Standing in front of the dean’s office, Philip swallowed.

Rosello Graham, the dean of the Pribia Academy, was the dean himself appointed for the main character’s performance.

A wizard who had very strong power and was competent, but strangely, he didn’t seem to have much interest in the academy.

Philip had only seen him once while working at the academy.

‘He’s someone I don’t know what he’s doing.’

Philip thought so and knocked on the dean’s office door twice.

“This is Philip Oswald. Dean.”

Then the answer came right away.

“Come in.”

As Philip entered, he saw the dean sitting at his desk. The old wizard seemed to be looking through some important papers.

“okay. Mr. Oswald. You want to establish a club?”

At the dean’s question, Philip nodded.

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

“I am listening to your news. You did a great job in the Magic Faculty practice. Professor Evelyn’s mistake for not noticing that there are demons there is big.”

“… Well, shouldn’t we be careful next time?”

When Philip answered that, the dean nodded with a satisfied expression.

“You have been doing well lately. However, as an observer of you, may I give you some advice?”

“I will listen.”

Philip looked at the dean with a nervous expression. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like I knew something.

“First, don’t get too involved with the demons. Until you can put the treasure you have to good use.”

‘omg.’

Philip took a deep breath. The dean’s expression was benevolent and relaxed, but Philip felt as if he had been stabbed in the stomach with a knife.

‘I guess I should at least know about the moonlight sword.’

“And I hope you get along well with the dragon. She’s been lonely for a very long time, so you could be a good friend. I will take measures to establish a club.”

Philip opened his mouth wide.

It was said that an excellent strategist could know what was happening ten thousand miles away even while sitting at his desk, and the current situation was no different from that.

“know… Are you there?”

At Philip’s question, the dean spat out a laugh.

“Huh, even though I opened the space movement portal like that in the academy? Faculty of magic professors must spend three days and three nights practicing magic to open a portal like that.”

“ah… .”

I heard and saw it. Phillip, who was not a wizard, had never imagined that traces would remain on the portals that Privia opened casually.

“Buy quality tea leaves and visit her. Then maybe something good will happen to you.”

Soon after, a congratulatory order was issued, and after leaving the dean’s office with a depressed expression on his face, Philip changed his expression in an instant.

‘It’s inevitable that everything has been revealed. But at this point, it’s rather fortunate that I was caught.’

I didn’t know why the dean had summoned Philip and said such a thing.

It could have been a warning not to be too harsh, or it could have been pure advice.

However, in a situation where it was not clear whether the dean was an ally or not, he didn’t want to provoke him prematurely, so Philip decided to be a little more cautious when doing something in the future.

After obtaining the establishment permit, the work proceeded swiftly. Dean Rossello Graham was not one to procrastinate.

Official permission came in less than an hour, and Felicia, who received the news, told Philip.

“Now the Ministry of Tourism will need a space to be used as an official stalemate. But the buildings built near the faculty or near the plaza are already full? The new club can probably find a room on the outskirts of the dormitory or near the mountain behind it.”

Philip nodded without hesitation.

Because the academy site was so large, clubs that operated far from the faculty building or plaza were not very popular.

Anyone would feel burdened if it took twenty minutes to walk back after club activities.

“I have a place to look. It used to be a supply warehouse, but now it seems to be abandoned.”

“Are you talking about the warehouse on the way to the back mountain? It’s been abandoned for at least a few years. No one is taking care of it, so it must be cleaned for several days to keep it in good condition?”

“If you do a little bit from today, it will be fine soon.”

In fact, it was only because of the space that existed in the basement of the building that Philip wanted to occupy the position. It was for this reason that I tried to create a club inevitably.

“… you know how to do it well However, you should not neglect your academic schedule. Understand?”

Felicia nodded roughly.

Philip immediately headed for the warehouse building that was to be used as an insolvency.

From noble mtl dot com

It was a storage facility built a long time ago when the mountain behind the academy was used as a principal.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary warehouse. It’s a little old and dusty, and the color of the exterior walls is a little faded.

Philip cut the lock on the door with his sword and went inside.

―Kyaaagh! master! spider! spider! A spider sat on the sheath of Neria! I miss you!

Not long after entering, Neria’s screams were heard. Philip chuckled and grabbed the spider hanging from the scabbard with his hand and threw it outside.

The inside was a total mess.

A cloth covered with something, an empty box, half-destroyed oak barrels that looked like barrels were rolling around, and the floor tiles were broken and shredded.

“You hate spiders?”

―That’s disgusting!

When Philip asked, Neria shouted as if asking something obvious.

“I can fight spider-type monsters, so what should I do in that case?”

―You can use a sword other than Neria, right?

“I don’t know when I’ll fight a monster like that, so I’ll have to carry a different sword from now on.”

—… The owner is an idiot and an idiot. Why are you bullying Neria?

Because Neria was crying, Philip decided to stop making fun of her. It seemed that he was sincere in his dislike of spiders.

“sorry. It was because you were cute.”

-I’m not happy at all!

Philip nodded in satisfaction, feeling that Neria was quite pleased.

Suddenly, Philip questioned Neria’s identity. She had too many things in common with people to be called an ego sword. First of all, the way I thought was a bit strange.

It was originally very difficult for the ego sword to awaken its ego.

Miracles that can only be achieved by accomplishing mythical achievements with the master in the hands of a legendary swordsman and sharing deep sympathy with the master.

The awakened self usually resembled the personality of its owner.

According to Philip, Neria’s first owner must have been a great swordsman, but it was a name that did not remain in Philip’s memory.

‘Come to think of it, Privia’s reaction the other day was also a bit strange.’

The dragon Freevia acted as if she knew Neria originally. At the time, there was no rush and it was difficult to question, so I just let it go, but there was nothing wrong with finding out from now on.

Maybe there was something hidden in Neria.

“Come to think of it, Neria, were you originally a sword?”

-yes? What does that mean? Of course, Neria was a sword from the beginning.

“Maybe not. In fact, it could have originally been a farm tool like a plow or a pitchfork.”

―Neria wants her master to be sick. Not too loud, things like diarrhea or insomnia.

It seemed like I couldn’t get any information out of Neria.

As the dean said, it seemed necessary to get close to Privia.

He searched inside the warehouse in order to achieve the purpose of coming here first.

Obstacles that were visible were thrown out or set aside, and in suspicious places they stomped hard on the ground or inspected the tiles closely.

-What are you looking for?

“Secret Passage. Oh, here it is.”

―Oh, yes.

Philip soon cleared away two empty boxes and found a slightly unnaturally raised floor tile.

It was a very slightly raised tile that would not be noticed unless you were a sensitive person. Philip noticed that it was one of four tiles used as passwords.

‘This is the southeast tile.’

It was a hidden piece with a structure that opened a hidden passage when you stepped on the tiles in the right order.

‘Was the sequence 12143213?’

Because his memory was a bit hazy, Philip had to go through several failures. As I took turns stepping on a tile with a side measuring about 40 cm, it looked like it was dancing.

Neria giggled as she watched Philip struggle.

―Poop.

“… .”

Philip, who soon remembered the order, gave the correct answer, and the tile he was stepping on cracked open, revealing a staircase leading to the basement.

―I feel it every time, but I don’t know how the owner knows this.

“Just do it.”

―Nung.

Philip descended the narrow stairs. As I felt it, as soon as I went down about 2 floors underground, I could see the magical lighting leaking through the closed door.

—… What are you doing here?

When I opened the door and entered, it was a large cavity. It was a man-made cave-like structure, with three closed doors visible and an altar in the middle of the cavity.

‘Why is no one here?’

Philip thought so and opened his mouth.

“Is anyone there?”

– At a glance, it seems that no one is there.

As soon as Neria answered, a green flame suddenly erupted from above the altar in the middle of the cavity. A translucent bear appeared from behind the flames that quickly disappeared.

“Oh my God, I never thought the day would come when visitors showed up here. On behalf of my master, the great sage Asla, I welcome the visitor.”

The translucent brown bear bowed politely, slightly bending its legs, like a human aristocrat.

“I am also pleased to meet you.”

It was quite funny, but Philip did not show it.

―Go, the bear is talking. master!

Philip ignored Neria’s startled voice. In a world where kendo can talk, there was no surprise that the bear could talk.

“Would you like to hear an explanation about this ‘Hall of Achievement’?”

The bear politely suggested, and Philip nodded.

“Aslara, who was the 3rd president of the honorable Pribia Academy, wanted the precious magic items and spellbooks she had collected throughout her life to go into the hands of innocent and clever students instead of adults full of greed and selfishness. So He made this place. Although he died before he could find any clues to find this place.”

“… Actually, I found it by accident.”

This ‘Hall of Achievement’ was a space that only Philip knew.

Philip stuck out his tongue, remembering how he had discovered this place before.

‘I wandered aimlessly around the warehouse answering the phone while I was playing a game. Suddenly, a staircase leading to the basement appeared.’

It really was a coincidence. I couldn’t find any clues about this place anywhere in the game.

After meaninglessly going back and forth between the four tiles, when a secret passage opened out of nowhere, Philip thought he had caught some kind of bug.

Philip looked at the bear.

It was surprising that a bear could make such an expression, but the bear was clearly conflicted when it saw Philip. The look on my troubled expression after drawing the Chinese character cheon on my forehead was quite eye-catching.

“actually… This is a space created for younger students. My master wanted students with outstanding talent and potential to grow into talents who would contribute to the continent based on the great secrets and artifacts that lay dormant here. Excuse me, but may I ask the visitor’s age?”

Philip answered the bear’s question.

“Twenty-two.”

“ah… … It seems that I can somehow manage that much with my discretion. Visitors can pass the test prepared here and receive rewards according to their achievements. Please check the door over there.”

Phillip looked at the three doors, guided by the bear.

The words ‘valor,’ ‘wisdom,’ and ‘knowledge’ floated and glowed on the surface of the door.
