There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 176

49. Do your duty (3)

“It happened. I had no idea.”

“I’m also Karin… … No, I didn’t expect Miss Karin to come in like that. I should have prepared ahead of time, sorry.”

“Oh, no! Sanwoo-sama, what do you need to apologize for? Karin, you should apologize quickly too.”

“Um, I’m sorry… … Sorry.”

“ah! no! It’s true that I didn’t trust you!”

Aidan, Karin, and I faced each other and kept our heads down.

After experiencing a funny happening at Toryong Cave.

I immediately called the two of them into the Illuminati’s secret hut.

The two people who took the penalty points without knowing English did not have any doubts about my appropriate excuse.

I cleared the boss room, but for some reason Karin entered the dungeon in the same way.

The core of the dungeon I was controlling with my powers sensed an abnormality and transferred the two people to the entrance.

Of course, I did not talk about how I transferred it or what my abilities were.

In fact, Aidan had a memory of breaking through the cliff and easily catching the earth dragon Visgorgon from over the wall.

Because Karin Ophilus also didn’t hide the fact that he followed me and Aidan.

“Suddenly he was sucked into the cliff, so I thought he must have been in danger.”

“Of course you can. I understand, Miss Karin.”

“What would have happened if I and Sanwoo-sama couldn’t deal with Bisgorgon? It was very dangerous.”

Aidan, who is hard on Karin, seems to be a thoroughgoing person.

Upon hearing those words, Karin’s expression suddenly darkened.

“I’m really sorry… … .”

“Come on, let’s end this story here.”

I clapped my hands to release the stiff air.

“After all, it has already happened, and both of you have been penalized.”

“It is.”

Aidan looked into Karin’s eyes and said whether he was concerned about what he said.

“Now that the situation is like this, I’m thinking of making a proposal to Karin-san as well.”

“proposal… … ?”

“Actually, the reason I brought Aidan-sama to the Toryong Cave this time was purely to understand my skills.”

What kind of magic can be used?

How much is the lasting deal?

how much mana

Besides Frost Blast, is there any advanced magic that you learned separately?

things like that

The reason I couldn’t summon Lioner and Grundel right away was that the two spirits were also conducting their own training in the spirit world.

“As a result, I learned to what level Aidan-sama’s skills have reached.”

“How much is it in Sanwoo-sama’s eyes?”

To Aidan’s question, I pondered for a while, then answered the truth.

“If I were to rate my skill as a wizard on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be around 7.”

Aidan was ‘somewhat’ strong.

Not only did he learn Ice Age, which boasts outstanding efficiency among ice property destruction magic.

Due to the dual casting, he was able to fire intermediate and low-level magic.

If Ortana was limited to the stage, it could be seen that it was a skill that could be easily rubbed against until at least the second year.

However, Aidan is Triston’s successor.

As a weapon master, he had to master all kinds of weapons and techniques.

That is, when viewed as a whole… … .

“Will it be about four? Since it was based on the time when Grundel’s power was not used, it would be higher if we included spirits.”

“That is a meaningless number. It means that I am not strong.”

Aidan sheds a bitter laugh at the cold judgment.

If I were to measure my pure skill alone, it would be less than 3, let alone 4 out of 10.

However, Aidan and I have different responsibilities.

As long as I put aside the DLC play that was close to the chaotic evil tendency, there was no reason for me to become stronger.

Why?

Do you have Aidan?

I only need to have the skills to protect myself and my colleagues in the future to come.

This is a stance that has been continued since I was first brought to this world.

Rather than cultivating skills, he monopolizes Giyeon or collects items based on his outstanding information.

Linking with trusted colleagues only covered the lack of ability.

I was able to draw Byron because I signed a contract with Lioner.

He was able to beat Thanatos because he was able to buy time and use appropriate bugs.

However, Aidan should not approach it that way.

“Aidan-sama should be a hope in the great crisis to come in the future.”

I said with a more serious expression than ever.

“And the same goes for Karin. Are you already thinking that way? It’s not just Aidan’s romantic relationship. They want to fight side by side.”

“that… … That’s right… … .”

Karin answered, avoiding my gaze. He seemed to have a little blush at the word lover.

“So, during this vacation, we have brought in people who will focus on coaching Aidan-sama and Karin-sama.”

In the end, this was the gist.

It was the part I told everyone in the Illuminati at the first meeting.

“People… … ?”

I got up from my seat and opened the door of the hut that had been closed.

“I will introduce you officially.”

Then, Lorna Aztel and Illyana, who were waiting outside, stuck their heads out.

Those who prepare for the future to come.

“We call them the Illuminati.”

three days after that.

At the same time, the special lectures of Karin and Aidan were also started by surprise at Nakwon School.

There was no such thing as a special lecture.

Aidan decided to pass on the essence of her special ‘magic’ from Senior Lorna Aztel.

Karin decided to take alchemy lessons from Illyana Noel.

Originally, Karin was also slightly interested in alchemy, so the merit of being taught directly by her as a master alchemist was very coveted.

And then there’s that ‘Half Artel’.

Since she had no contact with Artel, she could not stand the pounding emotions.

“I, there… … Illyana-senpai?”

“Illiana.”

“Yes?”

“Call Ilyana. I hate seniors.”

“Oh, then, can I call you Iliana-sama?”

“No, it’s just Illyana.”

“Ugh… … Work, Illyana?”

“Right.”

Half-Artel with black hair smiling softly. Karin was engrossed in its beauty and swallowed her breath without realizing it.

‘Ugh.’

He obviously had something to say, but he forgot.

Karin Ophilus hesitated, then uttered a word she hadn’t thought of.

“What kind of relationship do you have with Sanwoo?”

“yes… … ?”

Stop.

At those words, Iliana’s expression hardened. It took Karin a little while to figure out the situation.

in a strange silence.

Karin, who came to her senses even later, hurriedly put her hand out.

“no! I don’t mean that!! Sanwoo… … So it meant why did you join the Illuminati or something?”

after a series of events.

Aidan urged Karin, but the doubts that remained in her heart were further amplified.

Even when you apologize.

Inadvertently, “I… … Mi, you crazy! You are so suspicious!” I almost shouted.

And her suspicions peaked when Baek San-woo referred to several people, including herself, as an organization called the ‘Illuminati’.

The energy of ‘evil evil’ emitted from Baeksanwoo’s body was still there.

He and Aidan’s memories were completely blown away.

What did you do on the cliff?

Aidan and Baek Sanwoo had no memory of how they got into the Toryong Cave.

‘unknown’.

And the ‘fear’ that he and Aidan might be playing in the hands of Baek San-woo.

Karin Ophilus liked it over and over again.

The reason why Baek Sanwoo did not come out stronger was for a similar reason.

I couldn’t be sure because I don’t know exactly what happened.

What if Baek San-woo was the one who erased the memories of himself and Aidan?

This means that Baek San-woo is something that even Aidan Christopher cannot easily fight against.

Triston’s successor.

Even the hero who is praised as the first heir of the only remaining hero.

Karin was afraid of that.

It seemed really irreversible if I admitted it, and there were too many things that bothered me not to admit it.

In the meantime, can you introduce a strange secret organization called ‘Illuminati’ made up only of members of the same club?

It was too award-winning.

Aidan’s attitude of accepting it as it is was also strange.

So I pretended to be deceived and agreed.

The lineup was really cool.

Lorna Aztel is someone who is evaluated as a hidden talent among second-year undergraduates.

Senior Iliana Noel was a master alchemist, born of noble Artel’s lineage.

Of course, the other side also had a great lineup.

Although they are in the same first year, Camilla Lily and Geum Kang-moon, who have won the title of head of the art world, are two people.

Even Tarkan Byron, whose reputation is recognizable even though it is a completely different faculty.

Truly, Arthur, Arrin, and Ortana were the All-Stars.

No matter how suspicious they were, even their skills could not be denied.

“Why did you join?”

“yes! senior… … No, Illiana!”

“Because Sanwoo told me to join?”

Illyana tilted her head as if to say something.

It was a simple and clear answer.

“Is there no other reason? What is the purpose of this organization… … Well, aren’t you curious about those things?”

“yes.”

Illyana turned her head indifferently, pulled out the alchemy ingredients she had grown from her herbal pouch, and said:

“You only do that to people you don’t trust.”

“Trust the cows… … ?”

“Of course. You sound weird.”

Karin noticed that Illyana’s eyebrows were slightly curved. I felt a little offended.

She quickly stretched out Illyana’s body.

The fourth wall, a unique ability.

Not only that, Karin also had a high sensitivity to magic.

It is easy to tell whether or not the opponent is being subjected to mental-type magic.

But Iliana was fine.

No, it wasn’t good, it was good.

She was the noble Hafartel itself, and the blood of ‘Artel’, much clearer and thicker than the general Artel, was flowing.

brainwashing magic?

Maggie? That said, it was not the mind and heart that dared to invade.

It couldn’t have happened unless it was the power of such an evil spirit, comparable to that of the Demon King.

‘Strange. That’s weird… … .’

As Karin looked visibly confused, Illyana placed her hand on her shoulder.

It was a soft hand.

“Karin, you can’t just trust what you see.”

“yes… … ?”

“Sanwoo is definitely a person with a lot of secrets, and even though he doesn’t reveal it to us very well.”

Illyana’s eyes turned to the closed door of the hut.

It was the place where Baek San-woo and Aidan left a while ago.

“It’s never meant to be evil.”

She remembered a story she had once heard from someone.

If a person who is evil in nature does good deeds to achieve his will, can it be regarded as a wicked person?

Or, if a person with good nature commits evil deeds to achieve a good will, would it be considered a good man?

“Unlike us, humans are gray. So, many Artels may be unexpectedly attracted to humans.”

Illyana said as she cleared the alchemy table.

“There are good artels and there are bad artels. But no Artel has both personalities.”

“Illiana… … .”

“For me, that’s a sanwoo. That’s probably the reason why I’m so drawn to Sanwoo.”

It was sincere.

Karin confirmed the faith that came from Illyana’s words.

It wasn’t the forced or fake brainwashing created by brainwashing or mental magic.

It’s a feeling that comes from the heart of a person.

“I believe in Sanwoo. Just like you believe in Aidan. That is the responsibility given to me as a friend of Sanwoo.”

The ring on Iliana’s finger gleamed.

“so. You too do your duty.”

Karin Ophilus couldn’t answer.

Own Responsibilities?

Yes, I couldn’t live without help forever. I didn’t want to be bothered anymore.

Even in the grudge Seorin underground village, and in this Toryong Cave.

Didn’t Aidan get into trouble over and over again because of him?

“… … .”

Karin looked straight at Iliana.

Then, he said in a loud voice that he had never heard in his life.

“Take good care of me!!!!”
