Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 84

“I will go in first. Today’s first night is Allen, isn’t it? see you tomorrow.”

“I’m going to get up too. I’ve roughly guessed where the mobile trap is, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

Evan also showed a loose smile that didn’t match his arrogant expression, and then disappeared into the tent.

‘I’m surprised it’s not like me.’

Allen smiled bitterly at the thought of being absurd, and having no idea what kind of image he was in Bestla.

what she is saying

In the end, no matter what excuses you give, you can’t really get along with them.

He would do anything for his brother, and that became incomparable to anything.

He came here to find a way to find Julius, but what would happen if he fell somewhere else?

It wasn’t fun, and it wasn’t serious.

“… AHH. I was lost in thought and couldn’t hear it. What did you say?”

Shaking his head as if it wasn’t William, he asked Allen with a cautious face.

“that… , Do you have a problem? I want your face to look deep… .”

Allen shook his head as if nothing had happened.

“I was thinking about whether we could use a mobile trap, or if we could, we could come back.”

At Allen’s answer, William gave a blank expression as if he had been thinking like that.

“… No, it’s something you can think about tomorrow.”

“I’m the leader, so I have to think ahead.”

When Allen answered with a small smile, William burst out laughing as if he couldn’t stop him.

“That’s Allen, no, that’s the captain.”

“By the way, I’m the only one on the night, so wouldn’t it be better to go in now?”

“I, too, have something to think about.”

“If so.”

A natural silence passed between them. The bonfire burned splendidly, as if begging to be seen, constantly burning the end of her life.

tap- tap-

“Do you know that?”

William’s eyes did not fall from the bonfire.

“At first I thought all nobles were monsters. Blue blood flows, cold-blooded cold-blooded merciless to his family, and he eats feces for profit.”

It was because of them that I lowered myself in the beginning, and that I felt complicated about their actions in the middle.

“It’s not wrong.”

In fact, there were many such nobles.

Even though they are nobles, they act like merchants and wolves.

A thought popped into Allen’s mind.

For the sake of the family and power, the one who abandoned even my son.

“But I can’t say that’s right, no, it wasn’t.”

William shook his head.

It didn’t take long for that prejudice to be broken.

When I came to the academy, at most a few weeks ago, everything was terrifying. He grew up as an orphan and it was William who almost went through the bottom of the class.

If it wasn’t for one nearby wizard who recognized his talent, he wouldn’t have been alive.

“Evan is arrogant on the outside, but soft on the inside. He always tries to play perfection so as not to be a nuisance because of himself.”

It just seems overly arrogant.

At first, he was terrified to speak, but now he felt no pressure from his arrogant appearance.

“Eriel is proud of herself, but she likes to joke around a lot. do you know that You deliberately said something that could be misunderstood in order to see the reactions of me and Evan-sama.”

a princess of the nobility. How much she cringed that she would be slapped in the cheek if she accidentally met her eyes.

I knew what kind of person she was because she continued to joke around and use her attitude.

“Allen… It was fair. Although he was in the second seat, he did not discriminate against anyone. It really helped me a lot in the beginning. all really… You are a good person. I was hesitant to fit in.”

There was no student here who could not get along with other people because he was a stutterer and was a commoner.

At his serious words, Allen bowed his head deeply, not making eye contact.

“… Why are you saying that?”

“I just, I just wanted to say. I also wanted to thank you.”

William smiled faintly like that.

“If I only talk about other people’s evaluations, it’s a little bit, so I… I am looking for my sister. Did I tell you I was an orphan?”

“… No, I didn’t say it.”

“I am looking for a younger sister who was sold into slavery in the past. I came to the academy recklessly for that. Of course, I was a little lost at first, but… .”

He smiled as if he remembered his academy life, and then answered with a confident look.

“I think we can find it now. I can only think of one name, but I can only remember that I have wavy black hair like mine.”

His appearance as he said that was full of hope and determination.

Allen opened his mouth somewhat impulsively at the sight.

At the same time, at the same time, I thought that if he spread this story, it wouldn’t have much impact.

“me too… , there is someone you want to find.”

A secret known only to Linbell, Inelia, Bestla and Catherine. A secret she hadn’t told Rachel yet leaked out of her mouth.

“Can I ask who you are?”

Allen was silent at William’s question. Had she thought that her attitude had crossed her line? William smiled awkwardly and stood up.

“One day I will surely find it.”

“For sure… .”

Allen smiled a little as he pondered his words. The smile didn’t show the usual worry.

It was funny that Allen said he could do it without knowing his circumstances, but… , I really didn’t feel bad.

“Wow, your words have become unnecessarily long! Hey, I’m going to stop now!”

After saying those words, he hurriedly got up from his seat.

His steps accelerated.

When he looked at William’s ear, he could see that he was barely holding back his embarrassment.

But he paused for a moment, then turned his head back again.

“In the future… , I thought that life would be fine if it was like this. So, don’t be too hard on Allen, either.”

He said with a wide smile, unlike before.

“Aren’t we also colleagues? of course… Although it may seem that we are not unreasonable. But who knows if I’ll get any good comments.”

Then, without a quick reply, he moved on again.

“I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

Allen didn’t say anything as he left.

‘Is it too loose? if not… .’

“… it’s okay?”

The light of the bonfire did not reach the face with his head bowed. Allen did not answer Bestla’s question.

any words.

[Jacquenir, one of the Eight Rivers, enters the ruins to prevent an accident.]

The news, released hours after the accident, followed, as expected by the professors, with a great response.

– Zachnir-sama is here!?

-when? how? No, is it true that you go into the ruins?

– Our group enters. Tomorrow, and I will definitely meet him.

Even the students who were hesitant to enter the ruins at first because of their anxiety changed their minds at once. It was said that the influence of the eight rivers on the students was great.

One of the official eight powerful.

I didn’t know why he was here, but it didn’t matter.

Because his existence alone was reassuring.

However, the motivation was too advanced, so there were some funny happenings where they went into the ruins and were eliminated.

The professors couldn’t hide their bitterness at the news, but what can they do?

If I go back, I’m just thinking that I’ll have to add one more mental training next semester.

“Alexius, are you here?”

“Yes, this will be right.”

Allen and his group entered the ruins a little early in anticipation of other students coming in the morning.

Through the spiral staircase that we have descended over and over again, and through the familiar gray passageway, inside. But today, the purpose was not to go down as fast as possible.

“What if I’m wrong again this time?”

“Hmm… To be honest, at this point, I think the other students may have lied… .”

Allen smiled bitterly and exhorted them.

“How many people remember exactly what happened when they dropped out?”

They gathered information about where the space-moving trap was, centered on the dropouts for the day yesterday.

In fact, I have collected various information from William, Evan, Ariel, Milred, and Alexius… .

When Alexius activated the trap, the floor opened and then closed in an instant.

“… Again, this is a bummer.”

It’s already the fifth time.

Unfortunately, from early morning until noon, they searched diligently to no avail.

Even the trap in front of me was just a simple trap, not a space movement trap.

“Don’t worry, kids! Even if I can’t find it today, it’s okay. ‘Cause I’ll find out more about the other guys. so… .”

Allen cut her off adamantly.

Milred asked a question as if he was curious as to why Allen had done that, even though he was in a bad mood.

“There will be people who notice our purpose because of our actions yesterday.”

“But even if you notice, it’ll be the next thing we figure out first, isn’t it?”

“It will not be easy to get information now. The reason we were able to get information easily yesterday was because of an accident.”

If it wasn’t for that, it would be a competitor in the future, but there was no way to easily provide information.

The accident prevented entry to the ruins and created anxiety, so it was easy to get information.

“You must have known that we were questioning the space-moving trap, so everyone would have understood that our group is moving with the goal of breaking through it in the shortest time.”

If you can’t find the trap first, it’s meaningless.

Because people only look at the first place, the first. It means that no matter how hard the 2nd place put in, no matter what the process, it means nothing to other people.

“Maybe, I might ask for something else with that information as a hostage. For example, ancient artifacts or money.”

“Wow, it could definitely be.”

William nodded as if he had agreed with Allen’s words.

The memory of yesterday’s embarrassing words did not go away easily, so when our eyes met, the nape of my neck turned red.

“Even so, it would be very time consuming to check all the places like this… , but what to do.”

“Based on Allen’s words… , there must be people out there trying to sell the space travel trap by now.”

Evan had a troubled face when the progress of what he thought would be easily resolved was blocked.

So the group moved three more places.

The next trap was blown by a wind blade, and a powerful gravitational force stretched through the second.

The flames fluttered and refracted the air until the third last.

Seeing the group gradually losing their motivation, Allen stepped forward.

‘I’m going to have to help you here.’

Originally, I had planned not to get involved so that the members could find it, but I changed my mind.

You never know what kind of monster will emerge from this ruin in the future. It could have been a better choice to finish the goal quickly and let it go.

“Alexius, can you give me a map?”

“Yes? Of course I can, but… .”

Alexius had a puzzled expression on his face, but he politely handed the map to him.

After wandering around the ruins for a week, the map was filled with white lines. Allen began to rule out any information her crew had obtained that she thought was unlikely.

“From here on out, here and here, I will leave this out entirely.”

“to? Oh, Allen? Why all of a sudden… ?”

To Ariel’s question, surprised by his actions, Allen briefly explained in a way that everyone in the team could understand.

“When space is moved, it is undone by its foreshadowing. There was no possibility of spatial movement when the places we just excluded were explained.”

“Allen, even if it’s a possibility… .”

“Even if there is a space movement trap there, it is never too late to check it after going to a certain place first.”

As Allen continued speaking with strange force, they shut their mouths.

“The same goes for four places in the northwest and two places in the southeast. The strange dizziness I felt while moving was not the motion sickness, but the unconscious response to the illusion.”

Allen’s finger moved along the map. The gaze of his crew followed the finger.

“The one in the east and the west and the two in the south are said to have moved in waves, so at first glance it looks like space movement, but it is actually a trap that compresses the space itself.”

“… Why?”

“It was because it was said that the waves of the wave came like a wall when they moved through space. When traveling in space, the wave forms an elliptical shape extending up and down.”

“Right… .”

“Do you have any more questions?”

Evan, who asked Allen’s unobtrusive answer, shook his head, wondering if it was his fault for nothing.

“No, no… .”

“Then I will continue the explanation.”

Allen has since excluded a dozen or so traps for different reasons.

“I called this place an altar. To say that the space was moved to the altar means that it is a ritual to a being of a different dimension than movement within the ruins… .”

“A square magic circle and a mirror adorned the four sides of the room. It’s not about moving in space, it’s about sealing the world behind the mirror… .”

“Three cubic boxes and a sword in the middle… , a very rare and difficult recipe. As you get closer, the high-ranking person moves to a cubic box… .”

They had no choice but to nod their heads blankly. Because he couldn’t find any gaps in his words.

Aside from the difficult explanation of whose theory was it and where it was verified, Allen’s explanation was easy to understand and coherent even for non-magicians.

“… Allen was also a wizard.”

Evan agreed as he watched Allen explain in a passionate tone.

“I only use magic when I need it and don’t waste it, so I thought it would be different when I was in second place.”

“Hey, there is a saying that if a wizard doesn’t reach magic, he’s not a wizard.”

As William mumbled a famous proverb, he thought to himself that Allen was also human.

“I think I understand this enough… , Any more questions?”

Except for those places that were excluded for so many reasons, only two sites remained.

“No… .”

“Hey, what are you doing without going? You must not be late.”

“I knew that Junior Allen had a knack for space, but I didn’t expect it to be like this… .”

Allen whispered lowly, not paying attention to their gaze.

The time has come to end the exploration of large ruins and the practice of dungeons.

Julius’s group had achieved great results for a few days and returned to the ruins.

“Let’s take a break, I’ll look down the road for a moment.”

“Let me do that.”

When Julius gave permission, Aerini disappeared to the other side of the alley saying that she was going to scout for a while.

The members each began to take a short break.

While everyone was sitting, only a boy of medium stature looked around as if he was trying to satisfy his intense curiosity.

“Well… , if you look at the structure and style of these ruins, this is not a castle or a religious structure.”

A thin, husky voice.

Matthews relaxedly concluded that this was nothing.

“… Isn’t that your last name?”

Matthews nodded at Aveline’s questionable voice.

“From what I have observed, yes, it is not a castle.”

“why? There are four spires and the structure seems to fit right?”

“As you know, the ruins are the legacy of a ruined ancient empire.”

The legacy of the ancient empire that ruled the entire continent, and that the flower of a brilliant civilization bloomed.

Tub Tuk Tuk-

“That’s why the ancient empire made great strides in many ways.”

From things like magic, spirits, machines, and martial arts to technologies that made it possible to take responsibility for the food of the continent.

“In the ruins, along with all kinds of relics, those lost technologies lie dormant.”

“Who doesn’t know that? Don’t be blunt and tell the truth.”

At the sound of Avelin’s snoring, Matthews nodded.

“you’re right. Therefore, the types of relics are also divided into different types. But here… , I do not know the purpose of the architecture.”

“Architecture serves several purposes. Residence, study, training… even storage. The same goes for the ruins.”

Magic is mainly found in someone’s laboratory or the main tower of a school that has now disappeared.

“But there is nothing here?”

“Well… , Yes. I’m that… .”

At Julius’ question, Matteus frowned for a moment as if thinking about it. Just as I was about to answer that, someone suddenly interrupted me.

“Wait, I’m sorry to interrupt, but what is the role of this place?”

Julius and other characteristic dark sea hair, Princess Bieli Kazanaf of the small sea kingdom at the southern tip.

At the same time, he was also a senior in the second year who joined the group.

“that… I think maybe jail? No, rather than to seal something… , I wish it wasn’t a similar place.”

“… prison?”
