stand alone on the border, so please sleep well.”

“Yes, yes?! No, anyway, that’s a bit… … .”

“Isn’t it a good idea to supplement your stamina as well, Irregular-sama?”

Of course, their feelings are understandable, but Ha-jun, on the other hand, wants them to supplement their stamina.

It’s Ha-Jun, you can take out the sleeping bag in your inventory, pause the time, and go to sleep.

Moreover, wouldn’t it be more comfortable for Ha-jun if they work hard in the dungeon to make sure they do everything right?

“I have a separate way to rest, so please sleep comfortably.”

At that word, the attacking crew, who looked at each other with puzzled faces, soon nodded and agreed to Ha-jun’s suggestion.

Well, having said this all the way, it seems like he really thought there was a different way.

After making dinner with such simple preserves, the sun went down and night came.

Ha-jun sat on a nearby fallen tree, lit a bonfire and looked up at the night sky.

Although the surrounding environment was abysmal, the scenery itself was spectacular.

“But aren’t you two sleeping?”

Looking up at the night sky like that, Ha-jun looked at Joa and Grayson who were sitting right in front of him, facing Ha-jun. The wizard, Violet, and the guide, Aiden, fell asleep in their sleeping bags, but they were looking at the night sky with Ha-jun for a while as they could not sleep.

And Grayson and Joa answered Ha-jun’s question.

“I feel like I won’t be able to sleep even if I lie down right away. I plan to lie down in a little while.”

“I also thought about sleeping while looking at the night sky for a while. Because the night sky of extinction is not easily seen.”

In fact, even from Hajun, the scenery was spectacular.

Due to the high density of magic power, there were many abnormal climates in the extinct area, one of which was the aurora in the night sky. Ironically, it was a beautiful landscape that was hard to believe was the most dangerous place.

At that time, Grayson, who was looking at the night sky, began to pull something out of his pocket. What was brought out was a picture of a girl.

He looked at the girl in the picture for a moment, smiling happily.

And Joa, who glanced at the picture next to him, opened her mouth with a happy smile.

“Huhu, Allie has grown a lot.”

“Yes, this is a picture we took on our last trip together. I was planning to go on an overseas trip with my daughter again after successfully completing the dungeon raid this time.”

“… … .”

At that, Ha-jun looked at him with a confused expression.

Why are you talking about something like that ominously? … .

At that time, Grayson, who felt Ha-jun’s gaze, approached Ha-jun with a happy smile.

“Would you like to see Irregular too? This is my daughter.”

It was Grayson who offered a picture with those words.

Ha-jun looked at Grayson’s daughter in the photo.

“Isn’t it pretty?”

“… … .”

Hajun shook his head and then nodded.

Unfortunately, his face was very similar to his father.
