Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 280

took the bait (5)

“Should we first establish our relationship and then move on?”

“That’s good. I also think it’s a good idea to establish a clear relationship on the way there.”

A man walked in front of Seungwoo.

Although he doesn’t know where he is leading himself.

I followed him without saying a word.

‘Come to think of it, it would seem like a really strange combination to other people.’

A middle-aged man in his 50s and a young man in his 20s.

Up to this point, there was nothing wrong.

With this much of an age difference, you could consider it a father-son relationship.

But if there is a long fox tail extending from the waist of the two, it is a different story. And there is not even just one tail.

The middle-aged ones had eight tails, and the young ones had six.

The fox ears on top of the head are a bonus.

─Honestly, I feel a little uncomfortable observing the two from behind.

‘What do you think of the two men walking around with fox tails and fox ears?’

─Yeah, it’s a bit awkward.

‘You also have them hanging on your head and around your waist.’

─… … Ah.

Fox fur of all colours.

Although one is a ghost, I think that perhaps all the fur colors that can come from a fox have appeared in this place.

Elder is white, Seungwoo is black, and Tamamo is brown.

Even the number of tails varied, making it fun to watch.

Eight, six, nine in that order. It’s really very colorful.

─Okay, I forgot for a moment. Now that I think about it, I was a gumiho, right?

‘No matter how you forget, you can’t forget your own identity.’

─What about identity? If you look at it that way, there are only three foxes here who share the same lineage as me. They all share the same characteristics, so how can this be my identity?

‘Then what is your identity?’

─Knowledge.

Knock knock.

Tamamo tapped her head with her fingers.

The knowledge contained in that small head was a treasure trove of knowledge that even Seungwoo, who had read countless books until then, could not fathom.

Of course, when I saw Nam Hwa-yeon read a book at once, and read dozens of books at once, I realized that she was a real treasure trove of knowledge.

Before discussing Nam Hwa-yeon, it was clear that Seung-woo’s knowledge was still immature compared to Tamamo.

Certainly knowledge is her identity.

─Why is your expression like that?

‘Just because I thought it was cool.’

─Oh my, are you jealous now? You don’t have to be. Just because you have a lot of knowledge doesn’t mean you’re wise.

Tamamo whispered her words into Seungwoo’s ear.

─Being old means you have lived a long time, and it means you have read and experienced a lot of knowledge. Some older people may have less knowledge than young people, but most of them do not.

Although written knowledge may be lacking.

The knowledge of life’s history could not dare to catch up with the old people.

So are they really wise?

It was such an easy question, and the answer was right in front of me.

‘Of course not.

─Why are you so sure?

‘Does that old man seem wise to you?’

─… … Not at all.

‘Then there’s the answer. Being old and having a lot of knowledge doesn’t make you wise.’

5th Elder Baek Seok-ho.

It was the middle-aged man’s title and name that I remembered only now.

Despite his title as an elder, he was not a wise man.

Rather, it was a case where the hypertrophied muscles of the entire body invaded the brain.

If something goes wrong, use your power.

Head? That’s a weak organ used only by those who lack strength.

If you are truly strong, you can overcome any problem with your fists.

Baek Seok-ho was the person who established that kind of thinking.

─Where did you find that out?

‘Diary. All sorts of knowledge were written in the mind.’

Since he was the one who brought the Ninetails Guild to its current position, Seungwoo expected a high-level political fight.

The Baek Seok-ho that Seung-woo had seen so far might have a bad personality, but he wasn’t a stupid person. He had definitely expected that it would be a tough fight.

‘I never thought you’d be a muscle brain type.’

A person with a simple and ignorant mind, also known as a muscle brain.

To put it simply, it means the same thing as a stone head, but Baek Seok-ho wasn’t really that bad. He was smart, but he was someone who didn’t think much because he put his actions before his brain.

─So you’re saying that the brain is made of muscles?

‘… … Still, I like that guy’s head. It’s because he doesn’t think about it.’

You can tell just by looking at this incident.

If the guild leader Baek Seok-ho had intervened in advance, there was a high possibility that the flow of change in the situation would not have occurred as desired.

But he neglected it.

There were many parts that were not convincing enough to say that it was done on purpose.

It felt like there was no response at all.

─If you don’t use your intelligence even though you’re smart, isn’t that stupid? How about trying to refute it logically?

‘… …Actually, I’m kind of stupid.’

I repeat, Baek Seok-ho is a person who doesn’t need to use his head.

He had a strong body and great strength.

This power soon gave him the confidence that if he just threw one more punch during a time of deep thought, the case would be solved.

In a way, Baek Seok-ho can be seen as an acquired idiot.

‘You said it. Just because you have a lot of knowledge or are old doesn’t mean you’re wise.’

─I definitely said that.

‘That’s right, Baek Seok-ho is old. I’m not sure if he’s in his 40s or 50s, but he’s lived much longer than me. He must have accumulated a lot of knowledge while serving as both an elder and a guild leader.’

Still, Baek Seok-ho is not wise.

As I emphasized, he is stupid.

An old person who has lived for a long time may have a lot of knowledge, but it cannot be guaranteed that he is wise. Baek Seok-ho is the same.

For a moment, Baek Seok-ho’s appearance caught Seung-woo’s eye.

Baek Seok-ho’s appearance, which made him look like a young man despite his considerable age, seemed to further reveal that he was an ambiguous person who did not have the experience of years despite his age.

At least that’s what it seemed to Seungwoo.

‘By the way, how far are you walking?’

I continued walking while chatting with Tamamo.

I just kept walking without knowing where my destination was.

I’m starting to get bored.

“So, how should we establish the relationships we were talking about earlier? The head of the household and the elders. The guild leader and the team leader. Well, the two relationships are completely opposite in terms of superior-subordinate relationship, so it’s hard to choose. It’s hard for me to choose, so I’d like to hear your opinions.”

“…….”

Occasionally, I would get questions like this from Baek Seok-ho, but most of them were questions I didn’t feel the need to answer, so I just turned a deaf ear to them.

It also helped that I couldn’t focus on the questions because I was busy communicating with Tamamo.

As expected, when there was no answer, Baek Seok-ho felt the wrinkles between his eyebrows growing in real time. This kind of neglect. It was a contempt he had never experienced even as a child.

Baek Seok-ho was resentful of this treatment.

‘I’ll make sure to step on you this time.’

This is not a commonly used metaphor, I really intend to step on it.

I’ll crush your handsome head with my shoe.

Where he was headed now was a place where he could make these thoughts a reality.

“Arrived.”

“It took much longer than I thought. But your speech has changed.”

“Because there’s no one here to hear the conversation, and the sound won’t leak out.”

“Oh, so you’re saying we should have a slanderous conversation or something?”

I mean, something like swearing.

It’s definitely a great place to have a secret conversation.

A huge circular dome.

The space inside is very spacious, but it is ultimately closed off on all sides.

There are no CCTVs or anything like that, and the walls are made of sound-blocking material.

‘I made this on purpose.’

I have a rough idea of ​​what kind of place this is.

Here it is.

“This is a place to dispose of people.”

“……Can you see that?”

“Even if you can’t see it, you can feel it. The stench of blood hidden in the awful smell of Lux. The despair and resentment of the dying people.”

“……Saying unpleasant things.”

It is a place to deal with reactionaries who rebel against the group.

It wasn’t a particularly strange place. I heard that every S-class guild usually had a place like this.

However, it is common sense to dispose of them in the dungeon.

The process of disposing of a corpse in the eyes of society is not an easy task.

But this place has been made into a blatant arena.

“You’re very smart. You’ve been like that since you were little. That’s why I hated you.”

Baek Seok-ho opened his eyes wide.

At the same time, the atmosphere of the area changed.

Soaring life force.

Intense speculation.

It was not the kind of attitude an older gentleman would show to a young man.

“It’s good to respect the elderly, but since you still look so healthy, why don’t you clip your wings and put you in a nursing home?”

“You’re just talking.”

“Really? Do you really think so?”

“…….”

Baek Seok-ho couldn’t readily respond to Seung-woo’s words.

Because now.

He too was feeling the momentum.

The aura emanating from Baek Seung-woo was not one of murder or speculation.

It was a purer energy, closer to enlightenment.

Choaaaak─!

Just then, something black rose from near Seungwoo’s waist.

There was a shadow surrounding it, but it was not a shadow.

It was just a tail of a darker color than pitch black.

Seven tails.

Seven-tailed fox.

A realm that less than 100 people throughout the history of the family have ever reached.

Seungwoo has now reached that level in real time.

‘Actually, it’s not real time.’

Seungwoo’s body needed a long time to digest before reaching perfection.

This completes the primary digestion of the nutrients obtained from swallowing the black nine-tailed fox.

The nine-tailed monster encountered in the dream was huge and powerful.

There were a lot of nutrients to be gained.

It was to the point where the power gained by swallowing the bastard had to be absorbed by classifying it into primary and secondary powers.

‘What is needed for primary digestion is time.’

The nine-tailed fox that appeared in the image was a giant mass of spiritual energy.

It took a full month to absorb it and process it into a form that suited me. It was a relatively short time considering the time it took to level up.

‘It wasn’t the speed I liked.’

It’s like buying time with money in modern times.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could shorten the time with your knowledge and talent?

The idea that he could only gain something by simply and ignorantly letting time pass did not suit Seungwoo’s temperament.

For him, time was more precious than anything else.

Seungwoo’s time density was different from others.

In fact, he became a great wizard in less than a year and developed a potion that would go down in history.

In this way, Seungwoo wanted to use his time as efficiently and effectively as possible. But the damn digestion process only took time.

Because of that, the rise of the realm was halted for a while.

“It’s okay now.”

Second digestive process.

The product you get at the end is the eighth tail.

The process to get it is relatively simple.

It doesn’t take as long as it did when I got the seventh tail.

If the conditions were met, it could have been completed in a day. No, in an hour.

“Come on, hurry up.”

“You don’t seem to be flustered by the sudden situation.”

“I was convinced that you would rather beat me up than try to solve the problem with your intellect.”

Actually, that thought was correct.

“Enough with the rambling. With those eight tails of yours, I hope you can give me some impressive experiences. That way, I can learn something.”

“How dare you mock me……!”

“I just want to learn seriously.”

“I’m saying that you’re making fun of others with that kind of attitude.”

“okay?”

Well then, let me say this.

“Show me something valuable that I won’t mock.”

Show me something.

Then I will quickly unleash the eighth tail through your flash of inspiration.

Surely you can’t do that?

“Isn’t that so?”
