Cramming (1)
“It’s the material you want.”
Aiden handed the paperwork to the principal. When I put it on the desk, it was so thick that there was a thud and a little dust came up.
The principal looked at the papers and Aiden, who stepped back, then slowly opened his mouth.
“Hmm… Miss Ellen. May I ask how you got this material?”
“I was personally investigating.”
Personal.
is not to ask. The Yoosung Academy simply had to thank the Aiden family for their cooperation.
“Right···.”
The headmaster reached out and grabbed the edge of the stack of papers and flipped it over. He moved on at a fast pace, but he was able to capture the gist of the content.
The document details the investigation. From the ‘structure’ of the Maiden Cus to the characteristics it possesses. It means that it has been recorded for quite some time.
The principal put the papers in the desk drawer and asked Aiden.
“What do you think Miss Ellen? About the purpose of the Maiden Kess.”
It’s been quite some time since the Maiden Curse appeared in earnest. But she still couldn’t guess what she ultimately wanted.
“If you ask me about that, will I get a clear answer?”
“Because I need an opinion from a young person’s point of view. I’ve lost confidence in my judgment after the previous incident.”
The principal grinned and laughed, but Aiden did not smile and answered firmly.
“Probably attracting the tower. But I don’t think we should react to it.”
“The reason is?”
“Because I don’t know where the beautiful Hector or other remnants are now. Now, when the number of heroes is low, the situation outside is being passed on to the mercenaries. will be aiming for.”
plausible. Eventually, the power of the tower moved a lot this time.
T.O.P did not officially express any intention to Yoosung Academy about this. However, just by looking at the actions of the families, I could tell what the atmosphere was.
The Houses of the Tower moved the forces they possessed. Not in the form of collaborating with the Yoosung Academy, but personally.
The ’44th floor – Daeshinjeon’ also started to move. The shrine dedicated to Gran dispatched 50 first-class paladins and priests to the Yuseong Academy this time.
To recover the next saint candidate, ‘Astiel Grand’.
Then a knock was heard and the door opened. There stood a young blonde in armor. He moved his arms and bowed his head slightly to greet him.
“Hello. Principal. This is the paladin I greeted last time, Arthur Grand.”
“Come here, Arthur-kun.”
A golden scabbard was tied around Arthur’s waist. Seeing the soft light shining on it, it was clear that it was the holy sword that I had only heard of. It is one of the relics of the tower that only qualified people can hold.
Aiden told the principal when Arthur came in.
“Then, if you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll leave.”
“Yes. Thank you for your cooperation. It will be of great help.”
As Aiden turned around, Arthur smiled and walked away from the door. Aiden greeted him like that, closed the door of the principal’s office and left.
“…that kid is Ellen Aiden, right? It’s a little surprising that he’s a senior wizard at such a young age.”
Arthur looked back at where Aiden had left and said.
The principal felt a certain hostility towards his tone of voice. But he didn’t show it, he pulled out a chair and sat up straight.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
“Ah, I’m here to ask exactly when the next support is going to leave.”
“Probably within 7 days. There are more aspiring heroes who apply than I thought. …So I ask again, is that accurate information?”
“Sure.”
Arthur smiled and tapped the handle of the holy sword.
“This friend really likes the candidate for the next saint. Even if you can’t feel the divine power of other people, you can feel his divine power no matter how far away.”
“You’ll have to take responsibility for that.”
It was for one reason that the aspiring heroes of the third year were placed on the missing list.
In fact, the aspiring hero did not go to the area where the battle with the Maiden Curse took place. I was just keeping my appointment to meet with the expedition in case of any unforeseen circumstances…
‘…suddenly disappeared. Even the heroes who were with me all.’
There were no traces left at the place to say that it had been transformed into Kaesong Stone. It literally disappeared as if it had been extinguished under the ground.
However, the Holy Sword said that Astiel Gran was still alive. If so, there was still a chance that those who were with him were still alive.
This time, the expedition, which was made up of volunteers, was guided by the Holy Sword to find the missing people.
“Haha. You have to take responsibility. Everything you do under the name of God requires responsibility. … Rather, the Yoosung Academy should find him quickly while he is still alive.”
Arthur smiled cheerfully, but then narrowly opened his eyes and said:
“If you don’t want to be sacrificed.”
All functions of the Meteor Academy were temporarily suspended. During the temporary school closure, aspiring heroes were resting at their dormitories or continuing their personal training.
Of course, there was only silence in the lively atmosphere of the school.
It was even terrifying because there was even an official letter asking for the support of aspiring heroes in the first and second grades. Because it meant that one day, like the third graders, I could be called out regardless of my will. There were also those who wanted to drop out due to a series of incidents.
A light is lit on one side of the auditorium. Someone was sitting under it and reading something. Beatrice raised his voice as he walked towards it.
“What do you read like that?”
Seo Ji-han heard the voice and raised his head.
“Oh, are you here?”
Seo Ji-han turned the paper to show Beatrice. It was a report given only to some aspiring heroes. There may be some omissions for security reasons, but this was enough to get a rough idea of the situation.
‘This is a phenomenon that has nothing to do with the scenario in the original.’
Nine names are on the death list. These are the names of heroes that Seo Ji-han does not know. The reason the heroes were identified as dead, except for those who disappeared, was because of reports that those nearby had seen them turn into Kaesong Stones.
‘.
It melts the human body to create a unique stone. I’ve never seen such a grotesque skill. It could be said that it is a newly born magic. Among the achievements of mastering all magic, this was not the condition.
What Seo Ji-han was reading was a list of those who had recently disappeared and died. Among them was the name of the person who was with Beatrice. Beatrice recalled those names with a complicated mind.
“You said that you applied for a hero aspiring student who was sergeant…?”
That is why I was able to receive this report. Besides Seo Ji-han, many first-year aspiring heroes applied. They were well-known prospects such as Noah Park, Younha Oh, and Yunseong Oh.
“It’s dangerous, so why did you apply?”
“I have to. That’s all.”
Seo Ji-han answered Beatrice’s question simply and clearly.
‘Because I can’t say I can’t see it go wrong.’
Maiden Curse.
As with the events that have occurred so far, he is the main culprit for damaging the original work. We had to see the end quickly before it became irreversibly too late.
Seo Ji-han said with a bitter smile.
“Anyway, Instructor Beatrice is leaving again. I can’t just wait.”
“Then we don’t have time, so shall we do it right now?”
When Seo Ji-han put down the papers and got up from her seat, Beatrice opened the subspace and took out several weapons.
“What are you going to do today?”
“…well, I’ll do this with this.”
Seo Ji-han picked up a large lance. Since the temporary closure, he has been practicing new weapons with Beatrice every day.
There is no way to increase your abilities right now. So, before starting support, I was thinking of acquiring the [Weapon Skill] trait.
‘And I must learn a new magic.’
Because I wasn’t in a situation where I was relaxed enough to care about other people’s gaze.
Astiel Grand opened his eyes. Wetness enveloped her whole body.
As I slowly got up, I felt aches and pains all over my body along with a headache. His body was stiff because his hands were tied behind his back.
“Astiel, are you okay?”
As she pretended to be popular, a familiar voice called out to her. There was no light in her locked room, so she couldn’t see anything. She had to rely on the sound.
“…are you Dewan?”
When you open your mouth, a dry voice comes out. She had no energy. She wants to recover, but for some reason she can’t use her divine power. There was no energy, as if cut off.
Perhaps Mana was the same, Dwan muttered quietly.
“Even if there is a barrier, I can’t move my mana. How’s the divine power?”
“It’s the same with the Holy Power. Are we the only ones here?”
“There seems to be more, but I don’t think I’ve come to my senses yet. I can’t see who it is because I can’t see it…”
Dewan shut his mouth as he spoke. Because I heard footsteps from beyond the room. Soon after, there was a noise and a squeak, and the door began to open.
Astiel frowned at the sudden light. He was holding a torch when he entered the room. Near the torch, he was seen wearing a mask and bandages all over his body.
The mask looks around helplessly. He pointed his torch in all directions, contemplating the faces of those who were not yet conscious.
and came this way. Soon Densi Dwan’s pointed ears are visible.
“Is it L…F?”
A malevolent voice of unknown gender rang out. It’s just unpleasant, like something sticky dripping into your ear. Densi Dwan’s expression reflected in the torch was firm. Dwan looked at his mask without saying a word.
Mask stared at Dwan, then turned and approached Astiel. Then he holds the torch close and scans his gaze from top to bottom. It feels like insects crawling all over your body.
“…you. Come out.”
“If you don’t like it?”
The mask immediately grabbed Dwan’s neck, which was next to him. puddle. When he heard the horrifying sound, Astiel, embarrassed, hurriedly shouted.
“Come on, wait! You can go.”
Astiel staggered to his feet and quietly removed his hand from the mask. Dwan, who had strangled his throat, threw his head down on the floor and coughed. The moment his neck was caught, I thought his neck was broken…
“Kuh-huh…, Whoops!”
“Follow me…”
Seeing that helplessness, Astiel felt fear for the first time when he came here.
Astiel approached Dwan and checked his condition. The part of his neck, which appeared to be a light, had swelled up with his handprints in the blink of an eye.
“Dwan, are you okay…?”
“Kolok…! Yes….be more careful than that. Even if you look far away, your strength is no joke…”
“…Okay. I’ll go.”
Astiel swallowed his saliva and walked out the door where he could see the light.
