Episode 68

23. Reconstruction of the case (2)

It was a complicated mind.

Even when I woke up in the morning, I wasn’t feeling very well. Maybe he didn’t know that the too much aftereffects in the dungeon were coming too late.

‘Damn, I didn’t expect this to be an extension of the second act being canceled.’

The only variable was that Nordin and Camilla’s epic quest was triggered first.

But that variable rolled a snowball to get to this point.

Even if I was lucky this time, I couldn’t even guess what kind of trigger the event in the gold mine would be.

perhaps.

Later, I had a feeling that the main scenario of Nakwon Island might go in a completely different direction.

“I can’t do that…”

The greatest strength I have in living in this world is the ability to know in advance what will happen in the future.

Even with that information, he was limited to responding.

If the whole story is twisted, then my intelligence will be nothing more than a piece of tissue paper.

It is like turning on a red light for my safety and my future daily life.

“For now, we will block all variables. Let’s not be hasty in intervening in elements that are likely to be related to love affairs.”

Of course, the problem was that the people around me got involved at will… … .

I couldn’t let it go again, so it was a pain in the butt.

“Oh, my head hurts.”

I’ve been thinking too much since yesterday, and I’ve been getting a headache.

Still, I had to go to school, so I started going to school recklessly.

Since Professor Bled’s class had been scheduled since morning, I didn’t know what kind of bad orders would come if I was late.

The yangban is a person who will dismiss what happened yesterday as just a happening.

– This is the intermediate class you have chosen. Endure it with evil and strength!!

Bled’s voice plays automatically in his head. I sighed and entered the classroom.

‘X foot… … .’

There is still some time left before class starts.

In the meantime, I’d like to close my eyes for a while.

With that in mind, I put my face on the desk, and I could feel the popularity of the seat next to me exquisitely.

“Sanwoo, are you sleeping?”

It was George Madeleine.

“Uh, just to close my eyes for a second.”

I answered in a dying voice.

“Yeah, you must have been tired. Would you rather take a sick leave and rest?”

“Professor Bled wouldn’t allow it.”

“That’s right…”

“So, wake me up when the professor comes later.”

I stretched out to adjust my posture.

A feeling of exhaustion that has not yet been completely resolved comes over. My mind was slowly fading away.

“Ahhh~.”

After a cool yawn, I surrendered myself to sleep.

My vision gradually darkens, and the noisy motives are cut off… … .

“Hey, Baeksanwoo! Wake up!”

Just as I was about to fall asleep, someone violently shook my body.

Sleep like a ghost.

I looked at the podium to see if Professor Haeng Yeo-na had come, but there was no one there.

He blinked his eyes at the irritable situation and threatened George.

“Ace, do you want to go back? Wake me up when the professor comes?”

Then the guy shakes his hand and shakes his head.

“Not me!”

In such an honest response, I turned my head in the opposite direction. Then, short hair came into view.

The class leader, Subaru Natsumi.

“…why did you wake me up?”

As she said with a wrinkled face, she said, pointing her finger somewhere.

“The professor called.”

There, Professor Bled, wearing sunglasses, stood with his arms crossed.

“Baek San-woo, the dean is looking for you. Don’t mind the class and go.”

dean?

‘It must be because of yesterday’s work 100%.’

Of course, although a statement was written to the police department for a series of incidents, it is separate from the faculty department.

Perhaps he, as a person who appeared at the scene, would also like to hear the details.

“All right.”

I got up from my seat, brushing my frizzy hair.

“Come on, the rest of the students are going to the small training ground right now. Implement!”

“practice!!”

As always, with Bled’s resounding command, the classmates moved in unison.

“Go.”

I responded by waving a light hand to George as he greeted me and headed to the dean’s office.

Since the last Nordin attempted murder case, it seems that he visits the dean’s office quite often.

On the contrary, it feels much more like the main story I played as Aidan.

What… … .

At first, the triad could not be held without the support of the dean.

Everything else, it’s just that I got caught up in the incident at will.

‘I can’t help it.’

I still rubbed my eyes, and knocked on the door of the dean’s office.

smart.

As the door opened, a secretary with a familiar face greeted us.

Neither he nor I have much excitement anymore.

After giving a light greeting to the secretary, I entered Irkan’s private office.

“Sit down.”

Irkan said, rewriting the monocle that she wore lightly.

He was always full of the spirit of a warrior, but when he sees him concentrating on his work, the dignity unique to aristocrats flows.

In an instant, Irkan finished signing all of the paperwork and shook his hand.

“I have an agenda that needs to be dealt with suddenly. I’m sorry.”

“it’s okay.”

He smiled softly and sat down across from me.

At the same time, silence fell.

‘what? Why did it get heavy?’

Although he was dignified, it was Irkan who always responded in a comfortable manner.

But now, a feeling of indescribable coercion was weighing down on me.

The gentle smile that comes to mind makes it even more awkward.

As I was about to wiggle my fingers in an uncomfortable atmosphere, Irkan opened his tightly closed mouth.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

As soon as I heard that.

I remembered what happened yesterday.

‘Did you notice that the object I subjugated wasn’t a normal monster?’

In fact, the existence of Arachne and Aaron Nortonhalle would have been easily known if they investigated it even a little deeper.

Or maybe he got a confession from the detained Liberation Front personnel.

‘I should tell you before the misunderstanding grows.’

I answered the question in a serious voice.

Even if it was a police officer, the excuse I prepared yesterday would be nothing more than a pun in front of Irkan.

“I’m sorry, dean. I didn’t want to cause any controversy.”

“Controversy? Why is that fact controversial? It must be your honor.”

Irkan’s eyes flashed as he questioned. I swallowed a gulp and spit out the words I had always thought about since I was brought into this world.

“I don’t want to be in the spotlight, especially for students.”

“Is there a reason?”

“Because it’s not me who should be the protagonist, but Aidan Christopher, Triston’s heir.”

Irkan looked slightly startled at my words.

It deserves it. Because now I was kicking my honor with my feet.

Following the spider corps commander, he subjugated the servants of the old demon king sleeping in the mine.

It is not an achievement that only a freshman in first year can achieve.

‘Actually, I would never have caught it without Lioner and Aradwa.’

This was not my pure skill.

It was literally ‘temple’.

So far, it has been at a level that can respond to ad hoc changes.

If the existence of the nation was exposed externally among students, I never knew that one day I would be involved in an incident that far exceeded my ability to respond.

‘It is impossible to confirm what the current status is… … . However, compared to when Camilla first tested it, it probably did not rise significantly.’

I mean, it’s kind of a bubble.

What if Aradwa cannot be used, or the Lioner’s power is limited for some reason?

At that time, I was helpless.

Didn’t an unexpected variable appear right away?

With my foamy strength, I will never be able to respond flexibly in future episodes.

“So, there is something I want to ask the dean. Please keep the fact that the monster I subjugated is the prince of the corrupted land fairy.”

I said so and bowed my head.

“I had no intention of intentionally hiding it. At first, I was going to tell the dean separately.”

“……is it.”

Dean Irkan sighed deeply at my words. He looked somewhat bitter.

“Then make a promise to me.”

“Just speak.”

“During summer vacation this year, can you come to my hometown with me?”

Yes?

A proposal that bursts into questionable words.

“Ah, no… uh, what are you doing this for?”

I was so flustered that I stopped talking. I don’t know if it’s Aidan, but why is it so simple that I even go to the dean’s hometown?

‘Aren’t you supposed to be recruiting him as a teaching assistant already?’

First of all, Paradise School is an academy. After graduating, there were some who returned to the continent.

There are quite a few students who remain on Nakwon Island with the protection of their professors to continue their research and training.

They were called class assistants.

Kind of like a graduate student concept.

If it’s not just a professor, it’s the dean’s focus mark, it can’t be sustained.

It will be a real ‘teacher’.

When I asked a question, Irkan replied as if he was talking about something natural.

“Aren’t I Arthur’s direct lineage? The Bradamante family.”

“Yes.”

“So, I have something I must give you. I’m not going to tell you because you can guess what it is.”

There wasn’t really anything that made sense, but he just nodded his head.

If only I added more family members.

‘Ah!! You’re a tutor!’ Because the same words seemed to come out.

“Well, this is a separate matter, but let’s get to the point…”

continuing discourse.

Not a single bit of tension could be missed.

click.

The Heretic Judge lit the lantern. A blazing flame lit up the dark room with a soft light.

There was no problem in living in the darkness of the dungeon under the Ministry of Security.

Turning on the lights helped psychological stability.

“Uh-huh…”

The judge took a deep breath and took off the robe that covered his entire body.

Then, white skin like snow white was revealed.

As we spend many days in the dark, our cells naturally take on a white color.

She untied her braided hair. Her white hair, as white as her skin, fell down her shoulders.

Then, without saying a word, he concentrated on the papers on the desk.

[Statement / Author: Sanwoo Baek]

The judge’s eyes, who had been reading through the contents, suddenly wrinkled.

“…something is different.”

She took out the notebook she had left beside her. It was a notebook in which he wrote down the information he had obtained while torturing the prisoners caught in the gold mine yesterday.

-The spider queen, who was mentioned as a candidate for the corps commander, transferred Arachne to the gold mine using space magic.

– Resurrect Aaron Nortonhale by sacrificing the caretaker.

-Students expelled both. Evidence of this is given to the student. → Baek Sanwoo. 1st year Arthur.

-Securing testimony that it seemed that he knew the Liberation Front.

-Items owned by Aaron Nortonhale are being stored in the Dungeon Management Department. → The primary ownership is the subjugator Baek San-woo.

Apparently, it was Baeksanwoo who finally recovered the various items obtained from the dungeon.

However, there is nothing about the corps commander’s mark in the statement he wrote.

Arachne and Aaron Nortonhale were also described as general Spider Queen and Death Prince monsters.

There was no content related to the Liberation Front.

Of course, mistaking a monster is enough.

I didn’t know because she wasn’t on the scene, but when I heard the testimonies of the people involved, they all stated that they were the spider queens.

But the prisoners said he knew the Liberation Front.

He also testified that he also had the corps commander’s mark.

Of course, one student would not have deliberately concealed his work, but… … .

As he was in charge of an important case, he had an obligation to investigate.

“I’ll have to visit you.”

High Heretic Judge, the Redeemer’s eyes lit up.
