The Academy’s Time Limit in a Novel Written by a Friend

68 – Episode 68 Academy Isn’t it all about traveling on the water? (5)

It felt a bit fresh.

I had many experiences after flying into this world, but this was the first time I was involved in an incident that could be called the main story in the true sense.

All the cases so far have been forcibly twisted or blocked by me.

To be honest, this case could have been the case if I was determined to stop it, but there are many reasons why I didn’t.

First of all, there are injured people in this case, but no fatalities.

Secondly, this dungeon is connected to the note that an alchemist devoted his life to.

The third point is that the villains who led this case are contemplating whether to seduce them as colleagues if they have any.

Since there is already an alliance of villains called Arcadia, collaboration in the form of collaboration would be fine if it was difficult to get along.

“Ah.”

During my search, I came across something that looked like a knight in armor.

“Oh, roseknight.”

Originally, it is quite strong among plant-type monsters, and it is a medium-level powerful monster.

Above all, these don’t give priority to people.

The master of this dungeon is more gentle than you think.

Well, if you get hit, you’ll have to counterattack, and you’re trying to punish those who try to break into the owner’s treasure chest, but there’s little chance of them attacking me right away.

“Hello, I can’t see you very well because of the helmet. How pretty are the roses? Could you guide me to the reward room?”

The guy shook his body as if he was happy to have a guest after a long time, but when the word reward room came out, he shook his head.

That means I don’t deserve it.

You don’t have to fight right away, so it’s better to find the reward room yourself.

“Well, yes. It seemed so. Shall I go then?”

The knight bowed his head at me with a strange shuddering sound.

Hmm, maybe it’s because of the gestures, maybe it’s cute?

How can these gentle kids hurt people?

“Hey! Lilac! Hurry up and get people…!”

“Okay! Hee Han! Hang in there…!”

Kan Kang-hee, who pulled out his sword, cut the plant-type monsters in two, but the monsters immediately healed and resurrected, perhaps because they were not naturally occurring monsters.

There were some monsters that were completely defeated by swordsmanship with magical energy wrapped around their swords, but most of them recovered their wounds by absorbing other monsters.

Each one isn’t strong, but it’s dangerous to become isolated like this.

So, while Han-hee pierces the road, she breaks through this place by protecting people with the light of the holy sword.

That was the strategy we had in mind, and luckily it was successfully completed.

Six regular tourists. It was a number we discovered and protected.

“The seniors are fine, but I’m a little worried about Sohyeon and Gaeul.”

Hanhee frowned, probably because she had a little more time to spare thanks to breaking the siege of the swarming monsters.

It must have been difficult since he said he was going to rescue Sohyeon and defeated the monsters in sight, but it was amazing that he didn’t show any signs of it.

“It will be fine.”

“I don’t worry if he’s alone. But if you find a normal person like us, you might be overdoing it again.”

I couldn’t even deny that part.

Our friend wasn’t the type to ignore injustice.

– Can you do it well? Believe.

I remembered what my friend said when I laughed right before we parted ways.

“That’s right…”

“Let’s go find it quickly. Ah, beggars don’t get along very well with us.”

Physical Dealers defeated plant-type monsters that could be resurrected, but the compatibility was too bad.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, everyone! I understand you’re scared, but please follow the rules! Breaking out of formation can be dangerous!”

Lilac protected the citizens and prepared for an unexpected attack.

“aaa! It’s Yuna!”

“Autumn. Stay there You must not move.”

Kim Ga-eul wanted to run away right away, but he couldn’t.

It was because he didn’t have the confidence to run away from the rose knights, who would recover instantly even if he hit them with his main weapon, a whip, and rather felt safe to be with someone who could defeat them.

In an instant, a magic circle drawn with circuits such as Was drawn in the air.

“Explode.”

Regenerative power didn’t mean much in front of the flames that followed and burned up even the completely broken pieces, but Lee Yu-na didn’t feel very good seeing the burning flames.

The first is because the monsters didn’t get along well with Lilac, and the second is that I wanted to get away from Illak, but it was probably because I was close to Kim Ga-eul, and my partner was Kim Ga-eul.

“Thank you…”

Still, I had no intention of throwing it away.

Her same-sex friend, who doesn’t show interest in her, was quite precious to her, and Kang So-hyun, whom she is trying to get close to with Illak’s request, seems to care about her quite a bit.

“What, with something like this. We are friends.”

It wasn’t a word that came from the heart, but Gae-gae seemed to be moved and her eyes were shining.

“…But weren’t you in the Healer class?”

“Hmm? That’s right. It’s a clergy major. A devout follower who believes in the god of recovery and love.”

“…But why do you fight so well? Aren’t mages better suited than healers?”

There was a misnomer in those words.

I have a talent for magic, but I’ve heard that I’m just as talented at recovery.

Above all, there was a reason why he had to be a recovery role.

“Illak is a warrior.”

“… Huh?”

Anyway, she seemed to lack common sense.

I can’t believe I have to explain such an obvious thing.

“Shouldn’t a healer be by your side until the very end?”

“Is it like an RPG game?”

“Yeah, it’s similar. It’s role play. I want to be with Illak until the end. So she became a cleric rather than a wizard.”

“I don’t know, but it’s great.”

“With something like this, why don’t you quickly decide whether you are Cheonyuhak or Kang Sohyun?”

“What…What are you talking about? I like studying abroad…?”

“Really? I don’t think there will ever be such a rival. If you think so, I have nothing to say.”

She was busy enough with her own love affairs to give her advice to others.

Thirty civilians.

It seemed impossible to protect just the two of them, but none of the civilians here trembled in fear.

The moment the blonde woman, who avoided all attacks with a light step, fell backwards, the plants became entangled with each other, losing her freedom and tipping over.

“Go away.”

Continuous torrent of magical power.

It wasn’t even a spell, but a simple discharge of magical energy, but surprisingly, the magical energy itself already had the nature of .

The wildly wielded magic power eventually took the form of a tiger and burned the knights in armor.

Salt lake 炎虎

It was a symbol of Nahyeon Kang and one of her main weapons.

She was born with a unique constitution that mimics the shape and nature desired by magic power.

It had the disadvantage of being weaker than elaborate magic when using the same magical power, but it was a talent that everyone envied in simple combat because it did not require calculation and could be used instinctively.

Above all, since her natural magical power was vast, her power was not lacking, so it could be said that she had almost overcome her weaknesses.

“The power is amazing. Inspector?”

“Sister, don’t make fun of me. I need to find Sohyun sooner than that. It’s dangerous.”

Cathy didn’t mean to make fun of her, and she genuinely admired her power, but in Nahyeon Kang’s eyes, she was really amazing.

While making moves to be considerate of anyone so that no one gets caught up in it, her skill at inducing the movements of the approaching monsters to twist each other made it possible to feel that she was not an A-class hero.

“Well, it wasn’t aggressive at first, but after the first engagement, it became more and more violent, so it seems that when attacked, a hostile signal is sent to other entities.”

Yes.

She had already guessed that it might not be a first-mover monster, but she had already given up fighting because one of the citizens threw an object in fear.

“Everyone is fine. It’s an emergency dungeon, but I’m an A-class hero, and this is Kang Na-hyun, a B-class hero you know well. If you follow our instructions, you will be able to return home safely after clearing the dungeon soon, so please be patient.”

Citizens had some complaints, but they weren’t afraid.

Rather, some children were enjoying themselves as if they were watching a hero show.

“…Sister Sohyeon will be fine, right?”

“Then, of course. You’re a smart kid, Sohyeon will be fine.”

“Right…Isn’t it?”

“And you promised me?”

“Yes?”

“You promised me not to overdo it, but there’s no way Sohyeon will break what he promised me. You’ll probably be able to avoid it.”

Kang Na-hyeon felt a bit sluggish for a moment, but she probably thought it was because of her mood and turned back up again.

“Then let’s go, Nahyeon. Sohyeon will wait for you.”

“Are you giving this to me?”

-Shurr…!

The knights made a flower ring and a corolla.

As expected, they basically look a bit scary, but they resemble the master and like humans.

-Shuruk!

The soft tentacle-like roots swayed and forced a crown of flowers on my head.

To be honest, it’s a bit embarrassing, but they welcome you like this, and you can wear a crown of flowers.

They will probably change if I try to enter the reward room, but in the meantime, we should be friends.

“Ah, I’m a little hungry anyway.”

I came into the dungeon after not having dinner, and I strangely missed the meat that the professors must have brought.

-Shur!

“Huh? Are you giving it?”

And then one of the knights, who was not very smart, offered me some fruit.

Can I eat it?

I thought about it for a while, but given the setting, it wouldn’t be poisonous, so I bit it.

“Thank you.”

…Other people are probably fighting for themselves or not, but the monsters here don’t kill people anyway.

At most, they’ll be suppressing them, so there’s no need to worry too much.

“By the way, it’s really spacious.”

I heard a voice from Yeoui as I went through the dungeon with a short cut.

-How the hell are you so relaxed? How do you know their habits so well?

“Everything has a reason. I’ve passed the ordeal of Jecheon Daeseongnim, but I’m afraid they don’t know it’s a habit?”

-Oh, you can’t tell if he’s innocent or defenseless.

“Neither way. But I will prepare soon.”

-Ready?

“Yes, ready.”

As I injected magic into one of the two bracelets I was wearing on my arm, a small entrance floated into the air.

From the similar inventory, I took out the now familiar white demon mask.

-Hmm? Didn’t you think of joining your friends?

“Yes, if I join now, the children will turn to the rear and try to protect them. What. In that case, it is better to be able to move freely.”

I don’t want to show this to Lilac yet, but if I have no choice but to get caught, then I’ll get away with ad-libbing again.

As soon as I put the white mask on my face, my excitement started to rise as if my personality had changed.

The fact that no one recognized me was a strange elation that ran through my veins.

[Not bad.]

-Why don’t you just admit it? You like that

…Uh-huh, it’s just an act to appeal to the fact that he’s a completely different person.

Villain Alliance Arcadia.

They were also exploring the dungeon.

“Oh, the performance of the equipment made by the captain is sure, right? They said that if we held hands, we would fall to the same place, was that true?”

“Just in case, don’t attack the monsters. According to the information, if you don’t try to enter the boss room, it’s a non-first attack monster.”

“…Ay, what is that boring? Can’t we just break it down and go in?”

“It’s difficult to have a hero among the civilians caught up in it. It’s more difficult if you find the reward first. It is impossible even for me to trigger the same dungeon multiple times.”

“Right, stupid, just do what the captain says.”

“Who said what? It’s a pity. Ah, I think it would be a little less if I had checked his skills during the day, but I’m bored.”

“…Go out and do it. Go out I don’t care if you’re fighting another strong hero or whatever. But remember one thing.”

“I know. I won’t kill them, no matter how spoiled they are.”

“All you need to know is that.”

“By the way. Are you the rose alchemist? Are the treasures from this dungeon really that important?”

“No, I don’t know exactly. It’s just that there’s a chance that the thing I’m looking for might be there.”

“Since they don’t talk, I need to be able to understand. It makes no sense to try to find something in a dungeon that even the boss, an all-round alchemist, can’t make.”

“Be quiet. You think of the boss.”

“I’m almost there, so please…”

According to the information, there should be a boss room just around this corner.

The information itself was correct.

There was a boss room there, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest was standing in front of it.

[Nice to meet you. Dear fellows of Arcadia. Is it our first meeting?]

A hideous lice wearing a ghost mask stood in the way.
