There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 72

24. Dancing with Artel (3)

After an unexpected encounter with the princess.

I gathered the amount of alchemy materials I had planned, returned to the dormitory again, and opened the letter.

sizzle.

When the seal sealed with a heart pattern is torn off, a smooth letter paper is revealed.

I slowly read it down.

“What, it’s really nothing.”

The letter Ishtar handed over was very solid, unlike the dazzling envelope.

Expressing gratitude for saving the Artels in the gold mine, and planning to hold a celebration for the birth of a contractor for Nee-woong, who was not able to do so.

If that’s the case, maybe it’s not a letter, it’s just a verbal message.

It was a natural question, but I thought of Ishtar, who looked strangely erratic, and ignored it.

Maybe it was just her personality.

In fact, even when I was playing the main story, I sometimes uttered 4D-like answers.

If Illyana feels like a 4th dimension with her unique tone of voice and an annoying expression on everything.

Ishtar feels that actions and thoughts themselves are the fourth dimension.

‘It can be seen as a character of the royal family that looks a little lacking.’

The ignorance, which is completely opposite to the beauty of a heavenly existence, was also an attractive point for the players.

Even though it looks like that, Artel Said is the main heroine.

‘But it’s a celebration… … .’

I could recall the ending scene of the 4th chapter scenario of the main story.

It was because Aidan, who had saved Artel, was also invited to the manor dormitory’s Breath of the World Tree.

After the cutscene, you can freely move around the dormitory, and there, you can greatly increase the affinity of the Artels.

Artel will also be able to join the club.

Of course, I remember that it was like a very luxurious festival, except for the system and abilities.

There is a lot of delicious food, and drinks made in the Artel tradition.

It was an element that I didn’t pay much attention to in the game, but it was a very appealing proposal for the residents living in this world right now.

‘I was going to visit at least once anyway.’

I nodded and folded the letter.

The current scenario that Aidan has completed is Chapter 2, The Fall of the Magic Swordsman.

With that, the events that occurred in the first semester ended.

Until the summer vacation, when additional scenarios occur, Aidan will also focus on personal training, such as exploring dungeons or farming items with his colleagues.

In the meantime, I had to prepare for the three-chapter scenario, ‘Grudge Seorin Underground Village’, which will be held at the same time as the start of the next semester.

And what is absolutely necessary for that scenario is the ‘fruit of life’ that can be obtained from Breath of the World Tree.

If you consume it, you can avoid being affected by various bizarre phenomena that occur underground.

Originally, it was normal to have to sneak into the dormitory by contacting the ‘hermit’ of the black market.

If done well, you may be able to infiltrate without much difficulty.

Isn’t the festival itself opening for me right now? Even if caught while infiltrating, it will be taken into account to some extent.

“Can I miss this honey-like opportunity? If it’s already like this, I’ll have to put Artel as a member.”

Even if I put it on hold for now.

To be honest, if the Artels join the club first, it can’t get any better than this.

Because it automatically secures excellent ranged combatants.

Plus, each of them has a beautiful appearance.

Just as pretty women and handsome men are treated more than ordinary people when they get a job at a cafe.

If Artel is a member of a free club that anyone can join, it will be easier to attract new students next year or the following year.

‘This is one stone and three birds, that’s it~.’

The corners of his lips twitch as he slowly loosens up.

* * *

A club promotion meeting convened after a long time since the triad was held.

Today, we met at Dusik Ahjae’s grocery store, which is being used as a temporary base.

“Anyway… just like Artel’s membership, I got this kind of offer.”

I placed the invitation from Ishtar on the desk.

“Isn’t it okay for me to go alone? So, I told the princess, and she said it was okay to bring two people from our club.”

“Really!?!”

“Wow, to be able to see the Artel Festival in person!”

Soyoung and Taehoon responded that it was like a dream.

As students of the Arin Faculty, the two have always wanted to get to know Artel.

-But the pure-blooded Artels were a little reluctant to us. It feels uncomfortable to approach first… … .

However, if you attend the event as a guest, you will naturally have an opportunity to build friendships with them.

That’s why the two of them were particularly excited.

Of course, George and Camilla weren’t bad either.

Because of their extremely closed nature, you will be able to directly experience the culture of the Artels, which are treated like word of mouth.

I don’t know if the two of us can get anything.

“Wow, woah, everyone, calm down first. I think I forgot for a while, so I’m saying that, but I can’t go all the way.”

“Oh right.”

“Three people including me. Only two people can go here.”

“Then why don’t we just take Taehoon and Soyoung along?”

said Camilla, who was sitting next to me. It was the same voice as usual.

Because of the last incident, I couldn’t help but be more concerned about it.

“No! It can’t be. Everyone seems to want to go, but we can’t be the only ones that get special treatment.”

But Tae-hoon cuts it off firmly.

After all, he’s a guy who dies for justice and lives for justice, so he’s a jerk in a situation like this.

“There is a way to use it in such a case.”

“What is it?”

After a brief pause to get the members’ attention, I shouted out.

“If you don’t pay, you lose, rock, paper, scissors!!!!”

“Rock Paper Scissors!!!”

The members reflexively raised their hands. I’ve been using it a lot and I’m not surprised anymore.

The eyes that just knew it would.

As a result, Camilla and Taehoon were scissors, and George and Soyoung were furoshiki.

Two people who were defeated by a single board let out a sad sigh.

“I can’t help it. Then, will Camilla and Taehoon go?”

“All right.”

“Then you go, Soyoung-ah, because I’m fine.”

So-yeong’s attitude, which seemed to have softened slightly, suggested that Camilla was at all concerned.

“No! Camilla-sama! I’m fine.”

“Yeah, the results are already out.”

“Is that really okay?”

When Camila asked the question again, Soyoung smiled softly saying it was okay.

George, who watched the scene silently, also added a word.

“It’s enough just to have an opportunity like this~! Anyway, we’ve all been given special privileges, haven’t we?”

“That’s right. I’ll object to that, well.”

Soyoung nodded in agreement.

“After all, it means that the princess of Artel recognized it.”

And Soyoung’s words were correct.

In the beginning, Ishtar also expressed it as ‘preferential’. As much as my status is, it means that I will treat you as an exception.

These four were also early members of the club, and now that the number of associates has increased, they have secured their position as a kind of ‘club executive’.

“This kind of treatment is rare.”

George seemed to like it more than that.

Although I may complain in my heart. The interpersonal appearance that passes without a collision is not so unique.

“And apart from the festival, you two have to take good care of the Artel students coming in this time.”

In particular, I said, pinching Soyoung and Taehoon.

“As you said, it’s clear that you won’t mix well within the club.”

“I think so.”

“I think we’ll be more comfortable with Arin’s Faculty, who have approached them amicably a few times.”

Soyoung confidently answers, telling her to hold on to her worries.

I’m almost done with the story.

I clapped my hands and stood up from my seat.

“Then this lightning meeting ends here!”

“Good job~.”

“Yeah, you worked hard today. Everyone had a good dinner. Fighting tomorrow!”

We’re cheering each other up and tidying up our seats.

Just then, he grabbed my shoulder and said he remembered what George was going to say.

“Oh, right. Sanwoo, the dungeon management department told me to go find the loot. The receptionist I met last time I went to get the magic stone price, please tell me.”

Come to think of it, there were items recovered from the gold mine.

“I forgot. Thank you.”

Called out by Irkan, beaten by Camilla, and busy meeting Ishtar, I didn’t even think about it.

The follow-up of the gold mine is finally complete.

Items dropped to monsters that are not normally in the reward room cannot be used immediately, and must go through a series of identification processes.

A system in which the dungeon management department first checks for any curses or dangerous elements that may reside in the item, and then returns it to the acquirer.

I thought it was a really useless setting in the game, but when I think about it realistically, it was natural.

If you look at the BattleX that Aaron Nortonhale used, it was like that.

It was destroyed during battle, and if it had been retrieved without thinking, it might have been cursed with some kind of curse.

It’s because it’s a weapon set made by grinding the soul of a spirit.

‘How about the tiara worn by the Earth Fairy and the armor you got from Arachne.’

Given that Lioner doesn’t overreact to the two things, I don’t think there’s a terrible story woven into it as if it was Battle X… … .

It’s more comfortable to go and see something for yourself.

I tapped George on the back for the useful news and left first.

‘Tempaming Honey! Sweet.’

At the time, I felt that they were unique equipment.

If the option isn’t useful, you can just take it and sell it and you’ll make a lot of money.

I hummed and headed towards the Central Terrier.

* * *

After entering the main office of the dungeon management department, I was able to return the items I obtained from the golden dungeon after completing a simple identification process.

“You’re lucky. You’re getting these things!”

An appraiser who is in charge of appraisal of items belonging to the dungeon management department said with a smile.

“Wait.”

She took the equipment out of the display case behind the reception desk and started explaining step by step.

The first was the armor obtained from Arachne.

“It’s a unique class of light armor. Its shape is heavy armor, but it’s weight is just like light armor, so I just classified it that way.”

As the appraiser knocked on the armor, a hollow and cheerful sound was heard.

“The main materials are Elysium and Jin Eun-seok, which are only mined in the Elknath Mountains. So basically, the resistance to magic is very high.”

Elysium and Jin Eun-seok.

Both are minerals that can only be used if the smelting grade is Professional.

“The finish is neat, and the straps connecting the armor are in very good condition. Perhaps a good blacksmith has done the gas or embalming treatment separately.”

I was fascinated by the way she spoke fluently.

“And above all these runes.”

The appraiser’s eyes twinkled.

“This is a G-Head engraving that boasts the most powerful effect among runes.”

“G-Head engraving?”

“It’s an ancient tribe name that uses runes… Ah, it’s not important. When I interpreted the characters, it had the effect of causing a strong resistance to poison.”

nothing

It was an object protruding from Arachne’s stomach, which boasted of poison. I thought there would be poison resistance.

“But do you know how much resistance it has? It’s three times, three times!”

300% poison resistance?

An option that can be compared to the legendary class only with pure numbers.

My heart was pounding at the thought that I had won a huge item.

“So, as a result of synthesizing these elements! This armor was evaluated as an anti-horse armor series. The estimated value is….”

Swallowed and swallowed dry saliva.

As common unique items can be traded at 10,000 Kelly, even if it is up to that level, it is a good thing.

“I’ll be 20,000 Kelly~! That’s almost two years’ tuition!”

The appraiser congratulated him by clapping his hands, but I had no choice but to stand there blankly.

Fortunately, there was only one word that could come out of his mouth.

“crazy.”
