I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

192. Losing One’s Self by Accident Means Death (8)

Is it over?

I looked up above my head, which had become much quieter, and sighed.

Wendy suddenly disappeared.

Avalanches that occurred almost simultaneously.

And the phoenix looking down at me from the top.

A manipulative act so blatant that even a seven-year-old child could understand it.

Is it because he doesn’t like me, or is he giving me a ‘trial’ like a divine beast? I couldn’t figure out which one it was yet. The personalities of the new beasts in the original work must have been so beggar.

Depending on the number of gods, there were some guys with worse personalities than most demons.

I drank an iced Americano while resting my chin on a railing made by digging a hole in the cliff.

When will the avalanche end? Terrifying tremors are still in full swing at the top of the cliff. The avalanche had to end quickly before I could go back up or not, but the avalanche took this long.

[Contractor, we got caught in an avalanche, right?]

“That’s right.”

So, I’m drinking while looking down at Wendigo Village from inside the cliff. Ah, this bone-chilling taste, is this love? I threw the empty ice cup over the cliff and stood up.

As the sound was slowly quieting down, I thought I would do some stretching before leaving.

Even if there was nothing to do until the avalanche was over, I couldn’t just sit still and freeze to death.

Breaking and turning.

After finishing a bit of stretching, I put on my backpack that I had roughly thrown away and picked up a shovel. The upper part would have been completely blocked by an avalanche, so it would be right to build a path on the cliff.

“Production.”

Build railings and stairs along the cliff. Since the snowy mountain ground was not a special material, my skills began to create a tourist course on the cliff without any resistance.

By the time I broke through the snow and came up to the ground, I had used the skill about twenty times. I glanced around at the land, which was covered in snow, making it difficult to even see the direction.

Where did Wendy go?

If their goal was to bring me here, they would have run away by now, or they would have closed to me again. Seeing that the damn phoenix cub caused an avalanche, it was clear that it was a trick.

I thought he was going up with me for some other purpose, but at this point, I should abandon it.

“What a fucking world.”

[Contractor, will it continue to rise?]

“There is no choice.”

Even if it’s a fire chicken that goes crazy at the top of the mountain, Shinsoo is Shinsoo, so you have to climb up. I started moving forward, using a shovel to clear a path that was up to my waist in snow.

[Do I have to climb to the top like this?]

“There are other ways, but this is the safest.”

I don’t know what that phoenix b*stard will do, so I can’t show my cards already. After traveling for another two hours, I stopped moving and looked back on the path I had taken.

“…I think I’ve come more than I thought, but I don’t think I’ve come much.”

[It must be very difficult to go down.]

“No, if things go well, it will go down in an instant.”

If the negotiation with the Phoenix is successful, you will be able to travel on it. The question is whether the negotiations will work out well or not, but I decided not to think about it now.

Once you meet the Fire Chicken, you can negotiate or anything else.

By the way, Wendy, this guy really can’t even see his nose his sticking out.

“Did you plan on following me here from the beginning?”

What on earth was the purpose?

Are you trying to kill me?

Or, as a subordinate of the Phoenix, he monitored me all the way to the exam room?

Or is there some truth to what they said, and they used me to get to the top?

First of all, both sides felt uncomfortable.

If we meet again, I’ll have to question you in some way.

If only we could meet again…

“Production.”

Let’s rest here for now. Even my breath was freezing as I tried to continue shoveling in freezing weather. I managed to move my tired body, started a fire, and started drying myself.

And,

“Hey, John! “You’re alive!”

What are you saying, you crazy bitch?

Should I kill him?

I have never saved anyone who made me feel that my survival was a threat in any way. Right now-

“Hey. Wendy. No wendigo. “How about we talk openly?”

-You still have to talk rationally.

“Well, how do you do that?”

Are you really surprised or are you just pretending to be surprised?

Even though I couldn’t act, I was so bad that I was confused.

“Did you think I wouldn’t know after saying out loud, ‘I’m Wendy’? “The villagers would sigh if they found out that the legendary wendigo was this stupid.”

We’ve been afraid of this guy for hundreds of years? It is nice to see the villagers getting angry.

“What? Am I stupid? This arrogant guy… !”

“Production.”

“aak!”

I looked down at the Wendigo who had fallen into the pit and used the skill once again.

“Production.”

“What are you doing!”

“Then what are you doing?”

Should I pour oil on it and set it on fire? I was worried as I looked down at the wendigo, which was stuck between dozens of thorns and could not move.

I don’t know why, but why are you such a brat? It’s clear that his mimicry abilities are somewhat odd, but his combat abilities don’t seem that great.

If this guy knew how to fight, there was no way she would fall for such a poor move.

“Profit! Human! Let me out!”

“It’s too shabby for a being from a legend.”

[That’s right. At that level, I will win even if I fight!]

“You?”

[Why! Even if I’m like this, I still fight!]

Lue held her boxing stance and swung her tentacles like her fists, as if to prove her fighting skills.

[Shoot. Swish.]

…It’s bad, it’s bad.

“The guy who was chased by a cat talks a lot.”

Still, if you fight that tiger under the pit, you can’t guarantee victory or defeat. I sighed and spoke to the Wendigo, who was struggling to get out of the pit.

“Hey, if you change into your true form, you can get out, right?”

“Oh, I see.”

…This is something from a legend. The legends are all dead.

I sighed as I looked at Wendy melting like ice cream exposed to the hot sun. Wendy’s body was a ball of fur slightly larger than Lue’s.

Another guy who looks like he’s going to get hit by a neighborhood cat instead of fighting for his life.

I sighed as I watched the guy come up heaving.

“You, explain the whole story.”

“The big red guy said he would hit me if I told him!”

“I can catch him before he does.”

I quietly raised my fist.

“Now, wait wait wait! Because I will tell you! It’s a secret from the red guy!”

[Wow, I wish I had done it this way from the beginning. It’s so easy.]

“…Don’t say any more than that.”

I feel a sense of shame for having to pull my brain out against a guy like this.

“So-“

To refer to Wendy’s long-winded explanation… Wendy was a spirit-like being living in this snowy mountain, and she lived by scaring the humans who came up from time to time, but it seemed that she was in a situation where a phoenix came in and was eating her as a puppet…

And I actually don’t know why the Phoenix is doing that shit to me.

No, as someone who has read the original work, I can roughly understand how the Phoenix is giving me ‘ordeals’. I’m feeling a bit lethargic.

.

In the original, some monsters still popped out.

“But you’re so strong! “You can beat that red guy, right?”

“You can’t win.”

“Wow…”

Wendy whined, her voice filled with disappointment, and then whimpered as I put some beef jerky in her mouth.

[It’s so simple.]

So what should we do with this simple guy?

It’s a bit hard to kill, and if you’re being blunt about it, it doesn’t look like you’ll be good at giving directions. There’s something wrong with leaving it alone.

What a scum-like guy.

“Wendy. So what happened to the person you transformed into?”

“Uh…Aren’t you wandering downstairs?”

Is it possible to imitate something just by looking at it? It’s quite a useful ability.

Unless the user is Wendy. Considering this guy’s desperate acting skills, his abilities were worse than nothing.

It seemed to me that the Phoenix was sent without much expectation.

“I’m done with my business, so go now.”

“Really? “Can I really go?”

“Okay. Just go.”

At my words, Wendy ran out of the igloo with a happy face. I looked away from that scene and turned my gaze to the campfire and placed the heated kettle on the floor.

Let’s rest for a while and then go back up…

“Why did you come back?”

“I want to go up with you!”

“Why suddenly again?”

“I’m going to say something to that guy!”

My ambitions are imaginary, but I think I would be so scared that I wouldn’t be able to say anything if I were to be in front of him. I decided to listen to what this guy was trying to say.

“Okay. “What are you going to say?”

“We will not be slaves! We will become masters of the world!”

“Does ‘me’ also count among us?”

“Weren’t you going to protest too?”

“No.”

“Then why are you going?”

Is it pure or stupid? I took a moment to choose my words and then spoke to Wendy.

“Let’s just say I have some business to attend to. The road up to the top. Do you know?”

“Of course! “I lived on this mountain for several years!”

“How many years have you lived?”

“Oh…Anyway, I lived a lot!”

“…I will find the way myself.”

“Don’t ignore me! You big idiot!”

How can I trust you?

“It hurts! “No to violence!”

I suppressed Wendy’s protest in one go and got up from her seat.

We should leave soon.

I think we’re two-thirds of the way there now.

“Let’s go together!”

I left the igloo with a bundle of fur hanging from my shoulder.
