Chapter 111 – Dungeons

#111.

“Ugh..!”
“Lay? Why are you like that? What’s going on?”

As I was about to enter the gate, I groaned at the sudden warning sound of my sixth sense.

Seria asked worriedly from behind, but I couldn’t pay attention to that.

‘What?’

Nothing has changed at all here and now.

Still, the sixth sense sends a warning…

‘Could it be that dungeons are dangerous?’

The academy had already completed the preliminary investigation, so there would have been no monsters or traps, but the sound of the warning meant that something had changed.

“Lay? What happen?”

As I remained silent without answering, Seria asked in frustration.

I said when I saw that face.

“You. Abstain.”
“Yes?”
“To abstain. Do not enter the dungeon.”
“Yes..?”

I didn’t understand the first time he said it, so he said it again, but he still looked like he was saying something.

Even if it’s like me, I think I heard it wrong when I suddenly groaned and told them to give up.

But I can’t help it.

If Seria entered the barrel warning me that it was dangerous, I would die for sure.

“Avoid.”
“No, I do not want! Why me?”

Seria immediately reacted to the recommendation close to her advice.

So I put my hand on her shoulder and gave her a sharp look.

“Avoid. If they meet inside, they will be eliminated right away.”
“…Why? Please tell me why.”

I shook my head in agony at the expression that I couldn’t accept.

What should I say?

I have a sixth sense skill, but it’s dangerous, so give up?

Or, since you’re not going to be in the top 30 anyway, why don’t you just watch it here?

I don’t think I’ll believe that he’s telling the truth, and I don’t have any intention of treating him coldly on purpose.

“Please. Just this time… Abstain.”

I don’t know what my expression is like now, but Seria said “Ah..!” She let out an exclamation and bowed her head.

Then she took a step back and said with a disgruntled look.

“Only this time. After all, there are two more years left.”

The academy lasts for 3 years.

I resigned more easily than I thought, probably because I thought that I had to achieve results only before graduation anyway.

But that’s for a while.

He was silent for a moment, then looked up at me cautiously.

“I don’t know what happened, but are you okay?”

‘This idiot…’

Because of me, I rather unilaterally lose money and worry about it.

I’m sure I made a good friend.

He said, putting his hand up and stroking her hair.

“Are you okay. No big deal. It’s just because I’m anxious.”
“Tch.. I can’t even go to the dungeon because I’m anxious, even though I’m not going to be responsible for it for the rest of my life?”
“Why. Shall I take responsibility?”
“Is it okay? I hate flirts.”

Seria has been joking, perhaps trying to lighten her mood.

As I was hanging out there, I could feel the gaze of the gate manager.

I removed my hand from Seria’s head under the pressure to go quickly if I was going to pass.

“Then go.”
“Yes. If you can keep me in check, do you have to be number one?”
“When did I keep you in check.. What. I’m watching. I will definitely be number one.”

I took one last glance at Seria, who was joking until the end, and stood in front of the gate.

‘Even if I don’t know what it is, I can’t give up on technical writing.’

This is the first time I’ve gone against my sixth sense.

However, this event took two technical documents.

In the worst case, even if I die, I’ll have to make an excuse somehow.

‘Maybe there will be progress if I die?’

I haven’t made any physical progress yet, just in case.

I might admit my body, saying that I only realized the value after I died.

Shaaaaa-

I shot hard as if I could pierce the gate where the blue magical energy swirled, and I was who! He took a deep breath and jumped inside.

Immediately, blue light covered my vision, and the sensation of someone picking up and pulling up my hair swept through my body.

─Hwaaaaagh!

And the moment my vision flashed again, I was standing in the middle of a dark cave.

“This is a dungeon..”

The basic interior view was not different from what I had imagined.

However, there were magic tools that emitted light all over the place, illuminating the field of vision.

“That’s a family word..”

Creatures such as bats and lizards were attached to the ceiling.

They stopped and stared at me, probably because I was the only one around.

After looking around for a while, I was nervous about the sixth sense that was still ringing.

‘It’s true that dungeons are dangerous.’

If the place was dangerous earlier, it should have stopped now.

But still, the warning sounded meant that there was something in the dungeon that threatened my life.

“Whoa… What kind of bastard are you?”

Working at the Imperial Academy, the distribution was thick.

As far as I know, there is only one of them.

‘The Church of Destruction.’

If they were the ones who caused a great uproar in the Kingdom of Rianne, there was no reason not to call them the Empire.

It would be better if they were just targeting the academy students.

But if you’re targeting me…

‘Dangerous.’

There’s no way they’ll just target me out of the blue, so it can only be seen that they’re following the traces of the time when they were Rai Frencia.

In other words, there is a possibility that they noticed my resurrection ability.

I knew I’d get caught someday, but I never thought I’d get caught this early.

“Whoa.. Do I have to leave?”

But I’m too sad to leave now.

Tina’s attack is going well, and now it’s just a little bit longer, but if she runs away, she’ll become a sandfish.

‘I’ll endure for now.’

I guess I’ll have to make a decision based on how they come out in this case.

After roughly organizing my thoughts, I crossed my sword and slowly moved forward.

Jerk-jerk-

After sharpening all senses and expanding the mana sense, he moved quickly.

The Church of Destruction is a Church of Destruction, and it is important to first place in an event.

The competition runs until 5:00 p.M., Before sunset.

If a decision is not reached by then, points are awarded according to the number of opponents defeated.

So that means you can’t win first place simply by hiding.

How far did you move?

Just when I was about to get bored, I heard the sound of metal clashing in the distance.

Visor! Chaejaeng! Caang!

As soon as I killed the presence and slowly approached, I saw two people exchanging attacks in a wide open space.

The two men with swords and spears were eagerly sharing their sums while wearing their auras.

‘Great.’

The two of them must have been exhausted from fighting for quite a while, and their auras were slowly fading.

When the two entered a strong confrontation while looking at it still.

“Huh!”

Came and swung the whip.

Then, startled by the sudden intrusion, the two hesitated and then each whipped them.

But the whip didn’t end there.

Shiririririk!

Dozens of auras came out from the middle of the whip and attacked the two.

In the end, the two couldn’t stand it and fell amicably cut by the whip.

And..

“Uh..?”

The bracelet seemed to glow, but magical energy spurted out and wrapped around the two before disappearing.

“What is this… Is it a return magic?”

I was able to find out the true nature of magic at once, whether it was worthwhile to study magic.

But I was still puzzled.

A little taken aback, I hurriedly put my hand on my wrist to see if my prediction was correct.

Then the information on the bracelet comes to mind.

But..

“Why am I not there?”

There was no return magic engraved on my bracelet.

This made it clear

The fact that what they’re after is me.

***

Wizards were busy working in one room of a building overlooking the plaza.

“Professor. How about that one?”
“I don’t have any problem.”

Cristina manipulated her familiar by briefly responding to another Faculty of Magic professor.

The view of the familiar is transmitted to the screen in real time after minor adjustments.

This was the place to do that.

‘Where are you?’

Cristina was looking for her lie using her own familiar.

It was definitely outside of work, but it didn’t make sense to make an excuse for that.

Who can say anything if we say that we are looking to see if there is a problem.

‘I’m sure he wasn’t hurt, right?’

Cristina moved her familiar around as she worried that something might happen.

She had already passed dozens of students, but could not find them.

Christina, who had been searching so hard for about two hours, was finally able to put Lai in her field of vision.

‘Here he is!’

Cristina smirked as she looked at the hard-earned Rai, but she hurriedly returned to her original expressionless face, so no one could see.

‘Well done! Well done!’

Every time Lai defeated the students one by one, she enjoyed it as if she had done it herself, then she noticed it again and calmed down.

And just as lunch passed by, Rai and Bianca, the two of them met.

“Oh..!”

Two people who actively help with their research.

Although they were two people, it was clear which one to root for.

‘Bianca. Sorry!’

Cristina apologized to Bianca in her heart and cheered Rai on.

Could it be thanks to her own cheering?

Rai began to push Bianca overwhelmingly.

‘As expected!’

I heard that he struggled quite hard in the martial arts competition, but his growth rate was extraordinary.

While watching the fight between the two excitedly, a professor next to me stuttered and said,

“What.. What is that..?”

At the sound, Cristina turned her head away with her nudge…

“What is that..”

I could see the suspicious masked people filling the screen floating in the sky.

[We are called the Imperial Liberation Army! A world where everything is determined by your status! Sublime to change this..]

“Damn it.. Cut off the magic of the screen!”

At the manager’s words, the wizard in charge of transmission hurriedly cut off the magic.

But the screen on the screen did not turn off at all.

“Oh, it won’t go off!!”
“This..!”

Realizing that control had been completely passed over, the manager hurriedly took out a communication magic tool.

But..

“Shit..! Can’t get in touch Is it Ma Bong-jin?”

‘If it’s Ma Bong-jin…’

It was a barrier that nullified the effect by inserting a variable into the magic formula.

In that case, not only the protection magic engraved on the bracelet, but also the return magic would not work.

The only way is to calculate the variables and run the magic or destroy the gin.

Even that cannot be done with magic tools in the former case.

“Dangerous..”

Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed Imperial Liberation Army was continuing his speech.

[You guys stole our future. So we will take away your future too!!]

Then she pulled out one of her switches and pressed it.

That moment.

─Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu-goo!!

The ground started shaking and shaking like crazy.

─Kyaaaaa!!
─Aaaaagh!

Cristina came to her senses belatedly as the academy building was collapsing here and there.

“Calm down, everyone! We need to locate Ma Bong-jin right now!”
“Huh..! You’re right. If you release only the magic seals, the magic tools will work normally, so scatter them all in all directions!”

As expected, she understood Christina’s words at once and gave instructions to the wizards.

“I’m going to head to the dungeon entrance!”
“Yes. Then please!”

Cristina said similarly to the manager, and she headed straight for the dungeon entrance.

‘Lie. I have to be safe!’

Cristina prayed fervently, feeling her heart pounding madly at the slightest bit of insecurity.

However, contrary to such wishes, the situation at the entrance to the dungeon was hopeless.

When I arrived, I saw that everything had collapsed without a moment’s gap.

“Ah..”

Even now, the inside would be collapsing in real time, but if the entrance was like this, there was no possibility of getting out on its own.

However, it is impossible to release the magic seal during that short period of time before it collapses.

A deep sense of despair enveloped my body, as if someone had pulled me into a deep swamp.

When the strength escaped from the body and sat down on the floor.

“Calm down.”

A man came up to him and put a gentle touch on his shoulder.

“Who..?”
“I am Sernia Harpe. I am the 7th princess of the Harpe Empire and the middle manager of the Mage Tower. Don’t worry, Ma Bong-jin is quickly being lifted.”
“Ah… Ah ah…!”

I can’t be sure, but it’s safe to say that a middle manager can confirm it.

Besides, even though the Mage Tower is located in the same capital as the academy, the fact that she came so quickly proves that she was preparing in advance.

As Cristina sat down, her tears dripping down her cheeks, Sernia Harpe grabbed her hand.

“Calm down. The students will be returning soon with the return magic. I don’t know who you are, but you’re a precious person, right? If you cry, you will be sad.”
“Yes… Isn’t it? That’s right. …Thank you.”

Christina was then able to regain her composure.

And only then did information about her character, Sernia Harper, come to mind.

She is a talented person who graduated a few months before she entered the academy as a professor.

And I don’t know what she was thinking, but she became independent from the imperial family and threw herself into the mage tower.

She would not be able to enjoy her status as royalty, but she would be given her freedom instead.

Cristina thought that far, and she stood up following Sernia Harpe’s touch.

She then asked, looking straight at her entrance.

“How is the situation now?”

Seeing her face regaining her cool, Sernia Harpe grinned and began her explanation.

“As you can see, the self-proclaimed Imperial Liberation Army planted a bomb inside the dungeon. It was kind of undetectable with mana.”
“That’s why I didn’t find out beforehand.”
“Yes. She thought something could have happened, but she didn’t know. In any case, the inside is still collapsing. In just five minutes, everything will collapse.”
“5 minutes..”

It is a very tight time.

Will it be possible to release the magic seal inside it?

Sernia Harpe said confidently, as if she had read her thoughts.

“Are you okay. It’s close, but it’s possible to unlock it before that. Rest assured that everything will be sent here.”
“Ha.. I’m glad.”

Of course, five minutes is the limit, but there will be students who will be crushed to death before then.

But Cristina didn’t think she’d have Rai mixed in with him.

‘Please… Please come back safely. I’ll do anything for you as long as you come back!’
