I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter

31 – Chapter 11. Military Academy Ghost Story – 2

– 32 –

“School 7 Mysteries?”

After ordering something to drink, I sat down, introduced myself briefly, and was talking for a while.

After listening to the complaints of seniors’ experiences, the topic I wanted came up and I asked.

“What do you have?”

“I also heard from my seniors… ….”

The seniors each started talking about what they knew, but the list didn’t all match up.

As an excuse, each of them said that they had heard of it, and began to look at Kaon one by one.

Kaon, who had been quiet, sighed briefly, cleared his throat, and said.

“Most of them are just nonsense, like the stories that are common in school, but some are true. Especially the 5th floor of the old school teacher I told you earlier.”

The other seniors nodded their heads eagerly.

“We experienced it firsthand.”

“I was scared.”

“Didn’t you cry then?”

“Isn’t it?”

Seeing the seniors who couldn’t stand it and clashed with them, Kaon wrapped his arms around his forehead.

“I’m sorry. The kids are a bit arrogant.”

It’s nice to see you friendly, but what?

Juup

I drank the cocoa in front of me at once and asked Kaon a question.

“What is there?”

As if trying to recall her memories, Kaon covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her eyes.

“At first, there were only rumors and there was not much to go to, but there is a warehouse there. There are some problems that I can only store there.”

The introduction was getting longer.

It’s almost lunch time, so I have to finish the story quickly.

“Body.”

“Oh, sorry. It doesn’t matter if normal people go to the 5th floor, but when a person with good spirit affinity goes, strange things happen.”

It’s spirit-friendly.

It smells. Smells related to spirits.

“What phenomenon?”

“The door opens and closes on its own when no one is there, or the window is closed and the papers are fluttering, or something like that.”

“That’s right. Rumors abounded, and it was the first time in years that anyone had actually experienced it, but somehow we got caught up in it.”

“Among us, Kaon is the only person with good spirit affinity. Thanks to that, Kaon is not allowed on the 5th floor.”

At Ras Tina’s words, Kaon scratched the bridge of her nose in embarrassment.

“Do you know when it started?”

Kaon answered Rian’s words.

“Her grandmother said she was from the military academy and she had been there before.”

“Ah, the former Duchess was a senior at our military academy.”

Grandma, you must be quite famous.

I heard that she was a harpy pilot who made a name for herself, according to Armion.

It must be such a great spiritist that he can drive a harpy, a flying relic that doesn’t even have a manual.

So you must have recognized me at a glance.

It seems that the ability gets diluted as you go down the generations.

By the way, how old is it if the abnormality has been there since then?

It must be a legend that has been around for at least several decades.

“Anyway, be careful. Erif especially.”

“Why?”

When I questioned Kaon’s words, he said with a pretty serious face.

“I heard from my uncle, that you have a stronger spirit affinity than me. I’m worried.”

I’m sure Kaon will worry about me.

However, those worries were overshadowed, and the exploration of the 5th floor of the old school building was already deeply entrenched in my mind.

My intuition for finding the two weapons gave me a faint hint this time.

However, there was no justification and lack of information to visit blindly.

It’s scary if the identity of the monster is a ghost.

After that, we talked for a while, and when it came time for lunch, we broke up with Kaon and the others.

And again, under the guidance of Rihanna, I stopped by a high-end restaurant to eat, and then returned to school.

I think I’m just eating too much.

I need to save up my pocket money and buy a present later.

I said goodbye to the two of them because I was planning to stop by the lab in the middle.

“Will you come in for dinner later?”

“Yes.”

“I have nowhere to go. I’ll see you tomorrow. Cermia, Erif”

“Goodbye.”

After seeing off the two of them, they moved to the laboratory.

“Ah, Erif-sama?”

When the guard saw me, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

What’s on your face?

“That… …. Your clothes fit you well! Enter!”

Is it because of the clothes?

Coming to think of it, a white dress with a lot of frills was not suitable for going to and from the lab.

I received a white robe at the entrance of the lab, wrapped it tightly, and headed to my body.

“Erif-sama?”

Even though it was Sunday, quite a few researchers were carrying out research while holding my body and weapons.

“I’m here to help.”

“Really? You’ll be busy adjusting for a month or two, so you don’t have to come, the principal…….”

“Okay. Because the faster the research, the better for me.”

The researchers’ expressions brightened noticeably, and each of them ran away with papers and notebooks in their hands.

“Erif! Is it true that the spirits placed in the main body are 5 medium wind spirits, 2 medium fire spirits, and 20 low wind and fire spirits groups?”

Is that so?

I was hesitating because I didn’t know well, and other researchers asked me a question.

“You asked us to test and analyze the durability of this weapon named ‘Hellfire’, but it is difficult to calculate the amount of mana required with our technology right now, so could you please demonstrate it?”

“The durability test of the body comes first! Erif-sama’s safety must come first…….”

I got dizzy as the researchers started talking to each other.

Pair

The older researchers clapped their hands, and the researchers shut their mouths.

Somehow I heard that it was familiar, but it was a researcher I met at the excavation team.

“Erif. Start with the Hellfire durability test you asked for first.”

As he was a fairly high-ranking person, no one complained about his words.

“Yes. Okay.”

As a matter of fact, you need to listen to the experts to make things go faster.

He helped the research for hours by operating the helicopter according to the instructions of the researchers and answering the questions with as much knowledge as possible.

“Thank you, Erif. We will organize the research data for easy viewing later.”

Today’s research is over.

The apparent reason I came here today was to help with research, but the hidden purpose was to get information about the 5th floor of the old school building.

I’m sure there are people who have been here for a long time, and there are people who are teachers or lecturers, and above all, they are experts in spirits, so you can get some hints.

Researchers were busy arranging the results of the experiments so far.

Should I take a breather before talking about it?

Let’s see…….

When I left the large room with the main body, I saw a place where I could drink water.

Next to it, I saw a small room with various bags scattered around, and as I slipped around, a researcher smiled and spoke to me.

“Erif. Can I get you something to drink?”

“Yes.”

There were quite a few drinks that vaguely remained in my memory. Coffee, iced tea, cocoa…….

I drank cocoa earlier, so let’s drink a cup of coffee like an adult.

“A cup of coffee, please.”

“Do you like coffee? How much sugar would you like?”

“Black.”

At my words, the researcher asked with wide eyes.

“Oh my. Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

I mean. My memory is hazy, but I have a vague feeling that I drank quite a bit of coffee.

After a while, coffee with a strong aroma was placed in front of me.

Well. Smells good.

The hot coffee was cooled by blowing.

It’s hard to eat hot food except for soup.

I drank coffee at once as if to ask the researcher who looked at me with worried eyes.

“Pooh! Cologne!”

“Erif-sama!”

This is too bitter to use, humanly. No, spiritually.

“Kellogg. Kellogg.”

After wiping his lips with the handkerchief given to him by the researcher, he wiped the floor with a tissue and a mop.

The researcher said he would do it, but he was stubborn and wiped it off himself.

If you cause more trouble than this, you won’t be able to carry your face.

After asking him not to spread rumors, he promised as he walked up to his little finger.

Because I don’t want to die because I’m embarrassed.

After I barely cleaned up, I went back to the room where the main body was with a nonchalant face.

The highest person here is probably that middle-aged male researcher who just cleaned up the situation.

Now that I think about it, it’s almost as if that person gave me my name.

It was a misinterpreted name, but I was glad that it was much more like a name than ‘Misfire’.

You’ve probably been here for quite some time, so you might know about the 5th floor of the old school building.

“There. Ask me a question.”

“Yes, Erif-sama.”

The researcher’s eyes and glasses shone.

I was a little sorry that I was expecting something.

“Have you been here long?”

“Yes. I have been working there for about 15 years.”

“Have you ever heard of a rumor on the 5th floor of the old school teacher?”

The researcher thought for a moment and then flicked his finger.

“Oh, that! Come to think of it, she stopped forgetting to tell Erif. hahahaha.”

As soon as he had finished speaking, he called another researcher and gave instructions, then took me to another room.

“Research Director’s Office?”

“Please wait here.”

The researcher went into the room after knocking, and then came out quickly.

He put the thing he was holding into my hand.

It was an ordinary looking key.

“Is this?”

“This is the key to the 5th floor of the old school building. It’s a bit of a special area, so it’s being managed by the school and our research center at the same time.”

I think you’ve got it right if it’s being managed by the lab.

“Spirit related?”

“Yes. You are also Erif. Greater wind spirits are known to inhabit there.”

“Greater Wind Spirit.”

The researcher nodded his head and began walking slowly.

“Erif, have you ever seen a higher spirit enter a relic?”

“No.”

“The relics that require higher spirits are [Behemoth Type], A minor copy version of Master Chromium, but it’s natural that you haven’t seen it since it doesn’t exist in Korea. Higher level spirits are strong, but they are so rare that most medium level spirits are mobilized for mass production.”

In a word, it was an over-spec spirit that was difficult to use for mass-produced relics because there were so few.

“Like Erif-sama, he cannot handle relics on his own, he is not one who listens to our orders, and, decisively, there has been no relic that can inhabit a higher wind spirit. For a harpy or a beholder, three intermediate wind spirits are enough.”

After hearing more about the story, it seems that he is not a humanoid like me, and he cannot even move relics directly.

“That is why we have neglected the higher spirits. Since the higher spirits were staying, I put items related to the relics to prevent the spirits from coming out, and the items that needed to be charged automatically recharged if left for a long time, so they were well used. Nowadays, technology has advanced, so there is no need for that.”

Higher spirits must have been used as a substitute for chargers.

Semna. Spirit has pride.

I have to either catch him or release him.

Can you say that giving me this key entrusted me with this task?

“Higher Spirit, what do you do?”

The researcher smiled playfully, folded his arms toward his body and bowed his back.

“As Erif-sama wants.”

Okay. Shall we go see him first?

“Oh. It’s late today, so let’s mobilize people and go together next weekend. We will send a few.”

Looking at the clock, it was already close to evening.

I have no choice but to postpone meeting the higher spirits until next week.

“Okay. Next Saturday, get ready.”

“Yes. Erif.”
