I Became a Face Genius at the Academy

Chapter 196

Sorus is adjacent to Emmeline, where the Shun family resides.

I even prepared some, so it won’t take long to get to the point where the problem started.

“There is no defense in the city where Sorus is.”

Each city in Liden has private soldiers from the major families that rule the city. Their main strength is, of course, proper wizards, and they have some degree of resistance against monsters.

There is no such power in the vicinity of Sorus. because it is not needed

Myan, the city where Sorus is located, is a neutral city. It was a judgment that the highest level of education and research institutes could not be placed under a certain family, and there was a calculation that it was possible.

Sorus is a top-notch magic academy on par with Summer Turge. The professors who stay there are also undoubtedly excellent wizards.

However, many of the professors who taught Sorus’ students were also caught up in the Abyss disaster, and many of them died. In other words, the ability to resist monsters has drastically decreased.

“How about advanced monsters?”

“At least 20 are said to be.”

“Um… … .”

The wizards of the Shun family swallowed their saliva. Obviously, even high-level monsters can be defeated with the combined efforts of excellent mages.

An elder like Humpt would be able to handle two or three by himself.

However, having 20 high-level monsters in ‘one place’ is a different story.

“Isn’t there a mistake? How is it that it was hard to find even one inland?”

“We don’t know either. Maybe there was a dungeon like an abyss.”

“Nonsense. I finished my research a long time ago. That means high-level monsters can’t appear. Their biology has never been reported.”

It was a story coming and going from a nearby horse-drawn carriage when they had just started moving. I could hear Humpt because he was so loud.

“Oops. Why is this not the way Riden used to do Rongrult?”

“My family was not involved.”

“You mean you knew?”

“Yeah… … . Things like that kind of strategy all come from the Council of Elders. My father was against it.”

Nasha said in an apologetic tone. I had no idea.

“You don’t need to explain to me.”

“For now, that’s it.”

In the first place, this is how Riden used Warp Stone to move monsters in order to lower the status of Summer Turge.

A similar thing is going on in Leiden. Or maybe it’s not the same thing, it’s the same phenomenon… … .

‘what?’

As I said, isn’t that the only way to think about it now?

Advanced monsters are not suddenly born inland. First of all, since the size is conspicuous, it is absurd that it suddenly occurs.

In addition, Warpstone is an artifact that can only be found in Riden. In short, doesn’t it mean that you moved from Liden to Liden… … .

“Wait a minute. Nasha.”

“yes?”

“How many percent of your family’s power are the people who are moving now?”

“It’s about 80.”

“Tell your father. I think you should go back to Emmeline.”

“yes?”

It is the wizard’s magical power that can activate the Warp Stone. Someone intentionally dropped a high-level monster near Sorus.

Why nearby and not inside? It is not very different from night raids.

“Think of it as a diversion.”

Because Sorus is not the purpose.

“But Liden doesn’t fight with each other. There is an intervention from the Magic Society.”

“It’s because there’s no need to fight between families.”

They don’t fight each other, but there is a part where one family gains relatively when they lose.

The Council of Elders of Leeden is the seat of power.

Even if the Magic Society does not tolerate political strife, it will not mediate even the natural disaster of monsters.

“Go and ask your father if he’s had warpstones lately. If there is, just say you will return to Emmeline.”

Now that the monster’s offensive has subsided, will peace come? That’s just optimism. People are greedy and like to quarrel. that’s nature

How can you be sure?

Because that’s the world.

“Well? I brought it in because it was being distributed as research material in the first library.”

“ah… … . That’s it, I’ll go back.”

“Yes? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

As I said, Nasha expressed her intention to return to Emmeline. It was an excuse for not feeling well.

Since I was only with Nasha, I turned the carriage’s head.

Anyway, it’s true that monsters have appeared around Solus, and it’s true that the Shun family’s mages have to move to stop it.

“So, then you’re saying we should stop it together?”

“What are you afraid of? There is nothing scary if you know. So, where is that warpstone?”

The backyard of the Shun family mansion annex.

I secretly dragged out the warpstone I had stored in the mansion’s warehouse. It’s been a long time since I’ve been physically strong. The arm seems to fall off.

“Ugh… … .”

“How about calling someone?”

“You know who’s watching you.”

It was incredibly heavy, but with Nasha’s help, it was barely able to move it on the cart.

[ITEM]

[Warp Stone]

: An ancient artifact. It becomes an exit leading from a distant space.

Also.

It was a warpstone that served as an exit, not an entrance. Still doubtful even if the odds are half.

The Humpt and other members of the Shun family had just started, so there’s no way they’d be working right now.

“I’m selling some floors, okay?”

“This is an annex, so why… … .”

It wasn’t even a garden, it was simply a backyard with dirt.

Permission must have been granted, so I dug up the ground with earth magic at once. Since they were digging out about 30m wide, they were trying to make a small hill with only the soil they took out.

And, coo!

Warpstone was pushed into the dug hole. It’s an ignorant method, but there was no more perfect preparation than this.

Looking down, even the fairly large warpstone was only a dot.

“You can wait now.”

“A monster is coming out of here? It seems delusional… … .”

“Then it will end without any problems. As for Sorus, your family will take care of it.”

“I guess so.”

“Just watch until tonight.”

I sat down and waited for a while.

Nasha went back to her room for a while, and since there weren’t many people left in the mansion, she quickly returned and sat next to her. It looked boring.

“So, what if a monster pops out of this pit?”

“You can wield any magic on this. Would you like to help?”

“No, what should I do next? So, did you want our family to perish for the first library you distributed as a research material?”

The power remaining in the mansion is not enough to stop the monsters that appear.

If a high-ranking monster escapes, Emmeline as a whole will suffer enormous damage, and the Shun family will be held responsible for it.

It is a much more effective method than sending the monster directly to the wizard.

“I don’t know whose work it is.”

If it’s a research material, there must be someone who donated the warpstone to the first library in the first place.

Starting with that person, the officials of the Magic Society, other first-class elder families, or personal grudges. I don’t know these things, so I can’t infer them.

In any case, it is important to be able to save the Shun family from this crisis and build Humpt’s trust at once.

So things went well for me.

“Oh, is this the start?”

It was not until evening that a change occurred below.

An intense light flashed out of nowhere in the dark pit. transmission has begun.

“Kieek… … .”

“Kaaa… … .”

“It’s too far away, so I can’t hear it very well.”

Deep pits reaching 30 m.

The monster appeared, but in fact I couldn’t see it well. I don’t know if it’s a high-level monster or not.

“yap.”

hooked!

The moment I stretched out my hand, dozens of sharp spikes protruding from the wall of the pit mercilessly pierced the monsters.

After repeating this about ten times, the noise stopped. He has to do it ten times, so he’s a tough guy.

“Would you like to catch one too?”

“… … no.”

Nasha, who was watching the scene from the side, shook her head.

Even after that, the monsters continued to appear for 30 minutes, and I easily subdued all the monsters with just “extrude”.

42 in all.

If they were high-ranking monsters, this was definitely what they were looking for.

“Will you listen to me now?”

“I guess… … ?”

“I did it this far, but if you don’t give me permission, you have no conscience.”

“Your father may not know at all. I think it was something very dangerous, but it ended too easily.”

Nasha said in a bewildered voice.

It is clear that a terrible disaster would have occurred if it had been left as it was.

“… … Anyway, it would have been a big deal if it wasn’t for that. thanks.”

“Tell your father well.”

Returning from Myan, Humpt was startled by the sight unfolding in the backyard of the annex. After hearing the circumstances from Nasha, Humpt called me right away.

That’s how I finally found a place to meet with Nasha’s father, Humpt.

“You have been greatly favored.”

Humpt bowed his head first.

Ignored Nasha because her ability did not meet the standards he thought.

Conversely, Humpt was generous with opponents who exceeded his standards.

“I was lucky.”

“It looks like Warpstone took all the other families as well. However, it is said that only our family was attacked by monsters… … .”

“Are there any suspicious places? Like a rival family.”

“There are no enemies in the Shun family. I tried very hard not to cheat with any family.”

“It is difficult to catch the ringleader.”

“okay. Anyway, I want to reward you.”

Although the aftertaste was unpleasant, it had to achieve its intended purpose.

“Then I have a direct request for you.”

“If it is possible.”

“I want to enter the Eternal West. They said you need permission from a first-class elder.”

“Well? Is that all?”

Humpt tilted his head and responded with a puzzled look.

“I thought you would ask for a daughter because you had such a serious expression on your face.”

“No, I have no intention of doing that. Isn’t that a simpler request?”

“Well, of course, the fact that the space is only allowed for first-class elders is a tricky restriction.”

Humpt laughed and shook his head.

“There are not many people who have been directly in, so the rumors seem to be quite inflated. It’s not that great of a place.”

“Is that so?”

“Take this and go to the first library and show it. You should be able to enter. I thought all the truths in the world would be recorded… … . Hee hee, that’s true.”

You’ll find out when you go, Humpt chuckled.
