There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 69

23. Reconstruction of the case (3)

“To get to the point… you, you made a contract with the spirits.”

“ah…….”

I let out a sigh, anticipating the backstory for some reason.

“Fourth Star Thunder Spirit, are you really Lioner-sama?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Irkan slowly nodded at my words. He responded that he knew it would be the case.

‘Didn’t the student book tell me what the spirit I contracted with would be anonymous?’

A sense of betrayal came over me, but I soon learned that Irkan’s misunderstanding was rooted in something else.

“Actually, I saw everything yesterday. Baek San-woo, you wield the power of lightning.”

“ah…….”

I thought it didn’t look cramped.

It was after Irkan had already witnessed both of my conversations with Aaron Nortonhalle.

‘Hey, even the student club didn’t know that the spirit that I signed with was a Lion.’

When I think about it more closely, it was.

This was purely based on Irkan’s personal thoughts.

“Baeksanwoo. The lightning strike you used is a skill passed down through the oral tradition of Arthur. It is a swordsmanship that only my great-grandfather, Arthur Bradamante-sama used!”

As I looked at the dean speaking in an increasingly exasperated voice, I regretted my indecisive actions.

Even if I didn’t know if it was passed down orally from Arthur’s family.

He actually used the Sky Slash, and it was also true that Irkan witnessed it.

Even that was not enough, he even confronted Aaron Nortonhale, the fallen land nymph, who had been killed by Arthur.

As Arthur’s descendant, Irkan, I couldn’t have come to a conclusion other than that I was the Lioner’s contractor.

I couldn’t help but scratch the back of my head rudely.

‘Oh, I don’t know! just cool it down You can’t hide it forever, can you?’

Without the need to clutter your head.

I decided to bring the Lioner myself.

And I was thinking of asking for a separate investigation regarding the Liberation Front that happened yesterday.

‘Then please take care of me, Lioner.’

* * *

“Dean, may I bring the Lioner?”

“Lioner!? You mean you can see him in person?”

“A level of spirit manifestation is possible. It’s probably not what you’d expect.”

“If it’s possible, I’d like to ask…!”

At those words, the dean was excited like a child.

Face-to-face with mythical beings!

Soon, as Baeksanwoo made a gesture like snapping his fingers, a flash of light flashed and rose.

When I opened my eyes that had been closed for a moment, a honey badger appeared in front of me.

Irkan felt the energy of the 4 star spirits from that magical being.

Without a single doubt, he was the Lion of Noewoong.

【Nice to meet you, descendants of close friends with whom you shared your soul.】

A heavy voice resounding loudly.

Irkan dared not control his emotions due to the rush of emotions.

‘It really is. This made it even more certain. Baeksanwoo is Arthur’s incarnation!’

“Lioner, I never dreamed that I would actually see you in my college.”

【me too. When I wake up from a long sleep, it seems that a long time has passed.]

Irkan greeted the Lioner with the greatest courtesy he could.

Although the student was watching in front of his eyes, he did not hesitate to let go of his authority.

【It feels so different for me to face the descendants of former comrades on this occasion.】

The Thunder Spirit sniffed his nose and approached Irkan.

【Are you Arthur’s grandson?】

“Great-grandchildren.”

【My best friend… … What happened?]

“He passed away in peace. He was enshrined in the tomb managed by our family from generation to generation.”

【is it. I wanted to see you again before we disappeared. In the end, I couldn’t keep my promise.]

Irkan Bradamante felt his emotions assimilated by the bitterly muttering Lioner.

I almost burst into tears for a moment.

He persevered, then nodded slowly.

“You must be rejoicing in heaven.”

【Because that friend was always positive.】

After that, Irkan and Lioner had a brief conversation. The dean wanted this time to stop like this.

By welcoming the hero whom he admired as a child, his dried up childhood was revived.

Irkan was now able to resolve the doubts he had heard when he was first reported to the spirit.

‘It seems that the person who was deliberately omitted from the Student Council was Baek Sanwoo.’

“Student Baek San-woo, why do you keep trying to hide it? Without revealing the fact that you are the Lioner’s worthy contractor?”

When he asked, Baek Sanwoo responded with a very uncomfortable look.

“I don’t like to bounce.”

As Irkhan, who regards honor as the greatest reward and glory, it was an answer that could not be understood.

“If that happens, I might be able to get a lot of support from the school level. Honestly, how much more do you think you can hide?”

“If you get caught, you’ve got it, I don’t want to announce it with my own hands. Dean. I’m serious.”

Baek San-woo’s eyes lit up.

Irkan realized that no matter how much he tried to persuade, it would be futile.

‘You look like Seonjo-nim in that you’re gentle yet stubborn.’

But it wasn’t that bad. Irkan smiled softly and raised both hands slightly.

“Okay. Let’s keep this matter completely silent.”

“And there is something I want to say only to the dean for a similar reason.”

“Tell me.”

“Do you know what this is?”

What Baek Sanwoo took out of his arms was a pendant with an unusual shape.

It didn’t even vibrate at all, but the pendant moved as if it were alive.

Spreading magic and ominousness.

“Hey, where did this come from…!”

“I haven’t told the police department yet, but it’s a mark that the candidate for the liberation front corps commander had. The spider queen who appeared in the gold mine had it.”

“How did you know that this was a token? No, rather than that you caught the corps commander?”

“It was pure luck. That’s not the point. The Liberation Front gangs who captured Arachne were finally able to resurrect Aaron Nortonhalle. That’s a major event.”

“Ugh…!!”

Irkan groaned lowly. Even Aaron Nortonhale is a huge risk factor.

If the spider queen who appeared in the mine at the time was none other than a corps commander-level beast.

It was a matter that could not be easily overlooked.

“You should submit this to the Central Governing Council. But you cannot hide your existence even from the Council.”

“I don’t want to go there either. It has to be disclosed only to faculty and students. Rumors tend to spread all over the place.”

“I understand what you mean. I will take the place of the dean on this matter and make a more thorough investigation.”

Irkhan was handed a token from Baeksan-woo. Meeting Lioner was excited for a while, but he had a complicated mind in many ways.

“You didn’t tell the police department?”

Baek San-woo nodded his head instead of answering.

“Good job. I honestly can’t believe it. I don’t know how much insider stuff is going around the gossip of the guards. It’s really disgusting…”

“It wouldn’t be a problem, would it?”

“What’s the problem? Even if I raise it, I won’t be able to say much as long as I’m there.”

Irkan said that if a magistrate or a heretic judge caught up with him, he told him that he had entrusted it to him and asked him to leave.

It was a group that had nothing to do with being a student for nothing.

Even the department in charge of security could not be higher than the authority of the dean, as long as this Nakwon Island was an educational institution.

“Then… you can go back soon. I’m sorry I interrupted your studies.”

“no.”

At Irkan’s words, Baeksanwoo got up from his seat.

“Hello Lioner-sama.”

【Yes, you are also healthy.】

After saying goodbye politely, the Lioner disappeared with another flash of light.

It will return to the realm of spirits.

‘… … Truly a magnificent man.’

Irkan thought as he looked at the place where Lioner had been a while ago.

“Anyway, the suggestion I mentioned earlier. That still holds true. Think about it and tell me later.”

“Let’s consider it positively.”

It was a pretty satisfactory answer.

It’s going to be a personal schedule anyway, so you don’t have to worry about being known to the school.

It was clear that the burden on Baek San-woo would be much less.

“Then let’s go in!”

“Goodbye.”

Irkan waved his hand lightly, and stared at the door timidly until the student disappeared.

His eyes were that of an educator and at the same time stained with envy.

* * *

“Today, as we did last time, we will learn about the basic spear technique. The spear technique currently taught in the undergraduate school as a standard is based on the British sect…”

I couldn’t attend Professor Bled’s class due to the long conversation with Irkan, but from the next class onwards I was able to participate normally.

‘I’m happy though.’

In fact, more than the basic swordsmanship that Bled is currently in charge of, the classes of other professors—especially the spearmanship—was the most important.

Aradwa’s javelin was definitely a powerful attack, but he couldn’t continue to use a legendary-grade weapon for javelin use.

It was natural to learn general spear techniques to prepare for unexpected situations.

As I said, it was because he was able to use Aradwa sufficiently even in situations where damage was reduced due to his strong brute force.

“Then, for this training demonstration, Victor and… Sanwoo Baek will come out and try it. So that both of them can come forward and grab the spear.”

“yep!”

At the professor’s call, I boldly stepped forward. He held a long javelin in my hand.

“The basic gripping method is as follows. Hold the middle of the spear with the essence and point the center of gravity forward. That’s right, and if you push it in that state, you’ll be in the basic stabbing posture-“

* * *

As I listened to the class very diligently, time flew by.

I participated a little hard today, and my uniform was completely soaked in sweat.

It felt like there was some musty smell.

‘Oh, I need to go home and wash up soon.’

There were more uniforms anyway, so I left it to the repair shop and it was over.

I fluttered my lapels to get rid of the still scorching heat, and rushed to the dormitory.

The moment I entered the dormitory lobby.

“What are you guys doing here?”

I was able to face familiar faces who were sitting crawling in the lobby.

Camilla, Tae-Hoon Kim, So-Young Yoon, and Iliana Noel.

Even if the three of them are in the same club, what kind of combination is Illyana?

For a while, I was stunned by the composition I saw for the first time in the world.

Camilla scratched her cheek as if in trouble.

“I was still waiting. I don’t think this is a matter that I can make hasty decisions.”

“What is it?”

“Read this.”

What Camilla gave her was a piece of paper.

After checking the ‘Application for Club Addition’ written at the top, I put my tongue out.

Flex club is a free club where you can join at any time, so there is no problem with additional members coming in.

But the applicants were a bit unusual.

Five Artel, including Iliana Noel and Marily Hart.

‘As far as I know, Artel knows that there is a club that only Artels can join.’

That was the reason why Iliana was automatically excluded when the club was first established.

Because she also joined a certain club as a half-artel.

“…Uh, Illyana. Can you explain to me how this happened?”

“Ishtar gave permission. Artel’s dispatch. Since you saved my life, I’m obligated to serve according to the oath.”

Duty to serve?

What is it Tlqkf.

I was equally bewildered. This time I saved my life, but… … I don’t remember taking a separate oath.

“In the Golden Mine, the Artels that Sanwoo helped. They’ll serve by your side.”

It was originally difficult to understand, but the complexity is doubled as the content is added to the point of not knowing the English at all.

“No, I mean, what exactly is service?”

But Illyana didn’t seem willing to give a proper answer.

Instead of answering, she suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled it tight against my body.

“Sanwoo is in charge.”

uttered harsh words.
