Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 8
“Chief! Principal!”
Selene cried out for her throat to burst and hurriedly opened the door to the dean’s office.
Professor Ernest, who was filling out the paperwork with his arms crossed with a floating quill, looked up in amazement.
Selenium, who values ‘culture’ so much, not anyone else, jumps in like that.
“What’s going on?”
I knew for sure something had to happen.
Dean Ernest raised the round glasses with his index finger and pulled the quill out of the air.
“ha… that is… .”
“Speak slowly.”
Unlike the dean who calmed her down and asked calmly, Selen didn’t have time to find time to relax.
If what I heard from the training center manager was true, it was because it was a serious accident.
“There seems to be an error in the B-3 area of the underground dungeon.”
“Underground dungeon?”
If it’s an underground dungeon… .
The dean frowned and spoke.
“Are you talking about the underground lab?”
“Yes. I don’t know how the drink was twisted, but I think there’s a problem. Right now, outside access is not allowed and the control is not properly done.”
Underground Dungeon Area B-3.
According to Dean Ernest’s memory, it must have been a beginner’s training ground with the lowest difficulty among the underground dungeon training grounds.
A student who enters and exits such a place, of course, is a student of the same level.
If the difficulty of the dungeon rises sharply or unexpected variables occur due to an error in the procedure, we will not be able to deal with it.
Dean Ernest’s face darkened, having sensed the seriousness of the situation at once. He hurriedly put on his robe and jumped up from his seat.
The urgent voice continued to the point where there was no time left before.
“Who is in now?”
“With Adela in second grade… .”
“… .”
“My name is Shiha Han, a student.”
Han Shi-ha student. At that word, Dean Ernest’s expression turned cold.
It was impossible for a guy who wasn’t in high school, and who wasn’t even as talented as Adela, to survive the transformation dungeon.
why at all
“… I must go quickly.”
It might already be quite late though.
* * *
“Ugh, I think I’m really going back.”
The same goes for this one that seems to be going back.
They continued to follow while wielding their wand, but it was not at a level that the two of them could solve.
Even though he is barely holding on with the help of that unknown short hair. A voice overshadowed by evil resounded right next to him.
“If you get out of here alive, you won’t even look at the slime salad in the future.”
“… Have you been eating like that?”
I’ve only heard that you’re a second-year student of the Earth attribute. Actually, other than that, I didn’t know anything about that short hair.
The timing was just a rookie, and the skill of asking slimes was no joke.
In an instant, a person’s name flashed through my mind.
Earth Wizard, Adela.
hey, maybe
no way.
“It can’t be.”
it doesn’t make sense
There was no reason that the great wizard couldn’t be bothered by not taming a Hellhound.
Moreover, from my memory, Adela did not choose taming in her sophomore year exams.
It’s not even a major in the first place, so there’s no way you’re rolling in a beginner’s lab like this.
The king of that bloody land, Adela.
In addition, wizards who borrowed the power of the earth were quite common in Ardel Academy.
“My skills were better than I expected.”
It’s that level of skill.
No matter how ordinary a second-year student may be, in my eyes, who do not even know how to use magical powers, they will appear to be of a high standard.
This Ardel Academy is where only monsters gather, so there was no surprise.
So, it is unreasonable to judge that ordinary-looking girl as Adela, just because she uses the method of asking questions.
And he… .
Contrary to the description, it looks good.
somehow yes
There is a little bit of tik tok, and the words are rough.
Just not avoiding Han Si-ha, who is widely rumored to be trash, meant that her personality was first-class.
“Are you thirsty? There is no water to drink.”
“Probably.”
The girl shook her head with a sullen face.
I spoke in a calm voice.
“I don’t see anything to eat. Come on, I see something worth eating.”
“Is it edible?”
“You and me.”
“… The sound of falling rice.”
“Are we the only ones to eat?”
At my words, my short hair spit softly and rolled my feet.
There are already over thirty slimes that have been processed here. In the meantime, I waited for the unstable dungeon to be restored somehow, but no news came.
Do you really have to wait without an appointment like this?
If you count from the time you entered the dungeon, it must have been over three hours.
I wondered if this school wasn’t interested in students at this point… .
The short hair corrected my thoughts in an indifferent voice.
“It must have been 30 minutes.”
“30 minutes?”
“Time is enchanted. Get enough training.”
Time outside and inside the dungeon seem to flow differently.
That’s great care.
Thanks to that, it dried up and died with the slime inside.
“When are you coming to the rescue? You don’t even know you’re trapped?”
“You may not know yet. What’s certain is… I’m going to have to wait a few more hours here.”
Basil barely secured his sight with the breath he exhaled, but as he was fighting slimes in a swamp where he couldn’t see properly, he slowly reached his limit.
A monster with a level of difficulty that is difficult to solve unless you are a 3rd-class wizard in the first place.
Besides, it’s even more terrifying to come in a swarm.
Whenever I see a luminous slime that cools my eyes, my arms tremble.
bump
On the other side, the plump, luminous slime burned down the lawn.
Even though it was damp because of the swampy area, the sight of the grass that had grown quite green in an instant burnt to black was by no means pleasant to the naked eye.
You can tell just by looking at it.
Unlike the slimes that I popped for practice earlier, those are poisonous slimes.
Even just passing by, the ticket to the underworld must have been reserved.
If you think so… .
“It would be realistically difficult to keep catching.”
This was the conclusion I came to after panting for a while.
“What?”
The short hair frowned while burying a slime that bounced off the ground while dripping the purple liquid.
He gathered all his magical power and barely held it, but he was responding to why he was making noises like that.
Of course, the kind words will never come back.
“Then why don’t you just sit here and wait for me to die?”
No way.
“Hey, give me some time.”
“… uh? What are you going to do?”
Ignoring the short hair that looked back at me with a puzzled look, I hurriedly turned around and ran.
When she’s trying hard to lure the slime, the last thing I can do is try.
“Whoa.”
How to deal with the transformed dungeon is also available in Sulkademie.
An episode in which Lee Han and Han Si-ha were punished by clearly showing the difference in their abilities.
In that scene, Han Si-ha tried to roll it up and ate it up.
They installed barricades to secure time, and installed bombs to set off slimes.
Why are you filming the rules of the jungle in Hunter water alone, no matter how bad you are, there is no way you can be that stupid.
I’ve heard all the swear words from the readers.
Well, I didn’t think it was such a stupid way to do it.
If you look closely, even though this bastard brought my name on his own, he wasn’t an idiot at all.
The way was perfect. I just missed two things there.
flame. and the amplification of magic power.
“Basil, help me.”
“Wow!”
* * *
What are you doing now?
Adela gasped and faced the slime, but looked back at Han Si-ha with unkind eyes.
He brought some tree vines and fixed them to the floor.
“I think there were monsters that looked like that.”
You eat people with your mouth open.
Paris hell or what? So, this was hell.
Adela bit her lower lip nervously.
“You’re going to catch slimes with that, what?”
This is not a fishing spot. If you want to install a trap, you have to go to the sea.
He seemed quite competent when taming, but was that Han Si-ha’s limit?
Adela let out a short sigh and hit the running slime.
Naturally, the magic power was almost exhausted. Her black was already smeared with purple stains.
When it becomes difficult to even lift a finger, wouldn’t it be better to throw yourself into that vine and die trapped in it?
At least than being eaten by slimes approaching with poison-filled saliva. I hope you can hold out until the professors come.
It was a time when I was even smashing two birds with my heavy legs thinking like that.
“uh?”
rumble.
Adela paused in front of the long vines.
The vines called vines were all pulled, and the vines were already surrounded by the two of them.
“under.”
At that moment, Adela noticed Han Si-ha’s stupid thoughts.
Were you thinking of building a barricade with those vines? So you’re going to catch those slimes?
I can earn a little bit of time, but… .
“It would be of no use. I’m going to burn it all down anyway.”
I don’t know if it was a slime for practice. Against the slimes that burn the lawn black, there’s nothing like tree vines.
By the way.
Adela was even more embarrassed by Han Si-ha’s subsequent actions.
“… Arrow.”
“you… What are you going to do now?”
“Well.”
Instead of answering for a moment, he drew his magic bow out of the air.
The most effective attack magic that can still be created with clumsy magic control. In fact, there is no such thing as one of these.
“Basil.”
But, if fire is added here.
bump
The mana begins to burn at a rapid rate.
As if fueled by magical powers, Adela had no choice but to stop in the flames that burned rapidly.
“What is this… .”
I never thought I would be able to light a fire with magic.
No, at least not in the common sense she knew.
However, right in front of you now.
Hansiha was showing off a new fighting method.
A fiery arrow that burns so vigorously that it is difficult to hold it with your hands any longer.
Han Shiha laughed and took a deep breath.
From the beginning, one magic power was innate.
I just didn’t know how to write it.
By the way.
In this case, you can just ignorantly hit the mana.
just now.
If you amplify it terribly, a flame bomb will explode in any direction. So round barricades were installed.
When he gathered up the magical energy in his body without leaving a single drop.
“… !”
A fire arrow that looks like it will explode like a bomb at any moment by magical power.
As soon as the perfectly aimed hand was released, a huge sphere of fire was thrown out in all directions.
“uh?”
I thought it wouldn’t
Because I didn’t even think that I would add actual fire to the basic magic of Arrow, not casting Fire Arrow from the beginning.
By the way.
bang bang. phut.
Adela’s eyes widened at the sound of the slap in the ear.
Like fireworks, slimes explode in the air.
pop.
pop.
An attack that utilizes the characteristics of slimes that are inherently weak against fire.
Looking up at the end of the fading slimes with a sphere of flame, Adela blinked her eyes.
No, in this situation, should I be immersed in emotion?
It might have been if it had been a prettier color.
“… .”
poop.
Adela, who had been looking up at the air while avoiding the gloomy purple rain, came to her senses only when the toxic rain that was like a shower had ended.
“crazy.”
What did I see?
