Academy Assassination Genius - Academy Assassination Genius chapter 98

“Oh, this is delicious.”

Let’s go on a food truck tour with Namgoong-Ik.

Shin Seong-ah appeared out of nowhere and ate the grilled shrimp butter I was holding.

“Can I have another one?”

“Yes, eat.”

I wouldn’t have touched it, but a plump shrimp floated in the air.

It slipped into Shin Seong-ah’s mouth.

I asked her with a satisfied expression.

“Is Grandpa gone?”

“Yeah, he said he had finished his errands, and he passed away right away.”

“You seem to be busy with work.”

“The frequency of unpredictable dungeons is increasing. It seemed that he was busy updating the existing system.”

Thanks to the machine that observes the shaking of space invented by the great sage, it was possible to predict the occurrence of the dungeon.

Just like the incident at the department store, the number of dungeons that went beyond the predictions was increasing.

Despite the great sage’s efforts, I know that more dungeons will occur unexpectedly in the future.

‘Later, a dungeon will be created at the desired location, and a terror-causing guy will appear.’

In the end, it falls at the hands of Kang Min-hyuk, but hundreds of thousands of people have been sacrificed until then.

I try to block it as much as I can, but unlike the cases I intervened and ended well so far.

There are many things that will happen in the future that are incomparably larger than before.

It will be difficult to avoid even one victim.

‘I’ll try my best to be within my reach.’

Tzzle-

The moment I was about to eat chicken skewers, I felt someone’s life.

The two people on either side don’t seem to feel this life.

‘They said it was sent to kill me.’

It was a sharp killing that was ranked in the top 3 among the ones I’ve felt so far.

Oddly enough, the life itself was so light that I wouldn’t have felt it without ＜Mind’s Eye＞.

It was a killing spree that made me feel as if he was trying to test me rather than aiming for my life.

I only rolled my eyes to check the direction the life was pouring out.

‘Eyes met.’

What spurted death to me was a man in uniform with a sword at his waist.

It resembles Namgungik, but the expression on that side is richer.

He smiled at me and erased his life.

and came slowly

[Enemy?]1

‘No, not enemies. Look at the look and feel. Namgungse’s side. Wouldn’t it be Namgoongik’s relative?’

[Why did a person who is a relative of a close friend send you to live?]

‘Wouldn’t the purpose be to test me? You can’t be Namgoong-Ik’s friend at the level of not being able to live or react. Something like that.’

[You’re the kind of person who buys troublesome things.]

‘Because the more famous the family is, the more they value face.’

Sometimes, because of that face, the pillars of the family are shaken.

The Namgung family is still better than the other five generations.

As much as it is rooted in the midfield Moorim, it has a strong tendency to be strong.

However, he did not act with the logic of power as in Protestantism or Apostle Ryeon.

It was not a family that caused confusion or committed immoral acts by excessive fights over interests.

The person who pushed his life toward me waved at Namgungik and greeted him.

“You seem to be doing well. Is this your friend?”

I’m sure his physique is about the same as mine, but maybe it’s because of the atmosphere around him.

It felt bigger than Namgungik, a giant over 2 meters tall.

The expression was smiling, but I could feel that it was a made-up fake.

Namgoong-Ik showed an uncomfortable expression on his face for a very short time, and then responded with an expressionless expression.

“I heard that the family is sending someone. I didn’t know Uncle Hui was coming.”

“They say I’m the most free. I’m not alone, though.”

“Who else besides Uncle… .”

Amidst the crowd, Namgung-Ik and a woman who resembled Namgung-Hwi in front of him rushed in.

In her hand was a sharp sword.

The sword was swung towards Namgoongik.

“Ugh.”

Namgung-Ik stopped the sword by injecting energy into the skewer he was eating tteokbokki with.

Unable to withstand the blown bet, the wooden skewer soaked in the tteokbokki broth burst into pieces.

Immediately after, her eyes lingered on Namgoong-Ik’s waist for a moment.

Confirming that Namgoong-Ik did not have a sword, she returned the sword she drew and said coldly.

“It’s good that your skills don’t look like they’ve retreated.”

“Yuna.”

Namgoong Yeon.

Namgoong-ik’s twin sister.

She is a heroine called Geombong (劍鳳), who occupies a corner of the Three Peaks of Oryong.

Unlike Namgung Ik, a giant over 2 meters tall, Namgung Yeon was on the small side.

It seems to be half a head smaller than Shin Seong-ah.

It will be at the same level or slightly higher than the Hanso rate.

However, unlike the hands of the two people, Seomseomoksu, Namgungyeon’s hand was a swordsman’s, calloused and rough.

“While I couldn’t see you, your momentum has sharpened a lot.”

“Even while you let go of the sword, I kept trying. It is a natural result.”

Namgung-yeon’s sharp attitude towards Namgung-ik.

It was clear to anyone that the relationship between the two was not good.

‘Even in the novel, it was said that they didn’t get along, but I didn’t expect that they would fight each other as soon as they met.’

Inside Namgoong-yeon’s eyes, there were mixed feelings of disgust, fear, and lingering feelings.

From the mixture of conflicting emotions, it was possible to guess that the relationship between the two was complicatedly twisted.

Soon after, Namgoongyeon turned her gaze away from Namgoongik and disappeared through the crowd.

Namgunghui patted Namgungik on the shoulder, who had a bitter expression on his face.

“See you later. During winter vacation, I tried to tell them to come back home.”

“All right. We have a family event this time, so let’s go back.”

“If you want, your friends can come too. I should follow Yeon-yi before he gets too far.”

Leaving those words behind, Namgunghui also disappeared into the crowd following Namgungyeon.

Namgung Hwi is also a supporting character who appeared quite heavily in the original episode.

It is because his death, who has risen to the level of an S-class hero and a hwagyeong, served as a signal to announce the approaching threat to the Namgung family.

‘Unlike in the novel, it’s surprising that the inside of a person looks a bit dark.’

[In my own experience, I’ve never seen a snake-like person like that not do anything behind the scenes.]

‘In the original work, he appeared as a responsible adult who assisted Namgungyeon, the small head of the Namgung family.’

The only difference from the original work is Namgoong-ik’s survival.

Perhaps, unlike the original, Namgunghui continued to be a snake.

‘Maybe he’s the one who wants to make Namgung-yeon a Sogaju.’

[The battle for the heir of the High Family or something like that?]

‘Namgoong-Ik doesn’t seem to be interested in the position of Sogaju, but I don’t know what the people around me will think.’

[Dude, I don’t know if you’ve been caught up in trouble.]

Next year, the two will become adults, and an event to officially appoint Sogaju is scheduled.

If you accept Namgunghui’s invitation and follow Namgungik to visit the Namgung family this winter vacation.

Poison mixed with food came out, or a watering can came out aiming for his life while he was sleeping.

I don’t know if I can have a fresh and fun experience that I can’t experience anywhere with money.

Shin Seong-ah asked Namgoong-ik, who was downcast.

“Brother?”

“yes. Twins.”

“What did you do wrong?”

“wrong… . I did make a big mistake.”

Shin Sung-ah didn’t ask any more about Namgoong-ik’s depressed appearance.

I, too, was curious about the past of the two, which was not described in the original work.

I had no intention of asking without notice.

To lighten the mood, I deliberately spoke to Namgungik in a bright voice.

“I was invited. Wouldn’t it be polite not to go? During winter vacation, is it okay if I go over to your house to play?”

“yes… .”

“I had something to do with the midfielder Moorim, but it went well.”

It was because I couldn’t have the holy things of Protestantism forever.

I needed to arrange a deal on the right line.

If it was a business card for being a guest of the Namgung family, it was worth using.

At least when visiting Shinkyo, you won’t be barred from the doorstep.

“Originally, when I’m in a bad mood, I eat to relieve it. The stomach seems to be adequately filled. Now let’s go to dessert.”

“I don’t think much… .”

“I’m going because I want to eat. Shinsung, don’t you pull something sweet too?”

I winked and said so that only Shin Seong-ah could see.

Did she notice my signals? He answered my question in an exaggerated manner.

“Yes, I also want to eat something sweet just in time. There is a crepe shop over there. How about that?”

“good.”

I also responded in an exaggerated tone to suit her.

To others, it must have looked like a bad play.

I didn’t know Shin Seong-ah couldn’t act like this.

“let’s go.”

Even though the pulling force was not great, Namgung-Ik’s body came with it.

* * *

After breaking up with the two of them, I decided to continue looking around the festival by myself.

Shin Seong-ah said that she was still not full, so she stayed in the food truck area to eat a few more.

Namgoong-Ik checked the terminal and said that there was something to gather for club work, so we had to go there.

As the club he joined is the ‘Joel Fan Club’, he seems to be preparing anything for tomorrow’s performance.

“Come on, take a look and go. There might be something you need.”

Between the colorfully decorated booths.

If you don’t observe carefully, a shabby mat laid in a place where you will pass by.

There was an old woman selling glass bottles filled with colorful liquids.

“Here you are.”

It’s Eleanor.

Although this time, she doesn’t look like a child, but looks like an old woman who doesn’t look too different from her age.

“Secret Bundle Shop. You have a good name. What about Han So-yul?”

“Ah, it was you, Hanzo. Soyul is about to go to the dormitory to bring a new book.”

“Did you sell some stuff?”

“I went to see how many people were there. There are only two people who bought something. I was thinking of quitting because the business wasn’t working.”

I crouched down in front of the mat and checked the items she was selling.

The name and efficacy of the reagent, as well as precautions and side effects, were all written on the tag on the bottle.

＜Breath of the Dark Dragon＞

-Contains the Dragon’s Curse (equivalent to Circle 6).

– Curses do not distinguish between enemies and allies.

-The curse is not contagious, but the curse gets stronger as time passes.

＜Blessing of the Earth＞

– Even dying plants can be revived.

-Due to excessive effects, plants may overgrow.

-Overgrown plants can cause mutations.

＜Tears of Awakening＞

-It was made with the tears of graduate students who stayed up all night before their graduation thesis.

– I can go without sleep for a week.

– The sleep that was put off comes at once.

＜Invisibility Potion＞

– The body becomes transparent.

-The lens is also transparent, so while it is transparent, we are blind.

– Duration is 10 seconds.

The effect was certain, but it was something with a screw missing one by one.

Depending on how you use it, you can use it to its full potential.

I don’t know how many people can do that.

“You are selling unique items.”

“It’s ambiguous to say that it’s a failure, but it’s a waste to write it myself or give it to someone. What, is there anything you want?”

“I want to take it all if I have the same mind.”

“It’s nice to hear that, even if it’s just empty words. Are you sure you want to take it all with you?”

“If you do, I won’t decline.”

“Take everything with you.”

She put the items that had been lined up on the stall and handed them to me in a sack.

The sack of reagents was enchanted with space, just like the bag I had used before.

“That’s a bonus.”

“thank you. And I heard you have something to tell me.”

“Oh right. Wait a minute.”

Immediately after, Eleanor rummaged through her robe and pulled out an object.

“This!”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by what she brought out.
