Academy Genius Craftsman - Academy Genius Craftsman chapter 89

04. Uncomfortable Cohabitation (21)

Certatus frowned at his face reflected in the window.

“Ah, anyway, in case you’re not a bastard, what is this hair?”

Using his window as a mirror, I smeared magic on his fingertips and brushed his hair. He coolly lifted his bangs up as if he had been waxed.

“As expected, if you’re a man, you’re all-back.”

Only then, Kertatus, smiling contentedly, kicked out the second-story window and jumped into the air. There is a kid’s family in this house, so if you go out to the front door and get caught, it’s annoying.

Well, that ends today.

As long as I regain my strength, I will never come back to this run-down room again. Because this body will be completely yours.

The fragments of the soul stone in the heart pulsated loudly, and the black demonic spirit slinked, raising the vitality of the body. Every time I took a step, I easily jumped over the roof of a two-story house.

“Ahahahaha!!”

With a hearty laugh, Kertatus ran through the darkness of the night-shaded street.

There is only one destination.

It was the Klaproth Mansion located on the outskirts of the city.

–

Yuna Cloprot finished all her schedules and returned to her room to take a short break.

After completing exchanges with academy alumni, checking the construction site under construction, reviewing whether there are any other problems before entering the Korean market, receiving a report about her uncle from an employee who still remains in her home country and supports her, We are in close contact with the Korean government….

I was very busy today. Even if you finish all the schedule, the work of the day doesn’t end.

Yuna sat down on her bed and pulled out her laptop. Before she finishes the day, she prepares for the next day.

‘Before going to sleep, she reviewed the list of prospects she had her eye on once more… Hmmm, by the way, I also had homework.’

While she was busy, she had to perfectly parallel her academy life. She can’t miss this part because she decided to go to Korea with her home as an excuse for her studies.

Yuna rubbed the back of her neck because of her aching shoulder pain. Because of her heavy breasts, she is always on the side of being stiff, but she has recently increased her work and the pain has become more severe.

“Whoa….”

I’m tired. A deep sigh leaked out without me knowing.

Yuna is also an Awakener, but she is not a physical person, so her work fatigue is serious. She holds on to her laptop, struggling to keep her mind about to collapse from overwork.

There was a hand massaging her shoulder instead.

“My lady. Groups are not good.”

“Oh, sorry. Did you hear me?”

“I can hear that. You know how good my ears are.”

Her name is Chae Yeon-seo. Due to her position as Yuna’s bodyguard and her master-servant relationship, she cannot openly reveal it, but in fact she is like her real sister to Yuna.

Kim I-jin may not remember, but she was behind Yuna even during the fair, and she was still in the same room as close guard.

Chae Yeon-seo placed her fingers on Yuna’s shoulder and continued her massage gently. Unlike other attendants, she was able to touch Yuna’s bare skin because she was like her family, who had spent a long time with her.

“My lady. Relax a little more.”

” … Yes. Oh there… !”

“Here? Do you like this place?”

“Sigh… ! Yes… great….”

Yuna was able to catch her breath after getting her massage to the point of feeling drowsy. After her fatigue was relieved, her mind was refreshed and she was able to concentrate on her work again.

“Is that work again? Get some rest.”

“I have homework left. If her sister had just entered the school with me, she would have left things like this. Hmm, no… Are you faking your age right now?”

“Yes? I can’t do support and classes. I specialize in using my body.”

“Aren’t you saying you can’t enter? Are you admitting that it’s for a while?”

“Yes? I can’t stop it anyway, really.”

Chae Yeon-seo is 27 years old. She is only ten years older than Yuna. She has already graduated from school, but she is an awakened person, she is aging slowly, and she is wearing a school uniform.

Of course, I’m just saying that because we’re so close. After light jokes and giggles, Yuna focuses on her laptop screen again.

“When I said it was homework, I remembered the classmates I brought today.”

“Huh? Ah, Kim Yi-jin and Yoon Seo-hee?”

“I admit that student Yoon Seo-hee. She looked stronger than me at such a young age, but she had enough skills that the media praised her as the youngest S-class. But that student named Kim Yi-jin… Was she worthy of a lady bowing her head? She even handed over the chains of her steed….”

At that, Yuna’s fingers, which were tapping her laptop quickly, stopped for a moment.

“What did I lose today?”

“Yes? Hey, didn’t you just give me the chain of the seal and the expansion backpack for the prototype test? It’s a functional check. You can bring in any technician and do-“

“That kind of mess was made because no one else was there, right?”

“Ah… that’s….”

That’s the reality and Yuna’s current situation. Claprot’s influence reaches this far-away land, so no engineer is willing to give up her job and work for Yuna.

Maybe we can barely bring in a second or third class. It’s a life where you earn and eat every day anyway. If you offer a high salary, you will be able to have a reasonable assortment.

However, ‘reasonable’ is not the result Yuna wants. If she is not unconditionally first-class in the name of Claprot, she is nothing less than trash.

“What is the importance of age and experience? Of the options given to me right now, he is the best. And sister, is the chain of the seal horse really that expensive?”

“Of course! Isn’t that something you can’t get even if you have money?”

“Right. It’s the best for rarity. But it wasn’t the most expensive thing in it.”

Considering the discernment he showed during class, he probably didn’t know the value of the items in the warehouse. If money was the purpose, there were many items that were more expensive and had excellent liquidity. However, Kim Yi-jin picked up and chose the chain of the seal.

If you take him to a warehouse where countless treasures are piled up and make him choose the one he wants, his eyes will usually turn around and he will show the most honest greed.

You can read the other person’s values to some extent depending on what kind of item they choose.

“Isn’t that a dangerous thing? You’ll only become a target for demon worshipers if you have them. Then, you say you want something other than money, but could you convince such a person with money? It’s better to see the match with sincerity.”

“In such a short time, such a judgment… But that didn’t mean the lady had to bow her head.”

“I can bow my head as many times as I want to protect my father’s company.”

Once is a coincidence, but twice is inevitable. If it is enough to make the sword that cut the banshee and the sword of Yoon Seo-hee, Kim I-jin’s ability as a maker is unmistakably first-rate.

No, maybe it’s a unique ability that goes beyond the first class.

There was even a semi-S-class item, but Yoon Seo-hee didn’t even pay attention to her weapon. Is she satisfied with the sword she is using now? Or if it’s Kim Yi-jin, does she believe that one day she will create a weapon that will surpass even a semi-S class?

‘If you found a stone buried in the mud… There is no joy like that as an investor.’

It was late at night.

Yuna covered her laptop. Any more overnight stays will affect tomorrow’s schedule. The moment I thought I was going to go to sleep after fixing the unfinished part even during school.

Chae Yeon-seo raised her voice when she was urgently contacted by her device alone.

“My lady! It’s an intruder!”

“Huh?”

“An unidentified intruder is breaking through the front gate in seconds and disabling the security system in the garden! What… Did you already reach the main building? Miss! We need to dodge it right now!”

Yuna, who was in a half-dazed state from the pouring sleep energy, quickly came to her senses.

Intruder? Where the hell did she send it to? Is your uncle already? Why? She probably hasn’t done anything outward yet.

‘No way….’

Did your uncle hear that I was secretly recruiting hunters and forming a guild? So are you trying to get rid of me?

“Kuh… ! Everyone who can fight against the intruders! If suppression is not enough, it’s okay to shoot!”

“Yes! Deploy all combat personnel! Allow killing in case of emergency!”

Chae Yeon-seo delivers Yuna’s commands through her holo device. She and she opened the door to a secret passage hidden in the room.

“My lady! Come on in!”

“Oh, okay!”

Yuna hurriedly took only her item crystal, which contained her own sniper rifle, and entered her secret passage.

Really uncle’s… What should I do if Klaproth’s assassin came? I never thought that it would be discovered so quickly, even that it would move so actively… !

Chae Yeon-seo grabbed Yuna’s hand as she chewed her lips at her nervousness.

“My lady. Do not worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you!”

“… Yes.”

The warmth of her clasped hands soothed Yuna’s confused heart.

‘Calm down. Calm down, Yuna Klaproth… ! You’re Claprot’s eldest daughter, aren’t you? Then it’s not a situation to be lost here! Think what to do!’

After taking a deep breath, Yuna calmly opened her mouth.

“First of all, let’s get out of the mansion and evacuate to the safe house. Then figure out the situation. Who is doing it, what is the purpose… After that, let’s find a countermeasure.”

“Yes, lady!”

Chae Yeon-seo silently closed the door to her secret passage. Soon, Yuna’s room was immersed in darkness and silence. The clamor of battle outside could only be heard intermittently.

Kiik – There was a shadow entering through the door of the owner’s empty room. The name of the servant who dared to enter without even knocking without the owner’s permission was Philip.

It was the attendant who secretly contacted the vice president a while ago.

“My lady?”

There was no reply. After confirming that no one was in the room, Phillip stared at the bookshelf on the wall and smiled.

It was the location of the secret passage through which Yuna and Chae Yeon-seo had just escaped.
