Chapter 1151 – 1151. Savior of the Academy
With Ryu Hana in front of her, she injected mana into the blue dragon spear held in her hand. Water was created around the Blue Dragon Spear. Water defies gravity and moves in all directions. Looking at the unreal current, she felt as if she was underwater.
『You are qualified to challenge the trials. Do you want to start the trial of the blue dragon?』
‘Challenge.’
The water flow gathered in one place in the air and created a door leading to the dungeon.
I looked at Ryuhana. Ryuhana, who looked at her with determined eyes, nodded her head. She grabs my shoulder The dungeon sucked me in and Ryuhana as if it had waited.
『You have entered the special dungeon, ?』
‘Again again? It’s a special dungeon…. It’s probably Laplace’s trick, too, isn’t it?’
Gritted it If I had the chance, I would kill Laplace.
•••
Hana Ryu and I are at Namsan Tower.
This time, it appeared in Seoul. It is because Seoul is the most familiar place to me who is undergoing trials.
For the same reason, the background of the last dungeon was also Seoul. Hana Ryu lived in Seoul all the way before her boarding life.
“Ryuhana. Let’s move together this time.”
Last time, I didn’t know the variable called Laplace, so I let Hana Ryu move alone.
“Okay.”
She calmly nodded her head. However, as much as her two eyes are burning with fighting spirit.
I held a blue dragon spear and looked at Seoul. It’s a bit different from the Seoul I know. Lack of tall buildings. Also, even considering that it is a weekday, there are few people at Namsan Tower.
‘Seoul… What a mess. Part of the city is in a state of collapse. Don’t they recover?’
The atmosphere of the city, which should be the most active on the Korean Peninsula, was cold.
I asked someone nearby for the current year.
“Ryuhana. As you may have already noticed, this dungeon is also set in the past. Is there any place you want to go?”
Hana Ryu’s head turned to one side. It was in Seocho-dong.
“… No. There is nowhere I want to go.”
“Well then. Why don’t you go to the academy? It’s an old academy. Aren’t you curious?”
My purpose was Sung Hari. At this time, Seong Ha-ri was at the academy.
“This is just a dungeon. Does that mean anything?”
“You are curious. What was the old academy like? Changing this place won’t change reality, but… You may find out some forgotten facts. Well, it’s a parallel world, so there’s a good chance it’s completely different.”
“Okay. Let’s go to the academy.”
I came down Namsan Tower and headed to the parking lot. I took one look around the parking lot and headed to my luxury sports car. They smashed the windows and forced the door open. Hana Ryu blinked her eyes as if surprised by that radical action.
“… Can I do that?”
“This world has nothing to do with reality. Be it people or things, everything is fake. Don’t forget that fact.”
I was in the driver’s seat and Hana Ryu was in the passenger’s seat.
“How are you going to start it?”
It’s obvious, but even if you open the door and get into the car, it won’t move forward unless you start the engine. And I needed a car key to start the car.
‘It can be solved by hacking, but….’
I tapped the watch on my wrist. Charrrrrr. The clock seems to shatter and then transforms into a small human form.
“This body appears!”
Makina appeared with her hands on her waist and arrogantly raised her chin. Originally, it was impossible to summon the spirits contracted in this dungeon, but it wasn’t impossible to enter the dungeon together.
“… Fairy?”
A small human with a cute appearance, about 60 cm tall. Perhaps because of her cute appearance, it seems Ryu Hana came to mind of her fairy first rather than her spirit.
“It’s a machine spirit. It is a rather special spirit.”
“Hi! I’m Makina! You?”
“…… It’s Ryuhana.”
“You have one name! That’s a nice name! Please take good care of me!”
Makina raised her little hand. Ryu Hana raises her hand without hesitation. Hands of different sizes overlap. Match!
“Machina. Start the car.”
Some mana drains.
Rumble.
The car started up. I grabbed the handle.
“Can’t even start the engine? Shall I drive for you?”
“I’ll take care of the driving, so just stay still, please.”
“Huh.”
Makina turned her head away from me and she climbed onto Ryuhana’s thigh and sat down. Ryu Hana seemed embarrassed and at a loss for what to do, but it wasn’t that she didn’t like it. Makina’s cute appearance was also eaten by Ryuhana.
“Go! Castle Knight! I will watch how well you drive!”
“I’ll take you comfortably.”
Driving was confident. I am not the old me. If I went to a racing competition, I was confident of winning first place.
Step on the accelerator and speed up to 100 km/h at once.
“Oh, it works quite well.”
“… Too fast.”
Makina liked it, and Ryuhana’s complexion hardened. Ryuhana held Makina’s stomach with one hand and held her door with the other.
‘Oops.’
I immediately slowed down. I wasn’t here to play. It’s annoying when the cops follow you.
“What, you suddenly slowed down? Increase your speed!”
“Shut up.”
I ignored Makina’s grunts and kept her pace.
“It is one. Aren’t castle knights too bad at driving? If I had driven, it would have been twice as fast. Ah, I want to show Hana my driving skills. Castle Knight! I want to drive!”
Makina chattered incessantly. Ryuhana wondered if Makina had such a cute appearance, and she carefully stroked her Makina’s head as if touching her fragile kitten. Makina did not avoid that touch. Seong Ha-ri often stroked her hair, so he must have gotten used to it.
I turned on the radio to get away from Makina’s loud voice. Instead of an exciting song, a calm female announcer’s voice rang out.
– Currently, the gate is open on the Mapo Bridge and a monster has appeared. The Hero Association is responding. Evacuation alerts have not been issued. Those near Mapo Bridge, please act calmly.
It was boring news. Turned the channel
Tooth support.
I hear the male announcer’s voice.
– The evacuation alert that fell in Daegu has been lifted. Daegu citizens can rest assured. Due to the quick response of the Hero Association, no casualties have been reported in Daegu. Heroes, thank you for your hard work! Thanks to you, Korea is safe today.
Jijik.
– A typhoon is approaching Jeju Island. At the same time, marine monsters were observed. Residents of Jeju, please prepare for evacuation. I say it again. Residents of Jeju, please prepare for evacuation.
Dental support.
-Monsters in Gangneung…
Tooth support weave
-Currently, Wando is isolated….
Chijijik, chijijik!
I turned the radio channel over and over again. There was nowhere for music to come from. It was all news. Good news is 30%, and the rest are news related to monster disasters.
‘I knew the ’90s were pretty chaotic… Was it this much?’
I looked out the window of the car again. Cracked asphalt roads, partially collapsed buildings, collapsed street lights and trees, overturned pedestrian roads. Looking back, Seoul was a mess to the point of feeling bleak.
‘Above all, there are too few people in Seoul. Even repairing the damage won’t be easy….’
Feeling uneasy about the cause, I went straight to Maruhan Academy in Gangwon-do.
•••
The academy building was also a little different from the modern one.
The location is the same, but the building is old and small. The place where the city should be was empty.
‘It was in the early 2000s that a downtown was formed in front of the academy, so the scenery now is natural.’
I pull my car and enter the academy entrance proudly. The entrance was guarded by a guard. Appearing to be a current hero, he walked towards the car.
“This is Maruhan Academy. Are you from the academy?”
“Don’t you know when you see the clothes we wear? It’s an academy uniform.”
“…… Why is the student driving… Gagging!”
I used the moment to stab the guard in the neck. The guard, who was careless for a moment, collapses and dies instantly. I got out of the car and put the body of the guard in the trunk. Makina manipulated the CCTV attached to the entrance. It was lunchtime, so it was convenient because there was only one security guard.
I opened the door and got back into the car. Ryuhana’s face hardened.
『Ryuhana’s affinity: 31』
In the past two weeks, the favorability rating that I had raised while sparring has dropped by 4.
“… Did you need to kill the guards?”
“We are strangers. Have no identity And like I said before, this world is fake. Don’t forget that.”
“…… There are ways to sneak in.”
“It is impossible because of the barrier. You know that.”
“…….”
Hana Ryu seemed to be trying to object, but she seemed to have given up and kept her mouth shut.
A sports car entered the Maruhan Academy. She parked her car in the parking lot.
Stepping on the academy ground, I felt awkward. Roughly 20 years ago, the academy was different from the air. Should it be heavy? Or should I say frustrating? I scratched my neck for nothing. Makina flew over and clung to the back of my head.
It was clear that if you said anything to Makina, she would fight back, so she decided to ignore it.
“Ryuhana. Is there anywhere you want to go?”
“Not at all.”
Ryu Hana really didn’t seem interested in her old Maru Han Academy. I nodded her head.
“We need to figure out the structure first, so let’s take a look around.”
My destination is Changmu.
In this era, the spirit department is probably having its heyday, but Seongha-ri, who has the characteristics of a spirit predator, entered the Changmu department, not the spirit department.
‘I am reluctant to enter the main building where there are many people…. It’s lunchtime now, so let’s avoid the restaurant.’
First of all, I headed to the Changmu Department building in my memory. A large, newly built building stood there. I checked inside through the window. I see students with bows in their hands. It was the palace department.
I called a student passing by.
“Hi. Do you know where the Changmu Department is?”
The student looked at me with puzzled eyes.
“You don’t know about the Changmu Department?”
“It’s because it’s not the Changmu Department. I am a magician.”
Paper weave.
An electric current bounced between the index finger and the thumb. The archery student looked at the current and nodded. He mistook it for magic.
Surprisingly, unless you’re a wizard, you can’t tell whether it’s an attribute or magic.
“If it’s a magic department, it’s understandable that you don’t know where the spearmanship department is. The window department is over there.”
“… Is it in the back mountain?”
“I heard from a friend at the Changmu Department that the back mountain is a good environment for training, or something.”
“Thanks for letting me know.”
I said hello to the archery student and headed to the back mountain.
Maruhan Academy, where I attended, had no back mountain. Instead, the Department of Sword Art is located there. It seems that after a few years, the mountain will be removed and a new building erected.
‘Leaving aside the removal of the mountain, seeing as the sword and martial arts department was established, it seems that the incident will happen in a few years.’
The spear and sword departments were on par with each other. They growled when they saw each other. Cooperation with each other was very rare.
As we got closer to the back mountain, we saw the building of the Changmu Department. The humble building was as big as the main building in terms of size.
Just then, the entrance to the window office building opened and someone walked out. She is a schoolgirl with a good body, with black long straight hair and a white face.
It was Sung Hari.
She looked at me and her eyes widened.
