I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Episode 43

[CURRENT EPISODE]

V. Daedong Festival

– 1. Treasure Hunt

: The summer festival, the Great Winter Festival, has begun.

Allotted time is four hours. Optimize your starting point and route to find more treasures!

Here are some locations you can visit… …

The reason why I thought it was a small event is because I already know where all the important treasures are hidden.

Anyway, ＜Academy Summer Turge＞ is a game. No matter how difficult the difficulty is, know-how accumulates as you play the game several times. strategy arises. clearing becomes easier.

In that respect, the fifth episode, ‘Treasure Hunt’, was an episode that gave a definite advantage to multi-play.

Without any variable, it can be solved only with information.

“I have so many precious treasures this year that I didn’t hide them myself.”

“You’ll find something with a three-digit number instead.”

“All doors are locked. If the door is closed, it means there is nothing in it.”

“The list of each seat is also on the banner on Jungang-daero, so please refer to it.”

“There is also a boom!”

While the young professors continued their explanations, I first looked at the lists that were distributed one by one.

[Product Exchange List]

[999. shop +1]

[998. shop +1]

[997. shop +1]

[996. shop +2]

… …

There was a difference right from the top.

Obviously, the entire 990th was scored as 1 store, but now it is 2 points from the 996th.

Overall, the quality of the products has improved, and close to 20% were names I did not know. There were many expensive materials mainly used for magic research.

However, the biggest difference is nonetheless.

[001. Recommendation letter from the dean]

[000. Dragon Heart]

at the bottom of the list.

Originally, the name was clearly written in the last place where the dean’s recommendation should be.

There were many students who checked the list in reverse order, so the auditorium was already noisy.

“Hey, what is this?”

“Dragon Heart?”

“Isn’t it alcohol?”

“Is there a rule that if you bring in, you will be kicked out?”

There seems to be a drink called Dragon Heart.

In particular, there is no law in the Empire that prohibits drinking alcohol unless you are an adult. Instead, alcohol is strictly prohibited in Summer Turge.

Even if you are a professor. You can’t be on the product exchange list openly.

“So what?”

“Could it really be that dragon heart?”

“Meiji Kanin is there.”

“Wasn’t that a rumor?”

“no. My father was on the Confederate front before, and he really subjugated them.”

“No, no way… … .”

Commoners short of money participate enthusiastically, and there are juniors who are trying to find a letter of recommendation from Dean Yurain with a year before graduation. Other than that, it was really just a fun event.

But this is a different story. Tensions began to rise among the students.

“The starting point is determined by drawing lots.”

“You can take one and go.”

“Ouch! It’s the front door!”

“What kind of agricultural research center is this… … .”

“Phew, this is the practice room.”

After drawing lots, the students moved to their assigned places.

Outside personnel were not allowed to enter during the treasure hunt. Even though 1,500 students from all three grades are outside, there is a feeling of sluggishness.

[Tower of Freedom]

[The grand goal becomes the rising sun. Move forward without hesitation.]

The lot I drew is the Tower of Freedom.

This is not a very well-accepted position. It is an event that has been going on for more than ten years, so there is not a little known about it.

Traditionally, the closer to the main building, the better. This is because most of the notes with lower numbers were found near the main building.

This point doesn’t matter much.

‘Above the trees on the central road, under the lake in front of the main building, in the garden of the Tower of Justice… … .’

There aren’t many options available in the game. Originally, I was thinking of getting a few points at the store.

There are quite a few things that I have to miss class because of the event, so I have to make up for the penalty points… … with such a light heart.

In the first place, this episode, the treasure given as a reward is not the main thing.

Each place you visit has different characters that you can meet. In other words, when you want to build a relationship with a specific character, it is an episode where you can definitely secure it.

For example, if you want to meet Euril, who is difficult to meet normally, you must meet here. It is located on the roof of the Tower of Truth.

Baeller, who had a bad relationship with the main character, can meet and reconcile by going to the main gate. You won’t need it now.

but what? dragon heart?

I can’t stand this.

Something like cheats keeps coming out of nowhere. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it forever.

“Sir Rockstrin!”

“Hello, Hoen.”

“It looks like Kyeongdo is starting from here too.”

I met a familiar face.

It is not easy to overlap the starting point with class A, which has only 31 students among freshmen.

“Have you seen the list?”

“I saw it. It wasn’t a joke.”

“I think everyone’s eyes are burning.”

“Are you aiming for something?”

“That’s a letter of recommendation. It will be difficult unless you are extremely lucky.”

“right.”

I know how to get letters of recommendation.

I’m sorry Hoenn, but I thought I’d tell Frid later. Hohen also sponsors a lot in the Berry family.

Originally, there was an event where Frid took away what the main character found out, but now it’s much easier to just tell Frid from the beginning.

“Start.”

Rush!

The students gathered on the first floor of the Tower of Freedom rushed out like the ebb tide as soon as the professor’s words ran out. Hoenn seemed to be secretly considering my actions.

“Where are you going, sir?”

“found.”

“Yes?”

I took out a carefully folded note from the mouth of the statue in the empty lobby.

When I opened it, it was number 997. Shop +1.

“I don’t really want to gain anything. I want to look around a bit.”

“ah… … I’ll have to go around, then.”

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Rockstrin has enough money, and even if he gets a valuable material, it takes time to use it.

The only things that have meaning to me are the shops of the 900th and the dragon heart of the 000th.

There was no one I didn’t really get along with, so I just had to meet Frid and Euril. I foresaw that Frid, who had left the auditorium, headed east.

‘Dragon Heart is a problem.’

where did you hide it

What I can vaguely guess is that it is not something you can find by ordinary luck like other things.

That is the recommendation letter number 001 right now.

“Freed.”

“Ah, Lord Rockstryn.”

Even though less than ten minutes had passed, Frid was already sweating profusely. It seems to be running around quite busy.

“Haven’t you drained all the gin already? Four hours, it must be longer than I thought.”

“I am confident in my stamina.”

Saying so, Frid was digging up the soil in the flowerbed near the canteen, which wasn’t a good idea considering the environment in Somerset, where many were aristocrats.

After all, he’s a guy who doesn’t have a lot of eyes. I didn’t say that it doesn’t come out when you dig it… … .

“I found it!”

Suddenly, Frid raised his arm.

“No. 250… … That’s a pretty high number!”

“Oh, congratulations.”

come out?

but this is a bit nasty There are a lot of nobles, and moreover, young ladies can’t dig up a pile of dirt without being cultured.

“Hey, it’s a flower bed!”

“Dig the flower beds!”

“Where is the largest flower bed?”

“Damn it, it’s next to the main building!”

The students who watched the scene from the side were rather upset.

As the items on the list were items, the pretty flower bed in Summer Turf ended up being a mess. The earth attribute guys were the most excited and ran amok. Young-ae and nothing.

The garden in front of the main building is Kanin’s favorite place, but he must have foreseen this situation… … .

“Hmm. Freed. Are you looking for a letter of recommendation?”

“That’s not just me, isn’t it like that for everyone?”

“I know where it is.”

“Yes?”

I tugged at Fred’s ear.

“Go to the dean’s office and ask for a letter of recommendation.”

No. 001.

A letter of recommendation from Ulain Meiji Bruntelli, the dean of Summerturges, is, of course, carried by Uraine himself.

“… … yes? what is that?”

“Isn’t that obvious? The dean has the letter of recommendation, who has it?”

“Isn’t that a treasure hunt?”

“It’s a treasure hunt.”

Anyone who is lucky enough to find a treasure can get it.

But professors don’t favor such a simple process. Even if it was an event to announce the start of the festival, it was an expression of a sense of duty to teach students a lesson.

precious things easily,

You can’t get it by luck alone.

“Wasn’t letters of recommendation only given to student representatives?”

“Most of the student representatives are recognized just for being a representative, so they’re not very eager.”

“It is.”

“How will the dean’s face be saved if someone who has no clue whatsoever finds number 001 and uses it to write a letter of recommendation? How lucky is this student? I can’t write anything like this.”

So number 001 is in the dean’s office.

It’s like writing a letter of recommendation to a talented person who has at least that much confidence and determination, so you won’t lose face.

“I heard it and it certainly is.”

“If you know, go before someone snatches you away.”

“Still, is it okay if you let me know about this precious thing…? … .”

Fred hesitated.

Although he entered Summer Turge with Coltman’s sponsorship, Aindar Locke’s finances are not sufficient, so Freed’s foundation is still unstable.

Now that several professors have their eyes on him, even a commoner, Fridra, can build a solid support base if he gets a letter of recommendation.

“Well, it would be nice if you, whose father is sponsoring, get a letter of recommendation. Because it turns out that my father was right.”

“ah… … !”

I don’t think you’ll understand that it’s pure favor, so I made a suitable reason.

Frid bowed his head and rushed toward the main building. Resolve an event. It can’t be this easy.

Then the trouble continues.

‘Canin himself?’

I had no choice but to shake my head.

Kanin doesn’t like authoritative Wirain very much. It is clear that he did not want to resemble his method even closely.

I try to figure it out in my own way, but the dragon heart’s whereabouts are still in the labyrinth.

[Tower of Truth]

[Wisdom goes to the sky. Let everything you think be as clear and clear as the clear sky.]

I walked leisurely through the busy students and arrived at the Tower of Truth.

There is still more than three hours left, so I will continue to think about it after meeting Euril.

“what.”

Tick. Tick.

I’m standing in front of the elevator door, but the door won’t open even if I push the button. The lights are off.

‘All doors are fixed. If the door is closed, it means there is nothing inside.’

Fuck.

Isn’t this too much?

“Yudori, no… … .”

I thought I wouldn’t have to sweat.

Like the Tower of Truth, the floor height is incredibly high, so it takes quite a bit of effort to climb one floor.

“Ugh… … .”

I took the stairs and climbed 15 floors. It’s crazy that his stamina is level 4.

It wasn’t just that Frid was covered in sweat. By the end of June, the weather is getting hotter and closer to summer. Hopefully there won’t be

“what.”

As I reached the roof, exhaling a rough breath, the expected voice came out.

“long time no see! Heck, keck!”

I’m dying.

The most terrifying was the last 15th floor.

It would have been natural since it was the room where Ai-nim stayed, but even after climbing the stairs, the 15th floor did not end. Even if the day wasn’t bright, it would have been a scene from a horror novel.

“Why is it always weird?”

Still pretty silver hair greeted me.

The rooftop of the Tower of Truth is a place that is not considered for students to visit. There is such a thing as a water supply facility.

“The elevator is closed.”

“Did you walk up? So far?”

“Wait, take off your gloves. I’m dying of heat.”

“… … Stay still.”

Even as she said that, Euril took off her gloves and gently fanned her from a distance.

A little wind was blown up there with magic, and a cold wind poured.

Phew, I think I’ll buy some with the air conditioner on.

“Why did you lie?”

“What lies?”

“Your wish didn’t come true.”

Euril took a stone from her pocket.

It was a fragment of the dimension I gave you earlier. I must have picked up what I threw on the floor. Are you carrying it?

“It only grants you a very small wish.”

“Didn’t you fall while climbing up?”

“On the stairs? no?”

“Look, you didn’t listen to that either.”

“… … haha.”

Gee, he must have wished me to fall down the stairs.

there’s no way that could be done Is it the same wish that the world would end?

“I’ve been looking for treasure. What are you doing here?”

“I got kicked out.”

“To the supervisor?”

“yes.”

Auril must avoid contact with others.

I would have tried to stay in the room, but there was a justification that everyone would participate without exception, so no one was allowed to stay in the dormitory room.

“It’s forced.”

“There were a few people who came up.”

“Did you send them all back?”

“Send it back.”

There are also quite a few treasures hidden in the gardens on the 10th floor of each tower. Even if it’s not me, it’s worth going up to the rooftop at least once.

But there is nothing on the roof. I’m here to see Euril.

“It went back on its own.”

“Looks like there was no treasure.”

“treasure? this?”

At that time, Euril opened a small note and heard it.

‘what.’

There was a treasure here?

The fact that it was not originally meant that it was a treasure newly inserted by Kanin.

The part I caught was subtle and I couldn’t see it well, but there are definitely two 0’s in front.

‘no way?’

As I couldn’t take my eyes off the note, Euril asked with an expressionless face.

“Shall I give it?”
