Possessed With the Academy Game. 567

Chapter 567 - Chapter 567. Iris Guild (6)

A private room in the corner of the training room.
It is a place for personal training, but today it is used as a place for secret talks.

"My friend, what's going on? There are still a lot of people who need to be taught by me."
"Heh. He's telling me to come and go as he pleases, even though he's a human."
"If it's here, I'll be able to talk to the guild members in secret."
"Thank you, Mr. Irene."

I have a lot to say to the hells, but before that, there's something I need to point out.
It's been annoying since before.

"Albedo. Do you remember me?"
"... Yes."

Lee Ho-yeon met Albedo and her eyes. The fact that he slightly averted his own eyes seemed to know where he was.

Albedo, the incubus.
The reason he was kept alive is because Irene asked for Albedo as a result of the investigation.
It was annoying in many ways, so I threw it into the Iris Guild and didn't contact them for quite some time... In the meantime, why did the child become like this?

"Did you always have such a bad habit? The last time I saw you, he was kind."
"... I'm sorry."
"Calm down dude. Even if you're fine with guild members, always say honorifics to Elise or Irene. Okay?"
"Yep ..."
"Strange Nightmare. I've been curious about it before, but why are you bowing down to that human like that?"
"Shut up. Chiron."

Lee Ho-yeon widened his eyes and looked at Albedo, who glared at Chiron.
He can't bear to be angry with himself, so he seems to be attacking the easy-going Chiron.
He was so angry that his mana was draining.

'I was scattering my magic like that, but no one noticed.'

It must be the magic of hell... Is it something different?
Lee Ho-yeon glanced at Irene.
First, we must inform her of the dangers of her infernal magic.

"Chiron. You too, like Albedo, use some magic."
"You mean like this?"
"Well done, Mr. Irene. How is it? Can you feel the similarities compared to the magical power you saw in the black pillar?"
"The color is similar. But it seems to be different from the records we investigated at the Black Pillar?"

Irene also participated in the Black Pillar investigation to some extent as Team 1 leader, but she did not feel any threat from her Black Pillar.

'What's different?'

Lee Ho-yeon continued her worries while looking at the magic of hell that Chiron and Albedo had brought out.
Outwardly, there is no difference.
If you can't tell them apart, it means that other people can't tell them apart either, but if it's the same hellish magic, why can't you notice the difference?

"Albedo."
"Yes, yep."
"Can you feel the difference between when you used magic in hell and when you used it here?"
"I don't know what you're talking about... It's hard to use magic, but there's nothing different."
"How about you Chiron?"
"The environment is different. Hell is full of the magic of hell, whereas this place is full of the magic of the earth. But my magic will not be different."

The Iris guild members, who had seen the magic of hell in person, did not feel a sense of difference.
If Keyron's words are correct, it means that Lee Ho-yeon's thoughts are a little off.

"...Then what about this?"

Squeak-

A pitch-black darkness blooms on Lee Ho-yeon's palm.
Both Rebecca and Imsol noticed her sense of heterogeneity only after seeing her own magic.

Yes.
Perhaps the premise was wrong in the first place.
It is not that the perception of the black pillar has changed.
What if the perception of 'hell's magic' has changed?

“Oh, oh oh...! I feel chills all over my body.”
"Hmm?! This is the scent of hell? I can feel the perfume of hell."
"How can you get such perfect magical power..."
"Human, no Lee Ho-yeon. What is that?"

It was strange.
To put it mildly, as expected. At worst, an irritating reaction.
Lee Ho-yeon sighed and said to Chiron and Albedo.

"When I asked you about the magic of hell, you didn't say anything about the environment. If the magic was strange, you should have told me earlier."
"Is that so? I don't remember trivial things."

... Are you kidding these babies?
I wish I had told you sooner.
Then it would be easier to understand the situation.

"Now I understand why my strength has weakened! Strange Nightmare! It's time for you to regain your strength again!"
"Yes. It wasn't simply a matter of adaptation. The environment was a pretty big problem."

She tried to swear at me, but if you think about it, it might not be Chiron and Albedo's fault.

'They might have changed their perceptions too.'

Chiron and Albedo were from hell, so I thought it would be okay, but I have to look at it by God's standards.
In the eyes of humans, Chiron, and gods, they must be the same insignificant creatures.
It's not just human perception that has changed, it's that the perception of all beings has changed.

'Even after the battle with Lucifer, Imsol was the only one who noticed something strange.'

If touching the magic of hell was the trigger, everyone who participated in the battle with Lucifer should have felt strange.

'Is the reason I'm okay with being alone because of the god of betting?'

Lee Ho-yeon is an irregular.
Since he was invited by the god of betting, he did not originally belong to this world.
Could it be that the god of this world couldn't affect him, or that the god of betting prevented him in the middle?

"Definitely this is similar. Even the magic of Lucifer and the Black Pillar... But how do you use this magic?"
"It's the result of magic research."
"..."

Irene narrowed her eyes, but Lee Ho-yeon naturally continued.

"That's not what's important. Lucifer's raid, the black pillar, the runaway phenomenon in the dungeon. It's all because of the pandemic."
"Didn't you say the magic of hell? What does the pandemic have to do with the magic of hell? It's quite large for a simple terrorist group... But it seems to be slowing down a bit as the organization has recently been pouring out its power and disintegrating."
"It's not just a terrorist group. They're trying to summon hell into this world."
"Hell?"
"Hell is a different world where Chiron and Albedo were born. We are trying to assimilate that world with Earth by using the black pillar."

Irene, who was listening to Ki-ron and Lee Ho-yeon's conversation, couldn't help but be taken aback by the terms she was hearing for the first time.
Are you saying Chiron wasn't just a monster?
Of course, I've talked about hell and all, many times, but... She only knew it was bullshit, of course.

"I'm sorry, but it's going so fast that I can't understand it. What is the purpose of the pandemic?"
"I don't know what the purpose is. What's certain is that I can't leave those madmen alone."

When Irene saw Lee Ho-yeon frowning at her, she was surprised inside.
I thought she only knew women, but her hatred for her pandemic was genuine.
Irene asked with a serious expression.

"Isn't that clear information? The purpose of a pandemic is something I've never heard of before."
"Yes. If you investigate the Black Pillar, it will be revealed naturally."
“I wonder how you know that information... Re-investigation of the Black Pillar. Yes. I understand. As soon as the current investigation is over, I will report it to the guild leader. If Alice and I guarantee it, it won’t be difficult for the Iris Guild to pour all their efforts into it.”
"Ah."

The investigation the guild leader is currently conducting is about Lucifer.
And most of the information he is looking for is known to Lee Ho-yeon.
Lee Ho-yeon cleared his throat and then continued.

"... As for the investigation on that Lucifer. I have some information. Ask Chiron some questions and I'll go to Irene's room."
"Do you have any other information? Is there really an informant I don't know about? Is it Scarlett?"
"It's not like that. I'll finish it soon and go."
"Can I help you?"
"Yes. I'm resting."

After sending Irene out.
Lee Ho-yeon sat down watching Chiron and Albedo.
I didn't think that these guys' perceptions had also changed.

"What are you curious about? Lee Ho-yeon? I don't have any new information to tell you."
"I-I don't have either."
"Albedo, you're done. Chiron, you know what you did last time. You extracted Liliana's memories like marbles."

Hell's magic wasn't the only reason I came here and met these guys.
It was because of the special technique Chiron used.

"Are you talking about memory beads? That's our clan's secret."
"Yeah. I tried to copy it somehow, but it was difficult. Can you use it for others?"
"What do you see me as? It's possible if the other person allows it."
"Good. Try it."

Thump-

Lee Ho-yeon snapped his fingers to open this space in the air.
This space was given by Sister Surin to store Lucifer's body.

Thud-!

After moving magic for a while, Lucifer's giant fell into the training room.
It looks like he'll wake up and scream at any moment, but he's confirmed several times that his life has ended.

"This... Really lucifer. Was it true that he died?"
"There's a corpse in front of my eyes. It's a lie. And why is Lucifer called Lucifer? It's strange. Isn't there a strange name like Wild Gladiator?"
"What do you mean? Lucifer is Lucifer as Killer Queen is Killer Queen."
"That's right. What's wrong with the name Lucifer?"
"... Shut up both of you and talk. Chiron. Can you pull out the Memory Orb?"

Lee Ho-yeon stopped the useless conversation.
It must be his own fault for pointing out the hell guys.

The Memory Orb that Chiron showed was quite a novel technique.
Lee Ho-yeon can make the scene he sees now like a fragment of memory, but it is a little different to extract the memory of the past by visualizing it.
Besides, the memory of the dead, rather than one's own memory, must be much more difficult.
Of course, if you put in the time, you can succeed, but it's much easier to entrust it to Chiron than Lee Ho-yeon to do the research himself.

"What is the purpose of seeing Lucifer's memories?"
"Of course it's to catch the Maestro. Lucifer's memory may contain evidence. Don't be too pressured."
"That person. Hmm. Got it."

There may not be a great harvest, but it is meant as a bonus.
I'd love to do it if I can.
Surin's older sister worked hard and handed over the corpse to me, but honestly, there's nothing I can do with Lucifer's corpse.
If Chiron said no, she was going to hand her over to the Iris Guild.

'If I do that, will I feel sorry for Surin-noona?'

You took care of everything for me.
Well, that much can be done by ripping it off from the Iris Guild.
Lee Ho-yeon looked at Lucifer's corpse and talked to Chiron, who was spilling her magic here and there.

"So, can you get the memory marble out?"
"Impossible."
"Why can't you?"
"I really want to ask. Why did you think it would be? Bringing the body of the dead and taking out the memory."
"It's okay. If it doesn't work, go to training. I'll come back later if I remember something else to ask."

In fact, Lee Ho-yeon did not have high expectations either.
It's good if it does, not if it doesn't.
It was just that much of an expectation.

"But... If it's Lucifer, it might be possible."
"What?"
"Because he is such a strong devil, his will remains even after death. This is the reason why I did not believe when I first heard that Lucifer was dead. His presence remained in this world. This is his identity. If it's a stuck memory, I might be able to pull it out."
"A deeply embedded memory? What exactly is it?"
"It was literally a shock to Lucifer or something that was stuck in his memory and never forgotten. You won't know until you take out the memory orb."
"...Better than nothing."

It's a deeply embedded memory.
It seemed like there was an important scene for some reason.

"Maybe we'll be able to see Lucifer's first experience. It's a rare sight. I'm looking forward to it a little."
"This isn't crazy."
"Ah..."

Lee Ho-yeon slapped Albedo on the back of the head as she crouched next to Chiron and was talking nonsense.
Maybe it's because he's an incubus, but he's talking like that even though he's lost his sexual desire.
I feel bad.

"I won't be able to train for a while. I'll focus on making memory beads."
"It took a long time? You made it right back then."
"Your own memories and those of others are completely different. It takes a lot of time."
"Hmm. Okay. I'm going to hand over Lucifer's body to Iris Guild. I'll tell you in advance, so you can ask Irene."
"Lucifer's memory is what I'm looking forward to. It's good to help humans train, but I think it's fun too."

It's a pity that it takes time, but you can go home and come back after the results are out.
Talking to Irene will make it easier for you on your next visit.

"Albedo. Don't forget what I said. Don't mess around with Irene and Alice."
"Ah, I see..."

After capturing Lucifer's corpse.
Watching Albedo bend her waist at 90 degrees, Lee Ho-yeon exited the private room.
I have to go back to Team 1's office.
