There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 30

12. Heir of Triston (1)

The entrance to the Hisperiif intro dungeon.

In front of him were the students who had been in the same group the last time.

‘Jeep, it’s kind of awkward.’

Today is the day of the scheduled retest of the Hisperif Dungeon.

Unlike last week when there were definitely close to 300 students gathered together, our party was the only one waiting in front of the entrance.

This was because group retests were conducted at different times to prevent overlapping movement lines or a disaster like the last time, and two leaders were assigned to each group.

But even taking that into consideration, the fact that there are so few people means that the rest of the groups have successfully cleared the dungeon.

In the end, because of my actions, the team members received the result of a ‘retest’, so even if you complain to me, there is nothing to say.

So, as a sign of my surname, I bought some bread from Mr. Dusuk’s grocery store and brought them back… … .

I don’t know if this will work.

gulp.

I swallowed dry saliva and walked towards the crew. Is it not possible to greet each other by waving your hand warmly?

“Are you here?”

“Oh, yes.”

The first person to speak to was the captain, Beltane. Originally, he was a guy who couldn’t express his emotions at all, but today he seemed a little colder.

‘This attack must be a thin ice sheet.’

Still, I was glad that I was safe and hoped that I might be welcomed.

In this atmosphere, let alone welcome, it was fortunate if it did not fit.

“Hey, I’m sorry. You put me at a disadvantage because of me.”

I bowed my head apologizing and handed the bag of bread to Beltane.

“As a sign of a small castle, I only picked delicious and expensive ones. Eat them when attacking.”

Beltane’s eyebrows then furrowed. A cold voice came out of his mouth.

“What are you talking about? Why are you apologizing?”

“uh??”

“You’re just going to save your friend. Of course you have to.”

what?

This wasn’t the reaction I was expecting.

“Even if you did damage because of me?”

“Okay, it’s a thing of the past. If it were me, I would have done the same. No one in our team thinks that way.”

The stiff muscles of the face are gradually released.

“Why do you walk around like a zombie, but is it only because of that?”

Ahh.

To be honest, I almost had tears in my eyes. The moment I was about to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, a heavy palm patted my back.

I flinched and turned my head, and a rock-sized face was smiling broadly.

“That’s right! You did an honorable job! I heard rumors that you killed a lot of monsters in that dungeon by yourself! After all, you’re a strong person I’ve recognized!”

“Elka, you too…”

I looked at the faces of the members again. Everyone looked like they didn’t care.

Was it just because of my guilt that I felt that way before?

“Hehehe, these cool bastards. Thank you so much!”

“Then we should definitely compensate, not just words. Were you planning on using this bread?”

Beltane wiggled his fingers and added.

“So, please take care of the vanguard today. If you spill even one, I will hold you accountable immediately.”

I nodded vigorously. Suddenly, Aidan also came to my side and smiled brightly.

“Please take good care of me today, Mr. Baek San-woo.”

Is this the quality of the main character’s party?

It’s a comradeship that really makes my heart magnify.

“Then it seems like everyone has gathered. Let’s enter slowly.”

The professor, who finished counting the number of people, clapped his hand to draw attention.

Unlike the last time when there was a shortage of manpower and even assistant professors and senior students were sent as guides, this time, at least two assistant professor-level personnel will be introduced as guides.

Anyway, he’s a professor.

Compared to the teaching assistants, the level of stability is different.

Therefore, the facial expressions of the members seemed much more comfortable than the last time. It’s a dungeon I’ve experienced once, and safety management is also done with certainty.

“As of the present time, we will start the retest of the 10 group Hisperiif introductory dungeon. Entry!”

Beep profit!

With the whistle to signal the start, we once again stepped into the darkness.

* * *

“Arthur goes straight into close combat! Arin! Aim for the weak spot on the right while we draw our attention!”

In keeping with Beltane’s direction, it moves in unison, regardless of the other departments.

Also known as ‘Doom Skull’.

Contrary to the last wolf robo, as an undead boss, he receives additional damage from physical attacks.

Therefore, the wizards, including Beltane, were drawing their attention by shooting magic from the rear.

Nettle!

An arrow that flew accurately was pierced into its joint. When he ripped through the tough muscles that make up his bones, the cursed giant opened his mouth wide in pain.

Stay away from this, and powerful destructive magic rushed towards the wound.

Among magic, the undead has a fire property called rat poison.

The heat in the thick mana turned into flames and hit him.

The flesh that still has vitality is burning, and bare arms hang helplessly on the floor.

“Hahahahaha!! It’s big, but the movements are slow and boring!!”

Barbarian Elka races over the arms that are drooping like that.

Reaching from the ground to the boss’s head in an instant, he leapt into the air and slammed the skull with his sword.

Boom! Quickly.

No matter how huge the boss, he could not easily withstand Elka’s blow.

Doom Skull’s skull cracked with a bloody sound, and the one who fell completely out of the pincer staggered.

“Sanwoo, it is now!”

I grabbed my sword at the sound of a voice coming from behind.

Now it was time to put an end to it.

What they are aiming for is the small flesh left on both ankles, the Achilles tendon.

If you cut it down, the Doom Skull loses its balance and falls to the ground, shattering and oxidizing to bone powder.

“The ending is left up to you!!”

With Elka’s loud voice as a signal, I sprinted to the ground in an instant and ran forward.

Even if the wind blows against his face, he does not turn his gaze toward the goal. Still, he calmly calculated the trajectory of the sword.

A boss who staggers without getting out of Elka’s blow.

I pinpointed the moment he took one step to balance.

In accordance with the movement, he turned his body sideways and swung his sword. The sharply sharpened blade flashed, and it cut cleanly the traces of life that had not yet rotted.

spatula.

As soon as the sensation of ripping his flesh came over, he twisted and leapt towards the other ankle.

Since one side had already been cut, Doom Skull’s body was slowly leaning forward. lost its center of gravity.

I let my hands hang down and adjust the trajectory of the sword.

The sword, which advanced in a twisted diagonal line, slashed the target cleanly once again.

Kugu Palace.

“Uhhh-“

Doom Skull’s final word flows out next. With a low-pitched scream, the body of the colossus collapsed.

The Doom Skull, which had been moving with its shape until recently, was crumbled into a huge pile of powder as if it melted as soon as it touched the floor.

His bone dust rises into the air, obscuring his vision like a mist.

‘If you drink this as it is, it would be perfect to become a soldier.’

Instinctively, I covered my nose and mouth in the hazy dust cloud and held my breath.

As the dust settles, the faces of the crew members waiting from the other side come in. They made eye contact with me for a moment, then immediately raised their arms high into the sky and shouted.

“I got it!!!!!”

“Wow!”

It was so much easier than I thought. After all, the party that has been put together is different, isn’t it?

Obviously, the linkage shown today was very flexible, and everyone was quick to move when he was hesitant.

After all, it only took us an hour to get here in the first place. There’s no such thing as a boss.

Now that there is no need to fight, I put the sword into its sheath.

Sureung-

The blade of the sword is sucked into the house with a shuddering noise.

Ars Longa’s special steel sword.

It is a weapon that I used with a lot of heart this time in place of the sword that was broken in the last Nordin battle.

It’s a rare weapon, and it’s a sword that boasts pretty good performance among store-selling weapons.

After all, weapons are expensive. When I just cut it, the taste of my hand was just so soft.

“The finish was neat too!”

Elka approached and said, holding a sword the size of my body behind her back. If I fell from 4m, I would have sprained somewhere.

Rather, it seems more energetic.

“When I see your swordsmanship, my heart races! Did you grow up again in those days?”

“What else do you float like that?”

I was worried about what would happen if I grabbed my ankle because I couldn’t raise my status.

My body is doing better than I thought.

Even if it were to cut off the Achilles tendon right away, it was a movement that I would not have even dared to do when I first grabbed the sword.

‘After all, it was a good choice to learn the martial arts in advance.’

Guess who isn’t a martial artist? By learning various movements of the firefighting style, the flexibility of the body greatly improved.

Although it’s a stat that isn’t specifically stated in the game’s numbers, flexibility is a pretty useful ability in real fights.

Even with the same roll, the degree of injury is significantly different.

If you increase it just a little bit, it might be possible to make even more acrobatic movements than it is now.

“But you’re not going to the compensation room?”

“Ah, I forgot.”

It seems that even Beltane, who is blunt in everything, is quite happy if he can read his expression clearly.

He coughed hammm, then put the glasses back on and gathered the personnel together.

“Now that you have cleared it, let’s go to the reward room.”

There is always a reward room in the dungeons of Paradise Academia. It’s a remnant of the days when the demon king ruled the island.

At the most, if you shape the dungeon and clear it, you will be rewarded. It was a really typical demon king-like idea.

What… … .

It’s an ‘introductory’ dungeon, so you can’t expect good rewards. What I need to pay attention to now was Aidan’s actions.

Before entering the boss room, the main character in question showed a sign of constant confusion.

Not once, but in a row, and since this was a retest, it would not be easy to accept that the same voice as the last time was heard.

In my memory, “Come to me. Find the hidden space at the end of the dungeon.” or “Only you can drive out the darkness that will soon fall” must have been a nuanced word.

Actually, from the 3rd round onwards, I just cleared through the wall, so Triston’s voice had long since faded from my memory.

I pretended to be indifferent and stuck to Aidan’s side.

Turning her head with an anxious gaze, it seems that Triston’s voice can still be heard.

It was very sad and also funny, so I decided to play around with it a bit.

“Aidan, what have you been looking for since a while ago?”

“Ah, San-woo Baek. Can’t you hear the voice…?”

I responded with a smirk in response to that reaction.

“voice?”

“Remember the last time I said I had hallucinations? It’s the same as back then. No, it even got bigger.”

Aidan put one hand on my forehead with a serious expression on his face.

“It’s a little middle-aged voice. Haha, that’s really strange. Maybe it’s like a monster’s curse?”

They seem to be taking it more seriously than expected.

As long as Aidan is the protagonist of Paradise Academia anyway, this event cannot be passed.

So, wouldn’t it be okay to give a light hint with the feeling of pushing your back a little?

Maybe it’s the voice of a soul sleeping here, right? How about following along as I say it?

The moment I was about to spit out the word.

“Can you hear this voice, sensitive person?”

Suddenly, a voice started ringing in my head.
