Academy Silver Gatekeeper - Academy Silver Gatekeeper chapter 95

95 – Let’s work hard, Examiner – 1

12:45. There are still 15 minutes left until lunchtime.

To be honest, I never wanted to come early.

Suhyeon gave such a strong opinion that he followed it.

“Dean. I am the white paper examiner.”

“Come in.”

When I opened the door and entered, only Ma Hak-jun was sitting in the dean’s office.

I guess I came too early. There’s nothing wrong with coming 15 minutes early.

I think it would have been better to chat with Suhyeon for 15 minutes.

“You came early. The other professors haven’t come yet.”

“Well, I thought it would be an important story. Somehow, I came early.”

Ma Hak-jun smiled as if my answer was more willing than he thought.

Seeing that, in my heart, I thought that Suhyeon was good at listening.

“Come to think of it, you still don’t know.”

“Are you talking about why I asked you to gather in the dean’s office this time? If that… .”

“That’s what I was talking about earlier. What I’m talking about is something else.”

Ma Hak-jun stood up and said to look around the dean’s office.

Do you have anything? I did what I was told to do, but there is nothing different from before.

So, Ma Hak-jun said as he made an expression that he did not understand at all.

“Do you know how many professors there are at this academy?”

“Even if I can’t do it, I know that it will exceed double digits.”

“right. However, compared to that, isn’t the dean’s office where we are supposed to gather is too small?”

uh. Come to think of it, is it really like that? This isn’t a conference room, it’s the dean’s office.

He said he had something to say and called me and all the professors into the dean’s office rather than the meeting room.

Of course, I was missing something that I should have questioned.

“… By any chance, is there a secret room?”

It’s a question I’ve only asked once, but Ma Hak-jun nods.

Then he walked over to the bookshelf and pulled out a book.

Ugh-!

A bookcase opens with a dull sound, and a door appears beyond it.

“Go in.”

I followed Ma Hak-jun and stepped inside.

The inside was a completely different space from the dean’s office, which was not so spacious.

A large table, dozens of chairs, and even a huge screen in front.

Would you say that it has a strong feeling like the ‘Operation Command Room’ that you only see in movies?

‘What. This absurd situation.’

Of course, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed. A secret meeting room in the dean’s office, not anywhere else.

It could have been installed anywhere in the academy, but why is it in the dean’s office?

“It will be a little strange. I installed something like this in the dean’s office.”

“To be honest… It’s a little too strange.”

“To explain, this is a place used for really important meetings.”

In a word, it is not usually used.

If it was installed in the dean’s office, it’s honestly right.

You can’t leave the conference room in the dean’s office just because you’re crazy.

You wouldn’t know whether the contents of the meeting go into your ears or your nose.

“And the calling professors are people you can trust unconditionally. They are the ones who have completed the investigation after the investigation.”

“Weren’t all the academy faculty members chosen to be trustworthy?”

“Yes it was. But isn’t it ubiquitous? Above all, your opinion was quite persuasive.”

In my opinion, it must be the possibility of a traitor within the academy.

The villains so accurately identified the location of the training team and attacked.

this can’t be a coincidence There must be a traitor inside.

I conveyed the opinion to Han Ji-yoon that I should take a good look inside.

And it seems that Han Ji-yoon clearly conveyed that opinion to Ma Hak-jun.

“Are you really sure there is a traitor inside the academy?”

When Ma Hak-jun asked that question, I answered without hesitation.

“Yes. Traitors exist in any organization in the world.”

“Even though you are treated the best and guaranteed the highest honor?”

“If it could be explained in that way, world affairs would have gone very peacefully.”

Either threatened, or succumbed to relentless temptation.

No matter how rich you are, you are greedy for more money.

Even if you don’t know what the villains suggested, ‘Call’ can come out if you’re tempted.

“Then, the professors who received this call… .”

“These are the ones who have completed verification after verification. Professors who don’t come out even when they shake them off.”

It’s not another person, but if Ma Hak-jun says that, trust goes.

Despite countless attempts to infiltrate Frachchi, Ma Hak-jun eventually caught them all.

If you think about that part, the faculty he verified was a clear ally.

“… It seems to be coming soon.”

As I listened intently to Ma Hak-jun’s words, I heard people from outside.

“Have a seat. The meeting will begin soon.”

*

The professors who have been called by Ma Hak-jun are seated in a secret conference room beyond the dean’s office.

They have already been informed about the general situation.

As the current situation was, everyone was making serious faces.

“Has everyone gathered?”

“Yes, dean.”

All the professors are seated, and Ma Hak-jun also sits down.

And after a while, a middle-aged man appeared from the other side of the screen in front of him.

[Did everyone have a good lunch? ]

“Yes, president of the association.”

The man’s true identity is none other than the head of the Association of People with Extraordinary Powers.

He was a man with a more powerful position than most ministers.

[First of all, I would like to express my apologies for bringing all the busy professors together. But as much as an agenda is an agenda, I hope you understand. ]

The president of the association, who quickly sought an apology and understanding, went straight to the point.

[Everyone must have heard the news. A disaster that occurred in Gangwon-do not too long ago. ]

At the words of the president, Ma Hak-jun and the professors look sad.

A tragedy that occurred in an abandoned mine dungeon located in Sokcho, Gangwon-do.

It was an incident in which A-class people with special abilities who entered the dungeon subjugation were wiped out.

Those who had just become A-class, were not yet close to B-class.

rich in practical experience. Literally, seasoned hunters were hunted again.

[The investigation into that has ended. ]

“What is the conclusion?”

[They said that the level of the monsters seems to have greatly improved compared to before. However, the level of the dungeon is still measured as an A grade. ]

Then, a murmur broke out among the professors who were seated.

Competent A-class talents were literally wiped out.

The grade of that dungeon has not changed and is still A grade?

“President of the Association. is that possible? The A-ranks have been wiped out, but the dungeon ranks come out as A-ranks.”

[Of course, I thought of upgrading to S-class. However, no matter how you measure it, the grade of the dungeon was derived as A grade. Perhaps when it is regen, you will have to check it again at that time. ]

The murmur among the professors seldom subsided.

The professors gathered here are also people who played in the field as talented people not too long ago.

That’s why I couldn’t understand that a dungeon at a level where A-ranks could be annihilated was A-rank.

[So, we are currently offering several possibilities. The first is that the villains used some number to abnormally strengthen the monsters inside the dungeon. ]

It is by no means impossible or absurd.

Research on temporarily strengthening people with special abilities by injecting specific drugs has been in progress.

Now, it is said that it is an anti-human act and is banned in all countries.

Among the villains, there are those who study it intensively.

And they could have done that to a monster that wasn’t a person with a special ability.

“But how do the villains break through that boundary and enter the dungeon? Considering the conditions for clearing the dungeon, even if they did that, they would be harmed right away.”

At Professor Han’s opinion, other professors, and Ma Hak-jun, nodded their heads.

If the villains use some number to strengthen the monsters, they will eventually have to enter the dungeon.

How did he break through the boundaries of the area, and how did Clear get out?

When you think about it, there are a lot of things that don’t make sense.

The president of the association seemed to agree as well, perhaps considering that part.

[ I understand. So I’m leaning heavily toward the second possibility. ]

“Are you a mutant?”

At Ma Hak-jun’s question, the head of the association nodded.

Monsters are also living things in a big way. And if it’s a living thing, mutations can come out naturally.

The professors seemed to think that the credibility was quite high.

Right now, when they were active in the field, there was more than one such case.

[ That’s right. First of all, the government seems to be hoping that the second prediction is correct. If it’s a mutant, it’s really coincidence, unfortunately, at that timing, so there’s nothing wrong with it. ]

“I guess you want to say that those juniors were unlucky.”

As if he was not in a good mood, Ma Hak-jun gave a cold voice.

Several people with special powers died in battle, but to just rely on misfortune.

Even if that was true, it was very unpleasant and something was wrong.

“The president of the association.”

At this time, Baek Seo-jin, who was sitting among the professors, raised her hand.

[ Ahh. There was also a white paper judge. ]

“Yes. Oh, is this a place I shouldn’t be in?”

[ Not at all. Rather, if I hadn’t been there, I would have told the dean. ]

After saying that, the president of the association told Baek Seo-jin that if he had something to say, he should do it.

A massive surprise attack by the Villains, and a battle with the Elder.

It’s because it’s hidden in that part, if you look closely, Baek Seo-jin is also related to this incident.

It is said that a similar thing happened in the dungeon where Baek Seo-jin’s training team was in charge.

It was obviously a dungeon chosen according to the level of the academy students.

Students testify that the monsters that appeared at the end were above their level.

In addition to that, the boss could have been reversed by the students.

“Didn’t you say that it was most likely a mutation?”

[It was. ]

“I wish it were just a coincidence. The situation could be even more serious than that, I am thinking.”

[If the situation is more serious, what kind of situation are you talking about? ]

To the question of the president of the association, Baek Seo-jin answered after catching his breath for a while.

“Monsters are changing. More precisely, they are growing up too.”
