Chapter 101 – Episode 101 – Exciting School Trip (17)

Dungeon.

According to the teacher, there were monsters in the dungeon called the rift of the world.

The reason why monsters were called monsters was simple.

At the same time, they are life forms that have neither a specific form nor specific habits.

This is because they showed infinite hostility towards the creatures that entered the dungeon and rushed at them.

Normally, it was common not to think of entering the dungeon where these monsters exist.

It was a place that could not be entered because there was no world behind it.

When you kill a monster with a messy mixture of yin and yang, you leave behind something like simple powder.

Depending on the quality, this powder can be used as a good medium for witchcraft or witchcraft, so it is sold at a high price.

More than anything else, in dungeons, new objects sometimes pop out.

Some were important places even controlled by some families.

Monsters that spawn infinitely no matter how many times you kill them, and dungeons that spit out new things, which is very rare, can be thought of as infinite power.

There was one downside.

That was the point of not knowing how far the risk of the monsters would grow.

These living beings with a messy combination of yin and yang have transformed into dangerous guys who sometimes have to call the head of the family or the head of the clan.

Small but quick, big yet powerful.

Every time a variety of dangerous monsters appear, the spirits and shamans who come to explore the dungeon may take their lives.

A guide was always attached to the exam to explore the magic and dungeons of the Yokai Academy.

Just in case of an unforeseen situation.

And if you look at the shaman and youkai who have caught up with you as the leaders of today’s test, you can be sure that no one will lose their lives to the monsters.

The phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, one of the 10 council members.

Kim Ji-hye, head of the shadow family.

It was too much energy to be killed by monsters.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

The teacher beckoned us.

The phoenix and her group followed as her leader, Kim Ji-hye and her assistant, Kim Si-hee, slowly followed behind us.

So we entered the dungeon.

Despite being a cave surrounded by walls, the inside of the dungeon shimmered with pure white light.

‘… Yang Ki.’

Judging by the roughly familiar sense of heterogeneity, it seemed to be a phenomenon in which the yang qi was twisted.

“Are you familiar with the structure of the dungeon to some extent? We will go through the five courses one by one, and the test will end when we finally reach the bottom floor of the dungeon.”

The teacher took out a pen and a simple notebook and looked back at us.

“So, who’s going to take the first course?”

“Me.”

I immediately answered the teacher.

And I glanced at the phoenix.

The phoenix didn’t react to my answer, only smiling.

First evaluation in the first order.

If Ji-hye Kim catches up with her and kills her as quickly as possible.

I was wondering if there would be a reaction to anything, but I wonder if there were any insidious plans.

Or if it has nothing to do with your plans.

The phoenix seemed to care nothing.

“Then let’s start with Hanjunie, and Hanjunie can stand on this side and lead.”

“Yes.”

I heard Miho’s small cheer from behind.

Seolhee also said ‘Cheer up’ in a low voice.

I shrugged my shoulders and took out a bankruptcy sword from my pocket.

“……”

I looked back at the phoenix, wondering if there would be any reaction this time.

The phoenix twitched the tip of her nose and twisted her smile slightly.

Um, good

Maybe I thought I was the only one who liked it, but Kim Ji-hye, who was next to me, smiled with satisfaction.

That’s how I proceeded through the dungeon while holding the dagger.

Again, again, again, again.

There was no problem with the view as Yang Ki emitted white light in all directions from the twisted wall.

However, it was inconvenient that water droplets on the ceiling sometimes fell, or that the road suddenly bent.

“Kiki profit.”

As I was advancing, a black monster appeared in front of me.

It’s like a dog’s shape.

A bizarre shape with a twisted whole body made of black.

The eyeless creature’s head opened with a crunching sound, and it came running towards me with its sharp fangs.

It was pretty fast, but it didn’t matter.

In the first place, that much is the speed you can see with your eyes.

Hong Ma-dong was nowhere to be seen.

Fuck!

‘Your junior is holding a dagger, you have to use your feet. This is Jinguk, Jinguk.’

Remembering what Hong Ma-dong said, he kicked the monster’s mouth.

The head of the monster floating in the air was soaring into the air.

In an instant, his body staggered, and before he knew it, his mouth protruded from his stomach.

Tried to chew on my feet.

But I calmly changed my balance and hit the guy’s mouth with my elbow.

‘Oh, can I just use my feet? I use my elbow too.’

Reminiscing about the pain he suffered from Hongma-dong, he looked at the monster.

The monster twisted its body like before and spread its body widely in all directions.

Its black body, spread like a cloth, had thorns hanging from all sides.

Only then did I grab the dagger I held in reverse.

‘But the key is the dagger. Use it well, junior.’

Fuck.

Unknowingly, I was spitting curse words at Hong Ma-dong and cutting the dagger horizontally.

And the monster fell to the ground in pieces.

“Oh oh.”

The teacher must have been surprised by my taijutsu, and scribbled something on his notebook with a voice of admiration.

Sihee Kim behind her closed her mouth and her eyes were shining.

Judging by the way she pursed her lips, it seemed that she was holding back the words ‘Mother!’

After collecting the powder from the monster’s corpse, I headed towards the dungeon again.

I intended not to use witchcraft as much as possible in this test.

Because unforeseen circumstances may arise.

Even if he used Chukji, he planned not to show his shadow shikigami to the phoenix.

* *

After the course of the first test, we arrived at the halfway shelter.

I sat down on the ground in an open lot.

“Whoa.”

Is it sparing magic and using the body a lot?

Sweat dripped down.

I took out the water I brought earlier and drank it, breathing slowly.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a shaman related to constitution.”

Darae touched the handle of the sword and clicked his tongue.

As Darae said, I used Chukji a few times only when I was in a dungeon.

He escaped most situations with taijutsu.

But since I cleaned it all up, I was confident that I would be able to score well.

“……”

However, there was one catch.

While taking the test, after recognizing a monster that suddenly jumped out from the side and using the paper.

Curiously, I was able to predict when and where monsters would pop out.

It didn’t necessarily fit.

However, about 80% of them matched.

I thought it would stick to the ceiling above and went forward, and there was indeed a bat-shaped monster attached to the ceiling.

When I thought that there must be something in the alley that turns sideways, there was indeed a monster hiding and waiting for me.

It wasn’t something I expected or felt.

It was just strangely screaming in my head that this is the right place.

“What the hell is it?”

We are muttering in a daze at the puzzling sensation that seems almost impossible to catch.

The teacher rushed towards me.

“Han Jun-ah, you’ve really grown tremendously.”

The teacher patted me on the shoulder and tore off her own notebook.

“Here’s the score.”

“Yes?”

Upon receiving the paper given by the teacher, the teacher pointed to it as if showing off.

“You’re not going to wonder.”

“…”

10/10.

9/10.

Scores that looked good even at a glance were densely listed.

“I’m a student who always arouses curiosity, so I wanted to score as much as student Hanjun.”

The teacher rimmed her horns, and she smiled quietly.

“It’s a secret.”

Kim Ji-hye and the kids on the other side fixing the equipment and talking about what to do.

She hadn’t noticed the note the teacher secretly handed her.

“I’ll look around the search engine dungeon for a while and come back. Let’s talk about the results after leaving the dungeon.”

The teacher got up.

Then she went up to the phoenix and mixed her words.

The phoenix nodded her head and went into the dungeon with the teacher.

“…Something is strange.”

Suspiciousness was amplified on the surface.

I silently drank the water and watched the teacher and the phoenix disappear gradually.

Let’s get to this point.

The teacher seemed to be up to something.

But we had Kim Ji-hye.

“… What?”

As I stared at Kim Ji-hye blankly, Kim Ji-hye asked what was going on, and she twitched her eyebrows.

Even though she looks irritated on the outside, she is a shaman who can wield Hongma-dong, and she is Kim Ji-hye who always thinks of me.

I was relieved and lay down against the wall.

“Just.”

At my words, Kim Ji-hye took out her cigarette and bit it, and she muttered.

“Good job.”

“Yes…?”

“Good job, I didn’t look at it because I wanted to hear that.”

Kim Ji-hye turned her head away, exclaiming in her irritation.

I blankly looked at Kim Ji-hye and smiled.

“That’s right, thank you.”

So I chilled out and took a break.

After ten minutes, my stamina was almost fully restored.

Twenty minutes passed.

Thirty minutes passed.

“Why aren’t you coming? It’s annoying.”

As Kim Ji-hye looked at the dungeon where the teacher and the phoenix had disappeared, she murmured.

Kim Ji-hye’s tone is not the tone of suspicion that something has happened.

It was just an annoying tone.

But an hour passed.

Kim Ji-hye hardened her expression, and she was looking into the dungeon where the teacher and the phoenix disappeared.

“If he doesn’t come in 10 minutes, you guys get out.”

Kim Ji-hye pulled out a cigarette and muttered lowly.

“Because only me and Kim Si-hee will enter.”

Something had happened.

I was convinced that it was not the phoenix, but that the teacher had done something.

‘Painting.’

I don’t know why, but the dense lines of yin and yang drawn on the teacher’s desk came to mind.

The feeling of being caught.

The moment I thought about it, thinking that this might be the answer to the problem.

Suddenly, Kim Cha-ryeok told us.

“Avoid.”

“… What?”

“Avoid!”

Kim Cha-ryeok shouted.

At the same time, Kim Ji-hye snapped her fingers as if she felt something.

Hoo-wook.

A shadowy hand sprouted from the floor, grabbed my ankle, and moved across the ground at great speed to Kim Ji-hye’s side.

Hands sprouted from not only me, but also from under the shadows of everyone else, and were drawn toward Kim Ji-hye.

In less than a second, he was round under Kim Ji-hye’s feet.

At the same time.

The ceiling above the dungeon cracked.

Write.

A straight split ceiling.

A clear blue sky with clouds visible beyond.

I was surprised at this absurd scene for a while.

A person suddenly fell from the air.

“Lee Soo-bok, take the life and death department.”

A red-haired yōkai holding a thorn-like sword in one hand and a Japanese sword-like sword in the other.

Even though she cuts the sky, she doesn’t mind.

Inorganically, she spat out her own words.

“Where is Lee Soo-bok?”

The yo-kai spat out the homeroom teacher’s name again and slowly turned its head towards us.

He is wearing a mask, although most of his face is covered.

I could immediately guess who the monster was.

Because.

“Chuck… Dayun?”

With two pointed horns sprouting from the top of his head.

If you look at the reaction of Darae, who is muttering blankly.

Because I couldn’t know if I didn’t know.
