Chapter 392 – Mythology Academy
Seong-il, who has sorted out the situation, returns to the hospital room with the two watchers whose limbs are tied up as a result of the altercation.
‘For now… Leave these bastards alone…’
After restoring the captured watchers with potions, Seong-il used the 『Spellbook of Wonders』 To cast a sleep spell on them.
He attaches a tiny electric shock device the size of a fingernail to the soles of their feet to wake them up from fainting according to the situation.
‘Everything is ready.’
Seong-il finished the bottom work. After slightly loosening the gags of the watchers, he goes out the door and calls Claudia using the communication device dedicated to the leadership team.
“Boss. It’s an emergency. Please visit us.”
“Hmm!? What’s going on? Seongil-kun?!』
“Once you come to the hospital room, you will understand. This is a serious matter to discuss with a magic letter.』
I talked in detail for no reason, Claudia dragging the professor back and forth could have been a headache, so rather than saying much, Seong-il only highlights the urgency and induces her to come here alone.
***
“Sungil-kun!! What’s going on!!”
“Are you here?”
“Yes! What happened…? What?! That blood?!”
Slight blood stains on Seongil’s white hospital gown. Claudia is startled by his appearance and approaches him.
“For now… Please lower your voice.”
“Hmm…?!”
Claudia looks puzzled at Seong-il’s request. Seong-il continues her words by handing her a jewel of her memory, which she edited in advance.
“…There was an assassination attempt.”
“What… What?!”
Seong-il’s words turn Claudia’s expression into astonishment. When she screams at her in surprise, Seong-il quickly raises her hand and puts her palm on Claudia’s mouth, then pretends to look around her, then tells her quietly.
“Shh! Another enemy may remain. Silence…”
“Ah…”
“First of all, the situation at the time was recorded using magic, so please take this and look at the video. Then you won’t have to give unnecessary explanations.”
“Is it so…”
At Seong-il’s reasonable words, Claudia calmly holds the memory jewel he gave her without much resistance. Then, the memory of the holy day sucked into one’s mind.
“!!!”
Again, Claudia’s expression begins to be colored with astonishment. The video shown from Seongil’s perspective outside the hospital room was just as shocking.
“Devin… And… Ron?! Why?!”
“Well… For some reason, they tried to assassinate me. Maybe… Main… No, they’re the henchmen of the foreign press?”
Seong-il habitually tries to use the word ‘watcher’ but quickly stops talking.
“They…They…The foreign media’s henchmen!? By the way…How did they film this video?!”
“Ah, that’s… Actually… I have a habit of not sleeping comfortably in a place I don’t know well. I was lying on the sofa resting after making a fake using magic tools on the bed.”
“…You don’t find it easy to sleep?”
“Yes. Since I am the heir to a family with a lot of strife… I have a habit of never sleeping comfortably and being vigilant in a place where I am not sufficiently well-prepared. And that action saved me today.”
“Ah…”
After grasping the situation, while Claudia is frozen in shock at the betrayal of her team members, Seong-il silently returns to the hallway carrying the two traitors from the hospital room.
“…First of all, I knocked them out after an ambush.”
“Okay…”
Claudia makes a bitter expression when she sees the tightly bound traitors. Then, she asks her Seong-il with a puzzled look on what thoughts went through her head.
“By the way… Why did you ask me to come alone? Isn’t it right to call the other members together?”
“I couldn’t trust other people when Devin and Ron, who had been active inside the leadership division for a long time, betrayed me.”
“Hmm…”
“That’s why I urgently called Claudia-sunbae, who I believe in as the ‘only’ in the leading team.”
“Uh…”
When she replies that Seong-il is the only one she trusts, Claudia’s face turns into a strange blush. Frozen for a moment, her expression begins to melt and her smile begins to emerge.
“Oh ho ho ho!!! You believe me!! Yes!! Excellent choice!! Oh ho ho ho!!!”
Claudia begins to have a unique way of speaking when her emotions are intensified. Fortunately, her excuse seems to have worked, so Seong-il carefully injects her magic into the nano-machines and casts her augmented reality.
“By the way…”
“Yes?”
“According to Seongil-gun’s words, it means that other than the two of us, the rest of the team can’t be trusted, so it might be dangerous to go outside with them.”
“Yes. I guess.”
“…In that case, why don’t we call the professor instead!”
“You are right.”
Seong-il sighs in relief at the sight of Claudia, who luckily acts according to her own intentions.
‘Rather than playing tricks right now… Shall we create a more dramatic situation?’
Thinking so, Seong-il doesn’t use her electric shock device right away to wake up those who are watching her, and starts to focus only on grasping the surrounding situation using 『Sensation』.
“Yes! Professor! This is Claudia!!!”
『…』
“The emergency situation… Yes!! Yes!! A traitor who seems to have sold his soul to a foreign press…”
Claudia seems to be in direct contact with the person who seems to be a professor using magic tools. Although he didn’t hear it directly, Seong-il could hear the weak voice coming from the magic tool and feel how angry the professor was.
“Whew…”
“Are you getting help?”
“Yes! I think the professors in charge will come. It’s a big event after all.”
“Yes.”
After answering that, Seong-il takes out the 『Devil’s Tooth』 From his bosom and poses as if he is wary of his surroundings.
“…Do you really want to go that far?”
“I have to. It’s a situation where betrayal has occurred from within, and the members can’t be trusted.”
“Hmm…”
“Besides, my life was threatened two days in a row… I’m mentally unstable if I don’t do this.”
“Ah… I guess so. I was short on my thoughts.”
When Seong-il even raised his magic and took a guarded posture, Claudia looked at him with a puzzled expression. However, listening to the story of the explanation that followed, I think that is a very natural reaction.
‘Well… If I were to be assassinated two days in a row for no reason, I would do that…’
Claudia looks at Seong-il with a slightly sad expression. Seong-il, who reads her feelings as 『Emotion』, Is relieved to the fullest, and she develops 『Emotion』 With all his might.
‘Are you sorry for me? Well… No matter what she thinks of me, it’s fine if I lead this situation to my advantage.’
Thinking so, her seongil is activated by nano machines, combined with augmented reality, and examines the unfolded 『Devil’s Diary』.
‘Hmm… It would be really nice if I could get a mini-map that can be linked with augmented reality in this way? Someday, I’ll have to look for an item like the devil’s map…’
While thinking so, Seong-il finds someone approaching the dorm on the ‘mini-map’.
‘They’re professors…!!’
The long-awaited appearance of the character. Sensing that the time has come, Seong-il carefully uses nano-machines to start the electrical devices installed in the bodies of the two watchers.
Support position!!
“It’s great…!!”
Exciting stimulation felt on the soles of the feet. Thanks to Seongil’s sleep magic, Devin and Ron, watchers who have fallen asleep, wake up in pain.
“Huh?”
As the watchers struggle to get up tied up, Cliudia looks down at the two with a puzzled expression. He talks to her with her shameless attitude, as if she doesn’t know anything about her holy day.
“They must have woken up.”
“Oops!! Whoops!! Whoops!!!!”
The two watchers who figured out the situation. They wriggle on the floor like caterpillars, shaking their bodies in bewilderment.
“Stay still!! You traitors!!”
“!!!”
Devin and Ron’s faces turn blue at Sungil’s word ‘traitor’. As soon as they seem to have fully grasped the situation, Seong-il quickly threatens them to take advantage of it.
“How dare you… Try to assassinate me? Perhaps, you did this under the order of a foreign press? You guys were the ones who summoned the devil yesterday too!!!”
“Eup!! Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh!!!!!”
“Look forward!! You bastards from the foreign press. The professors who will arrive soon will thoroughly interrogate you guys. Prepare yourself. Hell-like pain awaits you guys!!”
“!!!”
The two flinch at Seongil’s terrifying threat. They turn their heads and look at each other’s faces. And Seong-il, seeing that, feels that the situation is going the way he intended.
‘Suddenly… Let’s start…’
In order to eliminate any possible variables caused by Claudia, Seong-il carefully puts himself between the watchers and Claudia, blocks her view, and then talks to her to divert her attention.
“Boss.”
“Yes?”
“…Now that we have captured these foreign agents, wouldn’t it be possible to wipe out the foreign agents hidden within the academy by using them?”
“Umm… I think I can do that enough.”
Claudia nodded earnestly at Sungil’s question. Asking a few questions like that, Seong-il uses 『Emotion』 To constantly look at the observer behind her.
‘Let’s start…?!’
Wow!!
It was definitely the feeling of chewing on something that affected Seongil’s 『Sensation』. Seong-il realizes that they have bitten the suicide poison.
“Oh, and…”
Seongil constantly distracts Claudia. In the meantime, the two observers were eagerly swallowing the poison down their throats.
“Hey!! Are you okay!!!!”
“Ah! Professor, are you here!!”
Professors who wake up from a deep sleep at dawn and come in a hurry, but their usual tidy appearance is nowhere to be found.
Professor Aaron, Ahindel, and Anahilo seemed to regard this case as important.
“Who was the assassin?”
“Ah…They I subdued and left them behind.”
“Any injuries?”
“Fortunately… No. And, the reason I caught them is in this record jewel…”
Seong-il desperately tries to get their attention in order to prevent a catastrophe in which the professors save their watchers with magic.
“Wait!!! Step aside!!!”
“Yes…?”
At the professor’s scolding, Seong-il pretends not to know anything, shows a foolish attitude, and quietly moves to the side.
“Ah!!!”
Then, the sight of the watchers dying with bubbles of blood. Claudia sighs in astonishment at the sight.
“Huh!!”
Seeing the scene, Seong-il desperately hides his emotions and intentionally creates an appearance of astonishment.
“Earth!! Lead your life with infinite vitality!!”
Professor Anahilo urgently summons spirits and casts a recovery spell. However, Devin and Ron, whose poison has already spread, die with their eyes turned upside down, despite being injected with a strong spell.
“This…”
“I… I’m sorry… I… I grabbed them and caught them off guard…”
Seong-il apologizes as if he killed a prisoner because of his mistake. Is it because that desperate smoke is eaten?
Rather than scolding him, the professors comfort him by patting him on the shoulder.
“It’s okay. It’s great that you didn’t fall for the tricks of the foreign media.”
“Yes…”
“…By the way, what is this jewel?”
As the shocking incident goes by, Professor Ahindel asks him a question with a tired expression. Seong-il leaves him with a prepared answer.
“Ah, it’s an ancient magic tool that our family bought with a lot of gold.”
“…What kind of magic tool is it?”
“An artifact that can use magic to put memories into.”
“Hoo…”
“If you put the jewel in your hand and accept the flowing magic power, the memories will be transmitted…”
Seongil explained to Ahindel how to use the memory jewel. The professors who listened to him began to examine the scenes recorded in the memory jewels one by one.
“Hmm…”
A sluggish intestine. The professors seemed shocked that there was a traitor who sold his soul to foreign media from within the leadership team, which could be called the elite of the school.
“…By the way, how did you come to have such a valuable artifact? And why were you filming there?”
“Ah… That’s Seongil-kun…”
Claudia explains the circumstances of the family that Seong-il had just heard about. After hearing all of this, the professors nodded their heads with heavy expressions.
“…Then why do you have storage marbles?”
“Ah, in case someone treats you unreasonably, this item was kept for the purpose of retaliation by reporting it to the family.”
“…”
“…We are a family of merchants. It is best to have a clean transaction relationship, including money, and to do that, recording or recording is the truth.”
“…”
The professors who froze at Seong-il’s plausible explanation. After looking at each other for a while, they begin to smile bitterly.
“…It’s a merchant family, so it’s worth it. Step aside for a moment. We really need to find out if they are the henchmen of foreign media.”
‘…Fortunately, it went well!!’
When all the plays he had prepared for Yudi ended perfectly, Seong-il laughed inwardly and began to think of his next plan.
