Chapter 10 – Jiah Lee (5)
We arrived in front of the principal’s office. A door engraved with gold on a black wooden door. One last check before knocking. Are there any loose spots on the clothes? Is there anything buried there? After checking it carefully while using the mobile phone to install the mirror app. He sighed.
It is the existence that I want to face with the mask of her calmness, but in her past, when I first met her, I was able to see through her.
-It’s very interesting. The new students entering this year are really of a high level. It’s beyond my expectations. There are at least 6 people who can easily occupy the top spot even if there is just one person… And it’s a mask that deviated from ‘law’.
She thought as she chewed her words. It’s a mask out of principle.
She must have said something tremendously important of the Thousand Masks, given that she had the ‘insight eye’ to see through most of them.
But let’s think about this later. Right now I’m in front of the principal’s office. I knocked on the black door several times with the back of my hand.
Smart.
-Do you want to come in?
A faint voice was heard. And a way of speaking that doesn’t go well with that beauty.
When I opened the door to her words, the smell of grass wafted through. The first thing you see is a woman sitting at a wooden table in the center.
Golden hair and light green eyes. Pointy ears that don’t look human. The impression of looking a little younger than young. A light green and white dress decorated with leaves of grass. And an overwhelming appearance that seems to overwhelm even me.
The principal of the academy as a hobby… Was the fairy queen, Titania.
Her eyes turned towards me. Eyes that could see through anything were directed at me. She looked at me with a quiet smile.
“Siwoo!”
“Sorry, I’m a little late.”
I apologized and glanced around. Lee Ji-ah greets me so fiercely that her brown hair shakes. Next to him was a girl with pink hair. Harin Kim pretends to be timid. There was also Eun Soo-ah, a girl with bleached white hair and golden eyes, with a sullen expression.
Then he saw two boys and a girl next to him.
The two boys and girls had striking looks. It’s a story when you say good words.
They had a unique appearance in this world where their body changes due to their unique characteristics and all kinds of bizarre hair and eye colors change.
A guy who looks so pretty that I don’t know if he’s a man or a woman. A silver-haired, blue-eyed boy yawning lazily. A blond-haired, red-eyed girl standing next to him with an expression as if she was going to die of boredom. I don’t know why, but they were few people who could compare with me who was born with an enormous appearance.
Well, if it’s natural, it’s a natural story. Because they are the warriors who lead the story. They were destined to save this world.
“Good, very good.”
She looked at them carefully, and then looked at her at the words of her headmaster who was pleased. A mysterious woman who speaks with an elderly voice. But she is a real old man. It is also an elderly man who is estimated to be at least 800 years old.
“You’ve grown a lot more than I thought. Especially Jia has grown a lot.”
“No, it’s because the principal is very supportive.”
Lee Ji-ah stuttered and said to the principal. In fact, she gave Lee Ji-ah a lot of support. Magic enhancers that boasted prices of billions of dollars and magic books used by fairies… It was thanks to her support that Lee Ji-ah boasted high grades to the extent of ranking at the top of the academy in just one month.
“Then why did you call us?”
As Lee Ji-ah and the principal laughed and chatted, I could hear a soft voice passing through them. A girl who looks at the principal with an uncomfortable face. Next to him, a boy with silver hair was stroking his forehead as if he had a headache. However, as if her rudeness was nothing, the principal laughed and said,
“Well, I have something to give you guys.”
She beckoned her leisurely. A woman in a maid outfit with impressive gray hair pulled up appeared from her transparent space. Everyone was shaken by her sudden appearance. I was the only one who wasn’t agitated. Because I knew she was here.
Grandehill, a servant who serves the fairy queen who leads the fairies. He is omnipotent in all household chores, and his talent as an assassin is said to be top-notch, making him an excellent thief companion. He grew up with this extremely rare spatial attribute, and his attack and defense were excellent. Movement speed is better. She has lesbian attributes, so she is also one of the characters who fall for the female hero.
“You’re not surprised.”
She looked at me and talked as if Titania was having fun. In an instant, the eyes of the other children were focused.
“Well, there won’t be any normal headmasters, but in the case of a headmaster who leads the fairies, there will always be an escort.”
I said with a slight shrug. As if she was enjoying my reaction, she smiled and said to Grandehill.
“It’s nothing else, the reason I called you is to give you a mission.”
The academy has a written test and a practical test. And the ‘mission’ that goes into the actual test. Going outside the artificial island where the academy exists, killing monsters, or exploring dungeons. It is a task such as
When you play the game, the principal gives the playable character a mission to beat if you follow the basics. It really feels like a tutorial. The reward is more generous than the difficulty, and it is the principal’s duty to make it difficult to receive even if he wants to. If there is a downside to having it once in a semester, it is a downside. It is right to receive this at any cost.
In the academy where you can cover the professors and yourself, you roll harshly, but outside, they give you the difficulty of an easy mission and give you a generous reward. And that’s only for those who were selected with insight from among the talented.
Favoritism in the name of a scholarship student.
It was one of the ways for the principal to faithfully raise the ‘enemies’ of the ‘Demon King’.
“Unlike receiving assignments from outside during the mission week starting next week, I’m taking the initiative. Of course, you can decline.”
“Then, can the reward be picked up from the treasure chest of the fairies?”
“Then.”
Eun Soo-ah asked. At Eun Soo-ah’s words, the principal quietly nodded her head.
“Treasures of the fairies…”
“Hey…”
The two warriors quietly admired. The Fairies’ Treasury is a place where the fairies have collected treasures for 1,000 years. Most of the things they collect are spirit-related items that humans cannot easily obtain.
Even if you sell it, you can get it at a high price, and it was good to increase your affinity with spirits through it.
“Grande Hill.”
“Yes, my queen.”
Grande Hill lowered her head in a restrained motion and pulled a scroll half her size from her bosom. She then unfolded it and placed it on the table in the center.
“There is also an Orc Subjugation.”
“Orcs are boring, but are there such things as ogres?”
Two warriors approached first and took a look at the mission. Orc subjugation would not be an easy task.
Unlike the orcs who scurry around in the game, the orcs here are something like a murder weapon. Firearms work, but it is difficult to inflict damage with moderately small firearms. Each of them is a weapon master who does not choose a weapon, and monsters who do not hesitate to kill. Monsters with crazy specs who can sprint 100m in 7 seconds while possessing the strength to pierce even a rock half the size of a person with one punch. The monsters that are classified as warrior class are that much, and fighters, riders, and chiefs are even more monsters.
However, she is saying such things because her unique characteristic is so specialized in killing monsters and beasts.
I also went through the list of missions.
‘What?’
I was baffled as I was looking through the assignments. It did not come out according to the original mission in the story. Is it because there are two warriors? There is one mission that can suck honey outrageously.
[Thunderbird Subjugation]
Mission Type: Subjugation
Difficulty: B
Subdue the Thunderbird at the Thunderbird’s Nest near Osan.
The subjugation difficulty is B. You shouldn’t ignore it because it’s B grade. It is a level of difficulty that ordinary cadets cannot possibly challenge. Even the heroes show reluctance, and if they challenge with a straight attack, even the Grandehill over there will have to suffer in their own way.
I opened my mouth for a moment and looked at Harin Kim, who was pretending to be innocent. It becomes possible to eat three birds with one stone by dragging Kim Ha-rin, attacking the giraffe’s dungeon, subduing the thunder bird, and gulp the thunder bird’s corpse and the principal’s reward.
“Ha-rin-ah, Ji-ah.”
“Yes why?”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s do this.”
I pointed to the thunderbird subjugation.
“That’s…”
Grandehill was about to say something, but stopped. Because the headmaster, who was looking at me with curious eyes, stopped me with his hand.
“It’s a B difficulty level, is it okay…?”
“M-That’s right. This is only for top level heroes.”
At their restraint, I smirked and said, In fact, as long as Harin Kim is there, the Thunderbird is nothing more than a fast bird that gives expensive rewards.
“It’s okay. There’s an easy way to catch the Thunderbird.”
In fact, I didn’t have too much confidence.
The confidence that you can’t catch the thunderbird.

“Isn’t it funny?”
After all the scholarship students had gone, the space became quiet. There, after staring at the door through which the students had left, Titania opened her mouth.
“Is there an easy way to subdue the Thunderbird?”
“Perhaps there is. He’s the student who came up with a strategy to catch the Cockatrine easily.”
She said, moistening her mouth with the black tea Grande Hill had brewed.
“It was a pretty absurd strategy. Throw a mana doll with curse magic at the cockatrine, run away, relax, and catch it.”
“More than that, the data was as if I had analyzed cockatrice throughout my life. From what they eat as staple food, how they grow up, to their weaknesses, strengths, and habits…”
Cockatrine is a tricky monster. Overwhelming defense and magic resistance that deflects quite a bit of magic and sword energy. It’s not even that the attack power is weak. In other words, the defensive power that deflects sword blades used by quite a few heroes is synonymous with overwhelming offensive power.
To catch this tricky monster, choose one hero as the striker and have the other heroes assist him to increase his attack power and limit the cockatrine’s movement while attacking.
‘But the inside is vulnerable to curses.’
His theory was: The cockatrine is infinitely hard on the outside, but fragile on the inside. It’s also curse-type magic. The thesis he submitted was too detailed to deny it.
Considering that Cockatrine is a monster that even heroes who hunt monsters for a living are rare monsters, you might wonder where he got that information from.
In fact, it was thanks to Cockatrine’s detailed information that the theory professor Kang Kang-ja passed the thesis on the spot. Similarly, did not the ‘Hall’ also request a ‘Gold’ level information reading fee, acknowledging that it was suitable for the prey based on that information?
His reputation grew as it was already known that he easily subdued a cockatrine based on the attack in one area of Switzerland.
“Come to think of it.”
Suddenly, as if he had remembered, Grande Hill opened his mouth.
“A cockatrine appeared during the massacre of civilians three years ago.”
“…”
3 years ago? Titania recalled her memories.
At that time, for a while, the whole world was abuzz with the story. An incident in which one of the villain alliances sealed off a city to kill a hero, released a cockatrine and slaughtered its citizens, killing more than 30,000 civilians.
She seemingly caught and announced that they had all been executed, but she knows. In fact, the beings who supervised it were openly alive and still lurking in the dark.
“Could it be that you lost someone important to you in that incident…?”
“Yes, I think it is. Otherwise, there is no way to know such detailed information. And it seems that a lot of research has been done on how to effectively ‘kill’ a cockatrine.”
“… Let’s take a look. Don’t dig into it too much.”
“All right.”
Grandehill moved the shadow and disappeared from her room in an instant. Titania stared at the distant sky through the window for a moment. Revenge. Revenge She remembered the word and lost her thoughts.
