I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

238.Fake Grimoire (2)

“…”

“Is that so?”

I couldn’t help but frown at the news that Principal Merlin suddenly called me and delivered.

Why is the Demon Dragon at this timing?

The final boss is trying to wake up at this time without even noticing? There are two years left?

“Principal Merlin. When do you think the demon dragon will wake up?”

“I don’t know about that yet… But probably not right now. But at the latest, within this year…”

Principal Merlin trembled as if just imagining it was terrifying. I felt the same way. It was no exaggeration to say that it was game over if a demonic dragon appeared even though we hadn’t even raised all the children yet.

It won’t be half-assed like in games. In the game, the production team was treated like a fool because they set the difficulty incorrectly, but in reality, that can’t be the case.

“Can you let me know again if you see any other signs?”

“Okay.”

“Then I will go.”

I quietly left the principal’s office and entered a hallway dyed in scarlet. There wasn’t too much crowd in the hallway.

Since the only area around here is the teacher’s office and the principal’s office, students don’t move around much, but even taking that into account, it’s very quiet.

My intuition tells me there is something, it gets on my nerves and warns me.

[Contractor, the atmosphere is a bit strange – I feel some familiar magic -]

“Familiar magical power?”

[Huh. Something…A nostalgic feeling?]

I held my breath and focused on the quiet sensation. Sticky gaze. I feel like something is watching me.

I immediately turned around and grabbed the doorknob of the principal’s office. Fortunately, the door to the principal’s office opened without a problem and I was able to make eye contact with the principal, who was looking at me with puzzled eyes.

“Principal Merlin. “The atmosphere in the hallway is strange.”

“What?”

“How about coming out once?”

“Okay.”

When Principal Merlin followed me out into the hallway, that feeling disappeared without a trace.

“Why did I call you?”

“Don’t you feel any strange magical energy?”

“Hmm…I’m not sure.”

Principal Merlin shook his head.

You don’t feel it?

[The contractor seems to have disappeared?]

What on earth was that? I feel uncomfortable. I also sensed it in Rue, so I must not have been mistaken. First of all, I feel uncomfortable, but is there anything I can do?

“Would you mind explaining what’s going on?”

“That’s it…”

I explained to Principal Merlin the eerie sensation I had just felt. Principal Merlin brushed his beard at my words, shook his head, and said.

“That’s strange. I don’t even feel a single ounce of magic power. But since you can’t lie, there must be something there. If anything comes to mind, can you tell me?”

It comes to mind…

I recalled as much as I could of the sensations I felt just before.

“I felt a sticky gaze.”

“…I understand first of all. “Stand still for a moment.”

Principal Merlin put his hand on my shoulder and spouted a series of strange words at an unintelligible speed. It seemed like it was a chant, and when I lifted his hand and looked at it, I saw that my body and his was covered with a blue film.

Soon, Principal Merlin’s body his also turned blue.

“This is…”

“I cast a protection spell and a tracking spell. I’m not sure how effective it will be…But first, I’ll call some teachers in the teacher’s office and check. The more people there are to do this, the better…”

“I understand.”

So, we called a few professors from the staff room and started exploring the hallways. But what we found was that ‘there were no traces.’

[I can’t feel anything…]

“Aren’t you mistaken?”

“Probably not.” “My grimoire was the one who sensed this energy in the first place.”

“Hmm… Do you mean Ryu?”

“You mean this grimoire?”

“I heard that it was definitely a grimoire obtained from a crack. Could it possibly be related to ‘cracks’?”

Everyone nodded to the opinion of the female professor wearing the cone-shaped hat whose name was unknown, saying that it was plausible. Since Rue’s very existence is irregular, it makes perfect sense.

“For now, we will track you down, so you can go in and rest. If you feel more energetic, come see me right away.”

“I understand.”

We had no choice but to disperse, feeling uncomfortable. There is no point in continuing to investigate when there are no clues.

[Hmm, contractor, somehow I think I know the reason.]

“What do you mean by that?”

[I think it might be a matter of ‘cognition.’]

Awareness?

I don’t know what it means. I looked at Lue. Lüe said, pointing to her window with her tentacle.

[Now, look. Can you see those trees over there?

We can know that it is a tree because we clearly perceive that tree. However, when we encounter something that we cannot perceive, we cannot even notice the object or even interpret its shape properly even if we notice it!]

“I almost know what you mean. So does that mean that other people don’t perceive it and therefore don’t feel it?”

[Maybe? So, I think it would be difficult to track that energy. However, the contractor and contractor can feel it, so it might be better to find it as soon as possible.]

“…I can’t do anything alone at this time, so I’d better go back.”

First, I took the path back to Yeomyeonggwan. Not only was it already late, but if I wanted to do something, I had to consult with Carina and Leni first.

I tried to ignore the chill I felt down my spine and headed toward Yeomyeonggwan.

—————–

“…A suspicious energy… ?”

“Yes.”

“What else happened…”

Karina trailed off with a dark expression. You’re probably worried that something bad will happen again. I patted her on the shoulder and tried to encourage her.

“Don’t worry too much. “I will solve it.”

“And if you get hurt…”

“Karina. “Isn’t there you?”

“Still, I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

“Do not work too hard. “John.”

Seeing that even Leni was worried, it seemed like she wasn’t happy about me jumping into this unknown situation. Well, who wouldn’t be worried if someone they know gets into something like this?

“But since it has already happened, it has to be resolved one way or another. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to get help from others this time.”

“Maybe it was a mistake because I was busy these days? It could be so. “You may not be sober because you drank with me yesterday…” ” “

Does that make sense? A day has passed and I can’t get sober. I shook my head to briefly deny Lennie’s gibberish, and then opened her mouth.

“It’s not like that. If you were drunk, you left quickly after drinking.”

Thanks to the Phoenix’s protection, the intoxication doesn’t last long.

“Hmm…Then what should we do? Should I continue to be the escort for a while?”

“No. The escort continues in rotation. We will conduct the investigation as discreetly as possible. However, when I am off duty, take Rue with me.”

“But I can’t even talk to him.”

“I will teach you a simple way to communicate, so you can figure it out.”

“Ugh.”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“…You don’t know what it is yet, so just know as much as possible, but pretend not to know. “It is not yet clear who that energy is targeting.”

There was still insufficient information to say that Karina was her target. Even if you can’t, you will have to watch for about a week to find out the information.

“I hope you’re not targeting Karina…”

Lennie squinted as if he was remembering what happened last year. She wasn’t a very pleasant memory. She was in a coma for the entire first semester, and it wasn’t until another half a year passed that she was freed from the curse.

“I wish so too. The sight of Karina under her curse… It broke her heart.”

“Johan…It’s okay. My strength is back! And here are Sabrina’s remains…”

“If you happen to be separated from us suddenly, run to the cathedral where Sabrina’s remains remain.” “If it were there, I wouldn’t be able to threaten you in any way.”

The opponent is a completely different type of enemy than before. If it’s a foreign agent, they can use mental magic, so they could separate us from Karina without us noticing.

“All right. “I will do as John says.”

Karina nodded her head with a stern look on her face.

“Ugh, really, why is there never a quiet day? “Suddenly there’s a war, an attack, an assassination… I’m sick of it.”

“I agree.”

But that is the trend of the times, so we have no choice but to keep struggling.

“Then, I will go back.”

“Wait a minute.”

Karina called me and held my hand with both of her hands, then recited her congratulatory message in a low voice.

“May Kalon’s blessing be with the poor lamb…”
