I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

107.Final Exam…Is the End of Service (9)

“…Was there a well here?”

“I just dug it.”

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Does this look like a joke?”

Are you saying that after looking at my face?

“No matter what, there’s no way we could build a well like this in such a short time, right?!”

I scratched my chin at Laferrine’s retort. Well, no one will believe it until you show it to them. I started shoveling a little distance away from the well. After digging a hole roughly as deep as my height, I got out of the hole and shook off the dirt.

“You still don’t believe me like this?”

“Wow, you’re really fast.”

This pale girl doesn’t trust people. It’s extremely annoying to think that I have to explain this every time. Should we raise the value of the name so that there is no need to explain it? Raising the value of a name is not easy, but…

“Here is the bucket. Spread it out quickly. “This is outside the camp, so we may be attacked.”

“Oh, yes…”

The water bottle will be filled on its own. Should I take a break? I sat leaning against the well and looked up blankly at the sky.

Clear. So annoying.

The sky is so clear and clean, but the ground is hell. It’s a fucking world…

“John?”

“Did you put all the water in it?”

“Huh. Let’s go up quickly.”

I woke up to Sif’s words. The sun was now slowly spreading scarlet light. Was the time between the dog and the wolf exactly like this? A useless thought comes to mind and I smile and turn around.

“Let’s go back and discuss the future.”

“Yes!”

The only one who answered with a voice was the handsome-looking protagonist.

—————

“How is Viola’s condition?”

“Woah, I have a lot of fever and I’m sweating a lot… “

At Shuri’s words, I placed my palm on Viola’s forehead. As she said, her forehead was as hot as a fireball. She almost got infected with an unknown virus and even had her arm cut off, so it’s natural that she was in the worst condition.

“Can Viola… Survive?”

A voice full of melancholy penetrated my ears. Depressive thinking is one of the taboos you should never have in a distress situation, but it can’t be helped right now. I offered words of comfort to Shuri in the softest voice possible.

“I’ll be able to endure it.”

“Don’t worry too much. If it’s a viola, it will hold up.”

Louis, who placed his hand on Shuri’s shoulder as if he wanted to emphasize that he was the main character, added something subtly. Seeing her happiness her circuit burning, she was indeed a protagonist. Of course, the happiness circuit doesn’t help here, but I needed someone to look at the reality calmly, so I spit out the reality with the intention of breaking the mood.

“Four days.”

“Yes?”

“If you do not receive treatment within four days, your life cannot be guaranteed. No, it’s hard to guarantee even for three days.”

Not only was the amount of blood loss too large to be ignored, but also pathogen infection in the wild was a problem that could not be ignored. Moreover, isn’t it possible that something like a virus transmitted from a strange creature may have already spread in the body?

Maybe it went into an incubation period, but that was just wishful thinking.

“Four days is too short… !”

Warble. I scratched my chin while listening to Lewis’ excited voice his. Did I scratch too much? Anyway, what I said was just an educated guess, so I could be wrong. But if we leave it like this, Viola will want to stay here until she gets better. I didn’t want that situation.

At least it was easier to resolve the incident if I returned before the vacation was over.

“Can we get out in four days?” ?”

I shrugged my shoulders and answered Shuri’s question.

“I don’t know.”

You might be able to go back if you dig through the entire cave, but you can’t just go in without knowing what’s in the cave. Even if time was urgent, reconnaissance was essential.

And, in order to escape, a reliable commander was needed.

“Damn…”

I can hear Lewis swearing. When I look towards the bonfire out of the corner of my eye, I see Laperine’s yellow face her her her. Her face was pale and bloodless. Is she obsessed with the fear of not being able to go back?

“Is there no other way? There is a way to save the viola…”

“The only way is to clear the crack as quickly as possible.”

“I-I’m fine…”

Are you awake? I don’t know how much you heard, but Viola opened her eyes with difficulty and pursed her lips as she stared into space with her unfocused eyes.

“I don’t want to be abandoned… And become a burden… “

“Viola! “Don’t say that!”

“That’s right! Where has your usual chatty self gone?”

“Shut up… From here to here… Don’t say things like that… You’re a bad person… “

Listening to her youthful lines she gives me goosebumps all over my body. I did that shit with my Air friend for 10 years alone. I wondered if it was right to feel this way, but something felt off. I’m not a person with such a warped personality, but I feel uncomfortable in a corner of my heart.

Still, I was aware, so I just watched in silence. Sif must have read my expression from across the room, but she looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, but guess what?

I just need to achieve my goal.

I took the beef jerky out of my pocket and chewed it. The salty taste forced my eyelids up as they faded into the dark night. It was almost time to sleep, but not right now. Because I had to get a confirmation before the day is over.

I clapped my hands at Lewis and his group, who were lost in their own world.

The sound of my hand clapping drew the attention of Lewis and his group to me. I didn’t care about the stares asking me what I was doing, I spoke.

“Four days is not a long time. So… I will reach the bottom of the cave within two days.”

“Two days… ?”

Lewis asked me back in a voice full of disbelief. I nodded and continued what he said.

“Instead, whether you live or die, follow my words. If you follow, I will take you to the academy quickly and safely.”

“Does that make sense?”

“I’ll make it make sense.”

“You mean cracks? No matter what, breaking through the crack in two days…”

“If you don’t believe me, stay here. “We will go down to the cave.”

“Me too?”

I was dumbfounded by Sif’s startled voice and asked back bluntly.

“Then were you planning on sending me alone?”

I left the precipitation.

Anyone who doesn’t listen to me will be thrown away mercilessly.

If you don’t listen anyway, you’ll only be a distraction. It would be much easier for me and Sif to go down there, tear through everything, and then bring them back.

“What should I do?”

“…Can you take responsibility for that?”

“Of course.”

Is it true that he is the main character? I readily responded to the request of Lewis, who represented the group.

“I will do as you say.”

“Do you guys agree?”

Does this mean that you follow the leader’s words? Shuri and Laperine nodded obediently.

“I’m going to bed right now. Implementation.”

No one objected to my notice.

——————

A morning where seagulls chirp instead of larks. I cut down a nearby tree and made a carrier. The jig, which looks like something out of a traditional fairy tale, was made based on vague memories, but it will still serve its purpose. I wondered who to entrust the completed Goryeojang prototype to.

It’s better for someone who is moderately strong and unhelpful in battle to lose.

If you think that way, there is only one person you can trust.

“Sif. “Tie this.”

“What about my luggage?”

“Someone else can do that.”

“But why are you telling me to carry the bag?”

“You take the viola with you.”

“What? Me?”

“The only one here who can’t help you in battle is you.”

“But… Ugh, okay. Are they giving extra allowances?”

“I’ll give you one more gold coin.”

“Three.”

“Two.”

“Okay.”

I watched Sif place the viola on a support and tie it with a rope, then turned my attention to Lewis and his group who had finished getting ready with very nervous faces.

It’s not good to be too nervous.

“Louis. You must deal with those who approach Shuri and Laperine.”

“Yes.”

“Shuri. Maintain lighting magic at all times and focus on illuminating vision. “Don’t use attack magic and save your magic power.”

“Yes!”

“La Perrine. “Take care of only the approaching enemies with as much magical power as possible.”

“Please leave it to me.”

“Sif. You… Take care of your viola.”

“Just leave it to me!”

So is it time to leave? I looked at the sky with the shovel slung over my shoulder. The sun is just rising, piercing my eyebrows and scratching my retina. What a great morning to go on an adventure.

“We will leave for the cave without delay. “If you go in, you won’t be able to come out again, so check again to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything.”

Whether you live or die, it won’t be easy to come back out of the cave. I watched the group checking their luggage and glared at the cave in the distance.

What exists inside there?

Strange creatures?

Or not…

Something more?

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

Everyone’s answers were combined into one.

“Then we will leave.”

The time limit is four days. Target arrival time is two days.

The time attack has begun in a crack without dreams or hope.
