chapter 6
Dungeon(1)
“I want you to look at the sword. What does that mean?”
While managing his facial expression as much as possible, he bowed down.
According to the setting, Agnes’s Bavarian family is a self-writer.
It is a title that cannot even be compared with the Duke of Philasia.
At least it’s the Iliad Academy, so I can talk to him.
If it was normal, how long would it take to deliver that one word?
Once the minimum month unit was predictable.
Well, it’s more likely that I won’t say it.
Agnes hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“I heard a rumor a while ago that the eldest son of the Duke of Philasia uses a sword. You defeated the Academy Instructor with a sword without a sword, so I thought it would be better if I used a sword… I’m sorry if I’m mistaken.”
“There is no misunderstanding. It is right to use a sword.”
I’m just here to ask about the sword.
I let go of the power I was giving my body. If I ever applied for a match like I did to the main character of the original, I was thinking of rejecting it right away.
Dalian with this body, because luxury doesn’t have that kind of luxury.
“Then can you teach me a lesson? As an example, I can do anything you want.”
“… .”
Does he know what his words mean now?
Looking into those eyes, I thought I didn’t know at all.
“What you just said. Did you spit it out with a determination to take responsibility?”
To say that you can do anything is to say that you don’t know your own worth.
“Yes, anything I can do.”
You must be a really desperate person.
Agnes is the first.
without knowing their worth.
Second.
At the same time, he was desperate enough to risk everything.
‘Hagisa, Agnes was such a guy.’
That ice-cold personality, and the bluntness of a solid knight.
it’s all congenital.
Bavarian Viscount.
A fallen noble family that no longer exists.
Perhaps Agnes and her younger brother now bear the surname of Bavaria.
there will be only two
Because all the rest are dead.
by demons.
“Well… .”
… I was seriously worried.
There is nothing wrong with teaching swords. There is no such thing as a genius for nothing.
In addition, although indirectly, I have seen the way Agnes of the future operates the sword in print.
If you tell me a little bit, at this point she might be able to beat the main character and take first place.
Besides, Agnes was the most appropriate colleague for Kiyeon to visit.
‘Lennock’s Cave.’
He was an archmage and a swordsman at the same time.
A genius among the geniuses who ruled an era.
Magic Swordsman, Lennock.
After his death, many magic swordsmen were born, and it is evaluated that no magic swordsman surpasses Lennock until now.
That’s why magic swordsmanship has become a profession in which even those who are notoriously talented, even those who are considered to be quite talented, cannot easily attack.
Lennock.
You must have talent comparable to that of the first magic swordsman.
Such a secret hidden by Lennock existed near the Iliad Academy.
‘The relics and spirits that Lenoch used while he was alive.’
Among them, the one I will take care of is the Youngdan.
I can’t even carry Lennock’s relics anyway.
Probably because the user is specified as Agnes.
In the novel, others other than Agnes have tried to use Lennock’s artifacts, but none have succeeded.
This was due to the finicky nature of the relic.
If you don’t like the person you like, you won’t even be able to touch them.
Anyway, in order to prepare for the catastrophe that will come in the future, I have to raise the main actors of the academy… .
“I’ll teach you a little bit.”
I pondered for a moment and then nodded.
The corners of Agnes’s lips moved slightly. There was little change in his expression, but he seemed to like it.
She seemed to draw her sword straight away.
I know you want to grow even a little faster.
“I have no intention of teaching here.”
“yes?”
No need to take it out yet.
In the future, even if you don’t want to pull it out, you’ll keep pulling it.
“Before entering the academy, there is a dungeon that the family found. Let’s check the sword while clearing the dungeon.”
“The dungeon is… Are you still struggling? I know I have to accompany the instructor.”
She made a puzzled expression.
In the Academy, when entering the dungeon, you must accompany the instructor or have a pass.
“Okay. The dungeon will be easy anyway.”
It really is.
If I remember correctly, it is clear that Lenok’s Cave is easy to clear.
“ah… After all, he was the one who overpowered the instructor with one shot.”
“… ?”
You seem to be misunderstanding something strange.
I tried to correct the misunderstanding, but Agnes expressed his desire to go to the dungeon as soon as possible.
No, I’m going to watch from the back and come out with only the elixir?
**
Lennock’s Cave is magically hidden in the forest near the Academy.
Anyway, on the first day, there was enough time for the class to start in earnest from the next day after an 80-minute class.
I went in during the day, so I’ll be out by night.
With that in mind, I went into the forest.
Indeed, it was dense because it was a forest that had been hiding a cave for a long time.
The old forest has its own unique aura.
As you enter the forest, you will see a tree with a hole in the center.
‘It must be around here.’
I put my hand in the gap that only one finger could fit in, and let the mana flow.
It was originally discovered a little later in a story about Lennock in another dungeon.
‘There’s something good about letting it rot.’
Since I brought Agnes sword, I also brought my elixir.
It’s never because of Agnes’ sword.
I’m going to live
… Something seems to have changed, but anyway.
Mana is absorbed into the tree through your fingers.
Mana climbs the tree and descends, waking up organs that have been motionless for a long time.
“Cuckoo!”
I vomited blood.
this shit
Lifespan doesn’t wear off enough to bleed.
I don’t know why, but if you move violently or get hurt, your body will recoil.
That’s the only thing that shortens your lifespan.
So, why the hell does the hemoptysis happen?
I still haven’t found an answer to that question.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not okay.”
I continued to vomit blood.
The roots of the tree hold my blood.
Agnes hurriedly searched her arms and took out a handkerchief.
Oh, I miss Petra.
Petra would have already covered my mouth with a handkerchief.
“Cover your mouth a little with this.”
“…done. I can’t use it if it gets my blood on it.”

Just then, the door opened.
I pulled my finger out of the crevice and uncovered the cave hidden behind the veil.
Big enough to fit two or three people.
“Go in.”
“Ah yes!”
**
As I entered the cave, I felt my body moving somehow.
At the same time, the view changes slightly.
carved door.
We were standing in front of him.
I looked around.
Lennock may have cast a spell, but he didn’t feel the unique moisture of the cave.
I don’t see any side roads or back roads.
Only move forward, or give up.
Behind me, I can see the portal, not the exit of the cave.
It’s probably really moved.
Teleportation is a 5th rank, but it is a magic that can only be used at 6th rank.
The current dean, who is aiming for the Archmage, is in the 8th rank.
‘Lennock is at least 6th rank.’
Or it could be the 7th rank.
That is why most magic swordsmen do not enter the castle.
Beyond the existing wizards, there aren’t many 6th-level wizards even if you search through history.
By the way, do you want the enemy to shoot the 6th rank in parallel with the sword?
Actually, that’s an absurd thing to do.
Unless it’s really an overwhelming talent.
“It is quite spacious.”
Agnes said so and stood in front of me.
I was puzzled by the appearance of protecting something, but it was a position I had to take anyway, so I went ahead without saying anything.
A huge door blocking your way.
It was not comparable to Trina, but it was not large enough for a person to pass through.
or for a gimmick.
Are you really trying to block something of this size?
When I put my hand on the doorknob, Agnes hurriedly ran and stopped me.
“I will open it.”
“What?”
“I heard that you are not feeling well, but I don’t know if it will be this much… .”
uh, um.
Agnes’s compassionate gaze turns to me.
I’m trying to get a little annoyed.
This is one of the views I received the most as I entered this body.
I don’t know if it’s the end of the day, but when they know that my body is weak, they all put on that kind of expression.
I don’t like that gaze as it looks down on me.
I shrugged off Agnes’ hand and grabbed the doorknob.
“It’s a useless worry.”
with just opening the door.
I looked at her coldly and entered the dungeon.
Petra had to go in before she was worried.
It was enough to meet those compassionate gazes once.
Of course, I am aware that Agnes was trying to do me a favor with a pure heart.
So did Petra, and so did the rest of the duke.
However, if the favor continues, it becomes increasingly excessive.
In the end it is myself who has to stand up.
If you can stand up with the help of others.
You will not be able to get up without that help.
And, of course, others will recognize that they should also help.
humiliatingly.
Even if I vomit blood and my head throbs, it’s my body.
The body I need to think and move.
I clenched my fists and entered the dungeon.
Reminding yourself of your determination to survive once again.
