Chapter 14 – 14. Secret
The four people who entered the room could only stare blankly at the burnt and flying notes.
What on earth is this?
[Hehehe.]
A girl’s voice rang out even though no one spoke. The first to react was Professor Per, who seemed the most dull.
“Aaaah! also! It came again! “Here we come again!”
He immediately crouched down, covering his ears, and started screaming. Erica rushed to wrap her arms around her, but it had no effect.
“Let’s go outside first.”
Could it be that the door is locked?
Erica was momentarily worried, but fortunately the doorknob turned properly and she was able to go outside.
“What is this?”
“The girl in the lab. “It seems like the kid was up to some trick.”
Gideon and Keren seemed quite calm.
In particular, in the case of Keren, he was quick to return to his usual self even though he had just lost the key to solving this case.
Again and again.
As the four people walked out into the hallway outside the room, a hard sound was heard. Since the sound has been ringing according to a certain rule, we recognize that it is the sound of footsteps.
[Guys.]
Before I knew it, a bent old woman was standing in front of the stairs leading downstairs.
The moment Karen saw it, she had an intuition.
“Professor Erica. “Try using hallucination removal magic.”
“Perfect the body and soul, distort and vomit out the corrupted filth, purification.”
The clean sound of chanting unraveled like a skein of thread, naturally creating magic and embracing the four people.
However, despite this magic, the old woman still did not disappear and raised her head in this direction.
Where the eyes should have been, there remained only a vast ocean-like darkness.
[Would you like some candy?]
The same repertoire that the students were talking about. I heard that soon his body will stiffen and he will be forced to eat his eyeballs.
“I have no intention of being swayed by any of this.”
Gideon, who was feeling humiliated at having been caught up in such a trivial situation, could not bear it anymore and stepped forward.
Place your open palms next to your waist. Take a stance as if you are pulling out a sword with the opposite hand.
Grumble!
In an instant, a flaming sword appeared and brightly lit up the fourth floor like a beacon. The heat pressing down on my entire body warms me up.
Gideon rushed forward, drawing a sword made of flame.
Unlike the students, my intention was to solve it right away without any fear.
Stand tall.
My body stops.
Then the old woman smiled and approached Gideon, who was aiming his sword at her neck.
[So, what do you want to eat?]
Bye.
The long tongue touches the cold floor so easily. And the old woman’s eyeball on top of it.
Gideon tried to hit the monster-like tongue right away, but of course his body didn’t move at all.
“… … !”
Even the words don’t come out properly. I can’t even swallow my saliva, and my uvula has stopped shaking. A world literally frozen with only consciousness remaining.
The person who spoke out was the health teacher.
“I will eat it.”
[Huh?]
The old woman’s eyes turn to Keren. To be exact, I rolled my eyes over her tongue and looked this way, but anyway.
“I want to eat grandma’s candy.”
The moment those words were finished, the old woman had already passed Gideon and was standing in front of Keren.
The old woman smiled brightly as if she was satisfied and slowly took Keren’s hand and raised her eyes.
Without hesitation, Keren put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
gulp.
“… … “It’s delicious.”
Erica next to her frowned in disgust, and Per’s cheeks were already swollen, and he looked like he was holding back vomiting.
The old woman stood blankly at Keren’s answer, then smiled in satisfaction and hugged her tightly.
[Okay, as long as it’s delicious, that’s fine.]
The old woman just disappeared.
“Uweeeek!”
Per went to the corner of the hallway and started vomiting profusely, and Erica asked Keren while shedding a cold sweat.
“Are you okay?”
“There is no problem. “I’ve had it before.”
“… … yes?”
Erica was wondering if she had understood what she had just said properly, but Karen instead put her hands in her pockets and pursed her lips.
He seemed to be deep in thought, but then he opened his mouth.
“Oh, it smells fishy. “I need to rinse my mouth first.”
Karen went into the nearby bathroom. While working as a mercenary, she had heard that she was a monster who had crossed the line of fire many times, but Erica was surprised to learn that she was a woman with more courage than she thought.
“… … shit.”
Gideon, unable to offer any resistance to the old woman, clenched his fists in anger and went straight down to the first floor.
Without even paying attention to Gideon, Erica thought as she used magic to clean up Per’s vomiting.

From now on, life at the academy will be very difficult.

“… … .”
The path leading down to the Verdi family’s basement was more hidden than I thought.
If I were to be honest, should I say it’s underground?
The first basement floor is a space prepared for users and consists of accommodations, a kitchen, and a cleaning room.
A place where preparations are made below to serve us and our guests above.
Past that, there is a door leading further down in a warehouse room.
I cross my arms as I look at the door, which is blocked by several layers of wooden planks as if it were sealed.
“What is here?”
As I slowly turn my head, my eyes return to Findenai standing next to me. Of course she doesn’t know, so I move my gaze one more space to the side.
The butler who accompanied me to the basement explained to me with puzzled eyes.
“Well, it’s not specifically known to us, but we just know that it’s a place where the old history of the Verdi family rests.”
“Old history?”
“That’s right, so it’s a place that has been off-limits for a long time.”
The butler glanced at me with eyes that said you, the second son of the Verdi family, should not know that.
After saying that it’s okay, let’s go, I quietly touch it.
thud! Thump thump!
Immediately, a black shimmer came pouring out from the gap between the door and the board.
“Huh? “It was a more interesting mansion than I thought?”
Findeneye looks around, making a snoring noise as if it is quite interesting. Although she could not be seen as a spiritual being, her animal-like senses seemed to give her a sense of foreboding.
I rest my chin in front of the door and look at the black shimmer that is poking out.
The thing that was fluttering around as if it had an ego was full of anger, as if it would drag me in at any moment if it touched it.
“hmm.”
After letting out a short breath.
I slowly stretched out my hand. Then Skal, who was hiding, immediately took my staff and placed it in his hand.
This is what I used when I climbed the North Wedden Mountains last time.
“Summon a wand… … “It’s hard to estimate my master’s skills.”
Ignoring Findeneye who was humming next to me, I spoke while pointing my cane at the ground.
“Findenai.”
“yes?”
“Destroy it.”
Normally, if you receive an order like this, it’s normal for you to ask it again. For example, in the case of Skal, even though he was a ghost, he looked at me in surprise.
But Finden Eye is different.
“okay!”
Without any hesitation, he puts a lot of force on his feet and pushes down, smashing the door.
Quad deuk!
Perhaps because it was an old door, the door was helplessly broken and turned into pieces of wood rolling on the floor.
Insects pouring out along with the spreading dust.
The employees, startled by the sudden commotion, come into the warehouse, but it doesn’t really matter.
I frown, covering my mouth with my sleeve without even looking at them.
‘The energy is strong.’
More than the dust and bugs, the energy of the evil spirit that was constricting my whole body made it difficult to breathe.
‘It is not a spiritual object, but it has a comparable energy. However, it is ambiguous to even consider it as a commandment.’
Usually, Jibakryeong tend to exert explosive influence in their area. In this case it seemed a little different.
If my grandmother had been there at a time like this, she would have given me the answer right away.
Although I felt a little regretful, I took my steps forward.
“hmm? “Do you want to go inside?”
“If you don’t go, you won’t get any answers.”
“Well, that’s right. “The owner is more generous than I thought.”
Finden Eye said he liked it and started following me. I light a small fire at the tip of my finger and go down the stairs.
The deeper you go, the stronger the pushing force becomes. Still, I kept going. In this intuitive power struggle, it is difficult for a lion to defeat a living person.
Because we have mass.
Tap, tap, tap.
The stairs in the basement continued endlessly. In the middle, I heard something from above, probably Darius or Deia, who came and cursed at me.
“But I guess the owner doesn’t know much about his family?”
“Because I’m not the head of the family.”
Actually, it’s not that she’s not the head of the family, it’s just that she’s not Deius herself. It’s been 6 months now, so what do I know?
There are a lot of things you don’t know about your family. Even strangely, the Verdi family had a lot to hide.
“Wow, you’re very different from what I heard through rumors.”
“rumor?”
Anyway, there is nothing to do while going down the long stairs. When I asked her what the rumors were about, Finden Eye shrugged her shoulders and answered.
“No, from what I heard, the maids who work there told me that he is a lecher who is very fond of women.”
“… … .”
“The maids are also dressed in such vulgar things. But you don’t really touch anything, do you?”
It’s ridiculous to say to myself that I’ve changed, and even if I say it, nothing will change.
After all, the woman named Findenai was the type of person who intuitively believed what she saw, heard, and felt rather than hearsay.
Rather, what I wanted to give was advice.
“It is not a good idea to pass on the maids’ rumors to the master.”
“It’s not like I’m going to stay here for the rest of my life.”
“Still, you’d better be careful. The maids are sources of information in North Sweden. “Nothing bad will happen if you become friends with them.”
“… … .”
I don’t need to add that gathering information is especially urgent if you were working as a scrap metal dealer.
Even if it was Finden Eye, I would have noticed that much.
“Oh, by the way, saying that made me think of something. “Did you run an errand outside today?”
“… … ?”
“A very fancy-dressed woman asked me if I was back? “She’s a sweetheart.”
“… … Phew.”
“It doesn’t look like that, but I guess he visited Changgwan often. He said he would be waiting for me in the evening. They provided plenty of service. “You want me to lick your ass too?”
I’m not angry or anything.
I just exhaled calmly and tried to suppress the pounding headache.
How far has this damned body gone? As I’m fixing this, something else pops up.
‘Now that they found out about these rumors, they might have kicked me out.’
I also thought that the reason why my fiancée, Erica Bright, kicked me out of the Academy was because I heard these bad rumors.
I heard there hasn’t been a request to break off the engagement yet from the Bright family, so maybe they’re just taking the time to save my face?
‘There is no need to hesitate.’
Thinking it was a useless consideration, I reached the end of the stairs.
Findeneye thought it was strange that I kept my mouth shut and asked in surprise.
“What, are you really going to go to dinner?”
“Ha, I’m not going.”
