There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 67

23. Reconstruction of the case (1)

“It’s not too bad. There’s a little bit of frostbite, but it’s not a problem.”

“thank you.”

After waving goodbye to the healer, I left the temple of Canaan.

When I came out, George, who was waiting for me, greeted me with a bright smile.

“What do you mean, is there anything wrong?”

“Uh. The curse is completely gone, and the frostbite is no problem in everyday life.”

“You monstrous bastard, how did you come up with the idea of catching both of them?”

George shook his head in disbelief.

Of course, Arachne and Aaron Nortonhale were at a level incomparable to normal individuals.

I was planning to completely hide the relevant contents from the students.

‘Professors don’t want anything particularly confusing.’

The criminals belonging to the Liberation Front, who were pointed out as the cause of the incident, were transferred to the police department of Nakwon School.

The details of this case will be dealt with there in the future.

Even if it’s Aidan, it’s not something I should be involved in as I’m only a student.

“Are you jealous?”

“It’s so overwhelming that I don’t even think of envy. Originally, jealousy and a competitive spirit are felt only by people who can be compared somehow.”

George shrugged and added.

“Now you know my subject.”

“Hey, what else are you talking about?”

“It’s true, well. I can’t catch Arachne and the Death Prince by myself.

The guy was very serious. It felt strange to see a guy who always died and couldn’t live because of his pride showing such an attitude.

“And the spear on your back. Where else did it come from?”

“Ah… this?”

I was in trouble for a while.

Although it is less than the status of 5 Heroes, the original owner of this thunder spear was also one of the heroes who were proudly listed in the history books.

It was impossible to open it right away.

I scratched my head and answered.

“I just bought it from a craftsman I know in Arslonga. It’s exclusive equipment.”

“I made some money, but I spent some energy.”

In fact, Arad and other heroes were on the modest side compared to the armor left behind, so George seemed to pass without much thought.

“Still, it’s amazing. Now that you’re dealing with spears, it’s really hard to catch up with you.”

George made a strange expression on his face. It’s half happy, half sad.

Maybe they saw me as a rival.

‘Actually, the achievement is not light.’

Subdue the mid-level Death Prince, just like the mid-level boss Spider Queen.

Considering this fact alone, it was not at a level that a typical first-year student could achieve.

It’s only natural to be surprised, especially in the situation of George and other people who don’t know the details.

If we add the fact that the actual subjugated individuals here are Arachne and Aaron Nortonhale… … .

I can’t even predict what kind of reaction I’d dare to react.

I was too tired to imagine just a little bit, so I shook my head and quickly changed the subject of the conversation.

“What about the other members?”

“Everyone is returning to the dormitory and resting. I think everyone was quite shocked by this incident.”

Well, if you look closely, they were intermediate level personnel.

I was almost killed by a tarantula that came out of nowhere, so it’s only natural to react like that.

“You too, go in and rest. You’ve suffered the most.”

“What kind of hardship… you did well too. The Spider Queen was probably able to subdue you too.”

“It’s an honor to think so.”

You’re moving to the Warpgate, talking a little strangely.

Two men dressed in navy blue guards approached me.

When I checked the affiliation mark, it was a public official belonging to the Ministry of Public Safety and Security.

Judging by the fact that he was checking the people who used the Warp Gate one by one, he was waiting for me all the time.

“Are you Baek Sanwoo?”

“Yes.”

“Can you accompany me as a security guard for a moment? I need a statement about what happened today.”

I nodded and answered.

“of course.”

* * *

Baroque style building located in Central Terrier.

At the front door made of iron, personnel wearing black uniforms and hats stand guard with swords.

The main office of the Public Security Leading Department whose main tasks are to manage the security of Nakwon School and lead students.

“Come this way.”

As we follow the guide and enter the interior, a man with an angular face greets us with a sly smile.

“Nice to meet you, Chief of Public Security.”

“I’m Arthur’s first grader Baek Sanwoo.”

He gently grabbed his hand as he asked for a handshake and exchanged a common name.

“Then let me move.”

The lead manager who leads me to the underground space as soon as I say hello.

Unlike the lobby, which felt like an old-fashioned old London police station, the atmosphere there was different.

Hard and crude stones tightly surround the wall, and the smell of underground mold vibrates in all directions.

I followed the manager, sniffing the strangely addicting scent.

How long would you have walked in that state?

A painful scream rang out.

“Aaah!!”

Hearing the sound, the head of the security department’s expression was wrinkled.

“Damn, I’m afraid someone isn’t a radical…! I told you to wait!”

He moved a little faster. It seems like something didn’t go right.

I followed him without a word, and it was almost an iron fence at the end of the hallway.

There, two men hung in the air, tightly bound in chains.

I could tell at once that they were a gangster belonging to the Liberation Front.

But inside the prison, there was one other person besides them.

The red engraved pattern on the black robe and the white flames emanating from his hands stood out in particular.

‘He is a heretical judge of Canaan.’

As with other religious groups with a fantasy background, even in the temple of Canaan, there is an organization that works in the shadows, contrary to the general priests.

That was the heretical judge.

A group that exterminates demons and monsters by emitting a pure white flame called a holy fire.

To live up to its notoriety, the referee paid no attention even when the head of the lead had arrived.

At that shameless attitude, the head of the leadership reacts violently with a point.

“Didn’t I tell you to wait? Even though you’re still a student, you torture yourself in front of me!”

At that point, the judge stopped the torture. Chained prisoners hang down.

He was strangely unresponsive even though his words and actions were quite radical.

“I apologize instead. I just want you to understand a little bit. They are demons, so if you don’t deal with them strongly, they will only tell lies.”

“it’s okay.”

When I nodded indifferently, the manager looked a little startled.

“You’re stronger than you think? Well, you must have won against the lieutenant boss.”

“No. So what am I supposed to do here?”

“Cross-validation of statements, of course.”

As the interrogation is currently taking place, it seems that he intends to reveal the truth by comparing my statement with his statement.

‘Wait, shouldn’t we be talking about Aaron Nortonhale and Arachne too?’

I had the corps commander’s mark that I recovered from Arachne.

I have no intention of not revealing it at all, but can I directly present this to the leadership team and the heresy judge?

Because there were many cases where the heretical judges were extreme.

The thought that I might be clinging to Illyana or me flashed through my mind.

In addition to that, you may be asked to put out the acquired items ‘for humanitarian purposes’.

‘That’s a bit difficult.’

It would have been much better to proceed after explaining the details to Dean Irkan first.

“Ummm…”

As I was thinking about it for a moment, the chief of security looked after me.

“Isn’t that a bit too much? If that’s the case, it’s not a prison, but going upstairs and proceeding…”

“That would be nice.”

In fact, heretical judges were reluctant people even when they were players.

Because it is an organization with almost fanatic beliefs… … .

I was able to enjoy a more comfortable and pleasant play if it wasn’t firmly tied.

in several senses.

“Then the judge will proceed with it. For the Sanwoo student, I will conduct an interview separately.”

Then the judge turns his head towards me.

It’s a dark background, but she’s wearing a black robe, so it’s hard to doubt if there’s anyone inside.

However, it is very sharp as far as the gaze is deeply engrossed. My body trembled at the sensation of a cold dagger falling down.

“……All right.”

Because of the underground man, his voice was muffled, and he couldn’t tell if he was male or female.

I felt a bit uncomfortable, deliberately avoiding my gaze, and slid back.

“Then stop.”

I nodded and turned around again, and after a while I heard a painful scream.

‘It was originally a strange institution, but seeing it in person, the ship looks even more strange.’

I came up to the ground with my arms down in the air that was much cooler than when I first came in.

“That’s why you’re being treated like a shadow, ttt t t t t t …”

The head of the police department also clicked his tongue all the way up to see if he didn’t like it.

“Anyway, that’s a lot of rudeness. Shall we leave the Inquisitor alone for now, and let’s have a conversation?”

“good.”

“Then, first, write down your personal information on this piece of paper. And here’s the background…”

* * *

two hours later.

The interview at the police department was just writing a statement.

‘It was not a grandiose thing.’

I came back a little numb. Of course, nothing about Arachne and the fallen land elf prince was heard.

However, it is strange to cover up everything, so I decided in advance an appropriate excuse to use later.

‘It’s okay to think that the badge of the corps commander is just an accessory, and you should say that you didn’t know the land fairy prince at all.’

Fortunately, the development team worked hard to return the modeling of the two, so it was very fortunate that the detailed appearance alone was no different from the general boss mobs.

“Oh, it’s been a really long day.”

I scrambled to open the door and flew over the bed.

It was time for dinner, but I wasn’t too tired, I just thought about going to bed.

Even if something like this happened, I have to go to school tomorrow.

‘But what was it really?’

I was in serious trouble. This incident occurred without any foreshadowing or hints.

At least in this world, there would be no events without cause and effect.

The infiltration of the Liberation Front was done too suddenly.

Not only that, he also brought Arachne, who is comparable to the commander of the corps.

That was the most incomprehensible.

‘If you think about it, do you? The gold mine is not a suitable place to initiate terrorism.’

Once completely sealed, there is only one entrance, which is controlled by the Dungeon Management Bureau as the only way out.

No matter how much Aaron Nortonhale resurrected the undead army, there was no way that the undead coming out of such a narrow tunnel could not be dealt with at Paradise School.

If it is, you can blow up the tunnel and block the entrance.

‘Then did you commit terrorism against the students?’

However, the evidence was also insufficient.

Golden Dungeon is by no means a popular dungeon among students.

As a player, even if it was easy to earn money, the inhabitants of this world often hated the bug-type monsters that appeared in the mines.

Rather, if the purpose was terrorism, it would be better to covert Hisperief even if it was too much.

‘In the beginning, a much more dangerous dungeon was hidden under the Hisperiif.’

As it is the original legacy of the Demon King, there is no reason not to utilize that dungeon from the Liberation Front’s point of view.

Just making Arachne’s nest in the golden dungeon.

It was too inefficient.

‘The Liberation Front depicted in the game was wicked if it was wicked, not the scoundrels. It must have had a different purpose… … .’

Then suddenly.

I remember the conversation we had when we first met them.

The way you speak outrightly trying to recruit me.

Rather than being angry at the fact that Arachne had been killed, he had an attitude of surprise.

“Huh? This situation… I’ve heard of this development somewhere.”

Memories that had sank in the ocean of the unconscious springed up as the truth gradually became more and more evident.

One of them flashed through my mind.

It was a video I saw on YouTube one day.

[15 hidden stories of Paradise Academia]

It was a video that picked up information and events that players did not see before in the main story of Paradise Academia.

Among them was the second act scenario Bernax.

Let’s recall the existence of the forgotten image. A calm narration voice came out in my head right in front of my eyes.

[The reason for Bernax’s fall was none other than when he faced the infiltrator of the Liberation Front who infiltrated Paradise School… … .]

[Then, right after the fall of Bernax, where and what did they do? You can see that by looking around the ‘Golden Mine’.]

[When you enter the dungeon, strangely dug traces in the corner of the reward room… … .]

When I got up there, I grabbed my head with both hands.

finally.

Even this was the butterfly effect.
