Chapter 480 – Episode 480: Peaceful Academy 1
I read the letter that was suddenly in my hand, and I got a good slave for free!
… It seemed like a lot of things were omitted and distorted in a strange direction, but it wasn’t particularly wrong. The incarnations of a magical girl constellation whose name cannot be revealed were all wizards, and most of them were scholars who were crazy about research rather than muscle-minded people who were crazy about battle.
So, my constellation suddenly said, ‘Why don’t you study the magical power of dream demons?’ And the Avatars who decided to go to the academy began their lives as lab slaves without even being able to properly understand the situation. Although it is said that there are only 15 incarnations since they came to this world not long ago, it cannot be said that 15 elite graduate-level talents are not enough.
While conducting research on the magic power of the dream demon, an unexpected helper appeared-
“Oh my, what is this?”
“Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this guy’s face. “Suddenly, I became the academy’s mascot instead of just my family’s kids.”
Wow! The retriever who barked briefly is the main character.
A retriever received as a gift from a loyal canine. On the outside, it looks like just an ordinary cute dog, but it has the mysterious ability to retrieve lost items one by one, and came to the lodging with something in its mouth.
It was given as a gift to Han Ye-ji, but because it spreads healing light, it naturally went to the academy’s treatment wing and became a cat. Although it is Kim Ha-eun’s pet, it has the ability to return curses and magic, and can also bounce detection magic, and roams the academy as it pleases. It was only occasionally seen in pictures in the academy’s incarnation community.
There are eyewitness stories, such as when I got hurt during a sparring match and a cat flew in and healed me, or when I was experimenting with magic in a vacant lot and a cat came and turned the entire magic circle upside down. Among them, the one with the most sightings was the retriever who was the most active due to his liveliness.
“Anyway, what did you have in your mouth? Have you guys lost anything recently?”
“I don’t have anything other than losing my notebook last time.”
“Me too? “I walk around with nothing to lose and only a smartphone.”
“Huh, then you are the Constellation?”
Unlike the cat, which sometimes heals people when they are injured, and the cat, which runs around capriciously with its vicious barking behavior, the retriever runs with the Hwasin cadets when they run to train their physical strength.
Yesterday, we ran in the vacant lot behind Building A, today we ran in the park next to the research building, and tomorrow, we ran together somewhere during basic physical fitness training at the Department of Alchemy…
Then, if someone lost something, they asked about their wallet or cell phone, and the girls treated them like running mates, while the boys treated them like mascots and were busy being cute. Everyone is surprised that the guy who wandered around like that came back after almost a year.
“But what is this? It looks like a document. “Out of all of our kids, isn’t the only one who needs to write documents?”
“Do you know anything? It’s an official letter from Yena, but it may have been lost. Yes, you’re a professor now.”
It’s not that our Hwashins don’t like animals either, so we maintain a friendly atmosphere by stroking their furry heads or explaining things to Sasha, who doesn’t know about retrievers.
Until I saw the document in my mouth.
“… Hey, isn’t this research material from our lab?”
“Right, right?”
It’s been over a year since she hasn’t seen her face, but when Yeji, who claimed to be her owner, hugged her neck tightly and patted her head, she started wagging her tail happily. As a result, the heavy bundle of papers that were tightly in her mouth fell to the floor.
Perhaps it was because of the ability to retrieve lost items, or because the body was strengthened like an incarnation by receiving mana, but fortunately the documents were not covered in saliva. However, the dirty stamp that says [Level 1 Security Document] Stuck on the document catches her eye.
Just looking at it, the red paint looks unusual. Everyone rushes over and puts their heads together as they feel a faint wave of magical power, as if it is not just red dye, but has been magically processed.
“What is this? “Why is he picking this up?”
“What are his abilities? “Isn’t it the ability to find lost items?”
“This is the one in our lab’s confidential safe…”
I wondered why there were paper documents in a world where magic and science fiction blended together, but I couldn’t say anything about the fact that they were made with magical meaning.
A confidential document for research with a magic circle engraved with magical intent. Although the contents are just contents, a familiar energy is fluttering about as if the document itself contains the magical power of a dream demon. So, that means it is a genuine product that cannot be removed or removed… This does not mean that the original was stolen.
Confidential documents that should have been carefully stored in the deepest part of the academy’s research lab disappeared. They were recovered using the power of a messenger retriever.
“Oh, fuck…”
Yeji’s face suddenly distorts as she hears the sound of work increasing.
※
Academy, breached again!
Of course, rather than saying that the academy was breached this time, it would be better to say that there was no way to stop it. At this moment, the only thief who would bother to steal documents related to Mongma’s magical power research would be Mongma.
Even if the guards, including Han Ye-ji, patrolled, they would not be able to find them since they infiltrated through dreams, and all the magical and shamanic tools installed throughout the academy had no function in detecting the magic power of dream demons.
At least some spells have the effect of chasing away nightmares like a dream catcher, so they can be prevented to some extent, but at most, three or four magic items can be used to block the corrupted constellations?
“For some reason, it’s not an overt attack, but it’s approaching in a dark way.”
“That’s right.”
But this time, I don’t feel that big of a crisis. First, if the opponent is a dream demon, I also have some confidence in dealing with it, and on our side, we have Ha-eun, who is perfectly adapted to the magic of a dream demon.
It wasn’t an overt terrorist attack, just a few Hwashin cadets disappearing. However, if he disappeared due to a dream, he would not have been canned in a drum deep in the ocean somewhere, but would be living well in the dream of a dream, so it is somewhat subtle.
If you compare a crazy bomber who randomly shoots people to death and a vicious landlord who kidnaps people and makes them work in his neighborhood, you will immediately be able to answer which one is more vicious.
“The missing incarnations are probably suffering in the nightmare created by the dream demons, but they are probably not dead.”
“Whether it’s a dream demon or a vampire, a person has to be alive to suck for a long time.”
“Suck it, hmmm. Yes, because there is no gain in killing.”
There is no assassin hiding in the academy, there is no madman shooting people with cannons, hypnosis apps are not being distributed under the guise of e-mail, no crazy constellation is leading a space battleship and roaming the skies over the academy, and the sky is not empty. Peaceful days that cannot be torn apart by a single cut of a knife.
When you list it like this, the Academy really sucks.
In any case, compared to past cases, this incident was extremely mild. Only the Hwashin cadets, whose friends have gone missing, are anxious and bring back room ghost stories of some kind… Since my image is just an image, it doesn’t seem to be a big problem.
It may sound funny, but thanks to my being so active, the image of ‘Hongma = nice and naughty’ has become embedded in everyone’s mind. Because of this, there are split opinions on whether the missing Hwasin cadets are in a nightmare or a happy dream.
And the only additional damage is that, like people disappearing, items from the lab are disappearing one by one ――
“Oh, what? “Did you ask again?”
“At this point, isn’t he also influenced by the Constellation?”
“Hmm, are animals also affected by the magic power of the dream demon? Of course, they are not ordinary animals but messengers.”
Wow!
Most of that was solved by the retriever messenger given as a gift by a loyal canine. Whether the documents in the confidential safe are disappearing or the alchemy reagents for research that were delivered today are disappearing, they are wagging their tails and asking like ghosts.
It seems that this retriever perceived disappearing objects as a kind of play. Because I thought that the object that suddenly disappeared on the other side of the dream was a disc thrown by the owner, and I was asking about everything.
Thanks to this, the evil dreamers’ plan that came over with the demon king’s fragments was destroyed by at most a single dog.
… Maybe it’s because he’s a villain who appears in a magical girl drama, but he seems strangely sloppy.
“Anyway, at this point, wouldn’t it be possible to find another way? “I feel like I’m a stationery store in front of an elementary school, stealing them one by one without getting tired of it.”
“Because they didn’t steal it directly, they don’t know we’re taking it back, right? “I just threw it away in my dreams and stopped paying attention, but my child did a good job, so I picked it up.”
“My child? Oh, this guy? But why is the name our child?”
“Each child is called by a different name, but everyone ignores them. The kids in the knight department call him Duke, the wizards call him Jjong, or whatever is convenient.”
Although disappearance is a serious crime, this is a world where alien monsters pollute people’s souls and corrupted constellations commit supernatural terrorism. In such a cruel world, isn’t ‘disappearance with guaranteed life’ a relatively minor crime?
With that in mind, I slowly tapped on my smartphone today, looking at the pile of documents in front of my dorm like a dog delivering newspapers.
If you ask the loyal canine like this, wouldn’t you be able to defeat the dream demon with just the messengers? With a little doubt.
