I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 68. Illusion (2)

Episode 68

One

I expected it, but he didn’t give me an easy answer. It wouldn’t be strange to say that being a nursery school is a complex.

So, if he didn’t tell me, I thought I’d do some personal research.

Is it really a nursery school like me?

However, he made an unexpected suggestion.

– How about telling each other secrets?

When he said that, his emotions were filled with anticipation. I was hoping you would accept the offer. I don’t know why, but I see joy.

If you accept his offer… He will tell you which nursery school he came from.

So, is the nursery school not his complex? If so, does exchanging secrets mean that I have a question?

I have a question… … Do you know enough about me to make you wonder?

‘how?’

The question came to my mind, but I soon gave myself an answer.

That was the reason I came here in the first place.

he knows me

Perhaps in the nursery.

His emotions filled with anticipation and joy are vaguely understandable. Lee Si-woo may have been waiting. this situation in which I come to you.

then… … What do you remember, who are happy just to have me come? Does the past, which I can’t even remember, mean so much to you?

Even if you ask… … won’t answer

To hear the answer… … I must also tell you my secret.

But, what you want isn’t really my secret. right?

Your joy and expectations, pride and pride, those incomprehensible emotions all point to my past. You want me to realize the past. I want you to remember me from nursery school.

Now I’m really curious too.

Now that we met after being apart for dozens of years, did you come to me because of what the past meant to you?

All you have to do is tell them that they are from the same nursery school, or give them a necklace, secretly spill information while eating, and go down a difficult road… … .

So I have no choice but to answer like that.

“okay. secret exchange. let’s do it.”

Maybe this is your intention?

Garam Shin accepted the offer. You can see the way to clear the quest. The past years flickered before my eyes.

“thank you.”

The business ended with each other, but Garam did not go.

It’s because I went to the place where Shingaram Division was earlier, but they disappeared.

Healer has no means of self-rescue, so Si-woo has to take her back.

He’ll probably come during the day, but he can’t leave.

So, Shin Garam couldn’t leave, and Siwoo is eating the tuna he trimmed yesterday.

“it’s good.”

“I see.”

Siu was worried. Can I take Singaram into the cave?

There doesn’t seem to be any problem. It’s not because I’m going to battle with a higher rank monster anyway, I’m going there for a hidden quest.

It would be more difficult if I left it here alone and a monster attacked me.

‘In any case, if Yohan Kim or Hyunmin Jin get hurt, Garam Shin will help… .’

“I’m going to catch the monster.”

“Yes, let’s go together.”

I wasn’t worried that I wouldn’t catch up. As a healer, she is well aware of the dangers of being left alone. Tuna belly fat would have played a part too.

Siu naturally went to the place where the altar was. The ice sheet was already covered with jungle, so it was difficult to find any traces of it. I didn’t get lost because I had mapped it in advance.

“Keeek!”

“Kuwar!!”

Killing the low-level monsters that pop up from time to time, he reached the cave near the high-ranking monster altar, and waited for Hyunmin and Yohan as an excuse to rest.

Soon Jin Hyun-min came running, followed by Kim Yo-han.

“I guess he didn’t run away because he was scared.”

“I feel a strange aura here.”

Siu hid behind a large rock and listened to their conversation. Garam was confused and hid behind him.

When Hyeonmin and Yohan went inside, Siwoo held Garam’s hand.

Garam blinked, but he had no choice but to use superficial seclusion. However, once activated, it can be released. After letting them know that it will be maintained as long as they don’t get too far away, they head into the cave.

I was worried that entering the cave would be rejected, but she followed Siu without saying anything.

Hyunmin and Yohan snooped around the altar.

Siu burst out laughing.

‘I don’t have a coward.’

Behind the altar, a vicious monster with eight arms crouched saying, “I’m a high-ranking monster,” closed its eyes. It is unreasonable to touch the altar.

It was then.

[Aura that is more alien than magic and colder than energy is detected.]

[I feel a strange aura.]

[(Hidden) Find the cause of the special aura.]

▶Reward

– unknown pass

▶Penalty

-X

[Do you want to accept?]

Siu nodded slowly. The Hidden Quest has begun.

On the other hand, John tapped the hideous head of the sheep and opened the lid of the coffin, then spoke mockingly.

“Well, nothing. I thought about what to do, but in the end, it’s a joke~”

“… … no. Obviously there is.”

“What do you have?”

‘That line is in my memory.’

At the same time as the quest came to an end, they also moved along the scene of the episode.

“Oh, is this? A stone statue traveling in dreamland with your eyes closed~?”

“… don’t touch Do you know what it is and touch it carelessly?”

“What? It’s a stone statue. Look at this! like this! huh?! expression! driveway! any! over! There is none!”

thud-!

thud-!

thud-!

John started hitting the statue. From my feet to my fists, I hit it hard enough to make the cave cry.

However, the stone statue was firm. There were no cracks or even stone fragments. It’s natural since it’s a monster, but he doesn’t know that fact.

In the end, Yohan, who activates Ogi, picks up the dragon and swings it at the monster.

visor-!!

And Jin Hyun-min blocks them with a great sword.

“Get out of the way.”

“What are you doing?”

“Are you trying to destroy some cheeky stone statues?”

“I told you. I feel bad. Don’t touch me carelessly.”

“What? Should I listen to you?”

‘John, you have a really bad personality.’

He’s friendly with those he acknowledges as friends, but otherwise, he’s cold-hearted and rigid. Against Hyunmin Jin… … It’s a very lively look.

‘It’ll start soon.’

Hyeonmin seems to have prevented Yohan’s sudden action, but in fact, it wakes up the higher rank monsters. If the dragon had exploded on the sealed monster, the monster might have died without waking up.

However, Hyeonmin overpowered Yohan, and the two’s power struggle overheated, and each other’s energy generated a shock wave, breaking the bones on both heads on the altar.

The monster’s eyes open. Eyelids made of stone rise, revealing bloody pupils.

They still don’t notice the monster.

The monster’s eyes alternately look at the two. Soon the chains will be cut off, and the eight gigantic arms will move.

Siwoo said to Garam.

“Can you help me if they get hurt?”

“It’s not difficult, but wouldn’t it be better to just join now?”

“I have no intention of helping them.”

“huh.”

Even if you dare to follow him into the cave, he won’t help. Not asking the reason must be because of gross indifference.

‘Are you so curious about the nursery school you came from?’

I hold on to one question, so things are solved pretty easily.

It was at that time that Yohan, who was competing in strength, inadvertently turned his head and met the eyes of the monster.

The chains holding the monsters were broken, and the eight huge arms fell on them with a pair of pods intertwined.

bang-!!

“Kujamu… … .”

Piles of rubble and dust scatter in all directions, obscuring the view. In the blurry vision, only the shape of the monster was clear.

The same goes for the two human beings being shot at by monsters.

However, it will be difficult to give a big hit. The difference between before and after the seal is broken is greater than the difference between heaven and earth.

The monster wrapped its huge arms tightly around itself to protect itself. To be precise, he was trying to protect the boulder that was shining red near Myongchi.

“Sup.”

Siu licked his lips.

I’m afraid of the side effects, but it’s true that I’m greedy because I can absorb the ability of the boulder. However, inedible persimmons are not something to look at.

He must leave for the underworld soon.

The monsters lured outside will be broken after a hard fight with the instructors. The boulder will of course belong to the academy.

I know that, but I can’t help but keep thinking about it.

“We need to lure them out!”

“I know!”

As if the growl just now was a lie, they showed an amazing sum. Helping each other, they lured Kujamu out of the cave.

Siu took advantage of the gap and moved to the back of the altar.

I told Garam to hide safely near the entrance of the cave and come out when Yohan and Hyeonmin are about to die.

“we are here.”

When the pile of stones covering the floor where Kujamu was located was removed, the tombstone was revealed.

[You have cleared ＜(Hidden) Find the cause of the special aura＞.]

[The reward ‘Unknown Pass’ will be given.]

The tombstone had hieroglyphs written on it.

In the game, pressing the translation button translated it, but in reality there is no such convenient function.

However, I remember everything.

‘Those who want to step into the underworld, call the fifth judge of hell and the owner of the underworld.’

“Yeommarasa (閻魔羅闍).”

Tring-!

[(Hidden)(Event) Finding Kujamu’s memories.]

-Kujamu, who was once a demigod, tried to become a god, but failed. Kujamu, who lost all his abilities and status due to the reaction of the reverse and became a monster, sealed himself in an unfamiliar dimension. Save poor Kujamu, who has lost his intelligence due to a long seal.

▶condition

(Caution) If a living person touches the body of a living person, it turns into a skeleton.

[Do you want to accept?]

“accept.”

It wasn’t over.

[This quest cannot be accepted unless Morale exceeds Vitality or if the following conditions are not met.]

[A bandage stained with the blood of a dead person, a rusty nail, white-burnt charcoal, a rat’s brain… (see more)]

[Your vitality outweighs morale. (1 minute) If the conditions are not met, the quest will be automatically canceled.]

Siwoo took out various miscellaneous items from his inventory. After taking out the last piece of wood, he bled his thumb and dropped it.

Then, the hieroglyphs wriggled and floated into the air, clinging to Siwoo’s body.

Consciousness becomes increasingly hazy.

The feeling of being drained of one’s soul was like the lid on the crown of one’s head being opened wide.

Although his body was weak, he cleared the pile of stones around him. It is preparing a place for the defenseless body to lie down, which will soon collapse.

It was then.

Our eyes met Garam, who was near the entrance. She waved her hand awkwardly. It’s strange to get down and pick up rocks… … .

“hahahaha… … ?”

When Siwoo was about to turn his head with a shy smile, a crack appeared in the ceiling of the cave where Garam was standing.

Frightened, Siwoo threw himself at her. It would be faster for Siwoo to move himself than for her to respond after shouting.

“blood… … ”

… … sun!

Of course, he shouted along the way, but his consciousness began to fly to the underworld at the perfect timing.

Garam’s face with his eyes wide open was the last scene he remembered. Fortunately, Siwoo reached her.

‘Sickness… I would have saved it anyway.’

Considering the speed, he would have pushed Garam and landed in his place. Its body is as hard as a fair amount of steel, so it will survive even if it is crushed by a pile of stones.

Kwagwagwang-!!

Hearing the sound of the cave collapsing, he completely lost consciousness.

“… … .”

Meanwhile, Garam was staring blankly at the collapsed cave.

Lee Si-woo’s arm sticking out from between the piles of stones was motionless.
