I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

115.I Heard It’s Trendy These Days to Keep Tentacles as Pets? (4)

Cheolkeong.

Cheolkeong.

Clap!

Bang!

A sealed box left in a corner of a quiet, unoccupied studio fell to the floor and made a loud noise. The noise was loud enough for anyone to turn around, but fortunately or unfortunately, there was no one in the studio where the moonlight poured in through the window.

‘Host… We need a host.’

This body has clear limits.

This was the conclusion she reached after nearly three days of trying to escape, longing for her freedom.

Over the past three days, her escape attempts have reached double digits, and each and every one of them has been blocked by the large man who brought her and the girl with a strange aura. It was a truly frustrating situation.

‘Why on earth isn’t it working?’

This is incomprehensible. She made sure to make eye contact and tried to brainwash her, but instead of it being effective, she was only being tormented to her her heart her ‘s content her, so she couldn’t help but burst out in rage.

‘I can’t believe I’m being treated like this! ‘I can’t believe it!’

He desperately crawled on the dusty floor and burst out in anger. If he had a mouth, it would have screamed so loud that even the people sleeping in Yeomyeonggwan would wake up in surprise. However, for a grimoire who does not even have a mouth, this is impossible in life.

Still, she couldn’t bear it if she didn’t vent her anger in some way, so she hit the leg of the table she was fond of with her tentacle

The sky must have taken pity on her, as the table she struck shook and the objects on it fell onto her tentacles.

‘It hurts!’

The scream, with no way out, triggered an 8.0 magnitude earthquake in her head. In her excessive pain, she rolled around on her floor, clutching the severed tentacle. My vision is blurry. For the first time she realized that tears could come out of her own eyes.

‘Well, you still have to run away!’

Trying to ignore the pain of having her tentacle cut off, she advanced forward. There are now less than 5 meters left to the studio door. Even though her whole body was covered in dirt, she did not stop struggling to escape.

3 meters.

2 meters.

1 meter.

It attaches itself to the door and extends its tentacles towards the handle. One of her tentacles disappeared and she lost her balance and kept falling, but she didn’t give up.

Didn’t someone say that the important thing is an unbreakable heart?

‘It’s open!’

Gwaik-

After a desperate struggle, she turned the doorknob with her weight and smiled inwardly with joy.

Now if only I could get out-

“…Meow?”

‘aahhh!’

The ordeal is not over yet.

———————–

“Johan, are you okay?”

“Didn’t you treat me? “I’m fine, so don’t worry too much.”

“Please don’t give me anything to worry about.”

“I’m sorry.”

“…No. “I got hurt while saving someone, so there’s nothing I can do.”

Early morning with dew still on the grass. I took Patrasche with me and went for a morning walk with Karina.

Because I decided to be her escort today.

No matter how close I was to an escort in name, it was human duty to give Lennie, who was at a loss between handling documents and escorting, some time to rest.

I guess I could say that it broke my heart to see him sleepy with dark circles under his eyes.

Anyway, I took Leni, who was lying face down on her desk, to her room, and started the day with a walk before breakfast with Karina, with a shovel on her back.

“I think this is my first time taking a morning walk with Yohan like this.”

“Isn’t that what happens sometimes on deserted islands?”

“Uninhabited island… It’s already been almost three months. It’s definitely not that long ago, but it feels like it’s been several years already.”

How many years… Even though I’ve been there for 10 years, it still feels like a long time ago. Even those hellish days are now memories… They are nothing, and I still feel cursed just thinking about them.

“Yo, John, I don’t think you should say such vulgar language!”

“Sorry. “When I thought about the time on the deserted island, a curse came out without me knowing.”

When I think about the long, long 10 years of hard work, I couldn’t help but curse.

“I understand, but please be careful! “It’s not nice to use foul language!”

“I will keep this in mind.”

This makes me feel like I’m getting scolded by my mom.

…Mom, mom.

What kind of person was my mother?

Honestly, I don’t understand why my thoughts about my parents are more vague than about games. As if something had intervened, my memories of my family are as blurry as a mirror covered in vapor. Did something intentionally blur my memory?

Why on earth-

“John?”

“…Oh, I’m sorry. “What were you talking about?”

“It was a story about Elisha.”

“Are you adapting well to work?”

Honestly, considering his crazy shyness, I think he might still be adjusting to the job. But Karina nodded her head at my words and gave me an unexpected answer.

“You are doing well. Thanks to Lennie, she was happy that she had some time to rest. Lenny hates paperwork so much… I need to get better soon so I can delegate the work…”

“For something like that, I think I’m good at it.”

It was a side of Lenny that wasn’t seen in the game.

In the game, you don’t have a chance to talk, and you have to build up a certain level of affinity with Karina to be able to have a personal conversation with the NPC. Still, it was quite surprising to see Lenny, who had been criticized for being helpless because of his memories of the boss fight, perform intelligent tasks so well.

“In the past, he helped me with simple tasks.”

Are you using what you learned from what you saw next to you? Contrary to the image, the hair may be quite good.

“Originally, I should have done it, but I feel sorry when I see people working after eating a simple meal in the office because it is a waste of time to eat. Even if I try to help because my physical condition is somewhat better, I can’t because Leni will stop me so much…”

Karina complained with her gloomy face. As I silently listened to her words her, I thought of her Lenny sleeping in her her her her her. If I keep rolling her body like that, how long can she last?

“…Maybe it would be better to just get more people.”

“…It’s not easy to find someone to stay with a saint.”

It is not an easy task to select a person worthy of being placed near a saint. Because we are choosing someone who will help her saint, not someone else. The qualifications are quite difficult.

I was able to build up enough certificates to build a card tower, and I was recognized for escorting Karina to the academy.

Elisa said that because of her special bloodline, she had nowhere else to go but here, so unless she turned black, she was a completely harmless human being, so she was somehow accepted …

“Meow!”

“John? Over there… “

A sharp sound shattered my thoughts like breaking a window, and I looked in the direction where the crying came from.

“…When did you escape?”

“Yes?”

“That book. It’s a book I got from a crack and I can move it by myself. “It seems like a dangerous book… But I’m not sure if it’s true.”

I don’t know if a book that runs away after being punched by a cat can be called dangerous.

I excused Karina, shooed her cat away with her hand, and picked up her book. The tentacles were a mess, as if the cat had scratched and bitten them. One of the tentacles was even torn off, as if the cat had bitten it.

“…If things are going to be like this, wouldn’t it be better to just stay quiet?”

As I said those moist eyes stuck in the middle of the book looked up at me. The eyes are slightly bright and seem to be about to blink again. I flipped the book over and put it on my side. There was no place to put it, so I had no choice but to put it on my side.

It was a bit awkward to hand such an ominous item to Karina.

If that blinking thing is like a brainwashing beam, things will get very awkward.

“It’s an interesting book. “Can I just take a look?”

“No. “It’s a dangerous book, so it’s best not to touch it.”

“Are you okay. Even though she looks like this, she is a saint. Most curses or magic don’t work on me.”

“Aren’t you under a curse now?”

“Uh… I see. Can’t we still see a little bit? It looks like a grimoire, but I don’t feel any evil energy… Although it does have some dark magical energy flowing out of it.”

“Are the two different?”

“Well, it’s hard to explain in words, but it’s a little different. “Irregular energy is dangerous, but in some cases, gloomy magical power is just an innate attribute… Like Elisha.”

Ah.

I understood it right away.

“…I’ll show you while I’m holding it, so don’t hold it with your hands.”

I moved in front of Karina, stayed about two steps away, and showed her the book. Also, cover her eyes with your hands as she can emit light from her eyes. When a tentacle slaps the back of my hand, it’s just a little annoying because it’s less powerful than a punch. Karina, who had been staring at the book for quite some time, opened her mouth.

“…I thought it was something like a black magic book because it came from a place overflowing with zombies, but it seems to have a slightly different texture. Hmm, should I say it feels like a kind of scripture…”

“This is a scripture?”

It’s the most surprising sound I’ve heard today.

That this tentacled book was a scripture was as shocking a piece of information as the fact that Milia had eaten all of her carrots last night.

“Maybe not. It could just be a book that infuses that kind of energy… I don’t have much knowledge about this side, so it’s not accurate. Wouldn’t it be better to ask Merlin?”

“…I guess so.”

I don’t know if it was my mood, but the word “Merlin” Seemed to make tentacles cling to my hand even more.

…Do you know Merlin?

That can’t be possible.

I put the now more calm tentacle under my arm and grabbed Patrasche’s handle with one hand.

It was time to resume the walk that had stopped for a while.

—————-

‘That’s the only way left!’

She hasn’t broken down yet.
