There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 46

17. I don’t meet any spirits (3)

Aidan couldn’t believe his eyes. A blue eagle that appeared in a chilly storm on a warm spring day.

He is also an official ‘magic’ belonging to the Ortana Faculty.

The fact that that mysterious, even wonderful, being was a spirit could be known without saying a word.

‘The rumors were true.’

Rumors had been heard from within the faculty that the spirits that had recently disappeared had returned, but he never dreamed that he would actually witness them.

Aidan turned his attention to Baek San-woo, who had led him all the way here. He looked at the eagle, as if it was no big deal, and picked his ears.

It is a relationship that has been continued from the introductory dungeon to Hisperiif. Even at that time, he laid all the foundations for himself to become Triston’s successor.

There was nothing suspicious about it.

At first he said he couldn’t hear his voice, but later he heard his voice and changed his words.

After that, he skillfully found a way and even defeated the guardian golem.

‘If I had known the information beforehand, I could have read it all. Perhaps the successor of Triston would not be me, but Mr. Sanwoo.’

However, in conclusion, Sanwoo Baek was only focusing on Aidan’s growth.

‘A hero’s guide, then is it a human right?’

Such a question came naturally.

Aidan, who was only an ‘incoming student’ until just a few days ago, could not understand Baek San-woo’s actions.

“Sanwoo-san, how did this happen?”

“Grundel, the 4-star Frigid Spirit, has found you.”

Then, a blue eagle gently lands on a newly sprouted, unidentified tree.

【That’s right. I asked for it.]

Aidan’s doubts only increased.

Who is Baek San-woo, and the spirit who has disappeared for 300 years asks him?

Aidan still trusted him, but at the same time was wary of him.

The reason is simple.

It was because I was afraid.

A hero’s guide who predicts everything and guides him. He didn’t know if it was right to see him as a student equal to him.

No, from the beginning, it was questionable whether it was even human.

He wanted him to be treated as just an ordinary motive, a close friend with whom he shared a secret… … Every time he saw this, Aidan felt a great sense of distance.

【You can feel the goodness in your eyes. With a cold head and a hot heart. I think I understand why Triston chose you.]

Every time Gryndel flapped its wings, a cold wind blew. Aidan put her clothes together in the chilly weather, and made eye contact with the spirit of the frigid cold.

“Why are the four-star spirits looking for me?”

【Soon there will be great chaos. We need you to prepare for that gruesome future.]

Aidan looked at Baek San-woo’s face. He smiled at Aidan and nodded.

As if he already knew it. Aidan felt a very foreign feeling in the relaxed atmosphere that was emanating from it.

【Now is the time to fulfill the contract according to fate. Please accept my soul that burns in the tree.]

Grundel’s voice resounded in a clear voice.

Aidan approached the tree as if possessed, and grabbed the blue flame with both hands.

Then a strange sensation flowed into his body. The head and voice become cold, and the heart rate gradually slows down.

The feeling of drowning in a huge pool of water and sinking into the deep, deep sea.

But not afraid. Rather, it was peaceful. With her body covered in spirit energy, Aidan peered into Grundel’s world.

【Please tell me your name】

“This is Aidan Christopher.”

【Triston’s successor, Aidan Christopher. I will engrave that name on my soul. Neu-woong’s contractor, please be the guarantor of this place.]

“of course.”

Baek Sanwoo said calmly.

Thunder contractor? Aidan couldn’t help but be puzzled by the name that was transmitted in Grundel’s voice.

“Thunder-woong Lioner?”

“You know it well.”

When Baeksan-woo rubs his fingers, a yellow lightning flashes.

Only now did I know.

Why did he get a request from the 4 star spirits, and he discovered the spirit tree that had only been heard of rumors?

Aidan sensed an overwhelming spirit energy from Baek San-woo.

As soon as I felt it, the sky began to darken more and more. The cold but pleasant air gradually becomes humid.

climate change that occurred unexpectedly.

‘Spirit Hyunyeon!!’

Aidan had a sense of what Baek Sanwoo was bringing.

The gathered clouds were filled with moisture and dyed black. At the end of the turbulent stream of air-

Curl rumble.

Whoops!!!

A loud noise echoed through the sky.

Powerful lightning strikes between Grundel and Aidan.

A pure white flash of light colored his vision, and the powerful shock wave made Mudge levitate into the air.

When I opened my eyes, which had been closed to the flashing light, the darkened sky became clear in an instant.

“Lioner’s contractor, Sanwoo Baek, guaranteed the contract.”

A yellow flame flashed from Baeksan-woo’s body.

【Aidan Christopher and Grundel have an equal contract. Your soul is connected to me and will be with you anytime, anywhere with the severe cold.]

Aidan’s blocked senses were opened. He made eye contact with a huge Heroic Spirit who was watching him from the side of Baeksanwoo.

It was emitting blue lightning from its entire body. Each time a lightning strike struck the golden armor around his back and chest, a flash of light flashed.

Noewoong’s Lion.

The protector of Artel and the harbinger of war.

After becoming Triston’s successor, Aidan continued to devour ancient texts about old heroes.

Lioner was a spirit that was mentioned without missing a single point in such documents.

How could such a great spirit be connected with Baeksanwoo?

【Contractor of my dear friend, do not forget your duty.】

With a flash of light in his eyes, the Lioner said. Aidan felt a shiver run through his body at the low and heavy voice.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Aidan immediately knelt down. It was an oath to the cold and thunder as a hero who will take charge of the new era.

“Hwi-O-O-O-!!”

Seeing that, Grundel flew into the air with a sharp sound.

She circled the sky, and soon landed gently on Aidan’s shoulder.

The master of the severe cold following thunder.

It was the second coming of the old heroic legend.

* * *

‘… … What is this?’

Aidan was just stunned. I signed a contract with Grundel and returned to college, but I still haven’t realized it.

it’s a spirit It is also a spirit of 4 stars belonging to the highest rank among pure spirits!

Aidan was clearly feeling the fact that, under the power of Grundel, his core had become much thicker.

The concentration of mana had become so pure that it could not be compared with a little while ago.

All of these facts continued to remind Aidan of reality.

– Congratulations, Aidan.

just two words.

Immediately after the contract ended, Baek San-woo suddenly disappeared, leaving only two words.

The more I looked, the more mysterious he was. And it was also scary.

It was because, on the other side of his heart, he became more wary of Baeksanwoo.

It was not a vigilant spirit to be hostile to Baeksanwoo. He was wary of the fact that his actions came from something transcendent beyond the ordinary.

‘Grundel, are you there?’

【Here you are.】

Her voice, which was in a spirited state, was heard.

‘I mean, Mr. Baek San-woo. What kind of person are you?’

Aidan expected that a spirit of the rank of 4th might come up with an answer.

And the answer that came back was more shocking than I expected.

【He woke us up.】

‘Are you saying that the spirit has been awakened?’

【We don’t know exactly what catalyst was used or what method was used, but… … He woke us up, and it must be the fact that Lioner was the first to answer that call.]

I suddenly got goosebumps.

The existence of spirits was regarded as a kind of legend.

It has been said that they were completely annihilated 300 years ago during the worst war that drove the entire continent into a crucible of destruction.

Even Artel, who lived for nearly eons and assimilated with the forest, did not know how to summon the spirits, how did Baeksanwoo summon the spirits?

A thought flashed through Aidan’s mind for a moment.

‘no way… … . If this is true… … !’

Aidan Christopher is a wizard.

Everything has a cause and an effect. Magic never manifests until all conditions are met.

It’s not just magic.

Because everything in the world has a law that has cause and effect.

If we apply that rule, we may be able to fully understand the person Baek San-woo.

He immediately moved to the Great Library in the Ortana Faculty.

* * *

【How was my impact!】

“I’m very satisfied. I really can’t stop giving them snacks like this.”

I handed the high-quality medicine I had left in the material bag to the Lioner. With a satisfied smile, he chewed the medicine and ate it.

Anyway, the contract between Grundel and Aidan was completed perfectly.

In addition, I succeeded in imprinting my existence clearly in the midst of it.

I asked the Lioner to fill the contract guarantee, but I didn’t know that lightning would suddenly fall from the sky.

Aidan’s startled eyes were worth seeing.

I lightly stroked the body of the honey badger, who was happily savoring the alchemy ingredients in the world. The guy makes a loud cry to see if he’s in a good mood.

【Umm, ummm, was this from Illyana? It’s also delicious.]

“how did you know?”

【It was trimmed in the traditional Artel method.】

There seemed to be something else. Is it similar to Artel Grandma’s soup with 300 years of tradition?

Well, in case someone is not a master-level alchemist, Illyana’s skill in handling materials is very good.

The more complete the medicinal material, the better the potion was produced, so it was also good for spirits to eat.

‘I’ll have to take all the medicinal herbs I collected later and ask them to take care of them.’

As long as you have signed a contract with the 4th Spirit Spirit, Grundel, Aidan will also need advanced alchemy materials.

To be honest, this is not the level of a leader, but a feeling closer to a teacher.

Rather, it may be much more convenient to misunderstand it in the future. It will be easier to understand the trends in the main scenario.

You won’t even need to go to the main.

“Now, today’s schedule is over! It was really worthwhile to compete and sign a contract.”

I lay flat on the dorm bed. Then, slowly, the hungry stomach began to rumble.

As I had decided to eat dinner with Camilla, I couldn’t satisfy my hunger right now. Also, it’s 4pm, so it’s not difficult to eat dinner.

‘Last time, I bought a snack for a quick bite. Where was it?’

He slid off the bed, procrastinating and rolling in the direction of the shelf.

【Is it better if I just get up and go?】

Lioner looks pathetic and adds.

“What about it, it’s my house. No one is watching.”

At that moment, I could feel the popularity outside the front door.

smart.

A knock on the door from outside.

Has Camila already returned? No, it wasn’t Camilla. Because I was sharing a room key with her.

If I had opened the door, I would have come, I wouldn’t knock.

I made eye contact with Lioner. He put all the medicine he was eating without saying a word, and instantly transformed into a spirit and disappeared.

“who are you?”

Get up and open the front door-

“Uh…? No, senior?!”

The appearance of a character that I did not like very hardened as it was.

“long time no see.”

Bernax Hollando looked at me and smiled softly.
