I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes - I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes chapter 82

First Murder

“What’s wrong?”

Aine asks

“There is a trap ahead.”

Master looks at Veronica with slightly startled eyes.

“Certainly, I feel a suspicious presence in front of you.”

However, Master, who had been watching for a while, shook his head.

“Uh… This is the first type of magic trap I’ve ever seen. It is different from the one in the East.”

Perhaps embarrassed, Master’s face turned slightly red.

“It looks like it will be difficult to release… ”

Master, I must have cleared a lot of traps while I was active in the country of beasts in the east.

This is a new kind of trap, painstakingly installed in the Black Horse Tower.

It must be the first time I see it as a teacher.

But, nothing to worry about.

Because we have Veronica who is called a genius when it comes to magic.

“I think I can.”

“Huh? Is that real?”

“yes.”

Veronica puts her staff on the stone floor and spills mana.

As blue mana flowed to the floor, Veronica mumbled something.

Before long, a magic circle appeared at the bottom of the cave and glowed blue.

Veronica uses her wand to move the magic circle here and there, and the magic circle changes little by little at the tip of her wand.

Let’s hold our breath and watch it for a moment.

Whew!

With the weak wind, the magic circle loses its light and disappears.

“It’s safe now.”

With those words, Veronica stepped into the place where the magic circle had just been.

And, nothing happened.

“It’s great… ”

Aine sheds admiration.

Master and Felice also look at her with surprised eyes.

Veronica, who took the lead, turned to me and carefully said, ‘Did I do well?’ to make the same face.

I smiled at her too.

“great! let’s go!”

It’s a surprise.

Veronica suddenly screams like that, and for some reason she walks with an ambitious look.

After that, Master and Veronica walked ahead and checked the trap.

Veronica unlocked it and we moved on.

Aine asked if it was strange to see that, the secret.

Master said that he sensed the presence, and Veronica said the flow of mana was strange.

“Hey… ”

I asked Veronica, who had already unlocked some traps.

“Veronica, is Mana okay?”

“yes! Sophisticated control is important for dispelling the magic circle, but it doesn’t cost much mana.”

She stops and says

Now without any further explanation, he put his wand against the wall.

This time, a magic circle appeared on the right wall.

Maybe she got used to it, and she was able to disarm the magic circle much faster than the first time.

“By the way, what is really here… ?”

“Isn’t it a dungeon?”

They are having a discussion about what kind of place this place is.

This is the secret passage to the laboratory.

More precisely, it was a secret passageway for escape.

Although we are using it as an entrance now, the actual entrance to the laboratory is hidden elsewhere.

The purpose of this place is to come out from the inside.

I made it so that I could enter from the entrance on the side of the cave just in case something happens.

Anyway, it was originally used to escape from the lab.

The secret research being conducted in the Black Mage Tower right now was a dangerous thing that could run out of control at any moment.

It was natural to be more careful than usual in experiments using magic.

The fact that there were so many traps was also to prepare for intruders entering from the outside.

In fact, the hidden entrance in the cave in the middle of the dark forest, who the hell would enter through it?

I could see how important the Black Mage Tower valued this laboratory.

When you come out from the inside, you will disable all the traps through the device and come out.

“Maybe there is a great treasure?”

“treasure! Perhaps the legendary staff… ”

“Gold and silver treasures… ”

Veronica and Aine talk freely and their eyes shine.

Felice’s eyes were twinkling, and Master’s ears perked up as well.

“Next time, I should brag to Sally… ”

“If I have a treasure, I can avoid making my sister suffer… ”

Aine seemed excited.

And Veronica, who had been excited until just now, murmured to each other with a depressed expression.

Well, there are no gold and silver treasures in there.

I wonder if Aine’s wish will come true if he thinks of the reward money that will come out after reporting the secret laboratory of the Black Mage Tower.

And Veronica doesn’t want anything.

She has more treasures in it.

Because we talked about this and that for a while longer.

Finally, the passage comes to an end and a door appears in front of us.

Master and Veronica look closely at the door and say.

“There are no traps.”

I grabbed my sword and stepped forward, asking one last question.

“Felice, how is your body?”

“Okay.”

“Veronica, do you have enough mana?”

“I don’t know if that’s enough… It’s adequately filled.”

“Master, Aine, everyone’s body… ”

“I am all right!”

“Me too!”

Although Felice’s wounds were a little unsettling.

It’s a difficult situation right now, anyway.

I breathed mana into my sword.

“Lou, Louie?”

“I don’t think there’s anything beyond the door… ”

Master says.

However, in the game, there were definitely wizards standing guard right beyond the door.

I hold the handle.

“Then, are you going in?”

gulp.

Everyone nods their heads.

Immediately ready to swing my sword, I slammed the door open.

‘Everything is dead… ‘

But.

“what?”

“Didn’t you say there was nothing?”

Master speaks again.

“haha… ”

I scratched the back of my head.

Well, we probably didn’t arrive at the same time as in the game.

“By the way, here… ”

For a dungeon, everyone tilts their heads as they look a little different.

But for a while.

Before going a little through the door, two robed wizards appeared from over the corner.

“Maybe back… ”

Two wizards rushing to each other muttering something.

Our eyes met them.

However, unlike the party members who were embarrassed because they did not expect to meet people in a place like this except for me.

The wizards over there tried to cast their magic without hesitation.

“this… !”

The sword I had just stored mana in, I threw it at one guy.

pooh.

“Ok!”

A wizard who was trying to cast a spell gets a sword in the chest and falls down.

When the party members were bewildered by the sudden situation, Master was the first to move.

But the other one had already fired the magic.

“Harm!”

I pushed Veronica, who was panicking, and rolled the floor together.

Quang!

Towards the place where Veronica was standing just now, an ominous black sphere flies and explodes.

“Hee, hee!”

Surprised Veronica screams.

At the same time, Master’s dagger cut the remaining wizard’s neck.

It was an instant.

“What, what… ”

Felice stutters.

“Ooh, they tried to kill us… Without any hesitation… ”

Veronica is also very surprised, but her legs are loose and she can’t get up.

“More, wasn’t it like a dungeon!”

Aine shouts.

“Disciple, you better go out soon.”

I nodded.

Because I knew I couldn’t leave anyway.

“A person died… ”

Veronica murmurs.

Even though death is a more familiar world than where I originally lived.

Still, it must have been a shock to the party members.

Of course, it was my first time coming to this world and killing people.

They’re obviously trying to kill us.

It felt worse than I thought.

When I get up, Veronica casually grabs my arm.

“Louis, Sa, thank you for saving me… ”

“yes.”

Veronica’s voice was still trembling as if she was shocked.

I headed towards the mage’s corpse and pulled out the sword stuck in his chest.

My hand drawing the sword was trembling.

In an instant, someone grabbed my hand.

I looked to the side, and Master was holding my hand.

“Are you all right, disciple?”

I smiled at her.

“yes.”

Perhaps thanks to her, the trembling of her hands stopped.

And Aine’s voice mixed with crying came from behind.

“The door won’t open!”

knew

Because not everyone can use the secret passage in the first place.

A password is required to exit.

Except for Master, everyone looked as flustered as Aine.

Of course, there was no such dangerous thing during the assignment.

Even on the day I dealt with the gargoyles, I could have caught them if I had dealt with them all together.

However, she almost died at the hands of witches earlier, and she almost died from magicians just now.

No wonder everyone panicked.

“Mi, I’m sorry… I just wanted to come… ”

Veronica whimpers.

We shook our heads.

“No, we all agreed.”

i told them

“It seems inevitable. First of all, let’s go forward.”

Except for Master, everyone looked scared.

In the end, everyone nodded because there was no way.
