Chapter 156 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
Because it was such a huge dungeon, even though there had been no major accidents for hundreds of years, a dungeon was still a dungeon.
The area where the dungeon entrance is can be said to be dangerous just because the dungeon break periodically explodes, but are you building an academy or public educational institution there?
To be honest, it is natural to think that this is not a decision that anyone in their right mind could make.
However, there was a reason why the academy was built here, where the entrance to a large dungeon is located.
‘Due to the influence of the dungeon, the essence concentration throughout the academy site was much denser than elsewhere.’
Nowadays, there are several departments other than the combat department, but going back to its history, the academy was an educational facility to train people with special abilities in the military.
Therefore, it can be said that a site with a high essence concentration alone provides a huge advantage in nurturing talented individuals.
‘Because the dungeon was so large, the difficulty level at the beginning of the dungeon was actually quite low.’
In other words, it was said that the dungeon itself was good to use as a place for practical training for young talented people who were just starting to grow.
Of course, as you delve deeper into the dungeon rather than the lower levels, the difficulty level increases exponentially, but since the academy was not built on top of the dungeon to conquer it, it didn’t really matter.
‘There are other reasons such as reducing damage by blocking useless challengers or making it easier to prevent dungeon breaks by periodically cleaning the inside of the dungeon before a dungeon break occurs.’
Anyway, for such complex reasons, the Academy had a huge underground dungeon of the highest level even on the Orbital Continent and was managing its entrance.
Well, in terms of the original game elements, it was a dungeon that existed with the feeling of being the main dungeon that the player mainly had to clear.
Anyway, for that reason, the Academy, which had a huge dungeon underground, was originally a site with a high essence concentration.
In addition, now, thanks to the developed magic civilization, it has been possible to maintain a training facility with a high concentration of essence to the extent that Yeonhwa is amazed by drawing in not only the high concentration of essence spread throughout the academy but also the essence inside the dungeon.
“I guess the people who founded the academy all had their own thoughts.”
“Well… “In my opinion, even if there is some reason, I don’t think it is sane to establish a system on top of a pro-reflation dungeon, especially an academy.”
Through the essence concentration of the training facility, it was acknowledged that the academy and, by extension, the imperial government that ran the academy, were not simply crazy people.
However, even if Yeon-hwa thinks about it, the option of building an academy where students go to school on top of a huge dungeon, also known as a pro-reflation dungeon, is judged to be insane.
In short, should we just say that a crazy person has become a crazy person with his own reasons?
No, Orbital World is a world where men and women are reversed, so since the main gender of those who run the empire is female, should we say that they are crazy bitches?
“Based on what I know about the future, at least naturally, there won’t be any major accidents due to underground dungeons, so let’s think about it.”
“If we put it the other way around, wouldn’t it mean that accidents happen artificially?”
Genos asked as he gently put Yeonhwa down in a corner and joined the conversation between her and Eugene.
Eugene exchanges glances with Yeonhwa with a troubled expression.
Yeonhwa, knowing what that gaze meant, smiled and opened her mouth.
“That’s a pretty sharp question. Even if his personality has been reformed, the understanding he possessed as a Mungokseong will no longer be there.”
“Thank you for the compliment, ma’am!”
When Genos caught her attention and expressed her gratitude to Yeonhwa’s remark, she accepted it as if it was natural and continued her words.
“Sweetheart, just like you said, natural accidents don’t happen, but man-made accidents can happen. That’s why we received permission from the president to enter the dungeon beneath the academy whenever we want.”
Yeonhwa’s explanation reminded Genos of the authority Eugene had obtained at the end of the meeting with the president a few hours ago.
“Ah, so that’s the reason why you received that authority?”
Genos simply thought that Eugene had received the authority for the purpose of attacking the huge dungeon that existed underground in the academy.
But listening to what you’re saying now, doesn’t it sound like you were given that authority to prevent accidents that would happen in the dungeon?
Therefore, Genos was only admiring, blaming himself for not properly understanding his master’s deep meaning.
And in response to Genos’ admiration, ‘This guy, you’re just admiring it without really understanding it?’ Eugene, who saw through it, sighed and explained.
“I’ll say it again, the Empire didn’t build the academy on top of a dangerous dungeon for no reason. “I went ahead with this training facility because it had all the advantages, including the essence concentration.”
Of course, it does not make sense to establish a place where new growth that will lead the future will grow in a level 1 risk zone just because it has advantages.
“It was done because there was a means to cover not only the advantages but also the disadvantages.”
And as proof of that, as a result of the empire being built and established accordingly, the Academy, which has a history of nearly hundreds of years, has never experienced much hardship due to the underground dungeons during that period.
“In other words, the academy is managing it well on its own without us having to worry about accidents occurring due to the dungeon.”
The problem was that the management was only established when there was no artificial ‘interference’.
“In that respect, the current era we live in is a very dangerous era. “It is an era in which the Demon King’s army rises for the first time in hundreds of years and fanatics created by foreigners run rampant.”
And for these obvious enemies of humanity, when attacking the Academy, manipulating the underground dungeons was a very efficient means of sabotage.
“That means the Demon King’s army and Crescent are working in the academy’s underground dungeon… ?”
At Eugene’s explanation, Genos, a former warrior, couldn’t help but be taken aback by the fact that he had never thought much about it even when he was a warrior.
That’s because during her first year at the academy when she was a hero, the Demon Lord and Crescent did not make such a big deal about the academy.
No, there is no need to think only about her freshman year. Even now, when the Demon Lord and Crescent appeared and caused chaos in the world, she had never planned to do anything at the academy.
If we were to call it a manipulative act, would it be the case of the Demon King’s army spy case that Stral Zenon was involved in before Eugene was possessed? It was an incident that could have been resolved without major damage.
However, Eugene ignores such precedents and talks about the two organizations as if they are natural and will target the Academy, which is bound to be confusing.
Of course, Genos, Eugene’s slave, believed his claims. But apart from that, what was confusing was confusing.
“So the hero is here?”
And to Genos, who was so confused, Eugene explained why the Demon Lord and Crescent were targeting the academy where chicks were growing up.
“I… , You mean?”
“Yes, you. “There was a saint there too.”
In addition, there were many talented people at the academy.
That’s why the Demon King and Crescent, who originally would not have cared about where the chicks were raised, began their activities centered on the academy.
‘Well, if this isn’t the true ending route, it’s just a bit of a taste, but…’
Even just looking at the liver develops into an incident that involves the commander of the Demon King’s army, the saintess of Crescent, and Ozone.
And no matter what anyone says, the reason why such big names are involved is because of the protagonists and heroines who are currently gathering at the academy.
“A thousand mujiche in Mungokseong. “Just looking at the name, it means that the talents that would gather in one place to secure any country by any means necessary.”
No matter how much the Demon Lord and Crescent were not very interested in the Academy, they were prey worth touching at least once.
“Even if you were enslaved and expelled from the academy and the saint died, it is a place full of other talented people.”
Excluding the hero, there were still three heroines left. … Well, with the death of the main character, he won’t be returning to the academy right away.
No, in the case of magicians and half-dragons, there was a high possibility that they would drop out of the academy.
Even if that were the case, there were sub-heroines who would enter the first year.
In fact, Nefty from the idol route and Platinum from the target route were receiving attention from the public due to their admission to the combat department.
Even if the main heroines have left temporarily or temporarily, the presence of these two people alone is enough reason for the Demon King’s Army and Crescent to keep the Academy in check.
But in addition to this, even though he is now a slave, a warrior who has not yet lost the right to own a holy sword is returning to school again?
“Of course he will resort to trickery. Of course, unlike the true ending route, rather than making a plan and making a plan, it is at the level of making a plan behind the scenes with the feeling that it is okay if you die or not.”
However, even though it was a lukewarm effort compared to the true ending route, it was an event designed to create a crisis in the regular route.
In other words, it is a dangerous event that can lead to a bad ending if you do not stop it.
“And one of them is a masterpiece using the academy’s underground dungeon.”
Therefore, Eugene obtained permission to enter the academy’s underground dungeon and meet the president face to face.
Like the main character in the original, there was also a purpose to obtain the hidden pieces hidden in the dungeon by entering and conquering the dungeon when desired.
However, more than that, there is also a purpose to prevent the manipulation of the Demon King’s army, the third force, and Crescent, which will be carried out mainly in the dungeon.
“Well, the original plan was to use the book I handed over to the president earlier as an excuse to confront the president and then gain authority.”
It was different from the main character group in the original work. The main heroine enters the academy with the title and her talent already proven.
Therefore, the Academy granted them the authority to voluntarily enter the dungeon for the sake of their growth.
For that reason, the original protagonist became friendly with those heroines, and from the beginning of the game, even regular students in the combat department were able to enter and level up dungeons that were not permitted until the second semester of their first year.
But since Eugene didn’t have that, she was stuck and had to wait until the second semester.
Of course, Eugene had no intention of doing that. If she was wrong, she would get Yeonhwa’s help and she was thinking of hiding in the dungeon.
Well, as mentioned, she was planning to obtain the authority through a transaction through a courtesy book, but that plan was actually a bit later.
“I couldn’t believe it because Yeon-mae insisted on staying in the same dormitory as me, so I didn’t expect to meet the president face-to-face today.”
“Hehe, thanks to you, wouldn’t tomorrow’s operation be able to proceed more easily?”
“To be honest, if it were me, Yeonmae would have authority, but if she doesn’t, it doesn’t really matter, right? “Can’t we just kill him and hide?”
“Hmm, wouldn’t it be better to save energy to kill the presence?”
“It’s not wrong…”
In the ensuing conversation between Eugene and Yeonhwa, Genos, who was listening to Eugene’s explanation, realized one thing and was surprised to ask.
