Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 100

Seo-ah Han and Da-in Choi, who were by her side, were also agitated at the words, but they did not ask any questions.

It’s because I haven’t read my intentions correctly yet.

In such a subtle atmosphere, Xiao Chen gave a sharp gaze to Woo Ki-bum, who was beside him.

“Is it different from what you heard?”

“… It must be a lie to avoid the situation. Doesn’t your sister know that this damn maze is no ordinary space?”

Surely that was a common judgment. Coincidentally, though, I really knew roughly how to get out of this place.

So, based on that information, I had no choice but to convince Xiao Chen.

“This is a testing ground that someone has created with a clear purpose. To select a specific person who meets the criteria.”

“What exactly is that?”

“That I don’t know yet.”

“… … .”

“But what is certain is that the task of sorting is hidden here and there, and you have to complete them one by one in order to escape from this place.”

There is not too much hesitation to call it a simple lie. Besides, if this is enough, it’s not just catching a cloud, it’s a pretty detailed explanation.

Not only Xiao Chen, but also Woo Ki-bum, who had been imprisoned here for a long time, began to look hopeful.

“So, can you get it done?”

“At least you are. But he will need the cooperation of his colleagues.”

In a nutshell, I was asking you not to damage our power by touching us for nothing, as we will somehow get you out of here.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen nodded, judging that it wasn’t just nonsense.

“great.”

“… sister!”

“Instead, if there is no result after a week, then I will personally visit you and collect the price.”

Xiao Chen could afford it.

It was an action that came out knowing that neither us who are here now nor Yoo Tae-jin, a first-class exorcist, could be a match for her.

“… thank you.”

In this way, we managed to get out of the crisis and return to the ruins area, the home of Yoo Tae-jin and his party.

However, now, unintentionally, the time limit of one week has been applied.

“… Brother, are you okay?”

“uh. No problem.”

But I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled. It was because he had already made up all the estimates in his head.

‘I’d rather be fine.’

Since there is a kind of coercion called Xiao Chen, Yoo Tae-jin and his party have no choice but to take action to get out of the maze in earnest, no matter what.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t this be a story where I just need to move this member to clear the maze within a week and take away the reward?

‘As an added bonus, if possible, Xiao Chen should bury his bones here.’

Of course, she won’t be treated lightly either, but I’m a kind of regular who knows all the truth about this maze.

At least in this Black Forest, it’s impossible for her to get ahead of me, even if she’s an elite exorcist.

‘If the situation has already been created, it is foolish to pass up the opportunity.’

I will declare it here now.

A week later. She will forever regret what happened today that allowed me to act freely.

***

To Tae-jin Yoo and his party who returned from the search, we delivered everything that happened during the day.

“That is a big deal. Woo Ki-beom and his crew, who broke their promises, and even powerful helpers.”

“Damn it, f*ck my bastards! Where are you?”

“… yes uncle I’m okay. It’s thanks to the kids.”

At Da-in Choi’s words, Jang Han-soo and Choi Tae-gil stared at me with eyes that could not easily believe.

“Did this Sannim really fight on an equal footing with Woo Ki-bum? Can’t you? I hate to admit it, but he is a real talent.”

“… To be honest, I can’t imagine it, but it’s probably not a lie as much as someone who’s seen it in person.”

And, suddenly, the topic moved on to the next agenda. In fact, it can be said that this is where it is important.

“Her power is beyond anything you can imagine. If they came after us, literally everyone here would be dead.”

“… Even so, isn’t that too much of an assertion?”

“Ts. there’s nothing to see I was so frightened that it was impossible to make a proper decision. In the first place, you don’t even know the skills of a leader yet.”

Jang Han-soo and Choi Tae-gil sent negative comments with a slight displeasure, but I, with emotional functions, can make a much more accurate judgment than simply guessing with my eyes.

Even though Yoo Tae-jin is an exorcist with excellent skills, it was clear that he would not be able to hold out for less than five minutes if he had to fight with Xiao Chen.

“I know her identity.”

“what?”

“She is Xiao Chen, a member of the international wanted organization Night School. Are you ready to deal with it?”

“T, the express?”

Everyone’s expression hardened at those words. It was only now that I realized that things were not normal.

In the midst of everyone’s silence, leader Yoo Tae-jin, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“If it’s Xiao Chen, I’ve heard of it. She is definitely a top-level exorcist.”

“Gee, damn it, that’s not what we’re going to do… … ?”

Choi Tae-gil seemed to have completely lost his mind. That’s a super exorcist It was an existence that was difficult to see from the outside.

Seeing that reaction, Taejin Yoo exhaled a heavy breath.

“I understand the situation. It’s definitely a crisis. But I don’t think you’ve heard the most important thing.”

How we got out against such Xiao Chen, that would be questionable.

In anticipation of the reaction that would appear soon, I forwarded the facts that had happened before to the party as it was.

“… Isn’t this crazy? Why did you make such a bluff against the express team?”

“Daddy, it was unavoidable. Otherwise, they would have already taken us hostage and tried to summon the leader.”

“No, it is, but… … .”

Choi Tae-gil nervously scratched his head as if he could not find a way out.

If this is the case, I have roughly explained the circumstances before and after.

Then, without further ado, I finally brought out the real main point.

“There really is a way out, not bluffing.”

“… What does that mean?”

“Of course, it will be very hard work, but nothing is necessarily impossible.”

“Kang Yoon-kun, is that really true?”

I slowly nodded to Yoo Tae-jin, who was looking at me with a serious look.

“… Hey, you can’t get past this as a joke. Do you know? We’ve been through this damn maze for 7 years without a milestone. Still, I haven’t been able to find a clue.”

Choi Tae-gil’s voice was desperate. They must have risked their lives to escape from this place more than anyone else, so it was not unusual.

Then I started to unravel some of the information I had.

“I have read all the materials you have researched and organized. You must have guessed that this is a giant barrier that someone deliberately created.”

“okay. That’s what I found out while looking around the inside. I have seen with my own eyes the unidentified structures and places that have been touched by people.”

“Then I will tell you. To put it bluntly, it was the ancient witch who created this maze-like confrontation system.”

Upon hearing this, Choi Tae-gil and Jang Han-soo’s expressions became strange. That’s a witch, because it was such a nonsensical thing to say.

“Well, there must have been a time when witches actually existed, but they must have been cut off in the old evening?”

It wasn’t wrong. However, the witch Verdi, who created the four sections of this eternal maze, succeeded in creating a world of confrontation that would last forever after her death. And applied it as it is to the maze of eternity.

In the atmosphere of not knowing English, unexpectedly, Yoo Tae-jin’s support fire flew.

“… Probably true. I didn’t bring it up because I wasn’t sure, but I guessed that way in the back of my mind. At least in the deepest ruins, their methods were clearly visible.”

It was quite surprising. As a first-class exorcist, he seems to have had some knowledge of witches that have been almost forgotten in modern times.

“… If the leader says that, I have no choice but to believe it.”

“Then, if that witch made up this place, what the hell am I supposed to do?”

“You have to qualify. Qualifications to receive the knowledge of the witches hidden here.”

To be more precise, this Eternal Labyrinth is a sort of screening site created by the witch Verdi to find descendants who will continue her knowledge.

The method was really nasty, but in terms of games, it meant that it was a dungeon-like place where you could get talent.

“… It’s a bit embarrassing, but it makes sense.”

Unidentified structures inside the Black Forest, and mysterious spaces with hidden meanings.

If all of this is like a test for selection, roughly the nuances match.

“… Even so, nothing has changed, has it? We didn’t know the intentions either, we were just guessing that something had to be achieved with them.”

Jang Han-soo’s words were justified.

However, that’s why I took the time to come here on purpose. An object that was secretly hidden here that could convince everyone without having to forcefully explain it.

turuk.

“If you look at this, you will understand. The witch’s diary. It contained clues to qualifying.”

“… Is that for real?”

By presenting this, all the sources of my knowledge become clear.

Tae-jin Yoo, who took the old book I threw out of my arms, opened it up in front of everyone and began to read the contents.

And the whole time I was reading it, my expression changed from moment to moment.

“… This seems to be unmistakable.”

“What a f*cking bitch, it’s real! Did something like this exist here? How the hell did you find this?”

Choi Tae-gil was embarrassed, but he could not hide his joy. In a situation where he had given up almost everything and put it down, he had finally found a clue to his escape, so it was worth it.

However, the facial expressions of the party, who seriously looked at the contents, were not good even with empty words.

“… This is a great achievement. Thanks to Kang Yoon-kun, things have progressed in an instant. I’m sure everything written down is true.”

but.

“Honestly, I will ask for your opinion. Do you think this is really possible with these people now?”

The problem was that.

Why is the maze of eternity counted as a labyrinth that cannot be attacked?

It was because the process of obtaining the witch’s approval was so difficult and absurd.

Of course, the people gathered here were enough to be called reversal men, but to be honest, it wasn’t enough.

In fact, in the fourth episode of the series, the protagonists and the group attacked the Guilty Labyrinth, the southern section of the Eternal Labyrinth, and included three first-class people in one limited express.

In comparison, we are as shabby as a lamp in front of the sun.

However, nevertheless, I asserted without hesitation in the slightest.

“Yes. Available.”

Everyone in the room looked at me with incomprehensible faces, but my thoughts remained the same.

Because this place was none other than the ‘Black Forest’.

And ‘Black Forest’ was the only place I was in charge of development among the four areas of the Eternal Maze.
